Nimitz won’t return in ’16 The decision will reduce disruption for sailors and their families
Dunshee to seek Somers’ position The state representative will try for the nomination to take over the county executive-elect’s job after he finishes work in Olympia. By Noah Haglund Herald Writer
Once the ship’s maintenance work is done, the Nimitz, which is the flagship of Carrier Strike Group 11, would likely be sent out on another longterm overseas deployment, he said. Then, in 2018, the carrier is scheduled for yet more maintenance work at the shipyard in Bremerton.
SNOHOMISH — State Rep. Hans Dunshee wants to take on a new job as a Snohomish County councilman, but not before finishing some business in Olympia. The Democrat from Snohomish announced Tuesday he’ll be seeking the nomination for the council seat that Dave Somers will leave when he takes office as county executive. “I want to bring my passion for building strong communities to Snohomish County,” Dunshee said. Dunshee, who has served in the capitol for two decades, intends to complete the 2016 legislative session, when he’ll have a central role crafting the state budget. The session is scheduled Jan. 11 through March 10. “I’ll be negotiating a budget,” Dunshee said. “I’ve committed to do that.” Somers represents District 5, an area that includes Lake Stevens, Snohomish, Monroe and the U.S. 2 corridor to the east. The councilman defeated County Executive John Lovick on Nov. 3 and is set to be sworn in by the first of the year.

EVERETT — The USS Nimitz will not be returning to Naval Station Everett in 2016, as originally planned. The aircraft carrier was moved to the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton in January for 16 months of large-scale maintenance and upgrades. Now it will remain there through its next maintenance
in 2010, then to Everett in early 2012, and back to Bremerton in 2015. Frequent moves can be hard on sailors and their families, Hawkins said. “Sailors can now continue to focus on training and getting the ship ready for future missions without the added stress of relocating themselves and their families,” Capt. John Ring, the Nimitz’s commanding officer, said in a statement.
Maltby aims to build new park Herald Writer
MALTBY — Carousel Ranch is about to take a new turn. For 80 years, the hilly property on Highway 9 has served as a horse farm. This fall, Snohomish County reached a deal to buy the property, which has belonged to the Curtis family since 1980. The deal will allow a horseboarding business run by family members to stay there
for another year and a half, as the county performs outreach and starts to design a future park. What sold county staff on the property? Like many realestate deals, location, location, location. Carousel Ranch sits on a busy highway, adjoins a rail corridor that the county hopes to acquire and touches the grounds of King County’s Brightwater treatment plant to the south.

Why more vultures eat their prey butt-first By Rachel Feltman
I wrote about sea lions getting deadly dementia from climate change. (That was just recently. There’s a lot of stuff we should feel bad about.) Nature can be a beautiful place, but it can also be really gross. Enter the vulture: These birds love them some fleshy meals, but they’re not designed to actually get to the good stuff
The Washington Post
Maybe you already knew that vultures sometimes eat their meals butt-first. But did you know that the practice is becoming more common and that humans are kinda sorta to blame? I didn’t. And I haven’t felt this bad about human-inflicted suffering on animals since
themselves. They’re just not strong enough to tear into the skin of most big animals. Vultures rely on larger scavengers that can tear into flesh more easily. The vultures just swoop in and eat the leftovers. It’s a really good system. But what happens when a vulture can’t count on buddies such as hyenas to do the hard work? National
Geographic Explorer Jen Guyton explains that a hungry vulture will go straight for the softest parts of the body: the eyeballs and the butt. Here’s where it gets worse: Guyton points out that human hunting has resulted in fewer big cats. Fewer big cats means fewer torn up carcasses, and that means more
butt-first-eating vultures. That approach exposes a vulture to even more bacteria than they’d get from regular old rotting meat. There’s strange fecal matter, obviously, but because the method of eating is slower, it also exposes the birds to more decay. A recent study found that vultures have tons of microbes on their faces (528
different species, on average) but shockingly few in the gut (around 76 types). In fact, the only bacteria that survive in a vulture’s gut are the really nasty ones. It’s possible that the rest of the random microbes they’re exposed to just can’t compete. Meanwhile, vultures have somehow evolved to tolerate the bacteria that cause gnarly ulcers in humans.

By Holly Ramer Associated Press
CONCORD, N.H. — Everyone knows Rudolph has a red nose but what about his eyes? Prompted by questions from his 4-year-old daughter, Dartmouth College anthropology professor Nathaniel Dominy recently wrote a scholarly paper on how the unique properties of reindeer eyes might explain the advantage of having a very shiny nose, particularly if it produces red light. Dominy, who specializes in primate vision, was already familiar with recent research on reindeer eyes when his daughter asked him about Rudolph’s nose. Scientists in Great Britain have discovered that unlike most mammals, reindeer can see ultraviolet light, meaning white polar bears or wolves that absorb UV light would stand out more against a snowy background. Reindeer eyes also have reflective tissue that
Children should be aware of Rudolph’s condition and leave high-calorie foods for him. — Nathaniel Dominy, Dartmouth College anthropology professor
ASSOCIATED PRESS, NOV. 23, 2010 FILE
A reindeer grazes on the living roof of the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco. A scholarly paper explains the advantages of having a very shiny nose.
appears to glow when light hits it — familiar to anyone who’s seen a pet or wild animal illuminated by car headlights. But in reindeer, the tissue changes from a golden color during the summer to a deep blue in winter. “What happens is that at night, the animals are trying to dilate their pupils to allow as much light into the eye as possible, and because those muscles are
so active, it actually blocks little valves in the eye,” Dominy explained. “The pressure in the eye builds up and compresses that tissue in the back of the eye, which causes the refractive properties to change.” While that change could boost an animal’s ability to spot food in the snow when daylight in the Arctic is dim and purplish, it would be a distinct disadvantage on a foggy Christmas Eve
because fog blocks blue light, Dominy said. Enter the red nose. Of all the colors, red light travels through fog fastest, making it ideal for guiding Santa’s sleigh. But there’s also a downside to red noses, he warns. Other researchers have discovered that reindeer noses have a complex system of tiny blood vessels that prevent them from freezing but also results in a loss of body heat. “That’s bad. You want to retain as much heat as possible. If Rudolph has a very bright, glowing nose, he must have an unusually rich microvascular system, and he’s probably losing a ton of heat through his nose,” he said.

“So Rudolph, more than other reindeer, is probably risking his life by losing so much heat.” His suggestion? Skip the carrots on Christmas Eve and leave Rudolph some cookies instead. “One way to heat your body is to burn fuel. You do that by burning fat and calories,” he said. “Children should be aware of Rudolph’s condition and leave high-calorie foods for him.” Dominy’s paper, published by Frontiers for Young Minds, adds to Dartmouth’s special connection to the classic Christmas story. Rudolph first appeared in a 1939 book written by advertising copywriter and Dartmouth alumnus Robert L. May to drive traffic to Montgomery Ward department stores.

Inslee: Prison system error ‘maddening’ More than 3,000 inmates in the state are mistakenly freed early. By Rachel La Corte Associated Press
OLYMPIA — More than 3,000 prisoners in Washington have been mistakenly released early
since 2002 because of an error by the state’s Department of Corrections that resulted in wrongly calculated sentences for about 3 percent of the prison population. At a news conference announcing the error Tuesday, Gov. Jay Inslee said he has ordered immediate steps to correct the longstanding computer glitch. “Frankly, it is maddening,”
Inslee said. Authorities say a July 2002 state Supreme Court ruling required the Corrections Department to apply good-behavior credits earned in county jail to state prison sentences. However, the programming fix ended up giving prisoners with sentencing enhancements too much socalled good time credit.
Sentencing enhancements include additional time given for certain crimes, like those using firearms or those committed near schools. Under state law, prisoners who get extra time for sentencing enhancements cannot have that time reduced for good behavior. An analysis showed as many as 3,200 offenders were released
early, and another 3,100 who are still incarcerated had inaccurate release dates. Inslee’s general counsel, Nicholas Brown, said most of the errors were 100 days or less. In some cases, inmates were released just a few days early, but at least one person who is still See EARLY, Page A4

EVERETT — Two Snohomish County teens now are facing murder charges in adult court in connection with a Dec. 12 gangrelated shooting south of Everett. Guillermo Padilla and Edgar Calixto, both 16, were charged Monday with first-degree murder. The Snohomish County Superior Court charges accuse the pair of joining Diego Tavares, 19, in carrying out a shooting that ended the life of Anthony Camacho, 17. The trio allegedly were aiming for revenge when they attacked members of a rival gang who were partying south of Everett. Tavares was the shooter, Padilla provided him with the gun and Calixto drove, knowing that violence was planned, according to court papers. Tavares was charged last week. Because of the seriousness of the allegations, the cases against the 16-year-olds were moved this week from the juvenile system into the adult court. “The murder was apparently part of the ongoing violence between various gangs in south Everett,” deputy prosecutor Craig Matheson said in an affidavit filed along with the charges. Camacho was a student at ACES high school in the Mukilteo School District and only days away from turning 18. Police were summoned Dec. 12 by reports of gunfire, but they didn’t learn anyone had been hit until a car brought Camacho to Swedish Hospital in Mill Creek. He had been shot in the head and “was completely unresponsive and appeared near death,” Matheson said. His companions unloaded him from their car, placed him in a wheelchair, rolled him into the emergency room and then left. Security cameras caught it all, and a security guard was able to get the license plate number of the car to provide police.

Seattle ‘gun violence tax’ upheld; NRA suit dismissed By Gene Johnson Associated Press
SEATTLE — A judge upheld Seattle’s so-called gun violence tax Tuesday, rejecting a challenge from the National Rifle Association and other gun rights groups. King County Superior Court Judge Palmer Robinson dismissed arguments that Seattle’s tax, adopted last summer, exceeded the city’s authority under state law.

incarcerated had a release date that was off by about 600 days. Based on a prior Supreme Court ruling, most of the affected offenders won’t have to go back to prison. But officials have identified at least seven prisoners who were freed but haven’t reached their corrected release date yet, and they will need to return to prison. Five of them have already been re-incarcerated. The Department of Corrections was first alerted to the error in December 2012, when a victim’s family learned of a prisoner’s imminent release. The family did its own calculations and found he was being credited with too much time. A timeline provided by the governor’s office shows the agency consulted with attorneys regarding the error the same month and scheduled a fix for the program. However, the coding fix was repeatedly delayed, and the governor says he didn’t learn of the issue until last week, when corrections officials notified his staff. “For reasons we still don’t yet fully understand, that fix never happened,” Brown said. Corrections Department secretary Dan Pacholke, who took over as head of the agency in October and just learned of the error last week, also said he couldn’t yet explain what happened. “How that did not rise up in the agency to the highest levels is not clear to me,” he said. Brown said officials
expect it to raise up to $500,000 a year to help offset the costs of gun violence. The measure is set to take effect next month. “The NRA and its allies always oppose these commonsense steps to shine light on the gun violence epidemic,” said City Council President Tim Burgess, who sponsored the law. “Judge Robinson saw through the NRA’s distorted efforts to put gun industry profits ahead of public safety.” The NRA did not immediately respond to a call seeking comment, but another plaintiff, the Bellevue-based Second Amendment Foundation, promised an immediate appeal. The groups
don’t yet have a complete list of prisoners affected. The Corrections Department and governor’s office have not released the names of those inmates who have been sent back to prison, or the name of the family who alerted the agency to the problem. When asked if any of the prisoners who were released early committed additional crimes, Brown said, “We don’t have the answer to that.” Inslee told corrections officials to stop releasing prisoners affected by the glitch until a hand calculation is done to ensure the offender is being released on the correct date. A broad fix to the software problem is expected to be in place by early January. The governor said two retired federal prosecutors will conduct an independent investigation to figure out why it has taken so long to correct the problem. “I have a lot of questions about how and why this happened, and I understand that members of the public will have those same questions,” Inslee said. Pacholke said he welcomed the external investigation. “The agency should be held accountable for this breach,” he said. Republican state Sen. Mike Padden said the Law and Justice Committee he chairs will convene hearings on the early releases when the Legislature returns to the Capitol in early January. “We will see what we can find out about this and whether any of these individuals have committed crimes and what crimes they committed when they should have been in prison,” Padden said.

have argued state law puts responsibility for regulating firearms solely in the hands of the Legislature, not local governments. “It is unconscionable for Mayor Ed Murray and the City Council to codify what amounts to social bigotry against firearms retailers and their customers,” Second Amendment Foundation founder Alan Gottlieb said in a written statement. But the judge found the measure falls within the city’s taxing authority and is not an impermissible regulation. The City Council modeled the tax after a similar one in Cook
County, Illinois, which includes Chicago; the NRA has said Chicago is the only other city with such a measure. The revenue would be used for gun safety research and gun violence prevention programs. Between 2006 and 2010, there were on average 131 firearms deaths a year in King County, according to Public HealthSeattle and King County. An additional 536 people required hospitalization for shooting injuries during that time. Officials say the direct medical costs of treating 253 gunshot victims at Harborview Medical Center in 2014 totaled more than
$17 million. Taxpayers paid more than $12 million of that. City officials estimate the new tax would bring in $300,000 to $500,000 a year, but gun shop owners told council members those numbers were inflated. They said the law would cost them customers and sales and could force them to move out of the city. “Guns now kill more people in the United States than automobiles,” Seattle’s mayor said. “Our community will not stand by as so many in our city, particularly young people of color, continue to pay the highest price for inaction on gun violence at the national and state level.”
LOCAL BRIEFLY Man, 82, dies in crash
OAK HARBOR — One man died and three others were taken to the hospital after a five-car crash Tuesday morning on north Whidbey Island. The Washington State Patrol reported that Franz Pfister, 82, of Oak Harbor, died at the scene. The accident at Highway 20 and N. Jones Road was reported shortly after 9 a.m. Three other drivers — an Oak Harbor man, 80; a Burlington man, 88; and an Oak Harbor woman, 41 — were transported to Whidbey General Hospital for medical treatment.

He worked as a car salesman for a local dealership. “I lost two marriages, my house and car,” he said. Raised in Yakima, he spent years in the Wenatchee area. He worked as a roofer for his former father-inlaw, and later became a commercial truck driver. McClimans said he didn’t drive high, but would take long weekends and use drugs. For years, “I lived on a fence,” said McClimans, meaning he existed between the world of “dopers” and people who didn’t use. His lack of a criminal record is due more to luck than to law-abiding
behavior during his bad years. He once quit a good job because he knew he couldn’t pass a drug test. By 2011, his luck had run out. McClimans said he was on a Marysville street with nowhere to go when he ran into someone he knew from the Salvation Army in Everett. That man helped him get into the rehab center in Seattle.

Lee Eyre Baird, born October 5, 1955 in Cowley, Wyo., passed unexpectedly on the morning of Sunday, December 13, 2015 at his home in Darrington, Wash. Lee spent the majority of his life in Arlington, where he graduated from high school in 1974 and worked as a mechanic for over 30 years. Lee had two children, Cody (23) and Hannah (21), and a stepson, Curtis (34) whom he loved to no end. Lee spent the last year or so of his life working and living in Darrington, a place he grew to love, where he made friends with just about any person he met. Anyone who knew our dad will remember him as a kind, intelligent man with a clever sense of humor and an infinite love for his children and family. He loved to fish, hunt, play trivia, and watch sports; one of our favorite things to do was to go to watch the Mariners on Father’s Day.

James Marion Hawkins (Jim) was born in Sacramento, Calif. to Violet and Howell Hawkins on April 29, 1929. He grew up in Napa, Calif. A t t h e a g e o f 17 , h e e n l i s t e d i n t h e A r my A i r Corps and became a c r i m i n a l i nve s t i g a to r. H e retired from the military in 1967 af ter 22 years of service. In 1968 Jim began his second career as Chief Sky Marshal with the U.S. Customs Service and retired as a Special Agent in 1989. Both careers took him and his family to many faraway places. In 1976, Jim met Dottie in the cafeteria at work and they were married on Januar y 7, 1977. In 1998 they retired to Camano Island, Wash. Jim died peacefully at his home on Camano on December 15, 2015. Jim loved boating and RVing, traveling to Europe and England, snowbirding to Arizona to soak up the sun, and enjoyed Mariners spring training. He was an expert on WWII history and was our go-to guy for family genealogy. Woodworking and metal detecting were some of his hobbies. He could fix or build most anything. We, his family, honor his memory, the things he stood fo r, a n d t h e l ove h e l e f t behind. Jim is survived by Dottie, his wife of 39 years; children, Marc (Kerr y), Val (Kim), Cassie (Bud), Blair (Dawn); stepsons, Bob (Deeann), Mike (Anne), and Tim (Katy); 14 grandchildren and 10+ great-grandchildren. Jim was buried with full militar y honors at Tahoma National Cemeter y. A Memorial Service will be held at a later date.

Topsy-turvey holiday weather in U.S. By Gene Johnson Associated Press
SEATTLE — A weather pattern partly linked with El Nino has turned winter upsidedown across the U.S. during a week of heavy holiday travel, bringing spring-like warmth to the Northeast, a risk of tornadoes in the South and so much snow across the West that even ski slopes have been overwhelmed. In a reversal of a typical Christmas, forecasters expect New York to be in the mid-60s on the holiday — several degrees higher than Los Angeles. The mild conditions have helped golf courses in New England do brisk business, but the pattern comes at a steep cost for ski resorts that have closed and for backcountry skiers who confront avalanche risks. And many Americans complain that it just doesn’t feel like the holidays without a chill in the air. “It’s been a great snow season so far from the Rockies to the higher elevations in the Cascades and the northern Sierras, and it’s been the total opposite on the East Coast,” said Bob Oravec, lead forecaster with the National Weather Service. Big parts of the country are basking in above-average temperatures, especially east of the Mississippi and across the Northern Plains. Record warmth was expected on Christmas Eve along the East Coast, Oravec said. He laid the credit — or blame
ELAINE THOMPSON / ASSOCIATED PRESS
A car topped with snow drives down an onramp and past trucks stopped to remove chains after making the drive over Snoqualmie Pass on Tuesday. A weather pattern that could be associated with El Nino has turned winter upside-down across the U.S. during a week of heavy holiday travel.
— on a strong El Nino pattern, the warming of surface waters in the Pacific Ocean near the equator. That’s helped drive warm air west to east across the Lower 48 and kept colder air from the Arctic at bay, he said. In the Pacific Northwest and California, the effects of El Nino haven’t really hit yet. They’re typically seen in January through March, and the heavy rains and snows in the region are probably not linked to the phenomenon, said Washington state climatologist Nick Bond. The winter in the Pacific Northwest is still predicted to be drier than normal, he said. In Washington, authorities have closed I-90 over the Cascades repeatedly this week due to heavy snows and avalanche danger. On Sunday, a
heavy storm closed Oregon’s Mount Ashland Ski Area when it knocked out power. California is in its driest four-year span on record, and experts anticipate a possible fifth year of drought. Weather forecasters say a strong El Nino weather system could drench the state, but one good, wet winter won’t be enough to rehydrate the parched land. Meanwhile, weather forecasters warned of serious avalanche risks. An avalanche near the Montana-Wyoming state line on Sunday buried three snowmobilers, killing a 33-year-old North Dakota man. Another avalanche partially buried a ski patrol employee at the Snowbasin resort, about 45 miles north of Salt Lake City, and two snowboarders were caught in a
backcountry slide southwest of Breckenridge Ski Area on Saturday. They escaped serious injury. Elsewhere, severe thunderstorms and possible tornadoes were forecast for Wednesday in Arkansas, northern Alabama, northern Mississippi and western Tennessee. Tornadoes are not unheard-of in the region in late December, but the extreme weather, driven by warm temperatures and large amounts of moisture in the atmosphere, was nonetheless striking, said Jeff Masters, director of meteorology at Weather Underground. In addition to El Nino, a weather pattern called the North Atlantic Oscillation is also helping keep cold air bottled up in the Arctic.
Bergdahl arraigned at N.C. Army base By Jonathan Drew Associated Press
FORT BRAGG, N.C. — Wearing a dress blue uniform, Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl faced a military judge Tuesday for the first time since the U.S. Army decided to proceed with a military trial that could result in a life sentence for his disappearance in Afghanistan in 2009. Bergdahl, who was held by the Taliban for five years after he walked off a base, was arraigned during a short hearing on charges of desertion and misbehavior before the enemy, a relatively rare charge that carries the severe punishment. If convicted of desertion, he could get up to five years in prison. Bergdahl deferred entering
a plea and did not decide whether he wants to face a court-martial with a jury or one with just a judge. He said little beyond answering “yes” and “no” to questions about whether he understood his rights and the court proceedings. The next pretrial hearing was scheduled for Jan. 12 before Army Judge Col. Jeffery R. Nance, who will preside over future hearings. Bergdahl, 29, of Hailey, Idaho, walked off his post in eastern Afghanistan’s Paktika province on June 30, 2009. He was released in late May 2014 as part of a prisoner swap, in exchange for five detainees in Guantanamo Bay. The move prompted harsh criticism, with some in Congress accusing
President Barack Obama of jeopardizing the safety of the country with the exchange. A preliminary hearing officer initially recommended a special court-martial, which is a misdemeanor-level forum. But earlier this month, the Army announced Bergdahl would face the more serious general court-martial. The charge of misbehavior before the enemy was used hundreds of times during World War II, but scholars say its use appears to have dwindled in conflicts since then. Legal databases and media accounts turn up only a few misbehavior cases since 2001, when fighting began in Afghanistan, followed by Iraq less than two years later. In contrast, statistics show the
U.S. Army prosecuted about 1,900 desertion cases between 2001 and the end of 2014. Bergdahl hasn’t talked publicly about what happened, but over the past several months, he spoke extensively with screenwriter Mark Boal, who shared about 25 hours of the recorded interviews with Sarah Koenig for her popular podcast, “Serial.” In the first episode of “Serial,” Bergdahl said he walked off his base to cause a crisis that would catch the attention of military brass. He wanted to warn them about what he believed were serious problems with leadership in his unit. And he wanted to prove himself as a real-life action hero, like someone out of a movie.
Trump mocks Clinton with crude language Associated Press WASHINGTON — Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump labeled Democrat Hillary Clinton “disgusting” for using the restroom during a commercial break at the last Democratic debate and used crude language to describe her primary loss to now-President Barack Obama in 2008. “She was favored to win and she got schlonged, she lost,” he said on Monday night, using a slang word for male genitalia. Trump, who has ramped up his criticism of Clinton in recent weeks, also mocked Clinton for returning late to Saturday’s debate following a commercial break because she’d been using the bathroom. “What happened to her? I’m watching the debate, and she disappeared. Where did she go?!” Trump said at the rally at the DeltaPlex Arena in Grand Rapids, Michigan. “I know where she went. It’s disgusting, I don’t want to talk about it,” he added. “No, it’s too disgusting. Don’t say it, it’s disgusting.” This isn’t the first time Trump has used what could be interpreted as gendered language to criticize Clinton. He has repeatedly described

her as lacking the strength and stamina to be president and invoked the image of her putting on a pantsuit before heading to work. But the latest remarks appear to have hit a new nerve. After declining to comment Monday evening, Clinton spokeswoman Jennifer Palmieri took to Twitter to label the language “degrading.” “We are not responding to Trump, but everyone who understands the humiliation this degrading language inflicts on all women should,” Palmieri said on Twitter, concluding with the hashtag “imwithher.”
The latest rift between Clinton and Trump began during Saturday evening’s debate. Clinton claimed the Islamic State group had used videos of Trump’s comments about Muslims to recruit militants. There was no evidence to back the claim, and Trump quickly called Clinton a liar and demanded an apology. Some of Trump’s critics have leveled similar criticism at him. Many Republican leaders fear Trump’s incendiary rhetoric would make him unelectable in a general election against Clinton, who is widely favored over two rivals for the
Democratic nomination. Trump continues to the lead the Republican field going into the new year — a development that has stunned the political world and deeply divided the Republican party. Clinton appeared Tuesday in Keota, Iowa, a small rural town where three high school students launched an energetic campaign to get Clinton to visit their school. Clinton entered the packed high school gymnasium to huge cheers. During her remarks, Clinton stressed the differences between Republicans and Democrats in the field. She decried Trump’s rhetoric on Muslims, saying it was “not only dangerous, it’s shameful.” She said that kind of talk plays in to the hands of violent jihadists. Clinton did not reference Trump’s latest comments on her 2008 presidential bid, but she made a veiled reference to his campaign when a student asked her about combatting bullying. Advocating for more “love and kindness” Clinton added: “That’s why it’s important to stand up to bullies wherever we are and why we shouldn’t let anybody bully his way into the presidency. Because that is not who we are as Americans.”
ACROSS THE U.S.
Driver charged with murder in Las Vegas LAS VEGAS — Prosecutors on Tuesday charged a homeless woman with murder, child abuse and hit-and-run after police said she intentionally plowed a car carrying her young daughter through crowds of pedestrians on the Las Vegas Strip on Sunday. Additional charges were expected against Lakeisha Nicole Holloway, 24. “This is an ongoing investigation,” said Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson, who earlier predicted “a great number” of charges would be filed. Holloway is expected to make her first appearance before a judge Wednesday. One person was killed and at least 35 others were injured.
Ky.: Gay marriage licenses Gov. Matt Bevin ordered the state to prepare new marriage licenses that do not include the names of county clerks in an attempt to protect the religious beliefs of clerk Kim Davis and other local elected officials. The executive order comes after Davis, the Rowan County clerk, spent five days in jail for refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. Davis said she could not issue the licenses because they had her name on them. Bevin said wanted to “ensure that the sincerely held religious beliefs of all Kentuckians are honored.”
Calif.: Fugitive heir Fugitive real estate heir Robert Durst has agreed to be extradited from Louisiana to Los Angeles by mid-August to face a murder charge, prosecutors said Tuesday. The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office jointly filed an agreement with Durst and his lawyers for his return by Aug. 18. Durst had previously waived extradition. Durst, an estranged member of the family that runs 1 World Trade Center in New York, faces a murder trial in Los Angeles in the death of his friend and onetime spokeswoman Susan Berman. A weapons charge has kept Durst jailed in Louisiana since March.
N.D.: Population leader North Dakota is again leading the nation in population growth, and the number of residents in the state is at an all-time high, according to figures released Tuesday by the U.S. Census Bureau. The bureau’s most recent estimate put the state population at 756,927 in July. The increase is largely driven by people in search of jobs in oil-rich western North Dakota. The state was followed by Colorado, the District of Columbia, Nevada, Florida and Texas, according to the new census data. Seven states lost population this year, including West Virginia, Illinois and Vermont.
AROUND THE WORLD Afghanistan: Brits deploy British troops are being sent to help the Afghan army maintain control of a strategically important district. The announcement that British soldiers are being dispatched to Helmand Province came hours after a Taliban suicide bomber killed six U.S. troops near a major military base in the deadliest single attack on American troops in the country since 2013. A British Ministry of Defense statement late Monday said “a small number of U.K. personnel” were being sent to Helmand in “an advisory role.” The U.K. has 450 troops in Afghanistan as part of NATO’s training mission.
Burundi: Rights abuses A human rights group said independent experts should investigate Burundi’s forces for alleged human rights violations, including extra-judicial executions, rape and looting in the unrest over President Pierre Nkurunziza’s extended tenure. Amnesty International called Tuesday for investigations as Burundi’s top security body rejected the African Union’s plan to deploy peacekeepers to prevent the violence from escalating.
France: Jihadi attack foiled French authorities said they thwarted a jihadi attack last week near the central city of Orleans. Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said Tuesday the planned attack targeted “soldiers, police and representatives of the state,” and that two French citizens aged 20 and 24 were arrested Dec. 19. Cazeneuve said this brings the total number of foiled attacks in France to 10 since 2013. From Herald news services

Boeing fined $12M for safety issues By Joan Lowy Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Boeing has agreed to pay $12 million for failing to meet a deadline to submit service instructions that would enable airlines to reduce the risk of fuel tank explosions on hundreds of planes, among other violations, the Federal Aviation Administration said Tuesday. Boeing must also take a series of actions to improve the safety certification of its planes and its aircraft production quality control, the FAA said in a statement. The settlement is the second largest for regulatory violations in the history of the FAA. “It is imperative that everyone complies with our aviation system’s high safety standards,” said Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx. Boeing said in a statement that the fine “fairly” addresses the matter. “As a company we take responsibility for our actions, and we will never compromise on our commitment to quality and compliance,” the statement said. The fuel tank instructions are part of an effort to address problems that caused a Boeing 747

since 1961, when this part of the valley was mainly a warren of sand-and-gravel quarries and garbage dumps. By New Year’s Eve, he promises, it will be 26 acres of bare land surrounded largely by warehouses and car-repair places as he contemplates what to do next with the property. “You need to make money to survive, and it’s gotten harder to make money in the junk business,” the affable 60-year-old says as he walks past thousands of automobiles piled four and five high, each destined for the giant car-crushing machine that will noisily squash them into scrap metal. The Chinese aren’t buying that scrap like they once did,
he explains, causing the price to plummet while his minimum-wage and insurance costs continue to rise. More than 200 movies, TV shows, commercials, video games and music videos have been filmed at Aadlen Brothers over the years. But Adlen says that Hollywood cash isn’t enough these days to subsidize a business that for decades was also the go-to place for seemingly every shade-tree mechanic in the San Fernando Valley looking to dress up his ride with a cheap turbocharger, a shiny grill or chrome wheels pulled off everything from wrecked Rolls-Royces to VW bugs. “My father and I, we would
roam around that place forever,” recalls Tommy Gelinas, curator of the San Fernando Valley Relics Museum, who customized his first car, a 1968 Dodge Dart, with used parts from Aadlen Brothers. “But it wasn’t just a junkyard,” Gelinas continues. “It was an adventure because there was so much stuff, old cars, movie memorabilia.” The yard began showing up in films in 1967, when a scene shot at its trailer office made it into the movie “In Cold Blood.” “It’s only six seconds in the movie,” Adlen recalls with a chuckle, but those seconds were enough to make the company’s founding Adlen brothers realize they had a future in show business. (After starting the business, Adlen’s father and uncle added the extra A to the name to get it listed first in the phone book.) Over the years, the lot has appeared briefly in “The Hangover,” “The Fall Guy,” “The A-Team,” “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” and countless other shows. Just last month a “Supergirl” episode had the Girl of Steel battling the villain Reactron near the carcrushing machine. Soon there will be nothing left to film. The “RoboCop 3” car has already headed out the door, followed by two of the armored vehicles from the film “Universal Soldier.” (Up close, they look more like giant trash trucks.) See JUNK, Page A8
CDC: Costco chicken E. coli outbreak over The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — Federal health officials said Tuesday that an outbreak of deadly E. coli bacteria linked to Costco rotisserie chicken that sickened 19 people in seven states, mostly in the west, appears to be over. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said five people were hospitalized and two developed a type of kidney failure, a severe complication
U.S. imposes more sanctions against Russia WASHINGTON — The Obama administration Tuesday imposed financial restrictions on 34 additional people and entities for helping Russian and Ukrainian companies evade U.S. penalties and other infractions, prompting threats of retaliation from the Kremlin. The action helps “maintain the efficacy of existing sanctions” established after Russia’s annexation of the Crimean peninsula last year and support for eastern Ukrainian separatists, the Treasury Department said.
Curtains for Hollywood’s favorite junkyard LOS ANGELES — It’s not just a junkyard — or even a really big junkyard — but a living, breathing monument to Los Angeles pop culture. And now it’s headed for the dustbin of history itself. For 54 years, Aadlen Brothers Auto Wrecking, in a moonscaped, god-forsaken-looking section of the San Fernando Valley, has collected far more than thousands of burned-out, smashed-up, rusted automobiles on its sprawling dirt and asphalt lot. It’s also taken in just about every type of movie and TV prop imaginable while serving as the site of more than 200 Hollywood film shoots. The last surviving “Bruce” the shark, made from the mold for the 1975 Steven Spielberg film “Jaws,” resides there, swimming ominously near an entrance. With its huge mouth agape, it appears ready to devour anyone foolish enough to try to sneak off the lot with, say, a pilfered power train from a ‘32 Ford. Nearby is the giant boom box Usher danced on for the 1997 video “My Way.” It’s actually a 53-foot-long big-rig trailer painted to look like the ‘80s-era music machine. But viewed from a nearby freeway, it appears eerily authentic. Now everything must go, says Nathan Adlen, owner of this hybrid junkyard-Hollywood backlot that’s been in his family

from infection with this particular strain of E. coli, known as E. coli O157:H7 . No deaths were reported, officials said Tuesday. The evidence collected during the federal health investigation suggested that rotisserie chicken salad made and sold in Costco Wholesale stores in several states was the likely source of this outbreak. Fourteen of 16 people purchased or ate rotisserie chicken salad from Costco in the week before illness started.

`Fireball’ lawsuit Heated competition between producers of cinnamon whiskeys has cooled off in the courtroom, with Sazerac dropping its lawsuit Monday against Jack Daniel’s.

The burger chain began testing mac and cheese at 18 locations in northeast Ohio late last week, according to spokeswoman Lisa McComb.

Starbucks windfall Starbucks says that more than $25 billion has been loaded onto its gift cards since they were launched a decade and a half ago. One-fifth of that amount was loaded onto Starbucks cards just in the fiscal year ended in October, which points to a big acceleration in recent years. And that snowball is still rolling, with Starbucks saying that it’s on track for “another record performance” in gift card sales this holiday season. From Herald news services

Make alcohol zone mandatory products whose sale would be barred. Where a traditional lager such as Budweiser is about 5 percent alcohol, the beverages that most alcohol impact areas seek to address are in the range of 7 percent and higher. But the decision in Everett to limit the sale of the beverages was left up to individual stores. Voluntary compliance hasn’t been an overwhelming success. An Everett Police official reported to the city council last week that only 15 percent of the affected retailers complied with the ordinance, making it all but impossible to judge whether the impact areas were having any effect in reducing problems. The Everett City Council is expected to have a first reading of an ordinance this evening that would request the state Liquor and Cannabis Board to make Everett’s impact areas
mandatory. Action could follow at the council’s final meeting of the year on Dec. 30. Judging by the experience of other cities in Washington state, Everett should seek to require the sales restrictions. Seattle, which established alcohol impact areas in late 2006 in its central core, including Pioneer Square, and in the Wallingford neighborhood, saw a 35 percent drop between 2003 and 2008 in the number of police calls regarding drinking in public, and a 31 percent decrease in aid calls for a “person down,” according to a 2009 study by Washington State University’s Social and Economic Sciences Research Center. The study also found modest increases in the opinions of residents and retailers in the areas reporting perceived improvements in those neighborhoods, including decreased panhandling,
fewer litter problems and an increase in public safety. More recently, a study in 2014 of Spokane’s alcohol impact area found that after its restrictions went into effect in 2012, liquor violations decreased by 83 percent in 2013-14 and detox calls declined 53 percent. There’s a reasonable concern that the zones could push the problems into areas that border them. A WSU study of Tacoma’s impact areas found that while alcohol-related complaints fell within the area by 36 percent, they increased 10 percent just outside the impact area. But the Seattle study found the opposite, that police service calls inside and outside the impact areas fell at similar rates. Alcoholism is a disease. Limiting the easiest access to beverages that feed a disease of addiction is a reasonable response for a community.
gear and sent on their merry way and get some healthful walking in like the old days. Bicycles could be used exclusively because every bus has bike racks. Just think of the money that could be saved by incorporating this method of meter reading.
accidents trends downward, that line on the graph meets a rise in the death rate from firearms. (Dec. 18 article, “Guns now kill as many people as cars in U.S.”) Also, two-thirds of firearms-related fatalities are suicide. Now begins the vitriolic cascade from over-zealous gun owners and their pandering, conservative patrons in elected office: blame the liberal media bias, enforce the laws already on the books, the Second Amendment is sacrosanct, only the outlaws will have guns, etc. And let’s not forget to blame Obama, of course. Let’s just set all that aside for a moment.
If you are a gun owner, please ask yourself, “why?” Are you worried about drug addicts breaking into your house? They’re usually in such bad shape already that they’d scarcely be able to defend themselves from a 5-iron, let alone five bullets to the chest. Violence invariably perpetuates more violence. The morbid exception to that cycle would be: suicide. Bad idea, bad choice. You’re perfectly within your rights to own a gun, of course. I choose not to own a gun, thank you.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■SNOCO PUD
Save money with meter reader plan Talk about a waste of ratepayer money! The Snohomish County PUD provides each of its meter readers a pick-up and a bicycle to read the meters of houses 20 feet apart. I watch as the meter readers drive from one house to the other getting in and out of their truck after backing into each and every driveway. The time spent just with getting in and out of the vehicle must amount to a great deal. I asked a meter reader why they needed either he responded, “The pick-up was needed because it was the fastest way to get the job done.” When I asked about using the bicycle he responded, “I’m not going to ride in this weather!” (It was a cloudy day.) I remember how PGE in Portland handled this situation: They gave their meter readers bus fare and sent them to their designated areas to do their job. I also remember being an Everett Herald carrier delivering heavy newspapers on foot, without rain gear in all kinds of weather. I’m pretty sure the PUD supplies rain gear to its employees who have to work outside. Now, I can understand why vehicles are needed for rural areas but I don’t understand why meter readers couldn’t be give an ORCA card and rain

COMMENTARY | Christmas in D.C.
If they make the ‘nice’ list, some gift ideas By Jennifer Rubin The Washington Post
G
etting into the Christmas spirit, we thought we would pick out gifts for some prominent people, so here goes: For Donald Trump, finding something for the man who has or can buy anything is a challenge. Nevertheless, he plainly does not have a copy of the U.S. Constitution, so let’s get him either that or a life-size cutout of Russian President Vladimir Putin. For Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, we will look for a time machine that allows him to go back to 2013 to edit all his prior votes, statements and interviews concerning legalization of 11 million people here illegally so that his record aligns with his present version of events. For House Speaker Paul Ryan, some noise-cancelling headphones might help. He’ll
need to screen out all the political noise and nonsense as he embarks on a conservative reform agenda next year. USA Today reported, “When Congress returns in January, Ryan said he expects quick work on criminal justice reform and legislation to improve screening of Syrian refugees. He also mentioned consideration of a new resolution to authorize the use of military force against the jihadist Islamic State, and proposals to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act.” To achieve those items plus a tax reform plan, he surely will need whatever help he can get to prevent distraction. For our magnificent military whose needs are so great and varied, it’s hard to know where to start. Cash, lots of it over the next 10 years or so in this case, is always good in such circumstances. Most vital, however, is a commander in chief who supports them and
pursues military objectives with determination. For Mike Huckabee, Carly Fiorina, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Kentucky, Rick Santorum and George Pataki, a one-way ticket home from Iowa on Feb. 2, the day after the caucus, will come in handy. Likewise, Ohio Gov. John Kasich could use a ticket home to Ohio right after the New Hampshire primary. For Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Florida, a police radar detector for his car would have come in handy a few years back. For now, maybe some first-round draft picks for his beloved, hapless Miami Dolphins. For every member of Congress and all GOP candidates, a copy of “The Conservative Heart” by Arthur Brooks, the most important conservative book written in years. For the Republican National Committee, Christmas came early with another exhibition

IN OUR VIEW | Everett City Streets Initiative
Among the scores of solutions outlined as part of the Everett Community Streets Initiative that are being implemented and given further study was the creation of alcohol impact areas within the city that would limit the sale of beverages that sell the punch of high alcohol content at low cost. The single-serving bottles and cans of alcoholic drinks, with names such as Colt 45 High Gravity, Joose and Old English 800, are seen as contributing to the problems of addiction and alcoholism among the city’s homeless population and others. In turn, the city has had to deal with public inebriation, medical calls, littering, criminal mischief and theft.

of confusion and ham-handedness from its rival, the Democratic National Committee. Open warfare broke out between the campaign of Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont, accused of snatching Hillary Clinton’s voter data and the DNC, which briefly denied Sanders access to voter information. (The Post reported, “In early Saturday morning statements, both parties relayed that the DNC — facing a federal lawsuit from the Sanders camp — had agreed to end its suspension of the campaign’s access to key voter information contained in a DNC-controlled database, including data the Sanders campaign had gathered about its own supporters.”) The best gift the RNC could hope for is another year of Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Florida, at the helm of the DNC. Jennifer Rubin is a Washington Post columnist.
Calling a truce to count our many blessings
T
oday, on the cusp of Christmas, I can’t find it in my bleeding heart to produce a typical rant, despite the
need. After all, as I understood it in the mondegreen fields of my early youth, all I need to do to be jolly is to ‘tis the season. So, ‘tis I will. Fa la la: when someone wishes me Happy Holidays, whether SID SCHWAB a store employee or otherwise, I take I served in a no offense. Same with war; I know Merry Christsomething mas. I served in a war; I about what know somewar looks thing about what war like, and, looks like, and, folks, folks, there there ain’t ain’t no war no war on Christmas. on Christmas. It’s business as business: they get to decide their greetings, you get to decide yours. Let’s all be happy about that. Speaking of happy, for the last year and a half my wife and I have been enjoying a new kid on a block in Portland, our grandson, who, blessed with two fabulous parents and a passel of doting grandfolk, aunts and uncles, happens to be (no offense, but I remain committed to the truth) the cutest little guy there ever was. Since he became bipedal, he’s a nonstop doer of very important stuff, all over the house. And, as I’d been hoping, he’s becoming pals with the family dog, a predictably loveable chocolate Lab. Nothing makes me happier than our more or less monthly trips down I-5 to watch that family happen. A nephew is there, too, and they make for a tight group of good people. Not a hater or excluder among them. Happy, they are, to live their lives and let others live theirs. Notwithstanding the frightening popularity of Trump/ Cruz style proto-totalitarian mongering of fear, hate, resentment and war, it gives me a little hope. And I’m happy to have been grandfathered into the era of video chatting, when we’re not there. Unhappily, that big storm blew the top half of our venerable cedar tree onto our house, punching several branches through the roof and into the living space, turning a glass door into shards as it blasted into the room, along with the frame within which it formerly stood. Launched it, really: it flew several feet before ending up where it did, me sitting one room away. Happily, our insurance company found a crew to remove the tree in a hurry, allowing me to board up the hole where the door used to be. Unlike Sarah Palin, I appreciate people with expertise in their jobs. (I don’t include my hole-covering skills in that observation, although the guy at the lumber place who cut the plywood to my erroneous specifications was pretty cool, busy as he was the day after.) We found it possible to live without power, TV, phone and Internet for three days. (Well, not entirely: I hit Starbucks a few times for coffee and Wi-Fi.) Going to bed when it gets dark has an upside, turns out. And it appears that with some science-based trimming the tree might survive. Pretty it might not be for a decade or two, but alive; which is a good thing because I think its roots encourage our bluff to stay where it belongs. Our neighbors were concerned enough to check on us when it all went down. Having good neighbors makes for good feelings. One of them, an Everett cop, has enough goodness in him single-handedly to counter at least a dozen of the stories we’ve heard of bad police behavior around the country. It’s a job I wouldn’t want; I’m grateful there are those that do. Now that we’ve had time to observe, let’s recognize that same-sex weddings don’t threaten our own marriages; let’s recall our immigrant roots, and the ways people of all faiths, and of none, have made this country great, even teachers and scientists. And, living through the dark days of Northwest winters, let’s rejoice in the knowledge that solar panels haven’t sucked all the energy out of the sun! (The Independent: tinyurl.com/redstatescience) So, Merry Christmas and well-seasoned greetings to all. May we manage, through our faiths or in spite of some versions of them, or simply by the empathy-derived golden rule, to let go of hate and fear of “the other,” if only until the new year.

Leaky seal stymies next Mars mission
Nimitz From Page A1
Rather than send the carrier to Everett for a short period of time, the Navy determined that it was easier on sailors and their families to just keep the ship in Bremerton until its upgrades are complete. “Naturally, we are disappointed that the USS Nimitz will not be returning to Everett in June,” Everett Mayor Ray Stephanson said in a statement. “However, we understand and support the Navy’s response to the carrier’s long-term maintenance needs.” The Nimitz’s departure coincided with a number of changes at Naval Station Everett. The Navy has decommissioned its last Oliver Hazard Perryclass frigates, three of which had been stationed here. The Ford was decommissioned in 2013, the Ingraham in November 2014 and the Rodney M. Davis on Jan. 23. The Ingraham and Ford were towed to Bremerton to be dismantled. The Davis, along with other ships of its class, is scheduled for sale to a foreign navy. Replacing the frigates in Everett will be three Arleigh Burkeclass guided missile destroyers, which the Navy announced would arrive in Everett in 2016. The USS Gridley, USS Sampson and USS Kidd would join the destroyers USS Momsen and USS Shoup in Everett. Each of the ships has a complement of about 300 crew each. The Nimitz first arrived in Everett in March 2012, replacing the carrier USS Abraham Lincoln. The Lincoln left Everett in December 2011 for long-term refueling and maintenance at the shipyards at Newport News, Virginia. The Navy has not made any announcements about the carrier’s future.

chances of launching missions between Earth and Mars occur for just a few weeks every 26 months.
“We’re close enough to launch but unfortunately we don’t have enough time to try to identify the
leak, fix it and recover and still make it to the launch pad in March,” said John Grunsfeld, NASA’s science mission chief. The goal of the mission was to explore the interior core, mantle and crust of Mars in a way that no other planet has been studied outside of Earth. So far, $525 million has spent on the $675 million mission. “We know the interior of Earth and its structure very well, but of the other planets, Mars is our only hope to make those kinds of measurements,” said Jim Green, director of NASA’s Planetary Science Division. NASA managers said it could take several months of analysis and discussion before they decide how to proceed. A redesign of the part could make the 2018 opportunity unlikely since
Guy Palumbo also hopes to get the nomination, but said he’s glad to see Dunshee’s interest. A Maltby-area resident, Palumbo serves on the county planning commission and the Fire District 7 board. “Hans is a good person who clearly cares a lot about Snohomish County,” Palumbo said. “Whoever gets the appointment, the county is going to be in good hands.” Snohomish Mayor Karen Guzak had considered the appointment as well, but now intends to lend her support to Dunshee. Guzak could still round out the trio of nominees, even if she’s endorsing someone else. “I yield to Hans,” she
said. “I think he’ll be terrific. I’m looking forward to four more years here in Snohomish and I’d like to be mayor again.” State Sen. Steve Hobbs of Lake Stevens also has been mentioned as a possible contender, but he’s said to be more interested in running for lieutenant governor in 2016. Whoever gets the appointment will have to run next November — and win — to serve out 2017, the final year of Somers’ council term. Lake Stevens City Councilman Sam Low, a Republican, has filed with the state Public Disclosure Commission to start raising money for that race. Low is a business owner and
chairman of the county’s Board of Health. Dunshee, 62, served in the state House from 1992 to 1994, and again from 1996 to the present. He represents the 44th Legislative District, which in its current configuration includes Mill Creek, Snohomish, Lake Stevens and Snohomish, plus surrounding areas. In the past, his district has included the areas of Monroe, Sultan and Gold Bar. In the state House, Dunshee cited recent work to secure state funding for Washington State University’s expansion in Everett and a new boat ramp in Snohomish. He’s been a past member of the county planning commission and the
county Charter Review Commission. If Dunshee were to succeed Somers, it could trigger an interesting chain of events. Lovick hopes to continue in politics after he steps down as county executive. Before becoming county sheriff, a position he held before becoming executive, he served nine years in the state House representing the 44th District. “I’ve given it some serious consideration,” Lovick said. “It’s something that I’d be interested in, but obviously we have to see how it plays out.” Noah Haglund: 425339-3465; nhaglund@ heraldnet.com. Twitter: @ NWhaglund.
Highway 9, Carousel fit the bill. Future amenities at the property are likely to include fields for youth soccer, football and lacrosse, Bosanko said. Walking trails could connect to three miles of existing trails on the Brightwater grounds. The developed area would cover about 25 acres of the 65-acre site. Other elements, such as a dog park or a children’s spray pad, would depend on available space and what county staff hear from the public. “It’s a little hilly, so we’ll probably do some kind of
tiered build-out,” Bosanko said. The new parkland touches the Eastside Rail Corridor. County staff had been negotiating to buy a 12-mile segment of the corridor that runs between the city of Snohomish and Woodinville for $5 million, but put negotiations on hold this past spring. Complications include ownership issues in some areas as well as problems with accommodating rail along with foot and bike traffic over some bridges. The county had hoped to use the corridor to connect its Centennial Trail to King County’s Sammamish
River and Burke Gilman trails. Freight operations would continue. The Port of Seattle owns the rail corridor and has sold off other pieces between Woodinville and Renton. The Carousel purchase will replace the Wellington Hills property the county bought from the University of Washington in 2012. The county started planning for a park on the former golf course, but faced strong opposition from neighbors. At more than 100 acres, Wellington provided more space than Carousel. It sits at 6920 240th St. SE, east of the Woodinville Costco.
A sale of the Wellington property to the Northshore School District is pending. The district is looking for space to build new schools for its growing student population. The $11.2 million price Northshore is willing to pay would cover what Snohomish County spent to buy the land plus the cost of design and engineering reports. A condition of the sale is resolving a lawsuit that Woodinville filed against Snohomish County over the park plans. Noah Haglund: 425339-3465; nhaglund@ heraldnet.com. Twitter: @ NWhaglund.
Associated Press
ORLANDO, Fla. — NASA is calling off its next mission to Mars because there isn’t enough time to fix a leaky seal on a key science instrument. The InSight spacecraft was set for launch in March. The problem is with a protective pouch around the lander’s seismometer, which was designed to measure ground movement on the red planet. NASA managers and French designers of the instrument said Tuesday they must now decide whether the pouch’s vacuum seal needs to be repaired, redesigned or the mission scrapped. The next opportunity to launch the InSight lander is in May 2018 since the best

Because Somers is a Democrat and has an unexpired council term, the county Democratic Party must nominate three candidates to replace him. The party hopes to convene precinct committee offers to vote on nominations during the first week in February, said Richard Wright, the chairman of the county party and husband of County Councilwoman Stephanie Wright. The County Council gets to pick from among the party’s nominees. The job pays $111,000 per year.

their longtime home on the property and pay rent. Parties to the sale include companies run by the family. Money for the purchase comes from a $70 million settlement that Snohomish County reached with King County in 2005 over the effects from Brightwater. Snohomish County must use some of the money to build a park within four miles of the treatment plant. Immediately north, at 21815

it could take up to five years. NASA officials said the delay of the InSight mission wouldn’t affect the schedule of any other missions to Mars. The three sensors on the seismometer need a vacuum seal around them to withstand the harsh, frigid Martian environment. Leaks had showed up during previous tests and mission team members thought the problem had been fixed. But the latest tests this week showed another leak of unknown origin. The spacecraft was delivered to Vandenberg Air Force Base in California last week in anticipation of a launch. It will be sent back to Lockheed Martin’s plant in Denver. It would have landed on Mars six months after launch.

Background: This ordinance is part of the County’s compliance with the 2013-2018 Phase I National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit (“Permit”) issued to the County by the Washington State Department of Ecology in compliance with the federal Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. § 1251 et seq.) and chapter 90.48 RCW. The ordinance adds, deletes and amends several sections of the County drainage code in chapter 30.63A SCC in response to requirements contained in the Permit. The ordinance also repeals chapter 30.63C SCC relating to low impact development (LID), replacing optional standards with the requirement to use LID stormwater management techniques whenever feasible. Many of the proposed code amendments are minor or housekeeping in nature to update code citations. In addition, this ordinance deletes references to best management practices (BMPs) and adds cross references to the Snohomish County Drainage Manual (“Drainage Manual”) where these BMP provisions and requirements have been relocated. A summary of the proposed ordinance follows: Sections 1-2. Adopt recitals, findings of fact, and conclusions, and states the Council bases its findings and conclusions on the entire record of the Council. Section 3. Amends SCC 30.63A.010 to clarify that the purpose of the chapter is to regulate stormwater discharges from all new development and redevelopment to prevent and control adverse impacts of drainage and stormwater on the public health, safety, and general welfare, consistent with the provisions of the Federal Clean Water Act; and to require the use of LID BMPs where feasible, as defined in the Drainage Manual. Section 4. Amends SCC 30.63A.100 to update citations to the code chapters, manuals and standards that constitute the county’s stormwater regulations. Section 5.

Happy Birthday: Changes must be brought about for the right reasons. Ulterior motives and emotional deception will cloud your vision. Stick to what you know and try to make the most of what you have to offer. Let your skills and your genuine desire to help others be your calling card. Your numbers are 1, 6, 14, 22, 25, 34, 48. ARIES (March 21-April 19): Impulsive action and responses due to additional anxiety will make it difficult for you to decipher what others are thinking. Don’t let situations escalate because of false assumptions. Diplomacy and practicality will help you avoid conflict. ★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Relax and enjoy the merriment of the season. Engage in laughter with friends and relatives, and make plans with someone you love. A thoughtful gift or gesture will add to popularity among your peers. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You’ll be sensitive to what others say and do. Don’t show your feelings or someone is likely to use your vulnerability against you. Indulgence is not a good idea, especially if you are celebrating with your peers. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Put aside time for play. Getting together with the youngsters in your family or making special plans with your lover will improve your relationships and ensure good tidings throughout the holiday season. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Take this opportunity to rearrange your decor or to prepare for the upcoming holidays. Don’t reveal secrets to anyone or someone will criticize you. Consider the changes you want to make in the new year and lay down the groundwork. ★★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t feel limited

Dawgs top Redhawks Andrew Andrews scores 18 points as Washington beats Seattle University for the 11th straight time, C5
WEDNESDAY, 12.23.2015
7 Seahawks receive Pro Bowl honors Wilson, Bennett, Wagner, Sherman, Thomas, Chancellor and Lockett are all named to the squad, matching the most selections in Seattle team history. Herald news services NEW YORK — The NFL’s Pro Bowl rosters were revealed Tuesday evening, and seven Seahawks were named to the squad. They were quarterback Russell Wilson, defensive end Michael Bennett, linebacker Bobby Wagner, cornerback Richard Sherman, safeties Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor, and return specialist Tyler Lockett. The seven Pro Bowlers matches the most in franchise history, joining 1984 and 2005. This is the fifth Pro Bowl selection for Thomas, the fourth for Wilson and Chancellor, third for Sherman, second for Wagner, and first for Bennett and Lockett. Running back Marshawn Lynch, receiver Doug Baldwin, tackle Russell Okung, defensive end Cliff Avril and kicker Steven Hauschka were named Pro Bowl alternates. The Pro Bowl is in Honolulu the week before
the Super Bowl, so Seattle’s selections will be hoping they don’t play in the game and are instead preparing for their third straight Super Bowl appearance. The undefeated Carolina Panthers led the NFL with 10 players selected for the Pro Bowl. The Panthers are two wins away from a perfect regular season. Quarterback Cam Newton was picked for the third time, and five of his teammates were first-time selections, including cornerback Josh Norman and linebacker Thomas Davis. “It’s truly an honor to be selected to the Pro Bowl,” Davis said. “All the hard work and dedication I’ve put into the game has paid off. I’m extremely excited and I couldn’t be more thankful to the fans who took their time to vote me in, as well as my fellow players and coaches. See PRO BOWL, Page C4

USM climbs back from depths to face Huskies
From a rich tradition as giant killers to 0-12 in 2012, the Golden Eagles have rebuilt into a quality program. By Don Ruiz The News Tribune
points and 10 rebounds for Edmonds-Woodway (7-1 overall). “I think they just did a great job as a team today,” Wells said. “A lot of times, Mady Burdett’s the one that comes out and scores. But then other girls step up. Courtney Simpson came off the bench and scored two threes in a row and then we have Missy Peterson step it up.” “They really shoot,” said Stanwood head coach Dennis Kloke. “They made big threes in the
Brett Favre attended the University of Southern Mississippi. So did singer/songwriter Jimmy Buffett. So did Hall of Fame punter Ray Guy. So did New England Patriots linebacker Jamie Collins. And so did I. I was there four decades ago: after Buffett and Guy, but before Favre and Collins. Over those years USM football teams had its highs and lows, of course — but far more highs. Far more than most Northwest sports fans might realize, it is a program very much used to winning. Although when the Golden Eagles got around to their lows, they didn’t fool around: an 0-12 record in 2012. Now, just three seasons removed from the most epic tumble in the history of college football, Southern Miss is back in a bowl game, meeting the Washington Huskies on Saturday in the Heart of Dallas Bowl. On the surface, it’s a pairing of obvious differences. A directional mid-major from Hattiesburg, Mississippi, against a power conference icon from Seattle. But there are similarities, too. UW, after all, had an 0-12 season of its own back in 2008. But those shared humiliations make both teams’ return to bowl status — even Heart of Dallas Bowl status — a marker of resurrection. Yet as the schools prepare to meet for the first time, it could be that what they share most is a history of football success. Certainly, UW’s successes have come on bigger, brighter stages: Rose Bowls and even a national

Edmonds-Woodway’s Mady Burdett (left) steals the ball away from Stanwood’s Ashley Alter during a game Tuesday at Mountlake Terrace High School.
Strong second half pushes Edmonds-Woodway past Stanwood 50-44 By David Krueger Herald Writer
MOUNTLAKE TERRACE — Rebekah Wells requested a little more energy from her Edmonds-Woodway team in the second half of its non-league game against Stanwood. And the Warriors responded almost immediately. Edmonds-Woodway began the third quarter with a 9-0 run, breaking a 24-24 halftime tie, and held on to defeat Stanwood 50-44 Tuesday night at
the Mountlake Terrace Holiday Tournament at Mountlake Terrace High School. “We just needed more energy,” Edmonds-Woodway head coach Wells said. “The first half we were just really slow and really lackadaisical with some passes. I just told the girls, ‘Get some more energy. Be a threat.’ And they came out and we got the fast breaks we needed and got it going.” Senior guard Mady Burdett was a big part of the secondhalf run for the Warriors, who

Missy Peterson also had a strong game for the Warriors, with the junior post scoring 14 and grabbing 15 rebounds in the contest. “Against teams that are very good (Peterson will) step it up,” Wells said. “Sometimes, in the zone, she can get lost, but today she was like, ‘I’ve got to do it.’” Maddie Tudor added eight

Stanford’s Christian McCaffrey (5) and teammates celebrate their 31-14 win over Washington after a game on Oct. 24 in Stanford, Calif. McCaffrey was selected as The Associated Press college football player of the year on Tuesday, becoming the first non-Heisman Trophy winner to earn the honor in six years.
football player. What do you need for him to do?” Add it all up and McCaffrey set the NCAA record for allpurpose yards with 3,496 this season, breaking the mark of 3,250 set by Oklahoma State’s Barry Sanders in 1988. McCaffrey played two more games than Sanders though he had fewer total touches when he passed the record. “You can say he had the best year in the history of college football,” Shaw said. McCaffrey, who is the son of former Stanford and NFL receiver Ed McCaffrey, can also kick and punt though he admits without much consistency. “(In high school) I had one 60 yard punt and I had one negative-3-yard punt,” he said. Shaw said he is confident McCaffrey could hold his own on defense if necessary. “One day we needed some guys to flip over and be on the
scout team,” Shaw said. “And he flipped over and jumped over at corner. And the back pedal was natural. The plant and dive was natural. The flipping the hips to run deep was natural. He could be phenomenal at that position, too.” McCaffrey led the Cardinal (11-2) to a Pac-12 championship and their third Rose Bowl appearance in the last four year. Stanford will play Iowa on Jan. 1 in Pasadena, California. His record-breaking season will make him one of the favorites to win the Heisman heading into the 2016 season. It will be a high standard to match, but McCaffrey said he has plenty left to prove. “I’m not satisfied at all with the season, my personal season,” he said. “All the great players you ask always expect greatness. There’s definitely a lot of work to be done. A lot of room for improvement.”
to a power conference like TCU. But this was once a Southeastern commoner that SEC royalty scheduled at their own peril. Among the giants these Eagles have felled: Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, LSU, Florida State, Oklahoma State, Nebraska, TCU, Pittsburgh, Virginia Tech, Illinois and in-state rivals Ole Miss and Mississippi State. The Golden Eagles have played in 22 bowl games and won 10. They went bowling in 14 of 15 seasons starting in 1997, including a run of 10 straight seasons from 2002-2011. Their 2011 Hawaii Bowl win over Nevada capped a 12-2 season — the most wins in the history of a program now in its 99th season. However, for a school like Southern Miss, that kind of success — a top 20 finish in the Associated Press poll — is often

Akron 23, Utah State 21 BOISE, Idaho — Robert Stein made three field goals and Jatavis Brown led a smothering defense as Akron earned its first victory in a bowl over Utah State (6-7). Stein, who became the school’s career scoring leader with 268 points, connected from 29, 33 and 46 yards, and was selected the game’s MVP. His longest kick gave the Zips a 23-14 with 8:15 remaining. Akron (8-5) finished with eight wins for the first time since moving up to FBS in 1987. The record came four years to the day after the school hired coach Terry Bowden.
followed by a coaching search. That’s what happened as Larry Fedora cashed his get-out-ofHattiesburg card for a shiny new contract at North Carolina. USM was used to this. Bobby Collins departed for SMU after lifting the Eagles to a school high-water-mark No. 9 national ranking during the 1981 season. Curley Hallman went 23-11 from 1988-90 — with Favre as quarterback — and bolted for LSU. But in each case, while the coach left, the winning remained. That ended with a thud in 2012, when the innovative, offensive-minded Fedora was replaced by old-school, defensive-minded Ellis Johnson. Poof. Just like that 12-2 morphed into 0-12. It remains the only time in NCAA history that a team nosedived from 12 wins to 12 losses over back-to-back seasons. Southern Miss greeted its 0-fer the same way Washington did: by changing coaches. USM reached
again to Oklahoma State — from where it had plucked Fedora — and hired OSU offensive coordinator Todd Monken. He restored the aggressively fast-paced spread offense that UW fans will see on Saturday. But tactics changed faster than results. The Monken era began with 11 straight defeats — extending Southern Miss’ losing streak to 23 games, which only seemed like eternity. But when the streak ended, it ended with an exclamation point: a 62-27 rout of Alabama Birmingham. A 1-11 record doesn’t beat much, but it beats 0-12. And it reminded all concerned that if Southern Miss hasn’t yet produced a United States president or even a Supreme Court justice, it’s pretty good at producing guys who can write beach songs and guys who can play football. In 2014, the Golden Eagles ticked up to 3-9. And that set the stage for the 9-4 breakthrough of this season, with one bowl date remaining against relative giant Washington.

Stanford running back Christian McCaffrey is The Associated Press college football player of the year, becoming the first non-Heisman Trophy winner to earn the honor in six years. McCaffrey was the runnerup for the Heisman Trophy to Derrick Henry, but received 29 of 60 votes from the AP Top 25 media panel to edge the Alabama running back. Henry received 16 votes and Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson was third with 11. Navy quarterback Keenan Reynolds and Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield each received two votes. The last time the AP player of the year was not the Heisman winner was 2009. That season Nebraska defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh was the AP voter’s choice while the Heisman went to Alabama running back Mark Ingram. It is the fifth time overall that the Heisman winner and AP player of the year went to different players. McCaffrey is the first Stanford player to win the award since it was first handed out in 1998 and first running back to win it since one of his football heroes, Southern California’s Reggie Bush, did it in 2005. “This award is a testament to all the efforts and support of my teammates, coaches, staff and the entire Stanford football program,” McCaffrey said in a statement to the AP on Tuesday. The 200-pound sophomore was a revelation this season and, like Bush, displayed an ability to dominate games in various ways. He ran for 1,847 yards (secondmost in the nation behind Henry) and eight touchdowns, caught a team-best 41 passes for 540 yards and four scores and averaged 28.9 yards per kickoff return with another score. He also threw two touchdown passes. “What is Christian McCaffrey? The answer is football player,” Stanford coach David Shaw said in a recent interview. “It’s not running back. It’s not receiver. It’s not returner. It’s

WSU MEN
BOCA RATON, Fla. — Phillip Ely hit Cody Thompson with an 80-yard touchdown pass early in the fourth quarter Tuesday night, and Toledo won Jason Candle’s first game as head coach, beating No. 24 Temple 32-17 in a soggy Boca Raton Bowl. Candle was promoted from offensive coordinator three weeks ago when Matt Campbell took over at Iowa State. The Rockets (10-2) positioned themselves to crack the final Top 25 for the first time since 2001, the last season they won 10 games. Temple (10-4) lost for the fourth time in seven games after starting 7-0. Frequent driving rain hampered both offenses, but Ely went 20 for 28 for 285 yards and two scores with no turnovers. Linebacker Ja’Wuan Woodley’s jarring tackle sent the ball squirting backward 15 yards through the end zone for an early safety, and the hits kept coming from the Rockets’ defense. Temple came into the game averaging 31 points but didn’t reach the end zone until less than three minutes remained. Jahad Thomas, who came into the game with 1,257 yards rushing for Temple, hurt his knee late in the first half and didn’t return. He was held to 5 yards on eight carries, and his fumble led to the safety. Toledo entered the game ranked third in the nation in red zone defense, and three times the Rockets held Temple to short field goals. Ely and Woodley were chosen the game’s most valuable players.

fourth quarter, when the game was getting tight. It’s hard to defend.” With Edmonds-Woodway in a zone defense, Stanwood remained scoreless in the third quarter until midway through the period, when senior Haley Strowbridge got the Spartans on the scoreboard with a midrange shot. A 3-pointer by Strowbridge got Stanwood to within four, 45-41, with 4:50 to go in the game but the Spartans couldn’t get any closer. “We just got stagnant (in the third quarter),” Kloke said. “We have not faced a lot of zone. So we’re running a zone offense that’s brand new without a post. We’re pretty good when they play us man-to-man. We know what to do. But we are just a step behind in our timing of the zone offense.

a negative right now. It’s a non-league game. So, now we can take some positives and correct the negatives and we’ll be better. “I just liked how the girls continued to play,” Kloke continued. “Things are going south for us in that third quarter. We could have been 15, 18 points down really quick. I didn’t call a timeout right away because I wanted to see the character of the five kids that were on the court. Were they going to meet the challenge? And they did.” Strowbridge led Stanwood (5-3) with 14 points. One of two seniors on a Spartans squad that features a freshman, two juniors and six sophomores, Strowbridge has emerged as a leader for Stanwood. “It’s her team. She’s earned it, to call it her team,” Kloke said. “She’s our leader. She pointed out to her teammates that they have to be more vocal on the court, more intense. She’s going to

provide it and they need to follow.” Jillian Heichel scored nine points and grabbed seven rebounds and Kaitlin Larson added six points and 12 rebounds for the Spartans. Larson, at 5-foot-11, has had to fill in at post for Stanwood this season after the graduation of former Spartans star Tristan Murphy. “Kaitlin Larson is doing a heck of a job on the boards,” Kloke said. “She’s playing the middle of our zone and we’re asking a 5-10, 5-11 girl to all of a
sudden go into the middle where Tristan Murphy was last year. It really is a tough adjustment. She’s the one that’s got to see everybody. I’m really pleased with how she’s been playing.” Both coaches were excited to square off in Tuesday’s holiday tournament at Mountlake Terrace. The last time the two teams met, Edmonds-Woodway topped Stanwood 71-65 in a thrilling opener in the 3A District 1 tournament last season. Wells and Kloke know they could meet again

NEW YORK — Odell Beckham Jr. is going to have his appeal of his one-game suspension heard by a former NFL receiver. The NFL said Tuesday that former Washington and Philadelphia wide out James Thrash will be the hearing officer for the appeal by the New York Giants receiver. The hearing will be held at an undisclosed time and place. Thrash and Derrick Brooks are the hearing officers jointly appointed by the NFL and the players’ association. The league suspended Beckham on Monday for his conduct against Carolina, when he drew three personal foul penalties. The league cited “multiple violations of safety-related playing rules.” The Giants (6-8) face a key game on Sunday night at Minnesota. If Beckham’s appeal is turned down, the Giants will be without their best offensive option. Beckham and Panthers cornerback Josh Norman tangled from
Pro Bowl From Page C1
“To have 10 guys selected says a lot about our team. It says a lot about our fans and how highly they thought of us this season, and I think it says a lot about the way our season has gone. I’m excited and thankful to be part of the 10.” Joining them will be center Ryan Kalil, who was picked for the fifth time, and linebacker Luke Kuechly, who earned his third selection.
the beginning of the Panthers’ 38-35 victory. There was plenty of pushing, shoving, swinging, wrestling, late hits and trash talking between them. The most flagrant action came in the third quarter when Beckham Odell delivered a diving Beckham Jr. helmet-to-helmet hit on Norman while blocking. Beckham, the 2014 Offensive Rookie of the Year, has 91 catches for 1,396 yards and 13 touchdowns, tied for the league lead. He has a base salary of $893,000 and would lose $55,813 for being suspended for Sunday night’s game. The suspension was imposed by NFL Vice President of Football Operations Merton Hanks, who ruled that Beckham’s actions placed his opponents at unnecessary risk of injury and should have been avoided. The conduct of other players in the Panthers-Giants game is being
reviewed by the NFL for potential fines.
Pats sign vet RB Steven Jackson FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — The New England Patriots signed veteran free agent running back Steven Jackson. The 32-year-old was the 24th overall pick of the St. Louis Rams in the 2004 draft. In nine seasons in St. Louis, he became the franchise’s leading rusher with 10,138 yards and had 56 rushing touchdowns. In 2013, Jackson signed a multi-year deal with the Atlanta Falcons. Jackson had 1,250 yards and 12 touchdowns over two seasons in Atlanta before he was released on Feb. 25.
Cardinals place Mathieu on IR TEMPE, Ariz. — The Arizona Cardinals placed safety Tyrann Mathieu on injured reserve and re-signed safety Chris Clemons. The moves come a day after coach Bruce Arians said Mathieu is out for the season with a torn ACL. Clemons played in the Cardinals’ first five games, making two tackles on special teams and one on defense. Clemons was placed on injured reserve with an ankle injury on Oct. 14 and was released with an injury settlement on Oct. 19.
Along with Seattle, Arizona and New England each had seven players selected, and Cincinnati had five players picked. Patriots star Tom Brady was selected for the 11th time, most of any player this year. Among the other Patriots honored were tight end Rob Gronkowski and cornerback Malcolm Butler, whose last-minute interception clinched New England’s Super Bowl win over Seattle. Raiders safety Charles Woodson, who announced on Monday that he will retire after the season, was selected for the ninth time. Also selected was Giants receiver Odell Beckham Jr., who
has 91 catches for 1,396 yards and 13 touchdowns, tied for the league lead. Beckham was given a onegame suspension on Monday for his conduct on Sunday against Carolina, when he drew three personal foul penalties. Twenty-five players selected were first-timers, including three rookies: the Rams’ Todd Gurley, Lockett and the Chiefs’ Marcus Peters. Hall of Famers Jerry Rice and Michael Irvin will serve as alumni team captains for their Pro Bowl teams. The draft will be on Jan. 27. The Pro Bowl will be held on Jan. 31 in Aloha Stadium in Honolulu, Hawaii.

SEATTLE — For the eighth time in their eight Major League Soccer seasons, the Seattle Sounders will open at home. This time it will be Sporting Kansas City visiting CenturyLink Field at 4 p.m. March 6 for one of 10 matches on the league’s opening day.

Huskies beat Seattle for 11th straight time Associated Press SEATTLE — Andrew Andrews scored 18 points to lead the University of Washington to a 79-68 home win against Seattle University on Tuesday night. Marquese Chriss added 16 points, David Crisp scored 13 and Noah Dickerson and Malik Dime each had 10 for the Huskies, who have won five of their last six games. Jadon Cohee had 13 points to lead the Redhawks, who had five players in double figures. Brendan Westendorf, Manroop Clair and William Powell each scored 12, and Aaron Menzies had 10. Seattle University has lost 11 straight to the Huskies, a streak dating back to 1978. The teams have played annually since 2008-2009. Seattle trailed by 11 early in the second half, but the Redhawks kept it close, closing the gap to four points with 10 minutes to play.
No. 3 Oklahoma 88, Washington St. 60 HONOLULU — Buddy Hield scored 25 points as No. 3 Oklahoma cruised to a win over Washington State in a quarterfinal-round game of the Diamond Head Classic. Hield made 8 of 13 shots from the field, including 5 of 8 from 3-point range, and was a perfect 4 for 4 from the freethrow line in just 26 minutes played. He had 15 points by halftime. Isaiah Cousins had 13 points, Dante Buford added 11 and Jordan Woodard 10 for the Sooners (9-0), who led by as many as 30 points late in the contest. Oklahoma shot 56.7 percent (17 of 30) from the field in the second half and 50 percent (31 of 62) for the game. Ike Iroegbu and Josh Hawkinson scored 16 points apiece for Washington State. Oklahoma held a 38-31 lead at halftime.
HONOLULU — The University of Hawaii men’s basketball team was put on three years of probation Tuesday by the NCAA after an investigation found former coach Gib Arnold violated ethical conduct rules and provided false or misleading information. Hawaii will lose two scholarships during the next two seasons, leaving it with 11, and cannot play in postseason games during the 2016-2017 academic year. The NCAA approved a $10,000 fine that the university previously imposed on itself. Hawaii also must pay a penalty equaling 1 percent of the basketball program’s budget over the previous three years. Hawaii athletic director David Matlin said attorneys are reviewing the decision, but the university doesn’t plan to appeal. He said the athletic department added a staff position to focus on rules education, and has increased efforts to inform boosters of the rules and make student-athletes more aware of them. He voiced confidence in the basketball program improving under Eran Ganot, who was hired as the new coach in April. “While we are disappointed with the postseason ban, and the impact on current student-athletes and our great fans, we accept the penalties and continue to move forward with Eran Ganot at the helm,” Matlin said. Hawaii has been under investigation since March 2014, after the school reported a former assistant men’s basketball coach altered and submitted a fraudulent financial document on behalf of a recruit. Arnold’s attorney, James Bickerton, said in an email that his client was pleased the NCAA found no Level 1 violations — the most serious of the association’s four tiers of infractions — as he had been saying. Bickerton said the NCAA accepted Arnold’s testimony on events and rejected the testimony of his main accusers on the factual points he disputed. The NCAA also recognized Arnold was poorly supported by the university’s compliance department, the email said. The university fired Arnold in October 2014 amid the investigation. But Arnold filed a grievance with the state government employees union, claiming the university had violated his 2011 contract by firing him without cause.

ST. LOUIS — Free agent pitcher Mike Leake and the St. Louis Cardinals have agreed to an $80 million, five-year contract. General manager John Mozeliak announced the deal at a news conference on Tuesday. “When the offseason is unfolding, different options pop up,” Mozeliak said. “When this did, we decided it made a lot of sense. I do think it makes the Cardinals stronger.” A 28-year-old right-hander, Leake is 64-52 with a 3.88 ERA in six big league seasons. He was 11-10 with a 3.70 ERA for Cincinnati and San Francisco
last season, totaling 30 starts and 190 innings. Ace Adam Wainwright, who returned late in the season from a torn left Achilles tendon, heads a rotation that includes Carlos Martinez, who was sidelined in September by a shoulder injury but is anticipated to be ready for spring training. Jaime Garcia and Michael Wacha also are expected to start, and Marco Gonzales and Tyler Lyons could earn rotation spots. “I think we can be the best,” Leake said. “If they name me the No. 5 guy, that’s fine with me.” St. Louis failed in efforts to retain outfielder Jason Heyward and add pitcher David Price earlier this offseason.
SNOHOMISH COUNTY COUNCIL SNOHOMISH COUNTY, WASHINGTON NOTICE OF ENACTMENT NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, that on November 23, 2015 the Snohomish County Council enacted Amended Ordinance No. 15-081, adopting the 2016 Budget and making appropriations for the operation of county agencies and departments and capital improvements for the period beginning January 1, 2016 and ending December 31, 2016. AMENDED ORDINANCE NO. 15-081 BE IT ORDAINED: Section 1. Appropriations. Having considered the County Executive’s proposed 2016 budget, including the Executive’s proposals regarding property tax revenues, the County Council hereby adopts the budget for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2016, and ending December 31, 2016, at the program levels set forth in Attachment 1, a computerized compilation of budget detail attached hereto and incorporated as if fully stated herein. In case of conflict, the figures in Attachment 1 shall control over the summary table in section 4. Section 2. Fire Districts. Pursuant to the requirements of Chapter 49, § 23, Laws of Washington 1982, 1st ex. sess., funding for the fire districts within Snohomish County has been fully considered during the budget process. While such districts provide an important service to the residents of Snohomish County, they are independent taxing entities; therefore this budget does not provide funds for their use. Section 3. Non-represented Employees. (a) The base 2016 compensation levels (salaries and wages) of non-represented regular employees (except the elected officials identified in SCC 2.105.010, employees covered by the Sheriff’s office exempt employees compensation plan established by SCC 3.69.050 and District and Superior Court Judges and Commissioners) that are set by section 1 of this ordinance are unchanged from the base year 2014 salaries and wages. The intent of this section is to establish that the base 2016 compensation levels of non-represented county employees shall be treated the same as those granted to AFSCME union employees in their collective bargaining agreements covering the years 2015 and 2016. The base 2016 compensation for such employees shall be subject to adjustment such that final 2016 compensation for such employees shall be determined at the time wage negotiations between the county and its AFSCME union employees are concluded. Compensation increases granted to non-represented county employees shall be the same as those granted to AFSCME union employees, if any, in their collective bargaining agreements covering the years 2015 and 2016. The amount of any compensation increases applicable to non-represented county employees shall be established by the council by written motion. Any increased compensation shall be paid as a lump sum for those months prior to the date of the adjustment determination and shall be paid on a monthly basis as an increase in total compensation for those months following the adjustment determination. For non-represented regular employees who are hired after January 1, 2016, any lump sum adjustment amount they receive shall be prorated based upon their date of employment. b) For active non-represented temporary employees who perform duties that are equivalent to those performed by regular employees and who receive a rate of compensation for such work that is equal to the rate paid for that work done by regular employees, the compensation levels set by section 1 of this ordinance shall be fixed in a manner equivalent to that set forth in subsection (a) of this section for regular employees. Section 4. Summary Table. The 2016 budget is organized by funds and departments in the following amounts:

Here’s to the holidays
These three cocktails will fill you with comfort and joy
ROSE McAVOY
Candied nuts spark memories
By Jessi Loerch Herald Writer
Take a deep breath. Christmas is almost here. Then it’ll be New Years and — before you blink — 2016 will be halfway over. Right now, at the darkest time of year, don’t forget to slow down from time to time and savor some time with your friends and family. Here are three drinks that you can sip while catching up with your favorite people, watching a movie or reading a good book. All can be easily prepped in advance for one or for many. And the simple syrup will keep well in the fridge. Cheers!
L
ike so many others, my family has its own collection of traditional holiday recipes. Most are known by heart or written in cryptic shorthand on faded recipe cards. In the weeks before Christmas, we divide the usual assignments to make sure everyone’s favorite foods will be on the holiday table. Of course, it is not the food itself that is important. Family recipes are the true ghost of Christmas past. The smell, taste and even the homemade appearance of our family recipes can transport me right back to Christmas at my grandparents’ house. On my trips to the past, I can once again feel the warmth of their living room, smell the fresh Douglas fir and holiday cooking, and hear a chorus of laughter — the sort of laughter that comes from people who truly enjoy spending time together. My grandma used to make all sorts of goodies for Christmas. Busy lady that she was, her specialties were of the no-bake variety. On Christmas Eve, she piled plates and trays with Nanaimo bars, chocolatecovered peanut butter bars, and other assorted bits of deliciousness. I particularly looked forward to her candied nuts with their sugary glaze and warm spices. The best part about the candied nuts was not waiting until dessert to eat them. The sweet treats were often put out in little dishes for snacking both before and after our holiday dinner. A few years ago, I wanted to make a batch of candied nuts for the holidays so I asked her for the recipe. Unfortunately, though she recalled it being very simple, she couldn’t remember exactly how she made them nor find the recipe amongst her many clippings from years of newspapers and
Blackberry sparkler Sparkling white wine of your choice 1 cup frozen blackberries ¾ cup sugar 1 cup water Sprig rosemary Garnish: Rosemary and/or frozen blackberry Make blackberry simple syrup: Combine blackberries, sugar, water and 5 inch length of rosemary branch together in a pot. Bring to a boil, lower to a simmer and let cook until sauce is deep purple, slightly thickened and very fragrant, about 10 minutes. Strain out the solids and let syrup cool. Add 1 to 2 ounces syrup to a champagne flute. Top up with champagne. Garnish with rosemary and/or blackberry.
Ginger spice 1 ounce ginger liqueur 2 ounces whiskey Ginger beer Pour ginger liqueur and whiskey over ice. Top up with ginger beer.
Kumquat sparkler Sparkling white wine of your choice 10 regular-sized kumquats 1 cup sugar 1 cup water Vanilla bean Cut kumquats in half or squash them. Combine them with sugar, water and vanilla bean in a pot. For a stronger vanilla flavor, split the bean and scrape out the insides, then add it all to the pot. Bring liquid to a boil and lower to a simmer. Let simmer until the kumquats are soft and the mixture is very fragrant. At least 10 minutes. Strain out the solids and let syrup cool. Add ¾ ounce syrup (or to taste) to champagne flute and top up with champagne. Garnish with a slice of kumquat.
ANDY BRONSON / THE HERALD
This trio of holiday drinks — a blackberry sparkler, ginger spice and kumquat sparkler — are easy to make for one person or for a crowd and most of the work can be done in advance.

Adventurous home cooks will enjoy these 5 food magazines By Erin Pride-Swaney Special to The Herald
Along with Bon Appetite, Saveur, Food + Wine and the other well known food publications, there are several craft magazines with a more specific focus that make the perfect stocking stuffer, but only if you get it right. We’ve found five that could fit the bill. The healthy chef: Chickpea Magazine $75, four annual issues, chickpeamagazine.com Making vegan look delicious, Chickpea brings creative vegan cocktails and cuisine to print. With thoughtful articles, city guides, cookbook reviews, dining suggestions and on-trend art and photography this is a gift that will impress even your most hardcore vegan. Who to get this for? Healthfully mindful home cooks who prefer a plant-based whole food diet. Vegans and vegetarians. The intellectual chef: Gastronomica: The Journal of Critical
Food Studies $59, four annual issues, gastronomica.org The name alone lets you know this isn’t a home for food porn. Gastronomica, filled with news on current world issues related to food and eating, is as interesting as it is enlightening. Think of it as falling in the documentary section of film categories on your Netflix list. It’s not bossy or opinionated, but rather provides a venue for diverse articles on a variety of food-related subjects. Who to get this for? Home cooks who want to learn more about what we eat and why. Anyone interested in food politics and culture. The modern home chef: Gather Journal $35, two annual issues, gatherjournal.com Gather Journal is like the photography and design magazines I collected in college. Like a mix of Andy Warhol and vintage 50’s food photography, Gather is alluring but not stand-offish

combination. Who to get this for? For the home cook in your life who’s open to jumping on that uni with squid ink pasta trend but who also doesn’t mind a dinner of $3 McD’s burgers and fries.

You don’t have to choose between pleasure and wellness
T
he glorious bounty of food that surrounds us this time of year makes the season a celebration. From cheese plates, party dips and turkey dinners to chocolates, cakes and cookies, it is a time when pleasure and indulgence rule. Many embrace the bacchanalia wholeheartedly and banish thoughts about health until Jan. 1, while others struggle to forgo the deliciousness to stay on the right track. But the idea that you have to choose between pleasure and wellness is untrue. There is a wealth of evidence that focusing on food’s sensual pleasure can help you find a healthful balance.
or previous parties to help make your image more complete. You might find satisfaction without stuffing yourself.
Slow down and savor
Anticipate enjoyment
DIXIE D. VEREEN / FOR THE WASHINGTON POST
It turns out that simply imagining the pleasure of those butter cookies before reaching for them could help prevent you from gobbling too many. In a 2014 study done at INSEAD, a business school founded in France, researchers found that people who were asked to vividly imagine the taste, smell and texture of an indulgent food, such as chocolate cake, before being offered some, ultimately chose smaller portions of that food and enjoyed it as least

as much as those who didn’t think about the food before eating it. Another study, this one from Brigham Young University, concluded that thinking about a food — in this case by looking at pictures of it and evaluating it — activates sensory memories of the eating experience that provide a measure of satisfaction; the
subjects didn’t need to consume as much to feel content. So before you get to a holiday party, try imagining the goodies you expect to find there. Conjure the aroma, texture and how they will look and taste. Think about their preparation and how they’ll be served. You could pore through photos from cookbooks
Nuts
Microplane zester: The lemon zester is a little thing that makes such a big difference, because lemon zest is the key to making so many things delicious, and the normal procedure for removing it involves removing the skin from your knuckles with a box grater. You can also use this for coarse-grating nutmeg over eggnog, chocolate over whipped cream or mousse, or cheese over pasta or salad. High-quality, jarshaped measuring spoons: You wouldn’t think there’d be much to say about measuring spoons — at least unless you’ve spent time hunting for your spoons, trying to divine the size of a cheap plastic one that has had its printing wash off in the dishwasher, or gently tapping spices out into the bowl of a round

Sugar and spice candied nuts Makes approximately 14 cups of candied nuts Ingredients 2½ lbs (9 cups) unsalted fancy mixed nuts (or the nut of your choosing) 6 cups powdered sugar 4 tsp ground cinnamon 3 tsp ground ginger 2 tsp sea salt 1½ tsp ground cloves 6 tbsp vodka Line two baking pans with parchment paper. In a large soup pot, pour in the nuts then top with the remaining ingredients. Cook over medium-high heat. Stir constantly with a wooden
spoon — the mixture will begin powdery, turn syrupy, then become very thick and sticky (10 to 15 minutes). Remove from the heat when most of the liquid has evaporated. Turn the candied nuts onto the lined baking sheets and spread into an even layer. Allow the nuts to cool completely before serving or packaging.

of meat for browning, to fishing pasta out of boiling water to check doneness, to tossing salads. I have metal tongs for steel pans and silicone-head tongs for nonstick pans. If you’re buying for someone who owns nonstick pans, remember that longer is generally more useful, and silicone heads can be used in metal pans but metal heads cannot be used on nonstick pans. Pizza mesh: Moisture is the enemy of crispiness. A pizza mesh exposes the bottom of what you’re cooking to air so that it can’t be softened by steam trapped between the food and the metal pan. I also use it for oven-baked quesadillas, breaded chicken, and anything else that typically comes out inadequately crispy in a home oven. (Put a cookie sheet on the rack underneath if you’re worried about dripping cheese.) The metal ones are prettier, but the nonstick mesh has stood me in good stead. — Megan McArdle,

What to look for in a set of measuring spoons: solid stainless steel, markings that are etched rather than printed on the handles, bowls that are long rather than round, and spoons that are attached to a ring so they can be hung on a hook rather than get lost in a utensil drawer. A six-piece set with the ¾-teaspoon measure turns out to be surprisingly useful if you can find one. Extra-large spatula: I hate cooked fish, but a very big fish spatula is extremely handy. I now also have a pancake turner and a grill spatula. I almost never use my regular spatulas because the wide ones are so much more handy.

Candied nuts are so easy to make. The combination of spices and sugar smells like Christmas and looks beautiful in any container from a jar to a zip-top bag. The recipe, designed to use a single Costco-sized jar of mixed nuts, makes enough for sharing but can be cut if needed. Prep time: 10 minutes, Cook time: 15 minutes, Cooling time: up to 1 hour
A key thing for food lovers to remember is that the hedonistic pleasure we get from a particular food doesn’t increase with bigger portions. Rather, we experience something scientists call “sensoryspecific satiety” where after eating something for a while our enjoyment of it diminishes. To get the maximum pleasure per bite, it’s best to go for a small portion and pause for a few minutes after eating to let it register completely that the craving has been quenched. So to reap the most joy from holiday food without going overboard, take a moment to anticipate and imagine eating your favorite treat, serve yourself a small portion of it and savor every bite. Then sit back, relax and let all that pleasure sink in. Ellie Krieger is a registered dietitian, nutritionist and author. She blogs and offers a biweekly newsletter at www.elliekrieger. com.

magazines. Thanks to a bit of inspiration, I have been able to come up with a recipe that, while not exactly the same, is similar enough to spark the memories. I will be giving jars of candied nuts to my family and friends through the holiday season — hopefully sparking a few happy memories in the process.
To get the most pleasure from food, slow down instead of shoveling it in mindlessly. Employ all of your senses to fully experience it and how it makes you feel. Before you eat, take in the food with your eyes, appreciating its colors, textures and presentation, and inhale and enjoy its appealing aroma. When you take a bite, chew well, allowing all the flavors to unfold. Approaching food in this way not only produces more pleasure as you eat, it helps temper your pace and allows you to consume less overall. Studies show that when people eat more slowly, they tend to take in fewer calories and feel just as satisfied. According to a study in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, this may be, at least in part, because slower eating produces more gut hormones associated with feelings of fullness. Slowing down not only boosts the pleasure of food, it helps you
to continue to feel good afterward because you are less likely to overeat and be uncomfortable. And besides, chewing well makes the whole digestive process run more smoothly.

GRANDPARENTING | Tom and Dee Hardie with Key Kidder
Granddaughter’s sex life poses dilemma Dear Grandparenting: I got my heart checkup yesterday. I didn’t even have to go the doctor’s office. I walked in on my granddaughter and her boyfriend doing what looked like having sex. They had a blanket over them and the lights were turned off. My heart rate went through the roof and then returned back to normal. It took me a little while to regain my composure. I returned to the room with a little speech all prepared. My granddaughter and her boyfriend were long gone. She phoned me later that same day to apologize for embarrassing me like that. She begged me not to tell her parents. She said they hate Tom the boyfriend. My son has had words with him. I am not a real big fan either. He hardly ever bothers to say anything and leaves his dirty glasses and dishes around the house. My granddaughter is 17. I gave her a house key because her parents don’t always get along. She says she feels “safe” in my place. What do I do now? Do I tell her parents their daughter is sexually active? I really do think they
were caught in the act. Do I give her the birds and bees speech? Or do I keep quiet and let it roll? My granddaughter promised I would not be seeing Tom anymore. — What Now?, Kingsport, Tennessee Dear What: How many parents still sit their children down for “the birds and the bees” speech? It’s the right thing to do, but in today’s hyper sexualized youth culture, we suspect most grandchildren learn about the mechanics of making babies early on. Sex is on the tip of teen tongues, or just a click away on the Internet. Like it or not, the majority isn’t saving themselves for marriage. According to the Guttmacher Institute, a leading global think tank on sexual and reproductive health, 71 percent of America’s grandchildren have experienced their sexual initiation by age 19. There is little difference of the timing between the genders. Only 16 percent have had sex by age 15, but the teenage years are a time of change and experimentation. At 16, it’s 33 percent. By 17, it’s nearly 50 percent. While

we certainly don’t endorse such romps, we know plenty of parents who regard them with a certain air of inevitability. What’s a grandparent to do? It may too late for the birds and bees, but it’s never too late to talk about the risks and consequences of loose behavior. At that age, grandchildren think they know it all. Bad things only happen to other people, right? Wrong! Grand Remark Of The Week W.C. of Sidney, Ohio, was a lot more excited about the impending arrival of another grandchild than grandson Robert, age 7. “You’ll either have two brothers and one sister or two sisters and one brother,” said W.C. “Isn’t that great?” Robert wasn’t buying any of that. “I want a dog instead.

Payback for cheating hubby isn’t worth price Dear Abby: I found out a few months ago that my husband, “Hal,” the father of my children, has had affairs with five different women. I left, and we are now being divorced. I desperately wanted revenge, so I have been secretly seeing Hal’s good friend “Ron,” whom he “forbade” me from contacting after I told him his infidelity and disrespect gave me permission to act on the attraction I had for Ron. It’s just a friends-with-benefits situation and I am having fun, so I don’t really consider it to be revenge. Hal has spent the past five months begging me to forgive him and work on our marriage, but I no longer love him and I certainly don’t trust him. I told him I would “work on” forgiving him, so now he calls, says he still loves me and flirts. The last woman Hal cheated on me with is his current girlfriend. He told me that if I ever want to hook up, I should make sure to use code words when leaving messages because she might see my calls and text messages. He also told me that he is not interested in a long-term relationship with her. I slept with Hal recently to have leverage. I was contemplating sending her the proof as payback for how she treated me some months back, although I don’t want her boyfriend back. I am now questioning if this is the right thing to do. Should I just leave it alone? — Payback Somewhere In The Usa Dear Payback: Yes, do it for everyone’s sake — including your own. This cycle of revenge is doing no one any good.

DEAR ABBY groups of friends or to social functions, but it was difficult to get her to go home. She always liked closing the place down, and if we left early I felt like I was dragging her away. For the first five years after our children were born we didn’t get out much. My wife is now starting to go out with friends from work — a mixed group of single and married guys and gals. She has invited me to come along, but sitters are expensive and I’m not friendly with her co-workers. She stays out with them until 3 to 4 a.m. once a month. I think that’s ridiculously late when you have a husband and children at home. When she’s not here, I can’t sleep and I worry that something is wrong. She rarely calls to check in unless I ask her to. Overall I trust her, but with her drinking heavily and many single guys around, I don’t feel comfortable with the situation. — Lonely Dad In Arizona Dear Lonely Dad: Last call for serving alcohol in Arizona is 2 a.m. Could your wife be drinking so heavily that she needs the time to sober up in order to drive home? If that’s the case, she may be a binge drinker, which isn’t healthy. The implications of your letter are serious, so you should have a discussion about the amount she imbibes on her nights out.

BRIDGE Can’t you take a break from badgering your partners?” I begged Grapefruit, my club’s acid-tongued member. “After all, it’s Christmas.” “So what?” Grapefruit growled. “My partners act like it’s Christmas every day of the year. They hand out gifts to our opponents like tinsel. Merry Christmas ... to almost everybody.” As today’s West, Grapefruit led a club against 3NT: queen, ace, six. East returned the ten, and South followed with the seven. Grapefruit let

An unlikely holiday chestnut By J. Freedom du Lac The Washington Post
Michael Ball, a British stage actor and singer, was watching a performance of traditional Christmas music at a London drama school several years ago when the students unwrapped Joni Mitchell’s “River.” Ball said he was somewhat startled, given that the classic 1971 confessional isn’t really a Christmas song. Never mind that its opening melody is “Jingle Bells” in a minor key and that the lyrics begin with a seasonal scene: “It’s coming on Christmas, they’re cutting down trees/ They’re putting up reindeer, singing songs of joy and peace.” Ultimately, “River” is a bereft song about a broken romance and a woman who desperately wants to escape her heartbreak, saying repeatedly: “I wish I had a river I could skate away on.” The despairing drama just happens to be set around the holidays. “There were all these 18- and 19-year-olds doing traditional Christmas songs, and then, bang — they start doing ‘River,’” Ball recalled in a subsequent interview with The Washington Post. “I’m thinking: Where on Earth did this come from?” Of course, Ball might have asked himself that same question: In 2000,

he recorded a version of “River” for his holiday album, “Christmas.” At the time, he thought he was a maverick for placing the song alongside the likes of “Silent Night” and “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.” As it turns out, plenty of artists have been dreaming of a very, very blue Christmas over the last two decades: “River” — originally featured on Mitchell’s melancholy 1971 masterwork, “Blue” — has become a seasonal favorite, despite being “thoroughly depressing,” as Elbow frontman Guy Garvey noted at a 2009 Christmas concert. Or perhaps it’s ascended to holiday-hit status precisely because it’s an antidote to all those “songs of joy and peace.” “We needed a sad Christmas song, didn’t we?” Mitchell said with a chuckle last year on NPR. “In the ‘bah humbug’ of it all.” “River” has long been a popular cover among musicians, more than 400 of whom have recorded it for commercial release.

“Fabulous. We had just moved to the area and Dr. Crawford was recommended for my husband who had a bad toothache. We are grateful for them seeing a new patient immediately and the staff are all wonderful. As much as I usually dread dentists, I have enjoyed all my visits to their office!” ~ Peggy
At the time, Taylor had just released “James Taylor at Christmas,” which included “River” — a song he’d first heard decades earlier, when Mitchell played it at her home in Los Angeles, shortly after it was written. “Most Christmas songs are light and shallow, but ‘River’ is a sad song,” Taylor said. “It starts with a description of a commercially produced version of Christmas in Los Angeles ... then juxtaposes it with this frozen river, which says, ‘Christmas here is bringing me down.’ It only mentions Christmas in the first verse. Then it’s, ‘Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on’ — wanting to fall into this landscape that she remembers. “It’s such a beautiful thing, to turn away from the commercial mayhem that Christmas becomes and just breathe in some pine needles. It’s a really blue song.” Which is exactly why Ball said he recorded it. “I’m not a big fan of Christmas, and I think there are a lot of people who feel a bit melancholy at the holiday,” he told The Post in 2006. “We’ve all sort of been there: It’s coming on Christmas, all that preparation is going on, and you just want to escape. You don’t want to buy into it. It’s a time of year that brings up a lot of memories for people, and if you’re missing somebody, it’s hardest at this time of year.” In some ways, it’s the perfect anti-Christmas song, running counter to the prevailing seasonal spirit.

Today is Monday, Dec. 23, the 357th day of 2013. There are eight days left in the year. Today’s highlight: On Dec. 23, 1913, the Federal Reserve System was created as President Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal Reserve Act. On this date: In 1788, Maryland passed an act to cede an area “not exceeding ten miles square” for the seat of the national government; about 2/3 of the area became the District of Columbia. In 1823, the poem “Account of a Visit from St. Nicholas” was published anonymously in the Troy (N.Y.) Sentinel; the verse, more popularly known as “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas,” was later attributed to Clement C. Moore. In 1893, the Engelbert Humperdinck opera “Haensel und Gretel” was first performed, in Weimar, Germany. In 1928, the National Broadcasting Company set up a permanent, coast-to-coast network. In 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt restored the civil rights of about 1,500 people who’d been jailed for opposing

the (First) World War. In 1941, during World War II, American forces on Wake Island surrendered to the Japanese. In 1948, former Japanese premier Hideki Tojo and six other Japanese war leaders were executed in Tokyo. In 1953, the Soviet Union announced the execution of Lavrentiy Beria, former head of the secret police, for treason. In 1962, Cuba began releasing prisoners from the failed Bay of Pigs invasion under an agreement in which Cuba received more than $50 million worth of food and medical supplies. In 1968, 82 crew members of the U.S. intelligence ship Pueblo were released by North Korea, 11 months after they had been captured. In 1972, in football’s “Immaculate Reception,” Franco Harris of the Pittsburgh Steelers caught a pass thrown by Terry Bradshaw and scored a touchdown after the ball was deflected during a collision between Jack Tatum of the Oakland Raiders and the Steelers’ John Fuqua; the Steelers won, 13-7.

Countless others have performed it in concert. But since smooth-jazz guitarist Peter White featured it on his 1997 set, “Songs of the Season,” the song has been included on dozens of Christmas albums, from Sarah McLachlan’s Grammynominated “Wintersong” to Train’s new “Christmas in Tahoe.” Last year, when Idina Menzel was promoting her “Holiday Wishes” album, the “Frozen” star said she recorded a version of “River” because “I needed to make sure that I included those people that are feeling some kind of loss or loneliness, because the holidays aren’t holly, jolly Christmas all the time, you know?” “It is a song I’ve grieved to, cried along with sung at the top of my voice too because it feels so good to do so,” British musician Beth Orton told the Wall Street Journal last year, when her “River” cover was included on Amazon.com’s misleadingly named holiday playlist, “All Is Bright.” “I would dedicate this song to those who are grieving the loss of a sense of place, loved ones, family,” she said, adding: “I can’t imagine wanting to cover any other song related to Christmas (except ‘Little Drummer Boy,’ of course!).” “I don’t know why it’s suddenly getting picked up as a Christmas song,” James Taylor told The Washington Post in 2006. “But some things just become identified as seasonal songs, and this is now one of them.”
