Better check the bananas: A science class at a New Jersey elementary school has adopted a 3-inch green anole lizard that a kindergartner discovered in her salad after it had been refrigerated for days (Page A10).

The White House later denied a Fox News report

A new home for treasures

Marysville Historical Society’s new digs scheduled to open March 19By Chris Winters

Herald Writer

MARYSVILLE — The new Marysville Historical Soci-ety museum has been under construction near Jennings Memorial Park for several years.

But the planning for the museum dates back to when the

society acquired the property in 1986 for $50,000. Prep work and design started in 1999.

Today, the museum is almost done. Piping and heating has been roughed in, the drywall is being installed. Next up will be painting, installing floors over the cement foundation, and hav-ing a grand opening March 19

to coincide with the city’s 125th anniversary celebrations.

On Monday, the Marys-ville City Council approved an agreement that will provide the society $50,000 in exchange for use of the new facility for meet-ings and overflow parking.

The agreement was adopted by a 5-1 vote. Councilman Stephen

Muller, who is one of the trustees, recused himself from voting.

Councilman Jeff Vaughan cast the lone dissenting vote, explaining that the request for city support could set a prec-edent for other groups.

OLYMPIA — A state ethics board has tossed out complaints against several former and cur-rent Department of Commerce officials accused of improperly steering a multimillion-dollar grant to a clean-energy project in Snohomish County.

The state Executive Ethics Board dismissed the complaints Jan. 15, determining they were “obviously unfounded or frivolous.”

The complaints were anony-mously filed in mid-July. They alleged that state officials had used their public positions to help the Snohomish County Public Util-ity District get a $7.3 million clean energy grant from the state. The PUD spent the grant money on a no-bid contract with 1Energy Sys-tems. The Seattle-based company employs two former Commerce officials and was started by Dave Kaplan, a former contractor for the department. All three were named in the complaints.

In a statement issued after the ethics board’s ruling earlier this month, 1Energy said “all of this has been more about anti-clean energy politics than any legitimate concern about wrong-doing. We are excited to return our complete focus to the cutting edge work that Washington State is enabling through its Clean Energy Fund program.”

The allegations came out of the PUD’s own ethics investigation last year into its no-bid contracts with 1Energy Systems. After leav-ing the Commerce Department,

The FBI and Oregon State Police on Tuesday arrested the leaders of an armed group that has occupied a national wild-life refuge for the past three weeks, conducting a traffic stop that prompted gunfire — and one death — along a highway through the frozen high country.

Militant leader Ammon Bundy and his followers were reportedly heading to a commu-nity meeting at the senior center in John Day, a Grant County town about 70 miles north of

Burns, to address local residents to discuss their views on federal management of public lands.

The Oregonian newspaper reported several hundred peo-ple had gathered at the John Day Senior Center on Tues-day evening and were told the “guest speakers” would not be appearing.

In a statement, the FBI and Oregon State Police said agents had made eight arrests: Bundy, 40; his brother Ryan Bundy, 43; Brian Cavalier, 44; Shawna Cox, 59; and Ryan Payne, 32, during a traffic stop on Highway 395 on Tuesday afternoon. Authori-ties said two others — Joseph

Donald O’Shaughnessy, 45, and Peter Santilli, 50 — were arrested separately in Burns, while FBI agents in Arizona arrested another, Jon Eric Ritzheimer, 32.

Each will face a federal felony charge of conspiracy to impede officers of the United States from discharging their official duties through the use of force, intim-idation or threats, authorities said. No indictments or federal charging documents had been made public.

Oregon State Police confirmed that its troopers were involved in the traffic-stop shooting, though

LOTTERY

A Tuesday story on page A3 incorrectly reported the number of concepts the city of Edmonds will consider for solving its down-town traffic issues. The number has yet to be determined.

to allocate funds to groups such as this,” he said, suggesting the city’s hotel-motel tax as one potential funding source.

Since November, the Historical Society has been running an “over-the-top” capital campaign to raise $150,000 to finish the museum, said society President Ken Cage.

The society has $75,000 left to go after the city’s support.

The 8,000-square-foot

building features a main exhibit room, named Rotary Grand Hall after the Rotary Club of Marys-ville gave the project an early financial boost with a $250,000 donation.

The building also has meeting rooms, a small kitchen, smaller exhibit spaces and an upstairs office.

The Grand Hall already bears the outlines of what will be a cityscape, with exhibits framed by build-ing facades resembling a church, a car dealership, a pharmacy and a telephone store.

The exhibits won’t be

moved in until work is completed, which isn’t expected until later in the summer. The only item from the society’s massive collection on site is a totem pole from Sitka, Alaska, that a local family donated several years ago. It will eventually stand in a cor-ner of the main room.

“They have far more stuff than there is room for,”

Cage said.The society closed its

former storefront location on Third Street downtown a year ago and rolled the money that would have been spent on rent into construction of the new building. The exhibits, ranging from vintage tele-phone equipment to boxes of old photographs, were put into storage.

By the time all the work on the new museum is completed, Cage said the Historical Society expects it will have spent about $800,000 in cash, all raised through bake sales, yard sales and other donations.

In addition, much of the labor has been donated.

Once in-kind donations are factored in, Cage esti-mated the building will be worth $1.2 million.

“It’s going to make it truly a really good commu-nity project,” Cage said.

Kaplan worked at the PUD before resigning to run 1Energy.

An independent inves-tigator found that PUD officials and Kaplan broke the district’s ethics policy by failing to take adequate steps to avoid the appear-ance of favoritism.

The state ethics board determined that it did not have jurisdiction to con-sider the complaint filed against Kaplan because he was a contractor and not a state employee.

“We make an ini-tial determination of jurisdiction. If we don’t have jurisdiction, we don’t dig any further,” the board’s Executive Director Kate Reynolds said.

It did investigate seven other complaints, includ-ing those about three former officials working for private companies working on projects funded in part

by the state Clean Energy Fund. Two — former state Commerce Director Rogers Weed and former Deputy Director Daniel Malarkey — work at 1Energy.

Weed joined the com-pany’s board of advisors in July 2013, five months after leaving Commerce. In April 2014, he became an executive at the com-pany. Malarkey left his state job and went to work for 1Energy in September 2013. In his new position, he helped put together the PUD’s grant application.

Another former state offi-cial, Michael Carr, helped launch the state’s Clean Energy Fund while work-ing at the department. He is now an attorney with UniE-nergy Technologies, a PUD subcontractor through 1Energy Systems.

Weed and Malar-key responded to the complaints for the ethics board investigation, which also reviewed two years of their emails from when they worked for the state.

In a report submitted to the board, Reynolds said

that Malarkey helped draft a “policy memo” on how the Clean Energy Fund could be structured.

“Other than the memo, there is no indication that Mr. Malarkey was involved with legislation” that created the fund, she con-cluded. “Further, there was no evidence provided that Mr. Malarkey was involved with developing the application process, the evaluation of applicants, or the selection of the recipi-ents” of the funds.

Weed left state service before the Legislature cre-ated the fund, according to the investigation.

And, Reynolds wrote, he “did not have a role in the evaluation or selection of the recipients of the funds.”

Carr was not involved in the awarding of grants to the PUD and two other utilities. He did participate in negotiations between Commerce and the three utilities on the con-tracts accompanying the grants, according to the investigation.

Reynolds concluded that

while Carr in his work at UniEnergy Technologies does “on occasion” discuss matters related to the Clean Energy Fund with lawmak-ers, “it appears he has not had any involvement” with any grants handed out dur-ing his time with the state, she concluded.

The board also dismissed complaints against current Commerce Director Brian Bonlender and Assistant Director Tony Usibelli, and two former department officials — Melanie Ander-son, a former contracts manager, and Rick Locke, former executive director of the Office of Economic Development and Com-petitiveness. It determined the four simply performed their jobs relating to the Clean Energy Fund.

While the complaints have been dismissed, the Legislature must further scrutinize a grant-making process which allowed mil-lions of taxpayer dollars to flow to a company domi-nated by former public officials, a state lawmaker said Tuesday.

“There is still a great per-ception out in the public that you have executive branch people going from job to job, grant to grant and the money follows them,” said Sen. Doug Ericksen, R-Ferndale, who is chairman of the Sen-ate Energy, Environment and Telecommunications Committee.

“I’m not trying to attack any individuals,” he said. “But I think there is a prob-lem in this process and they took advantage of the way the system is set up and we need to examine if that sys-tem needs to be changed.”

The state has already made some changes to how it will award a sec-ond round of Clean Energy Fund grants.

In Everett, PUD officials are focused on the work at hand, the district’s General Manager and CEO Craig Collar said.

The district continues “to build on the success of the first phase of our energy storage program” — with 1Energy as lead contractor, he said.

The utility looks “forward to breaking ground on the next phase of the effort this year,” he said. “We remain committed to executing these important energy storage efforts as efficiently and effectively as possible.”

Unveiling of mural

A 200-square-foot mural in the Camano Sculpture Park at Terry’s Corner is set to be revealed to the public Feb. 1.

The mural involved 30 artists and 24 businesses. It’s a collection of square-shaped pieces created by local artists and then digitally pieced together to form a large map of Camano Island. There

will be a rotating advertisement display for local businesses.

The mural represents how nature, art and business intersect on the island, director Danny Koffman said.

MARYSVILLE — The Marys-ville City Council on Monday passed an ordinance that would ban possession, sale or use of fireworks within the city, starting January 2017.

The measure establishes fines for civil violations that range from $103 during the first year the ordinance up to $513 after two years.

In addition, selling fireworks, and setting off com-mercial-grade or dangerous fireworks, would be considered misdemeanors.

Because of the way state law is written, any local ordinance that is stricter than state law has

a one-year waiting period before it becomes effective. The law is intended to protect people and businesses who purchase large amounts of fireworks in advance from having the figurative rug pulled out from under them at the last minute.

The measure is the latest step in a years-long process that has seen gradual tightening of the rules.

In November, an advisory measure asked voters whether the council should ban fire-works. The measure passed 59.25 percent to 40.75 percent, with 10,004 ballots cast.

That followed the hot and dry summer of 2015. Numer-ous brush fires were caused by fireworks.

But that didn’t make the deci-sion any easier for the council members. The Mountain View Assembly of God Church sells fireworks — the church’s biggest fundraiser of the year.

The fireworks revenue will just leave the city, youth pastor Bran-don Hart said. “Many people at Boom City will still be selling fireworks like crazy, but those that are trying to do it for a good reason are gone,” Hart said.

Many people testified about their neighborhoods becom-ing war zones several days in advance of and following July 4, even though the current city code restricts fireworks to Inde-pendence Day and New Year’s Eve.

Fireworks also are getting

larger and louder, Marysville res-ident Robert Weiss said.

“At this point I don’t think any-thing short of an outright ban will have any effect,” Weiss said.

Councilman Jeff Vaughan said he was torn, because he agreed in part about the potential for danger.

“I love fireworks. I love shoot-ing off fireworks,” Vaughan said. “I am scared to death to be away from my house on the Fourth of July.”

Nevertheless, Vaughan voted against the ban, along with Rob Toyer and Kamille Norton.

Councilman Stephen Muller, in supporting the ban, said that he’d lost a dog who ran away

Tolls have helped buses travel-ing I-405 shave some time off their routes, a key goal to help make what transit is available more reli-able and attractive to commuters.

About 4,200 people get on buses traveling I-405 each weekday. During the morning commute,

their rides are from 5 to 7 min-utes shorter, on average, than they were a year ago, and 3 to 5 minutes faster during the evening com-mute back north.

Some trips saw even more dra-matic improvement, by as much as 16 minutes.

“Our buses are going faster, there’s no doubt,” said Mar-tin Munguia, a spokesman for

Community Transit, which oper-ates the two Sound Transit routes on I-405.

Still, buses are only going faster in the toll lanes.

“The problem comes when they have to exit and get into the gen-eral purpose lanes — and people really don’t like to let a bus in front of them,” Munguia said.

As soon as buses have to slog

over that congestion, nearly all the time they’ve spent zooming through the toll lane disappears in a brakelight-lit haze.

Commuters driving alone or in a carpool report similar angst when they have to get out of the toll lanes to reach their exits, which are sometimes still a mile or more off.

Folks at the Washington State

Department of Transportation encourage drivers to stay in the toll lanes and exit at a direct-access ramp instead. Even if it means backtracking, it could save time.

“The direct access ramps in Bel-levue and Totem Lake still are not as popular an option as merging

EVERETT — The Snohom-ish County PUD is giving a boost to budding young scientists and engineers with grants worth a total of $6,222 to 13 local public schools.

The Public Utility District awarded up to $500 to each school to pay for classroom proj-ects in the current school year.

The schools include four in the Edmonds School District, three in Mukilteo, two in Everett, two in Lake Stevens, one in Marysville and one in Monroe.

Students at Brier Elementary will build solar cars to learn about engineering and energy produc-tion. Teacher Shannon Gonsalves applied for the award.

Fourth graders at Edmonds Elementary will learn about and build electrical circuits. They will also learn about renewable and nonrenewable energy sources. Teachers Christy Diefendorf and Karyn Heinekin applied for the grant.

Teacher Anna Walter at Martha Lake Elementary plans to use the award money to help her fourth grade students build models of working wind turbines. They will also design and conduct experi-ments with electrical circuits.

At Meadowdale Middle School, Diana Browne plans to use the PUD grant to help her students in the seventh and eighth grades learn about transforming power into energy and moving it. They will be able to work with a water turbine model to learn about hydropower generation, the big-gest source of electricity in the Pacific Northwest.

In Everett, Penny Creek Ele-mentary teacher Deb Strong plans to use the money to help teach her students about trans-ferring and transforming energy. She also plans to have her fourth- and fifth-graders build Rube Goldberg machines to learn about the engineering process.

At View Ridge Elementary, Richelle Shively plans to use the award for experiments using solar energy through an after-school STEM (science, technology, engi-neering and math) club, which is open to students from kindergar-ten through fifth grade.

Teacher Patrick Walker at Highland Elementary aims to use the grant to help fifth grade students learn about generating and using solar energy. A solar cell on the school’s roof will turn sunlight into electricity, which students will use to power every-day devices.

Students at Hillcrest Elemen-tary will work with teacher

Unlike Flint, our water is safe, thanks to regulations

Everett isn’t Flint, far from it. Still, coverage of the Michi-gan city’s lead-in-the-water

disaster reminds me of a time, more than 20 years ago, when lead testing was a hot topic here.

It was 1992. Everett was testing tap water in homes to comply with new federal Environmental Protection Agency rules. In 1986, amendments to the Safe Drink-ing Water Act brought updated regulations. They included new monitoring of certain sub-stances, and restrictions on lead in solder and plumbing.

“We still do that,” Marla Carter, spokeswoman for the Ever-ett Public Works Department,

said of residential water testing. It doesn’t happen annually, but testing of water from 125 Everett homes was done in 2015, and before that in 2012, Carter said Monday.

The EPA’s action level for lead

is 15 parts per billion. According to The Detroit Free Press, lead levels in Flint after its supply was switched from Lake Huron’s treated water to the Flint River were as high as 2,516 parts per billion. Made to save money, the

switch has been reversed. Levels of highly toxic lead are falling in Flint’s water, the Free Press reported Sunday.

What about Everett’s water? It comes from Spada Lake Res-ervoir, at the headwaters of the Sultan River. The city’s water system supplies 80 percent of Snohomish County, including the Alderwood Water District in south county. Lead in our water comes from plumbing, not the source.

“Many samples test at zero,” Carter said. The highest lead level found in the most recent

exits for Snohomish County drivers. Many drivers may still be unaware of the benefits of this option,” said Ethan Bergerson, a spokesman.

The direct-access ramps, which are left-hand exits, work great for buses, too, agreed Munguia. The prob-lem is, there need to be more — particularly for buses tied to fixed routes, where the direct-access ramps might be miles out of the way.

“Of course, that costs a lot of money,” Munguia conceded.

And that’s only one rea-son more direct access won’t come any time soon.

WSDOT’s priority proj-ects for I-405 include direct ramps that will connect the express lanes with the HOV lanes on Highway 520, Highway 522 and I-90.

Beyond that, the long-term master plan for I-405 includes rebuilding the Highway 527 interchange, which would include direct-access ramps.

But like other big-ticket transportation projects in Snohomish County, there’s not even a guess for when that might happen.

“We understand the need for further improvements in the north end of the cor-ridor beyond our priority projects. Once we complete the projects on the list, we will identify additional priorities which may include this project,” said Amy Danberg, a WSDOT spokeswoman.

In the meantime,

bus-only shoulder lanes on two sections of southbound I-405 also aim to help tran-sit between exits during the morning rush.

In minutes, the benefit of the toll lanes to transit is roughly equivalent to what drivers in the general pur-pose lanes have seen in the 17-mile corridor where toll lanes run, from Lynnwood to Bellevue. State figures show traffic in the south-bound regular lanes moving 7 minutes faster than they were in 2014, and 1 minute faster northbound, thanks in large part to the further

expansion of the interstate south of the county line. Drivers who use the toll lanes for the full 17 miles save an average of 14 minutes.

State figures only include time spent on I-405.

Transit figures cover the full length of routes, including time spent off I-405. Route 535 includes a pit stop at the University of Washington Bothell, for example. Route 532 travels a big chunk of I-5.

Time savings varied widely between individual trips on the two routes. A handful of bus trips saw no improvement post-tolling, while others saw double-digit gains. Several factors feed travel times, includ-ing time spent loading and unloading passengers.

An example of a bright spot was the Route 532 bus leaving Everett Station at 7:05 a.m., which reached its last stop in Bellevue 68 minutes later, on aver-age, during October and November 2015. It was a 14-minute improvement over the average travel time a year earlier, even with an increase in ridership.

Just two Sound Transit routes serve Snohomish County on I-405. There are twice the number of routes and trips serving Snohom-ish County on I-5.

Still, the time savings on I-405 “is significant,” Mun-guia said.

And not just for the com-muters who step on board.

“When you consider that Routes 532 and 535 have about 20 trips per day in each direction, that would add up to a tangible cost saving in operations over the course of a year,” Mun-guia added.

Better bus ridesBuses on two Sound Transit routes that serve Snohomish County on I-405 reach their destina-tions faster since tolling began — on average, from 3 minutes to 7 min-utes faster than before. Here are the top trips for improvement:Southbound1. ST 532 leaving Everett Station at 6:15 a.m. (16 minutes)2. ST 535 leaving Lyn-nwood Transit Center at 8:18 a.m. (15 minutes)3.

one Fourth of July. He also said that money issues — whether a church raises funds with them or people shop at Boom City on the Tulalip Indian Reservation — are beside the point.

“I used to leave town on the Fourth with my dog, but I can’t leave for three weeks,” Muller said. “It’s gotten out of control. It isn’t about the money; it’s about the quality of life.”

He acknowledged that a ban won’t solve all the city’s fireworks problems, but it would give the police the

ability to enforce the most problematic incidents.

Vaughan also raised the prospect that an outright ban on possession would punish people in Marys-ville who buy fireworks elsewhere to set off outside the city if they happen to be caught with them in their car inside the city limits.

Police Chief Rick Smith said that enforcement would be focused on those who intend to shoot off fireworks within city limits.

“There’s the letter of the law versus the spirit of the law. Certainly we’ll con-sider the spirit of the law in moving forward,” Smith said.

He added the ban on possession is necessary to

give police the ability to confiscate any fireworks they come across, such as when people are setting them off and drinking.

Some people, as well as Vaughan, said the city might consider designat-ing an area away from neighborhoods where people could set off small fireworks. That suggestion wasn’t taken up Monday, but could be revisited.

The Legislature also is considering amending state law to remove the one-year waiting period, but even if that occurred, the Marysville council would need to pass another ordinance amending the city code if they wanted to enact the ban earlier.

home testing was 8 parts per billion. At the 90th per-centile of homes tested, the level was 2 parts per billion.

That’s good news as Flint’s disaster continues to grab headlines. Lead is most dangerous to young children. It can cause learning and behavior problems, slow growth, and affect physical health. It can also cause prema-ture births.

The Flint crisis reminds me why I always run the water before taking a drink. My tap-running habit dates to The Her-ald’s 1992 coverage of local lead testing.

In October 1992, after lead tests were conducted in Everett, public works officials shared these tips:

Flush pipes by not drinking the first water out of the tap in the morning, or after water has been standing in a fixture for several hours. Don’t drink water from a hot tap, as hot water carries more lead. And if using infant formula, mix it with cold water and heat

it once it’s made.The federal Centers

for Disease Control and Prevention suggests that in homes where testing shows lead levels higher than 15 parts per billion, people should run the cold tap for at least a min-ute or two before drinking.

Carter said Everett’s home testing involves running the tap, then let-ting it sit for a minimum of six hours, and taking the sample from the first water out of the tap.

In March of 1992, to comply with new EPA requirements, Ever-ett Public Works sent letters to people in the Harborview-Seahurst neighborhood asking them to take part in home drinking-water tests. The testing targeted lead from copper pipes, particu-larly those with tin-lead soldered joints, according to articles by then-Herald writer Jim Haley.

Solder containing lead was effectively banned from use in drinking water systems in 1986. The Harborview-Seahurst area raised concern because many homes

there were built in the early 1980s — before the changes in rules — using tin-lead solder and per-haps fixtures containing lead.

Much older homes often have plumbing with a corrosion built up through the years. Carter said that coating helps keep lead from leaching into drinking water.

During those ini-tial 1992 tests, 19 of 68 samples in Everett showed lead levels of at least 15 parts per billion. In 2015, no local sample tested that high — a big improvement in 20-plus years.

One way the system makes changes is by adjusting levels of soda ash (sodium carbonate) added to water as cor-rosion treatment, Carter said. Plumbing regulations have helped, too.

How often do we hear gripes about federal regulations or govern-ment spending? Take a hard look at Flint. A whole generation there may suffer from reckless budget-cutting.

I haven’t had the water in my 1909 house tested for lead. I should. In the meantime, I run the tap before I drink.

“I do it, too,” Carter said.

OLYMPIA — The Wash-ington House has passed a bill that would allow retired teachers to substi-tute for up to 630 hours a year without losing retire-ment benefits.

The Longview Daily News reported The

measure passed Monday on a vote of 96-1 and now moves on to the Senate.

State Rep. Ed Orcutt, R-Kalama, sponsored the bill he believes would be good for kids and school districts. He said it will put qualified teachers into classrooms while many districts are having

trouble hiring qualified substitutes.

According to the Office of Superintendent of Pub-lic Instruction, 98 percent of principals indicated they struggle to find sub-stitute teachers. As a result, 80 percent say they had to hire under-quali-fied people for the jobs.

EVERETT — An emer-gency ordinance that would put a morato-rium on new marijuana businesses opening in Everett has been pulled from Wednesday’s Ever-ett City Council agenda.

One or more coun-cil members will be absent that day, and the decision was made to postpone any action until the full council could assemble to dis-cuss the measure.

The potential mora-torium is being debated

because the state is believed likely to raise the cap on the number of shops that could operate in Everett from five to 10.

The measure is likely to be on the council’s agenda Feb. 3, although the agenda has not been finalized.

EVERETT — The Everett Fire Department contin-ues to investigate a fatal fire that happened Mon-day along Ocean Drive.

Determining the cause and where the fire started could take several more

days, Fire Marshal Rick Robinson said.

The house, built in 1935, was a total loss. The damage is estimated at $250,000.

The Snohomish County Medical Examiner’s Office on Tuesday confirmed that Michael E. Elke, 76,

was the man whose body was pulled from the fire.

He died from smoke inhalation, and his death was ruled an accident.

The fire was reported just after 1:30 p.m. Mon-day. It was the third fatal fire in Everett since Dec. 31.

MONROE — A Monroe-area woman whose body was found Jan. 20 in the Skykomish River drowned, the Snohomish County Medical Examiner’s Office reported Tuesday.

Marianne Humble, 53, dropped from sight Jan. 18.

Her body was found in the Skykomish River near her home along High Bridge Road, between Monroe and Maltby.

neither agency released details about what started it. One of those arrested, described only as a man, suffered non-life-threat-ening wounds and was treated at a hospital, the agencies said. Another man “who was a subject of a federal probable cause arrest” was killed, they said. The agencies said they would not release further information about the death pending iden-tification by the medical examiner.

Ammon Bundy’s group, which has included people

from as far away as Ari-zona and Michigan, seized the headquarters of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge on Jan. 2 as part of a long-running dispute over public lands in the West. Law enforcement officers converged on the wildlife refuge after the arrests and were expected to remain at the site throughout the night; it was unclear how many people, if any, remained in the buildings.

The confrontation came amid increasing calls for law enforcement to take action against Bundy for the illegal occupation of the wildlife refuge. They previously had taken a hands-off approach, reflecting lessons learned during bloody standoffs at Waco, Texas, and Ruby Ridge, Idaho, during the 1990s.

Many residents of Harney County, where the refuge is located, have been among those demanding that Bundy leave. Many sympathize with his criticism of fed-eral land management policies of public lands but opposed the refuge takeover. They feared vio-lence could erupt.

Ammon Bundy recently had begun traveling into Grant County to try to drum up more sympathy for his cause.

“I am pleased that the

FBI has listened to the concerns of the local com-munity and responded to the illegal activity occur-ring in Harney County by outside extremists,” Ore-gon Sen. Jeff Merkley said in a written statement. “The leaders of this group are now in custody and I hope that the remaining individuals occupying the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge will peacefully sur-render so this community can begin to heal the deep wounds that this illegal activity has created over the last month.”

The Bundys are the sons of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, who was involved in a high-profile 2014 standoff with the govern-ment over grazing rights.

The state police said it would investigate the officer-involved shoot-ing, with help from the Deschutes County Major Incident Team and the Harney County District Attorney’s Office.

The militants, call-ing themselves Citizens for Constitutional Free-dom, came to the frozen high desert of eastern Oregon to decry what it calls onerous federal land restrictions and to object to the prison sentences of two local ranchers con-victed of setting fires.

Specifically, the group wanted federal lands turned over to local authorities. The U.S. gov-ernment controls about half of all land in the West.

The Seattle Times

reported the shooting hap-pened Tuesday night near Airport Way South and South Atlantic Street south of downtown.

Police are searching for at least one person connected with the incident. Roads in the area are closed. At a

press conference address-ing homelessness Tuesday night, Seattle Mayor Ed Murray called the shooting an active crime scene and urged people to stay away from the area.

No other details were immediately available.

Mukilteo Chamber Italy meeting set for Jan. 28

ReRR talesThe story behind your local neighborhood business.

SPONSORED CONTENT

The art of leisure trav-el is both connection and disconnection.

Once we pack our bags, plan our itinerary and board our aircraft, we disconnect from the routine of our respective lives and begin the recharging process that vacations o� er. � e Mukilteo Chamber of Com-merce once again will o� er the luxury of traveling to a di� erent country, experi-encing a diverse culture and language, and having an opportunity to explore Italy. � at is the connection.

In 2015, the Chamber took 25 travelers to China which was a journey of epic proportion for each person. We walked the Great Wall of China, with indentations in the stone steps from literally thousands of years of foot tra� c. To retrace where travelers from a bygone era had walked was remarkable as was entering � e Forbid-den City or exploring the Ming Tombs. � ese ancient locales contrasted sharply with the modern skyline of � e Bund in Shanghai. All in all, it was an unforgetta-ble trip.

In September 2016, the Chamber will o� er a second extraordinary opportunity for world travel. � is year’s destination will take us east, across the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean coun-try of Italy. Our nine-day

journey will take us through Rome, and on to the Tuscan region.

Tuscany is located in central Italy between the Apennine Mountains and the Tyrrhenian Sea. From long sandy beaches to olive groves and wine vineyards, Tuscany is arguably one of the most scenic settings worldwide. Added to that,

the medieval villages and historic churches and land-marks entice visitors with their signi� cant antiquities.

Although full, this year’s itinerary allows for on-your-own exploration for our travelers. Upon arrival at the city of Montecatini Terme, we will check into the Hotel Manzoni locat-ed in the heart of the city.

� is region is known for its thermal spas and curative waters, making it a popular destination. Of the seven days in this area, there will be at least three optional day trips that travelers may sign up for. Imagine cruising on the Mediterra-nean Sea to Cinque Terre or traveling through a pictur-esque countryside toward Chianti for a wine tasting. And of course, a Tuscan visit would not be complete without a photo op of the famed Leaning Tower of Pisa. A variety of locales (Siena, Lucca, San Gimi-gnano to name a few) will delight our travelers, but if a relaxed environment is more appealing, then enjoy a limoncello on the terrace before stepping into a salt-water pool. � at option is available rather leaving the property and sounds pretty wonderful!

Two extra days in Rome are an optional addition to the trip itinerary. Once the travel party returns to Rome, those who wish to � y home may do so. For trav-elers remaining in Rome, there will be two additional days of touring the Eternal City. � ere will be indepen-dent exploration along with a guided tour of Imperial Rome, including stops at the Forum, Colosseum, Vat-ican Museum, and Sistine Chapel.

� e nine-day itinerary to Tuscany will cost $2,690 which includes double oc-cupancy accommodations, 11 meals, English-speak-ing guide, entrance at all sightseeing spots, and arrival/departure transfers. Additional charges will be added for optional tours, as

will be for two additional days in Rome.

On Jan. 28, 6 p.m., an informational meeting will be held at the Chamber o� ce for interested parties. Please contact the o� ce at 425-347-1456 or email: [email protected] for additional questions.

John Ward LynchSept. 29, 1923- Jan. 19, 2016

Beloved father, son, brother, and friend, died peacefully with family at his side. A l l who knew and loved h im w i l l so re l y m iss h i s generous smile, bounti ful creativity, intense curiosity, and his loving heart. Ward was born in Lakeview, Oregon, t h e e l d e s t s o n b o r n t o Everett and Dorothy Lynch (Ward) . He moved to the Por t land, Ore . area as a young chi ld and attended school there until he moved to Tonasket, Wash. where he received his diploma from Tonasket High School. With Wo r l d Wa r I I r a g i n g , h e joined the Merchant Marines where he saw duty in the Phi l ippines and the por ts and convoys in the Pacific Theater. He took pride in his shaved head after crossing t h e E qu a to r, a t r a d i t i o n in the Navy and Merchant Marines. He met his f i rst w i f e , C o n s t a n c e Ly n c h (Dieffenbach), during a port call in Seattle, Wash. She took his heart and name before he went back to sea. Upon h is return , he set t led in Tonasket with his new wife and first born child, Caroline. He owned a Record Store in Tonasket for a number of years where his daughters, Catherine ( L o r r a i n e ) , J a n e E l l e n , and Elizabeth, were born. He and h is fami l y moved to Mountlake Terrace, Wash. in 1954 where he worked at Ke l l y ’ s Te lev is ion Repa i r shop in the Loyal Heights area of Seattle until 1956 when he took a position at Boeing Airplane Manufacture in Seattle. He spent the next 29 years supporting a growing family. He and his wife Constance’s f a m i l y c o n t i n u e d t o g r o w w i t h T h o m a s , Christopher and Christina (the t w i n s ) , M i c h a e l , P e t e r , Theresa, and Anthony. He turned to art in his mid 40s, an interest he had had since his youth. Ward was we l l known for h is three d i m e n s i o n a l m a c r a m é hangings and inclusion of local material and of other artists’ wo rk s i n to h i s ow n . H i s macrame led to an in interest in jewelry and fine metal work. He soon found another passion and s tar ted teaching ar t classes. In 1973 he lost his first wife of 29 years, Constance, to cancer. He met his second wife, Barbara Dar i lek (Bove la ) shortly after and found new love and more children, as B a r b a r a h a d fo u r yo u n g children, Angela, Paul, Ronald, and Diane. A family vacation led to an oppor tunity in Okanogan, Wash. which Ward thought too good to miss. He purchased a rock and gem shop and he and new wife Barbara, a l o n g w i t h t h e i r s e v e n youngest children relocated to Okanogan. The Okanogan Artisan rose from the ashes of the Rock a n d G e m S h o p h e h a d p u r c h a s e d i n 1 976 . H e continued his artwork expanding into different mediums and techniques. For many years he taught numerous classes devoted to ar t history and technique part time at the local Community College in Omak , Wash . and a t h i s business in Okanogan. His attention was then captured by the local Omak Community T h e a t e r w h e r e h e w a s able to provide the knowl-

edge and expertise learned from many years in electronics and ar t to instal l theater lighting and direction which continued for many years. With the departure of their o f f s p r i n g a n d B a r b a r a ’ s retirement, they moved to Everson, Wash. where he continued his art and teaching up until his last days. Ward had many interests and found the most joy in teaching and shar ing h is love of ar t and the world around him with his many friends, students, and children. Ward is sur v ived by h is wife, Barbara; his daughters, Lorraine Tedrow, Jane Ellen Ly n c h , E l i z a b e t h Ly n c h , Chr i s t ina Lee , Anastas ia Miller, Angela Doty (Darilek), Diane (Dari lek) McKinney; his sons, Tom, Christopher, M i c h a e l , Pe te r, A n t h o ny Lynch, and Ron and Paul D a r i l e k ; a n d n u m e r o u s g randch i ld ren and g rea t g randchi ldren; and many s o n s a n d d a u g h t e r s h e “adopted” along the way.

Robert “Bob” Friend Robert “Bob” Friend, age 93, passed away peacefully on Saturday, Januar y 23, 2016. He was born on September 2, 1922, in Daly City, Calif., the eighth child of Grover and Tillie Friend. The family moved to the Pacific North- west in 1929 and he re - mained here the rest of his life. He served in the Civilian Conservation Corp in 1940 and was very proud of the work done by that organization. He traveled to Guam, the Philippines, Hawaii and t h e S o u t h P a c i f i c a s a construction worker prior to joining the Marines. During WWII he ach ieved the rank o f Sargent and served in China. He was very proud that he was a “China Marine”. After WWII he went back on the road doing construction in Alaska. In 1949 he met Barbara Dana and in April 1951 he married her and said it was the best thing he ever did in his life. He was blessed by the birth of his first daughter, Pa t r i c i a ( Pa t t y ) i n 19 5 2 and in 1954, with the birth o f h i s s e c o n d d a u g h te r, Cynthia (Cindy). Theirs was a busy household with a lot of love and activity. B ob c on t i n ue d to work construction until 1968 when he s ta r ted work ing a t Scot t P a p e r C o m p a n y a n d subsequently retired from Scott Paper in 1985. Bob always had to have something to do , so a f te r re t i r i ng , he volunteered for the Diabetes Assoc iat ion stock ing and collecting the candy donation boxes. He enjoyed get-ting out and seeing the people on h is route. He enjoyed hunting and fishing with his friends and family and often went to Idaho for an annual

ou t ing . One o f the most remarkable memories of Bob was mowing and trimming his very large lawn up until 92. It would take him hours, sometimes having to quit and restar t the next day when he got his strength back, but he didn’t want any help. Bob and Barbara enjoyed many activities together with their “road” trips being the most enjoyable. The tr ips consisted of a main staple of ice cream and burgers as well as many visits to an- t ique s tores . Bob a lways found a local to talk to and asked what they did and why they were there. Each trip had a wealth of information and he always had a story to tell. They loved traveling the Oregon Coast, visit ing his Marine friends and families in San Francisco, and Patty and Ty in San Diego, Calif. In 1964 he put a camper on the back of his truck, loaded the family and spent f ive weeks on the road visiting friends in Wisconsin, family in Washington DC and as- sorted cousins and friends a l l t h e way b a c k to t h e Nor thwest . Th is t r ip was highlighted by ice cream and swimming pools . He said this was the trip of a l ife- t i m e ! He was a proud l i fet ime m e m b e r o f t h e M a s o n i c Lodge for over 50 years and was a 32nd degree Mason. H e l e a v e s b e h i n d h i s daughter, Patty (Ty) Wernet; s ister, Els ie (Bi l l ) Hanson a n d b r o t h e r, V i c ( J e a n ) Friend; many fr iends, and friends that were like family, specifically Duane Bly and Dave Neyens. His wife of 61 years, Bar- bara Dana Friend, daughter Cindy Holler, granddaughter Heather Callan, two sisters, and six brothers preceded him in death. The family would l ike to thank the people of Moun- tain View Rehabilitation Cen- ter for their loving and compassionate care of Bob during the last part of his journey here on earth.

ACROSS THE U.S.

AROUND THE WORLD

By Juan A. LozanoAssociated Press

HOUSTON — A grand jury’s decision to indict two anti-abortion activists who made undercover videos about Planned Parenthood might be less about sending someone to jail than about expressing disapproval for how the pair conducted their investigation, legal experts said Tuesday.

David Daleiden and San-dra Merritt are accused of using fake driver’s licenses to infiltrate the nation’s larg-est abortion provider in order to make videos that accused Planned Parent-hood of illegally selling fetal tissue to researchers for profit. The footage provoked outrage among Republi-can leaders nationwide and prompted investigations by

Republican-led committees in Congress and by GOP-led state governments.

Both activists are charged with tampering with a gov-ernmental record, a felony punishable by up to 20 years in prison. Daleiden also was indicted on a misdemeanor count related to purchasing human organs.

Daleiden’s attorney, Mur-phy Klasing, said the activists, who live in California, plan to come to Houston’s Harris County Jail, where they will be processed and allowed to post bond. Klasing said he did not know when that will happen.

Daleiden plans to plead not guilty to the charges, Klasing said.

Legal experts say the two are not likely to see any prison time if convicted.

“It’s really citizens scold-ing what they thought was a political investigation. Look at what they indicted them on,” said Ekow N. Yankah, a law professor at Cardozo School of Law in New York. “They indicted them on a misdemeanor of falsifying a government document, for presenting the fake ID to get in for the story.”

“If we’re being frank,” he added, “that is not a grand jury that is looking to bring the hammer down because you’ve done some grave, grave thing.”

The video footage showed the two posing as represen-tatives of a company called BioMax, which purport-edly procured fetal tissue for research.

Planned Parenthood has said that the fake company sent an agreement offering to pay

the “astronomical amount” of $1,600 for organs from a fetus.

The Houston Planned Par-enthood clinic said it never entered into the agreement and ceased contact with Bio-Max because it was “disturbed” by the overtures.

The grand jury’s investiga-tion was initially begun by the Harris County district attor-ney’s office in Houston to look into Planned Parenthood. But the grand jury concluded the nation’s largest abor-tion provider committed no wrongdoing.

“We must go where the evidence leads us,” said Har-ris County District Attorney Devon Anderson, an elected Republican.

The Texas video was the fifth released by the Center for Med-ical Progress, which Daleiden founded.

Experts: Indictments show disapproval

By Amy Taxin and Gillian Flaccus

Associated Press

SANTA ANA, Calif. — One of three fugitive inmates who escaped from a Califor-nia jail last week was ordered deported to Vietnam in 1998 but has been in this country racking up a lengthy rap sheet, immigration officials said Tuesday.

Bac Duong, 43, came to the United States legally in 1991 but was ordered removed seven years later, Immigration and Customs Enforcement said in a statement.

The order came shortly after he served time in state prison on a 1997 burglary conviction, state records show.

The case is one of thou-sands involving immigrants

convicted of crimes who fed-eral authorities want to deport but haven’t been able to because their native countries wouldn’t take them back.

In 2012, ex-convict Binh Thai Luc was charged with killing five people in San Francisco after Vietnam didn’t issue the travel documents needed to repatriate him.

Immigration officials said they took Duong into custody in 2003 and released him the following year. He continued to check in with authorities as required until 2014, the state-ment said.

During that time, he also faced a series of charges involving burglary and drug possession and did stints in state prison. Last year, he was charged with attempted mur-der and assault in the shooting

of a man out-side a home in Santa Ana.

Federal offi-cials can’t keep immi-grants locked up indefinitely while they await deportation. Most must be released after six months, except those accused of pos-ing a terrorist threat or deemed especially dangerous.

For many years, Viet-nam did not honor U.S. government requests to repa-triate deportees. In 2008, Vietnam agreed to provide travel documents for deportees but only those who entered the U.S. since July 1995.

Duong escaped from the Orange County jail on Fri-day along with Jonathan

Tieu, 20, and Hossein Nayeri, 37, by sawing through a quarter-inch thick grill on a dormitory wall and climb-ing through plumbing tunnels to reach an unguarded area of the roof. There, the men rap-pelled to the ground using bed linen ropes.

All three are considered dan-gerous and were awaiting trial in separate violent crimes.

Tieu had been held at the county jail since 2013, accused of murder and attempted murder.

Nayeri was arrested in 2014 on charges including kidnap-ping and torture. Authorities said he abducted a marijuana dealer, burned him with a blow torch and cut off his penis because Nayeri thought the man had buried money in the desert.

Bac Duong

By Franco OrdonezMcClatchy Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON — An obscure mosquito-borne virus that has prompted warnings in Central America to avoid get-ting pregnant and is thought responsible for thousands of birth defects in Brazil has now reached the United States, according to health officials.

The Centers for Disease Con-trol and Prevention said U.S. doctors should test newborns who show signs of the Zika virus, especially in states such as Florida where mosquitoes are a daily nuisance.

The advisory came the same day that Arkansas officials con-firmed that they had diagnosed someone there with the virus and warned it was possible that the virus had infected the local mosquito population.

Health officials also said a Virginia resident who traveled outside the United States has tested positive for Zika. Health Commissioner Dr. Marissa Levine said the person poses no risk to other residents

The dual announcements mark the latest twist in a bur-geoning public health crisis that evokes memories of the 2014 Ebola crisis, when a slow international response to an unusually virulent outbreak of disease ended up costing the lives of thousands.

The threat from the Zika virus, which causes fever, rash and joint pain, is not so much to those who con-tract it, but to their unborn children, who often suffer from microcephaly, a birth defect characterized by an unusually small head and developmental problems. As many as 4,000 infants in Brazil

are thought to have the condi-tion because their mothers had been infected with Zika.

Zika has been found in 21 countries and territories in the Western Hemisphere. It has spread so quickly that world health officials had warned that it was only a matter of time before it reached the U.S.

The Aedes aegypti mosquito carrying Zika is the same one

that transmits dengue and chi-kungunya viruses, which have caused outbreaks in parts of the United States.

Also on Tuesday: ■ President Barack Obama

called for speeding up research to diagnose, prevent and treat the Zika virus. Obama met with public health and national security officials about the mosquito-borne virus Tuesday

in the Situation Room of the White House. The administra-tion said Obama was briefed on steps being taken to pro-tect Americans and factors that could cause the virus to spread in the U.S.

■ The CDC added the U.S. Vir-gin Islands and the Dominican Republic to the list of 22 des-tinations with Zika outbreaks and recommended pregnant women consider postponing trips to those.

■ Colombian officials said the number of suspected cases of the Zika virus in their country has reached 16,490.

■ In the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico, Health Secretary Ana Rius said there are 18 con-firmed new cases in addition to one known earlier. None involve pregnant women.

■ The Australian Olym-pic Committee has warned pregnant team members to carefully consider whether they will attend this year’s Olympic Games in Brazil.

CDC: Test babies for Zika virus

The mosquito-borne illness that causes birth defects has reached the U.S., health officials say.

SAN FRANCISCO — Recent El Nino storms have boosted the Sierra Nevada snowpack to 115 percent of normal — more than the drought-stricken state has seen in five years, officials said Tuesday.

The electronic reading by the state Department of Water Resources was the highest since it reached 129 percent in 2011. The Sierra snowpack contributes nearly one-third of California’s water when it melts in the spring. Officials say the snowpack would have to be at 150 percent of normal by April 1 to ease the four-year drought.

Navy says no sign of shootingAuthorities found no gunman or

signs of a shooting Tuesday after receiv-ing a report from a Department of Defense employee that shots had been heard at Naval Medical Center San Diego in Balboa Park. Authorities lifted a lockdown at three nearby schools and hours later at the facility after military police finished a sweep of the building in question.

N.J.: Lizard in school lunchAn elementary school science class

has a new pet after a lizard was discov-ered in a student’s salad after being refrigerated for days. Riverside Ele-mentary School science teacher Mark Eastburn told NJ.com that a green anole lizard was found in a bundle of greens last week by a kindergartner at the school in Princeton. The lizard has since been warmed and lives in a cage in Eastburn’s class. The lizard, dubbed “Green Fruit Loop,” came from Florida.

Ohio: 6 officers firedCleveland officials said Tuesday

they’re firing six police officers involved in a 137-shot barrage that killed two unarmed people after a high-speed chase. Those officers included Michael Brelo, a patrolman acquitted of man-slaughter charges in May for having fired the last 15 shots of the barrage on Nov. 29, 2012. The chase began when officers standing outside police headquarters mistook the sound of car backfiring as a gunshot. Six more officers who fired the barrage face suspensions.

Iowa: Trump won’t debateRepublican Donald Trump on Tues-

day bowed out of the final Republican presidential debate before the Iowa caucuses, saying Fox News moderator Megyn Kelly is “a lightweight.” Trump campaign manager Corey Lewan-dowski confirmed Trump’s decision Tuesday after a press conference in which Trump lashed out at Kelly and said she’d been “toying” with him. Trump said he’d hold an Iowa event at the same time as the debate to raise money for wounded veterans. “Let them have their debate and let’s see how they do with the ratings,” Trump said. “Why do I have to make Fox rich?”

Vatican City: Iran must join fight against terrorism

Pope Francis held talks with Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani at the Vati-can on Tuesday, calling on Tehran to play a key role in stopping the spread of terrorism as Iran tries to improve its image in the global arena following an agreement on its nuclear program. Rouhani paid the first official call on a pontiff by an Iranian president since 1999. The private talks “delved into the conclusion and application of the nuclear accord, and the important role that Iran is called upon to play, together with other countries of the region, was highlighted,” the Holy See said.

Jordan: Jobs for migrantsGermany is proposing creating up to

500,000 short-term jobs to help Syrian refugees survive in overburdened Mid-dle Eastern host countries, the minister for economic cooperation said during a visit to Jordan on Tuesday. Germany will raise the idea at next week’s annual Syria aid conference in London, Gerd Mueller said. “It’s called cash for work, to employ Syrian refugees, but also unemployed Jordanians ... in building schools, infrastructure,” Mueller said, adding that participants would be paid about $325 a month. Almost 4.3 million Syrians have fled civil war since 2011 and most remain in the region, mainly in Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey.

JPMorgan settlementJPMorgan Chase has agreed

to pay $1.42 billion to settle allegations that it withheld critical funds from Lehman Brothers in the final days lead-ing up to Lehman’s collapse. Lehman’s failure is considered a critical moment in the finan-cial crisis, one that helped deepen and extend the U.S. recession. As Lehman’s clear-ing bank, JP Morgan provided the cash that Lehman used to do business every day.

SAN FRANCISCO — Apple is bracing for its first sales decline in 13 years, despite selling a record 74.8 million iPhones in the final three months of 2015.

The giant tech company says revenue could fall at least 8.6 percent during the January-March quarter, compared with a year earlier. Analysts say the latest iPhone models are sell-ing reasonably well, but they’re not providing the boost Apple needs to match the massive sales growth it enjoyed last year.

The company inched past its previous record, established when it sold 74.5 million iPhones in the holiday quarter of 2014. But Tuesday’s forecast implies Apple doesn’t expect to match the 61

million iPhones sold in last year’s January-March quarter.

Apple’s stock has been in a slump for months, as investors worry that the company won’t be able to duplicate last year’s growth in sales, which were in the double-digit percentages. In an interview, Chief Financial Officer Luca Maestri said a strong dollar helped reduce revenue, as sales made with foreign currencies abroad convert into fewer dollars. He also said the company isn’t

concerned about what he char-acterized as a short-term slowing of growth, because it has a large base of customers who can be relied on to buy new devices and pay for other services.

“We think we’re in the stron-gest position we’ve ever been,” Maestri told The Associated Press, adding that the company estimates 1 billion Apple devices — including iPhones, iPads, Apple Watches and Mac comput-ers — are now in active use.

The iPhone, however, is Apple’s biggest-selling product, con-tributing nearly two-thirds of its revenue and a similar share of profit. Despite the introduc-tion of new models, analysts say global demand for new smart-phones isn’t growing as fast as it has in recent years. Apple is also confronting an economic down-turn in China, one of its biggest markets.

The giant tech company is in no financial danger. It earned $18.4 billion in profit for the October-December quarter, up 1.8 percent from a year earlier. It had $75.9 billion in revenue, an increase of 1.7 percent. Earnings amounted to $3.28 a share, which beat the $3.23 average forecast among analysts surveyed by FactSet.

BETHESDA, Md. — Lock-heed Martin is separating its information systems and global solutions unit, com-bining it with the engineering company Leidos so that it can focus on its remaining aero-space and defense business.

The division has about $5 billion in sales and more than 16,000 employees globally.

Its shares dropped more than 3 percent in morning trading Tuesday.

Lockheed Martin Corp. will receive a special one-time payment of $1.8 billion. The Bethesda, Maryland-based company’s shareholders will receive approximately 77 mil-lion Leidos shares with an estimated value of $3.2 billion.

Existing shareholders of Leidos Holdings Inc. will con-tinue to hold the remaining outstanding shares.

Reston, Virginia-based Leidos is expected to pay its shareholders a special divi-dend of about $1 billion.

The deal still needs approval from Leidos shareholders. It is expected to close in the sec-ond half of the year.

Shares of Lockheed Martin dropped $6.19, or 2.9 percent, to $204.82 in morning trading. Its shares have edged up 3 per-cent over the past year.

WASHINGTON — Millions of young adults healthy enough to think they don’t need insurance face painful choices this year as the sign-up deadline approaches for President Barack Obama’s health care law.

Fines for being uninsured rise sharply in 2016 — averag-ing nearly $1,000 per household, according to an independent esti-mate. It’s forcing those in their 20s and 30s to take a hard look and see if they can squeeze in cover-age to avoid penalties. Many are

trying to establish careers or just make progress in a still-bumpy economy.

“There’s only so far one can dwindle a ramen-noodle diet,” said Christopher Rael of Los Angeles. In his late 20s, Rael is pursuing a degree in sociology and working at a children’s center to pay his bills.

With open enrollment over after Jan. 31, Rael is hoping his meager income will qualify him for Medi-Cal, the state’s version of Medicaid. “I cannot afford an additional bill,” he said. He paid a fine of about $150 for being unin-sured in 2014.

The minimum penalty rises to $695 in 2016 for someone uninsured a full 12 months and not eligible for one of the law’s exemptions. That’s more than double the corresponding figure of $325 for 2015.

In practice, the fines will be higher for many consumers. That’s because the law sets the penalty as the greater of $695 or 2.5 percent of taxable income this year. A study by the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation esti-mates the average 2016 penalty at $969 per uninsured household.

NEW YORK — Soon, los-ing your ATM card won’t be the financial life-stopping event it used to be. Just don’t also lose your phone.

JPMorgan Chase customers will soon be able to withdraw cash or initiate other transactions using their cellphone at Chase ATMs being upgraded later this year.

The move will include new cash machines that don’t require a card and upgrades to existing machines that will allow custom-ers to withdraw more money and in different denominations,

said Chase spokesman Michael Fusco. The withdrawal limit will also be substantially higher, up to $3,000 during branch hours.

The first generation of these new ATMs will allow custom-ers to access the machine by inputting a code found on their Chase mobile app, Fusco said. Future upgrades of machines will allow customers to use their cell phone’s near-field wireless communication feature to access their accounts, using the tech-nology that enables shopping checkout features such as Apple Pay and Samsung Pay.

Fines are collected through the tax returns of uninsured people and in most cases deducted from their tax refunds. The penalty amounts will be increased by a cost-of-liv-ing factor in future years.

Penalties are the health care law’s nudge to get healthy people into the insurance pool, helping keep premiums manage-able for everyone.

Until now, the adminis-tration has mainly stressed the benefits: subsidized premiums and protection from the costs of unan-ticipated injury or serious illness. But with concerns that many young and healthy people still aren’t sold, officials are invoking

the threat of penalties.“The tax penalty is

bringing more young and healthy consumers into the market,” Andy Slavitt, head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, said in a recent speech. “We are using a large por-tion of our marketing resources to make sure that consumers are aware of the increasing fee for people that go without insurance.” Slavitt’s agency oversees the health care law.

The pressure of rising fines is butting up against the economic situations of uninsured people, nearly half of whom said in a recent Kaiser poll that they’ve tried but cover-age is still too expensive. A big sore point has to do with high deductibles for

many health-law insurance plans, which can leave con-sumers with thousands of dollars in medical bills.

Christina Loucks of Franklin, Tennessee, says the way she figures it, she might still come out ahead financially by paying a $695 fine.

The insurance plans she’s looked at would cost her about $100 a month in premiums, after subsidies. That works out to around

$1,200 a year. But the cover-age comes with deductibles of several thousand dollars. If she got seriously ill, she would be on the hook for that before her insurance started paying. Normally, she just goes to the doctor for allergy prescriptions.

“I still see it as I am keep-ing $500 in my pocket,” said Loucks. The $500 is the dif-ference between a full year of premiums and fine for being uninsured, and that

calculation might work if she stays healthy.

In her 30s, Loucks is holding down two jobs as she tries to find a career that aligns with her interest in literature. She’s still deal-ing with student loans, rent and car payments. “I don’t see the benefit for me,” she said.

Julian Rostain has decided he’ll take a chance on being fined by the IRS.

In his 20s, Rostain works as a cook at a country club. His dream is to open up his own establishment, serving up “American-French bistro food with Asian undertones.” He lives in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania.

Rostain’s savings in a rainy-day fund wouldn’t allow him to qualify for

expanded Medicaid, and he doesn’t think he can cover insurance premiums on his budget.

“Do you really think peo-ple who can’t afford health care should have to pay a penalty?” asks Rostain. The law does offer a low-income exemption, and he’s checking into it.

While rising penalties could boost health care sign-ups this year, that’s not likely to win hearts and minds for Obama’s Afford-able Care Act.

“We are talking about paying premium prices for underwhelming health care,” said D.J. Byrnes, a sports blogger from Columbus, Ohio, in his 20s and uninsured. “If I want to buy something, I want to make sure it’s quality.”

Revenue fell short of ana-lysts’ estimates, which averaged $76.7 billion.

No one expects Apple to match those results in the current, January-March quarter, as sales tradition-ally drop after the holiday shopping season and the introduction of new mod-els. But Apple’s forecast, which calls for revenue between $50 billion and $53 billion in the current period, means the com-pany will likely fall short of the $58 billion it had a year earlier.

That would be Apple’s first year-over-year sales decline since the Jan-uary-March quarter of 2003 — long before the company began selling iPhones and iPads. Back then, Apple was a fraction of its current size, report-ing quarterly revenue of just $1.45 billion.

While the iPhone has

been a phenomenal suc-cess, analysts say it’s difficult to match the sales surge that Apple enjoyed last year, after it intro-duced the first iPhone models with significantly larger screens to compete with big-screen phones from rivals like Samsung, which were hugely popu-lar in Asia.

Analysts say last Sep-tember’s release of two more big-screen phones, the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus, made less of a splash because they were viewed as relatively similar to the previous models, despite some new features.

Analysts say the slight increase in sales for the December quarter came in part because Apple began selling the newest models several days earlier in key markets such as China.

Apple is expected to release the next iPhone models, with new features, later this year.

That could fuel another surge in sales. Along with first-time buyers and people who switch from

competitors’ phones, ana-lysts say Apple can count on a loyal base of iPhone owners who will buy a new model every two years or so.

Skeptics, however, note that Apple hasn’t come up with a blockbuster product to replace the iPhone. The

company’s latest report showed sales of Mac com-puters and iPads both declined in the previous quarter.

Apple has introduced new gadgets like a larger iPad for business users and the Apple Watch, along with new online

services like Apple Pay, Apple Music and other apps. In a report this week, analyst Colin Gillis of BGC Financial warned that “the big issue for Apple” is whether the company can garner significant amounts of revenue from those new products.

The bank’s plans were first reported by the New York Post on Monday.

Fusco said Chase now does more transactions each month via ATMs than with tellers.

Tellers will still be in branches, however, to help with specialized customer transactions, Fusco said. Chase is also moving tellers from behind the counter to the branch floor to help customers navigate the new machines.

Other features being rolled out with the new machines eventually, the company said, will allow customers to cash checks, and pay Chase credit card bills and mortgages at the ATM. Those features will arrive within the next two years.

Opinion

■ FERRY FACILITIES

Which agency oversees urinals?

My data source is weak, but believable. But weak. I’m not going to say who it was, but a “relevant person.” I don’t want to get them in trouble. It was one of the five or six peo-ple on land on Jan. 22 at the Edmonds/Kingston ferry dock.

I used the men’s bathroom at the Edmonds/Kingston ferry dock staging area Friday night. The urinal was overflow-ing with urine, flooding the men’s bathroom, pouring out. I told the nearest employee I could find, so s/he could notify those in charge of fix-ing such things. I did not finish my sentence before s/he said, “Been that way for two weeks. City of Edmonds says it is the Department of Transportation, Department of Transportation says it is city of Edmonds.”

And while they battle over such pettiness, male citizens walk on a urine-flooded floor.

Can governmental bodies get any more immature than this? What is this, a $100 fix? $500? $5,000? That is going to break some government’s budget back? Is there no one in either governmental “block” capable of saying, “let’s fix the bathroom now — because it is insane to have our citizens walking in urine — and affix financial responsibility later, probably through the courts and millions of dollars of attorney fees. …”

Or just cough up the $100 or $500 and call it square.

■ CORPORATE AMERICA

Mergers ignore the patients

We have been very satisfied with the care that Group Health has provided, for years, and I can’t say enough good about the doctors, nurses and sup-port staff, but I’m concerned about the merger with Kaiser. The health care provider is mov-ing in the same way that most American companies are going these days. It’s all about making you go online. Giving them your personal information to them over the Internet and we all know how secure the Internet is. Not. Corporate America, these days, is all about cutting costs and the easiest way to cut costs is to cut employees, and that is what Group Health is now doing, and as evidence of that I offer the example of calling to

order new prescriptions.In at least the last year your

wait time to talk to a pharmacy person has increased. You can’t call any more without getting the message that tells us how much they appreciate our busi-ness but everyone is so busy that they can’t talk to us yet, but you can go online and get served. Good service is as rare as buggy whips these days. I don’t under-stand the corporate mindset that thinks that making it more difficult for a customer to buy something is good business, but we recently had to do business with a cable company, who will remain nameless except that practically everyone can guess who it is, that makes you take a number to talk to someone who will take your money. When I protested the giving of our per-sonal info to our bank so we would have do business online, saving the bank money, the bank manager had the gall to inform me that the employees that were losing their jobs were just the incompetent ones.

The American consumer is being treated like an unwanted relative. Corporate America tolerates us, not welcomes us. I hope that Group Health does not follow that path. Our health care is too important.

Kaiser is not a quality partner

No on Kaiser. I am a physi-cian. I have seen many patients whose care has been inad-equate at Kaiser and in whom I have had to correct their fail-ure to treat. One outstanding case is my brother Cary who went to the Portland, Oregon, Kaiser emergency room with a case of pneumonia.

He was seen by non-physician personnel, placed on antibiot-ics and never evaluated further. They never did a blood test, never referred him to a physician.

He had a form of cancer, multiple myeloma, causing pneumonia. The myeloma was not diagnosed until six months later when he became severely anemic.

He later died of the disease. No on Kaiser.

My tax bill can’t take another levy

I feel compelled to write about the latest assault on homeowners in the Lakewood School District No. 306. In 2014, taxpayers were asked to fund a bond to build a new high school. “It’s for the kids. And it’s just a little bit more.” Just 37 cents per $1,000 of home value. Now, homeowners are asked to go for two new levies. Well, one isn’t really new; it’s a replace-ment, so it’s not a burden, right? Just $3.18 per $1,000, going up to $3.22 in four years. Then the school bosses slide in a capital projects levy for all kinds of new gadgets. Another 34 cents per $1,000. Again, the campaign rides on “It’s for the kids. And it’s just a little bit more.”

According to my latest prop-erty tax bill, it’s not “just a little bit more.” Forty-two percent of my total bill goes to Lake-wood No. 306. And it amounts to $5.40 per $1,000. Right now. Before the “just a little bit more” is snuck on during an off-off-off year election, taking it to $5.73. For the “typical” $300,000 house used by the district, that’s $1,719 per year. An extra 6 per-cent tax burden. For one of the smallest districts in the county.

It’s time for homeowners to stand up and say, “Enough is enough.” Vote no for taxes on Feb. 9.

■ POLITICAL REPORTING

Leave Palin’s son out of articles

Herald, the seedy underbelly of your liberalism has sprouted up again in the Jan. 20 paper, with the Associated Press article on Sarah Palin joining Trump on the campaign trail.

It is obvious, that the Asso-ciated Press’ only purpose for including the news regarding Sarah’s son, Track’s arrest, after she mentioned him first, was to discredit and minimize Ms. Palin and cloud the real issue of her support for Trump.

Sarah’s son is a 26-year-old man, and his arrest in Alaska has no bearing on his mother, or who she chooses to endorse.

Printing such details adds nothing to Palin’s endorse-ment of Trump, is pointless, and only alienates your paper from readers who are actually able to articulate a thought.

I am very disappointed in your paper for running such lopsided articles. You can do better.

IN OUR VIEW | K-12 education funding

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Have your saySend letters to the editor to: Email: [email protected]: Letters section The Daily Herald P.O. Box 930 Everett, WA 98206

Editorial BoardJosh O’Connor, Publisher

Jon Bauer, Editorial Page Editor Neal Pattison, Executive Editor

Carol MacPherson, Editorial Writer

“I.O.U. one comprehensive plan for amply funding basic education and ending reliance on local school levies to pro-vide a significant portion of teacher and other school staff salaries.”

Earlier this week, the state House passed what is essen-tially a promissory note — payable by next year’s Leg-islature — to repair the state’s system of funding K-12 educa-tion and get out from under a state Supreme Court mandate and a $100,000-a-day fine. The bill now moves on to the Senate, which could bring it to a vote later this week or early next week.

Recognizing that they weren’t likely to resolve the issue during a 60-day ses-sion, lawmakers instead have drafted a plan that they say will help them reform the funding system next year.

Continuing the work of an informal group assembled by Gov. Jay Inslee, the bill would establish a bipartisan educa-tion funding task force of eight legislators to review data and make recommendations for

pay and benefits for teachers and other staff, use of local school levies and collective bargaining with employee unions. The bill also requests that the state Superintendent of Public Instruction and local school districts provide data on what teachers and oth-ers are paid and how much is funded through school levies.

The Legislature made progress last year, establishing full-day kindergarten state-wide, increasing funding for transportation and supplies and providing funding to reduce K-3 class sizes, but it would have been that much further along if it had taken this step last year to begin gathering information and developing a plan.

Resolution, then, is at least a year off. The problem with the delay is that one million stu-dents and the state’s taxpayers are left to muddle through with the current situation. It’s one thing for lawmakers to give themselves more time, but another to let the current situation slide without making a few patches until their work

is finished.The Legislature should pass

two stop-gap measures along with the I.O.U. to itself:

The levy cliff: Working under the assumption it would fix the funding crisis, the Legislature approved a reduction in the maximum that many school districts could request of their voters. That lid is scheduled to be reduced from 28 percent of a district’s budget to 24 percent in 2017.

Absent a funding solution from the state and without an extension, districts would have to start planning for the loss of funding this year and begin the process to lay off teachers and others. The Everett School District, as an example, stands to lose $10.1 million in funding over a two-year period.

Teacher shortages: State Superintendent of Public Instruction Randy Dorn spoke this week before both House and Senate in support of legis-lation that would address the state’s shortage of qualified teachers. A recent survey by

the University of Washing-ton found that 80 percent of the state’s school principals reported having to hire under-qualified teachers and 54 percent were unable to find enough substitute teachers on most days. Dorn told law-makers emergency substitute certificates, which require only a fingerprint check and a character and fitness ques-tionnaire, have increased 255 percent in the past three years.

Legislation endorsed by Dorn would provide “signing bonuses” to teachers hired in small and rural school dis-tricts and districts with high percentages of low-income students; allow recently retired teachers to serve without restrictions; increase the salary rate for beginning teachers; increase funding for a loan forgiveness program; and make it easier for teachers with certification from other states to teach here.

Lawmakers can give them-selves more time, but they shouldn’t allow the problem to get worse while students wait.

Stop-gaps needed with I.O.U.As Americans, we strongly value

both work and family — but as citi-zens we’ve structured our economy

and laws to too often force people to work at the expense of their families.

We have given millions of parents the cold choice of leaving their job and not getting any pay when they have a baby or figuring out how to hand over their precious newborn child to others to care for, in order to go to work to pay the rent (and child care).

Back in 2007, the State Senate, with Democrats leading and two Republicans joining in, passed Family Leave Insurance with a funding source, a 2-cent-an-hour payroll premium. But when it got to the Democratic-led House, the majority party balked, stripped the funding source and set up a committee to discuss and recom-mend how to implement Family Leave Insurance. Then the fiscal crisis hit, the Legislature was paralyzed, and both Dem-ocrats and Republicans abandoned any pretext of helping working families bal-ance the economic realities of caring for a newborn while holding onto your job.

Taking care of newborns or newly adopted children hasn’t gotten any easier since 2007. Our population has continued to age, meaning more work-ers have elderly parents or spouses — or are encountering more health problems themselves. Wages have stagnated, jobs have disappeared, and the cost of child care, especially for infants, has skyrock-eted. We need family leave insurance now more than ever. Some companies, such as Google, and Microsoft, have stepped up with expanded parental leave for their employees, the vast majority of which are high income professionals. As to the rest of the workers in the state ... you are on your own.

State Rep. June Robinson, D-Everett, is one legislator who is stepping up for the children and workers of our state. She wasn’t in the Legislature in 2007, so she brings a new reality and new wisdom to family leave insurance. Her bill, House Bill 1273, would provide 12 weeks of leave for the birth or adoption of a child or to care for a seriously ill family member. A worker taking family leave would receive two-thirds of her wages for those 12 weeks, capped at $1,000 a week. This family leave insurance is financed by two-tenths of 1 percent payroll premium, paid by both workers and their employers. It also covers workers’ own serious injuries or ill-nesses, so that if you are struck by cancer or in a serious accident and can’t go to work, you get this insurance. If you are forced to go on bed rest before you give birth, to protect the life of the child-to-be and your own health, you also get this insurance.

Washington’s commonsense proposal is modeled after successful programs in other states. Robinson has been joined by Snohomish County legislators Mike Sells, D-Everett; Ruth Kagi, D-Shoreline; Luis Moscoso, D-Mountlake Terrace; Cindy Ryu, D-Shoreline; Derek Stan-ford, D-Bothell; as well as Sens. John McCoy, D-Tulalip, and Maralyn Chase, D-Edmonds, in sponsoring this legisla-tion. Last year the bill made it through the House Labor Committee, only to be bottled up in the House Appropria-tions Committee. But this year Rep. Hans Dunshee, D-Snohomish, is chairing the House Appropriations Committee, and Dunshee is more inclined than the previ-ous chairman to bring up this family leave insurance bill in his committee. That is the next step toward eventual passage.

So maybe there is hope for an actual law with actual funding for the parents of newborns and newly adopted children, enabling them to care for, nurture, and teach these youngest children, without having to juggle credit cards statements, bills, and bank balances. This bill brings hope for our elderly who want their loved ones gathered near during their final weeks. It extends a lifeline for the woman diagnosed with breast cancer.

Family leave insurance is a completely American solution, like Social Security. The people who are the beneficiaries have already paid into the system, the pool of workers who are covered is universal, no one gets a free ride, and all of us get the security and financial footing we need when we bring home a new baby. It is good for your neighbors, your friends and your family. It is good for us!

We all need, deserve paid family leave

By Erin PrideFor The Herald

Every February brings the return of candy hearts to the grocery store aisle and the plans to celebrate what many consider a “greeting card” holiday in the name of love.

If you’re tired of cel-ebrating the Hallmark holiday of St. Valentine, this February I urge you not to throw the baby out with the bathwater. Instead, remember the best part of Valentine’s Day — delicious sweets —- or celebrate your love in your own way on one of these five oft-forgotten other February holidays.

Here are some cook-books to get you started:

Groundhog Day: Feb. 2“Afield: A Chef’s Guide to

Preparing and Cooking Wild Game and Fish” by Jesse Griffiths

I’ve never wanted to learn to hunt so badly as when I cracked the cover of this cookbook — cue Downton Abbey-inspired shoot in the countryside. Griffiths, a James Beard Award finalist, shares recipes for smoked goose sausage, smothered boar chops and squirrel with herb dump-lings (you can substitute turkey legs if desired). It also tastefully shows you how to pluck and pre-pare a meal of doves — perfect for a pair of love birds.

Publisher: Welcome Books; price: $40

Super Bowl, Feb. 7

“Beer Bites” by Christian DeBenedetti & Andrea Slonecker

Yes, I realize this isn’t a nation-ally recognized holiday, but it’s near enough to make it on this list. Maybe you’re married to a sports nut like I am. Here’s the oppor-tunity to score kudos twice. Once for making a sporting event the

center of your date and again for food paired with beer. Serve fried burrata sandwiches and blood orange-tomato soup with a Pfriem witbier and you’ll find the way straight to your date’s heart.

Publisher: Chronicle Books; price: $24.95

Chinese New Year, Feb. 8

“Lucky Peach: 101 Easy Asian Recipes” by Peter Meehan & Editors of Lucky Peach Magazine

Given that the Gregorian New Year falls so close to Christmas, I hardly notice it in my recovery

from holiday revelry. The Chinese New Year is a perfect opportunity to reset. These are indeed easy recipes, and any novice home cook will be whipping up a meal to rival the best takeout classics in celebra-tion of the year of the monkey.

Publisher: Clarkson Potter; price: $35

Mardi Gras, Feb. 9

“Besh Big Easy: 101 Home Cooked New Orleans Recipes” by John Besh

My experience of Mardi Gras is limited to the long-gone Everett

restaurant Alligator Soul and my childhood experience of Carnival in the Caribbean — all king cake and cheap trinkets. It’s a holiday for some of the best comfort cuisine, and one I’ve grown to love. Besh packs his book with Nola favorites along with the perfect hangover food: Red Beans n’ Rice. Grab a copy, your date and laissez les bon temps roulez!

ERIN PRIDE / FOR THE HERALD

A foodie’s February

The Washington Post

Want to eat well, but feeling tight on time? Here are some dishes that you can make ahead and save for a busy week.

The dishes are excerpted from “You Have It Made: Delicious, Healthy, Do-Ahead Meals,” the new cookbook by The Washing-ton Post’s Nourish columnist, Ellie Krieger.

As Krieger recommends in her book, you’ll need heavy-duty aluminum foil, plastic wrap, freezer-safe zip-top bags and a permanent marker (for the all-important labeling of your make-ahead meals).

Greek mixed greens pie with phyllo crust

Reminiscent of spanakopita, the Greek spinach pie, this is a good and easy starter recipe for those who haven’t worked with phyllo dough.

Make ahead: The unbaked pie can be refrigerated for up to 1 day; add 10 minutes to the baking time. It can

be chilled in the refrigerator, wrapped in plastic wrap and aluminum foil and frozen for up to 3 months; reheat by placing it in the oven during the time it preheats to 375 degrees; once it reaches temperature, bake for 45 minutes. The baked pie can be cooled completely, then refrigerated for up to 4 days; reheat uncovered in the oven

as it preheats to 350 degrees. Once it reaches temperature, bake for 20 to 30 minutes.1⁄3 to 1⁄2 cup olive oil, plus more for

the baking dish6 thick/large scallions, white and

light-green parts, trimmed and chopped (1⁄2 cup)

Three 10-ounce packages frozen

chopped spinach, kale and/or collard greens, defrosted and squeezed dry (preferably a mix)

7 ounces (1 1⁄3 cups) crumbled feta cheese

8 ounces (1 cup) low-fat cottage cheese

3 large eggs, lightly beaten1⁄2 cup finely chopped fresh dill1⁄2 cup finely chopped flat-leaf

parsley1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt1⁄4 teaspoon freshly ground black

pepper18 sheets (about 8 ounces) phyllo

dough, at a cool room tem-perature

Heat 2 teaspoons of the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the scallions and cook, stirring, until they have softened, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a large mixing bowl along with the greens, feta, cottage cheese, two-thirds of the eggs, the dill, parsley, salt and pepper; stir until well combined.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.Brush one 9-by-13-inch casserole

dish (or two 8-inch square casserole dishes) with oil. As needed, cut the stack of phyllo sheets to fit the large dish if making one pie or in quarters to

fit the small dishes if making two pies. Cover the phyllo with a damp paper towel and keep it covered as much as possible as you work.

Fit 1 sheet of phyllo in the baking dish; brush the dough lightly with some of the remaining oil. Continue to brush and layer until you have 8 sheets in the pan. Top with the mixed-greens filling (or half of it if you are making two pies), spreading the mixture evenly. Then brush and layer the top with the remaining 10 layers of phyllo, brushing with oil as before. If making 2 pies, repeat the process.

Brush the top lightly with the re-maining egg, then score the top of the pie with a sharp knife (being careful not to cut all the way down to the filling) into 8 sections for the large pie or 4 sections each for the smaller pies. The dish may be frozen at this point.

Bake for 30 to 45 minutes or until the top is flaky and golden brown.

This is a decidedly non-creamy tomato soup, with acidity front and center. But-tery, cheesy bites of grilled cheese sandwich function as croutons, making the dish a sophisticated version of a childhood favorite.

Tomato soup with grilled havarti cheese croutons1⁄2 medium white or yellow onionWhole peeled fire-roasted plum

tomatoes from one 28-ounce can (10 or 11)

1 tablespoon olive oil1⁄4 to 1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt1 teaspoon ground Aleppo pep-

per (or hot or sweet paprika)1⁄2 cup dry white wine2 cups no-salt-added vegetable

broth (may substitute chicken broth)

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature

2 thick slices multi-grain or whole-wheat bread

2 ounces havarti cheese, prefer-ably with caraway seed (may substitute Leyden cheese with caraway)

1 1⁄2 tablespoons pesto (basil or spinach; optional)

1⁄2 lemonPreheat the oven to 400 degrees.Coarsely chop the onion. Place the

drained tomatoes in a medium bowl; use your hands to gently crush them.

Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Once the oil shimmers, stir in the onion. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until the onion begins to soften. Add the tomatoes, 1⁄4 teaspoon of the salt and all the Aleppo pepper; cook for about 3 min-utes, stirring a few times, then add the wine and broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 15 minutes, stirring once or twice.

Meanwhile, spread a total of 1 1⁄2 tablespoons of the butter on both sides of each slice of bread. Cut the cheese into small pieces; place them on one slice of bread, then drizzle with the pesto, if using. Top with the other slice, pressing gently to form a sandwich. Melt the remaining 1⁄2 tablespoon of butter in a small, ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwich in it and cook for 3 minutes on each side, until lightly browned, then transfer the skillet to the oven; bake for about 6 minutes.

Turn off the heat under the sauce-pan. Use an immersion (stick) blender to puree the soup until smooth. Taste, and add salt as needed. Squeeze the lemon into the soup (to taste).

Use a spatula to transfer the grilled cheese sandwich to a cutting board; cut into bite-size pieces.

Divide the soup between wide, shallow bowls. Garnish with the grilled cheese pieces. Serve hot.

F ish and lemon — well, of course. They are a natural pair,

classic for a reason. But lemon isn’t the only citrus that makes fish sparkle. Now, at the height of the citrus season, there is a wide and wonderful vari-ety to explore with color, bright acidity and multidi-mensional flavor that can take your seafood dinner to another level.

The sauce for this dish brings together grapefruit and orange in an enticing and exciting way. I use red grapefruit for its color and gentle pucker, and a navel orange works perfectly along with it. But if cara caras are available, try that orange variety, which has a stunning pink hue and lovely sweet-tart balance.

Once you segment the citrus over a bowl and collect the juices, you use them to make a simple yet elegant pan sauce that

takes all of 10 minutes. You just saute shallot in a bit of olive oil, add white wine and then a touch of honey and butter to give the sauce a silky richness and balance the tartness of the fruit to come.

All the while, the halibut (or whatever mild, white flaky fish you prefer) is roasting gently and evenly

in the oven, a method that is one of the surest ways to get it done right and makes for a stress-free cooking experience. With grilling and pan-cooking, the fish cooks fast — blink and it could overcook — but those methods require you to flip the fillets, upping the chance that they will fall apart.

Roasting eliminates all of that: Place the fish in a preheated oven and cook it for 10 minutes per inch of thickness. It’s as fool-proof as it gets.

You finish the sauce by adding the citrus seg-ments and juices along with sprinkle of fresh tarragon, for a fragrant hint of anise. Just shake the pan a couple of times as it all warms through — gently, to avoid break-ing up the plump citrus segments. Then serve the sauce spooned over the fish, and relish the taste of the sun and surf in a whole new way.

Roasted halibut with citrus wine sauce3 tablespoons olive oilFour 6-ounce skinless halibut

fillets1⁄2 teaspoon salt1⁄4 teaspoon freshly ground

black pepper

1 red grapefruit1 navel orange1⁄3 cup finely chopped shallots

(from 2 medium shallots)1⁄2 cup dry white wine1 tablespoon unsalted butter2 teaspoons honey1 tablespoon chopped fresh

tarragon leavesPreheat the oven to 450

degrees.Brush the bottom of a

shallow baking dish with 1 1⁄2 teaspoons of the oil, arrange the fish in the dish, then brush the tops of the fish with another 1 1⁄2 teaspoons of the oil. Season the fish with 1⁄4 teaspoon of the salt and all of the pepper. Roast until just opaque, about 10 minutes per inch of thickness. Transfer to the stove top (off the heat); cover to keep warm if the fish is done before the sauce is ready.

Meanwhile, cut off the top and bottom of the grapefruit and orange, then remove the pith and peel of each by standing the fruit on one of its cut ends; follow the curve of the fruit with your knife, slicing downward around the fruit. Then, working over a bowl so the citrus seg-

ments fall into the bowl and you catch all the juices, use a paring knife to remove each segment of the grapefruit and orange from its membrane.

Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the shallots and cook, stirring until softened and beginning to brown on the edges, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the wine; cook for 2 to 4 minutes or until it has reduced by about half.

Reduce the heat to medium-low; stir in the butter, honey and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt until well blended. Add the citrus segments and their accu-mulated juices, then sprinkle the tarragon over the sauce. Shake the pan or stir gently once to dis-tribute, and cook until warmed through, about 2 minutes.

Serve the fish topped with the sauce.

“The Mad Feast: An Ecstatic Tour Through America’s Food” by Matthew Gavin Frank

The Mad Feast is indeed a bit mad, if not mad-dening, and certainly not a book for everyone. If the love of your life is a bit sarcastic, snarky and enjoys their cookbook with some salty language, this is one to consider. Frank, a creative writing profes-sor, is more writer than cookbook author, but he makes his trip through the dishes of our United States anything but dull. Enjoy such classics as Philly cheesesteak, Key Lime pie or our founding father’s peanut soup from Virginia along with stories of origin

— or at least how Frank came to find each recipe. Then regale your date with Washington’s love story to the aplet, of Aplets & Cot-lets fame.

I should also say that Feb. 10 is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent, should you need a holiday to stick to a New Year’s resolution of cutting back. This could include a long walk on the beach or gaz-ing into your true love’s eyes while sipping a cup of bone broth or turmeric lemon water.

However you choose to celebrate your love in Feb-ruary, don’t feel restricted to the 14th.

2 cooked andouille sausage links (6 ounces total), cut into thin rounds

1 pound (about 2 medium) zucchini, cut into thin rounds

2 large red bell peppers, seeded and cut into thin strips

3 cups frozen/defrosted corn kernels

1⁄2 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley

1⁄2 cup chopped fresh basil1 cup dry white wine, such as

pinot grigio1⁄3 cup olive oil

Combine the Cajun or Creole seasoning, salt and pepper in a mixing bowl, then add the shrimp and toss to coat.

Lay out 8 large (10-by-18-inch) pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil on a flat surface.

Divide the andouille sausage, zucchini, bell peppers and corn among the foil pieces, placing the vegetables in the center of each. Top each with shrimp (6 or 7); sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon of the parsley and 1 tablespoon of the basil. Drizzle each with 2 tablespoons of the wine and about 2 teaspoons of the oil. Fold each piece of the foil to form a packet, sealing tightly and leav-ing a little room inside for air to circulate in the packet.

If baking right away, preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Arrange the packets on one or two baking sheets; bake for about 13 minutes or until the shrimp is cooked through and the vegetables are

crisp-tender.To serve, open the packets

slowly, being careful to avoid the hot steam. Transfer the shrimp, vegetables and sauce that has accumulated to individual bowls or rimmed plates.

Jerk pork loin with mango cucumber salsa

Make ahead: The pork needs to be marinated in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours and up to 2 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months. The cooked, sliced pork can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or wrapped well and frozen for up to 3 months; defrost in the refrigerator for 24 to 36 hours. The salsa can be refrigerated (without the cilantro) for up to 3 days in advance.FOR THE PORK1 small onion, coarsely

chopped1⁄3 cup distilled white vinegar3 tablespoons canola or other

neutrally flavored oil8 cloves garlic, coarsely

chopped1 medium jalapeno pepper,

stemmed but not seeded, then coarsely chopped

2 teaspoons dried thyme1 teaspoon ground allspice1 teaspoon freshly grated

nutmeg1⁄2 teaspoon ground cloves1⁄4 teaspoon freshly ground

black pepperOne 2-pound boneless pork

loin (not a tenderloin)1 bay leafFOR THE SALSA1 cup finely diced fresh mango1 cup finely diced seedless

cucumber3 tablespoons minced red

onion11⁄2 tablespoons fresh lime

juice, or more as needed1⁄4 teaspoon salt, or more as

needed1⁄8 teaspoon freshly ground

black pepper2 tablespoons chopped cilan-

tro leavesFor the pork: Combine the

onion, vinegar, oil, garlic, jalapeño, thyme, allspice, nutmeg, cloves

and black pepper in a food proces-sor; puree until smooth.

Place the meat in a large (1-gallon) zip-top bag. Add the marinade and bay leaf, toss to coat, and seal the bag, removing as much air as possible. Refriger-ate for at least 3 hours (and up to 2 days).

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Drain the liquid from the zip-top bag, holding in any marinade solids but discarding the bay leaf. Transfer the pork to a rack seated in a roasting pan; rub the marinade solids all over the pork. Roast for about 45 minutes or until the internal temperature of the pork registers 145 degrees on an instant-read thermometer (medium-rare), or for about 1 hour to register 160 degrees (medium).

Meanwhile, make the salsa: Combine the mango, cucumber, red onion, lime juice, the 1⁄4 teaspoon salt and the pepper in a medium bowl, stirring to incorpo-rate. (At this point, the salsa can be refrigerated for up to 3 days in advance.)

Just before serving, stir in the cilantro; taste, and add lime juice and/or salt, as needed. The yield is 2 to 2 1⁄4 cups.

Allow the roasted pork loin to rest at room temperature for 15 minutes before slicing into 1⁄4-inch-thick slices. Serve with the salsa.

6 servings. Ingredients are too variable for a meaningful analysis.

Turkey sausage-stuffed pizza pockets

Make ahead: The baked, cooled pizza pockets can be wrapped in plastic wrap or foil and refrigerated for up to 4 days; reheat unwrapped on a foil-lined baking sheet in a 350-degree oven for 20 to 25 minutes. Wrapped, re-frigerated baked pita pockets can be frozen in a zip-top bag for up to 3 months; reheat unwrapped, placing them directly into a 350-degree oven for 35 minutes or until heated through. Individual pita pockets can be microwaved unwrapped on HIGH for 1 minute.1 tablespoon olive oil8 ounces Italian turkey sau-

sage, casings removed1⁄3 cup homemade or simple

store-bought marinara, plus 1 optional cup for serving

4 cups lightly packed, chopped fresh arugula or spinach

1 tablespoon cornmeal or flour, for the work surface

1 pound whole-wheat pizza dough (defrosted if fro-zen)

1 cup shredded low-fat moz-zarella cheese

1 large egg, lightly beaten2 tablespoons freshly grated

Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the sausage to the pan and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is browned and crumbled, about 4 minutes. Add the 1⁄3 cup of marinara sauce and cook, stirring, until the sauce’s liquid has nearly all evaporated and what’s left is just coating the sausage, 1 to 2 minutes.

Stir in the arugula or spinach; cook for about 1 minute or until just wilted. Remove from the heat to cool.

Meanwhile, sprinkle the corn-meal or flour onto a clean work surface. Use a rolling pin and/or your hands to stretch the dough into a large rectangle about 12 by 18 inches. (If the dough keeps springing back, let it rest for a few minutes before you begin to stretch it again.) Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to portion the dough into 8 rectangles of equal size.

Stir the mozzarella into the cooled sausage-greens mixture. Divide the filling evenly among the rectangles, spooning it on one side of each one.

Brush the border of each rectangle with some of the beaten egg, then close the dough over the filling on each rectangle. Use a fork to crimp the edges and seal each pocket, transferring them to the baking sheet as you work. Brush the tops with the egg, then sprinkle with the Parmigiano-Reg-giano. Bake until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.

Warm the optional cup of marinara, if using, and pass at the table.

Dear Grandparenting: My husband and I agree about most things but we part ways when it comes to our little grandchil-dren. My husband is a retired mechanical engineer, which helps to explain his non-nonsense approach. He tries to teach our grandkids about practical things like how to add and subtract numbers. I am just the opposite. I like to get their imaginations run-ning wild with ideas and the joy of make-believe.

Last weekend my husband had a little fit after the grandchil-dren went back home with their parents. He actually scolded me! He said my fun and fantasy was a waste of time that would not help the grandchildren succeed in life. I agree that life does get very serious later on. But when you are seven, five and four years old, isn’t make-believe a positive thing? Like I always say, if you can’t imagine it, then you can’t do it. Dreams are what set us in motion.

— Grand Fran, Des Moines, Iowa Dear Fran: Tell your husband

to step down from his high horse

and stop being so rigid. We are as concerned as anyone about the need for grandchildren to earn a living — eventually. But eliminat-ing imaginative play is not the way to go about it. Decades of research have substantiated the essential role that acting out and pretending can play in child development.

It’s a skill to be encouraged, not stomped on. “Human beings have a gift for fantasy,” said Paul Harris, professor at Harvard’s School of Education. “(It) shows itself at a very early age, and then continues to make all sorts of contributions to our intellectual and emotional life throughout the lifespan.”

Grandchildren who engage in this sort of magical thinking and play with imaginary friends aren’t merely on their way to becoming more creative. By pretending to be contrived characters, they experi-ence walking in someone else’s shoes, which promotes empathy and social skills. They learn how to share, and interact cooperatively.

The benefits don’t stop there. Researchers have linked “high quality pretend play” to improved

literacy, science and mathemat-ics — yes, math, which will please your husband. Pretend play often confronts children with a variety of problems to solve. Constructing an imaginary world is harder than it may seem. Since children have to improvise and make do with what’s at hand, it builds resource-fulness and self-reliance. That strikes us as a skill set we could all use.

Grand Remark Of The WeekBecky O’Shea from Lady Lake,

Florida, called granddaughter Madison on Christmas Day like she always does.

“Did you get what you wanted for Christmas?” she asked.

“What I really want is peace on earth,” said Madison. “That’s prob-ably way too much to ask.”

Dee and Tom, married more than 50 years, have eight grandchildren. Together with Key, they welcome questions, suggestions and Grand Remarks of the Week. Send to P.O. Box 27454, Towson, MD, 21285. Call 410-963-4426.

ANSWERS TOPREVIOUS PUZZLE

Dear Abby: I have been married for 10 years. Four years ago, while waiting for our divorce to be finalized, I decided I’d start dat-ing online and suggested she do the same. We were still friends, so I didn’t think it was crossing any boundaries.

My online dating efforts were met with peculiar results. All of the six women I connected with either stood me up or made excuses why they couldn’t or wouldn’t meet me in person. Out of frustration I began dating my wife again and we canceled the divorce proceedings.

About a year after we got back together, my wife con-fessed that the women I had reached out to online were all fictitious personae that she had constructed with the intent of exhausting my search efforts. It worked.

We are now filing for divorce again, and I’m wor-ried she may do the same thing. What can I do? — Southern Guy

Dear Southern Guy: Stop sharing any details of your online dating pursuits with her. Definitely refrain from telling her which sites you’re using. (Use different ones than before.)

Or, hearken back to the good old days and try meet-ing people in person.

Dear Abby: I am engaged to a wonderful man, and we will be married soon. We have been together two years and get along well. His parents live 35 minutes away and his mom doesn’t drive.

The other day he com-mented that she wanted us to invite her over, as she hadn’t been over in a year. I told him his mother is always welcome and should just call to make sure we are home. He then proceeded to tell me he wanted her to

spend the night. He said that in his previous relation-ship, his mother would stay over occasionally.

I didn’t know what to say, but at the age of 40, should he really be wanting sleepovers? It struck me as odd. I’m a private person and I’m not sure how to resolve this. I don’t want him to feel I’m rejecting his mom, but I don’t see why she needs to spend the night. I don’t want to walk on eggshells with her, because she called and scolded me about how I spoke to her son several months ago. Advice? — Lady Of The House

Dear Lady: Is there something you haven’t mentioned? Why has it been a year since your fiance’s mother has been invited to visit? Certainly in all this time you could have picked her up. A blanket “come anytime, just call first” isn’t a proper invita-tion — particularly if the person doesn’t drive.

If you prefer she not be an overnight guest, I don’t think your fiance should force it. And if you prefer that she not meddle in your relationship with her son, I hope you made it clear to her when she “scolded” you. Of course, it wouldn’t have happened if her son hadn’t tattled to her — which should be a glimpse of what marriage to him may be like if you don’t get this straightened out now.

THE NEW YORK TIMES CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Daily Bridge Club

Wednesday, January 27, 2016

Today’s deal provides someammunition (at least in theory) forplayers who refuse to open 1NT witha five-card major suit.

South held a balanced 15 pointswith a five-card suit. He opened 1NT,more or less describing his hand withone bid, even though his suithappened to be a major.

North had a routine raise to 3NT,and if West had led a heart or a blacksuit, South would have had ninetricks. Alas, West had a clear-cutdiamond lead, and the defense lookedready to beat 3NT when four heartswas colder than Labrador.

OVERTAKE?

On West’s king of diamonds, Eastsignaled with the seven. But Westnext led the queen of diamonds, andEast wasn’t sure what to do. If Westhad made a speculative lead fromK-Q-x, to overtake would bedisastrous. So East played low. Whenhe won the next diamond with theace, he had to shift, and Southescaped with nine tricks after all.

At Trick Two, West must lead thejack of diamonds. Then East willknow to overtake and return adiamond.

DAILY QUESTION

You hold: ♠ Q 6 4 ♥♥ A K J 5 2♦♦ 10 5 ♣ K Q 3. Your partner opens

one club, you respond one heart andhe bids one spade. What do you say?

ANSWER: Bid three clubs if thataction would be forcing. But manypairs treat most of responder’s jump-preferences as invitational. (Whatwould you bid with 7 6 4, A K J 2,10 5, K 4 3 2?) To create a force andget more information, bid twodiamonds. In the modern style, a bidof the “fourth suit” merely askspartner to describe his hand further.

South held a balanced 15 points with a five-card suit. He opened 1NT, more or less describing his hand with one bid, even though his suit hap-pened to be a major.

North had a routine raise to 3NT, and if West had led a heart or a black suit, South would have had nine tricks. Alas, West had a clear-cut dia-mond lead and the defense

looked ready to beat 3NT when four hearts was colder than Labrador.

On West’s king of dia-monds, East signaled with the seven. But West next led the queen of diamonds, and East wasn’t sure what to do. If West had made a speculative lead from K-Q-x, to overtake would be disastrous. So East played low. When he won the next diamond with the ace, he had to shift, and South escaped with nine tricks after all.

At Trick Two, West must lead the jack of diamonds. Then East will know to over-take and return a diamond.

DAILY QUESTION

You hold: ♠ Q 6 4 ♥ A K J 5 2 ◆ 10 5 ♣ K Q 3. Your partner opens one club, you respond one heart and he bids one spade. What do you say?

ANSWER: Bid three clubs if that action would be forc-ing. But many pairs treat most of responder’s jump-prefer-ences as invitational. (What would you bid with 7 6 4, A K J 2, 10 5, K 4 3 2?) To create a force and get more informa-tion, bid two diamonds. In the modern style, a bid of the “fourth suit” merely asks partner to describe his hand further.

French Creek Transmission Tower Relocation Project Seattle City Light Department

Seattle City Light (SCL) has prepared an environmental checklist under provisions of the State Environmental Policy Act for the French Creek Transmission Tower Relocation Project.Description of the proposed Project SCL is proposing to remove five existing steel lattice towers and install four, 200-foot, steel monopoles (two on the “B” line and two on the “D” line) within the existing transmission line right-of-way. The purpose of the new monopoles is to reduce future threats to transmission line infrastructure due to continued bluff erosion along French Creek. The new monopoles would allow the two transmission lines to effectively span French Creek and its associated bluff. The existing SCL access road would be improved to allow access for the installation and demolition equipment. Sections of the road which are steeper than 10 percent grade would be amended with

quarry spalls, geotextile fabric, and crushed rock. Temporary construction pads would be constructed in the locations of the lattice towers proposed for removal. A 10,000 square foot temporary staging/laydown area would be installed to store construction materials, the new monopoles, and construction vehicles. Three temporary vehicle pull-outs would also be installed along the existing access road. All temporarily disturbed areas would be reseeded and planted with native vegetation.Proponent: Seattle City Light, Seattle Municipal Tower, 700 Fifth Avenue, Suite 3200, P.O. Box 34023, Seattle WA 98124-4023. Location of proposal, including street address, if any: The project area is located within SCL’s existing utility line easement near French Creek just south of State Route (SR) 530 in unincorporated Snohomish County. From Exit 208 on Interstate 5 near Arlington, head east on SR 530 for approximately 24 miles to French Creek Road (National Forest Road 2010). Turn right on French Creek Road and follow for approximately ¼ mile. The western edge of the project area begins where the transmission lines cross French Creek Road.Lead Agency: Seattle City Light, the lead agency for this proposal, has determined that itdoes not have a probable significant adverse impact on the environment. Therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is not required under RCW 43.21C.030(2)(c). This decision was made after review of a completed environmental checklist and other information on file with Seattle City Light. This DNS is used under WAC 197-11-340(2). The lead agency will not act on this proposal for 14 days from the publication date. A copy of the DNS and checklist can be obtained at no charge from Seattle City Light by calling (206) 684-3117 or by visiting the office of City Light’s Environmental Affairs Division at Suite 3200, 700 Fifth Avenue in Seattle. The public is invited to comment on the DNS. The comment period closes on February 10, 2016. Ap- peals to this determination must be made in writing and received by the Office of the Hearing Examiner, 700 Fifth Avenue, Suite 4000, Seattle 98104 no later than 5 pm on February 17, 2016. The mailing address is P.O. Box 94729, Seattle WA 98124-4729. The appeal should be based on specific factual objections. There is an $85 filing fee for the appeal (check payable to City of Seattle). Con- tact the Hearing Examiner at 206-684-0521 or www.seattle.gov/examiner to ask about or read procedures for SEPA appeals, including electronic filing and credit/debit card payments.

TODAY IN HISTORY

PASSAGES | Abe Vigoda

By Hillel ItalieAssociated Press

NEW YORK — Character actor Abe Vigoda, whose leathery, sunken-eyed face made him ideal for playing the over-the-hill detective Phil Fish in the 1970s TV series “Barney Miller” and the doomed Mafia soldier in “The Godfather,” died Tuesday at age 94.

Vigoda’s daughter, Carol Vigoda Fuchs, told The Associated Press that Vigoda died Tuesday morn-ing in his sleep at Fuchs’ home in Woodland Park, New Jersey. The cause of death was old age. “This man was never sick,” Fuchs said.

Vigoda worked in relative obscurity as a support-ing actor in the New York theater and in television until Francis Ford Coppola cast him in the 1972 Oscar-winning “The Godfather.” Vigoda played Sal Tessio, an old friend of Vito Cor-leone’s (Marlon Brando) who hopes to take over the family after Vito’s death by killing his son Michael Corleone (Al Pacino). But Michael anticipates that Sal’s suggestion for a “peace summit” among crime families is a setup and the escorts Sal thought were taking him to the meeting turn out to be his executioners.

“Tell Mike it was only business,” Sal mutters to consigliere Tom Hagen

(Robert Duvall) as he’s led away.

The great success of the film and “The Godfather Part II” made his face and voice, if not his name, recognizable to the general public and led to numerous roles, often as hoodlums.

But it was his comic turn in “Barney Miller,” which starred Hal Linden and ran from 1975 to 1982, that brought Vigoda’s greatest recognition.

He liked to tell the story of how he won the role of Detective Fish. An exercise enthusiast, Vigoda had just returned from a 5-mile jog when his agent called and told him to report immedi-ately to the office of Danny Arnold, who was producing a pilot for a police station comedy.

Arnold remarked that Vigoda looked tired, and the actor explained about his jog. “You know, you look like you might have hemor-rhoids,” Arnold said. “What are you — a doctor or a pro-ducer?” Vigoda asked. He was cast on the spot.

“The Complete Direc-tory to Prime Time Network and Cable TV Shows,”

a reference book, com-mented that Vigoda was the hit of “Barney Miller.” “Not only did he look incred-ible, he sounded and acted like every breath might be his last,” it said. “Fish was always on the verge of retirement, and his worst day was when the station house toilet broke down.”

Vigoda remained a regular on “Barney Miller” until 1977 when he took the character to his own series, “Fish.” The story line dealt with the detective’s domes-tic life and his relations with five street kids that he and his wife took into their home.

The show lasted a season and a half. Vigoda contin-ued making occasional guest appearances on “Barney Miller,” quitting over billing and salary differences.

But he remained a popu-lar character actor in films, including “Cannonball Run II,” “Look Who’s Talking,” “Joe Versus the Volcano” and “North.”

Born in New York City in 1921, Vigoda attended the Theater School of Dramatic Arts at Carnegie Hall. In the early 1950s, he appeared as straight man for the Jimmy Durante and Ed Wynn TV comedies.

For 30 years, he worked in the theater, acting in doz-ens of plays in such diverse characters as John of Gaunt in “Richard II” (his favorite role) and Abraham Lincoln in a short-lived Broadway comedy “Tough to Get Help.”

Reflecting on his delayed success, Vigoda once remarked: “When I was a young man, I was told success had to come in my youth. I found this to be a myth. My experiences have taught me that if you deeply believe in what you are doing, success can come at any age.”

“Barney Miller” became his first steady acting job.

“I’m the same Abe Vigoda,” he told an inter-viewer. “I have the same friends, but the difference now is that I can buy the things I never could afford before. I have never had a house before, so now I would like a house with a nice garden and a pool. Hollywood has been very kind to me.”

He was married twice, most recently to Beatrice Schy, who died in 1992. He had his daughter with his first wife, Sonja Gohlke, who has also died. Vigoda is survived by his daugh-ter, grandchildren Jamie, Paul and Steven, and a great-grandson.

Reruns of “Barney Miller” and repeated screenings of the two “Godfather” epics kept Vigoda in the public eye, and unlike some celeb-rities, he enjoyed being recognized. In 1997 he was shopping in Blooming-dale’s in Manhattan when a salesman remarked: “You look like Abe Vigoda. But you can’t be Abe Vigoda because he’s dead.” Vigoda often appeared on lists of living celebrities believed to have passed away.

Here’s the first of a series looking at where the Seahawks stand, position by position, heading into the offseason. The salary numbers for 2016 are cour-tesy of OverTheCap.com. Players signed to futures contracts are not included. Unrestricted free agents can sign with any team. Seattle can match any offer to a restricted free agent or receive compensation if that player signs with another team.

QUARTERBACK

Under contract: Russell Wilson ($18,542,000)

Unrestricted free agent: Tarvaris Jackson

The skinny: Not much to think about here. Wilson is the franchise quarter-back, and beginning in 2016 he gets

paid like it as his salary-cap hit goes up by more than $11 million from 2015 (something general manager John Schneider will have to work around in building the rest of the roster). The question is whether the Jackson returns for another season as the back-up, or whether the Seahawks decide it’s time to find someone younger. Either way, given Wilson’s durability, the back-up

isn’t expected to see much playing time.

SPECIALISTS

Under contract: kicker Steven Haus-chka ($3,525,000), long snapper Clint Gresham ($860,000)

Unrestricted free agent: punter Jon Ryan

The skinny: Hauschka is coming off an excellent season, but his salary is on the higher end for a kicker, so the Seahawks will have to decide whether that money is better spent shoring up a different area and taking a chance with a less-proven commodity at kicker.

Ryan is the longest-tenured Seahawk, having spent the past eight seasons with the team. Ryan’s contract was modest, and one has to think Seattle finds a way to bring him back.

The Seahawks signed Andrew East to a futures contract, so Gresham now has some competition as the long snapper.

Editor’s noteHere’s the first of a seven-part series in which Herald writer Nick Patterson takes a position-by-position look at where the Seattle Seahawks stand heading into the offseason.Today: Quarterbacks, specialistsThursday: Running backs, fullbacks

Only question at QB is who will back up Wilson?

By David KruegerHerald Writer

MARYSVILLE — Bary Gould wasn’t comfortable with a three-point lead over Arlington.

Even a 10-point lead didn’t satisfy the Marysville Pilchuck head coach.

But when the final buzzer sounded, signaling a 57-45 vic-tory over the Eagles for his Tomahawks, Gould looked up at the scoreboard and finally relaxed a little after a fast-paced Wesco 3A North contest Tues-day night at Marysville Pilchuck High School.

“You just never feel like you’ve

got it with Arlington. They always have that ability to fight back and come back,” Gould said. “We’ve had so many close games with these guys and respect for what they do. I never felt comfortable. I looked up and go, ‘Oh good, we won. Finally,’ when the final buzzer sounded.”

Marysville Pilchuck led throughout the way but didn’t pull away until the game’s final minutes. Sophomore guard Josiah Gould had 14 of his 16 points in the second half as the Toma-hawks’ defense clamped down on Arlington to preserve the win.

“We were tight and they were loose. We made too many

mistakes,” said Arlington head coach Nick Brown. “... My hat’s off to them. They did a good job. They did everything they needed to do.”

It was a big game for both Marysville Pilchuck and Arling-ton, which came into the game in a three-way tie for second place — along with Everett — in the Wesco 3A North after the first time through the league. The Tomahawks’ victory, their second against the Eagles this season, helped Marysville Pil-chuck keep pace with Everett, which defeated Marysville Getchell Tuesday night.

KEVIN CLARK / THE HERALDThe Silvertips’ Graham Millar advances the puck during a preseason game on Sept. 6.

By Jesse GeleynseHerald Writer

EVERETT — The grieving pro-cess takes many forms.

Everett Silvertips forward Gra-ham Millar has played most of January with a heavy heart after experiencing a pair of deaths in his family. His uncle, Ted Perry, passed away in early January after a lengthy battle with cancer. Three days later, Millar’s grand-mother, Annette Dunnett, died unexpectedly after a brief illness.

For Millar, the most therapeu-tic activity is to continue to lace up his skates and jump on the ice each day with his teammates.

“I’m trying to keep my mind off of it and play hockey, but also be there for my family as well,” said Millar, a Penticton native who recently turned 20. “The best way to deal with it is keep your mind off of it as much as you can.”

Millar was very close to both his grandmother and his uncle, the lat-ter of whom was a longtime school administrator, teacher and coach in the Abbotsford, B.C., school dis-trict before retiring in 2011.

Millar missed only one game during the ordeal when he was a healthy scratch at home against Saskatoon on Monday, Jan. 18. He was at the game, but the coaching staff opted to give him the day off to help him work through his emotions.

Mike Neighbors knows the secret to Washington’s success — don’t practice too much.

Ever since he took over as head coach three seasons ago, Neighbors has only practiced hard one day a week once the difficult Pac-12 slate starts in January. It began out of neces-sity his first year as he only had six healthy players. He’s kept using that plan and it’s paid off as the Huskies entered The Associated Press women’s bas-ketball poll Monday for the first time in nearly 13 years.

“Practices started getting bet-ter when we first did it and kids started buying into it,” Neigh-bors said. “We stumbled onto something completely acciden-tally. Our players think it’s part of the formula for our success and we stuck with it.”

Neighbors said he talked to a few of his coaching friends before implementing the plan and their response was “he’d probably get fired,” he said laughing.

So far so good. He’s still got a job and the Huskies are in the poll at No. 25.

Washington usually plays Pac-12 games on Friday and Sunday so Neighbors gives his team off on Monday. They do individual skill work on Tuesday, have a regular hard

practice Wednesday and then spend Thursday talking about their opponents for the week-end. Saturday is a day to get their legs back and focus on Sunday’s opponent.

“It’s a really long year and I think if you’re focused in what you’re doing, if you keep things simple, and you got a good group that works hard you can be very organized,” Neighbors said.

Junior Kelsey Plum, who leads the nation in scoring at 27.2 points, at first was skeptical of the plan which was imple-mented her freshman year.

“Now that I’m older and a lit-tle wiser, I love it, I get to work out on my own throughout the week,” Plum said. “I get to work on what I need to work on per-sonally and it keeps my legs fresh for games.”

Washington (15-4) has been on quite a run lately, knock-ing off UCLA and USC — the Huskies’ first weekend sweep of ranked teams since 2001. Neighbors’ squad is ranked for the first time since 2003. They are sitting in third in the Pac-12, two games behind No. 8 Ari-zona State.

The Huskies, who have won four straight games, are one victory short of matching last season’s team that won 16 of its first 20 games.

To achieve that mark, Wash-ington will have to figure out

a way to beat No. 16 Stanford on Friday night. The Huskies haven’t won there since 1999, one of only four victories ever on the road against the Cardi-nal for the school.

“They’re coming off a loss and I’m sure they’ll have 100 percent focus,” said Neighbors, who has been the head coach for three years at Washington. “Stanford’s used to playing ranked teams, it won’t add anything to them that we are ranked.”

After Friday’s game, the Hus-kies will face California on Sunday. They’ve only swept that trip once and that came back in 1987.

“It’s going to be huge,” Plum said. “We’re excited for it though. Stanford came off a very tough loss to UCLA. Give Tara VanDerveer four days to pre-pare for anyone and she’ll come up with a great plan. We’re very excited. What an opportunity is how I think of it. That’s how our team thinks of it.”

Plum already has a win over Stanford when she was a fresh-man. The Huskies upset the third-ranked Cardinal, and Neighbors remembers in the postgame press conference that Plum let “the cat out of the bag” about not practicing much. He said it was supposed to be a secret.

Now the whole nation is aware of what Washington is doing.

SEATTLE — As the Washing-ton Huskies prepare this week for what might be the Pac-12’s most challenging basketball road trip — at UCLA and USC — they have reason to be confident.

Why? Because they’ve already beaten both the Bruins and Tro-jans this season.

They also have reason to be wary.Why? Because they’ve already

beaten both the Bruins and Tro-jans this season.

The Los Angeles schools visited Washington for the first weekend of Pac-12 play and both left Hec Edmundson Pavilion defeated — UCLA by three points in double overtime after Bryce Alford hit a pair of clutch 3-pointers to force both extra periods, and USC by two points after the Trojans relin-quished what was a 22-point lead with 14 minutes to play.

The Huskies were fortunate to win both games — particularly against USC, because that come-back was made possible by an ankle injury to star guard Julian Jacobs, who is now healthy — and know they will see two vengeful outfits in L.A. on Thursday and Saturday.

“That’s not even speculation. That’s more so in line with fact,” said UW guard Andrew Andrews, the Pac-12’s leading scorer. “I think no team wants to come into a situation where they had the game won, speaking of USC, and then lose the way they lost. So we know especially with them coming in, they have a big chip on their shoulder, especially with them being up so much late.

“And with UCLA, I bet they’re saying, ‘we had ’em at home, we had ’em at home,’ so now we have to come in and play that same way and we can get them.”

It’s been a difficult trip, histori-cally. Washington has won only seven times against UCLA in Los Angeles in 69 tries, the most recent of those victories coming in February 2011. And the Hus-kies are 28-40 all-time on the road against USC, and haven’t won at Galen Center since 2012.

The Bruins (12-8, 3-4 in Pac-12) are 9-2 at home this season with victories over 20th-ranked Ken-tucky and 18th-ranked Arizona. USC is 11-0 at Galen Center, and has also beaten Arizona there.

Washington enters these games tied with Oregon for first place in the Pac-12 standings at 5-2, and the Ducks visit Arizona and Arizona State this week.

“We’re thinking UCLA, they had us, they hit big shots in over-time, but we battled through and got the win,” Andrews said. “USC, same thing — we battled through and we got the win. So we know what it feels like to win those games, so we’ve got to take that chip on our shoulder and go in with the same mentality.”

Tourney for Huskies?ESPN bracketologist Joe Lunardi

projects eight Pac-12 teams will make the NCAA tournament field, and he thinks the Huskies will be among the last to make it.

Lunardi currently projects the Hus-kies will be in a play-in game as a No. 12 seed, and projects UW among the last four teams to be selected.

As of Tuesday, the Huskies ranked 70th in the RPI, behind every Pac-12 team except Washington State — meaning that 10 of UW’s final 11 con-ference games will come against teams currently rated 66th or better in the RPI.

MELBOURNE, Austra-lia — Angelique Kerber and Johanna Konta advanced to the Australian Open semifi-nals Wednesday on another day when the integrity of ten-nis was part of the tournament conversation.

The first Grand Slam of the season has been overshadowed from the start by media reports alleging that tennis authorities had failed to thoroughly inves-tigate evidence of match-fixing.

On Wednesday, just as Ker-ber began her 6-3, 7-5 win over two-time champion Victoria Azarenka in the quarterfinals,

the governing bodies of tennis announced they will commis-sion an independent review of their anti-corruption unit to restore “public confidence in our sport.”

In announcing the review, ATP Chairman Chris Kermode said the reports had “caused damage to the sport,” which compelled the major stakehold-ers in tennis — the International Tennis Federation, ATP and WTA tours, and the four Grand Slams — to take quick action to address the issue.

A BBC and Buzzfeed News report which coincided with the start of the Australian Open alleged 16 players — all ranked at

some stage in the top 50 — had been flagged for being involved in matches where suspicious betting activity was detected. No players were identified.

With that going on in the background, Konta went on court and beat Chinese quali-fier Zhang Shuai 6-4, 6-1 to become the first British woman since 1984 to reach the semifi-nals of a Grand Slam.

It will be Konta’s first semi-final at a Grand Slam, and it ended a seven-match win-ning streak, including three in qualifying, by Zhang. The 27-year-old Zhang entered the Australian Open with an 0-14 record in Grand Slam matches.

TUKWILA — A couple of goal-keepers with local connections trained along with the Seattle Sounders on Tuesday.

Working at Starfire Sports Complex were Tally Hall, for-merly of Gig Harbor High School, and Josh Ford, who played for the Sounders from 2011-2014.

“(Ford) asked if he could come in and train with us, so we said yeah because he’s been with us in the past and Orlando didn’t pick him up,” coach Sigi Schmid said. “He was supposed to go some-where else and that fell through at the last second. And then Tally Hall is a local kid who’s still not ready to play at this stage. And again (goalkeeper coach Tom Dutra) has a history with him, and he’s asked if he could come in and get himself more fit.”

Schmid clarified that training with a team is different from try-ing out for a team. He repeated that the Sounders are comfort-able heading into the season with 2015 draft picks Charlie Lyon and Tyler Miller as reserve keepers.

“They’re in a fight,” Schmid said. “... Charlie I think showed that a number of times last year with S2. Tyler unfortunately got injured and only played one game there. But obviously these are two guys we drafted, and we drafted them for a reason: because we think they can play.”

There is no real competition for the starting job, which belongs to Stefan Frei for the third straight season. Frei appeared in all 34 regular-season Major League Soccer matches last, setting a club record with 111 saves.

He also expressed confidence in Lyon and Miller.

“Their work ethic is phenom-enal: second to none,” Frei said. “They’re very, very hungry. I’m a hungry goalkeeper as well. So we push each other. ... Hopefully they can learn something off of me. I know they’re willing to and eager to. And the same thing with me: I want to learn something off of them. Hopefully we can keep our-selves going like that and progress.”

Hall, 30, was born in SeaTac and played collegiately at San Diego State. He joined MLS in 2009 with the Houston Dynamo, and was an All-Star in 2011. He made 23 appearances with expansion Orlando City last season before going out with a meniscus tear. In November, the Lions declined his contract option.

Ford, 28, was selected by Seattle in the 2011 supplemental draft. He spent three injury-plagued seasons with the team before joining Hall in Orlando last year. Ford again filled mostly a reserve role there, but he but he started the final game: a 1-0 loss at Philadelphia.

Added time

For the second consecutive season, midfielder Aaron Kovar won the Sounders’ annual beep test and the accompanying title of fittest player on the roster. Cristian Roland finished second and Darwin Jones third. Roman Torres (knee) and Andy Craven (knee) were the only players not to compete.

“I wasn’t playing my best hockey for the few games before that, so it was a chance to step back and digest what had hap-pened and get ready for the game in Kamloops (last Wednes-day),” Millar said.

Going to the rink each day and being with teammates has helped him advance through the grieving process, and he has responded with two of his best games of the season. Millar snapped a seven-game scoreless streak with a goal in last Wednesday’s 2-1 victory at Kamloops, and scored the lone goal on the power play in Satur-day’s 4-1 loss at Red Deer.

Millar has been particularly effective on the power play this season, with seven of his goals coming this season on the man

advantage. On Saturday he tipped in Noah Juulsen’s point shot — showcasing another one of his abilities.

“He’s very good at it,” Everett head coach Kevin Constantine said. “A number of his goals last year were tips on shots from the point. He doesn’t have quite as many of those this year, but I think he’s the best player on our team at being able to find a way to get his stick on the puck. He’s very, very good at it.”

Millar is on pace for the best statistical season of his career. Through 45 games he already has a career-high 11 assists, while his 11 goals are two fewer than the 13 he scored in 70 games last season. He also had seven power-play goals last season.

“I think I’ve had a

couple good games, but I want to work on my even strength play,” he said. “I think I’ve been con-tributing on the power play a bunch, but I want to keep work-ing hard and earning my ice time.”

In the meantime, the rink will remain a refuge for Millar as the season moves into its final third and the march toward the postseason begins for the U.S. Division-leading Silvertips.

“It takes a lot of your mental time,” Millar said. “It’s been really helpful. Basically all I do is come to the rink and play hockey.”

BELLEVUE — Police Chief Steve Mylett defended his depart-ment’s investigation into a car crash involving Seattle Seahawks fullback Derrick Coleman, saying Tuesday that his confidence level is “rock solid” in the investigation and charging recommendations.

Mylett spoke a day after the police report in Coleman’s case was released and said he was par-ticularly irritated by comments from Coleman’s attorney, Steve Hayne. Mylett said he under-stands the attorney is attempting to defend his client but crossed a line when he attacked the integ-rity of the police department and the investigation. Among other things, Hayne said the 101-page report was intended to make Coleman look bad.

Police have recommended charges of vehicular assault and hit-and-run against Coleman and forwarded the case to the King County Prosecutor’s Office.

Coleman was arrested Oct. 14 after a crash that left the driver of the other vehicle with a broken collarbone and a concus-sion, but the investigation only wrapped up last weekend. That led to some speculation that Bellevue police were waiting for the conclusion of the Seahawks’ season before advancing the investigation.

Mylett rebuffed that specula-tion, saying toxicology reports and an analysis of the accident were only recently completed.

“There was no manipulation of timing when filing the charges. We filed it as soon as we were able to present a complete case to the prosecutor’s office,” Mylett said.

According to the police report, Coleman told police he had smoked synthetic marijuana known as “Spice” about an hour before the crash. Coleman’s truck was traveling at 60 mph in a 35 mph zone and hit a Honda Civic.

Coleman’s foot remained on the accelerator for several sec-onds after the initial impact with the Civic, driving it 260 feet down the road until it was pushed off the roadway, up a hill and flipped over, according to the police report.

Synthetic marijuana is not actually marijuana, but typi-cally consists of designer drugs — sometimes similar to amphet-amines — sprayed onto plant matter, then smoked.

Police said they discovered a lighter, a glass spoon pipe with tarry residue, one open bag of “synthetic cannabinoid” and three unopened bags of “syn-thetic cannabinoid” in Coleman’s truck. Police said Coleman showed signs of being impaired during field sobriety tests, but blood tests taken several hours after the crash did not show the drug Coleman acknowledged taking.

CHRIS CARLSON / ASSOCIATED PRESSBroncos quarterback Peyton Manning waves to spectators following Sunday’s AFC title game.

By Arnie StapletonAssociated Press

DENVER — Peyton Manning isn’t saying that Super Bowl 50 is his grand finale.

He’s just saying it could be.NFL Network cameras

caught an intriguing exchange between Manning and New England coach Bill Belichick after Denver’s 20-18 win over the Patriots in the AFC champi-onship game on Sunday.

When they embraced, Manning leaned in and told Belichick, “Hey listen, this might be my last rodeo. So, it sure has been a pleasure.”

Belichick responded, “You’re a great competitor ...”

Neither spoke of their

exchange afterward.Earlier this month, Manning

said, “I’d be lying if I said I’m not thinking about that,” when asked if this could be it for him.

The five-time MVP’s season ends Feb. 7 in the Super Bowl against Carolina.

There are other signs that Manning is preparing as if he could ride into retirement next month.

He let his little boy stand beside him during his news conference after the AFC championship, just as he had taken him to the sideline before one of the games he missed in December.

These are things the mani-cally focused Manning never had done before.

Long after the delirious crowd disappeared Sunday night, Manning walked through the north end zone at Sports Authority Field with his family, picked up pieces of thin blue and orange confetti and took in the scene, including the giant scoreboard in the south end zone that read, “Next Game: Super Bowl 50.”

Pushing 40, Manning will be the oldest quarterback to start a Super Bowl when he takes the field for his 293rd career game, including 27 postseason appearances.

It’s a chance for Manning to cap his most maddening season by becoming the first starting QB to win Lombardi Trophies for two different teams.

INDIANAPOLIS — Blake Griffin will be out an additional four to six weeks after the Los Angeles Clippers’ All-Star for-ward broke a bone in his right hand when he punched an assistant equipment manager in Toronto on Saturday.

Mathias Testi suffered a severely swollen face but no fractures in the altercation and returned to Los Angeles, as did Griffin, after the incident. Grif-fin underwent a procedure on his hand Tuesday morning.

The altercation started inside a restaurant with a back-and-forth exchange that led outside,

with Griffin throwing multiple punches, said a league execu-tive with knowledge of the situation who was not autho-rized to publicly disclose it.

“This conduct has no place in our organization and this inci-dent does not represent who we are as a team,” Clippers coach Doc Rivers said in a statement. “We are conducting a full inves-tigation with assistance from the NBA. At the conclusion of the investigation, appropriate action will be taken.”

It was not immediately known whether Testi would pursue legal action against Griffin or the Clippers. He remains employed by the team.

The injury means Griffin will be

unable to play in the All-Star game Feb. 14 in Toronto even if he is selected to be among the reserves for the Western Conference.

If Griffin is out for six weeks then he would have only roughly a month left to play before the playoffs.

It is the second physical alter-cation involving Griffin in the last 16 months. A West Hol-lywood, Calif., man accused Griffin of snatching his cell-phone and grabbing him after the man took a picture of Clippers players at the Tao nightclub in Las Vegas.

The misdemeanor battery case was later dropped after prosecutors decided there was insufficient evidence.

By David KruegerHerald Writer

The Washington Inter-scholastic Activities Association on Monday denied Granite Falls High School’s appeal to drop from Class 2A to 1A for the next four-year cycle.

That cycle begins with the 2016-17 school year.

The Tigers were the final team to qualify for 2A, barely finishing ahead of Connell based on the aver-age enrollment for grades 9-11 as reported to the Office of Public Instruction for the months of January, February, March, April, May, October and Novem-ber of 2015.

Granite Falls averaged 461.25 students and Con-nell, the first school to fall into the 1A classification, averaged 461.13, a differ-ence of just .12.

“(The WIAA is) holding the line,” Granite Falls ath-letic director Joey Johnson said. “They have a percent-age they go with and they

held that line.”In their appeal, Gran-

ite Falls officials argued that enrollment has been declining at the school and that the trend is expected to continue.

“We’re .12 of a student away (from the 1A cutoff),” Johnson said. “We see our enrollment declining, it has been declining and will continue to decline for the next three years.”

Johnson said the Tigers will continue to look into their options for the upcoming football sea-son. They can join the new 11-team league that is com-bining the 2A schools from the Cascade Conference, Northwest Conference and Wesco, but Granite Falls would be the smallest school in a league packed with some of the most powerful 2A football pro-grams in the state.

The Tigers may look into playing independent of a league “for a couple years and build the program up,” Johnson said.

WIAA nixes appeal by Granite Falls to reclassify to Class 1A

TomahawksFrom Page C1

“This is a huge first win in the second round of our league,” Bary Gould said. “When you’re tied with a team and you give them a loss and yourself a win — that’s what you want to do.

“This second round is huge for us. We talked a ton about (the) future and goals and all that stuff but, man, we wanted to be 1-0 after tonight.”

Josh Bevan led Marys-ville Pilchuck (4-2 league, 5-10 overall) with 17 points and six rebounds. Toma-hawks freshman Raequan Battle scored six points and grabbed eight rebounds and sophomore Freddy Brown added 10 points — all in the second quarter.

“It’s a fun, exciting time,” Gould said. “You’ve got Freddy Brown going in and scoring some points. Josiah Gould hitting some shots and getting the breakaway stuff. It’s fun when you have that balance. ... It’s a com-plete team effort and that’s how you win games.”

Drew Bryson helped Arlington (3-3, 7-9) keep pace early with 11 of his 14 points in the first half. Bryson, who also grabbed 12 rebounds, exchanged 3-pointers with Bevan, as each hit two in the first quarter.

“Obviously, that’s what we try to focus on. When you’re scouting Arlington you’ve got to know where Drew Bryson is,” Gould said. “He’s a special player. But we have one of our own (with Bevan). Some of the shots you’re just like, ‘No! No!’ Then ‘whap’ it goes (in) and you’re like, ‘OK.’”

Senior Donavan Sellgren came off the bench to lead the Eagles with 16 points and eight rebounds. Sell-gren had just returned from

a football recruiting visit to Chadron State in Nebraska where he committed.

After a slow start — Sell-gren scored all but three of his points in the second half — the senior guard got things rolling.

“I think he still had a little jet lag,” Brown said. “I got after him at halftime and he came out and responded really well.”

“(Sellgren) is another just great player, great athlete,” Gould added. “He lit us up for six or seven (3-pointers) at their place so the scout-ing report changed from the last time we played them. ... He proved it again tonight that he can stroke the three a little bit and makes them go.”

A cool moment came for the Eagles in the third quarter when senior point guard Tylor Morton played for the first time this sea-son. Morton had surgery on a broken leg in October and was initially expected to miss the season.

Morton returned Tues-day, making a 3-pointer and taking two charges for the Eagles despite being “at about 40 percent,” accord-ing to Brown.

“At first I was nervous about it and didn’t want him to play, but you try and keep him off the floor,” Brown said. “He’s a senior, he’s a captain, he’s worked his tail off the last 10 years.

“Tylor came out and gave us great minutes tonight,” Brown contin-ued. “He wasn’t expected to be able to walk for months. He’s back after three months, I think, and he was supposed to be out four to five. I was really proud of Tylor tonight. He’d been wanting to get on the floor and he got on tonight. He’s probably at about 40 percent right now and his heart helps us and inspires us.”
