Mine hours extended As long as conditions are met, for a limited time Green Mountain can load and haul materials from 8 p.m. to 3 a.m.

By Kari Bray Herald Writer

GRANITE FALLS — Green Mountain Mine has gained county approval for extended nighttime trucking hours in

order to keep up with a largescale Boeing project in Everett.

Aggregates West, the company that operates Green Mountain Mine, requested additional hours for loading and hauling material in order to keep up

with the Boeing 777X project.

The mine is providing aggregate — rock, gravel and sand — for contractors working on a 1.3-million-square-foot facility in Everett where Boeing plans to build wings.

County Hearing Examiner Peter Camp approved the company’s request for additional hours on a limited timeline and

with conditions that, if unmet, could revoke the permission, according to a Sept. 11 decision.

The mine normally is permitted to run from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

Until Jan. 1, Green Mountain can load and haul material at night, initially between 8 p.m. and 3 See MINE, Page A2

Effort seeks new voters A postcard is being mailed to unregistered voting-age adults with instructions about how to sign up before the election.

By Jerry Cornfield Herald Writer

OLYMPIA — More than 200,000 voting-age adults in Washington, including 21,000 living in Snohomish County, are getting a special request to sign up for this year’s election.

None of those folks are registered to vote right now. All of them have, or will soon receive a postcard with instructions on how they can do so as part of a focused outreach effort by state and county election officials.

The postcard contains the requirements to be an eligible voter and the web address for registering online. There also is a toll-free phone number for those who want to obtain a paper registration form to fill out or have questions about their voting status.

“We are hoping citizens who are eligible and want to participate will go online and register

by Oct. 6 so they can participate in November,” Secretary of State Kim Wyman said Friday. “We hope citizens receiving the postcard will realize how easy it is.”

The state is using a federal grant to cover the estimated $48,300 tab to mail the postcards.

They have been sent to men and women who are at least 18 years old, have a valid driver’s license or identification card and are not a registered voter.

A total of 210,071 postcards went out including 21,235 to residents in Snohomish County and 2,162 to people living in Island County, according to figures provided by state elections director Lori Augino.

The largest number, 74,773, went to people in King County, with 21,117 mailed in Pierce See VOTERS, Page A2

NASA’s Maven reaches Mars

By Marcia Dunn Associated Press

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — It’s showtime at Mars.

In order to keep its nighttime hours, the mine is required to make up about $60,000 in unpaid fees to the city of Granite Falls and file overdue reports on truck departures and water monitoring. The mine paid $22,500 this week and made arrangements with the city to pay off the remaining balance, Granite Falls Public Works Director Brent Kirk said.

The company was nearly four years behind on payments to Granite Falls and at least three years behind on required annual reports. However, Camp

determined that the size and economic importance of the Boeing 777X project justifies a temporary extension of hours.

“This project is unusual,” according to the decision.

“It is exceptionally large by dollar value, exceptionally large by building volume, and exceptionally large in terms of the value of the equipment to be installed.

It is exceptional in terms of anchoring aircraft manufacturing here for another generation.”

The county anticipates that the facility could employ up to 1,000 workers at first and about 3,000 in the coming years.

Green Mountain Mine is allowed to load and haul during the temporary nighttime hours, but workers cannot mine, crush or wash aggregate. The

only materials that can be hauled between 8 p.m. and 3 a.m. are those destined for the Boeing project.

Other work must wait for daylight.

The mine, located about six miles from downtown Granite Falls along the Mountain Loop Highway, has been permitted by the county since 1999. The current permit requires the company to pay Granite Falls 5 cents per ton of sand and gravel hauled out. The city collects these street use mitigation fees from four local companies. None of the other businesses are behind on their payments, and the fees totaled $68,500 last year, Kirk said.

Most of the money goes toward the city’s $6 million share of the Granite Falls Alternate Route, which aims to keep trucks

off downtown streets by steering them around the town and out to connecting highways. The rest goes into the city’s street fund for general road maintenance.

When Aggregates West approached the county to ask for additional hours, the company had not paid the city since 2010, the same year the route opened. The mine also failed to provide required annual documentation of daily truck departures and surface water monitoring.

Company representatives have agreed to file reports for 2011, 2012 and 2013 as a condition for the extended hours, according to the hearing examiner’s decision.

The mine was permitted to start nighttime operations Sept. 11.

This is the third year it’s been done and election officials aren’t predicting if it’ll result in many new voters in the upcoming election.

Fewer than 10 percent of last year’s recipients ever registered.

The state mailed 140,905 postcards and it led to 6,891 new registrants in October, rising to 12,258 by August 2014, according to state election figures. In Snohomish County, the mailing of

At a public hearing earlier this month, people worried that the extended hours could create problems in the community.

Specific concerns include nighttime noise, increased traffic and the decision’s effect on future regulations for a proposed motocross track along the Mountain Loop Highway.

Police nab alleged VOA burglar

By Eric Stevick Herald Writer

EVERETT — A man accused of breaking into a Volunteers of America office in the dark of night got some unexpected company and a trip to the Snohomish County Jail last week.

Everett police were ready for him after other burglaries since Aug. 4 at the building in the

6700 block of Cady Road.

They’d set a specialized alarm in the main office of the building’s pre-school. Patrol officers were immediately aware of the break-in shortly after 4 a.m.

Wednesday.

Because the previous burglaries involved stolen electronics equipment, police pulled out two laptops from their own property room that had been slated to

be thrown away. The hard drives and batteries had been removed and they placed the laptops at the VOA office after recording identifying information.

On Wednesday morning, the alarm was tripped and patrol officers descended on the building.

As had occurred in the previous break-ins, an intruder broke a window to get inside.

Such was the case on

Wednesday. This time a hammer was used to shatter the glass.

“The suspect had been observed by arriving officers fleeing the building with electronics in hand,” according to a police report.

Police retrieved the computers as well as cable and plug-ins that the suspect dropped as he tried See VOA, Page A6

EVERETT — Nicole “Nikki” Wagner, 17, is a senior at Everett High School. She is active in the Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps and wants to be a teacher.

Question: What are you looking forward to about senior year?

Answer: I’m looking forward to being an NS4 (fourth-year Naval Science student) in ROTC. I’m the oldest cadet so I get to be a mentor to the younger ones.

Q: What classes are you taking?

A: I have government, English 4, pre-calculus, yearbook, NJROTC 4 and senior seminar.

Q: What was your favorite class last year?

A: I’d have to say ceramics.

I’ve always been interested in art, and my favorite was always doing the clay work. It was really fun.

Q: So you want to be a teacher?

A: When I was in elementary school, my favorite teacher was my fourth-grade teacher Mr. (Kent) Arimura. He was very loud and goofy and kind of had the same personality I do. He was great at what he did, and it took me to thinking maybe this was something I could be happy doing every day. When I told my mom (Kristi Durr) I wanted to be a teacher, she said, “Fantastic.”

Q: What do you want to teach?

A: I want to do elementary school, third grade, maybe younger. My counselor recommended I think about also getting a degree in mathematics and maybe becoming a math teacher.

Q: You plan to attend Everett Community College?

A: I can get a degree there for education. I can start subbing once I have that degree and maybe later in life going for a higher degree and maybe a degree in mathematics.”

Q: What’s it like being a big sister to Kennedy, 6, and Becca, 12?

When reporter Bill Sheets moved on, this column took a hiatus. We’re glad to bring it back.

Roads are important, whether we drive them or not. I rolled my eyes when I typed that. It’s cliche — because it’s also true.

There’s a chunk of pavement missing near our house, where the road meets the curb. Ruddy bricks peek out from under the familiar landscape of gray, a reminder of Everett’s past, when horses clip-clopped through the steam and ash of nearby mills, heading toward those engines of commerce or away from them, into the tall woods and toward the rivers for a long day of visiting. From dirt to brick to blacktop, roads have long helped communities across Snohomish County grow and connect with each other.

Street Smarts looks at all things paved — from the highway to the byway — as well as those soggy sections between landmasses.

That particular traffic signal is owned and maintained by the state Department of Transportation.

City of Everett traffic engineer Timothy Miller helps us by sharing the interesting answer: In summary, the signal was damaged some time ago by a dump truck passing through the signal with the dump bed up. It hit the mast arm and twisted the entire signal pole and foundation, severing the

cables underground.

WSDOT removed the damaged pole and mast arm and the signal was put into flashing operation. The City installed stop signs for the westbound direction that had no flashing signals because of the damage. The good news is that WSDOT recently was able to hire a contractor to replace the 11-foot-deep signal foundation and the signal was able to be put back into operation this week.

Port Orchard: Accused man seeks dismissal of charges A man accused of killing a Quilcene couple is asking a Kitsap County judge to dismiss the charges against him because jail medical staff stopped giving him his anti-psychotic medication during the trial.

The lawyer for Michael J. Pierce, who is schizophrenic, alleges the jail’s for-profit contractor stopped giving him two medications, amounting to gross government misconduct.

The Kitsap Sun reported that the contractor disciplined two employees following an investigation.

The company’s lawyer argued it was not a policy failure, but a human error that has been corrected.

Pierce was convicted of murder in the 2009 deaths of Patrick and Janice Yarr.

They were shot in their home which was set on fire.

A state appeals court threw out the conviction. Pierce’s second trial was halted after a juror revealed she may have been a witness.

The trial was moved to Kitsap County.

Superior Court Judge Sally Olsen is expected to rule on the motion this week.

Rosewood Courte gives caregivers and loved ones a break

T

he journey for those facing dementia, Alzheimer’s disease or other memory-related conditions is often lonely and arduous. This is also true for the loved ones and caregivers who take that journey along with them.

This is why it is so important to build a support network that can help when the going gets rough. At Rosewood Courte Memory Care in Edmonds, the staff understands the challenges families face and have a number of options to help support both those with memory loss and the people who love and care for them.

Although Rosewood Courte is a full-residential community that many people with memory-related issues call home, it is also a place where caregivers can bring their loved ones for just an hour, a day or a week as needed. Often all that is needed in the early stages.

The nature of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease usually means a loved one will eventually need to make a permanent move to a memory-care community. Family members often feel guilty about this eventuality, even though they have little control over it.

For this reason, Rosewood Courte encourages caregivers to take advan-

tage of its Transitions care program. This program recognizes that it is easier to make the transition to a full-time resident if that person had the opportunity to become familiar with the community through short stays in advance.

However, each memory-care journey is as individual as the person taking it. A caregiver may just occasionally need a few hours to attend a doctor’s appointment or a special event. Or maybe there is an emergency or some remodeling going

on at home and the family simply needs someplace safe for their loved one to relax away from the stress.

Rosewood Courte has a number of programs to work within the family and caregiver’s needs and schedule. These visits can be very affordable. Day Stay program visits start as low as $10 per hour.

Because each person and memory-care journey is unique, Rosewood Courte’s Day Stay program does not require a commitment for future stays. Caregivers can opt for a one-time visit or

Safety is a priority at Rosewood Courte. That’s why the community features 24-hour on-site licensed nursing staff able to quickly respond to any situation.

Rosewood Courte’s campus has been designed, not only with safety, but also with the residents’ comfort in mind.

The buildings surround serene grounds that are secured and protected.

Rosewood Courte also offers the opportunity for caregivers to take a much-needed vacation with confidence. These breaks can often be as much a vacation for the person with memory care issues as for those who love and care for them.

In fact, the team at Rosewood Courte has often found that Day Stay residents enjoy having a temporary change of scenery and enjoy having new people to talk to who value them as individuals and aren’t bothered by various behaviors that might prove unsettling to others.

The staff is specially trained to understand what a person with memory-care issues is going through. They know part of the dementia process can include exhibiting certain uncharacteristic behaviors they would not have engaged in before they developed dementia.

Behaviors that might not have been welcomed at other memory-care communities are evaluated on an individual basis at Rosewood Courte to see if residents exhibiting those behaviors can still be admitted while keeping that resident and

BILLINGS, Mont. — A decision is expected in mid-2015 on a proposal to capture and quarantine wild bison from Yellowstone National Park so disease-free animals can be relocated to create new herds, Yellowstone’s chief scientist said.

The Department of Interior in June identified 20 parcels of public lands in 10 states that could be suitable for relocated Yellowstone bison that went through a quarantine program.

The park includes portions of Montana, Wyoming and Idaho. Its 4,860 bison are prized for their pure genetics.

However, many carry the disease brucellosis, which can cause pregnant livestock to prematurely abort their young.

Thousands of park bison have been shipped to slaughter in recent years to control their numbers and prevent them from spilling into neighboring parts of Montana where they could come into contact with livestock.

A pilot quarantine project in Montana over the last decade proved effective at culling out bison that tested positive for the disease. But that has not quashed resistance from agricultural groups wary of free-ranging herds competing with cattle for grazing space.

Almost 23,000 people weighed in on the new quarantine proposal during a recent six-week public comment period, Yellowstone Center for Resources Chief Dave

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Bison graze near a stream in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming in June. Yellowstone National Park’s chief scientist says a decision is expected in mid-2015 on a proposal to capture and quarantine wild bison so disease-free park animals can be relocated to form new herds.

Hallac said.

Wildlife advocates accounted for the overwhelming majority of those comments and were generally supportive, Hallac said. However, some bison advocates are opposed to the program because they say it turns the bison into domestic animals by fencing in the animals and testing them repeatedly for disease.

Montana wildlife officials offered qualified support for the proposal.

Montana Wildlife Division Chief Ken McDonald said it offered potential solutions to address some of the conflicts involved in bison management.

Wyoming Game and Fish Department Director Scott Talbott told the park that if the program moves forward, the quarantine

facility should be built inside the park.

The comments would be used to refine the proposal as park administrators select potential sites over the winter, before next year’s final decision on whether to move forward.

Hallac said the pilot project in Montana had shown that “technically and scientifically, this is a feasible way to help manage bison and bison conservation.”

But that initial effort also bolstered resistance to new herds of the animals among many in the livestock industry, particularly after dozens of Yellowstone bison were transferred to two Montana Indian reservations over local objections.

As a result, almost a decade after it began,

officials still have not found a permanent home for roughly 150 animals that went through the pilot quarantine program.

Park biologists in July recommended the removal of roughly 900 bison during the upcoming winter through hunting, shipments to slaughter and for research purposes.

It would be the largest cull of Yellowstone’s herds since more than 1,600 animals were removed during the winter of 2007-2008.

A group of dozens of scientists on Wednesday urged Montana’s Democratic governor, Steve Bullock, to establish new areas for bison outside the park to help relieve some of the population pressures inside the park.

At least two men began fighting. It ended in gunfire.

“Several shots were fired from at least two weapons,” Conner said in a press release. “At this

time there are no confirmed reports of gunshot victims. However, a male subject was contacted at a local medical facility reporting that he had been pistol whipped by one of the male suspects.”

More drought forecast for West

ACROSS THE U.S.

Family: White House fence-scaler needs help

Associated Press RENO, Nev. — Forecasters say severe drought or worse will continue into next year across much of the West, including parts of western Utah, most of Nevada and practically all of California.

Below-normal precipitation and normal or above-normal temperatures are forecast in the week ahead, according to the National Weather Service, and experts say the threeyear drought isn’t likely to be relieved in October, November and December.

In Reno, the Truckee River already is a trickle, flowing at its lowest level in two decades for this time of year. Officials say Lake Tahoe is close to dropping to its natural rim for the first time since October 2009.

As of Thursday, 81 percent of Nevada had severe drought conditions or worse. That was a slight improvement from the 87 percent in that category three months ago, but it was up from 78 percent the beginning of the year.

The U.S. Drought Monitor said that about half of Nevada reported extreme or exceptional drought last week — 36 percent extreme and 12 percent exceptional.

Last January, extreme drought covered 23 percent of the state, with only 5 percent considered to be in the most extreme category of exceptional drought.

Half of Utah was reporting moderate drought and 16 percent severe drought.

The most severe conditions were in the southwest and southeast corners of the state as well as a swath of western Utah stretching from near the Nevada line north of I-80 southeast through Tooele and Juab counties to near I-15.

There’s not much relief on the way, officials said.

Even in wet years, October and November don’t typically contribute much in terms of rain and snow in the region. December, however, is the start of the primary snow season in the Sierra, and the long-term forecast suggests a slight likelihood that month could trend dry as well.

“Even if December was wet, the drought wouldn’t be over yet,” said Zach Tolby, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Reno.

There’s a 65 percent chance of an El Niño developing this winter with warmer-than normal ocean temperatures that sometimes produces more precipitation than usual, Tolby said.

At Farad, California, just west of the Nevada line, Truckee River flows measured 104 cubic feet on Thursday, compared with a normal 500 cubic feet per second for this time of year.

Most of the water now in the river consists of drought reserves coming from Donner Lake and owned by the Truckee Meadows Water Authority, said Chad Blanchard, federal water master.

Flows from the river’s largest reservoir, Lake Tahoe, are expected to halt altogether in late September when Tahoe drops below its natural rim 6,223 feet above sea level.

“We’re almost to the rim.

We’ve only got a quarter-foot left,” Blanchard said. “We’re to the point that resource is going to be out for a while.”

The record low was on Nov. 30, 1992, when the lake dropped to 6,220.26 feet.

Demonstrators make their way down Sixth Avenue in New York during the People’s Climate March on Sunday. The march, along with similar gatherings scheduled in other cities worldwide, comes two days before the United Nations Climate Summit, where more than 120 world leaders will convene to lay the groundwork for a new global climate treaty by the end of 2015.

Call for action on global climate treaty

By Verena Dobnik and Michael Sisak Associated Press

NEW YORK — Tens of thousands of activists walked through Manhattan on Sunday, warning that climate change is destroying the Earth — in stride with demonstrators around the world who urged policymakers to take quick action.

Starting along Central Park West, most came on foot, others with bicycles and walkers, and some even in wheelchairs.

Many wore costumes and marched to drumbeats. One woman played the accordion.

But their message was not entertaining: “We’re going to lose our planet in the next generation if things continue this way,” said Bert Garskof, 81, as a family member pushed his wheelchair through Times Square.

He had first heard about global warming in 1967, “when no one was paying much attention,” said Garskof, a native New Yorker and professor of psychology at Connecticut’s Quinnipiac University.

Organizers said more than 100,000 marched in New York, including actors Mark Ruffalo and Evangeline Lilly. They were joined in midtown Manhattan

by United Nations SecretaryGeneral Ban Ki-moon, former Vice President Al Gore and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio.

On Tuesday, more than 120 world leaders will convene for the United Nations Climate Summit aimed at galvanizing political will for a new global climate treaty by the end of 2015.

“My sense is the energy you see on the streets, the numbers that have amassed here and in other cities around the world, show that something bigger is going on, and this U.N. summit will be one of the ones where we look back and say it was a difference maker,” de Blasio said.

Ban agreed.

“Climate change is a defining issue of our time and there is no time to lose,” he said. “There is no Plan B because we do not have planet B. We have to work and galvanize our action.”

The New York march was one of a series of events held around the world to raise awareness about climate change.

In London, organizers said 40,000 marchers participated, while a small gathering in Cairo featured a huge art piece representing wind and solar energy.

Celebrities in London

including actress Emma Thompson and musician Peter Gabriel joined thousands of people crossing the capital’s center, chanting: ‘’What do we want? Clean energy. When do we want it? Now.” “This is important for every single person on the planet, which is why it has to be the greatest grass roots movement of all time,” Thompson said. “This is the battle of our lives. We’re fighting for our children.”

In New York, a contingent came from Moore, Oklahoma, where a massive tornado killed 24 people last year, as did hundreds of people affected by Superstorm Sandy, which the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the British meteorological office said was made more likely by climate change.

In Australia, the largest rally was in Melbourne, where an estimated 10,000 people took to the streets with banners and placards calling on their government to do more to combat global warming.

Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott was a particular target of the protesters. Abbott’s center-right coalition has removed a carbon tax and has restricted funding for climate change bodies since coming to power last year.

China, U.S., India push world carbon emissions up

By Seth Borenstein Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Spurred chiefly by China, the United States and India, the world spewed far more carbon pollution into the air last year than ever before, scientists announced Sunday as world leaders gather to discuss how to reduce heat-trapping gases.

The world pumped an estimated 39.8 billion tons (36.1 billion metric tons) of carbon dioxide into the air last year by burning coal, oil and gas. That is 778 million tons (706 metric tons) or 2.3 percent more than the previous year.

“It’s in the wrong direction,” said Glen Peters, a Norwegian scientist who was part of the Global Carbon Project international team that tracks and calculates global emissions every year.

Their results were published Sunday in three articles in the peer-reviewed journals Nature Geoscience and Nature Climate Change.

The team projects that emissions of carbon dioxide, the main heat-trapping gas from human activity, are increasing by 2.5 percent this year.

On the Net Nature Geoscience: www.nature.com/ngeo Global Carbon Project: www.globalcarbonproject. org/carbonbudget

The scientists forecast that emissions will continue to increase, adding that the world in about 30 years will warm by about 2 degrees Fahrenheit (1.1 degrees Celsius) from now. In 2009, world leaders called that level dangerous and pledged not to reach it.

“Time is running short,” said Pierre Friedlingstein of the University of Exeter in England, one of the studies’ lead authors.

“The more we do nothing, the more likely we are to be hitting this wall in 2040-something.”

Chris Field, a Carnegie Institution ecologist who heads a U.N. panel on global warming, called the studies “a stark and sobering picture of the steps we need to take to address the challenge of climate change.”

More than 100 world leaders will meet Tuesday at the U.N. Climate Summit to discuss

how to reverse the emissions trend.

The world’s three biggest carbon polluting nations — China, the U.S. and India — all saw their emissions jump. No other country came close in additional emissions.

Indian emissions grew by 5.1 percent, Chinese emissions by 4.2 percent and the U.S. emissions by 2.9 percent, when the extra leap day in 2012 is accounted for.

China, the No. 1 carbon polluter, also had more than half the world’s increases over 2012.

China’s increases are slowing because the Chinese economy isn’t growing as fast as it had been, Peters said.

The U.S. had reduced its carbon emissions in four of the five previous years. Peters said it rose last year because of a recovering economy and more coal power.

Only two dozen of the about 200 countries cut their carbon emissions last year, led by mostly European countries.

Spain had the biggest decrease.

The world emissions averaged to 6.3 million pounds (2.9 million kilograms) of carbon dioxide put in the air every second.

MIDLAND, Texas — An Iraq war veteran accused of scaling a fence and making it into the White House before the Secret Service stopped him posed no threat to anyone and needs counseling instead of prosecution, members of his family said Sunday. Omar Gonzalez, 42, was arrested Friday and is expected in federal court Monday to face charges of unlawfully entering a restricted building or grounds while carrying a deadly or dangerous weapon — a small folding knife in this case.

Jerry Murphy, whose mother was married to Gonzalez for several years, said Gonzalez suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder and that he needs treatment. He said Gonzalez has been driving around the country and living out of his truck for the past couple of years, and that he always carries his knife. “I know he’s got heavy artillery, you know?” Murphy said. “He’s got all kinds of weapons and he was trained to use them. I believe if he wanted to make a scene or cause problems, he very well could have. But it’s clear that he didn’t.”

Colo.: Vets get free pot Hundreds of military veterans received free marijuana during a special giveaway in Denver designed to show that pot can help ease their pain. Members of Operation Grow4Vets said the Saturday event aimed to offer veterans an alternative to prescription drugs to help with anxiety, pain and other problems. The organization also says it gave out 400 bags of marijuana-infused products at the Denver Cannabis Giveaway.

“We’re really here to help them with their medical conditions,” including post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury, the group’s founder, Roger Martin, himself a veteran, told KDVR-TV. “There’s a wide variety of ailments. Anything that involves pain.”

Calif.: Emergency landing A Southwest Airlines flight from Sacramento, California, had to make an emergency landing in Los Angeles Saturday after its wing flaps malfunctioned. Flight 1704 was safely diverted to Los Angeles International Airport on Saturday after “an indication of a performance issue” with its wing flaps as it approached Bob Hope Airport in Burbank, according to an airline spokesman. Flaps are part of the flight control system and impacts plane lift and speed.

The spokesman said the system has built-in redundancies for safe operation in such a situation. It went to nearby LAX because the airport has a longer runway and a maintenance base where the plane can be serviced. He said the Boeing 737-700 was out of service Saturday night, has been inspected and will be repaired before it’s put back in use.

AROUND THE WORLD Turkey: Flood of refugees The number of refugees seeking shelter in Turkey from the Islamic State group’s advance across northern Syria has hit 100,000 in less than a week, an official said Sunday. The head of Turkey’s disaster management agency, Fuat Oktay, said the figure relates to Syrians escaping the area near the Syrian border town of Kobani, where fighting has raged between IS and Kurdish fighters since Thursday. The U.N. refugee agency said earlier that about 70,000 Syrians have crossed into Turkey in the past 24 hours, and that it was preparing for the arrival of hundreds of thousands more. Those are significant numbers, even in the context of the 1.5 million refugees who’ve fled to Turkey in the past three-and-a-half years. Turkish authorities said they were ready to deal with the influx. “We have been prepared for this,” disaster management agency spokesman Dogan Eskinat said. “We are also prepared for worse.”

Fiji: Election confirmed Official results from Fiji’s election confirm a big win for the nation’s military ruler. Voreqe Bainimarama and his Fiji First party won an outright majority in Parliament by taking 32 of 50 seats, according to results released Monday.

Last Wednesday’s election marked the first time people in the South Pacific nation have gone to the polls since Bainimarama took control in a 2006 coup. The opposition Social Democratic Liberal Party won 15 seats and the National Federation Party won three. Bainimarama is due to be sworn in as prime ministerelect during a ceremony Monday. Five opposition parties say they don’t accept the result due to irregularities. But a group of 92 international observers say they saw no evidence of fraud.

Where those wild varieties come from Meet Tom Wagner, the Everett plant breeder responsible for the Green Zebra tomato and more.

By Debra Smith The Herald Business Journal

Tom Wagner isn’t a businessman.

Someone told him that once. It wasn’t meant as a compliment, but Wagner accepted the comment with pride.

He sees himself as a plant engineer. A mad scientist. The Johnny Appleseed of tomatoes.

Anything but a businessman.

Perhaps that is why the Everett man, one of the most prolific tomato and potato breeders in the world, remains virtually unknown in the U.S. His most famous creation — the tangy, striped Green Zebra tomato — is a favorite in home gardens, farmers markets and top restaurants. The tomato was a clue once on “Jeopardy.”

“Tom’s Green Zebra unleashed a whole new age in tomatoes,” said Amy Goldman, author of “The Heirloom Tomato.” “He’s made tomatoes fun, and a lot of them are delicious.”

He’s created hundreds of thousands of other tomatoes and potatoes — although only the best are trialed and grown and sold as seed for home gardeners or professional growers. Some of his newest varieties are part of a new class of blue tomatoes, including a cherry tomato called Dancing with Smurfs. Another variety he’s created is dark red and sports tiny horns.

For Wagner, the obsessive push to create new varieties is fueled not by money but by the drive to give something to the world that is new and better and wholly different. And because he can.

“I want to create the best food, the most nutritious food, I can,” Wagner said. “Nobody else is going to do it.”

Wagner, 68, talks fast, as if there isn’t enough time in the day.

It’s not easy to listen to people, he says, because he’s hard of

IAN TERRY / THE HERALD

Internationally recognized potato and tomato breeder Tom Wagner closes his eyes as he tastes a raw potato at the Herb Farm restaurant’s farm in Woodinville on Aug. 21. Wagner crosses various breeds of tomatoes and potatoes to create new textures, tastes and nutrient contents.

hearing. He’s more of a showand-tell guy.

But plants, he can hear them.

They whisper to him. They tell him things. Are they too hot, too cold? Are they stressed? Are they getting enough nutrients? Are they looking for a pollinator?

Wagner lives not on a farm but in a two-bedroom apartment off Casino Road with his wife — and his mistress. That’s what he calls the all-consuming work of plant breeding. It consumes his days and sometimes his dreams.

“They say you never should bring your mistress home,” he says. “But I did.”

He’s a meticulous record keeper. He saves seed from all of his crosses. They go in a plastic bag with a notecard noting the lineage of the plant and some notes on special characteristics.

He keeps thousands of these in clear plastic containers in his apartment. Many more are saved elsewhere.

Wagner has developed a network of people who help him test his plants. His tomatoes and potatoes are being grown in Wales, France, Switzerland,

Belize and Thailand.

The Herbfarm, a high-end Woodinville restaurant, gives Wagner space to grow plants at its farm, and chefs use some of his tomatoes.

“I respect him,” said Bill Vingelen, who manages the farm about a mile away from the restaurant.

“He needs a sidekick that can help him physically. We respect his research. He’s doing things most people don’t, and it’s not profitable. He’s doing it out of love. It’s a passion.”

It seems as if Wagner himself was bred for this.

He grew up on a farm in Kansas. His grandparents bred and sold mules. His grandmother’s chicken breeding skills helped the family get through the Depression. One line of his family hails from the Isle of Man, and includes farmers and herbalists many generations back. His ancestors survived the potato famine partly because they were growing blight-resistant potatoes.

As early as 7, Wagner remembers his first attempts to breed animals and plants: cows,

chickens, peas, beans, tomatoes and Indian corn with bright-colored kernels. He could observe and track the particular characteristics of animals and plants. He could tell his father, for instance, which cows produced the best milk.

Wagner earned three degrees from the University of Kansas in anthropology, botany and geography. He went onto have “about 50 jobs,” including a stint with Frito-Lay as a potato buyer, a teacher and a consultant for growers.

Always, he worked on his own breeding projects.

He started working on what would become the famous Green Zebra tomato in the 1950s. He was disappointed with the green tomato available in Kansas at the time. It cracked and its flesh was too soft and mushy. Wagner began experimenting with other tomatoes, trying to keep the good characteristics and breed out the bad.

It took nearly two decades and hundreds of crosses before Wagner finally produced the Green Zebra: sweet, tangy and lined

with visually-striking yellow and green stripes.

He remembers running into the farmhouse he shared with his parents.

“I showed it to my dad and he said, ‘Nobody is going to want a tomato that’s green.’”

How wrong his father was. The tomato became famous after Alice Waters, chef, author and owner of Chez Panisse, a famous Berkeley, California, restaurant, listed it as one of her favorites.

Wagner makes little money from his work. He started Tater Mater in 1983 and put out a catalog for three years. He didn’t have the time or business skills to manage the catalog and continue his work. Now his seeds are available online through his website TaterMaterSeeds.com.

Wagner himself is a rare breed. Most professional plant breeders draw a salary working for institutions that can support their work, such as universities, research centers or large seed companies.

Independent plant breeders can patent new varieties or apply for a certificate from the U.S. Department of Agriculture that gives them the exclusive right to market their creations in the U.S. Wagner has done neither because he says the process is time-consuming and expensive.

His seed company online has a few thousand customers and doesn’t come close to supporting his research, although at least one company selling seeds for his tomatoes promised to give him royalties. They’ve also agreed to cover some of his expenses until the royalties come in.

Wagner can’t do this forever.

He wants to keep his research alive. He wants funding. He wants help.

His ideas include a non-profit research farm where young people can learn to grow and save seeds.

Perhaps chefs could visit and taste new varieties of vegetables.

He’s looking for someone who can work side-by-side with him.

“I could direct the research for a younger person, and be the absent minded professor.”

Ratio of women in aerospace unchanged for 20 years

By Jim Davis The Herald Business Journal Editor

biz bits

The percentage of women working in the aerospace industry in Washington has remained stagnant for more than 20 years, according to a state labor market economist.

Women account for 1 in 4 jobs in aerospace, a ratio that has changed little since the 1990s, said Anneliese Vance-Sherman, an Employment Security Department economist based in Everett.

“I try not to go in with too many preconceived ideas when looking at the data,” VanceSherman said. “I knew it was going to be a male-dominated industry, but I thought there was going to be some change.”

That snapshot is for the entire industry, from accountants and receptionists to machinists and CEOs. The percentage is even lower when focusing on engineers and management.

“It’s far fewer,” said Sue Chodakewitz, chairwoman of Women in Aerospace, a nonprofit in Washington, D.C., dedicated to expanding opportunities for women in the industry. “It’s not just CEOs. It’s senior managers and executives.”

On the positive side, women

who work in aerospace in Washington make far more than men and women in other professions.

And while there’s a wage gap between the genders within aerospace, it’s been narrowing slowly and surely.

The numbers aren’t surprising for people who work within the Annaliese industry, said Vance-Sherman Melanie Jordan, the chief operating officer for Pacific Northwest Aerospace Alliance.

But Jordan said she’s seen changes within the industry during her career. She now sees women in every niche of the aerospace industry.

“What we need to do is encourage our young people and young women, to ... engage them in math and science in everyday life,” Jordan said.

Vance-Sherman did her research when she was asked to give a talk at a Women in Aerospace luncheon hosted by the PNAA this summer. The focus of the conference was the changing demographics of the aerospace workforce.

“I found that overall, when

we’re talking about gender, the aerospace workforce is, give or take since the early 1990s, about 25 percent of the workforce,” she said.

When looking at wages, VanceSherman found that there’s a wage gap between men and women who work in aerospace.

Men who work in aerospace made on average $89,943 a year compared to $77,016 a year for women, according to Census data from 2012, the most recent available data.

Women in aerospace make far more than men and women in other professions in the state.

The average wage for men in Washington is $65,463 a year.

Women in the aerospace industry in Washington make almost double the $40,932 for women in other jobs.

And the wage gap between genders in aerospace is narrowing, while it’s not doing so as quickly in other industries.

In the early 1990s, women in the aerospace industry made about 60 cents for every dollar that men made. That’s increased to more than 80 cents on the dollar. In other professions, women made about 60 cents for every dollar that men made in the early 1990s.

And that has stayed the same over the years.

Aviation Week takes an annual look at demographic data for the aerospace and defense industry each year. In numbers released last month, the publication found that just 15 percent of engineers are women. And that just 11 percent of women occupy senior engineering executive positions.

The gender gap is an issue that troubles academics, said Carole Rickard Hedden, executive editorial director for Aviation Week.

Engineering schools also see low numbers of women students.

“They are flummoxed,” she said. “If they can’t move their needle, the companies can’t move theirs.”

There are probably all sorts of reasons for the gender gap, said Chodakewitz of the nonprofit Women in Aerospace.

She said it’s a bit like the construction industry, which is thought to be such a traditionally male domain that women gravitate away from it as a career choice. She notes that just 5 percent of pilots are women.

And that becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, she said.

“I don’t think there’s anything inherent in the aerospace industry that would be a roadblock for any competent engineer of either gender,” Chodakewitz said.

place for young women who are deciding what path to choose in their career.”

There’s an opportunity for change to happen quickly, said Jordan of PNAA. The baby boomer generation is reaching retirement age.

As they leave the workforce, there will be more opportunities for women in younger generations.

“When you look around you see a lot of women in aerospace,” Jordan said. “They may not be engineers and they may not be in the executive suites, but there are more opportunities to do that.”

What needs to happen is for young women and girls to take the science, technology, engineering and math courses — the STEM courses, Jordan said.

Women within the industry need to mentor young women to keep them inspired to stay on the course from very early ages through college, she said.

For her part, Vance-Sherman hopes that the research will lead people to ask further questions.

“It’s not really my place to answer those questions,” Vance-Sherman said. “My role is providing information to help industry leaders and help people throughout out state make wellinformed decisions.”

IN OUR VIEW | Community Transit

Free speech: It can be a circus Leading up to this past weekend’s Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus in Everett, the Northwest Animal Rights Network designed a bus advertisement to protest the circus’ treatment of animals.

In it, a shackled elephant hoof stands next to the words, “A day at the circus for your family. A lifetime of misery for them.”

The ad appeared on 20 King County Metro buses for the past four weeks. When NARN tried to purchase space for it on Snohomish County buses, they were turned down; meanwhile, those same buses were adorned with ads for the circus.

Community Transit rejected the ad because it violated an advertising policy that prohibits messages about social issues.

Spokesman Martin Munguia defined a social matter as times when “there are at least two sides on the issue and it could engage in controversy.” Continued Munguia: “We didn’t want people to think that the transit agency was taking this position.”

Here’s where it gets murky — a private entity versus an advocacy group. Is Community Transit worried that people would think their agency was endorsing Ringling’s position?

A generation ago, this fuss would be unimaginable: A debate on a family mainstay such as the circus? Et tu, animal coddlers?

“That is a business offering an event,” Munguia said of the circus ads. If Ringling’s ad sought only to raise money to support

circuses, with no specific event mentioned, “that might be seen as taking a position.”

The topic is divisive, as Community Transit acknowledges, and those who champion the use of such animals (and the attendant abuse of elephants) are as enthusiastic about their position as NARN demonstrators are about theirs.

The First Amendment stew is thick: In 2013, Community Transit rejected thousands of dollars in advertising revenue from Washington Ceasefire, a statewide nonprofit that advocates gun control. King County Metro didn’t see any problem and ran the ads.

The question echoes a 2010 standoff involving King County Metro and a proposal for 12

bus ads by an organization alleging Israeli war crimes.

That spurred a counter-ad campaign proposal by a group alleging Palestinian war crimes.

Citing disruption and security concerns, King County Executive Dow Constantine put the kibosh on both, temporarily halting all non-commercial advertising. The subsequent ad policy spelling out “substantial” controversy is something Community Transit should emulate.

Yes, it’s subjective. But think of it as a teachable moment.

Community Transit works hard to meet its mission of serving the public transportation needs of Snohomish County and wisely steers from controversy. But saying “no” has unintended consequences.

In recent weeks very few listings have appeared and instead several photographs that were not of great interest were run, and there was a sizable blank spot!

I have been very active with the Everett Newcomers and always look for our notice. It seems to appear not very often any more. Why? Is it more important to how your readers a few photographs taken by other readers, rather than informing them of what is happening in our area? I would appreciate an explanation.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■ APPOINTMENTS

System needs a makeover The Sept. 18 editorial, “Without benefit of a ballot box,” highlighted more incumbent officeholders having never got a good enough general election test to validate them or the system. This is and ought to be of concern to voters, as voters.

A straightforward fix is to revise the scheme that provides for political appointments, such that a board of 24 random voters evaluate and use approval voting to select the individual for the balance of the term.

The “phrase substantial advantage of incumbency” is put to use. I think it explains every part of the story, reelection as ideal, as end, the default position. It’s as anti-democratic as is antichallenger, and it’s distracting career ratification overriding vital candidate selection.

Substantial advantage of incumbency can make many an election a non-event.

A way has to be found to pair incumbents against themselves in elections, to gain open seats and a more sophisticated method of term limitation or merely term interruption.

Our current era now asks holders of political capital to spend it on oft-exploited voters, on service so admirable

GUEST COMMENTARY | National Drug Take-Back Day

Fight against heroin starts at home

By Pat Slack

T

he American heroin epidemic is big news these days and it’s an issue Snohomish County law enforcement tackles head-on every day. Heroin and drug use rears its ugly head in almost all aspects of our day-to-day work and almost everyone in public safety comes in contact with the effects heroin every day.

The cost of heroin use to our community is staggering.

The crimes that affect our communities the most — burglary, auto theft, robbery, ID theft — are almost always the result of the need to find quick cash to feed a drug habit. The squatters and trespassers in our community’s parks and abandoned properties are often going to these places to buy and/or use drugs. It is estimated that drug addiction drives more than 70 percent of the crime in this county. In the Snohomish County jail, dozens of the inmates are being treated for heroin addiction at any one time.

How did we get here? The surge in heroin use nation- and county-wide reflects a much larger opioid epidemic, as the misuse of prescription drugs such as oxycodone and hydrocodone has also

been on the rise. Many of today’s heroin addicts started with prescription drug abuse. You may be surprised at who is abusing these drugs and how they are getting access to them. Teens and young adults are finding powerful, legal opioid drugs in easy-to-access places like dad’s dresser drawer, mom’s purse or a friend’s medicine cabinet.

These pilfered pills are a big problem for kids in our county and the country. The number of teens dying from an overdose of prescription drugs has risen by 20 percent since 2006. Nationwide, one in four teens reported that they had abused a prescription drug and twothirds of these teens say they got those drugs directly from family members and friends.

The abuse of prescription drugs is the gateway for many of today’s heroin users because opioid prescription painkillers have the same effect on the brain and body as heroin does. When the supply of prescription drugs runs dry, users turn to the nearest (and often cheaper) alternative: heroin.

What can we do? We know we cannot fight the problem through arrest and incarceration alone and we need

Snohomish County communities to help us fight this epidemic. Research shows that getting opioid prescription drugs out of the hands of those who will abuse or misuse them is one step we can take together.

Gather up any prescription and overthe-counter drugs that are expired or no longer needed and take them to one of the nine locations in Snohomish County that are participating in the DEA’s National Drug Take-Back Day on Saturday, Sept. 27. Last year more than 7,000 pounds of unwanted medicines was collected in Snohomish County. That’s two and a half tons of drugs that were kept out of kids and adults’ hands and off the streets. There are also more than 20 law enforcement-based take back locations open year-round, Monday through Friday.

We invite you to join us in the fight against the heroin epidemic in Snohomish County.

More information about the Drug TakeBack program and take back locations can be found at www.takebackyourmeds.org or call 425-388-3199.

Pat Slack is Commander of the Snohomish Regional Drug Task Force.

Important to keep the no-ransom principle

T

he video of a Syrian captor beheading American freelance journalist James Foley “has done more damage than any ransom ever could,” former Iranian hostage Sarah Shourd warned on CNN recently. Foley’s parents have been vocal about their frustration in knowing that their son remained a hostage as France and other European countries paid a reported average of $3 million-plus to free their citizens. The family wants to establish an organization to provide information to other families, presumably to get around a no-ransom policy.

The subDEBRA J. SAUNDERS sequent beheadings of American journalist Steven J. Sotloff and British aid worker David Haines threaten to put pressure on the United States and United Kingdom to ditch their policy of not paying ransom for hostages. I hope that doesn’t happen. The Obama administration is right to maintain a no-ransom policy, despite its shortcomings.

“Our government was very clear that no ransom was going to be paid,” Foley’s mother, Diane, told The New York Times.

“It was horrible — and continues to be horrible.” I cannot imagine what the Foleys had to endure — seven months of anguish over not being able to help their son, punctuated with horror.

Washington reportedly warned the Foleys that they could face prosecution if they paid a ransom to free their son — a threat that later was withdrawn. Worse, the Foleys say they were advised to stall after captors asked for more than $130 million in ransom for their son. Foley said it was obvious that her son’s captors “wanted to engage with the government.”

She added: “I don’t understand how it is that we were not willing to engage at some level. This made them more and more angry.” The Islamic State angrier? How could she tell?

At a Senate hearing Wednesday, Secretary of State John Kerry registered frustration over the Foleys’ anger at the government. No doubt there are things the State Department could have done better, he said, and Foggy Bottom will try harder in the future. OK, but the no-ransom policy should stand.

There’s no question that the policy is imperfect. As Shourd noted, the U.S. government didn’t stop Oman’s government when it paid $1 million “bail” money to Iran to free two male hikers with whom she had been detained. Also, the Obama administration negotiated a deal with the Taliban to free Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl after five years of captivity. The price was too high: the release of five Guantanamo Bay detainees.

“Everybody is against the payment of ransom in principle” — until a loved one is taken hostage, said Mike Ackerman, CEO of a security company that specializes in recovering kidnap victims. “I think it’s an impossible decision. There’s an unquestionable interest on the part of any civilized community in not paying a ransom, and I think there’s an unquestionable interest of any civilized society in trying to get people back and not get them killed.”

He’s right, but the first interest also prevents more kidnappings. As Gen. John R. Allen told The New York Times, “what is hard to prove is how many Americans have not been kidnapped as a result of the fact that the enemy knows they will not get a penny from us.”

It took four months, but the bodies of all 43 people who died that day were recovered.

Tim Ward, widowed and badly injured, walked with a cane through the wood chips and recently seeded soil. Near him was his loyal dog, Jeremiah, minus a hind leg taken by the slide. Ward thanked all of those who came to help his beloved community in the days, weeks and months afterward. He then led a prayer that spoke of renewal and a time in the afterlife when he and his neighbors will catch up with those they had so cherished.

Ron and Gail Thompson, his arm around her shoulder, wore black shirts with their old address — 30812 Steelhead Drive — stenciled in white letters on the back. They consider themselves fortunate.

While they lost their house, they still have each other.

The couple moved into a new home in Oso in July and they continue to try to help their displaced neighbors.

Dayn Bruner was there with his mother, Rae Smith, of Darrington. Summer Raffo — Bruner’s sister; Smith’s daughter — was swept 400 feet off Highway 530 as she drove to a horseshoeing job in Trafton that morning. Her blue Subaru was swallowed up by the mud.

The landscape, so tamed by sun and heavy machinery a half year later, bears little resemblance to the morass where Bruner and his family searched for Raffo. He pointed to a maple tree on the periphery of the slide and the rebuilt highway as landmarks he uses to triangulate the spot where she was found.

The search and the support his family received has helped him with his grief.

To his surprise, he hasn’t had nightmares, just one dream of a family gettogether. Summer was there. It was nice to see her again.

Later, he added, “We’ve learned many things in the last six months. One important one is to live each day to its fullest, appreciate what, and more importantly who, you have. All can be gone in an instant.”

At 10:37 a.m., the moment when the slide forever changed the valley, a color guard of firefighters in crisp ceremonial uniforms marched solemnly toward the tree where the flag moved limply in the waning summer breeze.

They lowered it to half staff before raising it up again.

DAILY CROSSWORD

LIVING WITH CHILDREN

Pull-ups OK away from home

By John Rosemond McClatchy-Tribune News Service

Q: My 23-month-old son does well with potty training when we’re at home. We use a “potty bell” and he goes every 90 minutes or so. When we’re away from home, however, he seems clueless. He pees in his car seat about 5 minutes into a trip and simply will not use a potty anywhere but at our home or at my mother’s (she watches him one day a week at her place). Would pull-ups be a bad thing to use when we leave the house?

A: As you apparently know, I’m not a fan of pull-ups. Based on lots of feedback from parents, I’ve concluded that they can actually delay training success (and night dryness). There are exceptions to every general rule, however, and this is one such exception. Pullups used very conservatively and situation-specifically during this phase of training should not cause a setback. So do yourself a favor

and use pull-ups when you leave the house. Your son’s petite-phobia of strange toilets should pass in relatively short order.

Q: We are older parents (65 and 55) who’ve been doing foster care with babies for some time now.

Our own children, 23 and 20, are still living at home. We are now considering adopting. Where a child’s ability to successfully bond to a new family is concerned, what age is optimal? We’d love to adopt a teen but are concerned that an older child might form a stronger attachment to his/her peers than to us.

A: The older a child at adoption, the more likely it is that he or she has been bounced from one foster home to another for quite some time and comes with lots of “baggage.” If so, that’s always a risk factor, but no hard and fast predictions can be made on the basis of age, years in foster care or any other background variable. Some kids with very “clean” backgrounds have great difficulty

as adoptees and some kids with very messy backgrounds have little difficulty at all.

The concept of “bonding” is ill-defined but the term can be loosely used to mean an adopted child’s ability to adjust successfully to a new family. In that case, there’s no doubt that the chemistry between the adopted child and adoptive parents is the critical factor. Unfortunately, that’s difficult if not impossible to predict, which is why most state adoption agencies require a trial period before an adoption can be finalized.

In your case, your age could be a liability, but on the other hand, if you’re in good health and live an active lifestyle, that’s definitely going to work in your favor. If you end up adopting a teen, it’s going to be important that he or she not have reason to think of you as old fogeys who just aren’t “with it.” The question then becomes: Can you pull off being cool without compromising your authority?

Revealing a cheater comes with issues

D

ear Abby: What are the ethics in outing a cheater? Someone I know has been cheated on by her boyfriend for two years — about as long as she has been with him.

I know this because the woman he has been cheating with is someone I know.

Last week, I told the girl her boyfriend has been cheating. Now I am suddenly a pariah and outcast.

I felt she had the right to know, but was I wrong?

Should I not have told her?

— Annoyed in Chicago Dear Annoyed: In this age of social diseases, I don’t think it’s wrong to tell someone that a boyfriend/ girlfriend is cheating so he or she can be tested.

However, as you have discovered, doing it is risky.

There’s a saying, “Don’t shoot the messenger,” that’s been around forever.

It implies that a person who delivers unwelcome news will be blamed for it. While you and I would want to be told that we were being betrayed, obviously, your former friend didn’t, which is why you’re being punished.

Dear Abby: My boyfriend and I live in a duplex. We manage it, live in the lower unit and have three tenants upstairs.

One of them, whose bedroom is directly above ours, recently got a girlfriend.

Aside from some loud video game-playing, he was always the quietest guy and has never been disruptive. But since he and this girl got together, they have been disturbing the entire house with their noisy lovemaking. It starts with a few bangs against the wall that become constant, and then the screams start.

I have no idea how to approach this respectfully RIP HAYWIRE

THE NEW YORK TIMES CROSSWORD PUZZLE 1 4 8 13 15 16 17

DEAR ABBY and professionally. — Bothered in Bozeman, Montana Dear Bothered: Write the tenant a short letter explaining that there is now a noise problem that didn’t exist before.

Explain that the screams of ecstasy have awakened you and your boyfriend more than once, and ask him to “lower the volume.”

Dear Abby: I have been frugal all my life. I have managed to accumulate a cushion should I become ill or need money for emergencies.

My oldest daughter is the exact opposite. She makes stupid financial decisions and has lost thousands of dollars. She recently called, begging me to get her out of a financial jam she has gotten herself into. I refused because the amount she needs would cost me almost all of my savings.

Now my other children have stopped speaking to me. They say I should give her the money. — Prudent Mom in Florida Dear Mom: If your other children are determined that their sister should be bailed out, then they should pool their money and give it to her. But for you to give her your life savings with no guarantee that it will be repaid would be a bad financial decision on your part. www.DearAbby.com Universal UClick

‘Gotham’ actor turns to comics

Texas town pledges $1M to open video game museum

Robin Lord Taylor says he hopes viewers will feel some empathy toward his Penguin character.

him the issues “Penguin: Pain and Prejudice,” “Batman: Earth One” and “Secret Origins Special Vol. 2.”

Taylor says the comics set the background for him, dealing with The Penguin’s early years, his name, interests and his difficult childhood when he was teased mercilessly by other kids. “(That) just sort of crystalized where he’s coming from,” Taylor says.

“Gotham,” starring Ben McKenzie as detective James Gordon, begins with the murder of young Bruce Wayne’s parents. In the series, Cobblepot starts out as an underling to crime boss Fish Mooney (Jada Pinkett Smith).

While his Penguin is shaped by comics, Taylor says his aim is to make the character someone “that people can identify with on a personal level.”

“Once you know what someone’s gone through — no matter what horrible, horrible things that they’ve done, you sympathize with them,” Taylor says. “That’s just how it is.”

NEW YORK — Robin Lord Taylor remembers seeing the “Batman” film starring Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson on its opening night in 1989.

But the villains portrayed on film aren’t the one he’s channeling in the Batman prequel “Gotham” that premieres at 8 p.m. Monday on Fox. Instead, he says, the comic version of Oswald Cobblepot — yes, that’s The Penguin’s real name — inspired his performance.

“I’m definitely influenced by Danny DeVito’s performance (in the 1992 film “Batman Returns”) and even Burgess Meredith’s performance (in the 1960s “Batman” TV series), but since we’re starting with him as a younger kid, it was just (DC Comics) in particular that were

FRISCO, Texas — A community development board in a fast-growing northern Dallas suburb voted Thursday night to approve a $1 million plan to renovate a city museum into the nation’s first video game museum.

The Frisco Community Development Corp. board voted unanimously to approve a deal with the Videogame History Museum for building renovations and startup costs, The Dallas Morning News reported.

The Videogame History Museum is a nonprofit that collects games, consoles and memorabilia tied to the gaming industry, from Pac-Man to a working prototype of Pong.

Most of the collection resides in storage around the country and is often displayed at traveling exhibits and expos. The museum has long sought a permanent location.

Under the deal with Frisco, the museum would be called the National Videogame Museum 1.0.

About $800,000 from the city would renovate the space and expand the center’s parking lot The museum would in return bring about $2 million worth of its collection to the city and would contribute $200,000 in matching funds.

Renovations at the Frisco Discovery Center would start in January if the proposal is approved, and museum officials are looking to open in April. They estimate 42,000 visitors in the first year.

Feds censure local police; give lethal weapons

By Tami Abdollah and Eric Tucker Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — A Pentagon program that distributes military surplus gear to local law enforcement allows even departments that the Justice Department has censured for civil rights violations to apply for and get lethal weaponry.

That lack of communication between two Cabinet agencies adds to questions about a program under review in the aftermath of the militarized police response to protesters in Ferguson, Missouri.

The Pentagon, which provides the free surplus military equipment, says its consultation with the Justice Department will be looked at as the government reviews how to prevent high-powered weaponry from flowing to the untrustworthy.

The Justice Department has opened civil rights investigations into the practices of some 20 police departments in the past five years, with the Ferguson force the latest.

ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE

A Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected vehicle sits in front of police headquarters in Watertown, Conn.

The investigations sometimes end in negotiated settlements known as consent decrees that mandate reforms. Yet being flagged as problematic by Washington does not bar a police department from participating in the program.

“Given the fact that they’re under a consent decree it would make sense that the Department of Defense and Department of Justice coordinate on any such requests, (but) that is currently not the state,” said Jim Bueermann, who heads the nonprofit Police Foundation.

At a Senate hearing this month, Alan Estevez, a Defense Department

official who oversees the program, acknowledged that consultation with the Justice Department was “lacking” and he said that would be reviewed. Under questioning, he acknowledged the Pentagon does not take federal civil rights investigations into account in shipping out weapons, but that could change.

“We need to do a better job there,” he said.

The Los Angeles Police Department received multiple shipments, totaling some 1,680 M16 assault rifles, under the Pentagon program, even while the department was under the watch of a federal monitor and had been accused

of poor practices, government records show. The LAPD entered into a courtsupervised agreement with the Justice Department in 2001 after investigators accused it of a pattern of excessive force, false arrests and unreasonable searches.

In Warren, Ohio, the police department in 2012 reached a settlement with the Justice Department to resolve an investigation into a pattern of excessive force and illegal searches.

The department, which expects to have nearly 70 officers soon, recently ordered 30 M16 rifles as part of the program, Police Chief Eric Merkel said.

“We don’t have an issue here with brandishing firearms and shooting people.

That’s not the reason the Department of Justice came in here to begin with,” Merkel said. “I think the public reasonably expects their police department to be armed with a level that at least matches what they might be coming up against.”

A 2001 Justice Department memorandum of agreement with the

Washington, D.C., police found a pattern of excessive force over the prior decade.

Several years later, when the department remained under the watch of an independent monitor, it received from the military M16 rifles that were “converted by our armorers so they would be semi-automatic, similar to what the AR-15s are capable of,” a police spokeswoman said.

The Pentagon program was authorized by Congress in 1990 to help fight drugs, with terrorism-fighting a more recent objective.

The Defense Department views the program, which has handed out more than $5.1 billion in military property since it started, primarily as a way to get rid of equipment it no longer needs. Equipment, much of it nontactical gear such as sleeping bags and filing cabinets, is provided first-come, first-served.

Law enforcement officials say the military gear can save lives and keep officers safe in dangerous situations such as standoffs with heavily armed suspects and natural disasters.

But images of police

responding to Ferguson protesters with tear gas, armored vehicles and in riot gear raised new scrutiny about who was getting the equipment and whether law enforcement agencies were receiving proper training.

The Defense Logistics Agency, a Pentagon branch that reviews the applications, looks at the department’s justification for its request and ensures that administrative requirements are met, DLA spokeswoman Michelle McCaskill said. The agency has denied 26 percent of requests during the current budget year, which ends this month. The agency says state coordinators play an important role in approving police departments from within their states.

“Bottom line is they just don’t say ‘we want it’ and they get it. There is a vetting process,” McCaskill said.

It’s hard to determine exactly how much tactical equipment was received by a single police department because the federal government releases only aggregate totals by county.

Agency leaders meet, prep before Oregon pot vote

By Nigel Duara Associated Press

PORTLAND, Ore. — In the months before a marijuana legalization measure goes before voters, the leadership of Oregon’s largest agencies quietly convened high-level meetings to discuss how to deal with it.

The legalization measure would touch every corner of state government, from the Oregon State Police, who would no longer make minor marijuana arrests, to the

Oregon Liquor Control Commission, which would administer the program.

“They’re trying to not get caught flat-footed,” said OLCC spokeswoman Christie Scott.

The agencies in attendance were the liquor control commission, the state police, the departments of agriculture, revenue, transportation and justice, and the Oregon Health Authority.

Preparation for the legalization measure, which would tax and regulate commercial recreational

marijuana, also included state officials who spoke to their counterparts in legal marijuana states, Colorado and Washington state.

They sought to learn lessons from the mistakes of those two states. “Thank goodness Colorado and Washington went first,” said OLCC chairman Rob Patridge. “But we’re different. We’re way different.”

Colorado, like Oregon, has commercial medical dispensaries, which provided an infrastructure for the fledgling commercial recreational business.

Washington, by contrast, had to build a system from scratch, a long and tortuous process that has crashed the initial exuberance of legalization with the reality of a grinding bureaucratic slog.

Patridge and Scott said the meetings were necessary — if the measure passes, there’s a short timeline between the vote in November and the January 1 kickoff of legalization.

Patridge said he also expects a number of questions when the Legislature convenes on Feb. 2.

The “Yes on 91” campaign and its petitioning group New Approach Oregon raised at least $2.3 million when they were last required to report their fundraising in late August.

The opposition did not report a single contribution or dollar spent by the August deadline.

Marion County Sheriff Jason Myers, the petitioner of the opposition campaign, did not return repeated calls seeking comment.

The pro-legalization campaign will spend the money on get-out-the-vote

efforts in Oregon, which operates a ballot system conducted entirely by mail, and has reserved $2 million in television advertising space before the general election.

Throughout the state, however, no campaign is yet visible: No television or radio spots, no flyers on light poles and no pamphlets in the mail.

The OLCC estimates that the measure will generate between $17 million and $40 million in tax revenue. Forty percent of that money would go to schools

CITY OF EVERETT NOTICE OF PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC HEARING AMENDMENT TO STUDENT HOUSING PILOT PROJECT ORDINANCE NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City of Everett Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on Tuesday, October 7, 2014, at their regular meeting beginning at 6:30 pm, in the William E. Moore Historic City Hall city council chambers, 3002 Wetmore Avenue.

The purpose of the public hearing is to consider an amendment to Ordinance No. 3380-14 related to a student housing pilot project for property located on the southwest corner of Oakes Avenue and California Street. The proposed amendment would provide for the potential for non-subsidized, market rate housing in the event Trinity Lutheran College were to default on its master lease agreement and no other college would assume the lease for only student housing in the building. The proposed change has been requested by the developer based upon feedback from the lender providing initial financing for the subject building.

The public is welcome to attend and provide testimony. More information about the proposed amendment to the pilot project ordinance can be viewed on the City of Everett website at the following link: http://www.everettwa.org/default.aspx?ID=2162.

HOROSCOPE Happy Birthday: Get everything in order.

Don’t let uncertainty or confusion lead to procrastination. The less you have hanging over your head, the better you will do when faced with important decisions. It’s your responsibility to look out for your interests and to maintain a practical path that will protect you from outside influences. Your numbers are 7, 9, 20, 24, 33, 37, 46.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your ability to embrace change and turn whatever is going on to your advantage will lead to a new beginning. Offers made may cause uncertainty at first, but once you weigh the pros and cons, you will know how to react. ��� TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Let your past performance speak for you. Make changes based on experience, fair play and an opportunity to move in a direction that promises prosperity and satisfaction. ����� GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Stand tall and refuse to let what others do bother you.

Prepare to make the changes that will make you feel more at ease personally and professionally. �� CANCER (June 21-July 22): Make positive changes to your environment and do what you can to cut your overhead. Not everyone will like or approve of the changes you implement, but you have to do whatever works for you. ���� LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Jumping from one thing to another will make those around you nervous. The way you carry out your plans will help you gain respect. Be wary of someone who might be secretly trying to take advantage of your stamina. ���

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You will face opposition and are best to deal with it in a positive, patient and practical manner.

Getting angry will not solve anything and will probably lead to lies, deception and disillusionment. ��� LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Legal, financial or medical matters should be dealt with personally. Do not let anyone handle matters that can have an impact on your future.

Do what you can to protect your home and your family’s interests. ��� SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Take a position and follow through with your belief and you will achieve great satisfaction from lending a helping hand. Keep tabs on agencies or people to ensure you aren’t being cheated. ���� SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Follow through with your plans, but don’t feel the need to take on someone else’s chores or demands. Emotional blackmail is apparent and must be kept in perspective to avoid being taken for granted. �� CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Avoid being impulsive when engaging in chatter with others. You are best to focus on selfimprovements that will lead to a better lifestyle or environment. ����� AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You can make career moves that will improve your status quo and lead to greater opportunities down the road. Open up to business or personal partners and you will get the go-ahead. ��� PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Avoid engaging in disagreements or risky situations.

Listen carefully to what others say and offer. There will be underlying motives that you are best to address before you make a decision. ��� Universal Uclick

Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch (24) dives into the end zone, scoring the game-winning touchdown on a 6-yard run in overtime in Sunday’s game against the Broncos.

Seahawks’ overtime victory over Broncos is ‘one for the ages’ INSIDE

By Rich Myhre Herald Writer

IAN TERRY / THE HERALD

Seahawks wide receiver Ricardo Lockette catches a 39-yard touchdown pass as Broncos cornerback Aqib Talib defends in the second quarter of Sunday’s game.

✓ Defense pleases Carroll C4 ✓ Seahawks report Card C4 ✓ Punter Ryan is game’s MVP C5 ✓ Lockette is all over the field C5 ✓ Burley has memorable play C4

SEATTLE — In a Super Bowl rematch that was nothing like Super Bowl XLVIII in February, the Seattle Seahawks still came up with the same outcome.

That is, a victory over the Denver Broncos.

But unlike last season’s championship game, which the Seahawks won in a 43-8 blowout, Sunday’s Seattle-Denver showdown at CenturyLink Field was an overtime thriller. Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning gave his team a chance to win by putting together an 80-yard TD drive and a two-point PAT late in regulation, but the Seahawks countered in overtime with an 80-yard TD drive of their own for

a 26-20 victory.

As Seattle running back Marshawn Lynch dove into the end zone for the game-winning score on a 6-yard TD run, the stadium erupted with an explosion of cheers.

It was, said Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, “a tremendous game. ... It was one for the ages.”

“That was really a See SEAHAWKS, Page C4

Game-winning drive was vintage Wilson

S

EATTLE — Russell Wilson recognized the coverage, he knew it wasn’t the best look for the throw he wanted to make.

But when he saw Percy Harvin break open for a moment, the Seahawks quarterback tried to force a pass into a tight window and the Broncos made him pay.

— and as little as the offense got done in the second half, scoring just three points, the result of a long interception return by Kam Chancellor, Wilson was as good in overtime as that fourth-quarter throw was bad.

In leading the Seahawks to a 26-20 overtime victory over the Broncos, Wilson served notice, yet again, that he is so much more than the “game manager” label some like to throw on him to See BOYLE, Page C8

Iwakuma struggles again M’s lose 8-3 to Astros, lose ground in Wild Card chase

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

HOUSTON — The leaks in the Seattle Mariners’ rotation keep growing. Sunday’s questions centered on Hisashi Iwakuma after another disappointing effort in a 8-3 loss to the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park.

When Iwakuma failed to get through a disastrous fifth inning — he blew a two-run lead before the bullpen took over — it marked the fifth time in his last six starts that he exited prior to the end of the sixth inning.

“I’m physically healthy,” Iwakuma insisted. “There’s no issue with that. This late in the season, we’re all tired. We feel fatigue at times, and we’re trying to overcome that.”

The Mariners never recovered after Iwakuma surrendered the lead.

Houston starter Collin McHugh (11-9) steadied after giving up Michael Saunders’ two-run homer in the top of the fifth, and the Astros’ bullpen delivered three scoreless innings.

“The only thing you can say is that we haven’t done our jobs,” second baseman Robinson Cano said. “The last couple of games, we’d have men in scoring position and we haven’t done our job.”

The loss dropped the Mariners to 83-72 and left them 11⁄2 games behind Kansas City (8470) for the American League’s second Wild Card spot. They are two games behind Oakland (85-70) for the top spot, with seven games to play.

“It’s easier said than done to say, ‘Just go up, relax and play,’” center fielder Austin Jackson said. “That’s what you try to do, but ... you want to get

it done. When you don’t, it’s frustrating.”

The Astros blew the game open when Jake Marisnick rocked a three-run homer to deep left field with two outs in the seventh inning against Yoervis Medina, who has allowed six runs and 14 hits in his last six innings.

“Everybody goes through ruts during the course of the season,” manager Lloyd McClendon said of Medina.

“This is not the right time to do it. He hasn’t been good. Command hasn’t been good.”

That also applies Iwakuma, who was 12-6 with a 2.51 ERA through 21 starts after working eight shutout innings on Aug. 19 in a 5-2 victory at Philadelphia.

In six starts since then, he has given up 26 earned runs and 36 hits in 252⁄3 innings. Iwakuma is now 14-9 with a 3.54 ERA and has lost his last three starts.

“I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t concerned,” McClendon said.

“He had six days (since his last start). I thought he’d be a lot sharper than he was today.

We’ve got to figure it out.”

Iwakuma’s early exit capped a week in which the Mariners saw rookie lefty Roenis Elias depart in the fourth inning at Anaheim because of a elbow injury. He’s likely out for the rest of the season.

On Saturday, veteran Chris Young gave up seven runs in three-plus innings in a 10-1 loss that puts his spot in jeopardy. But alternatives are slim — Erasmo Ramirez or a collection of relievers.

McClendon dismissed the suggestion that Iwakuma is wearing down.

“I don’t know why it would be fatigue,” he said. “He was off for two months. We rested him

every opportunity we had a chance to do that. I’m not sure what’s going on, but we’ve got to get it straightened out quickly.”

In contrast, McHugh entered on a roll: 6-0 with a 1.50 ERA in his last nine starts. He gave up three runs and four hits in six innings before handing a 4-3 lead to reliever Kevin Chapman.

It stayed 4-3 until Marisnick’s knockout punch.

The Mariners appeared wellpositioned after taking a 3-1 lead in the fifth inning. Logan Morrison worked back from an 0-2 count for a one-out walk — the first walk issue by McHugh since Aug. 23.

McHugh jumped ahead 1-2 on Saunders before the count went full. Saunders then crushed a slider for no-doubt homer to right, and the Mariners led 3-1.

“I got some swings today,” Saunders said, “but you know it’s meaningless. We’re at a point in the season where we have one goal in mind and that’s to win ballgames. Unless we do, nothing else matters.”

What the Mariners needed after Saunders’ homer was shutdown inning from Iwakuma. Instead, he opened the Houston fifth by walking Jonathan Villar, who went to third on Robbie Grossman’s linedrive single.

Jose Altuve followed with an RBI double. An intentional walk to Chris Carter loaded the bases with no outs.

Iwakuma struck out Dexter Fowler, but Alex Presley followed with a two-run single.

The Mariners summoned Carson Smith at that point, and he stranded two runners by striking out two hitters.

But the Astros led 4-3, and it was all downhill from there.

Canadian Paxton to pitch for first time in native country

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

HOUSTON— James Paxton is looking forward to throwing his first pitch as a professional in his native country Monday night when the Seattle Mariners open a four-game series against the Blue Jays in Toronto.

No, it’s not exactly a homecoming.

Paxton, 25, was born three time zones and more than 2,000 miles away in the Vancouver suburb of Richmond in British Columbia. And yet ...

“It’s still Canada,” he said.

“It’ll still be fun. It’ll be special to throw in Canada. I’ll have some family there also. I have a cousin who lives there. His family. They’ll be coming to the game.

“I also have a good friend who lives and works there.”

Paxton missed nearly four months this season while recovering from a strained back muscle — and some minor shoulder soreness that surfaced early in his rehab work from that injury.

But he continues to emerge as a key element is what has been, statistically, the American League’s best rotation by going 6-3 with a 2.06 ERA in his 11 starts.

“I keep telling you guys,” manager Lloyd McClendon said, “he’s the glue to this rotation.

He’s not a fluke. This young man is good. He’s a big Canadian. He’s not scared. He’s pretty tough.”

Paxton had to think hard when asked to recall the last time he threw a pitch in Canada.

“When would that have been?” he said. “It would have been summer league on my first summer-ball team out of Kelowna, which is in British Columbia.

“I went to (college in) Kentucky and came back for my first summer-ball team. That would have been the last time I pitched in Canada. That was the summer of 2007. Seven years ... it’s crazy.”

Young alternatives Chris Young’s status in the rotation is iffy again after getting shelled for seven runs in three-plus innings Saturday in a 10-1 loss to the Astros.

Young is 12-9 with a 3.65 ERA overall in 30 games, but he is winless in his last five starts while allowing 17 earned runs and 27 hits in 181⁄3 innings.

“We’re talking (about alternatives),” McClendon said. “We haven’t come to any decision yet.

We’ll see.”

Those alternatives appear limited to Erasmo Ramirez, who worked four innings Saturday in relief of Young,

or a bullpen day with Tom Wilhelmsen as the likely starter.

McClendon all but ruled out a return by rookie lefty Roenis Elias, who underwent an magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exam Friday in Seattle on his sore elbow.

Results from that MRI are expected Monday. But even if they show no damage — which is what club officials expect — Elias is unlikely to replace Young for Thursday’s game at Toronto.

“Maybe bullpen,” McClendon said, “but I think we’ve probably maxed him out for his innings as a starter for this year. We’ve got to think about his future. He’s been stressed.”

Elias has already pitched roughly 25 innings more this season than in 2013.

Lack of support The Mariners’ ongoing lack of support for long-time ace Felix Hernandez is reaching epic proportions, according to research by ESPN Stats and Info.

When Hernandez got a no-decision Thursday against the Angels, it marked the 16th time in his career that he failed to get a victory in a game when he struck out 10 or more batters and did not allow an earned run.

Over the last 100 years, only three pitchers had more such games: Nolan Ryan (19), Chris Short (18) and Vida Blue (17). Three others matched Hernandez with 16: Jake Peavy, Sam McDowell and Bob Veale.

Further, the Mariners failed to score more than three runs in 52.5 percent of Hernandez’s career starts

(158 of 301).

Only two pitchers in the post-1968 expansion era received less support in their careers: Jon Matlack (54.1 percent; 172 of 318), and Steve Rogers (52.7, 207 of 393).

Hernandez is scheduled to start Tuesday at Toronto and on Sept. 28 in the regular-season finale against the Angels at Safeco Field.

Short hops The Mariners finished with a 10-9 advantage in the season series against the Astros for the second straight year. ... Michael Saunders started in right field and went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer. He was 2-for18 in seven previous games since returning from nearly two months on the disabled list. ... First baseman Logan Morrison went 1-for-3 with a walk and is batting .308 (45-for-146) in 45 games since July 29. ... Houston second baseman Jose Altuve went 2-for-4 and now has 220 hits. He is the first player to reach 220 since Ichiro Suzuki had 225 in 2009 for the Mariners.

On tap The Mariners open their final road series of the season at 4:07 p.m. Pacific time Monday when they play the Blue Jays in the first of four games at the Rogers Centre in Toronto.

Left-hander James Paxton (6-3 with a 2.06 ERA) will oppose Toronto lefty J.A. Happ (9-11, 4.35). Root Sports will televise the game.

The series continues through Thursday before the Mariners conclude the regular season next weekend with three games against the Los Angeles Angels at Safeco Field.

Donaldson’s HR in 10 lifts A’s over Phils Associated Press OAKLAND, Calif. — Josh Donaldson hit a towering, tworun home run into the left field bleachers with one out in the 10th inning to lift the Oakland Athletics to an 8-6 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday.

Nate Frieman singled with one out against Miguel Gonzalez (0-1) to set up Donaldson’s game-winner.

Sean Doolittle (2-4) pitched two innings to earn the victory, striking out four. Geovany Soto drove in three runs for the A’s, who have won two of three to remain atop the AL Wild Card race.

Phillies’ starter A.J. Burnett gave up six runs on three hits in his 41⁄3 innings of work. He walked six and struck out three, tying him with Charlie Hough for 43rd on the all-time strikeout list with 3,360. Sandy Koufax is next at 2,362.

Royals avoid sweep, beat Tigers Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Nori Aoki hit a two-run triple, helping Jeremy Guthrie and the Kansas City Royals hold their AL wildcard spot by beating the Detroit Tigers 5-2 Sunday.

The Royals avoided a threegame sweep and moved within 1 ½ games of the AL Central-leading Tigers. Kansas City began the day with a half-game edge over Seattle for the second wild-card spot.

Aoki’s triple in the fourth scored Omar Infante and Mike Moustakas to break a 2-all tie and end the day for Rick Porcello.

Porcello (15-12) is 0-4 in his past five starts. He yielded four runs on nine hits and two walks in 3 1-3 innings.

The Royals’ dominant relieving trio of Kelvin Herrera, Wade Davis and Greg Holland held the Tigers scoreless after Guthrie exited in the fifth.

ST. LOUIS — Dez Bryant had so much distance on the closest defender, it was pitch and catch.

Blown coverage made it the easiest play the Dallas Cowboys made in a comeback that matched the biggest in franchise history.

“No one ever comes that wide open,” quarterback Tony Romo said of the 68-yard touchdown pass that was among the big plays that helped the Cowboys erase a 21-0 deficit and stun the St. Louis Rams 34-31 on Sunday. “You want to make sure you don’t do anything stupid.”

The Cowboys (2-1) had plenty of time to chip away, and no one panicked about the cushion they’d spotted the Rams.

“We never blinked, I can honestly say that,” Bryant said.

Romo has 21 comeback victories in the fourth quarter or overtime, a franchise best.

“Tony went out there and did what Tony do,” Bryant said. “He was poised and he knew what he wanted to do.”

Terrance Williams scored the go-ahead touchdown late in the fourth quarter, and Bruce Carter returned an interception 25 yards for a TD on the next snap, capping the rally.

DeMarco Murray’s 1-yard run late in the first half began the rally.

Dallas also rallied from a 21-point deficit in 1984 against New Orleans and 1999 against Washington, although both of those wins came in overtime.

Report Card Offense

B

Kind of a strange game for the offense, which looked great on three touchdown drives, and pretty shaky at other times, most notably the sequence that allowed Denver to get back in the game when the Seahawks followed a safety with an interception a few minutes later. In the end, however, the offense came through when it mattered most, marching down the field with an impressive 80-yard touchdown drive to win the game.

Defense

A-

How can the defense give up a game-tying 80-yard drive in less than a minute and still get a good grade? Well, on that one drive there were some breakdowns, to be sure, but otherwise it was a nearly flawless performance from a defense that was coming off a rough day in San Diego. Until that final drive, the Seahawks held one of the NFL’s best quarterbacks and offenses to 12 points, and nine of those were the result of a safety and a turnover that gave Denver a short field.

Special teams

A-

There was almost no kick return game for either team thanks to the two kickers’ strong legs, but punter Jon Ryan had a huge impact on the game, so much so that Pete Carroll called him the game’s MVP. Thanks to Ryan’s punts and the coverage, led by Ricardo Lockette, Seattle pinned the Broncos inside their 20 five times. The only real negative was Steven Hauschka’s missed field goal, which obviously was significant given Denver’s comeback.

Coaching

A-

Not much to dislike from a game-calling or preparation standpoint.

The Seahawks kept a very good offense in check for almost an entire game, the offense made some mistakes, but also had some good drives, and it shouldn’t be overlooked that after being one of the most penalized teams in the league last year ,the Seahawks had just 7 for 34 yards.

Carroll pleased with defense

By Todd Fredrickson SEATTLE — It would have been interesting to see the Seattle Seahawks defense take the field one more time.

Their last two series couldn’t have been more opposite, and it would have been intriguing to see which persona showed up for overtime.

But the offense took the overtime kickoff and drove for the game-winning touchdown in a 26-20 NFL victory over Denver, so we’ll never know.

The overall sentiment in the Seattle locker room after Sunday’s game at CenturyLink Field was that the Seahawks defense played well. After all, they held the Broncos, who last season set an NFL record for points scored, to 20 points.

And the Seahawks won the game.

“I thought the guys played fantastic,” Seattle head coach Pete Carroll said of his defense.

“I mean, that is a great, great offense and a great quarterback and a great system. I loved the way our guys matched it up today.”

But at the end of regulation, with no timeouts available, Denver (2-1) drove 80 yards in six plays and 41 seconds to score a touchdown and then added a two-point conversion to tie the score at 20 with 18 seconds left.

It’s the sort of thing that should not happen, especially when you are the defending Super Bowl champions and you pride yourself on defense, even if the quarterback is Peyton Manning. “(I am) a little bit stunned that we let it happen so easy,” Carroll said. “That was lousy.”

On the previous series, with Seattle trying to protect a 17-12 lead, safety Kam Chancellor intercepted Manning at the

MISSED FIELD GOALS—Seattle, Hauschka 46 (WL).

Seattle 13-yard line and returned it 52 yards to the Denver 35 line with 2:12 left in regulation.

On third-and-11 from the Seattle 24, Chancellor dropped deep and quickly into the right seam and was able to leap high enough to pick off a ball intended for Denver wide receiver Wes Welker, who was trying to find open space between Chancellor and the deep coverage.

“What I saw was a route that I was familiar with,” said Chancellor, who also intercepted Manning in the Super Bowl in February. “I saw Peyton’s eyes. I saw him look right at it. I broke back, jumped at it and caught the ball.”

He said he thought he played the coverage so well that he was a little surprised that Manning tried to make that throw.

“I was. I was right there in position to make the play,” Chancellor said. “But he is a great quarterback, and he makes risky plays sometimes, and sometimes you make them and sometimes you don’t. That is a part of being great, high risk, high reward.”

After Chancellor’s long return, the Seahawks (2-1) got a first

down, forced the Broncos to burn all their timeouts, and kicked a field goal to make the score 20-12 with 59 seconds left.

For all the world it felt like the game was over.

“We thought we had the game won,” Carroll said, “But those guys came out and threw just a championship drive.”

Manning shredded the Seattle defense, covering 80 yards on only three completed passes.

The two biggest were a 42-yard strike to wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders and the touchdown pass, a 26-yard throw to tight end Jacob Tamme.

Both went down the left sideline, and Seattle defenders said after the game that both routes were the same, although out of different formations and to different receivers.

“It’s the same play, and we were in the same defense. Same thing,” Seattle cornerback Byron Maxwell said.

With two receivers out to the left, the outside receiver ran a post route toward the middle of the field, trying to draw Maxwell away from the sideline. The slot receiver ran an out-andup and both times was able to

take advantage of a moment’s hesitation by Maxwell to get up the sideline and behind the coverage.

Maxwell said that he had responsibility for the deep outside third on both plays and was supposed to release the corner route to free safety Earl Thomas and get back to the outside.

“I’ve got to get back over to that,” Maxwell said. “It’s really attacking the thirds, and I’ve got to get back over the top.”

Several defenders said those were the only times Denver ran that route in the game, although San Diego had some success with it last week against Seattle.

“On that same drive they ran that play twice,” Thomas said.

“We didn’t see that this week at practice. It was something new that they brought to the table.

But we have to do a better job of adjusting.

“It’s principle ball. We need to be keyed in to what we need to be keyed in to,” Thomas said.

“We’ve just got to get that communicated. But it’s great when you can learn valuable lessons and still win.”

They said the breakdowns had nothing to do with backup nickel corner Josh Thomas being in the game for the injured Marcus Burley. Burley took a hellacious hit from Chancellor on the first play of the series as they converged on Sanders to break up a pass. Burley missed the rest of the series but was not seriously hurt.

Altogether, the Broncos’ final drive was an ugly way for the Seattle defense to finish its day.

But all’s well that ends well.

“That’s why we’re a championship team, because we deal with adversity,” Chancellor said. “We deal with adversity, we always stick together, and we’ve always got each other’s back. That’s why we’re a championship team.”

passing 26 yards to backup tight end Jacob Tamme for the touchdown. Another pass, this to wide receiver Demaryius Thomas, gave Denver the two-point PAT to tie the score at 20-20.

“It was a great job by Peyton (Manning), of course,” Carroll said. “(You know) he’s going to do something and he did it.”

In overtime, the Seahawks won the coin toss, elected to receive, and commenced a 12-play scoring drive. Wilson passed for one first down, ran for another, and then passed for two more. A defensive penalty gave Seattle its fifth first down of the drive, and another Wilson pass gave the Seahawks a first-andgoal at the Denver 6.

On the next play, Lynch burst through the left side for the game-winner.

“We were kind of disappointed that we were going (to overtime),” Carroll said. “We thought we had the game won (in regulation), but then (Seattle’s offense) came out and threw just a championship drive. Russell was all over the field, the guys up front

did a fantastic job, and Marshawn finished it off with a great play.”

“It definitely felt like a Super Bowl matchup,” Wilson said.

“That type of physical play, great teams going after (each other) on offense and defense and special teams, and then it came down to the wire.”

The victory improves the Seahawks to 2-1 and keeps them one game behind undefeated Arizona, which beat San Francisco 23-14 on Sunday, in the NFC West standings. After last week’s loss at San Diego, it also gives Seattle an upbeat feeling heading into a bye week.

“Coming off a loss, you want to get that nasty taste out of your mouth,” said Seahawks linebacker K.J. Wright. “You don’t want to go back-to-back with losses, especially going into the bye week. So I was proud that we fought all the way to the end and found a way to get the job done.”

“I don’t want to over-hype it, but (this) was a special (game),” added wide receiver Doug Baldwin. “For us to take the hits

that we did defensively and offensively, to come back and continue to fight, and then in that last series (to go) 13 plays and 80 yards and punch it in for the win, it’s just unbelievable.

And it speaks loudly about this team.”

There was some feeling the Seahawks might win easily, based on the one-sided Super Bowl outcome, “but this is the NFL and every game is not going to be easy,” Wright said. “We expect every game to be hard, and then we’re going to come out and try to find a way to win.”

“Everyone looks at us winning the Super Bowl last year and (asks) why that doesn’t just carry over (to this season),” said tight end Zach Miller. “But we’re a new team, and whatever we did last year doesn’t matter this year.

We have to set our own identity this year and learn how to do it all over again.”

Ultimately, added safety Earl Thomas, Seattle found a way to win a tough game, “and that’s all that matters at the end of the day.”

championship game today,” agreed Seattle head coach Pete Carroll. “A great opponent, a great matchup, and I’m really fired up about the way we played.”

Yes, the Seahawks won for the second time in three games this season, but only by the skin of their teeth. Seattle took a 17-3 lead into the fourth quarter, but in the space of six minutes the Seahawks surrendered a safety, forced a punt and then immediately gave the ball back to Denver on a Wilson interception, and then allowed a Broncos touchdown to make the score 17-12.

A field goal with 59 seconds to play gave the Seahawks a 20-12 lead, but Manning then did brilliantly what he has done repeatedly in his long NFL career. The Broncos needed just six plays and 41 seconds to reach the end zone, with Manning

Punter Ryan was ‘MVP’ for Seahawks

By Rich Myhre Herald Writer

SEATTLE — Rarely do NFL coaches use their opening remarks in postgame press conference to praise a punter, but it happened Sunday after Seattle’s 26-20 overtime victory over Denver at CenturyLink Field.

“I thought that Jon Ryan just had an incredible influence in this game throughout,” Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll told the media after the game. Added Carroll, “If there was anybody who was the MVP today, it might have been Jon Ryan with his effort because he had probably the best day of his career.”

Indeed, Ryan was outstanding against the Broncos, punting six times and dropping each one inside the Denver 20-yard line.

Three of those were kicks of 58, 61 and 66 yards, and two of those had enough hang time that there was no return (one was a fair catch, the other an immediate tackle).

Ryan had three other shorter kicks, and two of those came down inside the Denver 10, with one being a fair catch and the other downed. The Broncos were able to get return yardage on only one of Ryan’s six punts.

But his biggest punt was a booming 79-yard free kick after a Seattle safety early in the fourth quarter.

Kicking from the Seahawks 20, the kick was taken by Denver’s Emmanuel Sanders at the Broncos 1 and returned 22 yards.

“Taking a safety back there really isn’t the worst thing that can happen if you’re fortunate enough to change the field position,” Carroll pointed out. “And Jon kicked it ...

I don’t know how far he kicked it, but it might have been 80 yards in the air. The coverage and the kick and all that was extraordinary.”

Said Ryan: “You feel like you can contribute to what the defense is doing when you can pin them deep like that.”

A free kick after a safety “is a little bit different” than a normal punt, Ryan added, “because you’re not used to seeing guys running beside you. You’re used to see guys running toward you.

But as a punter, you stand there (at practice) so many times and punt the ball out of your hand.

So you don’t want to overthink it, you just want to punt it. “(The safety) kind of took the wind out of our sails, and we needed kind of a big play to back them up a little bit. “(Ryan) was amazing,” said Seattle linebacker K.J. Wright. “He does that in practice and he does it all the time in a game, and he really changed (Denver’s) field position.

He did a tremendous job for us.”

The irony was, Sunday was Canada Day at CenturyLink Field. The Canadian anthem, “O Canada,” was sung during the pregame ceremonies, and a large Canadian flag was held on the field by a contingent of redcoated Canadian Mounties.

“As a Canadian, you always get a little fired up when you see the Mounties and hear ‘O Canada,” said Ryan, a native of Regina Saskatchewan.

Shead proposes

By Rich Myhre Herald Writer

SEATTLE — There was one final highlight at CenturyLink Field on Sunday, and it happened long after the fans had exited the stadium following the Seahawks’ victory over the Broncos.

Seattle backup cornerback DeShawn Shead proposed to his girlfriend, Jessica Martinez, who is from Sammamish. Shead proposed at midfield in a moment witnessed by several Seahawks teammates, including cornerback Richard Sherman, linebacker Bobby Wagner and wide receiver Jermaine Kearse. With his teammates using cell phones to record the moment, Shead went to one knee and popped the question.

After saying yes, Ms. Martinez ended up with a large bouquet of roses and, of course, a ring.

Seahawks wide receiver Ricardo Lockette (83) catches a 39-yard touchdown pass as Broncos’ cornerback Aqib Talib tries to defend in the first half.

Lockette does a little bit of everything

By Todd Fredrickson Herald Writer

SEATTLE — Special teams, offense, and even defense, sort of.

Ricardo Lockette did a little bit of everything for the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday in a 26-20 victory over Denver.

The fourth-year wide receiver scored Seattle’s first touchdown on a long reception, prevented a potentially game-changing play by the Denver defense moments earlier, and was a demon in punt coverage all day at CenturyLink Field.

“I thought Ricardo Lockette was unbelievable today,” Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson said.

“That guy, he has so much ability, so much speed, so explosive.”

Lockette had only one catch, but it went for 39 yards and a touchdown in the second quarter.

With the score tied 3-3, Lockette used his track star speed to get a step behind Denver cornerback Aqib Talib down the right sideline, then used his 6-foot-2 frame to shield Talib away from the ball as it dropped into his hands in the end zone.

“That’s what defenders try to do,” Lockette said of his ability to keep good position on Talib. “They try to wall you out of bounds when the ball’s in the

air.”

Lockette also made like a defensive back five plays earlier.

On a quick out to the right sideline, Talib jumped the route and was in position for an easy interception and touchdown return.

But Lockette climbed Talib’s back and knocked the ball away.

He was called for offensive pass interference, but that was a far better outcome than a pick six.

“That was a big play,” Seattle head coach Pete Carroll said.

“He went on defense. He got a penalty, but it was worth it at the time because that might have been a touchdown for them.”

Lockette declined to say where the breakdown was on the play, whether Wilson made a poor read or poor throw or whether he had run a poor route.

All he said was that as soon as the ball left Wilson’s hand he knew he had to become the defensive back on the play.

“When the ball’s in the air and the defender has a chance to catch an interception he turns into a receiver and I turn into a DB,” Lockette said. “I made a great play on the ball ... as a DB.” In addition, Lockette was sensational in punt coverage, complementing the brilliant work of Seattle punter Jon Ryan.

In the first quarter, Lockette got downfield fast enough to

force a fair catch on a 61-yard punt. In the fourth, he tripped up Denver punt returner Isaiah Burse for a return of zero yards on a 58-yard punt.

“He had great coverage all day long,” Carroll said of Lockette. “I don’t know that anybody’s doing it any better than he is right now.

He’s incredibly effective, and he is so fast, and his intensity and the attitude he has that he brings to the coverage teams is phenomenal.”

Lockette said there’s nothing magic about what he does in coverage.

“I just come back to my track training,” he said. “It’s pretty much that first 20 yards. I just dig and dig and dig, and then I look up and the returner’s right there in my face.”

Lockette won the NCAA Division II 200-meter championship at Fort Valley State, and he has run 40 yards in 4.27 seconds.

Speed like that can get you into the NFL as a special teamer — if you’re willing to hit somebody at the end of it — and Lockette bounced around between practice squads and special teams duties in Seattle, San Francisco, and Chicago for two and a half years.

He finally seemed to stick halfway through last season as a special teamer in Seattle, and his next goal is to play a bigger role

in the Seahawks offense.

He is certainly making a case for it. Lockette already has three catches for two touchdowns this season after making seven catches for one touchdown in his first three seasons.

“I think we earn responsibility.

I don’t know what I’ve earned today, but I’ll talk to (offensive coordinator Darrell) Bevell and coach Carroll about that,” Lockette said.

Lockette is one of four Seattle wide receivers who entered the league as undrafted free agents.

Doug Baldwin, Jermaine Kearse, and Juanita High School graduate Bryan Walters are the others, and Lockette knows that Seattle is a place where he will continue to have a fair chance to earn his keep and his playing time.

“It’s not really about finding a home,” he said when asked if he has done that. “It’s just about being the best player you can be on every snap.”

“I’m just trying to be the best player I can possibly be,” Lockette said. “I’m not thinking, ‘Make a play.’ I’m just thinking, ‘Do everything that you’ve been taught.’ If I do that I feel like I’ll be successful.”

And if the Seattle secondary, the so-called Legion of Boom, ever needs a stand-in, Lockette says he’s ready.

“LOB, baby.”

SEAHAWKS | Notebook

Chancellor lowers the boom on teammate Burley room for an IV when he felt cramps coming on again. Thomas was briefly replaced by Jeron Johnson before returning to action.

The Seahawks were without linebacker Bruce Irvin, who sustained a rib injury in practice Wednesday.

By John Boyle And Rich Myhre Herald Writers

SEATTLE — Unfortunately for Seattle Seahawks cornerback Marcus Burley, his most memorable play in Sunday’s win over the Denver Broncos was a painful one.

On Denver’s game-tying drive, Burley found out what a lot of receivers and tight ends have learned since 2010 — that safety Kam Chancellor is one of the hardest hitters in the NFL. On Denver’s first play of that final fourth-quarter drive, Burley was covering Emmanuel Sanders down the sideline and was in position to make a play, but so too was Chancellor, who came flying in with a hit that missed Sanders and landed squarely on Burley.

“That’s probably the hardest I’ve ever been hit,” said Burley, who could laugh about it after the game. “He just knocked the wind out of me for a second, but I’m fine.”

But Burley’s game consisted of a lot more than taking a shot from his teammate. The nickel cornerback who Seattle acquired in a trade on Aug. 30, and who

Rare miss Steven Hauschka was wide left with a field goal try late in the third quarter, and it was a rare miss for the Seattle place-kicker. Hauschka was not available for comment after the game, but punter Jon Ryan, who holds for Hauschka, said “he’s probably going to lose some sleep over it.

It’s pretty rare for him to miss, but it happens every once in a while.”

now has a big role on the defense thank to Jeremy Lane’s groin injury, spent part of his day covering one of the game’s best slot receivers, Wes Welker. Welker finished the game with six catches, but not all of that came on Burley, and Burley did have two pass breakups, including one to force a punt when he made a very good play to break up a slant route intended for Welker.

“Being the new guy and who they were targeting, and with Wes Welker being a great

receiver and Peyton Manning being a great quarterback, you have to prepare for them to go after me, so you have to handle your business,” Burley said.

Injury update In addition to Burley, two other players briefly left the game, but both returned to action. Left tackle Russell Okung left with a shoulder injury and was briefly replaced by Alvin Bailey, but returned on Seattle’s next offensive series and said he was fine after the game. Safety Earl Thomas, who had to leave last week’s game with cramps in his calf, went to the locker

Trick play The Seahawks unveiled a little razzle-dazzle early in the game with wide receiver Jermaine Kearse taking a little toss from quarterback Russell Wilson in the backfield, and then throwing back to Wilson curling out of the backfield. The play, on first down after Seattle recovered a Denver fumble, gained 17 yards to the Broncos 6-yard line. It set up a field goal for an early 3-0 Seahawks lead.

“It was fun,” Kearse said. “That’s the first pass I’ve ever thrown in a game in my life. How’d it look?”

The Seahawks had practiced the play last week “a little bit, but I didn’t think we were actually going to call it,” Kearse said. “I was a little surprised. But it was just fun to have a play like that and to be able to complete it.”

Logano wins, advances to next round

By Dan Gelston

International Speedway.

Logano raced to his fourth victory of the season, leading 73 laps and surviving a NASCAR seasonhigh 15 cautions that wrecked results for several Chase drivers.

Keselowski led 78 laps, hit the wall, and still was in the hunt for a win. He failed in his bid to win a third straight Cup race, though he salvaged a seventh-place finish.

Keselowski advanced with a win in the Chase opener at Chicagoland.

Team Penske has won four of the last five races dating to Bristol.

Chase drivers took seven of the first 10 spots at New Hampshire. Kevin Harvick was third, Jimmie Johnson

Associated Press

LOUDON, N.H. — Joey Logano pulled away on the restart to win a green-white-checkered finish Sunday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway and advance to the second round of the Chase for the Sprint Cup Championship.

Logano and Team Penske teammate Brad Keselowski have both advanced to the next round. Four drivers will be eliminated after every third race, and a win guarantees a driver an automatic berth into the next round. The first cutoff race is next week at Dover

we’re doing what we’ve got to do to win this thing, both teams are.”

Team Penske has stamped itself as an early favorite to win a championship for owner Roger Penske.

“I went to sleep last night hoping for a top-five,” Logano said.

“We’ve got to keep our eye on the prize and think about the big trophy at the end.”

The staggering number of cautions slowed the 300-mile race and wrecked the chances for several Chase drivers to contend for a win. Denny Hamlin, Kyle Busch and Matt Kenseth, Jeff Gordon and Kasey Kahne all finished outside of the top 20.

PULLMAN, Wash. — Underdog Washington State almost beat No. 2 Oregon on Saturday, but Cougars quarterback Connor Halliday was not impressed.

“I think we played well, but I think we left a lot of plays out there,” Halliday said. “We’re putting ourselves in good positions, we just have to finish.”

The Ducks held off Washington State 38-31 in an entertaining matchup of two of the top offenses in the nation.

“I was proud of the effort and

proud of some of our young guys that were able to perform at the level they did,” Cougars coach Mike Leach said. “But we’ve got to get better.”

The score was tied at 31-all in the fourth quarter. Oregon embarked on a 79-yard drive in nine plays that ended with Marcus Mariota’s 6-yard touchdown pass to Keanon Lowe for the winning points.

“We can build off of what we did,” Washington State defensive lineman Xavier Cooper said. “We did what we needed to do and we made plays.

“If we can do it against Oregon

we can do it against anybody,” Cooper added.

“A road win in this conference is hard,” Oregon coach Mark Helfrich said after his team came back to beat Washington State for the eighth consecutive time. “We are 4-0 and we got a big win on the road.”

Mariota threw for 329 yards and five touchdowns for Oregon, staying in the hunt for the Heisman Trophy. Mariota completed 21 of 25 passes and was not intercepted.

“Ridiculous,” Helfrich said of Mariota, who also rushed for 58 net yards despite being sacked seven times.

diminish his play.

“Keep talking up Andrew Luck,” Broncos cornerback Chris Harris told reporters in Denver’s locker room, speaking of the Colts’ quarterback. “Russell Wilson is better than Luck. No question.”

There are a lot of reasons the Seahawks are 30-10, playoffs included, with Wilson as their starting quarterback. Quarterbacks don’t win games on their own. Yes, the defense and running game have been a big part of Seattle’s success. But don’t sell Wilson’s impact short. His ability to come through under pressure time and time again is a huge reason why Seattle is 4-0 in overtime.

And why, when facing the top echelon of NFL quarterbacks

— Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady — the Seahawks are 7-0, postseason included, with Wilson throwing 14 touchdowns and 1 interception.

“Russell does not get fazed,” Carroll said. “... He was just fantastic today, just an incredible effort. The finish to that day, making those first downs, just amazing play by the quarterback.

“He’s an amazing football player, he really is.”

Of course the overtime victory wasn’t Wilson’s alone.

The defense was spectacular aside from the breakdowns that allowed Denver to drive 80-yards in less than a minute for the tying score. And Marshawn Lynch ran for 88 hard-earned yards, including the 6-yard game-winner.

But the final drive was vintage Wilson, with the quarterback completing four of six passes for 35 yards — and one incompletion was a throwaway under

pressure — and scrambling for 21 yards on four carries, including runs to convert on third-and-3 and third-and-4.

“I don’t think anyone ever doubts Russell, he’s just too good,” tight end Zach Miller said.

“If you think he’s struggling at all, you know he’s going to make plays like he did with his feet that were so huge there in the second half and overtime. We always trust in him, you know he’s going to win the game for you at some point, and if he doesn’t, then they must have done something really amazing.”

Of course, Wilson needed to orchestrate an overtime touchdown drive in large part because he and the offense struggled in the second half.

Seattle’s second half possessions went punt, punt, missed field goal, safety, interception, punt, field goal, then a kneel down to end regulation after Denver’s game-tying drive. Considering that field goal was the

result of a 52-yard interception return, that’s a pretty poor half, and a rather puzzling one as well considering how effectively the Seahawks moved the ball on their way to two touchdowns in the second quarter.

The particularly rough stretch for Wilson and the offense came in the fourth quarter when the Broncos got back in the game in a hurry thanks to Seahawk miscues. With Seattle enjoying a seemingly comfortable 14 point, fourth-quarter lead, Wilson took a sack at his 1-yard line, a play that seemingly saw him hold the ball too long given the situation.

After a false start backed Seattle up a few inches, Lynch was tackled in the end zone for a safety.

Then after Seattle’s defense came up with another stop following that safety, Wilson’s next pass attempt was the aforementioned interception. That’s nine points gifted to the Broncos in a very short span to make it a one-possession game.

But then, when the game was on the line, when the choices were score a touchdown or take your chances with Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning on the field, Wilson and Seattle’s offense methodically went down the field on a 13-play, 80-yard drive that saw Wilson account for 56 of those yards.

“There’s really nothing you can say,” receiver Doug Baldwin said of Wilson. “I’m speechless.

For him to be as poised as he is back there, making the reads he’s making, and not making bad decisions but making great decisions in every facet, whether it’s throwing the ball or taking off and using his legs to get first downs, it’s unbelievable. ... He did a phenomenal job all night.”

Well, not quite all night, but once again, Wilson came through when it mattered most.

Broncos’ Manning: ‘Too little, too late’

By Meg Wochnick The News Tribune

1126330

SEATTLE — In the closing seconds of the Seattle Seahawks’ 26-20 overtime win over the Denver Broncos Sunday, quarterback Peyton Manning stood alone on the sideline. His hands were on his hips, as the chances to fasten his helmet’s chin-strap to orchestrate a game-winning drive slipped away as the Seahawks marched 80 yards on 13 plays.

Marshawn Lynch’s 6-yard touchdown run capped overtime’s only first series, and left Manning and the offense stranded on the sideline after converting points in two of the final three possessions in Seahawks’ territory to force overtime.

“It proved to be too little, too late,” Manning said.

Indeed, it was.

A series earlier, Manning did all he could do, marching the offense 80 yards in 41 seconds. He threw a 26-yard TD pass to Jacob Tamme and a two-point conversion pass to Demaryius Thomas to tie the score at 20-20 and force overtime Sunday after the Broncos trailed by as many as 14 points (17-3).

That came after Chris Harris’ interception of Russell Wilson to set up short yardage for a five-play, 19-yard drive to pull within 17-12.

But in-between was a failed opportunity with 2:12 remaining when Kam Chancellor picked off a pass intended for Wes Welker on third-and-11 from the 24, a failed drive that Manning called “disappointing.”

“We had the chance to take the lead,” said Manning, who completed 31 of 49 passes for 303 yards,

“which would’ve put us in the position to win the game.”

The final three drives were nothing like what happened through the first three quarters, where they mustered just three points and had almost as many run plays (14) as total completions (18). Counting last February’s Super Bowl XLVIII and the first three quarters Sunday, Denver had just 11 points on Seattle’s defense.

In his season debut after missing the first two weeks of the season while suspended for violating the league’s drug policy (a suspension that was cut short following the league and players’ association new policy agreement), Welker made his impact late in the final three scoring drives.

Targeted nine times by Manning, he finished six catches for 60 yards.
