Developer’s offer raises eyes

ELECTION 2014 | U.S. House, 2nd Congressional District

Uphill battle not a Taking the writing off the wall worry

By Noah Haglund Herald Writer

WOODWAY — A developer seeking to build more than 3,000 condos at Point Wells has offered to pay for extra Snohomish

County planning staff to expedite the project.

That has some neighbors worried about a potential conflict of interest. Their issue isn’t with Blue Square Real Estate’s offer to pay for three county staff

positions as much as the wording in a draft contract.

“It needs to do all that it can to avoid the appearance of favoritism,” said Tom McCormick, a retired lawyer who lives nearby in Shoreline.

Point Wells is the largest residential development proposed in Snohomish County.

It would occupy about 60 acres of

unincorporated waterfront next to Woodway. The land currently has fuel tanks and an asphalt plant.

The project would take up to 20 years to complete and would include high-rise condo towers of up to 17 stories, shops and a public pier.

EVERETT — Crude gangstyle graffiti is scrawled across wooden fences, street signs, and power poles near Mariner High School.

Students decided to do something about it.

Determined to reclaim their neighborhood, students led a clean up effort Saturday. About 200 students, parents, property owners and people from the neighborhood were expected to spend the morning removing graffiti from signs and repainting fences.

vandalism,” senior Ray McCartha said.

Graffiti increased over the summer in the area surrounding Mariner, at 200 120th St. SW, said Lt. Doug Jeske of the Snohomish County Regional Drug and Gang Task Force.

While that’s a signal that there is a gang influence in the area, there doesn’t seem to be a gang problem behind what is happening. Typically, an increase in tagging would have correlating trends in crime, but that hasn’t happened, Jeske said.

EVERETT — Democratic U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen brings a battlehardened resume and a wealth of campaign cash as he seeks an eighth term in Congress.

His challenger in Washington’s 2nd District, BJ Guillot, hopes to pull off a long-shot victory on Nov. 4, despite a shortage of experience and money. That leaves the libertarian-minded Republican relying on the appeal of an unconventional candidacy and policy differences with Larsen.

“It’s always an uphill battle when you’re fighting an incumbent,” Guillot said. “I think I do have a chance. I’m a more moderate Republican than what people have seen in recent times.”

Larsen doesn’t take his job for granted, even after winning more than 61 percent of the vote against his Republican opponent two years ago.

“I’m working hard to try to get people back to work,” he said.

“The benefits of the recovery haven’t spread to everybody.”

Larsen took 55.6 percent of the Aug. 5 primary vote compared to Guillot’s 32.7 percent.

Another 11.7 percent went for Mike Lapointe, an Independent candidate who championed environmental causes and the Occupy movement.

The district covers all of Island and San Juan counties, plus western Snohomish, Skagit and Whatcom counties. It includes Everett, Marysville, Lynnwood, Mountlake Terrace, Mukilteo, Arlington, Stanwood and Tulalip.

Larsen, 49, grew up in Arlington, one of eight siblings. He and his wife, Tiia, have two sons.

He had been working as a Washington State Dental Association lobbyist in 1997, when he started his political career with a successful run for the Snohomish County Council.

Everett keeps pot business restrictions

By Chris Winters Herald Writer

EVERETT — Marijuana businesses seeking to open in Everett will continue to operate under an interim ordinance that must be renewed every six months.

The city council Wednesday unanimously approved the extension despite pleas from marijuana advocates and

businesses to either drop or loosen the restrictions.

By doing so, the city of Everett bought time in which it can debate the issue, or wait for the Legislature to pass a law on revenue sharing.

Among other restrictions, the city’s ordinance is tougher than the state guidelines in that it limits producers to a maximum of 2,000 square feet of canopy and

prohibits retail businesses from operating within 2,500 feet of each other.

One marijuana store, High Society at 1824 Broadway, has opened in the city. Four other retail licenses have been issued, but the businesses haven’t yet opened.

Jamie Curtismith, a marijuana business activist, told the council that instead of helping legitimate

pot businesses thrive, the city is actually limiting their ability to compete with the black market.

Councilwoman Brenda Stonecipher voted for the ordinance but said she wouldn’t renew it in six months, and said the city needed to do more research and work to craft a permanent rule that reflects the will of the 57 percent of Everett voters who supported legalization in I-502.

Mayor Ray Stephanson echoed other comments about not receiving tax revenue from the state.

“I’m always hopeful that the Legislature will provide us the resources, but I think we have to plan as if they won’t, frankly,” Stephanson said.

Jeff Scherrer said he started his own computer reselling business with $1,000 and built it into an enterprise that seven years later was making $5 million in annual sales and had 17 employees.

Scherrer said he thinks that business background, as well as living in the Puget Sound region for more than 50 years, have been good preparation for what he hopes will be his next challenge, serving in the Legislature.

Scherrer, a Republican, is opposed by Lillian Ortiz-Self, a Democrat who was appointed in January to the 21st District House seat. She took over from State Rep. Marko Liias, who was appointed to replace State Sen. Paull Shin, who left office in January for health reasons.

Ortiz-Self said she thinks her experience as a middle-school counselor gives her valuable insight that will shape her positions as she votes on issues in Olympia.

Both candidates say that finding ways to put additional money in public education, as required by a state Supreme Court decision, will be one of the most important issues facing lawmakers during the upcoming session.

“It’s got to be job one,” Scherrer said. “Education is very important to job creation. When we’re educating our young people, we’re educating our future workers.”

Scherrer said he hasn’t yet seen a good estimate of how much money it will take to fulfill the court’s requirement to adequately fund public education. “I’ve seen $2 billion and I’ve seen $3 billion,” he said. “How much money do we really need to respond to the Supreme Court mandate?”

Limited sources of additional income would have to come either from taxpayers or cuts in state services, he said.

Scherrer said he would have to carefully weigh the alternatives for funding public education but is leaning against any sort of tax increase. “The best way to raise revenue, instead of imposing a new tax, is having a strong economy,” he said.

Ortiz-Self said she would look for budget efficiencies and examine current tax loopholes. “We only have so many choices to raise revenues, but we have a lot of tax loopholes we’ve given out,” she said. Lawmakers have to see

Mariner High School senior Jeffrey Le is reaping the benefits of getting involved in the school’s DECA program.

Moving into new comfort zones Mariner High’s Jeffrey Le wants to build on DECA program experience

By Julie Muhlstein Herald Writer

Jeffrey Le is president of Mariner High School’s DECA program and vice president of his senior class. He wasn’t always on the most positive path, but turned things around after sophomore year.

Question: How did you grow from being a student not doing his best in school to becoming one of Mariner’s leaders?

Answer: As a freshman, I wasn’t that involved. Sophomore year was my worst. I felt I

didn’t have direction. My grades dropped from a 3.8 to a 2.9. I just didn’t care. But junior year, my grades were up. I started hanging out with leadership kids, and I ran for senior class VP. And last year I got involved in DECA, and I’m now president. This year, so far, I have all A’s and one B. Q: Was it tough to get your grades back up?

A: It becomes a habit, to come home and just throw your backpack and sit. When you start to study, that becomes a habit, too, a really good habit.

Q: Were there friends who

helped shape your progress at Mariner?

A: I wouldn’t be the person who was able to pick up the slack and move forward if it weren’t for the foundation my friends and teachers built for me. I am blessed to have people like (friend) Mary Olayon, who pushed me to do things outside of my comfort zone. And I met Tim Angelos and Rhea Gonzaga.

They were really involved in school. We’re close friends now.

Q: Tell me about DECA, the program that has students engaged in business and

marketing. Is it a class?

A: It’s not a class. It’s a fun club. Mr. (Nick) Angelos, Tim’s father, is the adviser. DECA runs the BTE (Blue Thunder Espresso) student store at lunchtime. Last year at an SBE (school-based enterprise) event, the student store ranked sixth in the world. It earned over $100,000. We run it like a real store. You need a food-handler permit. It’s like a job.

Q: Tell me about your family.

Julie Hanner lives in Marysville and notes there is a street sign on 108th Street NE at the top of a hill warning of an approaching left turn at 62nd Avenue NE. “Problem is, the sign says it is 64th ... Can this be corrected?”

City traffic engineer Jesse Hannah is on the case.

“Upon performing a site visit last week, I determined that the sign in question was installed with the wrong street name by either the city or county prior to annexation,” Hannah said. “It should have been ‘62nd Ave NE’ rather than the posted ‘64th Ave NE.’ A work order has been placed for a city sign technician to replace the sign.

“Such replacement may

take several weeks as the sign must be procured and scheduled for install, as well as not being of imminent safety risk,” he added.

Interactive map shows roads projects The Puget Sound Regional Council has come out with a cool new map.

The interactive tool maps each project on its Draft 2015-18 Regional Transportation Improvement Program list. Click on an area, and the project details and financial breakdown pop up.

There’s also a link to make a comment on a project. The public comment period for the Draft TIP runs through Oct. 30.

The TIP lists current transportation projects within King, Kitsap, Pierce and Snohomish counties.

The projects are funded with federal, state or local funds, including federal grants that are awarded and managed through Puget Sound Regional Council.

Among the Snohomish County projects listed is a nearly $1.4 million project to improve traffic signal timing and phasing on State Avenue in Marysville between First Street and 88th Street.

Speaking of maps Finally, Geologic Map

Day was Oct. 17 (pretty sure Hallmark doesn’t have this one).

In honor of the day (now in it’s third year, I’ll be darned), Washington and Oregon geologists created a poster that offers a wholistic view of the Columbia River, that liquid highway that marks the border between our two states.

Washington State Geologist David Norman calls the river “a geologic and cultural treasure that has shaped the destinies of our two states.”

So, like, I guess it’s kinda important.

The map-poster blend — crafted by the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries

and the Washington State Department of Natural Resources’ Division of Geology and Earth Resources — looks at the interplay of the geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere and biosphere along the 309-mile river course (science teachers, I’m thinking of you).

And, it can be downloaded for free (beats the price of a card).

Spokane measure would Learn about candidates, issues track abandoned homes Herald staff

SPOKANE — The Spokane City Council is considering creating a registry of abandoned homes as a way to prevent them from slipping into disrepair.

The council is scheduled Monday to consider an ordinance that would require banks or other responsible parties to register all abandoned homes in the city. The parties also would be required to provide a local contact to respond to property problems such as broken windows or graffiti, The Spokesman-Review reported.

The idea is to deter vandalism and ensure that vacant properties are maintained and in good condition and to protect the value of the property and the surrounding area, according to the ordinance.

Spokane City

Councilwoman Amber Waldref said banks and mortgage lenders will be held accountable for properties they’ve foreclosed on, keeping them in good condition and protecting neighborhood character.

She estimates about 300 abandoned homes would have to be registered. The city registry would include properties that are abandoned and under foreclosure, trustee’s sale, tax assessor’s lien sale, deed transfer in lieu of foreclosure or subject to a contract, the newspaper reported.

The city would require an annual $200 fee for each property. A private company would be hired to create and maintain the registry. Failing to register a property would result in a $500 civil fine.

There were 1,230 properties foreclosed in the county in 2013, 713 in

2012 and 1,146 in 2011, according to the Spokane County Auditor’s Office.

Corey Oberst, president-elect of the Spokane Mortgage Lenders Association, supports the registry.

But he worried it wouldn’t go far enough to prevent houses from falling into substandard condition, something he said banks already try to avoid because it devalues the assets.

David Eagle, a homeowner in the Chief Garry neighborhood, said a house next door to his home has been vacant for five years.

The lawn was out of control. And before the city boarded the house up, squatters “made a mess of it,” said Eagle, an associate professor of finance at Eastern Washington University. “It’s a problem throughout the city, not just my neighborhood,” said Eagle, who supports a registry as a first step.

“if we’re getting the benefits we want,” she said.

If those steps don’t provide enough money, Ortiz-Self said, she doesn’t support an increase in the state sales tax. A tax on bottled water might be part of the answer to raising state revenue “that won’t have a harmful effect on our families,” she said.

Ortiz-Self said she’s able to continue to work as a school counselor by taking a leave of absence from that job during the legislative session. Through her work in the schools, she said, she’s seen students whose families are homeless, or whose parents have lost jobs, and students who don’t have enough to eat.

Those experiences have demonstrated the importance of balancing the needs to fully fund public education while not “stripping away the safety net

Talk of having a $15 minimum wage could lead small business owners to “go into protection mode and tend not to hire,” he said.

■ FREE TV wITh No CAbLE bILLS: Thanks to a slick little micro antenna device that plugs into the back of any TV, consumers are getting free crystal-clear digital channels without cable or satellite. Its like getting a new HDTV for free. That’s why U.S. residents are flooding the Free TV Hotlines and rushing to the Post Office to return the Free TV Claim Form reprinted at the bottom of this page. Consumers in all 50 states who want to get Free TV with no monthly bills just need to call within 72 hours or beat the 3-day postmark deadline.

Consumers who get a slick little micro antenna device like the razor thin Clear-Cast® brand will get free TV with no monthly bills. The courts ruling emboldens the ability for consumers to legally use the slick little device in their own home to get free TV. The simple device is engineered to pull in nothing but free TV channels in crystal-clear digital picture with no cable, satellite or internet connection.

That’s why this slick little micro antenna is a real steal at just $88 because it is such a smart alternative for everyone who is sick and tired of paying cable and satellite bills.

Aereo will likely suspend its business since the court’s decision after it developed a way to bootleg major TV network’s content. Aereo charged subscribers $8 to $12 a month to lease a dime size remote antenna located in the company’s facility.

With the victory, all major networks and TV stations get to protect their copyrights, but they must continue to comply with Federal Law 47CFR SEC. 1.4000 which allows consumers who have a slick little micro antenna device to receive all the crystal-clear overthe-air broadcast channels for free. Shown here are a handful of the major networks that must broadcast over the air channels that consumers can receive for free with the slick little micro antenna devices that saves money by not picking up expensive cable only channels like ESPN so there’s never a monthly bill for consumers to pay.

The Computer & Communications Industry Association backed Aereo’s position, having concerns that the ruling could be detrimental to other cloud services.

Network trademarks and programs are the property of their respective owners and are not affiliated with or endorsing the antenna devices. Consumers report the crystal-clear picture quality with the Clear-Cast brand micro antenna device is the best quality picture they’ve ever seen.

NATIONWIDE - Consumers just got handed a really good reason to get rid of cable and satellite bills.

Everyone fed up with high cable and satellite bills, huge channel bundles and poor customer service are now flocking to get a slick little micro antenna device that lets U.S. households watch broadcast TV legally without paying a cable or satellite company for it and no monthly bills.

So much attention is now being focused on this slick little device since the High Court handed down the big win for consumers.

The landmark decision highlights the public’s ability to get all the top rated national TV network and regional shows broadcast over the air absolutely free.

The only thing consumers need to do to get the slick little micro antenna device is call the Free TV Order Hotline beginning at 8:30am this morning or simply return the Free TV Claim Form printed at the bottom of this page before the 3-day postmark deadline ends.

Everyone who does is getting the slick little $88 device at a real steal because it pulls in crystal-clear digital TV channels for free with no monthly bills.

The target audience for the slick little micro antenna device has been young urban professionals who don’t want to watch more than 20 or 30 live TV channels. But now older folks are snapping up the slick little device because it’s rapidly becoming popular for those on fixed incomes and anyone who just doesn’t want to pay a cable or satellite bill anymore.

“When advanced technology enables consumers to just plug in a simple device to get free TV, consumers are the winners,” said David Martin, Senior Analyst at CompTek, the company that makes the sleek little micro antenna device that works on virtually any TV. “This special advertising feature is being so widely published because there’s never a monthly bill to pay and all the channels you get are absolutely free,” Martin said.

“That’s why the slick little device is not like being tied to a cable or satellite company. The device is engineered to access solely over-the-air signals that include all the top rated national and all broadcast stations, like DISNEY (ABC), COMCAST (NBC), CBS, 21st Century FOX (FOX), PBS, CW and about 90% of the most watched TV shows like America’s Got Talent, NCIS, The Big Bang Theory, 60 Minutes, The Bachelorette, Blue Bloods, Dateline, Person of Interest, American Idol, The Voice, Dancing With the Stars, CSI, Two and a Half Men, Sunday Night Football plus news, weather and sports all for free with no monthly bills,” Martin said.

That means consumers who get the slick little device can channel surf through all the nations top favorite TV shows. The number of shows and channels consumers get depends on where they live. People living in large metropolitan areas can get up to 53 crystal-clear digital channels, while people in outlying areas will get less.

That means even consumers in rural areas that pull in NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX and PBS broadcasts will still get hundreds of shows each year to watch for free.

“It’s so simple all you do is just plug it into the back of your TV and place the razor thin micro device on a window or wall, then autoscan does all the rest. It works on virtually any model TV and you get a stunning HDTV quality picture,” Martin said.

“It just doesn’t make any sense to keep paying for TV when you can get all the top rated network channels and hundreds of shows absolutely free,” he said.

But there is no time to waste, early reports show the free TV Hotlines are extremely busy.

So, if lines are busy keep trying, all calls will be answered. ■

“Clint Didier has said on multiple occasions that he wants to phase out Social Security, and he’d eliminate the Medicare and VA health care relied on by seniors and veterans throughout central Washington,” said Newhouse campaign manager Tim Kovis.

“That’s not conservative.

It’s extremist,” Kovis said.

Didier’s campaign shot back that the nation is morally obligated to pay the elderly what they have paid in to Social Security.

As for the VA, campaign manager Larry Stickney said Didier wants to reduce administrative costs, while providing more money for the care of veterans.

“Nobody loves veterans more than Clint Didier,” Stickney said.

The Newhouse campaign also took a swipe at Didier receiving $291,000 in federal farm subsidies between 1995 and 2010.

“Clint often says he is against government programs, except those he is able to benefit from personally,” said Newhouse campaign manager Jim Keough. .

Stickney said Didier stopped taking federal subsidies after 2010. “He swore them off,” he said.

“He’s been freer and more profitable ever since.”

Didier’s call for smaller government could place him at odds with boosters

of the Hanford Nuclear Reservation, the largest single employer in the district. Hanford receives some $2 billion a year in federal funds to clean up the nation’s largest collection of nuclear waste.

In a mid-October debate in Pasco, Didier said he did not want to cut Hanford spending but thought enough was being spent on cleanup. He said he would like to see more accountability to make sure the money is being spent wisely with maximum productivity.

Newhouse said the federal government has a commitment to clean up the waste left over from helping win the Cold War and World War II. “I’ve talked to contractors, I’ve talked to union officials, I’ve talked to management, strides are being made,” Newhouse said at the debate.

The country needs to increase the size of the military to Reagan-era levels, Didier said at the debate. The U.S. should also be concerned about the United Nations because of the threat of a “one world” government taking away guns, Didier said.

Newhouse responded that it is important to work with other countries, but added that the UN has become a “liberal think tank.”

Man who saved girl honored

Interpretive signs will be added and short trails will provide access to the dam site.

TACOMA — The Tacoma Police Department awarded the Medal of Courage to a citizen for his bravery in saving a drowning girl.

Police Chief Donald Ramsdell made the presentation to Noah McDonald, saying his heroism went beyond what was expected of a citizen.

On July 6, the police received a report of a possible drowning. Witnesses said a girl was struggling to make it to shore and had no flotation devise and couldn’t stay above the water.

Another female went in the water but could not help the girl. Then McDonald jumped in.

A witness said he was a strong swimmer who brought the panicking, struggling girl to shore. Brianna Gutierrez said she had jumped in but cold water caused her legs to stop working. She believes McDonald saved her life.

Olympic National Park: Lookout areas Olympic National Park is planning to build public observation areas at the site of the former Glines Canyon Dam so the public can learn about ongoing efforts to restore the Elwha River. Two dams have been removed in a $325 million river restoration project that began in September 2011.

The Peninsula Daily News said that abutments on both sides of the former Glines Canyon Dam were left in place to eventually serve as observation points.

A park spokeswoman said work on the observation areas would start this fall. The east side could open to the public as early as this winter, while the west side is expected to open in 2015.

Seattle: UW gets $16M foreign language grant College students interested in some of the less-commonly taught languages will be pleased to hear that the University of Washington has received a $16 million grant that will support about 140 language fellowships.

The Seattle Times reported that the grant will be used for students who major in Chinese, Arabic, Tagalog and nearly a dozen other politically important languages.

The fellowships are scholarships for undergraduates and graduates.

The money will cover study for an academic year and summer fellowships. It will pay for tuition and living expenses. The grants will be available over a four-year period.

Resat Kasaba, the director of UW’s Jackson School for International Studies, told the Times that the languages that are considered “less-common” are any language other than French, German and Spanish.

Oregon: Coast Guard proposes to close facility The U.S. Coast Guard is scheduled to attend a community meeting in Newport on Monday about the pending closure of one of its three air facilities along the Oregon coast.

Oregon Public Broadcasting said 40 to 50 missions that are flown out of the Newport facility every year will be re-routed to North Bend or Astoria.

Captain Todd Trimpert, who heads up the agency in southern Oregon, said there are no plans to add additional resource there and response times likely will increase.

Members of Oregon’s Congressional delegation have expressed their concern over the facility’s closure.

The closure is scheduled Nov. 30.

Boil-water notice lifted Residents in a Gresham neighborhood can now drink tap water without boiling it first, after the city lifted a limited boil-water notice.

The city said Sunday that results from water quality tests showed no bacteria.

The boil-water notice had affected about 130 homes in south central Gresham.

The city issued the boil advisory as a precaution after a pump at the site failed. The city said the pump was fixed and water was restored to the area.

Alaska: State lays claim to land near refuge The state is seeking conveyance of nearly 20,000 acres on the western boundary of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

The state said the lands were requested under the Alaska Statehood Act and Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act. But Gov. Sean Parnell said the federal government has been improperly drawing the boundary.

In a release, Parnell said his administration began a review of the boundary after the Department of Natural Resources received bids for oil and gas tracts in the area in 2011.

He says conveyance will bring the acreage under state control for oil and gas exploration.

Maureen Clark, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, told APRN the agency received the state’s request and was checking if the issue was the subject of prior litigation.

Dan Newhouse, from the establishment wing of the GOP, is battling tea party favorite Clint Didier to succeed retiring Republican U.S. Rep. Doc Hastings. The House seat covers Yakima, the Tri-Cities and much of the central portion of the state.

This is the first time in state history that two members of the same party advanced to the general election for a House seat, which is a result of Washington’s Top Two primary election system.

While external polling has been scarce, fundraising numbers show Newhouse with a decisive money advantage.

Newhouse has raised about $726,000, according to the most recent filings with the Federal Elections Commission; Didier has brought in more than $423,000. That amount includes a $30,000 loan Didier made to his campaign.

Newhouse, a former state legislator and director of the state Department

of Agriculture, has picked up most of the establishment endorsements in the race. That includes nods from both Hastings and the influential National Rifle Association.

His father Irv was a powerful GOP legislator and his campaign has focused on mainstream GOP issues.

Didier, a former NFL player, has earned the endorsement of former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin and former presidential contender Rick Santorum. His campaign is long on references to God, guns and patriotism.

The Washington State Republican Party has declined to issue an endorsement.

Didier is a farmer from Eltopia, while Newhouse is a farmer from Sunnyside.

Didier led by 6 percentage points after the crowded primary, 31 percent to 25 percent, but Newhouse’s campaign contends their candidate has pulled ahead in internal polling. Didier’s campaign has not done any recent polling.

The campaigning has gotten rougher as the election draws near. In a recent television ad, Newhouse contended that he would protect Social Security and use common sense to balance the budget and cut government spending.

CDC to revise Ebola protocol

By Mike Stobbe Associated Press

ATLANTA — Revised guidance for health care workers treating Ebola patients will include using protective gear “with no skin showing,” a top federal health official said Sunday, and the Pentagon announced it was forming a team to assist medical staff in the U.S., if needed.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said those caring for an Ebola patient in Dallas were vulnerable because some of their skin was exposed.

The Centers for Disease

Control and Prevention is working on revisions to safety protocols. Earlier ones, he said, were based on a World Health Organization model in which care was given in more remote places, often outdoors, and without intensive training for health workers.

“So there were parts about that protocol that left vulnerability, parts of the skin that were open,” Fauci said.

The CDC guidance was expected as early as Saturday, but its release has been pushed back while it continues to go through review by experts and government officials.

Health officials had previously allowed hospitals some

flexibility to use available covering when dealing with suspected Ebola patients. The new guidelines are expected to set a firmer standard: calling for full-body suits and hoods that protect worker’s necks, setting rigorous rules for removal of equipment and disinfection of hands, and calling for a “site manager” to supervise the putting on and taking off of equipment.

The guidelines are also expected to require a “buddy system,” in which workers check each other as they come in and go out, according to an official who was familiar with the guidelines but not authorized to discuss them before

their release.

Hospital workers also will be expected to exhaustively practice getting in and out of the equipment, the official said.

Said Fauci: “Very clearly, when you go into a hospital, have to intubate somebody, have all of the body fluids, you’ve got to be completely covered. So that’s going to be one of the things ... to be complete covering with no skin showing whatsoever.”

The American Nurses Association and other groups have called for better guidance that sets clearer standards on what kind of equipment, how to put it on and how to take it off.

China meets on legal reforms

U.S. airdrops arms to Kurds in Syrian town WASHINGTON — The U.S. military said Sunday it had airdropped weapons, ammunition and medical supplies to Kurdish forces defending the Syrian city of Kobani against Islamic State militants. The airdrops Sunday were the first of their kind and followed weeks of U.S. and coalition airstrikes in and near Kobani, near the Turkish border. The U.S. said earlier Sunday that it had launched 11 airstrikes overnight in the Kobani area. In a statement Sunday night, U.S. Central Command said U.S. C-130 cargo planes made multiple drops of arms and supplies provided

by Kurdish authorities in Iraq. It said they were intended to enable continued resistance to Islamic State efforts to take full control of Kobani. The airdrops are almost certain to anger the Turkish government, which has said it would oppose any U.S. arms transfers to the Kurdish rebels in Syria. Turkey views the main Kurdish group in Syria as an extension of the Turkish Kurd group known as the PKK, which has waged a 30-year insurgency in Turkey and is designated a terror group by the U.S. and by NATO. President Barack Obama called Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Saturday to discuss the situation in Syria and notify him of the plan to make airdrops, an administration official told reporters.

Hawaii: Storm threat eases

By Didi Tang Associated Press

BEIJING — The most important meeting of the year for the 205 members of China’s ruling Communist Party’s Central Committee, beginning Monday, will focus on how to rule the country in accordance with law.

That has fed hopes that the party might move to respect the letter and spirit of the constitution, but some legal experts and political analysts say the country’s leaders are intent on expanding power, not limiting it.

There may be some efforts at the four-day plenum to discourage rampant corruption in low-level courts, they say, but the key goal will be to build a legal system that protects and strengthens the party’s political dominance.

“There is absolutely zero chance that the plenum session will see support for constitutional reform that imposes meaningful checks on party power,” said Carl Minzner, a law professor and expert on the Chinese legal system at Fordham Law School in New York.

As usual, this year’s plenary session will be held in a conclave in Beijing, and its decisions, expected to be announced after the conclusion, set the broad policy framework for the upcoming year. It’s not clear if the meeting will discuss the protests in Hong Kong, where pro-democracy students have occupied key streets for three weeks to demand that Beijing change its decision to screen candidates for first open elections in the semiautonomous city in 2017.

Party-controlled media are already gearing up to tout great legal progress to come, but some observers expect the party to continue something it has done since President Xi Jinping took power nearly two years ago: Step up efforts to suppress criticism and dissent.

“The developments over the past year under Xi’s leadership have signaled deep disregard for the law as a tool for resolving grievances in an impartial manner,” said Maya Wang, researcher with Human Rights Watch. “The detentions and sham trials of activists ... show just how China’s legal system has remained an instrument of the party’s power.”

Yet, the party will seek changes to bring some fairness to the local level, where unrest stemming from lack of justice has flared up into violence.

ACROSS THE U.S.

MARKUS SCHREIBER / ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE

A couple walks past the slogan “Arbeit Macht Frei” (Work Sets You Free) at the main entrance of the Sachsenhausen Nazi concentration camp on the international Holocaust remembrance day in Oranienburg, Germany, on Jan. 27, 2012. An Associated Press investigation found dozens of suspected Nazi war criminals and SS guards collected millions of dollars in Social Security payments after being forced out of the U.S.

Millions in Social Security benefits to expelled Nazis

By David Rising, Randy Herschaft and Richard Lardner Associated Press

OSIJEK, Croatia — Dozens of suspected Nazi war criminals and SS guards collected millions of dollars in U.S. Social Security benefits after being forced out of the United States, an Associated Press investigation has found.

The payments, underwritten

by American taxpayers, flowed through a legal loophole that gave the U.S. Justice Department leverage to persuade Nazi suspects to leave the U.S. If they agreed to go, or simply fled before deportation, they could keep their Social Security, according to interviews and internal U.S. government records.

Among those receiving benefits were armed SS troops who guarded the network of Nazi camps where millions of Jews perished; a rocket scientist who used slave laborers to advance his research in the Third Reich; and a Nazi collaborator who engineered the arrest and execution of thousands of Jews in Poland.

There are at least four living beneficiaries. They include Martin Hartmann, a former SS guard at the Sachsenhausen camp in Germany, and Jakob Denzinger, who patrolled the grounds at the Auschwitz camp complex in Poland.

Hartmann moved to Berlin in 2007 from Arizona just before being stripped of his U.S. citizenship. Denzinger fled to Germany from Ohio in 1989 after learning denaturalization proceedings against him were underway. He soon resettled in Croatia and now lives in a spacious apartment on the right bank of the Drava River in Osijek. Denzinger would not discuss his situation when questioned by an AP reporter; Denzinger’s son, who lives in the U.S., confirmed his father receives Social Security

payments and said he deserved them.

The deals allowed the Justice Department’s former Nazi-hunting unit, the Office of Special Investigations, to skirt lengthy deportation hearings and increased the number of Nazis it expelled from the U.S. But internal U.S. government records obtained by the AP reveal heated objections from the State Department to OSI’s practices. Social Security benefits became tools, U.S. diplomatic officials said, to secure agreements in which Nazi suspects would accept the loss of citizenship and voluntarily leave the United States.

“It’s absolutely outrageous that Nazi war criminals are continuing to receive Social Security benefits when they have been outlawed from our country for many, many, many years,” said U.S. Rep. Carolyn Maloney of New York, a senior Democratic member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. She said she plans to introduce legislation to close the loophole.

Since 1979, the AP analysis found, at least 38 of 66 suspects removed from the country kept their Social Security benefits.

The Social Security Administration expressed outrage in 1997 over the use of benefits, the documents show, and blowback in foreign capitals reverberated at the highest levels of government.

Austrian authorities were furious upon learning after the fact about a deal made with Martin Bartesch, a former SS guard at the Mauthausen concentration camp in Austria. In 1987, Bartesch landed, unannounced, at the airport in Vienna. Two days later, under the terms of the deal, his U.S. citizenship was revoked.

The Romanian-born Bartesch, who had emigrated to the U.S. in 1955, was suddenly stateless and Austria’s problem. Bartesch continued to receive Social Security benefits

until he died in 1989.

“It was not upfront, it was not transparent, it was not a legitimate process,” said James Hergen, an assistant legal adviser at the State Department from 1982 until 2007.

“This was not the way America should behave. We should not be dumping our refuse, for lack of a better word, on friendly states.”

Neal Sher, a former OSI director, said the State Department cared more about diplomatic niceties than holding former members of Adolf Hitler’s war machine accountable.

Amid the objections, the practice known as “Nazi dumping” stopped. But the benefits loophole wasn’t closed.

Justice Department spokesman Peter Carr said in an emailed statement that Social Security payments never were employed to persuade Nazi suspects to depart voluntarily.

The Social Security Administration refused the AP’s request for the total number of Nazi suspects who received benefits and the dollar amounts of those payments. Spokesman William “BJ” Jarrett said the agency does not track data specific to Nazi cases.

A further barrier, Jarrett said, is that there is no exception in U.S. privacy law that “allows us to disclose information because the individual is a Nazi war criminal or an accused Nazi war criminal.”

The department also declined to make the acting commissioner, Carolyn Colvin, or another senior agency official available for an interview.

Rabbi Marvin Hier, the founder and head of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles, said the loophole should be closed.

“Someone receiving an American pension could live very well in Europe or wherever they settled,” Hier said. “We, in effect, were rewarding them. It didn’t make any sense.”

Hurricane Ana has passed the Hawaiian island of Niihau, leaving the state wet but largely unscathed. Hawaii residents are beginning to relax after days of keeping a cautious eye on Hurricane Ana. National Weather Service forecasters say the closest Ana got to Hawaii was about 70 miles southwest of Niihau Sunday. Hurricane Ana had been churning dangerously close for several days, spinning parallel to the islands where residents were urged to be ready. Instead the storm mainly stayed to the southwest, bringing little more than heavy rain and big waves.

A tropical storm warning remains in effect Sunday for the islands of Kauai and Niihau, and a hurricane watch has been issued for parts of remote northwestern islands, home to a largely uninhabited marine sanctuary. The have been no reports of injuries, deaths or significant damage.

Calif.: Online sex scam ad Irvine police arrested a 34-year-old Tustin man for posting an ad on Craigslist in which he allegedly posed as a woman to lure teenage boys into sexual encounters. The Los Angeles Times reported that Irvine police arrested Sherwin Ngo on Friday. Police Cmdr. Julia Engen said Ngo was arrested for investigation of a lewd act on one of the teenagers and an attempted lewd act on another. He was taken into custody after the mother of a 15-year-old found explicit emails on her son’s computer. Police say Ngo was released on bail Saturday.

AROUND THE WORLD Sweden: Russian subs?

The Swedish military said Sunday it had made three credible sightings of foreign undersea activity in its waters during the past few days amid reports of a suspected Russian intrusion in the area. Rear Adm. Anders Grenstad said the armed forces had observed the activity in the Stockholm archipelago and nearby coastal area, but declined to give details of an operation reminiscent of the Cold War, when Sweden’s armed forces routinely hunted for Soviet submarines in its waters. The armed forces published a photograph taken on Sunday by a passerby showing a partially submerged object in the water from a distance, but it was unclear what kind of vessel was in question.

Kenya: 5 terrorists killed Kenyan and Somali soldiers killed five suspected Islamic extremist bombers attempting to cross into the country from Ethiopia in a car laden with explosives and six suicide vests, a Kenyan military spokesman said Sunday. Bogita Ongeri said authorities recovered 220 pounds of TNT from the vehicle which was intercepted at Dolo, along Kenya’s border with Ethiopia on Saturday. Ongeri said security forces had been tracking the car which has Kenyan registration and were aware that the suspected terrorists had unsuccessfully attempted to gain entry into Kenya at another border point. He said the five killed are suspected members of the Somali militant group al-Shabab, which is allied to al-Qaida.

To digital video retailer, it’s all about focus

By Quinn Russell Brown Herald Writer

MARYSVILLE — In the mid1990s, when digital technology was quickly reshaping the world, Guy Cochran saw firsthand what it could do for pictures.

He developed film in a darkroom in high school. By college, he was using an early version of Photoshop.

A few years later, when he became a videographer, he worked with digital cameras that cost a tenth as much as film and analog alternatives.

“When digital video hit the scene, that’s when it all blew up for the entire industry,” said Cochran, 39.

The soft-spoken gear junkie now owns the online video equipment retailer DVeStore. com, which stands for “digital video e-store.” Headquartered on a quiet street near I-5 in Marysville, the warehouse stocks broadcast-grade microphones, lighting kits, green screens and sleek video cameras that shoot in 4K (twice the resolution of a highdef TV).

“When I started this, it was like my toy store,” he said. “That was really cool because I got to sort of fulfill this gear fetish of mine. It was always like Christmas day.”

DVeStore has shipped equipment to ESPN and Sony, to crew members of TV shows like “Desperate Housewives” and “Jeopardy” and to universities around the country.

The store is on track to do $8 million in sales in 2014.

Most orders are from customers outside of Washington, but a noteworthy slice of business comes from local companies that work face-to-face with Cochran.

“All the biggies you can think of: Microsoft, Amazon, Nintendo,” Cochran said.

DVeStore has furnished Amazon’s corporate offices with cameras, tripods and LED light panels, as well as outfitted all of their conference rooms with the latest video technology.

“They know that when their stuff breaks, we’ll have one in stock and I’ll run it down there to save their production, which I’ve had to do,” Cochran said.

That convenience is why Daniel Cardenas, creative director of Sierra Media in Everett, buys from DVeStore. A few years ago he needed something quickly but didn’t want to pay overnight

QUINN RUSSELL BROWN / THE HERALD

Guy Cochran, owner of video equipment retailer DVeStore, sits in the company’s studio in Marysville.

shipping from an East Coast retailer. He drove up to Marysville, met Cochran and left with the equipment.

“It was delightful,” Cardenas said. “It’s great to be able to go there.”

With customers including Microsoft, Intel and Providence Medical, Cardenas needs to stock top-of-the-line video production equipment.

“It’s very specialized,” he said of DVeStore’s catalog. “It’s not a Best Buy. It’s pro gear.”

Such pro gear includes a $1,300 shotgun mic, $3,500 studio lighting kit and $7,500 audio mixer.

There’s a rig with seven cameras controlled by joysticks and live stream video technology that broadcasts over cellular signals.

For much of this highend stuff, Cochran says DVeStore is the only supplier in the Northwest.

Still, the bulk of their orders come from humbler clients: wedding videographers, amateur filmmakers, people starting YouTube channels — anyone looking to give their project a professional feel. These customers might try a $79 lavalier mic that hooks into an iPhone, or a $129 LED light that attaches to the top of a camera.

“Everybody has a different budget,” Cochran said.

Cochran’s first job in the industry was at a firm that made giant photo prints in Seattle.

He eventually left to start his own videography company,

Everett-based Pixel Motion.

In 2001, he was lured out to Los Angeles by a company called DVcreators, which makes video production tutorials, and shifted his focus to teaching others.

“I was doing a lot of traveling,” Cochran said. “I was teaching all over the country, I was just flying every other week somewhere.”

He led workshops full of teachers, each paying $700 to attend.

He taught Apple employees, and remembers seeing Steve Jobs walk around.

In 2004, DVcreators asked Cochran to manage the equipment arm of the company, which only sold a handful of items but was bringing in about $100,000 annually. Cochran moved back to Washington and formed a new corporation, DVeStore. He settled into a building on the Mukilteo waterfront and more than doubled the store’s sales in the first year of business.

DVeStore set out to assemble a catalog of video production essentials, starting with a threelight kit.

“To make people look really good you’ve gotta understand lighting,” Cochran said. “It comes down to the quality of the light, the intensity, and learning how to adjust your camera settings to get that optimum exposure.”

Then they began selling microphones.

“Audio is 50 percent of your story,” he said. “If you get great audio, then you’re gonna have a

great product. That’s what we’re trying to drill into people’s heads.”

Cochran started shooting — and starring in — videos where he compared the sound quality of different microphones. DVeStore’s YouTube channel became a destination for people looking to hear audio demos. That, along with going to trade-shows and being active in online videography forums, helped Cochran further bolster his reputation in the field.

Also adding to his industry cachet is that he remained an active videographer. Sasquatch!

Music Festival, for example, hired him to shoot at its main stage in 2008. In a fit of rock star fury, the lead singer of the band The Mars Volta bent down in front of Cochran and tried to grab his $22,000 camera, but Cochran resisted, holding up a fist and threatening to punch the singer.

By 2008, DVeStore had hit $1 million in gross sales and needed more space. It also didn’t help that the bottom floor of the Mukilteo building was rented out by glassblower James Mongrain, a disciple of Dale Chihuly, so the continuous hum of the furnace affected the sound of videos shot in the studio. Cochran relocated the company to its current warehouse in Marysville.

While Cochran’s industry know-how and personal brand helped DVeStore’s sales, he was struggling with the business side of things. So in 2011, he enrolled in the Small Business Accelerator

Program at Everett Community College, a yearlong course that teaches business strategy to companies with $500,000 to $15 million in sales.

The program inspired Cochran to buy QuickBooks, to get his finances in order and to leave as much capital as possible in the company at all times.

“All of a sudden it was like a light bulb went off,” he said. “We got more employees, we got in shape for the bank to loan us money.”

Travis Snider, head instructor of the Small Business Accelerator Program, called Cochran “a leading edge entrepreneur” who “moves at lighting speed.”

“He’s calm, sensible — he makes these things seem simple,” Snider said. “I don’t see very many businesspeople that would even have the ability to think like he does.”

Cochran has since joined the program’s CEO Roundtable, a group of former students who gather with Snider to discuss the successes and woes of their companies.

“If it wasn’t for that class, this company would still have three employees, and I’d still be answering phones,” Cochran said.

DVeStore now has 11 full-time employees. They’re ditching QuickBooks and spending $100,000 for NetSuite’s Enterprise Resource Planning software.

Their warehouse stocks over 1,000 different items and they sell a few dozen products through Amazon.com.

Cochran, who turns 40 in April, is married with four kids, two grandkids and a foster child.

He unwinds by driving his 2006 Maserati Grand Sport with fellow members of the Ferrari Club of America, which organizes meetups of luxury car owners.

“We’ll go out on drives, and head to Mount Baker, Mount St. Helens or Mount Rainier and just go play on the backroads,” Cochran said.

In early September, DVeStore signed a letter of intent to lease the bottom floor of the former Herald building at 1213 California St. in downtown Everett.

Cochran hopes being just a little farther south will help reach local customers who don’t realize the store is so close.

“Marysville seems far,” he said.

“We’re hoping that our new move to Everett will entice people to come from Seattle.”

Want to get published? Author shares the ins and outs

ave you ever wanted to write a book?

The Internet and the growing popularity of eBooks have created new and exciting opportunities for aspiring authors.

One local author, James Shipman, has had some success navigating the new rules of the publishing industry. He is a partner in a family-law practice in Everett and is a member of Everett Community College’s Board of Trustees.

Shipman has loved to write since he was in elementary school. He also loves history.

He has combined his passions for writing and history by focusing on the historical fiction genre.

He has written two books and is working on a third.

Shipman’s second book, “Constantinopolis,” has been the No. 1 historical fiction book on Amazon and in the top 100 for a year. “Constantinopolis”

was published by Lake Union Publishing, which is the historical fiction imprint of Amazon Publishing.

I recently sat down with Shipman to get his perspective on the publishing industry and the challenges he has faced becoming a published author.

Here are the highlights from our conversation: Question: What are some of the biggest differences between the publishing industry of 10 to 15 years ago and today?

Answer: The explosion of the Internet and eBooks has completely changed the publishing industry. There are now hundreds of thousands of authors publishing books on Amazon Kindle or other platforms and some of them are making significant sales (even millions in sales). The big publishing companies have always held the keys to the kingdom, but now they are in competition with hard working and persistent self-published authors. This is good news for writers because now they don’t

have to wait to get their writing to readers all over the world.

Q: What have you found to be the most effective way to market your book? What has been the least effective?

A: The most effective way to sell books as a self-published author is through BookBub and similar sites. Bookbub is a company with millions of opt-in email accounts that have selected preferences for types of books. If you are selected by BookBub, you will pay a few hundred dollars and likely receive a few thousand dollars for your investment. Of course they are selective and you will need some positive online reviews of your book and a good product or they won’t take you.

Doing some marketing on Facebook, Twitter or Goodreads with an ad can have some results, but I find you spend about $100 and get $18 or so in sales (not a great long-term strategy). Getting your message out for free in social media is a great way to build an audience over time, but it takes a few years and you build

Edmonds Community College is showing “Growing Cities,” a film about urban farming, at 12:30 p.m. Tuesday in the Black Box Theatre on campus — 20000 68th Ave. W, Lynnwood.

The film screening is free and open to the public. For more information about the film, go to www.growingcitiesmovie.com.

Learn about the challenges

your audience based on relationships and posting interesting items, not by spamming people to buy your book.

I would definitely avoid paying a subsidy publisher a bunch of money to publish your book unless you know exactly what you are doing. There are many “publishers” who will charge you $10,000 or $15,000 to put your book online when you could have produced the same product for $1,000 or $1,500. Be very careful with this process.

Q: What strategies would you recommend for finding time to write?

A: Writing is an intentional process. I look for time everywhere I can find it. If you take a half-hour three times a week to write instead of watching television, you can produce a book in a year. I will spend a half-hour writing before my kids’ sporting events, while they are practicing.

Sometimes I’m slouched over in my car doing this, but I’m still getting a little writing done.

mistakes new authors make trying to get their first book published?

A: One common mistake is just throwing a book up quickly on Amazon and other eBook/printon-demand sites without any editing or a decent cover. If you don’t have a professional product you aren’t going to sell very many books. It only takes four or five negative reviews that take you to task for the quality of your editing for many readers to avoid the product. At a minimum, ask a friend or two with an English background to edit the book for you. Even with one editor, you may eliminate 90 percent of the mistakes.

Another mistake is getting frustrated right away and giving up. Whether you attempt a traditional pathway to publication or self-publish, it takes persistence and a thick skin to achieve any level of success.

IN OUR VIEW | Marijuana business bans

Rethink marijuana shop bans Making something legal doesn’t make it universally accepted.

That’s the case for marijuana in Washington state as more cities and counties vote to ban or impose moratoriums on its production and sale. Snohomish, on a 4-3 vote, was the most recent municipality in the county to impose an outright ban on marijuana businesses.

More than 40 cities in the state, including six in Snohomish County, and Pierce, Clark and Yakima counties have similar bans. Another 80, such as Lynnwood, have moratoriums in place.

Cities and counties are well within their rights to impose such bans, at least until the state Supreme Court

determines otherwise. The state Attorney General wrote an opinion earlier in the year affirming local governments’ ability to ban marijuana businesses. And two Superior Court judges in Pierce and Chelan counties, have upheld bans in Fife and Wenatchee.

But there’s reason for cities and counties to reconsider their bans on marijuana businesses and instead zone them to appropriate areas.

Barring legitimate marijuana businesses does nothing to discourage the black market production and sale of pot, which was one of the selling points of Initiative 502 when it was approved by voters in 2012 with nearly 56 percent approval.

And banning marijuana businesses could eventually make obtaining it difficult for medical marijuana patients.

The Legislature, when it convenes in January, needs to find a way to merge the medical and recreational marijuana systems in the state. The medical marijuana system is largely unregulated — witness the “green mile” of collective gardens along Highway 9 in Clearview — which undercuts the recreational businesses and also is looked on dubiously by the U.S. Department of Justice.

But a financial consideration may be the most persuasive reason.

Yet to be determined by the state is how to divvy up about half of the tax revenue, projected at $318 million between now and 2019, from the production and sale of marijuana.

Cities and counties are hoping the state divides it among them. But if those cities and counties that ban marijuana businesses think they still deserve a cut, you have to wonder what they’re smoking.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■ FOOTBALL

Ban ‘late hits’ on quarterback I like watching football, especially professional football.

However, there is one thing I do not like about it. That is “late hits” on a quarterback.

I believe that once the football has left the quarterback’s hands, anyone on the opposing team must break off, or immediately stop, the attack on the quarterback.

Lately, I’ve seen more and more “late hits” on quarterbacks, and, I believe that such late hits are nothing but poor sportsmanship.

So, all folks connected to football, starting with NFL management, team owners, coaches, players and officials, from professional to amateur, please stop late hits on a quarterback.

Years ago, “horse collar” tackles were OK. Now, they are not. A late hit on a quarterback should result in a 15-yard penalty and an automatic first down.

I hope others will agree with me.

■ GLOBAL WARMING

People don’t get the concepts I am seeing a great deal of discussion of global warming in the news media. There are also those who criticize global warming doubters. Let us hope that we always have those who doubt prevailing scientific “wisdom” and all other prevailing “wisdom.”

The problem is that there seems to be a total lack of understanding of the concept of human-caused warming in the news media. The measures promoted to stop global warming would not achieve that goal. The problem is that carbon dioxide persists in the atmosphere for a long time. The measures promoted to stop global warming would only gradually reduce the amount of carbon dioxide being added to the atmosphere over decades.

These measures would not actually reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, only somewhat slow the increase. There is evidence that earth is warm enough at present to melt the permafrost in northern latitudes.

This melting is releasing methane which is a far more potent form of greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. This means that the warming is probably already self-sustaining. If so, even if we totally stopped our carbon dioxide emissions today it would not stop the warming.

Leonard: Fair, smart and kind I have known Remy Stephanson Leonard for 15 years and have observed her legal career and life outside of the courtroom. Remy was born and raised in Everett to a workingclass family who taught her to prioritize community above self. Her commitment to family, community and justice is remarkable.

We are fortunate to have the opportunity to elect a woman of her experience, integrity and work ethic for our judge.

Remy is the only candidate with experience as a deputy prosecuting attorney, serving our county for over six years, handling countless criminal cases in District and Superior Court.

Remy worked daily with crime victims, including adult and child victims of sexual assault and domestic violence. Her knowledge, intelligence and compassion for others are what made her a success as a prosecutor.

Remy took that experience into private civil practice, and began teaching her fellow community members about the law at EvCC, Columbia College and Trinity Lutheran College. Since 2013, Remy has served as a judge pro tem in four different county courts — all while teaching full time and raising her children.

Remy treats the people who come before her with respect and dignity. She is a reasonable, fair but tough judge who strives to make her community a safe and welcoming place for everyone.

Myriad groups endorse Howard

■ I-594

In a few days, Snohomish County voters will receive a ballot in the mail. As one of your Snohomish County Superior Court judges, I am painfully aware that many people do not vote for judges because they don’t have enough knowledge to make an informed choice. Given that the judiciary is a critical part of our society, this is a mistake.

This year, voters will elect a judge to fill a vacant seat on the Everett District Court bench. In this contested race, Anthony Howard is the obvious choice.

Three years ago, Howard was unanimously appointed by the Snohomish County District Court Judges to be the court’s commissioner. In this role, he has presided over hundreds of trials, motions and every type of calendar that District Court judges handle. He has also reviewed and signed almost 2,000 search warrants. He has earned the respect and endorsement of the court staff and all of the judges of the District Court, as well as six of the county’s law enforcement organizations.

In the recent poll of Snohomish County attorneys, Anthony Howard was rated four times higher than his opponent as best qualified for the position.

He has gained the backing of both Snohomish County Republican and Democratic parties because of his even-handed attention to justice. Finally, he

Gun owners object to I-594 on the basis that they think it results in gun registration.

They seem to think it could result in their guns being seized for no reason. There is no record of that happening, but gun owners are hysterical about it just the same.

We have car registration.

When you sell your car to someone else, you transfer the title. If the buyer commits a crime with that car, you cannot be held responsible because you have a record that you ceased ownership of that car on a certain date. You are protected from prosecution by having that record.

If you sell a gun without having a background check to prove you sold that gun legally, you have no way to prove that wasn’t your gun if the buyer decides to kill someone with it. If you have a document that says you parted company with the gun at a certain date and time with a legal buyer, you are protected from being prosecuted for a crime committed with that gun after the date and time of sale. If not, you are up the creek without a paddle.

And so-called law-abiding gun owners think it’s a good thing for innocent people to be charged with committing violent crimes, why, exactly?

Partisanship taking a toll on medical science

F

rancis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health, administered a dose of truth to political Washington last week.

For this honesty, Collins was pilloried.

In an interview, Collins shared with the Huffington Post’s Sam Stein his belief that, if not for recent federal spending DANA MILBANK cuts, “we probably would have had a vaccine in time for this” Ebola outbreak.

This should not be controversial. His conjecture was based on cold budgeting facts. NIH funding between fiscal year 2010 and fiscal year 2014 had dropped 10 percent in real dollars — and vaccine research took a proportionate hit. Research on an Ebola vaccine, at $37 million in 2010, was halved to $18 million in 2014.

Officials at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases report that budget cuts forced them to shelve 14 Ebolarelated grants, roughly a quarter of the total.

NIH was forced to prioritize spending to react to the most pressing threats rather than potential ones. Because there was little Ebola activity at the time, shifting money to Ebola from cancer or Alzheimer’s research wasn’t a viable possibility.

With Ebola vaccines now entering clinical trials, it’s not much of a stretch to conclude that, with those extra research dollars, vaccines would now be on the market — potentially saving thousands of lives in Africa and avoiding panic in the U.S. Yet conservatives pounced. Commentator Michelle Malkin’s website, “Twitchy,” called Collins a “fool” (this fool previously led the mapping of the human genome).

Republican candidates have begun making a campaign issue of waste at the NIH and its sister agency, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “Have you seen what the NIH spends money on?” Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., asked, mocking Collins’ claim at a rally Wednesday. “$117,000 spent to determine that most monkeys are right-handed, and like to throw poop with their right hand, apparently. $2.4 million of the NIH dollars was spent on origami condoms.”

The senator, who then proposed more budget cuts, ought to update his examples.

The right-handed monkey study? Done between 1992 and 1997. Origami condoms? The new device worn by women could protect millions, particularly in Africa, from AIDS. But perhaps Paul, an ophthalmologist, thinks that’s frivolous.

Collins, an evangelical Christian, was aghast that his remarks “turned into this really nasty political outcome that has resulted in attacks on NIH,” he told me.

“People are saying I’m overstating the circumstances, which I don’t think I am.”

Collins said he was equally appalled by an ad last week by the liberal Agenda Project Action Fund that juxtaposes Republicans saying the word “cut” with images of Ebola carnage. “Republican Cuts Kill,” it concludes.

Collins sees his beloved NIH falling into the gaping maw of politics that has consumed most everything else. “I’ve tried so hard in the 21 years I’ve been at NIH,” he said, “to keep medical research from becoming a partisan issue.”

Even libertarians tend to agree that medical research and public health, like national defense, are among the few things that should be a federal responsibility.

But while NIH funding grew steadily over the years, it leveled off at $28 billion in 2004 and was at $29.3 billion in 2013. When you factor in inflation, NIH’s purchasing power is down 23 percent over that period.

Collins admits it’s a mistake to think “throwing money at a medical problem automatically results in breakthroughs.”

But there are a few major research projects on the cusp of success that could bring financial benefits far beyond the cost.

NIH-funded researchers are “a few years away,” Collins said, from a universal flu vaccine that could protect people against virtually all strains without the need for annual shots. Yearly flu epidemics suck an estimated $87 billion out of the U.S. economy and can claim tens of thousands of lives; a pandemic strain could be much worse.

Who, of any political philosophy, would say it’s not worth $121 million — and more — for a universal flu vaccine?

Who would say, given the catastrophe that an Ebola outbreak could cause, that spending tens of millions more for an Ebola vaccine is wasteful? Only a fool.

Point Wells: What to watch

From Page A1

The main source of contention for neighbors has been limited access to the property through a twolane road from Shoreline in King County. Both Shoreline and Woodway want to annex the area for future tax revenue and to have more control over the project’s impacts.

As for the staffing contract, some of the objections from McCormick and other neighbors center on language that would give Blue Square “first-priority right” to use the time and

The latter assignment, he said, gives him a prominent role drafting legislation to boost the economy through bridge and highway projects. Larsen said he’s trying to overcome partisan bickering by working quietly with Republican colleagues on aerospace and Arctic issues.

To demonstrate his environmental record, Larsen points to money he secured to help restore local estuaries and legislation to protect land in the San Juan Islands.

The company plans to wait for the county to issue a draft environmental impact statement before deciding whether to seek a deviation from that requirement, attorney Gary Huff said.

Guillot serves on the Marysville Library Board, but has no experience in publicly elected office. He lost a race for the Marysville City Council last year.

Stopping the National Security Agency from spying on U.S. citizens is one of Guillot’s top political goals. His support for the Second Amendment, closing the borders to illegal immigrants and reducing federal spending puts him in line with the mainstream GOP. In other ways, Guillot is politically nonconformist.

Square’s staffing payment would result in “the timely and efficient processing” of the project application.

“The county should never

be saying it’s a time-sensitive matter,” McCormick said. “It should not matter to the county whether it’s processed quickly or not.”

The contract specifies a full-time planner, a half-time engineer and a half-time records specialist, employed up until the the end of 2015. No dollar amount is specified.

County Planning Director Clay White confirmed that his department was reviewing a draft.

Though White was unaware of any similar arrangements in Snohomish County, he said they were commonplace in other Washington jurisdictions.

Extra staff could speed

planners’ review of Point Wells, while preventing the complicated project from holding up approval for smaller developments.

“It benefits all parties,” White said. “When it comes time to do to the review, we’ll have time to do it.”

A legal consultant for the nonprofit Municipal Research and Services Center in Seattle said that, on its face, there’s nothing concerning about the developer paying for staff costs.

“The employees aren’t answerable to the developer in any way,” Bob Meinig said. “The fact that the funds come from the developer doesn’t create any legal issue.”

“I don’t want to see it, but it is their right,” he said.

He says he’s pro-military, but anti-war.

“We’ve been in a constant state of war since 9/11,” he said. “I don’t think it’s the right thing for us to do, getting involved with ISIS.” Guillot takes Larsen to task for supporting the Boeing Machinists’ vote on contract concessions.

That, he said, has cost the incumbent union support.

“He’s got some issues that make him particularly vulnerable this time around,” Guillot said.

Larsen said Guillot and others have misrepresented his position on the vote, which passed narrowly in January to cut worker benefits in exchange for future jet production in Everett.

“I did advocate that a vote be taken,” he said. “I didn’t advocate that people vote ‘yes’ or ‘no.’ ” Larsen said he understands that Machinists are

angry with him.

“Sometimes, friends disagree, but you just have to work together on the issues that come up,” he said.

The candidates differ on the proposed Gateway Pacific coal-export terminal at Cherry Point in Whatcom County.

Guillot opposes the project for its potential to worsen traffic headaches in Marysville and other communities along the rail line.

Another concern for Guillot is the increasing use

Blue Square operates locally as BSRE Point Wells and is a subsidiary of Israeli holding company Alon Group. The company submitted a permit application for the development in 2011.

A court battle over whether the project would have to adhere to stricter building rules, with lower density, ended in April after the state Supreme Court ruled in the developer’s favor.

Snohomish County planners aren’t likely to issue a draft environmental impact statement for the project until next year. A key component of that document will be a traffic study that Shoreline and Blue Square are working on jointly.

of trains to transport crude oil, which he said poses the risk of spills and explosions. It would be better, in his opinion, to build oil pipelines.

Larsen said he supports the Cherry Point Terminal, if it can be held to high standards to mitigate traffic and environmental impacts.

“I looked at the issue in totality and concluded that it was a good issue,” Larsen said. “It would create hundreds of jobs in a county where thousands are out of work.”

As for crude, he’d rather see trains carrying oil to refineries in his district and creating jobs.

“If they’re not refining this crude, we’re going to see more ships, more oil tankers on the Puget Sound,” he said.

Larsen wants to see freight impacts lessened through investments in roadways, more inspections, higher safety standards for tanker cars and additional training for emergency workers who would respond to a derailment.

By mid-October, Larsen’s campaign reported raising more than $774,000, Guillot’s only about $5,500.

DAILY CROSSWORD

LIVING WITH CHILDREN

On discipline, teachers’ hands often tied

By John Rosemond McClatchy-Tribune News Service

A

first-grade teacher asks what she can do about a girl in her class who is completely undisciplined. After nearly two months of this teacher’s best efforts, the child’s behavior is no better. She is defiant, aggressive toward other kids, and often gets out of her seat and crawls around on the floor. Several years ago, she taught the girl’s older sister who also had numerous discipline issues. The home is chaotic, so the teacher doubts she can expect much if any help from the parents.

The further problem is that the public school in which she teaches forbids the use of “negative” consequences. She can’t take any privilege, including recess, away from the child. She is restricted to using a visual “red light, green light” system that simply lets the child know what her behavior level is at any given moment in time.

At the end of the day, she sends home notices to the parents of those kids who’ve had problems.

With great regret, I told the teacher that I had no suggestions that I’d put any faith in. There are two roadblocks to success in this

sort of situation. First, a teacher cannot be expected to get a child’s behavior under control without full cooperation from the child’s parents. That cooperation has to include unmitigated acknowledgment of the problem as well as a commitment to follow through at home when there are discipline problems at school. Lacking that, a teacher is limited to containment strategies with a problem child. Furthermore, she will start every day at pretty much square one. With parent cooperation, a discipline problem can generally be solved quickly.

Unfortunately, there is widespread reluctance on the part of today’s parents to fully acknowledge their kids’ classroom behavior problems. Upon hearing of a problem, too many parents toss the hot potato back at the teacher, claiming that her management of or attitude toward the child is the issue, not the child’s behavior.

The second roadblock, described in this teacher’s communication with me, is public school discipline policy. With rare exception these days, schools tie the hands of teachers behind their backs.

As in this teacher’s case, they forbid “negative” consequences

like taking away recess or having misbehaving children write sentences. They send teachers to seminars on behavior-modification based classroom strategies that “work” only with kids who would be well-behaved without them.

The weaknesses inherent in public school discipline policy virtually guarantee that far too many kids will end up being diagnosed as having “disorders” of one sort or another and given potentially risky psychiatric medications.

A 2004 study by the Thomas B. Fordham Institute found that more than 1 in 4 public school teachers put their children in private schools. At the time, that was more than twice the figure for all parents. One of the top three reasons cited by these teachers was better discipline policies. Neither of the two national teachers’ unions would comment on the study. Fancy that.

No one has more investment in classroom discipline than a teacher. Public school teachers are highly likely to opt out of public education for their own kids, in order that they might be disciplined more effectively. It’s time the educrats put those two facts together.

Is it appropriate to let her have a holster and an obviously toy gun to accessorize her costume for trick-or-treating? She would not be taking that part of her costume to school on Halloween. I live in a part of the country where guns are an important part of our culture, but I am unsure how to proceed. — Confused About Halloween In Montana Dear Confused: Guns may be an important part of the culture where you live, but how do YOU feel about them? If it’s all right with you, and the weapon your child carries is obviously a toy, then there should be no problem as you take her from house to house collecting her goodies. But there is nothing wrong with a 7-year-old cowgirl not having a gun and holster as part of her costume. If you need verification, have her check out the character Jessie in the movie “Toy Story 2.”

P.S. Having her not take a toy gun to school is wise because many schools have policies about weapons — including toy weapons — being brought on campus.

Bono: Sunglasses are due to glaucoma Associated Press LONDON — U2 singer Bono says his ever-present sunglasses aren’t a rockstar affectation — he has suffered from glaucoma for 20 years.

The condition — a buildup of pressure that

can damage the optic nerve — can make the eyes sensitive to light.

Bono told the BBC’s

Bono

“Graham Norton Show” that he had the condition, but “I have good treatments and I am going to be fine.”

He said people would now think of him as “poor old blind Bono.”

He also acknowledged that some people had been annoyed when U2’s new

album, “Songs of Innocence,” was sent unsolicited to millions of people with iTunes accounts. In comments released Friday by the BBC, Bono said, “We wanted to do something fresh, but it seems some people don’t believe in Father Christmas.”

Archaeologists seek movie set in California sands Associated Press GUADALUPE, Calif. — Archaeologists working in the sand dunes along the Central California coast are digging up ancient sphinxes — but these are made of plaster.

More than 90 years ago, legendary filmmaker Cecile B. DeMille erected 21 giant sphinxes and an 800-foot-wide temple as a set for the silent, black-and-white classic movie “The Ten Commandments.”

But in 1923, when filming was over, DeMille abandoned them there among the sands of the Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes in Santa Barbara County.

Now, archaeologists are digging for the fragile plaster sphinxes and this week began excavations on one that they hope will eventually be on display at the nearby GuadalupeNipomo Dunes Center, which has raised $120,000 for the dig, the Los Angeles Times reported.

“It’s a once-in-a-lifetime kind of site,” said M. Colleen Hamilton, a senior historical archaeologist

with Applied EarthWorks and project director for the excavation. “I’ve worked on sites all over the country, and I think this one could only happen in California.”

Crews began digging in 2012 and found one sphinx but money for the project ran out. Parts of that sphinx’s head are on display at the Dunes Center.

When they returned this year for the body, they found the wind had shifted the sand, exposing the plaster and damaging it

beyond repair.

But the wind had also revealed a hint of the foot and leg of another sphinx, the Times reported.

“It was a really pleasant surprise when we found out it was almost a full sphinx,” said Doug Jenzen, executive director of the Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes Center.

The second sphinx was missing much of its face — but archaeologists had been looking for an intact body to put on display to

match the earlier head.

To keep the fragile plaster from cracking, the team covered the pieces of the sphinx in liquid consolidant and wrapped them in cheesecloth, Hamilton

said. They removed sand from the body and filled it with foam to keep it stable.

Residents of Guadalupe, a small farming community, left the set alone for decades out of respect,

said Shirley Boydstun, 86, a member of the Rancho de Guadalupe Historical Society.

“The old-timers have always known it was out there,” she said.

HOROSCOPE Happy Birthday: Initiate the changes you’ve been contemplating. Show your readiness to do something about your concerns, and you will feel empowered to attract the support you need to reach your goal. Partnerships will undergo a shakeup that will weed out anyone who hasn’t been contributing enough. Your numbers are 3, 11, 17, 21, 33, 35, 42.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t be afraid to make a change. An opportunity is in the stars, but relocation or a lifestyle change may be necessary to take advantage of it. ��� TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t wait for an invitation or for someone else to take charge. A creative opportunity will play into your plans. Unanticipated changes are likely to occur, allowing you to do something unique. ����� GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Think matters through carefully and you will maintain control of whatever situation you face. Expect to be tested on an emotional level. Show your strengths and you will come out ahead. �� CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t hold back. Prepare to travel if necessary. Interacting with people will help you make a convincing presentation regarding your ideas and plans for the future. ���� LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Take care of a serious situation early in the day so you can move on to happier moments. Consider your options and you will find a solution that suits you perfectly and encourages you to follow the most enticing path. ��� VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Confusion will

set in if you are pushed into a corner. Don’t ignore your responsibilities, but don’t allow anyone to make demands or dump chores on your lap that don’t belong to you. ��� LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Dealing with institutions and authority figures will be challenging but revealing. A change in the way you feel and the direction you want to head will cause conflict with someone who tries to make choices for you. ��� SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Call in favors and approach people who can help you reach your goal. Make life-altering changes that will help you gain greater freedom.

Times are changing and your time to get ahead is now, so take the initiative. ���� SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Stay on top of situations that are in the midst of developing. You can raise your standard of living by identifying and then making the most of any exciting new opportunities that come your way. �� CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Tread carefully when dealing with others or traveling.

Your best recourse is not change; it’s compromise and protection. Make sure assets and possessions are safe from anyone who may be looking for a handout. ����� AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You have plenty going for you, so don’t let someone with a negative attitude slow you down. Making a move or having a serious talk about your future will lead to forward motion. ��� PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Make plans to tie up paperwork and to secure your personal financial position. Money is headed your way, but a lack of discipline can turn your profits into a loss if you overspend or are careless with your money. ��� Universal Uclick

2014 GAME 6

St. Louis Rams 28, Seattle Seahawks 26

Rams trick Seahawks

CHRIS LEE /ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH

Seahawks wide receiver Jermaine Kearse (15) tips a pass away from Seattle running back Robert Turbin (22) on a two-point conversion attempt that would have tied the score at 21-21 with 9:51 to play in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s game against the Rams. Covering on the play is St. Louis linebacker James Laurinaitis (55).

COMMENTARY

Despite Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson becoming the first NFL player to pass for 300 yards and run for 100 in a game, the Seahawks were unable to overcome special teams’ mistakes on the Rams’ trick plays.

Seahawks are a medicore and, yes, ordinary team

By Dave Boling

The News Tribune

The News Tribune

T. LOUIS — No way around it, the Seattle Seahawks, the defending world champions, are a mediocre team at the moment.

And that may be giving them a little benefit of the doubt after the 28-26 loss to the previously 1-4 St. Louis Rams dropped them to 3-3.

Those Seahawks who spoke in the locker room afterward focused on their 20 second-half points as a signal that they have things turned in the right direction.

Maybe, we’ll need to see further evidence next week at Carolina.

Fact is, on Sunday, for the second consecutive week, they were out-played and out-coached.

Maybe they were emotionally hung over from the Percy Harvin-trade drama, and only snapped out of it after their halftime break.

But the problems seem far deeper than the sudden discarding of a disgruntled prima donna receiver.

They still did not block well (quarterback Russell Wilson getting sacked three times and hit seven times, while backs were caught five times behind the line of scrimmage).

They still did not tackle well (getting gashed up the middle a number of times by backup running back Tre Mason).

ST. LOUIS — Russell Wilson ran when he had to.

Threw precise darts when he had to. Twice, he willed his Seahawks back from 18 points down to within two points late.

On this Sunday inside the Edward Jones Dome, Seattle’s ✓ Baldwin has seven catches for relentless quarterback 123 yards and TD C4 rebounded from one ✓ Seahawks players sound of the worst games of divided on whether Harvin was his career to do just such a bad fit for the team C4 about everything. ✓ Seahawks grades C4 Except, that is, play ✓ John Boyle: 5 things we special teams. learned C5 Or win.

“I don’t care,” he responded. “I’m about winning.”

That didn’t happen. Again. Wilson’s 313 yards passing with two touchdowns plus 106 yards running, Doug Baldwin’s seven catches for 123 yards in his first game as the new No. 1 receiver with $11 million man Percy Harvin stunningly traded two days earlier, none of that ultimately kept Seattle from a self-inflicted,

Sounders rally, tie Galaxy 2-2 Supporters’ Shield will be awarded after Saturday’s season finale in Seattle McClatchy News Services CARSON, CALIF. — Thirtythree games into a 34-game season, the Seattle Sounders and the Los Angeles Galaxy remain even in the Major League Soccer points race.

The teams added another even 90 minutes Sunday, as the Sounders rallied from two goals down for a 2-2 draw at sold-out

StubHub Center.

The tie finally will be broken and superiority settled Saturday when the teams meet in the final game of their regular-seasons — this time at CenturyLink Field, which will be open to its full capacity.

A win or a draw will give the Sounders their first Supporters Shield. A Galaxy win would secure the club’s fifth Shield.

“We leave with a good feeling,” Sounders forward Clint Dempsey said. “We got a point. And we go into the final knowing if we get a draw or get a win, we’ll finish on top.”

By Janie McCauley Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO — Tim Lincecum walked silently through the bustling clubhouse before Saturday’s workout and stuck his left arm straight out as he passed Jean Machi’s locker, offering a friendly fist bump to the reliever.

No words necessary.

Lincecum, so far an unused reliever this postseason, is doing everything he can to stay involved in the San Francisco Giants’ latest World Series run after he was such an important part of the previous two.

Ask anybody, and it’s a little bit freaky not seeing The Freak on that familiar October stage.

A two-time NL Cy Young Award winner relegated to the back of the bullpen.

Lincecum hasn’t pitched since Sept. 28, though he has thrown warmup tosses and kept his routine to ensure he’s ready for his next chance — and manager Bruce Bochy hinted he very much expects to use the right-hander against the Royals.

“I’m just trying to keep that flow in my emotional state, as well,” Lincecum said. “Just kind of stay positive and just take every day for what it is. Every day in the playoffs is pretty special.”

Even if he’s left watching and waiting for his turn.

Lincecum pitched the 2010 Game 5 World Series clincher at Texas. In 2012, he moved to the bullpen for the playoffs and emerged as a reliable reliever

when San Francisco won another title.

After landing a new $35 million, two-year deal last October, Lincecum tossed his second no-hitter in less than a year June 25 against San Diego. He went 12-9 with a 4.74 ERA in 26 starts, ending a run of three straight years with a losing record.

His teammates understand this can’t be easy for the guy once nicknamed “Franchise.”

“I do everything I can do to encourage him on a daily basis because at some point in time (his) number could be called and it’s going to be in a big spot.

It’s the World Series now,” said Jake Peavy, the Game 2 World Series starter. “We believe in Timmy Lincecum. He’s done amazing things, he’s as bigtime as anybody and has had tremendous playoff starts as a starter, tremendous playoff experience out of the bullpen.”

Lincecum was the Giants’ 10th overall draft pick from the University of Washington in 2006 and was in the big leagues by the following May. Lincecum lost his rotation spot in late August and was replaced by Yusmeiro Petit. Lincecum won his last two outings pitching out of the bullpen, including his 100th career victory Sept. 25 against the Padres.

Even Bochy considers Lincecum, knowing how much he wants to contribute — and how much Bochy wants him to get that opportunity, when the moment is right.

In the NL Division Series and

NLCS, Lincecum was the only player on the 25-man roster not used.

“He’s just an unbelievable teammate, he’s so selfless that it inspires each and every one of us,” right fielder Hunter Pence said. “He’s also a big-game pitcher. He has that flair for the spectacular. You’ve seen it with two no-hitters where he lifts us up through some of our tough times and you’ve seen it in the postseason.”

Lincecum didn’t even enter the 18-inning Game 2 division series win at Washington.

Bochy said he would have used him but plans changed once the Giants took the lead.

“Timmy’s done a lot for us, I’ll start with that,” Bochy said.

“When you get in the postseason, there is probably going to be a guy, maybe two who doesn’t get a lot of work, but that doesn’t mean he might not play a key role. ... I think about Timmy, trust me, the fact he hasn’t been in there because I haven’t forgotten what he’s done or what he could do for us. So far it’s worked out well.

But still, I’d like to get him to be part of it.”

“I feel great,” Lincecum said.

“It’s just about staying that way. ... I don’t think there’s any way to kind of lose it at this time of the year. Everybody’s kind of, whatever’s left in the tank you’re going to pour it on that field whenever you get a chance. I just try to be myself, keep a light mood. Along with that grind, we celebrate our small accomplishments.”

COMMENTARY | College football

Thrilling season makes it tough to predict playoffs

By Chris Dufresne Los Angeles Times

N

otre Dame was the last program you thought would screw up a simple throw and catch.

The Fighting Irish didn’t invent the forward pass, but certainly modernized it during a 1913 game against Army.

Gus Dorais and Knute Rockne practiced all summer while working as lifeguards, before unleashing this secret passcatch weapon in a 35-13 victory at West Point, N.Y. One newspaper account noted “the westerners played the fastest game of football seen on the local grid iron in years.”

Dorais completed 14 of 17 passes for a then-unthinkable 243 yards. P.S.: Have Tom Brady and Peyton Manning ever said “thank you”?

Flash forward 101 years to Saturday night in Tallahassee, Fla., where all Notre Dame needed to upset Florida State was a legally executed pass play from the opponent’s two.

College football’s rooting interests, so often aligned against Notre Dame, were leaning with the Irish against the Seminoles and their petulant passer, Jameis Winston.

Everett Golson appeared to deliver the goods when, with 13 seconds left, he found Corey Robinson wide open for an apparent touchdown.

Officials, though, waved off

the holiday by calling Notre Dame for pass interference.

The worst part was the officials appeared to get it right; where was a Pac-12 Conference crew when you needed it?

Apparently, according to “rules,” you cannot act like a snow plow and clear a path for your receiver/teammate. The officials could have nailed two receivers, Will Fuller or C.J. Prosise, for violations.

You knew the argument was toast when former Notre Dame coach Lou Holtz, now an ESPN analyst, said it was a penalty.

Irish coach Brian Kelly remained among those in the minority.

“We execute that play every day,” he said after the game.

“And we do it legally and that is the way we coach it.”

Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher, however, said he warned officials after what he thought was a Notre Dame “pick” play.

“We said just be aware of it,” Fisher said.

Kelly kept punching Sunday when he said that “Florida State blew the coverage and they got rewarded for it.”

Oh, well ...

The finish was a thriller in a season of thrillers, which makes prognosticating for the playoffs such fool’s folly.

Early this month, after Oregon lost at home to Arizona, we awoke to headlines proclaiming the Pac-12 was dead.

NFL.com’s Inside Slant

column reported the “Pac-12 on road to being shut out” and ESPN Insider proclaimed “Pac12 unlikely to have a playoff team.”

The ESPN headline was over a pay site that required a subscription for more information (um, no thanks).

Suddenly, the new conference on the outs is the Big 12, not the Pac-12. Experts staked that claim after kingpins Baylor and Oklahoma fell Saturday.

Oregon, the team with no chance Oct. 8, appeared at No. 6 in Sunday’s Associated Press poll. That practically puts the Ducks in the playoffs if they win out and win the Pac-12. Four of the five teams ahead of Oregon in the top five — Mississippi State, Mississippi, Alabama and Auburn — play each other.

The Pac-12, as a balanced bundle, has half its teams in the top 25.

The selection committee decided to wait until Oct. 28 to release its first top 25 for a pretty good reason: it wanted to mix in some facts.

One school allowed to steal early poll positions was Mississippi State, which rose from unranked to No. 3 based on victories over “top 10” Texas A&M and Louisiana State. Texas A&M is 5-3 and no longer ranked and Louisiana State is 6-2 and ranked No. 24.

That said, do not expect the selection committee to ask Mississippi State to surrender 11

bogus poll spots it earned from Texas A&M. The best any of us can do now is just hold on until December. The number of games already decided by a sneeze is astonishing.

Oklahoma was likely eliminated from contention because kicker Michael Hunnicutt, inarguably one of the nation’s best, missed a 19-yard chip shot against Kansas State.

All coach Bob Stoops could do after Oklahoma’s 31-30 loss was put his arm around Hunnicutt and tell him he’d trust him with the next big kick.

“I would, and I still will,” Stoops said.

There are too many of these sob-story results to put trust in any preseason conviction.

The Pac-12 was actually a letdown this weekend because only one game, Utah’s two-overtime victory at Oregon State on Thursday, was decided on the final play. UCLA’s two-point victory at California had the relative cushion of Marcus Rios’ circus interception and the Bruins running out the clock inside their five-yard line.

The committee convening in Dallas next week will be asked to draw some conference-strength conclusions based on these Pac-12 games decided on the final gun: Arizona over Cal (Hail Mary), Cal over Washington State, Utah over UCLA, Utah over Oregon State and Arizona State over USC (Hail Mary).

Palmer wins in Oakland return sive performance that carried the Ravens.

Associated Press

Packers 38, Panthers 17

OAKLAND, Calif. — Carson Palmer threw two touchdown passes in his return to Oakland to send the Raiders to their 12th straight loss.

Stepfan Taylor caught one touchdown pass and ran for another, and Andre Ellington gained 160 yards from scrimmage for the Cardinals (5-1), who are off to their best start since 1976.

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Aaron Rodgers threw for 255 yards and three touchdowns, and Randall Cobb torched the Carolina secondary for 121 yards on receptions.

Colts 27, Bengals 0 INDIANAPOLIS — Andrew Luck threw two touchdown passes and the Colts’ defense dominated Cincinnati. Luck was 27 of 42 for 344 yards as Indianapolis (5-2) won its fifth straight. It was Indy’s first shutout since December 2008.

Jaguars 24, Browns 6 JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Denard Robinson ran for a career-high 127 yards and a touchdown, Jacksonville’s defense came up big in the red zone, and the Jaguars snapped a nine-game losing streak with a victory against Cleveland.

Broncos QB breaks record for career TD passes as Denver throttles 49ers

Cowboys 31, Giants 21 ARLINGTON, Texas — Tony Romo threw three touchdown passes, and DeMarco Murray broke Jim Brown’s 56-year old NFL record with his seventh straight 100-yard rushing game to start a season.

Associated Press DENVER — Peyton Manning’s receivers played keep-away with his milestone memento and the NFL’s new leader in career touchdown passes toyed with the San Francisco 49ers in the Denver Broncos’ emphatic 42-17 victory Sunday night.

Manning went into the showdown two TDs shy of Brett Favre’s record of 508 and threw four touchdown passes, giving him 510. “It is quite an honor,” Manning said. “I do have great appreciation for quarterbacks who played this game throughout the years. It’s very humbling, has taken a lot of hard work, a lot of people helped me get to this point.”

Manning surpassed Favre’s mark with an 8-yard strike to Demaryius Thomas late in the second quarter. As he went to retrieve the football, his teammates decided to have some fun.

Thomas tossed the historic ball over Manning and to Emmanuel Sanders, who then lobbed it to Wes Welker. From there, Welker dished it back to Sanders, who then flipped it to Julius Thomas — all of Manning’s favorite targets getting into the act.

“I heard whispers about something,” Manning said. “Those guys are all great athletes and my vertical leap isn’t what it used to be. I haven’t played keep-away since I was 8 years old. That is something I will always remember.”

Murray sets record with 7th 100-yard day Associated Press ARLINGTON, Texas — DeMarco Murray is the first running back in NFL history to start a season with seven straight 100-yard games.

The NFL rushing leader reached 100 yards on a 1-yard plunge early in the fourth quarter for the Dallas Cowboys against the New York Giants on Sunday.

Oklahoma was tied with Hall of Famer Jim Brown, who hit the century mark in six straight games to start the 1958 season for Cleveland.

Murray was on the verge of reaching 900 yards through seven games, on pace to surpass 2,000 yards two years after Adrian Peterson had 2,097 for Minnesota.

Buffalo Bills had their top two running backs carted off the field in the first half of the team’s 17-16 win over Minnesota.

Fred Jackson and C.J. Spiller were injured 10 minutes apart on Sunday, with Spiller sustaining a shoulder injury and Jackson a groin pull. It’s unclear how long the tandem will be out.

Spiller, carted off in tears, will miss what coach Doug Marrone called “an undetermined amount of time.” Jackson will have more tests before the team can comment.

Seahawks divided on Harvin issue

Report Card Offense

B+

The Seahawks’ offense was phenomenal in the second half, scoring on drives of 82, 91 and 80 yards on its final three possessions to keep Seattle in the game. Russell Wilson put up huge numbers, passing for 313 yards and rushing for 106. Doug Baldwin had a huge game with 123 yards on seven catches. And Seattle had 463 total yards. Even so, as impressive as those numbers were, more consistency early might have helped the Seahawks avoid playing from such a big deficit in the first place.

By Gregg Bell The News Tribune

Defense

C-

The Rams gained 272 yards, and a lot of their scoring was the result of big plays on special teams. But even so, this wasn’t a great performance for Seattle’s defense. The Seahawks didn’t force a turnover playing a quarterback who has thrown three pick-sixes at home this season. They didn’t sack Austin Davis once. Worst of all, they let the Rams drive 80 yards for a touchdown on eight plays late in the game when they desperately needed a stop. Injuries have contributed to Seattle’s defensive struggles. But full strength or not, the Seahawks are going to have to figure out a way to be better on defense if they’re going to get back to being an elite team.

Special teams

F

The Seahawks have been very good on special teams since Pete Carroll took over in 2010. On Sunday, however, Seattle’s special teams play was an unmitigated disaster. The Rams used a 75-yard kick return to set up a touchdown. They scored on a 90-yard punt return that saw Seattle’s entire coverage unit fooled by a bit of misdirection. Then after a comeback gave the Seahawks a chance to take the lead late in the fourth quarter, the Rams used a fake punt to help ice the game.

Coaching

D

Considering the injury situation, as well as the decision to trade Percy Harvin late in the week, the Seahawks deserve some credit for the way the offense functioned, particularly in the second half. Everything else, however, left a lot to be desired. Despite knowing that St. Louis coach Jeff Fisher has a propensity for special teams trickery, the Seahawks were burned twice by the Rams.

Baldwin steps up Seahawks receiver has 7 receptions for 123 yards, TD

By Dave Boling The News Tribune

ST. LOUIS — Doug Baldwin caught seven passes for 123 yards for the Seahawks against the Rams on Sunday.

That’s just 10 yards shy of Percy Harvin’s total receiving yardage in the five games leading up to his sudden trade Friday afternoon.

So, if the question is whether the Seahawks miss the departed Harvin, the answer rests in Baldwin’s stats.

The comparison to Harvin is apt because Baldwin moves into Harvin’s slot position at times now that he’s gone, and also because Baldwin confirmed after the game that he had been in an altercation with the combative Harvin during the preseason.

“Obviously, a lot of things went on this week that affected the team in numerous ways,”

Baldwin said of the trade of Harvin, who reportedly had scuffles and disputes with other Seahawks as well as Baldwin.

The Harvin trade came though Friday afternoon just as the team was heading toward the buses to the airport. So Baldwin had to adjust to the change, literally, on the fly.

With the expanded role, Baldwin racked up his secondbest game in terms of yardage, behind only the 136 yards he picked up against the New York Giants his rookie season.

“I’m just very proud of my teammates and this team as a whole with how we fought to the very end,” Baldwin said of the late rally that came up short, 28-26. “We’ve got a lot of things to clean up, but I think we’re back on the right track.”

The Seahawks outgained St. Louis 463 yards to 272, but their 89 yards in penalties and

susceptibility to falling for special teams tricks by the Rams led to the defeat.

“I don’t really believe in moral victories,” Baldwin said.

“But we try to be positive even when things don’t go our way.

My motto is you win some, you learn some, and I felt like today, even though we didn’t win the game, there’s a lot we can learn; we got back to who we were as an offense.”

Baldwin said he thought coordinator Darrell Bevell “called a great game,” and in some regards it made the game — at least the second half — seem so much better than last week’s loss at home to Dallas.

“It’s completely different from the game last week,” Baldwin said. “I thought we didn’t have any growth in that game, but in this one, you could feel the growth within our offense and I’m excited about that going forward.”

Boling From Page C1

And they certainly were hoodwinked once again by the St. Louis special teams, which scored on a misdirection punt return, made a crucial late first down on a fake punt, and set up a short-field scoring drive with a 75-yard kickoff return.

St. Louis head coach Jeff Fisher and the Rams pull off that kind of stuff almost every time the Seahawks play them.

And yet it continues to work.

In the locker room afterward, Seahawks receiver Doug Baldwin, who had an exceptional game with seven catches for 123 yards, confirmed he’d had a physical altercation with Harvin in the preseason.

It had been a draining week, he said, and it was only human nature for the team to be distracted by it.

The Harvin soap opera, though, was less damaging than the actual physical absences of some injured Seahawks at key positions.

Without starting tight end Zach Miller, they have more trouble protecting Wilson and setting the edge on perimeter runs.

With middle linebacker Bobby Wagner out, the Seahawks linebackers looked slow and ineffective, so frequently failing to scrape and fill the gaps, or wrap up the back even when they did.

Center Max Unger was out, too, and his backup, Stephen Schilling, had troubles against the Rams like the rest of the line.

How much trouble? The Seahawks can thank Wilson that the sack total was as low as three. He was on the run

all day, and making plays that were, at times, ridiculously creative and athletic.

He finished with 106 rushing yards on seven carries, and 313 passing yards, with a 110.1 passer rating, to become the first player in NFL history to pass for more than 300 yards and rush for more than 100 yards.

Wilson said none of that mattered as much as the team’s “resilience” in the second half.

“We gave ourselves a chance there all the way to the end.”

Yes, they had a chance, and didn’t close the deal.

Head coach Pete Carroll said he was encouraged that the team did “all the things that you have to do to get back in a football game ... we rallied in every way.”

Well, not in every way. And not soon enough.

We don’t usually see owner Paul Allen on the field during

warmups at road games, but he walked with Carroll to the locker room before the game.

Perhaps he was asking him why they spent $18 million of his money for a dysfunctional receiver.

If so, he’s got the right to question that ... and a few other topics that have become pressing issues, as well.

This team has been so good and competitive for so long that it was easy to believe them, after the previous two losses, when they said that problems would get fixed, and nothing was drastically wrong.

Maybe getting rid of Harvin will give them more time to focus on the game rather than fighting in the locker room or sideline skulking.

But right now, the brilliance of some individuals is not enough to make this a team that is anything better than ordinary.

ST. LOUIS — The reasons for Friday’s stunning trade of Percy Harvin to the New York Jets include some of what you’ve already read — but not all.

And Seahawks players sounded divided Sunday on whether Harvin was such a bad fit for the team and the locker room that he needed to go two days before their 28-26 loss at the St. Louis Rams.

Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin confirmed in a candid postgame talk following Sunday’s loss here that he and Harvin got in a physical altercation days before Seattle played its preseason finale at Oakland in late August. The team had said at the time that Harvin was away for “personal reasons” that week. It turns out the Seahawks essentially suspended him for fighting Baldwin.

“Yes, it is true,” Baldwin said of the fight. “However, when you deal with somebody 12, 14 hours a day, you’re going to have issues and conflict. It’s a family in this locker room. Just like family members you’re going to have issues and scuffles.”

Baldwin called the trade “stunning” for him and his teammates, and a “drastic” move.

The News Tribune confirmed Sunday from multiple league sources with knowledge of why the Seahawks gave up on Harvin that he refused to re-enter last week’s loss to Dallas in the fourth quarter. That is partly why No. 5 wide receiver Bryan Walters got the ball for lost yardage on a botched play late in that game.

Asked by The News Tribune following Sunday’s game if that was true Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said: “I’m not going to comment on that. Thanks.”

The TNT also learned from those same sources that Harvin got in a second physical altercation with a teammate, former Seahawks wide receiver Golden Tate, in the days before February’s Super Bowl in which Harvin starred. Tate signed in the offseason with the Detroit Lions.

“Everything that goes on, we keep to ourselves — as we’ve done all along, as we did throughout (this),” Carroll said.

One source that confirmed the fight with Tate refuted national reports that Harvin openly challenged quarterback Russell Wilson in the locker room recently. Reports have portrayed that as the final act that prompted Friday’s stunning trade of Harvin to the Jets for a conditional sixthround draft choice next spring.

When asked if he saw any evidence that made Harvin a “bad fit” for the Seahawks, Wilson said following Sunday’s game: “That’s nobody’s business.

“The locker room is our locker room. We keep everything inhouse. He fought hard for us. He played great football in terms of battling every day.

“For whatever reason it didn’t work here, but I pray for him,” Wilson said. “I pray that he finds peace. I pray that it works for him in New York or wherever else it is. ... I wish nothing but the best for Percy. He’s a guy (like Wilson) from Virginia who I respect.”

Was there a “last straw” that hastened the trade? Carroll said no.

“It was a process,” the coach said. “We are constantly evaluating and re-evaluating. We have made a lot of bold decisions and moves over time. It’s not about making the decision. It’s about making the decision right.”

There appears to be two camps on Harvin inside the locker room: one side that, like Baldwin, clashed with him. And another side that liked having the talented Harvin as a teammate, to hear All-Pros Richard Sherman and Earl Thomas plus defensive end Cliff Avril tell it Sunday.

Asked by The News Tribune if he saw any evidence that Harvin was a bad fit for the Seahawks, Sherman said Sunday, “I did not.”

“He was a great teammate while he was here,” Sherman added.

And Thomas answered the same question with “No. I thought he was a great guy.”

Wilson trusts third-string TE Helfet

By Gregg Bell

JOHN BOYLE

The News Tribune

ST. LOUIS — Cooper Helfet’s first NFL start might have been the best debut a Seahawks No. 3 tight end has ever had.

Not too many Plan Cs can make the play the third-year veteran from Duke made in the fourth quarter Sunday. Even fewer former lacrosse players can.

Helfet helped Seattle rally from 18 points down to within 21-19 of the St. Louis Rams with just over 9 minutes left.

The Seahawks faced a first and 14 at the Rams 19. Wilson spread his formation and sent the 6-foot-3 Helfet where he had been most of the game, on the outside against shorter defensive backs.

Pressured from the umpteenth time on a drop back this season, Wilson nodded on the run toward Helfet to break off his out route into a sprint down the sideline.

The quarterback then sent a strike toward Helfet’s back shoulder.

With a defender leaning on his left, inside arm, Helfet leaned right, into the boundary. He twisted his body back toward the ball and leaped. Wilson exquisitely threw it where only Helfet could catch it, and he did for the score.

“Russell put a perfect ball out there and made it easy on me,” Helfet said.

Wilson’s subsequent twopoint conversion pass failed, keeping Seattle behind before it eventually lost for the second consecutive week, 28-26.

Helfet was starting in his fourth NFL game because starter Zach Miller is still recovering from ankle surgery and No. 2 tight end Luke Willson missed Sunday’s game with a groin injury.

The fact Wilson would target a covered Helfet on an improvisational route shows how much faith the quarterback has in the guy with whom Wilson entered the league in 2012. That was when Helfet was an undrafted free agent on his way to being waived injured and then resigned by the Seahawks.

He originally entered college on a lacrosse scholarship to Johns Hopkins in Baltimore. He went home to Santa Rosa Junior College near his hometown of

28-26 loss to the Rams.

As head coach Pete Carroll said afterward: “There is so much room for improvement.”

Monumental breakdowns on special-teams cost the Seahawks 14 points, a final possession likely near midfield — and ultimately the game.

Afterward, players such as linebacker K.J. Wright sat stunned in front of lockers with hands on their chins.

Yet Wilson remained characteristically sunny-side up afterward.

“I think the best part about today, even despite the loss, is just our resilience,” Wilson said.

“Our resilience showed up.

“Our backs were definitely against the wall.”

They still are.

The Super Bowl champions are 3-3, and Wilson is the quarterback of the third-place team in the NFC West entering next week’s game at NFC South leader Carolina. The Seahawks are on their first two-game losing streak in 24 months. They have as many defeats in six games as they had in all 19 games last season.

Without Harvin to feature on gadget fly sweeps, bubble screens and tailback runs anymore, offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell started the game by going back to what got Seattle to the Super Bowl last year: relying on the power running of Marshawn Lynch. Lynch carried five times on the first drive, which ended with Steven Hauschka’s field goal. He carried 18 times in all, for 53 yards.

The strategy of finally feeding Lynch would have — should have — worked for a win. Seattle out-gained St. Louis 463 yards to

What we learned ...

F

or the first time since the middle of the 2012 season, the Seahawks lost consecutive games thanks to their 28-26 loss to the St. Louis Rams, who before Sunday were a one-win team.

Here are five takeaways from Sunday’s loss:

1

Special teams play was a disaster

The Seahawks have a board outside their locker room they use to grade their special teams play. For each category they do well in (“score or set up a score,” for example) a Seahawks helmet is placed in a box. After last week’s game, the Seahawks were a perfect 12 for 12; this week it’s safe to assume that won’t be the case. A week after special teams play was the only reason the Seahawks were in a game they would eventually lose to Dallas, special teams was the main reason they lost to St. Louis.

TOM GANNAM / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Seahawks tight end Cooper Helfet keeps his feet inbounds as he catches a 19-yard touchdown pass as Rams strong safety T.J. McDonald defends during the fourth quarter.

Kentfield, California, for two years before he transferred to Duke.

Now he might be a fixture in Seattle’s passing game for a while. He finished with three catches for 61 yards Sunday.

“Cooper Helfet, for his ability to step in,” Wilson said, shaking his head after the game. “We’re down Zach Miller. We’re down Luke Willson. He steps in and plays a tremendous football game. It shows the depth that we have at all positions, for the most part.

“And that’s the exciting part.”

on injured reserve because of his broken foot.

The rest of the inactives were expected. Bobby Wagner (turf toe) missed the first of what may be multiple games. K.J. Wright moved from outside to start at middle linebacker, with Bruce Irvin and Malcolm Smith starting at outside linebacker.

Smith and Wright finished with 10 tackles each.

Center Max Unger (sprained foot) was out again, so Stephen Schilling got his second consecutive and second career start there. Schilling then injured what appeared to be his leg and left for a few plays, meaning recently signed Patrick Lewis entered at center. Schilling returned but looked hobbled.

Defensive tackle Jordan Hill (sprained ankle) and offensive tackle Andrew McDonald (last man on offensive-line rotation) were the other inactives.

Seahawks followed them, instead of the flight of Jon Ryan’s punt to the suddenly lonely Bailey.

Bailey ran 90 yards for a touchdown that made it 21-3 Rams.

“It’s my fault,” Lockette said.

Head coach Pete Carroll said Lockette got a late break off the line outside because he was checking with the official there to get lined up correctly, then lost track of the ball and the play. The coach believes if his special-teams ace had gotten set as usual he would have detected the trick and tackled Bailey instead of following the pack of Rams.

Faked out

As expected, four starters were out injured Sunday. Then fullback Derrick Coleman broke his foot with what Carroll said was an awkward step on the turf in pregame drills.

That forced backup tailback Robert Turbin into his first fullback duty.

RaShaun Allen was the No. 2 tight end, a day after Seattle signed him off the practice squad and placed rookie defensive end Cassius Marsh

Outside gunner Ricardo Lockette took responsibility for not noticing the trick punt return in the second quarter on which all Rams except Stedman Bailey went to the left. All

St. Louis coach Jeff Fisher installed the fake-punt pass play that sealed his team’s win with 3 minutes left Sunday on Wednesday night, after seeing a weakness to that right side of the Seahawks’ punt-return unit up front.

The fake began at the Rams’ 18.

If it had failed, Seattle likely would have won the game 29-28 with a chip-shot field goal.

“This is the last thing anybody expected,” Fisher said. “That’s why sometimes those things work.”

272. Wilson, who had his thirdlowest-rated passing game last week while losing to Dallas, was 23 of 36 for 313 yards and two touchdowns.

But it was not enough.

The Seahawks’ kickoff-coverage team gave up a 71-yard return to Benny Cunningham that set up St. Louis’ first touchdown. Then in the second quarter the entire punt-coverage unit fell for a Rams fake that maybe should work in middle school, not in the NFL. The Rams have run fakes and gadget-plays in the kicking game for years with coach Jeff Fisher scheming against Seattle, but none this good. St. Louis had dual punt-return men deep. Stedman Bailey was on the right with Tavon Austin even with him deep on the left. Carroll confirmed Seattle’s Jon Ryan punted the ball as the play call specified, toward the right corner of the field near the goal line. As the ball was in flight that way, the Rams had their other nine blockers move over to the opposite, left side away from the ball and toward the idled Austin. The Seahawks aggressively followed those nine blockers that way instead of following their assigned route under the punt’s flight.

That left Bailey alone to catch the ball and run untouched 90 yards for the touchdown. The Rams led 21-3.

“They did a great job. It pushed everybody that way,” Carroll said. “We chased all of their blocks in that direction.

“Great play by them. They played to our discipline.”

Then, one final, crucial special-teams blunder, at the apex of Seattle’s comeback.

The Seahawks rallied with 16 unanswered points into the fourth quarter. One play after a holding penalty on extra tackle

Alvin Bailey wiped out a Lynch touchdown run, Wilson threw under usual pressure to the back shoulder of Cooper Helfet in the end zone. The No. 3 tight end, with starter Zach Miller and fill in Luke Willson out injured, made a remarkable, leaping, twisting catch while getting the toes of each shoe just inside the sideline boundary for the 19-yard score.

Helfet’s first touchdown of his three-year career made it 21-19.

The two-point try to tie the score with 9:51 left went awry when a Rams pass rusher sped past rookie right tackle Justin Britt and forced Wilson to throw early. Jermaine Kearse dived for the lofted ball in the middle of the end zone, but the ball tipped off his hands — and away from teammate Robert Turbin, who was coming from the right behind Kearse for the catch that would have tied the score.

With the game on the line, the Seahawks defense allowed Davis to complete four of five throws for 66 yards. The last one was 4 yards on second and goal to tight end Lance Kendricks, who scored when Wright — who moved to middle linebacker from outside linebacker because starter Bobby Wagner is in a leg cast for turf toe — couldn’t tackle Kendricks following his catch at the 2. That made it 28-19 Rams with 5:36 remaining in the game.

“Just a bad play,” Wright said, barely above a whisper. “Not good enough. I just didn’t make the play.”

Davis, St. Louis’ No. 4 quarterback as of August and a volunteer assistant coach at a Missouri high school this time last year, completed 18 of 21 passes for 152 yards and two touchdowns.

The Seahawks didn’t sack him, continuing their issues of not getting the pass rush home.

Yet Wilson and the Seahawks’

offense kept coming. Wilson hit Lynch and Baldwin on consecutive plays out of the hurry-up offense with 4 minutes left, then found Jermaine Kearse across the middle for a 29-yard catch and run to the Rams 9. Wilson to Baldwin in the slot from there for the touchdown pass with 3:22 left cut the Rams’ lead to 28-26.

The Seahawks’ defense forced a three and out on a pass breakup on third down by Richard Sherman while Seattle used its last two time outs. That set the Rams up to punt from their own 18 with 2:55 left. That’s when Fisher called his second trick play in the kicking game. Instead of punting, Johnny Hekker threw a pass outside to Cunningham for the first down on a fake.

It was a supremely daring call

by Fisher. Had the play failed from there, the Seahawks could have knelt down three times then kicked the short, winning field goal.

DeShawn Shead was late coming over to cover Cunningham in the flat on the fake. Shead said it was a play he and the Seahawks had prepared for. But as Carroll said, “we never thought they’d do it then.”

Even after that, the Seahawks had one more chance when St. Louis’ Tre Mason amazingly fumbled on a hit by Malcolm Smith at the end of a long run to the Seattle 32. The ball bounded 9 yards and rested under Sherman’s legs and, briefly, his torso. Yet the officials ruled St. Louis ultimately recovered. The Seahawks were still steaming afterward that replay officials did not even stop the game to review who recovered the ball under the huge pile.

“I had the ball. I was down,” Sherman said. “I thought they would have blown the whistle, but they stopped the ball and moved it back to the old spot.”

Lockette takes blame

The offense showed encouraging signs of life after Harvin

Getting rid of a player as talented as Percy Harvin is a risky move, and doing so two days before a game, after Harvin had practiced, could be a recipe for a disaster in the short term.

Throw in the other injuries — Seattle started Cooper Helfet at tight end, was again without starting center Max Unger, and Derrick Coleman, the only fullback on the roster, broke his foot in pregame warmups — and this could have been a disastrous game for Seattle’s offense.

And sure enough, the offense struggled in the first half, punting on three of five possessions while settling for field goals on the other two. But after the Seahawks stalled out again on the first possession of the second half, they caught fire and nearly completed a huge comeback by scoring on touchdown drives of 82, 91 and 80 yards on their final three possessions.

Doug Baldwin backed up his talk

The defense has work to do

Penalties are an issue for this team

If you’re going to rip your offense with a lot of colorful language after a loss, you’d better be able to back those words up on the field, and Doug Baldwin did just that against the Rams, catching seven passes for 123 yards and a touchdown a week after saying, “The offense can’t (expletive) move the ball. We’ve got too much (expletive) talent over here not to be moving the ball… Our offense, we’re just too (expletive) good not to be moving the ball down the field.”

Had the Seahawks come back to win Sunday’s game, Baldwin’s 19-yard catch on third-and-17, a play that helped set up an eventually Wilson touchdown run, would have been one of the game’s defining plays.

Richard Sherman was asked last week about Seattle’s defense, which statistically has not played close to as well as last year’s team. He said, “I think it’s been fine. I think we’ve played good football.”

And while there are reasons for Seattle’s defensive numbers being off this season, from good opponents to teams taking a more conservative approach against the defense that led the league in takeaways last season, the defense has not “been fine.”

It’s one thing for a good defense to get beat by Philip Rivers on a brutally hot day, or to let Peyton Manning drive 80-yards for a game-tying score, it’s something else when the Seahawks can’t get a crucial fourth-quarter stop against the Austin Davis-led Rams.

Had the defense been able to get a stop instead of allowing an 8-play, 80-yard touchdown drive, there’s a good chance the Seahawks would have won considering how well the offense was playing in the second half.

Yes , the Seahawks won the Super Bowl last season while being the NFL’s most penalized team, but so far this season, they aren’t good enough to overcome mistakes like they did last year.

There are certainly some questions to be asked about the officiating, from some of the calls against Seattle to the baffling decision to not at least look at the recovery on the Rams’ fumble late in the game.

“We’re playing more than our opponent,” safety Earl Thomas told reporters after the game. “We’re playing the referees too. I don’t care what anyone is saying. Something’s wrong. It needs to be brought up.”

But questionable officiating aside, the Seahawks hurt themselves plenty often.

At some point the Seahawks might be playing well enough to overcome 10 penalties for 89 yards, but not now.

Eagle putt ices title for Martin

early in the second to go two goals up.

However, Dempsey started Seattle on its way back with his 15th goal of the season, and then Lamar Neagle got the equalizer in the 72nd minute.

“I was extremely proud of our team because we took goals at the worst possible time,” coach Sigi Schmid said. “We took a goal right before halftime, we took a goal right after halftime. I think we helped on both of those goals, with just the deflection and a combination of errors on the first. But then I think we showed character.”

Los Angeles (17-6-10) got the first goal in first-half stoppage time when an attempted clearance by Seattle midfielder Brad Evans went to L.A. midfielder Baggio Husidic, who beat Stefan Frei wide from the penalty arc.

The Galaxy’s second goal came on a similar play in the 50th minute, beginning with a failed clearance.

Husidic touched it on to Marcelo Sarvas, who scored over Frei from the top of the box.

Seattle (19-10-4) started its comeback in the 69th minute when DeAndre Yedlin sent a cross into the area, where Obafemi Martins touched it on to Dempsey, who scored from about 8 yards.

“It was a ball played in,” Dempsey said. “Oba had a touch on it, and then (I) just put it on target, put it on frame.”

The equalizer came three minutes later, when Martins rolled a ball into the box to Neagle, who first-touched it past goalkeeper Jamie Penedo from about 10 yards.

In the 88th minute, Los Angeles defender Omar Gonzalez picked up his second yellow card. That forced the Galaxy to play out the game while a man down. It also makes Gonzalez ineligible for the next match.

“After the first 15-20 minutes, I thought we created the better chances from then on throughout the game,” Schmid said. “We were unlucky not to get a goal from Dempsey in the first half. Oba had a couple of good looks. But then I was really proud of the character of our team being able to come back and lock it up at 2-2 and to be knocking at the door to take a win.”

“We don’t give up, we keep fighting, and we do have that quality,” Dempsey said. “…In the second half when we got the goals back, we were the ones that kept pushing to try and get the winner. I feel good about our team’s character and look forward to the next game.”

Associated Press LAS VEGAS — Ben Martin made a 45-foot eagle putt on the 16th hole that sent him to his first PGA Tour victory Sunday in the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open.

Martin was one shot behind Kevin Streelman when his eagle put him back in the lead. He closed with a birdie for a 3-under 68 and a two-shot victory at the TPC Summerlin. The 27-year-old from South Carolina won in his 56th career start.

Moments after Martin made his eagle putt, Streelman missed a 5-foot birdie putt that would have tied him for the lead. Streelman still made five birdies over his last seven holes for a 65.

Martin finished at 20-under 264. The victory sends him back to the Masters. Martin played Augusta National in 2010 as the U.S. Amateur runner-up.

Russell Knox was third at 16 under after a 70.

Webb Simpson, the 2013 winner, was 15 under along with Jimmy Walker and Brooks Koepka. Simpson and Koepka shot 68, and Walker had a 69.

Keselowski keeps title hopes alive at Talladega

By Jenna Fryer Associated Press

TALLADEGA, Ala. — Brad Keselowski refused to be knocked down — not by Matt Kenseth, who jumped him from behind after a disastrous race at Charlotte, and not by garage-wide condemnation over his post-race meltdown.

He kept his head up and arrived at Talladega Superspeedway determined to shake off a bad week that earned him a $50,000 fine from NASCAR and moved him to the edge of elimination in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.

Only a win would keep his title hopes alive.

Only the toughest of drivers could tune out everything that had happened and ignore the weeklong chorus of criticism from his peers.

Keselowski pulled it off Sunday with an improbable victory that moved him into the third round of the Chase. He used a push from Team Penske teammate Joey Logano on a restart

Keselowski, who found comedic relief in his assist from Kenseth.

“It was funny how this racing world works out. I don’t know why it is that way. I don’t know why it seems like every week where there’s either a fight in the garage or a mishap or something like that happens, those two cars and people end up together.”

His professionalism under attack and his season slipping away, Keselowski still managed to focus on the difficult task at hand. He was in a three-way race to Victory Lane with six-time and defending champion Jimmie Johnson and Dale Earnhardt Jr., all three needing to win to stave off elimination.

It was Keselowski who grabbed the checkered flag.

“I’ll take the 50 grand and the win this week, wouldn’t you?” said Keselowski team owner Roger Penske. The owner and driver can just take the fine out of the winner’s check of $288,361.

19th Avenue Dental understands the impact of tooth loss

W

hether you have lost your teeth through dental trauma or are simply losing teeth due to age, tooth loss can have a big impact on the way you feel about yourself and how you interact with others.

At 19th Avenue Dental in Everett, the team led by Dr. Shuichi Yamaguchi understands the impact of tooth loss on your life and would like to help you understand your options for getting your smile back.

For a loss of multiple teeth, dentures are often the best alternative. But it is important to understand that there are multiple kinds of dentures and the type that will work best for you depends on your individual needs and goals.

Yamaguchi believes

well-fabricated dentures should be able to function and be as natural looking as natural teeth. That is his goal for his patients. He offers complete dentures, precision partial dentures, immediate dentures and over-dentures based on his patients’ individual needs.

“Complete dentures are what most people think of when they imagine dentures and they are used to replace all of the teeth in your smile,” Yamaguchi said.

With complete dentures, a gum-colored base fits snugly over the gums. Complete dentures offer a secure fit and can be made to look just like your own teeth.

“Partial dentures, on the other hand, are used when there are still some teeth remaining in your smile,”

Yamaguchi said. “Along with a base, partial dentures often utilize metal framework for support.”

Partials are very useful for keeping natural teeth from moving or shifting when adjacent teeth have been lost. They help to preserve and provide support for the remaining teeth when there are changes in structure.

These days, many patients are interested in immediate dentures. As the name suggests, patients are able to wear immediate dentures the same day that their own teeth are extracted. That means no embarrassment of having to temporarily be without teeth during the healing period following extractions.

“Immediate dentures will need to be adjusted as

your bone and smile heals,” Yamaguchi advised. But for many patients, having a functional set of dentures that can be worn immediately is well worth an adjustment later on.

Over-dentures are a type of denture specifically for made patients who still have strong roots on their teeth or who have dental implants. Over-dentures are supported on metal caps.

They are particularly desirable as they sit firmly in the mouth without the need for dental adhesives and they require less realignment than other types of dentures.

Regardless of the type dentures that his individual patients need, Yamaguchi spends many hours in the lab crafting them. He takes pride in perfecting the bite

and ensuring comfort while creating a natural look that will make his patients look and feel their best.

Patients are compassionately cared for throughout the entire dental process — from initial exam to actual delivery. He also follows up with his patients to make sure the dentures stay functioning well, remain comfortable and stay looking natural.

Yamaguchi also takes pride in his dental office and staff. He has invested in the latest technologies

to ensure patients have the safest and most comfortable experience possible. 19th Avenue Dental features painless anesthesia, CBCT 3-D imaging and more.

Yamaguchi has over 35 years of experience and more than 20 of those years have been in Everett. His office is located across the street from Costco. For more information about how dentures can change your life, go online and visit the 19th Avenue Dental website at http://www.19thavedental. com/ or call 425-385-8130.
