SEATTLE — Sanctions against the state’s health services agency for failing to provide competency evaluation and treatment to mentally ill defendants have reached almost $200,000, according to recently released documents.

So far this year, judges in King and Pierce counties have held the Department of Social and Health Services in contempt in 24 cases and ordered sanctions of $200 or $500 for each day a mentally ill defendant sits in jail instead of being transported to a state psychiatric hospital, the documents show.

Jane Beyer, assistant secretary for the Behavioral Health and Service Integration Administration, said her agency is slammed and the sanctions only make things worse.

Former D.C. ‘Mayor for Life’ Marion Barry dies at 78

By Bart Barnes The Washington Post

Marion Barry Jr., the Mississippi sharecropper’s son and civil rights activist who served three terms as mayor of the District of Columbia, survived a drug arrest and jail sentence, and then came back to win a fourth term as the city’s chief executive, died around midnight Saturday at United Medical Center in Washington. He was 78.

Hospital spokeswoman Natalie Williams said Barry arrived at the hospital around 12:30 a.m. and died at 1:46 a.m. He had been released from Howard University Hospital on Saturday following a brief stay. His

death was announced by his family in a statement released through a spokeswoman for Barry. No cause was given, but he had suffered from many health problems over the years, including diabetes, prostate cancer and kidney ailments.

Barry, who also served on the D.C. Council for 15 years and had been president of the city’s old Board of Education, was the most influential and savvy local politician of his generation. He dominated the city’s political landscape in the final quarter of the 20th century. There was a time when his critics, in sarcasm but not entirely in jest, called him “Mayor for Life.” His personal and

public life was fraught with high drama and irony. He struggled with alcohol and drug addiction, relapse and recovery. He was married

four times, divorced three times and separated from his fourth wife. His extramarital liaisons and legal trouble over unpaid taxes

made news.

He came to Washington as a champion of the downtrodden and the dispossessed and rose to the pinnacle of power and prestige. As mayor of the District, Barry became a national symbol of self-governance and home rule for urban blacks.

His programs helped provide summer jobs for youths, home-buying assistance for the working-class and food for senior citizens.

And he placed African Americans in thousands of middle- and upper-level management positions in the city government that in previous generations had been reserved for whites.

In 1990, Barry was

arrested on drug charges in a sting by the FBI and D.C. police after having been lured to a Washington hotel room by a woman with whom he’d previously had an amorous relationship.

His conviction months later would become front-page news around the world.

He completed a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program and served six months in a federal prison, then used the experience to his political advantage as a platform in his improbable comeback bid for elected office.

“Who can better help our city recover than someone who himself has gone through recovery?” he asked rhetorically.

the jaw. He is recovering at home.

The fence became a giant and colorful collage of photographs and posters expressing sympathy and personal thoughts.

With its flowers, balloons and red and white ribbons, it served as an outlet for grief, a place for mourners to gather or reflect alone.

Students and staff who choose to participate will begin removing items some time after 10 a.m.

They were informed of

the plan Friday afternoon.

Families of the dead and injured students also were told about the plans late last week so they could visit the site over the weekend.

“The memorial fence was put up to support us and our families,” Marysville Pilchuck High School Assistant Principal Lori Stolee said. “Now we need to honor and respect those we have lost. A part of healing for our school community and for our surrounding community is we need to take down the wall.”

Mary Schoenfeldt has

provided advice to the school district about the sensitive act of clearing the site. She works in emergency management for the city of Everett, but she’s also been involved in school crisis response since the 1990s. Her expertise has taken her to more than two dozen schools facing ordeals, including suicides, natural disasters and school shootings, including Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado, and Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.

Schoenfeldt recognizes that removing the temporary tributes can be emotional. She has seen them taken down too early or in the dark of night, prompting a backlash.

It is important for students to have the chance to be involved, but it’s also important for people to realize that the fence is not intended to be a permanent memorial, she said.

Creating that will come later.

“This is not a memorial at all, not in the traditional sense,” Schoenfeldt said.

The materials on the fence “are expressions of sympathy and they become this remembrance, but it is very much a temporary piece.”

In the weeks and months ahead, the district will be looking for community feedback about ideas for a permanent memorial.

Schoenfeldt compared the tributes along the fence to a sympathy card and a memorial to a headstone.

“The headstone is the permanent piece,” she said. “It’s time to get it off the mantel, but we don’t need to see the card every

time we walk into the living room. Removing the visual reminder doesn’t remove the memory of who was lost.”

Some students on buses find it difficult to pass the fence each day. “It is making it harder for them to move forward from that emotional perspective,” Schoenfeldt said.

Flowers taken from the fence will be composted. The paper items will be burned and the ashes saved. School officials are deciding exactly what to do with them. Other communities that have endured similar tragedies have used the compost for plantings to remember their loved ones. Cleanup began Saturday at Comeford Park, where a display in support of Marysville Pilchuck was being removed in preparation for the holiday decorations.

School officials plan to have extra counselors available Monday. They know that cleaning up the fence might be emotional.

Schoenfeldt said it might be a good day for parents to check up on their children, to give them the opportunity to talk about their feelings.

People also can call Victim Support Services at 425-252-6081 or the Disaster Distress Helpline at 800-985-5990.

Father gets 12 years for death of infant

SUPER KID MELISSA SLAGER STREET SMARTS

Quarter of a century later, still on the road

The prosecutor said the man, who may appeal the ruling, showed no remorse.

T

his little stretch of newsprint has reached a milestone. The first Street Smarts column appeared 25 years ago, on Nov. 20, 1989, a Monday that year, too.

The esteemed Bob Wodnik was in the driver’s seat that day — and for the next 10 years — and drafted a road map we still try to follow (and yet we somehow get lost anyway).

“If you live in Snohomish County, you’re learning to live with traffic,” Wodnik wrote in the first column’s first line. Marysville was starting to blow up. Getting from Edmonds to the Seattle waterfront was a headache.

The mission of Street Smarts, he wrote, would be to “explore the issues that matter as you fight the ride around Puget Sound.”

That mission continues.

But before I get a bit doe-eyed in the headlights, let’s flash back to 1989.

By Diana Hefley Herald Writer

Seems like... well, 25 years ago Also in the paper the day of the first Street Smarts column: ■ A front-page story detailed the pending vote by Boeing machinists (which would go on to end a 48-day strike).

■ The Legislature argued about whether to hold a special December session to pass a transportation package.

■ Further afield, eastern European clashes continued in the wake of the Berlin Wall coming down; there was a follow-up story on the Bay Area earthquake; and a brief item noted Prince Charles’ and Princess Diana’s complaints of paparazzi photos of their young sons.

■ An Everett City Council notice displayed the city logo at the time: a lower-case “e” topped by a lower-case “everett,” all inside a rectangle with rounded corners.

■ In features, “The Little Mermaid” was advertised in theaters; Judyrae Kruse had a recipe for mincemeat fruitcake; and there was a crossword but no Sudoku (talk about surviving the ’80s!).

■ In that previous Sunday’s seemingly endless pages of classified ads (sigh), there was a dealer ad for a 1989 Ford Escort wagon for $8,399, a substantial “Singles” section, a new home in Snohomish (three bed, two bath, 1,660 square feet on 1.14 acres) for $142,500 (it’s now Lake Stevens, and the property last sold in 2004 for $289,950); Boeing stock closed the previous week at $58, Microsoft at $86.88 and Costco at $33.38.

■ In sports, the Seahawks general manager denied rumors that Chuck Knox was going to be replaced as coach at the end of the season. The team’s record at that point was 4-7. The Sonics were 5-5.

■ In the business section, there was a story about Boeing’s illegal trafficking in Pentagon secrets,

EVERETT — Brian Perez Reyes failed as a father.

He should have kept his infant son safe, but instead Perez Reyes violently shook the boy, causing nerve damage that led to fatal brain damage, a judge said Thursday.

“Only you, no one else, could have done that,” Snohomish County Superior Court Judge Michael Downes said.

Daniel Levi Perez Reyes died June 29, 2013. He was brain dead when he was brought into an emergency room the day before.

He had been left alone with his father while his mother was at work. Perez Reyes told detectives the boy fell out of his arms when he tripped.

The child didn’t die from falling three or four feet, Downes said.

“That did not happen,” he said.

Perez Reyes was sentenced Thursday to 12 years in prison.

He faced up to 8.5 years under the standard range. But Downes had ruled that Daniel’s age made him a particularly vulnerable victim. That opened the door for a much lengthier prison sentence.

“It’s hard to imagine a more vulnerable victim than a 2-month-old child in the arms of a parent,” Downes said.

Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Jarett Goodkin recommended a 14-year sentence, saying that the defendant hasn’t shown any remorse. He withheld information about his son’s injuries as doctors tried to save the boy’s life, Goodkin said.

“We won’t know what Daniel Perez Reyes could have been, what his life could have been because his father took it from him,” the deputy prosecutor said.

Perez Reyes, 24, declined to make any comments Thursday.

His lawyer told the judge that Perez Reyes was nervous and was maintaining his right to appeal.

Perez Reyes was convicted of first-degree manslaughter at a bench trial last month.

Daniel’s mother told the judge Thursday that she has known Perez Reyes for four years and he never showed signs of violence.

“It doesn’t make sense to me,” she said.

Downes concluded at the bench trial that evidence showed that Perez Reyes was told multiple times that he was too rough with the child.

Several people, mainly relatives, wrote letters on behalf of Perez Reyes, saying he was a good dad. He has another child with a different woman.

The judge Thursday said he meant no disrespect to the letter writers but questioned their measure of a good father. A good father protects his children, Downes said.

“You were obligated to care for him, safely and lovingly and you failed,” the judge said.

gling families. The organization provides housing and related support, such as life-skills training, child care, case management and employment counseling.

Housing Hope also offers affordable apartments and homeownership opportunities for low-income people in Snohomish County and Camano Island.

notes on Fluke’s efforts to rein in “out-of-controlmedical-costs” and a choice ad for a Commodore Amiga 500 family computer for “only $999.”

Though it wasn’t in that day’s paper, the major state transportation project of 1989 was completion of the I-90 Homer M. Hadley Bridge, which added a second bridge across Lake Washington to handle increasing traffic.

At the pump, the average price for a gallon of gas in 1989 was $1.06.

(The U.S. Energy Information Administration expects the nation to finish 2014 at a $3.45 average.)

And traffic? It was bad for its time, though by today’s standards I am wondering which is worse: 2014 traffic or 1989 fashion.

The first Street Smarts column ended with a notice about upcoming lane closures on I-5 for paving that would be in the middle of a weekday (I’m sorry, what?).

There also was a quick front-page story about 60 people blocking I-5 southbound in downtown Seattle to protest U.S. policy in El Salvador.

The protest started at 8:30 a.m., “during the morning rush hour” — not a syllable, however, about the backup.

So, yes, traffic is worse.

In fact, annual average daily traffic volumes through Everett have gone up by more than 55 percent since 1989.

That’s according to data from the state’s annual traffic reports from 1989 and 2013, the latest year available.

‘Still around’ Street Smarts has changed, too.

For many years, it was a Q-and-A column to accompany a “Road Work Ahead” map. In 2005, Lukas Velush took on the column. In 2008, Jeff Switzer briefly held the post. There was a hiatus,

I’ve worked with each of those Street Smarts reporters except Wodnik, though his name is a respected one that’s still thrown around the newsroom.

Wodnik’s last Street Smarts column was July 19, 1999. He went on to Sound Transit, where he still works 15 years later.

“Actually, I remember it fondly,” he said, when I called him the other day.

“It was a lot of fun. I tried to make it fun, and got into some issues.”

His daughter was 9 years old when he left the column and the paper, old enough to be a backseat driver, much like my 7-year-old.

Kids grow up, but roads apparently don’t.

“I think that, by any way you measure it, things are worse, in terms of the car commute,” Wodnik said when asked about his impressions on then and now.

“One of the big differences is now there are options,” he said, noting that his current employer wasn’t around 25 years ago. He uses the Sounder train to commute from Everett to Seattle, enjoying the time to sit and take in the views. “My commute is a lot longer, but my commute is really nice. ... But if you’re out there in a car, good luck.”

Wodnik chooses to be optimistic about our transportation future. On the Sound Transit side, there will be 30 miles of light rail extension under construction next year.

The times have changed.

“But, look, Street Smarts is still around.

People’s interest in traffic and driving and commuting is still clearly an issue,” Wodnik said.

“People are still reading.”

Kerry to Iran: Extend nuclear talks Negotiations center on reducing Tehran’s nuclear abilities while still allowing some atomic activity.

Associated Press

Mo.: No word from Ferguson grand jury yet

EBRAHIM NOROOZI / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Iranian students hold placards to show their support for Iran’s nuclear program in a gathering in front of the headquarters of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization in Tehran, Iran, on Sunday. With a deadline approaching for a nuclear deal, an Iranian official said that the discussion may soon have to shift from trying to reach an agreement to extending negotiations past the target date.

I think Iran would love to see the sanctions end immediately....

— President Barack Obama RONALD ZAK / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Beyond assurances that the Iranians aren’t just talking for the sake of winning time, the U.S. administration wants to show to congressional skeptics that there is sense to continuing the talks. That means Washington might push the Iranians to accept at least one of their demands on the table.

Should such a plan be agreed upon, talks could resume in early December when Kerry plans to return to Europe for a previously scheduled NATO foreign ministers meeting in Brussels, and an international conference in London.

Outlining some differences between Washington and Tehran in general terms, President Barack Obama said

By Batsheva Sobelman and Laura King Los Angeles Times

JERUSALEM — Israel’s Cabinet on Sunday approved legislation defining Israel as the national homeland of the Jewish people — a measure critics decried as racist and a threat to democracy.

At the same time, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the drafting of legislation that would allow the revocation of Jerusalem residency for Palestinians who

carry out terrorist attacks, and that of their families as well.

Taken together, the actions are likely to increase tensions between Israel and its Arab citizens — who make up about 20 percent of the population — and also between Israeli authorities and the 300,000 Palestinians who live in parts of east Jerusalem that have been in effect annexed

by Israel. Most of them have residency rights but not citizenship.

Israel has been on edge since attacks by Palestinians that have killed 11 people since Oct. 22, including five who were slain last week at a Jerusalem synagogue.

The “homeland” measure, if finalized by the Knesset, or parliament, would become

Journalists wait in front of Palais Coburg on Sunday as closed-door nuclear talks with Iran are taking place in Vienna, Austria.

the U.S. goal is “to shut off a whole bunch of different avenues whereby Iran might get a nuclear weapon, and at the same time make sure that the structure of sanctions are rolled back step for step as Iran is doing what it’s supposed to do.”

“I think Iran would love to see the sanctions end immediately, and then to still have some avenues that might not be completely closed, and we can’t do that,” he told ABC’s “This Week” in comments aired Sunday As the clock ticked down, other foreign ministers from the six negotiating powers were converging on Vienna

in a concerted effort to at least get an acceptable way to extend the talks even if the deal deadline is missed.

The foreign minister of Germany, Russia and France were already in Vienna by late Sunday. Britain’s foreign secretary was en route and China’s foreign minister was scheduled to arrive Monday.

Kerry, who arrived Thursday, also met with Saudi Foreign Minister Saud alFaisal, whose country is vying for Middle East influence with Iran. Diplomats said Saud flew to Vienna from Paris solely for the briefing, and the two talked in his plane parked on the Vienna Airport tarmac.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu listens during his Cabinet meeting in his office in Jerusalem on Sunday.

part of Israel’s “basic law,” legislation anchoring key principles and forming a de facto constitution. Over the past several years, lawmakers have considered several versions of

the bill, some more stringent than others, but all drawing fierce objections from liberal politicians, legal experts, Arab citizens and Palestinians.

Since taking office in 2009, Netanyahu has demanded that Palestinians recognize Israel as the nation-state of the Jews as part of any permanent peace agreement. Sunday’s Cabinet vote approved elements of two separate versions drafted by coalition lawmakers and supported by the prime minister.

One version of the bill proposes that Hebrew will be Israel’s only official language, and grants Arabic an unspecified “special status” instead.

Arabic has been an official language alongside Hebrew since the days of the British Mandate over Palestine.

Mexico summons Uruguay’s ambassador Associated Press MEXICO CITY — Mexico has summoned Uruguay’s ambassador for talks after the South American country’s president described Mexico as a kind of “failed state” in a magazine interview.

Mexico’s foreign ministry released a statement Sunday expressing its “surprise and categorical rejection” of the statements by President Jose

Mujica which appeared in Foreign Affairs’ Latin American edition.

Despite preparations for a weekend decision in the Ferguson shooting case, the grand jurors apparently need more time to deliberate, and the uncertainty just seemed to feed the anxiety and speculation Sunday in a city already on edge. More than 3 months have passed since police Officer Darren Wilson, who is white, killed unarmed black 18-yearold Michael Brown after a confrontation in the middle of a street in the St. Louis suburb. The shooting triggered riots and looting, and police responded with armored vehicles and tear gas.

Navy warship captain is relieved of duty SAN DIEGO — Capt. Wayne Brown was relieved as commander of the San Diego-based amphibious assault ship Boxer after an investigation concluded that he had “lost the respect, trust and confidence of his subordinates” because of his temper and his behavior toward female crew members, according to the investigative report. His behavior included touching and asking crew members whether they were using birth control with their husbands or boyfriends.

By George Jahn and Matthew Lee VIENNA— The U.S. told Iran Sunday that it’s time to consider extending nuclear talks, in the first formal recognition

by Washington that frenzied last-minute diplomacy may not be enough to seal a deal by a rapidly approaching deadline.

A senior U.S. official said that with the approach of the Monday evening cutoff date, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry proposed to Iranian Foreign Minister Mohamad Java Zarf that the two sides start discussing post-deadline talks in their latest meeting since Kerry arrived three days ago to add his diplomatic weight to the talks.

At the same time, two Western diplomats said, negotiations were continuing with Iran on trying to bridge differences on reducing Tehran’s ability to make nuclear weapons to levels acceptable to Washington while giving the Islamic republic the relief it seeks from international sanctions over its atomic activities.

All three officials demanded anonymity because they weren’t authorized to discuss the diplomatic twists and turns of talks that have been under a blanket of confidentiality since the sides started negotiating a comprehensive nuclear deal eight months ago.

The U.S. official said a number of options were under discussion.

“An extension is one of those options,” the official said. “It should come as no surprise that we will also engage in a discussion of the options with the Iranians at some point as well.”

Foreshadowing the developments, German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier told German television: “If there isn’t quite a conclusion, we will have to search for possibilities to ensure that nothing breaks off here and the process can be continued.”

But reaching an agreement that allows for more negotiations could be difficult.

ACROSS THE U.S.

Mujica made the statements when questioned about 43 college students missing in southern Mexico, a case that has sparked widespread protests.

“It gives one the sense, seen from a distance, that this is a kind of failed state, in which public authorities have completely lost control,” Mujica said.

Besides summoning Uruguay’s ambassador, Mexico’s

foreign ministry said it was committed to continuing its investigation into the disappearances with clarity and transparency, “as it has been doing up till now.”

The students disappeared Sept. 26 in Iguala, Guerrero state.

Prosecutors say local police working for a drug gang probably turned the students over to gang members, who may have killed them.

Residents of flood-prone areas around Buffalo should move valuables up from the basement, pack a bag and prepare for the possibility of evacuation as up to 7 feet of melting snow posed the threat of flooding, Gov. Andrew Cuomo warned Sunday. “Err on the side of caution,” Cuomo said at a news conference in Cheektowaga. “You prepare for the worst and hope for the best, and that’s what we’re doing.”

Ill.: Church members each get $500 to do good On a very memorable Sunday, Pastor Laura Truax surprised her congregation with a bold announcement: She was about to hand out money to everyone.

LaSalle Street Church had received a tidy $1.6 million from a real estate deal, the pastor said, and $160,000 — a typical 10 percent tithe — would be divided among some 320 regular attendees.

Each would get a $500 check to do something positive.

D.C.: Senator rejects GOP Benghazi report A top Republican took aim at his GOP colleagues on Sunday for issuing a report that largely absolved the Obama administration for its handling of the 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, dismissing the accounting by the GOP-led House Intelligence Committee as “full of crap.”

Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina said that in compiling its report the committee accepted a “complete bunch of garbage.”

AROUND THE WORLD

Crew blasts off for Space Station BAIKONUR, Kazakhstan — A Russian capsule carrying three astronauts from Russia, the United States and Italy has blasted off for the International Space Station. The Soyuz capsule roared into the pre-dawn darkness just after 3 a.m. Monday from the Russian manned space facility in Baikonur, Kazakhstan. The craft will dock with the space station about six hours after launch, where they will join three others already aboard.

Demand for business loans rebounds

Confidence in local economy spurs increased investments in property and equipment

By Jim Davis Herald Business Journal

EVERETT — Joe Smeby thought about purchasing a building for his firm Omega Engineering a few years ago.

And then the recession hit.

“Before things turned sour, I definitely wanted to get into my own space,” Smeby said. “At the time, things just didn’t work out — fortunately.”

Fast forward just a few years and things couldn’t be more different. His three-person firm that does site development for builders has been so swamped that he’s turning down clients.

“We’re very busy,” Smeby said.

“We’re as busy as we can be right now, we’re saying no to almost as many projects as we’re saying yes to. It’s a good problem to have.”

So he decided to buy a building at 2707 Wetmore Ave., close enough to walk to the Snohomish County offices where he does the bulk of his work.

Bankers say that more and more businesses are feeling comfortable enough post-recession to take out loans to purchase property and invest in equipment.

Commercial loan volume is up this year over 2013 with several bankers saying that they’re seeing a double digit increases.

And things look especially rosy in Snohomish County.

“I would say nationally the economy is getting better but locally I think our economy is stronger,” said Mark Duffy, CEO of Mountain Pacific Bank, which worked with Smeby to help him secure a Small Business Administration loan.

His bank has made $28 million in commercial loans so far this year, Duffy said. That’s up from $24 million the year before or a 16 percent increase year over year.

Coastal Community CEO Eric Sprink said his bank is seeing a 20 percent increase in loan demand year over year. He also believes that the county is in a good

Omega Engineering owner Joe Smeby put off investing in his own building during the recession. But this year, he decided to take out a loan and make the purchase.

I think we should all be very grateful that we’re part of such a diverse economy that’s really kicking into gear right now.

position.

“I think we should all be very grateful that we’re part of such a diverse economy that’s really kicking into gear right now,” Sprink said. “We’re in the sweet spot. We have the Navy. We have Boeing. We have Microsoft and Amazon not too far away.”

Brian Vance, CEO of Heritage Bank, which merged with Whidbey Island Bank, has a good view of the region.

His bank has more than 70 branches, mainly along the I-5

corridor from Bellingham to Portland. He said one of the hottest markets on West Coast is Seattle and that is rippling both to the north and south.

Snohomish County also is especially attractive, because it has available real estate with existing infrastructure already in place, Vance said.

Bryan McDonald, chief lending officer for Heritage, said the bank is seeing an increase in the number of commercial loans and an increase in the total amount

being borrowed.

And he said that they’ve held discussions with several businesses looking to potentially move to the area.

“It’s not every week, but every other week there’s another company considering Snohomish County and we get to visit with those folks,” McDonald said. “It might be a year or two years off, but just the number of people looking at Snohomish County continues to be strong.”

One of the reasons for confidence in the local economy has to do with what happened a year ago: Members of the Machinists union at Boeing voted to accept wage and retirement concessions for a long-term contract that will guarantee construction of a new long-range wide-body aircraft in Everett.

The outlook for the region totally changed with that vote, Duffy said.

“If that vote went the other way, I would have had discussions with the board to position ourselves to sell in the future,” Duffy said.

Even though Boeing has moved some jobs away from the Puget Sound region, the vote helped tie Boeing to this area for years to come, Duffy said.

“I think they are shifting jobs elsewhere but they’re making a big commitment here and will be here for a long time,” Duffy said.

The agreement provided the type of stability to the region that gives business owners the confidence to invest in their companies, Sprink said.

“That stability and confidence is wonderful,” Sprink said. “If it wasn’t there, people would have waited a while to see how things settle.”

The positive vibe should continue into the future barring any unforeseen global calamity. One known concern on the horizon is the potential for interest rates to rise.

“We’re watching that very closely,” Sprink said. “How is it going to affect the consumer? How’s it going to affect businesses?”

Even so, it’s something the economy could probably handle, Heritage’s Vance said.

“Interest rates are still at historical lows,” Vance said. “Assuming that interest rates rise, business can deal with that and factor that into their planning.”

And that’s still on the horizon and isn’t affecting business owners like Smeby who are borrowing now.

He was under a tight deadline for the purchase of his building and Mountain Pacific helped him with a bridge loan to close the deal.

And the bank then restructured the loan with a Small Business Administration loan afterward.

“They stepped up and made it really easy to make this deal happen,” Smeby said.

More businesses are paying bills online

By Jim Davis Herald Business Journal

More and more businesses have switched from paper checks to doing payroll and paying vendors electronically.

But a good number of businesses continue to use paper and ink.

“Writing checks is just one of the most inefficient ways of doing business,” said Sean Devine, a KeyBank senior vice president.

“In many cases, it’s a format that’s quickly becoming obsolete.”

The number of companies in Snohomish County that have switched to e-payments have jumped in the past few years, said Devine, who works in Seattle, but lives in Lake Stevens.

Three years ago, only 40 percent of KeyBank customers in the county that do between $2 million to $20 million worth of business did their banking electronically.

That jumped up to 68.5 percent this year, Devine said.

It still means that more than 31 percent of businesses who use KeyBank still write checks.

Devine is part of a team with KeyBank charged with helping businesses move from paper checks to doing business electronically.

He said that his bank will work in any format that the customers

wants. And he’s seen businesses that necessarily do business with paper checks. One is a recycling center that writes checks when people walk through the door and deliver recyclables.

Some business owners are just hesitant to adapt to the changing financial environment.

People United Way of Snohomish County has announced a new hire and several promotions. Betty Welsh was hired as a labor-donor relations and community liaison manager.

Four people were promoted: Jessica Gaitan to community engagement coordinator; Amy

The benefit of changing is that paper checks can take a lot of staff time. Without that task, those employees can do other jobs for their company.

this be can be a daunting task, Devine said.

“It has a tendency of becoming a back burner idea, something that’s nice to do someday,” Devine said.

Most banks can help businesses navigate the process.

Some business owners don’t trust moving money around electronically.

Online fraud can also be a concern. But Devine said that people can commit fraud as easily, if not more so, with paper checks.

“Routing number, account name, company name and address — that’s all a fraudster needs to go out and print fake checks in your company’s name,” he said.

A new service that KeyBank started offering this year — and other banks offer as well — is payment cards, or what’s called p-cards.

The cards can pay for services or goods with money coming directly from a business bank account. So a card could be used to pay for gas at the pump, office supplies or any other need.

Devine said that many businesses have embraced this new service. So far, 12 percent of the businesses in the $2 million to $20 million range have signed up.

“We’re seeing it well beyond just travel and entertainment,” Devine said.

IN OUR VIEW | Women and the workplace

‘Freezing eggs’ is not a perk It’s not surprising that male-dominated, tech-happy businesses such as Apple and Facebook have recently announced that as a benefit, they will pay for their female employees to freeze their eggs, so they can (in theory) give birth later. Almost all news articles describe this new “perk” in an unfailingly positive way, unless they are in a science or medical journal or blog.

A recent Wired article, for example, allows that some view egg-freezing as “sending the wrong message to women,” but dismisses it with this logic: “But ultimately, it’s a good thing — another option for women struggling to deal with the reality that their ideal childbearing years can conflict with crucial career-building years. It’s also a way for technology firms to support female employees, something that’s especially welcome given Silicon Valley’s

infamously male-dominated workforce.”

Offering to freeze a woman’s eggs is not “supporting women” or ultimately a good thing, unless the women are in a group that needs such technology for medical reasons, such as undergoing cancer treatment or in vitro fertilization.

With technology, one would think, it would be easier than ever to dispel the notion that if one’s childbearing years “conflict” with “crucial career-building years” that it makes more sense to put the childbearing on the back burner than the career. (Especially with the specter of working into your 70s in order to retire. Take the long view.)

Technology does not trump nature. Articles that tout, “For women in tech, egg freezing parties are new post-work event,” make it sound like fun.

It is not.

Here are some of the things they don’t go into at egg-freezing parties: Freezing eggs is not a guarantee of pregnancy, especially as women age, and carries physical and emotional risks and complications.

The American Society for Reproductive Medicine does not recommend egg freezing for the sole purpose of delaying childbearing, LiveScience. com reports. ”Marketing this technology for the purpose of deferring childbearing may give women false hope and encourage women to delay childbearing,” an ASRM report states.

And it’s not easy or fast.

Removing and freezing eggs takes about two weeks and includes, if all goes well, the woman giving herself follicle-stimulating hormone injections every day for seven to 10 days, and seeing her

doctor every few days, The National Center for Health Research reports. Eggs are removed using a needle, with the help of anesthesia to avoid pain. Each step presents physical risks. But the National Center for Health Research agrees that “The most important risk to be aware of is false hope.” Because freezing eggs is not a guarantee of pregnancy. Can you imaging putting off pregnancy only to discover years that your frozen eggs won’t work for whatever reason? Will female employees need to sign a waiver not to sue if they accept their employer’s gift of freezing their eggs?

Freezing eggs is not the answer to “conflicts” between career and having babies.

Offering on-site day care, paid maternity leave and guaranteeing a job upon return would be real support for parents of both sexes, at tech companies and otherwise.

fail by not buying their vehicles.

Since then, their stock has gone up, and people are buying their cars in record numbers. Go figure!

Two articles that ran in October related to GM’s ongoing misdeeds. One article reported that GM has received 184 death claims and 1,333 injury claims from crashes caused by faulty ignition switches. Of course their lawyers are trying to reduce those numbers drastically.

Another article stated: United Nations human rights experts have called on officials in Detroit (home of GM) to restore water to 27,000 homes of those unable to pay their bills. Again,

another catastrophe caused by moving their plants elsewhere, eliminating thousands of good paying jobs, with excellent benefits. The cities of Detroit and Flint, Michigan, are totally ruined; foreclosed houses sit rotting, and people have no decent jobs.

The Michael Moore movie “Roger and Me” tells the whole sordid story about CEO Roger Smith’s decision to move GM, while telling the people all will be well. (For him and his cohorts.)

Let them fail, don’t buy GM!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■JOSEPH STRANGE

Why was felon out of prison?

As reported, a jury found Joseph Strange guilty of second-degree murder for causing the car crash that killed Rachael Kamin. Strange stole a truck, rammed other cars, and drove 90 mph before smashing into Mrs. Kamin — this only seven months after being released from prison where he was serving time for vehicle theft. He had more than a dozen prior felony convictions. The obvious question that begs an answer is who were the incompetents (I’m sorely tempted to say “idiots”) in the state’s justice system who decided that a person with a record like Strange’s should be discharged from prison, and be placed under the supervision of the Department of Corrections?

Why was a habitual offender with over a dozen felony convictions not still in prison!

What ever happened to the Three Strikes Law? His lawyers claimed that the police bear partial responsibility because they forced the issue by giving pursuit. This is a prime example of why people lose trust, faith, and respect for the justice system. You have to wonder when the state will turn the next Joseph Strange loose to prey on the population, and what degree of “supervising”

GUEST COMMENTARY | Responding to those in need

Why I choose to give to those on the street

By Teri McAllister

E

very day that I drive through downtown Everett I see a homeless person sitting on the corner holding up a sign asking for help, and it’s unsettling to me.

I hate the fact that I live in the wealthiest developed nation and we have homeless people. This should not be! No matter what circumstances put them in that situation, whether it was the cause of personal choices, mental issues or failed attempts in our Western society, we can do better for them and for our streets.

As I was driving through Everett recently, I decided that today was my day to give to them (as I am not always able to give); so, after dropping my daughter off at day care I drove back to the grocery store they were next to, walked into

the Starbucks there, ordered two coffees and two sandwiches, and brought them to the two homeless people sitting on the corner. As I approached them they looked up at me and we returned smiles. I greeted them and expressed to them that I saw them there and thought they could use some coffee and sandwiches. The pair thanked me as they expressed they were trying to stay warm. I told them to have a blessed day, and they said the same to me.

I wanted to know their stories, but I could feel myself losing my composure, and I did not want to cry in front of them; therefore, I continued the walk to my car.

As I began to get into my car, a man driving by stopped and said to me that I shouldn’t have given to people like that; he went on to say that they are scammers. He said that

the lady in the wheel chair didn’t actually need the wheel chair because he saw her just last week running across the streets of Everett. I thanked him for his concern, but I also pointed out that maybe those two are out there because they have mental issues. He still insisted they were scammers and drove away.

What I have to say about all this is maybe the lady didn’t need the chair, and maybe those two were scammers, but does it really matter? Maybe she was just using the chair for a comfortable place to sit down. Maybe the two of them were out there due to their own misgivings. Maybe they really weren’t homeless and were just scam artists, but nobody really knows for sure. The thing is, they are out there for a reason, with which no functioning person in our society would subject

themselves to such a situation.

If they are being dishonest, then they have themselves to answer to, and God (if they are believers). Who are we to judge what we do not know?

Is it so wrong to deliver a random act of kindness to a stranger here and there?

After all, each party involved receives something good out of the act. The person giving can feel good about helping someone claiming to be less fortunate, and the person(s) on the receiving end can see some good in the world through your generosity. It’s a win-win.

So the next time you see a homeless person and you have the means to help, please don’t judge them for what you do not know; instead, stop and give once in a while, and you’ll both be gifted with a smile.

Teri McAllister lives in Lake Stevens.

More reporters missing on the campaign trail

O

n a warm October night toward the end of the 2014 campaign, almost every politician running for a major office in the swing state of Colorado appeared at a candidate forum in southeast Denver. The topics discussed were pressing: a potential war with ISIS, voting rights, a still-struggling economy. But one key element was in conspicuously short supply: the media.

This was increasingly the reality in much of the country, as campaigns played out in communities where the local press corps has been thinned by DAVID SIROTA layoffs and newspaper closures. What if you held an election and nobody showed up to cover it? Americans have now discovered the answer: You get an election with lots of paid ads, but with little journalism, context or objective facts.

Between 2003 and 2012, the newspaper workforce decreased by 30 percent nationally, according to the American Society of Newspaper Editors. That has included a major reduction in the number of newspaper reporters assigned to cover state and local politics. Newspaper layoffs have ripple effects for the entire local news ecosystem, because, as the Congressional Research Service noted, television, radio and online outlets often “piggyback on reporting done by much larger newspaper staffs.” Meanwhile, recent studies from the University of Chicago and the Federal Reserve Bank suggest the closure of newspapers can ultimately depress voter turnout in local elections.

Colorado is a microcosm of the hollowing out of local media. In 2009, the state lost its second-largest newspaper with the shuttering of the 150-year-old Rocky Mountain News. The state’s only remaining major daily, the Denver Post, has had rolling layoffs.

According to Denver Post editor Greg Moore, in the 2014 election cycle the paper had only seven reporters covering elections throughout the state — a 50 percent reduction in the last 5 years. Challengers in districts that the Post decided not to cover say the media’s decisions about resources may help determine election outcomes.

“It creates a self-fulfilling prophecy.

When the local press assumes a race can’t be close, then they don’t cover it, and then that suggests to voters a candidate isn’t credible,” said Martin Walsh, the Republican congressional candidate who unsuccessfully challenged Denver’s Democratic representative, Diana DeGette.

“Ultimately, that guarantees that the race won’t be close.”

Even stories that do get published may have less of an impact without other journalists around to track reaction or do follow-up stories.

“With so many newspapers and news outlets in general having fewer resources, there’s no pressure or incentive for candidates to engage with the press, and there’s no echo chamber that makes candidates feel like they have to respond to anything,” Fox 31 reporter Eli Stokols said. He noted that Republican U.S. Senator-elect Cory Gardner, for example, rarely appeared in unscripted settings with journalists, preferring instead to simply blanket the airwaves with ads.

Andrew Romanoff, the Democratic candidate in Colorado’s closely contested 6th district, said that what little campaign coverage there is often ends up being about the candidates’ ads, because that requires minimal time, travel and expense to cover.

“It’s not quite a ‘Seinfeld’ episode,” he said. “It’s not a show about nothing, but the coverage has become a show about a show.”

The trouble, of course, is that the show should be about important issues like economic policy, climate change and national security (to name a few). And with a more vibrant local media doing more than just regurgitating poll numbers and reviewing ads, it can be. But that vibrancy requires two things: a genuine commitment and willingness to do the hard work of serious journalism and enough resources to succeed.

Both of those factors are in short supply.

That means the most basic ingredients of a functioning democracy will probably remain in short supply, too.

she’s kind of alive,” said Cmdr. Elaine Brunelle, the ship’s executive officer.

Brunelle is also acting captain while Cmdr. Daniel Straub is on leave.

The crew still keeps Navy routine, as when a sailor arrives at her stateroom to deliver the noon reports.

She approves them and the sailor salutes and departs.

Shortly afterward, the eight noon bells chime over the ship’s PA system.

The decommissioning announcement came while the Ingraham was at sea and was a shock, Brunelle said.

She would have become the commanding officer of the Ingraham after 18 months of service aboard, replacing Straub.

“We were supposed to be some of the last COs,” Brunelle said.

Instead she will transfer to USS Momsen, a guided missile destroyer also stationed in Everett, to be its executive officer for 18 months. Straub is

every forensic evaluator has a maximum caseload and the hospital budget already faces a $6 million shortfall.

There is no ability to take on additional patients,” she said in an email. The sanctions become part of the agency’s budget “and will further limit our ability to provide services.”

Pierce County Superior Judge Frank Cuthbertson recently said he is aware of the state’s financial problems, but said he orders sanctions because the wait lists violate the defendants’ rights and he believes the

relocating to San Diego.

Commissioned in 1989, the Ingraham was to have been kept in service until 2019.

But budget cuts led the Navy to put the Ingraham on the decommissioning list for this year, a Navy spokeswoman confirmed.

According to the Navy’s long-term plan, 14 ships will be decommissioned by the end of the fiscal year, which ends Oct. 30, 2015.

That includes the frigate USS Rodney M. Davis, also stationed at Naval Station Everett, as well as eight other Oliver Hazard Perryclass frigates, the only remaining ships of that class in the Navy. It is currently on deployment.

The Rodney M. Davis is slated for foreign military sale after it is decommissioned, which will likely happen in the spring, said Kristin Ching, Naval Station Everett public affairs officer.

The Navy is also decommissioning an amphibious assault ship, two submarines and the USNS Rainier, a support vessel stationed in Bremerton.

That will leave Naval Station Everett with just three warships: the aircraft

state must be “compelled to fulfill its constitutional obligation.”

When mentally ill people are charged crimes and there is a question of whether they can participate in their defense, judges order competency evaluations. The state has seven days to comply. If the defendant is found incompetent, the state has seven days to provide treatment to restore competency. But neither of these is happening in a timely manner.

The latest tally shows that as of Nov. 14, 241 people were waiting to get into Western State Hospital and 76 of those had waited longer than 21 days. Another 111 people were listed for

carrier USS Nimitz and two Arleigh Burke-class destroyers, the USS Shoup and USS Momsen.

Two Coast Guard cutters also call Everett home, and, when there is a free pier, two Military Sealift Command ships can dock there, although they’re not technically stationed at the base, Ching said.

Elsewhere aboard the Ingraham, there are signs of the ship being slowly shut down.

Temporary work stations are being set up in one of the ship’s helicopter hangars as they are shut down elsewhere on the ship.

“This will be a common

room for everybody,” said Lt. j.g. Victor Triscas, the ship’s electronic warfare officer.

A wall that bore the ship’s commendations is now bare except for the adhesives that used to secure the plaques and awards.

Triscas and Lt. j.g. Aaron Comins removed the commanding officer’s plaque from the wall near the captain’s stateroom. It will be packed off to the Naval History and Heritage Command in Washington, D.C., Triscas said.

On the foredeck, Chief Petty Officer Shawn Boomer, Petty Officer 2nd Class Geoffrey Grey and

Seaman Robert Swanson removed the heavy brass ship’s bell from its mounting.

The munitions and fuel had been removed from the ship in the first phase of decommissioning, said Senior Chief Petty Officer Paul Dammon, who is overseeing the entire process.

One of the ship’s two gas turbines was shut down Thursday, and the other one was being made ready to turn off.

The crew is also finding homes for some of the valuable equipment aboard, “anything that can be used on another ship, anything from the fire fighting equipment to electronics, even things like printer paper,” Dammon said.

Most of that equipment will either be stored on base or transferred to other ships stationed in Everett or within Destroyer Squadron 9, the Ingraham’s last group assignment.

One visitor Wednesday was Ensign Ryan Wu, a supply officer from a cruiser based in San Diego.

He was there to see what surplus equipment was available for his ship, the

Eastern State Hospital.

According to records recently released to The Associated Press by the state attorney general’s office, lawyers were filing motions in 2013 asking the judges to take action on the wait lists, but most judges struck down the “show cause” motions and the defendants remained in jails. But in 2014, that started to change and judges started holding the state in contempt for not following court orders and imposing fines, the documents show.

Sanctions in three cases had reached $15,500 each

by Friday. Two other defendants who were in jail for 42 days resulted in sanctions

of $21,500 for each case. All of those defendants are still waiting to be moved. Some of the sanctions topped $9,500 before the defendants were moved to the hospital, the records show.

Beyer said holding mentally ill people in jails while they wait for evaluations and treatment is a violation of their rights, “making legislative action constitutionally essential.” Her agency has asked lawmakers to authorize and fund additional forensic beds at the state’s two psychiatric hospitals, she said. They also asked for three new evaluator positions and more staff.

It’s now in the Legislature’s hands.

Sen. Jeannie Darneille, D-Tacoma, said the wait list problem “is a major concern for us all” and they’ve been trying craft small

solutions until adequate funding can be found. One solution in Tacoma was the opening of a 16-bed center for evaluations and treatment, she said.

But finding beds for hundreds of defendants could be a challenge given a newly released revenue forecast that projected a budget gap of more than $2 billion over the next two years.

“It’s a situation where we can’t go from zero to 60 in 3 seconds,” said Darneille, a member of the Senate Human Services & Corrections Committee.

Besides trying to find new hospital beds or open space for competency cases at the psychiatric hospitals, the state also faces the challenge of finding and retaining staff, she said.

“It’s a win-win position for both ships,” Wu said.

Up on the bridge, banks of high-tech radar, communications and navigation equipment mixed with oldstyle brass speaking tubes, telephones and chart tables piled with folded signal flags. The Ingraham was one of the last large warships that still used paper charts, and those will also be put into storage, Triscas said.

By Monday, almost all of the ship will be dark, and the crew will be living in barracks on shore.

“We’ll still have bottled water and electrical power, but no sewer, no mess service,” Triscas said.

Down near the ship’s main workshop, one lonely crewman sat propped against a bulkhead with an empty can of Mountain Dew: Oscar, the rescue/ medical practice dummy.

“Oscar goes swimming a lot,” Triscas explained.

With a worn uniform and dirty feet, however, Oscar’s days at sea, like the Ingraham’s, appeared to be over.

money working in the private sector or for the federal government so the state must increase salaries if it wants to staff the facilities, she said.

Sen. Linda Evans Parlette, R-Wenatchee, said the blame for the problem lies with DSHS. The Legislative Audit and Review Committee released a report in April saying the agency had failed in several areas regarding the competency issues and made five recommendations, including to improve reporting, collaboration and training, Parlette said.

“The bottom line is DSHS has not done a very good job of staying on top of this issue,” said Parlette, who co-chairs the Adult Behavioral Health System task force. “They were not compliant in doing things they were told to do.”

Monroe students run up Kids Marathon miles Have you seen little runners wearing matching red uniforms in Monroe? These pint-size athletes are running a marathon — one mile at a time.

The Fryelands Elementary School running club — including more than 50 students, some as young as kindergarten — are participating in the Seattle Children’s Kids Marathon under the leadership of physical education specialist Maureen O’Brien. The marathon lets children complete a full 26.2-mile marathon at a rate that is fun and safer for their growing bodies. Kids run 25 miles on their own, then meet Nov. 29 in Seattle for the last 1.2 miles. The Fryelands team has a route they use to rack up their 25 miles that goes from the school up to the intersection of Fryelands Boulevard and Monroe-Snohomish Road.

Fourth-grader Brett de la Fuente likes the route. “It’s a hill. We get to run up and then we don’t have to run as fast on the way back,” he said, in a Monroe School District press release.

Box for a bed brings in over $1,100 for shelter A group of Sky Valley-area teenagers slept outside in the rain Nov. 8 to raise awareness of homelessness and solicit donations for the Monroe Cold Weather Shelter. Their “lock-out” efforts brought in $1,120 (and counting) for the shelter.

The Monroe Cold Weather Shelter is an arm of the Monroe-based nonprofit Take the Next Step effort. Housed at New Hope Fellowship Church on West Main Street, the shelter opens to the homeless on nights when temperatures are forecasted

LIVING WITH CHILDREN

DAILY CROSSWORD

From the files of a longtime counselor

By John Rosemond McClatchy-Tribune News Service

From the I’m Sorry to Have to Tell You Department: Parents who say they want to raise kids who “think for themselves” are not being exactly truthful. It’s a nice and very democratic thing to say, for sure, but let’s face it, folks, you want your kids to think like you do. For example: If you’re a liberal, you want your kids to be liberals when they grow up. Right? Right!

The same is true of conservatives, libertarians, people of faith, people of no faith, and people with COEXIST bumper stickers on their cars. Furthermore, that’s the way it should be. When you conceive a child, you pass along your genes.

As you raise the child, you pass along your world view. If you are not trying to pass along your world view, then you must think your world view isn’t worth passing along, and I’ve yet to meet such a person.

From the Can’t We All Just Get Along? Department: When I was a child, my parents repeatedly told me not to get into conversations about religion or politics.

Those subjects were divisive, they said, and it is especially the case

in America that people need to find common ground. My parents would not be pleased to know that their admonition fell on deaf ears. I would rather talk about matters of religion and politics than anything else (having a good deal to do with the fact that I am one of a small number of males who care nothing about sports). But I will propose that my parents, if they were still with us, would add a third item to their “don’t discuss” list: parenting.

Where once there was general agreement on how to raise kids, today there is little; therefore, the subject is likely to provoke conflict. Furthermore, given that such agreement is essential to perpetuating, strengthening, and constantly renewing culture, a lack of consensus concerning how American parents should be raising American children is the most divisive and dangerous of all disagreements. Comparatively speaking, disagreements over such things as climate change and health care are small potatoes.

From the Here’s a Prime Example of What I’m Talking About Department: One of the questions I am most asked is

SUPER QUIZ Take this Super Quiz to a Ph.D. Score 1 point for each correct answer on the Freshman Level, 2 points on the Graduate Level and 3 points on the Ph.D. Level.

Subject: HOW MANY? Each question is of the form: “How many ... ?” (e.g., Presidents assassinated in the 20th century? Answer: Two.) FRESHMAN LEVEL 1. Times was Elvis married?

2. Minutes of fame did Andy Warhol say we’d all have?

3. Times was Franklin Delano Roosevelt elected president?

GRADUATE LEVEL 4. Times did Muhammad Ali win the heavyweight title?

5. People are on the Supreme Court of the United States?

6. Ways are there to “Leave Your Lover” in Paul Simon’s song?

BIRTHDAYS PH.D. LEVEL 7. Years were the Israelites in the wilderness?

8. Times has an actor won consecutive Best Actor Oscars?

9. Men on the dead man’s chest are there in “Treasure Island”?

ANSWERS: 1. One. 2. Fifteen.

3. Four. 4. Three. 5. Nine. 6. Fifty.

7. Forty. 8. Two. 9. Fifteen.

SCORING: 18 points — congratulations, doctor; 15-17 points — honors graduate; 1014 points — you’re plenty smart, but no grind; 4-9 points — you really should hit the books harder; 1-3 points — enroll in remedial courses immediately; 0 points — who reads the questions to you?

“How can my spouse and I get on the same page?” The answer is simple. The reason husband and wife are not on the same page is because the two people in question are no longer husband and wife; they are mother and father to a child or children. When they began having children, they began acting as if they had taken a vow saying they would be husband and wife “until children do us part.” When two married people with children function primarily as mother and father, they will view their kids through two very different sets of eyes — male and female. When they raise kids as husband and wife, they are far more likely to see their kids and their parenting responsibilities with one set of eyes. And nothing puts a more solid foundation of well-being under a child’s feet than that set of circumstances.

From the It’s Really Quite Simple Department: The reason a child does not do what he is told is he is not being told. Instead, his parents are pleading, bargaining, bribing, explaining, reasoning, cajoling, encouraging, promising, threatening, and screaming. You want your kids to obey? Tell.

Worker needs a way to explain firing for tardiness Dear Abby: I was recently fired from my job for chronic tardiness. I have worked at this business for four years, and although I knew my lateness was seen as a problem by my boss, it was still a surprise.

Now that I’m back in the job market again, I’m wondering if I need to mention my previous tardiness on employment applications. I asked my mother, who has been privy to this whole mess. She thinks I should mention it and explain that I have learned my lesson — especially when applying to a different branch of my former company that would have direct access to my evaluations.

I think I should explain my tardiness as a “lesson learned” on job interviews when/if it comes up, not on applications where I am trying to put my best foot forward. What say you? — Tardy For Work Dear Tardy: While I think your mother may mean well, I agree with YOU! Dear Abby: When I was little I would have given anything to have met my father at least once.

Now I am 26 and have a 2-year-old boy, “Sean.”

I am married, but not to his father (a man I’ll call Charlie).

All of a sudden, Charlie is wanting to be in Sean’s life, but Sean already knows my husband as his daddy.

I’m confused and afraid.

What’s your advice? I don’t want to confuse my little boy about the man who is raising him and his biological father, but I don’t want to wait ‘til Sean is older and cause him pain. — Mom In Tennessee Dear Mom: It appears that Bio-Dad is a little slow on the uptake.

life, he should also be paying child support if he doesn’t already, so discuss this with a lawyer.

Charlie should be introduced to Sean by his name for now. When the boy is old enough to understand — in a year or two — he should then be told that he has two dads and that he’ll be sharing time with both of them because they both love him.

Dear Abby: My boyfriend and I have been dating for a year and a half.

Last Thanksgiving I invited him — and he attended — my family’s get-together. Of course, I invited him again this year.

However, his rich sister and brother-in-law are treating his family to Thanksgiving dinner at a nice restaurant. I was not invited.

My feelings are hurt, but I’m not sure I’m justified in feeling that way. Should I just get over it since I’m not actually a member of their family? — Uninvited In Missouri Dear Uninvited: If you’re smart, you’ll be gracious about this. While it would have been nice if the sister had included you, you and your boyfriend are not engaged — and the sister may have wanted the dinner to be “strictly family.”

As the hostess, that is her privilege.

South’s best chance is to lead a spade from dummy to his nine, producing a third trick if East has the ten (or both the queen and ten). If West has the ten, declarer still succeeds if either defender started with Q-x-x.

Since declarer is short of dummy entries, he should put up the queen of hearts at Trick One, hoping it holds. Then he can make his spade play.

Capaldi muses on 1st year as ‘Doctor Who’

By Tish Wells

On DVD

McClatchy Washington Bureau

Finishing out his first season as “Doctor Who,” lead actor Peter Capaldi feels he’s living a dream and having a “fabulous” time.

“I get up at half-six in the morning,” he says, “and by 7 o’clock I’m fighting Daleks, running down corridors, skipping down ventilation shafts. That’s a great way to be living your life at this age, I think.”

The Doctor is an alien from the planet Gallifrey who travels through time and space in his TARDIS (time machine), having adventures and usually defending Earth. The show celebrated its golden 50th anniversary at the end of 2013 with a major change in the main character.

Capaldi took over and, at 56, he was appreciatively

At the time, a major question was, “Would the fans be able to handle an ‘older’ Doctor?”

According to Capaldi the answer has been yes.

“When people see you — they meet you, or they meet me-they very kindly project the character of Doctor Who upon me,” he

He’s very pleased that people have accepted him as the Doctor.

“You have a real sense of how much the show means to those who love it,” he says.

The other side of such a notable part is a loss of anonymity. “The ability to

walk down the street without people being aware of you.it’s a luxury that’s no longer open to me.”

More than 2.5 million viewers tuned in the first episode to be introduced to the new Doctor.

Capaldi says that he’s “found generally if the kids are into it, and they like it, it’s the show and the character basically.

He adds, “For those who grew up with the show, we’re used to having an older Doctor. The younger Doctor is the stranger.”

Since the first Doctor in 1963, William Hartnell, there have been 12 other actors who have taken on the part. The show manages this by having the Doctor regenerate into a new actor, each of who brings a different sensibility to the character.

The ninth season is already in pre-production.

— Bob Fankhauser, Physical Therapist/Business Owner

A graduate of the Everett High School Class of ‘65, Bob Fankhauser decided to attend EvCC for the convenience and affordability. At the time, he didn’t realize how much ‘bang for the buck’ he would get. “Going to EvCC was not a step down from other higher education institutions,” he says. “The course work was very comparable and compatible for moving on to other universities.” Armed with the science course preparation he received at EvCC, Bob went on to graduate with a bachelor’s degree in education from Eastern Washington State University, a master in education from the University of Idaho, and then attended Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles for the physical therapy program. Today, he is the therapy director and owner/partner for Summit Rehabilitation, providing physical therapy services in five local locations. “EvCC was a great foundation,” says Bob. “The financial savings makes EvCC a great opportunity!”

Meeting between team leaders and Carroll may have turned season around

Seahawks put together ‘best’ game in key NFC West matchup

By Rich Myhre Herald Writer

S

EATTLE — As Marshawn Lynch rumbled for a 23-yard gain — a play that started with some Russell Wilson wizardry as he escaped the relentless Arizona Cardinals pass rush — Earl Thomas couldn’t contain himself.

The Seahawks’ AllPro safety ran down the sideline and briefly onto the field to celebrate the big play with Lynch until an official reminded Thomas that he wasn’t supposed to be out there with the offense, and moments JOHN BOYLE later, Seattle head coach Pete Carroll came running in to pull Thomas onto the sideline. It was a moment of pure joy in tougher-than-expected season for the Seahawks, one of several goofy moments on a day where Seattle looked a lot more like the team that won a Super Bowl last season than the one that struggled at times on the way to a 6-4 start.

On an afternoon when the Seahawks dominated the Arizona Cardinals on the way to a 19-3 victory, the defending champs didn’t just find a way to knock off the team with the league’s best record, they might See BOYLE, Page C5

SEATTLE — Though their journey is still uphill, the Seattle Seahawks took a big stride in the right direction on Sunday afternoon, thumping the NFC West-leading Arizona Cardinals 19-3 before a raucous crowd at CenturyLink Field.

Trailing the Cardinals by three games in the division race ✓ Defense steps up C4 before the game, ✓ Seahawks grades C4 Seattle cut that defi- ✓ Game stats C4 cit to two games with five to play. ✓ Seahawks block punt C5 Since the two teams ✓ Wilson takes over — again C5 square off again at Arizona on Dec. 21, the 7-4 Seahawks still have a chance to catch the 9-2 Cardinals in the season’s remaining weeks.

“Everything we want is still in front of us,” said Seattle wide receiver Doug Baldwin. “All the people who were pressing the panic button at 6-4, tell them to relax.”

“This was a big-time division win and we needed it,” added linebacker K.J. Wright. “There’s been a lot of talk about us losing games and that we’re not the same (as last season’s Super Bowl championship season), but we came out today and showed what we’re capable of

EVERETT — Everett Silvertips star winger Nikita Scherbak appears to have dodged a bullet.

Scherbak, who had to be taken off the ice on a stretcher during Everett’s 3-2 shootout victory over Seattle on Saturday night, avoided any major damage, a Silvertips team spokesman said Sunday.

Scherbak, Everett’s leading scorer, was injured when he

was checked into the boards on a legal hit by Seattle’s Keegan Kolesar late in the second period Saturday. Scherbak immediately went down in pain and remained on the ice for approximately 10 minutes, moving little. He was placed in a neck brace and taken off the ice on a stretcher.

Scherbak passed movement tests in all of his extremities prior to being transported from ShoWare Center in Kent to Valley Medical Center in Renton.

Reports Saturday night indicated

Scherbak’s head and neck were cleared of serious injury, but that his lower back was still being evaluated.

According to the team spokesman, further tests on Scherbak Saturday night revealed no serious damage to Scherbak’s nerves or back, and that scans for fractures also came back negative. Scherbak was discharged from the hospital without having to remain overnight, though he did leave on crutches.

Scherbak will be re-evaluated

by Silvertips team doctors Monday.

Scherbak, a native of Russia who is in his 19-year-old season, was Everett’s big trade acquisition from the Saskatoon Blades in September. The first-round NHL draft pick by the Montreal Canadiens has 11 goals and 17 assists in 19 games with the Tips.

Huskies look forward to Apple Cup

By Rich Myhre Herald Writer

SEATTLE — By beating Oregon State on Saturday night, the University of Washington football team got its seventh win of the season and became bowl eligible for the fifth straight year.

For Washington State, Saturday’s annual Apple Cup showdown will serve as this season’s bowl game.

And the Huskies know it.

“We expect their best,” said UW linebacker John Timu, minutes after his team’s 37-13 victory over the Beavers. “Anytime it’s the Apple Cup, those guys play hard. It doesn’t matter their record or our record. This game is a whole ’nother game.”

While the 7-5 Huskies expect to close their season with a December bowl matchup, there will be no bowl game for the 3-8 Cougars. They will wrap up their

The best place to build your dream

schedule against Washington, and a win on their home turf would do a lot to salvage an otherwise disappointing season.

“They’re going to bring their ‘A’ game when they play us,” Timu said. “We know we’re going to get the best out of the Cougs, but they’re going to get the best out of us, too.

“We’ve got to win to say who’s the leader of the state, who’s the boss of the state.”

Washington will head to Pullman coming off perhaps its most complete game of the season, and certainly its most complete home game. Against an OSU team that had upset highly ranked Arizona State the week before, the Huskies struck quickly for a 17-0 lead and then turned the game into a romp with two fourth-quarter touchdowns.

The Cougars, meanwhile, were outscored 31-7 in the second

half by Arizona State in a 52-31 defeat.

But whatever happened the previous week will have little bearing by the time the Apple Cup kicks off, UW coach Chris Petersen pointed out. Indeed, he said, the entire seasons of both teams are mostly meaningless when the Huskies and Cougars do battle.

Though this will be Petersen’s first Apple Cup, “the records have nothing to do with anything ... in these types of games,” he said. “I know there are probably going to be tough (weather) conditions over there, and I know there’ll be a lot of energy over there.”

As for the Cougars, Petersen expects they will be “playing at their best, their highest level.”

WSU suffered the loss of starting quarterback Connor Halliday to a broken leg two weeks ago, but backup Luke Falk has stepped in capably. Against

Crimson Tide narrowed after another close call by Florida State, which beat Boston College 20-17 on a field goal in the waning seconds.

The Seminoles are still the only undefeated Big Five conference team after beating Boston College.

“The majority of the games we’ve played this year have been like this game,” Jameis Winston said. “So this isn’t anything new.

Florida State received 37 first-place votes and 1,458 points, down six first-place votes and 18 points from last week.

Alabama has 21 firstplace votes 1,445 points.

No. 3 Oregon received two first-place votes, one more than last week.

Mississippi State is fourth, followed by Baylor and TCU. Baylor and TCU swapped places. Ohio State remained No. 7.

No. 22 Minnesota, No. 23 Clemson, No. 24 Louisville and No. 25 Boise State moved into the rankings. Nebraska, Utah, Southern California and Duke dropped out.

The Gophers are ranked for the first time since 2008.

ASU, Falk passed for 601 yards, albeit with four interceptions.

The Cougars “are a unique team with how much they throw the ball,” Petersen said. “They’re never going to be out of the game. They always have the ability to keep coming back because that’s what they do. So it’ll be an interesting, fun, exciting week of preparation to play in this game.”

And if the game means a lot to WSU, it surely means plenty to Washington, too. UW linebacker Travis Feeney called the Apple Cup “our bowl game before our bowl game.”

“I expect it to be a brawl like always,” Feeney said. “We’re going to be ready to go and they’re going to be ready to go.”

“It’s not hard to get up for a rivalry game,” added linebacker Hau’oli Kikaha. “They never disappoint when we play them so it’s a great matchup, a great rivalry.”

UW men get past Pacific, but wish they played better

By Christian Caple The News Tribune

SEATTLE — In the end, the scoreboard showed the right numbers for the Washington Huskies. But they weren’t happy about how they got there.

Just ask them. “That wasn’t our team out there tonight, with the exception of about six minutes,� Huskies coach Lorenzo Romar said of UW’s 76-69 victory over University of the Pacific on Sunday night at KeyArena as part of the inaugural Marv Harshman Classic. “We didn’t play the way we

wanted to play,� sophomore point guard Nigel Williams-Goss said. “We kind of jumped out early, they cut the lead down, and from there on we kind of played sluggish and did things that weren’t us, were uncharacteristic of us.�

Three games into the season, it’s hard to know just yet what to expect from the Huskies (3-0). But they made it clear after Sunday’s lethargic, uninteresting game in a mostly empty arena that such an effort isn’t the kind of performance with which they’d like to identify.

that level of intensity, and Pacific did a good job of coming back, being relentless and being aggressive, and got right back in the ball game.�

But the paint became a frequent destination for the Tigers, who shot only 40.4 percent from the field but made more easy baskets than the Huskies wanted. T.J. Wallace, Pacific’s leading scorer, finished with a game-high 24 points. Wallace made only 6-of-19 from the field, but was able to navigate his way to the rim often enough to earn 15 free throws.

Dulani Robinson, a 5-foot-9 guard, also gave the Huskies trouble and finished with 14 points. It didn’t help that 7-foot center Robert

COMMENTARY

Offense

B

A lot of the numbers weren’t particularly inspiring for Seattle’s offense. It produced 293 yards, was 38 percent on third down and was 1-for-5 in the red zone.

But on the flip side, it’s hard to understate how important and impressive that 75-yard touchdown drive was that put the game out of reach. And when you consider that Russell Wilson had his best game in a while against a very good defense, there are reasons to be encouraged by the offense’s performance, even if they didn’t run the ball particularly well and allowed seven sacks.

Defense

A

It’s no coincidence that with Seattle’s defense being as healthy as it has been since early in the season, it also performed better than it has in a long time, holding the Cardinals to 204 yards and a field goal. Seattle’s pass rush was as good as it has been in a while, the run defense was much improved after a rough outing last week, and in a lot of ways it felt a bit like 2013 watching the defense Sunday.

Special teams

B+

There were a couple of negatives on special teams, most notably a blocked field goal and Paul Richardson’s decision to bring a kick out of the back of the end zone, resulting in bad field position. But for the most part it was a good day for Seattle’s special teams. DeShawn Shead’s blocked punt set up a field goal, Jon Ryan pinned the Cardinals deep with two of his three punts, and Bryan Walters had a pair of nice punt returns.

Coaching

A

This was as close to being a must-win game as there can be in November. And the Seahawks didn’t just get the victory, they played one of their most complete games of the year, dominating on defense, doing enough on offense and making big plays on special teams.

The Seahawks’ ability to rise to the occasion bodes well for their prospects going forward.

Defense smothers Cardinals

By Dave Boling The News Tribune

The Arizona Cardinals had 10 possessions and 58 offensive plays against the Seahawks.

They scored three points.

Arizona sacked Russell Wilson seven times; Arizona limited Seattle’s irrepressible back Marshawn Lynch to 2.6 yards per carry.

But the Cardinals scored three points.

The Cardinals came into the game with the best record in the NFL (9-1), riding a six-game winning streak, and holding a three-game lead in the NFC West division. But they scored three points.

And in a performance that reminded fans and players alike of the best moments in recent seasons, the Seahawks delivered evidence they are not on the edge of being rendered irrelevant in the division, after all, but possibly on the edge of forging a dramatic late-season rally.

Anything can happen, you see, when you hold teams to three points.

By swarming the ball, gangtackling, jamming the line against the rush and blanketing receivers, the Seahawks (7-4) closed the division gap to two

games with a 19-3 decision at CenturyLink Field.

“The time is right to get in the groove,” said defensive tackle Kevin Williams. “We’re trying to get in the groove and go down the stretch as a well-oiled machine. Other than missing (Brandon Mebane), we’re pretty much at full strength and we are getting after it.”

Fair to have wondered if middle linebacker Bobby Wagner would be back to full effectiveness after missing five games with a toe injury.

But Wagner had eight tackles in his first game back. He was not only effective and assignment sound, his presence in the huddle and in the middle of the defense provides the Hawks with a controlled leadership.

“I think we’re all getting healthy at the right time, playing good ball at the right time, and it’s going to be important down the stretch with all the divisional games on the back end,” Wagner said.

The plan was obvious — to bring safety Kam Chancellor up as an eighth defender near the line to shut down the rush and force the Cardinals to try to win on the passing of backup quarterback Drew Stanton.

Stanton wasn’t up to it, although his performance

wasn’t helped with receivers dropping passes and his line offering spotty protection.

It took the Seahawks a while to separate, though, as the Cardinals defense kept pressure on quarterback Russell Wilson, who, once again, had to flee the pocket with regularity.

He was inventive enough, with 73 rushing yards and a passer rating of 121.6, to finally get the Hawks in the end zone after a series of Red Zone appearances resulted in field goals rather than touchdowns.

As Chancellor pointed out afterward, that’s what the Seahawks do when they’re working in unison — the defense holds on until the offense gets it right, or, sometimes, it’s the other way around.

“I definitely felt the connection,” Chancellor said of the Seahawks working toward a common goal.

“It started during the week in practice,” he said. “I felt the team connect more and more. And it looked like it today.”

The first assessment safety Earl Thomas made after the game was about how much “fun we had ... just looking in each other’s eyes.”

Head coach Pete Carroll saw the look in their eyes, too, of course.

“It was the best feeling we’ve had all year,” Carroll said. “(It was) the best sense for one another ... and the focus and intensity.”

Carroll addressed something that Chancellor mentioned, too: That the team needed to be reminded they were playing for each other, and needed to trust one another.

“I think it was a really strong mentality for us in this game, and I’m hoping that this helped us reconnect with something that we were looking for,” Carroll said.

As Wilson pointed out, this was a flawed game by the offense at times.

So, they’ve got a number of issues to address before taking on San Francisco in yet another important divisional game on Thanksgiving night.

But Sunday’s win over Arizona was a vivid reminder that this team has a lot left to accomplish, and is not nearly as close to fading away as critics might have thought in recent weeks.

Most convincing was the way they accomplished it: With a smothering defense that rendered the Cardinals impotent.

And if sustained, it could cause things to get increasingly more interesting in the season’s final weeks.

and how good we can be.”

The Seahawks won with an offense that put together five scoring possessions while punting only three times, and a defense that kept Arizona’s offense almost completely in check. The Cardinals managed only a field goal a few minutes before halftime, and their four offensive drives in the second half ended with a turnover on downs and three punts.

“It just really felt like this was the first really big-time together game that we’ve played (on defense this season),” said Seattle head coach Pete Carroll.

“We’ve had some good games and stuff, but this was the best one.

“And it comes at a good time. We have to turn this thing around in a hurry, and hopefully we can put together another quick week (the Seahawks play at San Francisco on Thursday night) and continue to move in that same direction.”

As important as this win was, it was hardly without flaws.

Seattle’s offensive line — playing without injured starters Max Unger and James Carpenter at center and left guard — had trouble opening holes for running back Marshawn Lynch, who had

gained 264 yards in Seattle’s previous two games. Lynch had just 39 yards against Arizona, and his 2.6-yard average for 15 carries was his lowest since the 2013 season opener at Carolina (2.5).

Likewise, the Seahawks were woeful in the red zone (inside the Arizona 20), getting just one touchdown in five chances. Fortunately, the strong right leg of place-kicker Steven Hauschka kept delivering points — field goals of 27, 32, 52 and 40 yards.

Hauschka also had a 49-yard attempt that was blocked.

Seattle’s only touchdown came on 20-yard pass from quarterback Russell Wilson to tight end Cooper Helfet late in

the third quarter. On a broken play, Wilson scrambled to his right and found Helfet along the sideline. Helfet got a big block from tight end Tony Moeaki and then leaped for the end zone, clipping the pylon with the outstretched ball.

“Cooper, man, that guy’s a superstar,” Wilson said. “I don’t know how he wrapped that ball around the pylon, but it was a pretty spectacular play.”

Otherwise, Wilson went on, “there are so many things that our team can do better offensively. I don’t think we’ve scratched the surface yet. ... We just have to keep capitalizing, keep believing, and at the end

of the day it comes down to winning the game.”

Ahead for Seattle are games at San Francisco and Philadelphia, a home game against San Francisco, a road game at Arizona, and the regular-season finale at home against St. Louis. The Seahawks can still win the NFC West and perhaps even finish with the NFC’s best record, or they could claim a wild-card playoff spot.

But they also could miss the postseason altogether, which means the season’s outcome hinges on these final five games.

And that, Baldwin said, “is what the Seahawks are about, fighting to the end. It doesn’t matter if it’s the first, second or third quarter, we know we can win in the fourth quarter. And now we’re heading into the fourth quarter (of the season).”

Certainly the Seahawks hope that Sunday’s showing can be a springboard for the team in the pivotal final weeks.

“Any way you look at it, this was a big opportunity for us in the division and a really nice performance,” Carroll said. “I loved the way the guys rallied to play together. It was a really good effort by our guys across the board. Real tough and physical, and the defense played the way we love to see them play.

“It was,” he added, “a really good-feeling day. I thought it was a really clear exhibition of good Seahawks football.”

10-men on field leads to blocked punt

Once again, Wilson takes over

By John Boyle Herald Writer

SEATTLE — Again the Seattle Seahawks offense was struggling, again they were failing to convert in the red zone, and again there was reason to question whether the passing game has regressed from a year ago.

Then as he has done so many times before, quarterback Russell Wilson flipped the switch in the third quarter and took over. Wilson engineered the only touchdown drive of the game for either team to give the Seahawks some much-needed breathing room in an eventual 19-3 victory over the NFC West first-place Arizona Cardinals.

In leading the Seahawks on a nine-play, 75-yard drive, Wilson went 6-for-6 for 70 yards — including a 20-yard touchdown pass to Cooper Helfet — and scrambled for 15 yards on a third-and-11 play to keep Seattle from having to settle for yet another field-goal attempt.

Wilson, who was sacked seven times and used his elusiveness to avoid several other sacks, saved his best escape act for that touchdown drive. Wilson spun away from Cardinals linebacker Alex Okafor to find a wide open Marshawn Lynch for what would end up being a 23-yard gain. Wilson

retreated so far on the play that he was roughly 18 yards behind the line of scrimmage when he threw the ball.

“Obviously I think we let Russell Wilson be Russell Wilson on too many occasions,” said Cardinals safety Tyrann Mathiue.

While Wilson was at his very best on that drive, his strong play wasn’t limited to one possession. Wilson completed 17 of 22 passes for 211 yards, didn’t turn the ball over and posted a 121.6 passer rating that was the highest against Arizona this season. Wilson also rushed for a game-high 73 yards on 10 carries. He hit Ricardo Lockette for a 48-yard gain with a throw he jokingly referred to as a no-look pass. Because on that play, which set up a field goal, Wilson looked off coverage, causing cornerback Patrick Peterson to leave Lockette thinking the ball was going left. Wilson threw a strike to the other side of the field without ever resetting his feet, which were set toward the left side of the field.

“I thought he made a bunch of great plays today,” Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said. “Now, he got sacked a bunch, and they got him, but he made some things happen. He showed that magic he has to get out and create. He created with his legs.

The great throw he hit Marshawn on, getting out of trouble, you know, he was nailed in the backfield. I thought he played a really

good football game under extreme duress, and showed great poise, and kept coming back. Then, when the protection was there, he stood strong in the pocket and made his throws. I just thought it was a really good game for him.”

Considering the opponent, the importance of the game and the growing concern over Seattle’s passing game, it might have been Wilson’s best performance this season. When asked about the passing game during the week, Wilson repeatedly said the struggles were “on me.” He was taking ownership for a problem that only partly falls on him.

But on Sunday he showed how a good quarterback can mask other flaws for an offense. Such as a pass protection that allowed him to be hit 11 times. And even after taking a big step forward, Wilson says he and the offense have plenty of room for growth going forward.

“There are so many things that I can do better,” he said. “There are so many things that our team can do better offensively.

I don’t think we’ve scratched the surface yet. I expect us to score 50 every game. I just believe that we can, because we have before. For us, there’s a lot of things that we can do.”

SEATTLE — Early in the third quarter of Sunday’s game, the Seahawks defense got a three-and-out on Arizona’s first offensive series. Seattle’s coaches called for a return scheme on the Cardinals’ punt, hoping to get good field position.

DeShawn Shead ended up giving the Seahawks great field position.

Taking advantage of a major Arizona miscue — the Cardinals only had 10 men on the field — Shead came through virtually untouched to block the punt. The loose ball was scooped up by Arizona’s Rob Housler, but he was slammed to the turf by Seattle’s Cooper Helfet, giving the Seahawks a first down at the Cardinal 24-yard line.

Coming off the line of scrimmage, “I was so free, I didn’t know what to do,” Shead said. “I was thinking I probably could’ve taken it off (punter Drew Butler’s) foot.”

As Arizona lined up prior to the snap, Shead was supposed to block one of the Cardinals to set up Seattle’s punt return. But as Shead explained, “I was supposed to hold somebody up (with a block), but I didn’t have anybody to hold up on. So (I thought) I might as well go block the punt.”

Shead knew the Cardinals were missing one player, “and I thought they were going to bring somebody else in.

But then they snapped the ball,” he said.

He ended up with the first blocked punt of his football career and, for his trouble, a split lip. Though Shead blocked the kick cleanly, Butler’s foot came up and kicked him in the face, leaving him with a split lip.

“It’s definitely a great war wound,” Shead said.

Helfet’s big hit Shead’s blocked punt was the first of two Seattle hightlights on the same play. The second was Helfet’s tackle of Housler, who had picked up the ball and started upfield.

Housler was grabbed by Helfet, hoisted and then slammed to the ground.

After making a block at the line of scrimmage, Helfet said he heard the thump of the punt being blocked. He quickly got to his feet, saw Housler chasing the ball, and raced in to make the tackle.

“I didn’t know what I was doing on the tackle, but it looked pretty cool apparently,” Helfet said with a grin. “It was like a body slam.”

Teammates Kam Chancellor and Earl Thomas immediately came up to offer congratulations. “And I thought, ‘All right, nice.’

Any time you get credit from Kam Chancellor for a tackle, that’s quite an achievement,” Helfet said.

Too many sacks

have found themselves.

“It’s a special win, because we did it together,” Thomas said after he and his defensive teammates held the Cardinals to 204 yards, their lowest output in nearly two years. “For the first time this year, I think we played for pure reasons with no motives attached. And that’s what you love about this team — we can put our egos to the side, we can admit when we’re wrong, but we got to stay true. We have different personalities, but the thing I love about this week was it was up and down, we had tough battles with each other, but it turned into something beautiful, man. I’m talking about hugs, emotions, meetings, and I love all of that, man that’s a part of the game.”

The Seahawks have been saying their locker room is fine all season, even after trading Percy Harvin and through every negative report that suggests friction between teammates or between players and coaches. But while they weren’t willing to publicly air their dirty laundry, the Seahawks have had some issues.

The way Thomas described it, the Seahawks are a family, and while that term usually suggests a positive relationship, families fight, family members bicker, they hold grudges, they don’t always see eye to eye. But last week, after a few things boiled over and after a meeting between some of the team’s core players and Carroll, the Seahawks found something that’s been missing this season.

“Trust,” Thomas said. “That’s what we’ve been missing, to be totally honest. I think we haven’t been trusting each other, but tonight, man, it was just pureness.”

“We’re playing for each other, that’s what make us us, that’s what makes us special.”

Apparently the healing that has been going on for the Seahawks has been more than just physical. Getting middle linebacker Bobby Wagner back after a five game absence was big for the defense. And the physical improvement in Kam Chancellor, who fought through injuries early in the season, is also noticeable.

But to hear players describe the team’s

The good news was, the Seahawks were able to score 19 points and get a convincing win over the NFC West-leading Cardinals.

The bad news was, Seattle’s offensive line — missing starters Max Unger at center and James Carpenter at left guard, both out with injuries — managed just 124 rushing yards on 29 carries, with 40 yards coming on one Russell Wilson scramble. Wilson was also sacked seven times for 42 yards.

“It could’ve been a lot better,” said Seahawks guard J.R. Sweezy of the offensive line play. “We’ll take a look at the film, see where the mistakes happened, and we’ll correct them.”

The bottom line, he added, “is that we’ve got to keep that guy (Wilson) clean.”

improvement following Sunday’s game, the biggest difference was the way the team came together during the week.

At the heart of the turnaround was the meeting that involved players like Thomas, Chancellor, Russell Wilson, Doug Baldwin, Michael Bennett, Richard Sherman and a few others, as well as their head coach.

“It was more so just about us trusting each other, us feeling each other, feeling what it is to play like a team,” Baldwin said.

“It was very evident today that we were playing like a team.

“That was the theme of the week. We had to get back to trusting each other. I spoke to Earl about it a little bit earlier this week. I told him that in order for a team or collective group to live and to thrive, the individual must die. Not necessarily die as in not breathing; it means the ego. We as a collective need to realize that if we just trust everybody on this team, if we trust each individual, each other to go out there and do their job, and then we put the put the pressure on ourselves just to do what we’re supposed to do, not doing anything out of the ordinary, not try too hard. If we just trust each other, the sky will be the limit for us and that we’ll be unstoppable because if we’re all playing collectively together, it’s like the theory of the fist and the fingers, when the fist is together it’s a lot more difficult to break than when the fingers are apart.”

Baldwin went on to describe a feeling

that something was missing, and that there was just a “subtle difference” between where the team was last week and where it is now, and in a parity-driven league in which talent is fairly evenly distributed, that subtle difference can be huge.

“The subtle difference between what’s good, what’s great and what’s legendary is the mental side of it and also the emotional side of it,” Baldwin said. “You have to play this game with emotion and if you can play this game with love, with trust and commitment to each other, that’s probably the hardest thing for anybody to stop.”

Of course it’s a lot easier to talk about turning a corner after drubbing a firstplace team than it would have been had the Seahawks had that same honest discussion midweek then lost to the Cardinals. And with another tough test coming in San Francisco Thursday, the Seahawks will need to back up this performance for people to really buy that a season-altering change occurred.

But for one Sunday afternoon at least, the Seahawks found joy on a football field, and more importantly, they say, they killed their egos and learned to trust again.

“You could feel the connection with these guys,” defensive coordinator Dan Quinn said. “Maybe that was the missing ingredient that we needed.”

Herald Columnist John Boyle: jboyle@ heraldnet.com

Seahawks welcome Hatch The Seahawks welcomed a special visitor on the field before Sunday’s game. Nate Hatch, a survivor of the recent shooting at Marysville Pilchuck High School, was an invited guest and had a chance to meet with Carroll.

“It was great to meet Nate,” Carroll said.

“We’ve communicated a little bit and we’ve been connected to the whole Marysville Pilchuck school ... and it was great. He was really excited to be down there. His mom was there and it was really fun to have him. I’m sure he had a big day.”

Injury update The Seahawks appear to have come out of Sunday’s game with no significant new injuries, which is especially good news for a team playing on Thursday this week. Receivers Jermaine Kearse and Ricardo Lockette both needed attention from trainers at one point, but returned to the game and were OK, Carroll said.

The only injury, according to Carroll, was tight end Cooper Helfet turning his ankle on a catch late in the game. “I’m a little banged up, but it’s a football game,” Helfet said. “I’ll be all right.”

Running back Marshawn Lynch missed two series early in the game, and while it was announced in the press box that his absence was related to a back injury, Carroll clarified that Lynch was “sick to his stomach. He was about ready to throw up over on the sidelines, so he had to wait it out.”

Guard James Carpenter, who was listed as questionable, did not play for a third straight game because of an ankle injury.

Carlos Hyde ran for a go-ahead 4-yard touchdown with 2:59 remaining after Boldin’s big gain, and San Francisco barely squeaked by the Redskins with a 17-13 win Sunday that kept them in the thick of the playoff chase.

Niners finally capitalized with a rare TD in the final period on the way to their third straight victory.

San Francisco (7-4) overcame three turnovers.

Washington coach Jay Gruden won a challenge with 5:36 left that Vernon Davis hadn’t made a first down. San Francisco went for it and Frank Gore converted the fourth-and-1. On the next play, Colin Kaepernick hit Boldin for a 29-yard gain and safety Ryan Clark was flagged for a 15-yard unnecessary roughness penalty for his hit on Boldin.

As the play developed, Boldin just reminded himself “catch the ball and protect yourself.”

Boldin made a 10-yard reception two plays later, leading to Hyde’s score — the first TD by San Francisco’s first-team offense in the fourth quarter this season.

“For the past couple weeks you’ve seen guys laying it all out on the line,” Boldin said.

Kaepernick threw a 30-yard touchdown pass to Boldin on San Francisco’s initial series but did little else offensively to break open what was expected to be a lopsided game.

NW Dental offers affordable denture options W hen people discover they need dentures, whether due to injury or illness, it can be upsetting. They worry about their appearance, what they’ll feel like and if anyone will be able to tell the difference.

Fortunately, a lot has changed in the world of dentures and dentistry over the last couple of decades.

There are new materials and new methods of securing them. These definitely aren’t your grandmother’s dentures anymore.

“The new composites are so natural that even I can’t tell the difference when they’re in a patient’s mouth,” said second-generation, licensed denturist Eric Hansen. That is coming from an expert who can usually tell the manufacturer just by looking at an old denture.

Hansen is the owner of Northwest Dental, a local family of clinics with offices in Everett, Burlington, Oak Harbor and Bellingham.

Northwest Dental offers everything from general and cosmetic dentistry to implants and a full range of denture services.

“We have different new materials that help the teeth last longer. We have new techniques which make it easier and some of the techniques that we have are exclusive to our clinics,” Hansen said.

Whether a person is a first time denture wearer or has been wearing dentures

for decades, it’s worth looking into what’s new. That’s why Northwest Dental offices offer free denture consultations.

One of the most important advancements for denture wearers in recent years has been the innovation of implants to secure the denture in place. Nearly everyone with a lower denture would benefit immensely with implants, Hansen said.

The dentures snap solidly onto the implant posts so they can’t move around.

“That eliminates the need for any denture adhesive and it eliminates all the problems that people have with lower dentures,” he explained.

Northwest Dental can also offer implants on the upper denture when required. But a standard upper denture covers the full palate and creates a suction on its own that assists in holding the denture in place. Because of that, an upper denture isn’t usually a problem.

But there are some people who don’t like the way that a standard upper denture covers of the palate. It affects their senses of hot, cold and taste. For those people, Hansen urges them to come in and find out more rather than put up with something that doesn’t feel right.

“If you put four implants in the upper with attachments that snap on, then you don’t need to have a denture covering the entire

palate anymore,” he said.

“There are different types of implants that you can do.

Just call for a free consultation with our denturist to see which would be the best for you.”

Implants have other benefits as well. They can help in the reduction of bone loss, Hansen explained. Once all the teeth are gone, especially the lower teeth, the bone shrinks and dissolves and

changes and that can affect how dentures fit.

“But with a couple of implants in there, it really increases the time that the bone sticks around. In some cases it eliminates bone loss,” Hansen said.

Once a patient decides which type of denture is best for them, they can have those dentures crafted onsite in Northwest Dental’s own denture lab. Keeping everything local means a

faster turnaround time.

It also means patients actually get to consult with the expert denturist crafting their new dentures.

They can see the dentures throughout the process and request changes if needed ensuring a perfect fit.

It’s all part of the service.

Hansen and his staff take pride in offering compassionate and discreet care.

Dentures are sometimes covered by insurance. But

even if they are not covered, Northwest Dental offers affordable financing options.

To set up a free consultation or more information, go online at www.nwdenture.com or call the Everett office at (425) 259-2800.

Patients may also select from appointment opportunities at the Burlington, Oak Harbor or Bellingham Northwest Dental offices if they prefer.

Hamilton wins F1 title

Stefan.”

Coach Sigi Schmid thought the problems began well before that.

“The start of that goal was really on the righthand side of the field,” Schmid said. “They were playing three against two for us for about a minute and we didn’t get a defender out there to help and turn it into a threeagainst-three. And that allowed the ball to get back into the middle, and then Sarvas hits a shot that I think Stefan’s going to save if it doesn’t get the deflection.”

That goal will have to be made up at CenturyLink Field. And it could take more than a simple onegoal win, as the Sounders failure to score at L.A. could come back to haunt them in a series that values road goals as the first tie-breaker. That sets up a second leg in which L.A. advances with a win or a draw or even a one-goal loss by any score other than 1-0. A Sounders 1-0 win would send the game to added time and penalty kicks if needed. Otherwise, the Sounders need to win by two goals to advance.

“We’ve still got everything to play for in the second game,” Seattle forward Clint Dempsey said.

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates — Lewis Hamilton answered Nico Rosberg’s pre-race goading in defiant style, winning the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on Sunday as he clinched a second Formula One title and denied his brash-talking Mercedes teammate his first.

The days leading up to the race saw an upbeat Rosberg talking openly about how he fully intended to make Hamilton crack under pressure.

That resulted in the onus to deliver falling on Rosberg — Hamilton’s childhood friend and teenage go-karting rival — and match his pre-race fighting talk with equally aggressive driving.

It never happened, and the German driver’s dismal race saw him place a lowly 14th after he failed to recover from a poor start.

Hamilton, the 2008 F1 champion, entered the race with a 17-point lead over his rival, needing a top-two finish to guarantee the title.

But he was never even tested and the highly anticipated duel under floodlights never happened.

“Woooooo-hoooooo, world champion I can’t believe it! Thank you so much guys,” Hamilton screamed over race radio, before grabbing a Union

The Galaxy’s Marcelo Sarvas (right) and the Sounders’ Leo Gonzalez (left) pursue the ball during Sunday’s game.

“You would have to think that you would have to score to advance, so we’ve got to get goals. But at the same time keep playing the way we’re playing.

We’re creating chances.”

Some of Seattle’s best chances came from Dempsey and Obafemi Martins. Each had first-half chances in backto-back shots that Galaxy goalkeeper Jamie Penedo snuffed. Penedo came up big again in a one-on-one situation with Dempsey in the second half.

“The first one was a deflection and the ball kind of came high on me,” Dempsey said. “So what I tied to do was just try to get it down, and the keeper made a good reaction save. The other one was a give-and-go with Oba and the ball was kind of behind me a little bit so I dragged it with my left foot — I had a good first touch — but I didn’t have much of an angle. The

only thing I had was to try and chip him. He barely got a hand on it.”

The Sounders played without midfielders Osvaldo Alonso and Lamar Neagle.

Alonso was held out with a lingering leg injury that Schmid indicated was about 80 percent Sunday and is expected to be healed enough for his return next weekend.

Neagle’s absence was more of a surprise, with the club announcing about an hour before the match that he had been allowed to return to the Northwest “to deal with a serious personal matter.”

“Certainly those guys help our team,” Schmid said. “Neagle’s got nine goals and nine assists, so he’s somebody who that helps us on the attacking.

And obviously Ozzie is Ozzie. We hope they both will be available next week and it would make things better.”

Jack flag and waving it above his car as his mechanics celebrated wildly.

“It’s hard to soak all of this up. So much pressure,” the 29-year-old Hamilton said.

“I didn’t sleep last night. I went for a run and had a massage, I thought I would be tired, but somehow I felt composed for the race.”

He kept his helmet on for several minutes, appearing to wipe away tears, as the emotion of his hard-fought championship win started to sink in.

“This has been an incredible year,” Hamilton said. “It feels very surreal, like an out-of-body experience, like it’s not really happening.”

Standing watching in the Mercedes garage, Britain’s Prince Harry told him he was a “legend” and the emotion got to Hamilton, who described how he sat on a beach the night before the race, texting his father, Anthony Hamilton, and urging him to attend the race.

The elder Hamilton responded to his son’s call.

“One thing I want to say is a big huge ‘Thank You’ to all the fans, to my family. I love you guys,” Hamilton said. “This is the greatest day of my life — 2008 was a special day but this is way, way beyond that.”

As a dejected Rosberg climbed out of his car, Hamilton rushed over to

Rosberg started from pole position and, with double points on offer, could have won the title providing Hamilton finished third or lower.

“It is a pity it did not work out,” Rosberg said. “It’s been very intense, a very special weekend for me.”

Brazilian driver Felipe Massa crossed the line in second place ahead of his Williams teammate Valtteri Bottas, while Red Bull’s Daniel Ricciardo drove superbly to finish fourth despite starting from the back of the grid alongside teammate Sebastian Vettel, who finished eighth.

In total, Hamilton scored 384 points, with Rosberg notching 317 and Ricciardo third with 238.

Although it was a onesided race, the season was a welcome drivers’ contest after Vettel beat Fernando Alonso by 155 points last year. Mercedes, however, crushed the competition out of sight, winning 16 of 19 races and securing 18 poles.

“We said way back in 1997 that it would be amazing if we were fighting for the title one day,” Hamilton said.

“He just came into the room just now, he was very professional. He said ‘Fantastic, you drove really well.’”
