Railroad loop proposed Cedar Grove and other businesses want to turn part of Smith Island into a terminal to help transport compost.

By Chris Winters Herald Writer

EVERETT — A group of businesses including Cedar Grove Composting are proposing to

build a short line rail loop on Everett’s Smith Island.

The plan submitted to the city of Everett calls for turning part of the island into a 61-acre railroad terminal with a 1.8 mile-long

loop track connected to the BNSF mainline.

The terminal, a $7 million to $8 million project, will be overseen by an entity called Smith Island Terminal LLC, which is a partnership between Cedar Grove, Concrete Nor’west, Northwest Construction Inc. and other local property owners.

Freight trains could pull off the main line and onto the loop track, load up with compost, then head to a switching yard such as BNSF Railway Co.’s Delta Yard in northeast Everett.

There, they could tie up to longer trains heading east over the See LOOP, Page A2

his work, church steward Genie Paul told those who gathered.

More than 50 years have passed since King gave his iconic “I Have a Dream” speech.

“It’s wonderful to see you, each and every one of you,” Paul said. “I want you to know this is an important day at Bailey and across the country.”

LYNNWOOD — A small stretch of Highway 99 in Lynnwood is the scene of a quiet, cordial conflict between wetland preservation and business promotion.

The disagreement involves two billboards, a 28-year-old document and a 99.8 percent discount on a city contract.

The city won’t cut back trees and bushes that are partially obscuring the two billboards, which are located in the urban wetland just south of 168th Street SW. Under the city’s contract with Clear Channel, which owns the billboards, the growth of vegetation around the signs reduces the company’s annual rent for both signs to $5.

Normally, the tab would be $2,500.

The 1987 contract was negotiated between two parties no longer remotely involved in the matter. After 15 years, it automatically renewed.

The city inherited the contract when it bought the property from a Seattle real estate company in the fall of 1998. Lynnwood bought the property with the goal of protecting the wetland and improving flood management, said Jared Bond, the city’s environmental and surface water supervisor. A Seattle television company that owned the billboards then was purchased by Clear Channel in the early 2000s.

In the 1990s, the city also had planted trees in a grassy strip between the sidewalk and the road. That was done to meet state environmental rules for a project that widened Highway 99, Bond said.

Since then, the trees and the wetland have grown, making the billboards less visible, said Pam Guinn, branch president of the Washington division of Clear Channel Outdoor.

“Both of those things have added to the obstruction,” she said. “The sign is not entirely within view.”

EVERETT — Dreams always will take courage, even after the fears of children become the anxieties of adults, the Rev. W. Eugene Square Sr. said Sunday.

Children get scared at night, but for adults, he said, “the shadows on the wall don’t disappear at dawn.” Courage — and

faith — are what overcome fear, he said.

“It’s not too late for tomorrow’s dream to become today’s courage,” he said.

Square presided over the Sunday service honoring Martin Luther King, Jr., at Bailey African Methodist Episcopal Church on 12th Street in Everett. About 20 people attended.

mountains, where there is a ready market for compost in Washington’s burgeoning wine industry.

“Cost-effectively, we can’t get it there in bulk by truck,” said John Brigham, a senior vice president for Cedar Grove.

The company would still bring in organic waste by truck from local households and communities, and isn’t planning to increase its overall capacity on Smith Island, he said.

Cedar Grove has had a different problem: too much compost piling up on site and not enough places to sell it, especially during the recession.

The company processed 134,000 tons of compost at its Everett facility in 2014, even after it ended its contract with the city of Seattle in April. It was only in 2014 that it was able to once again sell as much compost as it took in organic waste, Brigham said.

In addition to the wine industry, compost can be used to clean up soil contaminated with petroleum. There is a lot of that in Montana, Brigham added.

Mark Wolken, a consultant and former commissioner of the Port of Everett with ties to the waste industry, said Cedar Grove had for years considered bringing rails to its Smith Island facility. The idea only picked up momentum in recent years after the company abandoned plans for an anaerobic digester and needed to find new markets for compost, most of which were out of the area.

“There’s a demand to be met if you can get it there efficiently,” he said.

Most of Cedar Grove’s current customers are local, Brigham said.

“The majority of what we sell still goes into someone’s back yard or it goes to building or condominium developments,” he said.

Making the rail terminal financially feasible is complicated.

One key element of the proposal is to operate the rail loop as a common

200 billboards in Snohomish County, Guinn said. Most of those billboards are on private property, not public.

Meanwhile, the wetland provides the headwaters for the floodprone Scriber Creek, which runs to Scriber Lake and continues toward Brier.

There hasn’t been any study showing the billboards have a negative effect on the healthy wetland, though their lights may affect wildlife, Bond said.

Clear Channel was billed $5 for the lease in 2013 and again in November, city documents show.

The contract says that the rent may be reduced to $5 if there is any obstruction of the signs.

The reduction lasts “so long as such obstruction continues,” the contract says.

The arrangement is unusual for Lynnwood, too, city spokeswoman Julie Moore said.

“I’m not aware of any long-term contracts of a similar nature,” she said. “This seems to be a unique situation.”

Neither Everett nor Marysville has contracts with businesses regarding

carrier, meaning it could be used by anyone willing to pay.

The other key element is to build an underpass to replace the current atgrade rail crossing that trucks use to get to the island from Highway 529.

The underpass would account for more than half of the project’s costs, Wolken said.

But it was important to Concrete Nor’west, because while the company doesn’t have much use for freight rail service, its trucks were getting delayed by trains at the crossing, said Dan Cox, the company’s land use manager.

Concrete Nor’west trucks in its gravel from its operations in Granite Falls, Skagit County and elsewhere, and ships out concrete in mixer trucks to local destinations.

With rail traffic projected to increase in the coming years with more oil and coal trains heading to shipping terminals north of Everett, those delays will only get worse, Cox said.

“When the trains are there, we can’t get in or out

billboards. Everett counts about 70 billboards in city limits, while Marysville has more than two dozen, officials said.

Marysville “used to have one on city property through a lease to a billboard company, but that contract expired and we removed the billboard,” city administrator Gloria Hirashima said.

Lynnwood’s contract now runs through Jan. 6, 2017. If the city doesn’t take any action before Dec. 7, 2016, the contract automatically renews for another 15 years, Moore said.

The contract predated modern environmental regulation and wetland protection efforts, Bond said.

Lynnwood first started identifying and protecting critical areas in the early 1990s, he said. The city’s first ordinance to protect environmentally sensitive areas was passed in 1992.

Clear Channel’s request for some pruning prompted a “very friendly discussion,” Guinn said.

“It was all very cordial,” she said. “(City staff) really were unable to accommodate anything being changed.”

The city doesn’t do any vegetation management in the wetland, Bond said.

“We’re trying to just let it be a wetland, let the trees grow, let it do what it wants to do,” he said.

Comment period The Everett Planning Department is soliciting comments on a plan by Smith Island Terminal LLC to build a rail loop on the island.

The city of Everett has approved the plan subject to certain environmental conditions, and must receive comments by Jan. 23.

In addition, the developer has applied for a shoreline permit, and the comment on Smith Island.

There’s another key point Wolken hastens to add: the Smith Island Terminal will not be able to handle coal, oil or other petroleum products, because the island doesn’t have deep water access for tanker ships.

But, he added, he’d received interest from Miller Shingle Co., which has a log yard on the island, and which could use the rail to receive more cut logs from lumber companies before processing and floating them out to waiting ships.

The opening hymn, “Precious Lord, Take My Hand,” was known to be a favorite of King’s. Family members helped each other find the right pages in hymnals with faded covers and torn bindings. Some sang from memory. A mother shushed her young son to be still.

Scholars say the song addresses the helplessness King must have felt in the face of threats, Celia Square said. The song is about perseverance and hope, she said.

Folk singer Volkert Volkersz had a sore throat, so the parishioners joined him for Bob Dylan’s “Blowin’ in the Wind.” Bellas also sang “Bridge Over Troubled Water” by Paul Simon.

Volkersz shared a song he could finish writing only after the heartbreak of the October shooting at Marysville Pilchuck High School. The song, “Too Much Anger,” urges listeners to choose love — over anger, over judging others and over violence.

The Rev. Square prayed for God to take from people what gets in the way of their finding peace and accord.

“So that we all may be of one heart and one soul,” he said.

Everyone faces

challenging and discouraging situations, Square said.

He knows some people, even those in his audience, may have troubled hearts, problems in their marriages or with money.

It takes courage to shed the problems and mistakes of the past and to dream again, he said.

Despite pain and affliction, people must look for peace, no matter their race, gender, income or religion,

Square said.

Because of King, society is “further along than if he had not dared to dream,” Square said.

The civil rights leader, who was assassinated in 1968, “brought significant changes to the fabric of American life,” Square said.

He gave black people and poor people hope and a sense of direction, Square said.

That, too, took courage.

The terminal could also be used as a staging yard for other imported goods such as automobiles, construction steel or pipe or other dry cargo coming through the Port of Everett.

That cargo otherwise would have to go down to Seattle to get loaded onto rail cars.

Consequently, that could mean an increase in business for the Port of Everett, as shipping companies would have another place to offload their cargo near a rail terminal.

of our plant,” Cox said.

Ready-mix concrete, he said, is a perishable product. “It’s got a shelf life sitting in the truck,” he added.

The terminal project would fill in 13.7 acres of wetlands that are in the upland portion of the island and replace them with about 15.5 acres of tidal salt marsh along Steamboat and Union Sloughs.

That’s actually an improvement, because the upland wetlands being replaced aren’t as amenable to salmon, said Allan Giffen, Everett’s planning director.

“The habitat they are creating is higher quality than the habitat they are impacting, especially for fish habitat” Giffen said.

A traffic study conducted by Transportation Solutions Inc. for the city found that the addition of the terminal would likely nearly double truck traffic to Cedar Grove’s facility, but that the trips generated would be spread throughout the day, and traffic impacts would mostly be confined to the local road network

4-year term possible for robbery conviction William Broady, 19, of Marysville, was on probation when he and a 17-year-old held up a Safeway store in Everett.

By Diana Hefley Herald Writer

EVERETT — A Marysville man is facing up to four years in prison for trying to shoplift alcohol from an Everett Safeway while armed with a pellet gun.

A Snohomish County jury needed less than an hour last

week to convict William Broady, 19, of first-degree robbery.

Broady racked up numerous convictions as a juvenile. This is his first felony conviction as an adult. He is scheduled to be sentenced next month.

His 17-year-old buddy, who helped in the heist, pleaded guilty to second-degree robbery in

juvenile court. He was on probation at the time for stealing booze from Target and assaulting the store security guards who tried to stop him.

The June 27 robbery happened outside the Safeway in the 11000 block of 19th Avenue SE in south Everett. Grocery stores, such as Safeway, started selling hard alcohol in 2012 after voters approved privatization of liquor sales.

The store manager was

monitoring security cameras and spotted two young men take three bottles of alcohol off a shelf and hide them under their clothes.

The manager confronted the teens at the exit and extended his arms in an attempt to stop them.

Broady said, “Don’t make me shoot you, fool.”

The teens ran out and the manager followed. Broady turned around and was holding what appeared to be a semiautomatic handgun. The manager, fearing for

his life, backed off and called 911.

Everett police officers already were in the area and chased after the teens. The officers found three bottles of liquor and a pellet gun near where they caught the suspects.

Broady repeatedly asked what he was going to be charged with.

When the police told him robbery he said, “I didn’t pull out the gun in Safeway,” and “It is not against the law to go into a store with a gun.”

Sierra Price is doing all she can to help Marysville Pilchuck High students “going through the roller coaster of emotions” from the Oct. 24 shootings.

A calming voice on campus MPHS senior Sierra Price helps fellow students move past tragedy

By Chris Winters Herald Writer

MARYSVILLE — Sierra Price, 18, is a senior at Marysville Pilchuck High School. As president of the school’s Associated Student Body, she delivered a welcome speech to students returning to the first day of classes a week after the Oct. 24 cafeteria shootings.

Question: How did it come about that you’d deliver a speech on the first day back in school, and how did you approach it?

Answer: I think my adviser contacted me first. We needed to get the ASB leadership class together to decide how we would move forward from the tragedy. We met at Bob’s Burgers and we decided how we would make the environment of the gymnasium one that was welcoming and where students would feel safe. We decided on a shortened day so we would get to school later. That would get us time to set up and make sure we would be prepared.

I knew (Assistant Principal

Deann) Anguiano would be providing lunch for the students.

We welcomed them back with hot chocolate and doughnuts and things like that. To relieve some of the tension we had the students do small group activities and we had a motivational speaker, Mike Smith. I spoke before him.

Q: How did you compose your speech?

A: It was a difficult speech to write because at the beginning of the year I was trying to promote acceptance and for

students to be unique, to not be afraid to express who they were.

I knew that they weren’t feeling that, so I decided to relate to that by saying, “We are all going through the roller coaster of emotions and we all have to be there for each other as we move forward.” And I knew that it was going to take long time. Everyone had their own timeline.

City Council OKs Stanwood disc golf park

By Kari Bray Herald Writer

STANWOOD — Plans for a new disc golf course at Church Creek Park are moving forward after the City Council approved a $6,000 request for the project.

It’s part of an ongoing effort to clean up the park at 27116 72nd Ave. NW, where police and

neighbors have faced problems with vandalism and drug use.

Five local disc golfers who make up the Stanwood Disc Golf Volunteer Group crafted plans for a 9-hole course. It would wind through some of the wooded area in the 16.5-acre park. They pitched their idea to the council Jan. 8.

You’re driving down the road late at night, and the signal in front of you turns yellow. You slow and stop. Then you notice that the cross street, just given the green, is a veritable ghost town.

Not even a glimmer of headlights.

Oh, come on!

If you’ve ever been in that situation, you’ll sympathize with our next Q-and-A reader.

Michael Standing Wolf, of Arlington, asks: Why is Highway 9 given the priority at Highway 530 in Arlington? A lot of people eastbound on 530 turn left onto northbound Highway 9 after 11 p.m. If you are in a stretched out stream of cars and late to the light, the signal will change against you, even if there are no other cars in the vicinity. Very frustrating!

Tom Pearce, of the state Department of Transportation, responds: Our signal operations engineers reviewed the intersection in late December to make sure everything is functioning as it should. Based on what the reader described, we also modified the operation so that during off-peak overnight hours, the signal will remain green for whatever direction last had traffic on it. If traffic is heavier on Highway 530 than on Highway 9, it should stay green for Highway 530 more consistently.

Gordon Stewart

April 6, 1937-Jan. 6, 2015 Our beloved father, Gordon L e e S tewa r t , 77 , p a s s e d away January 6, 2015 due to complications after Esophagus Cancer surgery.

Gordy, as he was known, was born April 6, 1937 in W h i t t i e r, C a l i f . t o A l v a Gorden and James Lee Stewar t. His parents later divorced and Gordy was raised by his stepfather Allan MacKay. In 1955, after graduating h i g h s c h o o l i n Wo o d l a n d Hills, Calif., Gordy joined the Navy. It was during this time he married first wife Lois Holt in January 1957. They had two children in this marriage, daughter Connie, born in 1957 and died in 2 0 0 3 , a n d s o n To ny L e e b o r n i n 19 6 0 . T h ey l a te r divorced.

Af ter the Navy Gordy married a second time to Phyllis Dudley Brink on September 4, 1965 and he became father to her three girls Jo, Barbara, and Karel.

And in December 1967 they became parents to son Gaylon Lee. Sadly Phyllis p a s s e d aw ay i n 2 0 0 9 o f cancer.

In 1965 Gordy was a long haul truck driver on the West Coast, but with his new family wanted to be closer to h o m e . H e g ot a j o b w i t h Au b u r n Lu m b e r C o mp a ny and then Associated Sand and Gravel, and was there until retirement.

In 1965 Gordy realized his dream of auto racing. He raced all over the Northwest, Idaho, Ore., Calif. and competed at the top of the field. He raced locally at Sky Va l l ey, S ka g i t , E l m a , a n d Monroe, pavement and dirt.

One of his biggest wins was t h e I n te r n a t i o n a l D r i ve r s Challenge in 1972. Many wins, championships and longtime friends later, Gordy was most proud that his son Gaylon followed in his racing footsteps. Gordy retired from racing 2009/10 and continued to travel to races during the summer with buddy Dora Syrdal.

Gordy is survived by children, Jo Rhodes and husband Ken, Barbara Jacobs, Tony Stewart, Karel Schloe and husband Doug, and Gaylon Stewart and wife Carla. He was a very proud g r a n d fa t h e r o f M a n d y, Denny, Stephanie, Kailynn, Rachel, Heather, and Colton.

the shootings?

A: I think it depends who you ask. I know the freshmen have been affected the most because they knew the victims.

They’re still not healed or “over it,” and they still face depression. And the students who were in the cafeteria — it’s not always visible, but there are triggers. For example, at assemblies we don’t do balloons, in case someone pops them.

We also had to decide what to do about the memorial fence. We left it up for a couple of weeks, and then we decided as a community and student body to take down the fence, and take down the posters around the school and in the gym, just to help the students move on. Because we don’t want a constant reminder.

We wanted the students involved so they could decide how to do it. We didn’t want the adults to do it overnight.

Q: Aside from student government, what else keeps you busy at school?

A: In the fall I ran crosscountry. I love the kids on the team. Really downto-earth and accepting. I also take AP Calculus and AP Literature. I also play tennis and was captain on varsity last year. I’m going to play again this year. I used to play Select Soccer,

two-second rule needs to be learned by all of these rude, dangerous drivers.”

“Tail-gating” as a term to mean following another vehicle too closely has been around for awhile, with the term being referenced by truckers in a Popular Science article in 1952, for example. Following a large vehicle too closely can put you in their blind spot.

The current advice for dealing with tailgaters urges you to just let the offender by when there’s a chance.

From the state Driver’s Guide: “If you are being followed too closely and there is a right lane, move over to the right. If there is no right lane, wait until the road ahead is clear then reduce speed slowly.

This will encourage the tailgater to drive around you. Never slow down quickly to discourage a tailgater. Doing that increases your risk of being hit from behind.”

Trooper Mark Francis of the Washington State Patrol adds this: “If there is a safe shoulder, you can pull over to the right and stop on the shoulder to let the car pass. Also, drivers need to remember there is no minimum speed law in Washington; however, once you get a line of five cars behind you, you are impeding traffic.”

These aren’t very satisfying answers for drivers like Gail and myself, however. So,

T o m C l a p p , 5 3 o f Marysville passed away on January 13, 2015 following a short battle with lung cancer.

Tom was an outstanding friend to many and despite his lifetime struggle with cerebral palsy was generous and kind to all. He was always willing to share what he had.

To m w a s p r e c e d e d i n d e a t h by h i s m ot h e r a n d s te p - fa t h e r, T h e r e s a a n d Jack Scofield.

He leaves his father, Jerry of Arizona; sisters, Kathleen of Seattle, Patty of Marysville; brother, Steve of Sunnyside, Washington. He also leaves four nephews, two great nephews and a great niece.

A Celebration of Life will be held in February with details to be announced later.

The family would like to thank the doctors and nurses on floor 7A Providence Colby Campus for the wonder ful care of Tom.

but I got a really bad concussion and I didn’t want to get another one.

Q: Any other activities of note?

A: I was homecoming queen this year as well.

That was a big accomplishment because I didn’t expect that. That was also an interesting experience because that was the only contact I’d had with Jaylen Fryberg (who was the freshman homecoming prince). It’s disappointing because those memories are a combination of happiness and shock.

Q: What do you what to study in college?

A: I want to study biochemistry, in particular pathology. I think studying diseases is particularly interesting because my brother has tubular aggregate myopathy. It was an 11-year diagnosis, that’s how rare it is. It’s affects your whole body. If your muscle tears, it can’t heal. He can’t run, he can only walk. Usually it only occurs in people 40 years old and up. He’s 22, in graduate school at University of San Francisco.

Q: How did you get interested in medicine?

A: I took AP biology as a sophomore. I was top of the class, I did really well and also enjoyed it. I missed my biology book when I turned it in because I really enjoyed reading it. It helps that I have a passion for it.

It kind of gave me a direction.

Gail, I’ll add this advice: Try a bumper sticker.

It’s better than the other “reminder” you could give a driver, anyway — the one involving a certain finger.

Two-second rule?

So, how much space should we leave between our vehicle and the one in front of us?

Turns out “the twosecond rule” isn’t the only answer. At 30 mph or slower, two to three seconds is probably enough.

At higher speeds, it switches to the four-second rule.

To find out what kind of space you’re leaving, pick a landmark. When the rear of the vehicle in front of you passes it, start counting.

Stop counting when the front of your car reaches the landmark.

Leave more space as common sense dictates — in poor weather, or when you’re in a semi’s blind spot, to name just a couple.

There’s another rule of thumb that talks about leaving one car length of space for every 10 miles of speed used, but this has more to do with how far to merge in front of a large truck or commercial vehicle.

Quick response to reader’s concern Marilyn de Soto of Snohomish noted a problem on 180th Street SE between 35th Avenue SE and Sunset Road, just east of Mill Creek in unincorporated Snohomish County.

“There are no lines on the shoulder where signs caution ‘dropoff’; also the middle line is not complete,” she said. “A lot of road work has been done here with tearing up, then repaving, but it appears that it is not complete.”

She said she hoped the lines would be painted soon. “This can be a foggy area and difficult to see, especially at night and in rainy and foggy weather.”

Owen Carter, Snohomish County’s deputy director of Public Works and the county engineer, had this to say: “I want to thank you, Marilyn, for bringing this to our attention. This roadway was

Q: Are you drawn more toward research or treatment?

A: That’s my struggle.

I find research fascinating but I also like to work with people. I thought about anesthesiology for a while because then I’d be with the patients before during and after surgery, and that’s a difficult position for them to be in. I would like to be one of those doctors that looks at patients as people rather than just another patient.

Especially because when my brother was going through his diagnosis he had to deal with a lot of inconsiderate health care professionals.

Q: What is your philosophy or inspiration in life?

A: My outlook is pretty much—this might sound cliched—you only have one life so it’s best to improve yourself every day. That includes being nice to people and trying to be someone other people can look up to.

With my health and my opportunities, being able to receive an education, I need to be the best I can because I know that, because my brother is really successful in college, I can also do a lot with my life. So I need to be the best version of myself I can be: trying to do well in school, staying healthy by exercising, and being kind and compassionate to other people.

scheduled to be striped last fall; unfortunately the weather changed prior to getting the work done so it was delayed until next spring. However I have asked my staff to watch for a day when the roadway is dry and the temperature is acceptable and have the roadway striped then.

Thank you again for notifying us about this issue.”

The weather cleared, and on Jan. 14 crews put up reflective stakes and painted the stripes. The quick changes didn’t go unnoticed.

“Yeah! Thanks to you, Street Smarts, and the county for this safety measure,” de Soto said.

Have your say on toll rates Want to have a say on toll rates for the future I-405 HOT lanes coming this fall?

The Washington State Transportation Commission meets Jan. 21-22 and toll rates on I-405 are among the planned discussions. The meeting starts 9 a.m. Jan. 21, and 8:30 a.m.

Jan. 22, at the Transportation Building, 310 Maple Park Ave. SE, on the Capitol Campus in Olympia. This meeting is open to the public and public comment periods are at 4:45 p.m. Jan. 21, and at noon Jan. 22.

The commission will likely release its toll rate proposal in February, at which time it will launch a full public review and input process, prior to making any final decisions on policies or rates.

Proposals batted around so far include defining a carpool as at least three people during peak hours and charging variable toll rates based on traffic volume, from 75 cents to $15, although usually no more than $4.

Express toll lanes will run from Lynnwood to Bellevue. Camera equipment already is up for testing.

Suspects released in terror probe Associated Press PARIS — French police released three female suspects from questioning, but will keep nine other people in custody as part of an anti-terror investigation connected to last week’s attacks in Paris that have put Europe on high alert, officials said Sunday.

Amid the heightened European vigilance, a far-right rally in Germany planned for Monday was cancelled over a terrorism threat, Italy said it had expelled nine suspected jihadis since late December and Britain’s home secretary called for new action to fight anti-Semitism in the wake of the Paris attacks.

Police in at least four European countries arrested dozens of suspects in recent days in an anti-terrorism crackdown sparked by last week’s bloody rampage in and around Paris.

Brothers Said and Cherif Kouachi and their friend, Amedy Coulibaly, killed 17 people at the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo, a kosher grocery and elsewhere.

In Paris, prosecutor’s office spokesman Denis Fauriat said nine suspects among a total 12 rounded up on Friday were facing extended interrogations for the next two days, a step allowed under tough French anti-terror laws enacted largely after bombings and other terrorism years ago in France.

Fallout from the Paris attacks has spread. Demonstrations in support of the slain Charlie Hebdo journalists have been held in countries from the United States to Brazil, and violent protests against the magazine’s depictions of the Prophet Muhammad have taken place in Niger, Pakistan and Algeria — countries with large Muslim populations.

Niger’s president said Saturday that at least 10 people were killed in violent protests in the West African nation over Charlie Hebdo’s depiction of the Prophet Muhammad.

The satirical weekly has long antagonized Muslims with its depictions of the prophet, and its cover cartoon published Wednesday depicted Muhammad holding a “Je Suis Charlie” — I am Charlie — sign.

Clinton offered an economic agenda

By Ken Thomas Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Inside the Democratic Party, economic policy is often seen as a contest between President Barack Obama’s track record and the anti-Wall Street approach advocated by Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren.

As Hillary Rodham Clinton heads for an expected 2016 run for president, her allies are pointing her toward something in-between.

A group of Clinton advisers offered a detailed economic agenda last week that aims to help raise wages for millions of workers and close the gap between rich and poor. The policy road map was produced at the Center for American Progress, a Washington-based think tank stocked with veterans of the Bill Clinton and Obama administrations. It appeared to target those who are disenchanted with Obama and skeptical that Clinton effectively would police Wall Street

and champion middle-class workers.

“While there are large forces, globalization, technology and more, that are creating large challenges for many workers, there is no excuse or intellectual basis for fatalism,” said Larry Summers, one of its authors and a former treasury secretary under President Bill Clinton who later worked for Obama.

The subject is clearly on Hillary Clinton’s mind. In her first tweet in more than a month, she posted this Friday: “Attacking financial reform is risky and wrong. Better for Congress to focus on jobs and wages for middle-class families.”

Campaigning for Democrats last fall, she often spoke of the need to return to an economic system of broadly shared prosperity.

That goal has eluded Obama, even though he is able to point to a rebounding economy, falling unemployment rates and lower gas prices. Obama, in Tuesday’s State of the

Union, plans to propose raising the capital gains rate on the wealthy and eliminating a tax break on inheritances.

The plan is a nonstarter with Republicans, but Obama will make the case for using the additional revenue for new tax credits and other benefits for the middle class.

Warren, in a speech this month to the AFL-CIO, said that despite stronger economic growth and a soaring stock market, “America’s middle class is in deep trouble.”

Liberals say the problem of stagnant wages require urgent action.

“We need to be extremely aggressive to deal with income and wealth inequality,” said Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, an independent who may seek the Democratic presidential nomination.

Republicans such as Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney are beginning to articulate their own agenda for addressing income inequality, reflecting an expected argument that Obama’s policies have not helped millions of workers.

Pope draws millions in Manila

The Hartford Courant

Mass die-offs of hundreds — sometimes hundreds of thousands — of fish, birds and other animals appear to be increasing in both frequency and in the numbers of individuals involved, according to a new study.

The report found that disease and human-related activities were the top killers in more than 700 “mass mortality events” since 1940 that were studied. The report included looks at lethal episodes that affected 2,407 different animal populations.

The research did not include the 1999 mass die-off of lobsters in Long Island Sound, but the apparent causes of that deadly event were similar to those cited by the report in many of the other cases of mass deaths.

The 1999 die-off almost wiped out lobsters in most areas of the Sound, and the population still hasn’t recovered.

Scientists believe increasing water temperatures from global warming made cold-water-loving lobsters more vulnerable to disease, manmade pollution and pesticides, all factors listed as

Teens on alleged crime spree nabbed

Two teenage Kentucky sweethearts suspected in a crime spree of stolen vehicles and pilfered checks across the U.S. South have been taken into custody in Florida, authorities said Sunday.

Eighteen-year-old Dalton Hayes and his 13-year-old girlfriend, Cheyenne Phillips, were arrested without incident about 12:10 a.m. Sunday in Panama City Beach, according to authorities in both states. The two had eluded police in multiple states while raising concern about their increasingly bold behavior.

“I spoke to Dalton and he was very scared, and he wanted to come home,” said Norman Chaffins, the sheriff of Grayson County, Kentucky, where the teens live. “He wanted me to come bring him home.”

Pa.: Icy roads deadly Several multi-car pileups — including one involving dozens of vehicles — in icy conditions on interstates in the Philadelphia area claimed at least four lives and injured dozens Sunday as hundreds of crashes were reported across eastern Pennsylvania, authorities said. State police in Philadelphia said Eric Blau, 31, of Philadelphia, was killed when he got out of his disabled vehicle on I-76 at about 6:40 a.m. Sunday and was hit by another vehicle. Officials said his vehicle was one of the first struck in a series of crashes that involved about 60 vehicles on the icy roadway, injuring about 30 people, and closed the highway for much of the day.

Fla.: Selfie controversy What started as a selfie with several Miss Universe contestants on a tour of South Florida has blown into a political storm. Miss Lebanon, Saly Greige, is facing backlash back home after she posed for a picture snapped by Miss Israel, Doron Matalon, according to the Beirutbased Daily Star. Matalon posted the photo to Instagram on Jan. 11 of herself next to Greige, along with Miss Slovenia and Miss Japan. The picture shows the four smiling beauty queens in Miami with the caption “Good morning from us!” But it wasn’t long before the Lebanese contestant started feeling the heat for posing with the Israeli contestant.

Study: Mass die-offs of animals increasing

By Gregory B. Hladky

ACROSS THE U.S.

critical elements in mass mortality cases in the new report.

Samuel Fey, the Yale University biologist who co-authored the research study, said the apparently growing numbers involved in such mass die-offs are one of the chief concerns to come out of the study, published in the Jan. 12 issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

“That was the single biggest surprise for us,” Fey said. “It was a big red flag for us.”

Scientists from Dartmouth College, the University of San Diego, the University of California, and Southern Illinois University also participated in the research project.

Fey said he and the other researchers had expected to see a decline in the average numbers of fishes, birds and mammals killed in mass mortality events. They initially assumed that overall averages would drop because so many more die-offs have been studied and reported on in recent years than in past decades.

Instead, they discovered the numbers of individual members of species dying in such mass events seem to have been continually rising for birds, fish and marine invertebrates, such as sea urchins and

lobsters.

There is some good news included in the study’s results: those mass die-off numbers for individual mammal species appear to be holding steady, while the death tallies for amphibians and reptiles seems to be declining.

Fey noted that far more mass mortality cases have occurred across the globe since 1940 than were covered by the new report. The study was limited to only those events that triggered papers published in scientific journals.

He said more comprehensive studies are needed to get an accurate picture of what’s happening with mass die-offs.

Fey said only about 9 percent of scientific papers on mass mortality events reviewed for the study mentioned how a particular die-off affected a species’ overall population.

Fey, 30, has a doctorate in ecology and evolutionary biology from Dartmouth College.

He is currently a postdoctoral fellow in the Yale department of ecology and evolutionary biology.

Mass mortality events, where large numbers of an individual species die over a relatively short period, are different from extinctions. But major die-offs

can virtually wipe out a species in a specific locale.

Fey said one example was the 1983 event that resulted in an estimated 99 percent of a particular species of sea urchin (Diadema antillarum), being eradicated from the Caribbean Sea. Experts believe that event was caused by a water-borne disease.

In 1988, a virus outbreak in Siberia among Baikal seals, the only freshwater seal species in the world, killed tens of thousands of the seals in Lake Baikal, Fey said. Experts believe there are fewer than 85,000 of those seals remaining, according to the Seal Conservation Society.

The new study found that disease was listed as the cause in 26 percent of mass die-offs.

Human activity, primarily pollution, was found to be the primary trigger for 19 percent of big mortality events, while biotoxicity, such as harmful algae blooms, was cited as the third leading cause at 15.6 percent.

Even biotoxicity events can be related to human activities, such as fertilizers that are washed into streams and rivers and estuaries like Long Island Sound, where they can lead to dangerous algae blooms.

Montana officials said Sunday that an oil pipeline breach spilled up to 50,000 gallons of oil into the Yellowstone River near Glendive, Montana, but they said they are unaware of any threats to public safety or health. The Bridger Pipeline Co. said the spill occurred about 10 a.m. Saturday. The initial estimate is that up to 1,200 barrels of oil spilled, the company said Sunday. Some of the oil did get into the water, but the area where it spilled was frozen over and that could help reduce the impact, said Dave Parker, a spokesman for Gov. Steve Bullock.

AROUND THE WORLD U.N.: Defector changes story A prominent North Korean defector who fled a prison camp and became the face of international efforts to hold the country accountable for widespread human-rights abuses has changed important parts of his life story. Author Blaine Harden said in a statement on his website that he has pressed Shin Dong-Hyuk to “explain why he had misled me” during interviews for Harden’s book on Shin, “Escape from Camp 14.”

North Korea tried to discredit Shin as it fought a U.N. General Assembly resolution that backed the findings of a groundbreaking U.N. commission of inquiry into Pyongyang’s human rights abuses.

India: Hindu-Muslim clash At least three Muslim villagers were burned to death Sunday when their thatched huts were set on fire during a clash between Hindu and Muslim groups in eastern India, a government official said. Atul Prasad, a Bihar state administrator, said the violence erupted after the body of a young Hindu boy was found in Sarayian village more than a week after he went missing. Prasad said Hindu fishermen blamed Muslims for killing the boy who was friendly with a Muslim girl from the village,65 miles) north of Patna, the capital of Bihar state. The charred bodies of three Muslims were found in the burned huts in the poor community, he said. Police arrested eight Hindu men, and Prasad said the situation remains tense but under control in the village.

Real estate pros assess area rental market

By Marci Dehm The Herald Business Journal

Commercial and residential rental rates have been strong in the Puget Sound region over the last year.

But can that trend continue?

And what about Snohomish County in particular?

Brent Jackson, vice president of the brokerage group Jones Lang LaSalle in Seattle, works primarily in the industrial commercial lease and sale market. He knows the Snohomish County market, well, particularly those areas around Lynnwood and in the Seaway industrial zone in Everett.

“Over the last two to three years, the general trend for industrial space in the north end market has been in a positive direction,” Jackson said. “It has moved to lower vacancy rates and more demand and more deals getting done as well as the resultant increase in rental rates.”

Unless there is an unforeseen downturn in the aerospace market or the general economy, Jackson believes the Snohomish County industrial rental market is in pretty good shape for quite a while.

A key move in this industry occurred in April 2014 when Boeing signed leases on nearly 300,000 square feet of office space in Bothell in order to house those office workers displaced when old buildings were torn down to begin construction on Everett’s new wing plant.

“Obviously it was a great boon for Bothell,” Jackson said. “Most of those leases are for three to five years so there is a little bit of speculation as to what they might do at the end of those lease terms.”

Prior to Boeing’s move, there had been a number of spaces in the 20,000- to 50,000-square-foot range that had been sitting vacant on the market for quite a while.

Suddenly the majority of those spaces were leased, creating an extremely tight local market from a vacancies standpoint.

“At the end of the third quarter, our metrics that we track indicate about 5.5 percent vacancy, which is very low,” Jackson said. “What we are seeing, going into 2015, is that people who want to lease space in that market are going to have a challenge in finding good quality, modern, reasonably priced space.”

The lack of alternatives may force tenants searching for properties in the Woodinville, Bothell, Lynnwood and Everett areas to look further north. That could be good news for north Snohomish County.

Another area of the rental market that has been abuzz is the multifamily housing or apartment

Workers add floors to an apartment building under construction at Rucker and Hewitt avenues in Everett. Some 1,300 apartments are expected to be added in Snohomish County in 2015.

rental market. The recently reported apartment vacancy rate for the Puget Sound region is 3.8 percent, up only minimally from the 3.6 percent vacancy rate reported for spring 2014. Rents rose 4.7 percent over the past six months and are 8.2 percent higher than they were a year ago.

On the surface, these figures from the Apartment Vacancy Report appear to paint a rosy picture for the industry. But these rent averages are likely to be skewed.

Online real estate database Zillow pointed out in a recent article that the increase in new construction has resulted in premium units that can be rented for a higher price.

Patty Dupre, a principal with Dupre + Scott, noted the same in a recent press release, referring to it as “the skew of the new.”

New units simply rent for more money and this distorts overall rent trends.

To better understand the apartment market, it has to be examined in depth. Matthew Gardner, an economist and principal at Gardner Economics in Seattle, has been analyzing the actual stability of the market.

Apartments have been strong, he explained, because when the post-recession credit market

began to thaw, the only asset class that banks would touch were apartments. This spurred on developers, especially in the urban areas that had a high demand for residential rental units.

“I think in general we are going to see some stress occurring in the greater Seattle market in the next couple of years purely because we are bringing on a lot of new product,” Gardner said.

He believes Snohomish County should not be significantly touched by such stress because it has a lower development rate. About 1,300 new units are scheduled to come online for Snohomish County in 2015. King County, by contrast, is seeing a projected number of more than 10,000 new units to open next year.

In all, Gardner thinks the apartment market is very buoyant.

There are a lot of companies out there looking to develop and a lot of companies looking to acquire those apartment developments.

He believes next year is going to be the same but with a tapering of the rapid growth in rents that has been seen over the last few years.

There is one segment of the residential rental market that is not tracked by any agency. For

that reason, any facts or figures on the health of the single family residential rental market have to be anecdotal.

The sales inventory for singlefamily homes is still low, which could indicate that fewer people are able to buy homes to convert into residential rental properties.

In fact, there may be a trend in the opposite direction.

“It’s an interesting dynamic right now,” said Everett attorney Rob Trickler, president of the Washington Rental Owners Association, All County Evictions and the Landlord Law Group.

He has seen a number of landlords sell their residential rental properties in response to the demand for single-family homes.

Many were reluctant landlords to begin with, only renting the properties in order to hang on to them until they had recouped some of their pre-recession value.

These homes are likely to be converted back into primary residences rather than remain in the rental market. That is not to say that there are not buyers out there looking for an investment property.

“Folks who are buying up rentals are typically well-suited landlords that are now taking

advantage of the market turning around to the point where they can get financing and they’re buying stuff that is relatively cheap or foreclosures,” Trickler said.

Nevertheless, Trickler is not seeing the kind of rental action he would expect in the county. It’s still financially challenging for many local landlords and some seem reluctant to pull the trigger on difficult tenants even with a low vacancy rate as a safety net.

He also is seeing a reaction in the underside of this market – a room rental trend. This can be people renting a single room in their homes to try and help with the bills, taking in a roommate or something even more complex.

“A lot of people are setting up rooming houses,” Trickler said.

“Some legal, some not.”

As for the immediate future of the single-family home rental market, Trickler suggests keeping an eye on the coming legislative session where rent control is going to be a topic. He believes that if the proposal to take the state prohibition for rent control off the books is successful, it may impact the market negatively.

But short of a crystal ball, Snohomish County will have to wait and see what 2015 brings.

This book will help leaders in any organization

id you see that Mark Zuckerberg, the founder and CEO of Facebook, has started a Book Club?

He announced earlier this month “my challenge for 2015 is to read a new book every other week — with an emphasis on learning about different cultures, beliefs, histories and technologies.”

His first selection is “The End of Power,” by Moises Naim. It’s an obscure title, not on any best-seller list. I appreciate that Zuckerberg is using his prestige as one of this generation’s greatest innovators to shine a bright light on the importance of reading; a habit practiced by not

enough entrepreneurs.

So, in the spirit of Zuckerberg’s challenge to read more titles this year, I will share with you a book I recently discovered that is way, way off the beaten path, “Leadership in the Crucible of Work,” by Sandy Shugart.

He is the president of Valencia College in Orlando, Florida.

Valencia College is typically ranked as one of the top community colleges in the country and was the inaugural winner of the Aspen Prize for Excellence.

Last summer, I attended a community college leadership conference where President Shugart was a featured speaker.

He was a very engaging presenter and he shared that he’d just published a book on the topics he was discussing with

The Rotary Club of Everett has recognized Ralph Quaas for a half century of service to the club and the Everett community.

Because his workshop was so good, I decided to purchase his book. I am so glad that I found this gem.

So why do I recommend this book as your first selection for 2015?

First, I think it helpful to share what Shugart’s book is not.

His book is not like any other you have read on leadership.

It is not a step-by-step guide.

It doesn’t have a list of the top 10 things to do and you’ll become a better leader.

In fact, as Shugart warns in the first few pages, “I can’t offer you a template for your growth and

success at work….what I can offer you is this invitation to enter the conversation concerning how we form and are formed by our work.”

His book is not filled with answers, but rather a series of questions to ponder and contemplate.

Although written by a community college president, it is not a book aimed at higher education leaders.

Shugart’s book IS a collection of paired essays on both sides “of the formative experiences of work.” The book is for leaders of any organization large or small, for-profit, not-for-profit or government agency.

couple of months. We have found Shugart’s work helpful for sparking engaged conversations on important leadership questions and issues. I found the chapter titled Despair Hope the most impactful.

I believe you’ll find the same benefit with your organization.

Shugart sums up the mission of his writings the best: “If the essays stir up your conversation with yourself and with others, if they trouble you a bit, if they manage to raise questions you cannot easily dismiss, I will consider my purpose fulfilled.”

Civil discourse honors King

Where did earlier bus funds go?

The Herald on Wednesday ran a front page article regarding the Arlington School District’s attempt, for the second time, to get voters to approve a levy for funds to replace aging school buses. On Thursday, The Herald Editorial Board felt it was a sufficiently important issue to publish an editorial recommending passage of the levy. The benefits touted were “better value for the district and its taxpayers” (whatever that means), cleaner air, and a safer ride for the students.

Nowhere mentioned in the district’s promotional materials or the editorial was a detailed explanation of why the district now finds itself in the fix of needing new buses with no money to pay for them. The articles did all mention that the problem buses

Greene, president of the Snohomish County Chapter of the NAACP, wrote a guest commentary for The Herald, commenting on the grand jury’s decision in Ferguson, Missouri, and the crisis that followed. Her hope was to begin conversations that are necessary not just in Missouri and New York but also are needed here in Snohomish County. Greene offered the commentary with full knowledge that she was opening herself up to criticism and challenges from authors of

letters to the editor who sign their names and the opinions of online commenters who typically remain anonymous.

Fair comment has a value as part of that conversation.

But the value of some of the online commentary was only in proving that something is broken.

One online commenter told Greene that she should consider herself lucky that racism existed because it gave her “something to live for.”

Everyone sees these issues from his or her own

perspective, influenced by individual beliefs and experiences. The conversation starts by listening to and understanding how those beliefs and experiences form the opinions of those participating in a discussion. It’s a willful act to be quiet and listen to someone and make an effort to understand their point.

That’s how conversations become solutions, how solutions become reconciliation.

This is how we honor Martin Luther King Jr. And that’s something to live for.

were now too old to receive the depreciation refunds paid by the state to the district during the normal depreciation schedule of newer buses. That money is intended to provide financing when a bus needs to be replaced.

In Wednesday’s article the district was even quoted as saying this would be a “onetime request” because in the future the district would save up this money to buy replacements. So: My question is where did the money go that the district was paid during the time these old buses where being depreciated? All one can conclude is that it has continually been misappropriated and spent on other items. As a result, the district is coming to the taxpayers again and asking us to bail them out. Why should I personally have to cough up another $400 over the next two years to cover for their malfeasance? It is time for the district administrators to earn their generous salaries and come up with a solution

other than the easy way out of picking the taxpayers’ pockets again. As I did in November, I will vote no and urge others in the district to do likewise.

clear that this is an expensive route for the district. Knowing this, the $6.60 a month they need for just the twoyear levy, doesn’t sound so bad. And I did verify that this is only a two-year levy and that’s it! There will be no request in two years to continue it.

In year’s one and two, they would buy the new buses with the levy dollars, and in years one through 12 they would receive reimbursements from the state. So by year 13 they can purchase new buses with the accrued reimbursements saved up.

I truly see the value in this levy and the fact that the school district will get 26 new buses, and that covers half their fleet!

I would like our children to be safer on the district buses.

Our kids deserve better.

I urge you to vote yes on the Feb. 10 ballot!

OK sensible levy for needed buses I have three children in the Arlington School District.

My kids have been riding the school bus for several years now, to school, as well as on field trips and to sports events. And I must say our buses are extremely old — 28 years old for a bus is ancient!

That means high mileage, lots of repairs, and no more parts available for some of the repairs. The school district has waited so long to replace these buses, by just repairing the broken ones over and over. However, after reviewing the numbers, it is

GUEST COMMENTARY | Martin Luther King Jr. Day

Remember King with service to humanity

By John Lovick

S

ometimes, during the course of conversation with someone about my childhood in Louisiana, I get asked why I didn’t end up going down a different path like some of the young men we see in the media.

Why didn’t I end up succumbing to alcohol or drugs?

Why didn’t I end up on the streets?

My answer is always the same: My grandmother, Elsie, paid too high a price for me to go down the wrong path. I still remember those times as a teen when I came home at night after a basketball game or a church event. There she was, sitting on the edge of her chair wringing her hands and rocking back and forth. She had good reason to worry. She knew what could go wrong for a young black man in the deep south in the 1960s. So she worked endless hours to provide for her children and grandchildren, at great cost to herself.

My grandmother wasn’t the only one who paid a high price

IN OUR VIEW | Martin Luther King Jr. Day

For many there may be a tinge of unease to this particular Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Violent and fatal confrontations between black men and police in Missouri and New York were followed by sometimes-peaceful but too-often-violent protests as communities and the rest of the nation split on whether justice had been served when grand juries excused the officers involved.

Amid the shouts of “black lives matter” and “police lives matter” were familiar calls for a national conversation on race and action on inequality, justice and opportunity.

During previous King holidays we could focus our attention on community service, celebrating differences, honoring what sometimes appeared to be a distant civil rights history, topics that to differing degrees acknowledged issues of race and inequality.

Those issues have come closer to the forefront this Martin Luther King Jr. Day. And there’s no more appropriate time to discuss them.

In order to have a conversation, however, some, more than others, may need a reminder on the ground rules of civil discourse.

for me. After watching the movie “Selma” not once, but twice last weekend, I was overwhelmed by the brutal and heart-wrenching sacrifices so many people made for me, and others, to gain the right to vote.

Even long before the Selma to Montgomery marches and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 led by Martin Luther King Jr., many others made sacrifices so Americans could exercise their right to vote.

And how have we responded?

Last summer Snohomish County made headlines for having the lowest primary voter turnout in the state. A mere 25.6 percent of voters made the effort to fill out their ballots and mail them in.

Attribute that to apathy in our political system, but I believe too many people sacrificed their time and even their lives for me to simply toss my ballot in the recycling bin.

Do we really think we’ve come so far as a society that the problems of 50 years ago are just a distant memory? If so, we need only watch or read the news to know we are as

plagued by violence and crises today as our grandparents and great grandparents were in their day.

We do not have to live in the past in order to change the future, but we do have to look beyond our self-interests to the problems of those around us.

As Dr. King is quoted as saying, “An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.”

I have great hope not all is forgotten or so easily dismissed. Recently I attended several local schools’ Martin Luther King Jr. assemblies.

Each one was moving and meaningful.

I was particularly struck by Mariner High School’s MLK event. I visit this school as often as I can because I see my younger self in these students.

So I went to this event ready to share my thoughts on how these teens can overcome the disadvantages they face every day and build a successful future. But these students

left me speechless — literally. Before I could utter one word of advice, every student speaker before me said it all first! Lose the hate. Stay in school and get the best education you can. Focus on your goals and dreams and never give up them. Respect yourself and those around you. Be engaged.

They get it. They realize they are students today and the leaders of tomorrow.

What about today’s leaders?

It’s time for us as individuals and as a larger community to commit ourselves to examining the issues before us today and determining which sacrifices we’re willing to make for future generations. What do we want Snohomish County to look like in 50 years?

However you spend MLK day — at an event, watching “Selma” or recovering from Sunday’s Seahawks game, I hope you’ll commit yourself to thinking about the “broader concerns of all humanity” the other 364 days of the year.

John Lovick is the county executive for Snohomish County.

omney Recycled” was the headline atop a Wall Street Journal editorial last week lamenting Mitt Romney’s intimations that he will make a third run at the presidency in 2016.

The conservative editorialists were right to dread another election about Romneycare and the 47 percent. But why pick on Romney?

Overall, 2016 is shaping up to be the DANA MILBANK year of the retreads: the reduce, reuse and recycle election.

This will be the seventh presidential campaign I’ve covered in some form, starting with a bit role in 1992. If the field develops the way it appears to be, this will be my fourth Clinton campaign, fourth Bush campaign, third Romney campaign, third Paul campaign, second Huckabee campaign and second Santorum campaign. This isn’t an election — it’s a rerun.

The likely slate of candidates will include the son of a governor and presidential candidate, the son of a congressman and presidential candidate, the wife of a president, and the brother of a president, son of a president and grandson of a senator.

Nearly two and a half centuries after rebelling against the monarchy, our presidential contest has all the freshness of the House of Lords. Even the British royals have done a better job at bringing in new blood: Kate, the future queen, was a commoner.

The hereditary nature of the presidential race isn’t the disease but a symptom of our empty politics. In the absence of ideas and popular passion — the sort of spirit that briefly captured the nation’s imagination in 2008 — winning becomes about name recognition and celebrity. Known brands rate highly in early polls, which brings in money, which leads to victory.

That is why, if a Clinton or a Bush wins in 2016 and is re-elected in 2020, a member of one of those two families will have been president for 28 of 36 years since 1989. Incredibly, Republicans have not won the presidency since 1928 without Richard Nixon or a member of the Bush family on the ticket, and if Jeb Bush is the Republican nominee, the streak will approach the century mark. By that time, George P. Bush, Jeb’s son and the newly elected Texas land commissioner, will be ready to take over the family business.

Dynastic politics is nothing new in this ostensibly meritocratic land, going back to John Quincy Adams and continuing through the Roosevelts and Tafts and Kennedys. A 2009 academic study found that, since the beginning of the republic, 8.7 percent of members of Congress had a relative who previously served in the body.

The percentage has declined over time, but a 2010 article in Legislative Studies Quarterly found that kin of officeholders continue to have large “brand name advantages” allowing them to raise more money and achieve more success with less experience.

Think the tea party stopped such entitlement? Firebrand Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, is the son of Rex Lee, solicitor general in the Reagan administration. And Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., owes his rise almost entirely to his father, Ron. The problem isn’t DNA but the dominance of name recognition over everything else in politics. . This is what threatens to make the 2016 presidential election so tedious.

The big names are big because we know them from their previous runs, or because of their relatives’ runs, for the same office. Their presence in the race virtually guarantees we’ll be revisiting Whitewater and Monica Lewinsky, the Iraq War and torture, Rafalca the dancing dressage horse and poor Seamus strapped to a car roof, Huckabee’s guitar and waistline, and Santorum’s sweaters. It’s almost enough to make Ted Cruz look appealing.

Barack Obama, offering a fresh face and a (hitherto unfulfilled) change in direction, gave temporary relief to the tedium in 2008, when voter turnout reached 61.6 percent, the highest since 1968, according to the United States Election Project. Turnout in November’s midterms, by contrast, was 35.9 percent, the lowest since 1942, continuing a long decline. A 2016 campaign of reruns isn’t going to reverse the pattern.

Bush family matriarch Barbara Bush said last year, before her son Jeb began to make noises about a run: “If we can’t find more than two or three families to run for higher office, that’s silly. ... I refuse to accept that this great country isn’t raising other wonderful people.”

It is. But they’re being crowded out by the tyranny of celebrity.

5 things to know about lawmakers’ efforts on pot

By Gene Johnson Associated Press

SEATTLE — Medical marijuana activists feel like they have their back to the wall as the Legislature tries to rein in an unregulated system that many people believe is unfairly competing with heavily taxed recreational pot sales in Washington state. Hundreds are expected in Olympia on Thursday as lawmakers hold their first big hearing on the topic this session.

Kari Boiter, Washington state coordinator with Americans for Safe Access, says there’s been a lot of talk recently that medical dispensaries are merely fronts for black market marijuana sales, that they endanger patients with untested cannabis or that they’re taking advantage of the state by not paying taxes. But many serve people who need the medicine, voluntarily test their products and pay taxes that are applicable to them, including sales taxes.

“There are a lot of legitimate patients in this state,” Boiter said. “If lawmakers don’t believe they exist, we need to get those people in front of them. We want a regulated system for medical marijuana.”

Here are five things to know as lawmakers attempt to reconcile medical and recreational marijuana.

What’s at stake?: Washington’s adult-use marijuana sales, authorized by Initiative 502, have brought in more than $17 million in taxes since stores opened last July, but officials think

near the park. They’ve raised about $6,500 so far, not including the city’s $6,000 pledge.

“At this point, we’re fully funded,” he said.

“But the more money we have, the better we can make things.”

Any money raised between now and the end of February would be used to buy higherend equipment, install detailed signs along the course and landscape around the tees and baskets.

The volunteer group is working with the city to process donations and purchase supplies and services, Bade said.

They’re still ironing out the last details and

the state could have garnered even more if the stores weren’t competing with untaxed or much-lesser-taxed sales at medical dispensaries. As long as the medical shops remain unregulated, there’s little incentive for people who have been using them for recreational purposes to switch into the legal-pot system, where for now the weed costs about twice as much.

That said, lawmakers also don’t want to hurt people suffering from cancer, multiple sclerosis or other serious conditions by making it harder or more expensive for them to get marijuana. The trick is to protect those patients while reining in what many see as abuses of the system, and it’s no easy task.

“We need to get the two systems functioning as one,” Senate Majority Leader Mark Schoesler, R-Ritzville, said recently.

What’s being proposed?: There are at least two major approaches under consideration. On Thursday, the Senate’s Health Care Committee holds a hearing on the Cannabis Patient Protection Act, a bill proposed

by Republican Sen. Ann Rivers of La Center that takes a novel tack: It would create stand-alone medical marijuana dispensaries that can’t sell dried marijuana — just edibles and concentrates, like hash oil — on the theory that smoking marijuana is bad for sick people. It would require testing that’s at least as strict as that for recreational pot.

Among its other tenets: that “collective gardens” of marijuana patients need to be severely

finalizing a course design.

“We’re hoping to build in March and open by April,” he said. “That’s always been the goal, and it looks like we’re on track for that.”

City officials hope a disc golf course could provide more local recreation options and draw people to the area who have been going elsewhere to play.

“We’re super excited about it,” city administrator Deborah Knight said. “I know there’s a big group of disc golf enthusiasts out there who travel some distance to play, so we want to let them know we’re working on a course here.”

curtailed; that there needs to be a registry of medical marijuana patients and providers; and that the Department of Health should determine the strength of products sold in medical shops.

The other major bill hasn’t yet been introduced, but Democratic Seattle Sen. Jeanne Kohl-Welles said she is contemplating getting rid of medical dispensaries and authorizations altogether.

Instead, any shop that meets requirements could be licensed to sell pot for either purpose, with tax breaks offered on marijuana products targeted toward medical use. The statewide cap on licensed pot shops — 334 — would be lifted, allowing as many as the market can bear, an idea that might have limited support in much of the state.

Kohl-Welles would also eliminate collective gardens, allow home growing of up to six plants, and reduce excise taxes on recreational pot — from a 25 percent tax applied up to three times, to a 25 percent tax applied once — in hopes of making state-sanctioned marijuana more competitive with the black market.

What do patients think?: Advocates say they’re not opposed to being regulated — in fact, they’ve wanted it for a long time. Washington passed its medical marijuana law in 1998, but it only allowed for patients to grow their own marijuana or designate someone to grow it for them — not terribly practical for many patients. They pushed for a bill to create a system of licensed dispensaries in 2011, but

then-Gov. Chris Gregoire vetoed many of the relevant parts.

There are ideas in both KohlWelles’ and Rivers’ approaches that appeal to patients. But they largely object to having medical stores that don’t sell dried marijuana. Boiter noted that research does not support the idea that cannabis smoke is harmful the way tobacco smoke is. Dried bud can be used in a vaporizer, and some patients prefer it to stronger concentrates and edibles.

Many patients also consider the creation of a registry of patients and caregivers — basically a database of people involved in federal crimes — to be problematic. Instead, Alison Holcomb, the author of Washington’s legal pot law, has suggested that the distinction between medical and recreational shops be erased, as Kohl-Welles has proposed.

Why don’t patients just go to a licensed recreational stores?: The cost, for one thing, and access, for another. There are thus far relatively few legal stores, just 85 or so statewide. Many cities and some counties have banned pot businesses, saying they don’t want to accommodate them when local governments don’t get to share in the state’s marijuana tax revenue. Lawmakers are considering addressing this by giving cities and counties a slice of the revenue — but only if they agree to allow the businesses in their jurisdictions.

Another hindrance are the buffer zones required of recreational shops: They have to be 1,000 feet from schools, playgrounds

and transit centers, among other things.

If patients are using public transit, “you’re asking them to walk three football fields to get to that store,” Boiter said.

Another reason is the choice of product, Boiter says: The recreational shops don’t specialize in offering transdermal cannabis patches, tinctures or topical creams favored by some patients.

What do recreational pot dealers want out of this?: A number of recreational-pot entrepreneurs have backgrounds in medical marijuana, and say patients need to be protected as the state moves forward. But they’re also in business, and they need to make money.

And that means they want to drive more pot users into licensed shops. While regular marijuana users are sticking with medical dispensaries or black market dealers, they say, their main customers are tourists and the occasional cannabis user who can afford steeply taxed products.

The Washington CannaBusiness Association, a new group of licensed pot businesses, had input as Rivers’ drafted her bill.

“What we really like about it is it ensures that patients have access to safe products — that’s number one,” said the group’s executive director, Vicki Christophersen. “The second goal is to ensure regulatory certainty and a level playing field for I-502 and medicinal. I-502 stores are struggling to compete right now with what is essentially a black market.”

Pizza shop employee Scattered power outages stabbed in Edmonds from windstorm EDMONDS — A confrontation in an Edmonds parking lot ended in violence Saturday night when a car prowler stabbed a Domino’s Pizza employee.

The employee, a 40-year-old man, found the car prowler outside the business in the 22900 block of Highway 99, Edmonds police Sgt. Mark Marsh said.

The suspect stabbed the victim in the stomach and ran away at about 11:30 p.m., Marsh said. The victim was taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. He underwent emergency surgery and was expected to be interviewed by detectives Sunday.

A manhunt for the suspect came up empty. He was described as black, in his mid-20s and wearing dark clothing and a backpack. No additional information was released by police on Sunday while the investigation continued.

Windy weekend weather caused scattered power outages and road closures in Snohomish County.

Highway 99 in Edmonds was closed Sunday between 244th Street SW and 238th Street SW after a power pole fell across the road, according to police.

Power outages primarily targeted south county, peaking around 15,000 early Sunday, the Snohomish County PUD reported. Outages were down to about 2,000 as of early Sunday evening. The wind knocked down trees and utility poles elsewhere, too, causing problems.

Lakewood: Military cuts Military officials are holding a town hall meeting in Lakewood on Wednesday to discuss proposed cuts at Joint Base Lewis-McChord. The Olympian reported that the base could lose up to 11,000 soldiers and civilians, on top of

the 5,000 already gone.

Base officials want to hear from residents of the south Puget Sound about how the cuts could impact local communities so the Army can decide what steps to take next and how to meet its budget.

Lawmakers and military officials say some losses will happen unless Congress repeals the forced federal budget cuts known as sequestration. The plan calls for cutting about $500 billion in planned military spending by 2021.

Washington’s congressional representatives say they are opposed to the cuts.

Rep. Adam Smith, who is the ranking Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee, said general cuts to the Army are easier to pass in Congress than canceling individual military programs.

“Since Congress is not allowing those things to happen, then the Army’s got do to what it’s got to do,” said Smith, who voted against the 2011 budget compromise that set the stage for the Army force reductions.

LIVING WITH CHILDREN

Freedom, money and responsibility

By John Rosemond Tribune News Service

Teenagers are highly motivated by any opportunity to expand their freedom. More freedom is, in fact, THE MOST POWERFUL OF ALL MOTIVATORS for teens. I wouldn’t have put it in capitals if it wasn’t.

More than anything, parents of teenagers want their kids to act responsibly. They want them to do their best in school, stay out of trouble, not engage in risk-taking behavior like drinking and pot smoking, and be gracious and grateful family members.

In many parent-teen relationships, the teen’s desire for freedom and the parent’s desire for responsible behavior are in a state of tension. The tension is the result of the parent being unwilling to give the teen sufficient freedom and the teen wanting more freedom than he can responsibly handle. This tension results in conflict between parent and child, conflict that causes even more tension, and more conflict, and so on. Where this

ends is anyone’s best guess.

Actually, there is a way of ending it, even preventing it from happening in the first place, and that is for the parent to give the teen the freedom the parent wants him to learn to handle, along with the means of handling it. Let’s apply this to money, something teens want because without it, freedom is pretty meaningless.

A personal anecdote: When my kids, each in turn, became teenagers, my wife and I began them on a fiscal program that included a $100-a-month allowance. This was the early- to mid-1980s, mind you, but please don’t think we were nuts until you read on. The full program: 1. Each child had a checking account with no overdraft protection into which we deposited $100 on the first of every month.

2. Said child was responsible for purchasing non-essential clothing and any recreation that did not include at least one other family member.

3. We continued to fund essential clothing, such as replacing clothing that no longer fit.

Colbert replacement launches tonight “the nightly Show with larry Wilmore” will tackle current events, followed by a panel discussion.

“The Daily Show.” He’s also chief consultant for the new show.

“The biggest thing I learned from Jon is to keep attacking it, keep going at it,” Wilmore said. “He pushes you in directions that sometimes you’re uncomfortable with. We never went with whatever our first take was on ‘The Daily Show.’ Whatever our first joke was was just our starting point. Jon always encouraged us to go deeper.”

Wilmore plans to open each episode with his take on events of the day. The second part of the show

will often revolve around a panel discussion deconstructing provocative topics.

That sounds more like a Sunday morning news show than a late night laugh fest. Wilmore even toyed with the idea of calling it “Meet the Rest.”

“If Colbert was a cousin of Bill O’Reilly, then we’re the cousin to George Stephanopoulos,” said Wilmore.

He has no illusions about getting major movie stars or pop divas to appear on the program.

“No way our show can compete with ‘The Tonight Show’ for glamour booking. We have to have people who are going to make our show fun and funny and interesting.”

Willmore admits that it will take time to build an audience. Through years of experience, he said, he knows that these kinds of shows don’t launch fully formed.

“Some things you figure out sooner than others,” he said. “If you have a good relationship with the audience, they forgive you for things. As long as you’re having fun.”

Locally shot ‘High Castle’ is best of Amazon’s new shows Amazon is riding high with its righteous Golden Globe wins for its comedy series “Transparent” and a new deal with Woody Allen. And far be it from me to be a downer, but let’s all try to keep our heads.

Only one of six shows that debuted Thursday shows any promise.

That would be “The Man in the High Castle,” the long-awaited adaptation of the Philip Dick novel of the same name, championed by Ridley Scott and partially filmed in Snohomish County.

As did the book, “The Man in the High Castle” imagines the United States just after World War II has been won, this time by the Axis powers.

With Germany apparently the only country in possession of atomic firepower, the eastern half of the country is ruled by the Third Reich, the western by Imperial Japan; a swath of border

states serves as a “neutral zone.”

It’s an upsetting, if provocative premise, smartly adapted by “The X-Files’” Frank Spotnitz and one made glorious by sets and cinematography worthy of a Scott production.

As bad as things are, they’re about to get worse. Hitler is suffering from Parkinson’s, and the only thing his potential successors agree on is that cohabitation with Japan must end, even if it means nuking the West Coast.

Although director David Semel gives the pilot a dreamlike quality, the implications of this alternate history are disturbing, often to the point of distraction. But in a landscape obsessed with post-apocalyptic tales, it does raise the question: How real will we let ourselves get?

LOS ANGELES—Larry Wilmore isn’t exactly the new kid on the block. At 53, he’s a highly respected figure in Hollywood writers rooms, helping to shape “The Bernie Mac Show,” “The Office” and the new ABC sitcom “Black-ish.”

But aside from occasional appearances as a correspondent on Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show” and a couple of Showtime specials, he’s unknown to the general public.

That all changes Monday with the debut of “The Nightly Show With Larry Wilmore,” which is charged with the daunting task of replacing “The Colbert Report,” one of cable’s highest rated shows.

Seahawks advance to Super Bowl after improbable win

By Rich Myhre Herald Writer

SEATTLE — On a day of wild, wacky and ultimately joyous football, the Seattle Seahawks scored two touchdowns in the final four minutes of regulation, and then mounted an 87-yard overtime drive for the winning touchdown to cap a wholly improbable 28-22 win over Green Bay in Sunday’s NFC championship game.

The victory, which was very much in doubt through a woeful first half and even midway through the fourth quarter, sends Seattle to a Super Bowl XLIX meeting with the New England Patriots, Feb. 1 in Glendale, Ariz. The Seahawks will be trying to win the first backto-back NFL championships since New England in 2004-05.

EATTLE — Amidst the pandemonium that followed one of the most stunning finishes in NFL playoff history, Michael Bennett rode a bike.

More specifically, the Seattle Seahawks’ defensive end commandeered a Seattle Police Department mountain bike and took it on a victory lap around CenturyLink Field following his team’s 28-22 overtime victory over the Green JOHN BOYLE Bay Packers in the NFC championship game.

And that moment — a 274-pound defensive lineman cruising around on a cop’s bike while confetti rained down on his teammates — was only about the 10th weirdest thing that had occurred on that field in the last half hour.

Defense set the table for Seahawks’ comeback victory

By Todd Fredrickson Herald Writer

SUPER BOWL

INSIDE

SEATTLE — Earl Thomas sat at his locker, shirtless, a gigantic ice bag on his left shoulder.

He was searching for words, appearing almost dazed, trying to answer a thousand questions from a thousand directions in a locker room that was pure pandemonium.

“It’s hard for me to describe what just happened, bro,” Seattle’s All-Pro safety said, softly. “We were down with three minutes left, and look what happened. I’m clueless right now.”

“I don’t know if I’m drained. I’m just ... grateful, man. Just grateful.

That’s it. Grateful.”

Seahawks players, coaches and fans will, in turn, be grateful for a

defensive effort led by Thomas on Sunday that was truly heroic.

The highlight shows will feature clutch plays on offense and special teams, but if the NFL’s best defense didn’t play a game for the ages, none of that would have mattered.

It took an all-time performance by the Seattle defense to set the table for a comeback that was beyond miraculous, and the defense delivered as the Seahawks beat Green Bay 28-22 in overtime in the NFC Championship Game at CenturyLink Field.

“That’s what you trust in,” quarterback Russell Wilson said of the Seattle defense. “All the years I’ve been here, they just continue to find ways to make plays for us and vice versa.

Patriots win AFC in 45-7 pasting of Colts

By Howard Ulman Associated Press

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Bill Belichick and Tom Brady are headed to a special place where no coach or player has gone more — the Super Bowl.

They earned their trip with the second most lopsided AFC championship victory ever.

The New England Patriots dominant duo earned a sixth trip to the Super Bowl with a 45-7 wipeout of the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC championship game before a raucous, rainsoaked crowd Sunday night.

Scoring touchdowns on their first four second-half possessions, the Patriots (14-4) moved on to face defending champion Seattle (14-4) for the NFL title on Feb. 1 in Glendale, Arizona.

Belichick will face Pete Carroll, whom he replaced as Patriots coach 2000. The Seahawks beat the Green Bay Packers 28-22 in overtime in the NFC title game.

“I only have one thing to say.

We’re on to Seattle,” Belichick said, echoing the statement he repeated several times, “We’re on to Cincinnati,” after a 41-14 loss at Kansas City dropped the Patriots to 2-2.

Brady threw three touchdown passes, LeGarrette Blount ran 30 times for 148 yards and three scores and the Patriots charged away after leading just 17-7 at halftime.

“I know we’ve had some ups

and downs this year,” Brady said, “but right now we’re up, baby, and we’re going to try to stay up for one more game.”

In his first year as a starter, Brady led the Patriots to a Super Bowl win in the 2001 season, starting a run of three championships in four years. Now he and Belichick have a chance for their first in 10 years.

Brady completed 23 of 35 passes for 226 yards before being replaced by Jimmy Garoppolo with 3:20 left. Brady went to the sideline where he was embraced

by Belichick. Moments earlier, while sitting on the bench, Brady was shown on the video board with soaked hair. He pumped his fist in the air 12 times then slapped hands with teammates.

The biggest blowout in AFC title history was Buffalo’s 51-3 win over the Los Angeles Raiders in the 1990 season.

For Colts quarterback Andrew Luck, it was the worst game of his three-year career and the fourth rout in his four career games against the Patriots, all by at least three touchdowns.

He completed 12 of 33 passes for 126 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions.

“My play wasn’t up to par to give you a chance to beat a great team,” he said.

He lost 43-22 in last season’s divisional playoff with Blount rushing for 166 yards and four touchdowns. And on Nov. 16, he lost 43-22 as Jonas Gray

rushed for 201 yards and four touchdowns.

“It’s a very disappointing loss,” Colts coach Chuck Pagano said.

“We’ll learn from this. We’ll grow from this.”

When Luck threw an interception that Darrelle Revis late in the third quarter, Blount ran 13 yards for the touchdown that made it 38-7.

One fan held up a sign: “No Luck In Our House” But there was plenty of skill — and a touch of surprise — from the Patriots.

Eight days after baffling Baltimore with a four-man offensive linemen formation that drew a loud protest from Ravens coach John Harbaugh in the Patriots 35-31 divisional win, Belichick called a pass to left tackle Nate Solder, who was eligible, that resulted in a 16-yard touchdown that made it 24-7 with just under five minutes gone in the third quarter.

The Patriots kept rolling with touchdowns on each of their next three series — a 5-yard pass from Brady to Rob Gronkowski, and Blount’s runs of 13 and 2 yards.

“He made some great cuts in not good conditions,” Belichick said of Blount. “He’s a tough guy to tackle.”

All that added up to a shot at another championship for the Patriots after losing the Super Bowl to the New York Giants in the 2007 and 2011 seasons.

The Ravens will need to hire a new offensive coordinator, after all.

Just seven days after saying that he would remain with the Ravens, Gary Kubiak will be named the new head coach of the Denver Broncos, according to a source, returning him to the organization that he spent 20 seasons with as either a player or assistant coach.

The news is a huge setback to the Ravens, who were counting on Kubiak coming back and directing an offense that made great strides in year one under his tutelage. The Ravens set single-season franchise records in points (409) and yards (5,838), and quarterback Joe Flacco set career highs in touchdown passes (27) and passing yards (3,986).

Now, Flacco will need to get used to his fourth different offensive coordinator in as many seasons, and head coach John Harbaugh will be forced to endure more turnover on his coaching staff. Ravens quarterback coach Rick Dennison and tight ends coach Brian Pariani, who came with Kubiak to Baltimore after working under him in Houston, also could follow Kubiak to Denver.

Harbaugh is expected to start a search for an offensive coordinator immediately. One potential option was thought to be Kyle Shanahan, who was a runner-up to Kubiak last year when Harbaugh found a replacement for Jim Caldwell. But Shahanan, who spent this past season as the Cleveland Browns offensive coordinator and resigned a few weeks ago, reportedly will become the Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator.

When the Broncos’ head coaching job become open — John Fox and the team parted ways after a playoff loss to the Indianapolis Colts — that changed everything. Kubiak and Broncos general manager John Elway are former teammates and roommates, and they remain extremely close friends.

Kubiak, 53, was the backup quarterback to Elway with the Broncos from 1983 to 1991. He then returned to the organization in 1995 and spent 11 seasons with the Broncos as either the offensive coordinator or quarterback coach, winning two Super Bowl rings in the process.

Big second half propels UW past Oregon

By Christian Caple The News Tribune

SEATTLE — To orchestrate the second-most impressive comeback by a Seattle sports team on Sunday — and that Seahawks-Packers result was a prevalent conversation topic at Hec Edmundson Pavilion — the Washington Huskies men’s basketball team needed contributions from its best players.

And from a less-heralded local kid, too.

They trailed by 10 points at halftime against a fleet Oregon Ducks squad that ran the court, peppered the net with 3-pointers and dunked when they felt like it.

But for the next 20 minutes, the Huskies did all of that instead, and left with an 85-77 victory and a sweep of both games they played here this weekend.

They did it behind 21 points from junior guard Andrew Andrews, and 20 points from sophomore point guard Nigel Williams-Goss, and another workmanlike double-double from star center Robert Upshaw, who scored 13 points to go along with 12 rebounds — seven of them offensive — and five blocked shots.

But the 13 points the Huskies received from freshman Donaven Dorsey were just as crucial.

“We don’t win this game,” Andrews said, “if Donaven doesn’t come in and give us that spark off the bench.”

Indeed, the Lacey native played one of his most important games as a Husky, making each of his

three 3-point attempts and converting a steal into a dunk to give UW a 74-61 lead with 4:27 to play.

That capped a 15-2 Huskies run that began with the score tied, 59-59, midway through the second half.

Washington (13-4, 2-3 in Pac12), though, needed a significant run just to achieve that tie. The Huskies trailed 42-32 at halftime after allowing too many open 3-point looks out of their zone defense — Dwayne Benjamin was the primary benefactor, and he scored 13 of his 15 points in the first half — and failed to establish their own offensive rhythm.

“We talked about how we were very fortunate to be down 10. It

Sunday’s results Washington 85, Oregon 77 could have easily been 20,” UW coach Lorenzo Romar said of the Huskies’ halftime conversation.

“We were very fortunate. And (if) we were down 10 after playing the way we did, we’d have a chance to get back in the game.”

That effort began 29 seconds into the half with a made 3-pointer by Williams-Goss, his first since Dec. 22. He knocked down another fewer than three minutes later, the first time he’d made more than one 3-pointer in a game since Dec. 14.

Two more 3s — by Andrews and guard Mike Anderson — gave the Huskies their first lead, at 52-50, since early in the first half.

Washington wound up shooting 8-of-15 from beyond the 3-point arc, by far its most productive perimeter output of the season.

After Oregon tied the score 59-59 with a 3-pointer by Jalil Abdul-Bassit, Dorsey got involved. He sandwiched 3-pointers around an alleyoop dunk and subsequent free throw by Shawn Kemp Jr., and accounted for eight points during that decisive 15-2 run.

Dorsey’s 13 points marked just the second time the freshman has scored in double-figures this season. His five rebounds were a career best. His smooth shooting stroke has earned green-light permission from Romar — if he’s open, he is expected to shoot, no exceptions — which is something he’s still adjusting to.

“I wouldn’t say it’s natural,” Dorsey said. “I would say Coach is trying to continue to get me to do that. I just have to know that coach believes in me and he wants me to do that, so whatever he wants me to do, I’ll do.”

Andrews, who tied his singlegame scoring high, drew praise from Romar for the efficiency with which he attacked the basket, and made a pair of big layups in the final minutes to help sustain a multi-possession lead.

Oregon (12-6, 2-3) did trim UW’s lead to 81-77 with 32.6 seconds remaining thanks to 10 quick points from Dillon Brooks, who led the Ducks with 16, and a wild 3-pointer by Joseph Young, the Pac-12’s leading scorer who managed just eight points against the Huskies.

But Williams-Goss made four free throws and the Ducks didn’t score again.

Seahawks 28, Packers 22 OT Seahawks From page C1

Sunday’s win over the Packers was “the best game I’ve ever been in, for sure,” said Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson. “And I think that may be one of the best games in NFL history. Just to be able to come back in the playoffs like that and in overtime, I can’t see a much better game than that.”

“For the fans in the Northwest, this has got to be one for the ages,” added Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll.

It was Wilson’s 35-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Jermaine Kearse a little over three minutes into overtime that ended the game and sent a CenturyLink Field record crowd of 68,538 into giddy celebration.

Amidst swirling confetti, Seahawks owner Paul Allen accepted the team’s second George Halas Trophy, awarded to the NFC champion, in as many years.

“I still don’t know how we won,” said Seattle linebacker K.J. Wright. “I’m going to have to go back and watch the game (on film) to figure out how we actually won. But I’m so proud of this team. ... People will remember this game for years and years with the way we fought back.”

The Seahawks won despite four first-half turnovers, including three Wilson interceptions, that spotted Green Bay a 16-0 halftime lead.

Ryan to tackle-turnedreceiver Garry Gilliam, making the score 16-7.

But the Packers added a field goal early in the fourth quarter, and when Wilson threw his fourth interception with just over five minutes to play Seattle’s outlook was bleak indeed.

Instead, the Seahawks forced a punt and went 69 yards in seven plays for a 1-yard Wilson touchdown run, cutting the deficit to 19-14. And a successful onside kick with just over two minutes remaining led to a 50-yard, four-play drive for a go-ahead TD run of 24 yards by Marshawn Lynch.

Green Bay’s Mason Crosby kicked a 48-yard field goal, his fifth of the game, with 14 seconds on the clock to make the score 22-22 and force overtime.

After taking the OT kickoff, the Seahawks needed just seven plays to reach the end zone. Wilson had a key 35-yard completion to wide receiver Doug Baldwin up the right sideline on a thirdand-7 play, and on the very next play Wilson linked with Kearse down the middle — it was a play change at the line of scrimmage, with Kearse drawing single coverage — for the winning TD. The outcome “was kind of a microcosm of our whole season,” said Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman. “It always seems like we’re down and out ... and there’s no way for us to turn it around, and then we find a way to turn it around.

Big-time players make big-time plays, and we turned it around to get the win.”

Like Babe Ruth, Wilson calls his shot

By John Boyle Herald Writer

SEATTLE — Late in what to that point had been one the worst games of his career, Russell Wilson called his shot.

Heading into overtime, the Seattle Seahawks quarterback had thrown a career-high four interceptions and completed fewer than half of his pass attempts. Yet he still felt compelled to tell offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell not just that he was going to lead the Seahawks to victory in the NFC championship game, he outlined how it would happen.

“I told Bevell on the sideline right when we won the coin toss, ‘I’m going to hit (Jermaine) Kearse for a touchdown on a check’” Wilson said. “And sure enough, we did.”

Up until that throw, four of the five passes thrown to Kearse had resulted in interceptions — the other went incomplete — with two of them going directly off the receiver’s hands to a Packers defender.

Yet Wilson had faith both in himself and his receiver, and the result was, as Wilson predicted, an audible at the line of scrimmage and a 35-yard touchdown pass to Kearse to win the game.

“When you’re down the stretch, you want Russell Wilson, and I think everybody in America knows that,” Seahawks tight end Luke Willson said. “If they didn’t, they know it now.

And we’ll throw Canada in there too. He’s got so much poise. He is never affected.”

And let’s not kid ourselves, this was in no way Wilson’s best game or anything close

GENNA MARTIN / THE HERALD

Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson is overcome with emotion after Seattle rallied to beat Green Bay.

to it. He was, in fact, pretty bad for much of the game and finished 14-for-29 for 209 yards and a passer rating of 44.9. But his resilience down the stretch was a huge difference in the game.

When the Seahawks got the ball with 3:52 to play in the fourth quarter, there was no logical reason to think they’d get the two touchdowns they needed to come back to take the lead, let alone one more in overtime.

Not with the way Wilson and the offense were playing.

But on Seattle’s next three possessions, all of them touchdowns, Wilson was 6-for-7 for 134 yards and a touchdown while also rushing three times for 20 yards and a score. He also made magic happen on Seattle’s two-point conversion, buying time with his legs before floating a pass across the

field to Willson.

On one of the worst days of his career, Wilson flipped the switch in dramatic fashion.

“We know he’s a fighter,” left tackle Russell Okung said. “He showed plenty of resolve coming through.

He just kept playing, kept playing. He knew we were depending on him and he came through and made that big play in the end. That’s the Russell Wilson we know.”

Even on a day Wilson put his defense in some bad spots with early turnovers, those same defensive players had the utmost faith in their quarterback.

“When we won the (overtime coin) toss, I knew we’d won,” middle linebacker Bobby Wagner said.

Added defensive end Michael Bennett: “He’s the best quarterback in the league right now. It’s him,

Aaron Rodgers, Andrew Luck and Tom Brady, those are the top four guys. ...

He’s a $150 million quarterback in my view.”

For three-plus quarters Wilson was anything but the best quarterback in the league. At halftime, he was 2-for-9 for 12 yards and three interceptions, good for a passer rating of 0.0. He was pretty awful, right up until he became unstoppable.

“If I’m going to go down, I’m going to go down swinging,” Wilson said. “... The guys were giving me great time to be able to make those throws throughout the game, really, and we were able to capitalize in the second half.”

While Wilson was as emotional as he has ever been during his career once the game ended, breaking down in tears during a TV interview, what allowed him to help facilitate a historical comeback was the fact that nothing changed about him during the game. Not when he had more interceptions than completed passes, and not when his team needed two touchdowns in the final four minutes of the game.

“That’s what’s great about Russ,” Willson said. “Good play, bad play, it’s the next play that matters. He wasn’t frustrated, he wasn’t pressing, he was just being himself, and when we needed him the most, he performed unbelievably. It was spectacular to watch.”

Exilis Protégé Elite tightens skin without surgery

A

mid the happy chaos of keeping a toddler and a four-year-old settled in their suppertime seats, making sure they don’t throw mashed potatoes at each other and reminding them to eat their beans, Matthew Ashbach and his wife enjoy the typical dad and mom conversations of life.

Who gets to read the next bedtime story? What kind of tomatoes should we plant in the spring?

Where should we go fishing this year? What are the best dermatological choices to build collagen and micro-tighten pores?

Ok, not every couple cares to converse about skin care and fractional resurfacing, but when the husband is a facial cosmetic surgeon and the wife is a dermatologist, the subject tends to come up.

For the husband side of this team, conversations with his wife helped him choose a new innovation in skin tightening technology, the Exilis Protégé Elite, to use at his medical office in Everett.

After researching the latest in laser technology and discussing possibilities with colleagues, Dr. Ashbach turned to his wife for her professional opinion.

“As an established dermatologist in Seattle, my wife has a dozen lasers in her office that she has

used,” he said. “She gave her highest endorsement to the Exilis.”

With the Exilis treatments now available at Facial Plastic & Aesthetic Services/Lumina, Ashbach has further refined his ability to treat superficial wrinkles in skin and improve the skin’s laxity for a more youthful appearance.

“For people who begin to notice crepey skin below their eyes or saggy, drooping skin in their mid and lower face or in the neckline, but aren’t in a position to get facial surgery, the Exilis system is ideal to tighten the skin and slow down, even reverse, the sagging process,” he said.

Exilis laser treatments can be used on all types of skin, including skin that is tanned.

The treatments are non-invasive, involve little to no pain and there is no downtime after treatment.

“Everyone is blown away that their skin has no redness shortly after the procedure is done,” Ashbach said. “You can go back to work, to the gym or out to dinner and no one will know you’ve had a laser treatment.”

During the Elixis treatment, a handpiece glides over the skin in the treatment area, providing a radio frequency energy that passes through the skin’s surface to heat deep

tissue to a carefully regulated temperature.

In turn, a thermal reaction causes weak collagen to contract, firming the skin.

Additionally, the body’s natural collagen-remodeling process is stimulated to increase the amount and strength of healthy collagen.

The process takes 30 to 60 minutes. Generally, a minimum of two to six treatments scheduled two to four apart is needed for optimal results. Full results develop between three and six months following

your final session.

Whether the Exilis treatment is used alone or in conjunction with other facial treatments such as dermal fillers and Botox®, the results boost an individual’s self-perception and confidence in a fairly incognito fashion.

Ashbach, who was recently honored as a Top Doctor in Seattle Met Magazine, also provides surgical procedures such as rhinoplasty, scar revision, brow lifts, face lifts and neck liposuction.

Master aesthetician Cari Damianidis provides

many nonsurgical services at Facial Plastic & Aesthetic Services/Lumina, including IPL (intense pulsed light) photofacial treatments to decrease facial redness and lessen the appearance of pigmented spots.

Each month, Ashbach’s office provides an e-mail newsletter announcing special pricing on products and procedures. Included in this month’s newsletter: through Feb. 27, 2015, laser hair removal is specially priced: purchase three single treatments and receive three (equal or lesser

value) treatments for free.

Special pricing – buy one, get one 50 percent off – for Juvederm Voluma XC, Juvederm Ultra XC, Radiesse or Belotero is available through Feb. 27, 2015.

Facial Plastic & Aesthetic Services/Lumina is open Monday through Friday, with evening and weekend appointments available. To receive the e-mail newsletter or to schedule your appointment or complimentary consultation, contact 425-259-9999 or LuminaScheduling@ wwmedgroup.com.

Boyle From Page C1

The Seahawks turned the ball over five times on Sunday; they were down 16-0 at halftime. And when they got the ball with 3:52 left in the fourth quarter, their Super Bowl hopes rested on getting two touchdowns out of an offense that so far had produced drives ending with: interception, punt, punt, interception, interception, end of half, punt, touchdown, punt, punt, interception.

Needless to say, things weren’t going well.

Yet in what will go down as one of the most memorable games in Seattle sports history, the Seahawks got the first touchdown they needed. Then Chris Matthews, a former CFL receiver who most casual fans had probably never heard of before Sunday, recovered the ensuing onside kick to keep hope alive.

Marshawn Lynch gave Seattle the lead with a 24-yard touchdown run.

But of course on this crazy afternoon when no lead was safe, Aaron Rodgers answered with a 1 minute, 11 second drive that put the Packers in range for the game-tying field goal.

In overtime, the quarterback who had thrown four interceptions won the game by throwing two brilliant passes, the second of them a 35-yard touchdown to the receiver who up to that point had been targeted five times, resulting in four interceptions, two of which hit off his hands. In a vacuum that pass from Russell Wilson to Jermaine Kearse would have gone down in Seahawks lore as an all-time great, but considering the day both had been having up to that point, it completely defied logic.

“That’s the best game I’ve ever been in for sure,” Wilson said. “I think that may be one of the best games in NFL history. Just to be able to come back in the playoffs like that and in overtime; I can’t see a much better game than that.”

Just how crazy was this game?

Wilson, a player teammates having jokingly called a robot for his neverwavering demeanor, broke down in tears during a postgame TV interview.

He then stood on a stage and spoke with emotion he rarely, if ever, has shown in his Seahawks career.

“We just kept believing,” Wilson said. “There’s no doubt on this team.

When we were 3-3, there was no doubt. When we were 6-4, there was no doubt. When the score was whatever the score was and we needed two touchdowns, there was no doubt.”

Just how crazy was this game? The infamous “Fail Mary” game that ended the referee work stoppage is now just the second-wildest finish between Green Bay and Seattle in this stadium.

“It’s a great memory,” Seahawks safety Earl Thomas said of the improbable finish. “I’ll never forget the bad of this game, and of course the good. ...

I’m enjoying this way better than last year. Especially after today.”

Just how crazy was this game? If not for a touchdown pass from a punter to a backup offensive tackle, the Seahawks don’t win. If not for a pass on a two-point conversion that had the hang time of a punt, the Seahawks don’t win. If not for an onside kick going right through the hands of Packers tight end Brandon Bostick and off his helmet to Matthews, the Seahawks don’t win.

“It’s not a designed play, it’s a play Russell made,” tight end Luke Willson said of his catch on the two-point conversion. “If we run that play call 100 times, that might happen once. It was an odd time for that one to happen, but it worked. It was pretty wild, but so was the whole game.”

The Seahawks have found a lot of ways to win games in recent years, and, “This week we used a fake field goal and have a whirly bird twopointer throw in the air,” Willson said. “We’ve got a lot of playmakers in this team.”

The Seahawks might have matched the Mariners’ epic 1995 ALDS Game 5 win for most thrilling, “I can’t believe that just happened” games in Seattle history. And this victory was also the perfect metaphor for their season.

The Seahawks were a team that looked to be down-and-out after a 3-3 start and the stunning Percy Harvin trade; a team that was 6-4 and three games out of first place in November; a team that very much had to get over a Super Bowl hangover. So why not a little bit more — OK a lot more — adversity standing between them an a Super Bowl.

“It’s kind of a microcosm of our whole season,” cornerback Richard Sherman said. “It always seems like we’re down and out and everything done, we’re all out, there’s no way to turn it around, then we find a way to turn it around.”

Seahawks wide receiver Jermaine Kearse lands in the end zone afte catching the game-winning 35-yard touchdown pass.

KEVIN CLARK / THE HERALD

Roller-coaster ride for Kearse

By Todd Fredrickson Herald Writer

SEATTLE — The first two times Jermaine Kearse touched the ball on Sunday, it bounced off his hands and into the arms of a Green Bay defensive back for an interception.

The third time he touched it, all that was forgiven.

“It was a very interesting game for me,” Kearse said, drawing a laugh in his postgame interview. “I mean, I think there were, like, four interceptions that happened when the ball was thrown my way, and I was like, ‘What is going on?’”

Indeed, all four of quarterback Russell Wilson’s career-high four interceptions were intended for Kearse. Two of them were poor throws by Wilson. The other two clanged off of Kearse’s hands.

At the end of regulation Kearse had zero receptions on five balls thrown his way.

Had the Seahawks lost, the devastating futility of the Wilson-Kearse connection would have been a hot topic for days, maybe weeks or months.

But Wilson went to Kearse one more time in overtime, and Kearse hauled in a 35-yard touchdown pass for the winning points in a 28-22 victory

over Green Bay in the NFC Championship Game at CenturyLink Field.

“It’s a tough game,” Kearse said when asked about his emotional roller-coaster ride.

“You’ve got to be mentally tough. You’ve got to learn how to push through those types of moments.

“It’s just making plays when the opportunity presents itself,” he said. “Russell just kept giving me chances, and I made one.”

After a frantic comeback at the end of regulation, the Seahawks won the coin toss for overtime and elected to receive the kickoff.

Four plays later, they had third-and-7 from their own 30-yard line.

Wilson hit wide receiver Doug Baldwin for a 35-yard gain on a deep corner route to keep the drive alive.

On the next play, from the Green Bay 35, the Seahawks came to the line of scrimmage to find the Packers in man coverage with no deep safety.

Wilson and Kearse both started drooling at the thought of Kearse going one-on-one with cornerback Tramon Williams from the right slot with no safety help, and Wilson changed to a play that would

send Kearse on a post route.

“We saw that it was cover zero, so everybody was lined up at linebacker depth, and I knew it was just me and Tramon,” Kearse said. “I’m still trying to gather myself.

“I knew it was going to be one-on-one with no one in the middle, and I just got off the ball and just tried to make a play.”

“They had brought everybody up in the box, cover zero,” Wilson said. “I just wanted to give Jermaine Kearse a chance to go win the game, and he always finds a way to do that somehow.

“I threw the ball out there for him and audibled the play, checked the play, and, sure enough, we were able to hit Jermaine Kearse for the touchdown to go to Super Bowl XLIX.” Wilson said he still had absolute faith in Kearse at that point despite the earlier troubles.

“I just kept talking to him.

‘Hey, man, I’m going to keep coming to you. Be ready. We’re going to win this game. You’re going to win the game for us,’” Wilson said.

“When we had the kickoff in overtime, I knew I was going to throw a touchdown to Jermaine,” Wilson said.

“That’s what I told (offensive

coordinator Darrell) Bevell.”

Kearse also had the touchdown reception that put Seattle ahead to stay in last year’s NFC Championship Game against San Francisco. And last week he had a team playoff record 63-yard touchdown catch against Carolina.

In seven career playoff games, Kearse has four touchdown receptions.

All this from a local product — Lakes High School in Tacoma and the University of Washington — who came into the NFL as an undrafted free agent in 2012.

“He was very emotional after the game because he knew he was in the midst of a lot of things that didn’t go right for us today,” Seattle head coach Pete Carroll said. “What a great story, you know, local kid and all of that, wins the game with that touchdown catch.

“He was totally emotional about it because he felt like he had not been able to come through in some other situations,” Carroll said.

“But that is exactly the Jermaine Kearse that I was talking about,” Carroll said. “He just finds a way to do stuff for us, another touchdown in a playoff game in a critical situation, and wins the game.

“It was just extraordinary.”

SEAHAWKS | Notebook

Sherman, Thomas play through painful injuries

By John Boyle, Rich Myhre And Todd Fredrickson Herald Writers

SEATTLE — At least it wasn’t boring this time for Richard Sherman.

When the Seahawks hosted Green Bay in the NFL season opener, the Packers never targeted a receiver covered by Sherman, leading to a frustrating day for Seattle’s All-Pro cornerback.

This time Sherman was very much in the thick of things.

On the first series of the game, Sherman intercepted a pass in the end zone to thwart one Packer threat.

Then, at the end of regulation, he tackled Green Bay wide receiver Jordy Nelson short of a first down to force the Packers to kick a tying field goal when a touchdown would have won the game.

In between, he injured his left elbow and was clearly favoring it throughout the fourth quarter of Seattle’s 28-22 overtime victory at CenturyLink Field.

“I couldn’t really extend my arm,” Sherman said. “I’m not coming out of the NFC championship game. You come out there and you’re letting your

teammates down, and I’m not going to let my teammates down.”

He said he was surprised Green Bay didn’t go after him more after the injury, which occurred on the first play of the fourth quarter.

“I couldn’t put my hands on guys, at least my left hand, so I had to do my press with my right,” he said. “I was little surprised, honestly.”

Seattle safety Earl Thomas also finished the game with a bad wing. He missed a series in the second quarter to have his left shoulder X-rayed.

Like Sherman, he said there was no way he was coming out of the game.

“I’ll be fine. I’ll be fine,” Thomas said. “There’s too much at stake for me to be sitting in here while my teammates are out there battling.

I’m going to be out there with my teammates no matter what.”

Teammates and coaches were thoroughly impressed with the way both All-Pros played through their injuries.

“You could tell both of them were in a lot of pain,” middle linebacker Bobby Wagner said.

“But they have a lot of heart and a lot of grit, and nothing was going to take them off the

field. That’s the type of players we have on this team. You’ve got to damn near kill us to get us off the field.”

“How do you play bumpand-run with one arm?” Seattle head coach Pete Carroll said of Sherman. “But he did. He hurt his elbow, but he knew he could make it, and somehow he was doing it. It was a feat by him to get through that and keep competing.

“It’s just total guts, just guts,” Carroll said. “Both those guys, you watch them, you listen to those guys, they’ve been in front, they’re the real deal.

They’re the real deal when it comes to competing. They’re as good as you can get at battling.”

Carroll said he expects both players to be whole and in top form for the Super Bowl in two weeks.

Sherman agreed “I’ll be out there,” he said. “I promise that.”

Bennett goes for a ride Defensive end Michael Bennett decided to celebrate Seattle’s victory by borrowing a bicycle from a Seattle police officer who was on the field.

Bennett rode a complete lap around the field before joining the celebration at the platform in the middle.

Wagner said he doesn’t believe

Bennett asked for permission.

“When you win a Super Bowl,” Wagner said, “you can do whatever you want.”

The Seattle Police Department even had fun with it, posting a picture of the cycling Bennett on Twitter that said, “Just bring it back before Super Bowl XLIX.” So what will Bennett do if the Seahawks win another Super Bowl?

“I’m going to borrow Mr. (Paul) Allen’s helicopter.”

Lots of respect Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers reportedly had a nagging calf muscle injury coming into the game, but he showed no ill effects against the Seahawks.

Rodgers was 19-for-34 for 178 yards and a touchdown. Those stats are less than outstanding by his standards, but they appeared to be good enough to win until Seattle staged its remarkable comeback. “(Rodgers) is a warrior,” Thomas said. “We all respect him. There’s a reason he gets all the credit he gets, and he deserves everything.”

Hard to believe Place-kicker Steven Hauschka was part of two terrific plays by Seattle’s special teams — a fake field goal for a touchdown and a successful onside kick — and he understood how fortunate and how unusual that is.

“I can’t even count how many ridiculous plays there were (in the game),” Hauschka said. “That has to go down in history as one of the craziest games.”

Report Card Offense

F then A

Can we give the offense two different grades? Because it was pretty awful for most of the game, then spectacular down the stretch. As Russell Wilson threw four interceptions, his receivers dropped passes — or worse, tipped them to defensive backs — and the run game struggled to get going, the Seahawks found themselves in a big hole. But then when all looked lost, Wilson, Marshawn Lynch and the rest of the offense engineered two touchdown drives to take the lead, then went 87 yards in overtime for the winner.

Defense

A-

There were a few miscues and obviously the Seahawks would have preferred to get a stop at the end of regulation and not need overtime. But it’s hard to overstate the job the defense did while being put in a very bad spot early. Had Richard Sherman not have intercepted Aaron Rodgers in the end zone, and had the defense not forced field goals after consecutive turnovers, the comeback doesn’t happen.

The Packers did run the ball with some success, but more importantly, the defense held Rodgers to just 174 yards and a 55.8 passer rating.

Special teams

A-

There were a couple of mistakes — allowing a long punt return, a fumbled kickoff return, etc.. But two special teams plays were a huge part of the comeback victory.

First Jon Ryan threw a 19-yard TD pass to Garry Gilliam on a fake field goal. Then with Seattle needing a successful onside kick to get possession in the waning minutes of the game, Steven Hauschka provided the perfect high one-bounce kick and Chris Matthews recovered.

Coaching

A-

Like the offense, this probably deserves two grades.While it’s on the players to execute, it’s fair to wonder what the heck is going on when the Seahawks are turning the ball over left and right and playing one of their worst games in years. But whatever was said or changed at halftime certainly worked, and a team that has been resilient all season came through in absurdly dramatic fashion.

MISSED FIELD GOALS—None.

On Sunday the play was called by the coaches on the sideline, though Seattle’s field goal team had the option of kicking if the Packers “didn’t present the right look (at the line of scrimmage),” Ryan said. “But as long as we had the look on the field that we wanted to go with, we’d stick with it. “(The Packers) were rushing us hard off the edge and we thought we could take advantage of it,” he said.

Ryan’s first option was to run the ball, but as a Green Bay defender approached he simply

tossed a short pass to Gilliam, who had brush-blocked at the line and then broke free in the secondary.

As the ball approached, “it was like it was spinning in slow motion,” said Gilliam, a rookie who played tight end at Penn State until his senior season, when he moved to tackle. “I’m honored to be part of this team (and help) in any way I can. And to score a touchdown at that point in the game was huge.”

Steven Hauschka’s onside kick came after a 1-yard Wilson run with 2:13 to play in the

fourth quarter, which pulled the Seahawks within 19-14. Angling the ball toward the Green Bay sideline, the kick immediately bounded off the ground and high into the air.

Green Bay’s Brandon Bostick had a chance to make the catch, but the ball slipped through his hands and off his face mask, and was then caught out of the air

by Seattle’s Chris Matthews, a backup wide receiver. The play gave the Seahawks possession at midfield.

When Seattle was driving for the Wilson touchdown, Seattle coaches told Hauschka the onside kick was coming, “so I got a chance to practice it on the sideline. And it was helpful to get that feel for it.”

The trick to executing a good onside kick, particularly on turf, is “literally kicking the nose (of the football) into the ground and then it pops up,” Hauschka said.

The funny thing is, he added, “we haven’t kicked one of those in the four years I’ve been here.

And I’ve only kicked a couple in my whole career.”

For Matthews, who was with Seattle for the first game of the season, then waived, then resigned to the team’s practice squad and finally promoted to the active roster, his role in Seattle’s victory “is so surreal. This is a blessing to me. I’m here now, my team did it and I was a part of it,” he said.

four turnovers and seven penalties. Wilson was 2-for-9 for 12 yards and three interceptions, and he had been sacked twice.

The Packers started three drives from inside the Seattle 35 and two others at their own 44.

Against a lesser defense, the halftime score could very easily have been 35-0.

But it was only 16-0, and the Seahawks, somehow, were still in the game.

“Control what you can control,” Seattle defensive end Cliff Avril said of the defensive mindset during the first half. “As a defense, we weren’t giving up touchdowns, which was big.

“It could have got out of hand quick, but we made it happen,” Avril said. “We didn’t give up touchdowns a few times on those goal line stands, which was huge, obviously. It was a big deal.”

There were critical defensive plays everywhere.

All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman picked off a pass in the end zone to end Green Bay’s first drive.

On the next series, after a turnover, Malcolm Smith and Bruce

Irvin stopped running back Eddie Lacy on third-and-goal from the 1.

On the next series, after, yes, another turnover, Thomas tackled wide receiver Randall Cobb at the 2 on third-and-goal.

The Packers led 13-0 after one quarter.

“That first quarter might have been the longest quarter of my life,” Seattle defensive tackle Kevin Williams said. “It seemed like it was never going to end.

But we kept fighting and kept fighting, and we finally got the tilt on our side.”

In the second quarter, cornerback Byron Maxwell had an interception at the Seattle 33 to end a threat.

Linebacker K.J. Wright broke up a pass on third down with five minutes left in the game.

Sherman, by then favoring an injured left elbow, tackled Jordy Nelson short of a first down with 19 seconds left in the game, forcing the Packers to kick a tying field goal when a touchdown would have won the game.

“It was great for us to go out there and not hang our heads or blame the offense,” Thomas

said. “Just try to hold them to three. Try to force a turnover while we’re trying to hold them to three.”

All the while, Seattle defenders swear they continued to have faith that the offense would get it together in time to pull out an unlikely victory.

“You’re not even thinking about doubt,” Thomas said.

“You’re not thinking about anything. You’re just thinking about staying in the moment, holding your own. At any time it could be your number being called to make the play.”

“There was zero percent doubt,” All-Pro middle linebacker Bobby Wagner said. “On our defensive sideline we just kept saying let’s get them the ball back and we’re going to win this game.”

Wagner said his confidence soared when the Seahawks won the coin toss for overtime.

“When we won the toss, I knew we won,” Wagner said. “We were going to score some points, because we had the momentum, and they were going to have to score on us, which was not likely.”

Not on this day.

Herald Writer

SEATTLE — In a game the Seattle Seahawks ultimately needed a few miracles to win, they got two big ones from their special teams in Sunday’s 28-22 overtime victory against Green Bay in Sunday’s NFC championship game.

The first was a fake field goal midway through the third quarter that became a touchdown when holder/punter Jon Ryan took the ball and rolled to his left before passing to tackle and eligible receiver Garry Gilliam in the end zone. The second was a make-or-break onside kick with a little over two minutes to play that Seattle turned into a goahead touchdown.

Though Green Bay got a late field goal to send the game to overtime, Seattle won with a touchdown pass from quarterback Russell Wilson to wide receiver Jermaine Kearse just 3:19 into OT. Fake field goals and onside kicks are iffy plays, but they were golden for the Seahawks on Sunday. The fake field goal caught the Packers completely by surprise, with Ryan passing to a wide-open Gilliam for a touchdown that closed Seattle’s deficit to 16-7.

According to Ryan, Seattle coaches put the play in at Thursday’s team practice.

Seahawks tackle Garry Gilliam (with ball) celebrates after catching a 19-yard touchdown pass on a fake field goal play in the third quarter.

“It’s a togetherness, it’s a relentless effort to find a way, no matter what it looks like, and so I’m so excited for our defense and all the crazy plays that they made,” Wilson said.

“They were lights out tonight for the most part, and it’s just pretty spectacular.”

Green Bay had a modest 306 yards of total offense, and AllPro quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed a relatively quiet, for him, 19 of 34 passes for 178 yards and one touchdown.

But the most important statistic, by far, was that the Packers scored only one touchdown.

Green Bay kicker Mason Crosby kicked five field goals, two of them after the Seattle defense held the Packers at the 1-yard line.

The rest of the team appeared to be in self-destruct mode in the first half, perhaps the least productive half in Seahawks history.

At halftime, Seattle had three first downs, 59 yards, no points,
