Volunteers package 150,000 meals for the hungry near and far

By Noah Haglund Herald Writer

SNOHOMISH — The atmosphere was festive, even as volunteers confronted a life-ordeath issue.

Hundreds of people bustled outside the Snohomish Events Center on Saturday to package meals for impoverished families.

The event dubbed “Fight Against Hunger” was a first in Washington. It had an ambitious goal: mix enough nonperishable packets of rice and soy powder, vitamins and spice to feed 150,000 people.

Know-how came from a local company that specializes in easy-to-fix meals. Nonprofits provided connections to deliver

the food locally and in east Africa.

More than 1,000 volunteers supplied the energy to get it done.

“It’s been everything I’d hoped for,” said Darin Leonard, CEO of Dream Dinners, the Snohomishbased company that spearheaded the effort. “One of the coolest things is the kids ... I’d say about

one-third of the kids out here are under 15 years old, packing meals for kids they don’t know.”

Setup began around 6 a.m.

Three hours later, volunteers started arriving hundreds at a time to work one-hour shifts.

EVERETT — The former head of the Snohomish County PUD has requested several hundred emails, expense reports and other public records related to a whistleblower working at the utility.

The public utility district’s recently retired CEO and General Manager Steve Klein accused the worker of conspiring against him and the PUD in his records requests.

The PUD declined to comment on Klein’s allegations.

The whistleblower, Anthony Curtis, declined to speak on the record about the records requests.

Earlier this year, he filed a complaint that prompted an independent investigation into a series of no-bid contracts the PUD gave to a company started

Ruling may have sidetracked motocross plan for good GRANITE FALLS — Plans to build an off-road motorcycle racetrack along the Mountain Loop Highway may have fallen through for good following a judge’s ruling last month.

The decision overturns approvals that would have allowed the project to take shape on forestland northeast of Granite Falls.

It halted a decade-long quest by motocross riders to build a track in Snohomish County, but handed a victory to neighbors and environmental groups who opposed it.

The track’s main backer said he’s giving up, even though the court ruling can be appealed.

“There’s not going to be a track,” Gary Strode said. “I don’t know if everybody even knows yet. I’m still trying to digest it myself.”

GOP hopefuls likely to zero Miss America crown in on Trump during debate goes to Miss Georgia Associated Press WASHINGTON — Gladiator season may have arrived in the fight for the Republican nomination.

Three days before the next Republican presidential debate, signs abound that some rivals of billionaire developer Donald Trump are taking direct aim at his decisive lead with attacks on his divisive rhetoric and vague policy.

“There will probably be more elbows thrown at that debate,” Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

The field would narrow, he added: “There’s not enough hard cash to go around to pay campaigns in these states in order to keep 17 candidates alive.”

“They have enough nutrients in the rice packets to reverse the effects of malnutrition,” Kuna said.

Founded in 2002, Dream Dinners now has almost 90 franchises in 25 states. The company caters to busy families with healthy meals that are prepared ahead of time so they can be served in a hurry.

“We’re trying to provide easier ways for families to spend time around the table,” Kuna said.

Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California, is the last chance for several weeks to claim the national spotlight.

Pope Francis is poised to eclipse national politics with his tour of the hemisphere, football season begins and Congress faces serious decisions about whether to fund or close the government.

“Pobrecito (poor guy).”

And Carly Fiorina, whose face Trump ridiculed in a Rolling Stone interview, tried dismissal.

Dream Dinners and Living the Dream Foundation teamed up with a San Diego-based nonprofit called Friends and Family Community Connection to pull off Saturday’s event.

Friends and Family has distributed more than 11 million meals in the United States and overseas. It has hosted meal-packing events in California and several other states.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — Miss Georgia Betty Cantrell is the new Miss America.

Cantrell rode an opera performance to the title in Atlantic City’s Boardwalk Hall Sunday night, besting 51 other competitors in the nationally televised pageant.

The pageant also marked the return of Miss America 1984 Vanessa Williams, who was back for the first time after resigning the crown following a nude photo scandal. Pageant executive chairman Sam Haskell apologized to Williams on behalf of the pageant.

“I want to apologize for anything that was said or done,” Haskell told Williams as they stood on the stage.

“Vanessa: Welcome back!”

For Williams, who went on to stardom on television and on the Broadway stage, it was a triumphant return to the Miss America stage.

The churches are: Snohomish Community Church, Sonrise Christian Center in south Everett, and The Father’s House Foursquare Church in Granite Falls.

The Father’s House pastor, the Rev. Shawn Roberts, said his church helps feed up to 80 families through a food bank it operates on the first and third Friday of every month. Joining the Fight Against Hunger made sense.

Shannon Malinosky, a Father’s House member, helped sign up volunteers.

Most of the shoes had designs specific to the contestant’s home states. New Jersey, for instance, had dice and Monopoly money on her shoes in a nod to the pageant’s Atlantic City history. Miss Idaho has a potato.

“I love that they came to Snohomish because we’re such a small-town community,” said the 15-year-old, who broke a sweat after carrying tubs of packaged meals for shipping. “We’d like to have it next year.”

Answering the wildfire call once again Fire District 1 Capt. Shaughn Maxwell, who helped fight the Carlton Complex fire in 2014, returned this summer to lead a medical unit in the largest wildfire in state history.

By Eric Stevick Herald Writer

EVERETT — Shaughn Maxwell knew he had to head home.

A massive wildfire — which would become bigger and fiercer than any he had ever seen in 27 years as a firefighter

— threatened the Methow Valley in rural Eastern Washington.

It scorched much of his childhood stomping grounds, including a favorite spot along Elbow Coulee where he used to sled in the winter. His parents still live alongside the Twisp River a few miles outside of town.

Maxwell, a captain with Snohomish County Fire District 1, has been a paramedic since 1993. A year ago, he returned to the Methow Valley to help with the Carlton Complex fire, which was until this summer the largest wildfire in state history.

On the morning of Aug. 19 he called the director of the Aero Methow Rescue Service to check on conditions and offer moral support.

That afternoon, as the fire took

a turn for the worse, the director called him to ask if he could come to help. That same day, three U.S. Forest Service firefighters were trapped in their vehicle and died.

Maxwell approached Fire Chief Ed Widdis at Fire District 1 headquarters south of Everett.

“Go help them,” the chief told him.

The drive to the Twisp Riverbend Spike Camp took eight hours. The highway was closed at

Newhalem and he had to backtrack to U.S. 2.

He reached the fire camp around midnight and was briefed until 2 a.m. He could see the flames creeping toward town.

Maxwell served as the medical unit leader, overseeing the daily and emergency needs of firefighters.

Only one can reasonably be described as “fun.” (Children smiling in the rear-view mirror from their car seats may beg to differ.)

The notorious curve by the park will have its ups and downs for the foreseeable future.

“The section of State Route 96 near McCollum Park was built on landfill, which has settled through the years and created some dips in the pavement,” said Tom Pearce, a Washington State Department of Transportation spokesperson.

The changes meet modern safety standards.

The deadline is 4 p.m. Sept. 28.

Commissioners serve four-year terms advising the police chief and other officials on matters

EVERETT — James White smiled as a Snohomish County Superior Court judge warned him to stay away from his neighbors.

Judge Janice Ellis was telling White, 44, that the fire he started could have been deadly and she believed he was a risk to the community.

“I see you smiling. What is amusing?” Ellis asked late last week.

White told the judge she didn’t know the whole story. Ellis reminded White that she’d given him chance to speak before she sentenced him to 17 months in prison.

“I didn’t start this,” White said.

Ellis told the Snohomish man that if he had a dispute with his neighbors, there were other ways to resolve it besides arson.

“If you have a conflict with people, bring it to this courthouse,” Ellis said.

She ordered White not to have any contact with his neighbors for 10 years. White can ask a judge to revisit the order if he ends up returning to the same mobile home park, Ellis said.

Earlier this month White pleaded guilty to second-degree arson. He was ordered to undergo an evaluation for drug addiction.

Court papers say White was on a four-day methamphetamine binge July 18 when he set a rolled up newspaper ablaze and dropped it outside his neighbors’ door.

The couple was home at the time. The husband, who was in the backyard, smelled smoke, discovered the burning paper and put it out with a garden hose.

The man confronted White, who made nonsensical statements, pushed him and walked off before barricading himself in a shed behind his trailer.

White told approaching deputies that he had a bomb. He was holding a large Japanese-style sword. White’s mother told police her son didn’t have a bomb and he’d been using meth.

The PUD is still churning through Klein’s records requests, vetting each of the hundreds of documents for information that shouldn’t be disclosed or requires the district to notify a third party. It has delivered some records already.

“The records have answered many questions and confirmed many concerns,” Klein said in an email to The Herald. He did not provide further detail.

improvements to nearby Elgin Way. The road, just a tenth of a mile long, is to be fully closed through Sept. 29, or whenever the project is complete. Kamins Construction is building a sidewalk with curb and gutter, retaining walls and storm sewer improvements, as well as doing some paving.

The goal is to make it safer and easier for pedestrians to cross 128th Street from Elgin Way as they access McCollum Park and its popular park and ride facility.

the PUD at the front of the industry’s clean-energy efforts.

The PUD since 2012 has awarded four no-bid contracts worth nearly $15 million to 1Energy.

The ethics investigation found that the district broke its ethics policy by not taking adequate steps to prevent “any inference of favoritism or undue influence” in awarding the initial contract.

Klein started requesting records in early May after The Herald first reported on the investigation and a few days after he had retired, a decision he announced before the whistleblower complaint.

In three requests filed the same morning, he asked for Curtis’

complaint, and for phone logs and emails between him and his supervisor.

In one request, Klein accused Curtis of having “some motive and agenda that goes beyond the whistleblower process,” and characterized his behavior as “irrational”.

In his request for emails between Curtis and his supervisor, Klein said “I suspect that these two individuals have conspired to purposely defame me and the clean energy accomplishments of the PUD while I was the general manager.”

Curtis and his supervisor have been heavily involved in the PUD’s work developing energy storage systems since it began in 2011.

The signal timing problem was related to a major overlay of Airport Road, and things should be back to normal. A contractor was splicing the loops that were replaced and was scheduled to complete that work last week, city staff said.

At $4.2 million, the Airport Road paving project was the largest on Everett’s 2015 to-do list. Snohomish County has jurisdiction over part of the corridor and helped cover the costs.

and unloaded) cross this bridge. … Why is there no enforcement?”

Snohomish County Public Works Deputy Director Owen Carter responded: “I want to thank you for bringing this to my attention.

You are correct that the County placed an emergency weight limit of 18 tons on the W. Fork Quilceda Creek Bridge… It is the County’s intent to reinforce the structural members of the bridge so the load limit can be removed. However, this work has not been completed at this time…

I will ask the Sheriff to do some emphasis enforcement to correct this situation.”

According to the 140th Street NE project website, design work is slated to wrap up in 2017 with construction planned for as early as 2018, if money for the work is secured.

In addition to replacing the bridge, the project proposes adding a traffic signal and turn lanes at the intersection of 140th Street NE and 23rd Avenue NE, among other improvements. Learn more at www.snohomishcountywa.gov/2695.

more than 23,000 emails.

Klein identified at least a few hundred to be disclosed.

Those emails include communications between Curtis and the outside attorney investigating the complaint. A handful of emails requested by Klein appear to pertain to the whistleblower’s personal medical issues.

In July, Klein filed three more records requests, including the worker’s expense reports related to attending two industry conferences.

“I want specific detail so I can ascertain the expenses he claimed per day and for what specific purpose,” he said.

He also asked for copies of the district’s policies on travel expense

to justify the new zoning.

That rendered the plans invalid.

“I am happy that the judge confirmed what we have been saying all along, that the rezone of this property from its forestry zoning designation was illegal and a nonforestry use, such as a motocross racetrack facility, cannot be located there,” neighbor Ginger Amundson said.

Amundson filed the court challenge in conjunction with developer Marty Robinett and the nonprofit Mountain Loop Conservancy.

“Obviously we’re happy with the ruling,” said Paul Sheppard, the Conservancy’s president.

“The ruling ... was not on motocross, it was on zoning. Those laws are there to protect all of us, whether you’re a landowner or a visitor or a business owner. All of those people depend on the zoning laws being upheld.”

The North Cascades Conservation Council and the Pilchuck Audubon Society also opposed the track at earlier stages in the approval process.

Sheppard said track opponents were prepared to challenge the environmental impacts and other aspects of the project in court, but there was no need.

That leaves Strode and his partners walking away from 10-plus years and more than a million dollars of investment.

He said he’s not considering any alternative location.

reimbursement, and those for serving on external committees and accepting gratuities from companies, among others.

In his request, Klein asks for information on the process used “to justify” Curtis’ participation on a “highly technical” committee.

He also asked for information about the employee’s educational background and the technical requirements for any job classifications he has held at the PUD. Klein also asks for records about a handful of companies which had sent or exchanged emails with Curtis.

operating without permits near the Skykomish River south of Monroe.

Though county officials wouldn’t let Strode run a track on the Monroe property, they allowed a monster truck rally to take place there a few years later.

Soon after the Monroe track closed, Stode and his partners tried to start a new venture in Maltby. That failed because of neighborhood opposition and zoning restrictions.

In 2006, the County Council agreed to open up some commercial forestland for motocross.

Organizers would have to obtain permits, meet noise standards — and rezone the land.

A year later, MXGP applied to build the track.

The approval process stretched on another seven years as consultants proposed ways to dampen motorcycle noise and protect wildlife habitat. Planners reviewed the ideas and suggested changes.

In 2013, Strode said the county’s restrictions had forced him to scale back plans to what amounted to a mom-and-pop operation.

This past December, county hearing examiner pro tem Phil Olbrechts approved the track. The examiner, however, imposed 14 pages of special conditions about noise, water runoff, light pollution, fire dangers and hours of operation.

The County Council in March upheld the examiner’s decision.

Snohomish County attorneys argued before North in support of the council’s ruling. They have not yet decided whether to appeal.

ACROSS THE U.S.

Railroad refusing to give out safety info MILWAUKEE — Despite urging from a federal agency that railroads hand over more information on safety conditions of bridges, a carrier moving Bakken crude oil through Milwaukee says it doesn’t plan to provide such details.

Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., distributed a letter from Sarah Feinberg, acting administrator of the Federal Railroad Administration, in which the regulator urged railroad carriers to provide more information to municipalities on the safety status of bridges. Bridges must be inspected annually by railroads. But railroads are not required to submit the information to the federal agency. Railroads also are not required to make the information available to the public.

Migrants walk at the railway track after crossing the border line between Serbia and Hungary near Roszke, southern Hungary, on Sunday.

Hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees and others are still making their way slowly across Europe.

Germany stops refugee flow The temporary stanch sends message to rest of Europe: Help

By Geir Moulson and Shawn Pogatchnik Associated Press

BERLIN — Germany introduced temporary border controls Sunday to stem the tide of thousands of refugees streaming across its frontier, sending a clear message to its European partners that it needs more help with an influx that is straining its ability to cope.

Germany is a preferred destination for many people fleeing Syria’s civil war and other troubled nations in the migration crisis that has bitterly divided Europe. They have braved dangerous sea crossings in flimsy boats — another 34 drowned Sunday off Greece — and made long treks across unwelcoming countries in hopes of a better life.

More than a week ago, Germany and Austria agreed to let in migrants who had massed in Hungary, saying it was a one-time measure to ease an emergency. The flow has continued undiminished, and while Germans have remained welcoming, officials said the numbers were straining the country’s ability to provide accommodations.

Berlin has become increasingly frustrated with the reluctance of many other countries in the 28-nation European Union — especially those in the former Eastern bloc — to share the burden of hosting the newcomers. Sunday’s action came a day before a meeting of EU interior ministers to discuss the crisis.

“The aim of this measure is to limit the current influx to Germany and to return to orderly

Migrants arrive from Munich at Schoenefeld train station near Berlin on Sunday.

entry procedures,” Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere told reporters. “This is also urgently necessary for security reasons.”

The move, de Maiziere said, was also “a signal to Europe: Germany is facing up to its humanitarian responsibility, but the burdens connected with the large number of refugees must be distributed in solidarity within Europe.”

Germany’s national railway, Deutsche Bahn, said it had suspended service from Austria to Germany for 12 hours at the orders of authorities. Most new arrivals have come by train.

De Maiziere noted that Germany isn’t technically responsible for most of the new arrivals, pointing to EU rules under which they are supposed to be registered and processed in the first EU country where they arrived. He urged other countries to apply those rules,

and said people seeking protection cannot choose the country where they receive it.

Passport-free travel in much of the continent under the so-called Schengen agreement is considered one of the EU’s signal achievements.

The agreement allows countries to reintroduce controls in exceptional circumstances, as Germany did for the Group of Seven summit in June. The European Commission said the crisis “appears to be a situation covered by the rules.”

Hungarian police say more than 186,000 people have passed through Hungary from Serbia this year en route to Austria and Germany. The main point of arrival in Germany has been Munich, where officials say 63,000 people have come since the end of August, including over 12,000 Saturday.

About 450,000 migrants have entered Germany so far

this year and a total of at least 800,000 are expected for all of 2015 — by far the most in the EU. Many first come ashore in the EU on Greece’s eastern islands after risky boat journeys. Scores have drowned making the crossing from Turkey.

Greece’s coast guard said the 34 who died Sunday, including four infants and 11 older children, drowned when their wooden boat containing more than 130 people capsized near the island of Farmakonissi.

Officials said 68 others were rescued while 30 more swam to the barely populated island.

On Saturday, two other boats carrying asylum seekers capsized in the Aegean and at least five people — four children and a 20-year-old man — were presumed drowned.

Such risks have not deterred people from trying to reach Greece’s eastern islands, where they pursue a more than 1,000mile odyssey to the heart of Europe via the Balkans and Hungary.

But Hungarian authorities have vowed to fortify their southern frontier and — starting Tuesday — prosecute those who try to evade border police.

Hungarian army engineers spent Sunday expanding the country’s planned 109-mile border fence with Serbia and crowning it with coils of razor wire.

Police said 4,330 were detected crossing on foot in the previous 24 hours, more than 700 higher than the previous one-day record, as trekkers tried to reach Hungary before the tougher security measures take effect.

California wildfire kills 1, destroys 400 homes Associated Press Authorities say a wildfire that overtook several Northern California towns has killed at least one person and destroyed more than 400 homes and businesses.

A California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection spokeswoman released the tally Sunday evening as firefighters continue to battle the out-of-control blaze north of San Francisco in Lake County.

Lynn Valentine said officials confirmed one fatality, though she had no immediate information on the deceased.

Residents streamed from Middletown on Sunday morning and had to dodge smoldering telephone poles, downed power lines and fallen trees as they drove through billowing smoke.

Four firefighters who are members of a helicopter crew were injured Saturday while battling the flames. They remained hospitalized in stable condition Sunday, officials said.

ERIC RISBERG / ASSOCIATED PRESS

A frame and trees are all that is left around a home destroyed by fire Sunday in Middletown, California.

People were ordered Sunday to evacuate a stretch along Highway 281, including Clear Lake Riviera, a town with about 3,000 residents, Cal Fire said.

The 78-square-mile fire erupted Saturday afternoon and rapidly chewed through brush and trees parched from several years of drought, Cal Fire said.

Gov. Jerry Brown on Sunday declared a state of emergency to free up resources.

Brown had already declared a state of emergency for the separate 101-square-mile wildfire about 70 miles southeast of Sacramento that has destroyed at least 81 homes and 51 outbuildings and turned the grassy, tree-studded Sierra Nevada foothills an eerie white.

Meanwhile, a fire that broke out Saturday afternoon near the town of Coarsegold in the Sierra foothills has prompted a mandatory evacuation order.

A California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection spokesman said that fire has torched at least 10 acres.

Coarsegold, which is home to approximately 1,840 people, is located on the route from Fresno to Yosemite National Park.

And pilots aboard an air tanker fighting the Rough Fire east of Fresno were forced to make an emergency landing shortly after taking off from Fresno’s airport when an engine malfunctioned Sunday.

Fresno police Lt. Mike Doyle said debris from the fixedwing Erickson Aero Tanker jet fell and shattered the rear window of a parked car Sunday afternoon. No one the ground was hurt and the plane landed safely.

The Rough Fire is the largest wildfire in the state after burning 203 square miles of forest land.

Okla.: Four inmates dead after a 2-minute prison fight An altercation between inmates that lasted about two minutes resulted in the death of four prisoners, the company that runs the Cimarron Correctional Facility in Cushing, Oklahoma, said Sunday. Four other inmates were hospitalized — and three remain there after the “altercation,” which began just after 4 p.m.

Saturday in the medium-security section of the prison. It took staff about 38 minutes to quell the disturbance and secure the housing area, said Corrections Corporation of America, which runs the facility on behalf of the Oklahoma Department of Corrections.

Nev.: Las Vegas ‘Iron Chef’ winner, Simon, dies at 60 Kerry Simon, a former “Iron Chef” champ who served up dishes to rock bands such as Led Zeppelin and Mötley Crüe, has died. He was 60. His business partner, Cory Harwell, said that Simon died Friday morning at a hospice facility in Las Vegas. Simon was diagnosed with Multiple System Atrophy, a degenerative neurological disorder, and died from complications related to the disease. Simon is survived by three brothers.

AROUND THE WORLD Japan: Volcano erupts Mount Aso, a volcano on the southern Japanese island of Kyushu, has erupted, sending huge plumes of black and then white smoke 6,560 feet into the air. The eruption Monday prompted authorities to raise the alert level for the area, banning people from approaching within 1.25 miles of the volcano’s mouth. There are no homes within that area and there were no immediate reports of injuries or damage. The national television network NHK cited local police as saying they had safely evacuated the area near a ropeway on the mountain and were having other visitors move to lower elevations. Police were still checking to see if any hikers were in the restricted area.

Egypt: At least 12 tourists killed in mistaken attack The Egyptian Interior Ministry says 12 tourists were killed and 10 injured in shooting in the western desert. The Egyptian ministry said late Sunday that police and armed forces were pursuing terrorist elements in the western desert and mistakenly fired on four cars that turned out to be filled with Mexican tourists. The ministry said the victims were Mexican and Egyptian.

Mexico’s foreign ministry said consular representatives are at the el Hospital Dar-el-Fouad in suburban Cairo to find out what happened and had interview five survivors. It did not provide details of what they said.

Syria: Russia expanding major Syrian airport Russian forces are expanding the tarmac of a major airport in Syria’s coastal province of Latakia, a stronghold of President Bashar Assad and his minority sect, a prominent Syrian monitoring group said Sunday. The report comes amid rising concern among U.S. officials of increased Russian military activity in Syria. Russia, a longtime backer of Syria’s government, denies it’s trying to bolster Assad and says its increased military activity is part of the international effort to defeat the Islamic State group which has wreaked havoc in Syria and Iraq.

Building boom hits Smokey Point The project includes stores, restaurants and family and senior housing, with an eye toward future traffic mitigation

By John Wolcott Herald Business Journal

MARYSVILLE — The same developers who built the Mill Creek Town Center and Snohomish Station are building a 1.6 million-square-foot project in the Smokey Point area that will bring a new wave of shops and apartments.

The project includes a 910,000-square-foot shopping center called The Marketplace and 723,000 square feet of mixed use space that will include multifamily apartments called The Lodge.

The development is expected to open this fall on the north side of 172nd Street NE. Bellevue developers Steve Malsam and Len Evans are teaming up on the project.

“We are very excited with our newest center, following our Mill Creek Town Center and Snohomish Station developments,” Malsam said. “With our high-end multi-family projects at Lakewood, we will be creating a unique mixed-use project that the Marysville community will be proud of. The city of Marysville has been very helpful in putting all of this together.”

Malsam declined to place a monetary value on the entire development.

Tenants for the The Marketplace include Dick’s Sporting Goods as a major anchor, along with Party City, Hop Jack’s restaurant, Outback Steakhouse and Bonefish, which will share the same grill in a single building, plus a Hobby Lobby, T-Mobile, Aveda Hair Salon and a Qdoba Mexican restaurant.

City inspectors are expected to give approval in September for the Dick’s Sporting Goods to open, but it will likely take a couple more months for staff to be hired and trained.

The Lodge includes 182 apartments that are leasing now; a second phase with another eight buildings and 160 apartments will undergo construction in the spring.

Another developer, The Island Group in Spokane, is building The Vintage, 187 apartments adjacent to the shopping center.

Those units are aimed at people 55 and older.

The Vintage will provide needed diversity in housing for north Snohomish County, said Sydney Parmalee, senior community director for the project.

“There’s no other independent senior living building in the area,” she said. “We’re already pre-leasing space ahead of the completed construction.

The first units should be available in late September in both

The Vintage, a 55-and-older community, is one of two large apartment projects opening at Smokey Point adding hundreds of new homes to the area.

Several new stores and restaurants are expected to open at the Smokey Point Town Center including Dick’s Sporting Goods, Outback Steakhouse, Hop Jack’s, Bonefish and Qdoba. The project is on the north side of 172nd Street NE across from Lakewood Cross shopping center.

one- and two-bedroom styles.”

The Vintage will include common areas with a mini-mart, theater, social room library and other facilities. The development has four-story buildings.

The Lodge Apartments are due to be ready in late September. The development consists of one-, two- and threebedroom apartments, with contemporary conveniences in a lodge environment, including a pool and a community center with a fireplace.

Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring

said he welcomes the innovative major retail and housing development at Smokey Point.

“People want to shop locally so we continue to diversify to give them more commercial opportunities to shop in Marysville and keep spending in town,” Nehring said. “We have a vibrant community and the new housing here will serve seniors as well as families. ” Nehring noted that the new development is across the street from the well-established Lakewood Crossing shopping center,

anchored by Best Buy, Costco, Target and a variety of other stores.

“We’re very cognizant of the fact that this development will create more traffic and that has to be dealt with,” he said.

“With the state, we’re planning an Interstate 5 interchange where an overpass was built a few years ago at 156th Street NE and we may eventually add a new road south of 172nd Street NE but these projects are years away yet.”

In the meantime, the city will

be doing some traffic signal improvements at 27th Avenue and along the Highway 531 frontage road and the developer will be installing a roundabout on 172nd Street NE, Nehring said.

Marysville planning manager Chris Holland said plans call for re-routing 25th Avenue to move its intersection with 172nd St. NE farther from the congested entrance to Lakewood Crossing.

Malsam and Evans have a highly successful history in commercial and housing developments in the Puget Sound area as well as Snohomish County.

Malsam launched Malsam Development Corp. in 1991, developing multi-family housing projects in Redmond, Kirkland and Issaquah.

Evans is president of The Evans Co., which owns or manages 530,000 square feet of office space and more than 120,000 square feet of commercial space in Bellevue, Redmond and Woodinville.

He’s also involved in ownership of a variety of companies, including Bellevue Helicopters, Evans Films, Evans Energy and Evans Center, a 30,000-squarefoot retail and industrial complex in Bellevue.

In 1996, the developers formed Wakefield, a real estate company that built the Mill Creek Town Center, Snohomish Station and 500 apartments in Marysville for the U.S. Navy.

IN OUR VIEW | Missing person advisory system

A Silver Alert success story An elderly man who was reported missing last week was found safe two days later, thanks in part to a new law passed by the Legislature that allows the Washington State Patrol to issue an advisory “Silver Alert” when a person who is 60 or older and diagnosed with dementia or Alzheimer’s is missing, issued through the agency’s Endangered Missing Person Advisory system. (Some day it might make sense to simply have an “endangered missing person” alert, rather than “Amber” or “Silver,” but one thing at a time.)

Family told police that Bryant Merrick, an 83-year-old diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, left his residence around 11 a.m.

Wednesday, and reported the make and model of car he was likely driving. Merrick recently

moved to Issaquah from Everett and was unfamiliar with the area, police said when issuing the Silver Alert on Thursday. On early Friday morning, according to the Issaquah Reporter, the Seattle Police Department found Merrick safe in north Seattle. Once the alert was issued, and the vehicle description displayed on message signs along the interstates, local police received many calls that helped find the 83-year-old man, the paper reported.

Luckily, everything worked as it should in this case, and no one was hurt. Unfortunately, the man was able to gain access to keys and a car. It’s easy to say he should not have been driving in the first place, but it solves nothing, because sometimes the unpredictable reality of dementia and Alzheimer’s can undermine even the most

careful of care plans, and when it does, it’s good to know that a system in place can help find the missing person.

A person’s caregiver, usually a spouse, is generally in the best position to say when a loved one with dementia or Alzheimer’s should retire from driving, according to Mayo Clinic. Negotiating the giving up of the keys, but keeping the person’s dignity and a sense of independence, takes some skill, and often takes more than one try. Fortunately, for caregivers and families, more support and useful advice is available than ever before, as millions of people and their families deal with these diseases. The Alzheimer’s Association website offers step-by-step advice on how to have “the conversation” about driving, and what to do if that conversation doesn’t go well.

In the early stages of an Alzheimer’s diagnosis, people can sign “driving contracts,” or other driving plan, with instructions on what to do when they can no longer drive, giving them an important say about the future, according the Alzheimer’s Association.

Mayo Clinic advises: “Whether your loved one stops driving all at once or in stages, he or she will probably grieve the loss of independence.

Be as patient as you can, but remember to stand firm. The consequences of unsafe driving can be devastating.”

Of course it always helps to have a support system standing firm behind the person standing firm. It often does take a village, as this case shows. Kudos to the people who called in with information about the man.

for the pursuit of this dream more than the United States of America. However, when you burden the producers with the regressive concept that their productivity is to be shared via taxation, then you unfairly hinder that opportunity. An income tax is such a regressive concept that punishes the noblest of citizens who work for a living.

If additional income is the desire of Mr. Burbank, and his like-minded policy seekers, then look at unearned income of millionaires of easy virtue (aka inheritance and capital gains), and those who choose to consume (expand the sales tax to cover the service, and other “exemptions.”) Those are the behaviors that should be taxed, not those earning their way through life. We must have policies that support the opportunity to pursue the American dream. In the meantime, editors, please look for an upgrade in that column space, as there is very little fresh content.

A possible solution: Install a second crossing gate at a right angle to the current gate. One that can be seen along the road of travel.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■ STATE DEPARTMENT

Email systems are quite clear

I wanted to share a thought about the email controversy concerning Hillary Clinton.

She gave an interview on Sept.

4 to Andrea Mitchell from NBC, and Clinton said, “I did all my business on my personal email (in the Senate), I was not thinking a lot when I got in (to the State Department). There was so much work to be done. We had so many problems around the world. I didn’t really stop and think what kind of email system there would be.”

Just to clarify. I worked in State Department about 50 feet from the Secretary’s office.

When I arrived, a gentleman from the IT department came to my office and set up three accounts for me — Unclassified, Secret and Top Secret.

Each came with its own specific email address. The vast majority of my work was on the classified accounts. And, I never used a personal email account for anything work related.

Secretary Clinton makes it sound like she had to fend for herself when it came to setting up email accounts. I am going to suggest that the IT department would perform the same services for the Secretary of State as they would for me. I am also going to suggest if most of my work involved classified material that perhaps the same might be true for the Secretary of State.

In the same interview, Hillary Clinton said, “At the end of the day, I am sorry that this has been so confusing to people and has raised a lot of questions, but there are answers to these questions.”

Let me just suggest, at the end of the day — it does raise a lot of questions. And I think the answers are very unsettling.

What’s reasoning on bus route?

I sympathize with the families of small children at the end of Fobes Road. They have been communicating with the Snohomish School District transportation department for two years, to no avail.

However, there is one fact that is not being addressed.

For several years children living on Fobes Road have been riding the bus to school without the dangerous walk, including my 17-year-old daughter. There was never any

■ OIL TRAINS

Crossings need more visible gate Regarding oil train safety, your recent article, “Prepping for an oil train disaster,” reminded me of two potential disasters that I personally witnessed. Each situation involved a vehicle racing to get across the tracks as a train was approaching a crossing.

The vehicles barely succeeded in each case. The problem, the gate was already down, but they could not see that since the road made a sharp right turn in each case.

Each of these events took place along the waterfront; the first in Seattle and the second in Edmonds by the ferry dock.

■ PARENTING

Positive discipline, proven results I am delighted that Sonja Larson wrote in to clarify a “middle” ground with regard to John Rossmond, and other readers’ commentary. (Sept.

9 letter, “ A middle ground for discipline.” I concur with Larson’s assessment that we need to treat our children with dignity and respect, while also engendering the qualities and life skills so important for life — responsibility, compassion, honesty, etc. She is absolutely right about Rudolf Dreikurs and his book, “Children the Challenge.” It was the book that I read when I was a new parent almost 40 years ago, and the philosophy that I have used and taught for the past 35. Dreikurs was a student of Alfred Adler’s and it is Adler’s teachings that Dreikurs followed.

Readers might be interested to know that the “Positive Discipline” series of books (for different age groups and special needs), written by Dr. Jane Nelsen, also follow Adlers’ and Dreikurs’ theories and philosophy. These books were first published in the 1980s and have been continuously updated and revised, to reflect current changes in our culture.

White-collar crimes going unprosecuted

J

ust a few years after the financial crisis, a new report tells an important story: Federal prosecution of white-collar crime has hit a 20-year low.

The analysis by Syracuse University shows a more than 36 percent decline in such prosecutions since the middle of the Clinton administration, when the decline began. Landing amid calls from DAVID SIROTA Democratic presidential candidates for more Wall Street prosecutions, the report notes that the projected number of prosecutions this year is 12 percent less than last year and 29 percent less than five years ago.

“The decline in federal white-collar crime prosecutions does not necessarily indicate there has been a decline in white-collar crime,” Syracuse researchers note. “Rather, it may reflect shifting enforcement policies by each of the administrations and the various agencies.”

Underscoring that assertion is a recent study by researchers at George Mason University tracking the increased use of special Justice Department agreements that allow corporations — and often their executives — to avoid being prosecuted.

Before 2003, researchers found, the Justice Department offered almost no such deals.

The researchers report that from 2007 to 2011, 44 percent of cases were resolved through the deals — known as deferred prosecution agreements and non-prosecution agreements.

In 2012, President Obama pledged to “hold Wall Street accountable” for financial misdeeds related to the financial crisis. But as financial industry donations flooded into Obama’s re-election campaign, his Justice Department officials promoted policies that critics say embodied a “too big to jail” doctrine for financial crime.

In a 2012 speech, for example, the head of the Justice Department’s criminal division, Lanny Breuer, said “collateral consequences of an indictment,” such as layoffs, losses for corporate shareholders and the health of an industry, factor into the Obama administration’s prosecutorial decisions.

“In reaching every charging decision, we must take into account the effect of an indictment on innocent employees and shareholders,” said Breuer.

Similarly, in 2013, Obama’s attorney general, Eric Holder, told congressional lawmakers that when it comes to banks, “I am concerned that the size of some of these institutions becomes so large that it does become difficult to prosecute them.”

He said there is an “inhibiting impact” on the Obama Justice Department’s willingness to prosecute a bank when bringing a criminal charge “[would] have a negative impact on the national economy.”

Holder’s 2013 comments were foreshadowed by a 1999 memo he wrote as deputy attorney general during the Clinton administration. In it, Holder recommended that prosecutors consider “[c]ollateral consequences, including disproportionate harm to shareholders and employees not proven personally culpable” before attempting to convict corporations for wrongdoing.

In May, the House Financial Services Committee subpoenaed the Justice Department about the policy. A press release from committee chairman Jeb Hensarling, R-Texas, asserted that the Obama administration was “stonewalling” in providing more details about “whether decisions are being made to prosecute or not prosecute financial institutions based upon their size.”

Prior to serving in the Obama Justice Department, both Breuer and Holder worked at white-collar defense firm Covington & Burling. Both of them went back to work for the firm again immediately after leaving their government posts.

For his part, Holder has recently defended the administration’s record of not prosecuting any individual financial executive involved in the financial crisis. He says the fines the administration has assessed against financial institutions were effective.

“People tend to undervalue what we did with the banks,” Holder told the Financial Times. “Given the nature of the penalties that were extracted, given the interactions that we had with people at the banks, with those attorneys who represented the banks, I think the cultures have changed.”

Left unexplained is how those cultures have supposedly changed when many of the same individuals who were involved in the financial crisis have managed to avoid any punishment.

DAILY CROSSWORD

LIVING WITH CHILDREN

A ‘tantrum place’ will keep the peace Q: Our first, a girl, just turned three and has suddenly started throwing tantrums. She can begin a tantrum when she’s alone in her room if something she’s playing with doesn’t do what she wants it to do. It’s as if she is right on the edge of a tantrum all day long.

We’ve started walking on eggshells around her as a result, and we realize we’re giving in a lot just to keep the peace. We don’t understand how such a happy baby and toddler has become such a malcontent.

Nothing has changed in our family situation that might explain it. Can you?

A: You’re doing what all too many of today’s parents tend to do: Instead of trying to solve a behavior problem, you’re trying to figure out what has caused it. It’s what I call “thinking psychologically.” And because none of your theories concerning your daughter’s tantrums can be either proven or disproven, you’re becoming increasingly confused. The inevitable end result of this is a state I refer to as “disciplinary paralysis.” As you confess, you don’t know what to do, you’re walking on eggshells, giving in to keep the peace.

You’re obviously an intelligent person. I shouldn’t need to tell you

JOHN ROSEMOND LIVING WITH CHILDREN that every time you shut down a tantrum by giving in, you make the problem that much worse.

Short-term “solutions” make for long-term nightmares.

Some children begin throwing tantrums when they’re 12 months old; some don’t start until they’re three; but almost all children go through a phase during which they throw lots of tantrums. Why? Because they believe that what they want, they deserve to have.

The “hump” of parenting is that of patiently, lovingly, but very firmly and steadfastly teaching a child that reality is not going to cooperate with that narcissistic fantasy.

Parents who fail to get over that hump are in for a long haul down a hard road. And a child whose parents fail to get over that hump is in for a very rude awakening if

not a very unhappy life.

The very simple solution to your daughter’s fits is known as the “tantrum place.” First field-tested on my daughter Amy when she began throwing fits of pique at age three, it has since provided much-appreciated relief to many a parent.

Tell your daughter that her temper tantrums are very special things and need a very special place. With Amy, we used a half-bathroom, but any relatively isolated place will do, even a rug.

Say, “The new rule is that when you begin having a tantrum, you have to go to your new tantrum place. If you need help getting there, we will help you. You can scream as long and as loud as you want, but you can’t come out until you stop.”

At first, she is probably going to come out of her tantrum place before her fit has completely run its course. In that event, just calmly put her back, reminding her of the new rule.

The important thing is that you act resolutely so as to send the clear message that her outbursts are not going to determine how the world works. If you are purposeful, you should have a much calmer household in no time Tribune Content Agency

He visits her family, but she won’t visit his

THE NEW YORK TIMES CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Abby: My girlfriend, “Ashley,” and I have been dating for three years.

Every year I ask her to go on a trip with me to St. Louis where my parents live. It’s a weekend trip my parents sponsor for our entire family, and it involves a Cardinals baseball game.

Every year she refuses to go.

When she invites me on her family fishing trip to New Mexico, I go. When I ask why she won’t do the same for my family trips, she makes excuses like she doesn’t want to get up early. Most people in my family are early risers. Ashley is not. I tell her she can sleep as long as she likes; no one will care.

I believe there is something else that Ashley isn’t telling me. I have expressed my unhappiness about this, but it does no good. I am to the point of just ending this relationship. I don’t understand her reluctance. I really want her to come with me and spend more time with my family. What can I do?

— Mystified In The South Dear Mystified: Has Ashley met your family? If the answer is no, she may be afraid she won’t fit in or that they won’t like her for some reason. Unless you can get her to open up and tell you exactly why she won’t go, you will never be able to convince her.

Because this has become such a sore point, you need to tell your girlfriend that her inflexibility has become a deal-breaker. But if you do, you may have to be prepared to follow through.

Dear Abby: I have been married for eight years, and my husband is a wonderful spouse when it comes to almost everything. My complaint may seem shallow, but please hear me out.

DEAR ABBY A couple of years back, he started buying me potted plants rather than cut flowers because “you get more for your money.”

He buys me plants three or four times a year, and after receiving the third one I asked him to please go back to cut flowers. I neither like house plants nor do I want something I must find a place for in our yard. Despite this, he continues to buy me potted plants every time. Each time he says he “forgot” I don’t want them.

I don’t want to seem ungrateful, but I am really frustrated. Today I received my 10th one. I suppose I seem like a jerk, but I really don’t understand why he keeps buying me the one thing I asked him not to buy. Your thoughts? — Kathy In Washington Dear Kathy: You appear to have married a man who is not only practical, but also unimaginative when it comes to gift-buying.

That he would continue to buy you something you have repeatedly told him you would prefer not to have seems the opposite of considerate to me. (On the other hand, many women would be glad that their spouse remembered any special occasion.)

Suggestion: The next time it happens, put HIM in charge of watering, replanting and caring for the plant, and things may change.

1930s child star ‘Dickie’ Moore dies NEW YORK — Dick “Dickie” Moore, a saucereyed child star of the 1930s who appeared in “Our Gang” comedies, gave Shirley Temple her first screen kiss and was featured in many major Hollywood productions, died in Connecticut on Sept 7. He was 89.

While not as famous as Temple or Mickey Rooney, Moore was a veteran of dozens of films, many of them top-drawer productions directed by such greats as Cecil B. DeMille (“The Squaw Man”), Ernst Lubitsch (“Heaven Can Wait”) and Josef von Sternberg (“Blonde Venus”).

He was a member of producer Hal Roach’s “Our Gang” (“Little Rascals”) troupe in 1932-33, playing alongside Spanky McFarland, Stymie Beard and other Gang stars in such shorts as “Free Wheeling,” “Hook and Ladder” and “Mush and Milk.”

But unlike Spanky and the Gang, Moore wasn’t limited to Roach’s

comedies.

The handsome actor was Marlene Dietrich’s little boy in her 1932 film “Blonde Venus.” He recalled her as “warm and friendly” but saying it made him uncomfortable when she gave him a bath. In 1942, toward the end of his (and her) child star career, he gave Temple her first screen kiss in “Miss Annie Rooney.” As a young man, he had a featured role in the 1947 film noir classic “Out of the Past,” which starred Kirk Douglas and Robert Mitchum.

For his 1984 book, he

mixed personal reminiscences — many of them painful — with interviews with dozens of his former colleagues and rivals.

“We lied about my age,” he wrote. “At eight, we said that I was seven; at nine, we said I was eight. ... When I turned 11, we finally told the truth.

“Many children lied about their ages, and the studios lied for them.

It fostered the idea that we were precocious. ...

Studios and parents with investments to protect wanted us to stay the

productive kids we were.”

Moore was born on Sept.

12, 1925, in Los Angeles and had his film debut a year and a half later in John Barrymore’s “The Beloved Rogue.” As his film career waned, he appeared in television shows such as “Captain Video and His Video Rangers.”

As an adult, he was a correspondent for Stars and Stripes during World War II and later became a public relations executive, establishing Dick Moore & Associates Inc. in New York.

He met actress-singer Jane Powell while researching his book and married her in 1988. He is also survived by a sister, the Hollywood publicist Pat Kingsley; son, Kevin Moore, and by several grandchildren.

Moore’s death comes only a few days after the passing of another former “Our Gang” member, Jean Darling.

MUSIC

Emilio Estefan producing starry song ‘We’re All Mexican’ Veteran music producer Emilio Estefan says he wrote a song called “We’re All Mexican” to celebrate the achievements of Hispanic people in the United States.

Speaking in Spanish on his Facebook page Thursday, Estefan said the song is a way to “show

the world the pride we have, not just for the Hispanic community, but all Mexicans for all they have done for this country.”

He said the song carries a message of unity: “It’s about love and the love we feel for this country.”

Estefan told Billboard. com that the new track

will feature his wife, Gloria Estefan, and other Hispanic entertainers, including Carlos Santana and Wyclef Jean.

“We’re All Mexican” will be released in conjunction with Hispanic Heritage Month, which begins Sept. 15.

Girl, 7, battles brain tumor as treatment resumes Searching for options

By Marissa Harshman The Columbian

VANCOUVER, Wash. — Macey Bodily is a sweet, easygoing 7-year-old who loves to swim in the family pool and get manicures.

She likes to play with her three sisters — Payton, 12; Kendall, 9; and Sydney, 4 — and to visit her nana and papa. She met Cinderella and had lunch with the Disney princess in her castle.

She doesn’t cry when she gets poked with needles. She doesn’t complain about having lost the vision in her right eye. And she doesn’t fuss about needing yet another MRI. She was brave when the surgeons at Doernbecher Children’s Hospital performed a craniotomy 18 months ago when she was just 5 years old.

And even now, facing a recurrence of the brain tumor that led to the brain surgery, Macey remains a bubbly, happy secondgrader. Courtney and Jason Bodily are willing to do whatever it takes to keep their daughter that way, even if it means leaving their Yacolt home and flying across the country for a clinical trial at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

“We’re going to do whatever we can to keep her with us as long as possible,” Jason said.

Life changed for the Bodily family in February 2014.

The previous fall, Courtney’s mom noticed Macey squinting while doing her schoolwork.

Courtney shrugged off her mom’s concerns.

“I wear glasses,” she said. “It wasn’t a stretch that one of my girls would.”

Still, Courtney made an appointment with the doctor to have Macey’s eyes checked.

She failed the eye test and was referred to an ophthalmologist and, later, a specialist at the Casey Eye Institute in Portland.

The specialist discovered that blood flow was restricted to Macey’s optic nerves and ordered an MRI. Three weeks later, Macey underwent a sedation MRI. The 45-minute procedure took two hours.

NATALIE BEHRING / THE COLUMBIAN

Macey Bodily, 7, gets measured by her father, Jason, at their home in Yacolt on Aug. 31. Macey was recently diagnosed with a rare brain cancer that affects her pituitary glad, so she must now take daily injections of growth hormones.

Thirty minutes after the family got home, they received a call from Macey’s doctor. Blood wasn’t reaching Macey’s optic nerve because a mass the size of two golf balls was growing below the 5-year-old’s brain.

“Our world kind of stopped at that moment,” Courtney said.

Two tumors measuring 4 centimeters were growing on Macey’s pituitary gland, behind her optic nerves. Macey was diagnosed with craniopharyngioma, benign brain tumors that are usually part solid and part fluid-filled.

Even though they’re benign, the tumors need treatment because they can grow and press on nearby parts of the brain or other areas, including the pituitary gland and optic nerves, according to the National Cancer Institute.

The tumors are rare. In the U.S., about 100 kids are diagnosed with craniopharyngioma each year. Worldwide, only two or three children per million are diagnosed, according to St. Jude.

Macey checked into Doernbecher Children’s Hospital in Portland the night she received the diagnosis. The next day, she faced countless labs and tests. And the following morning, Feb. 20, 2014,

Macey underwent brain surgery.

“It was probably the hardest thing in my life, letting her go through those doors,” Courtney said. “You don’t know at that point if you’re getting your kid back.”

Nine hours later, the family learned Macey was out of surgery and recovering. Surgeons were able to remove the entire tumor.

Macey spent two weeks in the hospital after contracting an infection and experiencing other complications.

“They sent us home with this kid we had to figure out how to care for,” Courtney said.

Surgeons weren’t able to save Macey’s pituitary gland. Without the hormones it produces, Macey was left with no adrenal function — a life-threatening issue — and no thyroid function. Her body is also unable to manage salt and fluid properly, and her growth would stop — and puberty wouldn’t happen — without hormone therapy.

The tumors had already stunted Macey’s growth. She hadn’t grown since she was about 3 or 4 years old. Her younger sister had nearly caught her in height, while her older sister was 10 inches taller.

Macey takes a variety of medications to manage those side effects of the tumor. She also lost all vision in her right eye and wears glasses to try to prevent weakening vision in the left eye.

“We have to use chemicals to put her through puberty,” Jason said. “The most damaging part of this tumor is all of the after-effects.”

Macey’s MRIs came back clean for a year, paving the way for her to begin growth hormones in April. She’s grown nearly 3 inches since, making her the size of a kindergartner.

Last month, though, Courtney and Jason received devastating news after another MRI scan.

Macey had two growths the size of garbanzo beans recurring where the mass was removed 18 months ago. It’s unclear whether the growth is a tumor or a cyst, but it doesn’t matter. It has to be removed eventually. Because Macey is too young for radiation, that meant another brain surgery.

“She blind-sided me, quite frankly,” Courtney said. “I didn’t see this coming.”

Doctors wanted to wait another six months, then move forward with surgery. But Courtney and Jason didn’t want to put their 7-year-old through another brain surgery.

So Courtney turned to a Facebook group of craniopharyngioma survivors. A couple of moms in the group told Courtney to check out St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, where a clinical trial was showing success at stopping craniopharyngioma regrowth.

Courtney took a chance and emailed Dr. Thomas Merchant, who is leading the study. He responded in 15 minutes.

With surgery as the only option, Merchant told Courtney, the tumors will continue to grow back every 18 months. “All it takes is one cell left behind,” she said. “It’s so aggressive.”

The St. Jude trial began in 2011 and uses proton therapy to deliver targeted radiation directly to the site of the growth.

Courtney and Jason decided the

study was worth a try — it was an alternative to the surgery they desperately wanted to avoid.

“There’s got to be a better way,” Jason said. “That’s what St. Jude’s is trying to do, find a better way.”

On Aug. 18, Macey was formally accepted into the trial.

Challenging regimen Courtney and Macey will soon leave for St. Jude’s in Memphis, Tennessee. There, Macey will undergo a head-to-toe health evaluation over two to three weeks. Around Oct. 5, the pair will head to the University of Florida Health Proton Therapy Institute in Jacksonville, Florida. There, Macey will be fitted for a mask that she will wear while undergoing radiation. The mask will bolt to a table, where Macey will lie for 30 to 60 minutes a day, Monday through Friday, for six weeks. She begins radiation Oct. 19.

Before Macey experiences too much fatigue from the radiation, Courtney hopes to enjoy some fun excursions to Disney World and Universal Studios, among other attractions. They also plan to volunteer at Give Kids the World, a nonprofit resort for kids with life-threatening illnesses.

Courtney and Macey hope to be home by mid-December.

Jason and Sydney will visit Jacksonville for a couple of weekends — a family friend offered to pay for the flights.

A group from the family’s church has set up a schedule of volunteers who will watch Sydney and be at the house when the older girls get home from school. A meal calendar is filling up, making dinners easier for Jason after he gets home from work.

Courtney’s sister also started a YouCaring account to help make up for Courtney’s loss of income and to help cover other expenses; it’s raised nearly $8,000.

The support, Courtney and Jason said, has made getting through the latest setback more manageable.

“It’s much, much larger than us this time,” Courtney said. “It’s amazing to see people want to help. It’s incredible.”

1VCMJD /PUJDFT EXHIBIT B WASHINGTON STATE HOUSING FINANCE COMMISSION FORM OF PUBLIC NOTICE T h e Wa s h i n g t o n S t a t e H o u s i n g F i n a n c e C o m m i s s i o n (Commission) proposes to implement a Mortgage Credit Certificate Program (Program) to provide assistance to home buyers purchasing new or existing residences in the state of Washington.

A Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) reduces the amount of income tax a qualified homeowner pays by providing a tax credit which is in effect for the life of a mortgage loan, as long as the homeowner occupies the home as a principal residence. After all other credits and deductions are taken into account, the value of the MCC is applied directly to a homeowner’s remaining tax liability.

No sooner than 90 days following publication of this Notice, the Commission intends to make MCC’s available to homebuyers when purchasing existing, new and manufactured housing according to the guidelines summarized below. The total credit authority available under the Program is $60,000,000 which is expected to provide assistance with respect to $300,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of mortgage loans.

The annual amount of the MCC tax credit will be equal to 20% of the yearly interest paid or accrued on the homeowner’s mortgage loan. The amount of the credit may not exceed the homeowner’s total tax liability for a specified year, but excess credit may be carried forward for up to three subsequent tax years. Use of an MCC will reduce the deduction for home mortgage interest on the homeowner’s tax return. An MCC expires on the date the mortgage loan relating thereto is paid in full or is refinanced, and an MCC is revoked on the date the residence to which it relates ceases to be the taxpayer’s primary residence. The Commission reserves the right to adjust the MCC credit rate or make allocations to specific sectors of the housing industry or to conform to market demand or future tax legislation.

To be eligible for an MCC, applicants must: (1) Purchase a new or existing single-family home in the state of Washington; (2) Obtain a new mortgage or home loan (refinancing of an existing mortgage or land contract is not permissible, except for certain construction loans); (3) Continuously occupy the home as a primary residence within 60 days of its purchase; (4) Purchase a home which has a total cost that does not exceed the maximum purchase price limits as established by the Commission (which currently range from $235,000 to $475,000, depending on location); (5) Have a household income, including all household members eighteen years or older, that does not exceed the maximum household incomes as established by the Commission (which currently range from $65,000 to $90,000 for one- or twoperson families, and from $75,000 to $97,000 for three-or-moreperson families, depending on location); and (6) Not have had an ownership interest in a principal residence within the preceding three years, except for qualified homebuyers purchasing homes in federally designated targeted areas and certain veterans. The applicant must sign all documents and affidavits which are needed to demonstrate eligibility for an MCC, and the regulations, rulings and interpretations issued by the Internal Revenue Service shall control in the event of a conflict with other requirements. The Commission reserves the right to adjust the purchase price and income limits for the Program to reflect housing costs and market conditions within federal guidelines.

MCC’s shall be issued in conjunction with fixed or adjustable rate conventional conforming loans, (i.e., Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac saleable), loans insured or guaranteed by FHA, VA and Rural Development mortgages and other loans. Until the total MCC credit amount for the Program is exhausted, a qualifying homebuyer may apply for an MCC through a participating lender at the time of loan application. Applicants must meet the credit and underwriting criteria established by the participating lenders that provides the loan. The Commission will neither make nor purchase any loans in connection with this Program. MCC applications will be accepted on a first-come, first served basis; however, for the first year of the Program, 20% will be reserved for persons purchasing singlefamily homes in Targeted Areas. There is no allocation of MCC’s by lender.

Banks, savings and loan associations, mortgage companies and other financing institutions and individuals are invited to participate as lenders. The Commission will make a list of participating lenders available to the public upon request. An applicant may also obtain a loan from a lender not on this list if the lender agrees to participate in the Program. Any lender who wishes to participate will be required to sign a Participation Agreement, which outlines the lender’s loan review and reporting responsibilities, and pay to the Commission a $500 annual fee.

Each applicant for an MCC will be required to pay a nonrefundable $650 fee at the time of application. The Commission reserves the right to adjust or waive the fee from time to time.

MCC’s cannot be used with Commission-financed mortgage loans or with any mortgage loans subsidized by mortgage revenue bonds. Current federal tax law may require a payment to the federal government of a “recapture� tax if the homeowner sells or otherwise transfers his or her home to someone else within nine years after the MCC is issued.

The Commission reserves the right to adjust, modify or amend the Program guidelines at its sole discretion and without further notice.

If you have any questions regarding the Mortgage Credit Certificate Program or with further information about the requirements for par ticipating lenders, please contact Lisa DeBrock at the Washington State Housing Finance Commission, 1000 Second Avenue, Suite 2700, Seattle, WA 98104-1046, 1(800) 767-HOME outside Seattle or (206) 464-7139.

Happy Birthday: Keep an open mind and find the drive required to get things done.

Don’t let anyone restrict your chances to advance by putting too many demands on your time. Empty promises will not help you reach your destination. Take care of the responsibilities that belong to you and decide what you want to accomplish. Your numbers are 3, 8, 13, 23, 27, 38, 45.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Refuse to let negativity take over when positive action is what will help you advance. Personal partnerships are favored, along with changes to the way or where you live. Don’t wait for things to come to you. Initiate progress. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Assess and organize your strategy. A short trip or talks with someone who can help you broaden your options will make you feel more confident about the choices you make. Don’t neglect your physical well-being. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): An idea you have will bring you closer to a better future.

Your charm, compassion and ability to follow through will be impressive, and the feedback you receive will give you the courage to make the changes that will improve your daily life. ★★★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Try something different or look for new ways to improve old means and methods of doing things at home and at work. Don’t let emotional matters spin out of control. Listen carefully and refrain from offering a negative response. ★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t sit back when change is what you need in your life. Use your charisma and energetic, can-do attitude to make your dreams come true. Travel and communication are highlighted and will lead to opportunities you won’t want to miss. ★★★★

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Take your time and go over details carefully. Gather information and be moderate rather than go into debt or take on the impossible. Hearsay is not a good foundation to base your decisions on. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Emotions will rise to the surface, making this an ideal time to let your feelings be known and to bring about changes that will improve your relationships with the people you love or have to deal with daily. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Keep your personal opinions out of the workplace. Your best option is to be as productive as possible. The help you offer to a colleague or superior will ensure your advancement. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Someone will make you look bad or offer you inaccurate information to lead you astray. Use your ingenuity and take care of business matters on your own. Positive changes at home or to the way you live should be put into play. ★★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Take control, and don’t let what others say or do detract you from following your gut feeling. There is money to be made if you negotiate on your own behalf. Sudden and unusual changes can be expected while traveling or dealing with competitive people. ★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’ll have some great ideas that can help you with an investment or health issue of concern. Good fortune is within reach if you share your thoughts and plans with someone you love. Romance is in the stars. ★★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Someone will lure you off course. Before you follow an unrealistic path, question the motives of the person you are dealing with. Take stock of your goals and invest in yourself, not in what someone else is pursuing. Don’t take a risk. ★★★ Universal Uclick

Mariners James Paxton struggles in Seattle’s 3-2 loss to Rockies, C6

MONDAY, 09.14.2015

NFL WEEK 1

St. Louis Rams 34, Seattle Seahawks 31 (OT)

Rams players celebrate their victory after stopping Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch on fourth-and-one on the final play in overtime of Sunday’s game.

Hawks lose ‘weird’ opener

Rams seal victory in overtime by stopping Seahawks’ Lynch on fourth-and-one

By Gregg Bell The News Tribune

✔ ✔

ST. LOUIS — Burned here multiple times before, the Seattle Seahawks tried to beat the St. Louis Rams at their own, specialteams game.

They lost.

And after spending all offseason believing — knowing — Marshawn Lynch could gain 1 yard with the game on the line — he got the chance this time but could not. Not behind Seattle’s remade, swarmed offensive line.

Those were only two of many galling, inexplicable moments during Seattle’s 34-31 loss in

✔ ✔

✔

overtime to St. Louis in the 2015 opener on Sunday at the suddenly noisy Edward Jones Dome.

“It’s always weird with the Rams,” cornerback Richard Sherman said following Seattle’s third loss in four games here.

The Seahawks, overrun by St. Louis’ defense for most of three quarters, rallied with 18 straight points in the fourth. They took a 31-24 lead on new cornerback Cary Williams’ sack, strip and fumble recovery for a touchdown.

It was so weird that Sherman, the All-Pro cornerback St. Louis avoided most of the day, got uncharacteristically beaten on an outside route by Stedman

Bailey. A perfect throw by new Rams quarterback Nick Foles set up St. Louis’ go-ahead field goal in overtime.

That was after Seattle head coach Pete Carroll’s fateful decision to try a lofted, “pooch” kick to begin overtime. It backfired when Steven Hauschka woefully mis-hit the ball barely 10 yards instead of 20-plus yards over the heads of the Rams’ first line of their kickoff return unit. St. Louis recovered, and all it took for the Rams to get in position for the lead was one first down, the pass over Sherman. That led to Greg Zuerlein’s go-ahead field goal to begin the extra period.

“The kick was off,” Carroll said afterward, immediately dismissing the idea he called what it ended up looking like: an onside kick.

On Seattle’s ensuing drive that had to end in a score per NFL overtime rules, Lynch tried to run left on fourth and 1 from the St. Louis 42. Carroll said the play was to go any number of ways, based on Lynch’s zone reads.

But the league’s leading rusher since 2011 had no zone to read. The Rams swarmed every hole on the play. Lynch got engulfed by half their defense See SEAHAWKS, Page C5

COMMENTARY

Seahawks-Rams goes from ugly to inexplicable Dave Boling The News Tribune

S

T. LOUIS — This was going to be ugly one way or another; it always is at this place.

The Rams come out with those helmets designed for battering.

And the Edward Jones Dome is dark and shadowy, and sparsely inhabited — perfect spot for a mugging.

And for added consideration, toss in a Seattle Seahawks offensive line built on converted defenders and positional refugees having to tangle with one of the best defensive fronts in the NFL. But the 34-31 overtime loss to the Rams in the 2015

season-opening game passed the ugly mark early in the first half, and progressed to weird, confusing, uncharacteristic, and, in the end, inexplicable.

Somebody suggested it was ironic that the Hawks lost when running back Marshawn Lynch was stopped cold when they needed him to gain a yard.

No, that’s not ironic. Cruel, yes.

Ironic, probably not. The way things went on Sunday, it might have been expected.

This was not without promise — quite a bit, in fact. The three touchdowns the Seahawks scored all were by players new to the team: Tyler Lockett’s 57-yard punt return, Jimmy Graham’s fourth-quarter pass reception, and Cary Williams’

INSIDE: Storm, C2

extraordinarily athletic strip-sack, fumble-recovery TD return to give the Hawks a 31-24 lead with less than 5 minutes remaining.

And it wasn’t that anybody should be surprised by a Seahawks loss here to the Rams; they’d accomplished that twice in the previous three visits.

The six sacks of quarterback Russell Wilson were almost to be expected as an annual rite: go to St. Louis and see Russell Wilson run for his life. But he’s getting to the point in his career where he has to get rid of the ball sometimes to avoid those when field goals are still in the equation.

Hamby converted a threepoint play and Danielle Adams hit a 3-pointer to give San Antonio a 57-56 lead with 1:51 left to play in the game.

CHICAGO — Aaron Rodgers saw James Jones go up for a onehanded touchdown catch and experienced a few flashbacks.

Like they had stepped back in time.

Rodgers threw for three touchdowns, two to Jones, and the Green Bay Packers beat Chicago 31-23 to spoil John Fox’s debut as Bears coach Sunday afternoon.

The Packers got all they could handle from the rebuilding Bears but took control down the stretch to beat them for the 10th time in 11 games, including the postseason.

Rodgers improved to 13-3 lifetime against Chicago. The 2014 MVP completed 18 of 23 passes for 189 yards.

Jones, who spent seven seasons in Green Bay before signing with Oakland last year, caught four passes for 51 yards. That included a one-handed grab on a 13-yard score late in the first quarter that left Rodgers flashing back to 2012, when Jones led the league with 14 TD catches.

He added a 1-yarder in the third — a good start after being

Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (12) threw two touchdown passes to wide receiver James Jones (89) in Sunday’s win over the Bears.

released by the Raiders in the spring and by the New York Giants on the final roster cut.

With Jordy Nelson (knee) out for the season, the Packers were quick to bring back Jones.

“No disrespect to James, but I don’t think it was that out of character,” Rodgers said. “Like many other guys that have gone elsewhere and come back, there

is a comfort in this offense for guys who have flourished in it at times. And I think that Jones is one of those guys that really feels comfortable on offense.”

Randall Cobb, hampered late in the preseason by a sprained right shoulder, had 38 yards receiving. He caught a 5-yard touchdown that made it 24-16 early in the fourth quarter, and

Clay Matthews sealed the win by intercepting Jay Cutler at the Green Bay 20 and returning it 48 yards.

Eddie Lacy ran for 85 yards and a late touchdown. Julius Peppers chipped in with 11⁄2 sacks for the four-time defending NFC North champions.

“This is our starting point. This is who we are as a team today,” coach Mike McCarthy said. “A lot of good things to go off of, a lot of things we can learn from.”

The Bears, essentially starting over under Fox and new general manager Ryan Pace after a fivewin season, kept this one close though Cutler had a rough afternoon. He was 18 of 36 for 225 yards, with that late interception

by Matthews. He also threw a 24-yard touchdown to Martellus Bennett with 34 seconds left, but Green Bay recovered the onside kick.

“Green Bay is a pretty good football team,” Fox said. “We were going to have to be near flawless to beat them and we didn’t quite reach that. I think there was a lot of positive things that we’ll be able to build on as a football team moving forward as we get ready for Arizona.”

NFL | Roundup

Mariota throws 4 TD passes as Titans beat Bucs Associated Press TAMPA, Fla. — Marcus Mariota looked right at home standing on the sideline in the fourth quarter, watching his teammates close out a lopsided victory.

The rookie quarterback made it look as easy as he did in college Sunday, throwing four touchdown passes and outplaying No. 1 overall draft pick Jameis Winston in their NFL debuts to lead the Tennessee Titans to a 42-14 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Mariota threw for 209 yards without an interception to join Hall of Famer Fran Tarkenton as the only players to throw for four or more TD passes in their first NFL game.

Tarkenton did it for Minnesota against the Chicago Bears on Sept. 17, 1961. Mariota became the first to do it in the opening half.

Winston, the No. 1 overall pick and 2013 Heisman winner, did something rare, too, becoming the first quarterback since Brett Favre in 1991 to have his first NFL pass intercepted and returned for a touchdown.

Bills 27, Colts 14 ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Tyrod Taylor engineered three touchdown drives and Rex Ryan’s attacking Buffalo defense put the clamps on Andrew Luck.

In his first career start, Taylor went 14 of 19 for 195 yards, including a 51-yard opening touchdown pass to Percy Harvin. Boobie Dixon and rookie Karlos Williams scored touchdowns rushing to deliver Ryan a win in his debut as Bills head coach.

The Bills built a 24-0 lead by scoring on four consecutive possessions into the third quarter. And Buffalo’s defense did the rest.

The retooled Luck-led Colts attack was limited to 148 yards offense and nine first downs on its first five drives before scoring two touchdowns in the final 16 minutes.

Luck finished 26 of 49 for 243 yards and two touchdowns, and was intercepted twice.

Chiefs 27, Texans 20 HOUSTON — Alex Smith threw for 243 yards and three touchdowns in the first half againts the mistakeprone Texans.

Travis Kelce caught two touchdown passes in the first quarter, the first coming after Kansas City intercepted Brian Hoyer on his first throw as a Texan.

Dolphins 17, Redskins 10 LANDOVER, Md. — Jarvis Landry returned a punt 69 yards for a touchdown with 10:22 left to give Miami its first lead.

Landry’s score broke open a tight game in which the Redskins amassed more yards and dominated the time of possession, but could not pull away.

Kirk Cousins went 21 for 31 for 196 yards and two interceptions for Washington. Robert Griffin III was inactive after only recently recovering from a concussion.

Jets 31, Browns 10 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Ryan Fitzpatrick threw two touchdown passes and Chris Ivory ran for two scores in coach Todd Bowles’ debut.

The Jets (1-0) had five takeaways against the Browns, including an interception of Johnny Manziel, who came in late in the first quarter for the injured Josh McCown.

Manziel was 13 of 24 for 182, including a 54-yard touchdown to Travis Benjamin.

Panthers 20, Jaguars 9 JACKSONVILLE, Fla. —Josh Norman returned an interception for a touchdown, and the Panthers did just enough offensively.

Cam Newton, playing in his first game since signing a five-year, $104 million contract that included $60 million guaranteed, completed 18 of 31 passes for 175 yards and a touchdown. He also ran for 35 yards and threw an interception.

Broncos 19, Ravens 13 DENVER — Former Ravens safety Darian Stewart, who followed Gary Kubiak from Baltimore to Denver over the winter, snatched the ball from tight end Crockett Gillmore in the end zone with 28 seconds left to seal a win for Peyton Manning and the Broncos.

Joe Flacco drove the Ravens to the Denver 16 in the final minute. One play before Stewart’s interception, cornerback Brady Roby got a hand in Steve Smith Sr.’s face and a wouldbe touchdown catch bounded away from the veteran receiver.

Cornerback Jimmy Smith’s 24yard pick-6 was Baltimore’s only touchdown and Broncos cornerback Aqib Talib responded with a 51-yard

interception return for a TD that put Denver ahead for good 16-13.

The Ravens lost linebacker Terrell Suggs for the season to a torn Achilles.

Cardinals 31, Saints 19 GLENDALE, Ariz. — Carson Palmer threw three touchdown passes in his first game back from a torn ACL and Arizona opened its season with a victory over New Orleans.

Drew Brees threw for 355 yards, but the Saints had to settle for Zach Hocker’s field goals four times.

Arizona’s Andre Ellington rushed for 69 yards before being carted off with a right knee injury.

Chargers 33, Lions 28 SAN DIEGO — Philip Rivers rallied San Diego to 30 straight points, including throwing a go-ahead, 13yard touchdown pass to tight end Ladarius Green early in the fourth quarter, and the Chargers stunned Detroit in what could be their final home opener at Qualcomm Stadium.

Rivers overcame two interceptions, including a 31-yard return for a touchdown by Glover Quin, to complete 35 of 42 passes for 404 yards and two scores.

Bengals 33, Raiders 13 OAKLAND, Calif. — Andy Dalton threw for 269 yards and two touchdowns and Jeremy Hill ran for two scores to help Cincinnati spoil coach Jack Del Rio’s debut in Oakland.

The game couldn’t have gone worse for the Raiders (0-1), who lost starting quarterback Derek Carr to a hand injury in the second quarter and were held scoreless until midway through the fourth quarter in Del Rio’s first game as coach.

ARLINGTON, Texas — Tony Romo to Jason Witten saved the Dallas Cowboys again, and it could be at least a month before AllPro receiver Dez Bryant can help his quarterback again.

Romo threw an 11-yard touchdown pass to his trusty tight end with 7 seconds left, and the Cowboys overcame three turnovers that led to easy New York points to beat the Giants 27-26 on Sunday night.

The Cowboys drove 72 yards in 1:27 after stopping New York at the 1 and

forcing Josh Brown's fourth field goal when a touchdown would have sealed the Giants' first victory in an opener against Dallas.

Bryant wasn't on the field for the decisive drive after breaking his right foot, an injury owner Jerry Jones said would sideline the receiver four to six weeks.

The defending NFC East champion Cowboys are 8-0 against their division rival in openers, and have beaten them five straight times.

Dominique RodgersCromartie returned a fumble 57 yards for a touchdown, and the Giants had

to go just a yard for their other TD after Trumaine McBride's interception.

"We didn't play great in a lot of areas and obviously (protecting) the ball was the biggest one," said Romo, who threw for 356 yards and three touchdowns with two interceptions. "You gotta believe."

The Giants tried to throw on third down from the Dallas 1 with a 23-20 lead, but the Cowboys didn't take the play-action fake. Eli Manning had to throw the ball away, stopping the clock and giving Romo plenty of time to win the game.

On the winning play, Romo had to pick up the ball after a low snap and found Witten shielding defenders at the goal line. The 13-year veteran made the catch, stayed on his feet and left no doubt about getting the ball in the end zone for yet another huge connection between one of the most prolific quarterback-tight end combos in NFL history.

Romo led two touchdown drives in the fourth quarter after McBride's interception set up Rashad Jennings' 1-yard scoring that put the Giants up 23-13 with 8 minutes to go.

Malone, three-time NBA MVP and Hall of Famer, dies at 60 Associated Press Moses Malone, a threetime NBA MVP and one of basketball’s most ferocious rebounders, died Sunday.

He was 60.

Det. Jeffrey Scott of the police department in Norfolk, Virginia, confirmed that Malone died in a Norfolk hotel room. He said there was no indication of foul play. Malone’s body

was discovered when he failed to report to a celebrity golf tournament in which he was scheduled to play.

Malone was part of the 76ers’ 1983 NBA championship team, and the club said he will “forever be remembered as a genuine icon and pillar of the most storied era in the history of Philadelphia 76ers basketball.”

A 6-foot-10 center who made the leap right from high school to the pros, the “Chairman of the Boards” is the NBA’s career leader in offensive rebounds and led the league in rebounds per game for five straight seasons from 1980-85.

Malone was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2001 and attended the induction ceremonies for

the year’s class this weekend in Springfield, Massachusetts, before returning to his native Virginia.

His staggering statistics across 21 seasons and 1,455 professional games included 20.3 points and 12.3 rebounds per game in his combined ABA and NBA careers. He holds NBA records for offensive rebounds in a career (6,731), season (587) and game (21).

Djokovic beats Federer for Open title

By Howard Fendrich Associated Press

NEW YORK — After winning a point in the U.S. Open final, and bent on proving a point, Novak Djokovic leaped and roared and threw an uppercut, then glared at some of the thousands of spectators pulling for Roger Federer.

Following another point in that game, Djokovic nodded as he smiled toward the stands. And moments later, Djokovic shook his right arm, bloodied by an early fall, and screamed, “Yes! Yes!” to celebrate a missed forehand by Federer.

Djokovic appeared to be all alone out there in Arthur Ashe

Stadium, trying to solve Federer while also dealing with a crowd loudly supporting the 17-time major champion proclaimed “arguably the greatest player in the history of the sport” during prematch introductions.

“An incredible season,” said the No. 1-ranked Djokovic, who

From late in the third set to 5-2 in the fourth, Djokovic took control against a wilting Federer by claiming eight of 10 games.

Federer made one last stand, breaking to get within 5-3 and holding for 5-4, but one last forehand return that flew beyond the baseline left Djokovic as the champion, pointing to his heart.

Djokovic reached all four Grand slam finals. He beat Andy Murray at the Australian Open in January, lost to Stan Wawrinka at the French Open in June, then beat

Northwest League Playoffs Championship Series Best-of-3 Hillsboro wins series 2-1

Federer at Wimbledon in July.

The 28-year-old from Serbia also won a trio of majors in 2011, and his career total ranks tied for seventh-most in history behind Federer.

Djokovic evened his headto-head record with Federer at 21-all. They have met in three of the last five Grand Slam finals, and Djokovic is 3-0 in those. It is as spectacular a rivalry as there is in tennis right now, with contrasting styles of play.

“Being back in a final is where you want to be,” said Federer, who owns five U.S. Open titles but last played for the championship in 2009. “Playing a great champion like Novak is a massive challenge.”

is 63-5 in 2015, including 27-1 at majors.

Contorting his body this way and that, sneakers squeaking loudly as he changed directions or scraping like sandpaper as he slid to reach unreachable shots, Djokovic forced the 34-year-old Federer to put the ball into the tiniest of spaces. And it didn’t work. Federer wound up with 54 unforced errors, 17 more than Djokovic. Another key statistic: Djokovic won 10 of the first 12 points that lasted at least 10 strokes, a pattern that repeated itself throughout the evening.

Perhaps the most pivotal of all: Djokovic saved 19 of the 23 break points he faced, while winning six

Offense

Rams 34, Seahawks 31 (OT)

The Seahawks were performing at a D level until late in the third quarter, when a switch to the no-huddle improved the offense drastically. But Seattle continued its preseason trend of being unable to convert in the red zone, with just one offensive touchdown and having to settle for three short field goals. The young offensive line struggled against St. Louis’ stacked defensive line, allowing six sacks.

And once again being unable to gain one yard with the game on the line stings.

Seahawks tight end Jimmy Graham catches a 7-yard touchdown pass as Rams strong safety T.J. McDonald tries to defend during the fourth quarter of Sunday’s game.

TOM GANNAM / ASSOICATED PRESS

Defense

Allowing 34 points doesn’t C+ look good, but that number is a little deceiving as St. Louis scored one touchdown on special teams and also needed OT to reach that total. Seattle came up big in the second half by forcing three turnovers, and the Seahawks deserve credit for holding the Rams to a field goal in OT after giving up good field position. But success by St. Louis’ tight ends highlighted the absence of holdout strong safety Kam Chancellor.

Special teams

The good: Tyler Lockett conCtinued to run wild, returning a punt 57 yards for a touchdown, and

the Seahawks didn’t give up a trick play as they often do against the Rams. The bad: Seattle’s cover team allowed a punt-return TD of its own, and kicker Steven Hauschka needs to execute that apparent onside kick attempt to start overtime -- coach Pete Carroll said the ball was supposed to get over the first bank of defenders and not be in a position to be fair caught.

Coaching

Credit to the Seahawks Bfor making the decision to switch to the no-huddle offense,

as it appeared to turn the game in Seattle’s favor. The decision to start overtime with an an apparent onside kick is debatable, but it didn’t end up hurting the Seahawks that much as the defense kept the game alive. And although it didn’t work this time, as least Seattle handed the ball to its best guy when needing one yard.

Get Jimmy the ball!

Seahawks had trouble getting tight end Graham involved in the offense

By Gregg Bell The News tribune

ST. LOUIS — It’s great and all to now have Jimmy Graham.

But the NFL’s most prolific pass-catching tight end the last four seasons won’t do the Seattle Seahawks much good if Russell Wilson doesn’t have time to wait for him to run his patterns down the field.

That’s what Seattle’s offense learned here Sunday while falling behind 24-13 in an eventual 34-31 loss in overtime to the St. Louis Rams to begin the 2015 season.

Graham, the freakishly gifted, $40 million receiver the Seahawks acquired in March for two-time Pro Bowl center Max Unger and a first-round draft choice, had one catch for 7 yards in the first half. That was the only time Wilson threw his way; the quarterback was otherwise busy trying to escape blitzing Rams — or just ducking. He got sacked three times before halftime.

Seattle didn’t score an offensive touchdown until after a second-half adjustment. Wilson began throwing the ball more quickly against St. Louis’ incessant blitzing. And Graham ran shorter routes on which the quarterback didn’t have to wait as long. The result: Graham’s five catches on seven targets for 44 yards and his first Seahawks touchdown on a 7-yard pass.

That and Marshawn Lynch’s 2-point conversion run got the Seahawks to within 24-21 and started an 18-point rally into

goals and has been so accurate he has been nicknamed “Hausch Money,” somehow misfired on what looked like a failed onside kickoff to start overtime.

It was supposed to be a “pooch” kick deeper down field, but Hauschka’s aim was way off the mark. So, the customarily reliable Hauschka totally skewed the pooch.

But how in the world did this Seattle defense give up 34 points to the Rams? They haven’t surrendered that many in the regular season since a 34-28 loss at Indianapolis in October 2013.

The linebackers looked slow at times, and they’re not. The defense looked porous; it’s not.

There were missed tackles, and this unit is usually on target.

the lead in the fourth quarter.

As offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell had promised, Graham played all over formations: from the wing; tight on the line, often with fellow end Luke Willson; and out wide such as on his touchdown catch.

But his 8.5 yards per reception Sunday was 2 full yards lower than his career-low average over any of his first five NFL seasons with the Saints. His routes got so short in the second half, on third and 2 from the Rams 10 Graham ran a 1-yard pattern outside against yet another blitz. He caught Wilson’s quick pass but St. Louis’ T.J. McDonald tackled him immediately a yard short of the line to gain a first down.

Seattle had to settle for Steven Hauschka’s field goal and a 13-10 lead instead of more, failing to fully capitalize on Jordan Hill’s fumble recovery of a botched shotgun snap by the Rams.

As Seattle lives with the expected growing pains of an offensive line with three starters in spots new to them as of three weeks ago — former college defensive tackle Drew Nowak is replacing Unger as the line’s blocking orchestrator — Graham running shorter routes may have to suffice for a while.

“We got knocked around a little bit on the pass rush and we didn’t get the chances,” head coach Pete Carroll said of Graham going down the field.

“We had him in the game plan throughout. And he did an

The easy theory will be to blame the absence of strong safety holdout Kam Chancellor.

That can be supported by the fact that his replacement, Dion Bailey, stumbled in coverage and was beaten for a touchdown on a long ball in the final minute of regulation. But I’ve seen Chancellor get beaten in coverage on a route like that.

Besides, there were way more problems than that.

Some will say the distractions of Chancellor’s holdout had affected their preparation.

Baloney, these guys thrive on this stuff. Challenges are mother’s milk to them — or maybe magic bubble water.

What do they chant? “We all we got ... we all we need.” Other than correcting the shaky, verbless syntax, they might considering a re-evaluation if, in fact, they got all they need.

So, somehow, the Seahawks won the turnover battle by two, rushed for 124 yards,

excellent job I thought when he got his chance.”

Wilson blamed some of the six sacks he took on himself.

He’s been sacked 18 times in four career games at St. Louis.

“I think a little bit of it is on me, just to see if I can find a way to get the ball out a little quicker and to just continue to work,” Wilson said.

Nowak, right tackle and college tight end Garry Gilliam plus left guard Justin Britt, last year’s rookie right tackle, left tackle Russell Okung and right guard J.R. Sweezy often got overwhelmed by the sheer numbers of Rams rampaging free at them.

“They brought a few guys ... but we have to play better. We have to protect better,” Okung said.

Nowak was a practice-squad guard last season who beat out Unger’s former backup Lemuel Jeanpierre last month. To help him in his first career start, Wilson was making most of the initial protection calls before snaps on Sunday.

Not all of them were the right ones.

“A couple of times we called the protection wrong,” offensive line coach Tom Cable said, in general and not singling out Wilson.

All in all, Cable said, it was “kind of what I expected.”

If the Seahawks want to utilize Graham again next Sunday night at Green Bay and for the foreseeable future, expect more of his routes to be short. And as quick as possible.

completed 32 of 41 passes, scored on special teams, and lost a game.

Strange, yes, but hardly time to panic.

“It’s a long season,” said defensive end Michael Bennett, who had a stellar game, like his bookend Cliff Avril. “There’ll be a lot of chatter about Kam and all that stuff, but we gotta keep our motivation the same and keep grinding the way we do. I understand that as a pro you make mistakes, but to be a great pro is to bounce back.”

It would make a more provocative column to inflame the fears of the fans. But it’s not time for that. We’ve all seen the Seahawks bounce back from bigger things.

In fact, I think they easily could lose again at Green Bay next week, go 0-2, and still win the division.

But as Bennett says, they can’t be great if they don’t know how to bounce back.

Rams go after Bailey with game on the line

By Gregg Bell The News Tribune

ST LOUIS — It took less than one game — the most important part of it, at that — for the Seattle Seahawks to feel the sting of Kam Chancellor’s holdout dragging into their regular season.

Not that head coach Pete Carroll would admit to thinking about that immediately following Sunday’s 34-31 loss in overtime to the St. Louis Rams to begin the 2015 season.

“That’s not where my focus is now,” Seattle coach said. “We had a lot of aspects of this game where we could have played better football. And we are going to try and clean that stuff up.”

Three aspects to clean before next weekend’s challenge at Green Bay: Communication in pass coverage; tackling; and, ultimately, simply being able to stay on one’s feet.

Seattle had mixed-up coverages and missed tackles early.

After a 20-yard catch and run by a left-alone Ram in the first quarter cornerbacks Richard Sherman and Cary Williams were gesturing and

talking to linebacker K.J. Wright.

Sherman tapped the side of his helmet as if to say to Wright “think!”

Carroll spent much of the first half during offensive time outs at the bench talking to Dion Bailey, Chancellor’s fill-in at strong safety.

The Rams saved for when they absolutely had to have a

completion to isolate a receiver on Bailey. The 2014 practicesquad rookie making his first career start Sunday because Chancellor was at home skipping out on a $267,467 game check.

It was third and 5 for St. Louis at the Seattle 37 with 58 seconds remaining in regulation.

The Seahawks led 31-24 after 18 unanswered points earlier in the final quarter. Lance Kendricks split wide left. Bailey, a college linebacker at USC, was assigned as the strong safety to the tight end on the play. He went out one on one with Kendricks.

Rams quarterback Nick Foles didn’t look anywhere else.

Foles took a shotgun snap, two crow hops back and then lofted a ball deep down the left sideline.

Kendricks got an outside release immediately past Bailey. Bailey fell down over his own feet trying to turn and run. Kendricks caught the ball all alone at the 5 and jogged into the end zone as Seahawks cornerback Cary Williams tried in vain to get over to him.

Game tied.

Chancellor’s absence absolutely noticed.

Bailey wasn’t awful. Two plays earlier he had made an openfield tackle that held the Rams to a 5-yard gain and forced them to use a time out. He finished with four tackles.

But he wasn’t Chancellor.

“I got to go 100 percent on my opportunities, and I missed a big one today,” Bailey said. “I’m

going to learn from it and represent my family name better next week.”

He knows the likelihood Chancellor suddenly shows up before then seems miniscule. Sunday was day 46 of his impasse with the team.

Another option Seattle has before Aaron Rodgers and the Packers throw at them: starting DeShawn Shead. Listed as a cornerback and more experienced as a coverage guy, Shead was the first-team fill-in for Chancellor into mid-August, until Seattle chose Bailey for his tackling.

Many Seahawks veterans including All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman, beaten for the pass in overtime that led to St. Louis’ game-winning field goal, talked to Bailey after Kendricks’ score.

“Just everyone letting me know, don’t put the game on myself, a lot of people made mistakes and just to get better from it,” Bailey said.

“It’s a tough situation for me right now. But I will move on and I will get better. And I will be better next week.”

to stunningly end it.

The Rams ran around the field to deliriously celebrate. The Seahawks simply trudged off the field knowing they got stymied again in St. Louis — and knowing they go to NFC contender Green Bay (1-0) next Sunday night.

“Every game is growth when you’ve got young players in the game,” Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett said, a reference to 2014 rookie practice-squad player Dion Bailey making his first career start at strong safety for holdout Kam Chancellor and three guys in new spots on the offensive line.

“As long as we stay together.

Everybody’s going to turn around saying this and that, ‘Kam Chancellor this and this…’ But we were still in the game. Regardless of what the situation was we had more opportunities to win the game. We just didn’t.”

Seven months earlier, the Seahawks didn’t give the ball to Lynch on from 1-yard line in the final minute of the Super Bowl. Russell Wilson’s interception instead and that loss to New England has stung the Pacific Northwest since.

This one had far less on the line. But it was close to as galling.

“It’s a good play. It’s fourthand-1,” said Wilson, who was sacked six times while rallying to complete 32 of 41 passes for 251 yards.

“We’ve got the best running back in the National Football League,” Wilson said of Lynch, who finished with 73 yards on 18 rushes. “We think we should get it.

“Unfortunately, we didn’t.”

Wilson’s harried day peaked with his touchdown throw to Jimmy Graham that got Seattle within 24-21. It started the Seahawks’ frantic rally into the lead with 4:39 remaining.

Then the Seahawks felt the sting of Chancellor staying home and blowing off his $267,647 game check.

yards for the Seahawks’ first puntreturn touchdown in eight years.

New tight end Graham caught the touchdown pass that began an 18-point rally in the fourth quarter.

Williams then continued the new-guy touchdown parade. He blitzed free onto Foles’ blind side, knocked out the ball, recovered the fumble and ran 8 yards for the go-ahead touchdown.

“The trifecta,” Williams, the former Philadelphia Eagle, said, calling it his first such play at any level.

But for the second time in as many real games, the Seahawks’ defense that has been the NFL’s top-rated the last two seasons failed to hold a fourth-quarter lead.

The Rams drove 84 yards in 3:46. Bailey, who last week said

he hoped the Rams would target him because it would make his “coming-out party more exciting,” fell down trying to cover tight end Lance Kendricks down the left side. Kendricks caught the pass easily from Foles for the touchdown that forced overtime.

Bailey spent a few moments alone on the Seahawks’ bench after the tying score, looking into the ground with his forearms on each thigh and hands on his chin. A parade of veterans later came up to try encouragement.

They know Bailey is likely to be in there again next week against the Packers — unless Chancellor’s holdout suddenly has an ending no one foresees.

“I just fell down,” a dejected Bailey said, sit deep into his locker. “It’s something that just

can’t happen.

“I was just too flat-footed. My foot got stuck in the turf and I tried to open up. Fell down. At that point, I’ve got to tackle him.

Tackle him and just fight to live another day.

“I gotta go 100 percent on my opportunities. I missed a big one today. I’ve got to learn from it.”

So Seattle went to the first overtime in its 15 trips inside this dark cavern.

Carroll just about scoffed at the thought he had called an onside kick to start OT. “No, no. We just didn’t execute that. That is not what was supposed to happen,” the coach said.

“No, we were kicking the ball to a certain area of the field, and we didn’t hit it right.”

Yet he and special-teams coach Brian Schneider called

an unusual kick to try to exploit what they thought would be a hole in the Rams’ kickoff-return unit: A skied, shorter boot perhaps 20-25 yards downfield into a dead spot of St. Louis’ alignment.

“The plan was to get the ball,” said defensive back DeShawn Shead, a member of the kickoff team. “I think it was a bloop, I believe, a bloop kick. But our plan was to get the ball back, by any means.”

Hauschka said he’s never struck an attempt to loft a kickoff so poorly.

“No, not like that,” he said. “So that was a mistake on my part.”

One of so many in game one.

“I was disappointed across the board that we weren’t sharper,” Carroll said.

“We had a chance to finish the game. We didn’t finish it.”

Seahawks’ inexperienced offensive line struggles against Rams

By Dave Boling The News Tribune

ST. LOUIS — Russell Okung sounded as if he were hoping somebody would come to his locker cubicle and ask him about the performance of the Seattle Seahawks’ offensive line after the season-opening loss to the Rams.

Not because he wanted to be combative or make excuses, but because he wanted to be emphatically accountable.

“I take a lot of the responsibility,” the veteran left tackle said. “I didn’t play as well in the first half, and I’ve got to be better for the

rest of the group.”

The St. Louis Rams’ defense is loaded with high-draft picks and considered among the best in the league. And, as is their habit, they got after Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, sacking him six times Sunday.

Wilson now has been sacked 31 times in seven career games against St. Louis.

“Yes, they’re definitely elite, one of the top groups in the NFL,” Okung said. “We give them the respect, but I have to protect the quarterback better. That’s unacceptable. Those guys are really good up front, and they got the

best of us today.”

Okung is the longest-tenured lineman starting for the Seahawks. He and right guard J.R. Sweezy are the only players returning to their spots on the line, as left guard Justin Britt, center Drew Nowak and right tackle Garry Gilliam were starting for the first time at those positions.

“I’m so proud of the younger guys; they’re fighting their butts off, doing the best they can,” Okung said. “That’s all we can ask of them; they’re really good players and they’re going to have really long careers. I have to make it easier on them.”

Offensive line coach Tom Cable said the performance was “kind of what I expected, quite honestly.” However, he said he found the second-half performance encouraging.

The Hawks scored 21 points in the second half, resulting from a hastened offensive tempo and quicker passes by Wilson.

“We were kind of able to speed up the tempo a little bit and we got them on their heels, but we’ve got to finish the game,” Okung said.

Carroll saw improvement from the unit, too, especially when viewed in the context of the quality

of the St. Louis defensive front.

“This is as athletic a group as we are going to face,” Carroll said.

“They had an edge on us early. I think once our guys settled down, they played a lot better. We felt more confident as we were working during the second half.”

Finishing the game up an upswing will be helpful heading into a week of preparation for Game 2 at Green Bay next Sunday night.

“This was a great challenge for our guys,” Carroll said. “They kind of righted it, and with the tempo change we implemented, it seemed to help us.”

The News Tribune

SEATTLE — It took more than three months for left-hander James Paxton to make his 11th start of the season for the Seattle Mariners.

Only it didn’t last long.

And it’s more than likely too late.

Paxton allowed three runs, two earned, in three innings in his first start since heading to the disabled list on May 29. And though five Mariners relievers combined to allow no runs the rest of the way, the early damage was enough for the Colorado Rockies to escape with a 3-2 victory Sunday afternoon at Safeco Field and take two of the three games in the series.

“No excuses,” Paxton said. “I just didn’t have it today. I felt this one was a good one to build off of and get ready for the next one.”

There just aren’t many next ones left.

The Mariners (69-75) dropped to seven games back of the Texas Rangers – who beat the Oakland Athletics, 12-4 — for the second American League wild card spot with 18

nine wins in 12 games — if the ball had landed on the field, it found Barnes’ glove.

And left members of both teams in awe.

“That was unbelievable,” Rockies catcher Dustin Garneau said. “It saved us a run and kept us in front. It’s probably the No. 1 play on ESPN.” Said Robinson Cano: “Man, I watched it on TV and it was even better. Wow, that was a good catch.”

As if Seager’s day wasn’t already rough enough. His throwing error in the fourth inning allowed two runs to score.

Paxton started the inning, until he was tagged for a ground-rule double off the bat of Willin Rosario before walking Justin Morneau. That ended Paxton’s day at 69 pitches.

His final line: three innings, two hits, three runs (two earned) with three walks and four strikeouts.

So in came Mayckol Guaipe to continue the crazy half inning. Rockies shortstop Cristhian Adames laid a bunt that got past a diving Guaipe and was bobbled by Logan Morrison.

That loaded the bases for Garneau, who hit a ground ball to Seager. Seager’s throw to the plate, on the run, sailed wide of catcher Steven Baron, allowing two runs to score.

“I tried to make it a little more than I needed,” Seager said.

Barnes followed with a grounder to Marte, who got Adames in a run down between third and home for the first out of the inning.

Guaipe then intentionally walked Charlie Blackmon to again load the bases before the Mariners escaped when DJ LeMahieu hit a double-play liner to Cano.

All that, and Colorado had pushed its lead to 3-0.

games to play.

Seattle has Rockies left fielder Brandon Barnes to partially thank for that.

Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon said Barnes’ play in the eighth inning was probably one of the top-10 plays of the year.

Kyle Seager lined a shot toward the leftfield corner, but Barnes dove near the foul line and caught it for the out. He then jumped to his feet and hit a relay man, who doubled up Ketel Marte at first base after the Mariners shortstop hustled back after rounding second.

“Off the bat, I really didn’t think there was any chance (Barnes) got to it,” Seager said. “I thought it was going to be a double, for sure.

With the way Marte runs there, you got to think that ties the game.

“It was one of the best plays I’ve seen this year.”

Said Barnes: “When you get that close to diving head-first into the wall, it’s never fun.

But I knew I had a little bit of room, so I went for it.”

Instead of a potential 3-3 game — and a chance for the Mariners to push their streak to
