Clean Energy Fund draws fire State Sen. Maralyn Chase says the fund represents fraudulent use of tax dollars, and criticizes handling of a grant funneled through the PUD to 1Energy Systems.

MARYSVILLE — It’s been two months since the levee at the Qwuloolt Estuary was breached, letting the tides return to the lowlands for the first time in a century.

There are early signs that the action is having its intended effect.

“We’re already seeing marine species like smelt come in,” said Morgan Ruff, the Snohomish Basin Capital Program Coordinator for the Tulalip Tribes.

Biologists monitoring the changes to the landscape also have caught an adult coho salmon in the new estuary.

It’s still early in the process, Ruff said, too early to begin quantifying the results of the project.

But the anecdotal signs instill a sense of optimism.

“It’s pretty amazing that as soon as you open up the habitat, the fish start using it immediately,” she said.

Ruff’s update was part of a presentation Saturday at Sound Living 2015, a one-day conference put on by the Washington State University Snohomish County Extension Beach Watchers program.

GRANITE FALLS — Anna Schoolcraft likes her commute.

It takes her about three minutes driving in her red Corvette Stingray to get to her job at Cobalt Enterprises, a machine shop that makes parts for aerospace companies.

Nearly all of the company’s 98 workers live within 10 miles of the shop.

That’s by design, says Cobalt Vice President Paul Clark. He runs the company with its founder, President Fred Schule.

Both men say it is important to them to bring jobs to the community. And, they add, lowering trade barriers will make it easier to do that.

“It’s a great place to work. They take care of us,” Schoolcraft said.

The company offers good pay and benefits. There’s also free soda, juice and food in the break room.

The workers are locals, but the parts they make end up on commercial airplanes flying around the world.

Schoolcraft was inserting tiny aluminum rings into heat sinks that will be shipped to Malaysia for further processing before being sent to Crane Aerospace in Lynnwood. In the end, the heat sinks will go into circuit boards used on airplanes.

“We are a link in the chain” that spans the globe, Clark said.

So, lowering trade barriers means more business for Cobalt, which can hire more locals, he said.

The proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement will lower barriers and boost business for Cobalt and hundreds of other small aerospace suppliers in Washington, he said. Negotiators recently finished the agreement’s text, which must still be approved

by Congress and the White House.

Space station survives 15 years of human presence

By Marcia Dunn Associated Press

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Humankind marked an off-the-planet pinnacle Monday: the 15th anniversary of continuous residency at the International Space Station.

NASA and its global partners celebrated the milestone, as did the six astronauts on board. The U.S., Russian and Japanese spacemen planned a special dinner 250 miles up.

Commander Scott Kelly, seven months into a yearlong mission, said the biggest benefit of the orbiting lab is furthering long-term exploration goals deeper into space.

“The space station really is a bridge. It’s a test bed for the technologies that we need to develop and understand in order to have a successful trip to Mars,” American astronaut Kjell Lindgren noted during a news conference.

Since the first permanent crew moved in on Nov. 2, 2000, 220 people have come and gone, representing 17 countries.

The United States is in the lead because of all the space shuttle flights that were needed to deliver station pieces; Russia is in second place, and Canada

and Japan tied for third.

At least one American and one Russian have been on board at all times.

More than 26,500 meals have been dished up, according to NASA, and the complex has grown from three to 13 rooms since 2000. The current structure has a mass of nearly 1 million pounds and as much pressurized volume as a Boeing 747.

The most important experiment, Kelly said, is about keeping humans alive in space. His oneyear mission with Russian Mikhail Kornienko, due to end in March, includes 400 experiments, many of them medical. Americans have never spent this long in space; the Russians have, but it was decades ago on the former Mir station.

NASA puts the number of experiments at this space station, over the years, at more than 1,760. At the same time, there have been 189 spacewalks to build and maintain the outpost since construction began in 1998; No. 190 will occur Friday when Kelly and Lindgren venture out for the second time in 1½ weeks.

As the space station ages, more maintenance will be required. NASA hopes to keep the complex running until 2024.

NASA

Astronaut Kjell Lindgren performs maintenance outside the International Space Station on Oct. 28.

NASA Administrator Charles Bolden called Monday’s milestone “a remarkable moment 5,478 days in the making.”

“It has taught us about what’s possible when tens of thousands of people across 15 countries collaborate to advance shared goals,” Bolden said in a statement.

One sticking point, one to two decades ago, was a name for the place other than International Space Station — ISS in

NASA shorthand.

The original inhabitants — American Bill Shepherd and Russians Sergei Krikalev and Yuri Gidzenko — christened their high-flying home Alpha when they arrived, but the name didn’t last. Kelly remembers wishing back then that the space station had a real name, but the various countries couldn’t agree on one.

“Now, it’s the ‘space station’ to me and I think it’s a great name,” Kelly

told reporters. “The name ‘International Space Station’ really represents what it is. So in some ways, maybe it’s a better name.”

As for day-to-day life, Japanese astronaut Kimiya Yui said the space station has yielded a unique culture given all the nationalities involved, with the crew members respecting each other. If this were practiced back on the planet, he noted, “the Earth will be a much better place.”

Ex-Speaker Hastert’s portrait removed from House hallway

By Alan Fram Associated Press

WASHINGTON — New Speaker Paul Ryan has had a portrait of Dennis Hastert removed from a hallway outside the House chamber, just days after the former speaker pleaded guilty to breaking banking laws in a hush

money scheme.

The painting of Hastert, R-Ill., had hung for years in the Speaker’s Lobby, a plush area just outside the House chamber where lawmakers and reporters often congregate during votes. That lobby’s walls are adorned with portraits of 22 former speakers, with another 28 hanging

in corridors and stairwells just outside the lobby.

Its removal marks one of the first visible changes instituted by Ryan, R-Wis., who became speaker last Thursday following the resignation of Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio. It was taken down over the weekend, said several congressional aides who spoke

on condition of anonymity but weren’t authorized to openly provide details.

Asked for details about why the portrait was taken down, Ryan spokeswoman AshLee Strong said: “The speaker believed it was appropriate to rotate in a different portrait.”

Ryan himself declined to comment as he entered

the House chamber late Monday.

Hastert, 73, pleaded guilty last Wednesday to evading banking laws. He acknowledged in a written agreement that he tried paying someone $3.5 million to hide misconduct decades ago, around the period he was a high school wrestling coach.

OSO MUDSLIDE

Timber firm loses bid to avoid litigation

By Scott North Herald Writer

OSO — A timber company that argues its logging over the years had nothing to do with the deadly Oso mudslide will have to make

its case before a jury, a judge has ruled.

Grandy Lake Forest Associates failed to convince King County Superior Court Judge Roger Rogoff that a trial is unnecessary to determine whether it bears any

responsibility for the March 22, 2014, disaster.

Attorneys for the Skagit County-based company had filed a summary judgment motion seeking to be dismissed from a wrongful death lawsuit brought

by attorneys representing people who were killed in the slide.

Among other things, Grandy Lake blamed media attention on it becoming part of the case, particularly coverage that focused on studies done over the years

This is a huge economic engine for us. ... A water trail is like a scenic byway.

It tells you what you’re looking at and why you care.

suggesting the company’s cutting of trees on an area known as the Whitman Bench may have increased groundwater that reached the slide area.

Illness delays trial of ex-cop

KEVIN CLARK / THE HERALD

Snohomish County has received a federal grant from the National Park Service to develop a Sky to Sound water trail through 84 miles of scenic state land along the Skykomish River. County Parks Director Tom Teigen said the county has desired such a trail for at least two decades.

The Sky’s the limit

Officials tout recreation, tourism potential of Sky to Sound water trail

By Amy Nile Herald Writer

EVERETT — There’s an effort under way to make it easier to use an 84-mile stretch of the scenic Skykomish River — one of the state’s most popular spots for water recreation.

The Sky to Sound water trail map will show outdoor enthusiasts 33 river access points from Possession Sound to the Wild Sky Wilderness, which is part of

the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest north of U.S. 2.

The intent is to increase outdoor use of the Skykomish and bring money into rural communities along it by providing information that makes for easier navigation.

“This is a huge economic engine for us,” said Annique Bennett, tourism coordinator for Snohomish County’s Office of Economic Development.

The Sky to Sound plan will map

recreational access spots along parts of the North and South Fork Skykomish, Snoqualmie and Snohomish rivers. All but three of the entry points are public. The others are already used for recreation but are privately managed.

The hope is that by making information about public spaces easily available, outdoor enthusiasts will stay off private land.

“When this is all done, the public will be much more clear about where to get on and get

off” the water, Bennett said.

The county is not seeking changes, such as asking landowners to allow people on their property, Bennett said. The project aims to provide information about existing river access points, available amenities such as campgrounds and restrooms, and the towns along the way such as Index, Gold Bar, Sultan, Monroe and Snohomish.

EVERETT — Three children and three adults were taken to the hospital Sunday night after a hit-and-run crash in south Everett.

The collision involved two SUVs and was reported around 10:30 p.m. at the intersection of Fifth Avenue W and W Casino Road.

Detectives with the Everett Police Department’s Traffic

Safety Unit were on the scene into the early morning hours.

A police dog was unable to track a suspect who ran from the crash, Everett police officer Aaron Snell said Monday.

Six people, including the three children, were in a Chevrolet Tahoe.

“Due to the force of the collision, the three juveniles and one adult had been ejected from the vehicle,” Snell said.

The children, whose ages were not immediately available, were

taken to Providence Regional Medical Center Everett before being transferred to a Seattle hospital. There was no medical update on the children Monday morning, Snell said.

The Tahoe was struck on the driver’s side.

A Dodge Durango involved in the collision was abandoned in the road when the driver ran from the scene.

EVERETT — Trial was put on hold Monday for a former Monroe police sergeant who is in the midst of testifying about his connection to a woman 35 years his junior whom he allegedly groomed for a sexual relationship starting when she was his family’s teenage babysitter.

Carlos Alberto Martinez spent much of Friday on the witness stand denying there was anything sexual about hiding cameras in his bathroom in 2004 and secretly recording the 15-year-old while she undressed and used the shower. He also said there was no sexual contact between them until early 2007, when she was 18 and he was 52.

Martinez, 61, was scheduled to resume testifying Monday morning, but defense attorney Mark Mestel was ill.

Snohomish County Superior Court Judge Michael Downes sent jurors home for the day and said he was hopeful the trial would resume Tuesday morning and reach deliberations by midweek.

“I apologize for this but this is a very human business,” Downes said of the delay.

Martinez is charged with voyeurism and possession of depictions of a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct, both felonies.

Prosecutors allege the videotaping was a crime because the former babysitter, now 26, was unaware Martinez was recording her. They also say he created and kept the videos for years for his sexual gratification.

Martinez on Friday testified that he wasn’t sexually interested in the babysitter when he created the videos. Further, he insisted that he told her about them in July 2007, months after they’d begun having an affair. They went on to live as a couple in Texas starting in 2009, but the relationship ended two years later.

The young woman testified for most of three days about her guilt and confusion over sexual conduct she insisted began with Martinez improperly touching her when she was in her early teens. She testified not knowing about the secret recordings until 2011.

Martinez on Friday said that wasn’t the case, that he’d researched the statute of limitations prior to giving her the tapes in 2011 and was convinced he faced no potential legal repercussions.

Seattle targets homelessness Light voter turnout expected Associated Press SEATTLE — Seattle’s mayor, council members and the King County Executive signed proclamations on Monday declaring the city’s growing homelessness an emergency situation.

A continuing increase in the numbers of homeless and deaths of homeless people in spite of expanded services prompted the action, officials said.

Mayor Ed Murray and the Seattle City Council outlined a $5.3 million package to address the demands for services,

about $900,000 of which is slated for 100 added shelter beds. The plan also includes a mobile mental health van, the Seattlepi. com reported.

Murray said the city is prepared to do more but that federal and state partners also need to step up. He said homelessness should be a national priority with a federal response and cited a decline in federal housing support and slim state budgets for mental health and substance abuse treatments as factors that have increased the burden on local governments.

Constantine has proposed $2 million in investments, some of which are before the King County Council, that would address immediate human needs and target the root causes of homelessness.

The state reports that 35,000 people in King County become homeless at some point during the year.

Councilmember John Okamoto said emergency shelters are needed but new investments in prevention will help reduce the long-term problem of homelessness.

OLYMPIA — Washington voters will weigh in this week on two initiatives dealing with wildlife trafficking and taxes, as well as a competitive legislative race in an off-year election that is expected to have subpar turnout.

Voters across received their ballots at home weeks ago for Tuesday’s election, but the secretary of state’s office has predicted that just 46 percent of the state’s four million voters would return their ballots. “It seems like nothing has lit

up the voters this year,” said David Ammons, spokesman for Secretary of State Kim Wyman.

The biggest-ticket items are the two statewide ballot measures. Initiative 1401 would ban the purchase, sale and distribution of parts or products made from 10 endangered animals: lions, elephants, rhinos, tigers, leopards, cheetahs, marine turtles, pangolins, sharks and rays.

Initiative 1366 would decrease the 6.5-percent state sales tax to 5.5 percent unless the Legislature approves a constitutional amendment that would reinstate a two-thirds legislative majority requirement if voters approved it. Currently, taxes can be raised through a simple-majority vote of the Legislature.

More than 3,000 local races are also taking place across the state, ranging from city councils, school boards port commissions and local tax measures.

Democrats hold a slim 51-47 advantage in the House, and Republicans hope to tighten that margin heading into the even more significant 2016 election, when the entire House is on the ballot.

likely reached the site from sources other than rain falling on clearcuts on the Whitman Bench.

In his written ruling, the judge took notice of Grandy Lake’s theory about what was going on under the ground prior to the mudslide.

“While these arguments may very well win the day, they will have to win the day in front of a jury,” Rogoff wrote. “A genuine issue of material fact exists as to whether Grandy Lake’s alterations to their land increased the landslide risk.”

The judge also held that a jury should decide what duty, if any, Grandy Lake owed others in the valley below.

Lawyers for those suing Grandy Lake say clear-cutting in 2004 plus thinning and other work on the property in 2010 allowed more rain to percolate into a hill that already had a long history of slides.

The summary judgment motion was resisted by attorneys Corrie Yackulic, John Phillips, Guy Michelson and Karen Willie.

In all, 43 people died and dozens of homes were destroyed in the mudslide.

benefitting from the fund’s proceeds.

“We can provide the infrastructure that the clean energy sector needs,” she said. “That’s the role of government.

It’s not the role of government to invest in private enterprise.”

State officials defend the program that has received $76 million in funding from the Legislature since 2013.

“We think we’ve run a good solid competitive process,” said Tony Usibelli, director of the Washington State Energy Office in the Department of Commerce. “We have selected a number of excellent projects and we think they are going to provide significant economic benefit for the utilities and for the state.”

And there’s no sign Inslee is backing away from it.

“I’m proud of the success of our first Clean Energy Fund, and looking forward to the second generation CEF efforts now under way,” Inslee wrote in a letter to attendees of Washington’s Energy Future conference in Seattle on Monday.

Investment or giveaway?

State lawmakers established the Clean Energy Fund in the final days of the second special session in 2013.

As crafted, the fund is intended to “provide a benefit to the public through development, demonstration, and deployment of clean energy technologies that save energy and reduce energy costs, reduces harmful air emission or other increase energy independence for the state.”

The huge free-trade proposal includes the U.S. and 11 Asian and Pacific Rim countries: Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore and Vietnam.

The TPP was negotiated behind closed doors, and the text has not been made public. So, no one knows exactly what the agreement says.

Free-trade advocates in the U.S. say the agreement will spur economic activity that will help more people than it hurts, and American manufacturing will benefit from greater access to foreign markets. The agreement also includes minimum standards for labor rules, environmental quality and intellectual property.

A broad collection of groups oppose the pact, including environmental advocates, labor unions and advocates for digital consumers.

Labor groups say the Trans-Pacific Partnership will make it easier to move American jobs overseas.

The Washington Fair Trade Coalition calls it a “supersize version” of the North American Free Trade Agreement, which many labor activists blame for moving jobs out of the country.

At Cobalt, Schule isn’t worried about work going overseas.

Machine shops in countries where labor is cheap can’t compete on

quality, which must be extremely high and consistent in aerospace. Also, Cobalt Enterprises makes many parts that have to be made in the U.S. due to federal restrictions on exporting military-related technologies.

“When a company bids us against foreign competition, we don’t play that game” by cutting the job price, he said in his office overlooking a handful of milling machines on the shopfloor.

Schule started Cobalt Enterprises in 2004 out of his garage. He’s built the company into one with a reputation for doing highquality work on hard jobs.

Now, it fills four big buildings just outside Granite Falls and is still growing.

Cobalt’s revenues should grow by about 40 percent in 2016, Clark said.

The company is moving most of its operations to a new home in Lake Stevens in 2016. Work will continue at its current site, which will focus on expanding its high-press hydraulic system business.

Small exporters in Washington stand to benefit the most from the agreement, said Maria Contreras-Sweet, head of the U.S. Small Business Administration.

Big producers can absorb the costs of international trade, which price out smaller companies.

“TPP is going to change the math” for some Washington businesses and farms looking to export, she said.

Larsen to hold meetings U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen is still figuring out his position on the Trans-Pacific Partnership. Starting next week, he is holding open meetings to hear voters’ thoughts on the proposed agreement. The Snohomish County meeting will be at 9:30 a.m. Nov. 14. The location has not been set. For information, call his office at 800-562-1385, or check his website at larsen.house.gov.

a court might consider the public benefit if it appeared the money did not serve a “fundamental purpose of government.”

But, she wrote, “There is no proof of donative intent under the Clean Energy Program and the courts will not inquire into the adequacy of the consideration the public receives unless there is proof of a “grossly inadequate” return.”

Chase is pretty much a lone voice on this among her peers.

Rep. Hans Dunshee, D-Snohomish, authored the capital budget in 2013 that contained the energy fund’s initial dollars.

“I disagree with her. I don’t think it is a gift of public funds,” said Dunshee whose environmentalist credentials match Chase’s.

“We give private companies money all the time if there is a public purpose and there is a public purpose in this.

“If you can give someone public money for a football stadium then you can do this. There’s much more public use in this,” he said.

There are lawmakers who think Chase is onto something. And those who are Republicans are glad that Chase is a Democrat so the pursuit can’t be dismissed as partisan politics.

“She’s doing a good job bird-dogging it. I’d like to get those questions answered,” said Sen. Doug Ericksen, R-Ferndale, chairman of the Senate Energy, Environment and Telecommunications Committee. “My concern is you have a department trying to be a venture capitalist with the public’s tax dollars.”

The Snohomish PUD connection Chase isn’t just fired up about the money doled out in grants.

She’s also pressing for answers on whether any rules were broken

by former state officials now working for 1Energy Systems.

The Seattle-based firm is central to the Snohomish County Public Utility District’s ambitious effort to develop new clean-energy technology using industrial-size batteries.

That effort, with its $20.5 million cost, is paid for, in part, with a $7.3 million Clean Energy Fund grant to the PUD by the Department of Commerce. Thus far, the PUD has received about $1.85 million of the grant, according to utility district spokesman Neil Neroutsos.

The state Executive Ethics Board is investigating whether former state Commerce Director Rogers Weed and former Deputy Director Daniel Malarkey violated ethics law in the course of their work for 1Energy Systems.

In June, current Commerce Department Director Brian Bonlender said there was no evidence of wrongdoing, but with taxpayer dollars involved and lawmakers asking about the situation, he decided to ask the ethics board for assistance.

At that time Malarkey and Weed issued a statement expressing their willingness to cooperate fully.

“We believe that, when the timeline and facts are examined closely, our departure from the Department of Commerce, before the selection committee responsible for choosing Clean Energy Fund grantees had even been formed, will prove compelling, and we will be exonerated of any suggestion of wrongdoing,” they said.

In mid-July, before Bonlender got an answer to his request, the ethics board received formal complaints against Weed, Malarkey and several other current and former Commerce officials. Bonlender and Usibelli are among

those targeted.

The identity of the complainant has not been disclosed.

Washington’s Ethics in Public Service Act lays out the ground rules for what employees can do and when they can do it upon leaving the state payroll for a job in the private sector.

The complaints against Weed and Malarkey allege violations of several sections. One cited is “Employment after public service” which contains a proviso requiring a person to wait two years before having a “direct or indirect beneficial interest in a contract or grant funded by specific legislative or executive action” in which they participated.

Weed left the department in February 2013 and five months later joined 1Energy’s board of advisers. In April 2014, he joined the company as an employee.

“From my side, I had no involvement whatsoever in the Clean Energy Fund while in state service,” he said in a recent email to The Daily Herald.

And “my duties at 1Energy do not involve any interaction with the Clean Energy Fund program.”

Malarkey left Commerce and joined 1Energy in September 2013 where he helped put together the PUD’s grant application, which did not mention his involvement.

Before leaving state employment he “played a significant role” in establishing the Clean Energy Fund, a Commerce official wrote in an email to lawmakers in June.

Many of the allegations came out of the PUD’s own ethics investigation earlier this year into its nobid contracts with 1Energy Systems. The independent investigator found that PUD officials and 1Energy’s founder, Dave Kaplan, broke the district’s ethics policy by failing to take

adequate steps to avoid the appearance of favoritism.

Kaplan is named in the complaints. He is a former consultant for the commerce department and a former PUD employee.

The complaints, filed in mid-July, also name Michael Carr, who helped launch the state’s Clean Energy Fund while working at the department. Carr is now an attorney with UniEnergy Technologies, a PUD subcontractor through 1Energy Systems.

In search of answers A whistleblower, Anthony Curtis, prompted the PUD investigation. He then turned to Chase for help as well.

“When a whistleblower brings me an issue, I’m obligated to look into it,” she said without mentioning Curtis by name.

“What I found was a can of worms. And the deeper I get into this, the madder I get.”

She insisted she would “love” to have a Washington company leading the world in the battery storage technology. She said she just can’t understand why it had to be with no-bid contracts for companies with ex-state workers.

“No one can make the case we needed to put public money into this private company to get battery storage,” she said. “There were plenty of companies doing battery storage.”

The next step depends on what comes of the ethics investigations.

“I want to stop what I believe could be corruption but I don’t know,” Chase said. “If they don’t do anything, the next thing we’ll have to do is go to the ballot to fix this. Am I wasting my time? No, absolutely not. All of this reminds me of Watergate. Follow the money.”

Fund

million in the fund for the 2013-15 capital budget and added another $40 million in the current two-year spending plan.

It has three components.

One is to provide loans to nonprofits to carry out energy efficiency projects.

Another chunk of dollars is used to match federal funds for energy-related research at places such as the University of Washington and Washington State University. The third batch of money is for the grants.

Of the total, $35 million is earmarked for public and private electrical utilities that serve retail customers in Washington.

These grants are intended to advance the development of renewable energy technologies.

Chase argues the grants constitute a gift of public funds because taxpayers won’t recoup their investment. She says the state constitution requires a clear public benefit and demands the tax dollars cannot enrich the profits of a private company.

Chase felt the same way when she voted against creation of the Life Sciences Discovery Fund in 2005 and a cancer research fund earlier this year.

“That’s not what public dollars are for,” she said.

But a June memo from the state Attorney General’s office rebutted Chase’s contention.

“The Clean Energy Program serves a public purpose and there is a persuasive argument that conserving energy, improving the reliability of renewable energy and reducing harmful air emissions protects the health and welfare of the public and serves a fundamental government purpose,” Kathryn McLeod, senior counsel in the agency’s Agriculture & Health Division, wrote in an email prompted by queries from Chase.

Navajo Nation weighs spending $20M for planes

By Felicia Fonseca

We live in a third-world country over here. How does a third-world country have lavish planes like that?

Associated Press

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — Lawmakers on the Navajo Nation have given the OK for a team to negotiate a $20 million loan to acquire three new planes, raising questions among tribal members about the priorities on the vast reservation where half the workforce Begaye, who has said he is unemployed and thou- will veto it if it affects direct sands live without running services to Navajo people. water and electricity.

spend $20 million for the purchase of new aircraft — possibly jets — along with training and maintenance.

“With a new fleet of aircraft, you guys will be set for another 35 years,” he said.

Depending on what the tribe actually buys, the aircraft could have trouble taking off from some of the tribe’s runways. In Tuba City, a hump in the pavement limits planes to mostly the southern end of the runway. The Window Rock airport cannot be expanded in its current location. Residents also have complained about noise from planes, airports manager Arlando Teller said.

Some Navajos have cited what they said were more pressing needs on the reservation and suggested tribal officials could drive to their destinations or to commercial airports.

Lorinda Ben, of Nazlini, said Navajos struggle daily with having to travel long distances on rough roads, most of which are unpaved on the reservation.

Electricity and running water can be considered luxuries for people living on the reservation.

“We live in a thirdworld country over here,” Ben said. “How does a third-world country have lavish planes like that? It’s ridiculous.”

Bush hits campaign reset with new slogan

CHRIS O’MEARA / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Republican presidential hopeful Jeb Bush, speaks during a rally Monday in Tampa, Florida.

Bush’s reset comes as a populist surge has propelled the outsider campaigns of bombastic developer Trump and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson — and created an opportunity for Rubio, a freshman senator from Florida and former Bush protege, to make his appeal to the party establishment.

He and Rubio spent Monday jockeying for institutional credentials. Bush

Sanders airs 1st TV ad WASHINGTON — Bernie Sanders is airing his first television ad in two early presidential voting states, hoping to introduce himself to a broader slice of the electorate.

The largely biographical ad, titled “Real Change” looks to highlight what his campaign says is his history “of standing up for working families and for principle.”

The new ad marks the next phase of Sanders’ campaign, as the Vermont senator who is seeking the Democratic presidential nomination tries to build momentum after a stunning summer surge in which the self-described democratic socialist drew massive crowds to campaign events across the country. His biggest challenge will be to broaden his base beyond the party activists, millennials and aging progressives drawn to his campaign.

The ad will air statewide in Iowa and New Hampshire and is part of a $2 million-plus ad buy, his campaign said.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Jeb Bush hit the reset button on his faltering presidential campaign, racing across Florida on Monday with a new slogan that cast him as the sole Republican candidate who can right what’s wrong with Washington: “Jeb Can Fix It.” But the pithy phrasing could apply as much to his effort to steady the campaign as it does to his sense of confidence about handling the nation’s problems.

“This is not about big personalities on the stage.

It’s not about talking. It’s about doing,” the two-term Florida governor told supporters in Jacksonville.

His remarks, repeated earlier in Tampa and Orlando, were obvious jabs at rivals Donald Trump and Marco Rubio, and a nod to his flat performance in the debate last week

three months of the preprimary campaign now has an off-key ring, underscored by a cascade of criticism in online forums, including Twitter.

Even in his home state of Florida, Bush has a steep climb. Statewide polls show Trump leading the large GOP field, with Carson and Rubio ahead of Bush.

Surrounded Monday by friends and former colleagues, Bush delivered a morning speech in Tampa that amounted to re-declaring his candidacy, without changing his message or significantly altering his campaign strategy. Bush recently announced an across-theboard cut in salaries to protect his available campaign cash for the final charge into Iowa.

“But let me be clear: I’m not stepping into the role of ‘angry agitator’ that they have created for us, because it’s not what’s in my heart,” Bush said, a nod

Boeing in Puget Sound:

A Century of Partnership

B

oeing is coming up on a special year. In July, the company will be 100 years old. It’s a great success story, but Boeing didn’t do it alone. They’ve had incredible support from the community. It’s this special relationship between Boeing and its Puget Sound neighbors that will make its second century even better for the company and the communities where its employees live and work.

Boeing and Puget Sound have come far in their journey together. Today, they’re major partners in international trade – with aerospace accounting for over half the state’s exports last year. Boeing is the largest single exporter in the U.S. – an important engine of the economy and a creator of jobs in the Puget Sound area.

Although Puget Sound is home to a number of major companies, Boeing remains the state’s largest private employer, with over 80,000 employees based here in Washington. In the past five years, Boeing and Amazon together accounted, directly or indirectly, for more than 40 percent of the jobs created in the Puget Sound region.

Commercial aviation is growing around the world, and Boeing’s success in global markets supports rising production rates in Boeing factories around Puget Sound. At the same time, as Boeing increases its international growth, it is also providing support in Puget Sound communities where the majority of its employees live.

In 2014, Boeing, its employees and retirees gave more than $50 million to Washington state charities and nonprofit organizations.

Boeing support for Puget Sound communities Boeing is an important presence in Washington state and in the lives of its residents, and has become a catalyst for positive change in millions of lives.

In 2014, Boeing, its employees and retirees gave more than $50 million to Washington state charities and nonprofit organizations. The continued growth in aviation means the Puget Sound region stands to receive continued strong community support for health and human services, arts, environmental, culture and civic engagement.

Boeing employees are also playing a leadership role

Boeing is working to significantly expand Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM) educational opportunities for Puget Sound youth.

in supporting their communities where they live and work.

Through the Employees Community Fund of Boeing Puget Sound, more than $9 million in financial assistance was provided to local nonprofits to boost education, human services and veterans support.

The company is also inspiring the next generation of Puget Sound leaders. More than 650 Everett middle school students have participated in Boeing programs focused on energy efficiency and renewable energy. Students are also learning about clean energy and energy conservation due in part to a Boeing-funded science curriculum within the Everett School District.

Boeing partners with Everett Community College to train aviation mechanics, and has contributed more than $9 million to the United Way of Snohomish County and other organizations dedicated to service.

For the past five years, Boeing employees have volunteered to encourage recycling, employee engagement and community volunteering companywide. The Sustainables, a Green Team based in the Puget Sound, has completed about 80 site-based projects since 2010, contributing to a 74 percent increase in recycling and environmental education initiatives at the local sites.

Boeing also supports military personnel and families.

The Employees Community Fund awarded a grant to USO Northwest to support the construction on a new USO Welcome Center at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, which will serve more than 10,000 military personnel and their families each month.

Boeing is lead supporter for Rally Point 6, a nonprofit that helps veterans seeking employment, educational opportunities, assistance with benefits, housing or transition advice. Since the center opened in March 2014, more than 1,750 military, veterans and their families have found support.

With Boeing winning in growing the aerospace marketplace, Puget Sound residents will see a win of their own. As the state’s largest employer, Boeing has shown a commitment to giving time, talent and resources to build up the communities its employees call home.

Seattle-area heavyweights Boeing and Amazon generate 43% of new Puget Sound Jobs

T

he Seattle metro area has experienced an impressive 15.5 percent growth in employment since 2010, with 43 percent of jobs generated by two of the area’s largest employers: Boeing and Amazon, according to a September report by the Seattle City Budget Office. In comparison, Washington State has seen 12.5 percent job growth and the U.S. overall 9.7 percent growth

during that same time period.

Boeing and Amazon, both of which have had a longestablished presence in the Puget Sound area (founded in 1916 and 1994 respectively), are responsible for the creation of high-skill, high-wage jobs with an average annual salary of $100,000 in Seattle and the surrounding areas. The economic robustness of these two major employers over the past five

years has been directly linked to the addition of thousands of other secondary and tertiary jobs, such as in construction, retail and service sectors, that, when combined, account for a substantial amount of job growth in the region. In light of this, ensuring Boeing and Amazon’s continued success will be a key factor in maintaining a healthy regional economy.

Boeing is a key driver of strong employment growth in the Seattle region over the past five years, according to a new economic study.

Tarmac Talk Is Boeing the largest building on earth?

TRUE. Guinness World Records list the Boeing Everett factory as the largest manufacturing building in the world by volume at 472 million cubic feet (13.3 million cubic meters).

Is Boeing a city?

TRUE. The Everett factory is like a small city, requiring its own fire department, security force, fully equipped medical clinic, electrical substations and water treatment plant.

The Boeing Factory employees 100,000 people.

Boeing 787 Dreamliners for China Southern Airlines and Hainan Airlines at Beijing Capital International Airport in China.

FALSE. There are about 35,000 employees working at the Everett facility, and they work in three shifts around the clock.

China becoming powerful catalyst for Puget Sound economic growth

The Boeing Factory is so big that it rains in the factory.

FALSE. Although the factory is the world’s largest building, it does not rain nor does it create any cloud/rain inside the factory building. However, when the factory was first built, clouds actually formed near the ceiling.

The weather cleared when an aircirculation system was installed.

C

hina is projected to become the world’s largest commercial airplane market by 2030, creating opportunities worth billions for the Puget Sound region.

The country is already Washington’s largest trading partner, with nearly a quarter of all the state’s exports headed for Chinese markets. In 2014, more than $20.7 billion in goods were exported, including apples, cherries, hops and wine.

Topping the export list is the aerospace industry and Boeing.

China’s rapidly growing aviation market plays a crucial role in Boeing’s current and future success, said Boeing Chairman Jim McNerney in a news release.

Boeing projects Chinese markets will need 6,330 new planes worth $950 billion by 2034, making them the company’s largest potential customer.

While Boeing makes up more than 50 percent of the Chinese commercial airplane market, the company is in a stiff competition to win Chinese orders against European plane-maker Airbus.

The European company opened an airplane completion facility in Tianjin, near Beijing, in 2008 for the A320, and announced plans this summer to open a facility to finish interiors of the twin-aisle A330 in China. Boeing is leveling the competition with its Sept. 23 announcement to

Is there a maze of walkways running below the factory?

TRUE. There are 2.33 miles or 3.7 kilometers of pedestrian tunnels running below the factory. The tunnels are also utilized for operating the utilities and comes in handy during winter when getting around in the cold and snow can be a challenge.

Boeing employs more than 165,000 people worldwide.

TRUE. Their workforce is a combined total from within the United States and in more than 65 countries.

The have the largest mural in the world.

TRUE. According to Guinness World Records, the mural on the six factory doors is the largest digital graphic in the world.

Q&A on

Boeing and China

Q: What is the most important thing people need to know about China and Boeing?

A:

Boeing is competing hard to win sales in China because China will become the world’s largest airplane market in the coming years, and our success there is vital to Boeing production and employment in the United States and Puget Sound. This year, Boeing will deliver about 25 percent of all the airplanes we produce, including about one in three 737s built in Renton, to China. And, over the next 20 years, Boeing has forecast demand there for more than 6,300 new airplanes

valued at nearly $1 trillion. One reason why China’s airlines are growing so rapidly is that its middle class is as large as the entire U.S. population yet, on average, people in China travel on airplanes a tenth as often as Americans.

Q:

The Chinese economy seems to be struggling.

Could this hurt Chinese demand for orders from Boeing?

A: Our forecast for airplane demand accounts for fluctuation in markets over a 20-year period.

We’re confident that China’s economy and aviation sector will continue to see strong

open a similar facility in China.

The company’s 40-year business relationship with China, which helped develop its aviation industry, could give the Puget Sound region an added advantage to come out on top.

An investment treaty between China and the U.S. could provide a framework for broader investment in U.S. and Chi-

nese economies, according to previous reports.

Supporters say, if signed, an agreement with China would create “a powerful catalyst for more economic growth,” according to The Daily Herald. The agreement would open up more of its market to American companies, provide clearer rules for Chinese investment in the U.S. and create jobs on both sides. Nonetheless, both sides have a long way to go in negotiating any investment agreement.

With Boeing’s announcement to build a China-based delivery center – the first of its kind outside the U.S. – job creation will be on the rise and employment on the 737 line in Washington will not be reduced, according to a memo from Ray Conner, president and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes. The deal announced Sept. 23 also involves delivering 300 Boeing jets worth $38 billion, nearly double last year’s record delivery of 155 airplanes to China.

Despite the competition and obstacles before them, Randy Tinseth, Boeing Commercial Airplanes’ vice president for marketing, said in a Sept. 16 Daily Herald report, that selling in the Chinese market depends on the same fundamentals as in others: relationships, patience and investment.

For Boeing, all three are covered.

Airplane sales to China are vital to Boeing, its workforce and the region’s prosperity. Boeing has worked with Chinese aviation industry stakeholders - including customers, suppliers, government agencies and others in mutually beneficial ways for more than 40 years.

growth over the long term.

Q: What are the factors that determine whether Boeing or your competitor sells more airplanes in China?

A: First and foremost, Boeing

has to deliver the best and most fuel-efficient airplanes and services to support our customers’ business plans. In addition, we must continue to grow our 40-year presence and collaboration with China’s aviation industry because this supports our sales opportunities, market access and long-term growth.

This is not surprising: Just as Americans like to buy products made in the USA, China and

other countries expect Boeing to partner with their industry and contribute to their economies.

Q: Why has Boeing decided to establish a 737 finishing and delivery center in China?

A:

China is the key international market for the 737: This year, Chinese carriers will take delivery of one out of every three 737s that our employees build in Renton. With this in mind, a 737 completion and delivery center makes sense for several reasons: it serves Chinese customers by bringing the 737 closer to home, it adds capacity that will enable our planned production-rate increases in

Boeing’s 737 factory in Renton, and it allows us to collaborate with Chinese industry in a way that supports our access to the China market.

Q:

Will this new facility in China cause layoffs in the Puget Sound?

A: No. This facility in China increases Boeing’s 737 production capacity and will not result in layoffs or reduce employment for the 737 program. In addition, significant 737 sales to Chinese customers combined with this new China-based facility will enable higher 737 production rates on the 737 program in coming years.

The people of Snohomish County have been fishing, farming, teaching, protecting our nation and building amazing things for over a century.

For most of that time, The Everett Clinic has been here too, providing innovative healthcare to our friends and neighbors. Thank you for your support. We’re proud to be part of your extended family.

Boeing makes $15 million investment in STEM learning

B

oeing Commercial Airplanes President and CEO Ray Conner announced that Boeing is providing $15 million to create the Boeing Academy for STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) Learning at the Museum of Flight . An additional $15 million match was announced by the family of the late Bill Boeing Jr., son of the company founder, bringing the total investment in the museum to $30 million.

The academy being created with the company’s investment represents a vigorous, new STEM-focused education initiative that aims to double the number of students served by the museum’s immersive programs over the next two

years — particularly from communities under-represented in STEM fields — and connect them to fulfilling, in-demand careers.

Washington state leads the United States in creating STEM-related jobs, but, by 2017, an estimated 45,000 jobs requiring STEM education in Washington will go unfilled because of a lack of qualified candidates, according to Washington STEM, a nonprofit organization advocating for increased investment in STEM education.

“This academy will help close that gap, and we are confident the Museum of Flight is the perfect partner to help us expand the pipeline of diverse, talented young STEM professionals in Washington and beyond,”

Conner said. “Whether they choose aerospace or not, we’re happy to provide the opportunity, access and education that will enable them to develop their talents and grow their skills.”

The Boeing Academy for STEM Learning at the Museum of Flight will significantly expand STEM opportunities for Washington’s youths, company and museum officials said.

The number of students served by the museum’s educational program is expected to double by 2017 and double again by 2019.

Additionally, at least half of those students will be young women, students of color or economically disadvantaged, which makes it possible for young people across the spectrum of the

Giving Back...

Boeing employees are making a significant difference in communities where they live and work. Through the Employees Community Fund (ECF) of Boeing Puget Sound, employees contribute funding for training for veterans, food for seniors, early learning for lowincome children – and much more. Last year, more than $9 million in grants were awarded to community non-profits throughout the Puget Sound region. Here are some recent grant recipients.

Mary’s Place increases its reach

The Greater Trinity Academy’s new bus purchased with grant money from ECF funds. The bus will be used to transport students who are a part of the GTA Before and After School Program to local schools.

$40,000 grant for Greater Trinity

EVERETT — The Greater Trinity Academy (GTA) in Everett received a $40,000 grant to purchase a new bus to transport students who are a part of their Before and After School Program to local schools.

The bus will also be used to transport GTA students to field trips and other educational opportunities in the community. GTA serves underprivileged kids and families that cannot meet the financial demand of providing quality early childhood education.

Grant allows EFP’s food storage capability to expand

SEATTLE — Mary’s Place Seattle was provided $15,000 by Boeing employees for new refrigerators and freezers at their Day Center for homeless women.

Mary’s Place empowers homeless women and children to reclaim their lives by providing shelter, nourishment, resources, healing and hope. The new freezers and refrigerators replace inadequate equipment and will help Mary’s Place continue to serve its patrons at the Day Shelter and the Night Shelters, and increase their reach to potentially support additional night shelters.

$17,000 grant for homeless KING COUNTY — The Emergency Feeding Program (EFP), located in Renton, was granted $40,000 to purchase new warehouse equipment that will expand its ability to store more food, stock inventory of packaging materials and stage food drives. EFP packs and distributes distinct, ethnically sensitive and nutritionally focused bags of non-perishable foods for those in immediate hunger by collaborating with over 200 distributor partners throughout King County. Last year, EFP and their partners packed and delivered over 20,000 bags of food serving over 45,000 people in the Puget Sound region.

Mystery surrounding jet crash Theories abound why Russian aircraft went down in Egypt

By Dmitry Lovetsky and Vladimir Isachenkov

A portrait of 10-month-old Darina Gromova, who died when a passenger jet crashed in Egypt, is surrounded by flowers and candles at the Pulkovo airport outside St. Petersburg, Russia, on Monday.

MAXIM GRIGORIEV / RUSSIAN MINISTRY FOR EMERGENCY SITUATIONS

In this photo made available Monday, members of the Egyptian military approach the plane’s tail at the site of the crash in Hassana, Egypt, on Sunday.

In televised comments from Egypt, Neradko said it would be possible to draw conclusions about the crash only after experts examined the plane’s flight data and cockpit voice recorders and studied the wreckage.

He said the large area where debris were scattered indicated the jet had broken up at high altitude, but he refrained from citing a reason for the crash pending the investigation.

Viktor Yung, another deputy director general of Metrojet, said the crew did not send a distress call and did not contact traffic controllers before the crash.

Egyptian officials have offered conflicting accounts on whether or not the plane issued any distress calls.

Experts say planes break up in flight usually due to one of

three factors: a catastrophic weather event, a midair collision or an external threat, such as a bomb or a missile.

A local affiliate of the extremist Islamic State group has claimed it brought down the aircraft, which crashed in the northern Sinai where the Egyptian military and security forces have battled militants for years.

Both Egyptian and Russian officials have dismissed that claim as not credible.

Still, the U.S., Germany and Britain all had overflight warnings in place for the Sinai. They advised airlines to avoid flying over the peninsula below 26,000 feet and to avoid the Sharm el-Sheik airport due to extremist violence and, notably, the use of anti-aircraft weapons.

The plane’s operator has a

spotty safety record and was rebranded recently in the wake of another deadly accident. The airline, registered as Kogalymavia, changed its trade name to Metrojet after one of its Tu-154 jetliners caught fire in 2011 while taxiing before takeoff, killing three people and injuring more than 40 others.

The Airbus A321-200 that crashed Saturday was built more than 18 years ago and changed several operators before entering Metrojet’s fleet in 2012.

At the crash site in the Sinai, emergency workers and aviation experts from Russia and Egypt swept across the barren terrain Monday, searching for more bodies and examining the debris.

Teams finished combing a 7.7-square-mile area for bodies by the afternoon and expanded their search to a 11.6-squaremile area. Russian Emergency Situations Minister Vladimir Puchkov promised they will not rest until all remains of the victims are found.

Investigators from France and Germany, representing Airbus, and from Ireland, where the plane was registered, were to join investigators in Egypt.

A Russian government plane brought 130 bodies and partial remains to St. Petersburg. The city, awash in grief, is holding three days of mourning through Tuesday.

Sunday was a national day of mourning, and flags flew at half-staff across Russia.

GOP in chaos a year from Election Day

By Steve Peoples and Lisa Lerer Associated Press

WASHINGTON — After a devastating loss in the 2012 presidential election, the Republican Party entered a period of intense self-reflection and emerged with a firm promise to learn from its mistakes.

The GOP vowed to avoid a prolonged and vicious 2016 primary. It concluded it must embrace an overhaul of the nation’s immigration laws and adopt a more welcoming tone to win over women and minorities.

Yet a year from Election Day 2016, the GOP primary is a rough and bumpy competition.

More than a dozen candidates are fighting for the support of voters — and skirmishing among themselves. And there are few signs the candidates are committed to expanding the party’s appeal beyond its conservative base.

“For Republicans, a freefor-all is good — I guess,” says Steve Duprey, a Republican National Committeeman from New Hampshire. “We always anticipated a vigorous contest, but I never anticipated 16 candidates.”

Meanwhile, there’s no such drama among Democrats. The party appears to be coalescing behind front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton, who is building a campaign

EPA: Volkswagen cheated 2nd time WASHINGTON — Volkswagen cheated a second time on emissions tests, programming about 10,000 cars with larger diesel engines to emit fewer pollutants during tests than in real-world driving, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.

The German automaker installed software designed to defeat the tests on VW, Porsche and Audi vehicles with six-cylinder diesel engines, the EPA and California Air Resources Board said Monday. The cars emit up to nine times more nitrogen oxide pollution than allowed by EPA standards, the agency said. The latest charges follow VW’s admission in September that it rigged emissions tests for four-cylinder diesel engines on 11 million cars worldwide.

Associated Press

ST. PETERSBURG, Russia — Mystery and confusion surrounded the final moments of a Russian jetliner that plummeted suddenly from high altitude to the Egyptian desert, killing all 224 people aboard.

The airline Monday ruled out pilot error or a technical fault, but Russian aviation officials dismissed those comments as premature.

Some aviation experts raised the possibility that a bomb on board the Metrojet Airbus A321-200 brought it down, while others cited an incident in 2001 when the aircraft grazed the runway with its tail while landing.

James Clapper, the U.S. director of national intelligence, said that while there is no direct evidence of any terrorist involvement yet, it couldn’t be excluded that the plane was brought down by Islamic State extremists in the Sinai Peninsula.

“It’s unlikely, but I wouldn’t rule it out,” he told reporters in Washington.

Asked if a terrorist attack could be ruled out, President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, said: “No versions could be excluded.”

The Metrojet was flying at 31,000 feet over the Sinai when it crashed Saturday only 23 minutes after taking off from the Egyptian Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh for St. Petersburg with mostly Russian passengers.

Metrojet firmly denied that the crash could have been caused by either equipment failure or crew error.

“The only possible explanation could be an external impact on the airplane,” Metrojet’s deputy director Alexander Smirnov told a news conference in Moscow. When pressed for more details, Smirnov said he was not at liberty to discuss them because the investigation was ongoing.

Asked if the plane could have been brought down by a terrorist attack, he said only that “anything was possible.”

But Russia’s top aviation official, Alexander Neradko, dismissed the company’s statement as premature and unfounded.

ACROSS THE U.S.

There have been moments that have been a little painful.

— Henry Barbour, a Republican National Committeeman from Mississippi.

operation aimed at turning out the general election voters who catapulted Barack Obama to the White House.

The GOP’s challenges were on display Monday, as bickering continued among campaigns about upcoming debates. That’s an issue the GOP thought it had resolved, having spent years retooling its primary process after officials said it left 2012 nominee Mitt Romney bloodied heading into the general election.

Members of both parties say the GOP’s White House hopefuls also have ignored the recommendation from the RNC’s self-study that insisted Republicans must improve the party’s appeal among women and minorities.

“Devastatingly, we have lost the ability to be persuasive with, or welcoming to, those who do not agree with us on every issue,” the report found.

In addition to an improved tone, the RNC outlined a single policy imperative: “We must embrace and champion comprehensive immigration reform. If we do not, our party’s

appeal will continue to shrink to its core constituencies only.”

After a bipartisan group of senators failed to turn immigration legislation into law, Republicans on the campaign trail — including those involved with that effort — have moved sharply in the other direction. Almost the entire GOP field now calls first and foremost for increased security along the Mexican border.

Some, including front-runner Donald Trump, want to deport the estimated 11 million immigrants in the country illegally.

Incoming House Speaker Paul Ryan said over the weekend there would be no immigration bill until 2017, at the earliest. But Trump, who has infuriated Latinos by describing Mexican immigrants as rapists and criminals, keeps the topic front-and-center in the race.

“There have been moments that have been a little painful,” says Henry Barbour, an author of the RNC’s postelection report and a Republican National Committeeman from

Mississippi. “We have to nominate a candidate who can win — someone who can grow our party instead of making it smaller.”

Absent a clear front-runner of their own, Republicans are trying to rally around their opposition to Clinton — amid signs that she’s getting stronger.

Commanding performances in the first primary debate and during 11 hours of testimony before a Republican-led congressional committee reassured many Democrats who’d feared the controversy over her use of a private email server as secretary of state could harm her campaign.

Her poll numbers have rebounded from a summer slump, and she now holds a wide lead nationally over Vermont independent Sen. Bernie Sanders.

The relatively clear Democratic field has allowed her team to focus a full year before Election Day on building the kind of operation that can carry her beyond the primary contests.

Fundraising reports show an energized Democratic Party, with Clinton and Sanders together raising only slightly less than 15 candidates on the Republican side combined.

The two top Democrats had roughly the same amount in the bank at the beginning of October as all the Republicans.

President Barack Obama on Monday signed into law a bipartisan budget bill that avoids a catastrophic U.S. default and puts off the next round of fighting over federal spending and debt until after next year’s presidential and congressional elections. The two-year agreement funds the government through the 2017 fiscal year.

N.Y.: Whites’ death rates The U.S. death rate has been falling for decades, but researchers have detected one group in which the rates have been steadily ticking up — middleaged white people. Suicides and deaths from drug overdose and alcohol abuse are being blamed. Deaths rates for other races have continued to fall, as they have for whites 65 and older. But while death rates for whites 35 to 44 have been level recently, they’re beginning to turn up for whites 55 to 64, and — most strikingly — death rates for whites ages 45 to 54 have risen by half a percent per year since 1998, said the authors, Anne Case and Angus Deaton of Princeton University. The increase started in the late 1990s and probably is related to the increased availability around that time of certain prescription painkillers, they said. Their paper was published online Monday by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

AROUND THE WORLD Vatican City: Leak arrests The Vatican said Monday it had arrested a high-ranking priest and another member of a papal reform commission on suspicion of leaking confidential documents. The arrests of two advisers — Monsignor Lucio Angel Vallejo Balda, a Spaniard, and Francesca Chaouqui, an Italian public relations executive — hand-picked

by Francis to help overhaul Vatican finances threatened to further expose rifts surrounding Pope Francis’ efforts at reform.

S. Korea: Sex slave issue The leaders of South Korea and Japan resumed formal talks Monday after a 3½-year freeze and agreed to try to resolve the decades-old issue of Korean women forced into Japanese militaryrun brothels during World War II. The agreement is a step forward but not a breakthrough. Seoul believes Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe seeks to obscure Japan’s brutal colonial rule of the Korean Peninsula in 1910-1945.

Romania: Clubs ‘reckless’ Three Romanian nightclubs on Monday acknowledged they had been reckless and failed to respect safety standards, apologizing to clients and promising to either close or upgrade safety at their venues. Fire engulfed Colectiv, a basement club in Bucharest during a rock concert Friday night, killing at least 31 people. Andrei Sosa, who owns the club Expirat, announced the permanent closure of his Bucharest club, which has only one exit door.

“I apologize and I take responsibility.

From 2003 I have put the lives of thousands in danger” he said.

Congo: Adoptions approved The government cleared the way Monday for dozens of children to join their adoptive families abroad after more than two years of waiting, though another 1,000 others will have to remain in orphanages for now. Fourteen of the children are now headed to the United States. Authorities in Congo put a halt to international adoptions in 2013, saying their adoption system was beset by corruption and falsified documents.

China unveils homegrown jetliner

By Paul Traynor Associated Press

SHANGHAI — A state-owned manufacturer Monday unveiled the first plane produced by a Chinese initiative to compete in the market for large passenger jetliners.

China is one of the biggest aviation markets but relies on Boeing and Airbus aircraft. The multibillion-dollar effort to create the homegrown C919 jetliner is aimed at clawing back some of the commercial benefits that flow to foreign suppliers.

The Commercial Aircraft Corp. of China showed off the first of the twin-engine planes in a ceremony attended by some 4,000 government officials and other guests at a hangar near Shanghai’s Pudong International Airport.

“It’s a major push for the country, as they want to be known as a major player” in airplane manufacturing, said Mavis Toh, Asia air transport editor for Flightglobal magazine.

The C919 is one of several initiatives launched by the ruling Communist Party to transform China from the world’s low-cost factory into a creator of profitable technology in aviation, clean energy and other fields.

The C919, which can seat up to 168 passengers, is meant to compete with Airbus Industrie’s A320 and the Boeing Co.’s 737 singleaisle jets.

Its manufacturer, known as COMAC, says it has received orders from 21 customers for a total of 517 aircraft, mostly from Chinese carriers but also from GE Capital Aviation Services.

state-owned company also has developed a smaller regional jet, the ARJ-21, to compete in the market dominated by Brazil’s Embraer and Canada’s Bombardier. The first two ARJ-21s were delivered last year to a Chinese airline.

Most of the C919’s critical systems including engines and avionics are being supplied by Western companies or foreignChinese joint ventures.

Boeing forecasts China’s total demand for civilian jetliners over the next two decades at 5,580 planes worth a total of $780 billion.

China’s major airlines are state-owned, which gives the Communist Party a captive pool

of potential customers that can be ordered to buy the C919.

“China offers a terrific market, superb engineering talent and reasonably low costs.

Developing a national aircraft industry makes a lot of sense,” said Richard Aboulafia, vice president for analysis of Teal Group Corp., an industry consultant, in a report in July.

However, the C919 is hampered by official requirements that its manufacturer favor components produced in China, unlike competitors who source parts globally, according to Aboulafia.

“This means Western suppliers need to give away technology to play on this jet,” said Aboulafia.

“It also means that this aircraft is designed by people whose hands have been tied.”

Development of the C919 began in 2008. Plans called for a first flight in 2014 and for it to enter service in 2016, but those targets faced production delays.

The C919 now is due to fly next year and enter service in about 2019.

One of the biggest components, the core processing and display system, is being supplied by a joint venture between GE Aviation Systems and AVIC, a state-owned Chinese military contractor.

Other suppliers include Honeywell, Rockwell Collins and Hamilton Sunstrand.

Delay sought in review of Keystone pipeline

By Rob Gillies Associated Press

TORONTO — TransCanada, the company behind the controversial Keystone XL pipeline from Canada to the U.S Gulf Coast, has asked the U.S. State Department to pause its review of the project.

TransCanada said Monday it had sent a letter to Secretary of State John Kerry requesting that the State Department suspend its review of the pipeline application. The pipeline company said such a suspension would be appropriate while it works with Nebraska authorities for approval of its preferred route through the state that is facing legal challenges in state courts.

The move comes as the Obama administration was widely expected to reject the pipeline permit application.

“We have just received TransCanada’s letter to Secretary Kerry and are reviewing it. In the meantime, consideration under the Executive Order continues,” State Department spokeswoman Elizabeth Trudeau said.

The White House declined to comment, referring all questions

to the State Department.

The State Department review is mandated as part of the application process because the pipeline crosses an international border.

The State Department does not have to grant TransCanada’s request for a pause in the review process and instead can continue the review process.

Ahead of TransCanada’s announcement Monday, White

House spokesman Josh Earnest said President Barack Obama intended to make a decision on the pipeline before his presidency ends in January 2017, although he declined to elaborate on the timeline.

Hillary Rodham Clinton and her main challengers for the Democratic nomination are already on record as opposing it. All of the leading Republican

presidential candidates support the pipeline.

Some pipeline opponents contend that TransCanada hopes to delay the review process in hopes that a more sympathetic Republican administration will move into the White House in 2017.

For seven years, the fate of the 1,179-mile-long pipeline has languished amid debates over climate change and the intensive process of extracting Alberta’s oil and U.S. energy security The Canada-to-Texas pipeline has long been a flashpoint in the U.S. debate over climate change.

Critics oppose the concept of tapping the Alberta oil sands, saying it requires huge amounts of energy and water and increases greenhouse gas emissions. They also express concern that pipeline leaks could potentially pollute underground aquifers that are a critical source of water to farmers on the Great Plains.

Jane Kleeb, executive director of the group Bold Nebraska, which opposes the pipeline project, said, “The route in Nebraska has been uncertain for years, See PIPELINE, Page A14

New cheating allegations against VW WASHINGTON — Volkswagen cheated a second time on emissions tests, programming about 10,000 cars with larger diesel engines to emit fewer pollutants during tests than in real-world driving, according to the U.S. government.

The latest charges follow VW’s admission in September that it rigged emissions tests for four-cylinder diesel engines on 11 million cars worldwide.

The company says no software was installed in the six-cylinder diesel engines that would change the emissions values “in any impermissible way.”

Visa buys Visa Europe Payment processing giant Visa announced plans Monday to buy its sister company, Visa Europe, in a deal that could be worth more than $23 billion and would consolidate Visa’s operations worldwide.

The two companies have more than 2.9 billion cards issued on its combined network, processing roughly 88 billion individual transactions a year.

Debt collection suit One of the nation’s largest banks will pay $100 million to settle a California lawsuit alleging it used illegal methods to collect debts from more than 125,000 credit card holders, the state’s attorney general announced Monday. JPMorgan Chase & Co. will pay an estimated $10 million to consumers in California as part of a previously announced $50 million national agreement, and will pay another $50 million in penalties to the state to settle a 2013 lawsuit.

Gateway co-founder Mike Hammond dies Mike Hammond, who cofounded computer maker Gateway in an Iowa farmhouse in 1985 and helped turn it into an American success story by shipping PCs straight to customers in boxes with a spotted-cow design, has died at age 53. Hammond died Thursday at his home in Sioux City, Iowa, a funeral director said Monday. Hammond started Gateway Inc. with brothers Ted and Norm Waitt, selling what became among the most popular computers on the market. The success was short-lived, though, in the fast-changing industry.

Expanded safety rating The government is adding automatic braking to its five-star safety rating system designed to help consumers identify the most important safety technologies to look for in new cars. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said automatic braking will be added to the ratings beginning with 2018 model cars. The agency said in September that it had reached voluntary agreements with 10 automakers to include the technology as standard in new cars, but offered no timeline.

The systems use sensors to warn of an imminent collision and, if the driver does not apply the brakes, engage the brakes automatically.

University, and Shaefer is an associate professor at the University of Michigan.

This book asks: “Can you handle the truth?”

Edin and Shaefer set out to learn about the people behind the extreme poverty statistics. They wanted to know: ■ What has caused the rise in $2-a-day poverty among households with children?

■ Did the landmark welfare reform of 1996 make things worse for the poor?

■ What’s the result of a low-wage labor market where people can’t make enough to meet even their most basic of needs?

In the world’s wealthiest nations, there are “households with children living in poverty so deep that most Americans don’t believe it even exists in this country,” they write.

So they make us see.

Sandwiched between historical lessons on welfare and the reform that led to new safety-net programs are the stories of how families live on such a small amount. These profiles illuminate both good and bad public policies on poverty.

The authors interviewed

the only difference now is TransCanada knows they are about to have their permit rejected so they are scrambling. President Obama can end all of this uncertainty with a stroke of a pen.

families in Chicago, rural communities in the Mississippi Delta, Cleveland and Johnson City, Tennessee.

They spent months and, in some cases, years following the families’ plight.

We’re introduced to Tabitha from the Delta. At 11, she was “small-boned and thin to the point of emaciation.” She was asked what it feels like to be hungry.

“Well, actually, it feels like you want to be dead,” she said. “Because it’s peaceful being dead.”

Tabitha said that, in 10th grade, a teacher lured her into an illicit sexual relationship by offering food. What she went through from hungry years to homelessness is heartbreaking.

Jennifer in Chicago finally was able to move out of a shelter with her two children. After applying for more than 100 positions over a 10-month period, she landed a cleaning job. She got subsidized housing. But she often had to clean musty foreclosed properties where the heat had been turned off.

Because she has asthma, she would get sick. Her hours were cut because of

her absences. Finally she couldn’t hold on to the job.

Contrary to the criticism that the poor are lazy, Edin and Shaefer found people who don’t want a handout.

They just wanted to work.

And many do.

“Yet even when working full time, these jobs often fail to lift a family above the poverty line,” the authors write.

The narratives give context to the complexity of how people end up living on almost nothing. They often come from situations of sexual or physical abuse, addiction or parental abandonment. And yes, their stories are rife with bad decisions that keep them down.

Shaming people in need doesn’t work.

The solution lies in both public and private intervention, Edin and Shaefer write. It requires personal responsibility but also jobs in which people can make a living wage. And we need more affordable housing options.

I was moved and ashamed that I’m not doing more. This book is a call to action for all of us to look at our nation’s antipoverty policies, because clearly the safety net isn’t catching enough people. (c) 2015, Washington Post Writers Group

spokesman for Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts, but there was no response.

Pipeline supporters maintain it will create jobs and boost energy independence.

They also say pipelines are a safer method of transporting oil than trains, pointing to recent cases of oil train derailments.

North Dakota Sen. John Hoeven, a Republican, said it was “unfortunate” that TransCanada “has been forced to delay the project further.”

He said it’s “clear” that Obama intends to deny the pipeline permit, which

he claimed would have “a chilling effect on the willingness of other companies to invest in important energy infrastructure projects in the United States.”

Delays in approving the pipeline have caused friction between the U.S. and the outgoing Canadian Conservative government of Prime Minister Stephen Harper and have damaged U.S-Canada relations.

Although incoming Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who is sworn in Wednesday, supports Keystone, he argues relations with the U.S. should not hinge on the project.

IN OUR VIEW | The Opportunity Index

Vote for a better Washington Regardless of the outsized attention that the presidential election draws, your vote matters as much if not more in local and state elections, this year determining who represents you on city councils, school boards, fire districts and more and next year as you elect legislators and other state officials.

So, allow us one more reminder to mark and get your ballots in by 8 tonight if you haven’t already. Not to be scolds, but judging by the ballots returned thus far, there are still plenty who haven’t.

As of Monday afternoon only 19 percent of registered voters statewide had returned their ballots and only 14.3 percent in Snohomish County had done so.

Here’s where your vote ultimately can have an influence: Opportunity Washington, a joint project of the Association of Washington Business, Washington Roundtable, Washington Research Council and Enterprise Washington, has released the fall update of its Opportunity Index, Washington state’s rankings against the other 49 states in regard to education, transportation and economic climate.

Where we rank To review Washington state’s performance on the Opportunity Index and find out which states made the top 10 — and the bottom 10 — go to opportunitywa.org.

Although focused on the Evergreen State, the index ranks all 50 states using data from public and private sources. The index, launched earlier this year, assigns the 10th-ranked state a score of 100 and sets the median at 75.

Washington state, according to the index, combing scores for the three areas, ranks just above the median with a score of 79 and a ranking of 24.

It’s highest score, 82 for education, ranks it 18th and is based on the performance for fourth-grade reading, eighthgrade math and number of associate’s degrees earned.

Holding back the score were the high school graduation rate, which is 40th in the nation, and our bottom-half ranking for number of bachelor’s and advance degrees issued to residents.

For its economic climate the state scored 78 with a ranking of 23, helped by strong private sector research and development, entrepreneurial activity and low energy costs but dragged down by higher than average businesses costs from taxes and unemployment insurance.

Transportation is where the state suffers most, scoring only 48 and ranking 38th, based on poor commute times and road and bridge quality.

Having set a baseline this year, the index can now be used to measure how well our decisions move those three needles.

With the Legislature having passed a $16.1 billion transportation package this summer, $670 million of which will be spent in Snohomish County, we should expect to see gradual improvement for that area, particularly if Congress is soon able to pass a six-year highway spending bill now under consideration.

The passage of the state transportation package is proof that officials, with some public pressure, can make positive changes. And it also shows how the index might best be used.

Steve Mullin, president of Washington Roundtable, said the index is meant to inform public policy rather than suggest specific legislation.

His group and others put an emphasis on transportation issues this year. In the coming legislation session, the focus will certainly be on resolving education funding issues as the state continues to rack up $100,000-a-day fines for failing to meet its obligations under the state Supreme Court’s McCleary mandate.

The state’s education ranking will improve as it better prepares students to graduate who are ready for college and career. Not every graduate has to go to college, but those who are ready for college will have the skills they need for today’s careers. And those skills are especially important as Boeing and other employers look to hire new employees as current employees enter retirement, Mullin said.

The state’s rankings in those three areas — education, transportation and economic climate — are something to consider, not just by elected officials, but also for voters as they choose our elected officials.

■■VOLUNTEERISM

in spite of the statement by the clinic that all will be “transparent” to patients. These lawsuits have hurt the DaVita bottom line as noted in the article.

What will all this do to the Everett Clinic? The motives of the clinic administration are apparently more money for expansion, but at what price?

Is it “need” or “greed,” “patient” or “profit”?

As a previous letter writer advised, “bigger is not always or necessarily better.” In this case bigger and corrupt is absolutely not better.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■MILITARY

All-volunteer problematic Now that we’ve admitted to ourselves that we have ground troops committed in Iraq, I notice that certain words and phrases are being used more often. One, repeated by some politicians and even some servicemen, is the phrase that they are “proudly fighting to protect the homeland.” I don’t doubt their sincerity.

It seems to me, though, that defense of the homeland is everybody’s responsibility, and anyone who would not help out is a slacker, or worse. Yet, the politicians and servicemen never seem to express any resentment toward those of us who live it up at home, and let them do our fighting for us.

If the homeland were truly in danger, we would draft all able-bodied men to go and fight. But we all know if that were to happen, our war would come to a screeching halt.

We all agree that our war must be pursued, even though we are unable to bring our full power to bear against the terrorists. The problem is: How can we keep a credible army in the field for an indefinite period without mobilizing the entire nation?

I suggest that we create a relatively small professional force, composed of a separate class of highly trained and motivated patriots. We can send each of these soldiers to fight over and over again until they are rendered unfit for service. Then we can discharge them, and replace them with others.

Oh, wait. We’re doing that already.

Charles DeBruler Everett

■■MASS SHOOTINGS

Much blame belongs to media My heart goes out to the victims and the families of the recent Oregon school shooting. When something like this happens, the first thing everyone wants is stricter gun control, with the exception of outlawing guns altogether, and confiscation everyone’s guns, which didn’t work too well for the Germans. The shooter was not known to have a mental issue; he was of age and bought the guns legally,

What the investigation did reveal was that he had studied recent mass shootings. If you haven’t noticed most school shooters have either committed suicide or suicide by cop, they never have an exit plan that keeps them alive.

I put a lot of the blame for mass shootings on the news media; they have it on the news for weeks following the shooting. They keep talking about the shooter and the incident, to people on the edge that is glorifying the event and the person responsible. It gives them their moment of glory. Maybe another solution would be to have a modified profiling program to identify possible mass shooters; oh, I forgot we can’t do that because it might violate someone’s rights, hmm.

A few years ago at MLB games you could see streakers run across the field and the cameras would follow them on the field, now they divert the cameras and don’t talk about it. Since they quit glorifying it you very seldom hear of it happening.

John Graham Lynnwood

Language tutor real inspiration Regarding the Sept. 18 article, “Volunteer practices English with people from other countries”: A lot of people in this country believe that if you live in this country, you should be able to read and write in English. I also agree with that.

Instead of just spouting out those words, Saul Snatsky, a volunteer, yet, is doing all he can to make this happen. He spends his own time practicing English with people from other countries. I say it is a job well done and I would like to thank Mr. Snatsky for caring enough to get involved and do what he can do to help, rather than complaining about it. That is how we get things done.

DaVita lawsuits are troubling According to a recent article in the Denver Post, DaVita Corp. has settled a $495 million “whistle-blower” lawsuit.

More than one case of Medicare fraud has been brought against this company, as outlined in the article. This is the company that the Everett Clinic proposes to link up with in a merger. DaVita operates in 11 countries, including in the U.S., and employs 67,000 people.

The more I hear and read the less I like, or approve of, this deal proposed by Everett Clinic.

When and if this deal happens, members of the clinic will be a part of this organization also,

■■SHOOTINGS

Purse search at theater wrong My wife and I are retired and enjoy matinee movies. A few weeks ago we went to Marysville Regal Theatre to see an early movie. The ticket taker waved his hand toward my wife’s purse and said it had to be searched. He didn’t ask, he was completely intrusive in his manner. Her purse is about 10 inches by 6 inches and after she opened it for his inspection, he dug through it. The matinees during the week generally have older retired people that I doubt are on any watch list. If this is the answer to keep everyone safe from theater shootings, then no one is safe, stay home.

People give up freedom easily in the name of safety, where little or no threat exist. We will not return to Marysville theater, so they will be safe from my money. What’s next? Strip searches at the theater?

Panelists were rude; questions were legitimate

T

he Republican debates have been a disaster for some candidates, a boon for others and an uninspiring spectacle for the nation to witness. But don’t blame it all on the moderators.

Not that the questioners are blameless, mind you. It’s true that some of the queries at last week’s CNBC encounter seemed designed to provoke rather than elucidate.

Ted Cruz’s memorable characteriza- EUGENE ROBINSON tion of the questions sounded like a parody: “Donald Trump, are you a comic-book villain? Ben Carson, can you do math? John Kasich, will you insult two people over here?

Marco Rubio, why don’t you resign? Jeb Bush, why have your numbers fallen?”

But the moderators, using different words, really did ask those things.

They weren’t crazy questions, though, even if they should have been framed in a less confrontational way.

Trump was asked about the central argument of his candidacy, which is that his brains, energy and competence would allow him to accomplish improbable feats such as building a wall along the southern border and making Mexico pay for it, deporting 11 million illegal immigrants and cutting taxes without increasing the deficit. “Is this a comic-book version of a presidential campaign?” was not the best way to phrase it, but the question was certainly germane.

Carson was asked about math because his proposal for a flat income tax of around 15 percent doesn’t come close to adding up. Kasich was asked his opinion of front-runners Trump and Carson because he had begun the evening with an unprompted attack on the two outsiders as unqualified to be president.

Rubio was asked to respond to an editorial in Florida’s Sun Sentinel newspaper that cited his absenteeism from Senate floor votes and called on him to resign his seat.

The paper’s stance was “evidence of the bias that exists in the American media today,” he said, omitting the fact that the Sun Sentinel endorsed him in his 2010 Senate race.

As for Bush’s anemic poll numbers, the fact is that he was once considered a favorite to win the nomination. The plan was for a “shock and awe” campaign that would overwhelm the field. So far, it has fizzled.

An argument could be made that such horse-race questions are a waste of valuable air time. But the other lines of inquiry that Cruz blasted were substantive and legitimate — and made the candidates uncomfortable. Time to put an end to that.

Representatives from all the campaigns except that of Carly Fiorina met at an Alexandria, Virginia, hotel Sunday night to try to wrest control of future debates from the television networks and the Republican National Committee. The meeting was the brainchild of Carson, who is running a strong second to Trump in national polls and leading him in Iowa. After Trump’s campaign joined in calling for the summit, the others had no choice but to come along.

Carson’s original idea was apparently to have all candidates onstage and for each to give a five-minute opening statement.

This would take well over an hour and turn a “debate” into a string of little stump speeches. The fact that television executives would never agree to such terms did not bother Carson’s advisers, who have suggested that the debates be streamed on the Internet instead.

Republican attorney and powerbroker Ben Ginsberg chaired the meeting. Ginsberg suggested the hosts be required to make a long list of promises, including not to “ask the candidates to raise their hands to answer a question.”

The RNC decided last week to “suspend” a planned February debate to be hosted by NBC News — CNBC’s parent network — and Telemundo. Bush’s representative reportedly argued that the party should not turn its back on the only Spanish-language network scheduled to participate in a debate. According to Washington Post reporter Dave Weigel, quoting an attendee, Trump’s campaign manager shot back that if Telemundo were included, “Trump walks.” Sources later told The Post that Trump had decided to negotiate with the networks on his own, thank you very much.

In past cycles, the RNC was the final arbiter. But the party is in chaos and the candidates, led by Trump and Carson, are driving the bus. We’ll face down Vladimir Putin and the leaders of Iran, the contenders all say, but somebody save us from reporters asking rude questions.

Trail

Sky to Sound water trail map

From Page A3

“A lot of what we’re doing is helping tell the stories of these towns,” said Bennett, a former Monroe Chamber of Commerce director. “A water trail is like a scenic byway. It tells you what you’re looking at and why you care.”

The Skykomish River is among Washington’s most popular waterways for paddle boaters, with at least 10,000 users a year, said Thomas O’Keefe, of American Whitewater, a national nonprofit conservation group. It is internationally popular for nonmotorized, paddle-powered boats, such as kayaks, rafts and canoes.

“This is an amazing waterway.

It’s known the world over,” Bennett said.

Blair Corson is the owner of the Outdoor Adventure Center, a river tour operator in Index.

He said the plan will help people understand the level of difficulty of different parts of the river.

That will help eliminate safety issues, such as people running into whitewater when they aren’t expecting it, he said.

Now, information about the water and surrounding areas is hard to come by. That makes planning, especially for multi-day trips, difficult, Corson said.

The water trail will encourage people to use Snohomish County recreation sites along the river.

environmental themes, from Salish Sea orcas to beach safety.

Ruff also showed a time-lapse video of the levee breach and subsequent flooding over several days’ time.

Other signs of change in Qwuloolt include a gradual dying off of invasive reed canary grass and its population of rodents.

Much of Ruff’s talk was devoted to the importance of estuary restoration in general, with Qwuloolt providing the most recent

SNOHOMISH COUNTY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIVISION AND PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT

“It’s what connects a good half of the towns in our county, so being able to work on this project is epic,” Corson said.

Snohomish County Parks Director Tom Teigen said creating a water trail map has been on the wish list for at least two decades.

The county is now able to start working on it thanks to a federal grant awarded in October. It pays for one year of guidance from Sue Abbott, an author and Seattlebased National Park Service

employee who has worked on similar outdoors projects across the Northwest.

She will work with landowners along the trail and a 18-member steering committee that includes cities, state agencies, tribes, businesses, nonprofits, outdoor organizations and conservation groups.

Planners also will work alongside Forterra, a nonprofit that is working on a biking and hiking trail that follows the Great

Northern Railroad from Everett to Wenatchee.

Abbott is expected to lead public meetings that have yet to be scheduled. The county can apply to continue her services, worth an estimated $25,000 a year, in 2017.

The county’s cost of planning is staff time for parks employees and Bennett, whose position is paid for with lodging tax dollars. Additional money may be needed for maps and a website but those expenses haven’t been

calculated, Bennett said.

Once the water trail plan is adopted, she believes it’ll be easier to get grant money to develop it, build new amenities along the river and gain national recognition. The map could also open doors for future environmentallyfriendly development of the area’s natural assets.

In the future, the county hopes to replicate the Sky to Sound water trail in other spots such as the Stillaguamish Valley.

example of work to restore salt marshes to the river deltas.

Estuaries provide habitat for juvenile salmon, where they can feed and grow until they head out to sea.

Over the past century, Ruff said, more than 80 percent of historic habitat has been lost to development.

Even after the start of the environmental movement in the 1970s, populations of the nine species of anadromous fish in the basin continued to decline through the early 2000s.

Add to that the continuing effects of environmental change, including more fall floods that

harm young fish, and lower summer water flows that keep returns down, and it’s an uphill climb to try to encourage the growth of anything approaching historical returns.

“Our scale is pretty heavily tipped. It’s a challenging place to be if you’re a small fish,” Ruff said.

The ultimate goal outlined in the county’s Snohomish River Basin Salmon Conservation Plan is to bring the population back up to 80 percent of its historic numbers through a combination of habitat protection, restoration, and smart harvesting and hatchery operations.

This is happening at a time

when the population of the Puget Sound region is expected to grow to 5 million by 2040, with all the necessary attendant infrastructure, said Erika Harris, a planner with the Puget Sound Regional Council, who also was speaking at Sound Living.

Continued development has led to low stream flows, increased water temperatures, degraded quality of freshwater and sediment — all the things habitat restoration is intended to counteract. “This paints a pretty gloomy picture when we know the region is going to continue to grow,” Harris said.

The Qwuloolt Estuary is one of three large restoration projects

in the Snohomish River basin that are part of the Puget Sound Partnership’s plan to restore 7,380 acres of tidelands by 2020.

In addition to the 315 acres of estuary in Qwuloolt, Snohomish County plans to restore 350 acres on Smith Island and the Port of Everett’s Blue Heron Slough project is transforming a similar-size tract on what used to be Biringer Farm next to I-5.

It’s taken the Tulalip Tribes 20 years and $20 million in funds to get the Qwuloolt Estuary to where it is today. Scientists will continue to monitor the new tidal marsh as it continues to return to its natural state.

UNITED WAY OF SNOHOMISH COUNTY

Celebrating 75 Years!

W

hen the United Way of Snohomish County formed in 1940, the goal was to build an organization that could help make the community a better place.

Now, 75 years later, that goal remains the same – but new technology is helping push the message out and empower people to make positive changes in their communities.

As part of the organization’s 75th anniversary campaign, United Way staff and volunteers developed a list of 75 ways to live united – small things people can do to show they’re thinking of others, said Jacqui Campbell, the director of marketing and communications at the United Way of Snohomish County.

“It just shows that together we can all make a difference,” she said.

The list includes actions like saying good morning, waving to your neighbor, picking up litter and holding the door open for others.

The United Way of Snohomish County has posted one idea from the list to its Facebook page

“When one person shares what they are doing to help the community, it encourages others.

Everyone can be a part of this!”

Jacqui Campbell — Director of Marketing and Communications

With a culture that promotes community service as a company-wide value, it’s clear to see why UPS and its employees harness their collective effort in ways to make a real difference in communities across the globe, and here in the northwest district. In 2014, the Northwest District demonstrated that commitment with a campaign that was the most successful in district history. Last year, UPSers in the Northwest District contributed a record $2.2 million to local United Way’s during the campaign pledge drive.

suggestion will be posted Nov. 8, the organization’s 75th birthday.

“It’s just a simple way to encourage our Facebook users to get involved with us,” Campbell said. “We are encouraging people to comment on what they’re doing and to post not only on United Way’s Facebook page but on their own page.”

The campaign uses other social media platforms, including Twitter and Instagram.

“We all know that individual people’s sphere of influence is greater than just a corporate sphere of influence,” Campbell said. “By getting people out there and individually sharing what they’re doing reinforces that this is something that everyone in our community can be a part of.”

UPS and United Way have a long, wonderful history together. For more than 33 years, the UPS and United Way partnership has been a commitment to the communities where they live and work. Through the partnership, UPS has contributed well over $1 billion to United Way, making UPS one of United Way’s most committed and effective partners.

This year, across the country and locally, UPS supervisors are asked to encourage their team to continue to give and even increase their gift.

Operations Supervisor with Arlington UPS, Brian Quantrille, knows that drivers’ appearance is important as it’s what the customer always sees. And a polished shoe is the perfect touch.

Brian decided to weave together United Way’s campaign and the UPS dress code. Brian offered his drivers a shoe shine if the driver increased their gift by $1 or more. Not only once would Brian shine your shoes, but he did it weekly for the entire length of the United Way Campaign!

Wow! What a difference this manager made

for UPS drivers and United Way. Kudos to Brian for creative thinking!

Book it: A tree’s next life

Everett woman has stumps of beloved cedars turned into whimsical little library

I

t all started when Sara Sanders’ beloved cedar took a turn for the worse.

It dropped a big honking limb onto Wetmore Avenue.

“It came down just before that big windstorm (in late August),” Sanders said. “It was time for it to go. The city sent me a letter that said ‘You must.’ ” Still, it was hard letting go.

“The tree meant a lot to me.

One of the reasons I bought the house 17 years ago was because of the tree,” Sanders said. “I wanted to be able to commemorate it in some way because it was a wonderful tree.”

What was once a 120-foot cedar is now a bear bearing books.

What’s up with that?

It’s the latest addition to the literary circle of Everett.

The stump of the 110-year-old tree on Wetmore near the corner of 35th Street was carved into one of the biggest little libraries around.

The tree actually consisted of five trees clustered together for more than a century. Sanders in recent years had to cut the branching structure of two trees due to rot and falling limbs.

She couldn’t bear to let the rest of it go.

Which brought up bears.

“I’ve been wanting to have a carving,” she said.

She thought the big stump near the sidewalk would also make a good place for a little library.

“I think many people are not reading anymore,” said Sanders, a dietary manager at Bethany at Silver Lake. “I think that it’s important.”

Enter Larry Carter.

The Lake Stevens carver offered to carve her stump in exchange for the wood.

“To me the wood is more valuable than money,” he said.

The timing was perfect. He took the wood to the Evergreen State Fair to share with other carvers.

“Everybody kind of dug in,” he said.

It took four utility trailers and a few pickups to haul all the wood to the fair, where it was turned into blue heron, fish, dogs, bears and flowers.

“About 50 to 60 pieces of varying sizes,” Carter said.

After the fair, he started on

Dan Bates / The Herald

Homeowner Sara Sanders got chain saw artist Larry Carter to take down and reuse the logs from some tightly grouped cedar trees, and leave behind a fanciful tree stump library, of sorts, at the corner of 35th Street and Wetmore Avenue in Everett.

?

What’s up with that

By Andrea Brown More: www.heraldnet.com/ whatsup.

Ideas? abrown@heraldnet.com, 425-339-3443 Sanders’ stump.

Carter has been carving since 1979.

“There is very little I haven’t tried,” he said.

But he’d never made a little

library. “That was Sara’s idea and I just ran with it,” he said.

“It was a two-day job that took five. It was almost like working at the fair there were so many people coming by.”

He encouraged it.

“I asked for input what they wanted to see,” he said. “That guy who is renting a unit (nearby), his name is Rocky. We discussed it. He said, ‘You gotta have a raccoon.’”

Carter made two raccoons and named one Rocky. The other is Rory.

Sanders named the big bear Charlie. A lady named the little

bear Chubs. The owl on top is Minerva and smaller one is Hoot.

“The mouse doesn’t have a name yet,” she said. “For me, anyway. Anybody can think of them whatever they want.”

Carter added a sign that says “Boo!” for Halloween. “I plan to periodically make up more signs and trade them out,” he said.

Sanders keeps an eye on Charlie the bear from her front window.

“It is better than I could have imagined. So many people stop.

They bring their kids by. One lady said she heard about it in her yoga class,” she said.

Sanders originally put out about a dozen books, including her favorite, mysteries. “I go out and check it out what kind of books are out there. People have picked up on it,” she said.

“My worry was that people might target it. I’m hoping that won’t happen.”

So far, Charlie has received only love pats.

“When kids come by on skateboards they jump up and pat the foot,” Sanders said.

There’s more to come for Charlie and friends.

“What I’d like to do now is figure out how to light it,” she said.

He was a mentor and a teacher of young men. I have always followed and used his famous Pyramid of Success. Or filmmaker Francois Truffaut. When I was 12 years old I saw his film “The 400 Blows” and immediately decided not to be an ornithologist but to become a filmmaker. Or John Lennon.

What do you like to do in your spare time?

Vegetable garden, cook, cycle and hike with my wife. Or play basketball while she swims.

What is your idea of happiness?

Spending quality time with my three adventuresome sons who gather together from their world travels once a year during December. We always carve out a 10-hour day for our annual “Father’s Day Olympics Decathlon.”

What are you wearing?

Black, Levi 501 straight-legged jeans and a purple shirt with button down collar. Same outfit for 25 years.

What is something people would be surprised to know about you?

During the Cold War I was the only person from the West allowed to attend the first USSR Animation Festival in Kiev, Ukraine. There I discovered a genius animator who lived on a farm in Leningrad and

painted his animation frame by frame with oil on glass. I emptied my small suitcase and carried his 35mm print to the Motion Picture Academy in Hollywood and qualified it for an Academy Award nomination. Also, I love to paint pictures of wild birds. When I was a child I wanted to be an ornithologist until, at the age of 12. I grew up near the world’s foremost ornithology department at Cornell University. I went there on the weekends to study and draw birds.

And I went to Woodstock.

What are your pet peeves?

Stellar jays who steal innocent eggs from the nests of other birds.

People talking during movies, parking a car across two spaces or throwing cigarette butts in storm drains, a slow Internet connection and Los Angelenos who can’t drive in the rain.

What is your guilty pleasure?

Sunday breakfast at Jake’s Cafe in Snohomish. Sitting outside with a view of the river while enjoying a fresh seafood platter at Andy’s Fish House in Snohomish. I could never eat the whole platter in one sitting.

Hubby not sure what unhappy wife wants

daily crossword

Adapted from a recent online discussion.

Dear Carolyn: My wife of 20-plus years says she isn’t getting emotional satisfaction from our relationship any longer and I have to do something about this. This has come as a great surprise to me, but I’m willing to admit, although I love her deeply, that our routine may be just that ... routine.

But will just changing our routine get her to emotional satisfaction?

Without a clearer understanding of it, I’m not sure what I am supposed to do, and I’ll do anything.

— Anonymous Well, she has to do something about this, too, because it’s a marriage and nothing will work unless it’s mutual.

The obvious recommendation is counseling, because “emotional satisfaction” is about intimacy, and being handed an edict to “do better!” is not exactly a path that will take you there.

Intimacy is about knowing yourselves and each other on a level not available to people outside the relationship, and that comes from many different kinds of sharing — sharing the workload of your daily lives, sharing yourselves physically, sharing memories, sharing what’s on your mind even when it’s not your proudest moment, sharing

CAROLyN HAx Tell me abouT iT your fears, sharing your vision of the future, sharing the sides of you that you know the other appreciates most, sharing freely, period.

It’s about feeling safe to share this way because you have each other’s backs.

If you two have gotten out of the habit of turning to each other in the course of your daily lives, then reminding yourself of how you used to share, and then making a conscious effort to make those same choices again, can bring you closer without outside help.

If you never really were in that habit, though, but instead built a relationship on the motions of and/ or appearance of couplehood, then you really might benefit from the guidance of a skilled therapist — or from a reputable seminar/retreat to nudge you onto that more intimate path.

Dear Carolyn: I have been dating a wonderful man for two years now. For the first year and a half he was separated but still married. I had nothing to do with their marriage not working out; they had been separated two years before we even met, living a state apart.

After a long and messy divorce, we can finally move on with our lives and recently got engaged! My family has known him from the beginning and they all adore him.

I am very close with my family and I didn’t like lying (by omission) — they all just assumed he was divorced.

Do I need to tell them the details before we get married? Or is this none of their business, and I can just let them keep assuming?

— Full Disclosure?

I can’t see why it’s any of their business. If it comes up in a way that would force you to deepen the lie — say, one of them refers scornfully to another couple’s dating while separated and commends you two for not doing that — then integrity demands that you correct their mistaken impression: “Actually, he finalized his divorce after we had started dating.” Otherwise let this sleeping dog lie on the bridge with water under it.

Turning over a new leaf means turning away bigots Dear Abby: My friendships have always included people of different races, religions, nationalities, sexual orientations, professions, etc. A few years ago, I had an experience that was both devastating and humbling on several different levels. It caused me to do a lot of introspection and self-improvement, which led to my becoming a more empathetic person.

Over the last few years, I have distanced myself from old friends and acquaintances who were racist, sexist, homophobic, etc. I have replaced them with new relationships with people who embrace diversity. Some of the people I no longer see ask me why we don’t talk or get together anymore. I don’t want to give them excuses like, “I’ve been too busy.”

How do I explain to them that I don’t enjoy associating with people who hold bigoted views? — OpenMinded In The Midwest Dear Open-Minded: Because you no longer wish to associate with them, why not just respond with the truth?

Say: “As you may know, I had an experience a few years ago that was lifechanging. It made me re-evaluate my life and my relationships, so I decided to ‘edit’ them down and spend more time with people who think the way I do about life.”

Dear Abby: I am a middle-aged man who lost my wife to cancer 2½ years ago. We had no children.

I’m now feeling very alone. I don’t seem to fit in anywhere. My old “guy” friends avoid me, and our married “couple” friends leave me out because I am not a couple anymore. I understand that, because they all do “couple” things.

DEAR ABBY But even my family seems to have set me aside.

When my wife was alive, we would be invited to my siblings’ homes for dinners during the holidays and other times. Now I often don’t even get a phone call.

There are times I feel like I have been cast off by everyone. Please help, Abby. — Lonely Kansan Dear Lonely Kansan: I’ll try. With most married couples, the wives are the ones who make the social plans. This may be why you aren’t hearing from your “couple” friends. Why your family would choose to exclude you at a time when you need them is something I can’t explain.

But they may tell you if you pick up the phone and talk to them about it.

Because you find you have time on your hands and no prospects, it’s time to establish yourself as an eligible single male.

Research singles groups in your area. Go online and put your profile on some of the singles sites.

Get involved in volunteer activities. Join a dance class, a yoga class, a gym.

There are plenty of women out there waiting to be found, but you won’t find any of them sitting home waiting for the phone to ring.

Snohomish native Wildrick earns acting award

CBS plans new ‘Star Trek’ for online subscribers only

By Gale Fiege Herald Writer

SEATTLE — Snohomish High School alumna and longtime professional performer Billie Wildrick was named Outstanding Actress in a Musical at the annual Gregory Awards ceremony Oct. 26 at McCaw Hall.

Wildrick won for her heartbreaking portrayal of Sally Bowles in the Village Theatre production of “Cabaret,” which played in Everett during July.

The Gregory Awards are the Puget Sound region’s version of Broadway’s Tony awards.

Administered by the nonprofit Theatre Puget Sound since 1998, the Gregory Awards honor the outstanding achievements of professional theaters in greater Seattle area. The award is named for the late Gregory Falls, a former chairman of the University of Washington drama department, who is generally credited with setting the stage for the region’s current vibrant theater scene.

Wildrick, a Broadway veteran, has had a busy year.

Along with “Cabaret,” she starred as the bubbly Carrie Pipperidge, the gal who’s in love with Mr. Snow, in the 5th Avenue Theatre’s production of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s “Carousel” in February.

She made her directorial debut with the production of “Jesus Christ Superstar” at Seattle Music Theatre in September. And earlier this month she opened a reprise run of “Sauced” at

Cafe Nordo.

In November, Wildrick is headed back to the Ordway Theater in St. Paul, Minnesota, where she takes on the role of Maria in “The Sound of Music.” This past Christmas, Wildrick played the mother in “A Christmas Story” at the Ordway.

Village’s “Cabaret” was directed by Pulitzer prize-winning and Tony award-winning playwright and lyricist Brian Yorkey.

He and composer Tom Kitt are perhaps best known for their musical “Next to Normal,” but also for the more recent Broadway production “If/Then.” The national touring show of “If/Then,” with Ida Menzel reprising her starring role, plays next week at Seattle’s Paramount.

Happy Birthday: You can make changes this year, but don’t do so for emotional reasons. Consider what will help you the most and calculate your costs mentally, physically and financially before you make a move. Your numbers are 1, 8, 22, 24, 31, 36, 42.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Do what you do best, and don’t give in to anyone trying to bully you. Not everyone will do things the same way you do. Your uniqueness will draw attention, resulting in greater recognition. A financial gain is within reach. ★★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Check out different cultures or philosophies that inspire you to be true to yourself and to use your skills and knowledge in a helpful and satisfying manner.

Make improvements that will boost your confidence. ★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Make your place more comfortable and inviting. Invest in the things that will benefit you. Don’t lend or donate to any individuals or organizations that use emotional tactics to guilt you into giving. ★★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Host a networking event or gathering that will encourage the people you work with to get to know you better. Your ability to put people at ease will lead to greater opportunities to work on interesting, attractive projects. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ll be anxious and emotional. Try not to get into a confrontation with someone you live with over matters that you cannot change. An unpredictable situation will occur that will lead to an abrupt but longoverdue change. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Revisit the past and you will find it much easier to move forward. Getting together with old friends will spark new interests in projects you had put

aside. Communication will be your strong point, so clear up any matters that require serious discussion. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Hidden matters will become apparent. Ask questions if you don’t fully understand something. Take whatever information you are given and turn it into something that can strengthen your position personally or professionally. Initiate change and walk away from chaos. ★★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Observe situations closely and you will come up with solutions to ongoing problems. Your insight will put you in a good position. Don’t let anyone limit what you can do. A creative imagination will help you outmaneuver people with stodgy attitudes. ★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Do your best to avoid controversy by keeping your thoughts to yourself. A moneymaking idea won’t turn out to be as good as you think.

Don’t let your emotions take over or lead to an impulsive decision. ★★★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Contracts, agreements, money and health matters can all be addressed and dealt with today. A discussion about future plans with someone you want to spend more time with will turn out well and lead to a proposal or commitment. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t believe everything you hear, especially if it involves money, health or a legal settlement. Someone will mislead you regarding his or her feelings.

Trusting someone else to do your job for you will lead to disappointment. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Generosity will be your downfall. Weigh the pros and cons of whatever situation you face before you make a commitment. Love will play a role in a decision you make. Make sure you are clear about the motives behind your choices. ★★★ Universal Uclick

Lockette has neck surgery

Seahawks wide receiver Ricardo Lockette, who was injured during Sunday’s game against the Cowboys, had successful surgery Monday at the Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas to stabilize ligament and disc damage in his neck. Lockette is out for the season.

The Seahawks’ Mike Morgan looks down at Ricardo Lockette after Lockette was injured in Sunday’s game against the Cowboys.

RENTON — Seattle Seahawks receiver Ricardo Lockette remains in a Dallas-area hospital after undergoing successful neck surgery Monday.

Lockette, who was injured during Seattle’s 13-12 victory over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, had surgery at the Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas to stabilize ligament and disc damage in his neck. The damage was sustained after he was knocked

unconscious on a hit from Dallas’ Jeff Heath toward the end of the first half.

“It’s serious,” Seattle head coach Pete Carroll said during his press conference Monday afternoon at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center, at which point Lockette was still undergoing surgery. “He’s got ligament issues and disc issues.

“I talked to his dad before surgery and he was in good spirits and all of that,” added Carroll, who described Lockette as comfortable. “We’ll help him get right

and turn the corner.”

Later in the evening the team released a statement saying: “Ricardo Lockette underwent successful neck surgery this afternoon at the Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas. He is expected to remain in the hospital for a few days for recovery. He will be up and moving around as early as tomorrow and his neurological signs are all positive.”

Lockette’s surgery lasted several hours. Carroll said Lockette, See SEAHAWKS, Page C4

Central Washington senior Linden Firethorne has helped lead the Wildcats to a 16-5 overall record this season.

High school to college: ‘whole other level’ Linden Firethorne, who played at South Whidbey, successfully made the transition from high school volleyball player to an All-Great Northwest Athletic Conference first-team selection for Central Washington.

By Rich Myhre Herald Writer

Academically speaking, the transition from high school to college is a major step for most students.

Athletically speaking, the change can be just as big.

So it was for volleyball player Linden Firethorne, a 2012 graduate of Langley’s South Whidbey High School. Recruited to play at

Central Washington University, she found a significant increase in the demands and expectations during her freshman season with the Wildcats.

“The (higher) level of intensity is there right away,” said Firethorne, speaking by telephone from Ellensburg. “Even as a freshman you’re supposed to jump into it and go at that pace, so that was kind of hard.

“I thought high school was

stressful, but here it’s a whole other level. It really is a job.

You have 6 a.m. weightlifting sessions and conditioning.

You do a lot of Linden stuff as a team. Firethorne And you’re kind of at the coaches’ beck and call the four years you’re here. If they

decide you’re going to have practice on Sunday for four hours, that’s what you do.

“It can definitely be overwhelming and really stressful, but ultimately my 20 best friends are on the team with me. So we still have fun, even if there are hard days.”

All the time and commitment has paid off in a big way for Firethorne, who switched to outside hitter at CWU after being mostly

a middle blocker in high school and club volleyball. After playing sparingly as a freshman and starting part-time as a sophomore, she became a full-time starter a year ago and played well enough to be chosen to the All-Great Northwest Athletic Conference first team while helping Central Washington to a third straight regional tournament appearance.

Huskies No. 1 in Pac-12 in scoring defense

By Christian Caple The News Tribune

SEATTLE — Chris Petersen has faced difficult questions this season about the Washington Huskies’ stop-and-start offense, for which progress has been frustratingly incremental.

He faces difficult questions about UW’s defense, too.

Like this one, on Monday: if someone had told him before the season started that the Huskies would lead the league in scoring defense after nine weeks, would he have believed it?

Hey, would you?

After Saturday’s 49-3 beating of the Arizona Wildcats, Washington now ranks 15th nationally in scoring defense (16.9 points

per game), 25th in yards per play allowed (4.79), 16th in yards per rush allowed (3.2), tied for 23rd in sacks per game (2.75), tied for 21st in tackles for loss per game (7.5), tied for 16th in interceptions per game (1.38) and tied for 18th in red-zone score percentage allowed (75.0).

Those numbers are made perhaps more remarkable when

considering how much UW lost from its fairly stout defense a year ago. Nose tackle Danny Shelton, linebacker Shaq Thompson, buck linebacker Hau’oli Kikaha and cornerback Marcus Peters were each selected in the first 44 picks of the NFL draft, and the Huskies also lost starting middle See HUSKIES, Page C6

The News Tribune

When Kansas City completed its magical postseason run Sunday, it triggered the start of baseball’s official offseason: Free agency started Monday at 6 a.m.

The Mariners saw three free agents come off their 40-man roster: right-handed pitcher Hisashi Iwakuma, outfielder Franklin Gutierrez and lefty reliever Joe Beimel.

Mariners general manager Jerry Dipoto previously identified the effort to retain Iwakuma, 34, as a “priority,” but the club also figures to show some interest in keeping Gutierrez and Beimel.

Iwakuma, though, is the key. If the Mariners keep him, they will still look for rotation help, but they can do their shopping more at the margins for a back-end alternative.

But if Iwakuma departs, the Mariners must find a suitable replacement for his 47-25 record and 3.17 ERA over the past four seasons. He also posted an 8.6 WAR (wins above replacement) rating from 2013-15.

Acquiring such pitchers is difficult and, when available, they aren’t cheap in terms of years or dollars (or in personnel if obtained in a trade). So it will be surprising if the Mariners don’t extend a qualifying offer to Iwakuma.

Let’s reset here to review how the free-agent procedure works.

Once the World Series ends, clubs still have a five-day exclusive negotiating window with their free agents before the player can sign elsewhere.

By the end of the fifth day, clubs must decide whether to tender qualifying offers to those players.

All qualifying offers are

uniform one-year guaranteed contracts with a dollar amount that is determined by averaging the salaries of the 125 highestpaid players.

That figure this year is $15.8 million (up from $15.3 million a year ago).

If a club extends a qualifying offer, it gets a compensatory draft pick next June if the player chooses to sign elsewhere. If a club does not tender a qualifying offer, it gets nothing.

If a player receives a qualifying offer, he has one week to determine whether to accept it.

No player has ever accepted a qualifying offer since the format began; all have chosen to test the free-agent market.

That is Iwakuma’s likely course.

Even so, it’s not unusual for a player to remain with his former club after rejecting a qualifying offer. Rejecting the offer simply permits a player to gauge his market value by talking to other clubs.

“I made a lot of friends here,”

Herald staff Shelby Mills of Gonzaga University, a 2012 graduate of Snohomish High School, placed first to lead the Bulldogs to the West Coast Conference cross country championship on Saturday at the Plantes Ferry Park in Spokane Valley.

“I’m very excited to represent the Mariners,” Peterson told MLB.com.

“Doing it two years in a row, I’m hoping I can get something more out of it. It’s great to get to interact with all the guys from other teams.”

Peterson, 23, was 0-for-2 in last year’s game and is currently mired in a 2-for-17 slump after a strong start for the Peoria Javelinas. He is 9-for25 (.257) overall in 10 games with two homers and eight RBI. Rollins, 25, is also seeking to close out a rocky season that included an 80-game suspension for failing a drug test in spring training. In five games for Peoria, he has allowed two runs and six hits in 51⁄3 innings.

The Mariners selected Rollins last December from Houston in the Rule 5 Draft. He was 0-2 with a 7.56 ERA in 20 big-league games after returning from his suspension.

Peterson was the Mariners’ firstround pick in 2013 and entered this season batting .297 in 2014 with 31 homers and 111 RBI. But he slumped badly this season while playing primarily at Double-A Jackson: hitting a .223 average with just seven homers and 44 RBI.

Iwakuma said late in the season. “We have a lot of good teammates. I feel like I have a relationship here. All I can do now is wait.”

Extending a qualifying offer also aids a club’s negotiating position because it raises the cost for other clubs — any club that signs a player who received a qualifying offer loses a high draft pick.

Effectively, that means another club must not only outbid the Mariners for Iwakuma — but it must out-bid them plus absorb the cost of losing a high draft pick.

This happens on occasion. The Mariners did just that in each of the last two years with Nelson Cruz and Robinson Cano.

‘There’s just no stopping her’ Edmonds-Woodway sophomore Yukino Parle leads a strong contingent of local girls into this weekend’s 3A state cross country championships

By Rich Myhre Herald Writer

EDMONDS — Because he has been a coach for many years, Edmonds-Woodway’s Al Bonney has developed a pretty good eye for running talent.

And in the fall of 2014, Bonney spotted something special in Yukino Parle, then a freshman on the Warriors cross country team.

Though she had been only a so-so runner in middle school — good, but not great — Parle’s potential jumped out at Bonney right away.

“I’ve been doing this for so long I can tell when a person is really going to be good, and I’m not usually wrong,” said Bonney, who has spent more than four decades in coaching, including a stint as the University of Washington’s head women’s coach in cross country and track and field in the 1970s and ’80s.

When he watched Parle run, what jumped out to Bonney “was how tremendously talented and gifted she is. And I knew how good she could be. So before track season (last spring) we sat down and I said, ‘You know what, if you get serious, you’re going to be really good.’ And as it’s turned out, she is really good.”

Parle took those words to heart and showed steady improvement throughout the track season. She qualified for state in the 3,200 meters at the District 1 championship meet, and in the process set an Edmonds-Woodway record of 11 minutes, 4.44 seconds. She went on to finish sixth at state the next week, and her time of 11:09.52 was the fastest for a Class 3A freshman girl at state and the second fastest for any freshman girl.

In cross country this fall Parle has not missed a step. Now a sophomore, she won the Western Conference South race Oct. 24, and at the district meet on Saturday she again placed first.

Even with all those accomplishments, Bonney said, “I think she

can ramp it up another step. I don’t see any limit on this girl, and that’s really the bottom line. …

There’s just no stopping her.”

A few years ago, Parle never really saw herself as a runner. She

was a soccer player back then and running, in part, was a way to get in shape. Even now, she said, “sometimes I miss soccer,” a sport she stopped playing in high school. “But I’m glad I chose running over soccer. I just enjoy running more.”

Parle is excited about her own success in running, but even more excited about her team’s potential heading into this weekend’s state meet in Pasco. “Our goal this year was to make it to state as a team,” she said, which the Warriors accomplished on Saturday with their second-place finish at district.

First place at district went to Glacier Peak with Mountlake Terrace finishing third. All three are headed to state and all three should contend for top places, perhaps even a state title.

Edmonds-Woodway is young — No. 2 runner Olivia Meader-Yetter is a freshman — “and as an oldcodger coach they drive me crazy,” Bonney said with a smile. “They’re always giggling and having fun.

They’re having a great ol’ time when I’m trying to get their attention to just get through stuff.

“But I think that’s what’s been so magical for them. It’s kind of like, ‘We’re going to do this and we’re going to have fun doing it.’ So it’s been really cool to see.”

Indeed, Bonney had thoughts of retirement in recent years, “but then these guys showed up and I thought, ‘I’ve got to push that off a little bit.’” With determination, hard work and, of course, some talent, “they’ve kind of taken people by surprise, including me,” he said.

Medical personnel were prepared when Seahawks’ Lockette was injured

By Barry Wilner Associated Press

The hard-hitting violence of the NFL certainly was on display Sunday. So was the quick work of medical responders, particularly in Dallas and New Orleans.

Frightening incidents involving Seahawks receiver Ricardo Lockette on special teams against Dallas, and Saints running back Khiry Robinson against the Giants, brought a hush to the two stadiums. They also brought into focus just how effective medical personnel can be in a critical time.

“I don’t think I’ve ever been part of something that scary,” Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson said after the game.

“We have a genuine care for each other and he’s our brother,” Saints rookie linebacker Stephone Anthony said. “Everybody had their hands reached out praying for him and praying he gets back.”

Lockette remained in the Dallas area — as did teammates Russell Okung and Marshawn Lynch — and had surgery to stabilize ligaments in his neck. The team said Lockette has full motion and feeling in all his extremities and a good prognosis.

Robinson broke his right leg when Giants defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins landed on top of him. He had surgery Sunday night and is done for the season.

Both injuries could have developed into something more dire had the trainers and doctors on hand not acted so expertly. In Lockette’s case,

Seahawks From Page C1

who also suffered a concussion on the play, is expected to remain in the hospital for about a week.

Teammates Russell Okung and Marshawn Lynch remained behind in Dallas to stay with Lockette while the rest of the team flew home following the game.

The Seahawks will place Lockette on injured reserve and Lockette will not play again this season. Carroll did not know how the injury would affect Lockette’s ability to play in the future.

Lockette is in his fourth season with the Seahawks.

Known primarily for his work on special teams on kickoff and punt coverage, Lockette had four receptions for 69 yards and one touchdown in Seattle’s first eight games this season.

Lockette was injured on the second-to-last play of the first half Sunday as he was part of Seattle’s punt coverage team. Lockette

he was running downfield on punt coverage and when he turned, he was hit by Dallas safety Jeff Heath.

Lockette immediately collapsed, unconscious, as medics reached him.

He was out for several moments and the attending personnel wisely didn’t rush things. At that point, the game becomes secondary.

After his face mask was removed from his helmet, Lockette was placed on a stretcher and loaded onto a motorized cart. He was talking while moving both hands, pointed his right hand toward his Seattle teammates on the sideline, and then thrust his index finger high into the air.

“We are highly trained, even though this type of injury does not happen very often, we drill these scenarios so that we are prepared for everything that might happen,” said Donald Rich, the Seahawks’ head athletic trainer. “Each and every person knows his or her role in the rescue, which allows us to be as efficient and coordinated as possible.

“When coming upon an athlete with a suspected head/neck or spine injury our first concerns are to evaluate the situation, establish basic vital signs ... and establish stabilization.

Once vitals are stable, maintaining spinal stabilization is the most critical component in order to minimize movement until the appropriate testing can be done to establish a stable spine and rule out risk of further injury.”

All of which was handled spot-on

was sprinting down the field at full speed, ushered by a Dallas defender, when Heath lined him up and hit him high on the chest.

Lockette was knocked straight backward and remained down on the turf, lying motionless on his side as the Seahawks’ medical staff raced onto the field to attend to him.

Lockette remained motionless for some time before eventually being immobilized and placed on a stretcher. He raised his right arm and put up his index finger while he was being wheeled off, drawing a cheer from the crowd.

It was later announced that Lockette had full motion in all of his limbs and had suffered a concussion. He was taken to a local hospital for precautionary reasons, where he remained overnight. It was eventually determined Lockette needed surgery.

A day later the Seahawks were still concerned about their teammate.

“Everybody was just really scared,” said Carroll, who expressed his

by Seahawks medical personnel, with help from their counterparts with the Cowboys.

The intensive care doesn’t end at the stadium, of course.

“Once he gets to the hospital, Ricardo has to go through a series of imaging including X-rays, CT scan and MRI to establish the severity of his injuries,” Rich added. “Once a diagnosis is made, a management plan can be put into place. The other members of the Dallas medical staff were instrumental in helping control the scene on the field and making sure that we had everything we needed to provide the best possible care to Ricardo.”

In total, nearly three dozen people attended to Lockette. Two Seahawks medical staff members, Michael Tankovich and CJ Neumann, stayed in Dallas, as well.

Robinson’s gruesome injury had several players on both sides looking away, nauseated. Teammates huddled around him and prayed as athletic trainers fitted his leg with an air cast before Robinson was driven off the field.

“When there’s an injury that takes place and they’re able to see the type of injury ... the first thought is just the amount of work that a guy like Khiry’s put in, and all of a sudden knowing that his season’s come to an end,” Saints coach Sean Payton said.

Not really. The first thought is to get him treated immediately and properly. Thankfully, in Big D and the Big Easy, that happened on Sunday.

gratitude to the medical staffs of both teams, the medical staff at the stadium, and the staff at Baylor University Medical Center for the care they provided to Lockette. “He’s one of the guys, and knowing he has to go through surgery is very personal to us. It’s a family feeling, and it’s like if somebody in your family gets sick or whatever, our guys responded in that way. They were very focused to continue to play in the game and all that, and today they’re just concerned for him.”

Heath was given a personal foul penalty on the play for what was the officials described as a blindside hit. As of Monday there was no news from the league regarding whether Heath would be fined or suspended for the hit.

“It was a high hit,” Carroll said. “It was up high.

We refer to the strike zone, that’s below the neck and above the knees. The league will figure it out.

“We are really teaching

a whole different style of blocking in situations,” Carroll added. “We had gone over it in Friday’s meeting, that’s the day we go over new rules and things like that, and happened to show a hit that was an illegal hit during the week. Then we showed one, I think it was (Dallas tight end Jason) Witten made a block on a guy, kind of a peel back kind of situation. We always need to keep teaching about the safety issue of it. It’s a different style of football when you make those decisions. That’s where we’re going to and the league is moving that direction. I think the league is sending out the right message and we just have to continue to follow and teach accordingly.”

The Seahawks, who moved to 4-4 with Sunday’s victory, are now off for their bye week and will reconvene next Monday. Seattle then has three straight home games, beginning with the NFC West-leading Arizona Cardinals on Nov. 15.

Gano’s FG lifts Panthers to 29-26 win over Colts in OT Associated Press CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Carolina Panthers refuse to lose.

Graham Gano kicked a 52-yard field goal in overtime to lift the Panthers to a 29-26 win over the Indianapolis Colts on a raindrenched Monday night, allowing them to remain the NFC's only unbeaten team.

It was Carolina's 11th straight regular season victory dating back to last season.

The Panthers didn't make it easy on themselves.

Carolina surrendered a 17-point fourth quarter lead as Andrew Luck threw two touchdown passes in the final 7:11 of regulation and led another field goal drive at the end of regulation.

The teams traded field goals in overtime, with Gano tying the score on a 42-yarder with 7:50 to go. On the Colts' ensuing possession, safety Roman Harper deflected Luck's pass over the middle to Coby Fleener and linebacker Luke Kuechly — who had dropped an earlier interception that would have sealed the game at the end of regulation — came up with

the pick at the Colts 39.

Four plays later Gano, who has missed an extra point earlier in the game, hit the game-winner.

Cam Newton was 16 of 35 for 248 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. He also ran for 41 yards.

Despite surrendering a 23-6 lead in the fourth quarter, Carolina had a chance to win the game in overtime but Ted Ginn Jr. dropped a wide open 56-yard touchdown pass. Greg Olsen would bail his teammate out with a one-handed catch to help set up Gano's tying field goal.

Source: 49ers bench Kaepernick, will start Gabbert Associated Press SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Quarterback Colin Kaepernick has been told he won’t start Sunday for the San Francisco 49ers and is being replaced by backup Blaine Gabbert, a person with knowledge of the decision said Monday night.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity to The Associated Press because the decision wasn’t to be discussed publicly. The team had not made a formal announcement, though coach Jim Tomsula offered a pretty good hint earlier in the day “we’re evaluating everyone,” on the heels of a 27-6 loss at St. Louis and a second straight game without a touchdown and third in four.

Kaepernick has been benched for

his birthday, as he turns 28 on Tuesday. In a strange twist, it was three years ago in November 2012 when Kaepernick was promoted to replace Alex Smith and he wound up leading San Francisco back to the Super Bowl and a three-point loss to Baltimore. Kaepernick made his first career start on Nov. 19, 2012, for former coach Jim Harbaugh.

Former first-round pick Gabbert completed 23 of 28 passes in the preseason — for an 82.1 completion percentage — for 203 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions and a 108.8 passer rating.

49ers trade Davis to Broncos ENGLEWOOD, Colo.— John Elway likes to talk about the long-term vision, winning “not only now but from now on.”

Coming off a 500-yard performance

and a shellacking of the Green Bay Packers, the boss of the unbeaten Denver Broncos made a bold move that shows he’s all in for 2015.

Denver’s general manager sent a pair of late-round draft picks to the San Francisco 49ers for two-time Pro Bowl tight end Vernon Davis on Monday, the first big move on the eve of the league’s trading deadline.

Elway called the 31-year-old veteran “a big weapon for us,” one who’ll add experience, speed and leadership to an offense that can use more big-play ability.

Davis, a 10th-year pro has 55 career touchdown catches.

The 49ers will get sixth-round picks in 2016 and 2017 and the Broncos also receive a seventh-round pick in 2016. If Davis, who’s due about $2.3 million on the final year of his contract, can quickly adapt to Gary Kubiak’s offense and finish strong, the Broncos could also get a compensatory draft pick if Davis leaves after the season and signs elsewhere.

“But yeah, I think going back, you go, ‘Really? You’re telling me that? That’s pretty good.’”

Shown are noon positions of weather systems and precipitation. Temperature bands are highs for the day.

Several UW players are among the leaders in Pac-12 individual statistics, too. Senior linebacker Travis Feeney, who on Monday was named Pac-12 defensive player of the week for the second time this season after posting 11 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, two sacks and two forced fumbles against Arizona, is the conference leader in sacks with 6.5. He also

ranks second in tackles for loss with 13.0.

Feeney and cornerback Sidney Jones are tied for the league lead with three forced fumbles each. Jones, Kevin King, Darren Gardenhire and Budda Baker are each among the top 10 players in the Pac-12 in passes defended.

Holding Arizona to three

points — the Wildcats entered as the nation’s No. 9 team in scoring offense — might have been UW’s most impressive feat yet.

“We never try to predict things,” Petersen said, “but I don’t think we were predicting that. The first drive they went down there and got their points, and (it was) tough sledding from there. Hat’s off to those guys.”
