Boy seriously injured in shooting Hearing

By Kari Bray Herald Writer

EVERETT — An 11-yearold boy was in serious condition Sunday evening after what appears to be an accidental shooting by a teenage relative earlier that afternoon.

The 16-year-old who allegedly fired the gun has been arrested

and is under investigation for reckless endangerment and unlawful possession of a firearm. He is being booked into the Denney Juvenile Justice Center. Early information suggested he was the boy’s older brother but the sheriff’s office was unable to confirm that Sunday evening.

Initial reports are that the

younger boy was shot in the face or head. The Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office Major Crimes Unit is investigating. It’s unclear at this point who else may have been nearby at the time of the shooting or what kind of gun was fired.

Deputies responded to the 12400 block of Admiralty Way at about 12:30 p.m. Sunday. They were told an unknown suspect had shot the boy and fled. A K-9 unit was sent out to help deputies track the shooter.

“In the process of conducting their search, they determined that it was the older sibling who had been involved, not an unknown subject,” Lt. David Bowman said.

The 11-year-old was taken to Harborview in critical condition, according to the sheriff’s office.

The boy was in serious condition when medics reached the hospital with him, a Harborview nursing supervisor said. He remained in serious condition Sunday night.

An investigator disagreed with a whistleblower’s claim that county officials’ car allowances were illegally inflated.

By Noah Haglund Herald Writer

EVERETT — A analyst’s insistence that he fraudulently inflated the reimbursement amounts that Snohomish County’s elected officials can claim for using personal vehicles hasn’t gained much traction.

The Snohomish County Council is considering a monthly car allowance of $529.28 for 2016.

That’s only about 7 percent lower the $569.32 rate for 2015. The county’s Fleet Management Division, which is under the County Executive’s Office, recommended the new rates to the council.

A hearing about the new rate, with a possible vote, is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. Dec. 9.

“I’ve said multiple times that this isn’t right, that this doesn’t make any sense,” said James Lee, a county analyst who filed a whistleblower complaint about the rates.

Lee contends the 2015 rates are about $250 per month higher than they should be. He said he pushed up compensation by using tricks such as basing replacement, maintenance, insurance and fuel costs on sport utility vehicles, instead of less expensive sedans.

A memo forwarded to the council with next year’s proposed rates includes an explanation to justify basing the rates on a class of SUVs that includes the Ford Escape.

The letter, from fleet services director Roy Scalf, reasons that smaller SUVs are the county government’s most common fleet vehicle, with 62 in use, compared to 28 mid-size sedans.

Scalf also cites news reports about the rising popularity of SUVs and crossover vehicles.

Lee filed his whistle-blower complaint in March, detailing alleged financial sleights of hand. He said he was pressured by supervisors to produce higher

Earth wilder, warmer since last climate deal made PARIS — This time, it’s a hotter, waterier, wilder Earth that world leaders are trying to save.

The last time that the nations of the world struck a binding agreement to fight global warming was 1997, in Kyoto, Japan. As leaders gather for a conference in Paris on Monday to try to do more, it’s clear things have changed dramatically over the past 18 years.

Some differences can be measured: degrees on a thermometer, trillions of tons of melting ice, a rise in sea level of a couple of inches. Epic weather disasters, including punishing droughts, killer heat waves and monster storms, have plagued Earth.

As a result, climate change is seen as a more urgent and concrete problem than it was last time.

“At the time of Kyoto, if someone talked about climate change, they were talking about something that was abstract in the future,” said Marcia McNutt, the former U.S. Geological Survey director who was picked to run the National Academies of Sciences. “Now, we’re talking about changing climate, something that’s happening now. You can point to event after event that is happening in the here and now that is a direct result of changing climate.”

Other, nonphysical changes since 1997 have made many experts more optimistic than in previous climate negotiations.

For one, improved technology is pointing to the possibility of a world weaned from fossil fuels, which emit heat-trapping gases. Businesses and countries are more serious about doing

“The biggest issue is learning how to participate in the process so you bring your positions forward without rattling those who’ve been there a while,” said Liias, who won a seat on the Mukilteo City Council at age 24.

A starting point for Wiita’s political career came in the eighth grade on a trip to the state Capitol with his grandfather, Jerry Labish, a longtime Sultan rancher. He met the lawmakers representing Sultan at a breakfast hosted by the Cattleman’s Association, an organization Labish has led for several years.

“My grandpa gave me my first insight into

politics,” he said. “He’s been a huge influence on me and I’m really grateful for that.”

Labish said politics come naturally for his grandson.

“He spoke quite fluently on the issues even as a 14-year-old. After that he took the ball and kept on running,” he said.

“I was always talking to him about my beliefs and what I felt about government. It seems like we can talk for two hours about politics,” Labish said. “He knows the issues and the problems we have.”

The county paid a workplace investigator $10,000 to examine Lee’s claims.

The report he got back in September concluded there was “no improper government action” in setting the car allowances because there is more than one legitimate way to interpret code.

Lee said last week that he continues to work in the fleet management division.

“I have given them so many opportunities to stop this,” he said.

The seas have risen nearly 2 ½ inches on average since 1997, according to calculations by the University of Colorado.

At its low point during the summer, the Arctic sea ice is on average 820,000 square miles smaller than it was 18 years ago, according to the National Snow and Ice Data Center. That’s a loss equal in area to Texas, California, Montana, New Mexico and Arizona combined.

The five deadliest heat waves of the past century — in Europe in 2003, Russia in 2010, India and Pakistan this year, Western Europe in 2006 and southern Asia in 1998 — have come in the past 18 years, according to the International Disaster Database run by the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disaster in Belgium.

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. In 1997, Earth set a record for the hottest year, but it didn’t last. Records were set in 1998, 2005, 2010 and 2014, and it is sure to happen again in 2015 when the results are in from the year, according to NOAA. The average glacier has lost about 39 feet, or 12 meters, of ice thickness since 1997, according to Samuel Nussbaumer at the World Glacier Monitoring Service in Switzerland.

With 1.2 billion more people in the world, carbon dioxide emissions from the burning of fossil fuels climbed nearly 50 percent between 1997 and 2013, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. The world is spewing more than 100 million tons of carbon dioxide a day now.

Early on, he hopes to discuss how Sultan can better deal with repeat offenders of minor crimes.

One solution he’d like to explore is the hiring of a city prosecutor, he said.

Another matter is attracting new businesses that fit the character of the town, he said.

“Coming in as the new guy and seeing how open the council and the city staff are to working on these issues will be interesting,” he said. “I want to do so without stepping on toes.”

That will demand an abundance of patience, counseled state Sen. Marko Liias, who began his political career in his 20s as well.

“I am quite stunned by how much the Earth has changed since 1997,” Princeton University’s Bill Anderegg said in an email.

Some numbers on global warming since 1997: The West Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets have lost 5.5 trillion tons of ice, or 5 trillion metric tons, according to Andrew Shepherd at the University of Leeds, who used NASA and European satellite data.

next September and the need to change attendance boundaries.

Forecasters had been following rising birth rates within the district and expected some increase in the total headcount.

What was harder to gauge was how much of an impact new high-density apartments would

Herald Writer

MUKILTEO — Enrollment in the Mukilteo School District eclipsed 15,000 for the first time this fall.

It is a sign of the times: The growth has led to construction of a new elementary school to open

have in the east end of the school district. Developers built them and families moved in in droves.

The district now uses 67 portables at its elementary schools.

“Enrollment is as high as it has ever been,” said Debra Fulton, the district’s director of support services. “We see the district continuing to grow at all levels.”

In the past 10 years, the district has added about a thousand students and, under some growth

projections, could add another 800 by 2020.

That has meant a need for new schools. The district in 2014 made its case to voters, who approved a $119 million construction bond measure to accommodate growth and renovate existing buildings.

Now, with a new $37 million Lake Stickney Elementary School scheduled to open in the fall, a team of parents, school employees and district officials

is redrawing attendance boundaries. Their work could affect roughly 1,000 students from eight of the district’s 11 elementary schools. Not affected are Columbia, Mukilteo and Endeavour elementary schools.

The committee, which took testimony from parents earlier this month, is expected to decide on its final recommendations See DISTRICT, Page A4

Slowing down for school zone talk I

Monroe High senior Cameron Lee has taken his interest in acting to the professional level, including productions in Seattle.

DAN BATES / THE HERALD

Monroe High’s Cameron Lee wants to pursue theater, music interests

By Amy Nile Herald Writer

MONROE — Cameron Lee, a senior at Monroe High School, is an actor. He’s been nominated for multiple awards for his professional work in Seattle, which includes performances at ArtsWest Playhouse and Gallery, the ACT Theater, the 5th

Avenue Theater and the Seattle Opera. Lee, 17, is now starring in a school play as Leon, the lead character in “Fools.”

Question: How did you get into acting?

Answer: I started acting when I was 11. I have a passion for acting, theater, art and music.

But when I was young, I had a stutter. I knew I wanted to be an

actor so I took speech therapy to overcome it.

Q: How did you get your first role?

A: When I auditioned for my first production at 11, I wanted to be the most focused, determined person in that room. I would make direct eye contact with the adults who were making the decisions. I got the role

I wanted, which was Frog in “A Year with Frog and Toad.”

Q: What did you take away from that first part?

A: It was a musical and part of me didn’t think I could do it.

I learned anything is possible if you put your mind to it. That’s something I’ve carried with me.

t was last spring when Jeannette Geyer first brought to our notice that a flashing beacon near Penny Creek Elementary School wasn’t working. This particular beacon is an advance warning sign, which alerts drivers on westbound Highway 96 of the approaching school zone.

Maybe it was because of nearby construction. Maybe not.

But either way it was a concern.

“I drive by the school daily on my way to work, and there are many drivers that do not pay attention to the flashing lights here,” Geyer said.

The sign is followed by the actual school zone sign, which has a flashing beacon of its own that is in good working order.

“When motorists see this (advance warning) light not functioning, they assume that the other light is not flashing also, so they think the speed limit remains at 45 mph through the school zone. Until they notice that the light closest to the school is activated and flashing, and need to be at 35 mph in just a short distance,” Geyer said.

This is a Washington State Department of Transportationcontrolled beacon. Nearly seven months later, the beacon still is not working. After periodic

MOUNTLAKE TERRACE — Firefighters are asking families to be careful using fireplaces or wood burning stoves after a chimney fire destroyed a home and displaced a family of three.

Firefighters were called to a single-story house on the 24300 block of 59th Place W. around 1:40 a.m. Sunday. A man inside the home had been awake and heard “an unusual crackling

sound coming from the wood stove,” according to Leslie Hynes, a spokeswoman for Snohomish County Fire District 1. He woke his wife and 2-year-old daughter and the three got out of the house safely to call 911.

Flames had spread from the chimney to one wall of the house when firefighters arrived.

They tamped down the blaze in about 20 minutes and no one was injured, according to a news release.

However, the fire did about $60,000 worth of damage. The home is no longer safe to live in.

Red Cross is working with the family to make sure they have food and shelter.

Following the early morning blaze, the fire district released a list of tips to help people prevent fires when using fireplaces or wood stoves in this cold weather.

Stoves and chimneys should be installed by professionals. They also should be inspected and

cleaned by professionals each fall, just before the weather turns cold and fireplaces or stoves are used for heat. Even after the big fall cleaning, anyone using a chimney should clean it regularly with a wire brush.

Burning the right materials also is critical for preventing fires. Dry, seasoned wood is best for wood stoves and pellet stoves are meant to be used only for burning pellets.

Always give ashes time to cool before removing them from the

cookies, Bethlehem Nativity cave and shopping. All proceeds benefit the nonprofit convent. For more information, call 360-629-0285 or go to www.quietlightcandles.com.

Endangered fisher to be reintroduced into Cascades

By Phuong Le Associated Press

SEATTLE — A weasel-like predator that disappeared from Washington state decades ago will soon be reintroduced to the Cascade Range State and federal wildlife officials are preparing to re-establish fishers into Mount Rainier and North Cascades national parks and surrounding areas as part of an effort to restore the state-listed endangered animals to their previous range.

The dark brown forest-dwelling mammals historically were found throughout much of the forested areas of the state. But they declined in numbers due to overtrapping in the 1800s and early 1900s, and the loss of forest habitats. Fishers are believed to have disappeared from the state in the mid-1900s.

In coming weeks, a team of wildlife officials will take fishers captured from British Columbia and relocate them to the southwest Cascades, including Mount Rainier National Park and

Gifford Pinchot National Forest. The plan is to reintroduce 40 fishers a year for two years.

If all goes well, officials will begin relocating additional fishers to the northwest Cascades, as early as fall 2017. Each region would get 80 animals, for a total of 160.

The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, the National Park Service, Conservation Northwest and others are leading the effort.

“We have a chance to correct a thing that we didn’t manage correctly a long time ago. We can restore a species,” said Jeffrey Lewis, a WDFW wildlife biologist.

The first fisher reintroduction in the state was done in Olympic National Park in 2008. About 90 fishers were reintroduced over several years, and those animals have successfully reproduced.

Last May, park officials approved a plan to partner with the state to re-establish the fisher to the two national parks. The goal is to rebuild the population so fishers can survive and

reproduce on their own, as well as to improve the ecosystem.

“When biodiversity is lost from an ecosystem, that system is less able to withstand change and can become less resilient,” said Tara Chestnut, a Mount Rainier park ecologist.

Fishers belong to a family that includes weasels, mink and otters. They eat small mammals, including snowshoe hares, mountain beavers and porcupines, are found only in North America, in lowto-mid elevation canopy forests.

The state is getting animals from British Columbia because they are closely related to fishers that were historically in Washington, and it’s a healthy population close to the state, Chestnut said.

Trapping season began Nov. 1 in British Columbia.

Chestnut, Lewis and others are waiting for enough fishers to be captured before traveling north to bring the animals back.

The fishers will be examined to make sure they’re healthy and disease-free, and they’ll be equipped

with radio transmitters so biologists can track them for about two years.

“We will put them in the center of a lot of good habitat,” Lewis said.

The first 25 fishers will be relocated in national forest

south of Mount Rainier with the final 15 animals to be released within the park.

The goal is to relocate them in late fall or early winter to give females time to establish dens.

Fishers were listed by

the state as an endangered species in 1998. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service last fall proposed listing the West Coast population of fishers as a threatened species under the federal Endangered Species Act.

However, there is hope for California’s aerospace industry.

Last month, the Air Force chose Virginia-based Northrop Grumman Corp. to build its next-generation bomber. Much of the plane’s assembly could occur in the Southern California desert community of Palmdale, home of Air Force Plant 42, a military

industrial park leased to aerospace contractors where the B-1 and B-2 bombers were built.

Northrop Grumman said last year it could create 1,500 new jobs in Palmdale under the $80 billion bomber contract.

Spaceship producers SpaceX and Virgin Galactic both have facilities in Southern California.

Cascade Range is nearly drought-free. The Capital Press reported that more than one-third of the state is no longer in drought status. The entire state was in a “severe” to “extreme” drought in early October.

Snow is accumulating in the Olympic and North Cascades mountains, and the five Yakima River Basin reservoirs have caught up

to normal levels.

There has been little change, however, in drought conditions this month in Oregon and Idaho.

A vast majority of Oregon is in some drought stage, with 60 percent in extreme drought. In Idaho, about two-thirds of the state is in drought, including 9 percent in extreme drought.

Tuesday and forward its proposal to the school board for public comment at 6 p.m. Dec. 14 at the district office, 9401 Sharon Drive, Everett. It could vote on the boundary changes Jan. 11. To learn more about the boundary proposals, go to mukilteo.wednet. edu.

The new Lake Stickney Elementary School is being built on the site of the old school, which closed in 2003 when Odyssey Elementary School opened. The district held onto the land in anticipation of future growth.

In 2017, the district expects to open a new kindergarten center alongside the Fairmount Elementary School campus.

It is part of a strategy to offer all-day kindergarten across the school district by sending several hundred students at crowded schools to the one-year program.

Enrollment for the new kindergarten center will be determined by space needs at elementary schools each year. Some students will attend the kindergarten center while others could remain at their home school.

“We don’t want to throw 5-year-olds into a gigantic school,” said Andy Muntz, a school district spokesman.

“It will be broken into smaller sections with separate playgrounds.

They will feel they are in a much smaller school.”

LONG BEACH, Calif. — The last C-17 Globemaster III built at a Southern California Boeing plant soared into history on Sunday with a flyover that marked the end of an era for the region’s once-thriving aerospace industry.

The enormous cargo jet was cheered in Long Beach as if roared over the heads of an estimated 1,000 onlookers, many of them Boeing employees, spokesman Felix Sanchez said.

The jet, which can hold more than 80 tons of cargo, will be housed in San Antonio, Texas, until it is delivered to the Qatar Emiri Air Force early next year.

“This is truly the end of an era. It’s a sad day, but one that all of the Boeing employees and suppliers who have worked over the years building this great aircraft can be proud of,” Nan Bouchard, vice president and C-17 program manager, said in a statement.

The Long Beach facility assembled more than 250 C-17s over two decades but Boeing announced two years ago that it didn’t have enough foreign orders to justify keeping the plant open.

With production ending, most of the 25-acre plant will be shuttered by year’s end. However, some engineering support for aircraft may continue there for a year or two.

About 2,200 employees are losing their jobs, although many have retired or transferred to other Boeing operations.

Boeing still has more than 16,000 employees in California working on programs ranging from satellite manufacturing to cyber security. However, that’s a nearly 50 percent cut in the workforce in the past decade.

Earlier this year, Boeing announced plans to lay off as many as several hundred workers at an El Segundo satellite factory.

Strong salmon returns up Columbia past McNary Dam

By George Plaven East Oregonian

PENDLETON, Ore. — The Columbia Basin’s 2015 salmon season is the second-strongest year since the federal dams were built nearly 80 years ago.

A record number of fall chinook salmon returned up the Columbia River past McNary Dam in 2015, continuing on to spawning grounds at Hanford Reach, the Snake River and Yakima Basin.

More than 456,000 of the fish were counted at McNary Dam, breaking the facility’s previous record of 454,991 set in 2013. An estimated 200,000 fall chinook made it back to Hanford Reach, the most since hydroelectric dams were first built on the Columbia nearly 80 years ago.

Both federal and tribal leaders hailed the impressive run as a positive sign of their efforts to improve

both fish habitat and passage at the dams. The Bonneville Power Administration is especially pleased with recent projects at McNary Dam, re-routing its juvenile fish bypass channel to provide better protection from predators.

Crews also installed weirs at two of the dam’s spillway gates, which lets certain species of fish pass through closer to the surface.

Overall, 2.3 million adult salmon passed through Bonneville Dam near Portland, making it the second-strongest year on record for the entire Columbia Basin.

“When you look at how well salmon did overall is this year, it’s clear the approach of restoring critical fish habitat and improving dam passage is working,” said Lorri Bodi, vice president of environment, fish and wildlife at BPA. There were 3,485

chinook counted at Three Mile Falls Dam on the Umatilla River near Hermiston. That’s slightly more than the 3,259 in 2014, and less than the 4,117 fish in 2013.

Coho counts fell back to Earth after a monster year in 2014 — 3,076 in 2015, compared to more than 14,000 a year ago at Three Mile Falls Dam. Steelhead were much lower, with just 558 fish versus 1,480 in 2014.

Kat Brigham, who has served on the Board of Trustees for the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation as well as the Columbia River InterTribal Fish Commission, said such anomalies used to be purely attributed to ocean survival — something that’s no doubt important, but was a convenient way of dismissing environmental damage and flaws in the dams’ passage systems.

“Ocean survival is an

important piece, but nobody can really determine what good ocean survival is,” Brigham said.

“We still have to look at what needs to be done to protect our fish as both adults and juveniles.”

Brigham said she is excited about this year’s fall returns, which is the result of hard work between the four CRITFC tribes, Northwest states and federal government.

But there are still challenges to reestablishing sustainable populations, she said. The basin still has 13 fish runs listed on the Endangered Species Act, and a changing climate won’t make things any easier.

The CTUIR and Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife began trucking spring salmon up past Three Mile Falls Dam in May this year, much earlier than normal as low flows and warm water put additional stress

on the fish.

Coming up with a plan for endangered fish require a holistic approach, Brigham said. No part of the restoration effort is more important than the other.

“If it was a real simple answer, I hope we would have found it and got it done,” Brigham said. “It’s not just the drought. You have to look at everything.”

Brigham said she understands the BPA has to consider costs, and irrigation will always be a part of the basin. They are striving to come up with a balance that will ultimately allow everyone to survive. She said the CTUIR’s Umatilla River Vision is potentially a model for other interests to consider.

“It’s an ongoing project to try and protect the habitat and fish going over dams,” she said. “We are protecting our culture, our way of life and treaty rights.”

Not all Northwest fish runs fared well in 2015.

Unseasonably warm temperatures heated river water enough to all but decimate endangered Snake River sockeye, though biologists did release 600 hatchery sockeye into Idaho’s Redfish and Pettit Lakes to spawn naturally.

Research shows the offspring of sockeye spawned naturally in lakes return at higher rates than those simply released from the hatchery.

Paul Lumley, CRITFC executive director, said the successes in 2015 highlight what they are capable of accomplishing as a region when everyone works together.

“Yes, there is more work to be done to address things like climate change, water quality and water temperatures, but this success provides the confidence to achieve full salmon recovery,” Lumley said.

Inslee going to climate change conference OLYMPIA — Washington state Gov. Jay Inslee is heading to the U.N. climate change conference in Paris this week to promote efforts to reduce carbon emissions.

The Seattle Times said the governor is part of a U.S. State Department delegation. But the Democratic governor will not be involved in the actual negotiations, involving representatives of more than 190 nations, to get a historic agreement to limit climate change. Inslee has made reducing greenhouse gas emissions one of his key priorities.

He’s scheduled to attend meetings where he’ll talk about Washington’s efforts, learn what’s happening elsewhere and meet with companies interested in doing business in the state.

Other leaders from Washington are also heading to the summit, including Seattle City Councilmember Mike O’Brien, Olympia Mayor Stephen Buxbaum and King County Councilmember Larry Phillips. The Georgetown University’s climate center is paying trip costs for Inslee and two other state officials.

Recreational crab season opens Tuesday The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife says it will

reopen recreational crab fishing in the Seattle-Bremerton area for the month of December. Marine Area 10 has been closed since the summer crab fishing season ended in early September. Unlike on Washington’s coast, marine toxins have not been an issue in Puget Sound crab. Recreational crabbing in the Seattle-Bremerton area will begin at 8 a.m.

Tuesday and will be open seven days a week. All other marine areas of the Puget Sound are already open to recreational crab fishing and will remain open to daily fishing through the end of December. The daily catch limit in Puget Sound is five Dungeness crab, males only, in hard-shell condition with a minimum carapace width of 6 ¼ inches. In T:10” addition, people may catch six

red rock crab of either sex per day, provided those crab measure at least 5 inches across.

Oregon: Vandals break into candy trailer The Ashland Kiwanis says someone broke into its trailer and stole a large amount of candy the club planned to sell as part of its annual fundraiser.

The Daily Tidings reports that the trailer had been parked at a shopping center when the breakin happened last week. The door to the trailer was taken off its hinges. It’ll cost the club about $1,100 to repair the trailer and replace the candy.

Money from the candy sales help pay for Kiwanis projects

that benefit children’s and other programs.

The group says it is hoping to have the trailer repaired this week.

The club experienced a similar break-in and loss two years ago.

Pedestrian struck by light-rail train dies Police say a pedestrian was struck and killed by a light-rail train in southeast Portland. Police said the person was trying to cross the tracks in a restricted area between loading platforms when the crash happened Sunday afternoon. The person’s gender, age and other information were not immediately released.

It’s a major shift that has made it difficult for stores to track and learn from shoppers’ spending habits during the traditional start to the busy holiday shopping season.

Take Pia Tracy, who bought some items at Pier 1 home furnishings store over the weekend.

But Tracy, who lives in Queens, New York, plans to spread out the majority of her $4,000 holiday budget throughout the season.

“Black Friday weekend doesn’t matter to me anymore,” Tracy said. “There’s always some kind of deal in-store or online.”

Like Tracy, many U.S. shoppers like to make purchases on their desktops and smartphones nowadays, they insist on getting big discounts whenever they shop, and they don’t feel pressured to shop on particular days.

That shift has caused the National Retail Federation, the nation’s largest retail trade group, to overhaul the way it tracks shopper spending and visits during the four-day Thanksgiving weekend — something it’s been doing for more than a decade. The group said the changes are aimed at getting a fuller picture of shoppers’ habits, including their growing affinity for online buying.

The group, which has long been criticized for its estimates of total spending over the extended weekend because they’re based on shopper surveys and not actual sales data, said it will no longer track total spending for the weekend. It also said it’s asking shoppers different questions, which has led it to report numbers that vary significantly from those it’s gotten in previous years.

The moves are significant because retail experts, investors and economists look to the group’s Thanksgiving weekend numbers to provide an indication of the mood of consumers heading into the holiday shopping season, a period of

historically strong spending.

The retail group on Sunday said more than 151 million people shopped in stores or online over the weekend, according to a survey of 4,281 shoppers.

That compares with 133.7 million last year, but the group said those figures are not comparable because of its change in methodology.

It also estimated that spending per person was $299.60. That’s below the nearly $381 figure last year, but the group also said this year’s spending number is not comparable to those in previous years.

The data, without yearover-year comparisons, paints an incomplete picture of the behavior and spending of U.S. shoppers over the weekend. But overall, the group sticks by its pre-Black Friday prediction that sales in November and December will rise 3.7 percent to $630.5 billion.

That’s below last year’s 4.1 percent growth.

Year-over-year growth is getting increasingly harder to come by, as the weekend crowds proved. Mall of America, the nation’s

largest shopping mall, said visits on Thanksgiving and Black Friday, were about even with last year.

“It’s no longer the crazy rush when doors open,” said Dan Jasper, a Mall of America spokesman Business was brisk but not overwhelming at a Macy’s in Kansas City, Missouri at 10 a.m. on Friday as a cold, steady drizzle fell.

No lines had more than a few customers.

In Denver early on Black Friday, the crowds were similarly thin. In a strip mall that included Kmart, every store was open, but the only one with a shopper inside was Starbucks.

Kevin Sandoval had never gone shopping on Black Friday, but he was lured by a Sam’s Club TV deal — $100

off a 55-inch television.

Loading his car in the near-empty parking lot, Sandoval said he was in and out of the store in about 15 minutes. He expected a crowd, but found just a handful of other shoppers.

“There was no one here,” he said. “This is a hidden gem now, coming out to shop on Black Friday.”

Weather, flights aid post-Thanksgiving travel efforts

By Jake Pearson Associated Press

NEW YORK — Tens of millions of Americans returning home after the long Thanksgiving holiday weekend Sunday had cooperative weather and mostly efficient airport operations to thank for smooth

traveling conditions.

Besides a winter storm that will bring freezing rain and snow to the central Plains Sunday night and into Monday, weather across much of the country is seasonably mild, said National Weather Service meteorologist Bruce Sullivan. “Enjoy it while it lasts,” he said.

Most airports across the country are running with delays of 15 minutes or less, according to Federal Aviation Administration air traffic control system data. But a large volume of passengers at Dulles International and Reagan National airports in Washington, D.C., as well as

IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR PUGET SOUND ENERGY CUSTOMERS ABOUT PROPOSED CHANGES IN RATES Puget Sound Energy on Oct. 28, 2015, and on Nov. 18, 2015, filed requests with the state Utilities and Transportation Commission (UTC) to adjust electric and natural gas rates. The requested changes, proposed to be effective on Jan 1, 2016, are included in the Other Charges & Credits amount listed on PSE bills: • Federal Incentive Tracker: An annual true-up of the pass-through of federal income tax benefits derived from PSE’s investments in the utility-owned and operated Wild Horse and Lower Snake River Wind Facilities. The filing requests to increase the credit, which will decrease electric rates for most customers but results in an increase in electric rates for some other customers.

• Renewable Energy Credit: Primarily due to a reduction in the level of Renewable Energy Credit net proceeds, PSE requests to lower the credit which will result in an increase in electric rates.

• Merger Credit: The Merger Credit, established in February 2009, will be increased, causing a decrease in electric and natural gas rates for most customers in 2016, however customers on Electric Schedules 8, 24, 449 and 459 along with customers with certain sizes of lights on Schedules 50 through 58 and customers on Natural Gas Schedules 41, 41T, 85, 85T, 86, and 86T will experience a small increase.

NATURAL GAS RATES: For households with natural gas service using a 12-month average of 68 therms per month, the effect of the adjusted Merger Credit will decrease a typical PSE monthly bill by 2 cents, or 0.03 percent.

ELECTRIC RATES: The combined effect of all three rate changes for the typical residential customer using 1,000 kWh of electricity per month will decrease a typical PSE monthly bill by 20 cents, or 0.2 percent in the monthly bill. The overall average decrease for electric customers is as follows:

LaGuardia in New York, led to slightly longer delays, the data show.

In Atlanta, officials are projecting 88,000 travelers to pass through the world’s busiest airport by the end of Sunday, making it their busiest travel day of the year.

A spokesman for Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport says the prior record for the year was 80,000 people Columbus Day. Lobbying group Airlines for America estimated more than 25 million passengers would take to the

Q: How did you break into professional acting?

A: I kept doing summer programs at ArtsWest in West Seattle. In 2011, I was hired for an adult, main-stage production called “Distracted” by Lisa Loomer. It was the first time I had to balance two worlds: school and being in a professional show.

Q: How does high school acting compare with your professional experience?

A: It’s like culture shock going between them.

Theater is a night business and school is definitely not. The professional environment is much different. It’s people’s jobs and they treat it as such. In high school, it’s an extracurricular activity and a place to fit in.

Q: What is your audition strategy?

A: I prepare as much as possible so I won’t forget.

The best impression you can make is your genuine one.

Q: What are you most proud of?

A: I’m very proud of a role I played my sophomore year at the 5th Avenue Theatre, which was part of the Rising Star Project. It’s a professional show with high school students. I played Prince Herbert and a lot of other roles in Monty

Q: What else are you interested in?

I sing, play piano and program music on the computer. At school, I’m in choir, jazz choir and the barber shop group, an a cappella men’s ensemble.

Q: Is your family musical too?

We all have our harmony parts we made up.

Q: What else are you working on?

A: Me and a few other seniors are getting a team together to make minidocumentaries about issues people aren’t paying attention to. We’ll ask questions like “Are we doing enough recycling at school?” and figure out what to do about it.

Q: What are your plans for after high school?

A: I want to go to a liberal arts college.

I’m looking at Bard in upstate New York and Eugene Lang in New York City. I want to explore different disciplines. I’d love to be a generative artist, who generates things that spread joy and inspiration to people.

Wind is expected to pick up Tuesday and Wednesday, according to the Clean Air Agency. That would ease pollution levels and possibly allow for an end to the burn ban.

Betty lived the majority of her life in the Everett and Marysville, Washington area.

She retired af ter working many years at Fluke. Betty was a hard worker her entire life. Our dear one was quiet and soft spoken - always a l a d y. S h e wa s we l l p u t together in ironed blouses with a hot cup of coffee in hand.

Betty and Ar t enjoyed t r av e l i n g , s k i i n g , h i k i n g , dancing and rollerblading before her health started to slowly decline. She never complained and always replied “I’m f ine” - ever y time. She remained prideful and fought incredibly hard until the end.

Pope brings message of peace

ACROSS THE U.S.

Colorado shooting victims identified COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — A family friend said of one of the three people who died in a shooting at a Colorado Planned Parenthood clinic was an Iraq War veteran who had recently left the military. Ke’Arre Stewart, 29, was accompanying someone at the clinic when he was killed. He leaves behind two young daughters in Texas. The father of Jennifer Markovsky, 36, said she also died Friday when the gunman opened fire. He described Markovsky as a kind-hearted, lovable person with two children. Also killed in the shootout was University of Colorado police officer Garrett Swasey, 44, a husband, father, pastor and champion figure skater.

from the bottom of my heart,” she said.

In response, Francis told her he was here as a “pilgrim of peace, an apostle of hope,” and that he hoped elections scheduled for next month would enable the conflict-torn country to “serenely begin a new phase of its history.”

But the security situation remains tense and fragile: Bangui’s archbishop travels into the city’s Muslim enclave under escort from armed peacekeepers. Bangui has long been under a nightly curfew of 8 p.m. as gun battles have rung out after dark in the flashpoint neighborhoods.

Associated Press

BANGUI, Central African Republic — Flanked by Vatican bodyguards in flak jackets and machine-gun-toting U.N. peacekeepers, Pope Francis plunged Sunday into conflict-wracked Central African Republic and urged the country’s Christian and Muslim factions to lay down their weapons and instead arm themselves with peace and forgiveness.

Francis issued the appeal from the altar of Bangui’s cathedral after arriving in the badly-divided capital on the final leg of his three-nation African tour.

Schoolgirls dressed in the yellow and white of the Holy See flag and women wearing traditional African fabric dresses emblazoned with the pope’s face joined government and church authorities to welcome Francis at Bangui airport amid tight security.

Tight security

Peace, love, unity Cheering crowds lined his motorcade route — about three miles of it in his opensided popemobile. The crowds swelled again at a displacement camp, where children sang him songs of welcome and held up hand-made signs saying “Peace,” ‘’Love” and “Unity.”

“My wish for you, and for all Central Africans, is peace,” Francis told the nearly 4,000 residents in the St. Sauveur church camp. With the help of a Sango translator, he then led them in a chant: “We are all brothers. We are all brothers.”

“And because we are brothers, we want peace,” he said.

Reconciliation

Brutal reign Sunday’s visit was a rare moment of jubilation in Central African Republic, where Muslim rebels overthrew the Christian president in early 2013, ushering in a brutal reign that led to a swift and horrific backlash against Muslim civilians when the rebel leader left power the following year.

Throughout the early months of 2014, mobs attacked Muslims in the streets, even decapitating and dismembering them and setting their corpses ablaze.

Tens of thousands of Muslim civilians fled for their lives to neighboring Chad and Cameroon. Today, the capital that once had 122,000 Muslims has only around 15,000, according to Human Rights Watch.

Pope to meet Muslims While ecstatic crowds celebrated the pope’s visit and

Adding to the joy of Francis’ arrival was that the curfew was extended to 10 p.m. to accommodate the prayer vigil Francis celebrated Sunday night at the cathedral.

Security, however, was understandably tight.

A U.N. helicopter hovered overhead at the airport and armed peacekeepers on foot stood about 20 feet apart lining the road into the capital before the pope’s arrival. Vatican gendarmes already on the ground when Francis arrived donned flak vests — an unusual if not unprecedented occurrence.

He started the Mass with a ceremonial opening of the cathedral’s Holy Door — officially launching his Jubilee Year of Mercy a week early in a bid to give Africa a special spiritual boost.

Crowds of people cheer at Pope Francis upon his arrival in Bangui, Central African Republic, on Sunday.

message of reconciliation, thousands of Muslims remained essentially blockaded in their neighborhood of PK5, unable to leave because of the armed Christian militia fighters called the anti-Balaka who surround its perimeter.

Francis plans to enter this highly volatile neighborhood Monday morning to meet with the local imam and Muslims in the mosque before returning to Rome.

In his inaugural Mass on Sunday night, Francis reminded the faithful that their primary vocation was to love their enemy and be courageous in forgiving and overcoming hatred, violence, persecution and injustice.

“To all those who unjustly use weapons in this world, I appeal: Put down your weapons of death; arm yourselves instead with justice, love, mercy and authentic guarantees of peace,” he said to applause.

President: ‘Forgive us’ In a nod to Francis’ appeal for personal soul-searching, President Catherine Samba-Panza offered a public confession.

“In the name of the entire governing class of this country and also in the name of all those who have contributed in some way to its descent into hell, I confess all the evil that has been done here over history and ask forgiveness

The Muslim community hopes the visit will improve the bleak condition they’re living in.

Imam Oumar Kobine Layama, presidennt of the Central African Islamic Community, said the country’s Muslims want the pope to pray for them all.

“For the reconciliation of our hearts, the hearts of all the Central Africans, and be the door — our open door — because we don’t have a voice now, we are really living in a precarious situation that doesn’t have a name.”

In an amazing sight outside the cathedral before Francis arrived, a lone Muslim wearing a white robe and traditional Muslim cap toted a sign reading “One God. One Earth. Same Ancestor.”

“We Christians and Muslims lived together for many years and then it was torn apart,” said Georges Pokama, 62, as he sat in the shade of a roadside shop in Bangui with his portable radio in hand wearing a hat that said “United for Peace. “The pope is a great mediator and we must listen to his message.”

A bust of Abraham Lincoln that was stolen from outside a museum near where he delivered the Gettysburg Address has been found. Hall of Presidents and First Ladies Museum manager Rose Little said the bust was found in a nearby cemetery’s bushes by some out-of-state visitors Friday. She said the museum will clean it and “put President Lincoln back up on the pedestal where he belongs.” The bust was stolen sometime between Nov. 22 and Nov. 23.

Cleveland: Images, released of officer shooting boy Prosecutors in Ohio on Saturday released a frame-by-frame analysis of the surveillance camera footage first made public a year ago that shows a white Cleveland police officer fatally shooting a black 12-year-old boy who had a pellet gun. The additional images taken from surveillance video at a recreation center where Tamir Rice was shot and killed don’t appear to contain any new or substantive information.

The analysis also doesn’t show whether Tamir, as police officials have maintained, was reaching into his waistband for the pellet gun when then-rookie patrolman Timothy Loehmann shot him less than two seconds after getting out of the car.

AROUND THE WORLD Paris: Tens of billions to boost clean energy tech Government and business leaders are banking on clean energy technology to fight global warming, kicking off this week’s high-stakes climate change negotiations by pledging tens of billions of dollars for research and development.

Microsoft founder and philanthropist Bill Gates, President Barack Obama and French President Francois Hollande will announce the new initiative Monday, committing to spend tens of billions of dollars for a technological fix to the planet’s climate woes, three current and former officials told The Associated Press.

Syria: Russian strikes kill 18, wound dozens Airstrikes believed to have been carried out by Russian warplanes killed at least 18 civilians and wounded dozens more Sunday in a northern Syrian town held by insurgents, Syrian opposition media reported. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the airstrikes struck the town of Ariha. If Russian warplanes carried out Sunday’s strikes it would be one of the deadliest incidents since Moscow began launching airstrikes in Syria two months ago.

London: Climate protests take place around the world Tens of thousands of people worldwide hit the streets over the weekend to press world leaders to push for a bold international agreement at the climate summit in Paris. There was a carnival atmosphere on streets of the British capital, and in Washington several hundred gathered by the White House and marched along the Mall. In Nepal, people marched n the streets of Kathmandu.

Organizers in New Zealand said they saw the largest climate marches to date, with about 15,000 hitting the streets in Auckland. People in Beirut urged their government to take strong action while marching with a wide array of colorful umbrellas. Walid Al-Hashef, 29, organized a march through the ancient city of Sanaa, the capital of Yemen, which has endured eight months of bombing.

1st Security has Olympic ambitions

By Deanna Duff For The Herald Business Journal

The role and importance of a community bank is not often considered until times of transition. Matt Lessard, president of Edmondsbased Wilcox Construction, banked with a corporate institution for 16 years.

He was stunned when his company’s line of credit was abruptly halved due to perceived disuse.

He took his business to Mountlake Terrace-based 1st Security Bank. They immediately restored the line of credit and later even hired Wilcox Construction to remodel the Edmonds branch.

“When times get tough, that’s when you need a local bank because they see you for being more than just numbers. They know you as part of the community,” Lessard said.

In January, 1st Security Bank is expected to expand to new communities, adding four banks to its existing network of seven. Bank of America is reducing its presence on the Olympic Peninsula by selling banks

in Hadlock, Port Angeles, Port Townsend and Sequim. 1st Security Bank’s board of directors unanimously decided to acquire all four.

“It wasn’t really on our radar to expand, but the opportunity presented itself and the more we looked at it, the more excited we became,” said Joe Adams, CEO of 1st Security Bank.

“We already have a Poulsbo branch and this essentially allows us to create a peninsula banking region with a total of five branches.”

The approximate total for the new locations is $260 million in deposits. According to Adams, deposit amounts at the new branches are similar to a bit higher compared to 1st Security’s existing locations.

As of June, 1st Security’s total deposits were approximately $470 million.

With the new Olympic Peninsula cluster, 1st Security can better support staffing. It is easier to cover vacations, sick leave and emergencies. All employees will be retained in the acquisition with a possible increase in overall

operations staffing.

“The decision to sell rather than closing those banking centers Joe Adams was made to maintain job opportunities for employees and keep financial centers open in those

communities,” said Britney Sheehan, regional media relations manager for Bank of America.

All four of the banks are longtime, community institutions. In 2015, the Port Angeles location celebrated its 50th anniversary. The other three branches opened between 1974 and 1976. Two of the properties are owned by Bank of

America and two are leased spaces.

“1st Security has really demonstrated a strong commitment to serving the community, which was one of the reasons why they were selected,” Sheehan said. “They’re really committed to this market and doing a great job. We’re very supportive of the sale.”

1st Security remains poised for continued growth. According to Adams, the bank’s lending side boasted 20-25 percent annual loan growth in recent years. Staffing has grown from 80 employees in 2011 to 230 this year. Approximately 25 additional positions are expected from the Bank of Amercia acquisition.

“We’ve been pretty steady. We had an excellent amount of capital going into the recession,” Adams said. “More importantly, we didn’t end up with the concentration risks so many other banks had. Some were well outside FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation) guidance for commercial real estate and construction lending.”

While online banking is a popular option for many customers, 1st Security has also navigated continued success with brick-andmortar sites. It opened a new Mill Creek branch in May. “Online banking, though efficient, is not very warm and friendly. There are many customers who still prefer to actually talk to somebody,” said Melissa Harris, manager at 1st Security’s Mill Creek branch.

Wave of Chinese investment could be coming to Western Washington

By Oliver Lazenby The Bellingham Business Journal

biz bits

BELLINGHAM — In his office on Newmarket Street in the Barkley District, Patrick Starr entered search terms into an online real estate database and came up with a list of properties for sale for more than $4 million in King County.

An untrained eye might not have noticed the prevalence of the number eight in the listings. Properties appeared on the screen for $4,088,000, $6,088,000, $10,888,000, $5,488,880.

But to Starr, a Whatcom County commercial real estate broker with John L. Scott, the eights mean something. The number is lucky in China; the properties are being marketed toward Chinese investors looking for a safe investment, Starr said.

He knows because, as perhaps the only Chinesespeaking commercial real estate broker in the county, he also markets properties to Chinese investors.

In a two-year period ending in July 2013, Starr represented Chinese investors who bought more than $25 million in high-priced commercial real estate, including the Birch Bay Waterslides, Horizon at Semiahmoo, and Sea Links Golf Course and CJ’s Beach House in Birch Bay. At that time, the majority of sales in north Whatcom County went to foreign investors, said Mike Kent, a real estate consultant in Blaine. Kent represented the sellers in many major sales.

Since then, Whatcom County hasn’t seen any high profile transactions, he said.

“Recently it hasn’t been that prevalent. Three years ago it was,” Kent said. “It’s

not that it’s not happening, we just haven’t had any transactions of late.”

But changes in the Chinese economy could bring another wave of real estate investment to Whatcom County, Starr said. It’s already happening in Seattle, and in the last six months Starr has been busy making offers on behalf of Chinese investors.

One recent offer he made for a Chinese client was on a residential property. The price: $800,000. “Gotta love that eight,” Starr said.

“I’m going crazy right now,” he said. “I’ve written so many offers in the last couple days.”

Chinese economy The purchases Chinese investors made from 2011 to 2013 were deals, Starr said, because the market for large commercial properties in Whatcom County was at a low point. Many of those high-profile deals were distressed sales. Also, Chinese investors based in B.C. benefited from a stronger Canadian dollar.

Since then, the deals have slowed to a crawl as the local real estate market improved and the Canadian dollar lost value to the U.S. dollar.

But when China’s economy slowed earlier this year, Chinese investors began stashing their money outside China. According to a September report in Bloomberg Businessweek, data the news agency compiled showed that an estimated $141.66 billion left China in August 2015, up from $124.62 billion in July.

Much of it went to the U.S. “The U.S. dollar has always been seen as a safe haven around the world,” said James McCafferty,

assistant director for Western Washington University’s Center for Economic and Business Research. “If I were to have substantial holdings in China and saw the economic indicators I would probably look for places where I could put it out of the decline.”

The money leaving China is going all over the world.

Simon Henry, the CEO of Chinese real estate website Juwai, told CNBC in September that the U.S. is the top market for his clients who want to invest overseas. New York and California get the most Chinese investment, followed

by Washington, Florida, Michigan and Texas, he said.

Whatcom County’s proximity makes it popular with Starr’s clients in Vancouver, B.C., a Chinese enclave.

They can drive down, check on their properties and drive back home, he said.

But the amount of money Chinese investors spend in Whatcom County is nothing compared to what’s happening in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York or Seattle.

“I don’t want to overstate it,” Starr said. “But per capita it’s an incredible amount of money.”

Chinese investors tend to be patient, said Kent, the Blaine real estate

consultant, said.

“While we may take a development parcel and plan on bringing development on within a matter of years Chinese investors are very methodical and often plan in decades or generations,” he said.

How or whether Chinese investment will affect the rest of the county’s economy depends on what investors buy and what sellers do with the cash.

Whether Chinese market conditions will continue to make foreign investment worthwhile also is uncertain.

But Starr, who has in part built his career on Chinese investment in Whatcom County, thinks the surge in interest he’s seen recently is just the beginning.

“I’ve been playing in this market for seven or eight years and at first I thought maybe it’s going to run its course,” Starr said. “But now I think it’s just getting going.”

Finding a niche Starr learned to speak Mandarin at Washington State University in the early 1990s. After graduating, he continued studying Chinese in Taiwan, where he found work as a manufacturing consultant. He helped U.S. companies find

homeless women and children in Snohomish County.

The Brewpub @ MLT, located in Mountlake Terrace, opened its doors to the community’s homeless through several organizations.

The 2015 Snohomish County Camano Association of Realtors Food Drive collected more

Asian factories to manufacture their products.

When he returned to the Northwest he continued doing the same work, which meant he had to travel more than he wanted.

“I thought about what I could do with the Chinese language here locally,” he said. “I started helping people look at real estate and realized there were a lot of Chinese people up here looking to buy real estate.”

Starr got a Certified Commercial Investment Member certification and started advertising properties in both English and Mandarin in 2007.

His style is casual — he doesn’t wear a three-piece suit to interact with buyers in big deals. Instead, he may wear a jacket over his lucky Hard Rock Cafe T-shirt. He prefers to build trust by calculating return on investment for his clients on a notepad with a Sharpie, rather than by driving an expensive car, he said.

In the eight years since he got into real estate he has represented Chinese investors in a couple of dozen commercial real estate sales, ranging from $200,000 condos to an $8 million (another eight) office building in Seattle last month. All but about five of those transactions were in Whatcom County, he said.

When Starr first started marketing Whatcom County properties to Chinese investors, he thought he would be able to interest Chinese buyers living in or near Vancouver, B.C. But now, he’s getting interest in buyers who are actually in China, he said. Those buyers aren’t affected by the Canadian dollar’s decline.

The new Chinese interest comes with new hazards.

“What you run into a lot is a guy who claims to have

than 67,000 pounds of food and raised nearly $43,000 in cash donations for local food banks in Snohomish County this year.

Leading the way this year was Windermere GH of Edmonds, which collected nearly 30,000 pounds of food and raised more than $15,000 on their own.

Finishing second was Windermere JS of Marysville.

all the money in the world, but wants a 120-day feasibility study period — a time window where the property is off the market,” Starr said.

“That window can give him time to try to market the property in China and find a buyer in China for that property.”

Starr recently listed a commercial property for $9.6 million, then later found his listing converted entirely to Mandarin in an advertisement on a Chinese website with a new price — $20 million, he said. If the fraudulent buyer doesn’t flip the property during the feasibility study they won’t close the deal, costing Starr time.

He’s also run into xenophobia. Some people have an attitude that “the Chinese are taking us over,” Starr said. He takes a different view. Many of the projects bought by Chinese investors weren’t going to find a market in Whatcom County, he said.

“A lot of these were failed subdivisions where no one was working and permits were going to expire,” he said. “Here’s someone who is going to put the workers back to work.”

When Starr started marketing Whatcom County properties to Chinese speaking investors, he didn’t think he would ever have so much interest as he does now, he said. The recent interest from buyers who are actually in China surprised him.

“I always thought it would just be Chinese people via Vancouver,” Starr said. “I’d be lying if I said I thought the Chinese flight was going to be so huge.”

IN OUR VIEW | Progress in protecting brains

Taking concussions seriously Without Washington State’s star quarterback Luke Falk playing, the annual Apple Cup competition was a lopsided win for the University of Washington. But it’s all for the good that Falk was held out. Kudos, team doctors, way to go, NCAA. In the not so distant past, Falk would have been allowed to play, simply because he could walk upright and it was such a big game.

Falk was knocked unconscious and suffered a concussion when his head hit the frozen ground after being sacked while playing Colorado on Nov. 21. The injury came a week after Falk appeared to suffer a head injury against UCLA, but was cleared to return in the second half.

During the week before the Apple Cup, rumors abounded that Falk might be able to play, after all. But he obviously didn’t pass the

concussion protocol, and therefore couldn’t suit up. It may be disappointing — to the player, the team, coach and fans —but it’s progress as far as actually trying to protect a player’s health — now and in the future.

Numbers from the nation’s largest brain bank show that 96 percent of the deceased NFL players tested over the past decade had positive results for a degenerative brain disease connected with concussions, ESPN reported in September. This past week, the family of former college and NFL star and football announcer, Frank Gifford, announced that he suffered chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), which can only be diagnosed after death. The family made the news public in “hopes of contributing to the advancement of medical research concerning the

link between football and traumatic brain injury.” And the family wanted to honor Gifford’s commitment to promoting player safety, dating back to his involvement in creating the NFL Players Association, a union representing players’ interests, in 1956, CNN reported.

Since the connection between concussions and CTE has been scientifically shown, and with new concussion research adding to the growing body of knowledge, attitudes about football, and the rules that govern it, are necessarily changing. (If very slowly, in the NFL’s case, despite paying out millions in lawsuits.)

The NCAA and WSU’s medical team keeping Luke Falk out of the Apple Cup is one example. Another is that more and more concerned parents are signing their

young kids up for flag football, at least until they reach their teens, the Wall Street Journal reported earlier this month. The American Academy of Pediatrics recently recommended expanding non-tackling leagues as a way to limit exposure to collisions, the paper reported. (If you don’t think youngsters playing tackle football can really hurt themselves or each other, watch an episode or two of the show “Friday Night Tykes” on the Esquire channel. Yes, it does take place in Texas.)

Education is the key to protecting vulnerable brains; and all brains that play football are vulnerable. Time and rest are the only prescription for healing a brain injury. Not playing due to a head injury isn’t weakness, it’s self-preservation. Brains must come first, even before the team.

The anti-Christ rhetoric of these radical and extreme “Christians” is endangering the lives and well-being of Americans and Christians everywhere.

The loopholes regarding no background checks at gun shows and over the Internet should be closed. This is an important, national security issue that needs to be addressed. If the anti-Christ “Christians” won’t do something about this issue, then anything else they have to say about national security is just political posturing to me.

It is better to be safe than sorry Regarding the letter, “They’re fleeing war, are vetted”: The writer took issue with another letter writer who chose to put the word refugees in quotes, as if to indicate that they were not legitimately fleeing threats in Syria. The fact is that the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security have stated that they cannot possibly vet all the Syrians that Obama intends to bring into this country. Moreover, the Islamic State has bragged that it is using the current refugee crisis in Europe to insert its terrorist operatives into Western nations.

A number of European nations have already apprehended Syrian “refugees” with fraudulent credentials who have been identified as ISIS agents.

According to current reports, the Obama administration is moving to increase and accelerate the number of Syrian refugees who might be admitted into the United States by opening new screening outposts in Iraq and Lebanon.

He wants them here ASAP, and specific locations have been designated to receive them. A number of states have already told the Obama administration that they will not accept them, primarily because they haven’t been, and won’t be, sufficiently vetted.

Newspapers, readers vital to democracy

E

arlier generations believe that male enlistment in the military had an equalizing effect; wars brought men from all classes together to fight for a common cause. Newspapers are the modern (much less dangerous) equivalent, in that they provide a common experience for people of all walks of life, as well as a common investment. My 98-year-old mother-in-law, who has a high-school education, reads the same paper that people with letters after their names read.

A couple of years ago, I saw “Newsies” on Broadway, a musical based on the 1899 New York newsboys’ strike.

It was odd to sit in a theater filled with young fans who were caught up in the plot about newspaper tycoon Joseph Pulitzer’s underpaying and bullying his young hardscrabble newspaper hawkers. I presume many of them wouldn’t dream of reading a newspaper, never mind paying for it. Many get their

DEBRA J. SAUNDERS daily reports from news feeds and Facebook; their information is customized, sort of like a sandwich with the crusts cut off.

When you get your news from Facebook friends and like-minded websites, your politics remain in an echo chamber of stories that validate your worldview. When you open up a newspaper, you don’t know what you are going to read. There will be problems that you probably didn’t anticipate, as well as heroes in unlikely places. Newspapers, like life, are filled with stories that challenge how you think the world works. You consider yourself pro-law enforcement,

for example, but then you discover outrageous abuses in the federal sentencing system that violate all sense of fairness.

Years ago, I began a tradition of using the holidays to rail against federal mandatory-minimum sentences, which in 1993 condemned Clarence Aaron, a young African-American from Alabama, to life without parole for a first-time nonviolent drug conviction. Every year, I asked the president to use his pardon power to commute Aaron’s sentence. President George W. Bush asked his pardon attorney to reconsider Aaron’s petition for clemency; the Justice Department official wrongly recommended against a commutation as he withheld crucial information on the case. In 2013, President Barack Obama acted. Now Aaron is a contributing member of society.

I learned about Aaron through a “Frontline” documentary on federal sentencing abuses, produced by Ofra

Bikel. ProPublica’s Dafna Linzer, now with MSNBC, later reported on the former pardon attorney’s bad-faith move. Engaged readers wrote to the White House to ask for justice. Journalism works best as a group activity.

As I write this, Washington Post reporter and Bay Area native Jason Rezaian is in an Iranian prison after he was convicted for undisclosed crimes and sentenced to a prison term of unknown length. Because I don’t work in Tehran, I go to work every day knowing that the worst thing critics can do is call me names.

People ask me how a conservative can survive working for the liberal San Francisco Chronicle. There’s one core belief I share with my esteemed colleagues — committing journalism. We couldn’t do it, valued reader, without people like you, who care.

What good is Obamacare if care isn’t there?

O

bamacare expanded health insurance to millions of Americans. But what good is insurance if there are no doctors available to treat them?

This month, I found out, first hand. I saw a woman falling through the cracks of the new health care system, and I tried to help her.

The woman — let’s call her Isabella — is a naturalized U.S. citizen and housekeeper for a friend of mine. A few weeks ago, Isabella began having what seemed to be debilitating panic attacks. She was unable DANA MILBANK to work. She stopped eating. She said she thought things would be easier if she were dead. During previous episodes, she had gone to the emergency room or paid doctors out of pocket who gave her prescriptions with no counseling, providing temporary relief at best. She badly needed mental-health treatment — and there was none available.

Obamacare provides mental-health “parity,” meaning mental health is covered as well as any other condition — in theory, an important advance. But in practice, parity was meaningless for Isabella. She is enrolled in one of the CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield plans from the Obamacare exchange, but when my friend and I searched for psychiatrists within 30 miles of Washington that take her plan, the CareFirst website returned none.

Next, we took Isabella to Metro Immediate & Primary Care, an urgent-care clinic; after a two-hour wait, a doctor said “I can’t do anything for you.” A nurse provided a list of psychiatrists who, we learned after calling them, also didn’t take her insurance.

We tried various other places experts suggested. Two could offer no help. The only option offered by the third was a long wait list.

Finally, we found something called Holy Health Care Services, which said Isabella could see a social worker now and a psychiatrist in the middle of next month.

With luck, Isabella will get the treatment that she needs — and with more luck, CareFirst will reimburse her for it.

But that’s hardly a reassuring result. Isabella wouldn’t have found psychiatric help without two educated, connected and persistent advocates representing her. What if you’re not well-off, well-educated or wellconnected and you start hearing voices in your head telling you to shoot people — but you are told by place after place that no doctor is available to see you?

One of those we asked for help with Isabella was my college friend John Santopietro, a psychiatrist who is chief clinical officer for behavioral health in the Carolinas HealthCare System in Charlotte, N.C. He said her experience is typical.

One in five of us needs mental-health treatment at any given time, and for those who get good care, the recovery rate is between 60 percent and 80 percent — higher than in many other medical fields.

But only about 40 percent of the people who need treatment get any help, Santopietro said, and those who do “often get bounced around in a system that leaves them feeling misunderstood, stigmatized, brushed aside.”

Obamacare aimed to improve this woeful system by requiring mental-health parity. But psychiatrists, many of whom stopped taking insurance because of the paltry reimbursement, have yet to rejoin the system. This leaves the public mentalhealth system (clinics that charge on a sliding scale) overloaded.

“What we had is a major expansion of coverage, at least on paper,” said Mark Covall, president of the National Association of Psychiatric Health Systems, a group of 800 mental-health hospitals. Now, “you have insurance but you don’t really have access to these services because these services aren’t readily available.”

Thankfully, a bipartisan group in Congress is trying to fix this. The “Helping Families in Mental Health Crisis Act,” introduced by Rep. (and psychologist) Tim Murphy, R-Pennsylvania, and Rep. (and psychiatric nurse) Eddie Bernice Johnson, D-Texas, attempts, among other things, to reinforce community mentalhealth programs. It has 165 co-sponsors and has already cleared a commerce subcommittee. Similar legislation by Sens.

Chris Murphy, D-Connecticut, and Bill Cassidy, R-Louisiana, attempts to expand the mental-health workforce.

Both could close the gap between what Obamacare promises and what those needing mental-health treatment actually receive.

Iraqi envoy: Paris attack marks new global war

By Lori Hinnant Associated Press

PARIS — The wave of suicide bombers and gunmen who terrorized Paris marked a new stage in the war against extremism that will leave no country in the world untouched, Iraq’s foreign minister said Sunday.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Foreign Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari said Iraq has long known that Islamic State extremists posed a fundamental danger and the Nov. 13 attacks on innocent people enjoying a night

inquiries over the last several months, we finally heard something back.

“We encountered unexpected delays in getting power to the advance school speed zone sign and expect to get power hooked back up in the next month or so. In the meantime, we plan to temporarily cover the flashers,” said Tom Pearce, a spokesman.

State staff are coordinating with the Snohomish County PUD on a fix.

“The sign is an advance

out were a demonstration to the West of the Islamic State group’s determination to sow fear by killing as many people as possible.

A total of 130 people died and hundreds were injured in the attacks on the Bataclan concert venue, bars and restaurants, and the national stadiums.

“The world took too long to react against Daesh and al-Qaida. In 2004, 11 years ago, I said terrorism had no religion, had no country, had no particular beliefs.

And in 2012, I said that we were in a third world war.

Now, you will see that no

country can live in peace, quietly,” al-Jaafari said, using the Arabic acronym for the group, which he said has nothing to do with Islam.

Al-Jaafari spoke on the sidelines of international climate negotiations, which is bringing together more than 140 world leaders. He said the decision to attend the global conference was a sign of solidarity and trust in France’s ability to protect people at the highest level.

Now, he said, countries must take initiative against the group.

He confirmed that Iraq

had warned France and other nations the evening of Nov. 12 of an impending attack, even if few details were available, and said Iraq’s intelligence services are redoubling their efforts.

“In Iraq, we are not only defending ourselves. We are defending your countries. We are defending everyone. Because those who are currently in Iraq can go home, can go back into their countries to commit terrorist acts,” he said.

All the attackers who have been firmly identified were French or Belgium, and many had joined

Islamic State extremists in Syria or Iraq. This comes as little surprise to al-Jaafari, who said the group has become an international breeding ground for extremism.

“It’s the expression of a culture, these actions.

This culture is not linked to a territory. The terrorists who belong to Daesh come from 100 countries.

They are from the world’s greatest democracies,” he said. “What unites them is this hatred they share. They are ready to die. They are ready to kill themselves to take out the largest number

of victims. They detest the entire world and, it must be said, most of the victims are Muslim.”

Al-Jaafari arrived in Paris after the winter sundown, and said he reveled in seeing the city lit at night.

“We cannot cover our heads when faced with this terror and let our communities, our cities, be terrorized, to be afraid.

That is their goal, their objective. Yesterday, when I arrived at the airport to go to the hotel, I saw Paris with all its lights, joyful.

And it was a pleasure to see Paris like that.”

warning sign to inform drivers of a speed zone ahead,” Pearce added. “The actual speed zone begins just west of 42nd Avenue SE, near the east-most driveway to the school.

The speed zone is in effect when the flashers on that sign are flashing. Now that school is back in session, we remind drivers to use caution when traveling through school zones and obey posted school zone speed limits.”

include this added caveat for when a school zone is in effect. School zones require drivers to slow to 20 mph under a variety of conditions set by local authorities.

But what do those words really mean?

It may seem like splitting hairs. But with police departments offering different rules for when school zones are in force, it’s worth a closer look.

The Washington Administrative Code spells it out — and the classroom and playground are not in there.

When a sign uses the “when children are present” language, the 20 mph speed limit is in force when children are in

marked crosswalks, waiting at the curb or shoulder to cross the road, or are walking along the roadway on the sidewalk or shoulder.

This has been tested locally.

“The Marysville Municipal Court Judges have interpreted ‘present’ to mean on the sidewalk or in a crosswalk located in a school zone,” said Marysville Police Commander Robb Lamoureux. “The school zone speed does not apply to kids being on the playground behind a chain link fence.”

The presence of children often is just one condition of a school zone being in force, however.

If a beacon is flashing — or if it’s within a stated time period for the school zone — drivers still should slow down, even if children aren’t around.

For its part, the state is moving away from the “when children are present” verbiage.

WSDOT handles school

zone signage on state highways for cities with populations less than 25,000 and in unincorporated areas.

“WSDOT no longer uses the message ‘When Children Are Present’ primarily due to the confusion on when it is enforceable,” said Pearce, the spokesman.

Past advice from Lamoureux — and other police departments we checked in with — urges drivers to slow down near schools, period.

“Our department enforces school zones during normal school hours,” Officer Aaron Snell said.

But that’s not the only time for concern, he added.

“Even if lights don’t flash or school is not in session, drivers should be aware that children may be around the school and should slow for safety reasons.”

Lynnwood, which uses photo enforcement for some of its school zones, echoes the sentiment and urges drivers to slow down

near schools at all times.

The “when children are present” is meant to capture those unpredictable times when students will be around, such as evening sports games or after-school activities, said Lisa Wellington, a crime prevention specialist for the Lynnwood Police Department. Darker months that make visibility harder are just another reason to go slow.

It really doesn’t take that long, she added.

“It will take the driver an extra 14 to 22 seconds of drive time to pass through,” Wellington said. “Please take those few seconds to relax, be mindful of your surroundings and think of the children in your community and children everywhere.”

Solving the misbehavior-to-consequence equation

DAILY CROSSWORD

The subject of today’s lesson is so-called experts who don’t know what they’re talking about.

As the reader might already have guessed, the so-called experts in question are known as parenting experts. Most people of this ilk have credentials in various fields of mental health. So do I. In my case, the field is psychology, which I happen to believe has caused more problems for American parents than psychologists even know how to solve.

In this column, my books and my public presentations (especially those), I often address the specifics of that charge. The dirty laundry list is too long to cover in one newspaper column, so my focus today will be on the widely-held belief that when a child misbehaves, a consequence must be immediately forthcoming. According to many experts, if a consequence/punishment is not delivered within a few minutes, the child will not be able to make the mental connection between the misbehavior and the consequence.

Rubbish. Actually, there’s a smidgeon of truth to that idea, but no more than a smidgeon. Indeed, because of their short attention spans, the interval between misbehavior and consequence

SUPER QUIZ Subject: NIKOLA TESLA (1856-1943) (e.g., What electric vehicle company is headquartered in Palo Alto, California? Answer: Tesla Motors.)

FRESHMAN LEVEL 1. Nikola Tesla is best known for his design of what system of electrical supply?

2. In the “War of Currents,” Tesla’s opponent was _____.

3. Tesla received a U.S. patent for what type of motor?

GRADUATE LEVEL 4. Tesla’s motor and transformer were licensed by this famous entrepreneur and engineer.

5. Monuments to Tesla can be seen in both the Canadian and American cities of this name.

6. SI base units: If N=Newton and H=Henry, what does T represent?

CLASSIC PEANUTS

JOHN ROSEMOND LIVING WITH CHILDREN must be fairly short with toddlers.

But permanent memories begin to form around the third birthday, at which point parents can delay the delivery of consequences.

With a 3-year-old, the misbehavior-to-consequence interval can be several hours but does not extend to the following day.

With children ages 4, 5, and 6, the interval can be as much as several days. By age 7 or 8, the interval can be extended to a week. And so on. When the consequence is deployed, all parents need say is “Because of what you did (specific past day and time), this is now happening,” and the connection is made!

For example, if a 6-year-old engages in an act of defiance on Wednesday, he will make the connection if told on Saturday that because of his previous insubordination, he is not going

PH.D. LEVEL 7. What was the proper name of his unfinished “Tesla Tower” on Long Island, N.Y.?

8. By what name is the intersection of 6th Avenue and 40th Street in Manhattan known?

9. Tesla: “In the 21st century, the ____ will take the place which slave labor occupied in ancient civilization.”

ANSWERS: 1. Alternating current (AC). 2. Thomas Edison.

3. Induction motor. 4. George Westinghouse. 5. Niagara Falls. 6.

T=Tesla. 7. Wardenclyffe Tower.

8. Nikola Tesla Corner. 9. Robot.

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

to a classmate’s birthday party. A teenager can be informed in June that because of a February experiment with juvenile delinquency, he is not going on vacation with his best friend’s family.

And, yes, I am also saying that parents are under no obligation whatsoever to inform a child of the specifics of a consequence before it is delivered. Simply delay, then dispense. The element of surprise inherent to this approach greatly increases the deterrent effect.

During a fit of pique, my 16-year-old daughter Amy threatened to leave the house without permission. I simply told her, “You make your decisions, Amy, and then I will make mine.” She stormed outside nonetheless. At that point her best friend, knowing the score, reminded Amy that if she left, she (a) would not know what I was going to do and (b) would not know when I was going to do it. Amy promptly stormed back in and voluntarily confined herself to her room for the rest of the day.

Thus saving me the trouble.

Daughter dreads holiday visit to mom in poor health Dear Abby: I gave birth to a baby girl two months ago. I have a wonderful husband and my in-laws are incredible. We live far away from both sides of the family.

My mom is a former cocaine and prescription pain meds addict. Her addiction diminished her mental capacities, and it’s difficult to relate to her because the only things she can talk about are her health issues and all the medications she’s currently taking.

Mom recently came to visit us. I hadn’t seen her in two years, and when she did, I realized we have nothing in common. She and my dad are still happily married, and Dad has yet to meet my child. I’m supposed to visit them for the holidays, but I’d rather spend the time with my in-laws. Any suggestions?

— Nothing In Common In Hawaii Dear Nothing In Common: Yes. Sometimes it’s important to do things we would rather not because they are the right thing to do. Your father is trying to make the best of a difficult situation, and your mother is working to overcome a serious illness — which addiction is.

Make the scheduled visit you committed to, and give your dad the chance to meet his grandchild. If, after that, you decide to permanently distance yourself from your parents, it will be your choice, but you may change your mind.

Dear Abby: My boyfriend of five years, “Jack,” is funny, unique and generally very sweet. I’m currently on disability and working hard to get myself healthy enough to start working again. The problem is, Jack thinks I do nothing but sit on my butt all day.

When I worked, we used RIP HAYWIRE

DEAR ABBY to trade massages to make each other feel relaxed because our jobs were physically demanding.

Now, because I’m not working, he says it’s my “job” to help him relax. I give him a massage every night, but it’s never reciprocated. When I ask him for one, he puts no effort into it and acts like it’s a chore.

I no longer feel loved or special. I feel like a live-in masseuse, but I’m worried that if I stop, there will be no physical contact at all between us. What would be the best way to let him know I’m tired of it? — Rubbed The Wrong Way In Minnesota Dear Rubbed The Wrong Way: Jack doesn’t sound all that “sweet” to me. Because you feel the way you do, tell him how his change of behavior is affecting you.

Touch is important because it helps partners to stay connected. Could it be that Jack’s unwillingness to give you massages is “punishment” because you’re not contributing financially as you did while you were working?

Tell him you miss the closeness you once shared, and that if the shoe were on the other foot, you wouldn’t treat him this way. Depending on what he has to say, suggest that for the sake of your relationship, a compromise may be in order because your partnership is not equal now.

Museum pines for painting 30 years after heist TUCSON, Ariz. — An empty wooden frame once occupied by Willem de Kooning’s “Woman-Ochre” sits at the center of a gallery at the University of Arizona’s Museum of Art in Tucson.

Next to it are the composite drawings of two people police say stole the painting the day after Thanksgiving in 1985. The museum wants to remind visitors of the heist in hopes that a new lead in the 30-year unsolved mystery will appear.

“We have not given up hope about getting the painting back,” Gina Compitello-Moore, the museum’s marketing director, said. “By not having it, it’s almost as if a member of our family is missing.”

The painting by the abstract expressionist was stolen on Nov. 29, 1985 from the small museum that also

This undated image provided

by University of Arizona Museum of Art shows an oil canvas by artist Willem De Kooning, titled: “WomanOchre,” 1954-55, a Gift of Edward Joseph Gallagher, Jr.”

has works by Jackson Pollock and Georgia O’Keeffe.

The museum had just opened when a man and a woman walked in. They

were the sole visitors. The woman, described as being in her mid-50s with shoulder-length reddish and blond hair, distracted the a security guard by making small-talk while the man, who appeared to be in his 20s and wore a mustache and glasses, cut the painting from the large frame, leaving the edges of the canvass attached.

Within minutes, they were gone, taking with them one of the museum’s most important pieces. The painting was valued at about $600,000 when it was stolen.

Brian Seastone, the university’s police chief, was an officer back then who helped investigate the heist.

“The gentleman pretty much knew what he wanted, it appeared, and went upstairs. And after a few minutes they both left

very quickly and it drew the attention of the security officer who was there,” Seastone said. “Since then, it’s kind of become not a legend but one of those things that’s out there that people will talk about once in a while.”

Seastone says the man’s mustache and glasses may have been fake, an effort to disguise himself, and that the woman also may have been in costume.

Compitello-Moore said now is a good time to bring attention to the stolen painting because it could have changed hands by now, and its owner could not know they have a stolen piece.

“We’re happy to have to have the frame in there but we of course wish it were the painting,” she said.

Paul Walker’s father sues Porsche over fatal crash LOS ANGELES (AP) — Paul Walker’s father sued Porsche for negligence and wrongful death Wednesday over the 2013 accident that killed the “Fast & Furious” star.

Walker’s father, who is the executor of his son’s estate, filed the lawsuit claiming that the Porsche Carrera GT that his son was riding in lacked safety features that could have saved the actor’s life.

The lawsuit cites features included in other pending

Silver Bells &Cowbells

lawsuits against the automaker over the crash that might have saved the actor’s life, Paul Walker including a stability control system, side-door reinforcements and a breakaway fuel line to help prevent the car from bursting into flames after a collision.

Walker was on a break

from filming the seventh film in the “Fast & Furious” franchise when he was killed. He was riding in the Carrera GT driven by friend and business associate Roger Rodas when the car spun out of control, struck three trees and burst into flames on a street in Santa Clarita, California.

The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages.

Rodas’ widow, Kristine, who has a pending claim against Porsche in federal court, also filed a wrongful

death lawsuit against the carmaker in state court on Wednesday.

The car company has denied in other lawsuits, including one filed by the actor’s daughter, that it is responsible for Walker’s death. On Nov. 12, Porsche stated in a court filing that the Carrera GT had been altered and improperly maintained and those factors contributed to the deaths of Walker and Rodas.

Herald Writer

SEATTLE — In a game they very much needed to win, and against an opponent that gave them everything they could handle, the Seattle Seahawks are still alive in this season’s NFL playoff chase because they persevered Sunday afternoon in a backand-forth showdown with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Three times Seattle took the lead and three times Pittsburgh took the lead right back. But in the final period the Seahawks were able to move in front a fourth time, and this time they held on for a dramatic 39-30 victory at noisy CenturyLink Field.

The outcome — one that head coach Pete Carroll called “a really strong win” — moves Seattle above .500 for the first time this

✓ Doug Baldwin catches three touchdown passes, C4 ✓ Game stats, C4 ✓ Seahawks corner Jeremy Lane makes his 2015 season debut, C5 ✓ Grades, C5 season at 6-5 with five games remaining. The Seahawks, bidding for a third straight Super Bowl appearance, are squarely in the running for a wild-card berth with a division title also possible, although the latter scenario is increasingly unlikely after NFC West rival Arizona improved to 9-2 with a 19-13 win over San Francisco on Sunday.

Seattle’s margin for error to make the playoffs remains “small,” acknowledged defensive end Cliff Avril, and “it all boils

down to us winning. ... There’s still a lot of football games to be played, and if we continue to keep building I think we’ll like our record at the end of the season.”

Added quarterback Russell Wilson, who overcame an apparent overnight bout with the flu to throw a career-high five touchdown passes: “(This was) a huge win against a very, very good football team. ... We hung in there, kept battling, played relentless football and we found a way to win.”

The victory was costly, too. Seattle tight end Jimmy Graham injured his right knee early in the fourth quarter and will miss the rest of the season with a knee injury.

That was the worst news for the Seahawks in a game of contrasts.

Seahawks’ TE Graham out for season with knee injury

By Todd Fredrickson Herald Writer

SEATTLE — Minutes after he made perhaps his biggest and most impressive catch as a Seattle Seahawk, tight end Jimmy Graham suffered a season-ending knee injury in Seattle’s 39-30 NFL victory over Pittsburgh on Sunday at CenturyLink Field.

“I will tell you that Jimmy did hurt his patellar tendon today, and they tell me already that he’s going to have to have surgery on that,” Seattle head coach Pete Carroll said. “We’re going to miss the heck out of him the rest of the season.

“He’s been a fantastic addition to us, and you saw him again today doing stuff, and he was going to have a huge day today if he was able to stay out there,” Carroll said. “That’s unfortunate.”

Graham was injured early in the fourth quarter when he went up for a deep ball in the end zone See GRAHAM, Page C5

EATTLE — Ladies and gentlemen, like Alice and her amazing adventures in Wonderland, we have stepped through the looking glass.

Black is white, up is down, and the Seattle Seahawks are leaning on their offense.

Say what?

For nearly four years the Seahawks have taken the field every Sunday with their identity firmly established: This is the team that wins with its defense. The team that led the NFL in both fewest yards NICK PATTERSON and fewest points allowed in each of the past two seasons. The team with the secondary with the flashy nickname. When the game is on the line, it’s the defense that steals into a phone booth, does a quick costume change and emerges with a big red “S” on its chest.

Open During Constructio n

Silvertips rout Spokane 5-1 Herald staff SPOKANE — Allowing two short-handed goals contributed to a pair of Everett Silvertips losses during their Alberta trip two weeks ago.

On Sunday, it was the Tips’ first short-handed goal of the season that spurred them to a 5-1 Western Hockey League victory over the Spokane Chiefs before 4,077 fans at Spokane Arena.

The Tips trailed 1-0 late in the first period when Everett rookie Connor Dewar was sent to the penalty box for goaltender interference.

Matt Fonteyne then took advantage of a Spokane turnover near the blue line for a breakaway and beat Chiefs goaltender Matt Berlin for an unassisted goal at 19:43 to tie the game 1-1.

Buoyed by the late first-period tally, the Tips scored three times in the second period, leading to Berlin being pulled. Overage assistant captain Remi Laurencelle continued his torrid pace with two goals and an assist as he increased his point streak to nine games.

Everett (14-7-0-2, 30 points) won its third straight game and moved to within one point of the Chiefs for second place in the U.S. Division, but the Tips have four games in hand. Spokane, playing its fourth game in five days, fell to 14-10-2-1.

Carson Stadnyk gave the Tips the lead for good as he broke a 13-game scoreless drought. His second-period goal gave Everett a 2-1 lead at 7:51 in the second. Stadnyk’s shot from the right circle came off a feed from the middle

by Laurencelle.

The Tips extended their lead to 3-1 at 14:28 when

Matt Fonteyne

Remi Laurencelle

Brandon Ralph scored his first goal of the season as Everett caught Spokane in a line change.

Laurencelle tallied Everett’s third goal of the second period off a feed from Mackenzie Dwyer at 15:31 for a 4-1 lead, at which point Spokane pulled Berlin.

Laurencelle scored again from the right circle at 4:28 in the third for his team-leading 12th goal of the season.

The offensive onslaught came despite the Chiefs scoring the game’s first goal just 1:13 in. Adam Helewka shot from the left circle, and Riley Whittingham tipped it past Carter Hart for the 1-0 advantage.

The Silvertips dominated from that moment forward.

Hart earned the win with 25 saves. The Tips finished with a 27-26 shot advantage. Berlin took the loss with 12 saves on 16 shots.

Notes Captain Dawson Leedahl (lower body injury) and defenseman Kevin Davis (undisclosed injury) were among Everett’s scratches. Spencer Gerth also was scratched . ... Jujhar Khaira became the 15th former Silvertip to play in the NHL when he debuted Saturday for the Edmonton Oilers. The 21-year-old had one shot, a blocked shot and three hits in 10 minutes of ice time in Edmonton’s 3-2 shootout win at Pittsburgh.

Khaira scored 16 goals with 28 assists in 59 games for the Silvertips during the 2013-14 season.

Richt out as Georgia’s coach Associated Press ATLANTA — Mark Richt stepped down as Georgia’s football coach on Sunday in what was called a “mutual” decision but looked like a firing.

Georgia athletic director Greg McGarity said in a statement that he met with Richt on Sunday morning “to discuss the status of our football program.”

McGarity said the two “mutually agreed that he would step down as head coach and would have the opportunity to accept other duties and responsibilities at UGA following the bowl game.”

Attempts by The Herald to reach Lake Stevens star quarterback Jacob Eason, who is one of Georgia’s prized recruits, were unsuccessful on Sunday.

Georgia (9-3) ended its regular season with Saturday’s 13-7 win over Georgia Tech. It seemed clear following the game that Richt had no plans to step down.

He said he planned to begin recruiting “and getting prepared for the future at Georgia.”

Now, his future as Georgia’s coach will include only one game.

Richt will coach the Bulldogs in their bowl game as the search for his successor begins.

Richt had only a short statement in the announcement released by Georgia.

“I appreciate the

opportunity of serving the University as well as considering any other options that may present themselves in the future,” Richt said.

Richt scheduled a meeting with his players for Sunday night. He did not hold his normal Sunday teleconference with reporters.

There has been speculation about Richt’s future since losses to Tennessee, Alabama and Florida ended the Bulldogs’ hopes for a Southeastern Conference championship.

Georgia closed the regular season with four straight wins, but that was not enough to make up for failing to land a spot in the SEC title game. The Bulldogs were the preseason pick in the SEC East.

Richt, 55, acknowledged Saturday the Bulldogs “came up short of our goal” to win the SEC championship.

“That’s the standard here,” Richt said. “Win the SEC and hopefully go beyond that. From that point of view, we fell short of our goals.”

McGarity had praise for Richt, who was 145-51 with two SEC championships in his 15 seasons at Georgia. Only Vince Dooley (201) won more games at Georgia.

A leading candidate to replace Richt could be Alabama defensive coordinator Kirby Smart, a former Georgia safety and assistant coach under Richt.

Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson (28) eludes Atlanta Falcons free safety Ricardo Allen (37) and middle linebacker Paul Worrilow (55) during the second half of Sunday’s game in Atlanta.

Peterson leads Vikings past the slumping Falcons Associated Press ATLANTA — Adrian Peterson was still miffed about his performance the previous week.

He took it out on the Atlanta Falcons.

Bouncing back from a tough loss to Green Bay, Peterson ran for 158 yards and a pair of touchdowns and the Minnesota Vikings beat the slumping Falcons 20-10 Sunday.

Minnesota (8-3) jumped ahead on Peterson’s 1-yard run in the opening quarter and clinched the win when he got loose on a 35-yard scamper down the sideline with 4:15 remaining in the game.

“We took it personal, the loss last week,” Peterson said.

In the 30-13 setback to the Packers, Peterson was held to 45 yards — his lowest output since Week 1. He also had a crucial fumble in the fourth quarter that thwarted any hopes of a comeback.

“It was an opportunity for us to get into the end zone, and I ruined it,” Peterson said.

Against the Falcons (6-5), who came in with the league’s top-ranked defense against the run, Peterson ripped off his

sixth 100-yard game of the season. He also moved into 18th place on the NFL career rushing list with 11,354 yards, passing O.J. Simpson (11,236), Corey Dillon (11,241) and John Riggins (11,352).

“I just come in and try to focus on doing my job and helping my team win,” Peterson said. “I’ll be able to look at those things after the fact.”

For Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan, it was another disappointing day. He threw two more interceptions — he’s got five in the past two games — and heard perhaps the loudest boos of his career from the home crowd after a pick in the end zone.

Atlanta has lost five of its past six games, including four straight, and is in danger of becoming one of the few teams in NFL history to start 5-0 and miss the playoffs.

“It starts with me,” Ryan said.

“I’ve got to know when to throw the ball away, cut my losses, and take the field goal.”

Teddy Bridgewater completed 20 of 28 for 174 yards, though the Minnesota quarterback did throw an interception in the end zone to take potential

points off the board. It didn’t hurt. The Vikings’ defense kept Atlanta out of the end zone until Ryan’s 1-yard touchdown pass to Nick Williams with 1:28 remaining.

Minnesota really clamped down on Atlanta star wide receiver Julio Jones, holding him to 56 yards on five catches.

The Vikings reclaimed a onegame lead over Green Bay in the NFC North, taking advantage of the Packers’ loss to Chicago on Thanksgiving night. The Vikings play the defending NFC champion Seattle Seahawks (6-5) on Sunday in Minnesota.

Atlanta’s Tevin Coleman, starting for injured running back Devonta Freeman, had the first 100-yard game of his career, finishing with 110 yards on 18 carries.

Coleman broke off the longest run of his career in the first quarter, but the 46-yard scamper was wasted when the rookie failed to keep a firm grip on the ball, allowing linebacker Anthony Barr to come up from behind and punch it away. Minnesota’s Antone Exum fell on the loose ball at the Minnesota 21, giving Coleman his third lost fumble of the season.

DENVER — Tom Brady lost yet another one of his trusted targets and this time he also lost a game.

C.J. Anderson scored on a 48-yard run with 12:32 left in overtime, lifting the Denver Broncos past the New England Patriots 30-24 on a snowy Sunday night.

Watching from the cozy indoors at field level was Peyton Manning as Brock Osweiler and the Broncos (10-2) overcame a 21-7 fourth-quarter deficit and handed the Patriots (11-1) their first loss since 2014.

“It didn’t look good at times,” Broncos coach Gary Kubiak said, “but we figured out a way to get it done.”

Now, the Carolina Panthers (11-0) are the NFL’s only remaining unbeaten team.

Osweiler threw a 3-yard touchdown pass to Bubba Caldwell with 1:09 remaining in regulation to put the Broncos up 24-21. But Brady, playing without injured star tight end Rob Gronkowski, needed just five plays to drive the Patriots 51 yards and into range for Stephen Gostkowski’s 47-yard field goal that tied the game at the end of regulation.

New England won the coin toss and elected to receive, but thanks to a sack by Von Miller, Denver forced a three-and-out.

Then, on third-and-1 from the New England 48, Anderson raced around the left sideline and into the end zone.

Gronkowski injured his right knee with 2:49 left in regulation and was carted off. There was no immediate word on his status.

Overall, the Broncos ran for 179 yards, particularly impressive given their twotouchdown deficit for much of the first half and the 21-7 hole they found themselves in after Brady threw a 63-yard scoring pass to Brandon Bolden on the first play of the fourth quarter.

The Patriots managed just 39 yards on 16 carries, however.

Osweiler improved to 2-0 since taking over for Manning.

He completed 23 of 42 passes for 270 yards with one TD and one interception. Brady also was 23 of 42 for 280 yards with three TDs and no interceptions. Brady’s three TD tosses put him in a tie with Dan Marino for third on the career list.

SUNDAY | Roundup

Cardinals rally to win their fifth straight Associated Press SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Carson Palmer ran 8 yards for the go-ahead touchdown with 2:28 remaining as Arizona squeaked past San Francisco 19-13 Sunday.

It was the Cardinals’ fifth straight win and first road victory in the series since 2008.

Following Palmer’s touchdown run, Chandler Catanzaro missed the extra-point try, and Blaine Gabbert and the 49ers (3-8) had one more chance with 2:21 left. Arizona clinched the win when Anquan Boldin caught an 18-yard pass on fourth-and-20.

The Cardinals (9-2) have nine wins in their first 11 games in consecutive seasons for the first time in franchise history.

Texans 24, Saints 6 HOUSTON — Brian Hoyer threw for 205 yards and two touchdowns and the Texans held Drew Brees and New Orleans without a touchdown for the first time in 10 years.

The Texans (6-5) have won four straight for the first time since winning six in a row in 2012.

New Orleans (4-7) dropped its third straight on a day when Brees’ streak of games with a touchdown

pass was snapped at 45.

The last time the Saints didn’t score a touchdown was Dec. 24, 2005, against Detroit, and Brees’ last game without a TD pass came on Nov. 29, 2012, against Atlanta.

Bengals 31, Rams 7 CINCINNATI — Andy Dalton threw three touchdown passes — two of them to A.J. Green — and Cincinnati ended its brief slide.

After dropping a pair of primetime games, the Bengals (9-2) were back in sync against a team that struggles to score. The Bengals’ 31 points equaled the second-most against St. Louis this season.

The Rams (4-7) have dropped four in a row. Nick Foles returned as the starting quarterback and threw three interceptions, including one that Leon Hall returned 19 yards for a touchdown.

Colts 25, Buccaneers 12 INDIANAPOLIS — Former Seahawk Matt Hasselbeck threw for 315 yards and two touchdowns and Adam Vinatieri made four field goals for the Colts.

The Colts (6-5) won their third straight to remain tied atop the AFC South with Houston.

Tampa Bay rookie Jameis Winston threw for 245 yards and a touchdown, but was sacked five times — four coming during a second half in which the Bucs (5-6) were shut out.

Jets 38, Dolphins 20 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Ryan Fitzpatrick threw four touchdown passes, two to Brandon Marshall, and the Jets gained some traction in the AFC wild-card race.

Fitzpatrick also connected with rookie Devin Smith and Eric Decker in New York’s fourth win in the past five meetings with Miami. The Jets (6-5) had lost four of their past five overall.

Miami (4-7) has dropped four of five and is 3-4 under interim coach Dan Campbell, who took over after Joe Philbin was fired following the Dolphins’ lopsided loss to the Jets in London.

Redskins 20, Giants 14 LANDOVER, Md. — Kirk Cousins threw a 63-yard touchdown pass to DeSean Jackson and scored on a quarterback sneak, Washington intercepted Eli Manning three times, and the Redskins pulled into a tie for the NFC East lead.

The Redskins and Giants are both 5-6. The Philadelphia Eagles (4-7) and Dallas Cowboys (3-8) are the other members of the mediocre division.

Raiders 24, Titans 21 NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Derek Carr threw a 12-yard touchdown pass to Seth Roberts with 1:21 remaining, and Oakland ended a three-game

losing streak.

The Raiders (5-6) handed the Titans (2-9) their ninth loss in 10 games. Tennessee had taken a 2117 lead and the Titans thought they had a game-saving play when safety Michael Griffin broke up a pass in the end zone on fourth down. But officials flagged B.W. Webb for holding on the other side of the field. Two plays later, Carr hit Roberts for the winning TD.

Chiefs 30, Bills 22 KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Alex Smith threw for 255 yards and two touchdowns, Spencer Ware ran for 114 yards and a score, and the Chiefs won their fifth straight.

Tyrod Taylor had 291 yards passing and three touchdowns for Buffalo (56), but he was mostly held in check in the second half. So was Sammie Watkins, who had all six catches for 158 yards and his two touchdowns over the first 30 minutes.

Chargers 31, Jaguars 25 JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Philip Rivers threw four touchdown passes, two to Antonio Gates, and the Chargers (3-8) ended a six-game losing streak by beating Jacksonville (4-7).

Rivers passed Joe Montana (273) and tied Vinny Testaverde (275) for 11th on the NFL’s career touchdown pass list.

Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin runs down the field on a 80-yard touchdown pass with 2:01 to play in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s game.

Baldwin plays ‘incredible’ game Seahawks wide receiver catches 6 passes for 145 yards and 3 TDs

By Rich Myhre

The PAT by place-kicker Steven Hauschka gave the Seahawks a 39-30 margin, and it became the final score at CenturyLink Field.

Baldwin’s touchdown reception — his third of the game, a career best for the fifth-year receiver — came as the Steelers were sending extra pass rushers at Wilson.

“We lined up and I knew it was man-to-man (coverage) right away,” Baldwin said. “I kept shaking my head like, ‘Russ, just give

me a chance,’ and he did. He threw the ball a little early — it caught me (by surprise) — but he gave me a chance and I was able to make something happen with it.”

“Doug did a good job of getting open there,” Wilson said. “I threw it quick to him, just so he could catch it and run, and he made a phenomenal run. He got off the (defenders by breaking tackles) and just accelerated to the end zone.”

Said Seahawks head coach

Pete Carroll: “Doug Baldwin’s game was incredible ... The crossing route that Doug scored on was just a crazy catch. He barely got sight of the ball and somehow held onto it. A great finish by Tyler, too, to spring him.”

In addition to his three touchdown catches (he is the first Seattle receiver to do so since Joey Galloway against Oakland on Oct. 26, 1997), Baldwin also had 145 receiving yards, another career high.

“Obviously Doug had a phenomenal game,” said Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman of Baldwin, who had six catches in the game. “You have to give him all the credit in the world today.

He should be giving a press conference of some sort and be getting some recognition for Pro Bowls, but of course he won’t because we’re a running offense and he’s an average receiver if you hear the media (talk about him). ... But we’re so happy for the game he played today.”

“I always expect (good things) out of our skill guys,” said offensive tackle Russell Okung. “We want to get the ball in the hands of our playmakers and let them make a big play, and Doug was able to do that today.”

offense struggled to move the ball effectively either on the ground or in the air, but the defense kept the Cowboys out of the end zone from start to finish in a 13-12 win.

But the other way around? It just hasn’t happened. Russell Wilson took over as Seattle’s quarterback at the beginning of the 2012 season. Since then the Seahawks hadn’t won a game in which the opposition scored more than 24 points.

Until now.

“I know that’s not a stat that sticks out on weekly basis, but it’s something that I’ve paid attention to and that we as an offense have paid attention to,” Baldwin said about the 24-point threshold. “We wanted to do better in those situations. We didn’t want to just lean on our defense all the time. So to me it means a lot.”

And it meant everything to the Seahawks on Sunday. Seattle’s defense was anything but its usual dominating self as Pittsburgh’s quarterbacks threw the ball from CenturyLink all the way to Xfinity Arena in downtown Everett. Ben Roethlisberger and Landry Jones combined for 480 yards passing, which was the second-most Seattle allowed in a game franchise history — eclipsed only by the 494 yards

the Air Coryell San Diego Chargers dropped on the Seahawks in 1985. Those are the type of numbers that make the Legion of Boom go bust.

But on this occasion the roles were reversed, with the offense picking up the defense when the defense seemed down and out.

Wilson was imperious.

Seattle’s quarterback woke up Sunday morning feeling unwell, requiring three IVs while he was on the sidelines. He began the game looking like someone who had trouble rolling out of bed, completing just one of his first five passes for 11 yards.

After that? Wilson was 20-for-25 for 334 yards and five touchdowns. His 345 total passing yards and five TDs were both career highs.

“That’s big for our offense to put some points on the board and give us a little break, a little breather,” Chancellor said.

“The offense made their plays,” Chancellor added. “Russell had a great game back there, (running back Thomas Rawls), everybody over there, man.

Everybody over there is capable of making plays and they did it when they had their chances to.

It just shows the true definition of team ball.

“You can’t do it individually, you can’t do it by yourself.”

Too often this season Seattle’s defense has been asked to do just that, and more often than the past three seasons the defense has not been up to the task. So seeing the offense step up and win the game was a welcome sight for the Seahawks, especially now that a playoff spot is back within their grasp. At 6-5 Seattle moved into the NFC’s final wild-card position, ahead of the Atlanta Falcons on a tiebreaker, and inexplicably it may actually fall to the offense rather than the defense to drag Seattle to the finish line.

“It was kind of an unorthodox way to play and win the football game, but that’s what we had to do today,” Seattle head coach Pete Carroll said.

“I think, as we continue to play football, we can count on to win games in tough situations in a number of different ways and all that,” Carroll added. “It gives us the chance and the hope that we can go get another one.”

Even if it’s the offense instead of the defense that needs to do the fetching.

Herald Writer

SEATTLE — In a game of big plays, quarterback Russell Wilson and wide receiver Doug Baldwin combined for one of the biggest of this Seattle Seahawks season Sunday afternoon.

With just over two minutes to play in the fourth quarter, and with Seattle trying to protect a 32-30 lead against Pittsburgh, the Seahawks lined up on thirdand-10 at their own 20-yard line.

A first down would go a long way toward ensuring a victory over the visiting Steelers.

As it turned out, Seattle got all that and more.

On a simple crossing route — one intended to pick up the necessary 10 yards for a first down — Baldwin made the reception at the 30 and broke the tackle attempt of Pittsburgh safety Mike Mitchell at the 32.

Cornerback Antwon Blake was also in pursuit, but Baldwin broke his tackle attempt near the 40 and was suddenly in the clear.

Blake had one last chance to overtake Baldwin downfield, but speedy Seattle wide receiver Tyler Lockett hustled into position to throw a shoulder block that allowed Baldwin to score easily.

So it was an unfamiliar feeling Sunday afternoon at CenturyLink Field when it was Seattle’s offense that bailed out the defense for a change, with Russell Wilson and company leading the charge in the Seahawks’ 39-30 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

“We expect our defense to shut everybody out, so you never go into a game thinking, ‘OK, we’re going to have to score this many points,’” said Seattle receiver Doug Baldwin, who had a career day with six catches for 145 yards and three touchdowns. “We knew we just needed to take advantage of our opportunities when we were given them. We were able to do that efficiently today.”

Over the past three-plus seasons Seattle’s defense has regularly bailed out the offense when the Seahawks had trouble moving the ball. Just this season there’s the example of the Detroit Lions game, when strong safety Kam Chancellor needed to force a miracle fumble at the goal line in order to preserve Seattle’s 13-10 victory. Or against the Dallas Cowboys, when the

Here’s how the Seattle Seahawks grade out in their 39-30 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday:

456 passing yards to Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, but also got four interceptions (two off Roethlisberger, two off backup Landry Jones). And when the Seahawks surrendered a fourth-quarter lead — something that has happened in their five defeats this season — they countered with two late touchdown passes to wide receiver Doug Baldwin, the second covering 80 yards in the closing minutes.

Pittsburgh’s last-gasp possession ended when Seattle safety Kam Chancellor made a leaping interception of a tipped pass with 1:45 to play in the game.

“There were a lot of exciting things that happened in this football game,” said Carroll, who added, “(The Steelers) challenged us to the max, (but) we had what needed today to get it done.”

“It’s about finishing,” said Seahawks wide receiver Jermaine Kearse. “There’s a couple of games we didn’t finish (this season), and Pete’s always going to preach about how it’s not how you start, it’s about finishing the game. ... It comes down to who’s going to make the plays (at the end), and I felt like we did that today.”

Said Baldwin: “This is an unbelievable win for us. Don’t discredit the Steelers — they came in with a wonderful game plan and they fought really hard — but fortunately we were able to pull it out.”

Ahead for the Seahawks are road games against Minnesota and Baltimore the next two weeks. The schedule then brings the Seahawks back to Seattle for games against Cleveland and St. Louis before the regular-season finale at Arizona.

“We have to get on top of this .500 thing and get going here if we’re going to have a chance,” Carroll said. “As we continue to play football, if we can count on winning games in tough situations in a number of different ways ... it gives us the chance and the hope that we can go get another one.

“And that’s all that it is right now,” he said. “It’s a one-game opportunity going forward and now we’ll see if we can get another one.”

Graham From Page C1

with Pittsburgh cornerback Antwon Blake. He landed awkwardly and immediately grabbed his right knee.

Graham’s leg was placed in a splint, and he left the playing field on the back of a cart.

“To lose him really hurts,” Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson said. “He’s such a great teammate. He’s a phenomenal football player, but an even better person.

We just have to be there for him in that way.”

Moments before the injury, Graham set up a touchdown with an acrobatic catch on another long pass from Wilson. Racing down the left sideline, Graham went up high over Steelers safety Mike Mitchell to get his hands on the ball, bobbled it twice and finally secured it an instant before hitting the ground.

The 36-yard gain put the ball at the Pittsburgh 1-yard line, and running back Thomas Rawls scored a touchdown on the next play to bring Seattle back to one point behind at 21-20 late in the third quarter.

Graham came to Seattle in a trade with New Orleans for standout center Max Unger.He was seen as an answer to Seattle’s lack of touchdown-scoring punch, and he was becoming an important part of Seattle’s offense.

He will finish this season with 48 receptions for 605 yards and two touchdowns, second on the team behind wide receiver Doug Baldwin.

“He was having an unbelievable game with some great plays,” fellow tight end Luke Willson said of Graham. “Everybody loves him. Great guy in the locker room, and an extremely hard worker. A guy with his type of talent, to see him work as hard as he does, it’s pretty cool.

“You never want to see that happen to anyone in the NFL, let alone a guy like Jimmy.”

Offense

It hasn’t been often in recent A years that the Seahawks’ offense was called upon to win a

game when the defense struggled, but in this game it came through when it was needed most. Quarterback Russell Wilson overcame illness to throw five touchdown passes — three to Doug Baldwin, two to Jermaine Kearse — and Seattle was able to withstand the loss of tight end Jimmy Graham to a seasonending knee injury, though he’ll be missed the remainder of the season.

Defense

What a strange day for Seattle’s C pass defense. The Seahawks allowed 480 passing yards, the most the team has allowed in a game since 1985. But Seattle also picked off four passes, with three of those leading to Seahawks touchdowns.

And while Seattle got torched down the middle, cornerbacks Richard Sherman and DeShawn Shead kept Pittsburgh’s main threats, Antonio Brown and Martavis Bryant, relatively quiet.

Feeling bad feels good Seahawks’ Lane plays first game since he was injured in Super Bowl

By Todd Fredrickson Herald Writer

SEATTLE — Seattle Seahawks cornerback Jeremy Lane never felt so good while feeling so bad.

“All my injuries that I had, I felt from last year,” Lane said after helping the Seahawks beat Pittsburgh 39-30 in an NFL game Sunday at CenturyLink Field.

“My groin injury. My arm was hurting. My knee was hurting. My right hamstring was hurting,” Lane said. “Man, I was just hurting out there.”

“I played more than what I thought I was going to play, but I made it through.”

Lane was in uniform for the first time this season after suffering a gruesome arm injury in the Super Bowl in February.

He was expecting to play almost exclusively on special teams, and he made a huge play

in that part of the game early when the Steelers attempted a fake punt on the first play of the second quarter.

Lane intercepted the pass from backup quarterback Landry Jones and returned it 54 yards to the Pittsburgh 24-yard line. Six plays later the Seahawks scored their first touchdown of the game.

Two things happened during the return that were memorable. One was that Lane ran out of gas and fell down without being tackled. The other is that he had a flashback to the arm injury in the Super Bowl, which happened on an interception return.

“Of course, yeah, I did,” Lane said when asked about thinking back to that. “It was such a relief. It was a real flashback, but the good part is I didn’t get hurt this time.”

That wasn’t the end for Lane, however, as he was pressed into

duty on defense when Marcus Burley left the game in the third quarter with an ankle injury.

Lane played the rest of the game as the nickel defensive back and generally held up well against Pittsburgh’s high-flying passing attack.

“He didn’t expect to play this kind of minutes in this game, so you have to give him a little leeway on that,” Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman said.

“It was hard on him, but we had injuries so he had to step in there. But he played, and he played a heck of a game.”

Lane bears a ghastly scar on his left forearm as a reminder of the surgery that was required to repair shattered bones, and he said it was like a dream to come running out of the tunnel before the game.

“It was emotional for me. I’m surprised I didn’t cry,” he said.

“It felt good, though. I couldn’t wait to get out on the field.”

Steelers attack Seattle with air attack

By Todd Fredrickson Herald Writer

SEATTLE — They made no attempt to hide it.

The Pittsburgh Steelers were going to win or lose Sunday’s NFL game on the right arm of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and their stellar receiving corps.

It was bombs away from the first series until the very end, and they piled up some bodacious statistics along the way.

Roethlisberger passed for 456 yards before leaving the game late in the fourth quarter with an injury.

But the Seattle defense made enough big plays in return, and when the smoke cleared the Seahawks walked away from a wild shootout with a 39-30 victory at CenturyLink Field.

“We feel like we got a win over a very, very good football team,” Seattle head coach Pete Carroll said. “They were on it today, and hard to stop. Their quarterback, Ben, was fantastic and their catchers were great.

“They challenged us to the max,” Carroll said. “(But) we had what we needed.”

What they got was a seasonhigh four interceptions, and they held Roethlisberger to one

touchdown pass. Twice in the second half the Seahawks (6-5) held the Steelers (6-5) to a field goal inside the 10-yard line.

The turnovers and the hardnosed play in the red zone made the difference.

“To get those yards, they had to put it up and take some chances, and our guys came through with the big plays that’s just been missing in our game,” Carroll said. “It gave us opportunities for field position and stopped some drives and momentum. It was really important to feel that during the game.”

It didn’t take long to figure out the Steelers’ game plan as Roethlisberger was in the shotgun formation with an empty backfield on the first two plays of the game. He threw passes on Pittsburgh’s first seven offensive snaps.

And that was just warming up.

The Steelers also started the second half with seven straight pass plays, and the last time Roethlisberger handed off was with seven and half minutes left in the third quarter.

Incredibly, the Steelers’ last 28 offensive play calls were passes, although two of them became runs on the stat sheet

because Roethlisberger scrambled for positive yardage.

When all was said and done, Roethlisberger threw 55 passes, and backup quarterback Landry Jones threw four, one of them on a fake punt and three more after Roethlisberger left the game in the final minutes with a possible concussion.

Altogether, they completed 37 of 59 passes for 490 yards.

“I knew they were going to throw a lot,” Seattle safety Kam Chancellor said. “I expected them to throw the ball a lot and put the ball in (Roethlisberger’s) hands for him to try to win the game for them.”

The stars seemed perfectly aligned for Roethlisberger to have a big day.

The Steelers are a big-play team anyway, and Seattle was giving DeShawn Shead his first career start at cornerback.

Shead is a career safety, but he was pressed into duty at cornerback because Cary Williams has been ineffective.

“We knew that they were going to try and attack us because of the matchup,” Seattle safety Earl Thomas said. “It’s a good matchup in their hands, but I think we did a good job of guys stepping in.”

Seattle came up huge when it B sniffed out Pittsburgh’s fake field goal and turned it into a gamechanging interception by Jeremy Lane. Tyler Lockett also had his best effort in the return game since early in the season. However, kicker Steven Hauschka had an extra point blocked for the second straight week, and the Seahawks had a few hiccups in their own return coverage.

Coaching

The Seahawks’ offensive play B calling got a lot right Sunday.

The scheme in the passing game

created all kinds of openings, particularly in scoring position as Seattle scored touchdowns on several different patterns, and the Seahawks did a good job making Graham a factor on third down before he was injured. The decision to have Sherman shadow Brown also worked well, but Seattle never really figured out how to stop Pittsburgh’s passing game.

Overall

The Seahawks hadn’t won B+ a game against a team with a winning record until now. Though the defense was anything but perfect, the offense was there to pick up the slack. Seattle seemed down and out two weeks ago after losing at home against Arizona to fall to 4-5. Two weeks later the Seahawks inexplicably find themselves in possession of the final NFC wild-card slot.
