Somers prepping for office The next council executive has chosen who won’t be returning but is still considering who will fill various roles.

By Noah Haglund Herald Writer

EVERETT — Dave Somers has started assembling a team for when he takes office as

Snohomish County executive, but some of the biggest decisions remain.

The executive-elect has informed three county department leaders they won’t be

staying on next year. They are: planning director Clay White, emergency management director John Pennington and information services director Gage Andrews.

Somers will mull those vacancies as he also rounds out management and advisory positions in his

administration-to-be. He likened it to a new head coach taking over a football program.

“In those three areas, I just felt there needed to be a change.

They’re all competent and have done positive things for Snohomish County,” Somers said.

Success rises from disaster

STEM project created as a way to help Stilly Valley recover from Oso

ANDY BRONSON / THE HERALD

Students Aaron Colson (from left) Peyton Young and Darin Sedenius react as they contact businesses to ask them for donations of parts for a solarpowered go-kart while working on STEM projects at Darrington Middle High School on Wednesday. The Darrington STEM pilot project that started more than a year and a half ago has grown quickly. There’s an outdoor elementary school, middle school water research, high school coding and programming mentorships.

DARRINGTON — What started as an experiment in outdoor education for a small, rural community has grown into a far-reaching program meant to break down barriers between the classroom and the rest of the world.

The Darrington Youth Outdoor STEM Pilot Project, launched in August 2014, began as a way to help the Stillaguamish Valley recover after the deadly 2014 Oso mudslide.

Early shot at learning Spanish Eighth-graders in Everett will have the option of taking it as an elective in the next academic year but some are not happy with the plan.

By Chris Winters Herald Writer

EVERETT — All eighth-graders in the Everett School District will have the option of Spanish as an elective in the 2016-2017 academic year, giving them another early shot at earning high school credit.

Some of those eighth-graders might complete their two mandatory World Language credits by the end of their freshman year of high school. But an even better alternative is for those students who stick with the language through their senior year.

That would make a wider variety of Advanced Placement options available.

The school board for Everett Public Schools on Tuesday approved the plan, although it was changed from the district’s initial proposal after concerns were expressed about eliminating one semester of mandatory physical education to free up more slots for electives, including Spanish.

Eliminating one semester of gym class came with the support of some parents who wanted their children to take a full year of some other elective, such as art, music or technology and robotics, in addition to Spanish, associate superintendent of curriculum, assessment and special programs Tony Byrd told the board.

Several P.E. teachers protested that plan and the district’s process.

Citing the need for a full year of gym class, Penny Wilder, a P.E. teacher at Evergreen Middle School, told the board, “National data shows obesity continues to rise, with no end in sight.

Somers: All were Reardon appointees From Page A1

“The best analogy I can put on it is that when a new coach comes in, they bring in new coaches who fit the team.”

Somers, a four-term county councilman from the Monroe area, beat incumbent Executive John Lovick in the Nov. 3 election.

The executive is the top elected official for Washington’s third-largest county, responsible for an overall workforce of 2,800 and an annual operating budget of about $230 million. Departments directly under the executive’s authority include public works, parks and Paine Field, as well as planning, emergency management and information services.

Turnover is common when a new leader takes over in government.

mostly in place when he was appointed to replace the scandal-ridden Aaron Reardon in 2013. Some of Reardon’s staff left the executive’s office, but landed jobs elsewhere in the county.

The three department heads that Somers is letting go all were Reardon appointees.

“It’s not a statement that they did anything wrong or weren’t performing well,” Somers said. “These are very hard decisions and I don’t like affecting peoples’ lives.”

The new executive acknowledged White’s popularity among Planning and Development Services staff since assuming leadership of the department in 2010.

“It has been an amazing (five-plus) years and I feel so fortunate and blessed to have been given the opportunity to serve in this

position,” White wrote in a Dec. 7 email to staff.

When White took over, the planning department was still reeling from layoffs during the recession and the ouster of the former director, Craig Ladiser, who pleaded guilty to a drunken, sexually motivated assault of a woman at a building-industry golf tournament.

Pennington was named the county’s emergency director in 2006. Before that, he was a four-term Republican member of the state House who had served with Reardon in the Legislature. He was a George W. Bush administration appointee in 2001 to serve as director of FEMA Region 10, overseeing disaster readiness and response in Washington, Idaho, Oregon and Alaska.

During his tenure as executive he helped steer an expansion of commercial airline flights to Sea-Tac Airport instead of Snohomish County, led Sound Transit through a successful ballot measure after an earlier attempt failed, and oversaw a major overhaul of the county campus in downtown Everett.

Kindergartners had Forest Fridays, where teachers took them outside to observe nature. Darrington is hosting students and teachers from Tesla High School in Redmond, which specializes in science, technology, engineering and math.

Tesla students plan to teach coding while Darrington students show their guests how to test water quality.

Teamwork has fueled the Glacier Peak Institute’s success, director Oak Rankin said. He tries to blur the lines between different subjects and between small towns and big cities.

“The amount of time youth spend outside has decreased,” he said. “What’s going up is screen time, and that’s true for rural youth as well as urban.”

He relies on help from organizations such as Tesla and IslandWood.

IslandWood focuses on environmental stewardship and problem solving, said Sapna Sopori, director of the overnight program.

“We encourage students to take academic risks,” she said. “You don’t always have to be right.”

That’s the type of learning being promoted in Darrington, too. Students from kindergarten through high school have gone bug

collecting, water sampling, eagle watching and brush planting. They’ve taken on community projects and finished lessons in the woods on the nearby archery range. It’s different from the rest of the curriculum, elementary Principal Tracy Franke said.

“It takes them from skimming the surface to getting more into the topics that really impact our community,” she said. “It also gets our kids to see that there’s a world beyond our valley and a lot of opportunities.”

Groups of middleschoolers picked out yearlong projects. Wednesdays are their work days.

Students put the most effort into their own ideas, longtime teacher Chuck Quantrille said.

“What we’ve done in the past is work on little projects, but now they’re doing things that really change the community,” he said.

Several groups are piecing together oral histories.

They’re gathering stories from people who have lived in Darrington for decades to create a series

of videos.

“We’re just a little tiny town compared to this huge world,” sixth-grader Olivia Slate said. “And we want people to know about our town, too.”

Two teams are building bat houses and tracking bat populations. Alex Valliere, Jorgan Sedenius, Shane Jacobs and Caleb Rivera plan to build three different types of houses and set up cameras to see which one bats prefer. Kael Lynd, Amanda Brown and Mikah Dewberry plan to put houses in different locations to see if there are more bats by the river, in the woods or near town.

Isabelle Burtenshaw, Hannah Hornick and Eden Dominquez are working with the U.S. Forest Service to try to reintroduce fishers to the wild. Fishers are small animals in the weasel family that were nearly wiped out by fur trading and habitat loss.

“They’re really adorable,” Hornick said.

“They were disappearing and we’re wanting to know where they’re at,” Burtenshaw added.

Another group got a grant to buy a robotics kit.

“You have to do math and science and reading to build a robot,” sixth-grader Elizabeth Marsh said.

Seventh-grader Darin Sedenius and his friends are working on adapting a gas-powered go-kart to run off solar power. He’s learning about motors, batteries and converters as he rounds up supplies.

Teacher Cameron Ross shifts gears on “STEM days” from instructor to sounding board. He encourages students to choose their own questions and find the answers, he said.

Moving forward, Rankin plans to start more afterschool activities. He wants students to see themselves as scientists, engineers, artists and adventurers.

“The world around them can be a world-class classroom,” he said. “It’s really an empowering model when you interact with a world you didn’t realize was there until you started playing with it as a scientist.”

in information technology for the city of Tucson, Arizona. He was tasked with streamlining customer service and other issues, but Auditor Carolyn Weikel identified a host of shortcomings in the department while it was under her oversight in 2013 and 2014.

Andrews also had a dual role as the county’s public records officer.

Somers said he’s giving deep thought to his top appointment, the post of deputy executive.

“It’s extremely important to get that right,” he said.

“I’m very comfortable taking the time I need until I get the right person.”

He need look no further than the past two county executives to appreciate what’s at stake.

Under Lovick, Deputy Executive Mark Ericks’ heavy-handed style created rifts with a majority of the County Council. Ericks had

a lead role in the county’s courthouse-replacement project, a $162 million debacle that imploded over the summer as crews prepared to break ground. He resigned in September.

One Reardon deputy executive, Mark Soine, resigned in 2010 after a consultant found a pattern of sloppy investigations into workplace harassment complaints. Soine’s secretive conduct fueled distrust of the executive’s office. The atmosphere improved tremendously after Reardon called on then-Edmonds Mayor Gary Haakenson to serve as his second-incommand. Haakenson not only understood how to manage, but also cultivated good working relationships among county leaders.

As he moves forward, Somers said he has sought advice from former County Executive Bob Drewel.

Drewel, the executive from 1991 to 2003, now serves as a senior adviser to the president at Washington State University North

Burglar back behind bars A Seattle man who was serving half his prison term out of custody is accused of ramming a deputy’s patrol car.

By Diana Hefley Herald Writer

EVERETT — A Seattle man’s legal troubles are adding up after he allegedly rammed a Snohomish County sheriff’s deputy’s patrol car last month.

Zachary Manyon, 28, was on community custody under a special sentencing alternative for drug offenders when

the incident happened in south Everett.

He was convicted in 2012 of multiple counts of burglary in King County. He was allowed to serve half his prison sentence out of custody, according to court records.

He is back behind bars in the Snohomish County Jail. Prosecutors recently charged him with second-degree assault

in connection with a violent encounter with a sheriff’s deputy.

The incident started out as a traffic stop Nov. 25. A deputy noticed that Manyon was driving a car without a front license plate.

The deputy pulled behind the car as Manyon turned in the parking lot of Wynnwood Condominiums in the 900 block of 132nd Street. SW. Manyon drove to the back of the complex and stopped in front of a locked gate that separates two buildings.

Manyon allegedly rammed

the gate and sped through the complex. The deputy was familiar with the layout of the parking lot and knew there was only one exit. He met up with suspect at a dead end.

Manyon stopped but put his car in reverse. Instead of backing around the patrol car, Manyon drove at the deputy and slammed into the right front side of the car, Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Toni Montgomery wrote.

Expect tolls to keep rising T

ime is money.

The cost of that time in the I-405 express toll lanes has been climbing since they opened Sept. 27, hitting the $10 maximum for the first time during a post-flood morning commute Thursday.

The vast majority of toll-lane drivers weren’t actually paying $10, a high fee meant to dissuade too many more vehicles from entering the lanes.

Still, it’s a sign that plenty of people are forking over cash to merge left.

Jeryl Garrett commutes from Stanwood to Bellevue once a week and pays to travel the toll lanes. The highest she’s paid is $7.

“If it had been ($10) I would still have taken it — complained and grumbled, but taken it. My commute is just too long not to,” Garrett said.

Brian Derr, of Bothell, has paid as much as $6 for his commute to Kirkland in the toll lanes. “I pay because it can cut my commute in half: from 40 to 20 minutes.”

Straight-A Stanwood senior Jeb McGlinchy is interested in pursuing either music or history at the next level.

By Kari Bray Herald Writer

front porch

STANWOOD — Jeb McGlinchy, 18, is a senior at Stanwood High School. He lives on Camano Island and is the youngest of six children. The straight-A student loves music, church and history and mixes independent music lessons with advanced classes.

Question: Can you tell me a little bit about the activities you’re involved in?

Answer: Well, I’m in choir.

That’s probably my favorite class. The music teacher, Mr. (Erik) Ronning, is the best music teacher I’ve ever had.

I have an independent piano class, it’s my second favorite. I do Knowledge Bowl and Hi-Q starts soon. I’m National Honor Society president. I really enjoy that because I like helping out at the events. I’m also in National English Honor Society.

We talked about doing a newspaper and I think that would be kind of fun.

Q: How did you get involved in music?

A: When I was about 5 my sister started taking lessons and I was kind of jealous and I wanted lessons, too. I started when I was 6. I have a piano teacher right down the road. She’s the best. I’ve taken lessons from her for 12 years. It’s not just learning to play songs. She teaches you everything so that, basically, if you wanted you could be a concert pianist. It’s pretty intense but it’s really fun. I play for my church and then I sing at another church in the choir and then I play for another church occasionally. I think that’s why God gave us music. “God gave me music so I can pray without words.” That’s one of my favorite sayings.

Q: What church do you go to?

A: Cedarhome Baptist.

Q: Is that the church you’ve been going to all your life?

A: Yes. My parents have been going there for about 30 years.

We’re a relatively new family.

A lot of the families have gone there forever and it’s a neat community.

Q: Do you hope to make a career out of music?

Monroe principal honored A ceremony to celebrate Monroe’s Sky Valley Education Center Principal Karen Rosencrans is scheduled for 1 p.m. Monday at the alternative school, 351 Short Columbia St. Rosencrans was voted best principal in Western Wash-

A: I’m deciding that right now. I would like to. I’m deciding whether I should apply to the Conservatory (of Music) at Wheaton (College) to major possibly in performance and music education. Whatever happens, I want to be a musician at my church, I think, wherever that would be.

Q: Do you have any other careers you’re interested in?

A: History teacher. I think it would be fun to be a professor at some point just because the kids that go to universities tend to go there because they want to learn more. At a high school or middle school you have to go so it’s not always that fun.

Q: What do you do for fun?

A: I read. And being a total nerd, this is my bedside table: I have a history of church music and a book of hymns and psalms and then there’s an AP European History book. Yeah, a lot of history books. That and music. In my spare time, I listen to these lectures from a college professor on music history because it involves music theory and history and how music

Right now I’m reading about the Renaissance and you get to see these paintings and they’re cool but then you get to read about what they symbolize and you see another meaning behind the paintings.

Q: What are your most challenging subjects?

A: I’d have to say math and AP physics. The thing with math is I can follow the equations and it’s fine but I guess I don’t really understand it. With history, you can understand why stuff happened. But with math, especially like advanced calculus, it’s hard to understand.

Q: Do you have a favorite song to play or sing?

Where the river eats the road

By Kari Bray Herald Writer

STANWOOD — A lowland road just east of town is closed indefinitely after the bank supporting the pavement gave way during a November storm and subsequent flooding along the Stillaguamish River.

Norman Road needed repairs before the recent damage. It went down to a single lane in January after flooding last winter caused the bank to slump and the road to become unstable. A temporary repair was done in February with hopes of a permanent fix in the summer, but that fell through because of permitting and environmental requirements to work in the river. Now the goal is to get permits in time to fix the road this summer, said Owen Carter, See ROAD, Page A4

We have to pay, otherwise it will take even longer to get home,” he said.

The average toll for the morning commute southbound I-405 increased from $1.50 the first week of tolling to $3.75 the first week of December as more people started using the lanes. For the evening rush northbound, the average toll went up from $1.25 to $3.

Tolls typically didn’t go above $5 for the morning rush and $4 for evening in November. But those peak price points already were $1 to $2 higher than the typical $3 ceiling logged for October.

“Given the trend … we anticipate that drivers may regularly see higher toll rates during peak periods in the future, as people are willing to pay a higher rate,” said Ethan Bergerson, a spokesman for the state tolling division.

That fits the larger picture.

Experience in our own state and elsewhere shows tolls will continue to go up, testing that $10 ceiling enough times until it is raised even higher.

It’s the principle of toll lanes at work on itself.

Tolls go up over a single morning commute — starting at $0.75 at 5 a.m. and reaching $5 by 7 a.m. — as well as over months and years as more people start to see toll lanes as a viable option.

In Atlanta, the maximum toll paid has gradually increased since express lanes opened on 16 miles of I-85 in 2011. Tolls there recently hit a new record at $12.

On Los Angeles County’s I-110, it isn’t unusual for the toll lanes to be packed with folks paying more than $15 to travel the 11-mile route.

Opinion writers for a Florida newspaper say forget “Lexus lanes”; the express lanes on I-95 might as well be “Maserati Lanes” with the maximum

scene,” police reported.

The truck sped away and officers immediately gave chase but without success.

A vehicle matching the description was reported later driving recklessly at the Thomas Lake Shopping Center, where more shots apparently were fired.

Police asked anyone with

information to call 911.

“I am proud of our police force and thankful we had no tragedies as a result of last night’s incident.

The city will utilize all of its available resources to identify and prosecute the responsible parties,” City Manager Rebecca Polizzotto said.

$10.50 toll charged so often.

Closer to home, the Highway 167 high-occupancy toll lanes south of Renton see low average tolls — just $1.25 overall in 2014. But those lanes, too, hit their $9 ceiling within a month of opening in 2008, and have hit the maximum toll more frequently since the state in 2012 made it easier for drivers to access the lanes.

A higher toll does not mean faster speeds within the toll lane.

We can look at I-405 to see that.

One month into tolling, express lane drivers paid an average $1.60 toll during the evening commute to save 17 minutes of travel time, about 9 cents a minute.

Two months in, the rate was up to 15 cents a minute, with a higher toll ($2.20) to save less time (15 minutes).

On that first $10 morning last week, drivers in the lanes were saving 16 minutes — only a minute above the average — for 63 cents a minute.

Up to a point, research shows that the higher the toll, the more willing people are to pay because of the perceived benefit.

It’s like a $50 T-shirt at Nordstrom, or a $5 T-shirt at Value Village of the same brand with last year’s print.

They’re both T-shirts. But only one has a certain panache.

Jeff Yirak, of Snohomish, understands the math.

“If the (express toll lanes) were moving at 60 mph and the general lanes were crawling, I’d probably be willing to pay $10 per day,” Yirak said. As it is, “there’s little point in paying $7, $8, or $10 to go slow.”

On normal days, though, he and his carpool buddy split the cost of tolls to get home in the same amount of time they did before in the HOV lanes.

They’ve paid as much as $6.25.

In the bigger picture, Yirak notes he’s paying to go slower.

Before tolling, it took he and his carpool buddy 30 minutes to get to work. It now takes 40 minutes.

“When I think about paying $50 a week to get to and from work in more time than the trip was taking three months ago, I get a little upset,” Yirak said.

“But I suppose traffic is a fact of life. Until I’m willing to move my family and my business away from Snohomish County — or all of western Washington, practically speaking — I just have to deal with it.”

And for a growing number of drivers, traffic is so bad it’s worth paying to beat even a fraction of it.

Dorothy Heiret, of Bothell, drives the northbound toll lanes daily from work in Bellevue. She usually enters early enough to pay the lowest toll, 75 cents, but she’d likely pay up to $2.

The toll lanes get her home an extra 5 to 10 minutes early.

“I know 5-10 minutes doesn’t sound like much, but when you add that to the 15 minutes of attitude adjustment that would have been required after sitting in traffic, it all adds up,” Heiret said.

Katelyn Reilly, of Kirkland, also travels north in the toll lanes to visit her parents in Mill Creek.

So far she hasn’t paid any more than $1.50,

but might pay up to $6.

“I don’t mind paying a couple bucks to not have to deal with the stop-andgo of rush hour traffic,” she said.

Cary Granger, of Clearview, travels to Bellevue most days, typically when traffic is light. “But the few times that I was in a hurry, and the traffic was bad, I used the toll lanes,” he said.

The highest he’s paid is $2.75. How high would he go?

“What I would be willing to pay to use the toll lanes is all dependent on how it will benefit me as to when I get to my destination,” Granger said. “‘Time is money.’”

Time is money. Soon enough, it may be priceless.

Snohomish County’s deputy director of public works.

There’s a 500-foot crack in the pavement and some of it collapsed into the Stillaguamish near a bend in the river. Water routinely covers parts of Norman and other lowland roads during floods like the one Nov. 18.

“Basically one lane is gone,” Carter said. “The rain just saturated the sand and dirt under the road and it sloughed off into the river.”

The road is closed to all traffic for about a mile, from where it branches off Pioneer Highway to its intersection with 28th Ave. NW. It’s too soon to know how much it will cost to fix the road, Carter said.

County officials are consulting with the Army Corps of Engineers, wildlife experts and local Indian tribes on repair plans. They’ll likely use layers of an eco-friendly wrap to stabilize the bank. The soonest work could start is July.

“We have to wait until we can get in the river,” Carter said.

Detour signs are set up on either side of the closure. An average of 19 vehicles use Norman Road each hour, according to the county. That includes local traffic and trucks that carry farm supplies.

Jeremy Visser has run Natural Milk Dairy on Norman Road since 2007 and moved there with his family about two and a half years ago. The road closure has been a major inconvenience but he’s learned to work around it. The dairy has a private gravel road that cuts across his fields so he can get equipment and goods in and out.

There are at least four homes along Norman Road where vehicle access is limited by size and weight because of the closure, Visser said.

UPS won’t deliver and school buses can’t get by.

When he hosted a group of local students for a tour of the dairy, they had to walk about half a mile to get to the farm, he said.

“It’s unfortunate they weren’t able to repair the road” before the November flood, he said. “Now it’s a much bigger fix.”

People still try to navigate around the “Road Closed” signs but are forced to turn back before the washout. Visser tries to look on the bright side: he now lives on a very quiet street because there’s never too much traffic.

And he counts himself fortunate that his property wasn’t damaged by the November storm and flood that tore into the road.

“It was just a sleepless night or two,” he said.

Potential problems for GOP Candidates Donald Trump and Ben Carson bristle at talk of brokered Republican convention.

By Terrence Dopp and Susan Decker Bloomberg News

Presidential candidates Donald Trump and Ben Carson said Sunday that talk of a contested convention to select the Republican nominee violates terms of neutrality agreements they made with party leaders not to mount third-party campaigns.

Trump said party leaders need to “get used to” him being in the race, and he hopes that reports that Republican Party officials gathered recently to discuss contesting his nomination — even if he receives the required number of delegates — are incorrect.

“I’ve been hearing about these closed-door meetings and I don’t like that,” Trump told CNN’s “State of the Union With Jake Tapper.” “That wasn’t the deal I made. I signed a pledge, and the pledge was supposed to be a double deal.

They were supposed to be honorable, so we’re going to find out. If it’s going to be that way we’ll have problems, but I hope it’s not going to be that way.”

The last so-called brokered convention in U.S. politics took place in 1952, when thenIllinois Gov. Adlai Stevenson was drafted by the Democratic Party as a compromise candidate when no one else gained enough support to secure the nomination. Stevenson lost in the general election to Republican Dwight D. Eisenhower.

A crowded Republican field for 2016 with more than a dozen hopefuls has meant Trump, along with Carson, U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz and others, have competed for a fractured party base.

On “Fox News Sunday” the real estate mogul lashed out at Cruz, who has taken a 10-point lead over Trump among Iowa Republicans weeks before the state’s caucuses, according to a new Bloomberg Politics/Des Moines Register poll. Trump said Cruz doesn’t have the right temperament or the right

judgment to be president, and has acted in the Senate “like a little bit of a maniac.”

Carson, a retired neurosurgeon with no political experience who’s also shown a strong early presence in the race for the party’s nomination, renewed his threat to leave the party if a brokered convention designed to blunt his standing were to take place.

“One of the reasons that I got into this is because I heard the frustration in the people who are so tired of back-room deals, of subterfuge, of dishonesty,” Carson said during an appearance on ABC’s “This Week with George Stephanopoulos.”

“And, you know, if that is the case, then, you know, I’m out of here.”

The Washington Post reported Thursday that 20 Republican party stalwarts discussed the possibility of brokering the convention at a Washington dinner held by Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus.

A person who attended the dinner confirmed to Bloomberg that it took place, and that Priebus, members of Congress, establishment lobbyists and others have held similar discussions for weeks.

Carson said he’s spoken to Preibus and was told that the meeting was a routine one and there are no back-room

Christie to return to main stage CNN is inviting Gov. Chris Christie back to prime-time in the upcoming Republican presidential debate.

The New Jersey governor, who had been dropped from the main stage during the last debate, is one of nine Republican presidential candidates to qualify for the network’s prime-time event Tuesday.

Also among them: Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, who was “on the bubble” of qualifying late last week, the network said.

Front-runner Donald Trump will appear at center stage, flanked by retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson and Sen. Ted Cruz, who is surging in Iowa. Other GOP hopefuls who qualified for the main stage include Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, former Hewlett Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, Ohio Gov. John Kasich.

deals taking place. “But, you know, the jury is out. We’ll certainly be keeping a close eye on things,” he said.

The Republican establishment’s participation in a bid to thwart Trump comes a little more than three months after the billionaire signed a loyalty pledge presented to him by Priebus. Carson told ABC News Friday he has “no intention of running as an independent” but said he doesn’t “want to be a part of corruption.”

Trump said he agrees with Carson’s positions and sent him a note this week saying so.

Establishment Republicans fear a Trump nomination would cause the party to lose

the election and possibly seats in Congress, because he has advocated controversial positions such as rounding up and deporting millions of undocumented workers and a temporary ban on Muslims entering the U.S. A USA Today/ Suffolk University poll released Dec. 8 showed that 68 percent of Trump’s supporters would vote for him if he broke from the party and ran as an independent.

Trump said on Fox News that party leaders will need to get used to his presence. “I’m supposed to be on the other side writing checks,” he said.

“Sorry I did this to you, but you’re going to have to get used to it.”

China sees climate change more clearly The country’s efforts on the historic deal in Paris are partly because of its own pollution.

By Louise Watt Associated Press

BEIJING — China’s push for a global climate pact was partly because of its own increasingly pressing need to solve serious environmental problems, observers said Sunday.

China, the world’s biggest source of climate-changing gases, was blamed for obstructing the last high-level climate talks in Copenhagen in 2009.

This time around, it sent strong political signals it wanted a deal ahead of and during the Paris negotiations that ended Saturday with the agreement to keep global temperatures from rising another degree Celsius (1.8 Fahrenheit) between now and 2100.

“Environmental issues have become much more important to the Chinese public and therefore to the Chinese government,” said Dimitri de Boer, head of China Carbon Forum, a Beijing-based nonprofit organization.

Since 2009, the public has gone from not knowing much or caring about environmental issues “and mainly being focused on wanting to make some money, to now being very concerned with

environmental issues and taking that on par with wanting to make money,” he said.

China’s cities are among the world’s dirtiest after three decades of explosive economic growth that led to construction of hundreds of coal-fired power plants and an increase in car ownership.

China was reminded of its severe environmental challenges during the Paris conference when the capital, Beijing, issued its first red alert for pollution under a twoyear system because of heavy smog. The city ordered limits on vehicles, factories and construction sites and told schools to close.

China pushed for a deal because of its own problems and because the effects of climate change are becoming clearer each year, said Jiang Kejun, senior researcher at the Energy Research Institute under the National Development and Reform Commission, China’s top economic planning agency.

The message on climate change “is very clear — we must do something — and in the meantime the domestic policymaking process is getting more environmentoriented,” Jiang said. The air pollution in Beijing is putting pressure on policymakers and China is moving toward a lowcarbon economy anyway, he said.

To build momentum for a deal, China and the United

ACROSS THE U.S.

Texas firm eyes oil drilling in Alaska ANCHORAGE — Arctic offshore drilling by Royal Dutch Shell PLC drew protests on two continents this year, but a more modest proposal for extracting petroleum where polar bears roam has moved forward with much less attention. While Shell proposed exploratory wells in the Chukchi Sea about 80 miles off Alaska’s northwest coast, a Texas oil company wants to build a gravel island as a platform for five or more extraction wells that could tap oil 6 miles from shore in the Beaufort Sea. The U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management is deciding how to assess the environmental effect of a production plan for the Liberty Project by Hilcorp Alaska LLC, a subsidiary of Houstonbased Hilcorp Energy Co. A successful well would mean the first petroleum production in federal Arctic waters. Hilcorp’s plan for a 23-acre gravel island, about the size of 17.4 football fields, has drawn mixed reviews from conservationists and outright condemnation from environmentalists who believe the oil should stay in the ground.

Calif.: Armed man shot A black man who was fatally shot by Los Angeles deputies kept holding a gun as he lay dying on the ground, authorities said Sunday in response to questions about why they continued to fire on the man after he fell to the pavement. A close-up from security footage showed Nicholas Robertson, 28, stretched out on the ground with a gun in his hand.

He died at the scene Saturday morning in the south Los Angeles suburb of Lynwood. Two deputies fired 33 bullets at the man after he refused to drop the gun and walked across a busy street to a filling station where a family was pumping gas, homicide Capt. Steven Katz said.

Asked if the officers were white, Katz said no but would not elaborate.

AROUND THE WORLD Russia: Fatal fire at clinic Investigators say they will have to study more closely to figure out the cause of a major blaze that left at least 23 people dead at a southwestern Russian psychiatric clinic, local civil defense forces said Sunday. More than 20 others were taken to hospital for smoke inhalation or burns. The blaze broke out late Saturday in the southern Russian city of Voronezh and took a crew of more than 800 four hours to extinguish, the Interfax news agency reported. A short circuit is the suspected cause of the fire.

France: Far right collapse Marine Le Pen’s far-right National Front collapsed in French regional elections Sunday, failing to take a single region after dominating the first round of voting, pollsters projected. The conservatives surged against the governing Socialists, changing the political map of France. The failure of the National Front to gain any of the six regions where it was leading didn’t stop the anti-immigration party from looking to the 2017 presidential election — Le Pen’s ultimate goal.

Turkmenistan: Pipeline

ANDY WONG / ASSOCIATED PRESS

A woman wears a mask Sunday as she rides across a road on a polluted day in Beijing.

States, the world’s two biggest carbon emitters, last year set a 2030 deadline for emissions to stop rising. This June, Beijing promised to cut carbon emissions per unit of economic output by 65 percent from 2005 levels.

In September, Chinese President Xi Jinping pledged $3.1 billion to help developing countries combat climate change.

“That’s huge,” said de Boer.

“They may well be a developing country, but they are also clearly ready to start supporting the least-developed countries in terms of their climate mitigation and adaptation efforts.”

Xi attended the opening ceremony of the Paris conference two weeks ago along with other leaders — and made a last-ditch effort in phone talks

with President Barack Obama on Friday to get a global deal, according to China’s official Xinhua News Agency. He told Obama that their countries needed to work together to ensure an agreement was reached “in the interest of the international community,” Xinhua said.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said that China’s push for a successful conclusion to the Paris negotiations “fully shows that China is dealing with climate change issues as a responsible big country.”

Beijing came under criticism for obstructing the 2009 Copenhagen talks when some participants complained China and India stymied global emissions reduction efforts, possibly for fear they might hamper economic growth.

Leaders from Afghanistan, India and Pakistan joined the president of Turkmenistan in breaking ground on a new pipeline intended to deliver natural gas from the energy-rich former Soviet republic to their three countries. Turkmenistan is believed to have the world’s fourth-largest gas reserves, but currently exports mainly to China. Turkmen President Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov was joined at Sunday’s ceremony by the Afghan president, Indian vice president and Pakistani prime minister. The 1,080mile TAPI pipeline is intended to carry gas through the Afghan cities of Herat and Kandahar and end up in the IndiaPakistan border town of Fazilka.

Italy: ‘Hot pants’ creator dies Mariuccia Mandelli, an Italian fashion designer who electrified the runway with short shorts known as “hot pants,” knitwear whimsically emblazoned with animals and pantsuits for the modern, yet feminine, working woman, died Dec. 6 at her home in Milan. She was 90. Her death was reported by Corriere della Sera and other Italian media outlets. The cause was not immediately available. Mandelli was regarded as royalty in Milan, the fashion capital of Italy, for more than half a century. A onetime elementary school teacher, she launched Krizia, her fashion label, in the mid-1950s, drawing its name from a Platonic dialogue about female vanity.

Snohomish firm works metal magic

By Jennifer Sasseen For The Herald Business Journal

In Ryan Gagnon’s world, welding and metal fabrication give ideas solid form and an industrial edginess.

From gates, stairways and railings, to bar stools, beer towers and stainless-steel countertops, to reclaimed-wood tables and wine-bottle holders — the list goes on and on — Gagnon Welding 42 Inc. has been pulling objects from the ether for 15 years from its base in Snohomish.

“If you can dream it, we can make it happen,” Gagnon said.

Starting out in late 2000 with a single truck and a trailer, Gagnon, now 43, first worked by himself as a mobile welding and metalfabricator company. He found plenty of business.

“It’s amazing how, if you just show up on time and you return phone calls, people will use you,” he said.

Within a couple of years, he’d moved to a shop location, started hiring employees, sold his truckand-trailer combination and bought a bigger truck.

Today he has four “rigs,” nine employees — eight in the shop and one in the office — and is buying the building that houses his shop at 1208 10th St. in Snohomish.

He also recently opened 42 Metal Design a few blocks away, at 905 First St., to display some of the furniture and other creations that come out of his shop.

Store hours are 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday; hours will increase as the business grows, Gagnon said.

And grow it surely will, as more people discover what Gagnon Welding 42 Inc. can do. Just ask Mike Lavallee, artist and owner of Killer Paint airbrush studio next door.

“He looks at projects from a different angle,” Lavallee said of Gagnon. “He’s not your ordinary welder.”

He figures it’s Gagnon’s artistic bent that makes them connect so well.

And they trade their talents; Lavallee painted the distinctive flame designs on Gagnon’s work trucks and Gagnon has done projects for Lavallee that include building showcases, security bars, a business sign and the gate in front of his garage.

GENNA MARTIN / HERALD FILE

Michael Callahan builds metal brackets for a wedding chapel at Gagnon Welding in Snohomish on Sept. 14.

The company does custom welding for restaurants and businesses, and also produces custom furniture.

“If I want anything done, from ordinary welding up to specialty welding, there’s no one else I’d consider,” Lavallee said. “And it’s not just because we’re friends.”

Gagnon learned his trade in a welding course he enrolled in after high school at Lake Washington Technical College in Kirkland, now called the Lake Washington Institute of Technology.

From there, he worked for eight years at Kenworth Truck Company in Renton, welding truck axles and mostly doing the same thing day in and day out.

It was years later that he realized his artistic side, after he’d opened his shop. He’d been doing “a lot of gates and railings,” he said, when he met Don Bellis, president and co-owner The Rock Wood Fire Pizza in Washington, where the franchise began. Bellis had been picking up a truck from Lavallee’s Killer Paint airbrush studio.

“He popped next door and said, ‘Hey, are you interested in welding stuff for our restaurant?’ ” Gagnon said.

That was at about number three for the restaurant chain, which started in Auburn and now has some 20 restaurants ranging throughout the Pacific Northwest — including in Lynnwood and Mill Creek — and as far north as

Alaska and south in Texas.

“It went from building little stuff to helping create everything from tables to beer towers to a crane falling out of the wall,” Gagnon said.

Gagnon Welding 42 Inc. “played a major role in the construction of all metal elements in our restaurants,” Bellis wrote in a testimonial on the welding company’s website, going on to say that not only is the company skilled in welding and metal fabrication, it is also artistic.

“We can simply give Ryan a rough sketch, or idea,” Bellis wrote, “and he transforms that into something cool.”

Gagnon said, “It’s not all me; I also have good employees that help create a vision with me.”

Another plus is that his company sees a project through, from start to finish.

“We’ll come to your house,” he said, “measure it, go over designs, design something, and then we go back to your house and install it.”

For long-distance projects, such as those for The Rock Wood Fire Kitchen in different states, Gagnon said he usually ships his shop’s creations, then he and employees travel to the site “in a pack of four” and install them.

Not so long ago, they traveled

to the Boston area, where Bellis — who’d moved back after several years in Washington — bought a house just a few doors down from New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft. As a rib to the football rivalry with New England, Gagnon fastened a Seahawks plaque to the inside back of the shipping crate; displaying a photo on his phone, he laughed about the reception that must have gotten, though he said Bellis took it like a good sport.

These days his company’s work is apparent in the industrial metalwork at a variety of restaurants, including the Trails End Taphouse and Restaurant, and The Black Duck Cask and Bottle in Issaquah.

“We’re very fortunate that we got in with different restaurants,” he said, “where people let us design and help create.”

As for the 42 in his company’s name? That’s a creation of a different sort, arising from a rowdy night with a snowboarding friend many years ago, Gagnon said.

The two were idly wondering how far it was to Mount Baker, where they planned to snowboard the next day, and decided to make a bet. Whoever guessed closest won and the other guy had to buy lift tickets.

“We said, on the count of three say your number,” Gagnon

explained. “And we both said 42.”

It’s been a family number ever since, so much so that his 16-yearold son, Riley, even claimed it for his football jersey. Gagnon also has two daughters: Rainey, 14, and Ria, 11. His wife, Rebekah, works in the shop office.

Employees have come and gone over the years as they’ve moved on to different jobs or locales, but Gagnon said he can think of only one who parted on not-so-good terms. Some have a lot to learn, but he’s willing to teach them, he said, as long as they show up on time every day and are willing to work hard.

Sometimes he’ll lend a truck to help them move or give them an extra day off.

“Do I have benefit packages like Boeing or Kenworth?” he said. “No. But I have a family atmosphere here.”

Sometimes he needs advice himself on how to do something, such as welding bronze, which is when he calls on mentors like Chris Gallagher, an owner of Metalistics Inc. in Everett, which rolls the metal many fabricators use in their projects.

Gallagher said he is always happy to “pass along our vast, limited knowledge” to other metal fabricators.

“It’s kind of a network of fabricators,” he said, “and we all know each other.”

Gagnon “has a lot of creativity” and is very involved in his community, Gallagher said.

“You can’t go anywhere in Snohomish without running into someone who knows him,” Gallagher said.

Residents of Snohomish are very supportive of each other, Gagnon said, and 99 percent of his business comes from word-of-mouth.

“The nice thing about the community is, a lot of us, we all use each other,” he said.

Everything he does now is custom-made, but in the future, Gagnon said he’d like to move away from that a bit and sell more out of his 42 Metal Design store.

“I’d love to whip out that fish tank five times,” he said. “I’d love to make a table five times.”

Still, nothing beats the one-onone with his clients.

“My favorite part of my job is seeing the customer’s face, seeing the customer happy,” he said.

“It’s really cool.”

Heritage continues push into Seattle

By Jim Davis Herald Business Journal

biz bits

When Whidbey Island Bank merged with Heritage Bank last year, one of the unstated goals was to expand the combined bank’s presence in Seattle.

It made sense geographically.

Whidbey Island’s coverage reached from the Canadian border to north King County. Heritage’s area was from Oregon to south King County.

And it made sense financially.

Before the merger, the separate banks had about $1.6 billion each in assets. Combined, Heritage now has about $3.6 billion in assets, enough to provide the capital for costly projects in downtown Seattle.

“Both banks had some level of activity in King County, but the combined bank gives us size and scale to really handle that market,” said Bryan McDonald, Heritage’s chief lending officer.

That’s why Heritage Bank

planted its flag in a big way in downtown Seattle this summer.

The bank in August opened a branch in downtown at 1420 Fifth Ave., Suite 3600, in Seattle. Last month, Heritage Bank expanded the staff at the office and now has 14 bankers at the site.

“What we’ve found is a very strong acceptance by the market,” McDonald said. “You never know when you start something new, but this has been a process that has been going on for over a year and at each step we’ve had results stronger than what we originally expected.”

King County is like Snohomish County in that the national banks — the Bank of Americas, the Wells Fargos and U.S. Banks — control most of the market. That’s even more so the case since Washington Mutual Bank closed in 2008 and its assets were purchased by New York’s J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. And that opens the door for a bank like Heritage, which has its roots in community banking.

Enrollment for the January session at Columbia CollegeNS Everett/Marysville is open.

The session begins Jan. 11, but students can register through Jan. 13 for online classes and Jan. 15 for in-seat classes. The college offers more than 70 total associate’s, bachelor’s and master’s degrees and offers more than 800 online classes.

For more information, go to

Heritage, with headquarters in Olympia, has 66 branches mostly up and down the I-5 corridor.

Thirteen of those locations are in Snohomish County and another seven are in Island County.

“I think the loss of WaMu gives an opportunity for a regional commercial bank to increase its presence in (the Seattle) market,” said Brian Vance, Heritage’s president and CEO. “There are some opportunities for a community bank with size and scale that has the desire to bank that market. As always I think it takes the right team and the right people to accomplish that and I think Bryan has done an incredible job assembling that team.”

McDonald wouldn’t say that community banks are better than corporate banks, but he did say the banks offer different experiences. Community banks tend to be deeply involved in the areas they grew from, he said. Community bankers are expected to join nonprofit boards and take part in

civic life.

“The responsiveness and relationship between the business owner and the bank is different,” McDonald said. “You would often have access to the chief lending officer or our CEO where you wouldn’t at (national bank.)”

Banking is a high-touch business and being able to interact with decisionmakers quickly is important, Vance said.

“I think that’s a key difference between a community bank and a national player,” Vance said.

Heritage Bank doesn’t break out how individual branches do in its earning report.

But earnings are strong for the overall company. Heritage Financial Corp., the holding company for Heritage Bank, reported a net income of $9.5 million, or 32 cents for diluted shares, compared with $7.1 million, or 23 cents a share, for the same quarter last year.

The company’s total assets have increased by $115 million since June. Loans receivable were

up $56 million from the previous quarter.

And McDonald credits part of that to the strategy in Seattle, where the bank opened the downtown branch in the City Centre building. (The bank does expect to close a smaller branch in Westlake next year.)

While Seattle and King County has gotten a special focus this year, Heritage Bank has also added personnel and resources in Snohomish and Pierce counties, McDonald said. Those three counties are the fastest-growing counties in Heritage Bank’s coverage area.

“If you drive around Snohomish County and downtown Everett, it’s pretty obvious that people are making investments in the county,” McDonald said.

“I think we’re privileged to do business in some very strong markets,” Vance said. “The Puget Sound markets are doing well and we’re able to capitalize on the growth we’re seeing in the region.”

Seattle Genetics has moved into two buildings in the Canyon Park Business Center. The space previously housed Panasonic Avionics. With the new lease, the company will occupy close to 500,000 square feet in total. Seattle Genetics is a Bothell-based biotech firm focused on cancer with a product in the market to treat Hodgkin’s lymphoma. It has 600 employees.

IN OUR VIEW | Safe streets

Start over on underpass With Everett’s serious commitment to helping homeless people — most notably the approval of Mayor Ray Stephanson’s $1 million in new funding for the “Safe Streets” project — the city can begin with a return to the area that spurred much of this initiative in the first place — the homeless “encampment,” for lack of a better word, near the Everett Gospel Mission.

Last March, the city installed chain-link fences on both sides of Smith Avenue where it runs under I-5, upgraded the lighting in the underpass to make it less attractive to transients, and cleared away the people living there. It was a coordinated effort, part of the earlier Community Streets Initiative that has become the Safe Streets project. The Everett Gospel Mission requested help, because the crowded area was without sanitation and replete with drug use.

Over several weeks of outreach, Herald writer Chris Winters reported, police

officers and workers from the Gospel Mission, Catholic Community Services, Cocoon House, Evergreen Manor, Compass Mental Health, Volunteers of America, WorkSource Snohomish County and Pioneer Human Services of Skagit County approached people in the area to see if they could connect them with some kind of services.

The idea is to help people, direct them to specific services, rather than arresting people. Some people took up the offer for help, others simply left. The area was cleared out and the fence was put up. Owing to the hugely difficult and ingrained nature of homelessness, the area was soon repopulated again — the only difference being that the chain link fence pushes them closer to the sidewalk and street, making it very dangerous for everyone when vehicles drive under the overpass.

Now the area seems

even worse than before the fence. For months, business owners and neighbors have repeatedly reported increases in crime in the area. Recently, a man was arrested for allegedly attacking two people from a church group as they were handing out food near the Gospel Mission, The Herald’s Diana Hefley reported.

While the church groups are well intentioned, Everett police say the hand-outs add to the area’s problem with trash, and attracting more homeless people to the area. Everett Police Chief Dan Templeman encourages people who want to help the homeless to donate to local groups providing services to the homeless, such as Catholic Community Services and Volunteers of America.

“We’ve also learned from our conversations with those on the streets that these direct donations can decrease their motivation to seek services and treatment,” Templeman said.

It’s frustrating to have to start over again, but that’s part and parcel of solving difficult problems.

Outreach and social workers are figuring out what works, and what doesn’t, as far getting people off the streets and into some kind shelter. A small percentage of people will always refuse help, but the large number of people found on all the streets, indicates that more and more people become homeless every day, often due to compounding problems like drug addiction or mental illness.

The future will hold more options, as the Safe Streets project includes money to build 20 units of low-barrier supportive housing over the next two years for the chronically homeless. Everett’s outreach workers will have no problem identifying top candidates for such housing.

The fence was not a solution, but the outreach was, and remains so. Clean it up and start again.

This is a huge issue, people, but just like most other very important issues, it is being hidden and kept under wraps.

Oregonians were told “this is just a 90 day experiment” — big lie. We are told Pay as you Go was affordable — lie! We are never going to stop this if we don’t even know it’s starting. Well, now you know.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■ GUN FATALITIES

Ammo purchases no one’s business Regarding the letter, “Restrict, record all ammo sales”: It appears the writer is a liberal-minded individual trying to impose his will on others. It is none of his business how many rounds of ammo or guns anyone owns.

Is it any wonder so many mass shootings that occur in a gun-free zone? The recent California incident could have turned out differently if only one or two individuals had the ability to be legally armed.

Cowards who commit these crimes do so because they are safe. How long before armed help arrived? They were gone by then.

The good news is these terrorist lives came to a great resolution within hours. They can terrorize no one else.

How about we tell the letter writer how much bread, milk, gasoline, etc., he should be able to buy and have in his possession? I am tired of knee-jerk liberals trying to manage my life. I am 70 years old and will protect what I have, including my family. As good as the police are, there are only so many of them to go around.

■ CLIMATE CHANGE

GOP needs to get on board Last September, 12 House Republicans, including Rep. Dave Reichert of Washington, sponsored the Gibson Resolution, supporting conservative environmental stewardship and acknowledging human impact on climate. Rep. Chris Gibson of New York led this effort right before Pope Francis’ visit to Congress.

House Resolution 424 seeks to express the commitment of the House of Representatives to work constructively on creating and supporting economically viable and broadly supported solutions to measured changes in global and regional climates. This resolution is currently waiting its turn before the Energy and Policy Sub-Committee.

Rep. Gibson and his co-signing colleagues are showing us that not all Republicans are playing political football with climate change or environmental issues.

In contrast, at recent Republican Presidential debates, very few words have been said about climate or environmental issues. Example: Sen. Marco Rubio said: “America is not a planet,” suggesting that U.S. policies do not affect our environment or global climate. There seems to be a real unwillingness among Republican political leaders to engage in climate issues.

More congressional Republicans have got to step up to a real conversation about environmental matters if the national Republican leadership is ever to be taken seriously as a party of governance. Well, at least 12 Republican congresspersons are trying.

■ TRANSPORTATION

Pay-by-mile just around the bend In case you didn’t know, Oregon and New Jersey implemented a “pay as you go” plan where transponders are connected to their cars so the state can track where they go and charge them by the mile. Well, they are planning on doing the same thing to us here in Washington.

Because cars are so fuel efficient today, the state “isn’t making enough revenue in “gas taxes.” So, let me get this straight, you wanted us to use gas efficient vehicles so we did, and now we are going to be punished for it?

This is the beginning of the bigger plan which is to force all of us with cars to give in and use public transportation ... doesn’t matter if that doesn’t work for your family ... we are being herded like cattle to follow their agenda. It isn’t bad enough what they are doing to the poor people having to drive I-405 every day, costing as much as $500-plus per month per driver.

Now they want to track us and charge us per mile. And just as it started in the beginning of the “Pay as you Go” plan...it was “only” 75 cents, which “wasn’t so bad” but now it’s much more and rising.

How would you like your government to track your

■ COLLEGE FOOTBALL

UW evidence of too many bowls Well, well. Here we go again.

The University of Washington Husky football team has been given another “gift bowl.”

(Article, “Huskies meet Southern Miss in Heart of Dallas Bowl.”) How do they do this each year?

Very simple: They manipulate their pre-conference schedule, allowing themselves to play and beat weaker teams.

Iowa and Baylor do the same.

Does any team with a conference record of 5-6 go to a bowl? Not in my camp. How about yours?

And dadgum it, Boise State is being removed from the Husky schedule. How does playing Weber State sound?

Huskies “pad” their early games.

And the Cougars are playing in the Sun Bowl. Now there is a team that is worthy.

Iowa puts fate of Medicaid in private hands

O

n Jan. 1, 30 days before Iowa caucus-goers cast the first votes of the 2016 presidential race, the state will gain another national distinction, but of a dubious variety: It plans to launch the most sweeping and radical privatization of Medicaid ever attempted.

In an extraordinary social policy experiment, Iowa’s Republican Gov. Terry Branstad is kicking about 560,000 of the state’s poorest residents out of the traditional Medicaid health care program DANA MILBANK for the poor and forcing virtually all of them to sign up with private insurers. The trend toward managedcare for Medicaid has been underway for decades and some 39 states do it to some extent. But experts inside and outside government say no state has tried to make such a wholesale change so quickly — in Iowa’s case, launching the program fewer than 90 days after signing contracts with private health care companies.

Iowa is conducting an extreme test of a familiar premise of free-market conservatism: that the private sector is more efficient at management and service delivery than government. But the results so far should give pause to those who automatically make such assumptions.

The transition of Iowa’s $4.2 billion Medicaid program has made the rollout of HealthCare.gov look orderly.

An Iowa administrative law judge late last month recommended that Iowa throw out the contract it awarded to WellCare, one of the four companies hired to manage the new program, noting that the company failed to disclose details of its “integrity agreement” with the federal government after the 2014 convictions of three former executives involving the misuse of Medicaid money. In addition, WellCare had paid $138 million to resolve claims that it overbilled Medicare and Medicaid.

The Des Moines Register has reported that the four companies selected to operate the Iowa program have had more than 1,500 regulatory sanctions combined and have paid $10.2 million in fines over the last five years. These involved canceled appointments, privacy breaches, untimely processing and failure to obtain informed consent.

The Iowa rollout has been hampered by delays, and some beneficiaries of the program are only now getting their enrollment packets, though the deadline for signing up is Dec. 17. Health care providers complain that they are being forced to sign incomplete contracts or face a penalty, and that some contracts don’t cover services that had been covered under the existing Medicaid program.

Branstad’s administration has answered critics by saying the new program will save $51 million in its first six months. But he has been unable to come up with documentation to justify the cost savings.

Branstad had the authority to implement the new program without input from the state Legislature. But officials with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services were in Iowa last week and will make a ruling soon on whether the plan can proceed.

In response to my inquiry, Branstad’s office sent me to the state’s Department of Human Services, where a spokeswoman, Amy Lorentzen McCoy, said all is well. The state, which now has 12 percent of Medicaid recipients in managed care, would have gone this way anyway, she said, but the urgency increased with the recent Medicaid expansion (Branstad was one of the few Republican governors to accept the Obamacare expansion of the program).

As the nation’s attention turns to the Iowa caucuses, Iowans will likely be witnessing either a fight between Branstad and Obama (if the federal government forces a delay in the Iowa program) or chaos (if the program is allowed to proceed). Other states, such as Kansas and Kentucky, have tried similar experiments, but they either moved more deliberately or didn’t extend the private program to vulnerable populations such as the disabled.

“A lot of issues have been raised with the pace of the rollout” in Iowa, said Julia Paradise, a Medicaid expert with the Kaiser Family Foundation. “The provider networks for the plans have not yet been established. There’s a lot of confusion among beneficiaries.”

Branstad could recognize this, and slow things down. In failing to do so, he’s relying more on dogma — faith that the private sector always does things better — than reality.

Spanish From Page A1

“Many of us felt the decision to add Spanish and cut P.E. was already made, and then our opinions were asked after the fact,�

Wilder said.

Her sentiments were shared by the board.

Board Vice President Caroline Mason introduced an amendment that preserved the full year physical education requirement while also introducing Spanish. The amended version passed unanimously.

Byrd said the result of

that might be fewer students taking Spanish in the eighth grade. “It will make it impossible for students to take music for a year as well as Spanish for a year,� Byrd said. “There are parents who want to do that.�

Complicating the debate over the Spanish program is the uncertain

funding environment the district faces. At the same meeting, the board also voted to delay implementing a 24-credit high school graduation plan until 2021.

That means the current crop of seventh-graders would be the first class for whom 24 credits would be required for graduation, as

opposed to the 22 credits now required.

There were several factors prompting the board to postpone the statemandated increase, which included the cost of raising the graduation limit (at least $600,000 per year in staffing costs, Byrd said) and the fact that under a 24-credit system,

with six classes in the day, any failing grades would require students to make up the lost credits and would result in them possibly not graduating on time.

A more significant consideration is the district could lose about $10.1 million if the Legislature doesn’t extend an expiring law that increased the amount of levy money that could be used to pay for some expenses, including some salaries.

That happens in 2017.

Byrd said it was hard to predict what a $10.1 million hit to the district’s budget would look like.

It would probably most affect programs, materials or professional development because most salaries are set by contracts with teacher unions.

The hit would come at a time when the district is trying to ramp up its language program. “Our goal is to launch more language beginning in kindergarten and moving up,� Byrd said.

Other options the district is considering are establishing a dual-EnglishSpanish pilot program in one elementary school in the 2018-2019 school year, and expanding high school Chinese classes to Cascade and Henry M. Jackson high schools.

I just remember the day when dad came home and he could just say one word and that was it and then he was not able talk at all. Mom said he probably had a stroke so they went to the hospital and I just stayed at home and played piano and that was the first song that came to mind. So it has a lot of sentimental value. And then my favorite church song to play is “It Is Well With My Soul.� Just the words are beautiful. It’s funny, but I designate songs to certain people and I give this one to my sister who had the strokes because it’s like, “Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say it is well with my soul.� It’s just whatever happens it’s for a reason and it’s for a good reason, whether you know it or not.

‘Confuse’ your child with random punishments

DAILY CROSSWORD

This is the third and final installment of my “Wrong Things Experts Have Said (and Still Say)” series.

Thus far: I’ve debunked the myth that a consequence must be delivered immediately in order for a child to make the misbehaviorconsequence connection; exposed the detrimental nature of high selfesteem; laid bare the falsehood that behavior modification works on human beings; and outed Freud for the fraud that he actually was.

The next psychological sacred cow in my shooting gallery is the notion that when it comes to consequences, parents must be consistent. Supposedly, a child should always be able to accurately predict the consequence his parents (or teachers) are going to apply to misbehavior. He should know, for example, that when he calls his mother a foul name, she is going to put him in time-out for five minutes (because he’s 5 years old). Supposedly, a child’s inability to accurately predict consequences causes some sort of potentially ego-threatening psychic disturbance, generally referred to as “confusion.” And as anyone with a full complement of common sense knows, children should never experience any form or degree of psychic disturbance.

(Full disclosure: There was a time when yours truly believed this

JOHN ROSEMOND LIVING WITH CHILDREN claptrap.)

The truth is that when a consequence is predictable — when the consequence is employed over and over and over again — it’s very likely that the child in question will become immune to it, and fairly quickly so. This explains why parents commonly report that a certain consequence worked for a time and then stopped working.

Sometimes, parents will say that the child seemed to stop “caring” that he received the consequence.

Precisely! The child became immune to the consequence. It became humdrum because he knew exactly what his parents were going to do if he misbehaved. At some point, and fairly early on, the consequence becomes meaningless. He learns how to entertain himself so as to make the five, or 10, or 15 minutes of time-out go by quickly. Thus, being put in time-out

SUPER QUIZ Score 1 point for each correct answer on the Freshman Level, 2 points on the Graduate Level and 3 points on the Ph.D. Level.

(or losing television for the rest of the day, going to bed early, writing sentences, etc.) becomes a game.

To prevent immunization and the possibility that punishment becomes a game, I recommend that parents employ what I call the “Consequence Grab-Bag.” Put 10 consequences in the grab-bag.

When misbehavior occurs, close your eyes, reach down into the grab bag, and pull one out. Surprise!

“Guess what, Billy! You’re going to your room for the rest of the day!”

“What!” Billy exclaims, shock written all over his cute face. “That’s not fair!”

“Fair?” says Billy’s mom. “This is December. The fair never comes in December.”

When I refer to the grab bag, I’m speaking figuratively, but I do know of some parents who put each of 10 consequences on pieces of paper the size of Chinese cookie fortunes.

Each “fortune” (in a sense, they were) was folded and put in a fishbowl. When their son misbehaved, he had to go to the fishbowl and pick out a consequence.

A year later, this approach continued to be — according to the son — unfair. In other words, it continued to work!

Woman weighs the price of a marriage of convenience

THE NEW YORK TIMES CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Abby: After a marriage of many years, I have come to realize ours has become simply one of convenience. My husband is a negative, controlling person who gripes about everything. He has developed no friendships or interests of his own, and I have to battle with him to even have a day to myself.

How many other women are like me — stuck in loveless marriages without the resources to live on our own (at least in the lifestyle we are accustomed to)?

Any advice for me? — In Limbo Out West Dear In Limbo: If my mail is any indication, you have lots of company.

Many women stay because they are afraid to live alone or see nothing better on the horizon. No third party can or should answer this question for you.

Make a list of the pros and cons of your marriage, tally them up and weigh the cons against how you feel living the life you are living now. A licensed counselor may be able to steer you in the right direction — which may entail marriage counseling and/or consulting a lawyer or your CPA about what other options you may have.

Dear Abby: I’m a busy sixth-grade girl who has played piano for seven years. But my schedule gets in the way of piano because I have to prep for competitions. I love the piano, but I need to keep up with my school schedule.

If I tell my grandma I want to quit piano, she’ll be disappointed. I already quit violin in orchestra. This means my music life will be over. Should I do it or not?

— Stressed Out Musician Dear Musician: Unless your music causes your grades to drop, continue the piano for as long as you can. There may come a time

DEAR ABBY when other things must take precedence, but you never can tell how beneficial your musical education may be when you’re an adult.

Let me share a true story with you: A man in Los Angeles studied classical piano for many years. He had talent, but didn’t consider himself good enough to make it his career. He married, went to law school, passed the bar — and wound up becoming one of the most successful lawyers in town representing musicians and other entertainers.

You never can tell where life may lead, so the more talents you nourish, the wider your options will be.

Dear Abby: My husband demands we give our first child the name “Junior” as his legal first name, supposedly to honor the baby’s paternal grandpa, who is also called Junior.

I am vehemently opposed to it because Junior is a title, not a name, and also because Grandpa is a notorious drunk, criminal and adulterer. I am open to ANY other name my husband may want, but he won’t budge. Who should win out? — Due Soon In Syracruse Dear Due Soon: You should! Naming a child after someone is, indeed, supposed to be an honor, and from your description, your father-in-law isn’t someone who deserves one.

BRIDGE Cy the Cynic says that if you’re having second thoughts about something — anything — you’re two thoughts ahead of most people.

At today’s four hearts, South took dummy’s ace of spades and cashed the K-A of trumps. When West threw a club, South began to have second thoughts about his play, but he drew East’s trumps, led a club to the ace and returned a diamond: ten, queen, ace.

South ruffed the next spade, conceded a diamond

and ruffed the third spade with his last trump. He took the king of clubs but lost the rest to West. Down one.

South almost surely needs a 3-2 diamond break to succeed (and West might have led a singleton diamond). Even so, South will have trump-control issues if trumps break 4-1. So South should start the diamonds at Trick Two. When West wins and leads a second spade, South ruffs, concedes a diamond, ruffs the next spade and concedes a diamond. If the defense leads a fourth spade, South can ruff in dummy, draw trumps and claim.

To sign off at three hearts would not be an error, but to bid three diamonds would be questionable when your heart suit is semi-solid.

INVISION

Taylor Swift performs during the “1989” world tour at Staples Center in Los Angeles on Aug. 22. Swift is releasing a live concert special Dec. 20, from her star-studded “1989 World Tour” exclusively on Apple Music

Apple Music is currently the only streaming platform where Swift’s best-selling “1989” album is available. Swift, who wrote a critical Tumblr post in June about Apple’s

initial decision to not pay artists during its free, three-month trial launch of Apple Music, said Apple contacted her about capturing one of her concerts for a special.

“I think I’d be leaving a huge part out if I didn’t mention the blog post that I wrote . I think that is probably the starting point because I didn’t have a personal relationship with Apple until that point,” Swift said in an interview with Zane Lowe of Apple Music’s Beats 1 Radio (the interview airs Monday at noon Eastern). “I’m sure there are better ways to introduce yourself than to say, ‘This is what I’m upset about, please think about our industry.’ It got more attention than I thought it would because I’d been echoing those sentiments for years.”

Apple changed its decision to pay artists, but Swift said she was a bit terrified after posting the letter.

Siggins, whose character on the show was named Legless Suzi, was 43.

The FX network show announced her death on its Facebook page, saying: “We are saddened to learn

of the passing of Rose Siggins. She was beloved by everyone in the AHS family. She was a kind person, a loving mother and a very talented actor.

Happy Birthday: Look at the possibilities and let your enthusiasm build until you are ready to give your all. Success will be achieved by taking action and being willing to make the adjustments that will improve your life personally and professionally. Look outside your geographical location for opportunities you can’t find closer to home. Your numbers are 1, 9, 18, 26, 31, 38, 44.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You can do anything you set your mind to. Rework the way you present your skills, and update your resume.

An unexpected financial opportunity will lead to greater personal stability. ★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Research and listen to what others have to say, and you will know exactly what to do to please the people around you without jeopardizing your own needs. Romance is on the rise, and sharing your intentions will lead to positive changes. ★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Take action. It’s what you do, not what you say, that will get things out of the way and give you more free time to make plans for the holidays. Visiting an old friend will bring about new options. ★★★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Be creative when dealing with money matters. If you buy gifts for friends or family, be creative and look for a gift that comes from the heart. It’s the sentiments behind your purchases for others that count, not the price tag. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t be confused by what others do or say. Focus on what you need to accomplish and you’ll come out on top. An emotional situation is best left alone. Time will help sort out difficulties. Make travel plans for next year. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t give in to

someone’s abrupt or demanding ways. Get out and do the things that make you happy. Exploring your options for upcoming festivities will lead to a choice that may not please everyone. Romance is in the stars. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Keep your thoughts to yourself when dealing with friends and family. Emotions will flare up easily if you discuss the changes you plan to make. You will discover valuable information if you talk to someone with experience. ★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Do everything according to the rules and directions you’ve been given, and leave nothing to chance. A direct approach will help you get what you want.

Romance should highlight your day and set the stage for an improved home life. ★★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Don’t make promises you cannot keep. It’s better for others to underestimate you and wind up being surprised by your skill, talent and ability. If you do things for the wrong reason, you will end up being taken advantage of. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You will accomplish a lot if you don’t let what other people do slow you down. Head in your own direction and focus on taking care of business.

An extreme change will be beneficial both personally and financially. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Beware of emotional setbacks. Don’t get into discussions that will solve nothing. Put your energy into personal paperwork or taking care of matters that are time-sensitive. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Dealing with financial, legal or medical institutions will be challenging. Not everyone will be eager to share information or direct you properly. Use your experience, knowledge and intuition to help you choose the best course of action. Romance is highlighted. ★★★ Universal Uclick

Rookie RB Rawls out for season with broken ankle

By Gregg Bell The News Tribune

BALTIMORE — Thomas Rawls made so much noise in his rookie season.

But it ended for him here in somber silence outside the visiting locker room.

That’s where staffers helped him onto the back of a motorized cart Sunday afternoon. The running back who burst into the NFL this fall, going from an undrafted free agent to Marshawn Lynch’s heir apparent for years to come in the Seattle Seahawks’ backfield, grimaced with a bowed head.

His left leg was encased in a walking boot, but he wasn’t walking. He propped a crutch onto the back of the cart and was then driven out down a service See RAWLS, Page C4

Seahawks rookie running back Thomas Rawls broke his left ankle in the first quarter after rushing for 44 yards on six carries.

BALTIMORE — They came next door to baseball’s Camden Yards, down the street from a marker commemorating a mammoth home run Ken Griffey Jr. hit 21 years ago that Dave Niehaus called for the Mariners. They were Seahawks-version reminders of what Seattle’s late, great baseball voice once famously proclaimed.

ALTIMORE — Frozen in bronze and in time, Johnny Unitas is anchored outside the Baltimore Ravens’ stadium in his customary pose, arm cocked, looking downfield for an open receiver.

Ignoring the fact that he never played for the Ravens, he was the heart of Baltimore as a Colt, and ushered the National Football League into the modern era of passing offenses and televised drama.

They cast statues of you for that kind of a career.

The game was different back then, no question. But even the iconic Johnny U. never went on a

productive. Joe Montana, Brett Favre, Dan Marino never went four games without an interception while throwing as many as 16 touchdown passes.

It’s been done: Tom Brady went 26 TDs-0 INTs in a wicked 11-game stretch in 2010; Peyton Manning went 16-0 in the first four games of 2013. And Aaron Rodgers matched the 16-0 but needed five games to do it in 2014.

I’m not saying Wilson is a Hall of Famer yet, or necessarily destined to join that pantheon. A lot can happen. The point here is that his current streak of accuracy and efficiency is approached only by some of the greats of the game.

Penn State’s Nassib wins Lott Trophy Associated Press NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. — Defensive end Carl Nassib of Penn State has won the Lott IMPACT Trophy as the college defensive player having the biggest influence on his team.

The other finalists were Duke safety Jeremy Cash, Temple linebacker Tyler Matakevich and Ohio State linebacker Joshua Perry.

Nassib received the award Sunday night during a banquet at the

Pacific Club.

The former walk-on led the nation in sacks and recently won the Lombardi Award. UCLA’s Eric Kendricks won the award last year.

By Christian Caple The News Tribune

SEATTLE — When Jimmy Lake wants to show the Washington Huskies’ defensive backs how to properly execute a certain coverage or technique, he turns, as most assistant coaches do, to his “teach tape.”

This is simply a series of clips of defensive backs playing with proper fundamentals.

This year, that tape doubled as a Sidney Jones highlight reel.

Lake so frequently uses Jones’ steady play as a teaching tool that some of his teammates have started calling him “Sidney Lake,” a playful poke at what can seem at times to be a teacher’s-pet-like relationship between player and coach.

“This is how you do it. This is what it looks like,” Lake tells the group. “If you want to do a really good job of this certain bump coverage that we teach, here is Example A, and it’s usually Sidney.”

Jones, a sophomore from Diamond Bar, California, now has the accolades to reinforce his coach’s praise: along with sophomore safety Budda Baker, Jones was named first-team All-Pac-12 after anchoring a UW secondary that finished the regular season with 15 interceptions and allowed just nine touchdown passes.

Jones had the best statistical season of any defensive back on the team. He intercepted four passes — one shy of the Pac-12

lead. He forced three fumbles — tied for the Pac-12 lead — and recovered two. And he tied for the Pac-12 lead with 13 passes defended.

Simply put, the sophomore has developed into perhaps the league’s best cover corner, an ascent hastened by his work ethic.

After he started 12 games as a true freshman last season, Jones said Lake challenged him to “take your game to the next level.”

That, he said, meant watching even more film — the two already meet for additional one-on-one sessions in Lake’s office — looking even closer for tendencies he could exploit on the field.

“Freshman year was just watching it, looking at the play and just not too much thinking it through,” Jones said. “This year is just looking at my matchup, looking at his release and just dissecting that player, and the other players if they come to my side.

Just put it together from there.”

It is this kind of study that led to what Jones considers his biggest improvement: play recognition.

As he puts it: “Being able to know when plays are about to occur and what’s about to come to me.”

Lake sees this, too.

“He’s running the route for the receiver before the guy’s even breaking, off his film study, from splits to the formation they’re in,” Lake said. “And then once he sees it, his burst and his athleticism that gets him to the ball so quick — he’s so technically sound.”

And patient. This is something Jones said he learned

from watching film of Seattle Seahawks All-Pro Richard Sherman, and it’s something his teammates identify as one of Jones’ more valuable skills.

“That’s something that takes repetition,” junior cornerback Kevin King said. “That’s something that takes practice and practice, over and over again.

You have to train your mind, train your body to, in a real pressure situation, be able to relax and get that done and have that type of patience out there.”

King said he knows when Jones is watching film, because Jones will send him Snapchat videos of plays he found interesting or offensive tendencies he noticed.

“He’s already probably even watched every game Southern Miss has played, and we haven’t even really started game planning on that,” King said of UW’s bowl opponent.

Another lesson Jones has learned is to shake off failure. The game does not reward those who sulk, and Jones seems to grasp that concept.

“He’ll get a couple balls caught on him, and it doesn’t matter,” Lake said. “He just moves on, next play, and then he’ll get an interception for a touchdown.

In the offseason, Jones said, he watches film of previous UW games, just like the rest of his teammates. But he also watches NFL games, particularly those of the league’s top corners. Despite their proximity, Jones said he and Sherman are not yet acquainted.

“I worked out with him in high school one time,” Jones said, “but he probably doesn’t remember.”

In time, Sidney Jones’ name might be difficult to forget.

Alabama’s Henry headlines AP All-America team Associated Press Heisman Trophy winner Derrick Henry of Alabama and finalists Deshaun Watson of Clemson and Christian McCaffrey of Stanford highlight The Associated Press All-America team.

The team released Sunday features Henry and Leonard Fournette of LSU as first-team running backs. Watson is the quarterback on the first team. McCaffrey, who

set an NCAA record for all-purpose yards this season, made the first team as an all-purpose player.

No. 2 Alabama and No. 18 Baylor have the most players on the first team with three apiece. Joining Henry from Alabama are linebacker Reggie Ragland and defensive lineman A’Shawn Robinson. Baylor is represented by receiver Corey Coleman, offensive tackle Spencer Drango and defensive tackle Andrew Billings.

Clemson (Watson and defensive end Shaq Lawson), Stanford (McCaffrey and guard Joshua Garnett) and Ohio State (safety Vonn Bell and tackle Taylor Decker) each had two players on the first team.

The Southeastern Conference had the most players on the first team with six, followed by the Big Ten with five.

SNOHOMISH COUNTY PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS REGULAR MEETING

from the field and from 3-point range against a Miners squad that was ranked 18th in the nation in defending both types of shots.

WSU post Josh Hawkinson, a graduate of Shorewood High School, led all players with 17 points and 14 rebounds.

Conor Clifford, another effective post player for WSU (6-2), made all five of his field-goal tries and all five of his free throws for 15 points.

“They thoroughly dominated us with their two big men inside,” UTEP coach Tim Floyd said.

The Cougars shot 55.3 percent from the field, including 50 percent from beyond the 3-point arc (8-for-16). Reserve swingman Derrien King, a junior-college transfer who had five points and one rebound in brief appearances in three games, buried all three of his first-half shots — all from 3-point range — and finished with 10 points and six rebounds.

“My teammates just did a really good job of finding me when I was open,” King said, “and coach (Ernie Kent) had a lot of confidence in me.”

Said Kent: “I’m really proud and happy for Derrien, because he’s another piece to the puzzle that joined the party in this game. There’s a couple more guys sitting over there, when they get on their games, this team has a chance to be really good offensively.”

The Cougars are already faring quite well, averaging 78.4 points per game and

shooting 50.2 percent from the floor.

“They shot the ball extremely well,” UTEP point guard Dominic Artis said, “and they were able to get to the free-throw line and get their rhythm there.”

In addition to their impressive offensive performance, the Cougars held UTEP (6-3) to 36.5-percent shooting from the field, including 22.7 percent on 3-pointers (5-for-22). Lee Moore led UTEP with 13 points, but he was 4-for-16 from the field.

UAB 79, Seattle 73 BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Chris Cokley tied his careerhigh with 25 points, including a key 3-point play with 44 seconds remaining, to lead UAB past Seattle.

Robert Brown added 18 points, and William Lee and Denzell Watts had 11 apiece for UAB (6-3).

UAB carried a 37-24 advantage into halftime but had to hold off a second-half Seattle surge that cut the gap to 72-71 on Manroop Clair’s 3-pointer with 1:03 to play. After Cokley put UAB up 75-71, Hakeem Baxter and Nick Norton sealed the win with four free throws.

Clair and William Powell led Seattle (3-6) with 15 points apiece.

WOMEN Spokane 84, Everett 55 EVERETT — Spokane Community College defeated Everett Community College 84-55 in the championship game of the Everett Community College Women’s Classic at EvCC. Breezy Shore (Monroe High School) led the Trojans with 20 points and Lauren Allison (Stanwood) added 16. Shore and EvCC’s Lily Hildebrand were named to the all-tournament team.

EvCC fell to 4-4. Spokane CC improved to 7-2.

BALTIMORE — Michael Bennett has a refrain that’s as familiar this time of year as holiday wreaths, Christmas trees — and the Seattle Seahawks winning.

“I always say, man, ‘It’s the pretenders in the beginning of the season, then it’s the contenders at the end of the season,’” Seattle’s defensive end said Sunday following a 35-6 steamrolling of the Baltimore Ravens, the fourth consecutive victory for the two-time defending NFC champions.

“The great teams play great football in December.”

Seattle is now 14-2 the last three seasons in December.

The defense is back playing as great as that record in this month of Santa Claus and Seahawks victories. With Bennett and fellow defensive end Cliff Avril continuing their Pro Bowl-caliber seasons of zoom off the edge and tackles Ahtyba Rubin and Brandon Mebane devouring blockers inside so All-Pro middle linebacker Bobby Wagner can clean up on tackles behind them, Seattle has allowed 59 total yards

rushing on 30 carries the past two weeks.

Baltimore, missing lead back and former Seahawk Justin Forsett (broken arm), had just 28 yards on 14 running plays.

That was a season low against Seattle. Ravens offensive coordinator Marc Trestman basically quit running. That left the game in the arm of third-string quarterback Jimmy Clausen.

Yes, that worked out well for the Seahawks.

“This week we just wanted to hit our gaps,” Wagner said. “We felt if we stop the run game fast that was going to force them to throw. And we felt like we liked our chances with that.”

Clausen is now 1-12 in his journeyman career as a starting quarterback. He’s 0-2 this season against the Seahawks.

He became the sixth quarterback to start two games against the same opponent in an NFL season; he had filled in for injured Jay Cutler when Chicago lost 26-0 at Seattle on Sept.

27. After Baltimore punted the first two times it had the ball on Sunday, all 13 drives Clausen had led in two games against the Seahawks this season had ended with punts.

Clausen didn’t produce a

touchdown on 20 drives against Seattle this season.

Seattle is now allowing 83.2 yards rushing per game. That includes holding league rushing leader Adrian Peterson to 18 yards the previous week. The Seahawks entered Sunday third in the league in run defense, then their average allowed dropped almost 5 more yards.

During the four-game winning streak, the Seahawks have held San Francisco, Pittsburgh, Minnesota and Baltimore to an average of 44 yards rushing per game.

The plan is to gang up on running backs and lanes, then force second- and third-tier quarterbacks to try to beat them with Avril and Bennett flying at them with no thought of having to stop the run. That plan will continue the next two weeks. Seattle hosts Cleveland (3-10) and Johnny Manziel this coming weekend, then St. Louis (5-8) and likely Case Keenum on Dec. 27.

“We pride ourselves up front, the front seven, to try to stop the run,” Avril said. “That’s our big thing, making them one-dimensional.

“We just need to keep chopping away.”

Seahawks’ success starts with O-line

By Dave Boling The News Tribune

BALTIMORE — Almost no interview in the Seattle Seahawks locker room after the 35-6 win over Baltimore finished without a few verbal bouquets being tossed in the direction of the offensive line.

That’s not bad for a unit that had been figuratively chased around Seattle by critics with pitchforks and torches in the first half of the season.

Their improving play coincides with the streak of Seahawks’ success.

In the past six games, five wins, Seattle quarterbacks have been sacked eight times, after being sacked 31 times in the first seven.

They Hawks also topped 400 yards in total offense four times in those six games.

“I can’t start it without talking about the offensive line,” head coach Pete Carroll said.

“These guys protected all day long. Russell (Wilson) had a great opportunity to sit back there and do his stuff.”

Wilson was untouched in 32 pass attempts versus Baltimore, and he responded by staying in a clean pocket and passing for five more touchdowns.

“The offensive line was unbelievable,” Wilson said. “They

opened holes and protected me well. That’s as good as it gets.”

Carroll said it’s been a matter of the line maturing together, but many credit the change to the insertion of Patrick Lewis into the role of starting center six games ago.

“They give me too much credit,” Lewis said. “As a group, we watch a lot of film together.

Russell (Wilson) is on it and he’s making the right checks and getting everybody in the right spot. Overall, it’s just a lot of communication. That’s been the main thing lately.”

Given how well he had played in a stretch late last season, Lewis was considered a front-runner for the starting job in training camp. But unproven Drew Nowak was given the job even though he was more of an unfinished prospect.

“That happens,” Lewis said when asked how he reacted to being on the bench. “It motivated me to keep working on the things I needed to. I just waited my turn and when I got it I tried to do my best. I love this game and I try to put my all into every play whether I’m on the bench or on the field.”

Right guard J.R. Sweezy said Lewis’ play has “been big; he has a lot of experience and has been able to step in there and

run the show.”

Lewis offered an interesting insight into the unity of the offensive line, deflecting credit to backup center/guard Lemuel Jeanpierre.

Although Jeanpierre is another who contended for playing time at center, he’s been a mentor to Lewis.

“He’s always in my ear, keeping me at the top of my game,” Lewis said. “We watch a lot of film together and he helps me out. He’s been that way since I got here. He’s a great leader on this team and I look up to him.”

Jeanpierre laughed when he heard Lewis. “You do whatever you can, even if I’m not playing I can be an asset. Pat’s doing really well, doing a great job, and he’s going to keep doing it.”

Tackle Russell Okung cited the quick release of Wilson’s passes as helping their protection. But he also touted Wilson’s level-headed support of the linemen.

“He’s always been consistent since Week 1 in his language, how he talks and how he believes in us,” Okung said of Wilson. “He never changes; he’s true to who he is.

He’s never hard on us, always believes in what we can do.”

And, in the last six games, he has reason to believe in them.

hallway to the team’s bus to its flight home from this 35-6 rout of the Baltimore Ravens.

Paging the suddenly-urgently needed Lynch.

Rawls, Lynch’s replacement for the last month, will miss the rest of the season after suffering a broken ankle and torn ligaments in Sunday’s first quarter.

“I think the ligaments are really the problem,” Seattle head coach Pete Carroll said. “I don’t think he’s going to have to have an operation, from what I understand.

“Thomas has had a fantastic rookie season. Just exemplifies what we are all about: toughness, and hard-nosed and committed and grit and all that stuff. We love the guy, and we’re really going to miss him.”

Rawls had 47 yards on his first five carries of the Seahawks’ fourth straight victory. He was plowing through Ravens like he had Bengals, 49ers, Steelers and Vikings before them. But on his sixth carry of Seattle’s opening drive he got trapped behind the line and engulfed by a swarm of Ravens. His left ankle bent under the pile. The Seahawks’ medical staff ran onto the field followed close behind by Carroll. They knew almost immediately Rawls’ impressive debut season was over, after 830 rushing yards.

“I just talked to him for a second. He’s such a stud kid that he’s trying to fire me up,” Carroll said.

“I’m sure it’s tearing him up inside because he would love to continue with his teammates.”

Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson said he prayed for Rawls.

“That was tough,” Wilson said.

“He’s played such a great season, rushing for almost 1,000 yards this season. I think he’s done just a phenomenal job. He’s worked so hard. Just praying for him that he gets back quickly.”

Rawls walked off the field slowly with a limp. He was replaced by DuJuan Harris, who was on the practice squad until eight days ago.

Carroll said the next move for the team will be to see how close Lynch is to returning from abdominal surgery Nov. 25.

“We have to see where he is.

He has a chance to get back. It’s all about getting back in shape and getting right,” Carroll said. “I don’t know what that timetable is at this point; our trainers can’t tell yet. But that would be the next thing that we are looking at, to see how that works.

“In the meantime, we’ll figure it out.”

Of course, if Wilson continues to play as he has — 16 touchdowns, no interceptions in his past four games, and if the offensive line continues its pass blocking — no sacks allowed Sunday, only eight allowed in the last six games after 31 in the first seven — the Seahawks may be able to withstand yet another injury at running back.

Harris signed with Seattle’s practice squad Nov. 24, a day before Lynch’s surgery. The Seahawks promoted him to the active roster in time to backup Rawls last week at Minnesota.

He lost a fumble at the 5-yard line in the second quarter Sunday, or the rout of the Ravens would have been even worse.

“I have to be better,” a glum Harris said repeatedly.

He played 15 games for Green Bay last season, and nine combined for the Packers and Jacksonville in the 2012 and 2011 seasons, respectively.

Seattle got another key injury Sunday when Kam Chancellor sustained “a bruised back side” in the second quarter and did not return.

Special-teamer Kelcie McCray replaced him at strong safety.

Chancellor was on an exercise bike on the sidelines for some of the rest of the game after he got hurt. He walked out of the locker room carrying his own bag following the game.

The Seahawks have a policy of injured players being off-limits to talk to the media.

“He was really uncomfortable today,” Carroll said, “(but) we think he has a chance to get back next week.”

The Seahawks (8-5) host Cleveland (3-10) next Sunday. The Browns ended a seven-game losing streak by beating San Francisco.

SEAHAWKS | Notebook

From Page C1

And as was the case with Unitas, most of the great quarterbacks had a security-blanket receiver, a go-to guy with whom he shared a special connection.

For Unitas, it was Raymond Berry. For Russell Wilson, it’s Doug Baldwin.

Baldwin has eight TD catches in the past three games — more than half of his total in the first four seasons of his career (15).

“I think Doug’s playing phenomenal football ... Pro Bowl, All-Pro type of play,” Wilson said.

All six of Baldwin’s catches against the Ravens went for first downs, and three for touchdowns of 14, 16 and 22 yards.

“It’s been amazing the past few weeks,” Baldwin said. “I have to give a lot of credit to Russ; he’s playing unbelievable. I know he’ll come up here and say nothing’s different, but he’s been playing his tail off, unbelievable. I can’t say enough about what he’s doing right now for us.”

Baldwin’s best catch on Sunday didn’t even count, and it was perhaps the day’s best example of the Wilson/Baldwin extrasensory interplay. Under heavy pressure in the Red Zone, Wilson spun away from trouble and almost blindly winged it to the corner of the end zone where Baldwin pulled it in. He was knocked out of bounds in the process, so it was ruled incomplete.

It was evidence of the special, almost telepathic, communication Wilson and Baldwin share.

“A lot goes into it,” Baldwin said. “It’s him knowing my body language, knowing when I’m going to cut, knowing what I’m going to do. Like I said last week (against the Vikings) I ran the wrong route but he put the ball in the perfect spot because he was reading my body language.”

When players are that in-tune, two wrongs it seems, can make a touchdown. “(It’s) the nuances, the subtleties that come with the game,” Baldwin said. “We’re finally on the same page.”

Not just on the same page, but off the charts.

As always, Wilson tried to give credit to every receiver on the roster when asked specifically about Baldwin, but he admitted that the two “are really clicking.”

Wilson is probably the first to bring Baldwin into the Pro Bowl conversation. It’s hard for a receiver on a run-first team to build the kind of numbers needed.

But Baldwin has been crucial in helping Wilson boost his stats to career-high levels, and that scores points.

It’s too early to start sculpting any statues yet, but this special connection between Wilson and Baldwin is going to make the Seahawks very dangerous down the stretch of this season and into the future.

— from three weeks ago. He has 16 touchdowns with zero interceptions the past four games.

Three of his scoring throws on Sunday went to a wide-open Baldwin. The wide receiver has eight touchdown receptions in the past three games.

That was more than enough to overcome a season-ending ankle injury to running back Thomas Rawls and bury Baltimore with its third-string quarterback, Jimmy Clausen. Seattle rolled to its fourth consecutive victory, 35-6 at M&T Bank Stadium on a Maryland day that was as unseasonably warm as the Seahawks are unbelievably hot.

Seattle has scored 141 points in its past four games. It’s outscored the last two, steamrolled opponents by a combined 73-13.

“Seattle Seahawks, back to doing what they do,” All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman said after his interception — on which he got pulled down by his hair — helped Seattle (8-5) hold its second consecutive foe without an offensive touchdown.

“Let’s call all those people who wrote us off — and call for their jobs.”

‘Spectacular’ Wilson Seahawks QB is 186 yards shy of matching single season-career high of 3,475 yards with 3 games to play

By Gregg Bell The News Tribune

BALTIMORE — Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson’s 23-for-32 passing day for 292 yards against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday leaves him with 3,289 yards passing this season.

He is 186 yards from his career high set last season — with three regular-season games still remaining.

Wilson was 11-for-18 for 121 yards and touchdowns to Doug Baldwin and rookie Tyler Lockett in the first half. His passer-rating in the half was 118.1.

Baldwin had his first drop of the season, on an inside-thenout route like the one on which he scored his second-quarter touchdown. Luke Willson dropped a pass in the end zone.

And Fred Jackson, the 34-yearold third-down back, allowed an accurate Wilson pass to go through his hands over the middle to end a 2-minute drill before halftime.

Without those drops Wilson

if tight end Luke Willson hadn’t dropped the quarterback’s lofted throw in the end zone in the second quarter.

The Elias Sports Bureau says Wilson is the first player in NFL history to have four consecutive games with at least three touchdown passes, zero interceptions and a completion rate of at least 70 percent.

“It really is like watching Russell at practice,” All-Pro linebacker Bobby Wagner said.

Yes, Wilson is playing games like there’s no defenders hitting him and nobody in pads. Or even helmets.

Baldwin, whose career-high 11 touchdown catches this season equals that of his three previous seasons combined, continues to be impressed by his quarterback.

“It’s been amazing the past few games,” Baldwin said.

“He’s playing unbelievable right now. ... He’s doing it all. It’s Russ right now. He’s ballin’.”

Seattle’s defense is equally impressed.

“Spectacular,” defensive end Michael Bennett said of Wilson.

So are the Seahawks. Once 0-2, 2-4 and 4-5, they won their fourth game in a row to seize the fifth seed in the NFC’s six-team playoff standing. Home games against Cleveland and St. Louis plus a finale at Arizona Jan. 3 remain.

would have had a perfect rating of 158.3 in the half.

“So many people wrote so many things about Russell Wilson, saying, ‘Can he play in the NFL? Can he do that?’” defensive end Michael Bennett said.

“Then he comes out and puts this type of season together: Spectacular.”

Matthews strikes back Chris Matthews made his Baltimore debut when the Ravens signed him off their practice squad and made him active for Sunday’s game. You may remember the 6-foot-5 wide receiver as the breakout star of February’s Super Bowl with his first four catches and NFL touchdown for the Seahawks.

Seattle released him Nov. 17.

Matthews had one catch for 21 yards in two targets while mostly lining up opposite Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman. In the fourth quarter Ravens quarterback Jimmy Clausen badly overthrew Matthews near the sideline. Sherman easily grabbed his second interception of the season — but went down not-so easily. Matthews pulled him to the turf by Sherman’s long, dreadlocked hair that sticks out the back of his helmet.

How much did Sherman like that?

“Remember the stories y’all were writing!” Bennett bellowed across the locker room as the media filed in. “Don’t write good stories now. You’ve got to write good stories now.”

Wilson is 89-for-118 (a completion rate of 75.4 percent) for 1,171 yards with those 16 TDs and no interceptions in the past four games. That’s a perfect passer rating of 158.3 in that span, one of the best such stretches in NFL history.

And it’s happening with star tight end Jimmy Graham plus top two running backs — Marshawn Lynch, and now Rawls — out.

His teammates may be impressed, but Wilson isn’t.

“No, I’m not surprised,” the unflappable QB said. “On to the next game.”

Rawls had 47 yards on his first five carries, bulling through defenders as usual, before he his left ankle was broken under a pile of Ravens at the end of a 3-yard loss at the Baltimore 8-yard line.

He walked off slowly with a limp.

He was replaced by DuJuan Harris, who was on the practice squad until eight days ago.

Harris had 42 yards on 18 carries. He lost a fumble at the Ravens 5 in the second quarter when his grip on the ball loosened as he made a cut left in traffic.

Meanwhile, Wilson was exquisite — again — behind his improved offensive line.

“I like it as much as kids like getting coal for Christmas,” he said.

Sherman said Matthews apologized. He added it was the third time that’s happened to him in a game, an opponent pulling his hair, but the first time he’d been tackled by such a tug.

Extra points Why the 141 points the last four games? Sustained drives. Seattle is 32-for-52 (62 percent) converting third downs. That number was 37 percent for the season last month. ... New starting cornerback DeShawn Shead got beaten on consecutive long throws down the sideline in the final minute of the first half to set up Baltimore’s second field goal. Then he left the game with a sprained ankle. He returned as the nickel defensive back in the second half — when Marcus Burley sprained his ankle. Head coach Pete Carroll said both “turned their ankles a little bit.” He said Shead being able to come back in the game “was a good sign” for the upcoming game. ... Bennett left briefly with a jammed toe he’s had before, but returned. ... Kelcie McCray, usually a special-teams standout, played the final three quarters at strong safety after Kam Chancellor bruised his tailbone. “He fit in fine,” Carroll said. “For the most part it looked like he was on his stuff.”

Right tackle Garry Gilliam, a college tight end at Penn State making his NFL debut at the position this season, stymied Baltimore’s elite pass rusher Elvis Dumervil. Gilliam repeatedly warded off the rushing outside linebacker with hand shivers then shuffled his feet quickly. That kept a sturdy edge to Wilson’s front side of that passing pocket.

“Tight and firm,” Gilliam said, repeating what the credo for pocket protection has been for the offensive line the last month.

Seattle allowed zero sacks on Sunday. It has given up just eight in its last six games. That’s after an NFL-high 31 sacks in the first seven games, when the Seahawks were 3-4.

That’s the underlying story to this turnaround.

“What they are doing is unbelievable,” Wilson said of his linemen. “All the plays, all the throws, are all because of them.”

Without three drops, including Willson’s in the end zone, Wilson’s passer rating in the half would have been 158.3. That’s officially, statistically perfect.

Just like his — and the Seahawks’ — past four games.

Not to mention their chemistry barreling toward another postseason.

“I’m sure you can feel it. And you can probably see it the way we’ve been playing,” Wilson said. “I don’t know if it can be much better.”

but it didn’t matter one iota. Quarterback Russell Wilson continued his scorching stretch by going 23-for-32 for 292 yards and five touchdowns with no interceptions, and Doug Baldwin caught three more TD passes to bring his total to eight in the past three games. The Seahawks were also fantastic on third down (8-for-12) and in the red zone (4-for-5).

Defense

Baltimore quarterback Jimmy AClausen surprisingly passed for 274 yards after managing just

63 when he started for Chicago against Seattle earlier in the season.

But the Seahawks completely shut down the Ravens’ running game, and Seattle’s defense has now gone two full games without allowing a touchdown.

Special teams

There weren’t a lot of opportuniB ties on special teams, as Seattle attempted no field goals, had only one return opportunity and punted just three times. Steven Hauschka booting every kickoff out of the end zone was useful. The punt coverage was not great on one occasion when the Ravens had a 24-yard return.

Coaching

The offensive play calling continA ues to work to perfection, with Wilson getting rid of the ball quickly (Baltimore had no sacks) and constantly having open receivers to throw to. After Clausen started finding a rhythm in the first half the Seahawks dialed up the blitz to good effect. Seattle seemed well prepared for its second straight trip back east for a 10 a.m. PST game.

Overall

This was Seattle’s second A straight dominating victory and fourth win in a row. The Seahawks

now occupy the NFC’s first wild-card spot and are playing as well as any team in the NFL. The only downside was the loss of Rawls, who suffered a broken ankle and torn ligaments and is done for the season. But even Rawls’ loss had no effect on Sunday’s outcome.

Panthers quarterback Cam Newton, who completed 15 of 21 passes for 265 yards and three touchdowns, celebrates during Carolina’s 38-0 victory over the Falcons on Sunday.

Panthers rout Falcons Carolina wins 38-0 , clinches first-round bye in playoffs

By Steve Reed Associated Press

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Cam Newton raced from one end of the Carolina Panthers’ sideline to the other in the final moments of a 38-0 rout of the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, raising his arms to the crowd as fans cheered on their emotional MVP candidate.

“I believe right now it’s our moment as Panthers,” Newton said with a smile as he praised the team’s fan base following his victory run. “We try to seize it as much as possible.”

Newton — and the fans — had plenty of reason to celebrate.

The fifth-year quarterback completed 15 of 21 passes for 265 yards and three touchdowns, and the unbeaten Panthers clinched a first-round bye in the NFC playoffs in what Newton described as the team’s most complete game.

It’s hard to argue that.

The Panthers outgained the Falcons 424-230, forced four turnovers and matched the franchise’s largest margin of victory.

It was never close.

Jonathan Stewart ran for a

1-yard touchdown and Newton connected on scoring strikes of 74 and 46 yards to Ted Ginn Jr. as the Panthers (13-0) scored on their first three possessions to take 21-0 first quarter lead.

Newton also threw a 4-yard TD pass to Ed Dickson in the final seconds of the first half before leaving for good at the end of the third quarter with Carolina up 38. He finished with a career-high quarterback rating of 153.3, and the Panthers won their 17th straight regular-season game.

“Don’t ease up on the gas,” Newton said. “... We want to be considered finishers.”

Carolina’s defense had two interceptions, two fumble recoveries and registered five sacks — two by defensive tackle Kawann Short — while limiting struggling Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan to 224 yards passing.

The Panthers played inspired football after allowing Drew Brees to throw for three TD passes last week in a narrow escape.

It was a devastating loss for the slumping Falcons (6-7), who started 5-0 but have lost six straight.

“It was about as badly as we

can play,” Ryan said. “That’s frustrating.”

Falcons coach Dan Quinn called the loss “unacceptable.”

“We look for smart, tough and finish,” Quinn said.

“That’s what I expect from our club. When that doesn’t happen, yes, I have a lot of disappointment.”

The two teams meet again on Dec. 27.

The Panthers can clinch the No. 1 seed before then if they beat the New York Giants and Arizona loses.

It seems the biggest issue the Panthers might have between now and the playoffs will be balancing winning and staying healthy.

There were some scary moments for Carolina on the injury front.

Stewart (left ankle), who ran for 75 yards, and tight end Greg Olsen (left knee) left the game in the second quarter and did not return. Coach Ron Rivera said both players could have returned to the game, but were held out because the team had a commanding lead.

However, Rivera said starting cornerback Bene Benwikere broke his left leg and is done for the season.

GREEN BAY, Wis. — With his offense mired by inconsistency this season, Packers coach Mike McCarthy decided to make a change this week.

He’s calling the plays again in Green Bay. Eddie Lacy ran for 124 yards and a touchdown and fellow running back James Starks added two scores in the Packers’ 28-7 win over the Dallas Cowboys.

Green Bay (9-4) has a onegame lead in the NFC North over Minnesota after its second straight victory following a 1-4 slide.

“It’s definitely a springboard for us,” Lacy said. “We have three games left, we’ve got to finish these games out.”

With 435 yards and 29 first downs, the Packers got better balance and production out of an offense that still struggled at times with penalties and shortyardage situations. The defense and running game came up with big plays in the fourth quarter.

The biggest change for the Packers this week was McCarthy taking back play-calling responsibility from associate head coach Tom Clements. He called it a tough personal decision to make with a long-time assistant.

“But professionally it was what I felt I needed to do,” McCarthy said.

Instead of suggesting plays to Clements, as he had the past four weeks, it was now Clements suggesting plays to McCarthy.

So there was McCarthy again, communicating the final calls to quarterback Aaron Rodgers, a combination that had worked so well for so many years.

“But I don’t think it’s been about the play-calling,” quarterback Aaron Rodgers said. “It’s been about the execution. We haven’t executed really well.

Today was a little better.”

Whatever the reason, the Packers pulled away in the end.

Dallas’ touchdown came on Robert Turbin’s 7-yard run midway through the third quarter to make it 14-7.

The Cowboys (4-9) suffered a setback to their chances of winning the mediocre NFC East.

“These teams, teams like Green Bay, they’re going to go to another level here as they get on near the playoffs,” Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said. “That’s the way you do it in the NFL, and we weren’t up to it tonight.”

Rodgers threw for 218 yards and two scores. But all the Packers really needed from their star quarterback late in the game was to hand off the ball.

SUNDAY | Roundup

Patriots beat Texans 27-6, clinch playoff spot Associated Press HOUSTON — Tom Brady got Rob Gronkowski back and it helped the New England Patriots return to the win column and clinch a playoff spot.

Brady threw for 226 yards and two touchdowns and the Patriots snapped a two-game skid with a 27-6 win over the Houston Texans on Sunday night.

The Patriots (11-2) moved ahead of the Denver Broncos and the Cincinnati Bengals in the race for the top AFC playoff seed and can clinch the AFC East with one win, or with one loss or tie by the New York Jets. New England hasn’t lost three straight games since 2002.

Brady threw TD passes to Keshawn Martin and Gronkowski in the first half to help New England build a 17-6 lead. Gronkowski had four receptions for 87 yards and a touchdown in his return after missing last week’s game with a knee injury.

Texans quarterack Brian Hoyer was sacked five times and left the game to be evaluated for a concussion with about 9 minutes remaining. The quarterback already missed a game this season after getting a concussion on Nov. 16.

Raiders 15, Broncos 12 DENVER — Khalil Mack had five sacks of Brock Osweiler, including one in the end zone for a safety, and Derek Carr bounced back from an awful first half.

Carr threw two touchdown passes and the Raiders (6-7) beat the Broncos for the first time since Sept. 12, 2011, despite being held to minus-12 yards in the first half — the worst performance by a team heading into halftime in nearly a quarter-century.

The Broncos (10-3) failed to hold onto a 12-0 halftime lead or several on-target throws from Osweiler, including two big drops by Demaryius Thomas, one for a touchdown and another for a late first down.

Redskins 24, Bears 21 CHICAGO — Kirk Cousins threw for 300 yards and a touchdown and the Redskins hung on to beat the Bears after Chicago’s Robbie Gould missed yet another late field goal.

Washington, which came in tied with Philadelphia and the Giants for the NFC East lead, went ahead early in the fourth quarter on Dustin Hopkins’ 47-yard field goal. The Redskins (6-7) broke a nine-game road losing streak dating to last season.

The Bears (5-8) were in position to score after Jay Cutler hit Alshon Jeffery with a 50-yard pass that put the ball on the Washington 35. The usually reliable Gould, who missed the potential winner at the end of regulation in last week’s overtime loss to San Francisco, got a chance to redeem himself.

His 50-yard attempt wasn’t even close as it sailed wide right.

Jaguars 51, Colts 16 JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Blake Bortles threw three touchdown passes and ran for a score — all in the second half — and the Jaguars ended the Colts’ 16-game winning streak in the AFC South.

Indianapolis’ division streak was the longest in NFL history. The Colts’ previous loss against the AFC South came on Dec. 16, 2012, at Houston.

Chiefs 10, Chargers 3 KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Chiefs kept San Diego out of the end zone twice in the final seconds for their seventh consecutive win.

Alex Smith threw for 191 yards and a touchdown, along with his first interception after a franchise-record 312 attempts. But it was a banged-up defense that held San Diego without a touchdown for the second time this season that allowed the Chiefs (8-5) to escape.

The Chargers (3-10) took over at their 11 with 5 minutes left and quickly moved into Kansas City territory, converting fourth down three times. But after San Diego was called for delay of game at the Chiefs 1 with 5 seconds left, Philip Rivers threw incomplete into the end zone.

San Diego still had 2 seconds left, and an incomplete pass that would have ended the game was blown dead for a false start. With the ball pushed back to the 11-yard line, Rivers scrambled to his right and threw to the end zone, where his pass final pass fell incomplete.

Jets 30, Titans 8 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Ryan Fitzpatrick threw three touchdown passes and New York’s stingy defense stifled Marcus Mariota and the Titans’ offense for most of the game.

Saints 24, Bucs 17 TAMPA, Fla. — Drew Brees threw a pair of touchdown passes to Marques Colston and the Saints stopped a four-game losing streak, Brees completed 31 of 41 passes for 312 yards without an interception.

Rams 21, Lions 14 ST. LOUIS — Todd Gurley ran for 140 yards and two second-half touchdowns, and the Rams ended a five-game losing streak.

Eagles spoil McCoy’s day, beat Bills 23-20

SEAHAWKS’ NEXT OPPONENT | Cleveland Browns

Associated Press

CINCINNATI — Andy Dalton’s right thumb hurt a bit as he came to the sideline. He gripped a football to gauge how much he had hurt his passing hand while making a tackle.

One painful squeeze told him something was badly wrong.

Dalton broke his thumb while making a tackle after his interception on Sunday, turning Cincinnati’s season upside-down in an instant. With a chance to clinch the AFC North at home, the Bengals lost their quarterback and got blown out, too.

The Pittsburgh Steelers battered backup AJ McCarron while pulling away to a 33-20 victory that left the division and the top AFC playoff seed up for grabs.

“It’s huge frustration,” Bengals left tackle Andrew Whitworth said.

Cincinnati (10-3) is just waiting to see how long it will be without Dalton, who had the NFL’s top passer rating heading into the game. He will see a specialist on Monday to get a better idea of the treatment options.

ESPN.com reported Dalton will miss the rest of the season, according to team sources.

“Mentally I’m fine,” said Dalton, wearing a black cast. “It’s unfortunate it happened at this point in the season. I’m doing all right. There are a lot of people who are way worse off than I am.”

The Steelers (8-5) rumbled with the Bengals during pregame warmups and then led the whole way, sending Cincinnati to its first lopsided loss of the season.

William Gay returned one of McCarron’s passes 23 yards for a touchdown, and Pittsburgh’s resurgent offense kept rolling.

Pittsburgh has scored 30 points in five straight games, a franchise record.

The game — and potentially Cincinnati’s season — turned on one interception. Stephon Truitt picked off Dalton’s shovel pass in the first quarter, and Dalton got hurt while making the tackle.

Dalton has been one of the NFL’s most durable quarterbacks, missing only half a game during his five seasons because of injury. Now, the Bengals’ chances are in the hands of a second-year quarterback from Alabama who missed all of his rookie season with a sore passing shoulder.

“If you don’t (have confidence) you’re doomed,” said McCarron.

“I’ve always believed in myself when I’ve stepped between those white lines where it’s a nasty and dirty game. If you lose confidence it can go bad for you real quick.”

PHILADELPHIA — Sam Bradford and a tenacious defense ruined LeSean McCoy’s homecoming.

Caleb Sturgis kicked a 30-yard field goal with 3:26 left, Ed Reynolds intercepted Tyrod Taylor’s pass in the final minutes and the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Buffalo Bills 23-20 on Sunday.

McCoy had 74 yards rushing and 35 receiving in his return to Philadelphia. The two-time All-Pro kissed the Eagles logo at midfield before the coin toss and hugged owner Jeffrey Lurie.

He was the first player off the field after the game, sprinting toward the locker room immediately when the clock expired and slammed his helmet into the wall.

“I got nothing to say,” he told a crowd of reporters around his locker.

The Eagles (6-7) and Redskins (6-7) are tied atop the NFC East.

The New York Giants (5-7) could make it a three-way tie with a win at Miami on Monday night.

The Bills (6-7) fell two games behind in the AFC wild-card race.

Taylor’s streak of 222 passes without a pick ended when his deep pass went right to Reynolds with 1:16 remaining.

Bradford threw for 247 yards, including a 53-yard TD to Nelson Agholor. The Eagles are 6-2 in the past eight games Bradford has started and finished.

“I feel more comfortable, more confident in what we’re doing,” he said.

McCoy, the Eagles’ all-time leading rusher, was dealt to Buffalo for linebacker Kiko Alonso last March. He was bitter about the trade and criticized coach Chip Kelly several times afterward.

He never approached Kelly after saying last week he didn’t want to shake his hand or talk to him.

Fans gave McCoy a mixed reaction before the game with some cheers and a few boos. Many wore No. 25 jerseys in Bills and Eagles colors.

The Bills rallied from a 20-10 deficit in the third quarter.

One play after Taylor ran 14 yards on third-and-13, Mike Gillislee had a 19-yard TD run to tie it at 20-20.

Bradford tossed a 41-yard pass to Zach Ertz on third-and-3 to set up Philadelphia’s go-ahead field goal.

“Sam played outstanding,” Kelly said.

“I thought we were the better team, but obviously we got beat,” Bills coach Rex Ryan said. “We have ourselves to blame.”

Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel completed 21 of 31 passes for 270 yards and a touchdown with one interception as Cleveland defeated the 49ers 24-10 on Sunday.

Manziel helps Browns snap seven-game losing streak with 24-10 victory over the 49ers

By Tom Withers Associated Press

CLEVELAND — Sitting on the sideline, Johnny Manziel was angry and frustrated.

More importantly for the Cleveland Browns, he held himself accountable.

Upset for throwing an interception late in the first half, Manziel vented by bashing a tablet on his head before recovering to throw a touchdown pass in the second half and leading Cleveland to a 24-10 win on Sunday over the San Francisco 49ers, ending the Browns’ seven-game losing streak.

“I probably overreacted a little bit,” Manziel said.

Johnny Football finally accepted some blame.

Manziel passed for 270 yards, delivering a quality performance he and the Browns (3-10) desperately needed. He tossed a 2-yard TD pass to Gary Barnidge in the third quarter as Cleveland won for the first time since Oct. 11 and took some pressure off coach Mike Pettine.

Isaiah Crowell rushed for 145 yards and had two short TD runs for Cleveland, which won its first

game in December since 2012.

The inept 49ers (4-9) allowed nine sacks and managed just 127 yards on offense before a 94-yard drive in garbage time.

“Maybe we did take them a little light,” said Niners linebacker Ahmad Brooks. “We got the win last week and maybe we got a little big headed.”

Manziel was back on the field after being benched two games

by Pettine for partying during Cleveland’s bye week after he had promised not to be a distraction. The 23-year-old was thankful to get a second chance and made the most of it while giving the Browns hope he may still blossom into a franchise QB. Manziel overcame his one glaring mistake, accurately found wide-open receivers and looked more like an NFL starter that at any point in his two seasons as a pro.

“I’ve only gotten to play six or seven games,” said Manziel, who went 21 for 31. “The number is starting to climb but for me, these mean a lot to me. I still have a lot to prove. I feel like I’m just getting started.”

Making his first start since throwing for a career-high 372

yards on Nov. 15 at Pittsburgh, Manziel was sharp in the first half with the exception of one bone-headed play.

With the Browns near midfield, Manziel was forced from the pocket and scrambled near the Browns sideline.

But instead of running out of bounds or throwing the ball away, Manziel forced a pass over the middle that was intercepted by Niners safety Jaquiski Tartt, who returned it 25 yards.

Manziel stormed off the field and slammed his helmet to the ground. He took a seat, and when he reviewed the play on one of the sideline tablets, he saw that Barnidge had come open on the play. That’s when he had his temper tantrum.

“I probably shouldn’t have overreacted the way I did, but it’s the NFL and when those chances are there, you’ve got to make the most of them,” he said.

“It was a natural reaction, he knew he messed up,” Pettine said. “It would bother me more if he just ‘whatever’ and walked off. If it’s towards himself over frustration from doing something bone-headed, I have no problem with it.”
