A major issue facing members is what to do with the taxes that were collected for the now defunct courthouse. By Noah Haglund Herald Writer

EVERETT — A phantom courthouse will loom over Snohomish County Council

members when they try to pass a new budget Monday. Plans for an eight-story replacement courthouse died over the summer, a week before crews were supposed to break

ground. The question now is what to do with the stream of taxes collected for a project that fell apart for political and financial reasons. The 2016 budget Executive John Lovick proposed at the end of September would cut $4 million in annual taxes that were to be used to pay

down courthouse construction bonds. Lovick sought an early exit from bond obligations, keeping a small stream of money for emergency fixes at the current 1967-vintage courthouse. An amended budget that See BUDGET, Page A2

EVERETT — Snohomish County Fire District 1 wants to change how it charges property owners, in a way the district says could be fairer for most taxpayers. There’s a hitch, though. Even if voters give the thumbs up, there’s no more room for another charge on the tax bills sent out by the Snohomish County’s treasurer’s office. The fire district is concerned that having two separate tax statements might “cause taxpayer confusion,” according to an Oct. 6 resolution by the board. Because of that, the district “regrettably deferred” on attempting a 2015 ballot measure asking voters to approve the new tax. Now, fire district staff are working with the county to see if more room can be found on the tax form. That might mean using a smaller font. Fonts were being tested down to size 6 — half the size most commonly used for business communication. Still, they’d be left with the same number of lines for room — about a dozen. “The only way to increase the lines is to get a legal-sized statement, which would be cumbersome and cost more to send out,” County Treasurer Kirke Sievers said. “If we agree with them, all of the other fire districts would want to do the same thing.” The current font size used is 10, and “I get enough calls from the elderly who can’t read the statement now,” he said. District officials hope to figure out a solution in early 2016, fire board Chairman Jim Kenny said. “Nothing’s been fixed yet,” he said. See TAX, Page A2

Budget From Page A1

Council Chairman Dave Somers released last week includes no such tax cut. The old courthouse still needs to be replaced, Somers reasons, so it makes no sense to eliminate the funding before deciding on a plan. “I propose coming back the first quarter of 2016 and having discussions with the council in regards to the options that we have for the courthouse project,” he said. “In the meantime, we set aside the dollars we have raised for that project, pending a decision by the council.” Somers won the executive’s job when he

challenged Lovick in the Nov. 3 election and is set to change roles next year. All five council members are scheduled to vote on the courthouse tax cut, and other questions, at Monday’s 10:30 a.m. budget hearing. There’s bound to be disagreement. Councilman Brian Sullivan, like Somers, thinks it’s imperative to replace the old courthouse. He sees that happening on a longer time frame and favors Lovick’s idea of retiring — in financial terms “defeasing” — most of the $75 million courthouse bonds the county took out in 2013. “There’s no way to move forward, from all the numbers I’ve seen,” Sullivan said. “It’s my express hope that all branches of government work together to

solve this problem.” Sullivan also wants voters to approve future tax hikes to pay for the courthouse. If Lovick’s tax cut doesn’t materialize, Sullivan said he’ll push to freeze that money in a special account. Taxes for the courthouse project are the most obvious difference between the competing versions of the budget, but hardly the only one. Somers recommends spending slightly more than Lovick, about $230 million versus $228 million. Both versions would fund about 2,800 employees. Neither leader is seeking a 1 percent property-tax hike for the county’s general levy. Many cities and other local governments include a 1 percent increase

in their annual budget as a matter of course. Somers does recommend a 1 percent increase to road and conservation futures levies, which Lovick advised keeping at 2015 levels. Somers’ budget would raise an extra $575,000 for road projects in 2016. The 1 percent increase would cost an extra $4.53 per year for the owner of a house assessed at $307,100, the average assessed value for unincorporated areas. The roads levy applies only to unincorporated areas. A 1 percent increase in the conservation futures levy would cost an extra 27 cents per year for the owner of a home assessed at the countywide average of $300,000. That levy is collected countywide to buy future park land and open space.

Lovick sought to use more than $5 million in road-levy money to support sheriff’s office traffic enforcement activities. Somers proposes reducing that amount by more than $800,000, but making up the difference through other sources. Somers’ budget would follow Lovick’s recommendation of directing $400,000 toward First Steps, a social services program for young mothers. Both plans aim to strengthen the county’s budget reserves, Somers’ at a faster rate, reaching 11 percent by next year. Strong reserves help maintain cash flow and a healthy bond rating.

Pierce counties. Earlier this year, District 1 Fire Chief Ed Widdis said the benefit charge would be calculated based on the size and type of buildings, instead of assessed value. That means owners of commercial buildings and apartment complexes would pay more than single-family homeowners. Fire districts can’t adopt the charge without a public vote and a supermajority — 60 percent — in support. Widdis in May said that a

number of public meetings also showed the district needed more time to talk to people about the proposal. The change would affect people in the district’s unincorporated areas south of Everett, but not those living in the contract cities of Brier, Edmonds and Mountlake Terrace. More public hearings will follow, Kenny said. One thing the fire district hasn’t produced yet is a formula, including a promised online calculator,

for people to figure out how their fire taxes would change. They haven’t gotten that far yet, Kenny said. The ballot measure could appear in 2016, if the font size and other details get figured out. The county might consider allowing the district to combine the new charge with its old charge on the tax bills, Kenny said. “If they can be consolidated together on the same line, if they can, if they agree, we have a nontechnical solution to the

problem,” Kenny said. However, county prosecutors reviewed state laws, and they’re not sure such a move would be legal, Sievers said. If something doesn’t get worked out in the next few months, the idea might be tabled until the county does a software upgrade that will allow them to reconfigure the tax forms. That’s expected to wrap up in 2017. Rikki King: 425-339-3449; rking@heraldnet.com.

Sale of district center to YMCA finalized By Chris Winters Herald Writer

EVERETT — The YMCA of Snohomish County on Friday finalized its purchase of Everett Public Schools’ former Educational Service Center at 4710 Colby Ave.

The YMCA and the district announced the sale in May, and ultimately agreed on a $3.325 million purchase price after a competitive bidding process for the lot and its buildings. Part of the reason the deal took a long time to close was because the YMCA wanted to do

a thorough environmental study on the site, which did not reveal any causes for concern, president and CEO Scott Washburn said. The YMCA intends to demolish the old buildings on the 8.1-acre site and build a new Everett facility to replace its current building in downtown Everett.

Parts of the Everett Y are nearly 100 years old. Plans have not been drawn up, and construction is not likely to start on a new YMCA before 2018, Washburn said. “It’s too early to see what size facility will be built there,” Washburn said.

The current downtown facility has about 100,000 square feet of space, but there’s no elevator and much of the upper stories are underutilized. The new building might have a smaller footprint, but would be See SALE, Page A6

Tweaks for north end of I-405 toll project

The fourth parcel fronting Airport Road has a triplex apartment building on it. Ducheane said he’s in talks to sell the 0.3acre parcel to another developer to build a hotel on it. Large sports facilities aren’t common, and Ducheane thinks the closest comparison to what he hopes to build is Excel Sports Academy in Tacoma, a privately-owned 30,000 square-foot facility that offers youth basketball, volleyball and baseball training.

he state is making some changes to the troublesome north end of its I-405 tolling project. But it’s waiting on any big changes, meaning drivers frustrated by longer commutes may not be fully satisfied. Among the changes: ■ Tolls now increase a bit earlier in the morning between Highway 527 (Canyon Park) and NE 195th Street (Bothell) to better manage traffic that had been clogging the specialty lane. ■ Double white striping will be pulled back about 400 feet to allow more room to merge to I-5 from the end of the express toll lanes in Lynnwood. State figures show it takes less time to travel the 17-mile length of I-405 that includes tolling than it did this time last year. That’s true for toll-lane users as well as general purpose lane drivers. The key exception is the evening commute northbound at Bothell. Heavy congestion north of Bothell now starts earlier for the evening commute and builds from there, spreading from 3:30 to 7 p.m., reports the Washington State Department of Transportation. Travel times between Bothell to Lynnwood have been between 5 and 10 minutes longer than the 2014 average. The reason? As part of the tolling project, the state added a new lane south of Highway 522. Crews also improved the interchange at Highway 522, pushing clog points further north. Heading north now, five lanes of traffic go down to three lanes, creating a congestion-inducing bottleneck. “Improving this section is a very high priority for our traffic engineers,” wrote spokesman Ethan Bergerson in a WSDOT Blog post about the topic. “We are looking very closely at what we can do in this section. The solution may lie in changing the access points, but it is difficult to predict the exact effects of more access and we need to be sure that our actions would create benefits before we make a change.” Temporary striping will make any changes easier. But for now the state is sticking to its

Teacher grateful for opportunity, WWU program By Kera Wanielista Skagit Valley Herald

BURLINGTON — While growing up in Mexico, Berenice Rodriguez would often play a game with her young cousins: They would be the students and she the teacher. Even at 8 years old, Rodriguez knew teaching was what she wanted to do. Her dream was reaffirmed when she moved to the United States and began attending seventh grade at Allen Elementary School in Bow. Not only did she know she wanted to be a teacher, she realized she wanted to be a teacher in the Burlington-Edison School District. “I just felt like I had been given so much from this community,” Rodriguez said. “And I just felt like I had to do something in return.” Despite how much she wanted it, Rodriguez believed teaching was a dream she couldn’t reach as an undocumented student. “When I was in high school, people always told me, ‘You’re not going to be able to go to college,’ ” Rodriguez said. Today, she is a few months into her career as a second-grade teacher at West View Elementary School, the BurlingtonEdison School District’s dual-language school. “Now that I’m here, I love it,” Rodriguez said. Her journey wouldn’t have been possible without support from her family, colleagues, the district and a program at Western Washington University that paved the way for her and 14 others to follow their dreams. “For many of them, this was an opportunity they just couldn’t believe,” said Maria Timmons-Flores, director

I never had a teacher who spoke my language, or who looked like me. I feel like I never really connected with many of my teachers because they didn’t know what it was like to work in the fields. — Berenice Rodriguez, Burlington dual-language teacher

of Pathways to Teaching at WWU’s Woodring College of Education. Two years ago, the university began the Pathways to Teaching program in an attempt to get more teachers of color, especially bilingual teachers, into the classrooms, TimmonsFlores said. Statewide, about 43 percent of students are of color, while 92 percent of teachers are white, she said. “Everyone can be the kind of teacher that students need,” Timmons-Flores said. “But sometimes, there’s a different kind of resonance, or magic, when someone really does understand who you are and where you come from.” Growing up, Rodriguez knew that feeling all too well. “I never had a teacher who spoke my language, or who looked like me,” she said. “I feel like I never really connected with many of my teachers because they didn’t know what it was like to work in the fields.” Throughout school, Rodriguez always said she felt lonely. She wasn’t in English Language Learners classes and didn’t push herself in high school, she said. “Why would I take hard classes if there was no hope for me?” she said.

During her senior year at Burlington-Edison High School, she learned it would finally be possible for her to attend college and earn scholarships. A new law allowed students without documentation to receive in-state tuition, she said. Even then, college seemed inaccessible, she said. “I was thinking ‘OK, I can go to college now, but how am I going to pay for it?’ ” That’s why she was surprised to learn in her senior year that she had been awarded one of Skagit Valley College’s Champions of Diversity scholarships, which made it possible for her to attend WWU and pursue her passion. But there was a catch: Because of her legal status, Rodriguez was still ineligible to receive her teaching degree. At that point, Rodriguez said, she considered dropping out, but she knew that wasn’t what her family would have wanted. “They kept telling me, ‘We moved here for a reason, so you can have a better education,”’ Rodriguez said. In 2009, Rodriguez graduated with a bachelor’s degree in general studies. Without clear legal

status, Rodriguez said opportunities were few and far between. She became a stay-at-home mom, working the fields with her parents in the summer. Around the time she became pregnant with her second child, an opportunity arose: the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals Act made it possible for Rodriguez to get a work permit. “The first thing I did was go to the Burlington-Edison (School District) page and (look) ‘Are there any jobs for me?”’ she said. There was a position for an ELL instructional assistant at Lucille-Umbarger Elementary School. “In all of the interviews I’ve ever been on, hers was probably the most impressive,” said former Lucille-Umbarger Principal Bryan Jones, who is now the district’s director of equity and assessment. “(She) was just phenomenal.” Even before becoming a

teacher, having Rodriguez work at Lucille Umbarger made it easier for the school to help students and their families because she spoke their language and shared a culture, Jones said. “To keep her in our school system is exactly what this program was able to do,” Jones said. Rodriguez’s school colleagues and district staff encouraged her to get involved with the new Pathways program at WWU. Rodriguez, however, was unsure. “They kept sending me emails, and I kept deleting them,” she said. “I felt like I was going to go and get rejected again.” Then she found out the program was designed for people from different backgrounds trying to overcome the obstacles put in front of them on their path to teaching. It allowed her to pursue her dreams while keeping her job in the Burlington-Edison

School District. Of the 15 students in the program, eight were from either the BurlingtonEdison or Mount Vernon school districts, TimmonsFlores said. Like Rodriguez, many were bilingual and employed by school districts in a capacity that had them working directly with children. “There’s a comfort and respect in their classrooms, and that’s powerful and tangible,” Timmons-Flores said. After two years of work, the 15 students were awarded bachelor’s degrees from the university in June, as well as elementary education certificates with ELL/bilingual endorsements. They all went back to work in either their home districts or neighboring districts, Timmons-Flores said. “That’s the thing about these teachers,” she said. “They’re not going anywhere. This is their community.”

Few PUD customers still without power Herald staff EVERETT — Linemen have restored power to nearly all of the 150,000 Snohomish County PUD customers who lost electricity during this past Tuesday’s windstorm. There are a few customers still in the dark, but in those cases, homeowners must make some repairs before the Public Utility District can restore power,

PUD spokesman Bob Bolerjack said. Repair crews and support teams have been working around the clock since the storm. Shortly after midnight Sunday, the PUD closed its storm center, which coordinates repair work, he said. For several days, the PUD had about 1,000 additional people working in the field or providing administrative and logistical support.

Fishing at the heart of Lummi Nation LUMMI RESERVATION — Members of Lummi Nation say that for them, fishing is different. Tribal and nontribal fishers alike must keep to the seasons and mind their catch quotas. Still, for most Washington residents, fishing is a privilege granted by the state government, said Jay Julius, a Lummi member who has a seat on the tribe’s council. The tribe, on the other hand, has been fishing for 150 generations, Julius said. “To us, culture is fish and fish is culture,” he said. “It’s more than a privilege, it’s who we are. “It’s in our DNA.”

‘The easy part’ Julius needed less than an hour on Sept. 15 to pull up seven crab pots he had set that morning, within sight of the BP Cherry Point dock. With the help of his daughter, Teja Julius, and another family member, Austin Brockie, Julius grabbed 160 or 170 pounds of legal-size Dungeness crab out of the pots. For Julius, that equated to about $800 — a fraction of his total haul during a 24-hour fishing derby Sept. 15-16. The payoff wasn’t as easy as it looked. “The life of a fisherman isn’t just when the season’s open,” Julius said. “We’re trying to figure out different strategies, or how to improve our fishing. So for me it was the week before, staying up at night, thinking where I’m going to set and how deep I’m going to go, and what the tides are doing.” The day before he went crabbing, Julius ordered 1,100 pounds of frozen salmon that had to be chopped for bait. “It’s a process,” Julius said in an interview a week after the 24-hour crab derby. “You guys got to see the easy part.” One-day crab seasons in the summer provide an economic lift to tribes by allowing them to bring crab to market when prices are higher. “We do that because of the economic value of it,” said Dana Wilson, a Lummi member who has been fishing since he was a child, half a century ago. “We get more value out of those crab fishing shorter periods and feeding the market, rather than flooding the market.” A 24-hour season can be hectic. “Look at it this way,” Wilson said. “If you had 24 hours to pay your bills, would you sleep?”

Ducheane estimates that his new sports complex will cost $13 million-$14 million to build. “Our big key right now is we’re waiting on financing,” he said. Some early investors

‘Complete silence’ Not all fishing is about making ends meet. Julius related a story his uncle liked to tell, about “how we were so dirt poor and we didn’t even know it.” “You go to the outside world and we’re looked at as dirt poor, but in our eyes we’re rich,” Julius said. “Everything’s taken care of. Food’s right there in the river. But the most important thing is family and relationship and (being) close with all your immediate relatives and a village.” Three years ago, the tribe revived the traditional practice of reefnet fishing. Fishers off Cherry Point lay a net between two canoes. Then they pull up the net when a school of sockeye salmon swims between them. Tribal members built the canoe and the net by hand. Why would the tribe, which ordinarily uses the same modern technologies as other fishers, bother with an ancient fishing practice that isn’t as productive? “You’re speaking financially,” Julius said in response to this question. “It’s not about the quantity of fish that we caught. It’s about the culture and the history instilled in the youth that are on those canoes.” “Reefnet is something that we were gifted from our creator, and reintroducing that back, and the importance of that, is something that is taking place today as we speak,” Julius said. The old fishing techniques, unperturbed by the sound of motors, provide something more than a connection to history for Julius. “It’s complete silence,” Julius said. “There are many ways of fishing that might not make financial sense, but some fishermen don’t need much in terms of financial gain,” Julius said. “Believe it or not, for me a large portion of my fishing is my therapy. It’s being one with the water and being out there in the islands, in my homeland.” “When I go to Stuart Island and camp for a few days with my son and daughter, I just really appreciate no planes flying over and no cars,” Julius said. “We get so caught up in today and what’s normal today. When you look and sit and listen, we’re surrounded by chaos, everywhere.”

Everyone fished Wilson, 58, tagged along with his father when he

dropped out, so he’s seeking more, he added. If the financing gets lined up, Ducheane estimates that he’d be able to open the facility within two years. “This is new. There’s nothing like this in the entire area,” he said. Chris Winters: 425374-4165; cwinters@ heraldnet.com. Twitter: @ Chris_At_Herald.

EVAN ABELL / THE BELLINGHAM HERALD

Lummi fisherman Jay Julius steers his boat as his cousin, Austin Brockie, and daughter, Teja Julius, sort through fresh-caught crab near Cherry Point on Sept. 15.

Chris Gregoire declared a fishing disaster in 2008. The Lummi fleet of purse seiners declined from more than 30 to just two or three at one point, Julius said. “The returns have just struggled. The fish are struggling,” he said. “A halibut fisherman could catch a lot of halibut — and big halibut. Now you really have to hunt for them. The sizes are getting a little smaller. It’s a little tougher to come across those 100-pounders.”

Fishery opens The Quinault Indian Nation has opened its crab fishery in the Grays Harbor area. The tribal fishing area is one of the few spared by a toxic algal bloom on the Pacific coast. The tribe said its crabs are being tested regularly by the Washington Department of Health to be certain they are safe to eat. Quinault fisheries spokesman Ed Johnstone said they decided to open the crab fishery after consulting with the state. Washington and Oregon have delayed the start of their commercial crab seasons until Dec. 1 because of the algal bloom. But state officials said the crab caught by tribal fisheries in Grays Harbor and adjacent ocean are safe. Officials plan to keep testing crabs and open the commercial season as soon as possible.

went seine fishing for the Alaska Packers Association in the early 1960s. By age 14 or 15, Wilson was taking his dad’s boat out on the Nooksack River to fish on his own. When he was a teenager, all of his friends fished, too. “There wasn’t a person that wasn’t — that I knew,” Wilson said. Wilson learned to read the sea from his grandmother, who could tell from her front porch where to find squawfish and grunters at low tide. “That’s how she survived,” Wilson said. “There was no store for her to go to.”

Dying wish

Now Wilson passes on what he knows to his grandchildren. “That’s how things get handed down to us, and that doesn’t change.” Wilson and Julius, 40, both remember when salmon were more plentiful. A strong El Niño in the winter of 1997-98 warmed the water off Puget Sound, making it harder for salmon to survive. Poor Fraser River sockeye runs persisted after the big El Niño, and the-Gov.

About 450 fishing vessels are registered at Lummi Nation, down from more than 700 in the 1980s, tribal Chairman Tim Ballew said. “We’re currently the largest native commercial fishing fleet in the country, and for the most part we always have been,” Ballew said. “But there’s definitely been a decline.” Hundreds of tribal members who were forced out of fishing by weak sockeye runs got retraining through

federal grants totaling $4.3 million to Lummi Nation alone. The most recent grant in December 2014, for $882,032, helped 630 Lummi fishers who were laid off find new jobs. “You have a lot of people ... who were lifelong fishermen and then had to go get an education and move on,” Julius said. Fishing remains important to a lot of those who lost their livelihoods in it. Tribal members in other professions schedule their vacations around fishing seasons — not for recreation but as a second income. Lummi members who are terminally ill often say they want to go fishing again before they die. “It means that much to that man that he’ll say, ‘If I could do it one more time, that’s what I would do,’ ” Wilson said. “It’s not go to the moon. It’s not go to the mall. It’s not go have a steak. It’s not to go visit Hawaii or Mexico or on a vacation — bring me fishing one more time.”

Boeing fires, reprimands Everett workers for sexting Herald staff EVERETT — The Boeing Co. says it has fired and disciplined several workers for “inappropriate personal behavior.” The Everett plant workers had been using

company-issued phones for sexting — sending sexually explicit images by text message, according to sources at the company. The sources were not allowed to publicly speak about the matter. A Boeing spokesman

would not comment on what prompted the disciplinary action. “The actions of a few in no way represent our thousands of employees,” the company said in its statement on the matter.

One lane reopened on U.S. 2; highway will close Tuesday night SKYKOMISH — Cars and trucks started rolling Sunday morning over U.S. 2 to the east of Skykomish for the first time since storm damage shut down the highway this past week. Only a single lane over a bridge damaged in the storm is open with traffic alternating between eastbound and westbound. All of the highway’s three lanes are expected to reopen Tuesday. The highway will be closed from 9 p.m. Tuesday until 5 a.m. Wednesday while crews replace a culvert damaged in the storm. Traffic was light after the road reopened at about 10 a.m. Sunday, said state Department of Transportation spokeswoman Harmony Weinberg. “We’re moving again, and that was our goal,” she said. Heavy loads are not allowed over the bridge. The storm washed away much of the soil supporting the bridge’s foundation. Contractor crews set up a temporary support system to reopen U.S. 2. They can make long-term repairs while traffic is moving across the bridge.

Olympia: Oil transport rules State regulators are working on new rules that will guide the transportation of crude oil across the state. The Department of Ecology is developing a rule that will require facilities to give the state advance weekly notice about crude oil shipments they receive. Pipelines would be required to provide biannual notice. The agency also is figuring out what type of information the state will disclose to emergency responders, local and tribal governments and the public. And it’s also establishing requirements for railroad operators that haul crude oil to have oilspill response and drill plans. The rules are part of an oil safety transportation measure state lawmakers passed earlier this year. The department plans to seek public input before finalizing requirements.

And if you’ve noticed it takes longer to travel I-405 on weekends compared to pre-tolling days, you’re not alone. Staff note that fewer drivers use the toll lanes on weekends, perhaps a trend that will change with time as many folks still wait for Flex Passes to arrive and as more drivers become more used to the lanes.

Brussels extends highest alert

16 arrested in raids aound Belgium; Paris fugitive still on lam By Raf Casert and Frank Jordans Associated Press

BRUSSELS — Belgian prosecutors announced early Monday that police had detained 16 people in 22 raids but that Paris fugitive Salah Abdeslam was not among them. Despite the raids, authorities maintained their highest terror alert in the capital for a third straight day. Federal prosecutor Eric Van Der Sypt said 19 raids were carried out in Molenbeek and other boroughs of Brussels and three raids were carried out in other cities. “We have to stress that no firearms or explosives were discovered ... during the raids,” Van Der Sypt said. “Certain elements in the investigation made Sunday’s intervention necessary. The investigation will in any case be relentlessly continued.” One of those detained was injured when a car he was in tried to ram police during an attempted getaway, Van Der Sypt said. The raids capped a tense day with hundreds of troops patrolling and authorities hunting for one or more suspected militants. Citing a “serious and imminent” threat, Prime Minister Charles Michel announced that schools and universities in Brussels will be closed Monday, with the subway remaining shut down, preventing a return to normal in the city that is also home to the European Union’s main institutions. “We fear an attack like in Paris, with several individuals, perhaps in several places,” Michel said after chairing a meeting of Belgium’s National Security Council. The rest of the country remains on a Level 3 alert, meaning an attack is “possible and likely.” “Nobody is pleased with such a situation. Neither are we. But we have to take our responsibility,” Michel said. Western leaders stepped up the rhetoric against the Islamic State group, which has claimed responsibility for the attacks in Paris that killed 130 people and wounded hundreds more; the suicide bombings in

Two tourists walk on a deserted street towards the main train station in the center of Brussels on Sunday as the city entered its second day under the highest threat level.

Police lead away a man during a raid in Brussels on Sunday. Sixteen people were detained in anti-terror raids Sunday in Belgium.

Beirut that killed 43 people and injured more than 200; and the downing of the Russian jetliner carrying 224 people in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula. All happened within the past month. “We will not accept the idea that terrorist assaults on restaurants and theaters and hotels are the new normal, or that we are powerless to stop them,” President Barack Obama said in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. French Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said IS must be destroyed at all costs. “We must annihilate Islamic State worldwide ... and we must destroy Islamic State on its own territory,” Le Drian said. “That’s the only possible direction.” The decision to put Brussels on the highest alert came early Saturday as authorities frantically searched for Abdeslam, who is believed to have played a key role in the Nov. 13 attacks in France. He is known to have crossed into Belgium the day

after the attacks. Interior Minister Jan Jambon warned that the threat wouldn’t necessarily disappear if Abdeslam was found, because they are looking for several people in connection with a possible planned attack in Brussels. Several of the Paris attackers had lived in Brussels, including Abdelhamid Abaaoud, the plot’s orchestrator who was killed Wednesday in a standoff with French police. Abdeslam is known to have crossed into Belgium on Nov. 14. His brother, Mohamed Abdeslam, went on Belgian TV and urged him to surrender, saying he would rather see him “in prison than in a cemetery.” Authorities in Turkey said Saturday that a 26-year-old Belgian citizen suspected of being linked to Islamic extremists and possibly to the Paris attacks had been detained in the coastal city of Antalya.

France has intensified its aerial bombing in Syria and Le Drian said the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle, which has been sent to the Mediterranean to help combat IS militants in Syria, will be “operational” from Monday and “ready to act.” Also Monday, French President Francois Hollande is scheduled to meet in Paris with British Prime Minister David Cameron and will travel to Washington and Moscow later in the week to push for a stronger international coalition against IS. Cameron is expected to outline his plan for combating the militants as he seeks parliamentary approval to join France, the U.S. and Russia in striking the group’s strongholds in Syria. Russia also is trumpeting action it’s taking to fight IS. It has intensified its airstrikes in Syria in response to the Oct. 31 downing of its passenger plane in Egypt. On Sunday, Russian law enforcement officers raided a militant hideout in the North Caucasus, killing 11 in an exchange of fire. The militants were part of a group whose members had pledged allegiance to IS, the National Anti-Terrorist Committee said in a statement. Attacks like those in Paris are aimed partly at provoking the West, as the Islamic State group hopes that stepped-up military action in the region will reinforce its narrative of a clash of civilizations and attract more Muslims to its ranks. IS and other militant groups seize on harsh Western rhetoric and civilian deaths to portray themselves as defending Muslims from modern “Crusaders.” The security measures left Brussels eerily quiet, with streets deserted and many of the city’s famous beer bars and restaurants largely empty. Residents were bracing for the impact that the continued clampdown would have on this city of more than 1 million as the workweek began. The European Union’s executive Commission decided to stay open for business but its vice president, Kristalina Georgieva, warned people to be vigilant and expect increased security checks. NATO also said it would be open Monday.

Cruz seeks to cast himself as electable By Steve Peoples Associated Press

SIOUX CITY, Iowa — Sen. Ted Cruz is among the most hated men in Washington, reviled by leaders of both parties as an ideological hard-liner loyal only to the far-right of the conservative movement. But racing down an Iowa highway on a snowy weekend morning, a solemn Cruz suggested some of his Republican rivals for president have amped up their rhetoric too much — especially on policy toward people who are in the U.S. illegally. “Tone matters,” Cruz, the son of a Cuban immigrant,said during an interview between campaign stops. “Are there some in the Republican Party whose rhetoric is unhelpful with regard to immigration? Yes.” Donald Trump’s call for a database to track Muslims in the U.S. is one example, Cruz says. But he refused to condemn the rhetoric of another Republican who could help him win Iowa’s leadoff caucuses, Rep. Steve King, the influential conservative who has described immigrants living in the country illegally as disease-ridden — and spent the weekend at Cruz’s side. “I cannot help the language that others use,” Cruz said in the interview. “I can only help the words that come out of my own mouth.”

JIM COLE / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, talks to supporters after filing papers to be on the New Hampshire presidential primary ballot Nov. 12.

Taken together, they are remarkable statements for a conservative firebrand who rarely, if ever, shows signs of moderation. Yet in the crowded and unruly 2016 Republican primary, Cruz is trying to position himself as the grown-up alternative to Trump and Ben Carson, two inexperienced and undisciplined front-runners who have so far captivated their party’s most passionate voters by riding a wave of antiimmigrant rhetoric. Carson’s support appears to be softening, and Trump is struggling to explain with precision his plans for increasing surveillance of potential threats in the wake of the Paris attacks. At the same time, Cruz is ramping up his pitch and trying to cast himself not just as

an outsider — but an electable outsider at a time of widespread mistrust of Washington. “I do not believe either one of them is going to be the nominee,” Cruz told The Associated Press about Carson and Trump. “I am working very hard to win every one of their supporters.” Cruz spoke to AP at the end of a week in which Carson, who previously said he wouldn’t support a Muslim president, likened dealing with some Syrian refugees to the handling of “rabid dogs” and said he would support government monitoring of any group deemed radical and “anti-American.” Having described Mexican immigrants as rapists and criminals in his announcement speech, Trump this week said he would “absolutely” support

a mandatory database to track Muslims in the U.S. He later said he wanted a “watch list” for Syrian refugees and “surveillance of certain mosques.” To be sure, Cruz has reacted aggressively to the Paris attacks and is targeting the same slice of the Republican electorate as the two front-runners. He introduced legislation this week titled the “Terrorist Refugee Infiltration Prevention Act” that would allow U.S. entry only to Christians fleeing wartorn Syria. That comes after Cruz, whose Cuban-born father first immigrated to Canada and then to the U.S., last week outlined an immigration policy that would dramatically increase deportations, add hundreds of miles to the wall on the Mexican border and suspend a program that grants work visas to high-skilled immigrants, a reversal of his previous position. But the Harvard-educated attorney who served five years as the Texas solicitor general has done so while avoiding the explosive language employed by Trump and Carson, which critics say reeks of xenophobia — if not outright bigotry. He also declined to name any Republicans whose rhetoric on immigration has been “unhelpful.” “I am not going to approach this election like a theater critic — giving my reviews of every word uttered by every other Republican,” Cruz said.

AROUND THE WORLD

Obama: Don’t give in to fear over IS KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — Trying to reassure a nation on edge, President Barack Obama said Sunday the Islamic State group “cannot strike a mortal blow” against the U.S., and he warned that overreacting to the Paris attacks would play into extremists’ hands. “We will destroy this terrorist organization,” he vowed. Ending a trip to Asia, Obama implored Americans not to let the specter of terror cause them to compromise their values or change the way they live. Since IS militants killed 130 in France nine days ago, Obama’s strategy has come under repeated questioning. He dismissed the group’s global prowess of IS and said, “They’re a bunch of killers with good social media.”

Argentina: Opposition wins Opposition candidate Mauricio Macri won the presidential election Sunday, marking an end to the left-leaning and often combative era of President Cristina Fernandez, who along with her late husband dominated the country’s political scene for 12 years and rewrote its social contract. Ruling party candidate Daniel Scioli, Fernandez’s chosen successor, conceded late Sunday and said he had called Macri to congratulate him on a victory that promises to chart Argentina on a more free market, less state interventionist course.

Mali: Peace talks the target The assault on a luxury hotel in Bamako, Mali’s capital, that killed 19 people was a clear attempt to derail a fragile peace process meant to stabilize the country’s volatile north, a representative of northern separatist groups said Sunday. Peace talks have been dragging on between the central government and northern separatist groups for more than two years in an effort to end the disputes that turned large sections of the country into a haven for radical Islamic militants. The Radisson Blu hotel attacked by two gunmen Friday was preparing to host a meeting on implementing the latest accords.

Romania: Nightclub toll Romanian authorities say a 19-yearold student has died of injuries sustained in a Bucharest nightclub fire, bringing the death toll to 60. A spark ignited foam decor during a concert at the Colectiv nightclub Oct. 30.

ACROSS THE U.S. Illinois: Midwest freezes A deep freeze set in across the Midwest on Sunday with low temperatures forecast in the single digits and a few below zero, turning the season’s first major snow into ice that made some roads treacherous to travel. The National Weather Service forecast 20 degrees or lower across six states from North Dakota to Illinois. In Chicago, residents were digging out of more than 11 inches of snow — the highest November total in 120 years in the city. More than 130 flights were cancelled Sunday into and out of the O’Hare International Airport in Chicago, according to flighttracking website FlightAware.com.

Iowa: Caregivers tax break Hillary Rodham Clinton is proposing a new tax break for people caring for aging parents and grandparents as part of a series of benefits she says will help middle-class families. The Democratic presidential candidate unveiled her latest proposal Sunday. She is seeking a tax credit of up to $6,000 to offset caregiving expenses for elderly family members. Clinton was expected to discuss the plan at a town hall-style meeting in Iowa on Sunday evening. She also is seeking to provide additional Social Security benefits to those who spend time out of the workforce due to caregiving and wants to enhance support for care workers.

D.C.: Trump database Republican Donald Trump on Sunday dug in on creating a database to track Muslims in the U.S. His standing in national polls has only solidified since recent Islamic militant attacks in Europe. Trump has pledged to be the toughest of all candidates toward people posing threats to the U.S. On Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” Trump said he would back ways to track Muslims in the U.S. and also bring back waterboarding on terrorism suspects.

Indoor climbing continues to grow Vertical World to expand with a new, larger climbing gym near Paine Field. By Melissa Crowe For The Herald Business Journal

It will be a whole new place to tackle gravity. The owners of Vertical World Everett plan to build a new indoor rock climbing gym just south of Paine Field. The gym called Vertical World North will feature 20,000 square feet of climbing space, about three times bigger than the Everett gym with plenty of room for enthusiasts to practice bouldering, top-rope and lead climbing. Plans also include health club equipment, a yoga studio, full showers and an outdoor patio with a fire pit to add a ski-lodge feel, perfect for relaxing after a climb, meeting new friends or catching up with old ones. “You go to your health club because your wife thinks you’re fat,” said Rick Johnston, owner of Vertical World Inc. “This is where you want to hang out, this is part of your lifestyle.” Vertical World North is expected to open this spring at 12300 Beverly Park Road off Highway 525, said Johnston, whose company also runs indoor rock climbing gyms in Seattle and Redmond. He declined to say how much the new gym costs. When it opens, his company plans to give up the gym at 2820 Rucker Ave. in downtown Everett to another group to operate as Summit Everett. K.J. Maxwell, manager of Vertical World Everett, has been climbing since the late 1980s. “It’s more popular now than it’s ever been,” Maxwell said. The new location will give them space to share the sport with people living in the north Puget Sound area. “We have people who have been climbing for a long time, people who are brand new to it,” he said. Some come for weight loss, others for the mental break, but most for a good challenge. “Just like runners, you can escape and focus on the movement and the objective at hand, you can let go of those other things,” Maxwell said. Monthly memberships start at $20 for children up to $63 for an all-access pass to any Vertical World location. Climbers can also drop in without a membership for $16 for one day. The gym has gear rentals for chalk bags, belay devices, harnesses and shoes, all priced $5 and less. The idea for Vertical World

came to Johnston at 20,000 feet. Johnston, who quit his law firm job, wanted a place where climbers could train and hang out during the off-season. “It’s a fair weather sport,” he said. “Spring through fall you get most of your climbing in. In the winter time there’s not much going on unless you go east to the mountains or out to the desert.” In 1987, in a run-down warehouse next to the train tracks on Elliot Avenue in Seattle, he and Dan Cauthorn opened Vertical Club, later known as Vertical

now,” Johnston said. “We were just gluing rocks on the wall and trying to create a place for climbers to hang out. We had a few classes here and there. Now it’s a multi-dimensional service industry.” Since Johnston opened his first gym, Vertical World expanded into Redmond and into Everett about seven years ago. The gyms boast teen programs, toddler groups, children’s programs, birthday parties, and a broader membership base. He wants climbers at Vertical

World Seattle. It was the country’s first indoor rock climbing gym. He said the pushback was intense. Leading outdoor retailers refused to talk to him. His friends called him crazy. “You’re not supposed to bring climbing indoors,” he said. “There was a lot of headwind and I had to battle that.” Now, there are more than 400 gyms in the U.S. and Canada, and there’s no doubt in Johnston’s mind that indoor rock climbing is a success. “It’s like a different universe

World to know the founders of the sport — Royal Robbins and Wayne Harding — to be able to properly handle themselves safely in technical situations. The gyms have been described as alcohol-free nightclubs for cheerful athletic nerds. Johnston said that’s not quite the case. “It’s not a replacement for outdoors by any means; it’s an alternative health club,” Johnston said. “It’s people who want to use it as an alternative health club all the way to people who want to rock climb outdoors every day.”

Hop Jack’s opening newest restaurant in Smokey Point The Herald Business Journal

biz bits

MARYSVILLE — Hop Jack’s plans to bring its take on the neighborhood gathering place to Smokey Point on Monday when it opens at The Marketplace, the new shopping center coming online north of Costco. The 4,400-square-foot restaurant and bar expects to employ 80 people at 2623 172nd St. NE, Marysville, just west of Exit 206 on I-5. “This site is a great space for a restaurant that is a true ‘neighborhood gathering place.’” said owner Mark Eggen in a statement. “We are looking forward to being the place where neighbors meet neighbors.”

Hop Jack’s has 12 locations in Washington, including one in Lynnwood. The chain first started in Bonney Lake. Hop Jack’s says it is named after the people who worked to pick and produce dried hops to be used in the beer brewing process. Hop Jack’s is known for its specialty cocktails served in a glass made of ice. The restaurant is open weekdays from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. On Fridays and Saturdays, the restaurant opens at 8 a.m. for breakfast and closes at midnight.

IN OUR VIEW | Community

Get to know thy neighbor The recent storm that created so much damage, and left thousands of people without power, followed by the days of cold weather, was a good reminder that we all need an emergency plan. It was also a good reminder to get to know your neighbors, if you don’t already. Even the smallest of storms result in clogged roads and highways in the greater Puget Sound region, making commutes hours long, or altogether impossible. So when a big storm hits, or an earthquake, or any other calamity, and we are at work, or out shopping, or whatever, we must assume it’s going to be even more difficult, and take even longer to reach home.

Which is where knowing your neighbors becomes extremely important. Neighbors, and even entire neighborhoods, can work on emergency plans together. Knowing that help can be a long time in coming in an emergency, we need to watch out for one another, whether single parents, or our elderly or disabled neighbors who live alone. Don’t assume that an older person who lives alone is a “loner” by choice, or is, in fact, living “independently.” Introduce yourself and let them know that neighbors in your area are the kind to check up on each other, just to make sure everything is OK. The upcoming holidays make for a perfect opportunity

to introduce yourself to your neighbors if you don’t know them. Cookies or other proffered treats can make even awkward introductions easier. “The biggest barrier is just a perception that we should not be involved,” Keith Hampton, associate professor of communications at Rutgers University told the Chicago Tribune in 2012. “We fear having people intrude in our lives, but we also have to recognize ... (the) risk in not knowing the people around you.” The benefits of knowing your neighbors include perks to your mental, emotional and physical health. At its best, such connections can turn into true friendship. At its most basic, neighbors

can look out for each other’s houses when someone is away, or keep an extra house key for you. Knowing someone by name means when the power goes out, you can cross the street and ask Mrs. Rogers if she is OK. The late Jane Jacobs, who wrote the book, “The Death and Life of Great American Cities” observed: “In real life, only from the ordinary adults of the city sidewalks do children learn — if they learn it at all — the first fundamental of successful city life: People must take a modicum of public responsibility for each other even if they have no ties to each other.” It’s called community, and neighborliness.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■ DRUG ADDICTION

Freedom can be found in N.A. Having read reporter Kari Bray’s article, “Arlington coalition wants to keep drug abuse awareness program going,” regarding a young lady struggling to find freedom from active addiction, I can relate from personal experience that there is a way out! Addiction is not a hopeless state from which there is no freedom! Narcotics Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women for whom drugs had become a major problem. We meet regularly to help each other stay clean. The responsible, productive lives of thousands of addicts is clear evidence of the effectiveness of our proven program of daily recovery. Indeed, in another of life’s seeming paradoxes, we can only keep what we have by giving it away! We as a fellowship have vital, first-hand experience with addicts in all stages of recovery. We do not discriminate — at all! All are welcome to attend open N.A. meetings. We ask only that no photographs or last names be revealed, in deep respect for our guiding principle if anonymity. Narcotics Anonymous is available in the Everett area, including almost every town in Snohomish County. For more information, speaking engagements, literature, etc., call our helpline at 425-609-6170. The tired old lie, “Once an addict, always an addict” will no longer be tolerated by society or ourselves! We do recover!

■ SNOCO PUD

Complaint needs investigating There never was a true independent investigation of the PUD whistle-blower complaint. As reported in The Herald, Snohomish County PUD Commissioners hired Ms. Colleen Kinerk, Seattle attorney to investigate the complaint. As an attorney, her highest priority is to her clients, the PUD Commission. That is why Kinerk’s report was slanted in favor of the PUD with mention of an ethics violation that was dismissed with little or no impact on the PUD. Kinerk’s report can hardly be construed as an independent investigation by any stretch of the imagination. In a public records request, PUD states: “There has never been an invoice for

professional services from Ms. Colleen Kinerk, for her work on the whistle-blower complaint and the district has paid nothing to Ms. Kinerk or her law firm of Cable, Langenbach, Kinerk & Bauer of Seattle. So we are left to believe she did all that work for free? Kinerk never resolved the questions of no bid contract No. 64081 for which $800,000 remains unaccounted for. Kinerk states, “half of that money was used to hire employees, including a family member for Mr Kaplan’s new start up 1energy company.” Her lack of effort to account for the rest of the $800,000 is a far cry from a true investigation and it does not stop there. Its all so contrived. The PUD has buried this entire matter thinking the ratepayers have moved on. Lynn Claughton Everett

■ SYRIAN REFUGEES

Don’t abandon our real values Regarding the letter, “Inslee puts our lives in peril”: I am proud to live in a state where our leadership takes a stand on important American values. When Gov. Inslee declared that Washington would be a state that welcomes refugees from Syria, he was reminding us of our common humanity. I am so tired of people who react to fear and misinformation. So far, all of the Paris attackers have been found to carry European Union passports, not passports from Syria. The process for a refugee coming to the United States is already very stringent, with people spending up to two years in a refugee camp before being allowed to resettle. The vast majority of people fleeing civil war are families, and they come from all walks of life. Imagine if you lived in a country controlled by violence and chaos — wouldn’t you do everything in your power to create a better life for your family? What does it say about us as a people if we are not supporting these positive efforts? From Thomas Paine convincing colonists to declare independence in Common Sense, to the plaque on the Statue of Liberty, the foundation of our country have always been creating a safe haven for people fleeing persecution. Some of the most shameful parts of our history have been we ignored these values, such dehumanizing and interring Japanese Americans during World War II. History has proven that events such as this are an atrocity in our country’s history. Let’s not repeat the mistakes of the past with the current refuge crisis but rather live out our values by honoring the already strict vetting process we have and working together as a global

community to spread peace, rather than hate. The many thousands of people who are already resettled here are proving this is a process that works. Michelle Spivey Everett

■ PUBLIC TRANSIT

Congress must make it a priority It’s time for Congress to get serious about investing in public transit. It’s good news that both the House and Senate have passed multi-year transportation bills, but it’s not enough simply to move forward with the same transportation strategy we’ve always had. We need to make public transportation a national priority, and that means funding it at the highest possible levels. As Congress works to reconcile the two pieces of legislation in front of them, they should ensure that public transportation receives significantly increased funding. Our nation has a backlog of at least $86 billion in needed bus and rail maintenance. Nationwide, there are more than 60 public transit projects on hold due to lack of consistent funding. And 45 percent of Americans have no public transit. This should be unacceptable in a modern society. Congress needs to make public transit the priority it should be by passing a long-term transportation bill with increased investment in public transit. And they should do it this year, while there is still time. Our economy, environment and quality of life are all at stake. Voters are watching what they do on this important issue. I hope our members of Congress have the courage to set us on a better course when it comes to transportation in America. Frank Stieber Seattle

Puzzle requires thought, as well as bombs, boots

O

ne week, Beirut and Paris; the next week, Mali. The nightmare is young. Where next? The pace and threat of terror seem to have picked up, each incident feeding on the previous. Fear takes hold, momentum builds. Rhetoric flies KATHLEEN PARKER in the face of reason, until all reason abandons the field. But then, how do you solve a problem like crazy? And how do you prevent becoming crazed yourself? It’s contagious, you know. Besides, what’s more crazy-making than trying to deal rationally with the irrational? What leverage does an army have against an enemy that welcomes death? We say: If you don’t stop murdering innocent people, we’re going to bomb you into oblivion. They say: Bring it on. No, wait, we’ll do it ourselves. Boom. None of our human instruments or moral benchmarks seems to have any effect on such pitiless murderers. We know they’re inhumane, but are they even human? What went missing at their creation? The next time we capture one of these empty-eyed killers, we might examine the anterior insular cortex, the activity center of human empathy. Dead space. We are left, meanwhile, to protect ourselves and to wrestle our own demons — fear, paranoia, and the impulse to do something — though we may be no safer. Shut down the borders; send in the troops; block the refugees; bomb some more; let’s roll. Tugging at our sleeve is the voice of experience — that our previous attempts to bring an end to terrorism, to take the fight to them, have merely increased the threat over time. Blame whom you will, but the fact remains that thousands upon thousands of deaths — Americans and others — have created yet more deaths. The vacuums we created, replacing vicious dictators who kept reasonable if brutal order, have become open houses to migratory coalitions of the willing-to-die. Our manic stabs at self-protection become their recruitment weapons. Our default partisanship, their propaganda. Politicians and presidential candidates who race each other to promulgate flimsy fixes amid raging rhetoric — creating Muslim databases, shutting down mosques, even comparing Syrian refugees to rabid dogs — suggest that contagion is in the air. Whom would young Islamic cultists find more objectionable — their fellow warriors fighting for the End Times and eventual return of the “Prophet Jesus”? Or the Muslim-hating “freedom” lovers who call them dogs? This isn’t to justify such absurd thinking but to highlight the reality of their perceptions. How does sending in thousands of American troops — a Christian invasion by the terrorists’ scopes — shift or conquer a dynamic fueled by beliefs that have remained unchanged by centuries of enlightenment, science and knowledge? How many American lives are we willing to sacrifice this time to accomplish what may not be possible? We may as well be fighting sandworms, which is not an insult but a literary reference to Frank Herbert’s “Dune” series — meaning an unstoppable foe that lurks out of sight until it’s too late, is virtually indestructible, and has an indefinite lifespan. The sandworms’, called Shai-Hulud, were worshipped by the local “Fremen” and their actions were viewed as the direct actions of God. Herbert, who died in 1986, was eerily prescient when he began the series in the mid-1960s. Too bad he isn’t here to advise us. Would turning our backs on people who are being slaughtered make us safer? Or would it merely create more sandworms? This is a call not to look away but to be solemnly cautious, thoughtful and creative. Is the Islamic State’s mission to establish a caliphate, thus to hasten the End Times, a mental disorder? Is it treatable? Is their tactical savagery pathological? Facts: Those who committed 9/11 were primarily Saudis. One of the Paris terrorists got into Europe with a group of refugees. The woman who self-detonated was Parisian-born and began wearing a Muslim hijab only a month ago. What makes a person subscribe to such a nihilist belief system? What suddenly turns a modern youth into a kamikaze killer? These are the puzzles we must solve. Winning the war against an ideology that rejects freedom and welcomes death will require something more than bombs and boots. It will require genius.

Emily-Mae: A half- hour spent in the outside world From Page A1

But staff at Providence Regional Medical Center Everett’s infant intensive care unit noticed EmilyMae was having problems breathing when she was about five weeks old. They put her on oxygen and arranged for a consultation at Seattle Children’s Hospital on Aug. 25. “She was growing so quickly that her body couldn’t keep up,” Ashley Kombol said. Specialists at the Seattle hospital diagnosed EmilyMae with a rare disorder that worsens over time — pulmonary vein stenosis, a narrowing of the veins carrying blood from the lungs to the heart. A doctor outlined the only option available, a series of surgeries. The first might prolong her life for at most two to three months. Originally, Ashley and other family members discussed going ahead with the surgery, hoping for a miracle that would allow her to pull through, Isaiah Kombol said. “Then we started looking at the reality. The first surgery, how successful would that be? The doctors said she probably wouldn’t make it. If she did, she would be hooked up to tubes for the duration.” Ashley’s mom, Dana Stoffel, asked the doctor what he would do. “I’ll give you an honest answer: I wouldn’t do it for my own kid,” Isaiah remembers him saying. Ashley, Isaiah and other family who had joined them at Children’s were left to decide what to do. “My dad really struggled with it,” Ashley said. “He just didn’t want to give up.” Isaiah Kombol works as a social worker. “I give talks every day about hospice and end-of-life

I said I can’t put my child through this. As a mother, you want to do everything you can to make them better. — Ashley Kombol KEVIN CLARK / THE HERALD

issues,” he said. Even so, “I didn’t want to hear it from other people that this was happening to my daughter.” Ashley Kombol said the more she held and looked at her daughter, her thinking began to change. “I said I can’t put my child through this,” she said. “As a mother, you want to do everything you can to make them better. Holding her, looking at her crying, I said I won’t have my child suffer just to have a little more time with her.” Ashley and Isaiah decided that Emily-Mae should go back to Providence, where she was closer to home. They decided to simply provide the most love they could for their daughter, rather than going ahead with any complex and risky medical procedures. Ashley spent up to nine hours a day at the infant intensive care unit with Emily-Mae while her

husband was at work. Over time, she developed a deep friendship with two members of the staff. Isaiah remembers the nurses coming to check on Emily-Mae in the evening, holding her, rocking her, kissing her. “That made it very comfortable when my wife and I weren’t able to stay up there, to know she was in good hands,” he said. During the days she spent with her daughter in the neonatal intensive care unit, Ashley would often look out the hospital windows and glimpse a celebratory ritual. Babies cared for in the intensive care unit and preparing to leave for home would be taken out of the hospital in a red wagon outfitted with a car seat. One day, nurse Nancy Godin heard Ashley comment that Emily-Mae wouldn’t get to ride in her own red wagon. A fellow employee said: “We’ve got to get the baby outside.”

Isaiah and Ashley Kombol

On Sept. 7, just after noon, Emily-Mae was fitted into a red wagon with an oxygen tank. She was surrounded by her parents and family members. “She got to see the outside world for about a half hour,” Isaiah’s mom said. They took some family pictures. Emily-Mae died about eight hours later. Godin, who had worked a 12-hour shift, went home, changed clothes, and “came back to be with us and stayed with us about an hour after she passed,” Ashley Kombol said. Ashley, 32 and Isaiah, 33, had celebrated their second wedding anniversary in June. It was their first pregnancy but it wasn’t the couple’s first loss of a child. They learned of Ashley’s pregnancy Jan. 7. Initially,

KEVIN CLARK / THE HERALD

they were told they were having twins. But one of the twins died just 19 weeks into the pregnancy. In the last days of EmilyMae’s life, Sundie Kombol remembers Ashley commenting that they didn’t want flowers when her baby died, but instead would ask people to make donations for gifts to the neonatal unit. About $1,500 was raised. It was enough to fill a room in their Everett home with gifts, including 27 imageprojecting night-lights, 10 mobiles, 66 receiving blankets and 24 footie pajamas, specially sized for premature babies. Emily-Mae is buried in a cemetery next to Silvana’s historic Little White Church on the Hill, built in the 1890s. Pastor Arden Barden of Peace Lutheran

Church baptized her at the hospital Aug. 27. The Kombols “dealt with this whole thing from beginning to end with great dignity and faithfulness,” he said. “They are people of faith. They saw an opportunity that what blessed their child could also bless others.” Godin had fostered an unusually caring relationship with the couple during her temporary assignment at the Everett hospital. Her last day at the neonatal unit was Nov. 17. She is moving to Tampa, Florida. She met them the evening earlier this month when they returned to the hospital to deliver the gifts to the neonatal unit. A family photo shows Godin smiling and linking arms with Ashley. The Kombols “invited me into their lives at a very difficult time for any couple,” Godin said. “I feel very blessed to have been a part of that. I’ve made life-long friends. We’ll always be in touch. They’ve become my Everett family.” Sharon Salyer: 425-3393486; salyer@heraldnet. com.

Teens seek public’s help in Saving Salmon Edmonds-Woodway High School students concerned about the environment have formed a Students Saving Salmon club and invite the public to help them in their efforts. Club members have been learning about the Edmonds watershed with the goal of helping the city reestablish historic salmon runs as part of the Will Creek Daylighting Project. As part of the Edmonds Stream Team citizen science program, teens have been taking water quality measurements from several streams that flow through or near downtown Edmonds, looking at temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen and more. Students will analyze the data and present their findings to local government. Coho salmon have begun to enter local streams to spawn, a process expected to continue through December. Edmonds residents who have observed salmon in creeks on or near their property are asked to report their sightings for a database students are putting together. Report current and past sightings to EdmondsStreamTeam@gmail. com. Students Saving Salmon also would like to hear from Edmonds stream-side residents who may be willing to have water quality measurements collected from their property. The program is especially in need of suitable sites for measurements in lower Shell Creek (north of Caspers Street).

DAILY CROSSWORD

Freedom of expression turns girls into drama queens A recent caller to my syndicated radio show (Saturdays, 6 p.m. EST, American Family Radio) objected to advice I dispensed concerning a teenage girl who was exhibiting a number of narcissistic and even sociopathic behaviors, including lying and the abuse of animals. The caller — a young lady in her 20s — pointed out that the girl’s behavior could be due to hormones and other biological factors. She accused me of not being sufficiently sensitive to the biological stresses that girls in their early to mid-teenage years have to deal with. These stresses, she claimed, predispose tantrums, rebelliousness, disrespect and a general lack of emotional control. No, they do not. Teenage girls may have some difficulty adjusting to the onset of puberty, some more than others. And puberty may be a very difficult time for some teenage girls, but there is nothing about puberty (specifically, the onset of menstruation), however troublesome, that entitles a teenage girl to be rebellious, disrespectful, and an emotional tyrant, much less devious and abusive to animals. Furthermore, there is nothing about puberty that explains the level of drama that is currently

JOHN ROSEMOND LIVING WITH CHILDREN associated with female adolescence. The norm may involve occasional moodiness, anxiety and emotional outbursts — the operative qualifier being “occasional.” But believing and acting as if one is playing the lead role in a perpetual soap opera has nothing to do with puberty. Up until fairly recently, the young teenage girl was not a drama queen. She did not act as if one’s life was only significant to the degree it was infused with crisis, plots, conspiracies and other melodramatic elements. Once upon a not-so-long-ago time, the typical teenage girl was preparing herself for responsible adulthood. She regarded the lingering immaturity of boys with disapproval bordering on disdain. Even today, there are plenty of teenage girls in America who fit that traditional description. Are

they biologically abnormal? They may be in the minority in the USA, but they are definitely not when judged against broader norms. According to reliable reports, girls in under-developed countries do not seem captive to emotion. My theory is that in this regard (as in numerous other regards) America is reaping what was sown in the late 1960s and early 1970s. That is when mental health professionals, in chorus, announced that children had a right to express their feelings freely. Supposedly, this allowance was essential to the liberation of the child from the fetters of authoritarian control at home and at school. It was in fact true that pre-1970s children had not been allowed to freely express their feelings. Adults were training children for responsible citizenship and the responsible citizen does not express emotion without regard for context. But it was not long before everything traditional yielded to parenting progressivism, the seductive propaganda of new ideas under the sun. There have been many victims of the children’s liberation movement, but the most aggrieved have been children themselves. Tribune Content Agency

Better mental health care may prevent future violence Dear Abby: I have listened to our president and various candidates comment on gun control after the shooting at the college in Oregon. Do you remember the saying, “Guns don’t kill people. People kill people”? Gun control is not going to stop this. What IS needed is more mental health care. It seems every time a person takes the notion to shoot others, someone says, “He was depressed.” Never during the 20 years I have battled depression have I ever wanted to shoot anyone. I’m writing this to defend those of us who are truly fighting depression. — Depressed In Texas Dear Depressed: Misinformation about mental illness is a contributor to the stigma that surrounds it. The triggers that have led to the plague of mass shootings in this country are the result of individuals with severe psychosis and the impossible task their families have faced in getting their loved ones the ongoing medical and psychiatric treatment they needed. Dear Abby: The man I lived with for 25 years, “Craig,” and I have split. It was my decision. He now has a new woman in his life, and she is pregnant. Craig and I share a 23-year-old son. Craig calls me often. He’s my best friend and I wish him the best, but I get the feeling he is unhappy with this woman and feels trapped. He calls to ask me for advice and talk about the problems he has with her. The woman has forbidden him to have contact with me so he has to sneak the calls. Should I not talk to him anymore, or leave it to him to make that decision? It seems to me he still needs me in his life as a friend. Is RIP HAYWIRE

DEAR ABBY he emotionally cheating on this new woman? — Sympathetic Ex In Virginia Dear Ex: If Craig needs counseling, he should be getting it from an unbiased professional. His lady friend obviously views you as her rival, which is why she has forbidden him to contact you. It’s time to ask yourself how being in the middle of this makes you feel. If the answer is “not good,” then tell Craig you don’t want to cause problems in his new relationship, and sneaking around is dishonest and childish. And yes, this is a form of cheating because Craig is still emotionally dependent on you. Dear Abby: I am a woman who works in an office building. What’s the proper etiquette when the cleaning service is cleaning the restroom? If it’s a woman, I tend to go in anyway. If it’s a man, I wait (most of the time). — Restroom Etiquette Dear R.E.: I don’t think there is a rule of etiquette regarding this. When the cleaning crew (or janitor) is in the restroom, there is usually a sign posted to that effect. In many cases, if the janitor is a male in a women’s restroom, he will immediately exit the room. However, if that doesn’t happen, it’s then up to the individual to determine if her call of nature is so urgent it must be heeded immediately. Universal Uclick

Final ‘Hunger Games’ opens to franchise low By Lindsey Bahr Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — “Mockingjay — Part 2,” the final “Hunger Games” film, soared to a $101 million opening in its first weekend in theaters, according to Rentrak estimates Sunday. For most films, the figure would be a coup, but the latest chapter of “The Hunger Games” collected the lowest opening take among the four films in the series. The series starring Jennifer Lawrence kicked off with a bang in March 2012 with a massive $152.5 million weekend — one of the highest openings of all time. “Catching Fire,” the second film in the franchise, one-upped that with a $158.1 million debut in November 2013. Lionsgate split the final book in Suzanne Collins’ trilogy into two films, following the precedent of “Twilight” and “Harry Potter.”

“Mockingjay — Part 1” opened on this weekend last year to $121.9 million, considered at the time to be a necessary and expected dip while fans awaited the final installment, which, if it had mimicked “Twilight” or “Harry Potter,” would have snared at least the secondhighest (if not highest) opening in the series. The franchise low for the final “Hunger Games” film, which cost a reported $160 million to make, was a bit of a surprise. Lionsgate, however, was not disappointed. “It’s a great accomplishment. The overall franchise has grossed over $2 billion worldwide and counting,” said David Spitz, co-president of theatrical distribution for Lionsgate. Expectations run high when films become so popular in such a short a time, said Paul Dergarabedian, a senior media analyst for Rentrak. “If we live in a world

where a $100 million opening is a disappointment, that’s pretty crazy,” he said Only 34 movies in history have opened at more than $100 million, including all four in “The Hunger Games” series. Dergarabedian attributes the showing to a down marketplace. Just two weekends ago, “Spectre,” which fell to second place this week with $14.6 million, failed to live up to the domestic opening of “Skyfall,” the previous James Bond film. With $12.8 million, “The Peanuts Movie” finished behind “Spectre” and ahead of the Seth Rogen holiday comedy “The Night Before,” which earned an expected $10.1 million. The Julia Roberts thriller “The Secret in Their Eyes,” a remake of the Oscarwinning Argentinian film, debuted wide this weekend to $6.6 million from 2,392 locations — slightly under expectations.

Today’s highlight: On Nov. 23, 1765, Frederick County, Maryland, became the first colonial American entity to repudiate the British Stamp Act. On this date: In 1804, the 14th president of the United States, Franklin Pierce, was born in Hillsboro, New Hampshire. In 1889, the first jukebox made its debut in San Francisco, at the Palais Royale Saloon. (The coinoperated device consisted of four listening tubes attached to an Edison phonograph.) In 1903, Enrico Caruso made his American debut at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York, appearing in “Rigoletto.”

In 1914, the sevenmonth U.S. military occupation of Veracruz, Mexico, ended. In 1936, Life, the photojournalism magazine created by Henry R. Luce, was first published. In 1945, most U.S. wartime rationing of foods, including meat and butter, was set to expire by day’s end. In 1959, the musical “Fiorello!,” starring Tom Bosley as legendary New York Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia, opened on Broadway. In 1963, President Lyndon B. Johnson proclaimed Nov. 25 a day of national mourning following the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. In 1971, the People’s Republic of China was seated in the U.N. Security Council.

Ten years ago: In Iraq, gunmen broke into the home of a senior Sunni Arab leader and killed him, three of his sons and a sonin-law. A commuter train slammed into several vehicles caught in a traffic jam in Elmwood Park, Illinois, starting a chain reaction that injured at least 10 people. Ellen Johnson Sirleaf was confirmed as the winner of Liberia’s presidential election. American-born actress Constance Cummings died in Oxfordshire, England, at age 95. Five years ago: North Korea bombarded South Korea’s Yeonpyeong Island with artillery fire, killing four people and raising tensions between the two countries. One year ago: Former Washington, D.C. mayor Marion Barry died at 78. Associated Press

Pfizer merges with Allergan in $150B deal Los Angeles Times After weeks of talks, Pfizer and Allergan have agreed on a blockbuster merger worth $150 billion. The companies’ boards of directors reportedly approved the deal Sunday, and details were expected to be announced Monday, according to the Wall Street Journal. The deal caps a

remarkable consolidation wave roiling the U.S. health care industry and creates the world’s biggest drugmaker by sales. The deal between Pfizer Inc. and Botox maker Allergan is the largest corporate merger this year. As of Friday’s close, Pfizer had a market cap of $199 billion; Allergan was at $123 billion. The Pfizer-Allergan deal is

likely to fuel critics’ concerns that consumers would pay even more for drugs as competition declines among manufacturers, insurers and retailers. And it places the firms squarely in a presidential election debate over efforts by U.S. companies to obtain lower tax rates by using mergers to move their headquarters abroad. The final terms of the deal

include 11.3 Pfizer shares for every Allergan share, the Journal said, citing unidentified sources. The deal also includes a small cash component, the paper reported. It said Pfizer Chief Executive Ian Read will lead the combined company and that Allergan CEO Brent Saunders will be second-in-command. A month ago, Allergan,

which is based in Ireland and has a sizable operation in Irvine, California, said it was approached by Pfizer but cautioned that there was “no certainty” that the “friendly” discussions would lead to a merger. Pfizer confirmed the talks. The deal caps a merger spree throughout the U.S. health care industry this year, which already has

seen a record $448 billion in announced deals, according to Dealogic, which tracks the market. Health care companies of all stripes are joining forces to reposition themselves as various market and government forces, notably the Affordable Care Act, have complicated the growth outlook for the companies’ revenues and profits.

Premiums increasing for Medicare drug plan Associated Press WASHINGTON — With time running out on open enrollment season, many seniors are facing sharply higher premiums for Medicare’s popular prescription drug program. The reason: rising drug costs have overtaken a long stretch of stable premiums. Beneficiaries have until Dec. 7 to see if there’s a lower-cost plan that will cover their medications in 2016. Consumer advocates and experts say it will pay to shop around this sign-up season. “Premiums are going up. Deductibles are going up,” said Tricia Neuman, a Medicare expert with the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation. “There is some potential to save a lot of money by switching plans.” Government spending on the program also has risen significantly, driven by pricey new drugs, notably for hepatitis C infection.

The cost for the hepatitis drugs in the Medicare program is expected to be $9.2 billion this year, a near doubling from 2014. Because of the prescription program’s financial structure, taxpayers cover most of the cost for expensive medications. Three out of four adults infected with hepatitis C are baby boomers, the group now entering Medicare. Also known as “Part D,” Medicare’s prescription plan serves about 40 million older and disabled people. Benefits are provided through a variety of insurance arrangements. Stand-alone drug plans that work with traditional Medicare are the most popular, accounting for more than half of beneficiaries — about 24 million people. Sal Natale, a retired dentist who lives near Tampa, Florida, said prescription premiums for him and his wife are going up about 30 percent next year, and he doesn’t see a good

alternative. “I’m just going to grin and bear and hope it starts moderating,” Natale said. The couple is signed up in the Humana Enhanced plan, one of the top 10. Nationally, premiums for that plan are going up by about $13 a month, according to the Kaiser foundation. Indicators signal rising costs across the program. Among them: Independent estimates by Kaiser and the consulting firm Avalere Health show increasing premiums for stand-alone drug plans. The average premium will rise from $36.68 to $41.46 per month next year, or 13 percent, according to Kaiser. Even if many beneficiaries switch to lower-cost options, it’s likely to be the biggest increase since 2009. The maximum deductible for prescription coverage will rise by $40, to $360. That’s the biggest increase in the deductible since the inception of Part D in 2006. The deductible

is the amount of drug costs that beneficiaries must pay each year before their insurance kicks in. Taxpayer expenditures for the “catastrophic” portion of the benefit — in which beneficiaries with high drug bills pay only 5 percent of the cost — will rise by $4.5 billion in 2016, an increase of more than 14 percent. Spending for catastrophic coverage has doubled in just a short time, from $15.5 billion in 2012 to an estimated $31.2 billion this year. The analyses from Kaiser and Avalere are seemingly at odds with the message coming from the Obama administration, which estimates that drug premiums will remain stable in 2016, averaging $32.50 a month. But the administration and the independent analysts measure differently. For example, the administration adjusts its number for the estimated impact of people assumed to be

switching to lower-premium plans. The outside analysts don’t make similar assumptions. Instead, they focus on what’s happening to premiums in the plans for which people are currently signed up. Nationally, average premiums are going up by more than 15 percent in five of the top eight plans, according to the Kaiser study. Two plans will see single-digit increases. One plan — SilverScript Choice — will see a small reduction. The most popular plan — AARP MedicareRx Preferred — will go up from $50.19 to $60.79, a 21 percent increase. Sean Cavanaugh, deputy administrator at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, said the administration has a good track record with its estimates. “We do think ours is more illustrative of what beneficiaries actually experience,” he said.

Cavanaugh did say the administration is concerned about the cost of new breakthrough drugs. The insurers who deliver Medicare’s prescription benefit have limited options for bargaining down the prices of those medications, because usually there’s no competing alternative. “The challenge in the Part D program is around high-cost specialty drugs,” said Cavanaugh. “We certainly have to be concerned about anything that’s driving that much cost in our program.” With polls showing that drug costs are the top health care issue for the public, presidential candidates are weighing in. Options they propose range from giving Medicare direct authority to negotiate drug prices, backed by Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton, to speeding up approval of new drugs, advanced by Republican Jeb Bush.

Endangered white rhino dies at zoo Associated Press SAN DIEGO — One of only four northern white rhinos believed left in the world died Sunday at San Diego Zoo Safari Park. Nola, a 41-year-old female who has been at the park since 1989, was euthanized after her health took a turn for the worse, a zoo statement said. The geriatric rhino had arthritis and other ailments

and was being treated for a bacterial infection linked to an abscess in her hip. Nola had surgery on Nov. 13 to drain the abscess but her health began to deteriorate about a week ago; her appetite faltered and she became listless. She worsened over the past 24 hours and vets decided they had to euthanize her, according to the zoo in Escondido. “Nola was an iconic animal, not only at the San

Diego Zoo Safari Park, but worldwide,” the park statement said. The remaining three northern white rhinos, all elderly, are in a closely guarded preserve in Kenya. The subspecies has been decimated by poachers, who kill the rhinos for their horns. The horns are in high demand in parts of Asia where some people claim they have medicinal

properties for treating everything from hangovers to cancer. In an effort to preserve the species, the San Diego zoo took possession earlier this month of six female southern white rhinos from South Africa. Zoo researchers are working on developing northern white rhino embryos to be implanted in the six new arrivals, who will serve as surrogate mothers.

Associated Press

HOMESTEAD, Fla. — Kyle Busch opened the season in a hospital bed and ended it in victory lane with the championship trophy.

Harvick finished a distant second, Gordon was a mediocre sixth and Martin Truex Jr., the fourth driver in the championship field, See NASCAR, Page C6

Forward Lawrence Russell led Lower Columbia with 19 points.

Falk injured in Cougs’ win The Pac-12’s leading passer was knocked out of Saturday night’s game against Colorado with a head injury. Associated Press PULLMAN — Any celebration about another accomplishment for No. 24-ranked Washington State football team was tempered Saturday night by concern over an injury that resulted in quarterback Luke Falk being carted off the field. Gabe Marks and Dom Williams both had touchdown receptions and Washington State beat Colorado 27-3 despite Falk suffering an apparent head injury. Falk was taken off the field on a backboard with 8:16 remaining in the third quarter after being sacked by Samson Kafovalu. Falk’s head slammed against the turf on a below-freezing night and he appeared to be knocked out. He was tended to on the field for 7 minutes, and his facemask was removed and he was immobilized. Falk gave two thumbs up and waved his hands as he was carted off the field. Falk’s injury came a week after he was checked for a concussion against UCLA and passed protocol, allowing him to return in the second half. WSU coach Mike Leach tersely declined to answer any questions regarding Falk’s injury, citing his stance on speaking about injuries. The school provided no updates on Falk’s status. Leach at one point threatened to walk out of his postgame press conference if the questions about Falk continued. Before getting hurt, Falk was 27-of-35 for 199 yards and one touchdown. When Falk returns will be a lingering question as the Cougars (8-3, 6-2 Pac-12) have a short turnaround before facing Washington in the Apple Cup on Friday. Washington State won for the sixth time in seven games, reached the eight-win mark for the first time since 2003 and preserved hopes for just the sixth 10-win season in school history if the Cougars can beat Washington and win their bowl game. There chances of getting to 10 wins may depend largely on Falk’s health. The sophomore entered the week leading the Pac-12 in passing and was second in the country. His 11-yard TD pass to Williams in the second quarter gave him 36 TD passes for the season, six behind Marcus Mariota’s Pac-12 record of 42 last season. Peyton Bender stepped in and was 13-of-21 for 133 yards and a 16-yard TD to Marks with 14:25 remaining and a 24-3 Washington State lead. It was Marks’ 14th touchdown catch of the season, setting a single-season school record. Marks also went over 1,000 yards receiving for the season, becoming the 11th wide receiver in WSU history to reach that mark. The drop off between Falk and Bender isn’t significant. They were in competition through most of fall camp for the starting job. “Hopefully he’s all right and he can get back to playing for us as soon as possible,” Bender said. Gerard Wicks rushed for 123 yards, becoming WSU’s first 100-yard rusher since James Montgomery in 2010 against Montana State. Colorado dropped to 4-8 overall and 1-7 in the Pac-12. For the statistics from Saturday’s game, see the Scoreboard.

Fourth-ranked Irish lose KeiVarae Russell The Mariner High School graduate suffers a broken leg. Associated Press SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Notre Dame cornerback KeiVarae Russell will miss the fourth-ranked Fighting Irish’s game against No. 13 Stanford on Saturday. Russell, a graduate of Mariner High School, suffered a broken right leg in Saturday’s 19-16 win over Boston College. He is the Fighting Irish’s secondleading tackler. Russell suffered the injury late in the fourth quarter when he hit running back Tyler Rouse hard, knocking the ball loose with 70 seconds left. Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said Russell was scheduled to undergo surgery Sunday evening to have a rod inserted in his leg. Kelly said he didn’t think Russell would be ready for a bowl game or a first-round BCS playoff game, but said Russell might be ready to play if the Irish (10-1) make it to the national championship game. “He’s one of those kids you hate to lose,” Kelly said. “He’s given so much to the program. We’ll have to regroup.” Devin Butler, Nick Watkins and Nick Coleman likely will divide time replacing Russell, Kelly said. Butler, a junior with two career starts, is the most experienced. Also injured in the game was Notre Dame’s leading rusher, C.J. Prosise. He suffered a high ankle sprain and is doubtful for the Stanford game. The injury occurred when Prosise’s left foot got caught under Boston College defensive lineman Connor Wujciak as Prosise was tackled in the second quarter. Coach Brian Kelly said Prosise, who has rushed for 1,029 yards, will be replaced by freshman Josh Adams, who has three 100-yard rushing games and 592 yards rushing this season, although he was held to 39 yards on 13 carries against the Eagles with a fumble on the 3-yard line. Kelly said another freshman running back, Dexter Williams, is going to need to contribute against Stanford (9-2) and quarterback DeShone Kizer also needs to help with the running game. “This is a one-game-all-in,” Kelly said. “We’ll do whatever is necessary to provide the kind of running game that is necessary. So it’s all hands on deck in this situation.”

SUNDAY | Injuries Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco. Flacco will miss the remainder of the season after tearing ligaments in his left knee. Flacco’s injury occurred late in the fourth quarter of Baltimore’s 16-13 win over the St. Louis Rams. Ravens coach John Harbaugh said Flacco “tore at his ACL and I think, his MCL as well.” Flacco was wearing a brace on his left knee after the game. Ravens running back Justin Forsett. Forsett’s season is over after he broke his right arm Sunday. Associated Press

GLENDALE, Ariz. — The matchup between two of the best in the NFL lived up to the hype — with a bizarre twist at the end for good measure. Chandler Catanzaro kicked a 32-yard field goal with 2 seconds remaining and the Arizona Cardinals escaped with a 34-31 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday night. The winning field goal was from considerably closer range than it would have been because Cincinnati’s Domata Peko was called for unsportsmanlike conduct for hollering out offensive signals to try to confuse the Cardinals (8-2) as they were about to spike the ball to set up the kick. The penalty moved the ball from the 27 to the 14. “I don’t think I have ever seen that call, ever since I have been in the NFL,” Peko said. “We had way too many penalties today. That was the name of the game. We were fighting the refs and the Cardinals. “

Bengals coach Marvin Lewis called it a “phantom call.” “It’s kind of ridiculous,” he said. The Bengals were penalized 10 times for 108 yards, Arizona seven times for 40. Carson Palmer overcame two early interceptions to throw four touchdown passes and, with 57 seconds left, completed three quick passes to move the team into field goal range after the Bengals rallied to tie it at 31. “I just made two really stupid plays,” Palmer said. “Just kind of got the jitters out and we got rolling. We caught fire in the second half.” Andy Dalton threw two touchdown passes for the Bengals (8-2), both to Tyler Eifert. The second, a 10-yarder, cut it to 31-28 with 3:44 to play. Mike Nugent tied it at 31 with a 43-yard field goal with 1:03 to play in the fourth quarter. Palmer, who had said during the week that this one against his former team was “not just another game,” completed 20 of 31 passes for 317 yards and has 11 TD passes in his last three

games — four against Cleveland, three against Seattle and four against Cincinnati. Dalton bounced back from a shaky start to the second half to engineer the Bengals’ comeback. He finished 22 of 39 for 315 yards. Arizona rookie speedster J.J. Nelson caught four passes for 142 yards, including a 64-yard touchdown reception. “We were kind of out of sync in the first half trying to force a few things,” Arizona coach Bruce Arians said. “We were running it OK, but the passing game was not there. Big thing was the defense got off the field. We got the ball and got some good momentum going. The big play to J.J. was a catalyst.” Cincinnati running back Giovani Bernard caught eight passes for 128 yards. Jeremy Hill had two short scoring runs for Cincinnati. Arizona won its third straight and is alone as the No. 2 team — behind unbeaten Carolina — in the NFC. Despite the loss, the Bengals remain No. 2 — behind unbeaten New England — in the AFC.

MINNEAPOLIS — The Green Bay Packers were in a funk, booed by their loyal fans the week before and passed by the Minnesota Vikings in the NFC North. Aaron Rodgers and the Packers responded with a resolute victory, fending off the Vikings like Clay Matthews waving his finger after tackling Adrian Peterson for a loss. Rodgers threw for a pair of touchdown passes without a turnover, Datone Jones had two of Green Bay’s six sacks and Eddie Lacy contributed a seasonhigh 100 yards rushing to help the Packers beat the Vikings 30-13 on Sunday and stop a three-game losing streak. “Maybe we’ll get you guys off our back for a couple days,” Rodgers said. “We’ve been taking it on the chin, rightfully so, the last three weeks after a couple real poor performances. This was an important week for us. We really stuck together.” James Jones had six catches for 109 yards after several quiet games and Mason Crosby made all five of his field goal tries, lifting the Packers (7-3) to their 10th win over the Vikings in the last 11 meetings with Rodgers at quarterback. He has thrown for 28 touchdown passes with just three interceptions in those games. From Lacy to Crosby to the two-time NFL MVP Rodgers, the underperforming Packers bounced back in a big way to post the highest score against the Vikings this season. “I think sometimes we play a little better when we start to get questioned,” said Rodgers, who was a ho-hum 16-for-34 for 212 yards but brilliant when he needed to be on third-down scoring passes to Jones and Randall Cobb. The Vikings (7-3) had their fivegame winning streak shoved back in their face by a proud Packers team that clearly wasn’t ready to concede a division it has won four straight times. The rematch is on Jan. 3 in Green Bay. “This team you saw play today, it wasn’t us. We were out of sync, out of whack,” said Peterson, who was held to 45 yards on 13 carries with one touchdown. He lost a fumble at the Packers 21 early in the fourth quarter. Teddy Bridgewater took backto-back sacks to prompt a punt on the next possession, all but sealing the first loss by the Vikings at home in eight games since the Packers won here almost exactly a year ago. “We’ve got to fix this. You’ve got to be able to win when the whole world is watching,” cornerback Captain Munnerlyn said.

Seahawks QB completes 24 of 29 passes for 260 yards and 3 TDs

“He showed good poise in the pocket, a really good job of picking when he needed to get out of there and make something happen, and he took care of the football beautifully all day.” Between last week and this, there were mumblings in the media about whether Wilson is worth the four-year, $87.6 million contract extension he signed before the season. As the disappointing losses have mounted this season — Sunday’s victory boosted Seattle to 5-5 — there has been an increasing willingness to point fingers at Wilson, who previously enjoyed a gentle touch from the Seattle-area press. Wilson didn’t say so directly, but if Sunday’s game was meant to answer that, he did it with an exclamation point. “I ignore the noise and just focus on what we can control,” Wilson said when asked if this was an important week for him. “And then come game day, it’s

the best day there is. On Sunday you get to go out there and play football and love the game for what it is. “I’m not getting distracted by anything else,” he said. “The biggest thing for us is to stay the course and play one game at a time. We needed this, but at the same time we’ve got another one next week.” Seattle’s offense was razor sharp Sunday in perhaps its best performance of the season. The Seahawks had 508 yards of total offense; the previous high this season was 397 in a loss to Cincinnati. They converted eight of 14 third-down situations, good for 57 percent and well above their season average of 38 percent. They scored touchdowns on two of three possessions inside San Francisco’s 20-yard line compared to a season average of 35 percent. They controlled the ball for almost 38 minutes. They scored touchdowns on their first three possessions for the first

time since 2005. To top it off, Wilson was sacked just twice and seemed to spend less time running for his life than in most games this season “The defense did a nice job for us today,” Carroll said. “But the story’s on the other side. “The offense did a great job today,” he said. “They really played good football. They were terrific in running the ball. The third-down stuff was great. We did a little bit of red zone today.” Seattle wide receiver Doug Baldwin said it was the kind of game they’ve been looking for all season and, he hopes, a sign of a strong finish. “Hopefully it is,” said Baldwin, who led Seattle with six receptions for 60 yards. “This is what Seahawks football is about. Run the ball. Pound the ball. Allow our defense to do what it does and then make explosive plays when we need to on third down in the passing game. “That’s what looks like Seahawks football,” Baldwin said. “So today was very familiar for us.” Baldwin, Wilson and several other Seahawks insisted that there weren’t a lot of adjustments made during the week. The turnaround had more to do with correcting mistakes than designing new strategies, they said. “I kept telling you guys that we really weren’t that far off,” Wilson said. “The biggest thing is just staying the course and staying on schedule. In this league, when you put yourself behind the eight ball a little bit, on thirdand-9 and third-and-15 and that kind of stuff, it’s tough. It’s really tough. Today we stayed on schedule, and we were on top of it from the get go.” “It feels good to win,” Wilson said. “That was a fun game to play in.”

and see what happens.” Seattle won with two touchdowns apiece from the rookie tandem of wide receiver Tyler Lockett and running back Thomas Rawls — with the latter rushing for 209 yards in place of injured starter Marshawn Lynch — and a defense that bent at times in the second and third quarters, but was stout when it mattered. The Seahawks, who surrendered fourth-quarter leads in all five defeats this season, kept the 49ers backed up in their end of the field for the entire final period. Indeed, Carroll said, “I really liked the way we played across the board. It was important for us to play hard and tough here at home, and to (make it) feel like we’ve felt it in the past and to share it with our fans.” It was, he added, “a really good football game for us in that regard.” Other Seahawks agreed. “We were just firing on all cylinders

today,” said wide receiver Doug Baldwin. And safety Earl Thomas said, “For the first time (this season), the offense was clicking and we were clicking (on defense).” Seattle started the game like it was going to blow out San Francisco. The Seahawks marched 61 yards for a touchdown on their first possession, 59 yards for a TD on the next, and then put together one of their best drives of the season on the third possession, with this one covering 91 yards to the end zone. The 49ers, meanwhile, had just two first downs and 31 yards of offense to that point. But the visitors managed a touchdown drive of their own late in the second quarter, and then two drives that led to field goals in the third period. But from there the Seahawks took total command, and by the end of the game “it just felt like old times again,” Thomas said.

With six games to play — home games with Pittsburgh, Cleveland and St Louis; road games vs. Minnesota, Baltimore and Arizona — Seattle could finish 11-5 with a season-ending winning streak. That would almost certainly clinch a playoff spot and, coupled with some timely Arizona losses, maybe even a division title. A 10-6 mark might even do the trick for the Seahawks, though 9-7 is no doubt a long shot. “Right now,” said linebacker Bobby Wagner, “our margin for error is very slim. We can’t overlook any opponent that we have (in the coming weeks). We got this win and now we have to work on (preparing for Pittsburgh) next week.” Going forward, added defensive end Cliff Avril, “we just have to build off this win and try not to take any steps backwards. If we just continue to better ourselves, I think the sky’s the limit for us.”

SEATTLE — A week after having one of his worst games as a pro, Russell Wilson had one of his best, allowing one to wonder whether the Seattle Seahawks can yet have another magical season when all is said and done. “It was a huge win for us,” the Seattle quarterback said after leading the Seahawks to a 29-13 NFL victory over San Francisco on Sunday at CenturyLink Field. “We needed this this week.” Wilson completed 24 of 29 passes for 260 yards and three touchdowns. Of his five incompletions, three were passes that he threw away under pressure, and one was dropped by his intended receiver. In other words, Wilson missed on exactly one throw, an attempted bomb for Tyler Lockett that was just beyond Lockett’s outstretched arms halfway through the fourth quarter. The 82.8 completion percentage was the highest of Wilson’s four-year career. “Russell had a really good day today,” Seattle head coach Pete Carroll said. “Great decisions and took care of the football, and he hit almost everything. He missed just a couple shots there, but he had a fine football game.” It was quite a change from last week, when Wilson was 14-for32 for 240 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in a 39-32 loss to Arizona. Wilson’s passer rating in that game was 67.2, his lowest of the season and the seventh-worst of his career. His passer rating Sunday was 138.5, by far his best this season and the third-highest of his career. “Across the board,” Carroll said of Wilson’s performance.

a late-season surge — something Seattle pulled off in each of the last two Super Bowl seasons — there remains hope for a postseason wild-card berth and perhaps even an NFC West title. “There’s a lot of football to be played,” said Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll. “We like what we’re seeing right now, so we’ll see if we can build on it. We have a chance to have a good team ... (and) we’ve always had the opportunity to play real well. We’ve seen some good play throughout the season to know that, (but) it’s the consistency that needs to come to the front and the ability to close out the wins. “It was a really good job of closing out today,” he said. “It was exactly like we wanted to do it.

Smith’s first NFL game is ‘awesome’

Report Card

Herald Writer

SEATTLE — A game against the rival San Francisco 49ers is always important for the Seattle Seahawks, but Sunday’s game at CenturyLink Field was particularly special for one Seattle player. Wide receiver Kevin Smith, activated from the practice squad during the week, played in his first NFL game on Sunday. Though he had no receptions, he was on the field for several offensive snaps as well as on the kickoff coverage team, and one snap with both the punt return and punt coverage teams. “It was awesome,” Smith said. “It was awesome to come out here and do what I had to do to help the team get the win.” Smith played four years at the University of Washington. After going undrafted, he was signed and released by both Arizona and Jacksonville before signing with Seattle prior to training camp. The Seahawks released Smith after training camp and he did not play in 2014. He then re-signed with the Seahawks prior to this season and was released once again, but was later signed to the practice squad where he stayed for the season’s first 10 weeks.

Injury update Seattle had five players leave the game with various injuries, though offensive linemen Justin Britt and J.R. Sweezy both returned after suffering neck/shoulder stingers. Linebacker and special teams player Nick Moody left with a hamstring injury in the first half. Wide receiver Doug Baldwin went out with an ankle injury late in the game, and he is expected to have an MRI today. Center Patrick Lewis also had an ankle injury.

Shead gets the call Cary Williams started at cornerback for Seattle on Sunday, but early in the second half the Seahawks made a switch, bringing in backup defensive back DeShawn Shead. Cornerback Richard Sherman followed San Francisco wide receiver Torrey Smith throughout the game, and Shead ended up playing the corner on the opposite side, as Williams had been doing earlier in the game. “We were just trying to give a guy a chance to play and see what we have,” explained Seattle head coach Pete Carroll. “DeShawn Shead deserves a chance. ... We’ll give guys opportunities and see how they do.” As for Williams, “there’ve been some plays that were made that we just wanted to see some improvement on and see some carryover from weeks past. I thought it was time to give DeShawn a chance to see if he could do it.”

the Seattle Seahawks’ succession plan for running back Marshawn Lynch, but Rawls appears to be making that decision easy for the Seahawks. In what may have been a passing-of-the-torch moment, Rawls produced one of the best performances ever by a Seattle running back, rushing for 209 yards on 30 carries to lead the Seahawks to a 29-13 victory over the San Francisco 49ers Sunday at CenturyLink Field. The undrafted rookie free agent out of Central Michigan University wasn’t supposed to feature prominently in Sunday’s game. But Lynch, Seattle’s No. 1 tailback, was a late scratch because of an abdominal injury that will force him to see a specialist Monday, and Rawls was thrust into the spotlight. However, if Rawls is the understudy, he sure looked like a performer bucking for his name to be the top one on the marquee. He refused to run out of bounds, instead bowling into defenders or stiff-arming them away — 49ers cornerback Tramaine Brock will have the misfortune of having Rawls’ hand imprinted on his forehead for the next couple days. It was, dare one say it, a Marshawn Lynch-like performance. “Yeah,” Seahawks receiver Doug Baldwin replied when

Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett catches a 24-yard pass for a touchdown in the first quarter.

Lockett is the real deal By Todd Fredrickson Herald Writer

SEATTLE — As a five-year veteran, Doug Baldwin is the elder statesman among the Seattle Seahawks wide receivers. He came into the NFL as an undrafted free agent and has worked his way up from the ground floor. He is not shy about sharing his wisdom with younger players or about sharing his opinions with the media. Tyler Lockett, he said, is the real deal, and there are going to be a lot more games like the one Lockett had Sunday as the Seahawks beat San Francisco 29-13 at CenturyLink Field. “I was waiting for that kid to do what he just did, because he has so much potential,” Baldwin said. “He is so good.” Lockett, a rookie, had two touchdown receptions Sunday on catches of 24 and 11 yards, and he finished with four receptions for 48 yards overall. “You see Tyler Lockett and the things he can do. He’s so quick, so fast,” Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson said. “He’s a player that can do it all for us.” The two touchdown receptions showcased the full package of Lockett’s skill set. He’s really fast. On the first touchdown, Lockett beat man coverage by blowing past a defender and catching the ball in stride at the goal line. He’s both agile and strong. On his second touchdown, he caught the ball in traffic at the 5-yard line, slipped out of one tackle and then fought his way

asked if he saw shades of Lynch in Rawls. “The looking for contact, the shiftiness. Marshawn has a little more pizzazz to him, but Rawls is an extremely gifted runner.” “That fires us up,” tackle Garry Gilliam added. “He seeks contact. He’s going to hit somebody, lay a hit, make them think twice — you know, have a little business decision the next time they want to come in contact with him.” Just how historic was Rawls’ day? His 209 yards rushing was the second-highest single-game total in franchise history, behind Shaun Alexander’s 266-yard effort against Oakland in 2001. It broke Curt Warner’s singlegame rookie rushing record of 207 yards set in 1983. Rawls’ 255 total yards from scrimmage were the third-most in franchise history, trailing just Alexander (273) and wide receiver Steve Largent (261 in 1987). Rawls also scored two touchdowns, one on the ground and one through the air. On this day he was the total package. “He catches the swing route and you see him run up the sidelines, that’s the stuff that jumped out when we were watching him as a college player, that he’ll attack guys down the field,” Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said. “To me that was the first impression I got about Thomas, that’s why I liked him from the start. He has that mentality about him, he’s a very aggressive kid, and a very aggressive style of runner, and I think that’s probably what we

into the end zone while being wrestled to the ground by two defenders. “The second one, I just kind of ran a little slant route,” Lockett said. “I’m just trying to make the best of every opportunity. I really don’t know how I did it or what happened, but I just found out I was in the end zone, so I started celebrating.” The two touchdown catches gave Lockett three for the season, tied with Baldwin for the team lead. Lockett also has a kickoff return and a punt return for touchdowns this season, so he leads Seattle with five touchdowns. The Seahawks traded four draft choices to move up into the third round of this year’s draft to pick him out of Kansas State. “He’s doing great. He’s just one of our guys now,” Seattle head coach Pete Carroll said of Lockett. “We count on him making big plays and running down the field, but he’s also a really good route runner, too. “It’s like he’s just one of the fellows out there for us,” Carroll said. “He’s just like a regular starter for us.” Lockett said he and Baldwin have talked about the “rookie wall,” the point at which a young player realizes that no matter how good he was in college, this is a whole new animal and you better step it up, son, if you want to stick around. “When he came in we told him right away there’s a different standard here, and you have to live up to the standard,” Baldwin said. “It doesn’t matter

like the most about him.” Was Rawls trying to emulate Lynch? No, that was just Rawls being Rawls. “I have never ran out of bounds,” Rawls said. “It’s just my make-up, it’s my whole mentality. I think I would feel less of a person just running out of bounds instead of being physical, showing toughness, and (having) a different mentality at the running back position.” This was no mere cameo by Rawls. Rawls was called upon earlier in the season when Lynch missed part of one game with a calf injury and two contests because of a hamstring injury. He produced a 16-carry, 104-yard performance almost entirely in one half in Seattle’s 26-0 victory over Chicago, then went for 169 yards on 23 carries in the Seahawks’ 27-24 loss at Cincinnati. Rawls is giving the Seahawks everything they hoped previous potential Lynch heirs, including Robert Turbin and Christine Michael, couldn’t. This season Rawls leads Lynch in yards (604-417) and yards per carry (6.0-3.8). It’s food for thought. Especially with the 29-year-old Lynch, who missed just one game in the previous five seasons in Seattle, showing signs of breaking down physically. Even Lynch apparently provided words that suggested a changing of the guard, at least for now. “Marshawn came up to me (before the game) and said,

what round you were drafted in. You will get cut if you don’t live up to that standard. “He took it to heart, he applied it to his game and he understood that it’s not about how many passes you get. It’s about making the most of your opportunities, and he’s done that from Day One and he’s done it without an attitude.” “He’s in the midst of hitting the rookie wall right now, but I think this might propel him out of it,” Baldwin said of Lockett. Lockett said he can feel his game improving as the season goes on. He said the key is that he is becoming increasingly able to trust his instincts. “A lot of players are great when they rely on their instincts instead of thinking,” Lockett said. “Thinking is more for when you’re in practice. “That’s what practice is for, but when you come out in a game it’s all reaction. It’s all instincts and you just go out there and you play,” he said. “When somebody is able to rely on their instincts and play, that’s what makes them so great.” Wilson echoed the thought that Lockett has earned everybody’s trust with his work ethic and his production. “You really build trust through the way you practice,” Wilson said. “The best thing about Tyler Lockett and (running back) Thomas Rawls, those two rookies, the way they practice allows you to trust them completely out in the field. Then the plays they make on game day, you’re not surprised.”

‘Look youngin,’ I’m going to pass the torch for the day, you know what to do,’” Rawls said. “That’s all I did. I just waited on my number to get called, and (I went) out there and served as best as I could for the team.” The moment may last a bit longer. Lynch is scheduled to travel to Philadelphia on Monday to visit Dr. William Meyers, a specialist in core and muscle injuries who has performed surgeries on athletes in the past, including Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson and Seattle Mariners second baseman Robinson Cano. Both Peterson and Cano had sports hernias repaired, and Carroll didn’t rule out the possibility Lynch also has a sports hernia. “These injuries have a way of being really difficult to figure out from the outside,” Carroll said when asked if it could potentially be a season-ending injury for Lynch. “The surgery thing is always an option in there. There’s some other things that they’ll take a look at. It’s hard to detect what it is at this point. The specialist will let us know more.” Ominous words about a player who carried Seattle’s offense the past four-plus seasons. But the good news for the Seahawks is that if the torch does indeed need passing, Rawls has proven he’s ready to carry it.

games in franchise history, compiling 255 all-purpose yards and scoring two touchdowns. Russell Wilson was virtually flawless, compiling a season-high quarterback passer rating of 138.5. The Seahawks surpassed the 500-yard barrier, converted eight of 14 third downs, and scored touchdowns two of the three times they reached the red zone. It can’t get much better.

Defense

For nearly the entire first half B+ Seattle’s defense was impenetrable, but then allowed the 49ers to

march 92 yards for a touchdown just before the half ended. Seattle allowed yards in the second half, but got tough when the 49ers got into scoring position, holding San Francisco to field goals. Cliff Avril continued to wreak havoc in the opposition backfield with two more sacks, but the Seahawks couldn’t force the 49ers to turn the ball over.

Special teams

The most notable thing on speCcial teams was the Seahawks missed two extra points, with Steven

Hauschka kicking wide on one and having a second blocked. The Seahawks were fine on kick coverage, but while Tyler Lockett had a great game as a receiver (two TDs) he had an awful day as a returner, managing just one yard on four punt returns. Coaching

Everything the Seahawks’ B+ coaches did offensively turned to gold. They fed the ball to the hot hand, Rawls, who rewarded them with 209 yards on 30 carries. They called plays for Wilson that allowed him to get rid of the ball quickly and avoid taking hits. But there was one moment late in the first half when Seattle got greedy, calling a defensive timeout with 1:03 remaining, and the 49ers used that to help score their only TD of the game.

Overall

This game went almost exactly Ahow the Seahawks would have wanted. The offense, which

had been struggling, produced its best performance of the season. The defense, minus the one blip late in the first half, didn’t allow the 49ers much of anything. The outcome never seemed in doubt. Add in results around the league going its way, and Seattle suddenly finds itself just one game out of a wild-card spot. — Nick Patterson, Herald Writer

finished 12th. “You always want to win, but I’ve learned not to be greedy,” Harvick said after his 12th second-place finish of the year cost him the championship. There was a strong sentimental push for Gordon to go out on top in his final race. But he was only average all season, and that didn’t change Sunday night in front of a huge contingent of friends and family that included Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton and Mario Andretti, who both sat atop his pit box at the start of the race. Gordon led nine laps early in the race and was third for an early restart but he bobbled it and plummeted to eighth. That was about as good as he’d be the rest of the race as he struggled mightily with the handling of his Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet. “Gosh, I’m a little disappointed, I’ll be honest,” Gordon said. “I thought going into the race we had something for them.” Gordon eventually made his way to victory lane to congratulate Busch, who began his career as Gordon’s teammate at Hendrick Motorsports. Temper tantrums and wrecked race cars led to his release before the 2008 season, and Busch has been chasing a Cup championship ever since. “All he’s been through this year, nobody’s more deserving than him,” Gordon said of the new champion. Truex, the underdog driving for single-car team Furniture Row Racing, also didn’t have enough in his Chevrolet to contend despite a handful of gutsy pit calls the team used out of desperation. “We really felt like without trying something really different, we weren’t going to get there,” Truex said. “We felt like we had to take

a really big swing at it.” That made the championship race a two-car battle between Busch and Harvick, and the outgoing champion simply didn’t have enough for Busch. Busch was headed toward the title via a second or third-place finish in the race when NASCAR called a caution for debris with 11 laps remaining. Team owner Joe Gibbs pumped his fists in frustration, but Busch remained calm in the car. The field headed to pit road, Busch asked for an adjustment, and was second on the restart with seven laps remaining. He worked his way past leader Brad Keselowski to claim the lead, then Busch pulled away and handily beat Harvick to the finish line by 1.553 seconds. “This is pretty unbelievable. The dream of a lifetime, a dream come true,” Busch said. The title is a sweet reward for Busch, who has made huge personal and professional gains over the last several years. Known as one of most talented drivers in the sport, his temperament often

got in his own way. But he has mellowed with marriage, gained perspective after the Daytona wreck, and was determined to be on his feet in the delivery room when wife Samantha delivered their first baby, a boy born in May — right after Busch returned to the race car and celebrated his 30th birthday. “I just can’t believe it, with everything that happened this year, all the turmoil, everything I went through, my wife went through,” Busch said. “I said back then, I’ll say it again, the rehab and then getting back and getting focused was the hardest part, the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through. “To put it all together here tonight, this night wasn’t all that hard.” His title is the first for Toyota, which joined the Sprint Cup Series in 2007 and had shots at championships but came up empty again and again. Busch also joins older brother, Kurt, as a NASCAR champion. Kurt Busch won the title in 2004, the inaugural season of NASCAR’s Chase format.
