EVERETT — Homebuilders and conservationists are

of persuasion to the test during a hearing scheduled Wednesday.

That’s when county lawmakers plan to take up proposed land-use changes reacting to the catastrophic Oso mudslide.

They could vote to pass some into law, after two months of back-and-forth.

The growth-oriented conservation group Futurewise supports all three proposals up for discussion, though builders and Realtors have mixed reactions.

EDMONDS — Classroom birthday parties here might be celebrated with gift pencils in lieu of cupcakes next year after the Edmonds School District’s Wellness Committee recently banned edible treats, an effort to promote healthful eating.

Although food items are prohibited for classroom birthday parties, food may be served at three seasonal, cultural or curriculum-related celebrations per school year.

“We want to celebrate the child and not the sweets,” said Maplewood Elementary School Principal Michelle Mathis at the regular Superintendent’s Roundtable on May 21.

The change in procedure was inspired by a new federal Wellness Policy, which requires superintendents to monitor nutritional standards for unregulated items such as food prepared by parent groups, vending-machine fare, student store offerings and classroom parties.

The rules apply to participants in the National School Lunch Program or other federal childnutrition programs.

The Edmonds School District Wellness Committee of educators, school nurses and administrators began discussions shortly after the Wellness Policy was adopted in 2012.

The federal policy does not apply to events after school hours, so concession stands at sporting events, for example, are not restricted.

The federal rule applies only to food sold to students, not given away. The Edmonds School District committee took it a step further by banning food at birthday celebrations.

So what do kids have to look forward to? Gift pencils, origami frogs and extra recess time are some of the favors offered instead of food at several schools in the district.

Three elementary schools had already banned birthday food at the discretion of teachers, parents and principals: Maplewood Elementary, Cedar Way Elementary and selected classrooms from

Slide: 3 proposals to be considered From Page A1

Kristin Kelly, a local program director for Futurewise. “It’s better to start doing something now than to be in a reactive mode.”

The March 22 slide killed 43 people, one of whom remains missing.

The force of the disaster surpassed what experts had predicted from the slide-prone hillside known as Hazel. Debris traveled a mile from the top the 600-foot slope, wiping out the rural Steelhead Haven neighborhood.

A month later, as rescue and recovery operations started to subside, council Chairman Dave Somers jump-started conversations about overhauling land-use regulations.

Somers’ original proposal would have imposed a six-month temporary ban on development within a half-mile of steep slopes.

He and his colleagues abandoned that idea after realizing that such a buffer would have halted new home construction in most of unincorporated Snohomish County.

Since then, the thinking has evolved.

One change now under

discussion would stop new construction in the immediate area of the Oso slide — but not beyond that.

Another would do the same for a flood zone east of the slide. The millions of cubic yards of dirt and debris likely has changed who’s at risk in future floods along that stretch of the North Fork Stillaguamish River.

A third proposal would address various countywide regulations about building near steep slopes, such as increasing the requirements for geotechnical studies before issuing building permits. Other ideas deal with ways to warn homeowners and prospective buyers about natural hazards.

“I want to try to do the right thing for everybody,” Councilman Terry Ryan said.

Getting everyone to agree will be impossible.

While Ryan said he’s prepared to support an emergency ban in the slide area, his council colleague Ken Klein worries that could unintentionally slow down the community’s attempts to rebuild.

The Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties plans to speak out against

proposals to record landslide risks in official county documents that would show up on title searches.

“I think the county needs to act carefully when it comes to the notice requirements,” said Mike Pattison, a builders lobbyist.

“If it were to run on a title, it could make it extremely difficult for homeowners to get insurance. We’re finding that landslide insurance is very difficult, if not impossible, to get.”

The builders group would prefer the county send out warnings about landslide risks with yearly assessment notices. It also opposes a “one-size-fitsall” approach to increasing the zones where special landslide-hazard studies are required as a condition of issuing permits.

The builders, on the other hand, have no problem with making landowners sign waivers acknowledging geological hazards, Pattison said.

Everett, Seattle and Island County have such requirements in place.

Likewise, the Snohomish County-Camano Association of Realtors worries new land-use rules could be burdensome if they aren’t backed by science.

“I think that’s our goal here, to make sure we don’t overreach in the name of safety,” spokesman Ryan McIrvin said. “You start recording on a title, and that’s forever, not just for six months.”

To increase the scientific understanding of landslide risks, Somers and others have advocated for better cooperation with state and federal authorities. A major step toward that goal would be securing an estimated $4 million to finish mapping all of Western Washington using technology known as Light Distance and Ranging, or LIDAR. The technology can help experts pinpoint likely landslide locations, including areas hidden by vegetation and centuries of geologic change.

Kelly, of Futurewise, countered that what’s at stake goes beyond property rights. The whole community ends up grieving and paying the bill when disaster strikes, she said.

Wednesday’s hearing is set for 10:30 a.m. in council chambers on the eighth floor of the county’s Robert Drewel Building, 3000 Rockefeller Ave., Everett.

County removes squatters from park The planned cleanup of Steelhead County Park is on hold after resources were diverted to the Oso mudslide.

By Amy Nile Herald Writer

SULTAN — Two remaining squatters were removed from a stretch of land slated for a new county park along the Skykomish

River last week, but cleanup of the once junk-piled spot just south of Sultan and U.S. 2 could be delayed.

Snohomish County had hoped to finish the work needed to open a camping area with river

access this summer. Now, Steelhead County Park is on the back burner.

Resources have been diverted to Oso and Darrington in the aftermath of the March 22 mudslide, said County Parks Director Tom Teigen. He expects crews to work on environmental cleanup for Steelhead County Park as time allows.

Once cleanup is complete, Teigen said, it won’t take long before the park is open to campers. People can access the area along the river now, but camping is not allowed.

The county would like to purchase three more properties to complete the park. It has been buying up land there for some 20 years. In 2007, $600,000 was

Skilled volunteers needed at homeless event Herald Staff EVERETT — With Project Homeless Connect little more than two weeks away, organizers are seeking skilled volunteers.

Hairstylists, eye specialists, denturists, teachers and interpreters are needed for the event that provides free services for homeless people.

The annual one-day event is scheduled for 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on July 10 at Everett’s Evergreen Middle School, 7621 Beverly

Lane. More than 1,200 people were helped last year at Project Homeless Connect, where those in need receive a hot meal, health screenings, haircuts, shoes and resources related to housing, jobs and veterans benefits.

United Way of Snohomish County is the lead organizer of the event, which brings together Snohomish County Human Services, the Snohomish Health District, nonprofit groups and hundreds of volunteers.

Michelle Morris, senior

manager of community engagement with the local United Way, said at least one trained teacher is needed to oversee a child-care area. United Way spokesman Neil Parekh said the agency has money to pay teachers for the day. “We are looking for people who are CPR and first-aid certified,” he said.

Another big need is for licensed hairstylists who can bring their own supplies, Morris said. Thirty hairstylists turned classrooms into makeshift salons

at the 2013 event.

Spanish and American Sign Language interpreters are needed. And for dental and eye services, needs include an ophthalmologist and a denturist.

“We need eye specialists who carry their own insurance,” Morris said.

Helpers are also needed as greeters and to conduct exit surveys.

To volunteer, contact Michelle Morris, 425-374-5541 or michelle.morris@uwsc.org.

Two more contracts to help remove debris from the Oso landslide area received Snohomish County’s go-ahead Monday.

They total nearly $6 million and come on top of the main contract to haul away an estimated 200,000 cubic yards of debris piled in mounds on either side of the mile-wide slide zone.

The county contracts are separate from the state’s work along the Highway 530 corridor.

One contract will pay AECOM Technical Services of Seattle about $4 million to provide spotters to screen material, in case any human remains or personal effects are found. Search-and-rescue crews already sifted through the debris during the emergency response.

Another portion of the contract will pay URS Corp. of Seattle nearly $2 million to inspect the material for proper disposal and monitor other aspects of the process.

The County Council earlier this month awarded the main $6.4 million contract for carting away slide debris to IMCO General Construction of Ferndale.

Work is scheduled to begin Wednesday.

The March 22 slide killed 43 people. One person, Kris Regelbrugge, still is missing. The county called off active search operations in late April.

The county’s costs for the disaster now exceed $25 million. The county hopes federal and state reimbursements will cover up to 85 percent of the expense.

Attorney may pursue insanity defense for SPU shooting suspect Associated Press

SEATTLE — An attorney gave notice Monday that an insanity defense was being considered for a man charged with killing one student and wounding two others at a Seattle university.

The verbal disclosure came at a hearing where suspect Aaron Rey Ybarra of Mountlake Terrace pleaded not guilty to premeditated first-degree murder and other charges in King County Superior Court.

His defense attorney, Ramona Brandes, has not disputed accounts of the shooting. She maintains Ybarra suffers from mental illness and was unaware of his actions “until he heard a girl screaming.”

Under state law, the defense would have to provide written notice within 10 days to reserve the right to pursue an insanity defense.

Ybarra, 26, is accused of fatally shooting a 19-year-old Seattle Pacific University student and

In addition to the shotgun, police say, Ybarra was armed with a hunting knife and carried more than 50 rounds of ammunition.

If convicted of all charges, Ybarra could face a sentence of up to 86 years in prison.

In addition to the charge of premeditated murder, Ybarra has been charged with three counts of attempted first-degree murder and one count of seconddegree assault. All of the charges could carry increased sentences because of firearms allegations.

BNSF says it won’t fight release of oil-train info OLYMPIA — Snohomish County residents should get a better idea today about how often BNSF Railway is transporting large amounts of Bakken crude oil through the community.

A BNSF official said Monday that the company would not try to block

release of information on Bakken shipments provided to the state under a new federal rule.

The company had until Monday to seek an injunction against disclosure of the document, which state officials have said is a public record.

“We think it is very important that those responsible for security

and emergency planning have such information to ensure that proper planning and training are in place for public safety, but we also continue to urge discretion in the wider distribution of specific details,” said BNSF spokesman Gus Melonas.

State emergency management officials intend to post the information

online today.

The U.S. Department of Transportation in May ordered railroads to provide states a “reasonable estimate” of the number of trains expected to travel through each county, each week. The rule applies to trains that each carry more than 1 million gallons of Bakken crude, which is equivalent to about 35

Swollen creek doesn’t halt food order Associated Press FAIRBANKS, Alaska — A little thing like a flooded creek was not enough to keep an Alaska restaurant owner from delivering Thai ribs and fried rice to stranded customers over the weekend.

Anuson “Knott” Poolsawat, owner of Knott’s Take Out in North Pole, forded the swollen waters of Clear Creek to reach two customers stuck along the Richardson Highway, the Fairbanks Daily

News-Miner.

Mike Laiti and Brandon Borgens were completing a multi-day drive Saturday night up the Alaska Highway when they called in their order to the restaurant, which was near closing.

As they approached Clear Creek, they learned a sinkhole had developed from heavy rain near the creek. The state Department of Transportation closed the bridge.

Laiti called Poolsawat to cancel their order at

the restaurant more than 25 miles away in North Pole.

“I called him and said, ‘Hey man, I can’t make it,’ and he said, ‘Not a problem, I’ll come cross the waters,”’ Laiti said.

“He called me and said, ‘Should I bring a boat?”’

Poolsawat arrived with takeout boxes containing Thai barbecue ribs and Thai fried rice. Another box held a “dinosaur egg” — a hardboiled egg that’s fried and covered in a sweet sesame sauce.

Poolsawat hiked up his shorts and waded through the creek, holding the takeout boxes over his head. The cold water was hip-deep.

Poolsawat had already done them a favor by staying open late, Laiti said.

The delivery was beyond expectations.

“He’d help anybody out. He’s just a really good positive attitude, just a good guy,” Laiti said.

“He’s definitely a goofball character and the food he makes is great.”

Park: County removed tons of junk From Page A3

In 2006, the county targeted the area during an aggressive crackdown on illegal junkyards. Officials said lots littered with scrap vehicles were safety and environmental hazards. The county has since removed hundreds of tons of junk from that area, though some remains.

Meanwhile, homeless people lived in shantytowns along the river.

“We happen to be a stop off for the ‘gypsy’ travelers,” said Sultan Mayor Carolyn Eslick, who is running for county executive. “It was a real issue.”

Eslick said drugs and alcohol use ran rampant.

Inhabitants spilled into the city’s business district, creating problems for store owners, she said. Frequent fights drained city resources.

When the area flooded, Eslick said, human feces from the campers contaminated the water. Fire and rescue teams had to wade through the waste to help the people there, the mayor said.

“It was gross, gross, gross,” she said.

Because the park property is in the river’s floodway, it is expected to be used seasonally. No

permanent structures are planned.

The Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office for several years has been working with the city and local nonprofits to remove the squatters. The plan was to connect people to social services, Eslick said. The campers were told they had to move, sign up for help — or go to jail. Eslick said most took the opportunity, going to substance abuse treatment or getting jobs.

“There were some success stories,” she said.

remaining men on the property they had to go.

“These two fellows had all the chances in the world,” Eslick said.

One man was taken to jail on a warrant, and the other was arrested for trespassing last week, the mayor said.

“Now it’s really crucial that the county gets in there and cleans up the hazardous waste,” Eslick said.

She hopes the county starts developing the property for overnight camping and recreation as soon as possible.

“It’s right on the river, so it’s beautiful,” Eslick said. “It’s absolutely gorgeous. We need to have access for everyone.”

Teigen said several government agencies would need to sign off on the park once cleanup is complete. Opening the park for seasonal camping and fishing, he said, is an important economic driver for Sultan and the Sky Valley.

The county expects to put in fencing and port-a-potties after the cleanup. That should expedite the opening, Teigen said.

“We’d love to get it open as soon as we can,” he said. “There’s a lot of great riverfront there.”

A survey was taken in May of nearly 4,000 district parents, students and staff.

Stanwood: Woman wins $50,000 A scratch ticket purchased at Bob’s Market & Deli in Stanwood landed one woman an unexpected $50,000.

The woman told lottery officials she was standing in the market when she got a call that she’d won $50 with a second-chance drawing from an earlier lottery game. She used some of the money to buy a Red Hot Crossword Scratch ticket that ended up netting her $50,000.

The woman, reportedly a long-time Camano Island resident, declined to be named or interviewed. She did, however, explain her first intended purchase to people when she picked up her prize on June 4, according to a Washington Lottery press release.

She’s getting a new pair of shoes.

But by 8:30 a.m., the Coast Guard said conditions were worsening, the seas were rising, and it would close the bar, where hundreds have died in wrecks.

Ten to 15 minutes from shore, Courtney said, a swell hit the 25-foot boat, water slammed the windshield, and the vessel sank immediately.

“It happened so instantaneously,” Courtney said.

“Nobody saw it coming.”

He said his life jacket got trapped underneath the windshield, and he had to wiggle out of it to swim back up. People aboard a boat following close behind scooped up five survivors, including Courtney.

Later, the Coast Guard found Craig Robert Biggs of West Linn, who had been wearing his life jacket, face down and tangled in fishing equipment.

Alaska quake spawns small tsunami

By Mark Thiessen Associated Press

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — A strong earthquake near Alaska’s Aleutian Islands triggered a tsunami warning Monday, but only small waves measuring several inches hit coastal communities.

The National Tsunami Warning Center, which initially issued a warning that significant inundation was possible, kept advisories in place for parts of the sparsely populated islands, saying conditions could be dangerous to people near the water.

“There could be strong currents, but still stay away from the beach,” said Dave Nyland, a geophysicist at the warning center.

The magnitude-8.0 earthquake struck early Monday afternoon,

centered about 13 miles southeast of Little Sitkin Island, or about 1,400 miles southwest of Anchorage.

There were no reports of damage, said Jeremy Zidek, a spokesman for the Alaska Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management.

Residents in some communities like Adak, which were first in line for the tsunami, did evacuate.

“We’re seeing water leave our bay, so we do have everybody up on the Bering Hill area, where our primary evacuation center is at,” City Manager Layton Lockett told The Associated Press by telephone as he gathered some paperwork before heading out to join about 300 residents at the center.

About 200 miles west, a tsunami wave of about 7 inches was

reported at Amchitka Island, Zidek said. The wave diminished the further it traveled, reaching only a couple of inches at Adak and Shemya.

But the earthquake was widely felt in Adak, one of the largest cities in the affected area. Shaking could also be felt in Shemya and other villages along the island chain.

Shemya Island is where the U.S. military operates Eareckson Air Station, which serves mainly as an early warning radar installation.

Air Force officials said there was no damage to the air station.

Amchitka Island is where the government tested nuclear weapons underground in the 1960s and 70s. The tests included one of the United States’ largest nuclear explosions.

Monday’s earthquake was initially reported with a magnitude of 7.1, but that was upgraded to 8.0, said Natasha Ruppert, a seismologist with the Alaska Earthquake Center. There were several strong aftershocks, with magnitudes ranging from 3.5 to 5.9. Nyland said those would be too small to trigger a tsunami.

A tsunami advisory remained in effect late Monday afternoon for coastal areas between Nikolski and Attu, which is near the tip of the Aleutians.

A separate advisory stretching from Nikolski to Unimak Pass, which is further east, was canceled. That area includes Unalaska, a community of about 4,000 people and home to Dutch Harbor, one of the nation’s largest fishing ports.

Whistleblower complaints put off Investigator tells Obama VA’s ‘harmless error approach’ puts vets at risk

By Kevin Freking Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A top federal investigator has identified “a troubling pattern of deficient patient care” at Veterans Affairs facilities around the country that she says were pointed out by whistleblowers but downplayed by the department.

The problems went far beyond the extraordinarily long wait times for appointments — and the attempts to cover them up — that has put the department under intense scrutiny.

In a letter Monday to President Barack Obama, Carolyn Lerner of the U.S. Office of Special Counsel cited canceled appointments with no follow up, drinking water contaminated with the bacteria that causes Legionnaires’ disease and improper handling of surgical equipment and supplies.

Acting VA Secretary Sloan Gibson said he had launched a departmental review due to be completed within 14 days.

“I am deeply disappointed not only in the substantiation of allegations raised by whistleblowers, but also in the failures within VA to take whistleblower complaints seriously,” he said in a statement.

Lerner said the VA consistently acknowledges problems but says the quality of patient care is not affected, which she referred to as “the VA’s typical harmless error approach.”

“This approach has prevented the VA from acknowledging the severity of systemic problems and from taking the necessary steps to provide quality care to veterans,” Lerner wrote to Obama.

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Acting Veterans Affairs Secretary Sloan Gibson speaks June 18 in Washington, D.C. Gibson has launched an agency review that is due to be completed in two weeks.

“As a result, veterans’ health and safety has been unnecessarily put at risk.”

Complaints about a lack of access to VA health care have prompted a national outcry that led to VA Secretary Eric Shinseki’s resignation. The most startling allegations have arisen out of the VA’s medical center in Phoenix, where a VA inspector general’s investigation found that about 1,700 veterans in need of care were “at risk of being lost or forgotten” after being kept off an official, electronic waiting list.

Lerner says the office is reviewing more than 50 complaints alleging threats to patient health and safety and has referred 29 of them to the VA for investigation.

Her office is an independent investigative and prosecutorial agency that protects federal workers from prohibited personnel practices, especially reprisal for whistleblowing.

Lerner said two cases highlight her concerns. In Fort Collins, Colorado, the VA’s Office of Medical Inspector confirmed multiple violations of policy concerning appointment scheduling and cancellations that masked true wait times. Nearly 3,000 veterans were unable to reschedule cancelled appointments, and one nurse practitioner alone had 975 patients unable to reschedule appointments. The VA did not substantiate that the failure to properly train staff resulted in danger to public health and safety.

Lerner said the VA’s conclusion “is not only unsupportable on its own, but is also inconsistent with reports by other VA components examining similar patient-care issues.”

In a second case, a VA psychiatrist disclosed concerns about patient neglect in a longterm mental health care facility in Brockton, Massachusetts.

One veteran who was a resident of the facility between 2005 and 2013 had only one psychiatric note written in his chart. Another was admitted to the facility in 2003, yet his first comprehensive psychiatric evaluation did not occur until 2011.

Despite the findings, the VA said there was no impact on patient care. A follow-up was requested, and the VA again said it did not feel that the patient’s rights were violated.

“Such statements are a serious disservice to the veterans who received inadequate patient care for years after being admitted to VA facilities,” Lerner wrote. “Unfortunately, these are not isolated cases.”

She cited other cases in Buffalo, New York; Little Rock, Arkansas; Harlingen, Texas; Jackson, Mississippi, and San Juan to bolster her position that the VA is downplaying the impact of deficient care.

Rep. Jeff Miller, the Republican chairman of the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs, said Obama needs to reiterate to each VA employee the need to solve problems rather than downplay them.

“It’s impossible to solve problems by whitewashing them or denying they exist,” Miller said.

Sen. Bernie Sanders, the chairman of the Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs, said the VA provides high quality health care, but the concerns of whistleblowers must be addressed promptly and effectively.

The VA said Gibson had reiterated to staff earlier this month that whistleblowers must be protected.

IRS chief: No obstruction of Congress

By Stephen Ohlemacher Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The head of the IRS said Monday his agency has provided Congress with hundreds of thousands of documents, brushing aside accusations that the IRS has obstructed investigations into the targeting of tea party and other political groups before the 2010 and 2012 elections.

Commissioner John Koskinen was appearing at a rare evening hearing on Capitol Hill to answer questions about lost emails by a key figure in the probe.

Koskinen told the House Oversight Committee in prepared testimony that congressional investigators were informed months ago that Lois Lerner had computer problems back in 2011. Koskinen said emails provided to the committee last fall showed that Lerner’s computer had crashed.

The emails indicate that Lerner had lost some data,

though they don’t explicitly say that Lerner’s emails were lost.

They were provided to congressional investigators as part of the tea party investigation.

“So it should be clear that no one has been keeping this information from Congress,” Koskinen said.

The IRS in 2011 lost an untold number of emails to and from Lerner. She is the former head of the division that processes applications for taxexempt status. The Oversight Committee is investigating the handling of applications from tea party and other political groups.

Koskinen said the IRS inspector general is investigating the lost emails.

“It is not unusual for computers anywhere to fail, especially at the IRS in light of the aged equipment IRS employees often have to use in light of the continual cuts in its budget these past four years,” Koskinen said. “Since Jan. 1 of this year, for example, over 2,000 employees have suffered

hard drive crashes.”

Ahead of the hearing, committee Chairman Darrell Issa asked Koskinen to address a series of technical questions about the agency’s email system and its policy for retaining official documents.

The title of the hearing suggests that Issa, R-Calif., already has reached some conclusions. The hearing is called, “IRS Obstruction: Lois Lerner’s Missing Emails.”

Instead of an invitation, Issa, R-Calif., subpoenaed Koskinen to testify.

“I will not tolerate your continued obstruction and game-playing in response to the committee’s investigation of the IRS targeting,” Issa wrote to Koskinen. “For too long, the IRS has promised to produce requested — and later subpoenaed — documents, only to respond later with excuses and inaction.”

“Despite your empty promises and broken commitments to cooperation, the IRS still insists on flouting

Constitutional congressional oversight,” Issa said.

Koskinen had a long record of government service before taking over as head of the IRS at the start of the year. He served in different positions under Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, and worked for the District of Columbia.

“It’ll be the first time in my long career of testifying anybody ever subpoenaed me but if that’s the way they want to operate, that’s fine with me,” Koskinen said Friday.

“I just got a subpoena announcing that I was to appear at 7 o’clock on Monday night with no inquiry, no request, no question whether I was even going to be in town,” he said.

Lerner, who is now retired from the IRS, has refused to testify at two Oversight Committee hearings, invoking her constitutional right against self-incrimination.

The Oversight Committee is holding a second hearing on the lost emails today.

Memo justifies drone killing of American

By David Lauter Tribune Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON — A previously secret Justice Department memo, released by a federal appeals court Monday, justified the targeted killing of Anwar al-Awlaki, an American citizen who was killed by a drone strike in Yemen in 2011, on the grounds that as a leader of an al-Qaida affiliate, he was actively “engaged in hostilities against the United States.”

The 2010 memo was written by David Barron, the acting head of the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel at the time, and concluded that neither the Constitution nor several federal statutes would prevent the president from ordering the killing of someone in al-Awlaki’s circumstances.

Anwar al-Awlaki, an al-Qaida leader who was born in the United States, was killed by a U.S. drone strike in 2011.

“At least where, as here, the target’s activities pose a ‘continued and imminent threat of violence or death’ to U.S. persons, ‘the highest officers in

the Intelligence Community have reviewed the factual basis’ for the lethal operation, and a capture operation would be infeasible,” the killing would be considered a lawful act of war, the memo concluded.

The existence of the memo and the outline of its legal argument for why the government had authority to kill al-Awlaki, who was born in New Mexico, has been known for some time.

But the release of a redacted copy by a federal appeals court in New York provided the first public view of the specifics.

The Obama administration had resisted efforts to release the document to the public, but lost that fight in the appeals court and decided against appealing further.

Barron, who wrote at least three memos on the subject, was recently confirmed as a

federal judge after the Obama administration agreed to a demand from several senators that they be allowed to read the documents.

In a statement, a lawyer representing al-Awlaki’s family criticized the legal reasoning in the memo. “The DOJ memo confirms that the government’s drone killing program is built on gross distortions of law,” said Pardiss Kebriaei of the New York-based Center for Constitutional Rights.

The memo authorized either the U.S. military or the CIA to carry out a strike against alAwlaki. The drone strike in which he was killed, which also took the life of another U.S. citizen who was traveling with him, was carried out by the military. The second victim was not a target, U.S. officials said later.

ACROSS THE U.S.

Child migrant center set for Texas McALLEN, Texas — The U.S. government plans to turn an empty 55,000-square-foot warehouse in South Texas into a processing facility for unaccompanied children who have entered the country illegally, according to construction permits obtained by The AssociatedPresson Monday. Thepermits reveal plans for four fence-enclosed pods inside a corrugated steel warehouse in McAllen that could accommodate about 1,000 children.

More than 52,000 unaccompanied minors have been arrested since October after entering the United States illegally, a 99 percent increase over the same period a year earlier.

U.S. law requires that the children be processed and transferred to custody of the Health and Human Services Department within 72 hours of their arrest.

The wave of children has overwhelmed Border Patrol stations in South Texas, so Homeland Security has been flying planeloads of children to Arizona for processing before sending them to shelters around the country.

D.C.: 168 children rescued The FBI said agents and local police in the past week rescued 168 victims of child sex trafficking, including many who had never been reported missing.

In addition, 281 pimps were arrested as part of the same nationwide initiative, an annual enforcement push known as Operation Cross Country.

FBI Director James Comey said Monday that the children who were rescued did not come from faraway lands but were instead “America’s children.”

This is the eighth such week-long operation. The FBI says nearly 3,600 children have so far been recovered from the streets.

Calif.: Husband sentenced A judge sentenced an Iraqi immigrant Monday to 26 years-to-life in prison for his wife’s fatal beating — an attack that initially drew international condemnation when authorities believed it was a hate crime.

Kassim Alhimidi, 50, was sentenced in San Diego County Superior Court.

Shaima Alawadi, 32, died after suffering multiple fractures to her skull in 2012 in El Cajon. Investigators initially believed the killing was a hate crime because of a note found after the beating near the devout Muslim mother of five read: “This is my country, go back to yours, you terrorist.”

N.Y.: Municipal IDs New York City is poised to approve the creation of municipal identification cards that would allow immigrants living in the country illegally to access key city services they were previously unable to obtain. The City Council will vote Thursday to create the New York City Identity Card, Democratic Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito said Monday. The card will be available to people who can prove their identity and residence in the nation’s largest city.

AROUND THE WORLD Ukraine: Separatists agree to abide by cease-fire Insurgents promised Monday to honor a cease-fire declared by the Ukrainian president and engage in more talks to help resolve the conflict that has left hundreds dead in eastern Ukraine. The announcement came on the first day of discussions between a former Ukrainian president, the Russian ambassador, European officials and the separatists. President Petro Poroshenko’s peace plan started with a weeklong unilateral cease-fire Friday to uproot the mutiny that has engulfed the nation’s industrial east. Alexander Borodai, one of the rebel leaders who took part in Monday’s talks in Donetsk, said they would respect the cease-fire.

Morocco: Ebola cases rise The international medical organization Doctors Without Borders sounded the alarm Monday from Morocco over the outbreak of the Ebola virus in West Africa as some 20 new deaths have been reported. Meanwhile, the World Health Organization said that the latest figures show 567 cases with 350 deaths in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. Last week the organization reported more than 330 deaths.

Feds weigh Boeing role in crash

By Alan Levin Bloomberg News

WASHINGTON — U.S. investigators are debating whether to blame a Boeing Co. jetliner’s design for helping cause a cascade of pilot mistakes in last year’s Asiana Airlines crash in San Francisco, which killed three teenagers.

The sticking point within the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board ahead of its final decision has been the extent to which the Boeing 777’s automatic

throttle contributed to the plane’s loss of speed before it slammed into a seawall on July 6, 2013, said three people with knowledge of the discussions. They asked not to be identified because they weren’t authorized to speak.

The safety board today is to decide on the probable cause and other factors leading to the crash, the first in the U.S. with passenger deaths in more than four years.

While there’s little doubt the pilots made multiple mistakes, a finding that equipment on the 777-200 confused them could

open Boeing to greater liability in lawsuits and shade public opinion.

The NTSB has several options to address the role of the autothrottle design. It can include it as part of the cause, list it as a “contributing factor,” or make recommendations for safety improvements that mention the equipment’s role.

The plane crashed after the Asiana pilots allowed it to get almost 40 mph slower than the target speed as they neared the runway.

Both Boeing and Asiana, which gave their recommended conclusions to the NTSB in March, laid primary responsibility for the accident on the pilots.

The Seoul-based airline and Chicago-based planemaker differ, though, over whether other issues were at play.

Boeing maintains the accident was solely the crew’s fault and would have been avoided if the pilots had aborted the landing, as required under airline See BOEING, Page A8

U.S. hinterlands court Chinese firms

By Paul Wiseman Associated Press

PINE HILL, Ala. — Burdened with Alabama’s highest unemployment rate, long abandoned by textile mills and furniture plants, Wilcox County desperately needs jobs.

They’re coming, and from a most unlikely place: Henan Province, China, 7,600 miles away.

Henan’s Golden Dragon Precise Copper Tube Group opened a plant here last month. It will employ more than 300 in a county known less for job opportunities than for lakes filled with bass, pine forests rich with wild turkey and boar and muddy roads best negotiated in four-wheel-drive trucks.

“Jobs that pay $15 an hour are few and far between,” says Dottie Gaston, an official in nearby Thomasville.

What’s happening in Pine Hill is starting to happen across America.

After decades of siphoning jobs from the United States, China is creating some. Chinese companies invested a record $14 billion in the United States last year, according to the Rhodium Group research firm. Collectively, they employ more than 70,000 Americans, up from virtually none a decade ago.

An expansion project will enable the Everett Job Training & Education Center to serve more people.

A donor’s bequest of $30,000 a year over time funded the expansion, which will add a third classroom at the south Everett facility.

The expansion will allow the nonprofit to increase enrollment from 120 students per session to 180 and provide space for in-demand courses such as GED. The Everett Job Training & Education Center is located at 210 SW Everett Mall Parkway, Suite D, in Everett. Last year, the center served 338 people.

Free classes, support and job placement services are provided. For more information or to RSVP to the open house, call 206-726-5857.

BRIEFLY

EPA scolded by Supreme Court WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court largely left intact Monday the Obama administration’s only existing program to limit power plant and factory emissions of the gases blamed for global warming. But a divided court also rebuked environmental regulators for taking too much authority into their own hands without congressional approval.

The justices said in a 5-4 vote along ideological lines that the Environmental Protection Agency cannot apply a permitting provision of the Clean Air Act to new and expanded power plants, refineries and factories solely because they emit greenhouse gases.

May’s home sales up Sales of previously owned U.S. homes posted the best monthly gain in nearly three years in May. The National Association of Realtors reported Monday that sales of existing homes increased 4.9 percent last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.89 million homes. The monthly gain was the fastest since August 2011, but even with the increase, sales are still 5 percent below the pace in May 2013.

Obama pushes for paid maternity

By Nedra Pickler Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama said Monday that the United States should join the rest of the industrialized world and offer paid leave for mothers of newborns.

“Many women can’t even get a paid day off to give birth — now that’s a pretty low bar,” Obama said at the White House Summit on Working Families. “That, we should be able to take care of.”

The president is talking about paid maternity in the midst of a midterm election campaign focused on women voters, raising questions about how he would fund such a system. “If France can figure this out, we can figure this out,” Obama said.

While some companies offer paid family leave to attract workers, the 1993 Family Medical Leave Act only requires that employers provide unpaid leave for medical and family reasons.

Obama praised California, Rhode Island and New Jersey for creating a state benefit. But he has not endorsed legislation that would create a similar national system funded by a payroll tax, and he pledged in his 2008 presidential campaign not to raise taxes on families making under $250,000 a year.

Good deeds The Community Health Center of Snohomish County and Molina Healthcare came together to provide free health screenings June 21. The Community Health Center is a non-profit primary health care provider for uninsured and underserved populations.

Faced with daunting financial challenges, new farmers are getting some help from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The department said Monday that it has launched a website that focuses on the specific needs of beginning farmers and ranchers. The site, www.usda.gov/newfarmers, is aimed at attracting and educating a new generation of farmers to an old industry that is experiencing a “renaissance,” said USDA Deputy Secretary Krysta Harden.

Six Flags in China Two months after announcing plans to enter the Middle East market, Six Flags Entertainment Corp. said Monday it will build amusement parks in China. Six Flags said it has formed a partnership with Riverside Investment Group Co., a leading real estate developer in China, to build “multiple Six Flags-branded theme parks” in China in the next decade.

Starbucks tries soda

ASSOCIATED PRESS

President Barack Obama has lunch Monday with Shelby Ramirez at a Chipotle Mexican Grill before they attended the White House Summit on Working Families.

Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., has introduced legislation that would provide up to 12 weeks of paid leave through a fund in the Social Security Administration, paid for by contributions from employees and employers of 0.2 percent of wages. She said she has personally encouraged the president to back it and hopes he will, despite his tax pledge.

“We’re talking about 2 cents of every $10,” she said in an interview at the summit. She said without such a fund, eight out of 10 workers can’t take advantage of their right for family leave because they can’t afford it.

The Governor’s Industrial Safety and Health Advisory Board is accepting nominations for the 2014 Governor’s Lifesaving Awards for workers in Washington who saved a life in the past 12 months.

The heroic act must have been performed during work hours and taken place between June 1, 2013 and May 31. The

deadline for nominations is June 30. Go to www.wagovconf. org.

The Edmonds Center for the Arts has been awarded a grant from the Harrington-Schiff Foundation to purchase ukuleles for use during its new Hawaiian Summer Keiki Camp.

The program is in partnership

When Obama came to the White House, he instituted six weeks of paid leave for his workers when they have a child, get sick or injured or need to care for an ailing family member, using his authority to set his staff’s compensation under the personnel code.

He does not have the power to award paid leave to other federal workers without congressional action since they are covered under a different section of law. The White House has supported the goal of legislation See OBAMA, Page A8

Starbucks Corp. said Monday handcrafted Fizzio sodas will hit about 3,500 Starbucks stores in the southern U.S. and Hawaii today. The sodas come in spiced root beer, ginger ale and lemon ale flavors.

Prices for the new carbonated sodas will vary by location. A medium-sized Fizzio soda will cost $2.95 in Los Angeles, for example.

Another air bag recall Faulty air bags — which have already led to the recall of millions of cars worldwide — are blamed for a new round of recalls in the U.S. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Monday that BMW, Chrysler, Ford, Honda, Mazda, Nissan and Toyota will recall older-model cars sold in places where hot, humid weather can potentially affect the air bags.

“The airplane and all airplane systems were functioning as expected prior to impact and did not contribute to the accident,” Boeing said in its submission to the NTSB earlier this year.

Asiana urged the safety board in its March submission to find that the auto-throttle was a cause of the pilots’ mistakes. It also said the NTSB should recommend that the U.S.

Obama also encouraged employers to have more flexible work schedules and directed federal agencies to expand flexible work arrangements where possible.

He also urged Congress to pass legislation requiring employers to accommodate pregnant employees so they can continue to perform their jobs.

The president personalized the issues by talking about the struggles of his single mother and the challenges that he and his wife, Michelle, had when their children were young, even though they were fortunate to have benefits many workers don’t enjoy.

He acknowledged he left Michelle to carry the heaviest child care burdens while he worked and campaigned.

Federal Aviation Administration require Boeing to add a cockpit warning when speeds get too slow.

The 777, like Boeing’s 737 and 787, has a suite of computer-driven tools in the cockpit to help reduce pilot workload. Such automation, which has also been adopted in similar ways

by Airbus, is credited with helping reduce accidents and improve efficiency.

At the same time, pilot misunderstandings about automation have been studied for 20 years and linked to accidents, said David Woods, a systems

The summit has been months in the making, with several regional events leading up to it featuring administration officials.

The White House devoted all its star power to the event — and even a surprise appearance by a celebrity to echo Obama’s criticism of “Mad Men” policies in today’s workplace.

Christina Hendricks, who plays single mom Joan on the AMC dramatization of a 1960s ad firm, said, “In the 21st century the only place for a story like Joan’s should be on TV.” Obama took four working parents for lunch at a Chipotle up the street, telling them he was interested in hearing their stories and “comparing notes,” then later met with business leaders with family-friendly policies.

“This is an old story,” Woods said.

An FAA study released last year found that pilot reliance on cockpit automation systems has led to occasional confusion and new safety risks.

In the San Francisco accident, Captain Lee Kang Kuk, a veteran with Asiana who was being trained on the 777 wide-body, accidentally switched off the jetliner’s automatic speed control as he was trying to descend, according to NTSB documents.

Other Chinese projects that are creating jobs: ■■In Moraine, Ohio, Chinese glassmaker Fuyao Glass Industry Group Co. is taking over a plant that General Motors abandoned in 2008 and creating at least 800 jobs.

■■In Lancaster County, South Carolina, Chinese textile manufacturer Keer Group is investing $218 million in a plant to make industrial yarn and will employ 500. South Carolina nudged the deal along with a $4 million grant.

The plane’s tail broke loose as it hit the seawall, and the fuselage then bounced and spun down the runway. The three girls who died may have been flung from the jet because they weren’t wearing seatbelts, according to statements to investigators by unidentified witnesses traveling with them.

The U.S. trade deficit in goods with China last year hit a record $318 billion.

For three decades, U.S. companies have moved operations to China.

The flow is at least starting to move the other way.

One reason is that in the past decade, the cost of labor, adjusted for productivity gains, has surged 187 percent at Chinese factories, compared with just 27 percent in the United States, according to Boston Consulting Group.

Chinese electricity costs rose 66 percent, more than twice the United States’ increase.

And the value of China’s currency has risen more than 30 percent against the U.S. dollar over the past decade. The higher yuan has raised the cost of Chinese goods sold abroad and made U.S. goods more affordable in China.

Those rising costs have cut China’s competitive edge. In 2004, manufacturing cost 14 percent less in China than in the United States; that advantage has narrowed to 5 percent. If the trend toward higher wages, energy costs and a higher currency continues, Boston Consulting

a series of changes to the auto pilot and throttles.

He “believed the autothrottle should have come out of the idle position to prevent the airplane going below the minimum speed” for landing, the NTSB said in a summary of an interview with him.

Among the questions the NTSB also may decide are whether the pilots were adequately trained in the auto-throttle and whether Boeing’s documentation was sufficient to explain it.

The FAA required Boeing to add a note to the thennew 787’s documentation

predicts, U.S. manufacturing will be less expensive than China’s by 2018.

Sometimes, political pressure nudges Chinese firms into investing in America. Tianjin Pipe, for instance, began building its Texas plant after the U.S. imposed sanctions against Chinese-made pipes in 2010, notes Thilo Hanemann, Rhodium’s research director.

Officials in southwestern Alabama went out of their way to lure Golden Dragon, which wanted to build a plant to make copper tubing for air conditioners. At first, the company considered Thomasville, just across the border in Clarke County. But Thomasville didn’t have any sites large enough to suit Golden Dragon.

“I was almost in a panic,” recalls Thomasville Mayor Sheldon Day. But Day spotted an industrial park in Wilcox County with plenty of space. Day says he didn’t mind the project going to a neighboring county.

The plant would employ Thomasville residents, too.

And there was another benefit: Wilcox County — stuck with 15.5

warning pilots they could lose speed protection under the same circumstances, according to NTSB documents. An FAA test pilot flying the 787 in 2010 said he was surprised to learn that the plane’s speed protection could be lost in some cases. The changes weren’t required for the 777.

percent unemployment, Alabama’s highest — qualified for extra aid. It landed $8 million in state and federal grants to help build an annex road and sewage lines for the project.

Wilcox County also gave the company 100 acres of a 274-acre industrial park it bought for $1.2 million and a break on local property taxes. And Alabama offered to reimburse the company up to $20 million of its costs for building the $100 million factory. It will get the full amount if it ends up hiring 500 people, says George Alford of the Wilcox County Industrial Development Authority.

Local officials assembled all the public agencies and utilities Golden Dragon will have to deal with in one room on one day so executives could have their questions answered at once.

The message, Day said, was: “If you come here, we’ll hold your hand.”

There are two other Chinese firms in Alabama: Continental Motors in Mobile makes piston engines for aircraft. And Shandong Swan USA in Montgomery makes saws for cotton gins.

IN OUR VIEW | RINGLING BROS. CIRCUS

Those elephants in the room There are traditions and there are relics. The Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey Circus gives expression to both.

A generation or two ago, Gen Xers and Baby Boomers glutted on lavender cotton candy and watched as Gunther Gebel-Williams, touted as the “greatest animal trainer of all time,” draped lions around his neck like a boa. There were jugglers, high-wire motorcyclists, acrobats and that hyper-packed clown car. And there were elephants, one of the most intelligent and emotionally complex animals on Earth, magically coerced to perform on command.

Circus language crept into our vocabulary. You don’t want to be compared to a

clown or a trained seal. Absent a “three-ring circus,” scribes wouldn’t have an easy cliché to analogize politics.

There remains the (literal) elephant in the room: Trainers use bull hooks, chain at least one leg to limit mobility, and ferry elephants side-by-side on trains to dozens of cities every year. From an animal rights perspective, it’s barbaric. It also presents a colossal public relations challenge.

Creative branding is an art form. Ringling Brothers’ breeding operation has the altruistic title, “Center for Elephant Conservation,” replete with a fancy website and a “commitment to caring.” Regarding GebelWilliams’ legacy, the company

underlines that “Gunther demonstrated to all that humans and animals could work, live and thrive together in harmony and should respect one another, thus forever banishing the outdated notion of ‘man versus beast.’” (“Beast” better describes the folks with the chains.)

Last week, a media release from Comcast Arena did its best to gild the cages. Spectators can soak in “the power and concentration of the Shaolin Warriors of China,” and enjoy the “whirling energy of the high-flying Cuban Comets” and the “graceful flexibility of the Russian super-vixen Lightning Rods.”

The circus seems to import its talent (with a Cold War flavor,

no less).

There’s also this ironic kicker: “What Ringling Bros. show would be complete without a menagerie of exotic animal, such as dogs, ponies, camels and, of course, the world famous Ringling Bros. performing pachyderms.”

Ponies and dogs are not exotic and “pachyderms” is a fancy way of saying “elephants.” It’s 2014. Those performing pachyderms deserve emancipation, a fancy way of saying freedom.

Ringling Bros. travels to Everett in September and families will decide for themselves. In an evolving marketplace, it’s adapt or die.

And consumers vote with their feet.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■ MINIMUM WAGE

Price of goods goes up regardless With all the whining going on over paying a livable minimum wage of $15 an hour, you’d think the sky was falling. The basic argument against raising the minimum wage is that it would raise prices. If that’s the case, how about all of us take a 50 percent cut in pay so prices will go down? That’s the logic that’s being regurgitated.

The price of oil has been the driving factor behind rising food prices and just about everything else. But we continue to consume oil. Prices, have, and will continue to rise whether minimum wage goes up or not.

Raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour would simply pull workers up to a standard of living equal to 1970. That year one could buy a Big Mac for 45 cents. Then you could buy a gallon of gas for 36 cents and minimum wage was $1.60 an hour. Move the decimal point once to the right and that is the cost of those same things today...

■ ECONOMY

Will we allow capitalism to work?

Since Woodrow Wilson assumed the presidency in 1913, there has been a systematic effort to fundamentally transform America. His prejudice and hostility against the U.S. Constitution and the free enterprise capitalistic system resulted in a greatly expanded federal government and increased taxation. The federal income tax and the Federal Reserve were thus created. However, by 1920 unemployment had increased from 4 percent to 12 percent, GNP had plunged 17 percent and the nation was gripped in a depression.

The 1920 presidential election had Warren Harding winning over James M. Cox. Harding, in early 1921, slashed federal taxes across the board against the advice of his commerce secretary, Herbert Hoover, and the political elite.

However, the results were almost immediate, by mid1921 recovery was in progress and by 1923 unemployment had dropped from 12 percent to 2.4 percent, with a drop in the national debt of over 30 percent, which ushered in an era of unprecedented prosperity called the Roaring Twenties.

However, we have been conditioned that free market capitalism is to be held with suspicion and disdain and that it is the federal government that should be the driver of the

Federal government economic stimulus creates enormous debt without corresponding benefit. But, it is excessive business taxation and the stifling regulatory burden that holds back economic progress. Lower that burden and slash taxes and the economy will leap forward and virtually everyone will benefit.

We do have a citizen’s militia With reference to the recent letters regarding firearms: The United States already has a “well-regulated” citizen’s militia: It’s named the National Guard.

Reginald Allen Lynnwood

■ FIREARMS

Gun control stats are incorrect In response to the letter, “Strict gun control does work”: The statistic from gunpolicy.org claiming a rise in U.S. gun homicides is just flat wrong. Based on statistics from the Department of Justice’s Bureau of Justice Statistics, gun homicides dropped from a high in 1993 of seven deaths per 100,000 to 3.6 per in 2011. This is also backed up by a Pew Research Center study, which puts the gun homicide rate in 1998 at approximately five per 100,000, not the 3.37 claimed gunpolicy.org.

The letter points out the lack of mass shootings in Australia since the gun confiscation, while failing to point out that in the U.S., mass shooting deaths result in less than 1 percent of all gun homicide deaths in the U.S. (using the Australian number of five or more deaths to qualify).

Given the vast differences between the two countries, comparing gun-related crimes does little to advance the issue. Australia’s gun crime rate was falling at nearly the same rate before the strict gun laws of 1997, and studies there suggest the gun laws have had a marginal effect on the statistical drop. As with any statistic, you can use them to make whatever point you want.

For instance, Chicago has enjoyed six straight quarters of dropping gun homicide rates, at about the same time as they finally legalized concealed carry permits for residents. Correlation or causation? Hard to tell, but that won’t stop some from using the statistic to promote their agenda.

Even though gun homicides in the U.S. have been falling since 1993, 56 percent of the population, according to the Pew study, believe the rate is rising. Not hard to believe given the

media-driven culture we live in, as well as sites such as gunpolicy.org that misstate the facts. Also bear in mind that criminals don’t typically obey gun laws, no matter how draconian. The Bureau of Justice reports that in 2004, the last year for which they have numbers, fully 77 percent of convicted felons report that they obtained their weapons either from friends or family, or from illegal sources. Stripping law-abiding citizens of their right to self-defense is not the answer.

As to the question of whether or not our founding fathers would consider our current take on the Second Amendment to be “well regulated,” I think the resounding answer is yes. Compared to gun-control laws at the time of the ratification of the Constitution, it must be unequivocally yes. One could even argue that they would say it is over-regulated.

‘Not be infringed’ is also very clear I read the Friday letter about firearms, “Strict control does work” and “Writer provided rest of the story.” Both complain about cherry-picking from the Second Amendment, and proceed to do just that.

They like the phrase, “well regulated militia” and apparently think no further reading is required. I see the Second Amendment as A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bare arms shall not be infringed.

The rights of the people not being infringed is pretty easy to understand too. I suppose that’s why some scholars accidently leave that part out of their analysis.

Should Amazon just take over?

I

t’s the darnedest thing. Only a select few sites grace the bookmark bar topping my Web browser. Amazon.com is one. And Amazon is the only retailer to make the cut.

That it lets me buy ant traps online in 40 seconds, gets them to my house in two days and charges a good price for it all is kind of miraculous, don’t you think?

Funny. When Amazon hiked the annual cost of Amazon Prime — its “free” twoday shipping service, with some digital content added — to $99, many customers complained. Not I. I love Amazon. I do, I do. Yet the company gives me the creeps in several ways.

Start with books. Amazon has sent most of the bookshops in which I happily lingered into oblivion.

As it branched out into selling everything else, it impoverished the FROMA HARROP lovely little downtown stores selling shoes, printers, bug lights and dog collars — at least the ones WalMart hadn’t already obliterated.

The question is: When Amazon crushes what’s left of the competition, will it then raise prices to gouging levels? That’s what monopolies do.

But let’s be positive again. Amazon commands so much of the market because it gives consumers like me low prices and good service. This is done at the expense of profit margins, which is why, despite Amazon’s enormous revenue growth ($75 billion last year), its famously patient investors have yet to enjoy a gusher of reward.

I used to enjoy righteous indignation over Amazon’s opposition to collecting the same sales taxes that retailers with a store, a warehouse or another physical presence in a state had to. That gave the Internet giant an unfair price advantage over local merchants.

Then what does Amazon go out and do?

It turns around and supports an organized system for collecting online sales taxes.

It happens that this fit with the plan to place warehouses — Amazon calls them “fulfillment centers”! — all over the country to allow for fast delivery of stuff. Thus, Amazon would have had to collect a lot of sales taxes anyway.

Amazon has entered the smartphone business. Its new Fire Phone has this neat feature: You point the phone at an object of desire. The phone will see it or hear it and then may help you buy it.

(My nightmare is directing the phone toward the sound of Schubert’s 9th Symphony and finding I bought not the album but the Cleveland Orchestra.)

Yes, Amazon is into music streaming, and did I mention filmmaking?

It’s also into taking over Seattle. The company just tossed another half-million square feet of Seattle office space into the cart. That’s in addition to the 5 millionplus square feet it already owns or leases.

The company has come under considerable criticism for its behavior in a pricing dispute with Hachette Book Group, slowing the sales of the publisher’s works. With Amazon so dominant in bookselling, this raises cultural concerns.

Some argue that Amazon is not the only mammoth stomping through the online jungle. Its advance may be checked by the likes of Wal-Mart and Alibaba, the Chinese e-commerce titan.

But that wouldn’t leave a lot of room for the indie booksellers still on Main Street, would it? And bless them for holding out.

Am I overthinking this? Perhaps my faith in the creative-destructive powers of capitalism is so weak that I can’t conceive of other business models saving us from Amazon’s dominion.

The other question is: Do we want to be saved? If the answer is no, then perhaps the time has come to just dump ourselves in the cart, click “Proceed to checkout” and be done with it.

Hiker died of Pursuit: Police stopped chase 4 times hypothermia on Mount Rainier From Page A1

By Phuong Le Associated Press

SEATTLE — A 70-yearold hiker who died of hypothermia in rugged terrain in Mount Rainier National Park over the weekend was experienced, prepared and knew the mountain well after having written dozens of stories about treks through the area.

She did not have other injuries and her death was an accident, the Pierce County medical examiner’s office said Monday.

Karen Sykes had heart disease, according to an autopsy, but her daughter and others said she was healthy and fit and often hiked twice a week.

While not certain about the circumstances around her death, those who knew Sykes said earlier that they believed her death was something that could happen to anyone no matter how experienced.

“The mountains are big. There’s a lot going on. She was extremely experienced but experience has nothing to do with any of it,” said Kim Brown, who has hiked with Sykes.

“She was very careful, very cautious,” Brown said of Sykes, who was prominent in the Northwest hiking community for her trail reviews and photographs and her book on hiking western Washington. “It’s just something that happens out in the mountains.

Everybody who goes in the mountains knows this can happen. It doesn’t

mean that you shouldn’t go out, you need to be aware of it.”

Sykes was reported missing late Wednesday when she failed to meet up with her boyfriend as planned during a day hike on the east side of the mountain.

Park officials suspended three-day search efforts on Saturday when they discovered Sykes.

Kindra Ramos, with the nonprofit Washington Trails Association, said she won’t guess what happened to Sykes but said hiking comes with some inherent risks.

“As they go outdoors, the best thing you could do is to have your 10 essentials, be comfortable with your surroundings, and go as far as you’re comfortable,” Ramos said.

She recommended proper trip planning and preparation, including reading trip reports and knowing weather conditions.

when he was a juvenile.

His latest run-in with the law happened on June 3.

Around 12:30 p.m. a man reported that his 1997 Safari Trek motorhome was missing from Snohomish Storage on Bickford Avenue.

About five hours later a man called 911 to report that he spotted his friend’s stolen motorhome in the parking lot of the Walmart on Evergreen Way in Everett. The man said he recognized the motorhome because of the distinctive tiger painted on it.

An Everett police officer found the motorhome in the parking lot. The officer saw a man driving and a woman passenger.

As the officer was walking up to the vehicle, the woman jumped out and the motorhome sped off.

Officers followed the

recreational vehicle as it sped through south Everett, running red lights and jumping curbs. Johns allegedly drove over a median and cut off several cars to get on the freeway. At that point, police called off the pursuit for safety reasons.

A Snohomish County sheriff’s deputy began following the motorhome at a distance. Johns reportedly exited the freeway at Highway 526, pulled over and then drove across all lanes of traffic to head north on Broadway. A deputy picked up the pursuit. The motorhome sped through the residential area, traveling about 70 mph.

The chase was called off again.

The motorhome was then spotted in north Everett, running red lights and cutting off traffic. Johns reportedly lumbered onto U.S. 2, driving eastbound in

the westbound lanes of the trestle, prosecutors wrote.

A sheriff’s deputy caught up with the motorhome in Lake Stevens. Johns headed north on Highway 9, again driving in the opposite lane of travel, forcing vehicles to swerve out of the way.

A Washington State Patrol trooper threw some spike strips down on the roadway in an effort to puncture the motorhome’s tires.

The trooper reported that Johns swerved at him. The trooper jumped out of the way and the motorhome avoided the spike strips.

Johns kept his foot on the gas, forcing more vehicles off the road. A deputy again tried the spike strips. Johns reportedly swerved at the deputy. The cops called off the pursuit for a fourth time, some 45 minutes after the Everett police officer tried to stop Johns.

About 10 minutes later,

the motorhome was spotted driving east on the Mountain Loop Highway, headed toward Granite Falls. That’s where Johns allegedly crashed into several cars and plowed into a house. He sprang out of the motorhome and barged into a house on Mountain View Street.

The homeowner called 911, saying a bald man wearing only underwear had broken in and demanded clothes. The residents ran out of the house as Johns headed upstairs.

Police found Johns there. He “was wearing a pair of women’s jeans that were too small, a woman’s T-shirt and a pair of blue slippers. This clothing belonged to the homeowners,” prosecutors wrote.

Treats: Economics part of decision From Page A1

Westgate Elementary.

Nationwide, only 7.3 percent of schools prohibit sugary items during classroom birthday parties and 6.4 percent disallow sweets for classroom holiday parties, according to a study by the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior.

transition,” Jakala said of the new rule.

Besides nutritional factors, the Edmonds district’s Wellness Committee based its decision on economics. Not all families can afford to send treats to school for a birthday celebration.

The school districts of

Everett, Snohomish and Mukilteo still allow sweets at classroom birthday parties.

The Monroe School District encourages parents to bring nutritious snacks, according to district spokeswoman Rosemary O’Neil. However, Monroe schools do not have

a formal policy banning sweets.

Jakala said the Edmonds district has received three complaints about the new policy.

One opponent is Richard Martinson of Edmonds, whose grown children attended the schools here.

He says that classroom birthday parties do not derail kids’ health and that some classroom parties might be the only celebration with friends a child might have.

“It’s a little bit of fun that makes school more bearable, and now it’s gone,” Martinson said.

Mosquito control heads off West Nile

M

osquitoes aren’t just a nuisance. They carry West Nile virus and other serious diseases.

The peak time for illness from West Nile virus occurs when mosquitoes are biting in summer or early fall. West Nile virus is contracted from the bite of an infected mosquito.

What is West Nile virus?

West Nile virus is a seasonal epidemic caused by bites from infected mosquitoes that flares in the U.S. every summer and fall, mostly from June through September. The infection has been reported in all states except Alaska and Hawaii. Seasonal outbreaks may vary in severity from year to year.

Typically, when a person acquires a West Nile virus infection, either no symptoms or a flu-like illness can occur.

About 80 percent of those infected have no symptoms.

The remaining people usually experience mild symptoms such as fever, headaches and body aches. But 1 in 150 people may develop a serious infection with fever, convulsions, coma, paralysis or even death. There are no medications to treat or vaccines to prevent West Nile virus.

How it’s spread: A mosquito bite can transmit the virus to humans. The mosquitoes become infected after feeding on birds carrying West Nile virus.

The virus isn’t transmitted directly from person to person through casual contact or kissing. Rare sources of infection include blood transfusions, organ transplants, breastfeeding and pregnancy (from mother to child). Blood transfusions are now screened in the U.S. for West Nile virus.

Avoiding infection: Are you ready to protect yourself and your family? Take these steps to prevent mosquito bites that can transmit West Nile virus: ■■Get rid of standing water where mosquitoes might breed. At least once or twice a week drain bird baths, fountains, animal troughs, flower pots, buckets, barrels, outside toys, plastic covers, and stagnant ponds or puddles.

Children’s wading pools should be emptied and stored on the side when not in use.

Drill holes in tire swings to let any water drain out.

■■Clean rain gutters and make sure they drain properly.

■■Wear long sleeves, long pants, socks and a hat outside when mosquito exposure is possible. Loose-fitting, lightcolored clothing is best.

■■Use an insect repellent containing DEET on exposed skin when you’re outdoors.

You can also spray it on clothing, but don’t apply it to skin covered by clothes. A product with 20 percent to 30 percent DEET is strong enough for most adults. Don’t use more than 10 percent in children younger than two years; always follow label directions carefully. An alternate repellent called permethrin can be See SMOOTS, Page B5

Randy Engel is making a name for himself by teaching older folks how to juggle.

The retired professor of organic chemistry is a regular instructor at Edmonds Senior Center.

Engel, 68, was faced years ago with the possibility of falling victim to a debilitating disease.

The prospect prompted him to start exercising.

It worked. He got better.

A teacher by nature, Engel was then inspired to earn his certification as a personal trainer with the American Council on Exercise.

As part of that training, he found out about the mental and physical benefits of learning to juggle, particularly for seniors.

Engel took on that challenge, as well, believing in the adage that people should never leave the playground.

Juggling fits right in with that philosophy, he said.

“It’s a fun, relaxing activity that helps with your coordination, your balance and so much more,” Engel said. “I’ve been delighted at the reception for this class. It’s so much fun for me, too.”

The current juggling class meets at 10 a.m. Thursdays, through July 3 at the Edmonds Senior Center, 220 Railroad Ave. Cost is $5 a class. Dropins are welcome.

For more information, call 425-774-5555 or go to www. edmondssc.org.

To learn more about Randy Engel and juggling, go to www. jugglingdogfitness.com.

His class is geared for those who have no circus experience.

Juggling starts out slow and steady, with students bouncing beach balls back and forth to each other.

People who participate can expect to see improved flexibility, greater upper body strength, reduced anxiety, improved memory and concentration.

And they get a nice little cardio workout to boot.

Liz Windgate, 72, of Edmonds is the former web developer for the senior center. She had a car accident several years ago that affected her balance.

said. “Juggling is much more challenging than a lot of other exercises for seniors.”

On Tuesday, Windgate had a great time.

“I have to overcome my fear of letting go of the ball,” Windgate said with a laugh.

Her partner for the morning, John Williams, 73, also of Edmonds, said he had tried juggling when he was young.

“This is great. I really have to concentrate,” said Williams, a

Yakking about [Topic] annoys pal

DAILY CROSSWORD

Dear Carolyn: Someone I’m very close to recently told me, “You know, you talk about [Topic] way too much.

It’s getting really boring.” [Topic] is something that’s very significant to me right now, and while I guess I knew I was talking about it a lot (to this person and others), it still really hurt me to hear that I’m boring others with it.

Now I’m self-conscious about ever mentioning [Topic], which is a lonely feeling. What do you think I should do to keep from hurting friendships by being overly focused on this one thing?

— Philadelphia Your very-close someone gets points off for tactlessness, but still did you a favor. Painful as it is, it’s better to know you’ve maxed out at least one person’s listening capacity than alienate others as you unwittingly prattle on about [Topic].

So, what to do next: (1) Hire someone to listen to you. Whatever [Topic] is, there’s someone out there with the expertise to help you. If you can’t afford that, then dig a little more. While alternatives to expensive/scarce professional guidance are inadequate to the need, there are people trying to improve access, be it through sliding-scale fees or group care or affiliation with a larger entity that can absorb some of the

CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT costs. Start looking for your safe place to unload. Talking about it beyond even one listener’s limits likely means it’s time to find a way to stop talking and start moving forward, whether it’s a persistent problem or a dramatic life change preoccupying you.

(2) Don’t banish [Topic] from all conversations, but be mindful of others’ limits, and, ideally, open about them: “I realize I’ve beaten [Topic] to death, but I have something I’d like to bounce off you. May I impose on you for 15 minutes?” And stick to the time limit you promised, unless the other person is plainly OK with running long.

(3) Avoid [Topic] around the person who spoke up. No point in looking for loopholes there.

Good luck making peace with [Topic], so it’s not always first in mind.

Bored, lonely teen should find a hobby Dear Abby: My 19-yearold sister died two years ago from an overdose. I’m 13. We were very close when we were little, but during the four years before she passed away, my parents didn’t want us around each other for fear of her rubbing off on me, and she wasn’t home half the time anyway. A year earlier she went to rehab, and I remember talking with her about how she was clean for good and then ...

It’s just so lonely! All my friends have sisters and brothers and I don’t, and I’m bored all the time. My parents work a lot, so I’m home alone at least three times a week, and although I’ve got friends and sports, I’m just really alone.

It’s awkward going out to dinner or going on vacation because my parents just want to sit and relax, and I want to go out and do things, but it’s embarrassing going everywhere with your parents. I miss having her around. — Alone In Ohio Dear Alone: Please accept my sympathy for the loss of your sister. You are still grieving, which is why you say you feel alone.

However, if you think about it, because of her addiction, she has been out of your life for longer than two years. It may be that what you’re really mourning is the relationship you MIGHT have had.

You say you have friends.

If you listen to them talk, you may find that they, too, sometimes feel alone even if they have siblings. Many teenagers have told me this.

‘NY Med’ producer sees impact of work

By David Bauder Associated Press

Two of the nurses who treated ABC News producer Terence Wrong when he was hospitalized for a minor ailment recently told him they traced their interest in medicine directly to his work.

That’s a profound point of pride, as well as extra assurance of attentive care.

Wrong has established a niche as the maker of rigorous nonfiction television series that go behind the scenes at institutions, more often than not hospitals, ever since his first series on Johns Hopkins Hospital aired in 2000.

The latest, “NY Med,” debuts at 10 p.m. Thursday. It contrasts stories from Manhattan’s New York-Presbyterian Hospital with gritty emergency room scenes from Newark, New Jersey’s University Hospital.

Five of the eight series Wrong has made for ABC were set in hospitals; his team has immersed itself

PRIME TIME

in the work at more than a dozen facilities. Each series takes at least four months of filming and up to a year of postproduction, so they rarely appear in back-to-back years. They’re watched closely by many in medicine — not just Wrong’s nurses.

“We always knew that one of the reasons the hospitals are willing to exhibit their warts and blemishes as well as the great things they do is that they see this series as a recruitment tool,” Wrong said.

“NY Med” has the mix of stories that will be familiar to fans, including remarkable footage of a man suffering a life-threatening aneurysm in front of Dr. Mehmet Oz. We see patients and their families live through delicate surgeries and gunshot victims in emergency rooms. A nurse is fired for breaking her workplace’s social media rules and, in a lighthearted moment, a patient is called out for flirting with several nurses simultaneously.

As a character, Dr. Ashley

‘Tyrant’ suffers from usual unsubtle FX treatment

By Verne Gay Newsday

Dr. Mehmet Oz works with a patient in the new season of “NY Med,” premiering at 10 p.m. Thursday on Channel 4.

Winter offers relief from the more intense stories of the first episode. A young, attractive urologist, she has to ask delicate questions of older men, as well as fend off guys seeking a date.

Her scenes drew some laughs at a recent screening. In one serious scene, Winter was worked over by an attending physician in surgery and holds her own under the pressure.

Like other doctors involved in the series, Winter said she had seen Wrong’s past work and it helped her trust him.

ABC

Dr. Philip Stieg, a neurosurgeon who removes a tumor from a patient’s spine in the opening episode, said he had a typical human concern about participating: He didn’t want cameras to catch him in a mistake. He was also put off by self-aggrandizement he’d seen in other doctors in Wrong’s shows, and he was noticeably low-key dealing with his patient on-air.

“I didn’t want to be viewed by my contemporaries as kind of a huckster,” he said.

Channel numbers are for Comcast. For other cable systems, see Sunday’s TV Week or go to www.heraldnet.com/tvchannels.

In this new drama, debuting at 10 tonight on FX, Bassam “Barry” AlFayeed (Adam Rayner) is a California pediatrician who is summoned to his nephew’s wedding in a Middle East nation torn by war — direct parallels to Syria. Reluctantly, he ends a two-decade selfimposed exile to return with his wife, Molly (Jennifer Finnigan), and two children, Sammy (Noah Silver) and Emma (Anne Winters). Barry quickly learns that his father is still very much the ironfisted ruler he left behind all those years ago and that his older brother and ruler-in-waiting, Jamal (Ashraf Barhom), is a corrupt, arrogant, self-entitled, Westernized psycho.

Think of “Tyrant” as a Mideast reimagining of “The Godfather,” with Jamal as a combo of Sonny and Fredo, and Barry as Michael: Just

(N) (s) (cc)

= = =

New Stereo Closed Captioned

when he thought he was out, they pulled him back in ...

But overlooking that cliche could be the least of viewers’ problems.

Content is the much bigger issue here. In the pilot, “Tyrant” at times comes perilously close to embracing derogatory media stereotypes of Arabs.

A lot of FX dramas have content problems — what a shame this latest drama from an especially gifted producer should be the one to so forcibly remind us of that all over again.

It’s also a shame because “Tyrant” — which is otherwise beautiful to look at — does have real-world parallels. Not only are those enormously tragic ones, but they are in the news, and “Tyrant” has an unusual chance to explore the Middle East conflict with a certain degree of sensitivity and intelligence.

With its premiere as guide, it won’t bother.

confirms that diets need to be individualized to our unique health needs and metabolism.

“Simply rub on this miracle diet cream and watch the pounds melt away!” You might watch the pounds melt away from your wallet but not from your body, says the FTC. Nothing we wear or apply to our skin can make us lose weight.

Yep, after all the years of research and inquiry, we now know what we knew before. There are few shortcuts to trimming off pounds. Serious weight loss requires serious pushing back from the table and increases in physical activity. That sounds about right.

It’s ‘super bananas’ to the rescue in fight against vitamin A deficiency

By Abby Phillip The Washington Post

In half of the world’s countries, vitamin A deficiency is a scourge that leaves disease and death in its wake.

Every year, it inflicts between 250,000 and 500,000 helpless and malnourished young people with early-life blindness. And in half of those cases, it also brings death, according to the World Health Organization. Vitamin A deficiency also puts pregnant women at risk.

It’s rare in developed countries, but the goal of completely eradicating vitamin A deficiency — mostly in Africa and Southeast Asia — remains unmet.

Scientists are now working to genetically engineer “super” bananas that are fortified with crucial alpha- and beta-carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A. “There is very good evidence that vitamin A deficiency leads to an impaired immune system and can even have an impact on brain development,” Queensland University professor James Dale said in a news release. “Good science can make a massive difference here by enriching staple crops such as Ugandan bananas with pro-vitamin A and providing poor and subsistence-farming populations with nutritionally rewarding food.”

Genetically engineered “super” bananas are fortified with crucial alpha- and beta-carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A. Some of the genetically modified cooking bananas are being sent to the United States for their first human trial; scientists aim to have them growing in Uganda by 2020.

The project is being backed by nearly $10 million from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

East African Highland bananas are usually chopped and steamed, but they have little in the way of nutrients — especially vitamin A, according to Dale.

On the outside, the genetically modified crops essentially look the same as other East African Highland bananas; but on the inside, the carotene enrichment gives them an orange hue.

Lab tests in gerbils have been successful, and Dale is confident in his science. But in order for the crops to be planted in Uganda, the country’s legislature has to approve a bill allowing genetically modified crops. It is currently in the committee phase.

Dale also believes that the technology can easily be replicated in other parts of Africa where different varieties of bananas or plantains are dietary staples.

“In West Africa farmers grow plantain bananas and the same technology could easily be transferred to that variety as well,” Dale said in his statement. “This project has the potential to have a huge positive impact on staple food products across much of Africa and in so doing lift the health and well-being of countless millions of people over generations.”

Meet Lake Stevens cookbook writer at event Herald Staff Lake Stevens author Jenny Keller has been called the “baker to the stars” and Tori Spelling will tell you Keller is a “true inspiration.”

Keller plans to talk about her new cookbook “Eat More Dessert” and sign copies of it at 7 p.m.

Thursday at University Bookstore, 5311 Main St., Mill Creek. The event is free. Word is that Keller might bring a sweet treat with her to share. The book costs about $25.

Available from Page Street Publishing, the cookbook includes recipes for more than 100 desserts that can be served at all sorts of

special gatherings.

More than just recipes, the book also is filled with tips, tricks and ideas for creating the perfect dessert table.

According to her publicist, Keller has baked since she was a preschooler.

Chocolate chip cookies evolved into the ability to make wedding cakes.

Her work has been featured in numerous bridal magazines and Spelling’s party planning book “CelebraTori.”

The new cookbook includes recipes for truffles, cupcakes, pudding cups, sundaes, strawberry shortcake in a jar and, yes, cakes.

Keller’s website is www. jennycookies.com.

Good Medicine?

Vancouver hires former Medicine Hat head coach Willie Desjardins to be its next head coach, C6

TUESDAY, 06.24.2014

Buckle up M’s fans, roller coaster ride not stopping any time soon

S

EATTLE — A running joke this season has been to refer to appearances by the Seattle Mariners’ new closer as The Fernando Rodney Experience, implying his save attempts are a wild ride that should probably require a ticket for admission, and perhaps a liability waiver.

Lately that joke hasn’t really been relevant because Rodney has been, well, kind of boring in his efficiency, not allowing a run in his past 10 save situations. But if unpredictability and inconstant results are your thing, fear not, even if Rodney isn’t toying with your blood pressure, you’ve still got the Mariners as a whole, a team that has been more or less impossible to figure out through the first three months of the season.

The 2014 Mariners are just good enough to make you think they’ve turned a corner and

JOHN BOYLE have a real shot at contention, but they’re also limited enough, especially on offense, that they’re capable of looking pretty awful over the course of a five-game losing streak. Of course inconsistent certainly beats what the Mariners have been for most of the past decade — just plain bad — but it can also be maddening for fans who one week think the Mariners are headed to the playoffs, and the next wonder if they’ll ever score another run.

The best I can offer is this: get

used to it. The Mariners have suffered through one eight-game losing streak and two five-gamers, yet they’ve also had two five-game winning streaks, one of which was part of a stretch of eight wins in nine games. And yes, one of the five-game losing streaks followed that eight-wins-in-nine-games stretch. After losing those five games at home earlier this month, the Mariners responded by winning six of eight on the road.

That the Mariners have had so many rough stretches is a testament to their limitations. Their offense beyond Robinson Cano has been up-and-down at best and anemic at worst. As good as Seattle’s pitching has been, it can’t always overcome a lineup full of struggling hitters. But the fact that the Mariners have responded so well to adversity time and time See BOYLE, Page C4

Long journey’s reward

Blaine Hardy, an Edmonds-Woodway grad, made his big league debut with Detroit last week after six seasons in the minors

By Rich Myhre

O

Hardy’s big week

Herald Writer

ne of the best conversations in Blaine Hardy’s life began with some bad news.

A left-handed pitcher for the Toledo Mud Hens of the Class AAA International League, Hardy was called into the office of manager Larry Parrish after a game 10 days ago. Parrish, Hardy and some other players had a golf game scheduled for the following Tuesday.

Straight-faced, Parrish told Hardy, “I’m sorry to tell you that you’re not going to be golfing on Tuesday.”

A pause, a little grin and then Parrish added, “You’re going to Detroit.”

With those words, a dream that began for Hardy as a boy growing up in Edmonds came true.

“Really, I was speechless,” said the 27-year-old Hardy, a 2007 graduate of Edmonds-Woodway High School. “And I couldn’t stop smiling.”

The next afternoon he was in a Detroit

Though he did not play — his first game appearance was the following day, when he pitched in relief — “it was definitely a memory I’ll always remember.”

Hardy’s journey to the major leagues has been long, difficult and at times disappointing. He was chosen in the 22nd round of the 2008 draft by Kansas City, and he spent the next five seasons working his way up through the Royals’ minor league system, only to be released during spring training of

2013. But Detroit officials called him a few days later, and he spent last season with the Tigers’ minor league teams in Toledo and Erie, Pa. Being released by the Royals “definitely hurt,” Hardy admitted. “You obviously want to make it up (to the majors) with the team that gave an opportunity in the first place.

But I knew I could still pitch, and it was also kind of nice to turn over a new leaf and start with a new team.”

This spring he was one of the last two players cut as Detroit got down to its 25-man roster for opening day. But he pitched well in Toledo — he was 3-2 in 20 games, including six starts, with 53 strikeouts in 47 innings pitched and a 2.68 ERA — and those statistics led to his recent promotion.

Though he did not pitch in his first game with the Tigers, the day was still very special. It was Father’s Day, and his dad Dave had traveled from Arizona, where he was staying, to Detroit in time for an afternoon game at Comerica Park.

After rebuilding the Cascade football team to a state power over the past two seasons, Joe Cronin resigned as the Bruins head coach last week, a little more than a week after his first child was born 11 weeks premature.

Cronin’s daughter, Kylie Cronin, was born on June 16, 80 days before her due date of Sept. 5. Kylie has been at the neonatal intensive care unit at the University of Washington since she was born, put- Cronin ting strain on Led Bruins the Cronin to first state family. Cronin berth since said Kylie is 2007 expected to be there until possibly late August.

“I knew with this situation it was going to be tough to be all in,” Cronin said Monday night after a long meeting with his former players. “We ask all of our kids to be all in and I couldn’t make that commitment.”

Everett School District athletic director Robert Polk said that Cascade assistant coach Eric Dinwiddie will serve as the interim head coach in Cronin’s absence for the 2014 season and that a search for a permanent head coach will begin in the fall.

In his first game as Cascade head coach, Cronin led the Bruins to a 20-12 win over Shorewood to break a 23-game losing streak. Cascade finished 5-5 in 2012 and then went 9-2 last season, beating AuburnRiverside in a quad-district playoff game to earn its first state berth since 2007. Cronin, who was named The Herald’s Coach of the Year in 2013, finishes with a record of 14-7 in his two seasons at the helm.

“Cascade High School and the Everett School District appreciate Joe’s leadership over the last two years,” Polk said.

“The culture of the Cascade football program and Cascade High School were significantly positively impacted by Joe and the athletes he coached.”

STORM | Update

TODAY’S GAME Seattle at Los Angeles 12:30 p.m., Staples Center TV: NBATV Radio: None

Scouting Report Fresh off Sunday’s win over Washington, the Storm (6-9) face a struggling Sparks team. With Sunday’s 72-69 loss to San Antonio, the Sparks (4-8) dropped into last place in the WNBA’s Western Conference.

The Sparks poor record is not indicative of the offensive talent on their roster. They have five players averaging double-figures scoring, shoot 45.5 percent from the field and are averaging 79.1 points per game.

So what’s the problem? Defense. The Sparks’ opponents are averaging 81.3 points per game and shooting 45.4 percent from the floor.

Despite the Sparks’ struggles on the defensive end, it’s hard to underestimate them. Center Candace Parker, in her seventh season, remains one of league’s most dominant players. She averages 20.3 points and 7.3 rebounds per game. Team Parker with Nneka Ogwumike’s 12.8 points and 7.4 rebounds and Jantel Lavender’s 10.8 points and 5.9 rebounds per game and Los Angeles has one of the most formidable front lines in the league.

The Storm and Sparks met in Seattle’s season opener on May 16 at KeyArena, with the Storm falling 80-69. Parker and Lavender combined to score 28 points and shoot 12-for-18 from the field.

Solo pleads not guilty Court documents describe wild fracas involving soccer star, nephew and half-sister — and a gun

By Christine Clarridge The Seattle Times

SEATTLE — Soccer star Hope Solo pleaded not guilty to domestic violence charges Monday afternoon in Kirkland Municipal Court.

City prosecutors asked for a bail of $5,000 and no-contact order between Solo and the alleged victims, but Judge Michael J. Lambo allowed Solo to be released on her own recognizance after her attorney, Todd Maybrown, argued that she had no prior arrests and was not a flight risk.

The judge also ordered Solo to not consume alcohol as a condition of her release.

A pretrial hearing is scheduled for Aug. 11.

Among those seated in court was Jerramy Stevens, Solo’s husband and a former NFL player.

Charging documents say that Solo was arrested after police responded to a 911 call about a disturbance. The male caller reported that a woman at the residence was

hitting people and no one could get her to stop or leave the house, according to police.

Officers arrived and immediately heard the disturbance inside. They entered the house and contacted several people, including Solo, who officers said appeared intoxicated and upset.

Solo’s 17-year-old nephew told police his mother — Solo’s older half-sister — had just started letting Solo back into their lives, according to the affidavit of probable cause.

Police said the teen’s T-shirt was torn and he had scratch marks on his arms and a bleeding cut on his ear.

The boy said Solo came to the family gathering “upset about the fact that her husband refused to take her to catch a flight because he was being a jerk,” according to court documents. The teen told police Solo appeared to have been drinking when she arrived and that Solo and his mother continued to drink wine after other relatives began leaving, the

Andy Murray opens Wimbledon with win Associated Press LONDON — Andy Murray came onto Centre Court to a standing ovation and walked off to another as he began his Wimbledon title defense Monday with a straight-set victory against David Goffin.

In keeping with tradition, Murray had the honor of playing the opening match on Centre Court as the defending men’s champion — and he looked right at home in beating the 105th-ranked Belgian 6-1, 6-4, 7-5.

Murray broke Goffin four times, saved the only two break points against him and sealed the contest with an ace, his eighth of the match. It was Murray’s 450th tourlevel match win.

Last year, Murray became the first British man to win Wimbledon in 77 years. Now he’s bidding to become the first to retain the title since Fred Perry in 1936.

Murray received a huge ovation when he strode onto the court where he beat Novak Djokovic in last year’s final, soaking in the applause and giving a wave to the crowd — including those fans who queued up for tickets overnight for the rare chance to see a reigning British champion.

“It was nice,” Murray said. “I was nervous this morning, nervous yesterday. Walking through brings back a lot of good memories. I got a nice round of applause and once you sit down in a chair it’s time to get ready for this year and move on from last year.”

Among those in the Royal Box for the occasion were Murray’s father and grandparents and retired NBA star Shaquille O’Neal, dressed in suit and tie.

Murray was on top of his game from the outset, sailing through the first set in 29 minutes, and closing out the second with an ace. Goffin, who stands 5-foot-11 (1.80 meters) with a slight build, was overpowered for the first two sets but raised his level in the third and pushed Murray hard.

court document says.

According to the court document, the teen said he was talking about theatrical productions he’s been in and explaining how he believes that a good actor has to have an “athletic state of mind” when Solo allegedly told him he would never be athletic because he was “too fat and overweight and crazy to ever be an athlete.”

The two eventually got into a fist fight, the document says.

When the boy’s mother tried to pull Solo off her son, Solo punched her in the face, according to court documents.

Court documents also say the mother broke a broom over Solo’s head and the teen pointed an “old gun that did not work” at Solo to try to get her to leave, but she would not leave and kept “circling like a shark.”

Solo, 32, was arrested and booked into the South King County detention facility on two counts of investigation of fourthdegree domestic-violence assault.

KEIZER, Ore. — The Everett AquaSox found themselves stymied Monday night, falling 7-1 to the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes.

Everett struggled to get anything going offensively as the Sox were limited to just six hits by four Volcanoes pitchers.

On the other side, SalemKeizer’s Will Callaway had a big day, going 4-for-4 with a pair of doubles and three RBI as the Volcanoes (5-6) took a 2-1 lead in the five-game Northwest League series.

Austin Cousino went 2-for-4 to lead Everett (3-8).

The Sox had no answer for Salem-Keizer starting pitcher Andrew Leenhouts. Leenhouts tossed six scoreless innings, allowing just two singles and not allowing a runner past second base. He struck out six.

Everett pitcher Jefferson Medina struggled in his first start since joining the team from Pulaski of the rookie Appalachian League. The right-hander allowed four runs — two earned — on six hits and two walks in four innings. He struck out four.

Salem-Keizer opened the scoring with an unearned run in the bottom of the first inning. Callaway’s two-out, bases-loaded infield single scored Travious Relaford — who reached on an error by Sox first baseman Kyle Petty — from third, giving the Volcanoes a 1-0 lead.

Salem-Keizer then broke things open in the fifth.

The first three batters of the inning reached base to chase Jefferson. Then against reliever Cruz Pereira, Callaway doubled to left to drive home two runs, Leonardo Fuentes hit a sacrifice fly to right to bring home another run, and Fernando Pujadas singled to left to score another, increasing the Volcanoes lead to 5-0.

Everett finally got on the board after Leenhouts departed, scoring a run in the seventh courtesy of Brett Thomas’s RBI double to leftcenter. However, the Sox left the bases loaded and still trailed 5-1.

Then the Volcanoes countered in the bottom of the seventh. Callaway scored from third on a wild pitch, then Tyler Hollick’s single drove him a second, making it 7-1.

Breaking down today’s games

By Don Ruiz The News Tribune

TUKWILA — Seattle Sounders FC career goals leader Fredy Montero will be in the stands at Starfire Sports Stadium today watching his former team face the San Jose Earthquakes in the U.S. Open Cup. After visiting the Sounders’ training session Monday, Montero said he hopes to rejoin the club as a player someday.

“That’s one of my dreams now,” he said. “I hope to be back playing for the Sounders.”

Montero played in his native Colombia before joining the Sounders in their 2009 expansion season. Over four seasons, he became Seattle’s career leader with 47 goals, including a career-high 13 in 2012. He also shares the club’s assist record with 34, and ranks among the leaders in several other categories.

However, in January 2013, he was loaned to Millonarios of Columbia and then loaned to Sporting Portugal, which signed him to a contract reported to run through 2018.

During this European offseason, Montero returned to the Northwest, where his wife’s family resides.

“This is my second home, and I’m always happy to come here — always,” he said. “I feel like I have to go say hi to my old teammates, too.”

Montero said he continues to follow those teammates from afar.

“I know that they can still win the Open Cup this year,” he said. “Or they can still play for the first position (in Major League Soccer) and hopefully this year they win the Supporters Shield. Last year they had it close. I always hope for the team getting victories and happy for them because they are doing that right now.”

Montero said he will return to Europe before the Sounders resume league play Saturday at D.C. United. But he is taking advantage of his chance to watch them Tuesday as they meet the Earthquakes in the fifth-round of the Open Cup — which the club won in 2009, 2010 and 2011 with Montero on the roster.

Sounders coach Sigi Schmid said he expects Montero to see a high-quality game. Schmid indicated that he will go with more of his regular starters than he did last week when Seattle routed amateur side PSA Elite of California.

He predicted a top-quality roster from the Quakes as well.

“I expect pretty much a firstteam effort for them because the league hasn’t gone as well as they would have liked so far — where they’re at and their position,” Schmid said. “So the Open Cup becomes a source of pride, I think. If a team’s not doing as well, they put a little more stock into that.”

The winner of this match will advance to the Open Cup quarterfinal round, meeting the winner of today’s match between Sporting Kansas City and the Portland Timbers.

Added time The Sounders reported “a limited amount” of tickets for the Open Cup match remained available as of Monday afternoon. … Seattle’s home match against the Los Angeles Galaxy originally scheduled for July 26 has been moved to 7 p.m.

July 28 at CenturyLink Field to accommodate national television and “community-wide events,” including Seafair. The game will be shown on ESPN2.

Brazil’s Neymar celebrates his second goal during the group A World Cup soccer match between Cameroon and Brazil at the Estadio Nacional in Brasilia, Brazil on Monday.

Neymar, Brazil finish Brazil beats Cameroon, heads to next round along with Chile, Mexico and the Netherlands Associated Press RIO DE JANEIRO — Brazil relied on its star Neymar for two early goals to beat Cameroon 4-1 Monday and reach the World Cup’s knockout stage for a South American showdown against Chile, a 2-0 loser to the Netherlands.

Winning Group B with its third straight victory made sure that the Dutch avoided the host so early in the tournament.

Instead, the Netherlands will face Mexico, which beat Croatia 3-1 to advance alongside Brazil from Group A. Spain beat Australia 3-0 in an inconsequential game between already eliminated teams, a victory providing a little balm on the disappointing defense of its title.

With free-flowing games and buckets full of goals the rule in this outstanding tournament, it took until the final minutes of the Group A games for Brazil to make sure it advanced as group leader on goal difference over Mexico.

“We are progressing match after match and that’s important,” Brazil coach Luiz Felipe Scolari said.

Both finished with seven points, with Croatia eliminated with three points, while Cameroon finished with three losses.

Brazil finished first because it had a better goal differential than Mexico, plus 5 to plus 3.

The Netherlands was the first perfect team to advance, finishing ahead of Chile in Group B. Spain had three points with Monday’s win, and Australia had three losses.

Beyond the statistics, it again was Neymar who fully lived up to expectations of the 200 million football fans in Brazil with flair and lethal finishing, making the difference with first-half strikes against an African opponent that fought hard for one half before succumbing.

Neymar used an array of spin moves and delicate touches to get by players, delighting the crowd in Brasilia — including Britain’s Prince Harry.

“I have the responsibility,” said Neymar, and at 22, he is living up to it every single time he takes to the pitch. It seems half the Brazil jerseys from the beaches of Copacabana to gaucho towns in the interior carry his name, and with good reason.

Neymar has four goals from three games to lead the top scorer’s standings, edging a group of

Japan vs. Colombia Colombia wins the group with a draw — and, given its big lead in goal differential, probably wins it with a loss as well. Japan has a much narrower path to the knockout stage, needing a win here and a narrow victory by Greece over Ivory Coast. Japan must change something offensively after scoring just one goal so far — in the 16th minute of its opener, meaning it has been shut out for the last 164 minutes of regulation time.

Greece vs. Ivory Coast Greece hasn’t scored in this World Cup. But after holding Japan scoreless with 10 men to earn a draw in its second game, Greece does have a point and that gives it some hope.

But advancing won’t be easy. Greece needs a win over Ivory Coast and a Japanese loss or draw against Colombia. Ivory Coast, meanwhile, all but assures itself a place in the second round with a draw. The country’s soccer federation said it will double the players’ World Cup bonus if the team beats Greece, which will be without midfielder Kostas Katsouranis after he was red-carded in the 38th minute of the Japan game.

Round of 16 Brazil vs. Chile Saturday, June 28, 9 a.m.

Netherlands vs. Mexico Sunday, June 29, 9 a.m. five players with three goals.

Much like the opener, Neymar carried the weight for his team, scoring the first with a subtle inside-foot flick while adding a second with a darting run before wrong-footing the Cameroon goalie with a right-foot drive.

The oft-criticized Fred may have kept himself in the starting lineup with a header just after halftime. Substitute Fernandinho closed out the scoring for Brazil.

With everything to play for, Mexico came through with three goals in a 10-minute spurt of excitement late in the game against Croatia.

So often in this tournament, goals deep in the second half have made the difference, and Monday was no exception.

The Dutch scored twice in the last 13 minutes against Chile to finish the group stage with three straight wins. Quite a turnaround for a team thought to be on the wane with aging stars like Arjen Robben.

Yet the Dutch have scored 10 goals in three victories. Now, only the foolhardy would relish the prospect of facing the orange-clad team.

“We wanted to be first in the group. Now we will see what is coming at us,” said Robben, who added an assist against Chile to the three goals he scored in

earlier games.

Leroy Fer scored a minute after going on as a substitute to get the Netherlands ahead in the 77th minute. Then, when some other players had already gone down with cramps, Robben launched into another of his trademark sprints across the pitch and passed perfectly to Memphis Depay for the tap-in that put the game away.

While Robben is going strong after hitting his thirties, age caught up with the Spanish stars this tournament, particularly in their 5-1 opening loss to the Netherlands.

They regained a little pride Monday. In a game of goodbyes, David Villa marked his final appearance for Spain with a record 59th goal for the national team.

“It’s sad because we would have liked to have spent more time here, but that’s how it is,” Villa said.

Fernando Torres, who set off Spain’s rise by scoring the winner in the 2008 European championship final, also scored.

Juan Mata added the third.

Spain also won the 2010 World Cup and repeated as European champs in 2012.

At least Spain avoided finishing last in its group.

Uruguay, the semifinalist of 2010, could be facing elimination on Tuesday, but after Luis Suarez returned from injury and scored both goals against England, there is no counting out the former champion.

Suarez shrugged off any lingering concerns about his surgically repaired left knee and said he was in “perfect shape” to face Italy.

GROUP D Italy vs. Uruguay Uruguay and Italy enter their groupplay finale tied for second in the table but facing different challenges to reach the second round. Thanks to a superior goal differential, Italy can advance with a win or a draw; for Uruguay, nothing short of victory will do. Italy probably will be without defensive midfielder Daniele De Rossi but is hoping to get back midfielder Marco Verratti and left back Mattia De Sciglio. The teams met here last summer in the thirdplace game of the Confederations Cup with Italy winning in a penalty shootout.

Costa Rica vs. England Costa Rica is going on and England is going home. But England doesn’t want to leave without a point, something it has never done in a World Cup. Costa Rica, meanwhile, is playing for position. With a tie, it wins the group and will be matched with the Group C runner-up — likely Ivory Coast — in the knockout stage.

again is just as significant; a sign that manager Lloyd McClendon has gotten through to his young team and helped them realize that a 162-game season won’t be defined by any series or even a five-game winning or losing streak.

“Listen, you can’t play this game on emotions,” McClendon said. “When you play a 162-games schedule, you can’t get caught up in one series or one loss or five losses.

You just can’t. You have to be very workman like and very methodical about how you go about your business, and once that day is over with, turn the page and get ready for the next one. I know it sounds like an old cliché, but it is what it is. (The sweep in) Kansas City is nice, but we’ve got to get ready for Boston tonight.”

McClendon understands that he’ll be defined not by what the Mariners did Monday night or in this series, but by what they do at the end of the season, and so far, it’s hard to argue with the results.

The Mariners are flawed, they’ve suffered injuries, yet they came into this home stand four games over .500 and tied for the second Wild Card spot in the American League.

For Mariners fans, the roller coaster of this season may be hard to stomach, but it’s not likely to end soon.

“Honestly I don’t think we really even notice it,” said shortstop Brad Miller. “It comes a lot from Mac. If we lose a couple of tough games — in San Diego we had two one-run games we were in against two pretty good pitchers — we lost ’em, but it didn’t faze us.

If it did faze us, we would have let it carry over to Kansas City, but we didn’t. I think that speaks to more to anything that we look at it as, ‘Hey, we can lose a couple of game, but that’s fine, we’ll keep fighting and keep rolling with it.’ It’s a long year. I think that starts at the top with Mac.” And on the individual level, Miller is the perfect example of how

Hardy From Page C1

Interviewed in the stands by a Fox Sports reporter, Dave Hardy called it “the ultimate Father’s Day present. …

I’m very proud of Blaine.

He’s worked very hard for a long, long time and he deserves it.”

Dave Hardy was there the next day, too, when his son worked two scoreless innings in an 11-8 victory over Kansas City.

“He’s stuck with me through thick and thin,” Blaine Hardy said of his father. “He loves his baseball. He used to always take me to Mariners games. …

I’m not sure how he made it (to Detroit) as quick as he did, but the fact that he was able to make it out for my big league debut and my first appearance was an awesome experience.”

Hardy has since worked in three more games and has totaled five innings pitched with just one hit, two walks, four strikeouts and still no runs.

“Obviously making it to the big leagues (for the first time), you want to have success,” he said. “But I really wasn’t thinking, ‘Hey, I’ve got to do well, this might be my only shot.’

I was more thinking, ‘This is a hell of an opportunity, I’ve made it to the big leagues, congratulations, it’s going to be awesome.’ ” As he pitched in his debut against the Royals

McClendon’s patience has worked its way down to players. In late May, Miller was hitting .151, and many, many people were calling for a demotion. McClendon still had faith in his shortstop — and let’s face it, he also didn’t have a good viable alternative — and slowly but surely, Miller has gone from lineup liability to productive hitter. Miller was hitting .324 over his past 22 games heading into Monday, raising his average 56 points in a little over three weeks.

“To me the biggest thing was his trust in me and his faith in me,” Miller said. “The different things he’s said to me over the season that I’ve taken to heart has helped put me where I am right now, no question.”

On the multiple occasions when the Mariners have struggled this year, McClendon has joked that “the sky is falling” or that the sun still came up on that particular day. He knows as well as anyone that his team isn’t perfect, that it will inevitably go through a down stretch again at some point, but the way his team has answered the bell after those losing streaks so far bodes well for the team’s future.

“He’s never panicked this year, never done anything even when we were losing eight straight,” said outfielder Dustin Ackley.

“He has always had confidence in us and he knows what we’re capable of doing, and I think that’s why we’ve had success the last couple of weeks, because we’ve had faith in ourselves and him.”

If the past three months have told us anything about the Mariners — other than that they’re capable of staying relevant well into summer — it’s that they’re just good enough to make you believe, and just flawed enough to go through some pretty rough stretches. McClendon would tell you not to get caught up in the ups and down, but getting caught up in emotions is what being a fan is all about.

So instead, buckle up and enjoy the ride. It could get bumpy, but it also has the potential to be pretty fun.

Herald Writer John Boyle: jboyle@heraldnet.com.

— ironically, his previous organization — “I was just telling myself, ‘This is the same game, and if you make pitches you’re going to have success.’ … The key is throwing strikes and that’s always been my strong suit. If I keep throwing strikes, hopefully good things will keep happening.”

As a boy, Hardy remembers going with his father to watch the Mariners play, first at the Kingdome and later at Safeco Field. “And that was probably when I decided I’d like to see how far I could take a baseball career,” he said.

Unfortunately, the Tigers made their only Seattle visit of 2014 earlier this month, so Hardy will have to wait until next season to play in front of other family and friends.

“I can’t wait until that day comes when I can pitch in the same stadium where I used to watch Ken Griffey Jr. and some of those greats for the Mariners,” he said.

And in the meantime, he will savor the realization of his long-awaited baseball dream.

“It was always my No. 1 goal to make it to the big leagues,” Hardy said. “It’s such an awesome experience to be able to be in these stadiums and to play against the best of the best.

It’s astounding how much fun the big leagues are.

“I had fun in the minor leagues, don’t get me wrong. But this experience is 10 times more amazing for me.”

SEATTLE — With prom and other high school obligations out of the way, Alex Jackson stepped into the batter’s box at Safeco Field on Monday after Mariners’ second baseman Robinson Cano.

This, suddenly, is the 18-yearold’s world after Seattle made him the sixth overall pick and paid a reported $4.2 million bonus to sign him.

Jackson, a right-handed power hitter out of San Diego, was officially signed Monday before taking batting practice in the place he hopes to be. He played catcher in high school, but will be an outfielder for the Mariners.

Jackson will report to the rookielevel Arizona League Mariners in Peoria, Arizona on today.

“It’s been unbelievable,” Jackson said of the process.

With his family in the back row at a press conference, general manager Jack Zduriencik and scouting director Tom McNamara to his right, and his advisor Scott Boras to his left, the repeated term from Mariners’ management when referring to Jackson was “power.”

“This kid has a very unique skill set,” Zduriencik said.

CLEVELAND INDIANS

Vandy beats Virginia 9-8 in Game 1 of CWS finals OMAHA, Neb. — Vanderbilt capitalized on Virginia starter Nathan Kirby’s sudden loss of control to score nine runs in the third inning, then held off the Cavaliers to win 9-8 in Game 1 of the College World Series finals Monday night.

The Commodores (50-20) can win their first national championship in a men’s sport with a win tonight.

Tyler Campbell continued his improbable breakout for the Commodores, doubling twice in the third inning. His second double came off reliever Whit Mayberry with the bases loaded to put Vanderbilt up 9-2.

But Virginia (52-15) chipped away, scoring three runs in the third, two in the fifth and another in the eighth to make it a one-run game.

Adam Ravenelle came on in the ninth to get the last three outs for his second save of the CWS. It was the highest-scoring CWS game at TD Ameritrade Park, which opened in 2011, and the most runs allowed

by Virginia since an 11-6 loss to Mississippi State in super regionals last year.

Jared Miller (7-2) got the win for two innings of relief of Walker Buehler. Kirby (9-3) took the loss after his shortest outing of the season.

NEW YORK YANKEES

the game by scoring four more runs in the fourth and another run in the fifth. That provided Felix Hernandez with a six-run lead on a King’s Court Night.

Yep, game over — long before they struck for four more runs in the seventh. Hernandez (9-2) held the Red Sox to two runs and six hits in seven innings before Dominic Leone and Tom Wilhelmsen closed out the victory.

Hernandez set a club record by yielding two or fewer runs for an eighth straight start lasting at least seven innings.

The rout enabled manager Lloyd McClendon to resist any temptation to use closer Fernando Rodney for a fifth straight day. Rodney closed out three tight victories in a weekend sweep at Kansas City.

The Mariners have won four in a row and, at 41-36, are back to a season-best five games

over .500. The finished with 14 hits and batted around in their six-run fourth and a four-run seventh.

The last time the Mariners batted around twice in a game was May 30, 2012 in a 21-8 victory at Texas. The 12 runs matched a season high; the Mariners also hit one dozen on May 12 in a 12-5 victory over Tampa Bay. Morrison had the first multihomer game of his career and finished with four hits and four RBIs. Kyle Seager had three hits and two RBIs. Endy Chavez capped the big fourth with a three-run triple. And lots more.

Lackey (8-5) gave up seven runs and seven hits in 3⅔ innings. The Mariners also roughed up reliever Chris Capuano for five runs in 2⅓ innings.

But it all turned with Ackley’s at-bat.

Boston opened the scoring on David Ortiz’s RBI single in the first before Morrison tied it in the second with the first of his two homers. Mike Napoli’s

one-out homer in the fourth put the Red Sox back on top.

Napoli’s homer was also the first allowed by Hernandez in 12 starts covering 83 innings — since Houston’s Matt Dominguez went deep in the fifth inning on April 21.

So ended the longest homerless streak in Hernandez’s career.

The Mariners answered immediately … with six runs.

Robinson Cano sliced a oneout double that hopped the left-field wall later in the inning and scored on Seager’s line single to right. Seager raced to third when Morrison beat an overshifted infield for a single to right.

Seager turned second and raced shortstop Stephen Drew for third; right fielder Brock Holt had little choice but to run the ball back to the infield. A walk to Mike Zunino loaded the bases.

Ackley then battled through 13 pitches before his fielder’schoice grounder scored Seager with the go-ahead run. And it was all Mariners after that.

This photo from 2009 shows Canadian national junior team coach Willie Desjardins giving instructions during a practice in Regina, Saskatchewan. The NHL’s Vancouver Canucks hired Desjardins as their head coach on Monday.

long-term success,” general manager Jim Benning said in a statement.

“Willie is a great teacher, motivator and communicator. His teams have

competed with a style of play we believe will help us compete in our division and in the playoffs.”

Tortorella coached Vancouver for just one year.

Dominik Hasek, Mike Modano, Peter Forsberg and Rob Blake started playing hockey in four different countries.

They will enter the Hockey Hall of Fame together.

“This tells me that our game is growing, our game is growing worldwide,” John Davidson, chairman of the Hockey Hall of Fame selection committee, said Monday. “When we have a class like this coming into the hall, I think that says a lot about our game and how worldwide it is.”

The four players will be inducted Nov. 17 in Toronto along with former referee Bill McCreary and the late Pat Burns, who will be enshrined posthumously as a coach in the builder category.

Hasek, who was known as “the Dominator,” won the Vezina Trophy as the NHL’s top goaltender six

times, tying Bill Durnan’s total and trailing Jacques Plante’s record by one. He won two Hart Trophies as league MVP in 1997 and 1998 with the Buffalo Sabres, becoming the first to win the award from his position since Plante in 1962.

Hasek also helped the Czech Republic win gold at the 1998 Olympics — the first with NHL players.

A few years later, the Sabres traded him to Detroit, where he helped the Red Wings hoist the Stanley Cup in 2002. Hasek becomes the seventh player from that Detroit team to be elected to the Hall of Fame as a player and it was led by Hall of Fame coach Scotty Bowman. Hasek was a backup in 2008 when Detroit won another championship.

Modano ended his career with his home-state Red Wings after leaving Michigan to play in Canada at the age of 15, a move that seemed to pay off. He finished with NHL

He and Canucks president and general manager Mike Gillis were dismissed at the end of the season.

Desjardins, 57, spent two years with Texas, winning the AHL’s coach-of-theyear award in 2012-13 when he led the Stars to their first South Division regular-season title.

He also was coach (2002-2010) and general manager (2005-2010) of the Western Hockey League’s Medicine Hat Tigers. He led the Tigers to two Memorial Cup tournaments, including the 2007 final.

Desjardins was the WHL coach of the year for the 2005-06 season. He was honored as the top coach in the Canadian Hockey League in 2006.

He was on Canada’s staff at two world junior

tournaments and one world championship. He also coached the University of Calgary and in Japan.

Coyotes changing name GLENDALE, Ariz. —The Phoenix Coyotes are about to become the Arizona Coyotes.

The name change will coincide with the NHL draft on Friday, when the Coyotes will pick 12th overall.

The franchise has been known as the Phoenix Coyotes since it relocated from Winnipeg in 1996, but the new ownership group wanted the name to be all-inclusive for the state of Arizona.

IceArizona purchased the team last summer after it had been operated by the NHL for four years.

The Coyotes’ uniforms have a new shoulder patch and the lettering in the team logo will change for the 2014-15 season.

Canucks hire former Medicine Hat coach VANCOUVER, British Columbia — The NHL’s Vancouver Canucks hired Willie Desjardins as their head coach Monday. He succeeds the fired John Tortorella after a season in which the Canucks missed the playoffs for the first time since 2008.

This is Desjardins’ first NHL head-coaching job.

He was an assistant with the Dallas Stars from 2010 to 2012 and most recently led the American Hockey League’s Texas Stars to a Calder Cup title. Desjardins is the 18th head coach in Canucks history.

“Willie Desjardins has won at every level and we believe he’ll be an excellent fit as we strive to return to the playoffs and build with youth for

records for American-born players — 561 goals and 1,374 points — and helped the Dallas Stars win the Cup in 1999 against the Hasekled Sabres. Modano was drafted No. 1 overall in 1988 by the Minnesota North Stars after playing juniors with the Prince Albert Raiders in the Western Hockey League.

Canada was home for Blake, who was born in Simcoe, Ontario. He helped his country win gold at the 2002 Olympics, earning a place in the Triple Gold Club that includes only players with a Stanley Cup, Olympic and world gold medals.

Blake won an NHL title with the Colorado Avalanche in 2001 after winning one Norris Trophy as the league’s top defenseman in 1998 while playing for the Los Angeles Kings.

Forsberg, a smooth-skating, slick-shooting Swede, is also in the Triple Gold Club. He won two

championships in Colorado and helped Sweden win gold at the 2006 Olympics. Philadelphia drafted Forsberg with the No. 6 overall pick in 1991 and traded him to Quebec a year later in a deal for Eric Lindros, and he played one season for the Nordiques before the franchise moved to Colorado.

Burns, who coached the New Jersey Devils to the 2003 Stanley Cup title, died of cancer in 2010 at age 58.

The police officer-turned-hockey coach won the Adams Trophy as the NHL’s top coach with three teams: Toronto, Montreal and Boston.

“It’s a very emotional day for the Burns family, I can tell you that, and I think it’s a great day,” his wife, Lynn, said.

McCreary was an official for nearly 2,000 games, including 282 playoff games, from 1984 until he worked his last game on April 2, 2011.

Source: Spurs’ star to return next season Associated Press Tim Duncan could have gone out on top, with his fifth NBA championship trophy under his arm and his health intact just a few months after his 38th birthday.

There’s just no way. Duncan is having too much fun with his San Antonio Spurs coaches and teammates, and he’s playing too well to call it quits now.

Duncan has decided to exercise the option on his contract and will return next season, a person with knowledge of the decision told The Associated Press on Monday. The person requested anonymity because an official announcement has not been made.

As the Spurs beat the twotime defending champion Miami Heat in the NBA Finals earlier this month, Duncan was asked several times about his future, as he has been for the past five or six years. He was noncommittal, saying he would take some time after the season to mull his decision.

But after Game 5, most of the Spurs said they expected the group to return and now Duncan has reached his decision, which was first reported by Yahoo! Sports.

He will make about $10.3 million next season in the final year of a two-year agreement that was drawn up specifically to allow the Spurs the financial flexibility to surround Duncan with top-shelf talent.

“He feels a responsibility to his teammates,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said after the team won the championship. “He enjoys them.

He wants to hang around as long as he can while he’s useful and while he’s having an impact on the game.”
