Two jobs raise questions Some wonder about conflicts between Marko Liias’ roles as a state senator and a policy analyst for Mukilteo.

By Sharon Salyer Herald Writer

MUKILTEO — Marko Liias has two jobs. One is state senator.

Another is policy analyst for the

city of Mukilteo, where he works with his longtime friend and the city’s mayor, Jennifer Gregerson.

Questions about his dual jobs have swirled since Liias was selected for the city job in May.

His hiring is scheduled to be discussed again at Monday’s City Council meeting, which begins at 7 p.m.

Some residents and council members wonder about potential conflicts between Liias’ city and state government jobs. His role as a state senator from the 21st District will require him to

leave his city post for about three months a year to represent the Mukilteo area in Olympia.

City Council President Randy Lord said he told the mayor last month that he would give her 30 days to consider her options, See LIIAS, back page, this section

Arlington’s updated city codes give police more authority to deal with cases of panhandling, illegal camping and drug use.

Librarian transforms school bus to deliver books to kids in need

By Kari Bray Herald Writer

ARLINGTON — A citywide crackdown on illegal camping, panhandling and drug crimes has kicked off in Arlington with updated city codes and plans for a new satellite police station in Smokey Point.

The new police station is expected to be operating within 30 days, Arlington Public Safety Director Bruce Stedman said.

The city is still pinning down a location.

Stedman plans to have some of Arlington’s 27 officers work from the Smokey Point station. This would give police a stronger presence in an area where business owners are worried about crime and the homeless, Stedman said.

Smokey Point is one of three areas in the city where problems have been particularly prevalent, city administrator Kristin Banfield said. The others are Haller Park and Twin Rivers Park.

Newly approved city codes give police more authority to address panhandling and illegal camping, activities often associated with drug use, Stedman said.

The Arlington City Council unanimously approved the code changes July 7.

The new language makes it illegal to ask for money, food or anything else within 300 feet of an intersection, park, school zone, day care, nursing home, bank, parking lot, bus stop, or highway on or off ramp. It also prohibits begging on a bus; within 25 feet of an occupied handicapped parking space; or within one foot of another person.

Unless a private property owner gives permission, camping or keeping things on someone else’s property is also prohibited.

People can be fined up to $1,000 or sentenced to 90 days in jail for violating the new regulations.

The city still aims to provide resources to people who are homeless, Banfield said. Arlington works with United Way and the state Department of Social and Health Services.

SNOHOMISH — She’s a school librarian turned bus driver.

Jenny Granger is delivering books to kids around Snohomish to beat the “summer slide.”

Between tests in June and September, there’s a general drop in students’ scores. Granger says a big factor is the fact kids don’t read as much during the summer.

“We can complain about it or we can do something about it,” said Granger, a teacher and librarian at Snohomish’s Emerson Elementary.

She has turned an old yellow school bus into a roving bookmobile. Now she’s spending her summer break bringing the library to kids in trailer parks and to places with activities for children.

Kids look through shelves of books inside the Snohomish Book Cafe, a converted school bus, on Tuesday during one of its weekly stops at the Snohomish Boys & Girls Club.

The kids can take as many titles as they can read in a week. They can hold onto the books or bring them back.

“If they love them, keep them,” Granger said. “The commitment is to read them.”

Inside the bus, the books are shelved in wooden boxes similar to those in a

its cover but kids are very graphic,” Granger said.

She made the bus look cartoonish with a set of hot pink eyelashes over the headlights.

Granger volunteers her time for the bookmobile.

The school district allowed her to use the bus, which was about to be surplused.

Snohomish Education Foundation gave her $5,000 to retrofit the bus, buy supplies and pay for gas. People around town have also pitched in thousands of books.

“This whole thing was Jenny’s vision,” said Kristin Foley, a spokeswoman for the district. “It’s been her passion and her dream.”

Granger started trying to get students to read more over the summer three years ago. She opened the library for a few hours each week during the break.

“It was great for the kids who came, but they weren’t the ones we were worried about,” Granger said.

Last year, she tried the traveling approach in a red van from the 1970s. But more volunteer labor was needed to lug tubs of books in and out at each stop.

“We sweated and died in the heat,” Granger said.

“There had to be a better way. It’s a little crazy that this is what I’m doing with my day off.”

While the food program goes to areas determined by the federal government, the bookmobile could include more stops in the future.

“It doesn’t matter where you live. Some families just don’t read,” said Misha Dacy, a librarian at Seattle Hill Elementary.

Granger’s next mission is to have ebooks available. She has a plan in the works that will allow kids to download to their devices from inside the bus. She’s not sure when the technology will arrive but she is expecting it soon.

“It’s an awkward conversation because people say if kids can’t afford books then why do they have devices,” she said. “Well, the reality is they do.”

The bus started making its rounds in late June.

Granger said interest is strong. She’s had to stop her route halfway through to restock books.

“What this bus has done for our community is tremendous,” said Foley, the district spokeswoman.

“The kids are so excited. It’s heartwarming.”

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Thursday, July 17, the 198th day of 2014.

There are 167 days left in the year.

Today’s highlight: On July 17, 1944, during World War II, 320 men, two-thirds of them AfricanAmericans, were killed when a pair of ammunition ships exploded at the Port Chicago Naval Magazine in California.

On this date: In 1821, Spain ceded Florida to the United States.

In 1918, Russia’s Czar Nicholas II and his family were executed by the Bolsheviks.

In 1936, the Spanish Civil War began as right-wing army generals launched a coup attempt against the Second Spanish Republic.

In 1938, aviator Douglas Corrigan took off from New York, saying he was headed for California; he ended up in Ireland, supposedly by accident, earning the nickname “Wrong Way Corrigan.”

In 1954, the two-day inaugural Newport Jazz Festival, billed as “The First American Jazz Festival,” opened in Rhode Island; among the performers the first night was Billie Holiday, who died in New York on this date in 1959 at 44.

In 1955, Disneyland had its opening day in Anaheim, California.

In 1962, the United States conducted its last atmospheric nuclear test to date, detonating a 20-kiloton device, codenamed Little Feller I, at the Nevada Test Site.

In 1974, Baseball Hall of Famer Jay Hanna “Dizzy” Dean, 64, died in Reno, Nevada.

In 1975, an Apollo spaceship docked with a Soyuz spacecraft in orbit

in the first superpower link-up of its kind.

In 1981, 114 people were killed when a pair of suspended walkways above the lobby of the Kansas City Hyatt Regency Hotel collapsed during a tea dance.

In 1996, TWA Flight 800, a Europe-bound Boeing 747, exploded and crashed off Long Island, New York, shortly after leaving John F. Kennedy International Airport, killing all 230 people aboard.

Ten years ago: Palestinian Prime Minister Ahmed Qureia submitted his resignation to Yasser Arafat, who rejected it the next day. California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger mockingly used the term “girlie men” during a rally as he claimed Democrats were delaying the state budget by catering to special interests.

Five years ago: Former CBS anchorman Walter Cronkite died in New York at 92. Bombs ripped through two luxury hotels in Jakarta, Indonesia, killing seven victims and wounding at least 50 more. The space shuttle Endeavour arrived at the International Space Station to deliver the third and final component of a billion-dollar Japanese lab.

One year ago: In a heated House Judiciary Committee hearing on domestic spying, members of Congress said they’d never intended to allow the National Security Agency to build a database of every phone call in America, while top Obama administration officials countered that the once-secret program was legal and necessary to keep America safe.

Stilly I-5 bridge to close for 4 months

By Chris Winters Herald Writer

ARLINGTON — One of the two bridge spans carrying I-5 over the Stillaguamish River will close next week for the next four months.

Work crews are replacing the 607-foot-long deck and some of the support beams of the southbound bridge.

Traffic in both directions will be reduced to two lanes approaching the bridge, and the speed limit reduced to 55 mph in both directions.

By the time the morning commute begins Tuesday, southbound traffic will be directed across the median onto the northbound bridge, which will be divided to handle both directions of traffic.

Starting overnight Monday, southbound I-5 will be reduced to one lane until about 5 a.m. while road crews stripe the highway and paint lane dividers on the temporary crossover. The road will expand to handle two lanes once the striping is done.

The work schedule may change if it rains.

“We have to stripe the highway and if there’s any moisture on the highway we can’t do that,” said Tom Pearce, spokesman for the state Department of Transportation.

The southbound bridge was built in 1933 and has only been refurbished once in its 81-year lifespan. Built to carry old Highway 99 across the river, it now carries up to 50,000 vehicles each day during the summer months.

Mowat Construction Co., based in Woodinville, was awarded the $8.7 million contract for the project, with most of the money

coming from federal bridge preservations funds.

Traffic is expected to be disrupted for the duration of the 120-day work period.

“The key message we’re trying to get out right now is the traffic: Avoid traveling at peak hours if possible,” Pearce said.

The heaviest traffic volumes are from 11 a.m.-6 p.m. on the weekends in the southbound lanes, and in the northbound lanes from 3-6 p.m. Thursdays and Fridays, and 11 a.m.-4 p.m. on the weekends.

Local traffic is encouraged to

bypass the bridge if possible: using Pioneer Highway to get to and from Stanwood from the south, or Smokey Point Boulevard and Highway 9 to get to Arlington.

Updates to the project are posted on the transporation department’s web page: wsdot.wa.gov/projects/i5/ stillaguamishbridgerehab.

The State Patrol is monitoring speeds through the work zone, Pearce said. In addition, the 55 mph limit in the southbound lanes extends all the way to Smokey Point Boulevard.

Teen gets prison for assault, robbery

By Diana Hefley Herald Writer

The goal is to establish STEM activities that directly relate to Darrington’s natural resources and the town’s economic opportunities, especially in forestry and outdoor recreation. Rankin hopes to incorporate programs into the curriculum at Darrington schools by fall 2015. This summer, and the upcoming school year, are part of a trial run.

“It was cool to learn things I thought I knew but I didn’t really know much about,” Tamez said. “I think the STEM program would be a great thing to start in Darrington schools.”

Cooper Young, 14, agreed that hands-on education would be valuable during the school year.

He hasn’t decided what he wants to do after high school, but the rafting trip gave him a chance to learn about some of his options.

“It was a lot of whitewater and a lot of rafts,” Young said. “It was really fun. I would love to do

EVERETT — A Mountlake Terrace teen who took part in two vicious beatings within months of each other is headed to prison.

Darian Sharpe, 19, had plans to join the U.S. Marines after he graduated high school. Instead, Sharpe was thrown out of Mountlake Terrace High School in 2012 after severely beating a special education student and stealing $9 from the boy’s wallet. Six months before that incident, Sharpe pistol-whipped a man in a potential case of mistaken identity.

Sharpe pleaded guilty in May to second-degree assault and attempted first-degree robbery.

A Snohomish County judge Wednesday sentenced Sharpe to 2 ½ years in prison. He faced a little over three years under state sentencing guidelines.

Sharpe already has served about eight months in jail. He was released on bail last year.

“Not only have the victims suffered along with their loved ones, but so have I. My selfish acts have taken away my dreams to join the Marine Corps and serve my country, the opportunity to finish my diploma and graduate with my friends, enjoying prom and other activities that most teenagers earn by acting accordingly,” Sharpe wrote in a letter to the Superior Court Judge Millie Judge.

Sharpe said he fell in with the wrong crowd in high school and they “caused me to act out.”

“The crimes that I have committed were made out of stupidity, anger, and simply

Assault charge filed over boy thrown from window

By Diana Hefley Herald Writer

EVERETT — A Lynnwood woman accused of throwing her 1-year-old nephew out a window earlier this month is now charged with assault.

Snohomish County prosecutors want Beteha Kebede to remain held on $250,000 bail, saying that she is a danger to the community and a flight risk. Kebede, 38, has ties to Ethiopia.

Kebede allegedly told police she threw her nephew out a second-story window to prevent someone from killing her or her children. She was unable to explain who wanted to harm her.

The boy suffered a fractured skull and brain bleeding, Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Elise Deschenes wrote in charging papers.

The prosecutor charged Kebede with first-degree assault of a child.

The woman’s relatives told detectives that Kebede’s own children were removed from her care in California because of ongoing mental health issues.

Kebede reportedly was visiting the family in Lynnwood. The child’s parents weren’t home at the time of the July 3 incident. Other relatives were caring for the boy.

They told detectives that Kebede was alone with the boy and then quickly left.

A downstairs neighbor heard the boy’s fall and spotted him on the ground.

He was limp and bleeding.

She rushed the boy upstairs to relatives, who called 911.

Around the same time a nearby business owner called 911 after encountering a distressed woman. A Snohomish County sheriff’s deputy located Kebede.

She reportedly told him that someone was trying to kill her. She also said that she had thrown her nephew out of the house.

The deputy called for paramedics, believing that the woman was suffering from a mental health crisis.

Meanwhile, the deputy saw firefighters at a nearby home and determined that they were there for reports of a child who had fallen out a window.

Kebede allegedly told the deputy that was the house where she had thrown a baby out a window. He detained her for further investigation.

She later reportedly told

sheriff’s detectives that she tossed the boy after a phone call with someone in California. She said she believed that “they” were going to kill her and her children, Deschenes wrote.

She allegedly re-enacted how she threw the boy from the window. Detectives said she didn’t show any “emotion or remorse” for her actions.

But if both pass, it will be a new experience for Washington. There’s no statute or case law covering simultaneous voter approval of two initiatives dealing with the same subject in opposite ways, according to the Secretary of State’s Office.

Lawmakers could, on

a two-thirds majority vote, pick one to enact, or try to harmonize the two measures — which is improbable given they counteract each other. If lawmakers deadlock, look for it to be punted to the state Supreme Court where justices would be asked to name the initiative with the most votes the winner.

4 displaced in fire near Snohomish Herald staff SNOHOMISH — Four people were displaced and a house likely destroyed in a fire Wednesday afternoon east of Snohomish.

The two-alarm fire was reported at 2:40 p.m. along Westwick Road, just north of U.S. 2.

Crews arrived to find a 5,000-square-foot rambler in flames, Snohomish Fire Chief Ron Simmons said.

The house had a long driveway, and firefighters had trouble getting water to the site, he said.

The people who lived there were home when the fire broke out and called 911. They were unhurt.

Several firefighters suffered heat exhaustion on scene but were OK, the chief said.

The cause of the fire is under investigation but appears to be accidental.

Crews also responded from Lake Stevens, Monroe, Clearview, Everett and Gold Bar. Fire District 1 teams were sent to cover 911 calls in the city of Snohomish, Simmons said.

A sheriff’s helicopter team initially was asked to drop water from above, but that was called off due to uncertain conditions.

Firefighters and deputies closed roads in the area.

Taking a dive in the Sound

OBITUARIES AND MEMORIALS David (Davy) Lee Moulton

Kodiak museum invites all to join archaeological dig Associated Press KODIAK, Alaska — The Alutiiq Museum in Kodiak is preparing for its 17th annual community archaeology dig, where nonprofessionals can participate in real research at an actual excavation site.

The dig is set to begin Monday and continue until Aug. 8 at the Kashevaroff site in Womens Bay, KMXT-FM reported.

Excavation at the site began last year through the Community Archaeology Project, which started in 1997.

The excavation target at the base of Kashevaroff Mountain is believed to be a late prehistoric house as much as 400 years old, according to Amy Steffian, the museum’s director of research and publications.

it again.”

The 21 students on the rafting trip were selected because they each contributed to Oso relief efforts, mostly helping with the collection of food, supplies and money.

The programs’s second excursion, a trip to Diablo Dam, is scheduled for Aug. 15 with a different group of teens.

Students do not pay to participate in the program.

Organizers are looking to find a long-term source of funding, Rankin said.

Current partners include North Counties Family Services, Adventure Cascades, Washington State University Forestry Extension and a consortium of other outdoor recreation and conservation volunteers.

not thinking,” Sharpe wrote.

Sharpe apologized to the victims, his mother and friends at Wednesday’s hearing.

In June 2012, Sharpe and a few other suspects lured a man outside and then tried to force him into a car.

The defendant pointed a revolver at the man.

When the victim refused to get into the car, Sharpe ordered the others to “get him,” according to charging papers. The victim repeatedly was struck.

Sharpe hit him several times in the head with the gun, court papers said.

The beating stopped after someone in the

The site predates Russian settlers and contains evidence of visitation dating back as far as 7,000 years, according to Steffian, who helped start the community project with archaeologist Patrick Saltonstall.

“Around the house we found many large ulus — great big slate cutting knives that are sort of the shape that you would use to split fish,” she said.

Half of the house was excavated last year. Steffian said a second room might be located behind a room that was excavated. But she’s not certain there is.

“You never know what you’re going to find,” she said.

People can participate Mondays through Fridays in the upcoming dig.

A n

informational meeting and volunteer orientation is set for 7 p.m. today at the museum. Attendance is not mandatory, but the meeting will be an opportunity to get first pick of dates to participate.

Only 20 people, including museum staff, can work the dig each day.

There are few such opportunities for teenagers or the general public, according to Steffian.

“When we designed this project we realized that the opportunity to have hands-on experience with prehistory could be really profound for people and could really help people understand not only how Alutiiq folks lived in the past but also the importance of preserving archaeological sites,” she said.

“I think this program will give the kids a chance to connect with this place,” said Brian Pernick, owner of Adventure Cascades. “A lot of kids grow up in Darrington thinking there’s nothing to do and no opportunities for them.”

Knowledge of natural resource management is especially important in rural communities, Pernick said.

He has guided raft tours of the Sauk River for six years and opened Cascade Adventures three years ago.

Pernick said he’s wanted to create some kind of outdoor education program for local students since he started the business.

“Since the slide, there’s been a lot of cooperation,” he said.

That cooperation gave Rankin and Pernick the chance to pitch the STEM program idea.

“We’re working to find out what works and what doesn’t, and what engages

and excites students,” Rankin said. “Just getting children outdoors and learning has a huge impact.”

This summer’s projects are for 13- to 18-yearolds. Rankin hopes to add activities later this year for younger children, such as nature walks and plant identification.

Tamez said her favorite part of last week’s rafting trip was when the water slowed after the rapids and she could look around at the hills, trees and wildlife.

She saw her hometown in a new way.

“Many of us had never gone on the rafting trip before and we’ve lived here practically our whole lives,” she said.

Pernick has high hopes for students who participate in the new program.

“Hopefully they’ll fall in love with their own backyard,” he said.

group asked the man if he knew “Chelsea.”

The man told them that he didn’t and they had the wrong guy. The group drove off in a BMW. In December 2012, a 16-year-old Mountlake Terrace student went into the school bathroom to wash his hands.

Classmates said the boy was “a good kid who would always loan money to friends if they needed help.” His generosity created a rumor that he carried a large amount of money.

Sharpe recruited an underage classmate to help him rob the boy.

Sharpe and the younger student attacked the victim in the bathroom. The boy was beaten unconscious.

His jaw was broken and some of his teeth were knocked out.

“The victim in this case has been suffering since the day he crossed paths with the defendant,” Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Bob Langbehn wrote in court papers.

Not only was he physically injured, “there has been a tremendous emotional toll that has been taken on him,” Langbehn added.

The teen was reluctantly willing to testify, but Langbehn was concerned that it would create additional harm to him.

Langbehn wanted to spare him the ordeal of a trial.

Sharpe’s convictions earned him a strike under the state’s persistent offender law.

Daniel Corlett Rose died peacefully at home on July 15, 2014 due to bile duct cancer.

Born December 10, 1933 in Everett to Dr. John William and Thirza Esther (Corlett) Rose, Dan grew up in and lived nearly his entire life in M a r y s v i l l e . H e g r a d u a te d from Marysville High School in 1952, and received a degree in chemistry from Pacific Lutheran University, where he was also a Mayfest Dancer, in 1956. After a two-year stint in the Navy, he married, Marilyn Ruth Rinta on June 21, 1958.

Dan worked for Weyerhaeuser, first as a chemist, but for the majority of his 30-year career, as a personnel manager for the three mills in Everett. The last four ye a r s o f h i s c a r e e r we r e spent at a then newly-built mill in Valliant, Oklahoma where he designed the training program. He and Marilyn lived in Idabel, Oklahoma during that time and enjoyed exploring the South. He retired from Weyerhaeuser in 1989 and returned to Marysville with Marilyn.

Dan loved gardening, especially his fruit trees. Perhaps even more, he loved to share the bounty of his garden, and often had a large sign out front adver tising corn, apples, rhubarb or Christmas trees for sale. If he wasn’t in the house watching baseball, you could find him outside puttering in the garden or washing the car in the driveway, which was a great place to have a conversation with him and get filled up with his humor and wisdom, which were as bountiful as his garden.

Dan was preceded in death by his parents and his brother, Lt. John William (Jack) Rose.

He is survived by his wife of 56 years, Marilyn, and his three daughters, who he always said were geniuses; Karel Anne Sahlberg (Doug), Karin Ruth Rose, and Marcia JoAnn Rose-Ritchie (Ian). He also leaves behind five grandchildren; Ian Sahlberg (Jessica), Jordan Sahlberg, K i e r s te n S a h l b e r g , A i d a n Ritchie and Marja Ritchie, and one great-granddaughter whom he adored, Isla Rose Sahlberg. Also surviving are his sister-in-law, Marlene Rose, and nephews, David and Kevin Rose.

“Uncle Dan” to many, Dan was a presence not just within his immediate and larger family, but to the community as a whole. For many years he could be found at high school ball games throughout the region and followed the careers of “his kids” well into college.

He will be missed.

Israel, Hamas to pause battle Associated Press GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Israel and Hamas agreed to a five-hour U.N. brokered pause to their 9-day-long battle, offering the most encouraging sign yet that the fierce fighting could come to an end.

Israel’s bombardment of Gaza has killed more than 200 Palestinians, including four boys struck on a beach Wednesday by shells fired from a navy ship. Israel said it would hold its fire today from 10 a.m. under a plan to allow Palestinians to restock food, water and other necessities. But it vowed to retaliate “firmly and decisively” if Hamas or other militant groups launch attacks on Israel during that time.

Later, a Hamas spokesman said that following consultations with various factions the Gaza militants had decided to respect the pause as well and would refrain from firing rockets during those hours as well.

Robert Serry, the U.N. special coordinator for the Middle East peace process, had asked Israel to agree to a “unilateral humanitarian pause” so that the supplies can be delivered to Gaza, said U.N. deputy spokesman Farhan Haq. Serry will “urge the parties in Gaza to respect that pause,” Haq said.

Israel previously had halted its fire for six hours Tuesday after Egypt put forward a ceasefire proposal that unraveled.

Hamas said Wednesday the group had formally rejected

the plan, bemoaning what it called little support from the Arab world.

But Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas met Wednesday in Cairo with a senior official from Hamas to try to salvage the Egyptian proposal.

In Washington, President Barack Obama said the U.S. supports Egypt’s continued efforts to restore the 2012 cease-fire and will use its diplomatic resources to secure a deal to end the violence.

Israel’s military said its forces bombed at least 150 targets in Gaza on Wednesday. The Gaza Interior Ministry’s website said 30 houses, including those of senior Hamas leaders Mahmoud Zahar, Jamila Shanti, Fathi Hamas and Ismail

Ashkar, were targeted.

Zahar was a key figure in Hamas’ violent takeover of Gaza in 2007, while the other three were members of the Palestinian parliament elected in 2006. Many Hamas leaders have gone into hiding since Israel began its bombardment July 8 in response to rocket attacks from Gaza.

Gaza health official Ashraf al-Kidra said the Palestinian death toll rose to 222, with 1,670 wounded. Only one Israeli has so far died in the conflict — a civilian distributing food to soldiers in southern Israel on Tuesday evening — largely because of the effectiveness of Israel’s Iron Dome air defense system in downing incoming rockets.

How do ‘takers, makers’ vote?

The Washington Post There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what. All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims.

Thus spoke Mitt Romney, infamously, in May 2012. It was a defining moment of the 2012 campaign, and much of the discussion since has focused on whether he was right that 47 percent of people paid no income taxes (he was, although only about 15 percent of people avoid all federal taxes), or whether he unfairly divided the nation into “makers” and “takers” (debatable).

Now comes a new paper from Dean Lacy of Dartmouth College, which aims to answer the question of whether the “takers” do indeed vote Democratic no matter what. The short answer is a qualified “no”: “benefiting from government spending has no effect on the probability of voting for Obama among voters under the age of 65,” he writes.

Not only that, but voters in states that are net beneficiaries of federal spending were less likely to vote Obama: “A one-dollar increase in federal spending per tax dollar — moving from Ohio’s ratio of 1.0 to North Dakota’s ratio of 2.0 — is associated with a .13 decrease in a voter’s probability of voting for Obama.”

Lacy looked at the results of a 2012 YouGov/Polimetrix survey, weighted to be nationally representative according to the 2008 American Community Survey. The survey asked whether people thought they were net beneficiaries of federal spending (takers), or net contributors to federal coffers (makers):

Arthur Walker, a retired U.S. Navy lieutenant commander who was convicted of spying for the Soviets during the Cold War and was a member of what was described as an entire family of spies, died earlier this month at a federal prison where he was serving a life sentence. He was 79.

Walker was being held at the Butner, North Carolina, prison complex, and the Federal Bureau of Prisons said he died in custody July 5. A friend gave the date as July 4 and told author Pete Earley that Walker apparently had acute kidney failure.

Walker, who found work with the military contractor VSE after his Navy retirement in the early 1970s, was convicted in 1985 of seven espionagerelated charges. A younger brother, John Anthony Walker,

Russia fills the gap for East Coast coal PORTSMOUTH, N.H. — When the state’s largest utility needed to rebuild coal supplies after the past frigid winter, it turned to Russia rather than Appalachia or Wyoming’s Powder River Basin.

A bulk carrier transported the fuel almost 4,000 miles from Riga, Latvia, last month to the Schiller power plant, a 150-megawatt facility that’s produced electricity since 1952. Utilities in the U.S. are scrambling for coal, on pace to increase imports 26 percent this year, as railroad bottlenecks slow deliveries and electricity demand climbs with an improving economy. Russia, the world’s third-largest exporter of the fuel, will boost shipments 3.9 percent this year, IHS Energy forecasts.

D.C.: Marijuana banking The House voted Wednesday in support of making it easier for banks to do business with legal pot shops and providers of medical marijuana. The 236-186 vote rejected a move by Rep. John Fleming, R-La., to block the Treasury Department from implementing guidance it issued in February telling banks how to report on their dealings with marijuana-related businesses without running afoul of federal moneylaundering laws. Marijuana dealing is still against federal law, so banks that do business with marijuana dispensaries could be accused of helping them launder their money.

Drone photos of wedding The Federal Aviation Administration indicated Wednesday it is investigating whether a video of a congressman’s wedding last month violated the agency’s ban on drone flights for commercial purposes. The statement doesn’t mention Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, D-N.Y., by name, but said it was looking into “a report of an unmanned aircraft operation in Cold Spring, New York, on June 21 to determine if there was any violation of federal regulations.” Maloney has acknowledged hiring a photographer to produce a video of his wedding using a camera mounted on a small drone.

Texas: Huge gas tank scam CHARLES DHARAPAK / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney campaigns in Kettering, Ohio, in 2012.

“Think about all the taxes you and your family pay to the U.S. federal government, such as income taxes and Social Security taxes. Also think about how much money you and your family get from the federal government in Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid, salary or wages if you are employed by the federal government or military, farm subsidies, education loans, veterans’ benefits, or anything else. Would you say that you and your family get more money from the federal government than you pay in taxes, do you pay more in taxes than you get back, or do you pay about the same amount in taxes as you get back from the government?”

The question measures a person’s perceived relationship with federal spending. Lacy does some modeling to check if these perceptions measure up with reality, and finds that by and large, they do. And in politics, perceptions are often just as important as reality. “The reflection of the real world is partly influenced by the perceptual filters of race and party identification,” he writes.

“Democrats are more likely than Republicans or Independents to believe they benefit from federal spending, perhaps capturing reality, rationalizations or partisan rhetoric.”

But more to the point, there is very little relationship between a person’s perceived status as a maker or taker, and how they voted. “For the less

than one-quarter of American voters age 65 and over, a partisan divide does appear between net contributors and net beneficiaries. But for the remaining 77.5 percent of voters, the only appreciable effect of federal spending on vote choice in 2012 was that voters who believe they pay about the same in taxes as they receive in spending are more likely to vote Democratic than either net beneficiaries or net contributors.”

While the partisan divide between makers and takers may still loom large in the imaginations of congressmen and party leaders, in the real world, the notion that makers vote Republican and takers vote Democratic is, at most, a quarter-truth.

Former U.S. Navy spy dies in prison The Washington Post

ACROSS THE U.S.

and a nephew, Michael Lance Walker, later pleaded guilty to spying charges. (A fourth member of the ring, Jerry Whitworth, a former Navy radioman, was also convicted and sentenced to 365 years in prison.)

Earley called his 1988 book about them “Family of Spies: Inside the John Walker Spy Ring.”

In addition to the inherent fascination of espionage, a variety of factors prompted interest in the Walkers. The Navy service of all three made them seem particularly worthy of condemnation. In addition, their blood kinship seemed to offer a mocking commentary on the meaning of the phrase “family values.”

As John Walker told his story, it all began in the late 1960s when he walked into the Soviet Embassy in Washington to show what he could

provide. Matters came to an end after the FBI was put on his trail by his former wife, and he was spotted leaving a grocery bag near a tree in Poolesville, Maryland.

The paper bag contained secrets concealed under trash.

The ring masterminded by John Walker was described by officials as one of the most damaging in American history. But defense lawyers and acquaintances characterized Arthur Walker as the ring’s least culpable member.

He admitted to receiving $12,000 from his brother in exchange for materials that included a training manual on repairing damage to a Navy ship and a report on equipment failures aboard amphibious vessels.

He was called the dupe of a manipulative brother; the materials he trafficked in were said to be of minimal value,

and his attorneys argued that no evidence existed that the items ever reached the Soviets.

As Walker himself told his story, he was despondent over debts when his brother told him that he knew “friends” who would pay money for secrets.

In Walkers’s telling, his brother pressed him for classified material, and the items he turned over were intended to relieve the pressure. They were classified “confidential,” the lowest level in the classification structure. His idea was to show that he had little to offer, Walker said.

However, a prosecutor, Robert Seidel, said of Walker: “For $12,000, he sells out the safety and security ... not just of the Navy, but of every citizen of the United States of America.”

The judge imposed a penalty of three life sentences plus 40 years.

An man has been accused of using dozens of stolen credit and debit card numbers to pump more than $5,000 worth of fuel during one stop. Lufkin police said a clerk became suspicious July 10 when a man took an hour to fuel his Ford F-350 pickup truck and paid with 47 different cards. Police later determined the truck bed was converted into a 600-gallon diesel tank. Jail records show Carlos Miranda was being held Wednesday on charges of credit or debit card abuse and driving with an invalid license.

AROUND THE WORLD Vietnam: Oil rig pulls out China on Wednesday moved an oil rig out of waters claimed by Hanoi after two months of drilling that triggered a near-breakdown in ties between the neighbors and led to deadly protests in Vietnam. Withdrawing the rig from near the Paracel Islands in the South China Sea reduces the immediate risk of a naval standoff but will do little to mend relations between the two countries.

Japan: Restarting reactors Authorities have declared that two nuclear reactors meet new standards put in place after the 2011 Fukushima disaster and are safe enough to be restarted, paving the way for the revival of the country’s atomic energy industry. As Japan swelters through another summer of electricity saving and bills for expensive gas and coal imports stack up, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has been pressing for an end to the nuclear shutdown imposed after an earthquake and tsunami caused a meltdown at the Fukushima power plant.

Dubai: Arab spaceship The United Arab Emirates is aiming for the stars, or just a little bit closer, with an ambitious trip to Mars. The energy-rich country announced plans Wednesday to send the first unmanned Arab spaceship to Mars in 2021. The ruler of the UAE’s emirate of Dubai said the mission will prove the Arab world is still capable of delivering scientific contributions to humanity, despite the many conflicts across the Middle East.

The UAE has been pushing Arab nations to create a space agency similar to the European Space Agency.

Jobless rate at 6-year low While unemployment in the state fell to 5.8%, the Everett-Seattle-Bellevue area dropped to 4.8%.

By Rachel La Corte Associated Press

OLYMPIA — Washington state officials said Wednesday that the state’s unemployment rate fell to 5.8 percent last month, the lowest it has been in six years.

Numbers released Wednesday by the state’s Employment Security Department show that June’s jobless rate was down from May’s

rate of 6.1 percent. The state also added an estimated 9,100 jobs in May. “The state’s economy is picking up momentum and the near term job outlook is good,” said Paul Turek, an economist with the department.

Washington’s unemployment rate sits below the national rate of 6.1 percent for June. The unemployment rate in the Everett-Seattle-Bellevue area dropped to 4.8 percent from May’s rate of 5 percent.

The largest job increases were seen in education and health services, which saw a surge of 2,600 jobs last month; retail

trade, which was up 2,200 jobs and leisure and hospitality, which increased by 1,900 jobs.

Other sectors that saw increases include wholesale trade, professional and business services, and information.

“Employment gains were broad and spread through all major industry sectors,” Turek wrote.

The biggest decrease was seen in government, which saw a drop of 1,400 jobs, while construction and manufacturing each lost about 400 jobs. Nearly 85,000 jobs have been added in the state over a one-year period ending in June, officials said.

Two different surveys are used to calculate unemployment figures and job losses and gains. The unemployment rate represents the percentage of the labor force that is unemployed and actively looking for work. People who have stopped looking for work aren’t counted. The job gains and losses estimates are based on a U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics survey of businesses.

An estimated 201,000 people were looking for work in the state, including more than 70,000 who claimed unemployment benefits in June.

Starbucks opens Colombia store “There’s room in the market for us both,” a local coffee vendor says.

FERNANDO VERGARA / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Howard Schultz, chairman and CEO of Starbucks, cuts the ribbon during the opening ceremony for the first Starbucks in Bogota, Colombia, on Wednesday.

burnished its image for corporate responsibility, offering employees in the U.S. generous health care benefits and now online college courses, it’s stayed clear of Colombia, Latin America’s third largest economy, even as it has opened more than 700 stores in 12 other countries in the region.

That may have been because it feared trampling on local sensibilities already hurt by the branding of coffee that leaves growers earning just a few pennies from every $4 venti latte sold.

“Given the dependence we have on Colombian coffee farmers we wanted to tread very lightly over the years,” CEO Howard Schultz said in Bogota. So “when we did decide to come we wanted to do it in a way that was very respectful and through the lens of humility.”

A desire to overcome the

commodities curse is also what’s been driving the federation’s focus on adding value up the retail chain, a strategy reflected in more sophisticated local coffeedrinking culture.

While known for exporting the world’s finest beans, until recently Colombians’ taste in coffee was quite provincial, relegated to a preference for heavily-sweetened, warmed-over black coffee known as tinto, which is sold nearly everywhere.

Starbucks has also helped Colombian growers, introducing to consumers about 15 years ago a single-origin coffee grown in the Narino mountains.

Schultz, who first traveled to Colombia around 15 years ago to purchase beans, said no expense was spared to make the Colombia launch a success. For the first time in Latin America its coffee

is being roasted locally, the store is decorated with mostly Colombian artwork and the company opened a farmer support center in the coffee hub of Manizales to share insights with growers.

“This is all designed to create a spotlight, halo and celebration of Colombian coffee,” said Schultz.

Across from where Starbucks opened on a leafy park in north Bogota, office workers at a rival Juan Valdez seemed thrilled with the prospect of having a new option for their late-afternoon caffeine fix.

Service at their local coffee house, they said, has been improving ever since Starbucks announced it was coming a year ago.

“I like Juan Valdez but it doesn’t mean I’ll never go to Starbucks just because I want to support our own,” said Marcela Gomez, an architect. “A little healthy competition is good.”

Visa launches quicker method for online sales Payment processor Visa is launching a new service called Visa Checkout that eliminates steps in online payment.

The company and its retailing partners hope a quicker payout will lead to fewer abandoned shopping carts online.

As more customers shop on smaller screens like smartphones and tablets, the hassle of entering in credit card numbers and billing addresses is becoming a sticking point and payment processors have been working to find ways to simplify the process. Now, users can sign up with Visa credit and debit cards, as well as other branded cards, and enter their card information just once. Then they will be able pay for things via Visa by only entering their username and password at participating sites.

Airbus warns of faulty doors

Associated Press BOGOTA, Colombia — Make room, Juan Valdez, it’s time to meet the green-aproned barista.

On Wednesday, Starbucks made its much-anticipated debut in the country synonymous with coffee after decades of roasting Colombia’s Arabica beans for billions of java lovers the world over.

The three-floor coffee house in Bogota is the first of 50 that the company plans to open here in the next five years. In a nod to the country’s proud coffee-growing tradition, it’s also the only one in the world to serve exclusively locally-sourced coffee.

But will Colombians answer Starbucks’ siren call and ditch a popular local chain bearing the bushy-whiskered coffee farmer’s name?

Colombia’s coffee federation, owner of the Juan Valdez chain, is outwardly welcoming the competition. It says the arrival of Starbucks will boost the market for gourmet java even if sales at its nearly 200 stores in Colombia take a hit over the short term.

“There’s room in the market for us both,” said Alejandra Londono, head of international sales for the Colombian chain.

Juan Valdez’s social mission promoting Colombian coffee and contributing to producers’ welfare is likely to keep customers loyal, said Londono.

Since its founding 11 years ago, the Colombian chain has funneled more than $20 million to a national fund that supports the country’s 560,000 coffee-growing families, some of whom also own shares in the company.

To become law in a state, the legislation would have to be adopted by the legislature. If it did, a person’s online life could become as much a part of estate planning as deciding what to do with physical possessions.

The question of what to do with one’s “digital assets” is as big as America’s electronic footprint.

Airbus has advised airlines to test noisy doors on the world’s largest passenger airliner, the A380, after identifying a problem with the door seal that could lead to a fall in the cabin pressure. The company said Wednesday that it’s assessed noisy doors on some aircraft, after an air leak on a Singapore Airlines flight in January that caused the cabin pressure to drop, and found 10 percent of those tested needed reinforcing. An Airbus spokesman said the company had “identified and understood the root cause” of the door issue and that they were related to the door seal.

SUVs pass sedans in U.S. vehicle sales Sport utility vehicles have overtaken sedans in U.S. market share, aided by more fuel-efficient, carlike crossover models, IHS Automotive said Wednesday. SUVs, including crossovers, accounted for 36.5 percent of U.S. new-vehicle registrations this year through May, compared with 35.4 percent for sedans, the IHS Inc. unit said. Sedans, which held the top spot for decades, had led 36.6 percent to 33.9 percent a year earlier, IHS said. Compact and mid-sized crossover SUVs such as Ford’s Escape, Toyota’s RAV4 and Nissan’s Rogue have gained in popularity in the past several years.

Yahoo countersues in harassment case Yahoo struck back Wednesday against a lawsuit alleging that a female executive sexually harassed a software engineer, calling the accusations “outrageously false” and “simply inhumane.” Yahoo is suing recently fired engineer Nan Shi for defamation and infliction of emotional distress, saying her claims of sexual harassment against her former manager, Maria Zhang, are fabrications that have damaged her reputation as well as the company’s. Shi last week sued Zhang, an executive at Yahoo, alleging that she was forced to have sex against her will on multiple occasions in exchange for promises of a “bright future at Yahoo.”

Feds urging action on overseas tax dodge Los Angeles Times WASHINGTON — Calling for “a new sense of economic patriotism,” a top Obama administration official urged Congress to take immediate action to stop U.S. companies from reorganizing as foreign

firms to avoid paying taxes.

The maneuver, known as tax inversion, serves “to hollow out the U.S. corporate income tax base,” Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew wrote to congressional leaders. “What we need as a nation is a new sense of economic patriotism,

where we all rise or fall together,” Lew wrote to the top Democrats and Republicans on the congressional tax-writing committees.

“We should not be providing support for corporations that seek to shift their profits overseas to avoid paying their fair share of taxes,” he said.

Some lawmakers have pushed to restrict the practice, in which a U.S.-based multinational company restructures so the parent company becomes a foreign corporation. The maneuver allows firms to avoid paying corporate taxes in the U.S., which has the highest rate among major developed nations.

This week, Pennsylvania-based Mylan agreed to buy Abbott Laboratories’ generic drug business in developed countries and create a new company that will be incorporated in the Netherlands. The new firm will pay lower taxes, although Mylan plans to keep its headquarters outside Pittsburgh.

Lew said such moves were unfair to U.S. taxpayers. “The firms involved in these transactions still expect to benefit from their business location in the United States, with our protection of intellectual property rights, our support for research and development, our investment climate and our infrastructure, all funded by various levels of government,” he wrote.

Walgreen Co. reportedly is considering a similar offshore tax shift and there have been 47 inversions

by U.S. corporations since 1984, according to Rep. Sander Levin, D-Mich.

A printout of the Facebook page for Loren Williams, now deceased, at the Beaverton, Oregon, home of his mother, Karen Williams. Williams sued Facebook for access to Loren’s account after he died in a 2005 motorcycle accident at the age of 22.

Online: From Page A7

Center in Washington, said a judge’s approval should be needed for access, to protect the privacy of both the owners of accounts and the people who communicate with them.

“The digital world is a different world” from offline, McCall said. “No one would keep 10 years of every communication they ever had with dozens or even hundreds of other people under their bed.”

Many people assume they can decide what happens by sharing certain passwords with a trusted family member, or even making those passwords part of their will. But in addition to potentially exposing passwords when a will becomes public record, anti-hacking laws and most companies’ “terms of service” agreements prohibit anyone from accessing an account that isn’t theirs.

That means loved ones technically are prohibited from logging onto a dead person’s account.

Several tech providers have come up with their own solutions. Facebook, for example, will “memorialize” accounts by allowing already confirmed friends to continue to view photos and old posts.

Google, which runs Gmail, YouTube and Picasa Web Albums, offers its own version: If people don’t log on after a while, their accounts can be deleted or shared with a designated person. Yahoo users agree when signing up that their accounts expire when they do.

But the courts aren’t convinced that a

company supplying the technology should get to decide what happens to a person’s digital assets. In 2005, a Michigan probate judge ordered Yahoo to hand over the emails of a Marine killed in Iraq after his parents argued that their son would have wanted to share them. Likewise, a court eventually granted Williams, the Oregon mother, access to her son’s Facebook account, although she says the communications appeared to be redacted.

Enter the Uniform Law Commission.

According to a draft of the proposal, the personal representative of the deceased, such as the executor of a will, would get access to — but not control of — a person’s digital files so long as the deceased didn’t prohibit it in the will. The law would trump access rules outlined by a company’s terms of service agreement, although the representative would still have to abide by other rules including copyright laws.

That means, for example, a widow could read her deceased husband’s emails but couldn’t send emails from that account. And a person could access music or video downloads but not copy the files if doing so violated licensing agreements.

Williams said she supports letting people decide in their wills whether accounts should be kept from family members.

“I could understand where some people don’t want to share everything,” she said this week. “But to us, losing him (our son) unexpectedly, anything he touched became so valuable to us.” And “if we were still in the era of keeping a shoebox full of letters, that would have been part of the estate, and we wouldn’t have thought anything of it.”

IN OUR VIEW | BRISENIA FLORES HUMANITY EVENT

Your right not to be killed You have a right not to be killed.

Human agency means that we are endowed with reason and conscience and, according to the aspirational language of Article I of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, “should act toward one another in a spirit of brotherhood.”

If we could only make it so.

Human nature and the politics of hate were thrown into relief Tuesday when Holly Grigsby, an Oregon white supremacist, was sentenced to life behind bars for her role in the 2011 murders of four people, including David “Red” Pedersen, and his wife, DeeDee Pedersen, both of Everett. They were the father and stepmother, respectively, of

Grigsby’s boyfriend and partner in hate, David “Joey” Pedersen.

As The Herald’s Diana Hefley reported, prosecutors allege Grigsby was responsible for tying up DeeDee Pedersen and slashing her throat inside the Everett grandmother’s home.

Both Grigsby and David “Joey” Pedersen were animated by antisemitism and an appetite for revolution. As Eric Hoffer wrote in his 1951 masterpiece, “The True Believer,” “It is by its promise of a sense of power that evil often attracts the weak.”

It’s a legacy with an uncomfortable heritage.

Seven years ago a tangle of events topped off at the old Everett Elks club. A self-styled Illegal Immigration Summit

was a lesser angels’ showcase of xenophobes, racists and conspiracy theorists — outliers who, one convulsed soul after another, gave expression to Snohomish County’s dark corners.

Shawna Forde, an Everett City Council candidate at the time, warned the gathering about a rising tide of undocumented aliens. “I’m through with people who don’t belong in my country and who tax my system,” she said. The current child-refugee crisis must be infuriating for Forde.

In 2009, she teamed with a Minuteman cohort, Jason “Gunny” Bush, and killed an Arizona man and his 9-year old daughter, Brisenia Flores.

Forde and Bush currently sit on

Arizona’s death row.

Today the Snohomish County Human Rights Commission hosts its the third annual “Brisenia Flores Humanity not Hatred” event, a community ice-cream social from 5:30 – 7:30 p.m. at McCollum Park.

“The Human Rights Commission’s hope is that by remembering Brisenia in an event designed to encourage communication and positive interaction, we can build stronger connections among diverse residents from across Snohomish County,” wrote commission chairwoman Meg Winch.

Brotherhood is elusive. That doesn’t preclude trying. Brisenia Flores had a right not to be killed.

GUEST COMMENTARY | U.S. 2 SAFETY

Another tragedy; another plea for change

By Jana Harris

O

n a cloudless dry Saturday, July 12, on my way home from grocery shopping, I was yet again inconvenienced by what looked like a fatal collision on U.S. 2. I employ this scrap of understatement to grab your attention, which is sorely needed.

The accident happened only minutes before my husband and I arrived at the intersection of Fern Bluff Road. Traffic had stopped, people stood beside cars and nearby houses with dropped jaws. A state trooper had just arrived and appeared to be calming witnesses who had pulled a family, including a one-year-old child, from a burning car — battle ribbons to all of them. A fire truck had cordoned off the intersection with hoses while first responders worked strenuously and tirelessly giving

CPR to an 89-year-old, who, if he survives, owes his life to the Sultan Fire Department.

Few things are as durable as a horrific memory and, with regard to this highway; there have been too many such memories.

But this letter isn’t just about another brilliant summer day ruined by a two-lane road that ought to have been converted to a four-lane, divided highway a quartercentury ago. Interpolating from available statistics, I guesstimate that since my husband and I bought a farm here more than 25 years ago, nearly 100 people have died on this thoroughfare. That is the same number of people who perished on another warm mid- July day when they stormed the Bastille and the French Revolution began.

Sadly, the fallen in the war on U.S. 2 will never be honored by a national holiday.

Why has this highway

been allowed to habitually fall through the cracks? I lay its carnage at the feet of city and county building officials, and at every one of my county, state and national representatives, as well as leaders of the construction and real estate industry, all of whom, past and present, have brought thousands of new residents here without an iota of conscience as to the consequences of the traffic problems caused by additional vehicles, three for every new residence.

Will anything happen? And by “anything,” speak not of ridiculous Band-Aids — traffic lights and traffic circles. Alas, I fear that greed and the blind eye of apathy have rendered us sightless. This notorious blood alley has become a major health issue and is everyone’s problem. We need not always export our goodwill to a Third World country in order to save the innocent

from a fiery death.

As I contemplate another sleepless night, the event of July 12 again rises up before me. I picture the almost countless and growing number of white roadside crosses, the endless patches of investigating marks and symbols — spray-painted day-glow orange lines, broken orange lines, blue circles and arrows, red flare stubs, gray flare ash, little orange cones, larger orange cones, black skid marks and burned spaghetti shreds of rubber tire. Even in my dreams I travel this roadway while considering my options: Either I put my life in the hands of the kindness of strangers and the skill of first responders — life-saving awards to all, you are my heroes — or I can move.

Call this commentary hysterical and I will plead “yes;” because, if this is not a war, then it is slaughter by proxy.

Jana Harris lives in Sultan.

Suing ACA is a summer staple in D.C.

O

n television, summer reruns are becoming a thing of the past.

Noting a jump in demand for fresh entertainment in the hot months, TV execs are responding with original programming.

In Washington, however, suing Obamacare gets played over and over and over again, whatever the heat index. These summer reruns don’t get much audience, but that hasn’t deterred the House Republicans. This is their latest attempt — they’ve tried more than 40 times — to wreck the Affordable Care Act. This suit revolves around the president’s decision to delay the employer mandate.

That show wasn’t so hot the first time FROMA HARROP around.

The employer mandate requires medium and large employers to provide health coverage to their workers or pay a penalty. It was to go in effect Jan. 1, but the administration extended the deadline to give companies more time to get with the program.

The complaint, as stated by House Speaker John Boehner, is that President Obama changed the health care law without a vote by Congress. Obama was illegally “waiving the employer mandate and the penalties for failing to comply with it.”

You’ve got to give him credit for twisting the plot. It happens that House Republicans last year themselves voted to delay the employer mandate and, by extension, penalties for failing to comply with it.

Call it “Blue Is the New Red” — or should that be the other way around?

And by the way, the mandate is constitutional. The U.S. Supreme Court said so.

You’d think our elected officials would have the decency to not waste legal resources — taxpayer dollars, actually — suing over an action they’ve supported.

Obviously, this is a case not of picking and choosing objections to Obamacare but of hurling lawyers at it with a water cannon. Whatever happened to summer vacations?

As the story of Obamacare develops, the townspeople originally hostile to the health reforms are warming up to the newcomer. Hardly a week goes by without another fear about his getting shot down by reality.

For example, average premium costs are not spiking; they’re rising more slowly than before the law. Healthy young people are not refusing to obtain coverage; they’re signing up. Meanwhile, the great majority of the newly insured say they are happy with their coverage.

Now it appears that federal spending on health programs is growing more slowly than earlier predicted, and cost savings written into Obamacare are part of the reason. We’re talking $1.23 trillion in lower expected spending for the 10 years starting in 2010, the amount supplied by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.

So polls show a national audience increasingly content — and given the mud thrown at it, pleasantly surprised — with Obamacare. Republicans won’t seriously dismantle the reforms, but that doesn’t mean they can’t make a show of hammering at the law.

Call it “Bad Breaking.”

To be fair and balanced, let it be noted that respectable legal scholars stand on both sides of the debate over the delayed mandate. Some say Obama exceeded his authority. Others say he just did it to implement a program that Congress approved, which is part of his job description. As a similar example, George W. Bush waived a penalty for poor elderly people who missed the deadline for re-enrolling in the new Medicare drug benefit. No one complained then.

The broadcasters and cable channels are hollering for new material because their audiences want it, and audiences feed their bottom line. Members of Congress don’t have to care about audience interest, because they get paid anyway, by the public.

Hence the reruns of the Obamacare demolition derby in which Obamacare never really gets hurt, and people don’t really watch. Not very entertaining.

VA a no-show so Lowe’s workers fix wheelchair Associated Press

NEW YORK — What the Veterans Administration failed to do for double amputee Michael Sulsona in two years, some New York hardware store workers delivered in an hour: They fixed his

on are the ones with drug addiction issues who have burned every last bridge,” Banfield said.

Marysville has also moved to cut down panhandling and drug crimes.

Marysville and Arlington started their Keep the

broken wheelchair.

The 62-year-old Vietnam veteran said he petitioned the VA for a new chair two years ago and received no reply. Then his wheelchair broke last week.

When Sulsona was in a Lowe’s home improvement store on Staten Island, a

bolt on the already wornout wheelchair snapped and a back wheel was about to fall off. Three Lowe’s employees stayed late after their 10 p.m. closing time to do the repair, for free.

“They said, ‘You’re not leaving till it’s like new again,’ ” Sulsona recalled.

The next day, Sulsona wrote a letter to his local newspaper, the Staten Island Advance, to thank the store’s employees.

“I kept thanking them and all they could say was, ‘It was our honor,’ ” he wrote.

“The actions of these three employees at Lowe’s showed

me there are some who still believe in stepping to the plate. ... Someone needed help and they felt privileged to be given the opportunity.”

Sulsona, an ex-Marine, lost his legs in 1971 during an explosion while on patrol.

After his letter to the newspaper, the VA got

word of Sulsona and sent him a brand new wheelchair Tuesday.

Sulsona’s new chair arrived in the wake of months of scandal in the VA’s health care unit over complaints nationwide of long wait times and poor patient care.

Change campaign last year, urging people to say no when asked for money.

It’s important not to give money directly to panhandlers, Banfield and Stedman said. If people can make a living that way, they have no motivation to get off the street.

Drug users, particularly heroin addicts, use panhandling to fund their habit while camping in the woods around town, Stedman said.

“Our problem is that this community is so giving, so these individuals are sometimes making between $200 and $300 a day by panhandling,” Stedman said. “I’ve been barraged by community members, by business members, about the crime that these individuals bring.”

He said police respond to hundreds of call each year at the Walmart in Smokey Point, mainly for shoplifting. Elsewhere, they’ve

found camps in the woods littered with trash and used hypodermic needles.

“It’s just a bad situation,” Stedman said. “The citizens of Arlington are done.

They’ve had it.”

Stedman, who has been Arlington’s Public Safety Director for about five weeks, said each 12-hour shift of police officers handles up to 70 incidents, some of them 911 calls and others initiated by a police officer while patrolling.

About 25 of those incidents are usually related to drug crimes, trespassing, illegal campfires or panhandling. Arlington police plan to roll out a community policing plan in August at National Night Out. The goal is to get people who live and work in Arlington involved with reporting illegal activity and being aware of problems in their neighborhoods.

“We need everyone involved,” Stedman said.

“We want people in on this.”

The updated city codes took effect Tuesday. Banfield said the city has been working since July 7 to educate the homeless about the new restrictions.

“In the past few days, they’re getting harder to find,” Banfield said. “So they’re getting the message that they need to move along.”

including asking Liias to resign.

“We know the mayor has the right to hire,” Lord said.

“At the same time, we set policy. I’m trying to look and see if (Liias’ appointment) is best for the city of Mukilteo.”

Gregerson said she has no plans to ask Liias to resign.

“Monday is a chance for council to continue to get their questions answered,” she said.

Gregerson said the council confirms some department heads and directors, but no positions below department directors.

“I think Marko is the best candidate for that position,” she said. “He’s qualified.

He has the educational background. He knows Mukilteo well. He’s doing a good job in that role.”

Lord said he has no quibble with Liias, who is a former council member himself.

“Personally, I like the guy,” he said.

Lord said he thinks that Liias could do a good job either as the city’s policy analyst or representing the 21st District as its state senator — but not doing both.

Being a state senator means campaigning for office, in addition to serving in Olympia during legislative sessions, Lord said.

The city’s policy analyst job is a full-time position, Lord said. “I believe the citizens want us to pay for a policy analyst, not for a campaign.”

Liias said that being a member of the Legislature is considered part-time work, and many have jobs outside state government — in education, law and other fields that are affected by legislation.

Liias’ city duties include producing the city’s newsletter, responding to questions from the public, overseeing the city’s grants, keeping tabs on garbage, cable and gas contracts, and advising the mayor and department heads.

Liias said he will take unpaid leave when the Legislature is in session. He estimates the salary he will make this year for his city job, which started in May, will be $39,187. Next year, it will be $46,113, he said.

He is paid $42,106 as a state senator.

Liias said he feels his background, which includes a bachelor’s degree in foreign service from Georgetown University and graduate courses at the University of Washington’s Evans School of Public Affairs, are good qualifications.

But some wonder if his friendship with the mayor was nonetheless a factor, introducing an undercurrent of politics to his

Meeting The Mukilteo City Council is scheduled to discuss the hiring of Marko Liias as the city’s policy analyst during a meeting scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. Monday. The council meetings are at 11930 Cyrus Way in Mukilteo.

hiring. Christine Schmalz, wife of Councilman Steve Schmalz, who ran for mayor last year, has called the hiring “cronyism at its finest.”

Liias served on the City Council with Gregerson.

“It’s a small community,” Liias said. “It’s not a surprise that we all know each other. I’m happy to call her a friend.”

The city always has critics, Liias added. “I do think there are a set of people out there who are questioning every decision that the city makes.”

Gregerson said that the policy analyst job came about as part of a reorganization of city government.

That included eliminating the job of city manager. The job of assistant to the city administrator was changed to create the policy analyst position, she said.

Administrative changes recommended by an outside consulting company included creating a management services director in lieu of the city manager’s job, creating a human resources manager job, and creating a third job that was part policy analysis and part city communications, Gregerson said.

The job description for the policy analyst was written in April. The job opening was posted on the city’s website, at the UW’s Evans School of Public Affairs and at the Association of Washington Cities, Gregerson said.

Fifteen people applied.

A human relations manager in the Mukilteo School District did an initial review of applications. Gregerson said she wasn’t involved in the hiring process until the final candidates were selected.

Gregerson thinks that the city will be able to handle Liias’ absence during the legislative sessions, with other members of the executive team filling in his duties. The money saved during that time helped pay for the city’s human resources manager job, she said.

A city attorney who deals with labor and personnel issues has been asked to be at Monday’s meeting.

Lord said he asked for the item to be put on Monday’s agenda so the City Council could come to some conclusion on the issue.

“We don’t want to do anything rash, but we want to understand what it is we can do,” Lord said.

Wildfire emergency in E. Washington Associated Press SPOKANE — Driven by scorching hot temperatures and strong winds, a new central Washington wildfire is threatening hundreds of homes and sending up a towering column of smoke.

The Chiwaukum Creek fire about 10 miles north of Leavenworth had raced across more than 1,200 acres by Wednesday evening and prompted the closure of a 15-mile stretch of U.S. 2.

A Chelan County emergency management spokeswoman said as many as 400 people have been told to leave their homes or cabins and another 800 homes are threatened.

A state of emergency has been declared in 20 eastern Washington counties because of multiple wildfires and temperatures in triple digits. The declaration allows state officials to call up the Washington National Guard. It also directs state agencies to help local governments respond to wildfires.

State officials are worried about extreme fire conditions, including temperatures above 100 degrees and winds forecast at 30 mph in portions of the state east of the Cascade Range. They also worry about a lack of available firefighting resources in the Northwest.

Wildfires also were burning in Idaho and Oregon on Wednesday. A Klamath County, Oregon, wildfire was more destructive than authorities initially believed.

After the fire ignited in the rural Moccasin Hill subdivision near Sprague River, officials reported six houses destroyed along with 14 outbuildings, including barns,

garages and shops.

But fire managers toured the burn area Tuesday because residents said more structures had burned when the fire broke out Sunday Spokeswoman Ashley Lertora said they found 17 primary residences destroyed. They include campers, trailers and fifthwheelers people could live in.

Sixteen outbuildings also burned.

Lertora said a containment line is around the 4-square-mile burn area, and crews are working toward its center, putting out hot spots.

In central Oregon, a highway through the Ochoco

Mountains remained closed by a wildfire Wednesday, but the threat to about 10 scattered homes and ranches eased. Fire officials said the Bailey Butte fire — part of the Waterman Complex fire — had burned more than 2,000 acres west of Mitchell and was moving south into the Ochoco National Forest.

Two other fires near Service Creek and Kimberly brought the Waterman Complex to more than 4,000 acres.

The three fires started from lightning strikes Friday and were burning in timber, grass and brush. They were expected to grow in the hot and windy

weather.

A Type II Incident Management Team — the second highest level — and 428 people were assigned to fight the fire.

In Idaho, fire crews were working to prevent about 18 lightning-sparked fires in rugged terrain in the Boise National Forest from burning all summer.

“If there’s a big wind event, this fire could get a lot bigger,” said Jerry Rohnert, spokesman for the Whiskey Complex fires.

A Type 1 National Incident Management Team took over Wednesday, he said. The fires started Sunday and are listed as the top priority in the region.

Rohnert said smoke prevented air tankers from attacking the fire Wednesday. Two helicopters are making water drops.

The plan, he said, is for firefighters to put out the smaller fires that are 5 acres or less, and then concentrate on three larger fires, all east of Garden Valley.

The largest is about 1.5 square miles. Residents of about 70 homes in the area are under voluntary evacuation. No structures have been reported lost.

Farther north in central Idaho, the lightning-caused Preacher Fire has scorched nearly 50 square miles in two days burning quickly through grass and brush.

Seven groups file charter school plans

By Donna Gordon Blankinship Associated Press

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Anglers get in a little fishing early Wednesday morning at Ship Creek in downtown Anchorage, Alaska.

SEATTLE — Seven groups have submitted proposals to open charter schools in Washington, in the second round of a new process to bring these independent public schools to the state.

The four proposals to the statewide Charter School Commission is smaller than last year’s 19 applications to the group.

Three other applications have been submitted to the Spokane School District, which is authorized to approve its own charters.

Spokane also received three applications last year.

In January, the statewide commission voted to approve the first seven applications for charter schools. Another school was approved through a separate process in Spokane.

Washington’s first charter school is scheduled to open this fall in Seattle. A private school, First Place, is reopening as a charter school in Seattle. The seven

other approved charters are planning to open in fall 2015.

Tuesday was the deadline for the second round of applications.

The four proposals to the commission include a bilingual academy in Clark County, a blended-learning school in Sunnyside in central Washington, a branch of Green Dot Public Schools in south Seattle, and a school in Gig Harbor in Pierce County that would serve both special needs students and others.

The three proposals in Spokane include a school to support deaf and hard of hearing students, an international academy and a branch of a project learning program from California.

Three of the applications — one from Spokane and two from the statewide group — were resubmitted as revised proposals that did not make the grade during last year’s process.

The Spokane district hopes to make its decisions by the end of September. The deadline statewide is Oct. 15.

Pinned under truck, woman uses keys to free leg

By Sheila Hagar Walla Walla Union-Bulletin

WALLA WALLA — Using her keys as a primitive scalpel to cut off her own leg was one of the options Noel Shannon considered the night she lay trapped under her 1996 Toyota truck.

Dying was not.

Now, however, keeping that limb is no longer an option. On Saturday evening, doctors at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle amputated Shannon’s left leg from the knee down.

It was the third attempt to save Noel’s leg, but too much muscle death made the decision for the medical team, her mother, Christa Shannon, said.

Her daughter’s reaction?

“Now her main concern is having a prosthetic running leg,” Christa said.

Noel, 23, was on a photography trip into the foothills that rise where Milton-Freewater, Oregon, gives way to Walla Walla River country. She was returning from capturing images of Umatilla National Forest about 8 p.m. July 5 when she swerved to avoid a deer that ran in front of her truck on Government Mountain Road.

She overcorrected, causing the truck to roll several times before coming to rest on the driver’s side.

Noel was not wearing her seat belt and the impact of hitting that “solid rock” road sent her left leg through the side window, said her boyfriend, Jake Furstenberg.

“So it was outside the vehicle when it stopped rolling.”

Her foot was trapped beneath the door frame, and no tugging could pull it loose.

From that point it was Noel’s

She knew she would have to cut off her leg with her keys, a lot of those were little keys and she knew they were not sharp enough to do so.

— Christa Shannon, mother of crash victim Noel Shannon

“intelligence” and sharp instincts that kept her alive, Christa added.

Noel removed her ring of seven or so keys from the ignition and began trying to dig a trench through the rock under her leg.

After hours of effort, Noel had worked through five inches of the concrete-like surface.

“She was trying to take the rocks she had loosened and put them under the frame of the truck

to raise it in hopes of freeing her leg,” Christa said.

Throughout the night, Noel would later recount, wolves howled. Fear that the smell of blood from her split-open skin would attract the animals haunted the young woman.

Eventually her daughter recognized she was probably bleeding to death, Christa said, her voice breaking at the thought.

“She knew she would have to cut off her leg with her keys, a lot of those were little keys and she knew they were not sharp enough to do so. So she just had to buckle down and just jerk her leg out.”

That action further split the leg and separated her ankle bones, erasing any doubt the bleeding could become fatal, Christa added. Once freed, Noel used her good leg to break the windshield and climb out, her mom continued.

“In the midst of that, she grabbed the floor mat to put under her leg,” Christa said. “It was twisted in a circle below the knee. Then she took off her sweatshirt and tied a tourniquet.”

Scooting her left leg along with aid of the mat, Noel crawled about 15 feet from her pickup See KEYS, Page B2

Hearing addresses string of Alaska inmate deaths Associated Press ANCHORAGE, Alaska — A state legislative hearing to address a recent string of Alaska inmate deaths prompted a call for legislation to establish a third-party independent review of such deaths.

Top officials with the state Department of Corrections attended the hearing Tuesday to answer for the deaths of five young inmates at state correctional institutions between April and June, the Anchorage Daily News reported.

Spectators included mental health advocates, families of dead inmates and correctional officers.

The packed hearing was convened by state

Keys From Page B1

before she collapsed on the roadway.

Too weak to go farther, she was a motionless heap when Dax McReynolds came upon her at about 8:30 a.m. July 6.

The Walla Walla man was with a friend when they spied a “pile of debris” ahead, McReynolds said.

“I saw the truck on its side and for an instant, I thought I should just turn around because there was no way I was getting around it.”

His buddy, however, speculated they were seeing a body, although the black cloth over the heap made it impossible to tell.

Both men are U.S. Army combat veterans, and their

Sen. Hollis French, an Anchorage Republican, in response to calls from constituents.

Among those attending the hearing was Vernesia Gordon, the fiancee of inmate Davon Mosley, who died at the Anchorage jail April 4.

Gordon said that before Mosley’s death, she was repeatedly told by jail staff that she couldn’t see or visit him. She questioned why Mosley wasn’t released after charges against him had been dismissed.

State Rep. Andy Josephson, an Anchorage Democrat who attended the meeting, said he will research the idea for a third-party independent review and consider

introducing a bill for the next legislative session.

DOC officials say the recent deaths aren’t out of the ordinary. According to officials, 10 to 12 people die in Alaska jails each year. DOC Commissioner Joe Schmidt described the medical response to the deaths as good.

Schmidt said that as a result, however, the department has added a unit for women at the Anchorage jail to improve access to round-the-clock care.

Since 2000, a total of 148 people have died in the care of DOC’s care, according to department statistics. Of those, about 61 percent died of trauma, suicide or an “acute medical condition.”

first instinct was that perhaps this was some kind of set up, McReynolds said Friday.

“Then I saw her hand twitch.”

Although he is enrolled in pre-nursing classes at Walla Walla Community College and does work study at Jonathan M. Wainwright Memorial Veterans Affairs Medical Center, McReynolds credits six years spent in the Army and his war experience in Iraq for staying calm, he said.

Noel appeared close to death.

“She already had bees and flies swarming around her,” McReynolds said.

Unable to get cellphone service in the remote area, the men loaded Noel into their rig and headed down the mountain, anxious to reach a spot to call 911, McReynolds recalled.

“But she wanted to go home,” he said. “She said she couldn’t afford the ambulance ride.”

When cell service was available, Noel called her mom. In another few minutes, the two were headed to medical care.

At Providence St. Mary Medical Center in Walla Walla, the artery in Noel’s foot was repaired, although her foot had already died.

She later was flown to the Seattle hospital.

And is now ready to move forward once again, her family said.

The 2009 McLoughlin High School graduate is crazy about riding her Harley Davidson motorcycle, training horses and endurance running, among other things, Furstenberg said.

“She’s very athletic. Very, very.”

Noel knows just being alive is a miracle, he added.

“She’s very happy.”

Myla Mahoney hits a water balloon during practice with the Umpqua Valley Riptide youth softball team in Roseburg, Oregon, on Tuesday.

Assistant coach Aaron Hickey said the balloons were a reward for getting three consecutive hits during batting practice and having a good drill.

NORTHWEST BRIEFLY

Overpasses need repair OLYMPIA — Transportation officials say they’ll need to repair five freeway overpasses that were hit Friday by a dump truck hauling an excavator.

The State Patrol said the dump truck driver was making a delivery from Montesano to Chehalis when the excavator’s boom crashed into the first overpass. The man continued driving on I-5 and the boom hit the other bridges.

Seattle: Spider sighting sets off fire The Seattle Fire Department says a man using a spray paint can and a

lighter to kill a spider in a wall started a West Seattle fire that caused $60,000 worth of damage. No injuries were reported.

Vancouver: Oil terminal zoning A state panel reviewing a plan to build the Northwest’s largest crudeby-rail terminal said the proposed site is properly zoned for the purpose.

The state Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council said Tuesday that zoning at the Port of Vancouver site allows for an oil terminal. Tesoro Corp. and Savage Companies want to build a rail-and-river operation that could handle as much as 380,000 barrels of crude oil per day.

Alaska: Glacierlike mass moving Officials are keeping an eye on a giant glacierlike mass of soil and rock that is moving down a mountain toward the only supply highway to the North Slope. There’s added concern since the trans-Alaska pipeline lies just beyond the Dalton Highway. The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reported the ice mass, dubbed Frozen Debris Lobe A, is about 142 feet from the highway, at mile marker 219. Researchers say it could impact the road in anywhere from three to 10 years. Transportation officials plan to reroute the road.

Happy Birthday: You’ll be determined and anxious to get things done, but impulses must be controlled if you want to reach your goals without setbacks. Use your insight and focus on your dreams as well as the influence and effect you will have on those around you. Your numbers are 7, 13, 24, 28, 31, 39, 46.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t let your emotions stand between you and a good relationship decision.

True Grit American Andrew Talansky guts out a tough ride to finish Wednesday’s Stage 11, C3

MARK MULLIGAN / THE HERALD

AquaSox outfielder Austin Cousino dives for a fly ball in left field Wednesday during Everett’s 1-0 loss to the Salem-Kaiser Volcanoes. He did not make the catch.

AquaSox bats fail to wake up Everett’s hitters manage just three singles in 1-0 loss to Salem-Keizer

By Nick Patterson Herald Writer

EVERETT — The conditions were ideal for Wednesday’s 11:05 a.m. start between the Everett AquaSox and the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes, as sunshine and pleasant temperatures accompanied the large Kids Day crowd at Everett Memorial Stadium.

Unfortunately for the Sox, someone forgot to set the alarm clock for Everett’s bats. Everett managed a paltry three hits while being shut out 1-0 by the Volcanoes in its annual daytime contest.

The AquaSox’s plate struggles were a turnaround from the night before when they slugged four homers in a 7-5 victory over the

Volcanoes. The Sox were hoping Tuesday’s outburst would spark an offense that’s spent much of the season in a deep slumber. But not only did Everett fail to leave the yard Wednesday, the Sox’s three hits were all singles, including one blooper and one infield hit. Everett advanced just one baserunner past second base.

“It was tough getting any offense going today,” Everett manager Dave Valle said. “I don’t know why. We just didn’t get anything going, not a really pretty day for the boys.”

Everett’s hitters proved hapless against three Salem-Keizer pitchers. Starter Nick Gonzalez dominated over six innings, allowing just two hits, a walk and

striking out six to earn the victory.

Dusten Knight relieved Gonzalez and tossed a perfect inning, then Eury Sanchez struck out three during the final two innings and picked up a save.

“They kept us in the game,” Salem-Keizer manager Gary Davenport said of his pitchers.

“We’ve been struggling to get guys on base and score — we get them on base, but we can’t score them. So it was good to see that our pitchers kind of shut them down a little bit.

Factory worker makes it a blue-collar British Open

By Paul Newberry Associated Press

PAUL NEWBERRY / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Spectators take a selfie with John Singleton of England after his television interview at the Royal Liverpool golf club, Hoylake, England, on Wednesday. Singelton, a factory worker, qualified to play in the British Open Golf Championship, which starts today.

INSIDE: Outdoor Outlook, C2

HOYLAKE, England — John Singleton had just finished up a practice round along the Irish Sea when four young girls approached him from the other side of the fence.

“Are you famous?” one of them asked.

“I’m playing in the Open,” Singleton replied, trying to keep a straight face. “That’s pretty famous, ain’t it?”

Actually, there’s no more improbable player at Royal Liverpool than this 30-year-old factory worker, who lives 10 minutes down the road and qualified for the British Open on his very first try.

Singleton strolled around the

course Wednesday with two-time major champion John Daly and PGA Tour regular Dustin Johnson, a pair of Americans who didn’t know the stunning back-story of the real-life Rocky in their group.

Johnson introduced himself on the first tee but didn’t inquire further until they got to the third hole.

“Do you play on the European Tour?” Johnson finally asked.

“No,” Singleton replied, “I work in a factory.”

He is the epitome of why this tournament is called the “Open,” a guy with no resume to speak of playing his way into golf’s oldest championship. This is the sort of rags-to-riches stuff normally reserved for the movies, the nobody who becomes somebody

against all odds.

Singleton’s real job — at least for now — is at a resin factory not far from Royal Liverpool. He holds down the 8 a.m.-to-4:30 p.m. shift at Advanced Electrical Varnishes, where he drives a forklift and mixes the resin, a thick compound used as a waterproof coating for wiring, circuit boards and other electrical devices.

“He does a full job for us,” said his boss, Jonathan Kemp, who’ll be at the course to cheer Singleton on and gave all the employees a paid holiday so they could attend.

After Singleton gets off work, he usually heads to a local golf course to practice for several more hours — especially in the summer, when the sun hangs in the sky until nearly 10 o’clock.

othing’s in the pipeline just yet, but it’s looking more and more by the day that there, indeed, will be a recreational sockeye season on Baker Lake.

“Obviously the fish are late, but they seem to be coming in now,” state Fish and Wildlife Department biologist Brett Barkdull said on Tuesday. “I feel more positive about the possibility of a season on Baker Lake and, in fact, we could be on the brink of a fishery by this weekend, if the numbers keep building.”

The sockeye counts in the trap at Lower Baker Dam picked up significantly to between 200 and 500 daily, on about July 4, including 203 fish last Saturday and 314 on Sunday. Then, on Monday, “we had a good day,” Barkdull said — just under 1,400 sockeye hit the trap.

The cumulative total collected through Sunday was 3,253 salmon, and the total transferred to the lake through Monday was 1,180. Barkdull has his broodstock now, and transfers of fish to Baker Lake will increase. His rule of thumb for the number of sockeye needed in the lake for a “decent” fishery is about 3,000 fish, he said: “Although that’s just my opinion; others may have different ideas.”

The lake opened to sockeye fishing on the 10th, so when you feel there are enough salmon in the lake to provide a fishery, hit the water.

Anglers can follow the trap numbers, updated three times a week, by going to the agency’s website: www.wdfw.wa.gov/ fishing, left click on “fishing reports, stocking reports and fish counts;” then scroll down to “fish counts” and click on Baker River sockeye.

Meanwhile, fishermen are

Catch crabs, help a charity.

The second edition of Eddie Adams’ Puget Sound Speed-Crabbing Derby takes place Saturday at the Port of Everett ramp and the Everett Marina J-Dock. The event is free and derby sponsors have agreed to pay $2.50 to the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance for every pound of crab weighed in by contestants.

The idea, basically, is for a twoto four-person team to catch and weigh in two limits — 10 crabs. The teams are judged by the total weight of their catch, and by how quickly they land their 10 crabs.

gearing up. Kevin John, at Holiday Sports in Burlington, said a good, basic rig would look something like this: a size “0” Big Ring dodger in chrome (but white, 50/50 and purple haze are also good choices), followed by a 11⁄2- or 2-inch mini squid in pink or hot pink, with two 2/0 red hooks on a 25- to 30-pound leader between 9 and 14 inches in length. Before dropping that setup in the lake, tip the top hook with the tail of a pink or purple coonstripe shrimp and douse the whole thing in your favorite shrimp or krill scent.

Then you’re loaded and locked.

But here’s the real deal, friends. If all the above seems a little iffy, you might prefer to keep your eye on the Lake Wenatchee sockeye fishery. Jeff Korth, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife’s Region 2 fish manager in Ephrata, said it’s difficult to believe the number of salmon being counted over Tumwater Dam on the Wenatchee River.

“They’re really coming in strong,” he said. “this run has set an all-time record for sockeye in the Columbia, and the Wenatchee portion seems to be tracking right along with it.

We’re anticipating 60,000 to 90,000 fish in the lake, and that’s a really big deal.”

Korth said a regulation package for a Lake Wenatchee opening is going through

the two video links on the “Home” page to learn about the event. For more information, send an email to ask@speedcrabbing.com.

The prize pool includes an Ace Trap Puller; two nights at the Inn at Port Gardner; a King Kooker cooking package; Protoco Tunnel Crab Traps; a Yeti 45-quart cooler, and more.

Everything happens at J-Dock, Adams said. Launch at the Port of Everett ramp, turn left, down channel, then left again into the marina, and look for the speedcrabbing signs and J-Dock. Check in, surrender your ticket, and you’re in business.

channels in Olympia this week, and if it gets signed off, it will open the fishery this weekend, with a 6 (that’s 6) fish limit and two more weeks than usual on the top end of the run, while the sockeye are in prime shape.

In the past, the season opened aroung Aug. 1, Korth said.

Watch for an announcement on the agency’s website, www. wdfw.wa.gov/fishing, then regulations and seasons, then emergency regulations.

The fishing area is at the upper end of Lake Wenatchee, off the mouths of the tributary rivers.

Parking at launch spots up the lake is limited, however, so most fishers launch at the state park ramp on the south end, and run uplake.

The Lake Washington sockeye situation is a lot less rosy. As of Sunday, the cumulative total of fish counted at the Chittenden Locks was just 30,900. That’s out of a forecast of about 167,000 sockeye total — well under the needed spawning escapement goal of 350,000.

Doesn’t look good.

A few salmon fishermen have been prospecting for sockeye in the San Juan Islands, according to Kevin John, from a huge number of fish predicted to be coming back to the Fraser River.

“It’s a little too early yet for that action,” John said. “Usually it doesn’t get going until the last week in July or the first part of August.”

Stephenson heading to the Hornets Associated Press CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Controversial free-agent shooting guard Lance Stephenson has agreed to a $27 million, threeyear deal with the Charlotte Hornets, according to a person familiar with the contract.

He is expected to be introduced at a press conference Friday.

Stephenson wrote on Twitter: “Indy, I had a great 4 years.

Thank you Larry Bird, the fans, my coaches and teammates for the incredible experience. I will never forget any of you! I now have to look to the next phase of my career and the wonderful opportunity to continue to grow as a player and as a person in Charlotte! I’m excited to play

for this franchise and the fans!! (hash)buzzcity.”

Stephenson is coming off his best NBA season, averaging 13.8 points, 7.2 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game. He led the league with five triple-doubles.

Pacers get Stuckey LAS VEGAS — A person with knowledge of the situation tells The Associated Press that the Indiana Pacers have agreed to terms with free agent guard Rodney Stuckey on a one-year deal to help replace the departed Lance Stephenson.

Stuckey and the Pacers came to the agreement on Wednesday after the Charlotte Hornets swooped in to land Stephenson. Terms of the deal, which was first reported by USA Today, were not immediately available.

Stuckey averaged 13.9 points last season, his seventh season with the Detroit Pistons.

With Stephenson gone, Indiana was in desperate need for some offensive help. The Pacers also brought in veteran C.J. Miles to add some shooting earlier this month.

Warriors, Rush agree on deal OAKLAND, Calif. — Brandon Rush and the Golden State Warriors ha agreed to a two-year, $2.5 million contract Wednesday. Rush’s agent, Mark Bartelstein, said the small forward will hold the option in the second year of the deal.

Rush was Golden State’s top reserve and best perimeter defender during the 2011-12 season before tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in the team’s 2012-13 home opener. He was traded to Utah last summer as part of a salary shedding move that allowed the Warriors to sign Andre Iguodala away from Denver.

Rush played just 38 games for the Jazz last season after returning from that devastating knee injury.

There likely will be anglers pursuing sockeye in the islands, in part at least because of a very slow start to the summer chinook fishery there.

“It’s been a lot slower than most of us would have anticipated,” John said, “and very spotty as well. I heard that the Bellingham Derby over the weekend weighed in about 175 fish, which would be fewer than usual for that event.”

John said Rosario Strait has been the best, early, and such spots as Point Lawrence, Thatcher Pass, Eagle Point to Pile Point on the outside of San Juan Island, plus the Waldron Island/ Pesident Channel area.

Bait has been small and sparse, John said, with a lot of dogfish activity, forcing fishermen to go to smaller lures such as the 2- and 3-inch Kingfisher and Coho Killer spoons, and needlefish squids.

Washington Outdoor Women Now in its 17th year, WOW is exercising its mission to engage the next generation.

“We are bringing together women and girls (ages 9-12) for a weekend of fishing, hunting and outdoor skills education — traditions that will be passed on for generations to come,” director Ronni McGlenn said.

Cowboys release backup QB Orton Associated Press IRVING, Texas — Quarterback Kyle Orton was released Wednesday by the Dallas Cowboys, an expected move after Tony Romo’s backup was a no-show during offseason workouts.

Orton skipped the workouts amid reports that he was considering retirement. He was subjected to about $70,000 in fines for failing to report during the offseason and missing the mandatory minicamp in June. The Cowboys report to training camp next week with Brandon Weeden as the backup quarterback and Caleb Hanie also on the roster.

By releasing Orton, the Cowboys save his $3.25 million base salary this season. But he will count about $1.1 million to their salary cap this season and about $2.2 million next year.

But Paxton suffered a strained latissimus dorsi muscle on the left side of his back during his April 8 start against the Los Angeles Angels, putting him on the shelf for

who did everything they could to drag Everett to victory.

Medina’s peripheral numbers — eight hits allowed in seven innings and just two strikeouts — weren’t anything special. But the right-hander from Venezuela compensated by keeping the ball down and in the strike zone.

Medina didn’t walk a batter, and 15 of the 21 outs he recorded came via ground balls.

“He was fantastic,” Valle said of Medina. “He gave up that run in

six weeks. He was working his way back to the rotation in late May when he suffered a setback following a rehab start with Class AAA Tacoma when stiffness in his left triceps forced the Mariners to shut him down again.

Now, Paxton is back on track.

He threw a 53-pitch simulated game Saturday in Seattle and reported no complications in the aftermath. Tonight’s start in Everett is the next step in returning to the Mariners.

“The plan is for him to go three innings (tonight) and hopefully he’ll come out, put some good work in, and get ready to get back to the big leagues,” Valle said.

“We’re just looking for him to come out of it with no problems,” Valle added. “He’s coming off that injury and (the Mariners) want to make sure he’s building up his stamina and pitch count.”

If everything goes well with Paxton’s start tonight, he’ll move on to Tacoma to complete his

record dropped to 9-24.

The unusual start time — eight hours earlier than a typical game — seemed to affect the energy level of the players, but Valle wasn’t about to allow that as an excuse.

“They’re young guys,” he said. “If they can’t get up for an 11 o’clock game, they’re in the wrong business.”

Salem-Keizer scored the game’s only run in the top of the first. Seth Harrison led off by

rehabilitation.

Valle also is hoping Paxton’s presence rubs off on the Sox, who have struggled to a 9-24 record with just five games remaining in the first half of the Northwest League season.

New generation emerging at British Open

Dempsey, Yedlin, Martins on MLS All-Star team

By Doug Ferguson

The News Tribune

By Don Ruiz

Associated Press

HOYLAKE, England — Even when he’s not the favorite, Tiger Woods is still the show at the British Open.

Woods earned that attention by piling up majors at a faster rate than anyone in history, and the attention is just as great now because his recent past includes back surgery and his immediate future is more uncertain than ever. ESPN plans to show his entire round online today.

Not to be overlooked at golf’s oldest championship, however, is a new generation of stars.

Rickie Fowler and Harris English will be playing ahead of him.

Two groups behind will be Jordan Spieth and Hideki Matsuyama.

They are among 25 players who share a bond that speaks to the state of golf. Woods has never won a major during their professional careers.

Yes, they saw his dominance on TV. They just never experienced it.

They were not around for the decade when Woods won majors with regularity, sometimes by a record score, sometimes by a record margin. They missed the days that were so Tiger-centric a player couldn’t get through an interview without being asked something about Woods.

“Tiger ruined a lot of guys’ lives,” Charles Howell III, a longtime friend of Woods who lived through those times, said earlier in the year. “He caused a lot of people some sleepless Sunday nights. But he also motivated an entire generation behind him.”

Howell’s point was that while the next generation might have been in awe of Woods, being outside the arena allowed them to study him without getting scarred. They learned from the way he worked. They were more prepared than the generation before them.

The talk at this British Open is that it is more open than ever.

But then, that’s been the case since Woods won his last major six years ago. Since that 2008 U.S. Open, 19 players have won majors, and no one has won more than two. In the 24 majors leading up to his last major, Woods won six, Phil Mickelson won three and no one else won more than one.

“Looking at the different amount of winners in the last five years at the major championships, we’re seeing so many players win,” Henrik Stenson said Wednesday. It’s so competitive. At some point there might have been 20 guys battling out for it. And now it feels like anyone in the field can win if they have a great week. So it’s definitely tighter.”

Stenson, No. 2 in the world and among the favorites this week, will be playing alongside Woods for the opening two days.

“He’s just one of the guys I need to beat if I want to do well this week,” Stenson said. “But it’s a good start if you know you can beat him.”

Woods is playing his first major of the year because of March 31 back surgery. Returning to Royal Liverpool was always the target — he won his third claret jug on these links in 2006 when it was brown and fast, not green and slower as it is this year.

Woods came back sooner than he expected, missing the cut at Congressional three weeks ago in what had the feeling of a 36-hole rehab assignment.

He feels healthy. He feels strong. And he still commands a presence.

That much was clear when Woods played only two holes Wednesday as spectators scrambled for a view. He brings energy and excitement to a golf tournament.

Does he bring intimidation?

The Open is his next opportunity to see if he can regain the mystique that a younger generation has yet to experience. Matt Kuchar, who played a practice round with Woods on Sunday, doesn’t think it will take much. He’s not sure Woods ever lost it.

“The kids today grew up idolizing him,” Kuchar said. “He gets back on form again, I don’t think that intimidation factor is gone at all. These are the kids that grew up watching him and wanting to be him.”

LAURENT CIPRIANI / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Andrew Talansky of the U.S., who finished more than 32 minutes behind stage winner Tony Gallopin, rides alone to the finish line during the eleventh stage of the Tour de France on Wednesday.

Talansky shows true grit

By Jamey Keaten Associated Press

OYONNAX, France — Sitting on a roadside guard rail, wincing and rubbing his lower back, Andrew Talansky looked ready to quit the Tour de France in the middle of Stage 11. The Tour’s Web site and French TV commentators said his race was over. So did some Englishlanguage Twitterati.

The “Pit Bull” proved them wrong.

With a show of tooth-grinding grit and determination to repay his Garmin Sharp teammates who had ridden hard to help him, the 25-year-old Miami native got back up on his bike, wiped his eyes and pedaled on to the finish far behind the pack — and just in time.

Two days earlier, the pain and damage from two recent crashes had already ended Talansky’s outsider hopes of victory. He began Wednesday’s 187.5-kilometer (116.3-mile) hilly ride from Besancon to Oyonnax in eastern France in 26th place — nearly 15 minutes behind race leader Vincenzo Nibali.

The Italian retained the yellow jersey Wednesday by finishing right behind France’s Tony Gallopin, who won Stage 11 in a bold late breakaway.

Talansky, nursing a sore back, had bad luck compound his misery early in the stage: He blew a tire and got left behind.

Because he was no longer in contention to win the Tour in Paris on July 27, his teammates didn’t wait for him.

Straining, he couldn’t make up the difference alone, but pressed on anyway.

When Talansky, clearly in agony, stopped on a roadside and sat down with about 60 kilometers left, Garmin-Sharp sporting director Robert Hunter — who as a rider became the first South African to win a Tour stage — and two other staffers pulled up in a team car.

“He thought that maybe it was time to stop the Tour. He sat down ... thought about it,

Wednesday at a Glance OYONNAX, France — A brief look at the 11th stage of the Tour de France on Wednesday: Stage: A hilly 187.5-kilometer (116.3-mile) route in eastern France from Besancon to Oyonnax with four moderate climbs toward the end.

Winner: French rider Tony Gallopin won in a time of 4 hours, 25 minutes, 45 seconds.

Yellow Jersey: Italian rider Vincenzo Nibali kept the yellow jersey — maintaining his lead of 2 minutes, 23 seconds over Australian Richie Porte and 2:47 over Spaniard Alejandro Valverde.

Today’s stage: The 12th stage is an undulating 185.5-kilometer (115-mile) route from Bourg-en-Bresse to Saint-Etienne in southeastern France.

Associated Press

and decided to continue,” said Hunter. “If he wants to fight on and get to the finish, the only way we’re going to get there is by fighting. That’s his character and the way the team works as well.”

Hunter continued to pour on encouragement from the car as Talansky resumed riding.

Under race rules, Talansky — who would’ve liked to be a journalist if not a cyclist — faced a deadline: Because it was a hilly, relatively long stage, he had to finish with a time no more than 14 percent greater than that of Gallopin. It added up to roughly 37 minutes, race officials said.

He finished 32:05 back, with a 20-second penalty for taking

too long a pause.

Other riders might have calculated that it would be wiser not to risk worsening an injury so early in a promising career.

But Talansky was running on determination, and wanted to make it through the stage.

“I just wanted to make it to the finish ... for my team and the work that they’ve put into this Tour for me,” he said at the team bus after straggling to the finish. “I didn’t just want to stop and go home that way after everything they’ve done for me.”

Talansky was the last of the 179 remaining riders in a pack already depleted of its two biggest stars to crashes. Now, he’s 44th in the overall standings — more than 47 minutes behind Nibali. Because he made it, he and the team were able to think over whether it’s really worth it for him to continue in a similar Stage 12 today.

“Now we can sit down tonight and make a proper decision and see where we can go with this,” said Hunter.

Similar to Wednesday’s ride in length and layout, Stage 12 is a 185.5-kilometer (115-mile) ride over four small- to mid-sized climbs from Bourg-en-Bresse to Saint-Etienne.

The “Pit Bull” — so dubbed by sharp-tongued GarminSharp team boss Jonathan Vaughters — had already flared his fighting spirit after Stage 7, when he tumbled to the asphalt after bumping into Australia’s Simon Gerrans while trying to get out of the way of a frenzied final sprint: Not the American’s forte. Talansky demanded an apology, which he didn’t get publicly.

Talansky had come into the Tour fresh off an impressive win in last month’s Criterium du Dauphine stage race — a key Tour warm-up — notably defeating 2013 Tour champion Chris Froome and two-time Tour winner Alberto Contador.

They both crashed out of this Tour due to injury, meaning this Tour will have a first-time winner.

The Seattle Sounders Clint Dempsey, DeAndre Yedlin and Obafemi Martins have been voted onto the MLS All-Star Fan XI announced by the league Wednesday.

The trio gives Sounders FC the highest representation of any team.

This is the third All-Star designation for Dempsey, although his first as a Sounder. It is the second such honor for Yedlin, and the first for Martins.

Here is the team as decided by fan vote on the MLSsoccer.com website and through Twitter: goalkeeper Nick Rimando (Salt Lake); defenders: Matt Besler (Kansas City), Omar Gonzalez (Los Angeles) and Yedlin; midfielders: Kyle Beckerman (Salt Lake), Michael Bradley (Toronto), Dempsey and Graham Zusi (Kansas City); forwards: Landon Donovan (Los Angeles), Thierry Henry (New York) and Martins.

Those players will not necessarily be on the 20-man game-day roster, which will be selected by All-Star coach Caleb Porter of the Portland Timbers and commissioner Don Garber.

Porter will name 18 players based on availability and tactical considerations, while Garber will add two. However, all Fan XI players are considered among the 32 AllStars mandated by the league’s collective bargaining agreement.

The actual game-day roster will be announced Saturday during ESPN2’s broadcast of the Kansas City-Los Angeles match.

Those MLS All-Stars will face German power Bayern Munich at 6:30 p.m. Aug.6 at Providence Park in Portland.

M’s to salute Oso residents and rescuers Associated Press SEATTLE — The Seattle Mariners say they will pay tribute to the resilience of the people who live between Arlington and Darrington, as well as volunteers and first responders to the Oso mudslide.

During the July 26 game against the Baltimore Orioles, the Mariners will also hold a moment of silence for the 43 people who died in the mudslide.

The team will also hold a pregame ceremony to honor the many individuals, agencies and charitable organizations that responded to the disaster.

Snohomish County Sheriff’s Deputy Terry Haldeman has been chosen to throw out the ceremonial first pitch. He established the first command post east of the slide and helped bring order in the first hours and days of the emergency.

“I want to get a sponsor so I can continue to play golf,” he said, knowing he would likely need to make the cut for that to happen. “I have to work full time. I want to play full time.”

Not that he’s not thankful for his blue-collar job.

“If it doesn’t go well this week,” Singleton said, “at least I have a job to go back to.”

He needed a bit of good fortune to make it this far.

After missing out in regional qualifying by a single shot, his hopes seemingly dashed, Singleton got in as an alternate when another player dropped out. He took advantage of the second chance in final qualifying, claiming the last spot into the Open by winning a sudden-death playoff, using a pair of wedges that were borrowed from a friend.

“It’s cool, isn’t it?” Singleton said, sounding like it still hasn’t quite sunk in.

He’s no weekend hacker, of course. Singleton attended Rend Lake College, a two-year

school in Illinois, and finished seventh in the U.S. junior college championships. But his professional dreams were derailed by serious injuries to both knees, which required a total of six operations and pretty much kept him off the course for three years.

There comes a time when one must get on with the rest of his life, a reality that Singleton seemed to acknowledge by taking the factory job. But he never lost his love of golf, and with his knees healed and the British Open right in his own backyard, he mustered up the 140-pound qualifying fee (about $240) to give it a shot.

Talk about hitting the jackpot.

Singleton hopes this is only the beginning.

“This is just a steppingstone for me,” he said.

Singleton has never played in front of thousands of people, but any nervousness was eased by all the locals he knows around the course. On just about every hole during the practice round, he went over to the ropes to shake hands with an old friend or acquaintance.

When a reporter asked what

it was like to play with Daly and Johnson, someone in the gallery shouted, “You should ask them what it’s like to play with John Singleton!”

“He’s going to win!” another yelled.

“Go get ‘em, Singy!” a third person bellowed.

When Singleton was done for the day, the opening round less than 24 hours away, he headed up to a ridge overlooking the sea for a television interview.

That’s where he was spotted by those four girls, hanging out just beyond the course in hopes of meeting someone famous.

“What’s your name?” they asked.

“John Singleton,” he answered.

That was met with squeals that would’ve put Beatlemania to shame.

“I saw you on news!” one of the girls said excitedly. “Can we get a selfie?”

Singleton posed with each of them, clearly savoring every step of this implausible ride.

Maybe he’ll be his own boss by the time the weekend is over.

“I hope he doesn’t turn up on Monday,” Kemp said. “That will mean he’s done good.”

NEW YORK — Derek Jeter’s final All-Star appearance has helped boost television ratings for the game.

The American League’s 5-3 win Tuesday in Minneapolis averaged more than 11.3 million viewers on Fox, up from 11 million for last year’s game at the Mets’ Citi Field in New York. The rating was up 9 percent for the first full half-hour, when the retiring Yankees shortstop first stepped to the plate.

The network said Wednesday that the 7.0 fast national rating was the highest since 2010. The 2012 edition set a record low with a 6.8.

Ratings represent the percentage of homes with televisions tuned to a program.

Royals acquire Frasor ARLINGTON, Texas — The Kansas City Royals have gotten some relief help, acquiring veteran reliever Jason Frasor from the Texas Rangers for Class AAA right-hander Spencer Patton. The Rangers will assign him to Triple-A Round Rock.

Frasor was 1-1 with a 3.34 ERA in 38 appearances this season, his second in Texas. The right-hander spent nine seasons with Toronto (200412), returning to the Blue Jays after being traded to the White Sox in July 2011 and finishing that season in Chicago.

In 624 major league games, Frasor is 31-35 with 36 saves and a 3.65 ERA. The injury-plagued Rangers (3857) went into the All-Star break with the worst record in the major leagues.

They were 21 games behind AL Westleading Oakland.

Seahawks, Sherman honored at ESPY Awards Associated Press LOS ANGELES — The Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks won best team at the ESPY Awards and their AllPro cornerback, Richard Sherman, won breakthrough athlete on Wednesday night.

Kevin Durant won two ESPY Awards, including male athlete of the year, and mixed martial arts star Ronda Rousey earned female athlete honors, becoming the first UFC fighter to claim a trophy in the biggest category at the show honoring the year’s best performances.

Durant also won best NBA player, ending LeBron James’ two-year reign in both categories.

“Everybody helped me out along the way,” the Oklahoma City Thunder star said.

“My beautiful mom watching at home who couldn’t be here. My favorite teammate, Russell Westbrook.”

Durant beat out fellow male athlete nominees Miguel Cabrera of the Detroit Tigers, Peyton Manning of the Denver Broncos and boxer Floyd Mayweather during the show hosted by rapper Drake at the Nokia Theatre.

Rousey, the first female UFC champion, won over WNBA star Maya Moore, Olympic champion skier Mikaela Shiffrin and Brenna Stewart of national champion Connecticut.

The winners in most categories were determined by fan voting.

Chris Wolfe moved nearly 100 tons of rock and gravel in creating, with wife Tonnie, a backyard garden at the family home in Edmonds.

makeover

Plenty of hard work and sweat helped an Edmonds couple overhaul their back yard into a serene and beautiful garden.

By Gale Fiege Herald Writer

Chris Wolfe had design help from his artist wife. His garden, however, is definitely a guy project, one that required architectural engineering to fix a major drainage problem and a lot of sweat installing nearly 100 tons of rock and gravel.

Chris and Tonnie Wolfe will show off their garden from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday as part of the 19th annual Edmonds in Bloom Garden Tour.

Seven gardens are on the tour, including a quiet woodland in Woodway, a Tuscan-style garden with westerly views in Edmonds and a fabric artist’s garden in Meadowdale, where the plants are often used to make dyes.

The tour offers a representation of the diversity of gardening in the Puget Sound climate, organizers said.

The Wolfes are happy to be part of the tour, which helps fund garden projects

in the city and provides scholarships to horticulture students.

Only one element of their garden was there when the Wolfe family moved into their suburban home 30 years ago, and that big cedar tree still plays an important role in the all-season garden by filtering sunshine and soaking up extra moisture.

After a big snowfall in the late 1990s, the Wolfes realized that storm water run off from neighboring properties was pooling in their yard and even in their crawl space under the house.

Chris Wolfe’s solution was a 170-foot French drain system and the rehabilitation of his soil.

This required breaking up the clay dirt on the property and mixing it with lots of compost.

Rocks and gravel were trucked in.

The plants were put in the ground when they were small. One two-foot Japanese See GARDEN, Page D3

Oddball jugs almost as weird as temperance

A

CROCKER FARM AUCTION

The figures on this Anna Pottery vase made in the 1860s give a message about the Civil war, slavery and the evils of alcohol. It sold for $69,000 at a Crocker Farm auction in Sparks, Md., after 27 bids.

rtists often express political ideas in their work, and many years later, collectors have trouble understanding the politics.

Kirkpatrick/Anna pottery worked from 1839 to 1896 in Illinois and made pottery jugs and other useful containers. But they also created some very strange jugs. Pottery pigs marked with railroad routes were made in the 1870s and 1880s to give to politicians, important owners or employees of the railroads. Those pigs sell today for about $12,000 up to a record price of $35,000.

But mysterious “Temperance” jugs were decorated with three-dimensional figures that can be confusing to someone from the 21st century.

|

One spectacular salt-glazed jug, 10¼ inches high, was made with more than 18 applied designs representing the Civil War, slavery and the drinking of alcohol. There is a bust of a Union soldier with a goatee being bitten by a snapping turtle. The rear end of a man in red pants “going in” probably is a reference to the evils of alcohol that “trap” him in the whiskey jug. One of the many snakes on the jug is eating a thin, bearded man. The head of a man, perhaps Abraham Lincoln, is shown near an eagle. The head of a black man and loose pottery chains represent slavery. A man smoking a pipe and drinking from a mug, and a classical figure of a woman holding a lyre still are unidentified.

The jug is well-marked, with the words “from Kirkpatrick Anna Pottery, Anna Union Co, Ills.” It may be the most amazing of all of the Anna Pottery message pieces, and it sold at a Crocker Farm auction in Sparks, Md., for $69,000 in March 2014.

Antique rugs might not be very old

By Elaine Rogers Fort Worth Star-Telegram

Persian carpets and other “rugs of the East” are firmly established as elegant design elements — subtle and often-unheralded — that loudly whisper refinement and good taste.

Historically, many of us think of them in terms of the imagery of medieval Europe: They were considered great status symbols in the 1500s and, some 200 years beyond, were too precious to put on floors; instead, they adorned tables, chests and walls.

But the story of Oriental rugs goes back so much farther: try 3000 B.C., when Nomadic tribes in Mongolia and Turkey used hair from their camels and sheep to weave carpets to keep their earthen floors warm, and 1000 B.C., when rugs with an impressive 300 knots per square inch were already in existence.

In Persia, especially, the artistry of the carpet developed so much that, today, a dizzying variety of distinctive patterns and styles is linked to at least 40 rug-making Iranian cities or villages.

A true Oriental rug is “hand-knotted,” woven one knot at a time, a tribute to the patience and craftsmanship of the weavers.

The terms “hand-tufted” and “handmade” are misleading. Those

RICHIE STEFFEN / GREAT PLANT PICKS

Hydrangea macophylla of ‘Merritt’s Supreme’

GREAT PLANT PICK What: A compact and dense grower, Hydrangea macrophylla or ‘Merritt’s Supreme’ is a choice addition to the smaller garden.

Why: The stocky thick branches and dense foliage create a full looking deciduous shrub maturing to about 4 feet tall. The large trusses of flowers are very prolific with rich coloring from dark indigo-blue to deep rose-purple.

In autumn, the trusses mature in color to a lovely plum.

This selection holds up well as a cut flower or for drying.

Where: This hydrangea grows best in light to open shade. A location protected from hot sun will keep the foliage and flowers from prematurely fading or scorching. A rich moist to well-drained soil produces the best growth and flowering. Hydrangeas are not drought tolerant and will grow and flower more prolifically with regular summer watering. The typically acidic soils of the Pacific Northwest will cause the variable flowers to bloom with purple and blue tones. For pink flowers, add lime to raise the pH and sweeten the soil.

Size: Reaches a heights of 4 feet with a spread of 5 feet.

can still be machine made. It is said that the average weaver ties as many as 10,000 knots per day, and a 9-by12-foot Persian rug that has 500 knots per square inch takes four or five artisans, working six hours a day and six days a week, about 14 months to complete.

“Rugs are like paintings,” said Ben Shabahang, owner of Shabahang Empire Rugs in Southlake, Texas. “It’s

art. But that doesn’t mean you tuck it away and ignore it. These types of carpets are meant to be used. Used and worn and enjoyed forever.”

In Iran and other corners of rugmaking countries such as China, Nepal, India, Pakistan and Afghanistan, some merchants use urban roadways to age rugs prematurely because the “antique” rugs command higher prices.

Meanwhile, industry insiders say it’s almost impossible for a layperson to tell the difference between an antique rug and a newer one that’s been antiqued.

“A lot of good antiquers are just that good,” Shabahang said. “They can make a new rug fresh off the loom look very, very old, and no one can tell the difference. That’s why you’ve got to deal with people who are reputable and who you trust.”

Mistakes or artistic deviations, so-called “flaws,” are a hallmark of Oriental rugs: Two women from a nomadic tribe might start weaving a rug from opposite sides, adding their own touches as they work, while weavers of Persian prayer rugs are known to purposefully weave irregularities into their creations — a little speck of bright orange in a rug full of browns, for instance — as a reminder that humans cannot duplicate the perfection of Allah.

The art of outdoor living Outdoor living is much more than just a passing trend. Long gone is the era of the picnic table and folding lawn chairs set out in the middle of the yard. These days, the deck is an extension of the home; it is a place to relax, cook, eat and entertain, without any sacrifices in comfort.

JULY IS

BACKYARD SANCTUARY MONTH!

These days, the deck is an extension of the home.

The first rule Outdoor furniture has to be weather resistant. Teak wood is a favorite material, as it is extremely durable. Imitation wicker, made from synthetic fibers, has also been increasing in popularity for several years now. This type of garden furniture is elegant, resistant to the whims of Mother Nature, and easy to clean.

The second rule Garden furniture has to be functional. The modular sofa hides an integrated storage space for cushions; the dining table is extendable; and the cooking area contains all the amenities so you can avoid trips back to the kitchen — cooking grill, sink, side table to store dishes and a small fridge.

The third rule Be willing to pay for good quality. Of

Hardware

course, your budget will guide your choice of garden furniture, but there’s no point setting up an outdoor living area if it will all be sun faded and falling apart after a season or two. Bistro style metal furniture is fine for happy hour on the deck, but if you’re really planning on spending the summer outside, it is worthwhile to purchase durable and comfortable furniture.

Decorating essentials Décor plays an important role on a deck.

Just as in the rest of your home, the design of your outdoor oasis should reflect your tastes.

Opt for rugs, cushions, and accessories that show your furniture off to advantage. Add a trellis or create a screen with plants for more privacy. Use different colored plant pots for garden herbs or to make a pretty annual

flower garden. Hanging pots will also help define the space and create an impression of privacy.

Lighting is another important element for outdoor living. Relaxed, soft lighting will help you to create a cozy atmosphere on long, hot summer evenings. You’ll also have to think about installing practical lighting as well, so you can see what you’re doing. A variety of wall lamps, stylish lanterns, candlesticks, and solar torches will let you create a comfortable environment that meets all your needs. Make sure you install adequate lighting near steps and pathways leading to the backyard.

And by the way, don’t forget to plan a winter storage space for outdoor living gear.

Garden: Many maples featured

LIVING SMART | Angie Hicks

Easy projects to spruce up your mid-summer landscaping H aving a mid-summer’s dream of better landscaping? Here are three easy projects to help realize your vision: Mulch makeover: Fresh mulch will liven up your flowerbeds and areas around trees. Landscapers and garden centers sell mulch in bulk or by the bag. The most standard bag size is 2 cubic feet.

Bulk mulch sells by the cubic yard, which is equal to 13.5 standard-sized bags.

If your yard is like most American lawns, you have about one-third of an acre, most of it grass.

Making your planting beds pop can cost as little as $2 a bag ($19 per cubic yard) or as much as $7 per bag ($47 per cubic yard) depending on the quality and type of mulch.

Most landscapers say buying in bulk is cheaper in the long run, even with delivery fees of about $50.

Many landscapers will also install it. If you’re going to spread it yourself, have the load dumped onto a tarp for easier cleanup.

Cut corners (and curves): Edging a flowerbed, tree or other landscaping element can boost its aesthetic appeal.

Following the shape of the bed, cut into the surrounding lawn about 6 inches with a shovel or other sharp tool. The edge can stand alone, or you can fill it with brick, stone or other material, at a cost ranging from $4 to $15 per square

maple at planting is at least 12-feet tall now.

What visitors will see Sunday is a serene, mature, foliage-focused garden that incorporates concrete decks and patios, gravel walkways, hillside berms and a colorful and texturally appealing collection of trees and shrubs.

It’s not exactly a low-water garden, but with the maturity of the plants, it’s close. No pesticides are used and the mulch is all natural, Chris Wolfe said.

“It’s really a low-maintenance garden,” he said.

About 20 years ago, Tonnie Wolfe told her husband, who is still working as a nonprofit executive, that he had to have a hobby in place before retirement.

Chris Wolfe, 67, grew up in Woodway where he gardened with his grandmother, so the idea of making plants his hobby was comfortable.

He jumped in.

“I started out as a collector of plants, reading and researching,” Chris said. “Then I got rational.”

Still, plant lovers will enjoy the wide variety in the Wolfe garden.

Chris Wolfe’s plants include many maples, all with distinctive features, including a lion’s mane maple, his favorite Japanese acer, which sports purple-red foliage in fall with orange-red patterns; a striped bark maple that turns from white bark to red with

A layer of fresh mulch will make your flower beds pop — and help suppress weeds from growing. If you have a large area to mulch, it’s cheaper to buy in bulk than in 2-cubic-foot sacks. Just be sure you’re up to the task of moving and spreading 10 yards or so of material.

foot. For a clean look, create some separation between the soil or mulch and the edging material.

Or keep a stand-alone edge sharp by going over it with a shovel or other tool every few months.

Green up your grass: For every inch of grass above the ground, say toprated lawn pros, there’s an inch of roots below. If you cut too close to the ground, roots may die.

Set your mower height so your lawn is trimmed to a minimum of 3 inches.

That will encourage thicker turf that resists crabgrass, among other benefits.

If your dreams are more expansive than these relatively easy do-it-yourself spruce-ups, here are

terms to help match the right pro to your project: Lawn service: Mows, trims, and administers fertilizer and weed killer.

Gardener: Often performs routine chores.

Landscaper: Plants trees and shrubbery; modifies and replaces existing plants and materials; establishes new beds; installs sod or seeds a lawn; and does routine maintenance. Some landscapers offer design services.

Landscape architect: Often works on large, custom projects, providing site plans for drainage and landscaping. Can also do smaller complex projects.

Landscape designer: Provides a blueprint showing placement for

Certified arborist/tree service: Prunes trees and diagnoses and treats disease and pest problems.

Horticulturist: Diagnoses plant diseases and advises on watering and feeding schedules.

Other novel plants include a European beech, a Japanese cedar, an Arizona blue fir, a tulip tree, a Himalayan birch, a Serbian spruce, a golden cryptomeria and a ginko biloba.

In addition to the garden tour, the Wolfes also plan to open their home for the Edmonds Art Studio Tour in September, when Tonnie Wolfe will show her mixed-media paintings and eclectic fiber art.

“In our home and in our garden, we live how we live, not how we think other people think we should live,” she said.

“This is our retreat, our sanctuary.”

Kovels: Wind-up ‘VibroShaver’ isn’t worth very much John Ernest Miller in 1878, and the designer’s wife supposedly was the model for the face. Three Face pattern glass was made until 1892. However, it has been reproduced. Original, early pieces sell for high prices, but reproductions sell for about $100.

Q: I bought a “VibroShaver” at a garage sale and would like some information about it. I have the original box and the instructions, but it doesn’t say who made it or the year it was made. It runs and is in excellent condition. It still has the original price tag of $5. What is it worth today?

A: Vibro was advertised in a 1937 issue of Popular Mechanics magazine as the only non-electric, automatic shaver made. The razor blade is held in the detachable head, which vibrates when the “key” on the front is wound. Shavers are not a popular collectible. Vibro-Shavers with original box sell online for $15 to $20 today.

Q: I have a silver-plated demitasse spoon by Crown Silver Plate Co. The engraving in the bowl of the spoon is of an old battleship. The letters on top read “Battleship Maine,” and underneath the ship it reads “Captain Sigbee.”

The ship sunk in Havana Harbor on Feb. 15, 1898. I’d like to know if this spoon has any value.

A: The battleship Maine was sent to Cuba in January 1898 to protect American interests during Cuba’s fight for independence from Spain.

On Feb. 15, an explosion onboard sank the ship. The cause was never definitely determined. The sinking inspired the slogan “Remember the Maine, to Hell with Spain” and spurred America’s entrance

into the Spanish-American War. To commemorate the sinking, several silver companies made souvenir spoons picturing the battleship in the bowl and the head of Captain Sigbee on the finial at the end of the handle. The name “Crown Silver Plate Co.” was used on silver flatware made

by J.W. Johnson of New York City in 1898. Souvenir spoons like yours sell for about $5.

Q: I have a hobo clown doll that has been in my family since at least the early 1950s. It is 18 inches tall, has a hard-plastic head and cloth body, and a hand crank on the back that produces a laughing sound when turned. The doll has a cloth tag that reads “Gund Mfg. Co., J. Swedlin Inc.” I have tried to learn more about it, and Gund says they have no record of this doll. Can you help?

A: Gund made your clown doll sometime between 1954 and 1957.

German immigrant Adolph Gund started his company in 1898 in Norwalk, Conn.

He retired in 1925 and sold the business to Jacob Swedlin with the understanding that the Gund name would continue to be used. Swedlin ran the

Real Wood Furniture Shoppe Since 1975

company with his brothers.

They changed the company’s name to J. Swedlin Inc. but kept Gund as a trade name. Gund was bought by Enesco in 2008 and continues to make plush toys. The laughing box mechanism inside your clown doll is actually a phonograph-like device that plays a small record. It was patented in 1953. The device was used in millions of toys, including your clown doll and other toys made by Gund and other companies, until 1957. Your laughing clown doll would sell for $25 to as much as $100 if it’s in good condition and still laughs.

Play along with phony 2nd wedding Adapted from a recent online discussion.

Hi, Carolyn; My brother and his fiancee have had issues with her parents during their wedding planning. Basically the parents want the wedding they want — not caring about the wedding she wants.

The two of them decided to elope the week before and then put on a second wedding to maintain the relationship with her parents.

Honestly I feel a little weird about participating in all the pre-wedding stuff (bridesmaid dress, matching shoes, bridal shower, bachelorette, etc.) knowing they will have already been married. I know they’re trying to do what’s best for them, but a tiny part of me just feels like they are not owning their decision and asking others to help cover for them.

I’m pretty annoyed at this tiny part of myself and really want to see this as a way to support both of them! Verbal slap-down, please?

— Bridesmaid Not feeling slappy over this, I’m sorry.

While I don’t love that you’re in on the lie, and I too would like this couple’s chances better if they stood up to her parents openly, I have a lot of sympathy for people who get pushed to the brink by

CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT outside wedding pressures.

Eloping sounds like an attempt to preserve themselves and their intimacy. Since those are paramount in a marriage, that (to my mind) is enough to hang on to as you smile through the clustercuss of bouquets and, ouf, matching shoes.

Re: Eloping: Not trying to be snarky, just mystified: How does eloping solve any of the problems?

— Anonymous 1 (A1) It makes the whole thing theirs again, in a way the interlopers can’t touch. I totally get it.

Dear Abby: On July 26, 2011, you posted an answer to “Jittery Future Bride in Boston.” I am that woman. I had asked you how to get my boyfriend of five years to use my deceased grandmother’s ring as an engagement ring.

I followed your advice and told my boyfriend-atthe-time that I wanted to use a family ring. I spoke with my father about it and checked with my sister to see if she would mind if I used it.

We got engaged seven months ago, and my nowhusband told me he had been hoping to take the stone from my paternal grandmother’s ring, a stone from my maternal grandmother’s ring and one from his family to make a new “joining of the families” ring. We haven’t made it yet, but we all look forward to the special meaning that it will embody. We even plan to make a new setting out of the old setting. It’s a fairy-tale ending. — Blushing Bride In Boston Dear Blushing Bride: Actually, it’s more like a fairy-tale beginning. I love the idea. Thank you for letting me know how things turned out. Not many of my readers take the time to do that. I wish you and your husband a lifetime of happiness together.

Dear Abby: The mother of a friend of mine died recently. I offered my condolences, and since then I haven’t been the same.

I am nine months pregnant, and even though I should be excited and celebrating the anticipated arrival of our baby, all I can think about is that my mother is going to die one day. She’s 52, healthy and happy, but I can’t get it out RIP HAYWIRE

DEAR ABBY of my mind. I have become a different person, crying at the most trivial things and often panicking that Mom’s OK. I don’t think I could make it through if anything happened to her.

Dwelling on this is affecting my relationship with my husband and my friends. How do I stop obsessing over this? — Anxious In Albuquerque Dear Anxious: A discussion with your OB/GYN would be helpful. By the last months of pregnancy, a woman’s body is swimming in hormones. Those increased hormone levels have been known to have a profound effect on a woman’s emotions.

The solution to your problem may be as simple as understanding that once your baby arrives and your hormones return to normal, you will be back on a more even keel. If that doesn’t happen, you may have to talk with a mental health professional — although I doubt that will be necessary. In the meantime, your mother is healthy, happy and about to be a grandmother, so dwell on the positive.

Actor having a real ‘Rush’ on new doctor series Tom Ellis’ character is as brilliant and flawed as Hugh Laurie’s was on “House.”

By Rick Bentley The Fresno Bee

It hasn’t surprised Welsh actor Tom Ellis that his character on the new USA Network series “Rush” gets compared to the role Hugh Laurie played on “House, M.D.” Both are brilliant doctors saddled by a severe drug problem, played by actors from the United Kingdom.

But that is where the comparisons end.

“I know there always will be people who want to compare the shows. The difference is that while both shows are about doctors, ‘Rush’ is more about Rush’s world, his relationships with his friends, with

his father. I think that once people start to watch the comparisons will stop. But I don’t mind it if people need an easy reference point to remember the show,” Ellis says.

“Rush” follows renegade physician Dr. William P. Rush (Ellis) who prefers house calls to hospitals.

He’ll fix any medical problem of the rich and famous as long as they are willing to pay his hefty bill — in cash. The former ER doctor lives out of a hotel suite and travels Los Angeles in a vintage Mercedes.

“It’s a dark show but I’m having a lot of fun making it,” Ellis says.

Sarah Habel plays Rush’s devoted assistant Eve, while Odette Annable portrays former flame Sarah, who makes Rush consider his renegade ways.

Ellis isn’t sure if Rush — who has an enormous

Tom Ellis plays Dr. William P. Rush on the new series “Rush.”

ego and no social filters — is self-destructive or just has a passion for living. What he has figured out is that Rush believes he can “just aquaplane through life.”

Ellis had to find the right amount of unlikability.

“When you play a character like this, you have to love the character yourself.

The Herald’s TV Week is getting a complete face lift.

PRIME TIME 12:00

There has to be something about him you love,” Ellis says. “There must be a justification in your head, a reason why he does what he does. That’s the only way to sympathize with him. A lot of Rush’s charm comes from the way he deals with a situation.

Humor goes a long way in winning people over.”

Look for it coming Sunday, July 20.

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

Some of that humor comes from the character’s horrible taste in music.

Rush is a huge fan of 1980s music, but has trouble listening to it because his car CD player constantly skips.

Having music as a part of the character works for Ellis, who has created playlists for every role he’s played. The 35-year-old actor has a long list of acting credits, many on British TV series such as “The Fades” and “Merlin.” His film credits include “Buffalo Soldiers” and ‘Vera Drake.”

Of all his work, the job that earned him the most attention is an episode of “Doctor Who.” Ellis received more fan mail from that one episode than any other acting job he’s had, including the popular British series “Miranda.”

“Rush” airs at 9 p.m. today on USA Network.

Nick’s ‘Sam & Cat’ gone after one season Associated Press NEW YORK — With costar Ariana Grande hitting it big in the music world this summer, her “Sam & Cat” series on Nickelodeon is about to become history.

The children’s network said Monday that Thursday’s episode of the series will be its last. The series debuted last summer with Grande and Jennette McCurdy.

It was Nickelodeon’s most popular series at times this year.

After an initial order of 20 episodes, Nick doubled it to 40. But the series shut down production in the spring, four episodes short of a full order.

Grande’s single “Problems” has already sold 2.3 million tracks.
