Costs Searchers never lost hope tarnish Boeing profits OSO MUDSLIDE

Search and rescue workers, and local volunteers, continued looking for Kris Regelbrugge.

By Eric Stevick Herald Writer

OSO — They seemed close, tauntingly so.

Clues to Kristine “Kris” Regelbrugge’s whereabouts had been

found in several forms: her driver licenses, her wallet, remnants of the family’s chicken coop and letters she’d written to her Navy commander husband when he was deployed overseas.

All had been recovered from

the massive debris field left behind by the March 22 Oso mudslide.

Her presence seemed everywhere, yet the cheerful wife and mother of five grown children was nowhere to be found.

To sense she was so near, only to have the trail vanish, “that’s what was so disheartening,” Dayn Brunner said Wednesday.

The Darrington man knew firsthand about heartbreak. He lost his sister in the slide. Summer Raffo, 36, was driving on Highway 530 to a job shoeing horses when the slide swallowed her blue Subaru. She was found March 26.

County jail reforms medical care

Overruns on the KC-46 tanker program offset a 52 percent jump in earnings for the aerospace company.

IAN TERRY / THE HERALD

A nurse monitors an inmate’s heart rate during a routine vitals check in the medical housing unit of the Snohomish County Jail on July 17 in Everett.

Inmates undergoing screening, records moving to a digital system EVERETT — Significant progress has been made in reforming medical care at the Snohomish County Jail, and there is still a long way to go, Sheriff Ty Trenary said.

He’s put different people in charge and changed and restricted booking procedures. Each new inmate is supposed to undergo medical screening before being booked.

Police aren’t supposed to use the jail as a makeshift psychiatric hospital, or detox center, something that’s been a national issue for decades, the sheriff said.

“It doesn’t solve the problem,” he said. “It’s a revolving door.”

One major change, the switch to an electronic medical records system, is scheduled to be completed in September, said Edward DaPra, who’s been the jail health services administrator for about 10 months now.

He worked as a mental health professional in the jail for more than three years before that.

The reforms started roughly a year ago, as the jail drew scrutiny for a series of inmate deaths. Several of the deaths led to multimillion-dollar legal claims alleging that inmates died after being denied basic medical care.

Earlier this year, the county paid a $1.3 million settlement to the family of Lyndsey Lason, 27. Lason died

■ “Kites,” inmate letters requesting medical attention, should now be reviewed by a nurse within 24 hours.

■ The sheriff has asked the county council to increase full-time jail nursing staff. The jail has about 17 full-time nurses, and about a dozen temp nurse positions. National experts recommend 40 staff nurses for the jail.

■ A doctor now works in the jail three days a week.

That likely will become a full-time position.

■ Contracts have been cut with cities in neighboring counties and the King and Skagit county sheriff’s offices, to keep average populations lower.

■ New forms to track the monitoring of inmates under medical watch and new medication procedures for inmates undergoing withdrawal.

EVERETT — A lower tax bill, decreasing production costs and higher production rates boosted the Boeing Co.’s profits this quarter.

The 52 percent jump in the aerospace giant’s profits during the past three months was partially offset by cost overruns on the KC-46 aerial refueling tanker program.

Investors weren’t impressed by Boeing’s earnings report Wednesday morning, and the company’s stock initially traded down.

The Chicago-based company paid $272 million to resolve problems related to the tanker’s wiring systems and installation. Nonetheless, the program remains on schedule, Boeing CEO Jim McNerney said during a conference call with investors Wednesday. “The issues at hand are well-defined and understood.”

The KC-46 is based on Boeing’s 767 and assembled at its Everett facility. Four test planes are in production, and the first test flight of an interim nonmilitary platform, the 767-2C, is scheduled for late in the third quarter of this year, said Greg Smith, Boeing’s chief financial officer.

Boeing bid “aggressively” to get the KC-46 program contract from the U.S. Air Force, and never expected to make money on the tanker’s design phase, he said.

That will come down the road as the tanker goes to full production.

McNerney’s and Smith’s comments during the call emphasized that the company is focused on improving production rate and reducing costs.

“The focus keeps turning more to ramping up production and getting airplanes out the door to customers,” said Christian Mayes, a stock analyst with Edward Jones & Co. in St. Louis, Missouri, who rates the stock a hold.

The big headline — a 52 percent jump in quarterly profits — lost much of its luster when

Regelbrugge: Identity confirmed UK’s Man Booker From Page A1

last of 43 people taken by the slide that soggy Saturday morning in the Stillaguamish River valley — was not just important for the family. It was something the community needed, as well, Brunner said.

“I’m seeing a lot of people suffering from PTSD-like (post-traumatic stress disorder) symptoms,” Brunner said. “I wholeheartedly feel that having her out is going to help with a lot of that.”

On Tuesday morning, four months after the Steelhead Haven neighborhood was devoured, Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office search and rescue crews found a body they were convinced was Regelbrugge. New clues led searchers to the rubble of Regelbrugge’s garage, buried about 18 feet underground. It was much deeper than searchers expected it could be.

On Wednesday morning, the Snohomish County Medical Examiner confirmed the body was Regelbrugge, 44. Her husband, Navy Cmdr. John Regelbrugge III, 49, was found by two brothers and

I knew we were going to find her one way or another. It wasn’t a matter of if but when.

two sons in March.

The couple were at their home on Steelhead Drive when the slide hit. Their family couldn’t be reached Wednesday.

Even after the formal search was disbanded April 28, Brunner said he never lost hope that the final two missing people — Regelbrugge and Steven Hadaway of Darrington — would be found.

Sheriff’s office search and rescue workers quietly returned multiple times to look for them.

They would call several local volunteers, including Brunner, who last scoured the dirt about two weeks ago. Hadaway was found May 22.

Brunner knew all of the 43 victims by name. Most he knew well enough for handshakes and hugs. Kris Regelbrugge fit into that category.

He often worked alongside search and rescue sheriff’s deputy Glen Bergstrom, whose home is not far from the slide. Brunner sensed the deputy’s determination. It meant a lot to the volunteers to see him there.

“I knew we weren’t ever going to give up,” he said.

“I knew we were going to find her one way or another. It wasn’t a matter of if but when.”

Brunner’s mother, Rae Smith, had promised Regelbrugge’s children that the search would not end until their mother was found.

“We had to bring everyone home,” she said.

“Nobody could be left behind.”

Locals had backup plans if the sheriff’s search and rescue ever stopped looking. First, they would have a fundraiser to give

money to the largely volunteer operation to continue. If that didn’t work, they planned to go in on their own with heavy equipment.

Smith thought highly of Kris Regelbrugge. It was Regelbrugge who worked with Smith’s son, Anthony, on his schoolwork to make sure he caught up and kept up.

“If it weren’t for Kris, he wouldn’t have graduated,” Smith said.

At commencement in June 2013, Anthony, beaming in his graduation gown, walked down the aisle with friend and classmate Sara Regelbrugge, Kris’ daughter. He handed Sara’s mother a flower, a symbol of his appreciation and acknowledgement of her kindness.

Rae Smith’s promise has been kept, but she knows there will be rekindled feelings of pain for the Regelbrugge family.

“It is always bittersweet,” she said. “I was so glad she was found and that chapter can be closed. But it opens up wounds. You just feel your heart bleeding again.”

Jail: Some inmates have addictions slowly in the jail in 2011 as an infection filled her chest with fluid and collapsed her lungs.

With an average daily population of about 1,000 inmates, the jail is basically a small city, DaPra said.

Most cities of that size have an outpatient clinic, primary care doctors, nurses and psychologists, he said.

“We’re a small city operating in a fishbowl setting, and we need to provide medical care for these individuals,” DaPra said. “Most of these inmates have no preventative care in the community. They’ve used drugs and alcohol around the clock. They don’t have medical insurance. We try to restore them as quickly as possible to medical stability and see them to the

recent visit to the jail. Notes posted on individual cells told staff which inmates were having withdrawals, and how often they should be checked on.

The 30-minute checks are standard, said a nurse working in the unit.

Once the jail switches to electronic records, more than 1 million pieces of paper will need to be digitized, DaPra said.

Most medical facilities switched to digital records a decade ago, he said.

As it stands, inmate patient files are in manila folders, stacked on shelves.

About half of the people in those files are expected to make return visits to the jail, DaPra said. Inmates aren’t always forthcoming about their drug or alcohol use, so having their case history handy can help booking staff make better decisions for placement.

In addition, a metal detector and other more careful screening measures for jail visitors are aimed at keeping more contraband out of the jail, Trenary said. There have been problems with inmates suddenly showing signs of withdrawal days after booking, when drugs and alcohol should be out of their system.

Jail officials also are seeking a new contract for pharmacy services.

Inmates often complain about not getting prescription medicine, such as blood-pressure pills or antibiotics for infections,

particularly during short stays.

The hope is to find an in-state vendor and change the way medications are organized and distributed, to get prescriptions to inmates within 24 hours, Trenary said. Having an out-of-state vendor can contribute to delays, especially during winter storms.

Inmates with acute medical issues, including mental health problems, may be denied for booking if they need hospital-level care, DaPra said.

Most of the new restrictions primarily involve nonviolent misdemeanor offenders.

Jail staff have been asking the arresting officers to stand by a few minutes to make sure inmates are cleared for booking, DaPra said.

That’s different from a long-standing culture of officers leaving once they get their handcuffs back.

There also needs to be more inmate release planning, particularly for the mentally ill, DaPra said. He’d like to see better partnerships with social workers and treatment and transitional housing groups — a way to give newly released inmates a place to go, other than the streets.

end of their term or their court process.”

Roughly 40 percent of people booked into the county jail have histories of addiction, mental illness or both, officials say.

The community heroin epidemic has been a major factor, DaPra said.

In recent weeks, the jail has created an emergency overflow module to house inmates going through withdrawal, to get them out of booking without overwhelming the medical unit, DaPra said. Most inmates coming in with drug problems have been using heroin or heroin mixed with alcohol or other substances.

On some days, more than 50 new inmates are undergoing heroin withdrawal, he said.

Morbidity reviews have been conducted on some of the 10 inmate deaths since 2010, a new process started under Trenary.

Two of the deaths happened this year.

One medical problem identified by reviewing the deaths has been electrolyte deficiency, DaPra said.

That can be a symptom of the excessive vomiting associated with drug and alcohol withdrawals.

The medical unit has switched from a red sugar drink, similar to KoolAid, to a Gatorade-like drink with electrolytes and vitamins.

Gallons of the orange and blue electrolyte drinks were stacked on a cart in the medical unit on a

Prize goes global

By Jill Lawless Associated Press

LONDON — The Americans have arrived in force for Britain’s Booker literary prize.

Five U.S.-based writers are on the 13-book long-list for the prestigious fiction award, announced Wednesday.

This is the first year writers of all nationalities have been eligible for the Booker, previously open only to authors from Britain, Ireland and the Commonwealth of former British colonies.

The roster includes Americans Joshua Ferris, Karen Joy Fowler, Siri Hustvedt and Richard Powers, as well as Irish-born, U.Sbased writer Joseph O’Neill.

Also on the list are Britain’s Howard Jacobson, Neel Mukherjee, Paul Kingsnorth, David Mitchell, David Nicholls and Ali Smith, Ireland’s Niall Williams and Australia’s Richard Flanagan.

Some British writers have expressed fears that the change in eligibility may lead to U.S. dominance of the 45-yearold award, officially named the Man Booker Prize after its sponsor, financial services firm Man Group PLC. Bookmaker William Hill made O’Neill the early favorite to win with “The Dog,” the story of a disillusioned lawyer, followed

by Mitchell for decadesspanning saga “The Bone Clocks,” which will be published in the fall.

Boeing: Boost from tax benefits From Page A1

investors learned that the company got about $524 million in tax benefits this quarter, he said. “It was helped a lot by one-time tax benefits that are not likely to re-occur.”

Boeing did also increase deliveries and lower production costs during the second quarter of the year.

McNerney and Smith highlighted improvements on the 787 Dreamliner, which is assembled in Everett and North Charleston, South Carolina.

Traveled work on fuselage sections has decreased by 30 percent after spiking this spring, Smith said.

“We’ve got to continue to come down the learning curve,” and Boeing is taking steps to stabilize production rate, he said.

Boeing expects to deliver 110 Dreamliners this year. It delivered the first 787-9 earlier this month to launch customer Air New Zealand.

Boeing’s rival, Airbus Group NV, recently renewed the competition for the smaller capacity twin-aisle jetliner market when it committed to developing the A330neo, an overhaul of its existing A330. The new widebody airplane will compete with Boeing’s 787 family.

After its introduction this

month at the Farnborough International Airshow, the A330neo drew 121 orders and options to buy from customers, according to Airbus.

Despite the strong showing, McNerney dismissed any threat the A330neo poses to Boeing sales, saying the American airplane maker’s catalog beats the competition across the twin-aisle market.

“These aren’t pancakes we’re dealing with,” McNerney said. “These are airplanes that produce a lot of value and they’re good.”

Boeing continues to feed its backlog of 5,200 airplane orders worth about $440 billion at list prices, which are often negotiated down.

Replacement demand has been fueling many recent orders, spurred on by high fuel prices and low interest rates for buyers. Those two factors are prompting many airlines to replace older airplanes with more fuel-efficient ones that generate more revenue per passenger seat.

“This industry has not seen this kind of replacement economics since the 707” was introduced in the late 1950s, Smith said.

Medical facilities merger collapses The high cost of switching to electronic record keeping is one reason PeaceHealth and Cascade Valley Hospital won’t be joining forces in Arlington.

By Sharon Salyer Herald Writer

ARLINGTON — It was nearly a year ago that Cascade Valley Hospital, the last independent hospital in Snohomish County, announced plans to join up with

PeaceHealth, a Catholic health care organization.

The move was part of a trend seen both locally and nationally of smaller health care organizations joining up with larger ones with the goal of providing more services at better costs.

The proposed deal has now unraveled, with PeaceHealth saying it had to back out. Cascade Valley is now free to consider other options.

“I can’t tell you how disappointed I am about this,” said Nancy Steiger, chief executive for PeaceHealth’s Northwest Network. An agreement was nearly completed with Cascade Valley when PeaceHealth ran into financial problems caused by the

conversion to electronic medical records, she said.

She said she didn’t know the exact cost to make the switch but it would be in the hundreds of millions of dollars.

PeaceHealth has hospitals and medical clinics in Alaska, Oregon and Washington, including St. Joseph Medical Center in Bellingham.

There were other problems as well. PeaceHealth would have

had to find a way to electronically hook up not only the electronic medical records at the Arlington hospital, but also other systems such financial reporting and human resources reports, Steiger said.

Clark Jones, Cascade’s chief executive, said PeaceHealth told the hospital that it could now take up to two years before the See MERGER, Page A4

EVERETT — Trial began Wednesday for a man accused of encouraging an underage barista to engage in sex shows at his two Everett espresso stands.

Jurors were told that Bill Wheeler Jr., who owned the Grab N Go stands, engaged in criminal conduct to further his “desire to make money even at the expense of a 16-year-old girl.” Wheeler, 31, is charged with sexual exploitation of a minor, a felony.

It is one of the first attempts

by Snohomish County investigators to prosecute one of the owners of the controversial bikini espresso stands.

Prosecutors allege that Wheeler knew the teen barista was underage and was aware that his employees were engaged in illegal sex shows.

The defendant routinely reviewed video surveillance from the stands, Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Jarett Goodkin said Wednesday. Wheeler could review the footage from his cellphone. Detectives also found photographs of the baristas, including of the teen, on Wheeler’s phone, Goodkin said.

Wheeler’s attorney John Henry Browne opted not to give an opening statement on Wednesday, saying he was waiting until after the state presents its case.

Browne previously moved to have the charge dismissed, saying that the cops had no direct proof that the girl engaged in sexually explicit conduct, and if that happened on the job, it wasn’t under

Tourist train derails Associated Press ANCHORAGE, Alaska — A popular tourist train derailed Wednesday in southeast Alaska, injuring up to a dozen passengers.

White Pass and Yukon Railroad President John Finlayson told The Associated Press that the injured were being treated at a clinic in the tourist town of Skagway, about 100 miles northwest of Juneau.

A state Homeland Security official, David Lee, told KTUU-TV that the injuries don’t appear to be

down the money to get on the ballot in order to gain a platform for a cause.

If Snohomish County — and Washington as a whole — breaks the 30 percent turnout bar its scaled in the past it will be an anomaly of sorts, as a new study this year found unusual levels of electoral disinterest in many parts of the country.

The analysis released Wednesday by the head of the Center for the Study of the American Electorate found in the 25 states that have held statewide primaries for both political parties prior to July 1, voter participation is down by nearly one-fifth, compared to the 2010 primary.

Fifteen of those states set new lows for turnout, according to the study.

Nevada and Iowa didn’t break 10 percent and only four states — Kentucky, Mississippi, Montana and Nebraska — finished above the 20 percent level, according to the study.

Curtis Gans, the center director and report’s author, concluded that making voting convenient for voters just isn’t stimulating turnout as envisioned. Four states with Election Day registration — Colorado, Idaho, Iowa and Maine — all had

lower turnout in 2014 as compared to 2010, the report says.

Voting by mail doesn’t do the trick either; Oregon and California use it and each recorded the lowest turnouts ever for a midterm primary, the report found.

Gans cited a litany of factors contributing to why eligible voters don’t vote.

Among them are attack ad-fueled campaigns “that give the citizen a perceived choice between bad and awful”; a lack of voters’ faith in government; the ideological bent of the two major parties; inadequate civic education; and the impact of modern technology which has “made grazing the Internet a substitute for reading the news” for many voting-age adults.

“Many decades ago, citizens turned out to vote out of a sense of civic duty and because of an allegiance to one or other major party,” Gans wrote. “That motivation has largely been lost.”

Whether that’s the case will be known when balloting ends Aug. 5.

A Mountlake Terrace neighborhood lost power for several hours Wednesday, including the Recreation Pavilion center housing the city pool.

The outage was reported about 1:45 p.m., Snohomish County Public Utility District spokesman Neil Neroutsos said. Crews were expected to be working in the area into the evening. As of 6 p.m., about 120 customers were without power, Neroutsos said.

The outage was caused by a tree falling into power lines, he said.

The minor told police she learned from the baristas the only way to make that much money was to do sex shows.

The family has been relying on Facebook and occasional phone calls to keep each other updated, but service is spotty and communication is hard, Vivianne said.

“They’ve all kind of been through (fires) before,” she said. “No one was really shocked at first. It’s eastern Washington. Fires happen.”

But the speed and intensity of these wildfires took them by surprise, she said.

Friends and family told her they had less than 15 minutes to evacuate as winds sent flames and smoke their way.

Arizona botches execution Killer was not pronounced dead until nearly two hours after the procedure began.

Los Angeles Times TUCSON, Ariz. — A convicted murderer in Arizona gasped and snorted for more than 90 minutes after a lethal injection Wednesday, his attorneys said, dying in a botched execution that will probably reinvigorate the national debate over the death penalty in the U.S. Joseph Rudolph Wood III’s execution began at 1:52 p.m. at the Arizona State Prison Complex in Florence. He was declared dead at 3:49 p.m.

Wood had fought in court without success for more information about the drugs that would be used and the

expertise of his executioners.

According to The Associated Press, his last words before the procedure were, “I take comfort knowing today my pain stops, and I said a prayer that on this or any other day you may find peace in all of your hearts and may God forgive you all.”

It took so long for Wood to die after receiving an injection of midazolam combined with hydromorphone that his attorneys had time to file an emergency appeal asking officials to save his life as the drugs apparently failed to fully take hold.

“At 1:57 p.m. (officials) reported that Mr. Wood was sedated, but at 2:02 he began to breathe,” said the legal filing in federal court from public defender Jon Sands. “At 2:03 his mouth moved. Mr. Wood has continued to breathe since that time. He has been gasping and

snorting for more than an hour.

At 3:02 p.m. ... staff rechecked for sedation. He is still alive.”

Wood was not pronounced dead until nearly two hours after the procedure began.

Another attorney for Wood, Dale Baich, witnessed the execution. He told the Los Angeles Times that during the 1 hour and 40 minutes that Wood was gasping and snorting, he could not tell whether Wood was conscious. “There was no sound in the witness room, so we could not hear,” Baich said.

A spokeswoman for the Arizona attorney general’s office, Stephanie Grisham, disputed that account. She said she witnessed the execution, too, and did not think Wood was gasping.

“There was no gasping of air.

There was snoring. He just laid there. It was quite peaceful,” Grisham said.

Baich responded: “My

observation was that he was gasping and struggling to breathe. I couldn’t tell if he was snoring. Even if he was snoring, it took two hours for him to die?”

Attorney General Tom Horne did not issue a statement on the execution, Grisham said, because he did not witness it and hadn’t been briefed. “I really wish people would recognize that the families have been dealing with this for 25 years and remember how the victims of these crimes were brutally murdered,” Grisham said.

The Arizona Supreme Court ordered the Department of Corrections to preserve all the drug labels and whatever was left of the drugs.

Wood, 55, was sentenced to death in 1991 for the August 1989 shooting deaths of his estranged girlfriend, Debra Dietz, and her father, Eugene Dietz, in Tucson.

New rules for oil trains Associated Press WASHINGTON — Responding to a series of fiery train crashes, the government proposed rules Wednesday that would phase out tens of thousands of older tank cars that carry increasing quantities of crude oil and other highly flammable liquids through America’s towns and cities.

But many details were put off until later as regulators struggle to balance safety against the economic benefits of a fracking boom that has sharply increased U.S. oil production.

Among the issues: What type of tank cars will replace those being phased out, how fast will they be allowed to travel and what kind of braking systems will they need?

Accident investigators have complained for decades that older tank cars, known as DOT111s, are too easily punctured or ruptured, spilling their contents when derailed. Since 2008, there have been 10 significant derailments in the U.S. and Canada in which crude oil has spilled from ruptured tank cars, often igniting and resulting in huge fireballs. The worst was a runaway oil train that exploded in the Quebec town of Lac-Megantic a year ago, killing 47 people.

Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx said he expects his department to complete final regulations before the end of the year. “We are at the dawn of a promising time for energy production in this country,” Foxx said. “This is a positive development for our economy and for energy independence, but the responsibilities attached to this production are very serious.”

In a report released along with the rules, the Department

LONDON — Acetaminophen isn’t any better at relieving back pain than a fake pill, despite almost universal recommendations to take the drug, according to the first big trial to test it.

Acetaminophen, sold as Tylenol and Paracetamol, among other names, is recommended in numerous guidelines for back pain, mainly because it has few side effects; past studies have shown it works for other types of pain. But there is no proof it is effective for lower back pain in particular.

In a new study, Australian researchers assigned more than 1,600 people with acute lower back pain to either

Republicans in House cut border plan funds WASHINGTON — House Republican leaders on Wednesday proposed giving President Barack Obama less than half of his $3.7 billion emergency request to address an influx of migrant children at the U.S.-Mexico border. The $1.5 billion draft plan, offered by a group of House Republicans including Appropriations Committee Chairman Hal Rogers of Kentucky, is the maximum amount Republicans said they can support and may be reduced further because members of their own party won’t accept more spending. “That would be too much for me,” Sen. Richard Shelby, the top Republican on that chamber’s Appropriations Committee, said of the Rogers proposal.

NASA short of rocket cash NASA doesn’t have enough money to get its new, $12 billion rocket system off the ground by the end of 2017 as planned, federal auditors say. A Government Accountability Office report Wednesday said NASA’s Space Launch System is at “high risk of missing” its planned December 2017 initial test flight. The post-space shuttle program would build the biggest rockets ever — larger than the Saturn V rockets which sent men to the moon — to send astronauts to asteroids and Mars. “They can’t meet the date with the money they have,” a report author said.

Montana: Plagiarism Sen. John Walsh’s thesis written to earn a master’s degree from the Army War College contains unattributed passages taken word-for-word from previously published papers.

The Democrat said Wednesday he was on medication and being treated for post-traumatic stress disorder from his service in Iraq when he wrote the paper. He said he also was dealing with the stress of a fellow veteran’s recent suicide. Walsh said he made an unintentional mistake and did not intend to plagiarize. Walsh submitted the paper to earn his Master of Strategic Studies degree nearly two years after he returned from Iraq.

Nevada: Rules for voting A BNSF Railway train hauls crude oil near Wolf Point, Montana, in 2013.

of Transportation concluded that oil from the Bakken region of North Dakota and Montana is more volatile than is typical for light, sweet crudes.

Rail shipments of crude have skyrocketed from a few thousand carloads a decade ago to 434,000 carloads last year. The Bakken now produces over 1 million barrels per day, and production is increasing.

The phase-in period for replacing or retrofitting older tank cars that transport the most volatile types of liquids is shorter than the Canadian government’s three-year phased plan. Congress, fearing another Lac-Megantic, has been pressuring regulators to put new safety rules in place as quickly as possible.

The proposal also includes ethanol, which is transported in the same kind of tank cars.

From 2006 to 2012, there were seven train derailments in which tank cars carrying

ethanol ruptured. Several crashes caused spectacular fires that emergency responders were powerless to put out.

The proposed regulations apply only to trains of 20 or more cars. Crude oil trains from the Bakken are typically 100 cars or more.

The department is weighing three options for replacements.

One would be to make cars known as “1232s” the new standard for transporting hazardous liquids. Those cars are a stronger design voluntarily agreed to by the railroad, oil and ethanol industries in 2011.

cars that officials say were purchased with the expectation they would last for decades.

Another option is a design proposed by Association of American Railroads that has a thicker shell, an outer layer to protect from heat exposure, a “jacket” on top of that, and a better venting valve, among other changes. A third design proposed by the department is nearly identical to the one proposed by railroads, but it also has stronger fittings on the top of the car to prevent spillage during a rollover accident at a speed of 9 mph.

Regulators also are weighing whether to limit crude and ethanol trains to a maximum of 40 mph throughout the country, or just in “high-threat” urban areas or areas with populations greater than 100,000 people.

Railroads voluntarily agreed to reduce oil train speeds to 40 mph in urban areas beginning July 1.

Acetaminophen won’t help bad back Associated Press

ACROSS THE U.S.

acetaminophen — to a maximum dose of 4,000 mg per day — or a placebo. Scientists found no major difference in the time it took people to recover: Those on acetaminophen got better after 17 days while those who took dummy pills recovered after 16 days.

The study focused on the kind of back pain most people experience, resulting from lack of exercise, bad posture, or a strain.

The research was paid for by the Australian government and GlaxoSmithKline Australia. It was published online Wednesday in the journal, The Lancet.

“Most people would have thought (acetaminophen) would have some effect, so this was a surprise,” said Bart Koes

of Erasmus MC University Center in the Netherlands, who co-authored an accompanying commentary. He said doctors should monitor people taking acetaminophen to see if the drug actually works. If not, they should switch patients to stronger medication while advising them to stay active.

Lower back pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide and doctors usually recommend treatments including painkillers, exercise, stretching, physical therapy and old-fashioned remedies like hot and cold packs.

“The mechanisms of back pain are likely to be different from other pain conditions and this is an area that we need to study more,” said Chris Williams of the University of

Sydney in Australia, the study’s lead author.

“We know exercise helps so people should stay as active as possible,” said Chris Mercer, a physical therapist specializing in back pain and spokesman for Britain’s Chartered Society of Physiotherapy. “Don’t just take to your bed.”

Some doctors said it was too early to give up on acetaminophen and said most people would get better within a week or two whatever treatment they tried.

“Different strategies will work for different patients,” said Dr. Nigel Mathers, honorary secretary of Britain’s Royal College of General Practitioners. “If (acetaminophen) works for you, then continue to take it.”

Vice President Joe Biden on Wednesday called on members of the NAACP to spread the word about what he called “a hailstorm” of measures to restrict citizens’ ability to vote, trying to rally the Democratic Party’s base before the midterm elections. In a speech to the civil rights group’s annual convention in Las Vegas, Biden said that there have been 83 attempts this year alone in 29 states to restrict voting rights. The measures stiffen requirements on identification needed to vote, or limit or end early voting. Civil rights groups complain the measures make it harder for minorities to vote because they have less access to identification and depend more on early voting.

AROUND THE WORLD Taiwan: 48 die in crash A plane attempting to land in stormy weather crashed Wednesday, killing 48 people and wrecking houses and cars on the ground. The ATR-72 operated by Taiwan’s TransAsia Airways was carrying 58 passengers and crew when it crashed on Penghu Island, authorities said. The plane was arriving from Kaohsiung. The twin-engine turboprop crashed while making a second landing attempt, officials said.

Sierra Leone: Doctor sick The health minister confirms that the doctor in charge of battling the current Ebola outbreak has himself become ill with the deadly disease. The Minister of Health and Sanitation said Tuesday that Dr. Sheik Humarr Khan has a confirmed case of Ebola. The minister described the stricken doctor as a national hero for the sacrifices he has made during the current outbreak of the hemorrhagic fever. He is on his way to a Doctors Without Borders treatment center.

Belgium: Euro partner The European Union is giving Lithuania the green light to adopt the euro starting next year. Ministers from the 28-nation bloc Wednesday cleared the final legal hurdle for Lithuania to become the 19th member of the currency zone encompassing some 330 million people.

The country had been given preliminary approval in June. Lithuania’s prime minister said adopting the euro will strengthen the nation’s economy.

Economy may be sturdier Money that once went to repaying credit cards can now be spent in ways that boost growth.

Associated Press WASHINGTON — Out of a seemingly hollow recovery from the Great Recession, a more durable if still slow-growing U.S. economy has emerged.

That conclusion, one held by a growing number of economists, might surprise many people.

After all, in the five years since the recession officially ended, Americans’ pay has basically stagnated.

Millions remain unemployed or have abandoned their job searches. Economic growth is merely plodding along.

Yet as the economy has slowly healed, analysts say it has replaced some critical weaknesses with newfound strengths.

Among the trends: ■■Fewer people are piling up credit card debt or taking on risky mortgages. This should make growth more sustainable and avoid a cycle of extreme booms and busts.

■■Banks are more profitable and holding additional cash to help protect against a repeat of the 2008 market meltdown.

■■More workers hold advanced degrees. Education typically

leads to higher wages and greater job security, reducing the likelihood of unemployment.

■■Inflation is under control. Runaway price increases would be destructive. Low inflation can lay a foundation for growth.

■■Millions who have reached retirement age are staying on the job. This lessens the economic drag from retiring baby boomers and helps sustain consumer spending.

Over the long run, such trends could help produce a sturdier economy, one less prone to the kind of runaway growth that often ends in a steep and sudden slump.

The downside? At least in the short term, these same trends

have prevented the economy from accelerating. When consumers borrow and spend less freely, for example, they restrain growth.

And when people seek to work longer or become more educated, often there aren’t enough jobs for all of them, at least not right away. People with advanced degrees can often find lower-paying jobs that don’t require much education. But when they do, they tend to push some people with only a high school education into unemployment.

One of the most striking trends in the recovery has been an aversion to personal debt. A typical U.S. household owes $7,122 in See ECONOMY, Page A8

Trump plans to spruce up D.C. The Romanesque Revival Old Post Office building will become a Trump International Hotel.

NEW YORK — Women who own small business are still far behind their male counterparts when it comes to getting loans and government contracts, a congressional report said Wednesday.

The report by Democratic staffers of the Senate Small Business & Entrepreneurship Committee found that while businesses owned by women account for 30 percent of small companies, they receive only 4.4 percent of the total dollars in conventional small-business loans.

Delta Air Lines Inc. said Wednesday that second-quarter earnings rose 17 percent, topping analysts’ expectations, as passengers flew more miles at higher average fares and fuel spending declined.

The results from Delta, the world’s third-biggest airline company, produced a strong opening to the industry’s results for the busy April-toJune quarter. American and United are scheduled to report second-quarter figures on Thursday, and analysts expect the biggest U.S. carriers to post large profits. Like other airlines, Delta has been adding flights cautiously and instead is cramming more passengers on each plane. The average flight was 86.3 percent full, a figure that would have seemed impossible not long ago.

Donald Trump speaks during a ground breaking ceremony for the Trump International Hotel on the site of the Old Post Office on Wednesday in Washington.

It’s really the best location in D.C. by far.

— Donald Trump

the next presidential election.

“It’s really the best location in D.C. by far. I mean, everybody acknowledges that,” Trump said after the ceremony. “We’re going to do a building the likes of which D.C. has never seen. I think it will be one of the fine hotels anywhere in the world, and maybe the finest.”

Trump, a Republican, has openly pondered a presidential bid on multiple occasions. Asked whether building a hotel so close to the White House would rekindle his political ambitions, Trump said only that he wanted to share his vision of success with the nation’s capital.

“It will show how to get things done because we know how to build, we know how to create beautiful things, important things, and we know how to create jobs,” he said. “That’s what the country has to be doing.”

Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton, a Democrat who represents the District in Congress, has led

the push to renovate the building and said the government has found ideal partners in Trump and his daughter Ivanka, the lead developer on the project.

“Look at what the Old Post Office had been reduced to — something of an ugly duckling on Pennsylvania Avenue,” Norton said. “I think we’re about to see the grand old lady back in her iconic glory.”

Because the building will become a Trump International Hotel, it will carry Trump’s name, but with more subtlety than he’s known for. “The name will be on it somewhere,” Trump said, “but it will be very discreet.”

Apple Inc. won’t officially release its OS X Yosemite desktop software until this fall, but on Thursday, the Cupertino, California, company will give 1 million users early access to a beta version of the operating system. The last time Apple gave the public beta access to a new desktop operating system was in 2000, when it charged $29.95 to try out the first version of OS X. This time, the beta version is free. Apple said it wants users to test drive the software and give feedback. “Your comments will help us make OS X better for all Mac users,” Apple said.

Associated Press WASHINGTON — Donald Trump has big plans for the Old Post Office building, a historic structure in downtown Washington that he’s pledging to transform into the city’s most luxurious hotel. As for the White House, four blocks away? He’s not saying.

The real estate mogul and reality TV star was all business in his visit to the nation’s capital Wednesday for a ceremonial groundbreaking outside the 115-year-old building — shaking hands, posing for pictures with gold-plated shovels and praising Democratic political leaders for their cooperation.

The Old Post Office is on Pennsylvania Avenue between the White House and the Capitol. Its 315-foot clock tower is the thirdtallest structure in the District of Columbia, trailing only the Washington Monument and a Roman Catholic basilica, and it offers rare panoramic views of downtown.

Built to house the U.S. Post Office Department headquarters, the Romanesque Revival building has been underutilized in recent years, housing small vendors that catered mostly to tourists. The Trump Organization won a $200 million contract with the federal government to turn it into a luxury hotel with 270 guest rooms and suites, restaurants, retail and a 13,000-square-foot ballroom.

Trump hopes the renovation will be finished in mid-2016, before

That amounts to $1 for every $23 loaned.

In terms of numbers of loans, businesses owned by women receive only 16 percent of all conventional small-business loans, and 17 percent of loans backed by the Small Business Administration. Their loan applications are more likely to be rejected than those from businesses owned by men, and the loans they get are likely to have more stringent terms.

Women also receive only 7 percent of venture-capital funding.

“The numbers are jarring, for sure, and we need to own up to the fact that we want to see more

Accounting and business consulting firm Moss Adams has announced a leadership change to its specialty tax services group.

Women are also falling short in receiving government contracts.

Although Congress in 1994 set a governmentwide goal of awarding 5 percent of federal contract dollars to small businesses owned by women, it hasn’t met that goal. The closest it has come is 4 percent, in the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, 2012, the report said. Failing to meet the goal costs women-owned businesses nearly $5.7 billion in government contracts each year, it said.

It also called for the reauthorization of what’s known as the Intermediary Lending Program, which allows business owners to borrow between $50,000 and $200,000.

Cantwell noted that womenowned small businesses may not need more traditional, and larger, SBA loans. That increases the importance of the smaller loan programs.

Orbitz Worldwide on Wednesday will launch a retooled version of Cheap Tickets.com, its lesser-known U.S. travel agency aimed at travelers who strive for the lowest prices. The revamp includes a new loyalty program for travel cheapskates and a new price-comparison tool. Chicago-based Orbitz is better known for travel bookings on Orbitz.com. But its CheapTickets.com brand appeals to a different customer, often younger people who use mobile apps, travel less frequently and are pricesensitive deal hunters.

Dow Chemical beats estimates Dow Chemical Co., the largest U.S. chemical maker, posted second-quarter earnings that exceeded analysts’ estimates as the company expanded margins by raising product prices and cutting expenses. Profit excluding some items was 74 cents a share, the Midland, Michigan, company said Wednesday in a statement, exceeding the 71-cent average estimate of 17 analysts compiled by Bloomberg. Revenue gained 2.3 percent to $14.9 billion, topping the $14.8 billion average estimate. Prices rose 2 percent on average while sales volumes expanded 1 percent, with revenue up across all six of Dow’s business units.

credit card debt, $1,618 less than at the start of the recession, according to analysis of New York Federal Reserve data by the firm Nerd Wallet. (After factoring in inflation, the balance is $2,900 lower.)

Two primary factors explain the decline in card debt: Lending standards were tightened, and consumers “just kind of froze in place,” said Jelena Ewart, general manager of credit cards and banking at Nerd Wallet.

The American Bankers Association says card debt as a share of people’s income has reached its lowest level in more than a decade. People increasingly pay off balances each month. And just 2.44 percent of card accounts are delinquent, compared with the 15-year average of 3.82 percent.

Researchers at the Cleveland Fed found that after adjusting for inflation, debt from mortgage and auto loans remains below

pre-recession levels. Applications for credit by “deep subprime” borrowers — those most at risk of defaulting — have dropped 36 percent from pre-recession highs.

Because people are taking on less debt, they’re also spending less. That phenomenon has slowed growth because consumers fuel most of the U.S. economy.

Consumer spending has risen just 10.8 percent during the five-year recovery — the smallest increase among expansions in the last 55 years, said Carl Tannenbaum, chief economist at Northern Trust.

But after the frugality of the past halfdecade, money that once went to repaying credit cards can now be spent in ways that boost growth.

“There are some families who can contemplate vacations for the first time in a while, who can contemplate replacing their jalopies,” Tannenbaum said.

Declining debt loads have coincided with stronger cash buffers that banks have built up to protect against possible losses. More than 30 percent of banks were unprofitable in 2009, a share that sank to

7.28 percent through the first three months of 2014, according to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Americans have also used the recovery to return to school. The share of adults with advanced degrees jumped to 11.7 percent from 9.9 percent in 2007, according to the Census Bureau. During the recovery, the number of Americans with a college degree surpassed the number with only a high school diploma for the first time.

The unemployment rate for college graduates is 3.3 percent vs. 5.8 percent for high school graduates and 9.1 percent for high school dropouts. Someone with a master’s degree earns on average $69,108 a year, more than double what someone with only a high school diploma earns.

Over time, more people with advanced degrees should put a greater percentage of Americans into better-paying skilled jobs.

For now, though, some educated Americans have moved into jobs requiring only a high school degree and left many of those without degrees jobless. Just 54 percent of high school graduates are employed,

compared with 60 percent before the recession.

A similar development has occurred as workers have delayed retirement. The proportion of Americans older than 65 who are working has risen to 22.7 percent from roughly 20 percent during the recession.

These older workers tend to be better educated, so they command higher pay than the broader population, Gary Burtless, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, has concluded. And by continuing to draw a paycheck, they pay taxes, which should ease the budgetary pressures on younger generations.

Still, the rising proportion of older workers has kept some younger workers from receiving promotions or being hired.

That hardship should gradually diminish on the strength of continued job growth.

Employers have added more than 200,000 jobs a month for five straight months — the best such stretch since the late 1990s.

“If the economy gets close to its full employment potential, it’s a great thing,” Burtless said.

Five tips for selling your home for the best price Associated Press The rebound in U.S. home values over the past couple of years has placed many homeowners in a better position to sell their home for a profit. Still, getting a home sold can be challenging, even in markets where tight supply favors sellers.

Here are five tips on how to get your home sold for the best price: 1. Study the market Most homeowners enlist the services of a real estate agent to market their home and perform a variety of tasks, including reaching out to a network of buyers’ agents, preparing the home for viewing and dealing directly with prospective buyers. “The most important thing in pricing and getting your house sold fast is to do your homework,” said Michael Corbett, a real estate expert at Trulia, a housing

Women From Page A7

Securities and Exchange Commission to complete regulations to allow small

information and listing website.

Trulia and other online real estate sites, such as Redfin.com and Zillow.com feature searchable maps and home sales data.

Look up what similar homes have sold for in the last 30 to 60 days and how long they’ve been on the market. You can also see whether those homes sold for less or more than their initial asking price.

2. Be patient Some sellers may be tempted to press their agent to list their home well above comparable sales. Others may want to briefly test the market with a high price only to relist the home later. This strategy can backfire. “Ideally your goal is to price it perfectly so that it sells immediately,” Corbett said. “The longer a property stays on the market, the more it becomes stale, and it’s very hard to garner momentum once a property is stale.”

3. Set a deadline One strategy that can help create competing bids among potential buyers is to require that any offers be made within the first week or two that the home is on the market. The approach, coupled with hosting an open house as soon as the home goes on sale, works best on homes that are priced competitively, said Karen Krupsaw, vice president of real estate operations for Redfin. “That’s a strategy where you can certainly try to get as many offers as quickly as possible,” she said.

4. Stick with local agents When it comes to selling your home, the ideal agent should be an expert on your neighborhood. They will be in position to know even which transactions might be in the works but not yet available on public records — key to gauging how to price your home.

When evaluating prospective agents, find out the pricing of their recent sales to see whether the homes sold for less or more than initially priced.

Several real estate websites, including RatedAgent.com, Zillow and Trulia have sections for finding an agent by location. They also feature reviews from past clients and other attributes to help narrow your search.

5. Weigh commission options Traditionally, listing agents will charge sellers a 5 or 6 percent commission on the sale price of the home. This commission is typically split equally between the selling agent and the buyer’s agent.

Sellers can negotiate for a lower commission, but it could make their home less of a priority for the agent than the other properties they may be working to sell.

One option is electing to work with an agent who works on lower commissions.

businesses to crowdfund, or solicit investor money from the public through online portals.

The report also called for increased funding for Women’s Business Centers, SBA-sponsored counseling programs for women owners around the country. Reduced funding and staffing at the

centers has lowered the number of women owners they are able to help.

“We want to make sure women are getting appropriate counseling and training for business development,” Cantwell said.

Despite challenges facing women owners, they are becoming a greater force in U.S. business, the report said. It noted that

4.6 percent of all U.S. companies were owned by women in 1972; in 2007, the latest year for which there is Census Bureau data available, they owned nearly 29 percent. Between 1997 and 2007, womenowned businesses added about 500,000 jobs, while the rest of privately held companies cut jobs.

IN OUR VIEW | THE OSO MUDSLIDE

The last victim; the next step Four months to the day when a landscape transfigured into a river of earth, searchers recovered the last victim of the March 22 Oso mudslide. Molly Kristine “Kris” Regelbrugge was 44.

It’s bittersweet, a testament to the resolve of searchers, heartrending for families, for 43 lives interrupted.

As The Herald’s Eric Stevick reported, Regelbrugge’s husband, Navy Cmdr. John Regelbrugge III, 49, also died in the slide. His body was recovered by two brothers and two sons in March.

“This is hopefully going to bring some relief to the family,” said Gov. Jay Inslee. “It’s one of those things you can’t consider a blessing; you might

consider it a balm.”

Snohomish County Sheriff Ty Trenary singled out Sgt. Danny Wikstrom and deputy Glen Bergstrom for their search-and-rescue and recovery work from day one.

“I’m humbled and honored that we are able return Kris to her family,” Trenary said. “I’m also extremely grateful to the communities of Oso, Darrington and Arlington who stood beside us these past four months in our efforts to recover all of the missing victims.”

By coincidence or fate, the discovery coincided with the release of the GEER report (the acronym stands for “Geotechnical Extreme Events Reconnaissance.”) The mission is to collect data quickly

before natural geological events begin to adulterate evidence.

The report’s hard science is a reminder that we’re entitled to our own opinions, but not our own facts.

The report flags 10 possible triggers for the initial stage of the Oso slide — from weeks of intense rain, to groundwater entering the slide zone from the Whitman Bench at the top of the hill, to surface drainage related to a 2006 slide.

“Studies conducted in the decades preceding the Oso Landslide clearly indicated a high landslide hazard at the site,” the report reads.

“However, these studies were primarily focused on the impacts of landslides to the

river versus the impacts to people or property.”

Here’s the money line: “Currently there are no national or state guidelines in the United States concerning levels of risk due to natural landslides that warrant action.”

This is where a joint commission on the Oso mudslide can play a meaningful role by analyzing past events, including residential zoning and the “remobilization” of the 2006 slide. A commission doesn’t need to assign blame (that will play out in the courts) but to examine what went wrong and the guidelines required to minimize future tragedies.

The GEER report is a case study in how to do it right.

For fiscal sanity, vote for Eslick I apologize for my tardiness, for I have been enjoying my summer more than paying attention to local news. So, I am just getting to the story about how Snohomish County Executive John Lovick has given 10 percent pay raises to a dozen top managers this year. Though it now seems old news, I feel compelled to comment on it.

As the Herald article “Top county managers given 10% raises despite tight budget” states: The county faces an uncertain financial future next year as it copes with costs from the Oso mudslide, pressing needs to bulk up jail staffing and a recent downgrade of its bond rating.”

Indeed, not to mention, we still have no clue what the new courthouse will cost us.

Plus, the optics of it are horrible! Therefore, it seems to me, to be absolutely tone deaf of Executive Lovick to award such substantial pay raises this year. Doesn’t he know the recession is not over for many of his constituents? Especially when the rank-and-file county employees are getting about 80 percent less!

I can’t imagine what accounts for this egregious decision? Is he mesmerized by his sudden elevation to county executive in the wake of the Reardon scandal? Has he just been a public employee for too many decades, and doesn’t know any other way to operate? I don’t know, but, this decision makes clear to me, it is high time for a change of leadership in Snohomish County. So, I hope you’ll join me, in supporting Carolyn Eslick for Snohomish County Executive!

Repair spy partnership

W

ASHINGTON — Given recent German indignation about the National Security Agency, it has been easy to overlook the fact that for decades the German government has cooperated extensively with the NSA on surveillance activities. But after a highlevel meeting in Berlin this week, this long-standing but veiled cooperation may have a firmer legal and political base.

The two countries’ past partnership became so extensive that they even developed a special logo for their joint signals-intelligence activity, known by its initials, “JSA.” It shows an American bald eagle against the colors of the German flag, next to the words Der Zeitgeist, or “the spirit of the age.”

Like so much else we know about the NSA, the details about its activities in Germany come from Edward Snowden, the former NSA contractor now living in Moscow. He provided a trove of secret documents to Der Spiegel, which published more than 50 online last month.

German anger about American spying boiled over with the expulsion of the CIA station chief in Berlin.

The Germans were furious DAVID IGNATIUS when they discovered that the CIA was paying a “walk-in” German agent, adding to their anger that the NSA had tapped Chancellor Angela Merkel’s cellphone.

In an attempt to heal this feud, White House chief of staff Denis McDonough met Tuesday in Berlin with his German counterpart, Peter Altmaier. A senior German official told me his government was “very satisfied” with the meeting, especially McDonough’s proposal to develop “guiding principles” for cooperation on intelligence matters. While not a formal “no-spy” pledge, this agreement might reassure Germans that their rights would be respected.

The NSA’s relationship with Germany dates back to a 1962 pact with the Bundesnachrichtendienst, or BND, as Germany calls its intelligence service. According to a Jan. 17, 2013, NSA document summarizing the relationship: “In the past year, Germany displayed both eagerness and self-sufficiency in transforming its SIGINT activities and assumed greater risk in support of U.S. intelligence needs and efforts to improve information sharing within the German government, with coalition partners, and NSA.” Perhaps most striking, given German public rage at U.S. snooping, the NSA summary credited its German partner for helping to reduce privacy obstacles: “The BND has been working to influence the German government to relax interpretation of the privacy laws over the long term to provide greater opportunity for intelligence sharing.”

The senior German official affirmed that the intelligence partnership has been “very extensive” and said “we are very happy with this cooperation.” He didn’t dispute U.S. estimates that the NSA has helped disrupt over 50 terrorist plots, including over 20 in Europe. But the official cautioned that to gain German support for continued partnership, the U.S. must be more open about its intelligence activities, and avoid actions that violate the rights of German citizens.

“The problem we face in Germany is not about intelligence collection anymore, but about public sentiment. The public is extremely upset, and the German government has to take this into account,” the official said. Pressed about why the German government hadn’t been more honest with its public about the extent of past cooperation, the official said “it’s a very bad moment to say it’s ‘all right,’” after the Snowden revelations.

Germany had felt “the ball was in America’s court,” post-Snowden, and was waiting for the U.S. to set a new framework, the official said. Tuesday’s meeting seems to have sent the message that Merkel wanted to hear.

Merkel and other German supporters of continued cooperation will have a political battle ahead. When Der Spiegel published the Snowden documents, an accompanying story summed up why many Germans were upset: “No other country in Europe plays host to a secret NSA surveillance architecture comparable to the one in Germany.”

The Der Spiegel documents describe the extensive collaboration. “In addition to the day-to-day collection, the Germans have offered NSA unique accesses in high interest target areas,” noted the January 2013 summary. Another document explained that during a January 2012 meeting, a senior German official “sought NSA’s assistance with intercepting Skype transmissions.” A third document describes a planned BND visit in May 2013, just over a month before Snowden’s leaks began appearing in the press, noting that top BND officials “continue to express a desire to increase CND [Computer Network Defense] engagement with the NSA.” The U.S. and Germany are now attempting to rebuild the partnership so that it is more transparent and, perhaps, develops a more solid political base.

Shipwreck Costa Concordia towed from island

By Paolo Santalucia Associated Press

GIGLIO ISLAND, Italy — The Costa Concordia cruise liner began its final voyage Wednesday, slowly being towed away from the tiny Italian island where it capsized more than two years ago, killing 32 people.

Boat sirens wailed and bells tolled on the island just before two tugboats pulled the Concordia away from Giglio’s port, where the luxury liner ended up on its side in pristine Mediterranean waters, after being gashed by a reef it struck when its captain steered too close to the island.

The tugs are bringing the crippled ship on a four-day journey to the northwestern port of Genoa, which is home to the ship’s owner,

GREGORIO BORGIA / ASSOCIATED PRESS

The wreck of the Costa Concordia cruise ship is towed from the Tuscan island of Isola del Giglio, Italy, on Wednesday.

Costa Crociere Spa. The vessel will be scrapped there.

Accompanying the tugs and Concordia, moving at 2 knots (2.3 mph), are several boats to monitor any pollution in the waters, which are home to dolphins. Nets have been attached to sides

of the liner in case any remnants of the Concordia’s last passenger cruise — dishware, pots and pans, bed linen, chairs and other furnishings — tumble out of the ship during towing.

A daring engineering operation set the Concordia upright last

September. Then, over the last few months, custombuilt tanks, now filled with air to serve as kind of water wings to facilitate floating, were attached to the liner’s flanks. The salvage master of the entire operation, Nick Sloane, said he felt a bit nervous before

boarding a special command center attached to the top of the Concordia to monitor the final voyage.

An Italian naval admiral was also aboard.

Flying from the Concordia was the Italian flag, since regulations require the banner to be visible on the Italian-registered ship until scrapping.

On Friday, on the seabed where the Concordia had been marooned, a new search will begin for the one body that was never found. For weeks after the crash, divers had combed accessible areas in vain for the body of the Indian man who was a Concordia waiter.

Whether the Concordia itself might hold the body, “we will only know in the moment that the ship is dismantled in Genoa,”

Franco Gabrielli, the Italian government official monitoring the entire removal process, told reporters on the island.

The Concordia’s Italian captain is on trial, accused of multiple manslaughter, causing the wreck on Jan. 13, 2012 and abandoning ship while hundreds of the 4,200 passengers and crew were still aboard the badly listing ship. The sole defendant in the trial in Tuscany, Francesco Schettino claimed the reef wasn’t on the liner’s nautical charts.

“It’s a moment for sobriety and sorrowful respect for those who are no more,” Gabrielli told Sky TG24 as he recalled those who perished.

France also sent a boat to monitor the voyage, since the Concordia’s final route passes Corsica’s east coast.

777’s black boxes headed for Britain

1095527

The Washington Post Nearly six days after the attack that brought down Malaysia Air Flight MH17, the Boeing 777-200’s nearly 20-year-old pair of “black boxes” have been delivered to Malaysian authorities. The handover was the result of an agreement negotiated between Ukrainian separatist leader Alexander Borodai and Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak. Now the work begins to free the boxes’ flight data recorders and cockpit voice recorders to reveal what they know.

Together, the two datacollecting devices can paint a picture nearly impossible to piece together through other means, which is one reason that Razak, in listing his priorities for the investigation into the downing of Flight 17, ordered them as: “first is the bodies, second is the black box, and third is the crash site.”

Flight 17’s “loaf” modules, as the black boxes are sometimes described in the aviation business, are designed to withstand a tremendous 3,400 Gs worth of impact.

The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board, nonetheless, recommends that flight recorders be gently transferred to investigators “inside a cardboard or wooden box, wrapped in either foam or bubble-wrap or in a container filled with foam peanuts.” Still, while the separatists in Donetsk, Ukraine, pulled the pair of units out of what appeared to be a white plastic trash bag, Prime Minister Razak later wrote on Facebook that the boxes “appear to be in good condition.”

There are, though, other concerns when it comes to the integrity of such units.

There has been a great deal of anger over the pro-Russian separatists’ handling of the crash field; Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott has called it “evidence tampering on an industrial scale.” And as invulnerable as they may appear, such black boxes aren’t immune to tampering. If the units are correctly hooked up to a power source and allowed to run, the data on them can be rather easily overwritten in the same way that you might record over a VHS tape.

The units aboard MH17 were manufactured by Honeywell, says the New Jersey-based company.

(The devices carry markings for both Honeywell and Allied Signal; the latter acquired the former in 1999.) The cockpit voice recorder left the factory in December 1996 and weighs 17 pounds. MH17’s flight data recorder left the factory 10 months later, in October 1997, and weighs 19 pounds. The modules

are the first-generation of Honeywell’s solid-state recorders, which replaced magnetic tapes with more resilient digital storage similar to the electronic memory card you might have in your digital camera.

The flight data recorder captures passively generated data on operating conditions, including the plane’s location, speed, altitude and what is called “aircraft attitude,” or the plane’s orientation to the Earth. Honeywell’s FDRs are capable of gathering 25 hours worth of detail on some 2,500 parameters, though the exact makeup of the active list at any time is held by the plane’s manufacturer and the operating airline, in this case Boeing and Malaysia Air. Together that data can be turned by investigators into an animation of the flight’s final hours. In the case of Flight MH17, that re-creation might reveal whether and how the plane plotted a path over separatist-controlled land.

Meanwhile, the cockpit voice recorder captures both conversations among cabin staff and between ground crews, as well as ambient noises, what the NTSB calls “engine noise, stall warnings, landing gear extension and retraction, and other clicks and pops.”

Those sounds can be extremely useful in many cases, especially in those involving equipment failure, pilot error, or hijacking.

As the attack on MH17 was unexpected, those noises might prove less helpful.

They could, however, offer insight into the plane’s path, as long as the relevant discussions occurred in the flight’s final minutes; MH17 was brought down more than three hours after takeoff, and unlike smaller, more compact solid-state models that hold two hours of recording, the cockpit voice recorder on Flight 17 holds just 30 minutes. The recordings, though, could include audio of people on the plane seeing the missile attack as it was taking place.

“Black boxes” — which are actually painted an eye-catching orange — are manufactured by companies that include L-3, Universal Avionics, and Teledyne. MH17’s jet was the same model plane as Malaysia Air Flight 370, which disappeared in March; both were Boeing 777-200ERs. The latter flight also carried Honeywell-made black boxes.

Of course in the case of MH370, though, the black boxes have yet to have been recovered.

The United Kingdom’s Air Accidents Investigation Branch is slated to extract and investigate the data once the boxes can be safely delivered.

Rain fails to quench huge Washington wildfire Federal aid will be tapped to assist with disaster relief for communities Associated Press SPOKANE— Rain and hail fell Wednesday on the largest wildfire in the state’s history. But there wasn’t enough water to extinguish the flames.

“It was like the judgment day,” fire spokeswoman Kris Erikson said of the intense thunderstorm.

“It was major, but short.

“Will it put the fire out? No.” But the storm raised humidity in the area of the fire and prevented it from growing much, Erikson said.

The wildfire stands at more than 250,000 acres, or nearly 400 square miles, and it’s being fought by about 2,500 people.

“Today we have not seen active fire behavior,” fire spokesman Andrew Sandri said.

But lightning could spark new fires in the parched region, Sandri said. And all the moisture could lead to flash floods because so much ground vegetation has been lost. The National Weather Service issued a flash-flood watch from Wednesday morning through evening.

The fire remains at 16 percent contained, as crews concentrate on strengthening existing fire lines, Sandri said.

Two other major fires are burning in north-central Washington.

The Chiwaukum Complex near Leavenworth has burned 12,225 acres, is 10 percent contained, and has 1,000 firefighters on the scene. The Mills Canyon fire

A Lake Stevens couple is gathering supplies to deliver Friday to family and friends affected by wildfires in central Washington. A3 remains at 22,571 acres and is 90 percent contained.

The Carlton Complex has burned about 150 homes and is blamed for one death after a man died of a heart attack while hauling water and digging a fire line to protect his home.

Meanwhile, President Barack Obama on Wednesday declared a state of emergency in Washington because of the fires. The declaration authorized the Federal Emergency Management

Agency and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to coordinate disaster relief and help state and local agencies with equipment and resources.

“These additional resources will significantly help our efforts to restore power to thousands of people affected by these fires,” Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee said. “I appreciate his prompt response and partnership in helping our state.”

Inslee spoke with the president during his visit to the state Tuesday.

The governor also requested additional federal resources, including assistance from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to help

with assessment, planning and installation of emergency power generators to restore power to facilities critical to the well-being of fire-damaged communities.

These include water and wastewater treatment systems and other municipal facilities.

Inslee declared a state of emergency on July 15 in the 20 counties of eastern Washington as a result of wildfires. The governor amended the proclamation on Monday to include a temporary outdoor burn ban in that part of the state. The ban is effective through Friday.

At more than 250,000 acres, the Carlton Complex is larger than the 1902 Yacolt Burn, which

consumed 238,920 acres in southwestern Washington and was the state’s largest recorded forest fire, according to HistoryLink.org, an online resource of Washington state history.

The Wenatchee World reported Wednesday that two area residents were arrested on suspicion of arson this weekend, accused of setting two separate back burns that got out of control, with one of them almost trapping a fire crew in a canyon. The back burns were lighted by men trying to save property, Okanogan County Sheriff Frank Rogers said. Back burns are secondary fires lit on purpose to burn fuels in the path of an oncoming fire.

Fires in West expected to grow more intense Associated Press GRANTS PASS, Ore. — Despite widespread drought in the West and expectations of an aboveaverage wildfire season, wildfires have burned less than half the 10-year average area so far this summer.

U.S. Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell said Wednesday that largely has been a matter of luck, with the hot windy weather known as “red flag” days not lining up with the lighting strikes that start most fires, particularly in California.

But that is changing, he said from Washington, D.C. Eighteen large fires were burning in the

Northwest with intensities not normally seen until August.

With only about $1 billion budgeted for fighting wildfires, the Forest Service expects to once again have to tap other funds, such as forest thinning projects, to continue fighting fires as the season goes on into the fall, Tidwell said. Last year, that amount was $500 million.

“If we can stop a fire from coming into a community, we will stop it,” he said. “Cost is just an outcome. It isn’t what drives our actions. What drives our actions is safe, effective suppression tactics.”

The largest wildfires — 1 percent of blazes across the country

each season — take up 30 percent of wildfire spending. The Obama administration has proposed changing the way those fires are paid for, tapping Federal Emergency Management Agency disaster funds rather than taking from other programs within agency budgets, said Jim Douglas, director of the Department of Interior Office of Wildland Fire.

Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and others have filed legislation to do the same thing. Wyden said the current situation makes matters worse by curtailing programs like forest thinning that will reduce future fire danger.

Meanwhile, the Union of Concerned Scientists released a

report warning climate change is contributing to longer and larger fire seasons, and efforts to protect new homes in forests are driving up firefighting costs.

Overall, wildfires have burned 2,471 square miles across the nation this summer, according to the National Interagency Fire Center in Boise, Idaho. The 10-year average for this date is 6,016 square miles.

Since getting started by lighting about 10 days ago, fires in Washington and Oregon have burned across 1,394 square miles of timber and rangeland. They have destroyed more than 150 homes, most of them in Washington state, according to the

Northwest Interagency Coordination Center in Portland.

Another series of thunderstorms across the region Tuesday and Wednesday produced rain and cooler temperatures that have helped fire crews increase containment of the fires. But the weather also produced more than 20,000 lightning strikes that resulted in at least eight new small fires in Washington, and 25 in Oregon, according to the Northwest Interagency Coordination Center in Portland.

Arizona, California, Idaho and Nevada each had one large fire burning, and Utah had four, the Idaho fire center reported.

70-year-old is volunteer firefighter

By Ty Beaver Tri-City Herald

KENNEWICK — When a wildfire raged near the Washington State Patrol offices south of Kennewick in 1975, it inspired one man, then 30, to become a firefighter.

“I came and volunteered that night,” said Bill Morrison. “I signed my name on the dotted line and was on a fire the next day.”

Now almost 71, twice retired from other jobs and away from firefighting for nearly 20 years, Morrison is back at his old post, Station 130 near the intersection of Canal Drive and Grant Street in Kennewick.

He’s the oldest active firefighter for Benton Fire District 1 and one of the oldest in the region, but fire officials said it’s Morrison’s dedication to the task that makes him such a valuable volunteer.

“I take my hat off to him for

being retired and still wanting to help his community,” said Capt.

Devin Helland, the district’s spokesman.

Adrenaline rush Station 130 handled about 350 calls a year for fires and medical emergencies when Morrison first volunteered.

The Kennewick Fire Department was smaller then, leaving large swaths of eastern Kennewick under the station’s watch.

Training was all done on the job, from learning how to attack a structure fire to helping people with traumatic injuries.

Firefighting was taxing work, but Morrison said his maintenance job at the Boise Cascade plant south of the Tri-Cities in Walla Walla County prepared him.

Morrison recalled working a fire for 12 hours, then coming back to clean up before heading to his job followed by another

shift on the fire line — a schedule he could manage then for three days straight.

“Your adrenaline gets to flowing and you’re amazed at how much strength and endurance you have,” he said.

Over the mountains and back again Morrison and his wife, Geri, moved to the San Juan Islands in 1994 after he retired. But he kept working, this time as a heavy equipment mechanic.

The long hours discouraged him from continuing as a firefighter on the westside, though.

The couple kept their home in the Tri-Cities and returned to town two years ago after Morrison retired a second time.

He didn’t immediately return to firefighting, but a blaze that threatened homes in south Kennewick near Clodfelter Road in June 2013 convinced him he wanted to come back.

BOB BRAWDY / TRI-CITY HERALD

Bill Morrison, 70, recently re-qualified to be a firefighter with Benton Fire District 1. He works out of Station 130 on North Grant Street in Kennewick, the same one he originally started at in 1975.

“I tried retirement for six months,” he said.

But unlike when Morrison first became a firefighter, it was months before he was allowed out on an active fire or emergency.

He had to go through training on everything from how to tackle wildland and structure fires to qualifying as a driver. He also had to meet physical and See FIREFIGHTER, Page B2

Accused SPU shooter discusses target Associated Press SEATTLE — A journal that prosecutors say was written by the Mountlake Terrace man accused in the fatal June 5 shooting at a small Christian university in Seattle indicates the target was chosen largely because it was close and it wasn’t a school uniquely identified with his city.

In the document released Tuesday evening

by King County prosecutors, Aaron Ybarra writes that he thought about shooting students at Washington State University in Pullman but decided he couldn’t get there without raising his parents’ suspicions.

“I picked Seattle Pacific because I’m less familiar with it and can see that (the) University of Washington and Seattle University represent Seattle more. I didn’t want to have

July 28th - August 1st

to attack my own city,” he wrote on June 2.

A journal entry talks about his love for his family and friends but adds, “Everybody else in the world, I just want to blow their faces out with a 12-gauge shotgun blast.”

The first official entry, dated May 27, begins with the sentence “Sometime by the end of this week or the begaining (sic) of next week, I will express how I really feel about humanity, America and the world it’s self (sic).”

The 26-year-old Ybarra is accused of fatally shooting a 19-year-old student and wounding two others. He has pleaded not guilty to one count of premeditated first-degree murder and other charges.

Defense lawyer Ramona Brandes has said her client has a long history of mental issues but is aware of the trauma caused by

the shooting and is sorry.

The defense tried to block release of the journal. A judge ruled it was a public record.

Ybarra also writes about frustration with his mental health issues and says treatment did not help.

The journal discusses a visit to Seattle Pacific “to get info and find a good area to attack.”

Ybarra writes about meeting two female students who showed him around campus. He wrote that he would spare them if he encountered them, because of their kindness.

On June 5, the day of the shooting, the journal contains this entry: “I’m not asking for forgiveness because there won’t be any,” he wrote.

“But it is what it is. I’m doing some people a favor by sending them to heaven.

But those who are sinners like me, I’ll see you in hell.”

Smoke pours from Seattle City Light’s Broad Street substation on Wednesday.

Power restored around Seattle Center after fire Associated Press SEATTLE — Power was restored to the Space Needle, the monorail and more than 300 other City Light customers near the Seattle Center about two hours after a fire at a nearby substation.

City Light spokesman Scott Thomsen says the

fire burned mineral oil in a capacitor bank, which regulates current. He says the cooling oil does not contain toxic PCB. No one was injured and the cause of the fire is under investigation.

Fire Department spokesman Kyle Moore says firefighters who responded

about 10 a.m. Wednesday first planned to use foam to smother the fire, but decided the best tactic was to let it burn itself out. They cleared the scene by noon.

Moore says workers at a nearby Highway 99 tunnel portal project evacuated because of thick black smoke.

agility standards.

“We didn’t do any favors for him or anything,” Helland said. “One of the tests is dragging a 180-pound dummy out of a fire.”

While still in good shape, Morrison said he realized early on he wasn’t as fit as he was 40 years ago.

The air tanks carried by firefighters are meant to last 30 minutes, but he would go through a tank in 10 minutes during exercises. He now works out four times a week and his air tanks can last about 25 minutes.

Morrison said there’s a bigger emphasis now on safety.

Air tanks were seldom used in the 1970s and ‘80s, and there are tighter protocols on making sure you have a backup when you enter a building.

Getting back into firefighting wasn’t always easy for him, his wife said.

He sometimes became discouraged during training and was briefly hospitalized in January for an

injury.

But she encouraged him to continue, and he got motivated to get in better shape.

“It’s in his heart,” she said.

Community role model Morrison has been back on full duty since March and most recently worked on the fire that scorched about 1,000 acres near Prosser.

He still recognizes his limits, though.

Some of the district’s firefighters were sent to help on fires near Leavenworth and Pateros. Such mobilizations require a firefighter to handle five days on duty.

“I’m not going to jeopardize their stay on the fire because I can’t do it,” he said.

Firefighters at Morrison’s station and throughout the district admire him for his commitment, Helland said, noting his age and stamina are remarkable.

Helland said Morrison is likely the oldest active firefighter of the 75 to 85 firefighters in the district, but it’s his dedication to

the job that draws the most praise.

“I don’t think there is someone who doesn’t trust him,” Helland said.

“He’s a quiet guy who won’t turn down an assignment.”

Morrison also is a role model for the community.

While many young men and women sign up as volunteers, most are looking for experience before leaving for paid firefighting jobs elsewhere, Helland said. Older volunteers, who have set careers and lives, are more likely to stay on longer term.

“That continuity is really critical,” Helland said.

Morrison said he has another five years left before he thinks he would have to dial it back.

Even then, he doesn’t plan to step completely aside — he could serve a support role in providing food and water to crews on wildland blazes.

Until then, he’s trying to make it easier for his wife to keep track of his exploits.

“I’ve got to get her a scanner so she can listen when we’re out,” he said.

Happy Birthday: Keep a close watch over your personal papers and investments.

Problems will arise if you are too trusting or quick to take a risk. Bide your time and consider all the pros and cons that go along with making a move that will affect your current situation. Your numbers are 2, 8, 15, 27, 33, 46, 48.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Keep life simple, uncomplicated and focused. Refuse to let emotional issues stir up trouble at home or at work. Focus on how you can be and do your best. �� TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Ask questions and you will find solutions. Helping your community or those less fortunate will raise your profile, but don’t neglect your home or family in the process. It’s important to acknowledge what someone does for you. ���� GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Show initiative when working alongside others, but don’t harness your freedom to be original.

Share your vision and you will gain respect and the support you need to bring your ideas to fruition. ��� CANCER (June 21-July 22): Follow through with an idea you’ve been thinking about pursuing. Gather information and size up your situation. Make your move based on experience as well as intuition. ��� LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You may feel impulsive, but before you make a drastic move, check all the possible outcomes. Someone is likely to withhold information, making it critical that you share your concerns. ��� VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Keep an open

2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Stk B19526B $6,280

mind, but don’t feel obliged to give cash to everyone with an open hand. Put greater emphasis on your goals and use your money as a means to set up an incentive that will make you work harder. ���� LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Work hard and finish what you start. Your reputation should be based on performance, not an emotional situation you are facing or how someone portrays you. �� SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Back away from anyone putting too many demands on you. Focus on the people, places and things you enjoy most in life and refuse to get dragged into situations that you find unsatisfying. ����� SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Secure your money or use it to make changes at home or toward a move you want to make.

Change is good and will help you see new possibilities. Don’t let someone from a different background lead you astray. ��� CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Keep things in perspective and refuse to jeopardize your position to accommodate someone taking advantage of you emotionally, physically or financially. ��� AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’ve got everything going for you, so don’t sit there when you should be making moves that count. Follow through with whatever plans you deem important to your advancement. ��� PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Consider your destination. Strategize how to make your journey run smoothly. Include the people you feel can contribute the most.

Don’t argue with those you have to leave behind. ����� Universal Uclick

Seahawks’ Rice retires

By John Boyle Herald Writer

RENTON — Sidney Rice is only 27, but an injury-filled career has taken its toll on the receiver, and on Wednesday Rice announced his retirement.

Rice, who signed with Seattle in 2011 as one of the first big-money free agents in the Pete Carroll and John Schneider era, did not give a reason for his retirement in the press release put out by the team. However, according to ProFootballTalk.com, he is retiring because of concussion concerns.

Rice’s first season with Seattle ended early after he suffered two concussions in a two-week span.

He has taken other hard hits to the head in his time here, most notably on his game-winning touchdown in Chicago in 2012. Rice has also had operations on his hip, both shoulders, and last year on his knee after a torn ACL ended his 2013 season.

“After careful consideration and seven wonderful years playing in the National Football League, including the last three for the Seattle Seahawks, I have decided to retire from playing in the National Football League,” Rice said in a press release. “I have enjoyed my experiences with all of my coaches, teammates and passionate Seahawks fans.

Was this the day the Seattle Mariners, with their oft-challenged lineup, failed to get a hit?

Turns out, it wasn’t — although Colon retired the first 20 in a row before Robinson Cano lined a two-out single to left field in the seventh inning that dropped several feet in front of Eric Young Jr. After the Mariners avoided that indignity, they knocked out Colon in eighth inning but couldn’t complete the comeback in a 3-2 loss to the Mets in front of a crowd of 36,224.

Darrington High opens its football season at Kickoff Classic

By David Krueger Herald Writer

Darrington High’s football team is getting another shot in Seattle.

The Loggers have been invited to participate in the 2014 WIAA Emerald City Kickoff Classic at Seattle Memorial Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 6. Darrington competed in the event for the first time in 2011, losing to Oroville 22-7 at CenturyLink Field.

“For the kids, and for me, it was just one of those awe-inspiring moments,” said Darrington

athletic director Cory Ross, who serves as an assistant coach for the Loggers. “We walked out and you’re like, ‘This is where the big show happens. This is where the Seahawks play. It’s amazing.’”

The Loggers open the Kickoff Classic, which is entering its 12th year, at 10 a.m. with a Class 2B contest against the Bridgeport Mustangs. Bridgeport is making its first appearance in the event.

Darrington is coming off a strong 2013 campaign that saw the Loggers finish 7-4 and advance to the 2B state tournament.

“I emailed the WIAA last year for the event and they said they’d get back to me,” said Ross, who coaches the offensive and defensive lines. “I just kept saying, ‘You’re going to want to see us next year.’ I really wanted this group of seniors to go where they started and show where they ended up.”

Doug Lenker, Darrington’s head coach, is excited to start the season in Seattle.

“It sets the tone,” he said. “Everybody gets up early and we’re in the big city and it’s a special deal there.

Everybody gets pumped up. ...It’s

Despite the grand surroundings, Lenker and his staff try to emphasize that it’s “just another game.”

“We always tell the kids, ‘No matter the surroundings or the crowd, once you hit the field, it’s business,’” Lenker said. “We do what we need to do and hopefully come out with a win. Once the kickoff goes, we get down to playing football.”

ake your pick, anglers — you can now catch your sockeye with or without the smell of burning timber.

Both Baker Lake and Lake Wenatchee are open and accessible, and both fisheries should be good this weekend.

As of this writing, the total number of sockeye trapped at Lower Baker Dam stood at 10,083 and the total number transferred to Baker Lake was at 5,764. Since state biologist Brett Barkdull said his rule of thumb for “decent” fishing in Baker Lake was about 3,000 fish, things look pretty good.

Barkdull said he felt comfortable with the preseason forecast of 35,400 sockeye returning to the Baker system.

He hit the lake himself Friday, rod in hand, but said fishing was slow and that he wasn’t marking a lot of sockeye.

“I don’t think the fish had enough time at that point to get that far uplake,” he said. “I heard that fishing picked up over the weekend.”

“Action was pretty good Saturday and Sunday for some folks, on both sides of the lake,” said Kevin John at Holiday Sports in Burlington. “We heard that there were a few limits taken.”

The area off Noisy Creek is a good bet on the south shore, as is the area directly across on the north side. Both those areas are uplake from where Baker bends sharply eastward.

John said knowledgeable fishermen start early in the morning at about 20 to 30 feet, and gradually move deeper as the day brightens, to 40 or 45 feet.

The standard sockeye rig, according to John, starts with a size “0” Big Ring dodger in chrome, white, 50/50 or purple haze. He said he likes a dodger with a hammered finish. Follow the dodger with 9 to 14 inches of 25- to 30-pound leader, then

PICK OF THE WEEK | Cowlitz River steelhead

Outdoor calendar

Steelheaders are picking up a few fish at Reiter Ponds on the Skykomish River, but the best bet by far for summer-run action has been the Cowlitz, according to Mike Chamberlain at Ted’s Sport Center in Lynnwood. Over the past 2-3 weeks, boaters have found success from Blue Creek downstream, free drifting Corkies or Cheaters and eggs, or backtrolling a diver/bait combination or diving plugs.

The Sno-King Chapter of the Coastal Conservation Association (CCA) meets at 7:30 p.m. today at the Sammamish Valley Grange in Woodinville (14654 148th Ave. NE). The special guests will be Robert Sendry and Andy Noone of Sound Salmon Solutions. For more information, contact Rick Lindquist at 206-465-6905.

a 1½- or 2-inch mini squid — clear UV pink or hot pink — sitting on two 2/0 red hooks.

Tip the top hook with a pink or purple coonstripe shrimp tail, douse the whole works with shrimp or krill scent, and you’re ready to rumble.

Some fishermen add a smile blade, Barkdull said, but the critical factor is the piece of shrimp.

Lake Wenatchee is going to be the hot fishery, both literally and figuratively, with all the wildfires burning in the general area, but as of Wednesday Highway 2 was open on this side of Stevens Pass to Coles Corner and the turnoff to the lake. Lake Wenatchee State Park also had reopened, and with it the main boat launch on the lake.

To check on road closures, call the state Department of Transportation travel information line at 511 or go to www.wsdot. com/traffic/trafficalerts/default. aspx. For the state park, go to www.parks.wa.gov/alertcenter. aspx?aid=167. For possible season closures, check the fishing hotline at 360-902-2500.

Biologists are so confident that a really big run of sockeye is coming back to Lake Wenatchee that they’ve set the daily limit at six fish. With the proper license endorsement, two rods may be used, with up to three single, barbless hooks per line, no bait or scent allowed.

Some 65,000 sockeye are expected back to Lake Wenatchee from an all-time record run in the Columbia.

Counts at Tumwater Dam on the Wenatchee River stood at 34,000 fish late last week and were adding between 5,000 and 8,000 per day.

Biologist Travis Maitland said

Chamberlain said bank fishermen have been scoring between the trout hatchery and Blue Creek, drifting a float and jig, or a float and eggs.

These are all summer-runs now, Chamberlain said, and dime bright.

State creel checks over the weekend tallied six boat anglers with six steelhead and one spring chinook.

wind over the weekend kept the catch rate a little below what was expected, but that the 40 or so boats on the lake Saturday and Sunday mornings were doing well, with some limits. Maitland said most of the anglers were locals, who came to the lake via the “back door” Chumstick Road between Leavenworth and the lake. There were a few, but not many, fishermen from King and Snohomish counties, he said, blaming the sparse westside participation on the wildfire situation.

He said the fish are in excellent shape and that the low early turnout should provide an extended season.

Most anglers, Maitland said, were using mini-hoochies or two bare hooks behind a 1/0 dodger, and going down 30 to 90 feet.

Sockeye fishing also has been good in the Columbia at Brewster, just below the mouth of the Okanogan, but since Highway 2 is closed between Coles Corner and Leavenworth, access for westsiders is a long haul.

Speed-Crabbing Derby Eddie Adams’ second SpeedCrabbing Derby went off without a hitch over the weekend at the Port of Everett ramp and marina, drawing 75 contestants on 20 teams. Prizes were awarded via a weight-and-time formula, and a four-person team calling itself Crustacean Domination placed first, with 10 Dungeness crab (the two limits the derby allowed) totaling 19.3 pounds, in a time of 4 hours, 11 minutes. Second went to the Krab Kings, 10 crab weighing 18.46 pounds in 3 hours, 43 minutes; third to Got Crab?, 10 crab at 18.36 pounds in 2 hours, 50 minutes; and fourth to last year’s winners, Carpe Cancer, at 19.6 pounds in 5 hours, 38 minutes.

Fastest time was Got Crab?, in 2

hours, 50 minutes, and the largest single crab weighed 2.39 pounds, taken by Team Korry.

Total weight was 282.05 pounds and, at $2.50 per pound of crab entered pledged by sponsors, more than $700 was donated to the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance. For full results, visit www.speedcrabbing.com.

Adams said reports from participants indicated deeper was better, at 90-feet-plus. The south end of Hat Island was a hot spot, and small bays along the west side of Hat, somewhat protected from the heavy tidal run on the Saratoga Passage side of the island, offered crab a longer feeding period. The bar outside Jetty Island was good as well, Adams said.

“And,” he said, “I got this mysterious tip regarding a hot spot located in front of an A-frame house on the southeast side of Whidbey Island.”

The top teams used short soaks — about 30 to 45 minutes — at the outset, to target the crab, Adams said, and then used longer soaks once they were on the lunker males.

Local chinook The popular selective chinook season in Marine Areas 9 and 10 opened July 16, and most anglers were underwhelmed. Gary Krein, owner/skipper of All Star Charters, said the fishery, for hatchery kings, has so far been below what most anglers expected. Pilot Point, Point No Point and Possession Bar have all been slow, and the hot spot the past two years — Port Townsend and Midchannel Bank — hasn’t been that good, either. Krein said the Kingston area was OK the first two or three days, but has slowed since.

“The silver lining is that we haven’t been doing much damage to the recreational quota, and so the season could be extended, maybe into August,” Krein said.

The opening-day check by state personnel at the Port of Everett ramp showed just 10 chinook by 2 p.m.

“That check should have been 40 or more,” Krein said.

STORM | Update

TONIGHT’S GAME New York at Seattle 7 p.m., KeyArena

TV: LiveWell(cable) Radio: None

Scouting Report The Seattle Storm’s first game after the All-Star break went about as bad as the ones before it. After an 89-71 loss to Phoenix on Tuesday, the Storm dropped to 9-16 this season. They are 21⁄2 games behind Los Angeles for the fourth and final playoff spot in the WNBA’s Western Conference, but they are also just a half game up on Tulsa for the worst record in the league.

With nine games remaining, the Storm have to start winning in order to have a chance to make the postseason. Today, they welcome the New York Liberty to KeyArena. At 8-13, the Liberty own the worst record in the Eastern Conference.

In the only other meeting this year between the two teams, Seattle fell 70-64 at Madison Square Garden on May 27.

The two teams are really a mirror image of each other. Seattle comes into the game last in the league in scoring at 70.28 points per game and the Liberty are just one spot better, ranking 11th in the league at 73.19 ppg. After giving up 89 points to Phoenix, the Storm dropped from first to third in the league in points allowed (75.52) just ahead of New York (75.57).

Seattle’s defensive tasks won’t be as difficult as it was against a loaded Phoenix team. New York’s offense comes down to two people: center Tina Charles and guard Cappie Pondexter. Averaging just over 33 points per game between them, the two make up nearly half of the team’s offense.

Playful Pole wins stage; Nibali marches on

By Jamey Keaten Associated Press

PLA D’ADET, France — On the last of four Pyrenees ascents, Rafal Majka winked at a French TV camera and tugged playfully at a motorcycle’s antenna.

Even this late in the Tour de France, the Polish rider made winning look easy as he took Stage 17 on Wednesday.

For Vincenzo Nibali, the second ride in the mountains on France’s border with Spain was more serious. “The Shark” nibbled yet more seconds away from several of his closest challengers, and the yellow jersey that he has worn for all but two days of the race seemed to fit just a little more tightly ahead of the finish Sunday in Paris.

Nibali was even businesslike with his own prime minister, imploring him not to get too ahead of himself in celebration.

“It’s true that I received a text message from Matteo Renzi, who invited me to Chigi Palace to celebrate my victory,” the cautious Sicilian said about the premier’s official residence. “I replied that only after winning — if I do so — I’ll be able to say that I’ll be present.”

The 124.5-kilometer (77-mile) trek Wednesday was the shortest stage in this year’s Tour. It covered three hard Category 1 ascents from Saint-Gaudens and a final push up to Pla d’Adet ski station above the town of Saint-Lary-Soulan.

Majka, who also won Stage 14 in the Alps, again showed he’s the best climber in this Tour and tightened his grip on the polka dot jersey awarded to the race’s King of the Mountains.

Giovanni Visconti got the action going on the last climb with a solo breakaway with about 5.5 miles to go, but could not hold off Majka. Visconti, who also is Sicilian, was second, 29 seconds back, and Nibali was third, 46 seconds behind.

With a last Pyrenean day ahead Thursday, Majka could ensure that

Wednesday At A Glance 17th Stage

PETER DEJONG / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Poland’s Rafal Majka crosses the finish line to win the Tour de France’s 17th stage: 124.5 kilometers (77.4 miles) from Saint-Gaudens to SaintLary, France on Wednesday.

he takes the red-dot jersey home.

His closest rival for it when the stage started was Spain’s Joaquim Rodriguez, who swatted the air in frustration at Majka when the Pole broke away on the last climb.

Majka said he felt “comfort” in the last five kilometers in part because he’d been saving up energy a day earlier by riding easier. He finished in a bunch 24½ minutes behind Australian teammate Michael Rogers, who won Stage 16.

“I felt really, really good in the last climb,” Majka said, after tapping his chest, thrusting his arms skyward and shouting in joy at the victory. “For me, when there are a lot of climbs, it’s the best.”

There was a time when seemingly effortless victories smacked of something more sinister at the Tour: the use of performance-enhancers.

Few know the scars of cycling’s doping past more than Majka’s own manager at the Tinkoff-Saxo Bank team, Bjarne Riis. Once a national hero in Denmark after winning the 1996 Tour, he admitted to using blood-booster EPO more than a decade later — and was vilified for it. He laid low for a while, but then returned to the pro

cycling world.

“I promised Bjarne today that I would win the stage,” said Majka.

The echoes of doping resonated Wednesday on the grassy Pyrenean mountainside: The last times that Saint-Lary-Soulan hosted Tour stage finishes were in 2001 and 2005 — won by Lance Armstrong and teammate George Hincapie. Those wins were later stripped because of doping. Their names have been crossed out in the official Tour history book.

Cycling has made great strides in fighting doping with enhanced blood and urine testing, along with the biological passport program, but few experts would claim that the peloton today is entirely clean.

Nibali, who has called himself a “flag-bearer of anti-doping”, made his latest case to become the first Italian to win cycling’s showcase race in 16 years — since Marco Pantani, who was once convicted for doping.

Nibali gained just under a minute on four of his closest rivals.

Second-placed Alejandro Valverde of Spain, who made a valiant recovery on the last ascent to avoid even more damage, now trails by 5 minutes, 26 seconds.

The second of three high mountain stages in the Pyrenees that will conclude Thursday. Wednesday’s 124.5-km stage between Saint-Gaudens and Pla d’Adet was the shortest stage of this year’s edition but it was far from the easiest, with a beyondcategory summit finish atop Pla d’Adet coming after three first category climbs.

Winner Poland’s Rafal Majka notched his second Tour stage win at this year’s race and the third for his Tinkoff-Saxo team. Majka broke away towards the top of the final climb to finish 29 seconds ahead of Italy’s Giovanni Visconti and 46 seconds ahead of race leader Vincenzo Nibali. The win also tightened Majka’s grip on the polka dot jersey for best climber.

Yellow Jersey Vincenzo Nibali continued to extend his lead over his major rivals with an attack near the top of Pla d’Adet that only one other rider could match. The Sicilian now sits 5 minutes and 26 seconds ahead of Spain’s Alejandro Valverde and 6 minutes ahead of France’s Thibaut Pinot.

Stat of the day

Rafal Majka’s lead, in points, over Vincenzo Nibali in the polka dot jersey competition for best climber.

Quote of the day “I think it’s crazy that Nibali keeps attacking, he’s got such a big lead you’d think he’d be content to follow and let the other guys play it out. He just wants to dominate the race any chance he can.” American rider Tejay van Garderen.

Thursday The 18th stage sends riders 145.5 km from Pau to the summit finish at Hautacam, rated “beyond category” in the Tour jargon to describe the most difficult climbs. Along the way, riders will have to race up and over the legendary Tourmalet climb, a 2,115-meter monster that itself is rated “beyond category.”

Complacency/motivation Will it be an issue for the defending champs? No. Next question.

Oh, you wanted more on this … OK, fine.

Look, there is a good chance the Seahawks won’t win the Super Bowl six months from now. The NFL is set up to create parity. There’s a salary cap, scheduling favors teams that struggled the year before, and in a game as violent as football, a few key injuries can turn the best teams into mediocre ones in a hurry. And let’s not forget that the NFC West is the best division in the NFL, and the NFC has a couple more legit Super Bowl contenders like Green Bay and New Orleans.

So yeah, repeating will be tough, but if the Seahawks fall short, it won’t be due to a lack of motivation. Yes, the Seahawks were everywhere this offseason, from awards shows to national TV interviews to naked magazine shoots to beef jerky commercials, but as much as you might wish it were the case, NFL athletes aren’t focused on football 24/7. In years past, you might not have seen the Seahawks at the ESPYs or on commercials during their downtime, but that doesn’t mean they were spending every waking hour of the offseason working out or delving in their playbooks.

This team understands that it is capable of much more than a single championship. It is led by players like Earl Thomas and Russell Wilson and Richard Sherman who don’t just want to be good, or even great, they want to be considered the best to ever do their jobs. They also understand that their legacy can be much greater than just a team that won a title and faded away the next year. On the day Sherman signed a massive contract, he talked about still being a “raggedy dog” and a few months later he was getting into a fight at a June minicamp.

Plenty of things could stand between the Seahawks and a repeat championship.

Complacency won’t be one of them.

2

Will Marshawn Lynch be there?

The Seahawks’ running back is reportedly unhappy with his contract, and was going to skip last month’s mandatory minicamp right up until he didn’t. If Lynch is serious about getting a new deal for 2014, that could mean a holdout to start camp, though his decision to show up for minicamp seems to indicate he’s willing to negotiate while still participating. Seeing fellow Pro Bowl running back Jamaal Charles get a big raise Wednesday likely only adds to Lynch’s desire to get at least a bit of a raise or more guaranteed money.

3

Assuming Lynch shows up at some point, does his role change in 2014?

Lynch could miss part of camp, but the Seahawks won’t trade him and he won’t forfeit game checks, so barring a very unlikely retirement, he’ll play this season. But will his role change any?

Lynch is 28, an age when running backs often start to slow down a bit, and he has more than 900 carries over the past three years in the regular season alone. That’s a big workload, especially for someone who runs as physically as Lynch does, so it’s possible the Seahawks will look to limit his workload a bit in 2014.

Doing that would not just save Lynch for the postseason, it also would create opportunities for Christine Michael, Seattle’s 2013 second-round pick for whom the team has very high hopes. Carroll and offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell have raved about the progress the running back has made since last year, so it’s hard to imagine him not having an increased role this season. Quite possibly, that increased role could come from a slightly reduced role for Lynch.

4

What receivers will make the team?

The Seahawks will keep five, maybe six receivers on the 53-man roster, and that means, barring injury, some very tough decisions have to be made.

Rice

From Page C1

“I take great pride in knowing I was one of the players signed to help build the foundation of the team that ultimately won the Super Bowl. I’ll be joining the 12s in support of the Seattle Seahawks as they take on the challenge to repeat. I appreciate all of the wonderful opportunities and look forward to establishing myself as a businessman. I will always be a Seahawk!”

The Seahawks released Rice not long after their Super Bowl victory in a salary cap-related move, but then re-signed him for significantly less money later when he didn’t find work with another team.

Even if he had been healthy enough to play this season, and even with Golden Tate now in Detroit,

Percy Harvin, Doug Baldwin, Jermaine Kearse and second-round pick Paul Richardson all seem like safe bets, if not locks, to make the team. If only one or two more receivers are going to make the team, that means players like fourth-round pick Kevin Norwood and Ricardo Lockett could be on the outside looking in when final cuts are made. With Sidney Rice deciding to retire Wednesday, that could make things a little less complicated, but this still should be one of the more competitive groups in camp.

5

Who’s the starting right tackle?

With Breno Giacomini leaving in free agency, right tackle is one of the few starting positions featuring a wide-open battle on either side of the ball.

Michael Bowie, who filled in for an injured Giacomini for part of last season, and who also saw playing time at guard, got the majority of the time with the starters during offseason workouts, but the Seahawks also have high hopes for Justin Britt, a second-round pick out of Missouri.

Don’t expect Carroll and offensive line coach Tom Cable to rush this decision. If they’re willing to rotate left guards for an entire season, they’ll let Bowie and Britt battle throughout camp for the job, and even into the season if necessary.

6

Who backs up Russell Wilson?

More often than not under Pete Carroll and John Schneider, the Seahawks have kept just two quarterbacks on the 53-man roster, and if they go that direction again in 2014, that means either Tarvaris Jackson or Terrelle Pryor, both starters at times in their careers, could be gone before the season begins.

Jackson, Seattle’s starter in 2011 and Russell Wilson’s backup last year, is the favorite in this battle. He knows the offense, is very well respected in Seattle’s locker room, especially for the way he played through a torn pectoral muscle for much of the 2011 season, and quite frankly, he was just a lot better than Pryor in offseason workouts, or at least the ones open to the media.

Pryor, however, is an intriguing prospect, and while Seattle didn’t give up much to get him (the 32nd pick of the seventh round), they still had enough interest to make a move. Pryor definitely did show improvement as offseason workouts progressed, and as the 2012 battle for the starting job showed, Carroll won’t be afraid to wait to make a decision with his backup quarterback.

7

With Russell Wilson in his third year, and with Percy Harvin healthy, will the offense look any different?

Some ask this question wondering if the Seahawks will throw the ball more often, and if you’re approaching it from that angle, the answer is likely no. Sure the Seahawks could throw the ball a bit more, but their run-to-pass ratio won’t change dramatically unless for some reason the Seahawks find themselves frequently trailing late in games, something that seems unlikely given their talent level, especially on defense. Carroll believes in a balanced attack; in setting the tone with a physical running game, and that won’t change in 2014.

That being said, the passing game could look a bit different this season, and we’ll start to get hints of what it might look like when camp begins. As we saw in the Super Bowl, Harvin changes things for an offense, and the Seahawks will look to find ways to get him the ball in space, perhaps with more short, quick passes, or on the fly-sweep type runs we saw twice in the Super Bowl. One of the few criticisms of Wilson so far in his career has been that he’s too reliant on scrambling and making plays after things break down, and not as good at making the quick read and getting rid of the ball, but with speedsters like Harvin and Richardson on the field, the quicker passes could be a bigger part of the offense in 2014. And if you need a reminder that Wilson has those throws in his arsenal, just look back at the way he carved up Denver in February, especially in the second half.

Rice would have had to battle to make the 53-man roster. With Seattle drafting Paul Richardson in the second round and Kevin Norwood in the fourth, the Seahawks had good depth to join Percy Harvin, Doug Baldwin and Jermaine Kearse, who enjoyed a breakout 2013 season.

Because Rice doesn’t play on special teams, he realistically would have needed to be one of Seattle’s top three or four receivers to merit a roster spot.

Rice, who was drafted by Minnesota in the second round of the 2007 draft, finishes his career with 243 receptions for 3,592 yards and 30 touchdowns. His best season came in 2009 when he had 83 catches for 1,312 yards and eight touchdowns. His most productive year in Seattle was 2012 when he had 50 catches for 748 yards and seven scores.

He was never able to stay healthy enough to live up to expectations that came with the contract he signed in 2011, but by being Carroll and Schneider’s first big signing, he helped legitimize their rebuilding effort.

Rice was also a leader in the locker room and was very well respected by his teammates, as was evident in the outpouring of support on social media following his announcement.

“The entire organization would like to thank Sidney for his leadership over the past three seasons,” said general manager John Schneider said in a press release. “His time as a Seahawks player displayed the core values that Pete and I aimed to bring to the program and Sidney is a true champion. We wish him nothing but the best in his future endeavors.”

Broncos owner giving up control Associated Press ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Even as dementia began to rob him of some of his fondest memories over the past few years, Denver Broncos owner Pat Bowlen reported to work every day to oversee multimillion-dollar upgrades to the team’s training facilities and roster.

So his absence from Dove Valley headquarters on Wednesday as players reported for physicals on the eve of training camp was as jarring as the announcement that the 70-year-old Bowlen was giving up control of the team because of Alzheimer’s disease.

“This place will never be the same,” a choked-up general manager John Elway said. “... It’s going to be very hard to not see him walk through the front doors every day.”

Yet, Elway and team president Joe Ellis pledged to continue Bowlen’s legacy and winning culture he fostered during his long stewardship of the franchise.

Ellis is adding the title of chief executive officer and will have final say on all matters.

“Mr. Bowlen has entrusted Joe to take his spot and he couldn’t have appointed a better guy to step in for Pat,” Elway said. “Joe’s a guy that bleeds orange and blue.”

Ownership of the franchise is held in a trust Bowlen set up more than a decade ago in hopes that one of his seven children will one day run the team, Ellis said Bowlen asked him to run that trust.

Davis reports 49ers’ camp SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Tight end Vernon Davis ended his offseason holdout and reported to 49ers training camp on time Wednesday.

Davis skipped June’s mandatory minicamp and earlier offseason workouts in hopes of a better contract. His deal expires after the 2015 season.

Chiefs, RB Charles reach deal KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Pro Bowl running back Jamaal Charles has agreed to a contract extension with the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Chiefs announced the deal Wednesday but did not disclose terms of the contract. Various media reports, including from NFL.com and ESPN, put Charles’ two-year extension, which runs through the 2017 season, at $18 million.

The six-year NFL veteran ran for 1,287 yards and 12 touchdowns last year to help the Chiefs reach the playoffs. He also had 70 catches for 693 yards and seven more TDs as Kansas City went 11-5 before losing to Indianapolis in an AFC wildcard game.

Gronkowski cleared to play FOXBOROUGH, Mass.— Rob Gronkowski has been cleared to play at the New England Patriots training camp.

The star tight end missed the last three regu-

lar-season games and both playoff games after suffering a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee when he was hit by Cleveland Browns safety T.J. Ward. Gronkowski underwent surgery in January.

He also missed the first six games while recovering from forearm and back operations. He played just seven games last season and finished with 39 catches and four touchdowns.

Setback for Pouncey MIAMI — Miami Dolphins’ starting center Mike Pouncey will begin camp on the physically unable to perform list. He needed surgery to repair a torn labrum in his hip last month and is expected to miss the start of the season. Though the best-case scenario is he’ll be back in late September, there is now concern he could be shelved for the first half of the season.

Cardinals’ pair sidelined GLENDALE, Ariz. — Arizona Cardinals safety Tyrann Mathieu and nose tackle Alamdea Ta’amu will begin training camp on the physically unable to perform list as they recover from last season’s injuries.

Considered a risky pick after his legal troubles at LSU, Mathieu rehabilitated his image with a superb rookie season after the Cardinals drafted him in the third round. Mathieu’s season ended in early December when he tore two knee ligaments while returning a free kick against St. Louis.

Ta’Amu tore his ACL in a season-ending loss to San Francisco. No timetable has been set for their return.

Jaguars’ Sanders suspended JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The NFL has suspended Jacksonville Jaguars receiver Ace Sanders without pay for the first four games of the season for violating the league’s substance-abuse policy.

Sanders, a second-year pro from South Carolina, said he would not appeal. He said “personal issues” caused his misstep.

Eagles’ Johnson suspended PHILADELPHIA — Philadelphia Eagles offensive tackle Lane Johnson has been suspended for the first four games of the season for violating the NFL’s performance-enhancing drugs policy. The fourth pick in the 2013 draft will be eligible to return to the Eagles’ active roster Sept. 29.

Kluwe lawsuit on hold MINNEAPOLIS — Former Minnesota Vikings punter Chris Kluwe is backing away from his threat to sue the team over alleged discrimination — for now.

Kluwe vowed last week to sue because he was unhappy with the team’s resolution of his complaint against special teams coordinator Mike Priefer for alleged anti-gay slurs.

The Vikings suspended Priefer for three games and made a donation to gay advocacy groups that was less than Kluwe wanted. He also accused the team of cutting him over his activism in favor of gay marriage in Minnesota, a claim the team denied.

Kluwe attorney Clayton Halunen said he and Vikings attorney Joe Anthony had both agreed to recommend to their clients that they continue settlement discussions.

LeBron sends cupcakes to neighbors Herald news services BATH, Ohio — A white 15-passenger van crept along the streets of Bath Township; behind it trailed a Chevy Surburban.

On board both vehicles, all boxed up by the dozen, were what will forever be known as The Apology cupcakes.

Tuesday evening, the owners and employees of Baker Blvd. Decadent Desserts in Fairlawn dropped off the cupcakes to surprised residents in LeBron James’ neighborhood in Bath Township.

It was the James family’s sweet way of saying it was sorry. Included with the individual boxes of cupcakes was an apologetic note from James for the chaos earlier this month in the neighborhood.

Fans and news reporters crowded outside James’ Idlebrook Drive home after he announced he was leaving the Miami Heat to return to the Cavaliers.

Baker Blvd. made 65 dozen cupcakes for the neighbors and five dozen for Bath Township police and a security guard outside LeBron’s property.

That’s 840 cupcakes in all.

A note accompanying the cupcakes said, “We know things have been hectic in the neighborhood these past few weeks and we are sorry for the chaos. We are so thankful to live in this wonderful community and we are so blessed to have understanding neighbors like you.

“As a gesture of our gratitude and appreciation, our family wants to give you something that is meaningful to us, our foundation’s cupcakes.

We hope you enjoy the treat! Savannah, LeBron, Bronny and Bryce.”

James’ neighbors received six Baker Blvd.

“Just a Kid from Akron Cherry Cola” cupcakes and six “Homecourt Chocolate Chunk” cup cakes. Both flavors were created on behalf of the LeBron James Family Foundation.

Mavs void Lewis’ pact DALLAS — The Dallas Mavericks have voided the contract of veteran forward Rashard Lewis because the free agent needs surgery on his right knee.

President of basketball operations Donnie Nelson said Wednesday the team discovered the need for surgery during a physical. Lewis had signed a one-year deal for the veteran minimum of $1.4 million.

The 34-year-old Lewis spent the past two seasons mostly coming off the bench in Miami. He averaged 4.5 points last season.

He was expected to back up Dirk Nowitzki at power forward.

Barnes asks for help SACRAMENTO, Calif.

— Los Angeles Clippers forward Matt Barnes is asking for the public’s help to track down the man police say killed his aunt in Northern California.

Barnes took to his Twitter and Instagram accounts Tuesday, asking anyone who knows the whereabouts of 51-year-old Michael Williams of Sacramento to call police.

Barnes also posted photos of Williams on his accounts. Williams is married to Barnes’ aunt, 48-yearold Tanganyika Williams.

Sacramento police say Michael Williams is suspected of fatally stabbing his wife. Her body was found lying on a street July 8.

Felton pleads guilty NEW YORK — Dallas Mavericks point guard Raymond Felton pleaded guilty Wednesday in a New York gun case, taking a plea deal that involved admitting a felony but spares him jail.

right-field wall. A few more inches, and the score is tied.

Instead, Miller settled for an RBI double.

“I was thinking, ‘Get up,’” Miller said, “but I didn’t think it was going to be high enough. Man, that would have been sweet.”

It was, instead, merely sweet enough to finish Colon.

When the Mets brought in Jeurys Familia, the Mariners countered by sending up Willie Bloomquist to bat for Jesus Sucre.

Bloomquist’s soft grounder up the middle resulted, initially, in an RBI single, but the Mets challenged, and replays overturned the call. Bloomquist was out at first.

Ackley still scored, but the tying run, Miller, was now at third with two outs — instead of runners at first and third with one out.

Familia held the lead by striking out Endy Chavez.

Jenrry Mejia secured Colon’s victory by working around singles

by Cano and Hart in a scoreless ninth.

While Colon resurrected his past, the Mariners took a possible look at their future by recalling righthander Taijuan Walker from Class AAA Tacoma prior to the game.

Walker flashed the potential of a prized prospect and the gap remaining to realize it. He also was optioned back to Tacoma afterward; a corresponding move will be made prior to Thursday’s game against Baltimore.

“He was OK,” McClendon said.

“Command of the fastball has got to get better, and he will get better. This young man is 21 years old. Most kids 21 are still in college. He’s going to be a pretty good pitcher at this level.”

Walker (1-2) worked in the mid-90s and gave up two runs and just two hits in five-plus innings, but he also walked six while striking out five and threw just 51 of 94 pitches for strikes.

“I definitely didn’t like the walks,” he said, “but it was a step in the right direction. Something to build off. A lot more positives than negatives.

“The fastball command was better. Later in the game, it wasn’t there, but I battled and kept the team in it as much as I could.”

The lack of command produced a scary moment when Walker beaned Ruben Tejada in the fifth inning. Tejada left the game under his own power.

“I’ve never hit anyone in the head before,” Walker said. “And with a fastball, it was definitely scary. I heard he was OK. So thank goodness.”

The Mets finished with just four hits — one less than the Mariners, actually — but scored single runs in the first and sixth innings against Walker and in the seventh against Dominic Leone.

That was enough, just barely, for the Mets to win a series against Mariners for the first time in history. The Mariners also lost for the ninth time in 14 games, and their wild-card lead continues to dwindle.

Concern?

“There’s a lot of games left,” Cano said. “The last thing we can do is hang our heads and start worrying about it. We’ve just got to turn the page and just move on.”

Taijuan Walker pitched five-plus innings against the Mets on Wednesday, allowing two runs on two hits while walking six and striking out five.

Walker returns to Tacoma

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

SEATTLE — Right-hander Taijuan Walker is following Erasmo Ramirez back to the Triple-A Tacoma because the Seattle Mariners plan to use Monday’s open date to bypass the fifth starter on their next cycle through the rotation.

Walker got the word after pitching five-plus innings in Wednesday’s 3-2 loss to the Mets.

“I know there are things I need to work on,” he said. “I’d rather come up here at my best so I can come up here and stay up here. So go down there, get my work done and,

hopefully, come back and at my best.”

Manager Lloyd McClendon plans to bring back Hisashi Iwakuma, who starts Thursday against Baltimore, on normal rest to pitch next Tuesday in Cleveland.

The Mariners are expected to replace Walker with a position player. They cleared space Wednesday for Walker by optioning Ramirez back to Tacoma after he pitched seven innings in Tuesday’s 3-1 loss to the Mets.

Monday’s open date means the Mariners won’t need a fifth starter until Aug. 2 in Baltimore.

If all goes as expected, lefthander James Paxton figures

to reclaim that spot after nearly four months on the disabled list.

Paxton threw 60 pitches Tuesday over three innings in a rehab start at Tacoma in his recovery from a strained back muscle. He then threw 10 more pitches in the bullpen to build his endurance.

Barring setbacks, Paxton should throw 75-80 pitches in his next start at Tacoma, which would position him to step into the Aug. 2 slot against the Orioles.

If Paxton isn’t ready, the Mariners could also opt for Walker or Ramirez. Both would be eligible to return from the minors

by Aug. 2.

M’s pick up extra pick in 2015 draft

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

SEATTLE — The Seattle Mariners will an extra pick in the 2015 draft — the third pick after the second round — as a result of the competitive-balance lottery held Wednesday in New York.

The 13 clubs that either play in one of the 10 smallest markets or have one of the 10 lowest revenue pools were eligible for one of six picks after the first round (Competitive Balance Round A).

The seven clubs that didn’t win one of those picks went into a second lottery, along with the Mariners and Minnesota, were eligible for one of six picks after the second round (Competitive Balance Round B).

The Mariners and Minnesota qualified for the second lottery as clubs that currently receive revenue-sharing funds.

One distinguishing characteristic about competitive-balance picks is they can be traded in advance of the draft. Clubs are prohibited from trading regular draft picks.

The Round A winners (in order): Miami, Colorado, St. Louis, Milwaukee, San Diego and Cleveland.

The Round B winners (in order): Cincinnati, Oakland, Mariners, Minnesota, Baltimore and Arizona.

Eligible clubs that failed to get a pick: Kansas City, Pittsburgh and Tampa Bay.

Rumor mill It’s a distraction but, yes, righthander Taijuan Walker is paying attention as his name gets linked to various trade rumors.

“It’s kind of hard not to,” he said.

“Especially when you’ve got family and friends always calling and asking ... ‘Hey, you going here? You going there?’ That’s tough, but you try

Five clubs make postseason.

In each case, the Mariners ranked behind Oakland, Los Angeles, Detroit and Baltimore. And in each case, they had a reasonable margin over the No. 6 club.

EVERETT — Wednesday’s Northwest League game between the Everett AquaSox and the Boise Hawks at Everett Memorial Stadium was rained out.

Wednesday’s rainout will be made up as part of a doubleheader Friday at Everett Memorial Stadium. The teams will play two seven-inning games, with the first game beginning at 5:35 p.m. The doubleheader was not scheduled for Thursday because of the possibility of more rain.

Tickets from Wednesday’s game can be exchanged for any other regular season game.

Padres’ Maybin suspended for 25 games Associated Press CHICAGO — San Diego Padres outfielder Cameron Maybin was suspended 25 games by Major League Baseball on Wednesday for testing positive for an amphetamine.

Maybin said in a statement released by the Major League Baseball Players Association the failed test was the result of a change in the medication he was using to treat Attention Deficit Disorder.

“I have been undergoing treatment for several years for a medical condition, Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), for which I previously had a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE). Unfortunately, in my attempts to switch back to a medicine that had been previously OK’d, I neglected to follow all the rules and as a result I tested positive,” Maybin said. “I want to assure everyone that this was a genuine effort to treat my condition and I was not trying in any way to gain an advantage in my baseball career.”

Under the drug agreement between MLB and its players’ union, 25 games is the penalty for a second positive amphetamine test. A first positive results only in six unannounced follow-up tests over the next year.

The 27-year-old Maybin was batting .247 with one home run and nine RBI in 62 games this season.

“I understand that I must accept responsibility for this mistake and I will take my punishment and will not challenge my suspension. I apologize to my family, friends, fans, teammates, and the entire Padres organization. I look forward to returning to the field and contributing to the success of my club.”

Padres President and CEO Mike Dee and manager Bud Black responded in statements.

“I’m disappointed in Cameron’s violation of MLB’s Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment program, but I am pleased that he’s taking responsibility for his mistake,” Dee said. “The joint agreement was put into place to protect both the player and the game, and the Padres fully support it.”

MLB permits an exemption for players with attention deficit disorder. The annual report from the drug program’s independent administrator, Dr. Jeffrey M. Anderson, said 119 therapeutic use exemptions were granted for ADD drugs in the year ending with the conclusion of the 2013 World Series.

There were seven positive tests for Adderall in that span that resulted in discipline.

The News Tribune

HOLLYWOOD, Calif.

— The poster on Connor Halliday’s bedroom wall, he swears, should not be interpreted as a motto applied whenever the Washington State quarterback surveys a defense, particularly with four receivers lined up in coach Mike Leach’s pass-centric scheme.

It began a couple years ago as a joke among WSU fans, a graphic that circulated on the fan site CougCenter.com, then on Twitter, and drew the admiration of those who believed Halliday to be the Cougars’ ticket to a winning record. He thought it was pretty funny, too. And so his mom turned it into a poster.

Emblazoned with an outline of Halliday’s likeness, it reads: “(Expletive).

Go deep.” You can fill in the blanks.

“The poster’s cool, and I think I had it on my Twitter page, the one that got taken down before with Leach, and so the fact that I had it up, everybody thought that ‘oh, Connor Halliday is in love with going deep,’” Halliday said Wednesday afternoon at Paramount Studios, site of this year’s Pac-12 media days. “I just like the poster.

The poster is real cool. I wasn’t trying to take that

‘go deep’ mindset into every play.”

Regardless, a reputation was born: Connor Halliday, gunslinger. Viewers of WSU game broadcasts who take a drink every time that word is mentioned likely won’t remain conscious after halftime.

And it’s not as if his performance hasn’t reflected at least a desire to make big plays. His first extensive playing time came as a redshirt freshman in 2011, when he completed 27 of 36 passes for a then-Pac-10 freshman record 494 yards, four touchdowns and, notably, zero interceptions in a surprising victory over Arizona State, dropping deep throws perfectly into the hands of receivers and leaving fans clamoring for more.

The next season, Leach’s first at WSU, provided far fewer highlights. Halliday split time with senior Jeff Tuel, neither player seizing the starting job, and wound up completing just 52.2 percent of his passes with 15 touchdowns and 13 interceptions.

Progress was made in 2013, when Halliday helped lead WSU to its first bowl appearance since 2003 (the Cougars were picked by media to finish fifth in the Pac-12 North this year, with Washington picked third), threw an astonishing 714 passes,

tallying 4,597 yards and 34 touchdowns ... to go along with 22 interceptions.

That’s a number he says is inflated due to his number of pass attempts (true), but one he concedes he needs to trim. Part of his high-risk, high-reward repertoire was born from a youth and prep career that often yielded positive results when making the tougher throw.

“I was never told, ‘all right, this guy is running a fade. If he’s not wide open, don’t throw it to him,’” Halliday said. “I could always throw things way better than anybody and I always made throws that other people didn’t make, so I just did it. I was never told ‘if that’s not wide open, just take it to the 5-yard route.’”

But the affable Halliday, who entertained the media here on Wednesday with his typically brutal honesty and thoughtful insight, says he knows what he has to do to improve his ball control.

In two words: composure and progression. And, maybe more importantly, stop “playing mad,” applying the advice given to him

by All-Pro quarterback Peyton Manning earlier this summer while Halliday helped as a counselor at the Manning Passing Academy.

Manning tries to “get back to zero” before every

series, emphasizing a short memory and evenkeeled demeanor.

That’s the goal, Halliday said, as well as “not trying to force the ball downfield because I feel like we need to score 14 points right now.”

“The biggest deal is limiting (interceptions) to 1-2 times a game. Not having the four picks against Oregon or the three picks against Auburn,” Halliday said, referencing two of his more frustrating games in 2013. “Limit it to one or two and bounce back right afterward. Don’t let it frustrate me for the rest of the game or the rest of the drive.”

And the progression.

He tells it this way: if the first read is a post, and the receiver is covered, look for the second read.

If that’s an out-route, and the linebacker is on it?

Don’t throw it, even if it’s a throw he can make nine out of 10 times.

“Well, the 10th time, I don’t get it high enough, the linebacker picks it off, you know what I mean?

When I’ve got that drag route right in front of me that I’m going to get a completion on,” he said.

“That’s been my problem coming from when I was young up to now, is seeing a throw I make eight out of 10 times, but two out of 10 times it’s going to be a pick.”

Sarkisian rooting for UW, regrets radio interview

By Christian Caple The News Tribune

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — There is nothing for Steve Sarkisian to regret about being the first-year coach at USC. But Sarkisian, who coached the last five years at Washington, said on Wednesday at Pac-12 media day that there is one part of his departure from UW that he wishes he’d handled differently.

On Monday, Dec. 2, the day Sarkisian officially left his position with the Huskies to become coach at USC, he conducted his weekly Monday morning interview with host Mitch Levy on Sports Radio KJR 950 AM. By then, rumors had circulated that Sarkisian had interviewed for USC’s vacant coaching job. Sarkisian, somewhat famously now, told Levy he hadn’t formally interviewed, and downplayed the idea that he was on his way out of town.

A few hours later, he was on his way out of town.

On Wednesday, he conceded that might not have been the best way to handle it.

“Honestly, in hindsight, I probably shouldn’t have done that interview that morning, but I had

committed to the interview,” Sarkisian said. “And I did the interview, there was nothing done, I hadn’t accepted the job at USC yet. Hindsight’s 20/20 in those moments. I probably should have stayed out of interviews and stayed away from cameras. But I did it. I tried to handle it to the best of my ability.

“So looking back, probably the biggest mistake was just going on-air. And Mitch did his job. I’m not upset with Mitch at all. I have a great deal of respect for Mitch. He did his job. I tried to answer the questions as best I could.

Unfortunately it didn’t come out the best way I would have liked, but that’s life. You try to keep moving forward.”

As for Washington and its hire of first-year coach Chris Petersen — who is scheduled to meet here with media on Thursday along with offensive lineman Ben Riva and linebacker Hau’oli Kikaha — Sarkisian was complimentary.

“I’m happy for the University of Washington. I’m happy for those players. I think Coach Petersen is a very good football coach,” Sarkisian said. “I have a great deal of respect for him.

Generally when you’re a coach and in opposition, you don’t really pull for different teams.

You just kind of watch games and you get a feel. I can honestly say I’m going to be rooting for those guys this fall. We obviously don’t play them. They’re in a different division. I want those kids to have a great experience. We put a lot of time and effort into that program over the last five years and I want success for those kids.”

Rookwood in business but older pottery most valuable

R

ookwood pottery probably is the most famous of the art potteries made in the United States in the late 19th and 20th centuries. It was started by Maria Longworth Nichols of Cincinnati in 1880, the first of many art potteries founded by women.

She saw some French Haviland pottery at the 1876 Centennial Exhibition, and after experimenting she was able to make pottery with similar decorations.

In 1880, she started the Rookwood pottery where they made white graniteware and yellow clay pieces. By the next year they were making vases with underglaze blue or brown prints, some

with Japanese inspired designs. A few years later the main product had “standard glaze,” a more even-shaded glaze. Rookwood used many glazes, decorating techniques and designs before it went bankrupt in 1941, and it has been bought and sold several times since then.

The company now makes new items, architectural tiles and art pottery. The best of Rookwood sells for high prices, modern pieces for very little. But the company has always marked pieces with marks that can be dated. The most famous is the RP mark with flames. After 1900, Roman numerals were added that give the year of

manufacture. One unusual Rookwood piece that collectors like is the advertising tile made in 1915.

It was given to stores that had Rookwood pottery in the giftware section. Today the 4-inch-by-8inch tile picturing a bird called a rook sells for more than $5,000.

Q: I have a solid oak glider rocking chair that belonged to my grandparents, who were married in 1894. The label on the underside of the seat reads “Wisconsin Chair Co.” Can you tell me something about this company and if the rocker has any value as a collectible?

PLANT OF MERIT What: Gaillardia aristata “Arizona Sun” is a continuous blooming perennial that is well suited to either containers or a mixed border planting. Native to the American prairie, it is commonly called the blanket flower because of its resemblance to the colors found in American Indian blankets. It can be found growing along prairie roadways all the way into the Rocky Mountain region.

This plant produces masses of 3-inch red and orange blooms from early spring through fall.

Recognitions include the 2005

GARDEN NOTEBOOK

All-American Selection Flower Award and the 2005 Fleuroselect Gold Medal Award.

Sun or shade: This plant thrives in full sun.

Size: It is a perfect selection for “front of the border” plantings as it is a manageable 8 to 12 inches in height and 12 inches in width.

See it: At the WSU Snohomish County Master Gardener Demonstration Garden at McCollum Park, 600 128th Street SE, Everett.

The people who regularly visit the Evergreen Arboretum and Gardens know what a treasure it is.

Located on more than three acres at the south end of Legion Memorial Park in Everett, the free arboretum has 10 theme gardens including a Japanese maple grove, a native plant trail and a rain garden.

Each season brings a new view of the gardens, and the outdoor sculpture collection is not to be missed.

Volunteers keep the arboretum looking great while offering docent tours and free classes.

The city’s arboretum is supported by donations and its annual plant sale.

Currently, volunteers in the Evergreen Arboretum Foundation are raising money to complete the south end of the arboretum with gardens, walkways, an art installation and seating.

People who are able to donate $250 or more can have their names and brief messages engraved on stainless steel oak leaves to be placed in the gardens. For more information, call 425-257-8597.

Arboretum tours: Evergreen Arboretum and Gardens are

open dawn to dusk daily at 145 Alverson Blvd., Everett. More information is available at www. evergreenarboretum.com or by calling 425-257-8597.

Rose garden tour Gardening enthusiasts and people who like to stop and smell roses are invited to the sixth annual Rose Garden Open House at The Gardens at Rosehaven in Stanwood.

The free event is 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. July 26 at 2909 280th St. NW in Stanwood. It is hosted by Len and Marilyn Heller, owners of The Gardens at Rosehaven, along with the Tri-Valley Rose Society.

Parking is next to the garden.

Guests are encouraged to meander through the garden, take photos and just enjoy the peace.

The private rose garden contains more than 1,250 roses.

Hardy Canadian roses, gallicas native to southern and central Europe, dainty-but-rugged rugosa roses, classic hybrid tea varieties and vibrant foetidas grace the garden.

Recently Len Heller added 200 roses to the garden, including 65 polyantha roses, which bloom prolifically between June and September.

The garden also is filled with inspirational artwork and symbolic displays.

Heller, who majored in anthropology in college, has an interest in American Indian symbolism, which is evident among the artwork found throughout the garden’s landscape.

Heller, a consulting rosarian for the American Rose Society, will be available to answer questions about growing roses.

Tour Marysville garden Last year, the city of Marysville gave Michael and Janet Elmore a Pride of Marysville Neighborhood Award. The home, which has a garden railroad and lush garden in back, was chosen for its total good looks.

This year, the couple is giving back. They are opening their yard and “Drizzle & Downpour RR” to the public to tour from noon to 6 p.m. August 2. Admission is food or donation to the Marysville Food Bank. Collection boxes will be in front of the home, 11800 47th Dr. NE, Marysville. For more information, email drizzle_downpour@ msn.com.

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.

BACKYARD SANCTUARY MONTH!

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

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.

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.

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

LIVING SMART | Angie Hicks

De-clutter and organize before school resumes P

eople often think of January or spring as high seasons for home organization. But for those of us with school-age kids, late summer is prime time to clear excess and create a better system to handle what’s left and what’s on the way.

Plus, if you de-clutter before classes resume, you could plan a garage or yard sale that could fund a school-supply shopping trip or last-minute visit to the zoo or water park.

There’s an easy way to approach reorganizing any area of your house. It’s a shorthand version of tips from top-rated professional organizers that you could call the 2-D method: Decide: Pick a room or even just part of one. Quickly, without allowing time for second thoughts, sort everything into

Kovel From Page D1

A: The Wisconsin Chair Co. was in business in Port Washington, Wisc., from 1888 to 1954. The company began making McLean Patent Swing Rockers in 1891. By the next year the Wisconsin Chair Co. was making a line of “fancy floor rockers and platform spring rockers,” declaring that “all of our designs for 1892 are new and tasty.”

The company was the largest employer in Port Washington. The factory was destroyed by a fire in 1899 but was rebuilt and the company continued to make chairs until it closed in 1954. Montgomery Ward sold several styles of McLean Patent Swing Rockers in its 1895 catalog for about $3 or $4. Platform rockers don’t sell well today. Your rocker might be worth $100-$200.

Q: I have an oak spool cabinet with nine drawers.

It reads “Willimantic Co.” on the top drawer. There is a picture of an owl with a spool of thread around its neck. It is sitting on a branch with the moon behind it. It has the original hardware and lettering on six of the drawers. Can you tell me its age and value?

A: Austin Dunham and Lawson Ives bought a cotton mill in Willimantic, Conn., in 1854 and founded the Willimantic Linen Co. The company began making thread for sewing machines soon after. Before the 1850s, colored thread came in skeins, and black and white thread came on spools. Willimantic was one of the first to make colored thread on spools. The owl was a logo used by the company. The company opened a factory to make wooden spools in Howard, Maine, in 1879.

The name of the town was changed to Willimantic in 1881. Willimantic Linen Co. became part of the American Thread Co. in 1898. Your spool cabinet was probably made in the late 1800s. Its value is more than $1,000.

Q: I have a Beatles metal lunch box made by Aladdin Industries. It’s light blue with the faces of the four Beatles and facsimiles of their autographs on the front and a picture of the band playing their instruments on the back. It has a small amount of rust and the original thermos is missing. The inside has a poem about safety rules from the National Safety Council. I’ve seen these sell for upward of $1,000 on the Internet and I’m wondering what this is worth.

A: Don’t believe every price you see on the Internet. Look for prices of items that actually sold.

Sellers can ask high prices, but items don’t always sell for that much. Lunch boxes in good condition, with no rust, and complete with thermos sell for the highest prices. A lunch box like yours with thermos sold for

three piles or containers: Toss, Keep and Donate/Sell.

Designate: Find a place for everything that stays, storing things near where they’re used and putting like items together.

For example, keep school supplies where homework is done, and sneakers, boots, umbrellas and coats near the door you use most often. Designate a place for each item, at appropriately accessible heights and locations.

Some of you will be fine with the 2-D method alone. But here are additional pro-organizer tips for tackling specific challenges: Children’s artwork: Aim to keep work that reflects special moments, such as self-portraits or the first time a child writes his or her name. One mom I know has an inbox for all school and art papers. She sorts it quarterly,

Q: I have an Emmett Kelly Jr. Collection figurine called “The Teacher.” It’s marked “Flambro, made in Taiwan, Republic of China.”

Is it worth anything?

A: “The Teacher” is one of several figurines made of Weary Willie, a clown dressed as a hobo. The character was created in 1933, during the height of the Depression by Emmett Kelly Jr.’s father, who also was a circus performer.

Emmett Kelly Jr. (19232006) performed as “Weary Willie” from 1960 until 2006. Flambro Imports was in business in Atlanta, Ga., from 1965 to 2006. The company imported figurines, giftware and other items. Flambro sold more than one line of Emmett Kelly Jr. figurines, and prices vary. Your figurine was made between 1987 and 2002 and sells for about $50 today.

several hours per closet. Remove everything. Sort into categories by type: pants, skirts, tops, shoes, etc. Evaluate each item, separating out what you want to donate, sell or have repaired. Organize the rest by category, color and season.

Housework: In a central area, designate a bin for each family member, into which you place stray items that loved ones put away weekly. To keep housework manageable, focus on one task per day. For example, designate one day for dusting, another for vacuuming, etc.

Kitchen: Discard or recycle mismatched storage containers.

Store lids in the largest container; stack the rest inside each other. Increase storage space by extending kitchen cabinets to the ceiling, hanging pots from a rack,

or when it gets too high. Some things she keeps, some things she photographs. The key is to periodically edit, with the goal of keeping just a handful of art examples per year, per child.

Store “keepers” in a large, underbed storage box. When that’s full, sort again. And as your child matures and understands that not everything can be kept, he or she can help with sorting.

Your desk or personal work area: For some of us, it’s the kitchen counter or dining room table. Wherever it is, keep the surface clear of what isn’t used often.

Create a filing system that lets you quickly find what you need. Set up an “inbox” for new bills/fliers/ mail and an “outbox” for completed items. File finished work as it’s done, or on a regular schedule.

Closets: Plan to set aside

and adding partitions, turntables or stacking platforms to drawers and cabinets.

Garage: With sidewalk chalk, section off your driveway into Toss, Keep and Donate/Sell areas.

Break the Keep area into subcategories, such as tools, pet supplies, yard care, sports items and paint supplies. When putting things back, store like items together.

Organizing your home can be a rewarding do-it-yourself project that you can accomplish over weeks or months. But if you lack time, ability or desire, consider hiring a top-rated organizer to advise you or take on the project.

Other service providers who can help include trash haulers and estate sale experts.

inspiration for their own gardens, Rowe said.

At the Devney-Palmer garden, tour participants are encouraged to allow extra time to see it all.

People will enter from the back of the property through a pergola situated in the middle of a hedge of the perennial grass miscanthus, which the couple started from just one plant.

The north end of the yard also features a 30-foot sequoia tree that Palmer brought home not so many years ago when the redwood was 6-feet tall and could still fit in his VW van.

Much of garden was once pasture land. With hard work and a borrowed tractor, the couple smoothed the back yard and even added a shuffleboard court.

In the back garden, lavender and lilies add color and fragrance to berm flower beds shaded

by Katsura trees. Also beautiful right now are hydrangea, alliums, crocosmia, raspberry and blueberry.

Adjacent to the back garden is the dog park belonging to their goldendoodle, Mac. This is no messy dog park. It includes an Eskimo sunset maple, a big Douglas fir, rhododendrons and an artful gong. The wood and iron fences leading to the dog park (and located in other spots in the garden) were built by Steve Delong, who also constructed the couple’s greenhouse.

The centerpiece of the Devney-Palmer garden is a cedar building they call the garden room. Built by their friend Michael Ballas, it has accordion doors on three sides and beautiful fireplace on the fourth.

PHOTOS BY IAN TERRY / THE HERALD

A hardy Chinese banana tree grows next to a green house on Steve Palmer and Kiki Devney’s property in Snohomish.

It’s party central at their house and in use most of the year because it’s just as nice in the rain or snow.

Palmer is an attorney in town and Devney has a massage therapy and acupressure practice, also in Snohomish.

After work and after the weeds are pulled, the garden room is the place where they like sit to look at their little waterfall and listen to the birds and frogs.

Garden art and topiary play roles in the garden, so watch for those, too, especially in the front yard shade garden, which surrounds a potted full-moon maple. Mature trees on the property also include magnolia and dogwood.

Perhaps the highlight of the Devney-Palmer garden are the tropicals such as banana, rose of Sharon hibiscus, small bamboo and canna. To protect them, the cannas are dug up each winter and placed in the greenhouse, Devney said.

The banana trees can reach 25 to 30 feet in summers following mild winters. The fruit isn’t big, but the purple blossom looks just like those in Hawaii, Palmer said.

A lotus flower sits in a pond at Steve Palmer and Kiki Devney’s home in Snohomish. The couple had the pond installed eight years ago.

In harsh winters, he covers his small banana groves in burlap. This year, the banana trees are about 15-feet tall.

“It’s been nice to bring a bit of the tropics to our own garden,” Palmer said.

Other gardens on the tour include a rehabilitated dried, sloping front yard, now festooned with flowers, a Victorian cottage garden surrounding a Queen Anne home, a private back garden with a cabana and fireplace, and a garden on the Ohlde homestead decorated with an old Allis-Chalmers tractor.

Snohomish Garden Club helps its members improve their skills, offers scholarships to graduating

high school students going into horticulture, makes grants to organizations for horticulture studies or beautification projects and helps fund the downtown flower baskets.

“The club also provides seed money and much of the grunt work on the Martha Perry Snohomish Veggie Garden that last year provided 20,000 pounds of fresh produce to area food banks,” Rowe said. “When people find out what their money supports, they are even more enthusiastic about the garden tour. It’s sure to be a good day on that Sunday.”

DAILY CROSSWORD

In-laws’ nasty comments overheard Adapted from a recent online discussion.

Dear Carolyn: Yesterday, I was putting my son down for a nap in my in-laws’ guest room. Through the magic of their HVAC system, I could hear my mother- and sister-in-law tearing me apart — everything from my shyness (they think I’m cold) to the value of my work (“I can’t believe people get paid for that!”) to my mother’s health (“such a [bleeping] drama-queen hypochondriac” — my mother has had cancer twice) to my haircut (I agree, but I can’t control how fast my hair grows).

I’ve always done my best to maintain a good relationship with my in-laws and had a feeling they talk about me behind my back (because they talk about everyone else), but I never thought it would be this hurtful and bad.

I haven’t talked to my husband about this yet. Should I confront them (making me an eavesdropper in their eyes)? Just let it go? Let my husband confront them? Start repeating their exact words back to them in a seemingly innocent manner?

— Overheard Talk to your husband. He should know what you’re up against and be an equal partner in the discussion about how you deal with his

Instead, they use you (and apparently others) to tighten their bond and feel superior. Scapegoating has to be as old as humanity.

family from now on. You might decide not to change much (since the nastiness isn’t new, it’s just confirmed), but it’ll still feel better as a joint decision.

If I were writing this as a movie with a happy ending, he’d be furious on your behalf and give you license to avoid his folks; you’d appreciate that but agree to suck it up periodically so he and your son wouldn’t lose this family entirely.

He would then let his family know what was overheard, that’s he’s embarrassed to be associated with them, and that he expects basic civility or he’s finished with them.

They, chastened and embarrassed, would admit they went too far and make inclusive overtures of toward you. You’d briefly weigh flipping them the fattest bird ever, but opt against and return the kindness. Fast forward 15 years, and you’re the one your motherin-law wants around when her

Re: Overhearing: My childhood memories are of my mom [complaining] and gossiping about our entire extended family on the car rides home from visits. I didn’t know any better so started doing the same thing with my friends.

One person had the guts to confront me and it was like a light bulb going off; I’ve completely changed my behavior but I cringe when I think back on some of the unnecessary crap I said about people I really liked.

I really think your husband should call them out, since it could take just one time for them to realize how mean they were. If they get defensive, then it’s time to think about distancing yourself.

Guest howls over dogs at wedding Dear Abby: Is it acceptable to bring a teacup-sized dog to a wedding? The excuse was, “Well, the wedding was at the beach.” The pre-dinner and dancing were inside a high-end resort on the beach. The dog was taken inside these establishments.

After a guest — a family member of the dog’s owner — asked the owner to remove the animal because the occasion was not about her and her dog but the bride and groom’s day, the owner put the dog in a carrying case and the dog returned to the wedding for the rest of the night. Only this one couple made an issue of it and they weren’t in the wedding party, but relations of the dog owner.

What do you think? — Doggone Disgusted Dear Doggone Disgusted: The rule of etiquette states that nothing should distract attention from the happy couple — and especially the bride — at the wedding. However, IF the dog owner had first asked for and received permission to bring the animal to the festivities, then it wasn’t rude and the relatives of the dog owner were wrong to intervene.

Dear Abby: We were recently at dinner with longtime friends whose political views are different from ours. I believe in the rule of etiquette about avoiding the topics of politics and religion in mixed company. Well, somehow the conversation turned political. Voices were raised and I stood up and ended it.

There are now many hurt feelings with the parties involved still disagreeing about what happened and how it was handled. I know my actions were extreme, but things were out of RIP HAYWIRE

DEAR ABBY control and I was upset.

How do I deal with this if we are invited to future events?

— Keeping The Peace Dear Keeping The Peace: You may be worrying needlessly, because you may not be invited to future events — at least until the next election is over. Whatever your friends were arguing about, while you had a right to speak up and say it was making you uncomfortable, because your reaction was “extreme,” you may have been as rude as the others.

If you caused hurt feelings that evening, you should apologize, if you haven’t already.

Dear Abby: A sibling died recently and I have received numerous sympathy messages in the form of cards, gifts and online posts. Do the people who send them typically expect a response?

I feel a little overwhelmed with the amount of attention, and I worry that they’ll think I’m not appreciative if I don’t respond in kind. — Grieving But Grateful Dear Grieving But Grateful: To those who sent gifts and cards, a short note saying how much their support meant during this difficult time would be a gracious response. The online condolences could be handled with one email “blast” conveying the same thing, which shouldn’t be offensive to those who sent their sympathy that way.

BRIDGE Players often confuse the order in which defensive signals are properly used. Signal “attitude” first, then “count.”

In today’s deal, South played at two spades. (East lacked the values to bid three hearts; West was unwilling to balance.) West led the king of diamonds. East, with a doubleton, signaled with the nine, so West continued with the ace and seven.

East ruffed and could have held South to one overtrick by cashing the ace of hearts.

It makes a big difference if West shifts to the jack of hearts. East takes the A-Q and leads a diamond for West to take his jack and ace. On the fourth diamond, East overruffs dummy and leads another heart, and South must lose a trump trick to West’s

ANSWER: In modern bidding, jump-raises of overcalls are weak, preemptive actions, meant to get in the opponents’ way and suggest a sacrifice if they reach game. Pass.

If your partner had enough values for you to make game, he would have begun with a cue bid of two hearts to show a sound hand.

‘Fargo’ to return for second season but with new cast, era

By Alicia Rancilio Associated Press

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — FX is taking another trip to “Fargo,” where the cast is changing but some of the characters are not.

The network announced Monday that it has renewed the series for a second season with new actors, time period and crime.

Executive Producer Noah Hawley told a TV Critics’ panel that season two will be set primarily in North Dakota in 1979 with a younger version of the Lou Solverson character (played by Keith Carradine in season one.) His daughter, Molly, who Allison Tolman portrayed, is just 4 years old.

Hawley said he’s open to changing the weather and is toying with starting the story in the winter and transitioning to spring and summer. Part of the season will be set in Sioux Falls,

FX

Martin Freeman as Lester Nygaard in a scene from the first season of “Fargo.” The network announced Monday, it has renewed the series for a second season with a new cast, time period and crime.

South Dakota, and Luverne, Minnesota.

The earliest the series will air is fall 2015.

Hawley said it would be easier to tap the same actors to

return, but he’s committed to making “Fargo” an anthology.

FX CEO John Landgraf said that while he thinks casting an Oscar-winning actor like Billy Bob Thornton helped attract viewers, he’s not sure that it’s necessary for season two.

Landgraf noted that Tolman, who began the series as an unknown actress, now has an Emmy nomination.

“We needed Billy Bob Thornton, but now the show, the title, the tone, the writing ... are the star of that show,” Landgraf said.

Landgraf compared “Fargo,” which also starred Martin Freeman, to HBO’s “True Detective,” saying the latter “is gonna have to prove that it’s more than just a vehicle for movie stars.” Hawley has “already proven he can write something really great,” Landgraf said.

“Fargo” has earned 18 Emmy nominations.

PEOPLE

George Harrison’s tree killed by beetles

By Randy Lewis Los Angeles Times

From the irony department, Los Angeles Councilman Tom LaBonge said over the weekend that the pine tree planted in 2004 in memory of George Harrison will be replanted shortly because the original tree died as the result of an insect infestation.

Yes, the George Harrison Tree was killed by beetles.

Except for the loss of tree life, Harrison likely would have been amused at the irony. He once said his biggest break in life was getting into The Beatles; his second biggest was getting out.

The sapling went in, unobtrusively, with a small plaque at the base to commemorate the former Beatle, who died in 2001, because he spent his final days in Los Angeles and because he was an avid gardener for much of his adult life.

He famously bought a rundown mansion in England that once belonged to a British lord named Sir Frankie Crisp — the name showed up in the title of Harrison’s song “Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp (Let It Roll)” from his 1970 solo album “All Things Must Pass” — and over the course of many years transformed the overgrown gardens into lush, beautiful grounds surrounding his home.

The memorial tree had grown to more than 10 feet tall as of 2013, but LaBonge said the tree beetle onslaught was too much for the tree.
