New team on courthouse project Citing budget concerns and a “disagreement with the architect,” the County Council voted to have Atlanta-based Heery International take over main design work.

EVERETT — The Snohomish County Council voted Wednesday to switch the main architect on its future $162 million courthouse, after receiving designs that didn’t fit within budget.

for comment.

The change again focuses attention on the costs of the ninestory building envisioned on the north side of Wall Street, between Rockefeller and Oakes avenues.

“There was a disagreement with the architect,” County Council Chairman Dave Somers said after the vote. “The council has made it extremely clear that we have set the budget, and that’s the budget.”

The change passed 3-1.

Opposing the move was Councilman Ken Klein, who urged the council to come up with a “plan B” for a cheaper building.

Councilman Terry Ryan, later in the day, said he agreed with some of Klein’s concerns, but he’s not ready to push for a different plan.

“What we need is we need to make sure we get a quality building,” Ryan said. “I want to give ...

Heery the chance to provide it for us.”

Gridlock for ferry commuters Wednesday was no pleasure cruise at Edmonds and Mukilteo terminals

As new council members who first took office this year, Klein and Ryan didn’t vote for the current proposal. They’ve been surprised to learn about the winding path the courthouse plans have traveled since their inception.

‘Concerns’ about linking cold cases Judge Bruce Weiss wonders if there is sufficient evidence to try Danny Ross Giles for the death of Patti Berry and the separate disappearance and presumed death of Tracey Brazzel in a single trial.

experienced delays last night and today and I want to thank people for their patience,” she said. “Our goal tomorrow is to continue to improve travel times for commuters and of course determine what needs to happen to get the Tacoma back into the rotation.”

At times Wednesday, the line-up of cars for the Kingstonbound ferry extended up the hill from the Edmonds terminal and at other times shrunk to no waiting or a one-boat wait.

EVERETT — A judge made clear Wednesday he questions whether prosecutors have enough evidence to properly stage a single trial for a convicted rapist accused of two 1995 “coldcase” killings.

Attorneys for Danny Ross Giles say Snohomish County prosecutors are trying to buttress two weak cases by playing to emotion and presenting them as a matched set. It would be “catastrophic prejudice” for a single jury to decide whether sufficient evidence connects Giles to Patti Berry’s killing and the separate disappearance and presumed death of Tracey Brazzel, public defender Neal Friedman said.

Superior Court Judge Bruce Weiss told prosecutors to return to court Thursday morning ready to answer some tough questions.

Based on what he heard during Wednesday’s hearing, the judge said, he wonders whether sufficient evidence — not just theories — show that what happened to Berry and Brazzel are part of the same criminal conduct. That standard must be met for a single trial.

“I have some concerns,” the judge said.

EDMONDS — A trying situation worsened Wednesday for bedeviled ferry riders when the state’s newest vessel conked out, forcing cancellations of several runs between Mukilteo and Whidbey Island.

Officials of Washington State Ferries took the practically new 144-car Tokitae out of service for unspecified repairs shortly before its 2 p.m. departure from Clinton. It returned to operation

two hours later.

The Tokitae’s temporary sidelining came one day after another vessel, the Tacoma, broke down on the water heading to Bainbridge Island from Seattle with 405 passengers and 138 vehicles on board.

With the sidelining of the Tokitae, the nation’s largest passenger ferry system had five of its 22 vessels out of service Wednesday evening.

Ferry officials scrambled to fill the gap partly by diverting one of two boats on the EdmondsKingston route to serve the

Court

took office as county executive in mid-2013, the county already had taken out bonds to pay for the new courthouse. When Lovick’s staff reviewed the project at the council’s request, they determined the designs were inadequate — and the $75 million price tag unrealistic. They offered up a new set of options, which they said reflected true costs.

The County Council, with Lovick’s support, in November chose to build the new courthouse, mostly on a county parking lot across the street from the main campus. At $162 million, it would cost nearly $30 million more than estimates for a similar building next to the old courthouse.

at risk of falling during an earthquake and a physical layout that makes it near impossible to keep the public or court staff separated from defendants in criminal cases.

After convening a study group in 2012, the county settled on a plan to remodel the old building and add a new wing.

In early 2013, the $75 million proposal morphed into a plan to construct an entirely new building.

That decision occurred after council members were told that it wouldn’t cost much more than the remodel. Even a complete overhaul, they reasoned, wouldn’t have cured some of the old building’s ills.

By the time John Lovick

Matheson was just beginning to address the defense challenge.

It is true that no eyewitnesses connect Giles to either woman, Matheson told the judge.

“We’ve got better evidence than that. We’ve got DNA,” he said.

Brazzel, 22, was a hair stylist. She disappeared May 27, 1995, after a night that included reported drug trafficking at a pub south of Everett along Highway 99. Berry, 26, had worked as a dancer at Honey’s, a nude nightclub that used to be along Highway 99 north of

Lynnwood. She went missing after working a shift on July 31, 1995.

Berry was repeatedly stabbed and her body found dumped in south Everett. No trace of Brazzel has surfaced.

Giles, 46, was not a suspect in either the Berry or Brazzel cases. That changed in 2008.

Using tests that weren’t available in 1995, genetic evidence gathered 19 years ago allegedly was linked to Giles. It was found on the steering wheel of Berry’s blood-spattered car and from a spot on the exterior of Brazzel’s vehicle.

Forensic experts at the state crime lab calculated

since the county could have built elsewhere for lower cost. The county filed paperwork in Superior Court on July 1 to condemn the properties, which include three law offices.

The new courthouse architect will work with the county’s general contractor, Hoffman Construction Co. of Seattle.

Lovick’s staff recommended changing firms.

The contract with ZGF, the outgoing architecture firm, was for a little over $1 million, but was bound to go much higher.

Early in the project, the county set a $4.6 million budget for architectural services. That was before the total price tag of the building more than doubled.

the statistical probability of a random DNA match to Giles in the Berry case at 1 in 580 million, and 1 in 56 quadrillion in the Brazzel case, according to court papers.

Giles was in prison when the tests were conducted. His criminal record includes the 1987 rape of a woman attacked while she was using a Lynnwood tanning bed, plus a string of other crimes against women and girls.

He was out of prison and living south of Everett in 1995. Confronted with the test results in 2011, Giles denied involvement.

Prosecutors in 2012 charged Giles with two counts of first-degree murder, one each for Berry and Brazzel.

Lawyers on both sides

Ventura passage deemed libelous to be cut from book Associated Press MINNEAPOLIS — Former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura got the legal vindication he craved when a jury agreed he had been defamed in slain military sniper Chris Kyle’s autobiography.

Ventura won another victory Wednesday — a day after the jury voted 8-2 to award him more than $1.8 million — when “American Sniper” publisher HarperCollins told The Associated Press it would remove the passage that sparked the lawsuit from the best-seller.

But given the rhetoric surrounding the verdict, the former Navy SEAL and ex-pro wrestler still faces

of the case expected a fight over whether the charges should remain connected.

They each filed dozens of pages of pleadings prior to Wednesday’s hearing.

Matheson said Giles should go to trial on both charges at the same time because the evidence meets the legal standard.

Both women were young, had similar lifestyles, similar looks, and encountered their killer in the same area of the county, at about the same time of day, within two months of each other, he wrote.

Further, detectives believe whoever is responsible used the victims’ cars to transport their bodies to nearby hiding places, and then kept the car keys, perhaps as trophies, the prosecutor wrote.

battles over his reputation and the money he’s owed.

Ventura came under scrutiny within the tightknit brotherhood of Navy SEALs and former SEALs for continuing his lawsuit after Kyle was killed at a Texas gun range last year.

A former SEAL regarded as the deadliest sniper in U.S. military history, Kyle wrote that he decked Ventura at a California bar in 2006 after Ventura made offensive comments about SEALs, including that the SEALs “deserve to lose a few” in Iraq. The subchapter was called “Punching Out Scruff Face.” Ventura testified he never made the statements and that the confrontation never happened.

On Wednesday, Weiss said that some of what prosecutors see as connections — the explanation for the missing car keys, for example — appear to be based on theories. He wants to see supporting evidence.

Friedman told Weiss there are more differences than similarities in the two cases. For example, while it is clear that somebody killed Berry, no evidence demonstrates that Brazzel met with violence, he said.

“They still don’t know what happened to her because there is no crime scene,” Friedman said.

Giles trial is scheduled to begin in late September.

Kyle insisted in sworn testimony videotaped before he was killed at a Texas gun range last year that his story was accurate.

The jury disagreed Tuesday, giving Ventura a potentially hefty windfall if it stands.

Ventura doesn’t expect to see a lot of the money, he said in interviews published or aired Wednesday.

He also echoed what his camp had said Tuesday — that Kyle’s widow, Taya Kyle, won’t be the one paying the damages.

Ventura lawyer David Bradley Olsen told reporters his reading of HarperCollins’ insurance policy is that its carrier will cover all damages and costs of defending against the lawsuit.

Local firefighters go to aid of Methow Valley

By Rikki King Herald Writer

EVERETT — After weeks of working at the Oso mudslide, two Snohomish County firefighters are back in a disaster zone, helping aid crews in the Methow Valley amid a series of ravenous wildfires.

Snohomish County Fire District 1 Capt. Shaughn Maxwell grew up in the Methow Valley in Eastern Washington. He has returned to work alongside those who once taught him the ropes.

Officials are overwhelmed with all the aid pouring in for wildfire victims, B1 March 22 mudslide have helped local crews assist others in Okanogan County, said Maxwell and fellow Fire District 1 firefighter and paramedic Kurt Hilt.

They’ve been providing a unique medical service in an area that at times has been without power, cellphone service and dependable 911 service. Gas lines have been long and residents have been forced to use cash for transactions while debit,

credit and ATM devices aren’t functioning.

In the valley, the local crews helped set up a makeshift “M*A*S*H-style” emergency room. They’ve treated those who suffered burns, heat exhaustion and smoke inhalation and other medical problems.

There was no state protocol to summon them to the wildfire scene as backup aid crews. They knew they were needed, and Fire Chief Ed Widdis gave them permission to go, Maxwell said.

response. His former mentor, Cindy Button, is a paramedic and director at the Aero Methow Rescue Service, a private nonprofit that provides emergency medical services to the rural Methow Valley.

Button and Maxwell talked.

Then Maxwell showed up.

“He walked in right at the height of the intensity, right when he was needed the most,” Button said.

The Methow Valley is a small community, easily cut off from the world, Button said. She didn’t have to explain that to Maxwell.

A serial killer brought to light A retired Camano Island doctor went digging through his family history and what he found is a chilling tale of arson, deception and murder.

A graduate of Liberty Bell High School in Winthrop, he already knew.

The nearest hospitals are about an hour’s drive. The roads were shut down.

Maxwell, Hilt and Fire District 1’s Dr. Richard Campbell helped Button plan and manage resources. They positioned folks in fire stations and ambulance centers so people could walk in to report emergencies if 911 wasn’t working.

OSO MUDSLIDE

Town’s all ready to be ‘mobbed’

Herald Writer

CAMANO ISLAND — It all started with newspaper clippings and a family secret.

Neil Bradley Hampson, a retired doctor and author of the true crime novel, “Serial Chase,” was cleaning out the upstairs storage of the Camano Island home that’s been in his family for three generations. He found a small bundle of newspaper clippings, worn thin and permanently creased after half a century, tucked in a box of his grandmother’s things.

They chronicled the trial of Harold Glenn Chase, who was convicted of strangling Hampson’s grandfather, Dr. Russell Bradley, in 1950.

Hampson, 59, was born five years after Bradley’s death. His mom told him his grandfather was shot and the killer never caught. His sister, wife and uncle also had heard stories about Bradley’s demise, but none of them matched. Their family history, it seemed, had gotten muddied somewhere along the way.

The mystery piqued Hampson’s curiosity.

“I started out not to write a book, but to learn what had happened to my grandfather,” Hampson said. “I never knew him.”

He started digging, flipping through history books, skimming through old newspaper articles and interviewing anyone who might know something about Hampson’s grandfather or his killer.

What he found, Hampson wrote in “Serial Chase,” was chilling.

“The truth is that a serial killer and arsonist fooled psychiatrists, physicians and military and law enforcement officials long enough to commit crimes

Herald Writer

so many places where I just included the transcripts because I couldn’t make something up that was this exciting.”

According to Hampson’s research, Chase started setting fires as a teen. Unexplained blazes followed him while he served in the military from age 17 to 20. He was arrested for arson after returning to his childhood home in Everett, and spent some time at the Northern State Mental Hospital in Sedro-Woolley, where his roommate died in what looked like a suicide attempt.

Chase later claimed he killed the man.

He never served time for the Everett fires. Instead, he apparently became a member of the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Posse.

In 1951, Chase — a convicted arsonist on parole at the time — got a job as Darrington’s police marshal. He missed his first day of work for a court hearing regarding a pornographic film he’d acted in.

Less than a week after starting as marshal, he set a fire that

DARRINGTON — Business leaders from the other side of Snohomish County plan to bombard Darrington shops, restaurants and brewery with their first ever “Chamber Mob” on Friday afternoon.

Modeled after a cash mob, where participants flock to spend money at a local business in need, the Chamber Mob is geared toward bolstering Darrington businesses after the March 22 Oso mudslide that took 43 lives and buried a stretch Highway 530 between Arlington and Darrington.

The highway is open and the weather has been sunny, but it’s still a tough time for businesses in Darrington, said Monroe Chamber of Commerce Director Una Wirkebau-Hartt, who worked with Darrington business owners to coordinate the Chamber Mob. “They’re healing and we want to help them heal,” she said “We still understand they’re going through a hard time and it can take a long time for things to get better.”

Darrington’s economic development has been a focus for local and state leaders after the mudslide. A state-funded advertising campaign is promoting local festivals and outdoor recreation opportunities in the Stillaguamish Valley.

Wirkebau-Hartt said chamber members on the east side of Snohomish County wanted to find a way to help.

County worker dies in his office EVERETT — Snohomish County Planning and Development Services offices were closed Wednesday after an employee died at work.

The 42-year-old man collapsed at his desk shortly after arriving, county spokeswoman Rebecca Hover said. Paramedics were summoned, and resuscitation efforts were unsuccessful.

The man had worked for the county for three years. His name was not released Wednesday.

“This is a particularly difficult time for Snohomish County employees, especially Planning and Development Services staff,” Hover said.

Planning offices were expected to reopen Friday.

Chase fled to California before authorities could pin the fire on him.

But his crimes caught up with him when he applied for a federal job.

He landed back in police custody in Washington, where he confessed to multiple crimes, including the murder of Russell Bradley. He told police he met Bradley at a bar, offered to drive him home and strangled him, then passed the death off as a heart attack. The body was exhumed and autopsied

Lynnwood: Drowned man ID’d A man who drowned in Martha Lake on July 20 has been identified as Carlos Campa, 23, of Lynnwood.

Campa was rushed to a hospital after being pulled from the water, and later died. His death was ruled an accident, officials said.

At least three people have drowned in the past 10 days in Snohomish County, including two at Martha Lake.

Bank robbery Sheriff’s deputies are investigating a bank robbery that occurred just north of Lynnwood on Wednesday.

A man believed to be in his 40s handed a teller at Wells Fargo Bank a note around 12:30 p.m. It wasn’t immediately clear if he got away with any money, sheriff’s

Chase claimed to have killed at least five people, though Bradley’s was his only conviction.

“I doubt that Everett knew, and certainly doesn’t know now, that they had a serial killer running around in 1950,” Hampson said. His book is “written to point out all the times the system didn’t work. It’s not a happy book to read because in the end you go away knowing that someone who was very generous, popular and well-liked in the community was murdered simply by the bad luck of meeting a serial killer.”

Though the tale is a sad one, Hampson said he and his family learned a lot about their ancestors.

The man ran from the bank in the 1200 block of 164th Street SW. It was not known which direction he headed or if he had a car nearby, according to initial reports.

Snohomish: River victim is identified A man who drowned in the Snohomish River on Sunday has been identified as Derek M. Harrison, 21, of Kenmore.

Police say Harrison was with a group of people having a party on a sand bar on the river near Snohomish. Their canoe capsized, and Harrison didn’t surface.

His death was ruled an accident, according to the Snohomish County Medical Examiner’s Office.

From Herald staff reports

He traced the family’s path from Montana to Washington and learned about Bradley’s optometry career and entrepreneurial endeavors, including a tamale factory and a failed attempt at fish farming.

Hampson said he intends to continue writing, but he’d like to work on a fictional story next.

Mountain Loop Books and Coffee in Darrington plans to host a book signing with Hampson on Aug. 9.

Gregerson and Liias insist there’s nothing Machiavellian in their actions.

The hiring process had multiple steps and involved human resource professionals not employed by the city.

Names of applicants were blacked out in an early round of review, so while Gregerson knew Liias had applied, she didn’t know he’d survived until the end.

But no amount of explaining is ameliorating the dogged duo of their detractors, Councilman Steve Schmalz, who lost to Gregerson in last year’s mayoral contest, and his wife, Christine.

They’ve called it cronyism and alleged collusion.

Ferry From Page A1

Scott Legler, a Washington State Patrol trooper working near the ferry dock, said generally the lines hadn’t been too bad, but “every once in a while there’s a long delay.” Most people who are commuters had figured it out, he said.

Rex Rice, of Port Townsend, said he needed to be at Sea-Tac airport in the morning to pick up his wife, Carrie. Rather than wait for the Kingston Ferry and risk being late, he drove around by way of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge.

The couple opted for a ferry ride home and sat parked in the shade before being the last to drive on for the 1:40 p.m. crossing.

MARK MULLIGAN / THE HERALD

Becky Nienow reads in the trunk of her car with her dog, Bear, while waiting for the ferry in Edmonds on Wednesday afternoon.

Two of the state ferries, the 144-car Yakima and the 124-vehicle Kitsap, are undergoing scheduled maintenance and are to return to service in September. A third, the 202-car Wenatchee, is getting

repaired for a leaky seal.

That left 19 available boats Tuesday morning, the minimum needed to carry out the ferry system’s 450 scheduled crossings a day.

Then the Tacoma failed

and the repositioning began. On Wednesday it resulted in the state canceling 20 runs — 10 each way — between Edmonds and Kingston.

Interim ferries Director George Capacci said the chain of events exposes the state’s lack of boats, and thus back-up options.

“We are a fragile organization. We are on the edge,” he said. “I don’t have six other ships. I don’t have a lot of extra people. When something like this happens it’s a wake-up call of how we are so fragile.

“We are operating efficiently but it is unsustainable in the long term,” he said.

Further repositioning of vessels forced Thursday and Friday cancellations of international departures from Anacortes, Friday Harbor and Sidney, B.C.

Two lawmakers who’ve closely monitored management of Washington State Ferries agreed with Capacci’s assessment of a system with little margin for vessel breakdowns.

“What it does show is we have an aging fleet that is stretched to the max and we’ve got to keep building” boats, said Rep. Larry Seaquist, D-Gig Harbor.

Rep. Norma Smith, R-Clinton, said constructing new vessels is “above all else” the focus of a caucus of lawmakers from communities served by car- and passenger ferries.

“We need to ensure that we have the capital investments needed to be able to provide reliable and safe service for the next 50 to 60 years,” she said.

Seaquist also said ferry officials can do a better job on publicizing their plans

A5

for dealing with such crises.

“What we are missing is a master plan for what we need to be doing,” he said.

“I do think that by today (Wednesday) we should have had a game plan.”

Seaquist emailed Capacci on Wednesday asking if the state might take steps like adding earlier and later sailings to boost service levels.

He also called for an independent probe of what knocked out the Tacoma’s propulsion, leaving it to float without power.

“We have to have a proper, thorough investigation,” he said. “They need to find out if it was a material failure, if it was a training failure or did (the equipment) just burn out.”

Powell kept in dark on torture The White House accidentally emailed details from the classifed document to a reporter.

By Ken Dilanian And Eileen Sullivan Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A Senate report on the CIA’s interrogation and detention practices after the 9/11 attacks concludes that the agency initially kept the secretary of state and some U.S. ambassadors in the dark about harsh techniques and secret prisons, according to a document circulating among White House staff.

The still-classified report also says some ambassadors who were informed about interrogations of al-Qaida detainees

at so-called black sites in their countries were instructed not to tell their superiors at the State Department, says the document, which the White House accidentally emailed to an Associated Press reporter.

The 6,300-page Senate report on the CIA’s interrogation program has been years in the making. The findings are expected to reveal additional details about the CIA’s program and renew criticisms that the U.S. engaged in torture as it questioned terrorism suspects after the 2001 attacks.

A former senior CIA official said the secretary of state at the time, Colin Powell, eventually was informed about the program and sat in meetings in which harsh interrogation techniques were discussed.

But Powell may not have been informed when the techniques

were first used in 2002, the official said. A spokeswoman Wednesday said Powell would not comment.

The former CIA official said it would be standard practice for ambassadors informed about a covert operation to be instructed not to share it with others who did not have a “need to know,” as determined by the National Security Council. Ambassadors in countries in which the CIA set up black sites to interrogate prisoners were usually told about it, said the official, who, like others interviewed for this story, would not be quoted by name because some of the information remains classified.

It’s not entirely clear exactly which U.S. officials knew about the practices at the time they began.

The four-page White House document contains the State

Department’s preliminary proposed talking points in response to the Senate report. It’s not clear who wrote it or how influential it will be in tailoring the Obama administration’s ultimate response to an investigation that has been the subject of bitter disputes.

The document is significant because it also reveals some of the report’s conclusions as well as the State Department’s concerns about how the program will be portrayed around the world.

The Senate report, a summary of which is expected to be made public in the coming weeks, concludes that the CIA used brutal techniques on detainees that failed to produce life-saving intelligence, and then misled Congress and the Justice Department about the interrogation program.

GOP pushes to sue Obama

SEATTLE — A local Somali woman accused of raising money for the terrorist group al-Shabab was released from custody, pending a trial in Virginia, after more than 100 community members packed a Seattle federal courtroom this week in her support.

The decision to release 44-yearold Hinda Osman Dhirane, of Kent, was made over the objections of federal prosecutors, who allege she ran a “fundraising conspiracy” that funneled money to the al-Qaida-linked extremist group al-Shabab in Somalia.

Dhirane’s husband, Rashid Jama Barhadle, said the government is mistaken in its conspiracy theory and that his wife is the victim of misunderstanding and prejudice against Muslims and the Somali culture. Sending money to family and friends in that war-torn country is common, he said.

D.C.: Former IRS official’s emails call GOP ‘crazies’

By Alan Fram WASHINGTON — Republicans pushed a divided House Wednesday toward a campaign-season lawsuit against President Barack Obama, accusing him of deliberately exceeding the bounds of his constitutional authority.

Obama and other Democrats derided the effort as a stunt aimed at tossing political red meat to conservative voters.

Just a day before lawmakers were to begin a five-week summer recess, debate over the lawsuit underscored the harshly partisan tone that has dominated the current Congress almost from its start in January 2013.

Republicans said the legal action, focusing on Obama’s implementation of his prized health care overhaul, was designed to prevent a further presidential power grab and his deciding unilaterally how to enforce laws. They scoffed at Democratic claims that it would be a waste of taxpayers’ money.

“What price do you place on the continuation of our system of checks and balances? What price do you put on the Constitution of the United States?” said Rep. Candice Miller, R-Mich. “My answer to each is ‘priceless.”’

Republicans have repeatedly accused Obama of exceeding his powers in a range of areas, saying he has enforced provisions he likes and ignored others.

These include not notifying Congress before releasing five Taliban members from the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, in exchange for captive Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl, blocking the deportation of some children who are in the U.S. illegally and waiving some provisions of the No Child Left Behind education law.

However, Democrats said the lawsuit was simply designed to encourage conservatives to vote in this November’s congressional elections. They also warned that it could be a precursor of a more drastic GOP effort. Said Rep. Louise Slaughter, D-N.Y.: “The lawsuit is a drumbeat pushing members of the Republican Party to impeachment.”

Alleged terrorist abettor released

An Indianapolis man has won two $1 million lottery prizes in the past three months. Hoosier Lottery officials said Robert Hamilton won $1 million from a scratch-off ticket he bought last week at an Indianapolis convenience store. His other big winner came in April in western Indiana’s Jasonville while traveling to a conference. Hamilton said he used his first prize to pay off debts, buy a home and invest in his business. He now plans to buy a motorcycle. The lottery said Hamilton’s tickets are among eight top prizes for its $120 Million Cash Spectacular Scratch-off game. Lottery officials said the odds of winning a top prize from the game are one in 2.1 million.

Republicans are upset about health care, Bowe Bergdhal, child immigrants and more.

Planks of an 18th century ship stick out of the mud at the World Trade Center construction site in New York. Columbia University scientists say this week they have determined wood used in the ship’s frame came from a Philadelphia-area forest in 1773, before the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the Revolutionary War.

WTC ship dates to 1773 Associated Press NEW YORK — It’s a ship tied to two critical points in American history: Sept.

11, 2001, and the eve of the Revolutionary War. Researchers said this week that a vessel unearthed four years ago at the World Trade Center site in Lower Manhattan was made from wood cut around the year 1773 — two years before the start of the war and three years before the signing of the Declaration

of Independence.

Scientists at Columbia University’s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory said the ship sailed for 20 to 30 years before being weighed down and sunk to the bottom of the Hudson River as landfill to extend lower Manhattan.

A 32-foot piece of the vessel was found in July 2010 about 20 feet under a street during construction of a parking garage for the new 1 World Trade Center tower, part of the complex rebuilt after the 9/11

terrorist attacks took down two towers. Archaeologists dismantled the ship piece-bypiece and freeze-dried each plank so they could be studied and eventually reassembled for display. A 100-pound iron anchor was found a few yards from the hull, possibly from the old vessel.

It was the second ship found buried in Lower Manhattan in the last four decades. Archaeologists found an 18th-century cargo ship on Water Street in 1982.

Israeli strikes hit U.N. school

By Karin Laub and Tia Goldenberg Associated Press

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Israeli artillery shells tore through the walls of a U.N. school crowded with sleeping war refugees and back-to-back explosions rocked a market filled with shoppers Wednesday as Israel’s stepped up campaign against Gaza’s Hamas rulers claimed at least 116 Palestinian lives.

After the strikes near the shopping area in Gaza City, bodies lay scattered in the streets as the wounded screamed for help. “Where is the ambulance?” one man moaned as he lay on the bloodsoaked ground.

Some 3,300 Gazans seeking refuge from the fighting had been crammed into the U.N. school at the Jebaliya refugee camp when a series of Israeli artillery shells hit before daybreak, turning a classroom where families had been sleeping into a tragic scene of bloodied clothing, bedding and debris.

Assad Sabah said he and his five children were huddled under desks because of the

constant sound of tank fire throughout the night when suddenly mayhem struck.

“We were scared to death,” he said. “After 4:30 a.m., tanks started firing more. Three explosions shook the school.

One classroom collapsed over the head of the people who were inside.”

Palestinian health officials said at least 17 people were killed and 90 wounded in the school attack — the latest in a series of strikes the United Nations says has hit U.N.

facilities that are supposed to be safe zones in the 23-day-old war.

“Where will we go next?” wailed 56-year-old Aishe Abu Darabeh, sitting dazed outside a classroom after the shelling.

“We fled and they are following us.”

Israel’s military said no U.N. facility had been intentionally targeted during Wednesday’s operation, but troops had responded to Hamas mortar fire directed at Israeli soldiers near the school.

Former IRS official Lois Lerner had the following email exchange with a personal associate on Nov. 9, 2012. At the time, Lerner directed the IRS division that processed applications for taxexempt status. She has since retired.

Lerner: “I’m ready. Overheard some ladies talking about American today.

According to them we’ve bankrupted ourselves and at through. We’ll never be able to pay off our debt and are going down the tubes. They don’t seem to see that they can’t afford to keep up their welfare state either. Strange.”

Other person: “Well, you should hear the whacko wing of the GOP. The US is through; too many foreigners sucking the teat; time to hunker down, buy ammo and food, and prepare for the end. The right wing radio shows are scary to listen to.”

Lerner: “Great. Maybe we are through if there are that many assholes.”

Other person: “And I’m talking about the hosts of the shows. The callers are rabid.”

Lerner: “So we don’t need to worry about alien teRrorists. It’s our own crazies that will take us down.”

AROUND THE WORLD Ukraine: Fighting, mines hinder MH17 investigators

An international team of investigators abandoned efforts to reach the crash site of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 in eastern Ukraine for a fourth day Wednesday because of heavy fighting, and a Ukrainian official said approaches to the area have been mined. Military spokesman Andriy Lysenko predicted that sometime “soon,” the Ukrainian army would oust the pro-Russian separatist rebels who currently control the fields and towns where the debris is scattered. But even then, he said, investigators will not be able to visit the site until the mines, which he said have been laid by rebels, can be cleared.

Largest Dreamliner to be built in South Carolina, Boeing confirms

By Dominic Gates The Seattle Times

In a decision that’s been expected for some time, Boeing confirmed Wednesday that the largest version of its 787 Dreamliner — the 787-10 — will be assembled exclusively in North Charleston, South Carolina.

The 787-10 — the first of which

is to be built in 2017 — will be 18 feet longer than the 787-9. The midbody section is 10 feet longer than on the -9.

For all the 787 models, the long midsection of the airplane is assembled in North Charleston from parts arriving from Italy and Japan. Wiring, hydraulic tubing, ducting and insulation systems are also installed there.

For the original 787-8 model and for the larger 787-9 model, most of the midsections are then flown to Everett in a giant, customized transport airplane called the Dreamlifter.

At the current production rate of 10 Dreamliners per month, seven are assembled this way in Everett and three are assembled at a second final assembly plant

at the North Charleston manufacturing complex, adjacent to where the midbody section is built.

“We looked at all our options and found the most efficient and effective solution is to build the 787-10 at Boeing South Carolina,” said Larry Loftis, vice president and general manager of the 787 See DREAMLINER, Page A8

Bank of America gets $1.3B fine for risky behavior A federal judge imposed a $1.3 billion civil penalty against Bank of America on Wednesday for its role in selling risky mortgages to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac that were advertised as safe investments. The fine was against Countrywide, which Bank of America purchased in 2008. is the latest legal ruling against Wall Street. A jury found in October 2013 that BofA was liable for Countrywide’s role in selling risky loans to the government housing agencies through a program nicknamed the “Hustle” from August 2007 to May 2008. The jury found that Countrywide executives deliberately misrepresented the quality of mortgages being sold. In his blunt ruling, Judge Jed Rakoff said the program was “driven by a hunger for profits and oblivious to the harms thereby visited, not just on the immediate victims but also on the financial system as a whole.”

Amazon fights India’s version of Amazon

Associated Press DETROIT — A Texas lawyer has filed a lawsuit against General Motors on behalf of 658 people who were injured or killed in crashes allegedly caused by faulty ignition switches.

The lawsuit filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Manhattan in New York City names 29 people who were killed in crashes and 629 who were hurt. All the crashes occurred after GM emerged from bankruptcy protection in July of 2009. That makes them exempt from GM’s efforts to shield itself from claims due to crashes that occurred before the bankruptcy, attorney Robert Hilliard said in a statement.

Hilliard also said he will ask judges for permission to file another 248 cases from before the bankruptcy, including 21 deaths.

“It’s certainly not a legal given that GM will be successful in its attempts to use this ‘get-outof-jail-free’ bankruptcy card,” said Hilliard, of Corpus Christi, Texas.

The lawsuit alleges that GM knew about the defective switches that can cause engines to stall since as early as 2001, yet it didn’t recall any cars until this year. The switches can cut off the engine, knocking out power steering and brakes and disabling the air bags, which wouldn’t protect people in a crash. The lawsuit seeks in excess of $75,000 in damages for each plaintiff.

The filing comes just days before compensation expert Kenneth Feinberg is to start taking injury and death claims on behalf of GM. Feinberg, who handled claims for the BP Gulf Oil Spill and the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, has said GM has placed no limit on the total amount of money he can spend to compensate victims. Feinberg is to start taking claims on Friday and will accept applications through the end of the year.

Those who settle with Feinberg must give up their right to sue.

GM recalled 2.6 million small cars such as the Chevrolet Cobalt for defective switches starting in February, touching

Construction workers build a commercial complex in Springfield, Ill. The government issued its first of three estimates of how fast the U.S. economy grew in the April-June quarter on Wednesday.

Economy growing vigorously For the 6th straight month, job gains have topped 200,000.

By Martin Crutsinger Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The U.S. economy has rebounded with vigor from a grim start to 2014 and should show renewed strength into next year.

That was the general view of analysts Wednesday after the government estimated that the economy grew at a fast 4 percent annual rate in the April-June quarter. Consumers, businesses and governments joined to fuel the second-quarter expansion. The government also said growth was more robust last year than it had previously estimated.

Whether the healthier expansion will lead the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates sooner than expected is

unclear. In a statement it issued Wednesday after a policy meeting, the Fed offered no clearer hint of when it will start raising its benchmark short-term rate.

The economy sprang back to life after a dismal winter in which it shrank at a sharp 2.1 percent annual rate. The government upgraded that figure from a previous estimate of a 2.9 percent drop. But it was still the biggest contraction since early 2009 in the depths of the Great Recession.

Last quarter’s bounce-back reinforced analysts’ view that the economy’s momentum is extending into the second half of the year, when they forecast annual growth of around 3 percent.

The government also updated its estimates of growth leading into this year. They show the economy expanded in the second half of 2013 at the fastest pace in a decade and more than previously

estimated. The revised data also show that the economy grew faster in 2013 than previously estimated, though more slowly in 2011 and 2012 than earlier thought.

The second quarter’s growth in the gross domestic product — the total output of goods and services — was the fastest since a 4.5 percent increase in JulySeptember quarter of 2013.

At the same time, a higher trade deficit slowed growth as imports outpaced an increase in exports.

Paul Ashworth, chief U.S. economist at Capital Economics, said that given last quarter’s rebound, he’s boosting his estimate for growth this year to 2 percent, up from a previous 1.7 percent forecast. Ashworth said the economy’s growth also supported his view that the Fed will be inclined to start raising rates early next year.

The world’s largest online retailer is facing off in India against a new name in e-commerce that was founded by former Amazon employees. Amazon.com Inc. said Wednesday it will invest $2 billion to expand its Indian business, a day after local rival Flipkart raised $1 billion to fund its own expansion.

Gearing up to fight the online giant, Indian e-commerce company, Flipkart, raised $1 billion in new capital on Tuesday. Both companies claim they are the largest online retailer in India, though neither releases its sales numbers Flipkart, founded in 2007, has at times been called the Amazon of India. It was founded

Toyota remains at top in sales after first half Toyota remains No. 1 in global vehicles sales after the first six months of this year, followed by Volkswagen, which bumped General Motors out of second place as the U.S. automaker grapples with a recall scandal. Japan’s Toyota Motor Corp. announced Wednesday that January-June global sales totaled 5.097 million vehicles, up nearly 4 percent from a year earlier.

GOP keeps tax breaks for offshore firms Republican senators blocked an election-year bill Wednesday to limit tax breaks for U.S. companies that move operations overseas. The bill would have prohibited companies from deducting expenses related to moving their operations to a foreign country. It also would have offered tax credits to companies that move operations to the U.S. from a foreign country. The Senate voted 54-42 to end debate on the bill, six short of the 60 votes needed to advance it. The White House says President Barack Obama supports the legislation.

program.

“This will allow us to balance 787 production across the North Charleston and Everett sites as we increase production rates,” Loftis

said. Boeing said the Everett plant will continue to assemble seven Dreamliners per month, while the North Charleston final assembly facility will gradually increase from three 787s per month today to five per

month in 2016 and seven per month by the end of the decade.

The 787-10 is a highcapacity, shorter-range version of the Dreamliner. It will carry 300 to 330 passengers compared to 280 on the

787-9 but will have almost 1,500 miles less range.

Launched a year ago at the Paris Air Show, the 78710 has won just 132 orders out of more than 1,000 firm orders for all models of the Dreamliner.

Economy: Winter is over

Car

From Page A7

Most economists have been predicting that the Fed would wait until mid2015 to start raising rates.

“This GDP report supports our view that an improving economy will persuade the Fed to begin raising rates in March next year,” Ashworth wrote in a research note.

Ashworth is among a group of economists who think growing strength in the job market and the economy will prod the Fed to move faster to raise rates to make sure inflation doesn’t get out of hand.

Stock prices turned generally negative in the wake of the GDP report because some investors saw a greater likelihood that the Fed would raise rates sooner than expected.

“We’re at the point where we’re not sure if good news is good news or bad news,” said Jim Paulsen, chief investment strategist at Wells Capital Management.

The GDP report showed that one measure of inflation rose 2 percent last quarter, up from a 1.3 percent rise in the first quarter.

The Fed’s inflation target is 2 percent, and for two years the GDP measure of inflation has been running below that level. Low inflation has given the Fed leeway to focus on

boosting growth to fight high unemployment.

In its statement Wednesday, the Fed noted that inflation had risen closer to its 2 percent target. The statement said concerns that inflation would run persistently below the Fed’s 2 percent target had “diminished somewhat.”

But it expressed no concerns about the slight acceleration in prices.

The economy’s sudden contraction in the first quarter had resulted from several factors. A severe winter disrupted activity across industries and kept consumers away from shopping malls and auto dealerships.

Consumer spending slowed to an annual growth rate of 1.2 percent, the weakest in nearly three years.

Last quarter, consumer spending accelerated to a growth rate of 2.5 percent.

Spending on durable goods such as autos surged at a 14 percent annual rate, the biggest quarterly gain since 2009. Analysts said that was an encouraging sign of consumers’ growing willingness to buy high-cost items like cars.

“Better job growth, a rising stock market, falling gasoline prices — all those things are starting to resonate on Main Street,” said Stuart Hoffman, chief economist at PNC Financial Services Group.

Hoffman suggested that five straight months of job gains above 200,000 were buoying both consumer and business confidence.

He predicted that the July jobs report, to be released Friday, would show job growth of around 225,000.

“I think the economy has finally moved from the slow lane to the passing lane,” Hoffman said. He predicted growth of around 3 percent over the next year.

Still, he said he didn’t think the faster growth would lead the Fed to accelerate its first rate increase.

Even with higher prices last quarter, inflation remains within the Fed’s 2 percent target.

In the April-June quarter, business investment in equipment jumped at a 7 percent rate after having fallen in the first quarter.

Businesses also increased their stockpiling.

The increase in inventories contributed two-fifths of the growth in the quarter.

Housing, which had been falling for two straight quarters, rebounded in the spring, growing at a 7.5 percent annual rate.

Government spending also recovered after two consecutive declines.

The strength came from state and local governments, which offset the seventh quarterly decline in federal government spending.

Mike Doherty, who owns M&N Absolute Auto Repair, heard about the program and decided that he wanted to do it.

The Honda was donated to the shop by someone who didn’t want to pay to have it repaired.

Doherty and his employees spent 27 hours fixing the engine, clutch, water pump and timing belt and installing new brakes and tires. The car was detailed on the inside and the front bumper received a paint touch up.

Doherty wasn’t sure how much the car was worth.

“Probably not what I spent fixing it,” he said.

“But that’s not the point.”

He and his wife,

The decision to build this model exclusively in North Charleston is a boost to that site, which has struggled to come up to speed.

However, Boeing insists that Everett will continue to have plenty of work and

Vicki, put out a call for nominations from the community in April for a deserving person. They received more than 40 letters. They asked a panel of five people including a couple of business owners and a clergyman to choose the winner and two finalists.

The Dohertys invited the three finalists along with their customers and others in the business community to the shop on Saturday for the giveaway.

They set up tables in the garage, fired up the barbecue and chilled soda and water in the cooler. And they put up a bouncy house in the parking lot for kids.

“I think this brings out the good in people,” Vicki Doherty said. “I really do.”

Then, Mike Doherty stood before the small crowd and announced

the runners up. Those finalists were: Sandra Dillings of Everett who is a volunteer at the YWCA and the Everett Gospel Mission who hasn’t had a car for years, and Andrea Cantrell, also of Everett, who wakes up at 4:30 each morning to catch a bus for training as a nursing assistant.

Both women were given Fred Meyer gift cards for $150 apiece.

“I’m blessed to have been here,” Dillings said.

Then, Doherty announced that Thomas was the winner. He took him out to show him the black Civic parked outside the garage and let him get behind the wheel.

“This is a humbling experience,” Thomas said, adding about his effort helping others, “You don’t do it for anything.”

GM: 29 million vehicles recalled From Page A7

off a recall crisis at the company that has ballooned to 29 million recalled vehicles. Of those, 17.3 million are to fix defective ignition switches. But only owners of the original 2.6 million small cars are eligible for compensation through

Feinberg.

GM says the small-car switches have caused at least 54 crashes and 13 deaths.

Hilliard’s lawsuit includes crashes involving the original 2.6 million cars as well other cars with faulty switches. He called the exclusion of some ignition switches

from the compensation fund “GM madness at its best.”

GM spokesman Jim Cain wouldn’t comment on Hilliard’s lawsuit, but said the company wants to do the right thing for people harmed by ignition switch issues with the Cobalt and other recalled small cars.

IN OUR VIEW | Primary election ballots

Save the excuses for not voting It’s there on your desk with the bills. Or on the kitchen counter, sitting by the phone, probably unopened. The large lavender envelope. Your primary election ballot. You’ve even thought to yourself: “When do I have to get that in the mail?”

Tuesday. You have until Tuesday to vote and get your ballot in the mail or into one of 11 ballot drop boxes set up throughout the county by the Snohomish County Auditor’s Office.

And there are hundreds of thousands of ballots sitting unmarked and unsent right now, potential democratic energy waiting to be unleashed.

“As of (Wednesday) morning our return rate is at 11.82 percent,” said Snohomish County Auditor Carolyn Weikel.

That’s less than 50,000 of the 418,248 ballots sent out to registered voters in the county.

“It’s low. My election manager did some analysis, and judging by what came in so far, we project a 27 percent turnout rate, which is extremely disappointing,” she said.

And it’s extremely embarrassing.

We know the excuses. Allow us to challenge them: ■■“It’s a boring election.”

It’s not a boring election, Weikel protests: “There are some very important, nonboring races going on out there.”

True, it’s not a presidential year. And those sexy initiatives and referendums won’t appear on the ballot until the general election, but Weikel is correct. Most county residents will be selecting the top two candidates in Congressional

elections for either the 1st, 2nd or 7th districts; for representatives and senators in their legislative districts; the county executive; a district court judge, a PUD commissioner; precinct officers; and deciding a public transportation sales tax increase in Monroe and a levy for Fire District No. 5.

■■“This is just the pre-season.

I’ll vote in the general election when it counts.”

Since the state established the top-two primary, in which the two candidates receiving the most votes move on to the general election, regardless of party, a primary ballot counts more than ever.

Several of the races have three or more candidates, meaning we could easily see a general election ballot with two Democrats or two Republicans. That can leave an interesting choice between

the lesser of two evils for a voter who sticks to the party line. Even worse, it can leave the general election race with two weak candidates who the primary is supposed to weed out.

And low voter turnout allows incumbents, because of their name recognition, to coast on to the general election ballot and, usually, back into office. If you want to see a change in government or at least a fresh face, not voting is voting against your interests.

■■“I don’t vote. It only encourages them.”

Yeah, that was a good bumper sticker. Forty years ago.

But not voting is what encourages the scoundrels, (Cough. Aaron Reardon.

Cough.) because they think you’re not paying attention.

And you are paying attention, aren’t you?

■■REST STOP COFFEE

middle income families and the charitable organizations providing for these children.

Now many teachers, schools and districts are forbidden or choose not to give out lists of items needed by their students.

On the other side of that coin, some parents are given lists of top-end items that their students may use during the school year.

Now let’s consider the middle ground.

Districts could survey their schools for basic items needed by students for the coming year.

These lists could be merged and published in time for stores to stock them and parents to purchase them. Parents could look at these lists and know what items can be passed on from one child to the next, purchased in bulk for the benefit of multiple children, or even purchased in bulk and donated to their child’s classroom and teacher.

I believe we’re aware that the IT age brings its own set of expensive supplies. Many families are able to supply the more expensive calculators, laptops or computers for their children.

Districts should examine the capabilities of all these items before listing them as “needed.”

Although an item may have wonderful capabilities, a simpler item may be more appropriate for the age/school level and save the family or charitable institution a lot of money.

The goal of a quality education can be achieved with a reduced price tag. Communication can make an enormous difference to everyone involved.

Our goal is to prepare our children to participate in a successful future. The more people and organizations contributing, the better.

If you are a member of a district that already communicates openly and candidly with its demographic and suppliers, thank you.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■PUD RACE

Hartman’s ideas are cost-saving I decided last year that I’m tired of the same old rhetoric by our career politicians. I want new ideas, new strategies, no fighting and with forward-thinking individuals. Not just those elected people who just come to the scheduled meetings, but actively put their time into researching new ideas and succeeding with their endeavors for the good of their constituents. I found such a person in Matthew Hartman who is running for PUD Commissioner District 1.

Hartman, as a Granite Falls City Councilman, saw the need to rescue his city from the thousands of gravel trucks driving through on a daily basis.

It took him years and endless hours, beyond those of council meetings, and constant, neverending contact with the county and state Department of Transportation, to create and achieve the Granite Falls Alternate Route. With the construction of three separate roundabouts on the outskirts of the city, Hartman won back the city streets for the residents of Granite Falls.

With a win-win like that for Granite Falls, I believe Matt Hartman will do the same for the Snohomish County PUD ratepayers. The PUD is doing well with its current business plan. But Matt Hartman’s ideas for creating new cost-saving energy, such as subsidized solar power, that the everyday Joe Blow could afford and even sell back to the PUD sounds great to me. What about you?

■■THE HERALD

Reporting scams, advertising them?

Monday’s Herald had a well written article about local scammers who are attempting to solicit money from unsuspecting people based on phony arrest warrants. “Phone scam relies on new trick” by Rikki King and Scott North.

On page 5 of Monday’s Herald contains a full page add for “bags of cash” for a limited number of lucky Washington residents who live in a county listed in the advertisement. The counties listed included all Washington counties! What a surprise.

Everything about this advertisement screams “fraud” including the pictures and many misleading department titles. The director of “Vault Operations” is Timothy J. Shissler, surely this is a misspelling (Chiseler.)

Have your say E-mail: letters@heraldnet.com Mail: Letters section The The Daily Herald P.O. Box 930 Everett, WA 98206 My question is: How can you warn us of scammers on page 1 and support their scams for money on page 5?

■■WAR

Plenty of blame for all parties In regard to the July 26 letter, “Victim details speak loudly”: The writer asks, “Does Israel have a free pass to wipe out a race? First, Palestinians are not a race, but rather a nationality (loosely termed.) Since the writer stated a concern for civilians in war, which is warranted, here are some questions: Does the U.S. get a pass for using nuclear weapons against Japanese cities? Does the U.S. and allies get a pass for firebombing German cities during World War II? Do the Palestinians (Hamas) get a pass for firing rockets into Israeli neighborhoods? If you believe the news, these are fired from, or near schools, hospitals and other civilian locations.

A good analogy would be a Palestinian (Hamas) lining up his family and shooting at his enemy from behind, and then expressing outrage and indignation when the enemy returns fire and the family is killed. Wars are brutal and violent extensions/failures of diplomacy, and as said, all wars are war crimes.

There is plenty of blame for all.

Roby Ellingson Marysville

State wants space for highest bidder After reading Jerry Cornfield’s article about the “free coffee” signs being pulled at state rest stops, I have come to this conclusion: I do not believe the state Department of Transportation’s assertion that they acted out of concern for the safety of elderly volunteers who would have to walk beside the highway to turn the signs over. I believe they are doing this in order to kill the free coffee program altogether, so that for-profit companies can come in and take over these ready-made coffee stands.

Mark my word, if these nonprofit groups are prohibited from putting out “free coffee” signs, they will stop participating in the program and pretty soon we will have bikini baristas and Starbucks competing at the spaces at rest stops.

■■SCHOOLS

Lots of ways to help with supplies Regarding the Jenny Bardsley column, “Missing from schoolsupply list: full funding”: Long ago, when I was in elementary school in Kansas, school districts gave out lists of needed/ required supplies to local stores/markets and the parents of children anticipated to be enrolled in the coming fall.

This enabled the stores to stock the needed items in time for the school term. And the parents and caregivers could readily and economically provide for their children.

Discounts were made possible by knowing what would be clearing the shelves and made available for the lower and

Doing well by doing good — but better by doing bad

H

ow curious to watch “60 Minutes,” the famously hard-hitting TV newsmagazine, bless JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon with prime-time beatification for hiring some interns from poor backgrounds.

The segment’s headline is “Jobs program benefits Fortune 500 and underprivileged youth.”

“Many of the country’s most powerful CEOs are finding that they can do well by also doing good,” growls Morley Safer like the war correspondent he once was.

The subject is Year Up, a “boot camp” that grooms struggling young people for corporate jobs. Let’s say this right off: Year Up is a wonderful program.

Founded by tech entrepreneur Gerald Chertavian, it deserves the highest FROMA HARROP praise.

But there’s Dimon sharing the glory for doing the smallest of good — very small, given the Wall Street behemoth’s $18 billion annual income. Safer’s questions are so affectionate that Dimon almost seems embarrassed being asked them.

“Now firms like J.P. Morgan are actually paying Year Up $23,000 per intern,” Safer says with awe. Actually, the investment bank’s hotshots spend more than that on one month’s American Express bill.

“Has that investment paid off for you?”

Safer asks.

Yes, it has, answers Dimon. His company has done well by doing good.

But it’s done so much better by doing bad.

For instance, JPMorgan Chase recently settled government charges that it palmed garbage mortgages on unsuspecting investors. At the bottom of this subprime-mortgage food chain were the low- and moderate-income borrowers milked by exploding interest rates and punishing upfront fees. Many lost their houses in the inevitable financial collapse.

Since 2011, JPMorgan Chase has made an estimated $185 million helping American companies renounce their U.S. citizenship to avoid paying taxes in this country — all the while staying put. We speak of the “inversion” loophole, whereby a company merges with a smaller one in a lower-tax country and then claims to be based there.

President Obama has called companies exploiting this tax trick “corporate deserters.” Exploitation of the loophole is expected to deprive the U.S. Treasury of close to $20 billion over the next decade.

Other taxpayers will have to fill the gap — or we could cut government programs, including those that help “underprivileged youth.”

The investment banks say that if they don’t do the deals, their competitors will. That may be true, but Wall Street owns Congress. If JPMorgan Chase really wanted to make a patriotic gesture, it could lead an industrywide campaign urging Congress to end the dodge.

Don’t these societally damaging activities rate at least a dishonorable mention on “60 Minutes”? Worry not. The newsmagazine markets itself as hard-nosed investigative journalism, so it will get around to the “uncomfortable” part — to the ugly details. Right?

“It’s no secret that Wall Street’s image has been tarnished over the last couple of years,” Safer eventually says, letting mild skepticism creep into his voice. He’s so scary that Dimon feels obliged to respond with a sheepish laugh.

Safer goes on: To what extent is this activity “window dressing” to show “civic responsibility”?

Dimon responds: “I think we are civically responsible. We don’t want to drive successful people down. You want to get people who don’t have the opportunity, you want to give them the opportunity.”

And “60 Minutes” lets it go at that.

“60 Minutes” still does some great investigative pieces, but sheesh. Sometimes that clock ticks down in a sad way.

Officials inundated by wildfire donations Associated Press PATEROS — After the largest wildfire in Washington’s history destroyed hundreds of homes and burned hundreds of square miles in northcentral Washington, donations poured in.

Officials are thankful for the gifts, but they’re now pleading with the public to stop donating goods and asking them to donate money instead. They have enough, perhaps too much stuff.

“I think donations might very well be a second disaster,” Jennifer Dolge, director of donor services and communications for

the Community Foundation of North Central Washington, told the Wenatchee World. “There’s just so much stuff and now they have to figure out what to do with it all.”

Donations for the Carlton Complex fire now fill up three warehouses, two gymnasiums, community distribution centers and several semi-trucks. Tens of thousands of diapers, truck-loads of dog food and pallets of water came in the days after the fire destroyed homes in Pateros and the Methow Valley.

Okanogan County Sheriff Frank Rogers urged people to

donate money instead of items.

On Tuesday, Rogers said an army of volunteers and emergency workers worked from sunrise to late into the afternoon, moving donated items from the National Guard Armory in Okanogan to a larger warehouse at the fairgrounds. From there, it will go to the old Pateros grocery store, which will serve as a long-term solution for providing supplies to fire victims, thanks to the generosity of a donor, Rogers said.

“I’ve got a full detachment of the National Guard, as well as volunteers, Public Works employees; they started at 7 a.m. and

they’re still going,” he said. “It’s the same story everywhere — we don’t need more goods. Not in Twisp, or Winthrop, Brewster, Pateros, or the Tribes.”

The donations are getting to fire victims, Rogers said. People have been coming in to the donation centers to pick up clothing, bedding, nonperishable food, toiletries and other necessities.

Volunteers, the National Guard and other organizations have also been taking items by the truckload out into communities and neighborhoods affected by fires.

More than 3,000 firefighting crews continue to fight

the 392-square-mile fire. As of Wednesday, the Carlton Complex fire is 67 percent contained.

In Olympia, Gov. Jay Inslee and Lands Commissioner Peter Goldmark asked the state’s congressional delegation Wednesday for its support in seeking additional money that could be used for fighting wildfires.

The letter sent Wednesday comes a week after a dozen U.S. senators, including Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell, asked Senate leaders for passage of emergency legislation to allocate $615 million for use in fighting wildfires.

Police shoot, kill man in Seattle Associated Press

JESSE TONSLEY / THE SPOKESMAN-REVIEW

As temperatures move into the upper 90s, Ben Gambill (left) and David Anderson show off with a tandem swing for the crowd gathered on the Spokane River shore near Boulder Beach in Spokane on Monday.

SEATTLE — A man shot during a confrontation with police officers at a city park early Wednesday has died of his injuries, the Seattle Times reported.

Seattle police said officers patrolling Gas Works park around 2:45 a.m. were approached by a security guard who told them that a man had attacked him. The guard told officers that he saw a man starting a small fire and told him to stop and leave the park. The man then chased off the security guard.

Police said officers approached the man, who then broke a glass bottle and brandished it at them. In response officers deployed Tasers but that did not subdue the man.

Still armed with the broken bottle, the man lunged at an officer and that’s when two officers fired their weapons. The man was taken to Harborview Medical Center, where he died later Wednesday morning.

The officers involved in the shooting have been placed on administrative leave as an investigation is completed.

Oregon nursery offers yoga classes for farmworkers

By Andrea Castillo The Oregonian

CORNELIUS, Ore. — In more than three years, Juan Luis Vasquez has barely missed a yoga class.

During peak summer season, the 40-year-old agriculture worker forces himself awake in time for the 5:45 a.m. session.

But Vasquez has an advantage: He works at Blooming Nursery in Cornelius, where owner Grace Dinsdale converted her first commercial greenhouse into a yoga studio around four years ago.

Inside, the ground once covered in hundreds of seedlings is now a hardwood floor.

“No other place gives us the chance to do this,” said Vasquez, who has worked at the nursery for 18 years. “It’s really good for the body.”

Attendance at the yoga class

varies week to week, but Vasquez is one of a few regulars. He’s even learning to lead the class himself.

When Vasquez tells his friends about it, “they are jealous,” he said.

Yoga Hillsboro owner Brant Rogers is a certified Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction instructor, whose clients include Hillsboro police officers.

He started teaching the agriculture workers at Dinsdale’s nursery about three years ago.

Nine employees showed up on a recent Wednesday, both men and women. Each worked through the poses to their individual ability.

Using a mix of Spanglish and hand signals, Rogers slowly guided his students through a series of poses.

“Derecha atraz; right foot back,” he said. “Guerrero segundo; second warrior pose.”

Rogers said he works very

Exercising together gives us a commonality.

It’s something we share.

— Grace Dinsdale, owner of Blooming Nursery in Cornelius, Ore.

therapeutically, akin to the aches and pains of his students. He modifies yoga poses by using blocks, straps and a wall to aid farm workers who have a limited range of motion.

“Most of those folks work hands on with their bodies a lot,” he said. “There was a fair amount of stiffness and unfamiliarity with

flexibility. I don’t push, but we do things that are relevant to backs and shoulders.”

Over time, he said, the nursery students have begun to relax and move more freely.

Dinsdale started Blooming Nursery in 1982. Last year, she expanded with a nearby retail location called Blooming Junction.

Yoga has been an important part of Dinsdale’s exercise routine for 15 years. Around seven years ago, she decided she wanted to share the benefits with her employees.

“People here work really hard,” she said. “They get really tired.

For them to get up an hour earlier to do that is a big deal. We are not people of leisure.”

The class, offered every Wednesday at 5:45 a.m. during the summers and 6:45 a.m. the rest of the year, is open to the public but a bit of a well-

kept secret.

Dinsdale pays Rogers $110 per session. She said she’d be willing to add more classes every week or expand it to include a class at Blooming Junction if attendance increases.

Dinsdale said she knows of one other nursery in the area that once offered yoga classes to its employees, but stopped for lack of participation.

Though it’s hard to see the direct economic benefit, she said, there’s no doubt that offering the class has made a positive impact.

“Exercising together gives us a commonality,” she said. “It’s something we share.”

Maria de la Luz, 46, a planting supervisor, took part in Wednesday’s class. She said her work involves a lot of heavy lifting, which often makes her back hurt.

But after a yoga class, De la Luz said she doesn’t feel it. Instead, she feels relaxed.

Idaho scales back claim of problems at its largest prison

By Rebecca Boone Associated Press

BOISE, Idaho — Idaho Department of Correction officials on Wednesday dramatically scaled back their assessment of problems encountered when they took over the running of the

state’s largest prison from Corrections Corporation of America this month.

IDOC division chief Shane Evans had told the state Board of Correction last week that CCA failed to leave behind a promised eight-day supply of medication for inmates,

and a health care provider had to ship $100,000 worth of medication overnight just to reach the minimum amount needed at the facility.

But in a follow-up meeting Wednesday, Evans said the cost of the missing drugs was actually only about $8,800.

Evans also said there was only a verbal agreement that the meds would be left behind.

CCA spokesman Steve Owen didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment Wednesday.

But earlier this week, he cast doubt on IDOC’s claims and said they were without

merit, noting that CCA’s total monthly cost for inmate medications was below $100,000, and so IDOC’s original figure didn’t make sense.

IDOC declined to respond Monday when The Associated Press asked for any evidence supporting the $100,000 figure.

3rd Columbia bridge on ballot Associated Press VANCOUVER, Wash.

— With a 2-1 vote, Clark County commissioners have approved placing an advisory vote on November’s ballot to gauge public interest on a third bridge over the Columbia River.

The Vancouver Columbian reported that with Tuesday’s vote, residents

will weigh in on building a bridge in the east part of the county for an estimated $860 million.

This is the latest episode in a protracted debate on how to relieve congestion between southwest Washington and the Portland area.

Transportation officials in the two states have backed a plan to revamp

the I-5 crossing, but those efforts were stifled after Washington lawmakers balked at authorizing money.

That bridge plan includes light rail and cost an estimated $2.9 billion, but it would come with federal money.

Backers of a third bridge argue it’s a more affordable crossing.

Grazing-fee changes considered Associated Press

MELISSA MCROBBIE / THE GRANTS PASS DAILY COURIER

People gather on the shores of Lake Selmac near Selma, Oregon, on Monday to watch the Reeves Creek fire. The fire burned about 200 acres of woods southwest of Grants Pass. By Tuesday, a fire line was built around 70 percent of the fire, the Oregon Department of Forestry said.

TWIN FALLS, Idaho — Idaho lands officials are considering increasing how much ranchers pay to graze on state lands for the first time in more than 20 years.

The Times-News reported that Idaho’s grazing fees are lower than those in neighboring states, but the state hasn’t updated its fee formula since 1993.

One way the rate formula could change is to base the fee on the quality of

those charged by the state.

Under the current system, ranchers are charged a fee for each unit of state land that will feed one cow with a calf for a month. The current Idaho grazing rate is $6.98 per unit.

Meanwhile, the federal grazing rate is $1.35, where it has remained that price for the past eight years.

In Idaho, the state fee is determined by a number of factors, including livestock production costs and the beef prices index.

Gregoire gets Harvard fellowship SEATTLE — Former Gov. Chris Gregoire is heading to Harvard. The Ivy League university said Tuesday that Gregoire will be a resident fellow at the John F. Kennedy School of Government next fall term.

Gregoire served two terms as governor of Washington, clinching her first term in 2004. Before being governor, she served as the state’s attorney general for three terms as well as director of the state Department of Ecology.

Vancouver, Wash: Man killed The Clark County sheriff’s office said a woman shot and killed her boyfriend Tuesday night during a domestic dispute in Vancouver. Authorities said Scott Montgomery Grossman, 44, was found dead at a residence when police arrived. He’d been shot with a handgun at close range. Authorities said the woman is cooperating with the investigation and has not been arrested.

Alaska: 7 years for accidental shooting A 50-year-old Skagway man will serve seven years in jail after accidentally shooting his girlfriend during a suicide attempt. Carl Timothy Forester was sentenced Tuesday for assault.

Authorities said he was depressed and put the shotgun in his mouth. His girlfriend tried to stop him by hitting him in the head with the butt of another gun, but that caused him to involuntarily squeeze the trigger and shoot her in the upper chest. The victim, who is permanently disfigured, begged the judge for a more lenient sentence, saying there was no intent to harm her.

Miners outraged Nome gold miners are angry about a city letter citing the “negative social impacts” of their industry.

Miners stormed the Nome City Council meeting Monday night to express their outrage about the July 15 letter to the state Department of Natural Resources from city manager Josie Bahnke. In the letter, Bahnke wrote that there has been some economic benefit from offshore mining, but those benefits are outweighed by negative social impacts.

Judge tosses lawsuit over refuge closures A federal judge has dismissed the state’s lawsuit over the closure of national wildlife refuges during the partial federal government shutdown last year. U.S. District Court Judge Sharon Gleason called case moot. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service restricted access to refuges nationwide during the 16-day shutdown last October. The state sued as Congress was poised to pass legislation to end the shutdown. The lawsuit claimed the closure violated provisions of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act, and asked Gleason to block future closures that don’t comply with the law.

Idaho: Rape trial delayed after jury pool fails to show The trial for a 19-yearold northern Idaho man charged with rape has been delayed for five months after nearly half of 80 potential jurors failed to show up for selection.

Nez Perce County Deputy Prosecutor April Smith said only 42 people showed up at the courthouse Monday for Peter H. Bakker’s trial. The Lewiston Tribune reported that Bakker is charged with raping a 17-year-old Lewiston girl he met on Facebook.

Oregon: Portland OKs short rentals The Portland City Council has voted to legalize short-term rentals in single-family homes, giving added legitimacy to rental websites such as Airbnb. Homeowners will be allowed to rent one or two bedrooms once a safety inspection is done and neighbors are notified.

The city is requiring rental websites to collect lodging taxes.

Woman missing Investigators said a Dundee woman vanished last week after withdrawing money from an ATM, fueling her SUV and buying a Gatorade, trail mix and a nonlethal amount of sleeping pills. NewburgDundee police said Tuesday the disappearance of Jennifer Huston, 38, is still considered a missing person case, with no evidence of criminal activity. Police said her husband, Kallen Huston, has passed a polygraph test.

NOTICE OF INTENT TO REQUEST RELEASE OF FUNDS July 31, 2014 Snohomish County Office of Housing and Community Development 3000 Rockefeller Ave, M/S 305 Everett, WA 98201 (425) 388 - 3260 Snohomish County receives funds for various affordable housing and community development projects and activities, under programs administered by the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (“HUD�). Under these programs, HUD has d e l e g a t e d t o S n o h o m i s h C o u n t y t h e r e s p o n s i b i l i t y fo r environmental review and decision making under the National Environmental Policy Act and other applicable Federal laws and Authorities. On or about August 8, 2014, Snohomish County will submit a request to Washington HUD, for the release of HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) funds under Title II of the National Affordable Housing Act of 1990, for a project known as Woodlake Manor III being proposed by the Housing Authority of Snohomish County. The project is located at 1018 13th Street, Snohomish, WA 98290 and includes property acquisition and building improvements consisting of roof and siding replacement, parking lot repair, replacement of exterior lighting, and interior unit updates. Snohomish County has completed all individual activities and logical review of the described project, to which the County intends to make an award of HUD, 2014 HOME funding in the amount of $720,478. The project is Categorically Excluded Subject To Section 58.5 (CEST) and cannot convert to exempt because asbestos mitigation is required.

PUBLIC COMMENTS Any individual, group, or agency may submit written comments on the Environmental Review Record (ERR) to Snohomish County, Office of Housing and Community Development, 3000 Rockefeller Ave, Admin Building West, 4th Floor, Everett, WA 98201. All comments received by 5:00 PM on August 7, 2014 will be considered by the Snohomish County Office of Housing and Community Development prior to submission of a request for release of funds.

RELEASE OF FUNDS Snohomish County certifies to U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development, Washington that John Lovick, in his capacity as County Executive consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that these r e s p o n s i b i l i t i e s h ave b e e n s a t i s f i e d . H U D, Wa s h i n g t o n ’s acceptance of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and allows Snohomish County to use Program funds.

OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS HUD, Washington will accept objections to its release of funds and Snohomish County cer tification for a period of fifteen days following the anticipated submission date or its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if it is on one of the following bases: (a) the certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of Snohomish County (b) Snohomish County has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 58; (c) the grant recipient has incurred costs not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by U.S. HUD, Washington or (d) another Federal agency acting pursuant to 40 CFR Part 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality. Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58) and shall be written and addressed to U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development, Attention: Office of Community Planning & Development, 909 First Avenue, Seattle, WA 981041000. Based on Snohomish County’s intent to submit the Certification to HUD on August 8, 2014, it is estimated that the end of HUD’s fifteen day period for considering objections will be August 25, 2014. No objection received by HUD, Washington after that date will be considered. Anyone with questions about any part of this notice and comment procedure may also contact S n o h o m i s h C o u n t y ’s O f f i c e o f H o u s i n g a n d C o m m u n i t y Development staff by telephone, at (425) 388-3260. Potential objectors should contact the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development, Attention: Office of Community Planning & Development, 909 First Avenue, Seattle, WA 98104-1000 to verify the actual last day of the objection period.

Mariner hitters fail their King Hernandez pitches well while setting major-league record, but gets no offensive support in 2-0 loss.

IAN TERRY / THE HERALD

Pacific Little League All-Star Robley Corsi III (left) runs after a fly ball during a team practice at Lynndale Park in Lynnwood on July 24. beginning Friday, the team is competing in a regional tournament in California for a chance to advance to the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pa.

Eyes on the prize

PACIFIC LITTLE LEAGUE ALL-STARS

The Pacific Little League All-Stars are headed to the Northwest Regional where they will battle for a spot in the Little League World Series

By David Krueger Herald Writer

The Pacific Little League AllStar team’s secret weapon isn’t a dominating pitcher. Or an overpowering slugger.

Nope, it’s a rubber chicken.

The rubber chicken is used to keep the 12 kids, who are 12or 13-year olds, relaxed during stressful games. It’s proved effective, along with some fantastic baseball by the players, who shook off a tough loss to Federal Way and came back through the consolation bracket to meet up with the Federal Way Little League team again.

Pacific won both contests, the second one by 10 runs in four innings, to punch its ticket to the Little League Northwest Regional, Aug. 1-9 in San Bernardino, California. There it hopes to earn a berth in the Little League World Series in Williamsport,

Pennsylvania. Besides Pacific, representing Washington, the other teams in the Northwest Regional are Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, Montana and Wyoming.

“It keeps everybody loose,” Pacific Little League manager Robley Corsi, Jr., said about the chuicken. “It just sits on the bench and whenever we need the rubber chicken, it’s there.”

The rubber chicken helped the Pacific Little League All-Stars navigate the state tournament in mid-July. The players won their first game on July 12th against Eastlake 13-7, before falling to Federal Way by the same score.

They quickly rebounded with a 15-8 win against Gig Harbor, a 14-4 victory over West Seattle and an 11-2 triumph versus North Bothell, which set up a championship rematch with Federal Way at Bar-S Playground in West Seattle on July 19th.

Since Federal Way hadn’t lost

in the tournament, Pacific had to beat the All-Star squad twice. It got halfway there, edging Federal Way 2-1 in the first game to set up the championship game. The second contest wasn’t nearly as close, with Pacific defeating Federal Way 12-2 in four innings to earn a berth at regionals.

It’s the first time in 22 years that Pacific Little League — which draws players from Edmonds, Lynnwood and unincorporated Snohomish County — is sending a team to regionals.

“The thing we’ve been talking about this whole time is, ‘It takes a team,’” Corsi said. “Once we lost that first game to Federal Way … we got the train rolling and it’s hard to slow us down once we get rolling. This team is very much about playing baseball. I think that these kids would play baseball every single day.”

CLEVELAND — If the Seattle Mariners had any lingering hesitation regarding the need for additional lineup punch as the trade deadline approaches … here was Corey Kluber ramming home the point.

Kluber outdueled eternally luckless Felix Hernandez in Cleveland’s 2-0 victory Wednesday night at Progressive Field.

Kluber threw just 85 pitches in registering his first career shutout.

Felix “Our approach, Hernandez: at least mine,’ Sets record third baseman with 14th Kyle Seager said, consecutive “was to get in start of pitching there and see at least seven some pitches to innings while see what he had. giving up two That’s hard to do of fewer runs when he’s throwing strike one and strike two.”

Let’s add this disclaimer: Kluber (11-6) probably should have been an All-Star earlier this month. He’s having that kind of year. He’s overmatching a lot of opponents. “... 85 pitches,” manager Lloyd McClendon marveled. “I haven’t seen anything like that since (Greg) Maddux … That was not a fluke. People can make a big deal, say our offense wasn’t doing this.

“He’s done that to real good offenses. I was part of one of those offenses (in previous years in Detroit) that he’s done it to.”

Kluber never seemed to break a sweat against the Mariners who, McClendon’s words aside, solidified their status as the American League’s worst offense — 3.81 runs a game — by suffering their 13th shutout.

“Obviously, it’s a challenge going up against one of the best pitchers in the game,” Kluber said.

“We all look forward to challenges so it’s nice to come out on top.”

WAYNE KRUSE The buoy 10 salmon fishery on the bottom end of the Columbia River opens August 1, and the event usually elicits a yawn from experienced anglers. That’s because the fishery often doesn’t really get rolling until the middle of the month.

This year could be very different, however, because of the size of the returning run of fall chinook.

Washington/Oregon salmon managers have predicted a return of 1.5 million fall kings to the Columbia this year. which, if it proves out, would be a record.

The current mark was set last year at 1.3 million fish, according to Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife biologist Joe Hymer in Vancouver, and with that many chinook coming back to the big river, the leading edge of the horde could well show up earlier than usual.

Launch at Ilwaco, Chinook or Fort Canby, or the newly improved Deep River site near Oneida, between Chinook and Naselle.

You’ll need to learn the channels in and out of the latter, Hymer said.

Choose the flood tide over the ebb, starting perhaps at the buoy number 10 firing line and trolling slowly upriver with the incoming tidal flow. You can catch fish on the ebb, Hymer said, but the flood is the go-to choice of most anglers. At the top, pick up and run back down, trying to follow the fish upriver, working 20 to 30 feet of water.

Keep your gear close to bottom, using up to a pound of lead followed by an attractor such as the Fish Flash, then a spinner or herring.

If you want to fish the ebb tide, Hymer said, the best area is from the church hole (about a

mile west of the Astoria bridge) upstream, slow trolling with the current and your bait a crank or two above bottom.

A little later in the month, the river from Vancouver down will be holding fish. Hymer said with the Columbia’s surface water at 70 degrees, fall chinook will be looking for cooler water and you’ll need to dredge the deeper holes at 40 to 60 feet.

The limit is two fish/one chinook hatchery or wild, through Aug. 29. At that point, it gets a little more complicated, so be sure to read the regulations. New this year is a rule allowing a boat limit, regardless of who does the catching, and a new Oregon closure of Young’s bay, a popular spot on their side of the river. No fishing south of the green can line, Hymer said.

Eastside rivers open to kings The Chelan River and part of the Wenatchee open Aug. 1 for chinook, a month earlier than the season currently listed in the Sport Fishing Rules pamphlet. The open section of the Wenatchee will run from Peshastin Creek (just above Dryden Dam) to the Icicle River Road bridge on the west end of Leavenworth.

The Chelan River will open from the mouth upriver to the safety barrier below the Chelan PUD powerhouse.

The daily limit on the Wenatchee is four hatchery chinook (just two adults), selective gear rules: no bait, no scent, one single-point barbless hook, no boats with motors allowed, and no two-rod fishing here.

on the way to the west side of San Juan Island.”

For a short day trip, John said, the northeast side of Guemes Island can be good, too, and if you’re coming out of the Twin Bridges, it’s right on the way to Eagle Bluff, Secret Harbor and Point Lawrence.

The boundary lines of the various San Juan Island marine areas can be a little complicated to someone not familiar with the fishery, so be sure to read the regulations.

Sockeye All is not well in paradise. The number of sockeye showing at the Baker River trap dropped substantially last week. As of Sunday, the total number trapped was 12,019 and the total transferred to Baker Lake was 6,035. The pre-season forecast for this year’s run was 35,000 fish.

Those numbers don’t equate very well at this point in the season.

“We’re not seeing as many fish as I would have liked, and I’m not sure now that we’ll get the (forecast) 35,000,” said state biologist Brett Barkdull in La Conner. “The peak of the run is normally about July 18, but since the first fish to show at the trap were 10 days late, we thought it might hold true with the bulk of the run. That may not be the case.”

Regardless, Barkdull said there have been some very good days in the fishery, but on the whole a little spotty. On the positive side, he said the fish have been in top shape, and he has heard very few negative comments from anglers.

East of the Cascades it’s a different story. The Lake Wenatchee fishery is building as planned and may, in fact, exceed the number of adult sockeye predicted to return to the lake.

The last count at Tumwater Dam on the Wenatchee River, according to state biologist Travis Maitland, was in excess of 50,000 sockeye, a little more than halfway through the run.

“We may well be looking at 60,000 or 65,000 fish,” he said on Tuesday, “and maybe a season all the way through August.”

As of early this week, Highway 2 was still open to Coles Corner and the turnoff to Lake Wenatchee. Maitland said the smoke from wildfires seemed to be blowing away from the lake, and that the air quality wasn’t

Local trout The last two lakes in this area to receive summer trout plants were Lake Goodwin, 4,400 half-pound rainbow on June 17, and Lake Campbell in Skagit County, 250 three-quarter pounders on June 12.

Fish bait, deep. And don’t flip off the jet skiers.

Good stuff up north One last shot at big spot shrimp underway in the San Juan Islands, Marine Area 7-South, opened July 29 and will run through Aug 3. The area is west of a line running due south from Point Colville and includes the very productive Iceberg Point and Salmon Bank shrimp grounds.

Marine Area 7-South (San Juan Islands/Bellingham) opened to crabbing July 17 and will remain open through Sept. 29, Thursdays through Mondays only.

LLWS: Players excited to face region’s best From Page C1

It was the latest in what’s becoming a budding Little League rivalry. As 10-year olds, Federal Way knocked Pacific out of the state tournament. Pacific, which finished fourth in 2012 and second a year ago, got a little revenge with two big victories this time around.

“Beating Federal Way twice really felt good,” 12-year old pitcher and outfielder Colton Walsh said.

“Winning those two games evened us up with them and it just felt good,” added Karsen Tjarneberg, a 13-year old pitcher who cites Danny Farquhar as his favorite player. “We knew we could even up the series with them and get all the revenge we needed with those two wins.”

By winning the state tournament, Pacific became the first Little League team from Snohomish County to make it to regionals since the Mill Creek All-Star team did it in 2008. Corsi reached out to Scott Mahlum, the head coach of that Mill Creek team, to pick his brain and learn the keys to success at the tournament.

Mahlum’s Mill Creek team outscored its opponents 80-8 and clinched a berth in the Little League World Series where it went 2-2 and made it to the United States semifinals.

While talking with Mahlum, who now runs Mill Creek Sports, Corsi was given advice on everything from dealing with temperatures that exceed 100 degrees to avoiding the food served at the stadium.

Marine Area 7-East opened to recreational crabbing July 17, and the first two weeks have been very good. The area includes Samish and Padilla bays, some of the most popular water in the islands, but Kevin John at Holiday Sports in Burlington says there are other good options.

“You don’t want to forget about Mud Bay, inside Lopez Pass,” he said. “It’s a recreation-only zone and isn’t far from James and Decatur. I’ve also done well in Griffin Bay, just north of Cattle Point, and for a combo crab/salmon trip, it’s

too bad.

“The fishing hasn’t been too bad,” he said. “Up and down, like it usually is, but some (six-fish) limits coming in, and a few fish for most folks.”

The quality of the fishery, the generous limits and the prospect of continued access has brought crowds to the lake recently. Maitland said there are often backups at the state park ramp, on the south end of the lake.

The sockeye fishery in the Brewster pool, below the mouth of the Okanogan in the Columbia, had been rolling along and also attracting crowds, Maitland said. Unfortunately, high water temperatures in the Okanogan River — the “thermal barrier” keeping fish on hold in the cooler Columbia — broke down and a lot of the sockeye immediately shot up the Okanogan.

Maitland said he thought perhaps the barrier would build again in a week or so.

TONIGHT’S GAME Indiana at Seattle 7 p.m., KeyArena TV: LiveWell (cable); NBA TV (cable) Radio: None

I know we’re nervous but we’re really excited to play, too. ... I think you just forget about everything that’s around you and just focus on playing the game and just know we haven’t changed at all.

Keep playing how we’re playing.

— Ian Michael 12-year-old pitcher

The former Mill Creek coach said the biggest thing is to try to keep everything as normal as possible for the players, despite the fact that each game will be streamed online at ESPN3.com starting with Friday’s 8:30 a.m. game against Oregon.

“Don’t let that stuff distract

Scouting Report The Storm’s playoff hopes took another major blow with a road loss to Tulsa on Tuesday. With just six games to play, Seattle owns the WNBA’s worst record and trails the Los Angeles Sparks by four games for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference.

With the playoffs looking increasingly less likely, the Storm (9-19) play host to the Indiana Fever (12-14) Thursday night at KeyArena. The two teams have met once

you,” Mahlum said. “They’ll have different things where they want to interview the kids. I told (Corsi) the most important thing is keep your regular routine. If you took batting practice for an hour and a half before the game, then do that down there. Keep doing what got you there. It’ll work.”

Mahlum talked about his “special” team that featured several players that went on to play college baseball. Alec Kisena (Edmonds Community College), Casey Dawes (Pacific Lutheran University), Joakim Soderqvist (Bellevue) and Derrick Mahlum (PLU) have all gone on to play baseball in college. Jason Todd (Portland) and Dan Kingma (Washington) will play basketball now that their high school careers are completed.

The former players had some sage advice for the Pacific team about to make the trip to San Bernardino.

“It’s still the same game. It hasn’t changed,” said Todd, a pitcher for the 2008 Mill Creek team. “Yes it is a bigger stage and a higher quality of competition, but at the same time you’ve got to just enjoy it and play the game. There are kids whose seasons ended months ago.”

“Stay focused, and keep the goal in mind,” said Kisena. “Regionals is just a stepping stone to the bigger prize.”

One more thing.

“Also, have fun,” Kisena added.

“If you’re not having fun, why do what you’re doing?”

Derrick Mahlum, now a pitcher for PLU, said his teammates still ask him what it was like to play in prior this season, with the Storm falling 76-68 in Indianapolis. Unlike the Storm, the Fever are in the thick of a playoff race. With eight games to play, Indiana is just a halfgame out of the second spot in the Eastern Conference, but also just a half-game up on New York for the fourth and final playoff spot. Behind Indiana and New York, Chicago is on the outside looking in on the playoff picture, but within distance to make a move down the stretch.

The Fever have been once again led by their reliable forward Tamika Catchings in

the Little League World Series. He reiterated how important it is to enjoy the experience and take it all in.

“Make the most of the chance you have,” Mahlum said. “… I didn’t realize that it was one of the best tournaments in the world for baseball. I was just out there having fun and playing baseball.

Make friends with the rest of the teams and make memories you’ll never forget.”

Cheering on the Pacific team is a unique scenario for the former Mill Creek team, which counts Pacific as one of its fiercest rivals.

“It’s good that we get to root for them now,” Scott Mahlum said.

“Usually we’re rooting against them.”

The players are excited to play against the best teams from Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and Alaska.

“I know we’re nervous but we’re really excited to play, too.

It’s a huge stadium,” pitcher Ian Michael, 12, said of Al Houghton Stadium, where the games are held. “I think you just forget about everything that’s around you and just focus on playing the game and just know we haven’t changed at all. Keep playing how we’re playing.”

“It’s a big deal,” said 13-year old shortstop/pitcher Tai Starchman, who will be playing this week for the first time since breaking his thumb in the district tournament on July 2. “I know that a lot of people are rooting for us and we really want to get to Williamsport. It’s going to be a little bit harder but I think that we can pull through and win it for sure.”

2014. The former league MVP leads Indiana in scoring at 15.8 points per game and grabs 6.4 rebounds per game.

Seattle’s six-game losing streak is a season-high and has all but put an end to the Storm’s hopes of making the playoffs for a league-record 11th consecutive season.

A loss today coupled with a Los Angeles victory over Connecticut on Sunday would officially eliminate the Storm from the postseason.

Lester sits as trade deadline approaches

TODAY’S GAME Seattle at Cleveland 4:05 p.m.

Herald news services

TV: ROOT (cable) Radio: ESPN (710 AM) Probable starting pitchers: Today — Mariners right-hander Chris Young (9-6, 3.04) vs. right-hander Zach McAllister (3-6, 5.65).

Trade rumors continue to swirl around M’s

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

CLEVELAND — Alex Rios?

Josh Willingham? Chris Denorfia? Marlon Byrd? Could one of those outfielders be wearing a Mariners’ uniform by the weekend? What about left-handed pitcher and Tacoma-native Jon Lester?

Someone else? Utilityman Emilio Bonifacio, maybe?

The rumors keep circulating around the Mariners as the hours count down to the non-waiver trading deadline at 1 p.m. PDT Thursday.

The Mariners — no secret, here — are trying hard to bolster their attack. Their clear preference, also well-known, is to obtain a right-handed-hitting outfielder.

But they are also looking for upgrades in other areas.

“I don’t know what else will happen,” said general manager Jack Zduriencik, who is on the trip along with most of his senior staff. “We’ll continue to have conversations. ... Who knows what’s around the corner?”

The Mariners have been linked to nearly every right-handed hitter believed to be available — plus Lester, Tampa Bay ace David Price and others.

Officials from rival clubs say the Mariners have the necessary prospects to make deals for immediate help.

So far, though, it’s just talk — lots of talk and much of it is conflicting. Example: There were two reports Wednesday from Boston, within minutes of each other, contending the Mariners were “in” and “not in” on Lester.

“Right now, nothing is imminent,” one club official said before adding: “But that could change.”

In other words: stay tuned for a few more hours.

Trades can take place after the deadline, but the players involved must first clear waivers. Players must be on a club’s roster by Sept.

1 in order to be eligible for postseason play.

Cubs win marathon game Associated Press CHICAGO — The Cubs turned to catcher John Baker when they ran out of relievers in Tuesday night’s 4-3 marathon victory over the Colorado Rockies, and he pitched a scoreless 16th inning to get the win. He also slid home with the game-ending run on Starlin Castro’s sacrifice fly.

The game lasted 6 hours, 27 minutes, setting a franchise record for both teams.

“Last night was great and it was a lot of fun and something we’ll always remember,” Baker said.

M’s Ackley doesn’t worry about where he bats in lineup

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

CLEVELAND — Left fielder Dustin Ackley, back atop the Seattle Mariners lineup, contends one popular view for the leadoff role — making a concerted effort to see pitches — is a counter-productive approach.

At least for him.

“In Triple-A when I started leading off,” he said, “I think it was (a matter of) getting those thoughts out of there. The more you tried to over-think being the leadoff hitter, and trying to see pitches, that’s when you get yourself in trouble.”

Ackley served as the Mariners’ leadoff hitter Wednesday for the second straight game.

He was 3-for-5 in Tuesday’s victory when he filled the role for the first time since last season.

“I think you’ve just got to take it as no different from hitting second,” he said. “You’re going to see pitches when you see pitches. You’re going to get pitches to hit.

“It’s just a different spot.

That’s it. Just take the same atbats you’ve always been taking.”

Lately, Ackley’s at-bats have been, pretty much, exactly what the Mariners want to see.

He entered Wednesday on a 30-for-77 surge (.390) since the calendar turned to July. His average has climbed from .214 to .256.

“This is the guy I envisioned him being,” manager Lloyd McClendon said. “Same swing.

He’s getting hits. He’s attacking the outside pitch. He’s swinging

M’s From Page C1

Hernandez (11-3) pitched his way into the record book by holding the Indians to two runs and four hits in seven innings.

It marked his 14th consecutive start of pitching at least seven innings and allowing two or fewer runs.

That’s a major-league first.

Hernandez and Tom Seaver had shared the record at 13 in a row. Seaver did it in 1971 for the New York Mets. The previous AL record was 12 by Chief Bender of the Philadelphia A’s in 1907.

“It’s an honor,” Hernandez admitted. “It means a lot to me.

I’m happy to do that. I’ve just got to continue to be consistent and keep doing what I’m doing.”

This time, it just wasn’t good enough.

The Mariners (55-52) lost for the eighth time in 11 games since the All-Star break and fell three games games behind Toronto in the battle for the AL’s final wild-card berth.

The non-waiver trading deadline is 1 p.m. Pacific time Thursday.

at strikes, and he’s got some positive results.”

The secret, Ackley believes, is not only not trying to see more pitches ... but simply not thinking at all once he gets into the batter’s box.

“The goal all year,” he said, “has been to get my swing to the point where I don’t have to think about it; where I can just go up there and hit. That’s where it’s been the last couple of weeks.

“That’s really the ultimate goal for me, to just clear my head and get up there.”

Paxton’s progress Left-hander James Paxton took another step toward an anticipated Saturday return to the rotation by reporting positive results from a 45-pitch bullpen workout.

“I was feeling great,” he said. “In my mind, I’m ready to compete.”

The Mariners are likely to wait until at least Thursday — to see whether Paxton experiences any day-after problems — before confirming plans to activate him after nearly four months on the disabled list.

“I’ve been waiting a long time,” he said. “To be able to go out there, throw as hard as I want and not have any pain at all, or any tightness the next day, is really good.”

Paxton exited an April 8 start against the Angels because of what was later diagnosed as a strained back muscle. A late May rehab assignment ended when he experienced shoulder soreness.

Now, he feels fine.

“Honestly, I thought it was going to be a shorter rehab than it ended up being,” Paxton said. “I had that little setback there that took some time. But I’m just happy to be back where I am right now. Feeling nor-

The Mariners didn’t see Kluber last month when the Indians visited Safeco Field, but they got an eyeful on this occasion. He yielded just three hits, all singles, while striking out eight and walking none.

Still, if anything, Hernandez was the better pitcher through the early innings. He retired the first 12 Indians in a row before finding trouble in the fifth after issuing a leadoff walk to Carlos Santana.

Then it fell apart in a hurry.

Lonnie Chisenhall followed with a liner to right field that probably should have been a single, but the ball got past Endy Chavez for a double. (“Tough route,” McClendon admitted.)

Santana probably should have scored, but third-base coach Mike Sarbaugh opted to hold the runner.

The Mariners shortened their infield, and Hernandez responded by inducing a grounder by Nick Swisher to the right-side hole that should have (1) scored a run and (2) resulted in an out at first.

Neither happened.

Santana again held third when second baseman Robinson Cano flagged down the

mal again.”

The Mariners can accommodate Paxton’s return from the 60-day disabled list on their 40-man roster but would need to make a corresponding move to create space on the 25-man active roster.

Short hops Mariners right-hander Hisashi Iwakuma reached the 2,000-inning milestone by pitching through the seventh in Tuesday’s 5-2 victory over the Indians. Counting 1,541 innings over 11 seasons in Japan, Iwakuma is now at 20032⁄3 for his career. ... McClendon said he’s “hopeful” that outfielder Michael Saunders can begin a rehab assignment by the end of the weekend. Saunders took batting practice again in his recovery from a strained left oblique suffered July 10. ... The Indians traded pitcher Justin Masterson to St. Louis before the game for outfielder James Ramsay.

Minor details Two of the Mariners’ top prospects, third baseman D.J. Peterson and outfielder Austin Wilson, returned Tuesday from injuries.

Peterson, 22, went 0-for-4 with a walk as the designated hitter in Double-A Jackson’s 2-1 loss at Mobile (Diamondbacks). He suffered a bruised left wrist last Saturday while fielding a grounder.

After starting the season at Hi-A High Desert, Peterson is batting .286 in 27 games at Jackson with five homers and 16 RBI. He was the Mariners’ first-round pick in 2013.

Wilson, 22, marked his return from a foot injury, which occurred June 24 at Lo-A Clinton, by hitting an inside-the-park homer in his second at-bat in a rehab start for Peoria in the Arizona Rookie League.

A second-round pick in 2013, Wilson was batting .298 at Clinton with 11 homers and 52 RBI in 65 games at the time of his injury.

ball, but first baseman Logan Morrison was out of position after breaking toward the ball — and Hernandez failed to cover first.

The result was a single that loaded bases with no outs.

“I was thinking it was going through,” Hernandez said, “but I should have known Cano was there. He’s a great second baseman, and I should have been at first.”

The Mariners turned David Murphy’s grounder to first into an out at the plate, but Yan Gomes squirted a grounder past first for a two-run double and a 2-0 lead.

“I got lucky,” Gomes said. “I was looking for another pitch.

I was telling the guys you have to use the whole field. You have to use the first base line if you can.”

It was a back-breaker.

“Fastball,” Hernandez said.

“It was a good pitch. Off the plate. I couldn’t believe it.”

Chris Dickerson’s grounder to first resulted in another out at the plate, a tag play this time, before Hernandez ended the inning by striking out Jason Kipnis.

So two runs. That was it. It was one more than Kluber needed.

TORONTO — Jon Lester would be able to pitch immediately for his new club if he’s dealt by the Boston Red Sox before Thursday’s Major League Baseball trade deadline. Which team that might be is unclear.

The Red Sox scratched Lester from his scheduled start Wednesday night against the Toronto Blue Jays as interest swirls around the 30-year-old left-hander who has a 110-63 record with a 3.64 earned run average over nine seasons in Boston.

Nine months after winning the World Series, the Red Sox are in last place in the American League Eastern Division and in position to be sellers at baseball’s trade deadline. The Pittsburgh Pirates, Los Angeles Dodgers, Blue Jays, Milwaukee Brewers, St. Louis Cardinals and Seattle Mariners are among those teams contending for a playoff spot who might be interested in parting with prospects for Lester, who is 10-7 with a 2.52 ERA and will become a free agent after this season.

“Any team that gets him, they’re getting a postseason warrior,” said MLB Network analyst John Hart, a former general manager of the Cleveland Indians and Texas Rangers. “Boston’s decision is going to be, ‘If we trade Lester now, can we re-sign him again in the winter and can we pick up one or two top-flight prospects in return?’”

By calling up Brandon Workman from the minor leagues to make tonight’s start, the Red Sox have made Lester available to pitch for his new team immediately after any possible trade.

Lester has a 6-4 record in the postseason and is 3-0 with a 0.43 ERA in his three career World Series starts.

Cardinals acquire Masterson CLEVELAND — Justin Masterson began the season as the Cleveland Indians’ ace. He’ll end it with a different team in a different league.

The Indians traded the disappointing Masterson to the St. Louis Cardinals, a deal that will allow Cleveland to get something in return for the right-hander who was in his final year under contract.

In exchange for Masterson, who was scheduled to come off the disabled list later this week, the Indians got outfielder James Ramsey. A firstround pick by the Cardinals (No. 23 overall) in 2012, Ramsey has spent this season at Double-A Springfield, where he batted .300 with 13 homer and 36 RBI.

Scully to return for 66th season LOS ANGELES — Vin Scully poked fun at himself after word came out that he plans to return for his record 66th season in the Los Angeles Dodgers’ broadcast booth next year.

“I agree with everybody else: It’s a long time to be working at one job with no advancement,” he said, smiling.

The 86-year-old Hall of Fame announcer, his red hair faded by the years but still in good health, continues to be thrilled describing the action on the field.

“It really is a privilege and good fortune to have this job,” he said Wednesday. “I’ve loved it from Day One.” Scully was reminded of his love for the game in the third inning of Tuesday night’s game against Atlanta. B.J. Upton tagged up at third and charged toward home on a fly ball to center.

Yasiel Puig used his cannon of an arm to throw home, with Upton scoring ahead of the tag.

“After that I sat back and thought that’s the way you were the first day you started doing this game,” he said.

“You see this play building and it just gets to you. That play last night convinced me.”

The Dodgers revealed Scully’s return on Tuesday, when talking microphones featuring his dulcet tones were given away to fans. The crowd reacted with a standing ovation for Scully, who waved from his booth.

The umpiring crew joined in the applause.

“It was very difficult last night, not only to stand there and hear and receive the ovation, but I still feel like I haven’t done anything except show up every day at work,” he said. “When I sat down, as quickly as I could, it was this overwhelming ‘Thank God I can get back to doing the game.”’

Scully has never prepared words to say, only statistics to read on the air.

“I want it to be as honest as possible,” he said. “There are a lot of times I drive home saying, ‘Dummy, why didn’t you say what you’re thinking of right now?”’

76ers don’t like new NBA lottery format

By Keith Pompey The Philadelphia Inquirer

PHILADELPHIA — Multiple NBA sources have confirmed that the Philadelphia 76ers are against a proposal that would balance out the draft lottery as early as next summer.

General manager Sam Hinkie could not be reached for comment.

League sources said Wednesday afternoon that the Sixers won’t get any sympathy from fellow franchises. That’s because for the second consecutive season, the Sixers are expected to field a roster below NBA standards in order to guarantee losses in hopes of a high draft pick.

This tactic, said one Eastern Conference executive, is having “a negative effect on the integrity of the NBA.” He believes the proposed new format, which could get a league vote in the fall, would go a long way to preventing teams from duplicating what the Sixers are doing.

Under the current format, the team with the worst record has a 25 percent chance of receiving the top pick in the current lottery. The squad with

loving it and trying to make the most of it.”

Making the most of it now means trying to establish himself in Seattle’s defensive line rotation after missing all of the 2013 season.

Scruggs, a seventh-round pick out of Louisville — Specht made good on his promise, helping Scruggs land several scholarship offers — carved out a small role as a rookie in 2012, and in 11 games had 11 tackles and two sacks. Now, with the Seahawks losing Clinton McDonald in free agency and releasing Red Bryant and Chris Clemons in salary cap-related moves, there are jobs to be won in Seattle’s D-line rotation, and so far Scruggs looks to have a good chance to find a role. Like Michael Bennett, one of Seattle’s best defensive players, Scruggs is trying to stand out with both athleticism and versatility, and early in camp he’s making a strong impression playing both as an end and an interior pass rusher.

“To come off an ACL and be that fast is pretty good,” Bennett said. “It’s crazy how good he is.”

Scruggs isn’t just fast, he’s gotten bigger, going from roughly 290 pounds as a rookie to 310 at the start of camp this year.

“He’s come back really in great shape,” Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said.

“He’s bigger and stronger than ever … We really cherish the guys who can do more than one thing and we love to have the flexibility. He can play the inside and outside so we’re going to use him doing all of that and just see how it goes.”

Yet for all Scruggs is poised to do on the field, he perhaps stands out more for the goofy, and giving, character he is off of it. For the goofy side, just follow his Twitter or Instagram accounts — Wednesday he posted a video of Brandon Mebane swimming and wrote, “Bet y’all didn’t know we had an aquarium. We named this whale Brandon. Or check out the weekly podcast called “Beauty and the Champ” he does with Ellen Tailor on 100.7 The Wolf. And by the way, Scruggs claims he’s both Beauty and the Champ.

the second worst record has a 19.9 percent chance, while the third-worst team has a 15.6 chance of getting the No. 1 pick.

The odds keep shrinking until the lottery team with the best record has a 0.5 percent chance of moving up.

Several aspects of the proposed format have yet to be finalized. But it would balance out the odds so all 14 lottery teams would have a chance to win the top pick.

The proposal would give at least the teams with the four worst records an equal 11 percent chance of winning the top pick. The next team would receive a 10 percent chance. The lottery team with the best record would have a 2 percent chance of finishing first.

The NBA Board of Governors could vote to pass this proposal during its preseason meeting in October.

The Sixers believe they are just taking advantage of a rule that has been in place.

However, a league source said teams believe the Sixers made a mockery of that rule by fielding a roster full of NBA Development League talent.

For the generous side, watch Scruggs interact with his fans, both in person and on social media.

Some famous people tolerate fans; Scruggs goes out of his way to interact with them. When he came off the field to be interviewed for this column, quarterback Russell Wilson was about to address the media. Scruggs, realizing that this writer had to make a choice, laughed and said, “Oh, you want to get Russell. Go ahead man, you can get Russell.

Go ahead, man.”

And what’s relevant here wasn’t that Scruggs was accommodating to the media, but rather what happened next.

Instead of waiting in an air-conditioned building after two hours of practice in the sun, Scruggs walked back out into the mid-80s heat to sign autographs for 10 minutes while Wilson held his press conference.

Scruggs is also a guy who will solicit off-day plans on Twitter, then show up at somebody’s barbecue or birthday party, or just take a teenage fan for lunch.

“The fact that somebody wants to take the time to acknowledge me, follow me, yell my name, the least I can do is give my attention,” Scruggs said. “If I were to yell your name on the street, you would respond. I’ve been blessed to be in the position I’m in.

“You never know. The way I look at it is that the person who I sign an autograph for, or the person I took the time to shake their hand, to hug, to kiss on the cheek, to take a picture with, whatever, that person might have been on their way home to commit suicide, that person might have been going home to an abusive household, and the least I can do is give them a glimpse of joy and a glimpse of happiness.

“I’ve always liked to be that way just because you never know what somebody’s going through, and we’ve got the platform to make a tremendous impact.”

Scruggs’ impact has already been felt by many Seahawks fans over the past two years. Healthy once again, he’s now ready to make his impact on the field in 2014.

Seahawks’ Jones enters Hall of Fame on Saturday

SEAHAWKS | Notebook

By Tim Booth Associated Press

RENTON — As Walter Jones started going through names to give his induction speech at the Pro Football Hall of Fame, he constantly came back to his son Walterius.

The youngster was with him in New York during Super Bowl week when Jones found out he’d be honored in his first year of eligibility, and just the third player having spent their entire career with Seattle Seahawks to be inducted. It felt only right to have the 14-year-old give the speech.

Talk about a unique summer vacation project.

“When I asked him if he wanted to present me he was like, ‘Well, there’s nobody else that’s going to do it,”’ Jones said. “He’s been with me throughout this whole process, so he was an easy answer to present me.”

Regarded as one of the game’s best offensive tackles ever, Jones will get his gold jacket Saturday night and add to a year that has seen the Seahawks reach the pinnacle of the NFL. The party in New York in February didn’t stop with Jones being voted into the Hall of Fame on his first try. That was just the beginning. A day later, he was at MetLife Stadium to watch Seattle’s 43-8 rout of Denver to claim its first championship.

It was a moment Jones was hoping to experience as a player in February 2006 when Seattle reached its only other Super Bowl, losing to Pittsburgh. A championship is about the only thing missing from Jones’ extensive resume.

“When I came into the league, I wasn’t thinking about, ‘Man, I want to be in the Hall of Fame.’ As you play the game, you watch guys. You say, ‘That’s the way I want to play the game of football,”’ Jones said.

“For me, it’s all about respect. You always go back to the word ‘respect.’ Even guys that don’t play the game of football — or just an average fan — when they watch the game of football, they can say, ‘OK, I respect what Walter’s doing out there.’”

Jones was deemed special when he was selected with the No. 6 overall pick of the 1997 draft coming out of Florida State.

He was a unique combination of size and power, but also speed and fluidity for a man who stood 6-foot-5 and weighed 325 pounds.

His offseason workouts became folklore, pushing Cadillac Escalades as part of his regimen — and usually during some sort of contract dispute. Yet he showed up for every season opener, whether he was unhappy with his contract or not.

Jones was selected to nine Pro Bowls.

He was a four-time All-Pro. Mike Holmgren, who coached the Seahawks from 1999-2008, once called Jones the best offensive player he has ever coached. It’s a heady statement considering Holmgren coached Joe Montana, Brett Favre, Steve Young and Jerry Rice during his career.

Jones wanted to be like Anthony Munoz. And like Munoz before him, Jones became the standard for the next generation of offensive linemen.

“I think it’s a situation of setting the standard for how you want to play the game of football,” Jones said. “For me, I tried to do that every time I stepped on the football field. It just validates the things you did on the football field. So when people see you now, people say, ‘Oh, that’s the Hall of Famer Walter Jones.’ That’s something that makes you say I did it the right way,” Jones said. “When young kids go look at film, your name is talked about. So I think that’s something that has changed.

“From Day 1 when I got in the league, I wanted to establish the standard that I set. I wanted to be a guy that when you talk about offensive linemen, I wanted my name to come up.”

Seattle’s coaches once put together the numbers that helped state the dominant level at which Jones played: He blocked for more than 5,500 pass plays in his career and gave up just 23 sacks and was called for holding just nine times in 180 career games — all starts.

Jones is revered in Seattle in a way usually reserved for skill position players. It’s a statue of Jones that stands outside the Seahawks-themed bar at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. His No. 71 was retired the day he retired, while Steve Largent (No. 80) and Cortez Kennedy (No. 96) had to wait for their entry to Canton before their numbers were raised.

“Getting a gold jacket and to be a part of that team, man, it’s just amazing,” Jones said. “Then to be a part of Seattle, it’s just amazing to represent the city of Seattle, man. It’s just amazing. I started there and I ended there. It’s a lot of stuff that goes on.”

RENTON — A day after Seattle tight end Anthony McCoy suffered an Achilles injury, another Seahawk may have gone down with a serious injury.

This time it was second-year defensive tackle Jesse Williams who was carted off the field with a knee injury. Head coach Pete Carroll was not available to the media Wednesday — he generally talks every other day or so in camp — so no update was immediately available. A team spokesman later confirmed that Williams injured his knee, but no further update was given.

Williams, a fifth-round pick in 2013, missed all of last season with a knee injury that

dates back to his time at Alabama, but was back in camp and hoping to break out this season. Williams, who came in lighter this season to help alleviate the pressure on his knees, had been one of the bright spots of offseason workouts, though healthy or not, he isn’t a lock to break into the defensive line rotation.

Missing practice Rookie wide receiver Paul Richardson was held out, as was wide receiver Jermaine Kearse. Linebacker Bobby Wagner (hamstring) and guard James Carpenter (calf) were both held out after leaving yesterday’s practice early.

Wide receiver Kevin Norwood (foot) returned to action for the early part of practice but did not participate in team drills. Also back in limited fashion after missing Tuesday’s practice was rookie linebacker Kevin Pierre-Louis.

Coyle stands out With Wagner still out, rookie Brock Coyle got significant work with the No. 1 defense and has been getting strong reviews from coaches and teammates.

Good slant Wide receiver Doug Baldwin had a couple of touchdowns in the red zone on slant routes, one from quarterback Russell Wilson and one from quarterback Terrelle Pryor. Now a couple of touchdowns

by Baldwin is hardly news at practice, but that both came on slants, a pass the Seahawks weren’t particularly strong on last season, is probably a good sign.

Fly sweep Rushing touchdowns in practice can often be dubious since players can’t be tackled to the ground, so they often run through would-be tacklers who in a real game would make the stop, but the 24-yard touchdown scored by wide receiver Percy Harvin on a fly sweep was com-

pletely legitimate. Everyone knows by now that Harvin is incredibly fast, but it’s still fun to see up close.

It’s good Kicker Steven Hauschka hit a 57-yard field goal.

Catch of the day Wide receiver Bryan Walters had the catch of the day, dragging his toes after a leaping catch in the back of the end zone. There should probably be an asterisk by that play, however, because rookie defensive end Jackson Jeffcoact was in the backfield and had to pull up before hitting Wilson.

Potential starter Newly-signed right tackle Eric Winston continues to work with the second team behind Justin Britt, but especially considering he is in just his second day of camp, the veteran looks like he’s more than capable of pushing the rookie (and Michael Bowie, who has a shoulder injury) for the starting job.

Cardinals’ Peterson is highest-paid cornerback

By Bob Baum Associated Press

GLENDALE, Ariz. — Patrick Peterson is the highest-paid cornerback in the NFL. Just ask him.

Not only did he tweet out the terms of his new contract — five years, $70 million, $48 million guaranteed — he referred to himself as the highest-paid at his position at least five times in the Arizona Cardinals news conference announcing the new deal on Wednesday — twice before he was ever asked a question.

He’s long maintained he’s the league’s best cornerback.

Now he says has higher goals — the playoffs, a Super Bowl title, the Hall of Fame.

And Peterson doesn’t speak as if he’s boasting, rather just a

matter of the facts.

In just three years, he has become, as he put it, “a face of the organization.”

“He’s earned it,” Cardinals president Michael Bidwill said, “and I agree — he’s the best defensive corner in the league.”

Peterson is the first of the 2011 draft class to sign a second contract. He had two years left on his previous deal after the Cardinals picked up his fifth-year option.

“It shows that we’re a firstclass organization,” Peterson said. “We want to get the job done. We want to win, that’s the most important thing.”

By tweeting out his deal, Peterson made sure everyone knew his contract was bigger than that of Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman. The two have carried on a Twitter

rivalry for some time.

Sherman signed a four-year, $56 million contract — $40 million guaranteed — earlier this year.

Peterson rubbed it in with a tweet on Wednesday that said “You mad bro!!!” followed by five faces crying.

Sherman responded with a close-up photo of his Super Bowl championship ring and said “Can’t ever be too mad.”

“I don’t have any beef with Richard,” Peterson said at the news conference. “I’m having fun. I don’t know if he’s having fun, but I think it’s going to make me take my game to the next level.”

He noted some of Sherman’s tweets are “a little salty.”

“I guess it will be mustwatch TV when we play Seattle,” Peterson said.

It’s the second-largest

contract in Cardinals’ history, exceeded only by the eightyear contract worth up to $120 million — with nearly $50 million guaranteed, that Larry Fitzgerald signed in 2011.

Peterson doesn’t cover a particular part of the field, as Sherman does, but is assigned to the opponent’s best receiver, wherever he lines up.

“Twenty-four years old, 48 straight starts,” Cardinals general manager Steve Keim said.

“In my humble opinion there isn’t another corner in the league that has his size, speed, athleticism, explosiveness, ball skills.

“On top of that, Pat will probably be the first to tell you he hasn’t even scratched the surface yet, which is actually scary considering the fact that he could redefine the position.”

Cowboys sign tackle Smith to 8-year extension worth $109 million

By Rainer Sabin The Dallas Morning News

OXNARD, Calif. — Cowboys left tackle Tyron Smith signed an eight-year contract extension that will keep him in Dallas through 2023 and make him the highest-paid offensive lineman in the NFL. The total value of the deal, which carries through 10 seasons, is worth $109 million with $40 million guaranteed and a $10 million signing bonus, sources said Wednesday. Smith will make $32 million in the first three years of the new contract.

The ninth-overall pick of the 2011 draft, Smith made the Pro Bowl last season. In May, the Cowboys picked up the fifth-year option on his rookie contract. Before Wednesday’s news dropped, Smith’s 2015 salary was to be fully guaranteed for $10.039 million, which is equal to the 2014 transition tag for offensive linemen.

Smith was set to make a base salary of $2.079 million in 2014.

After he was drafted three years ago, he signed a fouryear, $12.5 million contract that was fully guaranteed and included a $7.6 million signing bonus. Smith’s new deal

is more lucrative than the seven-year contract extension Cleveland tackle Joe Thomas received in 2011, when he received $84 million, approximately $44 million of which was reported to be guaranteed.

“I think I have the potential to be a Pro Bowler and be a Hall of Famer,” Smith said shortly after entering the NFL. Smith, 23, is the foundation of the Cowboys’ rebuilt offensive line. He has started all 47 games in which he has played and has conceded only 14 sacks in his career, according to STATS LLC. As a rookie, he played at right tackle before

moving over to the left side in 2012 when he and Doug Free switch positions.

“He’s something else,” head coach Jason Garrett said. “And the kind of guy he is. We really emphasize the importance of mental toughness. We believe that’s a distinguishing trait in players and in teams. And he represents that in spades. He’s off the charts. We love him to death.”

Garrett made that known when Smith became the first player selected in the head coach’s regime. The USC product became a symbol of the culture Garrett was trying to establish at Valley Ranch.

UCLA’s Pauley Pavilion flooded after 93-year-old water pipe breaks Associated Press LOS ANGELES — The House That Wooden Built is waterlogged.

Pauley Pavilion, UCLA’s storied basketball arena

1097545

where John Wooden coached teams that won eight of his 10 national championships, was drying out Wednesday after its court was deluged by 10 inches of water when a

93-year-old pipe burst near the campus in Westwood.

The 49-year-old building containing precious artifacts from the Wooden era was renovated for $136 million less than two years

ago. It has hosted some of college basketball’s greatest players and moments, and Olympic history, too.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bill Walton, Reggie Miller, Ed O’Bannon, Kevin Love

and Ann Meyers starred there during their college days. The school’s record 11 national basketball championship banners hang in the rafters.

The 13,800-seat arena

is home to the men’s and women’s basketball teams.

The men’s and women’s volleyball and women’s gymnastics teams also compete there. It is named for former UCLA regent and chief donor Edwin Pauley.

UCLA’s top official in charge of campus facilities, Kelly Schmader, said the court is buckling and that the school is working to save it.

The floor will be repaired or replaced as necessary and will be ready by the start of the basketball season this fall, Athletic Director Dan Guerrero said.

“The building itself has not been structurally compromised,” he said in a statement.

Despite the rupture, no utility customers were without water. No injuries were reported.

UCLA officials said six facilities were damaged and about 960 vehicles remained trapped, with many totally submerged.

The cost of the damage has not yet been determined. DWP spokesman Joe Ramallo said people who suffered damage from the flooding can file claims with the agency, which will work with UCLA on settling the losses.

Many students took the flooding in stride on Tuesday, walking calmly across campus with their backpacks in ankle-deep water.

Post-doctoral student George Saddik stood Wednesday outside one of the garages where his SUV was parked on the bottom level.

Saddik, who had to spend the night at the home of a brother-in-law, said he was less concerned about his vehicle than about how he would commute to his home 50 miles away.

“I have insurance so I’m not sweating it,” he said.

Products that can dress up the yard

By Kathy Van Mullekom Daily Press

Sometimes, the right product is what your yard needs. It can be a helpful tool or something pretty to look at, but the result is the same: It makes your home a better place to be.

When heat, humidity and dry days take a toll on your flowers in July and August, give your yard a fresh look with pots of tropical hibiscus and mandevilla.

Although they are not cold hardy in much of the country, these plants add tropical touches to any summer décor.

Here are three examples to dress up your yard: Wonderful waterer: Now Mother Nature helps you refill a hanging waterer for little songbirds, thanks to the colan-

From garden to growler

You don’t need a garden to succeed as a home brewer, but growing your own ingredients is a flavorful step up.

Much of the creativity involved in crafting a custom-made beer starts with the plants you select.

“The modern palate pretty much demands some hops in beer, but beyond that, there’s a lot of choices available,” says Dennis Fisher, an organic farmer from Winterport, Maine.

Fisher, who with his brother Joe wrote a popular reference book for beginners, “The Homebrewer’s Garden” (Storey Publishing, 1998), says one of the most satisfying aspects of home brewing is producing some or all of your own ingredients from scratch. “Scratch brewing,” the brothers wrote, “refers to the cultivation, preparation and use of hops, barley, malts and other non-barley grains, and adjuncts ranging from fruits to herbs to vegetables.”

Growing your own ingredients ensures that the products are as organic, fresh and unique as possible. Homegrown also is cheaper than store-bought, the Fishers say.

Grow your own herbs, flowers and vegetables to add flavor to any homebrew content).

“Hops are a particularly good (garden) choice because they thrive almost anywhere,” says Dennis Fisher. “They are also a great addition to a landscape — big, attractive columns of greenery.”

If the water from your tap tastes good, then it also should taste good in the beer you make, Fisher says. “But if it’s chlorinated, then you need to let it stand overnight to allow the chemicals to outgas before brewing with it.”

Adjuncts, in homebrew speak, are plants used to replace or complement hops to give beers distinctive flavors, odors and colors.

“Just about any flower you can eat can be made into a beer,” says Rebecca Kneen, an organic farmer and writer from Sorrento, British Columbia, who wrote about backyard brewing in the new “Groundbreaking Food Gardens,” By Niki Jabbour (Storey Publishing).

“It’s useful to experiment with them all though to determine how much should be used and when they should be added,” Kneen says.

Anglo-Indian furniture a blend of cultures

C

ollectors in the 1950s usually wanted furniture and accessories in earlier styles, or perhaps a piece that represented the family’s background, like a German stein or English china. But today collectors can see and buy items from all over the world on the Internet, and auctions have become more international.

Carved wooden furniture from 18th- and 19th-century China, painted chests from Scandinavia and “Black Forest” benches and tables with large, carved bears

from Switzerland (although they were first sold as German) were not bought to use in many homes. But now interior designers and collectors want something “different” to decorate modern homes.

Anglo-Indian furniture that’s elaborately carved still is a bargain because it is not wellknown. The British East India Co. explored the world, and had created industries in many ports by the 1700s. There was profitable trade in both Chinese and Indian furniture made for

the British market. Samples of popular British chair styles, like Chippendale and Queen Anne, were sent to workmen in India to copy, and British tradesmen were sent to train Indian workers. The resulting furniture was a blend of cultures: British shapes and Indian woods like teak, ebony or rosewood. An inlay of ivory or silver was used on expensive pieces. An entire piece might be carved with a lacelike frame filled with birds and flowers. There are many records of shipments of Anglo-Indian furniture, but little

documented history. There even were complaints from British cabinetmakers that the quantity of imported furniture was harming their business.

Today, an average AngloIndian carved chair in good condition made before 1900 auctions for $150 to $300. Small center tables go for $500 or more.

When you buy, be sure any damage is minor and can be repaired, because the carvings often break.

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

JULY IS

BACKYARD SANCTUARY MONTH!

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

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

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

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

Hardware

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

Decorating essentials Décor plays an important role on a deck.

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

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

Landscaping

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.

How landscaping can deter intruders

D

one right, landscaping can do much more than attract compliments and boost your property value. It can help you repel intruders, both human and natural.

Landscaping experts who’ve earned high marks from Angie’s List members say overgrown bushes and shrubs are like welcome mats to burglars. Keep plants and trees trimmed.

Place thorny but attractive bougainvillea or barberry bushes under windows, sending would-be thieves a sharp message to go elsewhere.

Other ideas for enlisting your landscaping as part of your home security system: Upkeep: Don’t give thieves the idea that nobody’s paying attention.

Mow your grass and maintain plantings and trees.

If you’re going to be away awhile, hire a reputable lawn service.

Lights on: Illuminate your home and property with security lighting.

Options include motionsensor lights, solar pathway lighting, uplighting on the house and downlighting in trees. Newer lighting controls are relatively easy to use and can turn systems on and off when you want.

LEDs can be a long-lasting, high-value lighting option.

Rain away: While it may not be obvious, landscaping could be key to preventing a more natural intruder: rainwater. Take a look at how your lawn or flower beds slope. If they slant toward your home,

guess where water flows?

Ways to address the problem include: ■ Keep mulching materials about six inches from siding, to prevent mulch from wicking moisture to the siding and causing rot. It’s OK if mulch touches brick or block.

■ Prevent rain pouring out of overflowing gutters from displacing soil and allowing water to pool. Cover the area with river stones or other decorative rock.

■ Regrade your lawn.

Methods include creating a “dry creek,” in which a simple trench, lined with river rock or cobblestones, channels water away from the house. Another option is a French drain, in which water flows into a gravellined trench, through a

pipe and away from the house.

■ Garden experts say you can repel mosquitoes and other pesky insects by planting or potting specific plants, flowers and herbs, including citronella, marigolds, basil and lavender.

Before you hire a landscaper for some of the more complicated projects, get estimates from several companies with good reputations on a trusted online review site. Confirm appropriate licensing, insurance and bonding.

Contact references and get all pertinent details in writing.

Chili peppers make a good addition to a beer recipe if used sparingly. Many vegetables such as pumpkins, squash, potatoes and chili peppers are popular adjuncts, or additions to hops to give beers their distinctive flavors, odors and colors.

seeds you provide for them. Cole’s wild bird seed company offers three tube feeders designed for specific birds.

The clear poly tube feeder, aka Terrific Tube, is best for all-purpose seeds like pure sunflower (gets you a great variety of birds), sunflower seed mixes and suet kibbles; it features a natural grip perch that resembles the feel of a real branch so birds think they are out in the wild, $49.99.

The thistle seed feeder, aka Nifty Niger Feeder, comes with teeny-tiny holes that attract finches — think bright yellow goldfinches in summer — and pine siskins, $39.99.

The mesh feeder, aka Mighty Mesh, is designed specifically for birds that like to cling to something while they eat — chickadees, titmice, woodpeckers, warblers, finches and bluebirds.

Fill it with seed blends, raw peanuts or sunflower-based blends; $39.99.

All three are easy to clean — push a button and the bottom pops off for each access. If you’re looking for a brush to clean your feeders, consider using a dryer lint brush, which comes with stiffer bristles and a handle longer than most brushes made specifically for feeders.

Wash feeders in a mild solution of bleach and water and rinse

New lavender: Phenomenal aptly describes this lavender with silver foliage that doesn’t die back at the base. Cold hardy to Zone 5, the lavender also tolerates heat and humidity without stress.

Q: I have a blue-andwhite beaded purse with a metal clasp and chain.

It’s needlepoint with cut steel beads. It was my grandmother’s, so it must be 60-80 years old. Does it have any value, and where can I sell it?

Herbs: (Bittering) Sage, horehound, gentian, yarrow. (Flavoring) Juniper, rosemary, ginger, oregano, mint, thyme.

(Aromatic) Lavender, lemon balm, chamomile.

Flowers: Nasturtiums, wild roses, scented geranium leaves, daylilies and marigolds.

Vegetables and fruits: Rhubarb, blackberries and elderberries, pumpkin, chili peppers, sorghum, apples. “We like to add spruce tips to some beers,” Fisher says.

“It’s more of a wild-gathered than home-grown adjunct that in Colonial times was a hops substitute.”

Phenomenal’s long-stemmed flowers and silvery foliage are classically fragrant, and can be used as fresh-cut flowers indoors. Oils from the plant can be used for baking, cocktail recipes, sachets, lip balms and decorative crafts.

The plant likes full sun and regular garden soil, and grows to 4 feet tall and 3 feet wide, with vibrant purple flowers covering it. Use it as a stand-alone specimen, border plant or eye-catching, low-growing hedge.

A: Beaded purses were popular in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Many were imported from Europe.

Beadwork was a popular form of needlework, and directions for making beaded bags were printed in women’s magazines.

Beaded purses are still popular fashion accessories and are made by some well-known designers today. Any vintage clothing store will be interested in your beaded purse if it’s in good condition. Price depends on style, intricacy of the design and condition. Good purses sell for $150 to $250, while exceptional examples have brought about $800.

Q: I have a Heineken beer mug marked “Blue Delfts” on the bottom. I thought it ought to say “Delft.” Do I have a fake?

A: That depends on what you mean by “fake.”

You don’t have an antique piece of Dutch delft pottery. They are not marked the way yours is. And while Heineken beer has been around for more than a century, blue-and-white pottery with that brand name on the front was made as giftware much more recently. Your mug might not even have been made in Holland. A mug like yours sells online for about $10.

Can you provide any information on these figurines and their value?

A: David Grossman opened his company in Hazelwood, Missouri, in 1968. The company made figurines, limited editions, music boxes, ornaments and snow globes. Some of the popular series of figurines made by Dave Grossman include Norman Rockwell, “Gone With the Wind” and “The Wizard of Oz.” The company

The value of your figurines is about $10 each.

Tip: Don’t leave vinyl tablecloths or rubber or plastic placemats on a wooden tabletop for a long time. They may react with the finish and cause damage.

Sibs aren’t spending time with mom

DAILY CROSSWORD

Adapted from a recent online discussion.

Dear Carolyn: I am the youngest of five siblings. We lost my dad almost a year ago. My parents were married for 60 years, and my mom is lost without my dad. She has never been alone.

I am close to my mom, and talk to her every day, and now sometimes twice a day. I visit every week and usually spend the night.

She lives two hours from me. I am heartbroken that none of my brothers or sisters has the time to call or visit.

I promised my dad that I would take care of my mom. I will happily fulfill that promise, but I cannot be the answer to her loneliness all by myself. I have a job and a family, just like my siblings. I do not want to have a showdown with my brothers and sisters over their lack of ... caring? interest?, but how do I get them to wake up?

— Sibling They could easily be writing in to me to say that it’s up to your mom, not her kids, to be the answer to her loneliness, but one sibling is pressuring them to be your mom’s entire social life.

Obviously, we all need to spend time with people we love, for their

CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT benefit as well as our own — and I’m not suggesting that everyone let Ma figure it out her own darn self.

But, it’s OK to give your mom some responsibility for her own happiness before you go blaming your sibs. It also would help, no doubt, if you looked at this not with a conviction that they’re wrong and you’re right, but instead that they have their way and you have yours. That makes your task a lot less presumptuous. Plus, if you work with their strengths, then you’ll likely be much more successful.

But, again, start with Mom herself. Talk to her about what she needs, what she craves, how her arrangements at home can be adjusted to make these things easier. Ask what her hometown offers in the way of support and

socialization. Ask if she wants you to look into it for her. Does she even want you doing all this?

Then, with her or on your own, figure out which sib has a strength or skill — who’s mobile, who’s organized, who’s plugged in, etc.

— that can be leveraged to enrich your mom’s life. Then, if Mom won’t do it herself, you approach each sibling in a “Hey, I have an idea” way — or better, “Mom asked me to ask you if you’d be willing to [blank],” which is going to be so much better received than “I’M TAKING CARE OF MOM ALL

BY MYSELF, YOU INGRATES.” As in: “Mom needs help with remembering appointments and coordinating rides. Are you willing to step in as schedule-keeper?

It’s doable from home.” Or, “Mom said she wanted help sorting old photos. Do you have a free day sometime in the next month?”

Specifics are easier for people to grab onto, especially if they’re expressed in a way that takes your family dynamics into account.

Craving for six-pack abs puts swimmer in danger Dear Abby: I’m a 21-year-old man who has been a successful swimmer in high school and now in college. Over the past few months, I have become obsessed with developing six-pack abs. I have never had much success with women, and I thought that looking like a movie star might finally get me noticed and make me feel good about myself.

As a result, I have become obsessive about my diet. I have dropped 10 pounds, mostly muscle, and my performance in the pool has suffered. If I don’t see perfect definition between every ab and don’t exercise for at least 2½ hours a day, I feel fat and guilty whenever I eat.

I have awakened in the middle of the night worrying about what I’ll eat the next day. I’m concerned for the future when my metabolism will inevitably slow down.

I have begun to think that death is a better scenario than being fat, or feeling that way. I want to be able to enjoy eating again and get my life back.

I don’t want to tell my parents or friends for fear of seeming weak-minded.

Where can I go for help?

— Feeling Lost In New Mexico Dear Feeling Lost: Physical perfection is no guarantee that you’ll find love. Liking yourself and accepting yourself for who you are is what attracts others.

Although “looking like a movie star” can be an asset — depending upon who the movie star is — unless you are secure about who you are and what you have to offer, you can’t maintain a healthy relationship. (If you don’t believe me, look at the tabloids and start counting how many movie RIP HAYWIRE

If you truly think that death might be preferable to being fat, then you are in trouble. You may have a serious eating disorder, one that could shorten your life. Most people who have an eating disorder need professional help to overcome it, so the place to go is to your student health center. Ask to speak with a mental health counselor about what you’re doing and how you’re feeling. It is important that you understand what has caused this so you can be successfully treated.

Dear Abby: My parents’ 25th wedding anniversary is coming up. I thought it would be nice to have a dinner with the 12 to 14 people who were in their wedding party.

Any advice? — Son Of “Silver” Parents In Massachusetts Dear Son: I think the sentiment is sweet, but if you are going to have this kind of an anniversary party for your parents, you should wait until you can afford to host it. For this one, invite your parents out for dinner, and give them the kind of party you’re planning on their 30th.

A unique quality of bridge is that it’s stimulating to play even when you’re losing or (as usual) holding bad cards. But defending with a bad hand is a pitfall for many players.

In today’s deal, West had two jacks, heard North-South bid to game, and apparently tuned out for the rest of the deal. He led a spade, and declarer won in dummy and led a trump: nine, king, four. On the next trump, West followed with his jack, and dummy played low.

South won the next spade and cashed four diamond tricks, pitching a club. He then led a trump, and East was end-played: He had to concede a ruff-sluff or break the clubs, saving declarer a guess for the jack.

West’s defense was no better than the weakness of his hand. On the first trump lead, West should unblock his jack.

When South leads another trump, East can take the ten and ace and exit safely, and South must locate the jack of clubs to make his game.

Would South have guessed right? We’ll never know, nor

will West.

‘Pawn Stars’ plan a retail plaza Aretha

Frankin’s all ears for state fair food

By Michelle Rindels Associated Press

LAS VEGAS — The long parade of tourists who regularly stop by the downtown Las Vegas shop featured on the History Channel reality show “Pawn Stars” could soon have something better to do while waiting in line.

Gold & Silver Pawn Shop coowner Rick Harrison has drawn up plans for a Pawn Star Plaza shopping center that could boast six restaurants and about 16 small shops. The company’s general contractor has submitted the proposal to the city planning department, and a review is expected in September, according to pawn shop general manager Theo Spyer.

“We have always tried to improve our customer experience while waiting in line,” Spyer said.

The plaza, which Harrison estimates would cost $2 million to build, would consist of several colorful, modular units fit together like a Rubik’s Cube.

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Melvin Effendi (left) Caylin Effendi and Delwyn Effendi have their picture taken at the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop in Las Vegas on Monday.

Harrison said he was inspired

by Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh’s nearby Container Park, which is built out of shipping containers commonly found on trains and barges.

The pawn shop, which is open 24 hours a day, is located in a gritty area near bail-bond offices and a now-closed tattoo parlor. Harrison told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that he

wants to help rejuvenate the area without using city redevelopment funds.

“I really want to see this part of town do great,” he said.

But the prospect of profiting off the steady stream of visitors is also driving the project.

“Making money is my third or fourth most favorite thing in the world,” Harrison told the newspaper.

SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY 50 years ago (1964) Four of the nine craft competing in the Everett Yacht Club-sponsored sailboat handicap race from the jetty to Maple Heights and back, were shown circling the starting buoy. The were Taku II (the winner), owned by John Butts; Hecate, owned by Bill Rohweder; Westwind, ownerd by Vern Parker and the Mukilteo Sea Scout boat.

Eleven members of Boy Scout Troop 25 received advancement badges at Faith

Lutheran Church. They were Mike Lehman, Steve Groshong, Dennis Bolger, Warren Dart, Jeff Greenstreet, Bruce Honeyman, Kim Fadeff, Chuck Gard, Dennis Dow, Desmond Moss and Jens Kuljurgis.

25 years ago (1989) Profiled was the late Hap Annen. As a youngster in Everett’s Riverside neighborhood, the good-natured boy used to stare up at Mount Pilchuck wondering what it was like up close. After he retired he

fulfilled his lifelong love affair with the mountain by serving as the lookout.

When Gordon and Elisbeth Oliverson bought their Lynnwood home nearly 30 years ago, their yard was about as barren as the South Dakota badlands and just as dusty. “Elisbeth Park” at 18808 46th Ave. W. was a floral work of art. The Oliverson’s granddaughter Shana Wardien enjoyed the yard.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — There’s something beyond delivering a set packed with her hits that’s got Aretha Franklin jazzed about fair season: the food.

Ahead of her performance today at the Ohio State Fair, the Queen of Soul says she’s eager to track down some elephant ears, a fair staple of fried dough sprinkled with powdered sugar.

“I’m looking forward to it,” she said. “I love the state fair, and I love the elephant ears.”

There may be plenty of opportunities for fried treats ahead, given that her busy 2014 tour also includes performances at the Wisconsin and Minnesota state fairs in August.

Franklin says her Columbus performance will be packed with familiar songs, selections from an upcoming CD being produced by Babyface and Andre 3000, and “a few surprises; I love surprises.”

After some health issues, the R&B diva says she’s feeling as good as she did in her 50s but prefers not to focus on how far past 50 she is now.

“I am certainly old enough to be out after midnight,” the 72-year-old star says. “Age is just a number.”

She says she’s planning a vacation to New York after her Wisconsin gig, including a stop at the U.S. Open. She also is taking French lessons and studying classical piano with a Julliard graduate.
