Chantel Craig, 1 ½, and her sister, 3, were covered in painful sores caused by sitting for days in soiled diapers. There were lice in their hair and their diapers and blankets were infested with

maggots and bed bugs. They were malnourished and dehydrated.

The girls were kept strapped in their car seats for long stretches, only being allowed out for about an hour a day.

Carlson, a heroin addict, and her daughters were living for weeks in an inoperable car down a gravel road on the Tulalip Indian Reservation.

EVERETT — A Florida couple who say an Everett firefighter scammed them out of $1,100 when he bought their motor home last month have been calling City Hall in an effort to get the money.

City officials say they plan to ask the firefighter about it when he returns from vacation.

It’s the second time in two years that firefighter Eric Watson, 44, has been accused of improper behavior and untruthfulness. He has been an Everett firefighter since 1994.

Prosecutors in 2013 considered criminal charges after Watson was found in possession of antiques taken from the burned-out McCrossen Building downtown.

At the time, prosecutors declined to file charges, saying that Watson showed poor judgment and gave police conflicting statements, but they couldn’t prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he knew the antiques were stolen. That’s a requirement under state law to convict someone of possessing stolen property.

Meanwhile, police in Florida say the motor home dispute is a civil matter, but they have not

Brady, wounded in attempt on Reagan’s life, dies

By Darlene Superville and Douglass K. Daniel Associated Press

WASHINGTON — James Brady, the affable, witty press secretary who survived a devastating head wound in the 1981 assassination attempt on President Ronald Reagan and undertook a personal crusade for gun control, died Monday. He was 73.

“We are heartbroken to share the news that our beloved Jim “Bear” Brady has passed away after a series of health issues,” Brady’s family said in a statement. “His wife, Sarah, son, Scott, and daughter, Missy, are so thankful to have had the opportunity to say their farewells.”

Brady, who spent much of the rest of his life in a wheelchair, died at a retirement community in Alexandria, Virginia, where he lived with his wife.

He suffered a bullet wound to his head in the assassination attempt outside the Washington Hilton Hotel on March 30, 1981.

Although he returned to the White House only briefly, he was allowed to keep the title of presidential press secretary and his White House salary until Reagan left office in January 1989.

Former first lady Nancy Reagan said she was “deeply saddened to learn of Jim Brady’s passing today. Thinking of him brings back so many memories — happy and sad — of a time in all of our lives when we learned what it means to ‘play the hand we’re dealt.”’

A federal law requiring a background check on handgun buyers bears his name, as does the White House press briefing room.

Dan Gross, president of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, said in a statement that because of Brady’s work on gun control “an estimated 2 million gun sales to criminals, domestic abusers and other dangerous people have been blocked. As a result, countless lives have been saved.”

Of the four people stuck by gunfire in the assassination attempt by John Hinckley Jr. — later found to be insane — Brady was the most seriously wounded. A news clip of the shooting, replayed often on television, showed Brady sprawled on the ground as Secret Service agents hustled the wounded president into his limousine. Brady never regained full health. The shooting caused brain

damage, partial paralysis, short-term memory impairment, slurred speech and constant pain.

The TV replays of the shooting did take a toll on Brady, however. He told The Associated Press years later that he relived the moment each time he saw it: “I want to take every bit of (that) film ... and put them in a cement incinerator, slosh them with gasoline and throw a lighted cigarette in.” With remarkable courage, he endured a series of brain operations in the years after the shooting.

Brady was a strong Republican from an early age — as a boy of 12 in Centralia, Ill., where he was born on Aug. 29, 1940, he distributed election literature for Dwight D. Eisenhower.

In a long string of political jobs, Brady worked for some well-known bosses: Sen. Everett M. Dirksen of Illinois, Sen. William V. Roth Jr. of Delaware, and John Connally, the former Texas governor who was running for president in 1979.

When Connally dropped out, Brady joined Reagan’s campaign as director of public affairs and research.

There, his irrepressible wit made him popular with the press, but not necessarily

with the Reaganites.

Brady remained as transition spokesman after Reagan’s election. Mrs. Reagan was said to feel the job required someone younger and better-looking than the 40-year-old, moon-faced, balding Brady.

“I come before you today not as just another pretty face, but out of sheer talent,” Brady told reporters.

A week later, he got the job.

Previously, he had worked in the administrations of presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford: as special assistant to the secretary of Housing and Urban Development, as special assistant to the director of the Office of

Management and Budget, and as an assistant to the defense secretary.

He was divorced from the former Sue Beh when, in 1973, he courted Sarah Jane Kemp, the daughter

of an FBI agent who was working with him in a congressional office.

Sarah Brady became involved in gun-control efforts in 1985, and later chaired Handgun Control Inc., but Brady took a few more years to join her, and Reagan did not endorse their efforts until 10 years after he was shot. Reagan’s surprise endorsement — he was a longtime National Rifle Association member and opponent of gun control laws — began to turn the tide in Congress.

The Brady law — formally known as the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act — required a five-day wait and background check before a handgun could be sold. In November 1993, President Bill Clinton signed the bill into law.

Clinton awarded Brady the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1996.

Officials at St. Elizabeths Hospital in Washington, where Hinckley is a patient, have said that the mental illness that led him to shoot Reagan in an effort to impress actress Jodie Foster has been in remission for decades.

Hinckley has been allowed to leave the hospital to visit his mother’s home in Williamsburg, Va.

Inmate found hanging in cell dies

By Eric Stevick Herald Writer

EVERETT — A young inmate found hanging in his Snohomish County Jail cell late last month has died.

The man, 21, died at Providence Regional Medical Center Everett around 6 p.m. Saturday, officials said Monday. Word on the cause of death was not immediately available.

The man was found unconscious around 12:30 a.m. on

July 26 by a corrections officer making routine checks, Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Shari Ireton said. The inmate had been alone in his cell.

The deputy and a jail sergeant provided CPR until medics arrived from the Everett Fire Department. The inmate was revived and transported to the hospital.

He had been booked into the Snohomish County Jail on warrants late the night of July 24

for alleged domestic violence assault, possessing stolen property and theft.

During the booking process, the man had been screened for medical and mental health issues.

“Nothing alerted deputies that he might need additional monitoring,” Ireton said.

He had been in the jail before and there had not been any mental health concerns during previous stays, she said.

At one point in his childhood,

the inmate had received extensive mental health counseling, according to court r ecords.

As a teen in 2006, he was the one who found his father after he’d died. He spent time at a mental health hospital afterward.

In middle school, he was assigned to a classroom for students with sometimes challenging behaviors.

County officials have made several changes to try to reduce

the number of deaths in the jail where 10 people have died since 2010. Inmate deaths outside of the jail, such as the man who died Saturday, have not been included in that total.

There has been an incident review as is standard procedure when inmates harm themselves or are harmed by others. The review found that staff followed policies and procedures, Ireton said.

New tool for aiding 911 call responses

Perfect day for a dry run

By Rikki King Herald Writer

In the 1st Congressional District, Republican Pedro Celis, who is the favorite of the party establishment, is looking to show he can present a formidable challenge to DelBene this fall.

Also Tuesday, appointed Snohomish County Executive John Lovick, a Democrat, is up against Sultan Mayor Carolyn Eslick, a Republican, and James Deal, a Democrat.

EVERETT — A little bit of early information can go along way in an emergency.

That’s the idea behind a new service in Snohomish County that allows people to give 911 dispatchers information about their households before an emergency occurs.

For example, if a family has a grandfather with dementia, they could put his photograph into the emergency response database in case he goes missing.

Or provide the code to a gate that blocks a long driveway.

Or a description of an autistic child with unpredictable behaviors.

The service is called Smart911.

The rollout is Tuesday, to coincide with National Night Out. Police, fire and dispatchers can only access the information after someone from the household calls 911 in an emergency, officials said.

“I think this is a great program,” Snohomish County Executive John Lovick said during a news conference Monday. “I’m excited to see the results.”

Through the program, emergency officials also can use text messages to communicate with people during a 911 call. Texting with 911 is not otherwise available yet here.

The three-year contract with Smart911 is through SNOPAC, the dispatch center serving Everett and most of north and east Snohomish County. SNOCOM, the dispatch center serving urban southwest county, is not participating at this time.

Officials are encouraging anyone who lives, works or travels in

Decision, decisions: Get ballots in today

By Jerry Cornfield Herald Writer

EVERETT — Tuesday is Election Day with voters set to decide the fate of a sales tax hike in Monroe and how to narrow the field in contests for seats in the state Legislature and Congress.

Ballots returned by mail must be postmarked no later than Tuesday. Completed ballots also can be turned in at the Snohomish County Auditor’s Office or placed postage-free in

a designated drop box up until 8 p.m.

In Monroe, residents are pondering a hike in the sales tax to generate more money for maintaining city streets. Proposition 1, if approved, would raise the current 8.7 percent sales tax rate to 8.9 percent for 10 years.

It would bring in about $826,000 a year for maintaining Monroe’s streets.

Among a slew of battles for legislative seats, the most contested is in the 21st Legislative

District in south Snohomish County.

Four Democrats and one Republican are vying to succeed retiring Rep. Mary Helen Roberts, D-Lynnwood. The two with the most votes, regardless of party, will advance to the general election in November.

Democratic U.S. Reps. Suzan DelBene in the 1st Congressional District, Rick Larsen in the 2nd District and Jim McDermott in the 7th District each face multiple challengers.

The man was walking in a crosswalk at Everett and Wetmore avenues when he was struck by a pickup just before 11 a.m., according to police.

The man was taken to a local hospital, where he died from his injuries. The driver of the 2003 Chevy Silverado, a 57 year-old Everett man, remained at the scene. The victim’s name was not released Monday.

One man, 23, was shot in the back, and another, 50, had a bullet pass through his shirt.

The man who was shot told police he’d been in a fight earlier with a man, 27. Police believe the trouble began at a local bar and the 27-year-old went to his car, retrieved a gun, and started shooting when he saw the men on the street.

The gunman allegedly yelled “(Expletive) mother Russia!” as bullets flew, according to a police report.

It wasn’t clear from police reports whether anyone involved has any connection to Russia.

The suspected gunman was arrested later in the 1700 block of Puget Drive. He was being held Monday for investigation of two counts of first-degree assault and one count of malicious harassment. No charges have been filed.

The two-vehicle head-on crash happened about 4:30 p.m. at the intersection of Marine Drive and Thomle Road, according to the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office.

Wright’s obituary described him as a loving, devoted musician and artist. He loved dirt biking and other outdoor sports. A service was held in Snohomish in July.

Wright’s age was previously misstated in police reports.

Investigators do not suspect drugs or alcohol in the crash. They do not expect to seek any criminal charges.

People can create an online profile at www. smart911.com.

The information provided to Smart911 is kept secure, Mills said. Emergency responders only have access to an account for 45 minutes after a 911 call.

It is free for people to participate. The contract costs SNOPAC $60,000 a year.

Other examples of information provided could be pictures of children, in case of an Amber Alert, medical details for those who live in the home, including details about disabilities, and where extra keys are hidden. Another example would be if there are oxygen tanks in the home.

“Just those little details that can be very, very important,” Mills said.

Information on pets also can be shared.

People can decide to give 911 permission to ping their cell phones — something dispatchers normally can only do under certain strict emergency circumstances.

About 70 percent of 911 calls now come from mobile phones, said Crystal Ayco, the SNOPAC operations coordinator.

The texting available via Smart911 is aimed at those with speech or hearing problems that make phone conversations difficult, she said.

Remembering — and communicating — key details can be dicey for folks during an emergency, even for something simple such as a license plate for a stolen vehicle, said Monroe police spokeswoman Debbie Willis said.

“It just makes the information faster to get out if we need it,” she said.

OLYMPIA — Lawmakers should be given until the 2015 legislative session to make progress in fixing how the state pays for public education, Superintendent of Public Instruction Randy Dorn said in a brief to the state Supreme Court.

If lawmakers don’t do enough by next year, plaintiffs should then be allowed to petition the high court for sanctions, including asking that state spending not related to the 2012 McCleary decision be barred, Dorn proposed in a brief his office said was filed Monday.

In June, the Supreme Court ordered the state to appear before it on Sept.

3 and show how it has followed court orders in the McCleary decision or be held in contempt. The McCleary decision said

lawmakers are not meeting their constitutional duty to fully pay for basic education.

Dorn argued that sanctions aren’t the proper course of action at this time.

Last month, lawyers representing the state also argued against sanctions or a contempt finding when they filed the state’s brief with the high court.

The state attorney general’s office said in the filing that the 2015 legislative session will be key in reaching a consensus on education funding and urged the Supreme Court to wait until after the session to consider sanctioning lawmakers with contempt — something it says has never happened before.

Lawmakers were given until 2018 to fix the problem. The Legislature has been making

yearly progress reports on its efforts to fulfill the McCleary decision, and every year, the court has said in response that lawmakers aren’t doing enough.

The most recent report to the court, filed at the end of April, acknowledged that the Legislature didn’t make a lot of progress in 2014. However, it said there were ideas for fixing the situation during the 2015 legislative session, which will be a longer session.

A total of $982 million will be added to state education spending over the next two years, with most of the money going to classroom supplies, student transportation and the Learning Assistance Program for struggling students.The Legislature also made down payments toward all-day kindergarten and smaller classes in the early grades.

Damaging wildfire threatens homes near Ellensburg Associated Press ELLENSBURG — A lightning-sparked wildfire has burned about a dozen structures in Kittitas County and threatened dozens of homes about 10 miles north of Ellensburg, fire officials said Monday.

The Kittitas County sheriff’s office has issued an evacuation notice for about 80 homes in the area. Other residents have been told to be ready to leave, said Jill Beedle, a spokeswoman for the Kittitas County Emergency Operations Center.

The Snag Canyon Fire that started late Saturday scorched nearly 3 square miles of grass, brush and timber as a weekend thunderstorm whipped up winds and flames, said Sarah Foster, a spokeswoman for fire managers.

“It’s active, it’s evolving.

It’s definitely causing some problems,” she said, noting that the fire was not contained as of Monday morning.

But, with the help of light wind conditions, about 200 firefighters working the blaze have been able to hold the fire steady, Foster said.

It’s unknown if the structures that burned were full-time residences, summer cabins or outbuildings. There have been no reports of injuries.

The Red Cross opened an emergency shelter at the Mercer Creek Church in Ellensburg, and some animals are being housed at an emergency shelter set up at the Kittitas County Fairgrounds, Beedle said.

Baby left in sweltering car dies A man forgot about his 10-month-old as he watched TV and got high.

By Roxana Hegeman Associated Press

WICHITA, Kan. — A child crying on the television show “Game of Thrones” jogged a foster parent’s memory that he had left a 10-month-old girl inside a sweltering car while he and his partner smoked marijuana at their house, a police affidavit released Monday said.

More details of the Kansas case surfaced in the affidavit made public Monday. The document said Seth Jackson and his partner were smoking marijuana while the child was inside the car in Wichita, where it was around 90 degrees outside.

Jackson, 29, is charged with first-degree murder in the July 24 death. No charges have been filed against his partner.

Police say the girl was inside the car with the windows up for more than two hours.

According to the affidavit filed

by Wichita police detective Ryan Schomaker, Jackson’s partner told investigators that the girl was hot and stiff when he grabbed her from the vehicle and took her into the house. He called 911, while Jackson attempted CPR but could not get her mouth open.

Jackson made about four separate phone calls stating, “I left her in the car, she’s dead, she’s dead,” according to the affidavit.

Jackson told the officer he had arrived home after picking up the girl from the baby sitter, along with some pizza. When he arrived home he locked

the car and went inside with the pizza and his 5-year-old adopted child who was also with him.

In an interview at police headquarters, Jackson’s partner told detectives he and Jackson had been foster parents to the 10-month-old girl since she was 2 weeks old.

Police have not released the child’s name and documents in the case only use her initials.

Jackson’s partner told police that Jackson had called earlier on July 24 after taking the 5-year-old to a doctor’s appointment to let him know he would be picking up the 10-month-old girl from the baby sitter. He said he was working in the backyard when Jackson came home.

He told detectives that they watched one and a half episodes of “Game of Thrones” and smoked marijuana.

Jackson realized the 10-monthold girl was still inside the vehicle when he heard a child crying on the television show, the affidavit says.

An autopsy on the girl showed she died of hyperthermia due to heat exposure.

But Sedgwick County District Attorney Marc Bennett said the charge was warranted because the child died during the commission of an inherently dangerous felony, aggravated endangering of a child. The case is not charged as intentional murder.

Jackson and his partner had been trying to adopt the 10-month-old girl. They also had three other foster children ages 3, 5 and 18, and two adopted children ages 5 and 7. The two younger foster children were visiting other relatives at the time the 10-month-old died.

A Rikers Island juvenile detention facility officer stands watch during a visit to the jail by Def Jam cofounder Russell Simmons and entertainer L.L. Cool J in New York. The city’s juvenile jails are extremely violent and unsafe, federal prosecutors said in a scathing report released Monday.

Feds discover that NYC juvenile jails are violent Over half of the teens have been diagnosed with mental illness.

By Jake Pearson and Tom Hays Associated Press

NEW YORK — New York City’s juvenile jails are extremely violent and unsafe, the result of a deeply ingrained culture of violence in which guards routinely violate constitutional rights of teenage inmates and subject them to “rampant use of unnecessary and excessive force,” the federal government said in a scathing report released Monday.

The report, the result of a 2½-year Justice Department investigation into violence at three Rikers Island juvenile jail facilities, recommended major reforms to almost every aspect of how young offenders are treated.

It identified problems that occurred between 2011 and 2013 on Rikers that also likely hold true for adult inmates, including poor staff training,

inadequate investigations, an ineffective management structure and the overuse of solitary confinement, particularly for mentally ill inmates.

“It is a place where brute force is the first impulse rather than the last resort; where verbal insults are repaid with physical injuries; where beatings are routine while accountability is rare; and where a culture of violence endures even while a code of silence prevails,” said Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara at a news conference.

Mayor Bill de Blasio has promised to reform the nation’s second-largest jail system, with an average of 11,500 inmates held at any time.

The investigators found particular problems in the main jail that houses young inmates, where new correction officers are assigned to “one of the most combustible environments at Rikers, ill-equipped to cope with adolescents who are often belligerent and suffer from a wide range of mental illnesses and behavioral disorders,” assistant U.S. attorneys Jeffrey Powell and Emily

Daughtry wrote.

The consultant used by the federal prosecutors said that in reviewing hundreds of correctional systems, he had never seen such a high rate of punches to the head, such a high use-of-force rate and such pervasive inmate-oninmate violence.

In one 2013 case, four inmates suffered broken noses, perforated eardrums, head trauma and facial injuries during a “brutal use of force” involving multiple guards in a trailer where school classes are held.

There is no video of the encounter and, nearly a year after it occurred, investigative reports were not completed.

What’s more, in the initial useof-force reports, the officers used similar wording of how the fight went down, “suggesting that the officers may have colluded with each other to ensure their reports were consistent.”

Last fiscal year, there were 489 adolescent inmates, when the average jail stint for 16to 18-year-olds was 76 days.

More than half had a mental health diagnosis.

Ebola patients take experimental drugs Associated Press

ATLANTA — An American missionary with Ebola is getting better and has received a second dose of an experimental treatment, said the organization she works for in Liberia.

Nancy Writebol is expected to be flown to Atlanta’s Emory University Hospital on Tuesday, where she will join another U.S.

DETROIT — A federal appeals court on Monday threw out the conviction of a former tennis pro from Africa accused of beating children with toilet plungers and broomsticks to get them to perform household chores. Jean-Claude Toviave’s treatment of children at his Ypsilanti home was “reprehensible” and “deplorable” but it doesn’t amount to forced labor under federal law, the court said. Toviave, a native of Togo, helped four children emigrate from that country in 2006 with fraudulent papers.

They testified that they were beaten if they didn’t follow orders to vacuum, iron, cook, clean and shine shoes. U.S. District Judge Arthur Tarnow sentenced Toviave to slightly more than 11 years in prison in 2013. The decision by the appeals court likely won’t immediately free him because he was also convicted of other crimes in the case, including fraud and misuse of visas.

Authorities are looking into a viral Internet video that shows a man kicking a squirrel off what appears to be the edge of the Grand Canyon. But park officials said the chances of finding the man are slim. The short video posted on YouTube shows a shirtless, barefoot man in shorts and a straw cowboy hat leaving a trail of food at the edge of a canyon. He then puts on one of his shoes and kicks the squirrel into the air. Another similarly dressed man looks on. If found, the man could face a charge that falls into a category of disturbing or harassing wildlife — a federal petty offense that carries a maximum six months in jail and/or a $5,000 fine.

Israel will stop its operations, and Hamas will negotiate, each say.

JERUSALEM — After multiple broken truces, Israel and Hamas agreed late Monday to an Egyptian-sponsored ceasefire proposal that would bring a halt to the month-long war in Gaza for at least 72 hours, beginning Tuesday morning.

The agreement was worked out between Egyptian and Palestinian negotiators in Cairo, and closely resembles previous proposals for an unconditional pause in a conflict that has left nearly 2,000 people dead — the vast majority of them Palestinians.

Israel did not send representatives to the talks. But a senior Israeli official said late Monday that Israeli forces had agreed to stop their operations at 8 a.m. Tuesday and will be “watching Hamas very carefully” to see whether the Islamist movement does the same.

Ezzat Al Reshek, a Hamas representative at the Cairo talks, said that the group will abide by the cease-fire and that it is ready to begin indirect negotiations in the Egyptian capital about the terms for a lasting truce.

The cease-fire deal comes at a time when Israel and Hamas appear to be curtailing their attacks. Hamas rocket fire has diminished in recent days, and Israel pulled most of its ground troops from Gaza on Sunday.

Nonetheless, the agreement is delicate. And even as fighting in Gaza slowed Sunday, new flash points emerged beyond the territory’s boundaries, with a pair of attacks on Israelis along the line separating East and West Jerusalem.

The assaults — one with a gun, the other with a backhoe — set this bitterly contested city on edge Monday, prompting Israeli police armed with automatic weapons to set up makeshift checkpoints.

aid worker, Dr. Kent Brantly, in a special isolation unit. Brantly also received the experimental treatment before he left Africa.

The two Americans worked at an Ebola clinic in Liberia. Writebol, 59, has been in isolation at her home in Liberia since she was diagnosed last month. She’s now walking with assistance and has regained her appetite, said Bruce Johnson, president of SIM USA, the Charlotte, North Carolina-based group that she

works for in Africa. Johnson was hesitant to credit the treatment for her improvement. Brantly’s condition has also improved.

“Ebola is a tricky virus and one day you can be up and the next day down. One day is not indicative of the outcome,” he said. But “we’re grateful this medicine was available.”

The experimental treatment is made by Mapp Biopharmaceutical of San Diego, with funding from the government.

The treatment is aimed at boosting the immune system’s efforts to fight off the virus. It is made from antibodies produced by lab animals exposed to parts of the Ebola virus.

There is no vaccine or specific treatment for Ebola, but several are under development. Brantly, who works for the international relief group Samaritan’s Purse, also received a unit of blood from a 14-year-old boy, an Ebola survivor.

N.Y.: Grown-up drivers shield boy who drove toy car on busy street A 6-year-old boy drove his battery-powered toy car onto a suburban parkway before grown-up motorists rescued him, police said Monday. Westchester County police spokesman Kieran O’Leary said three drivers formed a slow-moving shield around the boy on the Bronx River Parkway, then one pulled over and ran to grab the boy and his little vehicle and move them onto the shoulder.

“A couple of cars were behind him, maybe another alongside him a little bit, somewhat protecting him from the possibility of being struck by a car that wouldn’t have seen him in time,” O’Leary said. The boy had been out with relatives in a Mount Vernon park. A cousin who was watching him got distracted and the boy took off in his toy ATV. The family spent 20 to 30 minutes looking for him, then went to police, “just as we started getting 911 calls that there’s a child on the Bronx River Parkway operating a toy vehicle,” O’Leary said. Cars routinely go 50 mph in that area. The boy was checked out at a hospital, found to be OK and reunited with his family.

AROUND THE WORLD Bangladesh: Ferry carrying hundreds capsizes A passenger ferry carrying hundreds of people capsized Monday in central Bangladesh, killing at least two people and probably many more as horrified villagers watched from the shore, authorities said. It was unclear exactly how many people were on board the M.V. Pinak because ferry operators in Bangladesh rarely maintain passenger lists. Local media said there were about 250 passengers, but the figure could not be immediately confirmed. Azizul Haque, who was among at least 44 people who survived by swimming to shore, said he jumped overboard when it became clear the ferry was going down. “The ferry went out of control due to wind and current, tilting from one side to the other,” Haque, 30, said. “Then the captain jumped out because he probably understood it was sinking. The river was rough, and there were many passengers on board.” The ferry capsized in the Padma River in Munshiganj district, about 28 milessouth of the capital, Dhaka.

McD’s to owners: ‘pay workers less’ A McDonald’s franchisee explains her frustrations dealing with McDonald’s.

By Lydia DePillis The Washington Post

The fast-food industry has become the face of the minimum wage battle. At McDonald’s, that struggle has become complicated.

Franchisees, too, often feel that following all the company’s rules and paying all its fees leaves little

leftover for them, let alone their employees.

Kathryn Slater-Carter, who owns a McDonald’s in Daly City, California, with her husband, is one of the few to have spoken up publicly — and spearheaded legislation now before the California Assembly, which is also backed by the Service Employees International Union, that would give franchisees more rights. Here’s her story, lightly edited for clarity and length.

“Three years ago, what started

us working on SB 610 was McDonald’s would not renew our franchise inside the Serramonte mall. And we went to our attorney, and he said we have no rights.

“So we started this bill. I got called into McDonald’s and told I can’t give away corporate secrets.

And I said, ‘What can I talk about?’ and I got dead silence. And in our most recent Assembly hearing, I spoke about what I had been told by a McDonald’s representative, which is that ‘You guys can make more money if you pay your

employees less.’

“They decided not to renew our franchise at all, and they kept telling us ‘Yeah you’ll be able to sell it,’ we knew the lease was up but McDonald’s kept assuring us that they intended to renew it. In January, we were negotiating, and they decided not to renew the lease at the mall. So a $2 million-a-year business is now gone.

NEW YORK— Travelers, prepare to pay more for your flight.

The average roundtrip ticket within the U.S., including taxes, reached $509.15 in the first six months of this year, up nearly $14 from the same period last year. Domestic airfare continues to outpace inflation, rising

DENVER — Colorado’s Democratic governor Monday urged those pushing dueling proposals on oil and gas drilling to stop their campaigns to avoid a messy ballot fight and called for a task force to deal with energy development.

Democratic U.S. Rep. Jared Polis joined Gov. John

Polis has financially backed two of the measures seeking limits on drilling, including increasing the distance between homes and rigs from 500 feet to 2,000 feet.

Hickenlooper said the suggested drilling restrictions pose “a significant threat to Colorado’s economy.” Opponents of the anti-fracking initiatives also See FRACKING, Page A8

WASHINGTON — General Electric Co. will invest about $2 billion in Africa by 2018 and double the local workforce in what Chief Executive Officer Jeffrey Immelt calls one of the world’s most-promising markets.

“Africa is one of the most important growth areas, purely from an economic standpoint,” Immelt said at a media event for the start of the U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit in Washington being hosted by President Barack Obama. “It’s early. It’s in very early days for Africa, so there’s still a lot yet to be done and the notion of having the summit here says that it’s important.”

GE won about $8.3 billion in orders in Africa over the last year as it accelerates operations in a continent where Immelt said sales were “almost zero” in 2000.

Revenue there last year was $5.2 billion, according to GE, which estimates that Africa’s basic infrastructure needs could generate $90 billion in investment opportunities.

The Africa spending planned

by GE will go to develop facilities, improve supply chains and train workers, according to a statement from the Fairfield, Connecticut-based company.

GE’s Africa business includes supplying locomotives for Nigeria and aircraft engines for Kenya Airways Ltd. The local payroll will swell to 4,000 people during the next few years compared with about 2,000 now as the company expands into the continent’s eastern nations, according to Jay Ireland, GE’s Africa CEO.

A case pitting a casino against gamblers who won $1.5 million in a game with unshuffled card decks may be heading toward trial. In April 2012, 14 mini-baccarat players racked up the winnings over 41 straight hands when they realized the cards hadn’t been shuffled and were coming out in a specific pattern. Many of them quickly upped their bets from $10 a hand to $5,000.

The Golden Nugget casino doesn’t want to pay them, and it wants to collect more than $500,000 it already paid. In June, Atlantic County Superior Court Judge James Isman said the casino didn’t have to pay.

Isman recently retired, and on July 25 a different judge granted a motion to reconsider the decision.

Caregivers can’t sue Alzheimer’s patient People with Alzheimer’s disease are not liable for injuries they may cause their paid inhome caregivers, California’s highest court ruled Monday in a case involving a home health aide who was hurt while trying to restrain a client. The California Supreme Court ruled 5-2 that people hired to work with Alzheimer’s patients should know the disease commonly causes physical aggression and agitation in its later stages.

The court majority concluded it would therefore be inappropriate to allow caregivers who get hurt managing a combative client to sue their employers.

Mortgage closing costs on the rise Mortgage closing costs jumped 6 percent over the past year, according to a survey released Monday from Bankrate.com. The average closing cost on a $200,000 loan hit $2,539 nationally in June, compared with $2,402 a year earlier. The increase came primarily from the fees lenders charge to originate home loans. Those fees rose 9 percent. A series of new mortgage regulations this year helped drive up closing costs, according to Bankrate analyst Holden Lewis. The rules, designed to ensure borrowers have the ability to repay their loans, took effect in January. However, closing costs were already rising before the rules took effect. In 2013, Bankrate also reported a 6 percent increase in closing costs nationwide.

“When I was a kid, my dad started working with Ray Kroc, as his realtor for Santa Barbara through southern Oregon. Ray Kroc came and played bridge in our living room. I just remember him as being just a nice man, and I read his books and I felt positively about it.

“My husband and I moved to the Bay Area out of college, he got a job with a bank and I decided I didn’t want to stay with the field I had been in, which was education. My dad said, ‘try McDonalds, you’ll either love it or you’ll hate it, and you’ll know within 6 months.’

That was in 1982. I read the franchise agreement I had to sign, and I didn’t want to. I said ‘dad, this is crazy.’ And he said, ‘just sign it, it’s going to be OK.’ And it was OK, for

“I think we can all agree that responsible oil and gas development in Colorado is critical to our economy, our environment, our health, and our future,” Hickenlooper said.

Polis’ involvement in the initiatives raised concern in his party that taking the issue to voters would negatively impact Democrats in November by increasing fundraising for Republicans who generally support oil and gas development and possibly boosting GOP turnout.

Hickenlooper is running for re-election, and incumbent Democratic U.S. Sen. Mark

“But then Ray Kroc died, and the old founding members of McDonalds were dying off or retiring, and things changed.

Maybe 20 years ago, things just started getting really weird. They had always tried to blame the operators when a program didn’t succeed, but then the corporations got very serious about every time there was a mistake, it was the operators not implementing it correctly.

“And then it became clear that they were trying to get rid of small franchisees. Now there are franchisees with 50, 60 restaurants.

The way that McDonald’s works is, you pay them rent for the building and the land, and it’s a triple net lease. Plus you pay them for advertising and promotion and PR. Then you pay the bills and what’s left at the bottom is what the owner-operator gets.

“This is not just a McDonald’s problem. The way franchisees are treated by franchisors is a

Udall is in a closely watched contest against Republican U.S. Rep. Cory Gardner. It’s a race that could help determine control of the Senate. As a compromise to avoid the ballot fight, Hickenlooper said an 18-member task force would issue recommendations to the Colorado Legislature next year on how to minimize conflicts between residents and the energy industry.

Polis said the governor’s announcement was “truly a victory for the people of Colorado and the movement to enact sensible protections and safeguards around fracking.”

“It’s interesting, nobody’s had a conversation with me, no one’s asked me to pull my initiative,” said Rep. Jerry Sonnenberg, a Republican proposing a ballot question that would prevent municipalities banning fracking from collecting state revenue that comes from drilling.

“I’m moving forward with mine,” he added.

standard thing in the industry.

“We’re fighting the International Franchise Association.

The IFA was created to keep franchisees from getting any kind of legal rights. They use unsubstantiated FUD — fear uncertainty and doubt — to scare legislators. They say for example, that it will destroy franchising. They have an ad right now saying it will put 28,050 jobs at risk. I don’t know which orifice of their body they pulled that out of. There’s no facts to back it up, they just pulled this number out. In fact, 610 will ensure that small business owners have the ability to grow their business and keep people employed and pay a fair wage.

“We try and accommodate our workers, but there’s several issues.

The way McDonalds does it, they work to bring customers into the stores with their very low prices.

past few years. Now, the airlines are increasingly enticing passengers to pay for fast-track security lines, early boarding, additional legroom and other extras that can add from $9 to $299 to the cost of a flight. So, for example, a $300 ticket can balloon to $450 on some airlines if you check two bags and pay $30 for a little more room to stretch your legs.

Most people are traveling for work. And when the economy is strong, they do more flying. Data released by the government last week shows that economic growth bounced back after a brutal winter, businesses are creating jobs at a steady pace and consumer spending is on the rise.

The Global Business Travel Association predicts that worldwide business travel will grow 6.9 percent this year to a record

was telling McDonalds that you have to get away from these low value sandwiches years ago, and they said, ‘just pay your employees less.’ McDonald’s’ success is in good quality, low-priced food. And we have a customer who comes into our store with his autistic son. And he’s in our stores at least once a day, sometimes twice a day to eat. And if all our hamburgers were $5-6, they couldn’t afford it. This is true for seniors, young families, and working folks.

“So it’s this circle, essentially, but instead of sticking with lowprice stuff at one level and giving people an opportunity to go up, if they wanted a bigger drink, to pay more, now we’ve got all size drinks at a dollar. So McDonalds has gotten itself in a trap. And as an owner-operator, if you don’t do their dollar sandwiches or other discounts, you get punished.

“To be able to offer health insurance we would have had to raise prices significantly. And

that’s on low-income people.

Part of the problem is, and this is what I told the McDonald’s folks when they wanted us to lower our wages, is the cost of living here is too high. We can’t do that. We start at minimum, because you’ve got to train people. But we move them up fairly fast.

“If McDonald’s workers unionized, I think the biggest negative effect would be that corporations, the big guys, couldn’t suck as much money off the top. I have mixed emotions on unions, and I told SEIU this. Sometimes I think the union benefits are a little over the top. But by the same token, in this stagnant economy that we’ve got, the little people are getting screwed. So I’m sure you know of the lawsuits for wage theft from the employees against McDonald’s operators in California.

Wage theft is wrong, and it comes a point at which people do need to protect themselves and their interests. If they’re working, they deserve to be paid.”

$1.18 trillion. The United States is the largest market, with travelers spending $274 billion last year.

Baggage fees and some others were introduced in 2008 to offset losses from rising fuel prices. However, this year airlines are actually paying less for fuel — $2.96 a gallon so far, 7.2 percent less than last year, when adjusted for inflation.

Passengers aren’t seeing any of those savings. One reason is that airlines no longer need to entice fliers with lower fares. There are simply fewer choices today.

A wave of consolidation that started in 2008 has left four U.S. airlines — American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Southwest Airlines and United Airlines — controlling more than 80 percent of the domestic air-travel market. Discount airlines such as Allegiant Air and Spirit Airlines have grown at breakneck speed but still carry a tiny fraction of overall passengers.

That control of the market has enabled the bigger airlines to charge more for tickets and not worry about being undercut by

the competition. In addition, the airlines are taking in about $3.3 billion a year in fees. The result: record profits.

In April, May and June, the four largest U.S. airlines earned a combined $2.9 billion. Airlines are earning so much money that they are starting to pay investors dividends — something unheard of in an industry that just a decade ago was struggling with a wave of bankruptcies.

Airlines for America, the industry’s U.S. trade and lobbying group, says passengers should blame the government, not the carriers, for higher fares. Last month, increased fees linked to the Transportation Security Administration took effect. Fliers will now pay a flat fee of $5.60 each way, up from $2.50 each way for nonstop flights and $5 for trips with connections.

But taxes and government fees still remain a small portion of what passengers pay. On a $500 roundtrip ticket between New York and Seattle, they make up 12 percent of the price.

IN OUR VIEW | Legion Memorial Park

Tree plan demands pushback It’s the nature of government that, like an overzealous barber, it tackles a job and then some.

That’s the gut reaction to the city of Everett’s plan to remove 90 trees from Legion Memorial Park in north Everett (90 out of 100 — like leaving the last drop of milk in the carton.

Technically, you didn’t finish it.) The Everett Tree Massacre isn’t a Machiavellian plot — new trees will be planted — but it raises questions on parks and city administration that merit scrutiny.

The pretext for the treeremoval plan is the cleanup associated with the Asarco smelter, which operated from 1894 to 1912 and contaminated most of northeast

Everett with lead, arsenic, cadmium and other metals.

The last Asarco parcels were sold for housing development in 1936, but contamination wasn’t detected and reported to the Department of Ecology until 1990.

When Asarco went bankrupt a settlement was reached that includes $44 million for Everett. In addition to private properties, the clean-up extends to Legion Park and the arboretum, although the vast majority of the targeted trees are in the park, which coincidentally has the fewest advocates.

As The Herald’s Chris Winters’ reports, the cleanup involves removing up to one-and-a-half feet of

contaminated topsoil and replacing it with clean dirt.

The project presents an opening for the city to deal with many of the park’s ailing trees.

But 90? As park neighbor Linda Staab said, “My original question still stands, why so many trees?”

Tree removal has zero to do with contamination — it’s a city, not a DOE plan. There is the challenge of compacted soil, which causes shallow root clusters. Six sequoias along Alverson Boulevard, for example, are so close together that they impede their own growth. In other instances, trees were improperly pruned or topped, which facilitated rot.

The following questions

need to be addressed: Are non-ailing cherry trees and birches slated to be chopped because they’re not hearty enough? With so many cases of improper pruning and topping, what safeguards are in place to minimize future screw-ups? With a price tag close to $100,000 for removal and planting, is this the best use of department resources, especially with parks in the neglected south end requiring attention? And why doesn’t Everett have a parks committee within the city council like other cities its size?

Attend the public meeting on Aug. 26 in Legion Hall from 6 to 8 p.m. to hear from the city and DOE. Pipe up and be heard.

deaths altogether.

If Hamas were to end its rocket barrages and terror tunnel program, then Israel would have no reason to wage an offensive against Hamas in Gaza. I could point out the many other fallacies in Robinson’s piece, but that would require The Herald to give me a column of my own.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■44TH DISTRICT

Leave seat vacant until November After reading the “Party politics factor into replacement for Mike Hope” article Monday in the Herald, my thought was “Why do we have to appoint anyone at all to fill the vacant seat in the 44th District for the next 90 days?”

If we wait until the November election, we let the voters decide. That’s the way it ought to be. Immediately after the election the winner can be sworn in and start representing the people of the 44th District who elected him.

An appointment would cost the taxpayers money, and not represent the will of the people.

Anyone who wants a vanity appointment to serve for 90 days, and draw a paycheck, when the state Legislature is not even in session, will not get my vote in November.

I urge the Snohomish County Council to leave the seat empty for 90 days, and let good ol’ American democracy run its course.

■■HAMAS

Acknowledge terrorism is real Regarding Eugene Robinson’s column, “Give Kerry a break”: Robinson asserts that Kerry was “right to push for an immediate cease-fire in Gaza.” But what type of cease-fire was Kerry pushing for? A unilateral cease-fire that would allow Hamas to continue firing rockets at Israeli towns and cities or a bilateral cease-fire that would include as a term the disarming of Hamas and, as a natural consequence, the easing of the blockade (the purpose of which is to prevent weapons from reaching Hamas, a terrorist organization)?

Sadly, the answer is that Kerry was pushing for a unilateral cease-fire that did not require Hamas to abandon its war against Israeli civilians or end its exploitation of Gazan civilians from whose homes, mosques, hospitals and schools Hamas launches its explosive and shrapnel-filled rockets toward purely civilian targets. Robinson’s opinion piece is a good example of the soft anti-Semitism that we see so much of in the media today.

This soft anti-Semitism couches the accusation that Israel willfully kills civilians in a seemingly balanced view of the conflict. Make no

mistake, this seemingly balanced view is an expression of hatred for the Jewish state and a form of intellectual dishonesty. This view is hateful because it does not recognize that Hamas terrorism is a real, not an existential threat to the safety of Israeli civilians.

Thousands of Israelis, Arab and Jewish alike, have been killed by Hamas and its affiliates since 2000. That Hamas has spent the last decade acquiring more and better weapons from the likes of Iran is no secret. This seemingly balanced view is intellectually dishonest because it does not acknowledge Hamas’ culpability in the civilian death rate and its ability to prevent these

■■PICNIC POINT

Save area from development Picnic Point forest, and with it, Picnic Point Creek and Puget Sound, is endangered!

A developer plans 112 homes, now called Frognal Estates, aka Horseman’s Trails, upon these steep slopes and this treacherous slide zone. This conifer forest guards Picnic Point Creek, where endangered chinook salmon and threatened silver salmon spawn.

It harbors an amazing array of wildlife, much of which is vulnerable as habitat continues to disappear. The large trees trap and salvage ever increasing storm-water runoff and fumigate odors of the Alderwood Wastewater Treatment plant.

The developer has attempted to address numerous environmental issues.

However, this blueprint for dense housing ignores the irreversible damage done to a natural zone as sensitive as this. Air and water quality, moderate temperatures, slope stability, the health of Puget Sound, Picnic Point Creek, and the forest wildlife — valuable county treasures are placed at risk.

The community challenges, too, would be substantial — heavy traffic,

■■INTERURBAN TRAIL

Say, ‘Passing on your left,’ please When the weather is reasonably decent my family and I enjoy walking the Interurban Trail.

We always walk to the right of the trail and on our 2- to 3-mile round-trip walks, we are happy to share the trail with other walkers, joggers, skateboarders, scooters and bikes. We have noticed that only a third of the folks on wheeled vehicles, who overtake us from behind as we walk, warn of their approach.

We’d certainly appreciate it if the word could be spread that it can be difficult for walkers to know when they’re about to be passed and a “Passing on your left” shouted out before going around would be a huge help. That would prevent what could be an awful accident if one of us happened to move to the left of the trail for whatever reason.

We gladly share the trail; we just don’t want to be accidentally mowed down as we do it.

By the way, thank you to those who do warn us as they’re about to go by.

Netanyahu’s turn to work for peace

W

ASHINGTON — Now it’s Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s turn to show that he has the vision and leadership to build a durable cease-fire that could empower moderate Palestinian moderates and begin building a pathway from the hell on earth that is Gaza.

Many people, including me, criticized U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry a week ago for seeking a quick Gaza cease-fire that would have strengthened Hamas and its allies, Qatar and Turkey. Hamas didn’t deliver, the fighting resumed, and the process had the effect of undermining moderate Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. Kerry was widely attacked, especially in Israel.

Kerry isn’t the problem today, however.

Over the past week, he has been crafting a cease-fire plan that seeks to stabilize Gaza under the leadership of Abbas and the moderate Palestinian Authority. After an initial truce, negotiators would gather in Egypt for talks about Gaza’s future. Abbas would select the members of the Palestinian delegation, and the PA (with the support of the international community) would have overall responsibility for the rehabilitation of Gaza.

The Palestinian delegation is already in Cairo, waiting to begin.

It’s headed

by Azzam DAVID IGNATIUS al-Ahmed, a leader of Abbas’ Fatah movement and the person who brokered the reconciliation agreement last April between Fatah and Hamas.

Israel wants quiet in Gaza, but it seems undecided whether it wants to negotiate a broader peace agreement. The Israelis agreed to a cease-fire Monday, and there were reports that the country agreed to an additional 72-hour truce. But the Cabinet reportedly decided over the weekend against joining the Cairo talks. Hopefully, Netanyahu will seek a broader deal that might reduce the likelihood of future conflict.

The thrust of Kerry’s new plan is to leverage Hamas’ unity pact with Fatah and its pledge to transfer authority in Gaza to the PA. As a first step, the PA and its U.S.-trained security service would assume responsibility for policing the Rafah crossing from Gaza into Egypt, as well as the passages into Israel. That’s a big deal, as it would give Abbas’ security chief, Majid Faraj, control over the most strategic ground in Gaza.

The PA would begin paying the salaries of Palestinian civil servants in Gaza, assuming the details could be worked out.

The agreement might also move toward disarmament of all terrorist groups in Gaza by building on a promise Hamas made in a 2011 unity plan that the PA’s security service would be the only armed force in Gaza. This would also uphold Abbas’ own insistence on “one government, one law, one gun.”

In all these ways, Kerry is now headed in the right direction — away from strengthening Hamas and toward empowering the moderates on whom hopes for a more stable and secure Gaza depend.

The question is whether Netanyahu has the courage and political clout to move in the same direction, toward a new framework for Gaza, rather than return to the battered status quo ante — with continued Hamas rule and the recurring wars that some Israelis have described as “mowing the lawn.”

It will be hard for the Israeli leader to embrace this vision for Gaza, because he would have to reverse his opposition to the Fatah-Hamas reconciliation agreement, which he denounced as an embrace by Abbas of Hamas’ terrorist ideology. Netanyahu would have to be prepared to truly open Gaza to the free flow of people and goods, in return for disarming the terrorist groups.

Netanyahu faces a real leadership dilemma. He has prevailed over Hamas and its tunnels in Gaza, albeit at a terrible cost to Palestinian civilians. But his popularity at home is dropping, with his approval ratings down 20 points from their peak of 82 percent when he ordered the ground invasion.

Though Netanyahu may not realize it, he needs Kerry’s diplomatic help to consolidate the gains of the war. The question is whether the Israeli leader has the boldness to leverage his military success in a way that brings greater lasting security for Israelis, and reduces the Palestinian suffering in Gaza.

Israel’s refusal to attend the peace talks in Cairo would mean returning to the status quo ante and waiting for the next round of fighting. It would be a mistake. Netanyahu could open new opportunities by treating Abbas as a real partner — starting by helping him to gain control of Gaza. Netanyahu can go down in history as the statesman who achieved greater security for Israelis as well as a measure of dignity for Arabs.

History shows us that in the aftermath of Arab-Israeli wars, there are rare opportunities for diplomacy. Kerry, stung by the criticism that his peacemaking was helping Hamas a week ago, appears ready for such a creative moment now. Is Netanyahu?

ROTC From Page A1

With a house full of girls, though, there’s still plenty of room for being boisterous.

The girls were on a military-style drill team for nearly a decade before high school. In drill, they learned to twirl wooden rifles.

When Nikki, the oldest, got to high school she had to decide between drill and ROTC. Grandma suggested ROTC. Nikki found that she liked Color Guard, marching in a group.

“The other two just kind of followed right along,” Peggy Durr said.

Together, the three girls have gone on ROTC field trips and traveled to competitions, plus practices — several times a week, before and after school.

ROTC is where they’ve made most of their friends.

The girls perform at military remembrance events, community fundraisers, festivals, marathons, senior centers and the like.

“Half of our life is pretty much ROTC,” said Nikki, 17.

Some events, such as Memorial Day, are somber. At other ceremonies, though, sometimes it’s

hard to keep a straight face, the girls said. Little kids will act goofy around the ROTC students in uniform, trying to get them to laugh.

Sammy Durr, 16, Frenchbraids the other girls’ hair before events. She likes doing hair and nails, and she is thinking about becoming a cosmetologist.

The other girls say they’ve waited patiently for Sammy to get better at the braids: tight enough to stay in place but not so tight it pulls the hair out.

At 15, Christina Durr is the reader, the 4.0 student.

She once called her grandmother from school: She needed a ride, because she’d gleaned a box of books that were being given away. She has 200 titles on her Kindle this summer.

Christina is considering going to culinary school after graduation. She’d like to learn how to make fancy cakes.

Her grandmother calls Christina “the brains.”

“Does that make Sammy and I the brawns?” Nikki asks, laughing.

Nikki is the leader. Her first two years in ROTC, she logged more than 280 community service hours.

Sammy is at 134 hours.

Nikki wants to teach elementary school math and sign language. She likes working with underdogs.

The plan is to continue her studies at Everett

been able to reach Watson to collect a statement.

Watson has not responded to six phone calls and two voicemails from a deputy, according to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office.

The couple making the accusations, Dino Palmisano, 56, and his wife, Julia Recupero, 54, started calling the Everett Fire Department and the mayor’s office when their communication with Watson faltered after the sale, Recupero said.

The couple live in a retirement community in Delray Beach, Florida, between Miami and Palm Beach.

Recupero had posted an advertisement on a free classified website for their 21-foot 1985 Ford motorhome. It had 53,000 miles.

The price was “$6,000 or best offer.”

Before putting the RV up for sale, the couple had it checked over by a mechanic, Recupero said.

“We have never had a problem with the RV and even if you looked underneath where it was stored, nothing drips, we have no oil leaks, we’ve never had a problem with it,” she said.

After posting the ad, the couple got a call from Watson, who identified himself as a Seattle-area firefighter who was visiting family in Florida, Recupero said.

Watson bought the RV without taking it for a testdrive or to a mechanic for inspection. Watson told them he and his family were low on cash and the family was cramped vacationing in a rental car, she said.

He offered them $4,500, and they agreed to the price.

Watson reportedly gave them about $3,400 in cash and money orders, and made a PayPal payment of $1,100.

The couple signed over the title, and the Watsons drove away. That was July 27.

PayPal often takes a couple of days to process a transaction, Recupero said.

After a few days, though, the $1,100 the couple was owed was still on hold.

Recupero called PayPal and was told her payment had been deemed an unauthorized transaction. PayPal told her that Watson called the company and said his account had been hacked, and the $1,100 charge was bogus, she said.

Watson and the couple

Community College.

“It keeps me close to home so I can live with Grandma still,” she said.

“Grandma already said I could.”

The Durrs adopted Sammy and Christina about 18 months ago. Nikki spends plenty of time with her cousins at the Durr house.

The girls all are fourthgeneration Everett High School students.

They have a deal: Grandma keeps the house clean, and the girls finish school. Graduation comes before everything, even ROTC, Peggy Durr said, though the girls are expected to keep their rooms tidy.

“Grandma says they’re not chores, they’re us helping her out,” Sammy said.

At school, each girl has earned the monthly department scholar awards for the ROTC program.

Nikki is a ROTC cadet ensign and training officer.

She trains the newbies.

She gets jittery before performing.

Sammy is a cadet chief petty officer and honor platoon commander.

Christina is a cadet petty officer second-class, the integrity platoon chief and assistant community service officer.

Christina isn’t as fond of the marching. She likes working logistics at events

spoke on the phone and exchanged text messages.

Watson told them the RV broke down and needed expensive repairs, Recupero said.

The couple say they made the sale in good faith and are owed the amount they were promised.

They sent documents from the sale to the city of Everett over the weekend.

Copies also were taken by police in Florida.

Watson is scheduled to return from vacation next week, Everett city spokeswoman Meghan Pembroke said.

“We are compiling the alleged information from the Florida couple and will review with Watson on his return,” she said.

In the McCrossen case, Watson reportedly bought antiques from someone selling the wares out of a pickup parked in the same block as the burned-out building. Police and prosecutors had difficulty in that case because some of the folks who had accused Watson were themselves involved in trespassing and other potentially illegal behavior at the fire site.

There also was a demolition contract and landlord-tenant disputes that made for cloudy ownership of salvaged items.

A fatal fire gutted the historic McCrossen Building at 1814 Hewitt Ave. in November 2012. The building has since been demolished.

mistreatment of her other daughter.

U.S. District Court Judge James Robart called it one of the worst crimes he has seen, characterizing the murder and mistreatment as “nauseating.”

Carlson, 38, showed little emotion on Monday. Her attorney explained that the Tulalip woman had suffered a panic attack before the judge took the bench and was “having a hard time.”

“I’d like to say I’m sorry to my family,” Carlson said.

“I know I did wrong. I made poor choices and I’m dealing with that every day.”

Carlson’s mother and uncle sat in the front row of the courtroom.

She faced up to 30 years in prison after pleading guilty in April to second-degree murder and first-degree criminal mistreatment. No one on Monday advocated for a maximum prison sentence.

Instead, Carlson’s background, including the abuse and neglect she suffered as a child that left her with cognitive impairments, were raised as reasons to show her leniency.

No one, however, disputed the heart-wrenching nature of the crimes against two young girls.

Carlson was indifferent to her children’s’ suffering, the federal prosecutor said. Her priority that day was trying to score methadone to ease her heroin withdrawal symptoms. She chose her own needs over those of her children, London said.

It is hard to fathom how a mother could subject her children to such horrific conditions, he said. Her conduct was even more egregious because there was help for Carlson and she was actively avoiding intervention.

“Life-saving help was only a phone call away,” London said.

The Tulalip Tribes through its child welfare services program, beda?chelh, had been looking for Carlson and her daughters for months, the judge was told. State social workers also had an active investigation into the family until just hours before Chantel died.

Carlson’s mother had called Child Protective Services in December 2011 with concerns that

girls in ROTC also have been on the high school bowling team.

This coming school year, Nikki will be a senior, Sammy a junior and Christina a sophomore.

Wednesday is the school day each week when Everett’s ROTC students wear uniforms to class.

The three girls shine their shoes together, and iron and crease their shirts and slacks.

“All of their little ribbons have to be exact,” Peggy Durr said.

Nikki will don her uniform for her senior portrait.

Grandpa, Dennis Durr, retired from the Army about 15 years ago.

He has been able to participate in each girl’s Basic Leadership Training ceremony when they get their first rank in ROTC. One day, Nikki was called out at practice for her perfectly shiny shoes.

The folks in charge thought she was having Grandpa do her shining.

It was her own work, though. Nikki was proud of that recognition. Grandpa taught her well.

Rikki King: 425-339-3449; rking@heraldnet.com.

Carlson was neglecting her children.

Tribal and state social workers had difficulties finding Carlson but eventually visited the children.

The social workers didn’t see any evidence then that the girls were in imminent danger, which would have been necessary to remove them. There also were no signs of abuse or neglect.

The social workers agreed to continue to try to assist the family.

About two weeks after the first visit, the tribal social worker learned that the parents weren’t seeking help for their alcohol and drug abuse problems, as they claimed they were.

Relatives told social workers that Carlson was hiding out.

“The tribe’s intervention would have, most likely, saved (Chantel’s) life.

Unfortunately, the defendant knew that beda?chelh was looking for her and her daughters, and would provide for their care, but she actively avoided contact with tribal authorities,” London wrote.

Her four older children already had been removed from her care and she was aware that the Tribes provided a “safety net” for families who needed assistance, he said.

“She knew where to turn for help,” London said.

Her client did need services, federal public defender Paula Deutsch said.

“She wasn’t able to do it on her own,” Deutsch said.

Her client did better when she had support from relatives or friends. A friend had been living with the mother and children in the car but left about four days before Chantel died.

Carlson “really fell apart,” after he left, Deutsch said.

The defense attorney urged the judge to sentence Carlson to eight years in federal prison.

She said that she, too, had a “visceral reaction” to the details of the case.

“It took a long time understand what happened here,” Deutsch said.

She and her investigators spoke with Carlson’s relatives and reviewed medical records and also records from the state Department of Social and Health Services. The defense also hired a neuropsychologist and an expert on Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Disorder.

The interviews and records painted a picture of a woman who had suffered from abuse and neglect, beginning when

she was a child.

Deutsch said they learned that Carlson’s mother drank alcohol while pregnant with her daughter. The exposure likely caused cognitive impairment that resulted in Carlson lacking judgement and impulse control, according to experts.

Carlson likely couldn’t accurately predict the consequences of neglect, Deutsch said. Additionally because she was neglected as a child she may have viewed that as “normal parenting,” the public defender said.

Carlson’s drug use exacerbated her existing mental impairments, she said.

The lawyers and Robart appeared to rely on two mental health evaluations to determine if there were mitigating circumstances in considering a just and sufficient sentence. Those evaluations were kept private, under seal in the court file.

“She had a rotten childhood caused by the conduct of her parents and family,” Robart said.

She suffers from some mental and physical conditions but “they do not offer an excuse for the conduct here. They are mitigating factors,” the judge said.

Robart said he was struck by how much attention the lawyers had given Carlson’s difficulties in life. Little had been said about her daughters.

“The victims are two small girls,” the judge said.

Robart pointed out that in her plea agreement the defendant acknowledged that she killed her daughter with malice aforethought and acted with extreme disregard for human life.

The notion that Carlson was not as aware as she could have been about the welfare of her children “does not resonate with this court,” Robart said.

“She had other children taken away from her. She knew she needed to care for her children and she made a decision not to.”

The defendant also was aware that tribal welfare workers were looking for her and her daughters.

“She actively sought to avoid contact,” he said.

It is apparent that there is a cycle of alcohol and substance abuse and neglect, the judge said. “That cycle has been lived out by this defendant. That is not acceptable and that cycle must be broken.”

A gathering of new moms Support groups help them make big adjustment to life with baby

By Gale Fiege Herald Writer

People with infants face many challenges, including some that involve their own perceptions of what society expects of parents.

All the basics in dealing with a new human — what they eat, where they sleep, when they poop — are filtered through a slew of publications and blogs, grandmas who often feel strongly about either breastfeeding or bottle-feeding, friends who either use cloth diapers or disposables and pediatricians who have differing opinions about circumcision and whether or not a baby is “tongue-tied.”

Enter the nonprofit group Program for Early Parent Support, or PEPS. The program brings people together during the critical first year of parenting, when feelings of isolation and inadequacy can be just as strong as the joy of welcoming a new baby.

“The first time I went to my PEPS newborn support group, I was terrified and worried that the other moms might judge me,” said Ashley LaFreniere, who is married. “I had my mother come over that morning so I could shower, put on makeup and do my hair. When I got to the meeting, my baby, Finn, was the only one still strapped to his car seat. I felt like the biggest rookie there.”

PEPSapalooza A family music festival benefit for the Program for Early Parent Support is set for 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Aug. 16 at Everett Memorial Stadium. The headliners include Caspar Babypants, the Not-Its!, Rolie Polie Guacamole and Wo’Pop DJ Dance Party.

Activities, crafts, games, food, hairdos and temporary tattoos are planned as part of the Experience Everett Arts Festival.

Tickets are $35 for a family and parking is free. Proceeds from the fundraiser benefit a scholarship fund that assists some parents with membership dues. For more information, visit www.peps.org story of her baby’s birth and they had begun to get to know each other.

LaFreniere found a community of moms who encouraged each other and offer solutions to everyday problems, she said.

Conversation topics included

those basics — feeding, sleeping, pooping — along with child development, balancing work and baby needs, marriage, finances, coping with stress, creating family traditions and taking care of oneself.

“PEPS was a great experience for me,” LaFreniere said. “I can’t say enough good about the program.”

Started in 1983 in Seattle, the parent support program now has a following in Snohomish County. LaFreniere, 31, of Shoreline, was in a group of moms from Everett, Lynnwood and Edmonds.

PEPS spokeswoman Dana Guy said the program is about connecting parents, strengthening families and increasing wellness. PEPS offers dads-only meetings and evening support groups for couples, too.

During the past two years, the organization launched 28 Snohomish County groups during the past two years, including those for parents of newborns and for parents of babies approaching their first birthdays. It plans to offer a newborn group in Mukilteo in September, Guy said.

LaFreniere’s group was facilitated by PEPS veteran Jen Winckler, 41, of Brier.

Winckler joined when her 9-year-old son was 2 months old.

“Going to PEPS was the highlight of my week,” Winckler said. “It was the first time I had to get out of the house. It was

good knowing that other people were feeling fragile, too. And my group stuck together for years after our 12-week support group, with play dates at the park and gatherings at each other’s homes.”

After her second son, now 7, was in first grade, Winckler became a volunteer leader.

“It’s so rewarding to facilitate a group. I hope we can expand more into central and north Snohomish County,” Winckler said. “We’d like to see a Mill Creek PEPS group soon.”

As a group leader, Winckler works to make sure the participants form a bond.

“I am there to encourage the young moms, too, though I am no expert and don’t pretend to give lessons or directions,” she said. “But obviously I survived that first year of parenting.

Sometimes all they need to know is that parents don’t have to be perfect and that their children eventually will sleep through the night.”

LaFreniere admits that PEPS might not be for every mom and it’s what a parent makes of it.

“It was great for me and I find myself going up to pregnant women in the store and telling them to find out about the support group,” LaFreniere said. “It’s nice to get people together with a common concern, and that’s our babies.”

ON NUTRITION | Barbara Quinn

Enjoy the surprising perks of coffee consumption

W

hen I emailed a family member that I was at the annual convention of the Hawaii Coffee Association, he replied, “A dietitian and nutritionist at a coffee convention?

Just curious.”

Me, too. But, hey, where else do you get coffee breaks that feature 100 percent Kona coffee?

And speakers in Hawaiian shirts?

I was ready and alert to learn.

Besides the fact that much of the world does not function in the morning without it, does coffee contain any redeeming nutritional value?

Why, yes, it does. A recent

study at John Hopkins University found that 200 milligrams of caffeine (what we might get in 8 to 12 ounces of brewed coffee) enhanced the ability of study participants to remember details.

But coffee is more than just a vehicle for caffeine, say researchers at Harvard University. It contains hundreds of different compounds, including antioxidant substances known to protect cells in the body from destruction. Coffee also contains the minerals magnesium and chromium which the body uses with the hormone insulin to regulate blood sugar levels. Recent

studies have, in fact, found an association between higher coffee intake and a lower risk for type 2 diabetes.

Not everyone should be downing a carafe of coffee every morning however. Pregnant women are advised to limit coffee intake to no more than 1 or 2 cups a day since caffeine crosses the placenta to the baby. And people with high blood pressure need to monitor the effect of caffeine on their condition.

“If you’re drinking so much coffee that you get tremors, have sleeping problems or feel stressed and uncomfortable,” say

experts at Harvard, “then obviously you’re drinking too much coffee.”

Store your precious coffee in airtight containers away from direct light and heat, advises Peggy, our enthusiastic tour guide at Greenwell Farms.

“Never put coffee in the refrigerator!” (Moisture causes coffee to deteriorate.)

Only buy what you will use within a week or two. Coffee beans (and especially ground coffee) lose quality and flavor if stored too long. And by the way, “If it’s good coffee, you shouldn’t need cream or sugar.”

spirin has been widely used as an over-thecounter medication for many years. It reduces pain, fever and inflammation and helps treat some forms of heart disease, stroke, arthritis and headache. Scientists have found that aspirin works by blocking the body’s production of prostaglandins — substances that create inflammation and make blood platelets sticky.

Relief of fever and pain has been the primary use of aspirin over the last 100 years.

Besides these tried and true actions, other uses of aspirin include the following health conditions.

Heart disease. Research shows the drug prevents platelets from sticking together and forming clots.

Aspirin is often used to prevent heart attacks in people with heart disease or other factors that raise heart attack risk. It also may be given to patients with suspected heart attacks by emergency personnel.

Stroke. People who have suffered a transient ischemic attack, also called a “mini stroke,” or an ischemic stroke are sometimes advised to take aspirin — either immediately, or long-term to prevent a recurrence. But it’s not recommended if there is any bleeding in the brain.

Artery disease. Aspirin may prevent clots from forming in small arteries.

Colon cancer. Early evidence suggests aspirin may help prevent the formation of colon polyps and colon cancer.

Inflammation and pain.

Aspirin is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug like ibuprofen and naproxen. The drug relieves pain and swelling associated with arthritis, sprains, strains and other injuries.

Fever. It reduces fever associated with upper respiratory infections, and is often combined with other drugs in cough and cold medications.

Before taking aspirin, talk to your provider about the benefits and risks. You may need to avoid the drug if you have an aspirin allergy, stomach ulcers or a bleeding disorder; are taking a blood thinner; or are pregnant. Children and teens with viral infections should not take aspirin due to the risk of Reye’s syndrome.

Salad boosts health Enjoying one or more servings of salad a day can help you obtain more of the healthful nutrients you need.

A study of 18,000 men and women found that eating salads and raw vegetables correlates with higher blood concentrations of vitamins C, E, B6, folic acid, and the cancer-fighting nutrients lycopene and carotene. Each salad serving increases the likelihood of consuming recommended amounts of vitamin C by 165 percent in women, or by 119 percent in men.

Jilted pal’s man-bashing gets old

DAILY CROSSWORD

Adapted from a recent online discussion.

Dear Carolyn: A friend divorced her husband three years ago. He was verbally abusive and had an affair. Since then, she bashes her husband and men in general, bashes men on Facebook, writes stuff for women to group together and stand up to men, etc.

This is making me really uncomfortable. How do I tell her to ease off on her opinions, without ignoring her feelings of what she went through? Not all men are that way.

— Uncomfortable It’s not your place to tell her to ease off on her opinions. They’re hers and she’s entitled to them.

You, meanwhile, are entitled to yours: “Your ex deserves every bit of your anger, but he’s just one man. I expect that if a man publicly bashed all women out of disgust for his ex-wife, you’d be outraged by that.”

I realize this is just another version of “just talk to her about it.”

I also realize that someone who has gone scorched-earth against all men is going to receive your message badly — but I believe delivering it in defense of the entire gender she’s maligning, with care to validate her feelings about her ex-husband, is the only right thing to do.

CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT Dear Carolyn: My boyfriend really wants to meet my parents. He was divorced a few years ago, and his exmother-in-law apparently did a lot to make his marriage difficult.

He says he can’t be serious with me unless he meets my parents.

I bring a boyfriend home only if I am serious about him.

He basically admitted if he didn’t like my parents, he would probably leave me.

My parents are lovely people, but a bit elitist, and my boyfriend would not measure up to their standards, which are very different from my own. It would be a tough, judgmental meeting. I feel like we’re not strong enough to take this step right now. Is there a compromise?

— Anonymous Maybe, but I’m struggling with a bias toward just throwing them all

Your parents are either going to be an obstacle to your relationship, or not. Even choreographing things just so would only delay the inevitable.

I’m also not thrilled with his either-I-like-your-parents-or-I’mgone attitude. It’s just another manifestation of judging all based on X because one person did X to you (see above). Life just is not that simple, and anyone who sees it as such is, through my X-colored glasses, suspect.

Even if we came up with the perfect compromise here, it would still fail on the most important measure: It’s not emerging from your and his desire to work with each other to ensure you both get what you need. That’s what gets couples through everything — including nasty or elitist in-laws — but right now each of you is focused instead on your own interests, at the exclusion of the other’s.

What strained his ex-marriage, after all? It wasn’t his mother-inlaw; it was his and his ex’s inability/ unwillingness to work together to neutralize said mother-in-law.

Besides — by operating as if other women are as controlled by their parents as his ex was, hasn’t he unwittingly revealed that his baggage is controlling him?

Be careful naming baby THE NEW YORK TIMES CROSSWORD PUZZLE after deceased relative 39 Encouragement from

ACROSS

1 Dead as a doornail 6 Listings in a daily

Dear Abby: What is the protocol for naming a baby after a deceased person?

If the name you want to use is a deceased family member’s name, do we ask his next of kin for approval?

Do we say nothing? Is it assumed that people who wish to use someone’s name when naming their child should seek permission (whether the person is living or dead)?

Obviously, some people will use the name regardless of being granted a blessing or not, but I’m wondering what is appropriate in this situation.

— Pregnant In Illinois Dear Pregnant: In the Jewish faith, it is traditional for a baby to be named for a deceased parent or grandparent — or at least given a name with the same first initial. However, if the person who died was a child of a close relative, I can see how that could be very painful for the parents who lost their child.

The appropriate thing to do would be to first have a conversation with the surviving family member(s) to be sure it will be considered the honor it is intended to be and not open fresh wounds. If it would cause pain, perhaps the expectant parents should consider making the name of the deceased their baby’s middle name instead of first name.

Dear Abby: During my teens, I was diagnosed with depression and institutionalized following a suicide attempt. Depression is something I live with daily.

Unfortunately, my parents and siblings have a “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy when it comes to anything that may stir up emotions. I feel that it’s detrimental to my well-being.

My doctor has suggested RIP HAYWIRE

11 15 16 17 18

DEAR ABBY cutting my family out of my life. Dealing with them gives me great anxiety.

My mother is a master manipulator who denies my suicide attempt ever happened, and I’m afraid she will tell my extended family members (many of whom I have relationships with) that I have “abandoned the family.”

No one outside my immediate family knows about my depression or suicide attempt, and I feel I may be forced to reveal that very private part of my life in order to defend my actions. I don’t know what to do. — Reluctant To Reveal Dear Reluctant To Reveal: I think you should follow your doctor’s advice and not be intimidated. You have an illness — depression — that, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is shared by about 9 percent of our population. It is nothing to be ashamed of.

Because you’re afraid of what your mother will say, explain to those relatives you feel close to what you need to do and the reasons for it. I can’t guarantee that some of them won’t take sides, but I’m sure not all of them will. Sadly, not all families are functional.

Not all parents are good parents, and some of them are toxic. www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Nickelodeon to air ‘School of Rock’

San Francisco in 1940s setting for detective novel

By Yvonne Villarreal Los Angeles Times

As if Nickelodeon wasn’t already a school of rock with its many teen stars turned pop stars, the network announced it has given a straight-to-series order to a small-screen adaptation of the 2003 film “School of Rock.”

The network is teaming up with Paramount Television, the smallscreen arm of Paramount Pictures (the studio that produced the film), to produce the series.

It marks Paramount Television’s first dip into children’s programming.

As with the film, the show will follow the madcap adventures of a rocker-turned-substitute teacher Dewey Finn at a

prestigious prep school.

The film starred Jack Black in the lead role and featured Miranda Cosgrove as one of his pipsqueak pupils before she went on to star on Nickelodeon in “iCarly.” “ ‘School of Rock’ is one of those great movies that always felt quintessentially Nickelodeon in its tone and humor, and we jumped at the opportunity to partner with Paramount Television and bring it to life as a TV series,” Russell Hicks, president of content and development at Nickelodeon said in a statement. “Once again, kids will be able to laugh and rock!”

The network has ordered 13 episodes of the series.

By Oline H. Cogdill “City of Ghosts” (Minotaur), by Kelli Stanley A love of San Francisco — its flaws, strengths and eccentricities — permeates Kelli Stanley’s intriguing novels about private detective Miranda Corbie.

Stanley’s novels capture San Francisco in the years just before World War II. War has been on Miranda’s mind since she was a nurse in the Spanish Civil War. In “City of Ghosts,” set during 1940, Miranda cautiously watches what’s happening in London, especially when it appears that her long-lost mother may be living in England.

The private detective has little hope that she could bring her mother back to the United States until James MacLeod, an agent with the State Department, enlists her help.

PEOPLE

Kim Kardashian game makes beaucoup bucks Whoever thinks life is fair never heard of Kim Kardashian.

We’re not even talking all the free publicity she gets like Yahoo! making her a lead story because — gasp! — she’s been married 73 days, one day more than her last marriage!

We’re talking major booty, as in cash, moolah, pirate treasure.

The fake celebrity/reality TV star is raking it in with a mobile game one reviewer said kills brain

of a wealthy client and an acquaintance.

Stanley keeps the novel on a brisk course as Miranda confronts her own city of ghosts, including a dysfunctional childhood, her stint as a prostitute for one of San Francisco’s top madams and the people whose deaths still haunt her. Fiercely independent during a time when that wasn’t in fashion, Miranda continues to be a true survivor.

Stanley’s affection for San Francisco establishes a strong sense of place and time in “City of Ghosts.” It is, Miranda muses, “A city made by dreamers who died paupers and paupers who lived like kings, dreams keeping them alive in the only way that mattered.”

The author’s clear-eyed view of San Francisco and of Miranda’s character adds to the strength of the novel’s engrossing historical fiction.

Associated Press

He wants her to investigate Huntington Jasper, a chemistry professor suspected of being a spy for the Nazis. The U.S. won’t acknowledge Miranda’s assignment if she’s caught, but the job comes with a ticket to England.

Miranda’s case leads her to dealers specializing in artworks stolen by the Nazis from their Jewish owners. Complications arise when Miranda is implicated in a series of murders, including that

HOROSCOPE Happy Birthday: You are up for some interesting surprises. Embrace change and adventure. Size up what is and what isn’t working for you and get rid of whatever is holding you back. Make domestic changes that will ease your stress. Cut corners or make your surroundings more comfortable and user-friendly. Your numbers are 9, 16, 21, 29, 32, 36, 44.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You will come to verbal decisions when dealing with friends, relatives or colleagues. Voice your opinion, but remember to listen to what others have to say as well and you will make a good impression. ����� TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You may want to control a situation, but if you force your ideas on someone, you’ll end up in a stalemate. Patience will bring far better results. ��� GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Express what it is you want and you will find out exactly where you stand. Keep business and personal matters separate to avoid someone meddling in your affairs. ��� CANCER (June 21-July 22): Get involved in a project that teaches you something unusual or allows you to work with someone from a different background. Spending time on personal grooming or learning new skills will help you advance professionally. ����� LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Take care of the little things that you’ve been promising others you would complete to avoid someone complaining or criticizing. Make alterations based on what you feel will help you move forward. ��

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Work quietly behind the scenes. If you can avoid drawing attention to your plans, you will get more done with less interference. Don’t let an emotional matter get blown out of proportion. �� LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Get out and about. Take care of situations that will make a difference to someone in need or to a cause you believe in. The people you meet while helping others will bring about positive change. ���� SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): It will be futile trying to hide your true feelings. Get things out in the open and make decisions.

Changes at home that are out of the ordinary will turn out to be beneficial. ��� SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Emotions will fluctuate. Gravitate toward moneymaking ventures that will bring about positive changes to the way or where you live. Emotional disillusionment is apparent. ��� CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Proceed with caution. Participating in community events can lead to problems if you let impulses get the better of you. Don’t be too quick to agree with someone. ��� AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Consider your motives and what you want before putting the blame on someone. Pick your friends wisely. Someone you know well will disappoint you. Tension will mount if honesty is questioned. ���� PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): An opportunity to do something that will make you feel good or improve your appearance should be taken. Networking will get you back on track and keep you moving toward a more prosperous future. �� Universal Uclick

Seahawks Seattle has questions to answer on offensive line, C5

TUESDAY, 08.05.2014

Pacific advances to regional semis Unbeaten Little League team beats Idaho 5-2 at Northwest Regionals Herald Staff SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. — After erasing early deficits in its first two games, the Pacific Little League team decided to try something new Monday night.

The Pacific All-Stars jumped out to an early lead with two runs in the first inning and held off an Idaho team from Lewiston to win 5-2 and remain unbeaten at the Northwest Little League World Series Regional at Al Houghton

Stadium in San Bernardino, Calif.

The victory guaranteed the team from Washington a berth in the regional semifinals on Thursday.

“It was nice (to get the early lead),” said Pacific manager

Robley Corsi, Jr. “We haven’t been able to do that this whole tournament. It was nice to get out there and get things going.”

In their third game at the regional tournament Pacific, which features players from

Lynnwood, Edmonds and unincorporated Snohomish County, led the whole way. Starting pitcher Tyler Durbin helped himself out with a two-run single in the top of the first inning. The Pacific All-Stars added one run in the third, on an RBI single by See PACIFIC, Page C4

Dreams do come true

18-year-old Thorsten Askervold of Lake Stevens won two national championships in July in the USA Cycling Juniors Track Nationals to qualify for this month’s 2014 Juniors Track World Championships in Seoul, South Korea.

AKE STEVENS — As he prepared for the 2014 USA Cycling Juniors Track Nationals in Carson, Calif., late last month, Thorsten Askervold of Lake Stevens was unsure what to expect.

The 18-year-old Askervold, a 2014 graduate of Snohomish High School, had been doing well in races in the Puget Sound area.

But as his father, Jim Askervold, explained, “Because he races

locally, he didn’t know who the competition was (at nationals) or what it was going to be like. ... So we went in with zero expectations.”

As it turned out, Thorsten Askervold was in for a very good surprise. Competing against other riders in the 17-18 age group, he finished first in international omnium, which is a multievent competition similar to the decathlon in track and field, and in a scratch race, where several riders start together and race for many laps to the finish line.

Two national championships was great, but there was also even better news. By winning twice, Askervold qualified in both events for the 2014 Juniors Track World Championships, that begin their five-day run Friday in Seoul, South Korea. For the first time in his young racing career, he will represent the United States in an international competition.

“I’m still having a ‘Wow’ moment,” Askervold said with a See ASKERVOLD, Page C4

Pac-12’s next two-way star?

Huskies’ linebacker Thompson could see playing time at running back

SEATTLE — Shaq Thompson knows the question is coming.

It’s asked any time his role with Washington is discussed.

So before the debate about whether Thompson is about to become the next two-way player in the Pac-12 Conference, he shoots down any notion that splitting between being a linebacker and running back would

be a full-time deal.

“It’s not really a big deal to me.

I came here to play linebacker so that’s what I’m going to do,” Thompson said. “Until he calls my name and wants me to play offense, I’m a defensive player.”

Thompson could be the best all-around player on the roster head coach Chris Petersen inherited when he took over at Washington. So it made sense that when the Huskies’ depth at running back took a hit because

of injuries during spring practice that Thompson was given a shot at occasionally getting carries.

Besides, who would really want to tackle a 6-foot-1, 228-pound load running at full speed?

“I have my day where I hope I get a couple of reps here and there,” Thompson said. “But I’m a full-time linebacker.”

Thompson could be one of the top linebackers in the Pac-12.

UW, Zags to renew hoops rivalry Huskies, Bulldogs haven’t met since 2006, agree to play one another again beginning in the 2016-17 season.

By Christian Caple The News Tribune

SEATTLE — Finally, the Washington Huskies will meet on the basketball court again with the Gonzaga Bulldogs.

Beginning with the 2016-17 season, UW and Gonzaga will renew a series that has laid dormant since Dec. 9, 2006, the last time the in-state rivals played against each other.

Roughly 10 years will have passed by the time they play again. The new agreement is for four years, with the game site alternating between UW and Gonzaga’s campuses. It hasn’t

yet been determined which school will host the 2016-17 game.

“This series is great for the fans of our state,” Huskies coach Lorenzo Romar said in a statement released by the school.

“The fans have shown that they really appreciate the game with Washington and Gonzaga. I mean, every one of them since we’ve been here has been a sellout, or close to it. There’s a lot of enthusiasm and hype centered around the game when these two teams meet.”

Roamr said in recent interviews that he didn’t think it would be long before

Washington and Gonzaga worked out a new agreement to play each other, and he has made frequent reference to how often fans ask him about the possibility of renewing the series. It was the Huskies who cancelled the series following the 2006-07 season, after the teams had met in each season since 1997-98.

Washington leads the all-time series 29-14, though Gonzaga has won eight of the last nine meetings between the schools.

Tension between Romar and Gonzaga coach Mark Few surfaced in 2003 after Few reportedly notified the NCAA of minor violations committed by then-UW assistant Cameron Dollar during the recruitment of Clarkston prospect Josh Heytvelt, who eventually signed with

Gonzaga.

Both coaches have more or less avoided public discussion of the specifics surrounding the cancellation of the series, most often citing scheduling conflicts as the primary deterrent.

In 2009 UW proposed a threeyear series between the teams to be played at Key Arena from 2011-13, though Few scoffed at that suggestion by famously remarking that the chances of that happening were “about the same as Bigfoot having my baby.”

In a statement released on Monday by Gonzaga, Few said: “We always knew we would resume the series. But our schedules have been full the last few years. We have an opportunity in 2016-17 and both teams were agreeable to playing.”

Shaq From Page C1

Some publications have already listed Thompson as a potential All-America candidate. He was an honorable mention AllPac-12 selection as a sophomore when he had 78 tackles and returned an interception 80 yards for a touchdown against Oregon State.

Washington linebackers coach Bob Gregory had known about Thompson long before either arrived in Seattle. Gregory coached Thompson’s brother, Syd’Quan, at California.

“He’s really got great dimensions for a linebacker. ... He’s got good range, he can cover ground quickly from Point A to Point B. He’s got good football instincts.

He’s a natural football player,” Gregory said.

When word first trickled out about Thompson getting time at running back, the comparison was instantly made to UCLA’s Myles Jack. Last season, Jack bounced between linebacker and running back late in the season, including rushing for 120 yards against Arizona and a week later scoring four touchdowns rushing against Washington.

Gregory doesn’t see a problem with giving Thompson time in the backfield.

“If that makes our team better, then I’m all for it,” he said. “He’s a naturally gifted athlete who can play running back.”

Moving players around was a hallmark of Petersen’s teams at Boise State. It wasn’t done often, but defensive ends would occasionally get snaps at tight end, or defensive tackles would line up at fullback in short-yardage situations.

Thompson wasn’t isolated in being moved around during the spring. Wide receiver John Ross also saw time at defensive back during the spring, again in part because of injuries.

“I like doing that. We’ve done that with tight ends and (defensive) ends and moved them around in short-yardage goal line packages,” Petersen said. “I think it’s really fun for those guys and they really lock in and we’ve had success doing that. If somebody can help us in a way, we’ll do that.”

UW fall camp opens to talk of team unity

By Christian Caple The News Tribune

SEATTLE — These proclamations are hallmarks of a coaching change. The Washington Huskies hope they also prove to be true.

You’ve likely heard them before. The strength and conditioning program is much improved. Better than what was here before it. The offseason was much more productive.

Better than any before it.

And, perhaps of most note for the Huskies, there is a public consensus among players that everyone seems much closer.

Defensive ends and offensive tackles speaking to each other.

Friends in uncommon places.

Cats and dogs living together.

And so on.

But for all the Washington Huskies’ talk of their desire to fulfill first-year coach Chris Petersen’s stated goal of unity — and there has been plenty, to be sure — fifth-year senior defensive lineman Andrew Hudson is one of a handful of players who seem to be off to a head start.

It’s one thing for a defensive player to sit with an o-lineman at lunch. But it’s not often that a defensive lineman travels to Tahiti for 10 days with five of his teammates from the offensive line (though senior nose tackle Danny Shelton made the trip, too).

The Tahiti trip was in conjunction with a UW studyabroad program, the same one that Shelton, senior linebacker Hau’oli Kikaha and a few other Huskies players participated in a year ago.

This time around, Hudson joined, along with Shelton and offensive linemen Shane Brostek, James Atoe, Siosifa Tufunga, Micah Hatchie and Cory Fuavai, and they seem to have discovered a latent benefit.

“Just a good time to work together, have fun, (have) a couple workouts. It was a good summer,” Hudson said. “To be back with them now just helps

add on to all the stuff Coach Pete’s been saying about unity, and gave me personally an opportunity to come closer to my teammates.”

The Huskies began fall camp on Monday with two practices — a morning session featuring 57 players, all of them returners with the exception of freshman kicker Tristan Vizcaino, and an afternoon session that consisted of freshmen and other, younger players.

Neither session was particularly remarkable. Third-year sophomore quarterback Cyler Miles, who practiced with the newcomers, threw a pair of interceptions to true freshmen during a 7-on-7 session and appears to be knocking off the rust he accumulated after missing all of spring while suspended.

After the first session, in which the defense fared well by forcing three turnovers, allowing zero touchdowns and mucking up the 11-on-11 periods with a strong pass rush, Hudson and his defensive teammates spoke of the kind of offseason progress they hope results in improvement upon their 9-4 record from 2013.

That effort started in the weight room.

“It was functional football movement,” linebacker John Timu said, asked of the difference between this offseason and last. “Everything pertaining to what we do on the field.

It wasn’t just stuff to make you look good. (It was) stuff that actually pertained to what you do every snap on the field. It was pretty good for us.”

Hudson agreed. And judging by the first-day lineups, the fifth-year senior from Redlands, California, could wind up a valuable member of the defense just a few months after the previous coaching staff had determined that he wouldn’t be returning in 2014.

Hudson worked with the first-team defensive line, as he did for much of spring. The Huskies lost defensive ends

Josh Shirley (transfer) and Marcus Farria (dismissed) during the summer, thinning a group that at one point looked to be one of the deepest on the team.

“He’s the poster-boy for perseverance, sticking with it, having a good attitude, grinding, being tough mentally and just keep battling,” defensive coordinator Pete Kwiatkowski said of Hudson. “There’s a lot of things in life you can’t control. Some of those things he couldn’t control, he just kept plugging away, and it’s worked out for him.”

In a way, Hudson embodies UW’s transition. It’s a new year, with a new coaching staff, with, supposedly, no preconceived ideas about who should play where. (And, he said, he was able to fulfill enough summer school requirements in Tahiti to focus more on his workouts once he returned to campus.)

Asked about the uncertainty of last season, Hudson said: “I’d be lying if I said I didn’t think about it a little bit, just fighting those thoughts ... with last year comes a lot of doubt and everything. My focus right now is take that as a chip and keep moving forward, keep pushing myself.

“It feels in some ways like the first time again, which is kind of good, I think. I got a little butterflies today, I’m not going to lie.

I think that’s just knowing the grind’s going to get harder as we get these next couple of days on. It’s going to get harder and harder. I’m just looking forward to seeing how I do this year.”

Timu talks ‘mistake’ This was Timu’s first meeting with reporters since he served a two-week suspension during spring after being charged with two misdemeanor counts of vehicle prowling, charges that stemmed from the theft and subsequent sale of athletic-department parking passes.

“I regret it, deep within my heart, what I did,” Timu said. “I thought about it. I made a big mistake. Now that I’m over it, I’m ready to just move forward, get that over and be the team leader that those guys want me to be.”

LEWISTON — As the on-field performance of the Washington State football team improves, so does its coaches’ salary. WSU athletic director Bill Moos amended the contract for football coach Mike Leach to raise his annual media compensation from $100,000 per year to $600,000 per year, raising his total guaranteed annual compensation to $2.75 million.

That figure puts Leach only behind Washington’s Chris Petersen and UCLA’s Jim Mora among Pac-12 coaches, with the caveat that Stanford and USC are private schools and do not disclose coaching salaries.

Additionally, Moos allocated another $500,000 into the pool for assistant coaching salaries.

After Monday’s practice Moos said that the pay bump comes from a desire to keep Leach’s compensation near the top of the Pac-12. He also cited efforts

by Washington and USC to hire defensive line coach Joe Salave’a over the offseason as a reason for the pay bump.

Salave’a, who was initially paid $175,00 to coach at WSU, recently signed a personnel action form that will raise his salary to $275,000.

“I still think (Leach is) one of the best coaches in this league and as we change our culture at Washington State we have to compete with those in our conference and around the country to build stability and consistency,” Moos said. “I like to be forward thinking in that regard and proactive. Not that I’m worried about losing Mike but I also don’t want to get complacent and not be on top of the market.”

Media compensation covers appearances on radio and television broadcasts, the use of Leach’s likeness in promotional events and other media appearances.

Schools occasionally raise the media compensation rather than the base salary to avoid paying into the state’s employee pension program, but Washington state’s Public Employee Retirement System has an annual cap of around $250,000 a figure Leach’s base salary easily exceeds.

Defensive line impresses Three veteran down linemen have been making the Cougars’ young offensive line’s life miserable so far in WSU’s fall camp.

Xavier Cooper, Destiny Vaeao and Kalafitoni Pole have made it hard for the offense to get good work in at times.

Wide receivers do not have time to get open before a defender has slapped the quarterback to signify a sack.

Running backs often waste their precious few carries wrapped up behind the line of scrimmage as soon as they have been handed the ball.

“We have a better group, we have more experience so we can kind of tweak our defense better,” Pole said. “The veterans did a good job of helping the young guys transition so they’re a step ahead of where the young guys were last year. I think we did pretty good as a defense and we came out here to play fast.”

Of the five offensive linemen only two were starters last season and they played at different positions. If those five offensive linemen can match the defense’s three then the Cougars could be without weakness on offense.

M’s ready to make postseason push

MARINERS | Update

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

SEATTLE — The initial returns are erratic, but the Seattle Mariners are convinced their recent roster additions will be enough to generate a legitimate postseason push in the closing weeks.

“If we get a guy like Austin Jackson on the bases,” left fielder Dustin Ackley said, “that’s going to be a good thing. You’re probably going to see better pitches because he’s a threat on the bases. It just helps all around.”

It worked that way Saturday in a 6-3 victory at Baltimore, but the Mariners sandwiched that game between losses of 2-1 and 1-0.

“We’re trying to get adjusted,” catcher Mike Zunino said.

“Hopefully, in the next few games, we can start to piece that together.”

The Mariners added outfielders Jackson and Chris Denorfia just prior to the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline.

Those moves came a week after reacquiring first baseman-DH Kendrys Morales in a trade with Minnesota.

The result is a lineup that is far less lefty-reliant — Jackson and Denorfia are right-handed and Morales is a switch-hitter. It also adds a legitimate leadoff hitter in Jackson, and a middle-of-theorder bat in Morales.

“Now, we can mix it up,” second baseman Robinson Cano said. “We’ve got Denorfia, and we all know he’s a gamer. I like him. You have Jackson, who is a righty. Now, we don’t have to have eight lefties in the lineup.

Now, we can have three or four righties because Morales is a switch-hitter. It’s better now.”

Plus all three are veteran hitters after the Mariners spent much of the season’s first four months relying on rookies James Jones, Stefen Romero and Abraham Almonte.

“We still don’t have that big bopper in the middle of the order,” manager Lloyd McClendon said, “but we’ve got a lot of professional hitters. Certainly having Jackson at the top of the order, this guy knows the strike

zone, he’s not going to panic. I think he has a career .345 onbase percentage. He scores runs and gets hits. Kendrys has a nice track record as well. They can do some things. It stretches out your lineup.

“Adding Denorfia, that’s another guy who is a very professional hitter and has a real good track record. He’s not going to panic in big situations. I like our lineup.”

The Mariners made another recent addition by promoting former Everett AquaSox shortstop Chris Taylor from Triple-A Tacoma. He is off to a 9-for-25 start and, if he keeps hitting, could soon push Brad Miller into a reserve role.

“I like what I see,” McClendon said of Taylor. “He plays a pretty good shortstop. He handles

himself at the plate pretty good.

He has great instincts for the game. He’s doing a nice job.

“From what I saw in spring training, I thought he was a player who could handle the bat. I didn’t think he would be overmatched. He hasn’t disappointed.”

The Mariners (57-54) trail Toronto by two games in the race for the American League’s final wild-card spot as they prepare to open a nine-game homestand tonight with the first of two games against Atlanta.

They possess the majors’ best pitching staff, with a 3.05 team ERA, but their offense ranks last in the league at 3.79 runs a game. Their bet going forward is that even a modest improvement in run production could produce big results. And while

the Mariners lack what McClendon terms a “big bopper,” they do possess a legitimate star to anchor their lineup in Cano, who is batting .330 with a .393 on-base percentage despite just eight homers.

“It does add a lot, from that mojo standpoint, to have that star in your lineup,” McClendon said. “Great players make other players better. I think Robinson Cano makes other players better in a lot of different respects.

“I think a lot of it starts with how you put the uniform on.

Whether or not your chest is stuck out a little bit. ... Our guys are at a point now where they believe in what they’re doing.

That takes you a long way.”

How far? We’ll find out over the next eight weeks.

M’s juggle rotation for Nationals recall Cascade games against Blue Jays graduate Souza from AAA

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

SEATTLE — The Seattle Mariners plan to juggle their pitching rotation in order to line up their top three starters — Felix Hernandez, Chris Young and Hisashi Iwakuma — to face the Toronto Blue Jays in next week’s series at Safeco Field.

Entering Monday, the Blue Jays (60-53) led the chase for the American League’s final wild-card spot by 11⁄2 games over Kansas City and the New York Yankees (both 57-53) and by two games over the Mariners (57-54).

The switch means Hernandez and Young will get extra rest after their next starts. It also means the Mariners are listing Sunday’s starter for the series

finale against the Chicago White Sox as “to be announced.”

The Mariners likely will recall a starter from TripleA Tacoma to start Sunday.

Right-hander Taijuan Walker, who was scheduled to start for the Rainiers on Monday, appears best in line, although right-hander Erasmo Ramirez is also an option.

The revised rotation lines up this way: Hernandez and Young will start Tuesday and Wednesday against Atlanta. Then Roenis Elias, Iwakuma and James Paxton will start Thursday through Saturday against the White Sox. After the TBA start Sunday against Chicago, the Mariners will have Hernandez, Young and Iwakuma lined up to face the Blue Jays.

WASHINGTON — Steven Souza Jr. is back in the big leagues.

The Washington Nationals called up the Cascade High School graduate from Triple-A Syracuse on Monday to replace injured outfielder Nate McLouth.

This is Souza’s second stint in the majors. The 25-year-old outfielder was first called up in April and hit .125 (1-for8) in eight games with the Nats. “The whole experience was, honestly, just

awesome,” Souza said at the conclusion of his first trip to the big leagues.

In 91 games with Syracuse this season, Souza hit .354, with 18 home runs and 70 RBI. At the time of his promotion, he was leading the International League in hitting.

McLouth, 32, was placed on the 15-day disabled list Monday with shoulder inflammation.

He was batting .179 in 79 games, including 33 starts, with one homer and seven RBI. The move is retroactive to Saturday.

Watson wary of Tiger’s injury Associated Press LOUISVILLE, Ky. — U.S. captain Tom Watson said Monday that Tiger Woods’ latest back injury “doesn’t bode well right now” for Woods playing in the Ryder Cup. Watson told SiriusXM PGA Tour Radio he was watching the final round of the Bridgestone Invitational when Woods withdrew after hitting his tee shot on the ninth hole

because of another injury to his back.

“Tiger would be a great addition to our team,” Watson said. “As I’ve said all along, I would pick Tiger Woods if he’s healthy and playing well.

This doesn’t bode well right now. I just hope that maybe it’s just an isolated problem that he can turn around and possibly play this week at the PGA.” Woods flew home to Florida on Sunday to be

evaluated. It was not clear when he would know if he could play at Valhalla, where Woods won the PGA Championship in 2000. His caddie was on the course Monday.

Woods, in only his third tournament since returning from back surgery, said he jarred his lower back when he hopped into a deep bunker after playing an awkward shot from the slope of the bunker on the second hole at Firestone.

grin. “It’s really crazy. I’ve always dreamed of doing something like this and now it’s actually coming true.

“Representing the U.S. is something really big.

Not many people get to do it, so it’s definitely a huge opportunity,” said Askervold, whose family moved from Snohomish to Lake Stevens about a year ago.

On Sunday, Askervold traveled to San Francisco where he met up with other members of the U.S. team. The contingent then continued on to Seoul for a few days of practice before the 26-nation championships formally begin.

Much like his earlier experience at nationals, “I still don’t know what to expect,” he said. “But I’m probably going to be a little intimidated at first just because this is definitely a much bigger experience from nationals.”

Askervold took up cycling about four years ago, initially as a way to cross-train for his primary sport at the time, speedskating. He was good enough in skating to win state championships, but after a few months on a bike, he decided to switch sports.

“I did a couple of races and immediately got hooked,” said Askervold, who subsequently quit speedskating.

He joined a youth cycling club called Team Zoom at Redmond’s

Ian Michael, and two more in the fifth.

With the win, Pacific all but locked up the No. 1 seed in the knockout round.

“It clinches a spot for us,” Corsi said. “It pretty much clinches the No. 1 seed too. A bunch of weird things will have to happen for us to not get it.”

The Northwest regional includes teams from Oregon, Idaho, Montana,

6-8 p.m. today (ages 13-14), Aug. 6 (15-16) and Aug. 7 (1718). For more information, call 425-350-2232 or send an email to lacesbaseball@hotmail.com.

Golf n Blue Boy West Golf Course in Monroe (27927 Florence Acres Road) is offering two-day Kids Golf Camps on Aug. 11-12 and Aug. 2526. The cost is $75, which includes two days of instruction and lunch. For more information, call 360-793-2378.

Hockey n Everett Youth Hockey is offering a Try Hockey For Free Day on Aug. 16 at the Comcast Community Ice Rink in Everett. The event, which starts at 2:15 p.m., is for children ages 4-11. Full protective gear will be provided at no charge.

Participants need to arrive at least an hour early in order to register and be issued their gear. To register, visit the Everett Youth Hockey website at www.eyhbc.org.

Lacrosse n The Edmonds Lacrosse Club is holding its third an-

Marymoor Park, where he began training and competing. He now rides almost every day, sometimes doing vigorous workouts, other times racing, and even going for leisurely rides on what would otherwise be his off days. He is on his bike about 20 hours a week, and in the winter his mileage increases significantly as he builds endurance.

Becoming good at cycling “definitely takes a lot,” he said. “It takes talent, a lot of hard work, a lot of good coaching and it takes eating right. And definitely a good work ethic is one of the main things.”

Having athletic bloodlines helps, too. His grandmother, Francoise (Lucas) Askervold, was a two-time Olympic speedskater for France in the early 1960s, and his father was an All-American swimmer at the University of Alabama in the mid 1980s.

“He’s definitely a natural athlete,” Jim Askervold said. “He’s a very talented kid.”

His coach, David Richter at Seattle’s Herriott Sports Performance, which offers cycling instruction and other services, said Askervold has the potential to be an elite international cyclist.

“He’s still learning ... but I see a lot of young talent,” said Richter, a former pro cyclist. “Every once in a while you get someone who can go all the way if he wants, and Thorsten is one of those kids. ... It’s not going to happen overnight or even in the next year,

Wyoming, Alaska and Washington. The top four teams from the pool play advance to the single-elimination regional semifinals at either 2 p.m. or 6 p.m. on Thursday, with the winners of those games playing in the championship game at 1 p.m. Saturday.

Pacific, which is 3-0 at the tournament, faces Wyoming at 7 p.m. Tuesday in its final opening round game. Still, Corsi said the Pacific All-Stars are hoping to come out swinging against the team from Cody, Wyo.

The deadline is noon Sunday.

but in the next five years he could take it to the top level.”

Askervold enjoys competing in a velodrome, but he also loves road racing.

And given the economics of the sport, he expects his future will be in the latter. Unfortunately for track cyclists, there is scant money available either from sponsorship contracts or national team support. Most of the money in cycling goes to the road racers.

So if Askervold’s dream unfolds as planned, he will someday have a lucrative contract with a pro team and he will be racing in, and perhaps winning, the Tour de France.

In pursuit of that goal, he expects to devote his coming years to cycling.

College is on hold for now, and any job he takes would probably be parttime so he can devote himself to training.

“I want to focus on cycling and see where it goes,” he said. “This is definitely my life. It’s what I like to do and it’s definitely something I can see in my future.”

As far as a professional career, Richter said he believes it can happen.

“It’s just a matter of putting the whole package together,” he said. “That’s the hard part. He’s young and things have come pretty easy for him so far.

But things are not always going to be easy, and that’s what we’re trying to prepare him for.

“But if he’s willing to step up his game, he’s definitely got the talent to be at that top level.”

“We’re going to approach it the same way,” Corsi said. “We want to keep the train rolling and win this thing out.”

Most importantly, the players from Washington are going to continue to enjoy themselves in Southern California.

“We’re having fun,” Corsi said. “We’re not here for strictly business. We’re going to a movie tomorrow. We just kind of take this stuff as it comes. Baseball is important, winning is important but you’ve got to have a lot of fun. And the kids are having a blast.”

SEAHAWKS | Notebook

No timeline on rookie WR Norwood

By John Boyle Herald Writer

TED S. WARREN / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll made an interesting comment about departed tackle Michael Bowie during Monday’s practice.

Seahawks have O-line questions

By John Boyle Herald Writer

RENTON — With last year’s starting right tackle in New York with the Jets, and one of the two people expected to compete for the job now in Cleveland, the Seattle Seahawks are more unsettled at that position than ever.

But apparently they’re not too broken up over the loss of tackle Michael Bowie, who was claimed off of waivers by Cleveland over the weekend. Not based off what Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said Monday.

The Seahawks knew Bowie needed shoulder surgery and would miss the season. But Seattle could have assured it kept the player’s rights beyond this season had they been willing to keep him on the 90-man roster for a few more weeks before placing him on injured reserve.

Instead they took their chances and waived/injured Bowie — he would have reverted to injured reserve had he cleared waivers — and the Cleveland Browns decided to claim the former seventh-round pick who started eight games as a rookie.

Players with fewer than four years of service time cannot be placed on injured reserve before the first round of roster cuts,

which occurs on Aug. 26 this year. So keeping Bowie without subjecting him to waivers would have meant using a 90-man roster spot on an injured player for another three weeks, something the Seahawks weren’t willing to do for Bowie, but the Browns were.

Asked about that decision Monday, Carroll gave a brief, but telling answer about the team’s feeling about Bowie.

“That’s the decision we made,” Carroll said of using the waive/ injured designation, before adding, unsolicited, “He came in 20 pounds overweight too.”

It’s pretty routine for teams to waive/injure young players who aren’t starters. They did the same with second-year defensive tackle Jesse Williams last week and he went unclaimed. But what’s not normal, especially not for the always-positive Carroll, is to volunteer that a player was “20 pounds overweight” without being asked anything about that player’s weight or conditioning.

That’s a pretty clear sign that the Seahawks weren’t happy with Bowie, who was expected to compete for the starting job at right tackle with rookie Justin Britt.

So now what? Before camp opened, Bowie and Britt, a

second-round pick, were the two candidates to replace Breno Giacomini, who signed with the Jets in free agency. The competition isn’t over with Bowie gone, however. The Seahawks signed veteran right tackle Eric Winston last week. And on Sunday claimed another tackle, Cory Brandon, off waivers from Arizona, though Brandon more likely is competing to make the roster as a backup than he is for a starting job.

Alvin Bailey is another name to watch at right tackle now that Russell Okung is easing back into things — the left tackle was limited in practice after missing the first week and a half of camp while recovering from offseason foot surgery. Bailey has been working with the first team at left tackle in Okung’s absence, but once Okung is a full-go, that will free up Bailey to join the competition on the right side.

“It’s a big competition going on, and there has been since the start of camp,” Carroll said. “...

This is a very competitive situation with Britt and (Eric) Winston in there, and I think Alvin Bailey will be mixed into this thing too eventually. It’s a really good spot for us in that we do have depth and competition, but unfortunately Mike wasn’t able to hang

Dalton’s deal worth reported $115 million Associated Press CINCINNATI — Andy Dalton is relieved. So are the Cincinnati Bengals.

Everyone one was all smiles around Bengals camp on Monday when the team made Dalton one of the highest-paid quarterbacks in the league.

Dalton signed a six-year extension, but the financial terms were not released. According to multiple reports, the deal is worth up to $115 million.

“We’re betting big on him because we believe in him,” Bengals owner Mike Brown said.

Dalton said now he can concentrate solely on football.

“You do have it in the back of your mind, when is it going to get done,” Dalton said. “Now we don’t have to worry about it. Like (coach) Marvin (Lewis) said, just play the game and I don’t have to have this hanging over me.

“To get this opportunity to come to the city of Cincinnati, get drafted here and play for the Bengals and now sign this extension and be here for a long time, I’m just so blessed.”

Brown said it was a “happy news day” for the organization.

“This is important to solidify our franchise going forward. Andy has earned his place here,” Brown

with us. It’s unfortunate he had to go.

“Alvin’s got the flexibility to play a couple different spots.

He has played guard a little bit too. He’s a valuable spot in that regard.”

With Bailey perhaps factoring into another position battle and with two new additions over the past few days — Brandon and veteran guard Wade Smith, who has started every game over the last four seasons for Houston — Carroll said the Seahawks will take their time sorting out the offensive line. Smith played primarily left guard on his first day with Seattle, while Brandon took reps at left tackle.

“We’re hoping that Wade Smith and Cory Brandon can bring us something,” Carroll said. “We want to continue to work to make this position as competitive as possible. We’ve got a lot of young guys in this spot. Wade in particular brings a lot of experience and tremendous flexibility — he has started at all five spots — so that flexibility might fit with us. He’s a good guy and a smart guy and all of that. That helps us as we try to mold this thing together. We have flexibility how we’re going to do it and we’re going to take our time figuring it out.”

AL BEHRMAN / ASSOCIATED PRESS

said. “He has gained the confidence of the players, the coaches and the management of the team.”

Added Dalton: “We’re excited to know we’re going to be here for a long time.”

The quarterback has passed for more than 3,000 yards in each of his three seasons. He led the Bengals to an 11-5 record and AFC North title in 2013. He set career highs with 33 touchdown passes and 20 interceptions.

Dalton was a second-round draft choice in 2011.

Dalton has been criticized for throwing six interceptions with only one touchdown in three postseason losses. Lewis said Dalton is still improving.

“It’s stating the obvious that this is a key move for the ongoing success of our team,” Lewis said. “I congratulate our front office, and Andy and his representatives, for coming together to make this happen in a constructive way for the football team. Andy is still a young player, he has led us to the playoffs three straight years, and by far we have not seen the best of him yet.”

Dalton said the big contract won’t put any extra pressure on him to perform.

“We have high expectations for what we’re trying to do this year, and so regardless of the contract, I would have expected to go into the season with the same mentality and same attitude,” Dalton said.

Chancellor in pads Safety Kam Chancellor, who is recovering from offseason hip surgery, was back in pads for the first time, though he was limited, mostly taking part in early individual drills, but it’s still an encouraging first step for the Pro Bowler.

Also back from a minor injury in addition to rookie offensive tackle Justin Britt was rookie defensive end Cassius Marsh, who missed two days with a groin injury.

Receiver Phil Bates, who has been one of the bright spots in camp, left early after chatting with trainers, but it turns out he wasn’t injured, but rather sick.

Left guard James Carpenter, who has been sidelined with calf injury since last week, has a chance to get back “Tomorrow or the next couple of day,” Carroll said. Linebacker Bobby Wagner, who has a hamstring injury, will “take a little bit longer.”

Rookie safety Dion Bailey watched practice on crutches and in a walking boot after hurting himself Saturday, and has what Carroll called a “pretty good ankle sprain.”

Roster moves The Seahawks signed guard Wade Smith and claimed offensive lineman Cory Brandon off waivers from Arizona. The Seahawks also resigned defensive tackle Andru Pulu, who they signed as an undrafted free agent but released following the team’s June minicamp. The Seahawks also waived receiver Ronald Johnson, who they signed late last week, as well as linebacker Brandon Denmark.

Giants’ RB Wilson advised to not play again

By Tom Rock

Bengals QB Andy Dalton signed a six-year contract extension on Monday.

RENTON — Rookie Seattle Seahawks receiver Kevin Norwood, one of the standouts of offseason workouts, continues to be sidelined by a sore foot.

Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll initially downplayed the injury last week, but after Norwood returned to practice Wednesday for just a day before being sidelined once again, Carroll’s answer on the receiver now seems less optimistic.

“We’re waiting for some more information, we’re going to take our time with him,” Carroll said. “He’s not going to come back right way. It’s going to be a bit.”

The Seahawks won’t rush to make a decision on Norwood for a couple of reasons. The fourthround pick can’t go on the PUP list since he started camp healthy and practicing.

And the Seahawks almost certainly won’t waive/injure him for fear of another team claiming him. So even if he might be out long enough to end up on injured reserve, the Seahawks wouldn’t be able to place him on IR until Aug. 26 at the earliest.

Most dreams end with an alarm clock. David Wilson’s buzzed on Monday.

The 23-year-old Giants running back, who underwent neck surgery in January and suffered a burner in practice last week, was advised by team doctors that he should no longer play football. The Giants will put Wilson on injured reserve, ending his third season with the team and, most likely, his career.

“I don’t want anybody to feel sorry for me, or pity me,” Wilson said through the team. “I lived my dream. A lot of people only get to dream their dream.

I lived that dream. Now I have a chance to dream another dream and live that, too.”

According to team physician Dr. Russell Warren, Wilson has diffuse cervical stenosis. He also had a disc removed and a fusion in January.

“In light of last week’s episode of symptoms, sensory and motor, Frank Cammisa, chief of spine service at the Hospital for Special Surgery and I both

told David he should not play football any more. We let David know that by playing, he would be putting himself at risk for more episodes like last week or perhaps something more serious.”

Wilson had been cleared to return to full contact practice at the start of training camp on July 21. He left practice on July 29 with the burner. He underwent a series of tests that night and met with the doctors on Monday morning to go over the results.

“I’m thankful that I can literally walk away from the game and that I am healthy and capable of doing the same things I have done all my life, except play football,” Wilson said. “I always try to find the positive in everything. This morning when I saw Dr. Cammisa and Dr. Warren, I didn’t hear what I wanted to hear, but I expected that what they told me could be a possibility. I had played out both scenarios in my mind. I prayed this morning before I went to see them that they would tell me what God would tell me. He put His answer in them to relay to me.”

IAMI — Alonzo Mourning will carry a part of Jason Cooper into the Basketball Hall of Fame on Friday, when the former Miami Heat center is inducted in Springfield, Mass.

That will make it more than a basketball story.

But from a storyteller’s perspective, what will happen Aug. 8, 2014 is as much about Jan. 20, 2009 and Dec. 19, 2003.

Dec. 19, 2003 is when Mourning received the life-saving kidney transplant made possible by the selflessness of his cousin.

Just over three years later, Mourning would be

laparoscopic incisions that’s made and the kidney is removed through these little holes and then you’re able to administer the kidney. The turnaround for both the donor and the recipient is three, four, five days. So I’m very, very fortunate from that perspective.”

Almost immediately my father-in-law’s health dramatically improved.

Mourning’s revival was such that by the midpoint of the following season he was back with the Heat, playing in the Eastern Conference finals. A year later, there was the franchise’s first championship celebration.

“Now,” Mourning said, “when people hear ‘kidney disease’ or hear this particular kidney disease, or hear anything about transplantation or what have you, doctors use me as an example.”

Mourning is appreciative that his means afforded him the best possible care, that his athletic background gave him the best fighting chance.

“One day,” he said

optimistically, “we’re going to get to the point where you only have to take one pill a day, and then you’re done for the rest of your life. That’s how rapidly technology is advancing.”

Recently, Cooper visited with the Mournings, two men bonded by both a shared kidney and Cooper’s newborn daughter.

“I thank him quite often,” Mourning said.

Friday night, basketball gets to thank Alonzo Mourning.

But this is about more than blocking five shots in the deciding game of the 2006 NBA Finals, or Irwin Aronowitz shooting a competitive round at Rolling Greens Golf Club in Newton, N.J. “I still get letters. I still get emails. I hear from people,” Mourning said. “I try to talk to people and comfort them and help them get through those situations, because they feel as though, ‘Hey, if you can get back on the court and play the game of basketball at that particular level, then I can do it, too.’”

GREENBURGH, N.Y. — Andrew Wiggins stepped onto the basketball court Sunday wearing his No. 21 wine-and-gold colored Cleveland Cavaliers jersey. Odd, considering the jersey had just been discontinued by the NBA Store.

The fact that the jersey of the top pick in this year’s NBA Draft was taken off shelves and online browsers was the latest sign that a trade involving Wiggins likely is imminent.

Since LeBron James decided to return to Cleveland, there has been speculation that Wiggins would be included in a potential trade package for Minnesota’s Kevin Love.

Wiggins signed a four-year deal with the Cavaliers on July 24. He isn’t eligible to be traded for at least 30 days after signing, which would be August 23.

Kidney transplants saved Alzono Mourning’s — and my father-in-law’s — life there would not have been Springfield, with Mourning’s career cut short by a knee injury. Yet the transplant was a primary reason Mourning pushed to return.

“After my transplant, I wanted to have an impact on other people’s lives and provide encouragement and hope,” Mourning says during a reflective moment in a lounge at AmericanAirlines Arena.

Mourning’s transplant came close to the midpoint of the 2003-04 season. My wife’s donation came during the midpoint of the 2008-09 season, between a Heat victory in Oklahoma City and Heat home loss to Boston.

Mourning made it to the court by the start of the following season; my wife was back home within days.

“Twenty, 30 years ago technology wasn’t as advanced as it is now,” Mourning said. “The surgery was more invasive. And now, the donor, there’s this very small incision by the navel, there’s

Two kidneys, two lives changed hoisting the Larry O’Brien Trophy, as NBA champion.

Jan. 20, 2009 is when my wife, Sheri Winderman, donated a kidney to her father, Irwin Aronowitz, whose quality of life improved dramatically from that very moment, a champion to Jake Winderman and his two other grandchildren.

It is why this coming Friday will resonate in South Florida beyond the Mourning home. To witness the possibilities of transplantation makes Alonzo Mourning’s induction more about life, renewal, compassion, than points, rebounds, blocked shots.

At Mourning’s side Friday at Springfield Symphony Hall will be Pat Riley and John Thompson, his formal presenters. The two men — Thompson at Georgetown, Riley these past two decades with the Heat — changed his life.

Jason Cooper saved it.
