Suspect faces two trials A judge rules the “cold-case” killings Danny Ross Giles is accused of are similar crimes that happened weeks apart. By Scott North Herald Writer

EVERETT — Public defenders representing a man accused of two 1995 Snohomish County “cold-case” killings won a

significant victory Wednesday. Superior Court Judge Bruce Weiss ruled it would be prejudicial for Danny Ross Giles to face a single trial on both cases. If prosecutors want to prove Giles is responsible for what

happened to Patti Berry and Tracey Brazzel 19 years ago, they will have to convince separate juries, the judge said. To do otherwise would ignore the “inherent danger” that jurors could be swayed more by emotion than evidence, Weiss said. There is insufficient proof that the women fell victim to a “common scheme or plan” instead of

two similar crimes that happened weeks apart, the judge ruled. “The dots have not been connected,” Weiss said. It wasn’t immediately clear Wednesday if the ruling will affect how prosecutors move forward, but it is almost certain to See GILES, back page, this section

MALTBY — A collision that killed three people on Highway 522 near Maltby on June 16 was caused by a driver who fell asleep at the wheel, according to the Washington State Patrol. The 24-year-old Monroe man has since been issued a traffic infraction for seconddegree negligent driving, trooper Mark Francis said. Criminal charges are not expected. The man’s 1-year-old daughter, Isabella Rose Bednarski, died from injuries sustained in the head-on crash. Two others killed were Stanley and Joan Kinger, 79 and 76, of Redmond. The crash happened just after 3 p.m. near the highway’s intersection with Fales Road. The Monroe man was eastbound in a gray 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse, according to a State Patrol memo. He suddenly drove onto the westbound shoulder, struck a construction barrel and overcorrected. The Mitsubishi then struck a westbound 2007 Ford Fusion. Witnesses told police the man appeared to be driving normally in the moments leading up to the crash. Joan Kinger died at the scene. Stanley Kinger and Isabella died at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. The Monroe man also was hospitalized in intensive care after the crash. Investigators found no evidence that drugs, alcohol or cellphone use were involved in the crash.

‘Massacre’ actress dies at 65 Associated Press HOUSTON — Actress Marilyn Burns, perhaps best known as the heroine in the 1974 horror classic “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre,” has died at her Houston-area home. She was 65. Her manager, Chris Roe, confirmed Wednesday that Burns was found

unresponsive by a family member Tuesday. The Harris County Medical Examiner’s Office has not determined a cause of death. Burns’ career included roles in several horror films spanning 40 years, including last year’s “Texas Chainsaw 3D.” The 3-D version debuted at No. 1 at the box office when it was

released, a testament to the continuing popularity of the franchise. In the 1974 film, her character was the only one among a group of friends to escape the rampage of the chain saw-wielding maniac Leatherface. Burns appeared in another horror film, “Sacrament,” that was released this year.

Roe said Burns played an important role in establishing that women could play the hero in film. “What made Marilyn stand out in my mind is that she was an incredibly gracious and giving person,” Roe said. “She always had a smile, no matter what. I don’t think you can find a person who had a negative thing to say about her.”

Atlantic puffins congregate near their burrows on Eastern Egg Rock, a small island off the coast of Maine.

Birders asked to help study puffins By Patrick Whittle and Robert Bukaty

wants bird lovers to contribute research to a project scientists hope will help save Atlantic puffins from starvation in Maine. There are about 1,000 pairs of the seabirds, known for their multi-colored beaks and clownish appearance, in Maine. Audubon says the number of puffin fledging chicks has declined in the past two years, possibly because their key food source, herring and hake, are leaving for cooler waters. Puffins are on the state’s threatened species list. Audubon maintains three web cameras on Seal Island, a National Wildlife Refuge in outer Penobscot Bay, 22 miles off Rockland and one of the key puffin habitats in Maine. Volunteers are being asked to watch the puffins and answer questions about their feeding behavior, said Steve Kress, director of the National Audubon Society’s seabird restoration program. From 2007-2011, Kress said that 77 percent of puffin pairs on Seal Island produced fledglings, or birds that are able to fly. The number declined to 31 percent in 2012 and 10 percent in 2013. While 2014 “appears to be better,” he

Online Puffin cam: http://explore. org/live-cams/player/ puffin-burrow-cam said, it’s too early to tell. “This is a citizen science project, hoping to advance the science as well as entertain the viewers,” Kress said. “There are some questions that can be better answered through lots of people viewing.” Almost all of Maine’s puffin population nests on three islands — Matinicus Rock, Eastern Egg Rock, and Seal Island. Kress and others believe the decline in fledged puffin chicks is tied to rising water temperatures in the Gulf of Maine. The puffins are left to try to eat butterfish, a species more available as herring and hake — key food species for puffins — seek colder waters, Kress said. Scientists say surface temperatures of the waters in the Gulf of Maine have increased slightly each year since 1982, but the pace increased after 2004. With fewer herring and hake, puffins have been giving their young butterfish, but those fish are

too big for puffin chicks to eat, and many of the birds starve and die. That’s what happened to Petey, the puffin chick the 2012 camera focused on. Two of Audubon’s cameras focus on the rocky areas where puffins roost. Another is inside a burrow, providing a close-up view of a fuzzy puffin chick. Last year’s featured puffin chick, Hope, survived. This year’s chick, Pal, hatched around June 25. Audubon is asking web camera watchers to observe Pal and answer a survey about what kind of fish his parents feed him, including how many and when. The web cameras have attracted more than 4 million views since 2012, and more than 1,000 people have completed Audubon surveys. Explore.org, a Los Angeles-based nonprofit group that runs dozens of wildlife web cameras around the world, installed the cameras and is partnering with Audubon. Puffins, which spend most of their lives at sea, breed in the spring before returning to the ocean in early August. The chicks go to sea after their parents feed them for about 40 days.

Manslaughter verdict stands The court said the defendant’s history with guns played a role when he shot his young daughter. By Diana Hefley Herald Writer

MARYSVILLE — The state Court of Appeals has upheld the manslaughter conviction of a Marysville-area man who fatally shot his 6-year-old daughter after a day of drinking. For a second time, Richard Peters asked the appellate court

to overturn a jury’s verdict. A drunken Peters shot his daughter Stormy in the forehead in 2008 after he told her to bring him his gun. The first-grader died later that night at Children’s Hospital Seattle. Peters’ wife and two other children, 3 and 8, also were home at the time of the shooting. Peters maintained that the gunfire was accidental, saying he didn’t know the weapon was loaded. The Boeing worker was tried for murder in 2009. Prosecutors alleged that Peters intentionally pointed a .45-caliber Colt

handgun at his daughter to scare her or get her to shut up. Jurors acquitted Peters of murder but convicted him of first-degree manslaughter, finding that his reckless actions caused Stormy’s death. Peters was sentenced to more than 13 years in prison, the maximum allowed under state guidelines. The state Court of Appeals overturned the conviction in 2011. It held that the trial judge erred in allowing a jury instruction that lowered the burden of proof for prosecutors. Peters was retried last year and convicted of second-degree

manslaughter with a firearm. Jurors acquitted him of the more serious charge of first-degree manslaughter, concluding that Peters was negligent, not reckless. Snohomish County Superior Court Judge Joseph Wilson sentenced Peters to five years and three months in prison, the maximum sentence under the law. Peters already had served about 4½ years behind bars. He was released from prison in May 2013, about a month after Wilson handed down the sentence. See VERDICT, Page A4

ho’d have thunk this year’s primary ballot would include contests for Snohomish County executive and an open legislative seat in the 44th District? Only three years ago, Aaron Reardon, a Democrat, the reigning county executive, was seeking a third term with designs on a run for governor. Hope, a Republican, safely entrenched in his state House seat in the 44th District, decided to make a run at Reardon. No matter how things turned out, both men seemed assured of a continued presence on every pundit’s short list of up-andcoming, can’t miss stars of the political stage Today, both are out of office, out of sight and, increasingly out of the community’s mind. Karma, you say? Reardon’s tumble from the top shelf of county power in 2013 is well-chronicled. What remains unknown is if the Public Disclosure Commission will find cause to penalize him for the wheeling, dealing and monkey business that transpired on his watch. PDC investigators have spent 29 months looking, so far. Hope fell from grace only a few days ago when it became known he’d registered to vote in Ohio in 2013 while still a legal voter in Washington. It went undetected so long largely because he hasn’t voted in an election in either state in the past year. Though he’s gone, officials administering his former place of employment — the state House of Representatives — want to know if Hope might have been unqualified to serve last session and should be forced to repay his taxpayer-funded salary. In the meantime, Hope’s departure created an unexpected vacancy. An appointee will serve until results in the November election to replace him are final. Republicans are hurrying to get someone in that seat for the next couple months but whether it will be the person they most want is up to Democrats. On Aug. 14, GOP precinct committee officers will nominate three people for the appointment and in the process make clear who they prefer. That information will be sent to the Snohomish County Council which will interview each of the trio before appointing one who could be sworn in immediately. Not a lot of deduction is required to figure out Mark Harmsworth of Mill Creek should be the preferred pick of the PCOs. Harmsworth is already campaigning for the seat and wants to be able to tell voters he is their new state representative. The County Council’s four Democrats might be reluctant to appoint him just for that very reason. Democratic Party leaders want to win the seat and won’t want the job title bestowed upon

Verdict: For the 2nd time, still guilty Cornfield From Page A3

Peters once again asked the state Court of Appeals to overturn his conviction. This time he argued that jurors should not have been told about the 16 guns seized from his home or shown pictures of the firearms and ammunition. Peters argued that Wilson improperly burdened his constitutional right to bear arms when he admitted evidence of guns not actually used in the shooting. Peters also said the jury shouldn’t have heard from witnesses who testified that Peters had mishandled and unsafely stored firearms in the past.

NASCAR From Page A3

your all into what you want to do, you’ll never know if you got as much out of it as you could have,” Foster said in a video she made earlier this year. The video was a submission for the mikeroweWORKS scholarship. More than 270 students were selected as finalists, and the 33 whose videos received the most online votes won full rides. Foster got the call two weeks ago that her core classes at the NASCAR Technical Institute are covered. “I was really excited,” Foster said. “Especially with all the work my friends and family did to help with it.”

In its opinion, the appellate court agreed that Peters then had a right to own guns, and that prosecutors cannot use “the fact of gun ownership to draw adverse inferences regarding the defendant’s character.” However, his cache of guns was relevant to the case and therefore admissable, according to the court’s opinion released earlier this week. “Evidence of Peters’ ownership of guns and the manner in which he used and stored them was relevant to prove that Peters had knowledge of a substantial risk that his actions may cause the death to occur and that he

intentionally disregarded that risk,” the court wrote. The evidence was essential to prove the element of the crime, the court concluded. The same reasoning was applied to testimony allowed from one man who testified that Peters had pointed a loaded gun at him and that he’d seen Peters leave a loaded rifle propped against a wall in the house, where the children could reach it. The man testified that he criticized Peters for how he handled guns. Another man testified that two weeks before Stormy was killed Peters accidentally discharged a shotgun at a pumpkin shoot. Peters

testified that he wasn’t aware the gun was loaded and failed to check it. The court found that Wilson did not err in allowing both men’s testimony. It was evidence Peters had been “forewarned of the obvious risk associated with keeping unsecured guns in the reach of children and pointing guns at people whom he did not intend to kill,” the court ruled. As a convicted felon, Peters is now prohibited from having in his control or owning any guns.

Brent Delfel, who teaches diesel power technology at the Sno-Isle Tech Skills Center, has worked with Foster and was one of the people who rallied to help her get the votes she needed. “It’s really hard not to get behind a student like Dani,” Delfel said. “She came to school every day with a spring in her step and a smile on her face, even on those days that her dad was struggling with cancer.” Foster’s supporters announced at Evergreen Speedway that she was competing for the scholarship. They then made their way through the stands, urging people to vote for Foster’s video. It was the final day of the scholarship competition. “The success of this was largely due to the fans and the people at the track,” Delfel said.

Admissions adviser Don Richards met Foster shortly before her father died. He was impressed by her dedication and determination, but they weren’t sure if she could start school on time. Financial aid is complicated, and the loss of her dad made it more so, he said. The scholarship was key to her education. “She did really well because of her fan base,” Richards said. “She’s got a heck of a work ethic, too. She’s going to be a great student.” The NASCAR Technical Institute is the only school Foster applied to. She knew where she was going and what she needed to do to get there. She’ll start school in Mooresville, N.C., on Sept. 29. It’s a little nerve-wracking, she said. “But I’m excited for it,” she said. “It’s a change.”

Foster knows she isn’t a typical race car technician. With her willowy build and long blonde hair, she stands out in the maledominated field. At Jiffy Lube, people have asked her if she knows how to change oil or if she just handles customer service. When she started looking for jobs at automotive shops, people seemed to rule her out when she walked through the door. She was told several times that “they were only hiring mechanics.” Foster said the best thing to do is be respectful and prove yourself. “Go after it and focus on it,” she said. “Don’t let anyone’s opinions influence you. Just show them you can do it, but be humble about it.” That’s something her dad taught her, and the lesson has served her well.

In a blog post earlier this summer, Eric wrote that organizers have been blown away by the number of people who signed up for or offered to help with the conference. Other genealogical organizations donated magazines, subscriptions and online classes as gifts for people at the conference. The Stillaguamish Valley Genealogical Society estimates the donated items and classes are worth more than $28,000. “We would also like to thank everyone who has shown support and kindness to our society, members, and victims of the Oso mudslide,” Eric

Harmsworth if they perceive it could provide a measureable advantage. Tuesday’s initial results show it could, as Harmsworth finished the night with a 69-vote edge on Democrat Mike Wilson. That portends a very close race in November. Council Chairman Dave Somers, a Democrat, has brushed off insinuations that the council might stoop to such hijinks and ignore the GOP’s preferred appointee. However, on occasion, each political party has messed with the other in such a manner. In 2004, a Republican-controlled council appointed Democrat David Simpson to a vacancy in the 38th District rather than Mike

Sells who received the most votes from PCOs. Sells went on to unseat Simpson in that year’s elections. Ten years earlier, when Republican Bill Brubaker resigned from the County Council, then state Sen. Gary Nelson emerged as his party’s top pick to replace him. But the council’s Democratic majority chose the third Republican on the list, Al Schweppe. Nelson, who ran for the position that November and won, would in 2004 cast a decisive vote for Simpson.

2 more file claims for Oso damages herald staff EVERETT — Two more damage claims have been filed against Snohomish County in connection with the deadly March 22 mudslide at Oso. Timothy Ward, 58, was seriously injured and his wife, Brandy Ward, killed when the hill fell on their home at Steelhead Drive. He is a commissioner with the Oso Fire Department. She had retired after spending more than 20 years at Providence Regional Medical Center Everett as the hospital’s cardiovascular lab secretary. Abbie Pearson, 32, is the daughter of Michael Pearson, 74. The retired Everett police officer died when his home along Steelhead Drive was obliterated by the slide. Both claims were filed

on behalf of the estates of those who died. Timothy Ward also is seeking damages for his injuries. The paperwork was filed by Seattle attorney Corrie Yackulic, who is representing many of those who lost families and homes in the disaster. “The more records we review, the more clear it is that lots of people in the state and county government had a really detailed understanding of the risks of this slope and that risk was not communicated to the people who lived there,” Yackulic said. Roughly 30 claims for damages have been brought against the county and a similar number against the state. Claims are usually the first step in a lawsuit. The county and state last month were sued by survivors of one family wiped out in the slide.

Injured hikers rescued GOLD BAR — Teams from Snohomish County Search and Rescue aided injured hikers in separate incidents over the past two days. The first rescue involved a woman in her 20s with an injured foot near Lake 22 east of Granite Falls. A call came in around 7 p.m. Tuesday that the woman was unable to hike out on her own due the nature of her injuries, sheriff’s spokeswoman Shari Ireton said. A team of 30 search & rescue volunteers located the woman, placed her in a litter and carried her out around 11 p.m. Her injuries were not believed to be serious. The second incident occurred near Lake Janus along the Pacific Crest Trail when a man reported that he had broken his ankle while hiking. The Helicopter Rescue Team was notified and SnoHAWK10, the sheriff’s office helicopter, was launched around 10:30 a.m. Wednesday. The victim was hoisted from the area around noon and flown to Gold Bar where he was met by medics from Snohomish County Fire District 26.

A prolific identity thief has been sentenced in Snohomish County Superior Court to more than five years in prison. Cassandra Aguilar, 30, pleaded guilty in June to multiple counts of identity theft and possession of stolen property. She was sentenced earlier this week. When detectives searched her car with a courtapproved warrant March 14, they reportedly found checks and bank and credit cards belonging to more than a half dozen people. All had been stolen — some from mailboxes, others from cars. The suspect was arrested for investigation of more than a dozen counts of identity theft, financial fraud and possessing stolen property. Everett police said Aguilar used counterfeit ID in some of the victims’ names to pass the bad checks.

Internet out for 2,800 in county Frontier Communications was reporting Internet outages on Wednesday in Snohomish County. Emily Tantare, a spokeswoman for Frontier, said Wednesday afternoon that crews have been working for the past 24 hours to restore service in Snohomish County. She estimated that Internet service for 2,800 customers in parts of Bothell, Everett, Edmonds, Granite Falls, Halls Lake, Lynnwood, Mountlake Terrace and Marysville had been affected. Michael Clune, of Lynnwood, said his Internet service was disrupted on Tuesday afternoon and 24 hours later it had not been restored. “There’s no timetable on when it will be solved,” he said. Tantare said she did not have any updated information on when the outages, caused by a data server going down, would be resolved. Herald staff

SNOHOMISH — The Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office reported Wednesday night that it was looking for help locating a missing developmentally disabled Snohomish girl. Elizabeth Harwood, 14, went missing Wednesday afternoon. Harwood left her home in the 500 block of D Ave. around n o o n , Elizabeth i n d i - Harwood cating that she would ride her bike to a friend’s house, sheriff’s office spokeswoman Shari Ireton said. She did not arrive at that destination. Family members searched for her for three hours and then called to report Harwood missing. The Snohomish Police Department conducted an area search. After several hours of unsuccessful searching, the sheriff’s office Search and Rescue Unit was called in. “So far, authorities have no leads as to where Harwood might be or where she went after leaving home,” Ireton said. Harwood reportedly has the mental capacity of a younger child, she said. She was seen leaving her house wearing a yellow green and blue striped t-shirt with khaki pants riding a white bike with peace sign stickers. Harwood is 5 foot, 6 and weighs about 215 pounds. She has brown shoulder-length, curly hair. Anyone with information about Harwood is asked to call 911 immediately.

Army questions Sgt. Bergdahl Associated Press HOUSTON — The U.S. Army has begun questioning Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl about his disappearance in Afghanistan that led to five years in captivity by the Taliban, his attorney and an Army spokeswoman said Wednesday. Bergdahl was questioned at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, where he has been staying since returning to the U.S., said his attorney, Eugene Fidell. “Sgt. Bergdahl answered all questions put to him. The interview is proceeding. It has been a productive expenditure of time,” Fidell said during a break in the questioning. Lt. Col. Alayne Conway, an Army spokeswoman, said Bergdahl was advised of his rights under Article 31 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Article 31 pertains to individuals being informed of the nature of the accusation against them and says that they do not have to make any statement to investigators. “This in an ongoing investigation; the investigating officer has 60 days from his

appointment to conclude his investigation; however, he can request additional time if he feels it is necessary,” Conway said. Maj. Gen. Kenneth Dahl, who is heading the probe into the 28-year-old’s disappearance, questioned Bergdahl Wednesday, Fidell said. A well-known lawyer and military justice expert who is currently a visiting lecturer

at Yale Law School, Fidell described the setting of Bergdahl’s interview as “a comfortable environment,” a room with a sofa and a couple of chairs. He said there were four people in the room, the interview was being recorded and that they were taking breaks throughout the day. It was not immediately known how long the interview would last. But Fidell said he

expected this would be the only interview Bergdahl would be giving as part of the investigation. “There is no reason to think there will be more than one,” he said. The Idaho native was freed by the Taliban May 31 in a deal struck by the Obama administration in which five senior Taliban officials were released from detention at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Bergdahl had disappeared from his post in Paktika province in eastern Afghanistan on June 30, 2009. Some ex-members of Bergdahl’s former unit have labeled him a deserter, asserting that he chose to walk away and saying some were wounded or killed looking for him. The investigation’s findings will help determine whether Bergdahl is prosecuted for desertion or faces any other disciplinary action. Bergdahl had been receiving care at Fort Sam Houston since returning to the United States on June 13. He was treated at Brooke Army Medical Center at the fort but was later shifted to outpatient care at the military base.

Crash search suspended It’s too dangerous for the team to continue working in the war zone, official says. The Washington Post KIEV, Ukraine — The Dutchled mission to retrieve human remains and evidence from the site of the Malaysia Airlines crash over eastern Ukraine was halted Wednesday because of security concerns. In announcing the abrupt pullout, only six days after the search officially started, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said it was too dangerous for the team to continue working in the war zone. He promised families of the 298 crash victims that the search would resume when Ukraine is “more stable.” The team of forensics experts from the Netherlands, Australia and Malaysia did not reach the site until July 31, about two weeks after the Boeing 777200 airliner was shot down, because of fighting between government troops and proRussian separatists. The team expected to find many human remains but largely recovered only personal effects because local residents and emergency workers already had picked up many bodies and body parts. The team, however, searched only three of six areas it had identified as places where more remains and possessions were likely to be. The experts acknowledged Wednesday

KENNETT SQUARE, Pa. — The cheerful sign outside Jane Cornell’s summer school classroom in Pennsylvania’s wealthiest county says “Welcome” and “Bienvenidos” in polished but cheerful handwriting. Inside, grade-schoolers who mostly come from homes where Spanish is the primary language worked on storytelling with a tale about a crocodile going to the dentist. The children and their classroom at the Mary D.

Clinton tops Christie in his own home state WASHINGTON — Potential Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton leads New Jersey Republican Gov. Chris Christie, a potential White House contender, in his home state, according to a Quinnipiac poll released Wednesday. Clinton, President Barack Obama’s former secretary of state, leads the second-term governor 50 percent to 42 percent in the poll. The poll exposes a huge gender gap with Clinton ahead among women 54 percent to 38 percent. Men in the Garden State prefer Christie over Clinton 47 percent to 44 percent. The poll also finds Clinton, a New York resident, with a higher favorability rating — 60 percent to 38 percent — than Christie.

New York: Not Ebola A man who appeared at a hospital with a high fever and gastrointestinal symptoms after a visit to West Africa has tested negative for the Ebola virus, health officials said Wednesday. The man, who recently traveled to a country where Ebola has been reported, has been kept in isolation since he arrived at Mount Sinai Hospital on Monday. He was in stable condition and was improving, said the hospital, which didn’t disclose what illness he has. Officials at U.S. airports are watching travelers from Africa for flulike symptoms that could be tied to the recent Ebola outbreak there.

Texas: Vietnamese general A Fort Hood officer has become the first Vietnamese-American to reach the rank of general in the U.S. Army. Col. Viet Luong received his brigadier general’s stars at a Fort Hood ceremony Wednesday from Fort Hood’s commander.

The decision to abort the search was made on a day when the team’s work was interrupted by small-weapons fire nearby. The team had to seek shelter. Afterward, monitors with the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, who have been helping the experts maneuver their way

across multiple front lines and checkpoints, told them that it was no longer safe to remain at the crash site, according to Aalbersberg. “The security situation has worsened in recent days, tensions have risen, and the crash site has become less and less accessible,” he said. “The experts are not able to perform their task adequately.” During their first forays into the widely scattered debris fields, the experts found some human remains, which they placed into ambulances and had flown to the Netherlands

for identification. But in recent days, they have found only victims’ possessions, including photo albums, passports, jewelry, diaries and stuffed toys. The suspension of the search means that there will be no more collection of evidence that could help prove what or who was responsible for the plane’s downing. The airliner’s data-collection devices, or black boxes, have been retrieved, however. “I’m confident when the situation stabilizes we will continue our search,” Aalbersberg said.

White students are now a minority Associated Press

ACROSS THE U.S.

this fall to have more minority students than white students enrolled, a shift largely fueled by growth in the number of Hispanic children. White students are still expected to be the largest racial group in the public schools this year at 49.8 percent. But the National Center for Education Statistics said minority students, when added together, will now make up the majority. About one-quarter of the minority students are Hispanic, 15 percent are black and 5 percent are Asian and Pacific Islanders. Biracial students and Native Americans make up a smaller share of the minority student population. Education Secretary Arne Duncan called the changing population a seminal moment in education. “We can’t talk about other people’s children.

These are our children,” he said. The shift creates new academic realities, such as the need for more English instruction, and cultural ones, meaning changes in school lunch menus to include tortillas and other offerings to reflect students’ tastes. But it also brings some complex societal questions that often fall to school systems to address, including issues of immigration, poverty, diversity and inequity. The result, at times, is racial tension. The new majority-minority status of America’s schools mirrors a change that is coming for the nation as a whole. The Census Bureau estimates that the country’s population will have more minorities than whites for the first time in 2043, a change due in part to higher birth rates among Hispanics

and a stagnating or declining birth rate among whites, blacks and Asians. Today, slightly more than 1 in 5 kids speaks a language other than English at home. But even as the population becomes more diverse, schools are becoming more racially segregated, reflecting U.S. housing patterns. Disparities are evident even in the youngest of black, Hispanic and Native American children, who on average enter kindergarten academically behind their white and Asian peers. They are more likely to attend failing schools and face harsher school discipline. Duncan said the disparities are unacceptable, and the country needs to make sure all students “have an opportunity to have a world class education, to do extraordinarily well.”

The Navy and NASA wrapped up the second round of practice recoveries of the Orion spacecraft, which is designed to bring humans to the moon, asteroids and, eventually, to Mars. The tests took place from Aug. 1 to Aug. 4 a few hundred miles off the coast of Mexico, where the Orion will splash down Dec. 4 after reaching an altitude of 3,600 miles. Crews practiced reeling a mockup spacecraft into the stern of the USS Anchorage. NASA’s program manager for the Orion, said the December mission will test the space capsule for an unmanned mission planned for 2017.

AROUND THE WORLD Canada: Fire aboard 777 An airport spokesman in Halifax, Nova Scotia, said a United Airlines Boeing 777 airliner on its way to Brussels from the U.S. made an emergency landing after a fire on the aircraft. The Halifax Airport Authority official said the fire was in a contained area and was extinguished before the landing Tuesday. He said the pilot of United Airlines Flight 999 decided to land at the nearest available airport. The plane with 233 people on board had been on a flight from Newark, New Jersey, to Brussels. No injuries were reported.

Germany: Comet chase Turning what seemed like science fiction into reality, an unmanned probe swung alongside a comet Wednesday after a 4-billion mile chase through outer space over the course of a decade. Europe’s Rosetta probe will orbit and study the giant lump of dust and ice as it hurtles toward the sun and, if all goes according to plan, drop a lander onto the comet in coming months. The trip, launched on March 2, 2004, marks a milestone in mankind’s effort to understand the mysterious “shooting stars” that periodically flash past Earth.

Libya: Militias take bases A group of extremist militias said it overran three more army bases in Benghazi and seized large amounts of heavy weapons, including armored vehicles, as they tighten their grip on the country’s second city. The Benghazi Revolutionary Shura Council, composed of militias like Ansar al-Shariah, posted pictures Wednesday of its leaders posing in front of tanks, multiple rocket launchers, and artillery they claimed to have seized from bases they overran.

Russia to ban U.S. food The nation may close its airspace to European carriers flying to Asia. Associated Press MOSCOW — Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday hit back hard against countries that have imposed sanctions over the Ukraine crisis, ordering trade cuts that an official said would include a ban on all imports of agricultural products from the United States. The full list of products to be banned or limited for up to one year is to be published Thursday. But the state news agency RIA Novosti quoted Alexei Alexeenko of Russia’s plant and veterinary oversight service as saying “from the USA, all products that are

produced there and brought to Russia will be prohibited.” Alexeenko also was quoted as saying he thinks all fruits and

vegetables from European Union countries also will be banned. The move follows the latest round of sanctions against Russia

imposed by the EU last week, which for the first time targeted entire sectors of the Russian economy. The U.S. and the EU have accused Russia, which annexed Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula in March, of fomenting tensions in eastern Ukraine by supplying arms and expertise to a pro-Moscow insurgency, and have imposed asset freezes and loan bans on a score of individuals and companies. White House spokeswoman Laura Lucas Magnuson decried the move, saying “Retaliating against Western companies or countries will deepen Russia’s international isolation, causing further damage to its own economy.” See FOOD, Page A8

Will robots take over our jobs? “We consistently underestimate the intelligence and complexity of human beings,” Microsoft researcher says. Associated Press WASHINGTON — In 2025, selfdriving cars could be the norm, people could have more leisure time and goods could become cheaper. Or, there could be chronic unemployment and an even wider income gap, human interaction could become a luxury and the wealthy could live in walled cities with robots serving as labor. Or, very little could change. A new survey released Wednesday by the Pew Research Center’s Internet Project and Elon University’s Imagining the Internet Center found that, when asked about the impact of artificial intelligence on jobs, nearly 1,900 experts and other respondents were divided over what to expect 11 years from now. Forty-eight percent said robots would kill more jobs than they create, and 52 percent said technology will create more jobs than it destroys. Respondents also varied widely when asked to elaborate on their expectations of jobs in the next decade. Some said that self-driving cars would be common, eliminating taxi cab and long-haul truck drivers. Some said that we should expect the wealthy to live in seclusion, using robot labor. Others were more

America has a new favorite nut. The country’s appetite for almonds has grown by more than 220 percent since 2005 — far faster than demand for pecans, walnuts, macadamias, pistachios, cashews or peanuts. The rise is even more startling when compared to the early 1970s, when the average American ate just over a quarter of a pound of almonds per year. Now they consume more than two pounds per year. America’s love affair with almonds is such that not even peanuts can compete anymore. In 2012 Americans ate more

Japan to buy Russian fuel despite sanctions Japan, dependent on imports for almost all its fuel, is pursuing natural gas projects and energy purchases in Russia despite new sanctions last week designed to punish Vladimir Putin and his associates. Japan won’t be keen on deeper sanctions that would curb its access to gas, oil and coal from Russia, said Will Pearson, a London-based director of Eurasia Group, an energy and natural resources consultant. “Japanese firms are very interested in accessing Russian natural resources, thanks to their proximity,” he said. Japan reportedly buys about 65 percent of the liquefied natural gas coming from Russia’s Sakhalin-2, a 9.6 million metric ton-a-year project.

Walgreen won’t try U.S. tax inversion Growing political heat and possible customer backlash helped dissuade Walgreen from trying to trim its tax bill by reorganizing overseas as part of an acquisition. But experts say they don’t expect other companies considering the move to follow Walgreen’s lead and stay rooted in the U.S. Walgreen, the nation’s biggest drugstore chain, said Wednesday that it would no longer consider a so-called inversion, which has become popular among large, multi-national health care companies looking to cut U.S. taxes. The company said it will instead combine with the Swiss health and beauty retailer Alliance Boots to form a holding company that’s based in the U.S.

conservative, cautioning that technology never moves quite as fast as people expect and humans aren’t so easily replaceable. “We consistently underestimate the intelligence and complexity of human beings,” said Jonathan Grudin, principal researcher at Microsoft, who recalls that 40 years ago, people said that advances in computercoding language were going to kill programming jobs. Even as technology removed jobs such as secretaries and operators, it created brand new

jobs, including Web marketing, Grudin said. And, as Grudin and other survey responders noted, 11 years isn’t much time for significant changes to take place, anyway. Aaron Smith, senior researcher with the Pew Research Center’s Internet Project, said the results were unusually divided. He noted that in similar Pew surveys about the Internet over the past 12 years, there tended to be general consensus among the respondents, which included research scientists and a range of

others, from business leaders to journalists. Respondents in this latest survey generally agreed that the education system is failing to teach the skills that students need for the future. Smith said some survey respondents criticized the system for promoting memorization of tasks rather than creativity, teaching a “Henry Ford education for a Mark Zuckerberg economy.” Also, Smith said, some See ROBOT, Page A8

almonds per capita than shelled and unshelled snack peanuts combined (not including peanut butter). The country’s growing almond obsession has a lot to do with the convergence of a number of popular health narratives and dietary preferences. Americans, for one, aren’t nearly as worried about fat intake as they once were. “Nuts were considered unhealthy due to their high fat content,” a 2011 report by the University of Michigan said. “However, this perception has changed over the past decade.” A national shift away from traditional sources of protein, like

The growing demand for healthy, but appetite-suppressing snacks, has helped, too — especially considering that nearly everyone in the country now snacks. There is also the rise of vegetarianism and veganism; a recent study found that more than 3 percent of American adults now follow a vegetarian diet. Almonds have also benefited from years of heavy marketing and scores of favorable

Chrysler remained on the comeback trail with a 22 percent second-quarter profit increase, but U.S. investors may not get a chance to buy shares of the company if a planned merger with Fiat gets scuttled. Shareholders of Fiat, the majority owner of Chrysler, overwhelmingly voted last week to merge the two companies. But on Wednesday, Fiat shares fell 5.5 percent in Italy due to concerns that the merger could be derailed by investor flight. Italian law gives dissenting shareholders the right to cash out. If they require the company to buy back stock worth more than 500 million euros, the merger is off.

Port OKs $1 billion in Sea-Tac projects The Port of Seattle is moving forward on nearly $1 billion worth of improvements at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The port commission on Tuesday approved a handful of new construction and maintenance projects that could last until the end of the decade. The projects include a new international arrivals complex, reconstructing the airport’s center runway, updating the decades-old north and south satellite terminals and building a bridge between the south satellite and international facility. The costs will be paid for by airline tenants. From Herald news services

THE DAY ON WALL STREET U.S. stocks stabilized Wednesday after earnings from a major beer brewer helped the market stem its recent declines. The stock market ended the day little changed after a sizable drop a day earlier, when Russia massed troops near its border with Ukraine. Molson Coors was the biggest gainer in the S&P 500 index after the company reported better-than-forecast earnings.

Drought could alter craft brew business Los Angeles Times When Lagunitas Brewing Co. fills its beer bottles, California’s Russian River provides the main ingredient. Lagunitas has become one of the fastestgrowing stars of California’s booming craft beer scene. But the Russian River is shrinking after three years of punishing drought. “We are at the maximum growth threshold here in California because of water,” said Leon Sharyon, chief financial officer for Lagunitas, which uses nearly 2 million gallons of river water a year at its brewery. Breweries run through an average of four to seven gallons of water to end up with one gallon of beer. With California in the midst of a water crisis, breweries are scrambling. California is home to more than 400 craft brewers — the most in the country. They sold $4.7 billion worth of beer in 2012, about 17 percent of the state’s total beer sales, according to the most recent statistics from the California Craft Brewers Association. Small brewers worry that they could have trouble meeting thriving demand with limited water. Prices could go up, they warn, if they have to spend for conservation measures or scrounge up new supplies.

Food From Page A7

Russia depends heavily on imported foodstuffs — most of it from the West — particularly in the largest and most prosperous cities such as Moscow. Food and agricultural imports from the U.S. amounted to $1.3 billion last year, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and in 2013 the EU’s agricultural exports to Russia totaled $15.8 billion. Putin’s order says the limits are being imposed “with the goal of guaranteeing the security of the Russian Federation” and calls for undertaking measures to guard against quick price increases. The order appears to show that Russia, although increasingly suffering the effects of Western sanctions, is

Our next plant will probably be out of state and next to a stable water supply. — Leon Sharyon, Lagunitas CFO

“If this drought continues for two, three more years, that could greatly impact the production and growth of our breweries,” said Tom McCormick, the association’s executive director. Lagunitas, for instance, just opened a major brewhouse in Chicago, where Lake Michigan stands ready to supply its water needs. The company is shifting some production there, Sharyon said, adding: “Our next plant will probably be out of state and next to a stable water supply.” The drought could have an outsized effect on craft brewers because small operators on average use twice as much water per barrel of beer than do large, traditional breweries. “It takes more water to make beer than it does to make water,” quipped Harry Schuhmacher, publisher of trade journal

disinclined to back down on Ukraine. Russia denies allegations that it is supporting the Ukrainian rebels or supplying them with equipment and has rejected claims that its artillery has been firing from across the border. As tensions over Ukraine rise, a respected newspaper this week cited unnamed sources as saying Russia is considering closing its airspace to European carriers flying to Asia. The report sent the stocks of some airlines sharply lower. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Wednesday said he wouldn’t comment on “rumors” of airspace being closed, but said “our Western partners should think about their companies and their citizens,” the Interfax news agency reported. Russia last week banned the import of apples and some other fruits from Poland, saying this was because of sanitary concerns, but raising speculation that the move was in retaliation for Poland’s support of the Ukrainian authorities.

Beer Business Daily. “Most won’t say it,” he explained, “but water is a major reason craft beer behemoths such as Sierra Nevada and New Belgium opened plants in Asheville,” on the western edge of North Carolina. “It’s no coincidence that big brewers are congregating around the Smoky Mountains’ substantial water supply.” Beer maker Evan Weinberg, cofounder of Cismontane Brewing Co. in Rancho Santa Margarita, said that if the state doesn’t get “a big influx of water soon,” he and other microbrewers are going to have “some serious issues.” “Small brewers waste more water than the big guys because our equipment is less efficient,” Weinberg said. The microbrewer produces 3,000 barrels of beer a year and gets its water delivered by the Santa Margarita Water District from Northern California sources and the Colorado River. The district enacted a voluntary 20 percent water reduction, but Weinberg is anxious that the district might make that mandatory. “If that happens, we will have to pass the cost of water onto the consumer; otherwise we will go out of business,” he said. “I hope people love our beer enough to pay a little more.” At Los Angeles’ City Tavern, General Manager Matt Meiers hasn’t had to

respondents concluded that jobs that don’t require specifically human traits — such as empathy, ingenuity or resourcefulness — are at risk for being replaced, including low-skill blue collar jobs or even white-collar jobs that have people performing repetitive tasks. Respondents offered a few theories about what might happen if artificial intelligence takes over some positions and fewer jobs are created. Judith Donath, a fellow at Harvard’s Berkman Center for Internet and Society, foresees chronic mass unemployment with the wealthy living in “walled cities, with robots providing the labor.” Some respondents see people returning to small-scale, handmade

increase prices yet. Meiers calculates if the drought goes another year, “beer drinkers will definitely feel it.” “If a microbrewer loses a water source that makes the beer what it is, that’s a problem,” he said. Like Lagunitas, Cloverdale’s Bear Republic gets its water from the Russian River, but strict regulations in its water district forced it to limit production, said Master Brewer Peter Kruger. “We have a water cap of 8 million gallons a year, and that’s really affected our growth,” Kruger said. Bear Republic is installing a waste water-filtration system and helped bankroll the construction of two wells. Plans to grow 35 percent this year were cut to 15 percent. Kruger said there are discussions about opening a brewery elsewhere with a “more stable water supply,” but that could alter the taste. “Our river’s mineral content creates really excellent beer, and we are afraid of losing that,” Kruger said. “We are praying it rains next winter.” The drought has pushed brewers of all sizes to conserve. MillerCoors has cut companywide water consumption 9.2 percent since 2012. Anheuser-Busch, with a sprawling plant in Van Nuys, has reduced companywide usage 32 percent since 2011.

production, and an appreciation would grow for products with the “human touch.” Others thought people could also face abundant leisure, allowing them to pursue their personal interests. Stowe Boyd, lead analyst on the future of work at Gigaom Research, said if, as he predicts, widespread joblessness comes to pass, humanity would have to confront its deeper purpose. “The fundamental question lurking behind all of this is ‘what are people for?’” Boyd said. For this survey, Pew posed closed- and open-ended questions to technology experts — researchers, futurist and tech developers — and other interested parties, including writers and business leaders, about how far they expect robots and artificial intelligence to grow, and what the impact will be on jobs by 2025. The study was not representative of a particular group of experts, only of those who chose to respond.

IN OUR VIEW | A Post-Primary Assessment

Some of the people have spoken “The people have spoken. Damn ’em,” the late Mo Udall said (Udall may have used more colorful language, but this is a family paper.) As of Wednesday night, 84,318 Snohomish County ballots out of 417,448 issued had been returned — a dismal 20 percent turnout. That number will tick up with 11th-hour voters who mailed their ballots Tuesday, but it’s dispiriting. In Island County, the return rate was less dreary at 36 percent. “Low-voter turnout in primaries equals low-media interest; and low-media interest reinforces low turnout the next primary season,” writes Elaine Kamarck of the Brookings Institution. More significantly, it magnifies existing political

divisions. “The low turnout and obscurity in which most congressional primaries take place makes them an easy, inexpensive place for factions within a political party to exercise influence and increase partisan polarization,” she writes. Kamarck’s analysis plays out in the First Congressional District, where first-term incumbent Suzan DelBene may face an underfunded insurgent Republican, Robert Sutherland. Party favorite Pedro Celis, a political novice like Sutherland, was unable to galvanize the Republican base (he still could squeak ahead as more returns trickle in.) Celis was the insider-annointed recruit: A first-generation Mexican-American who thrived at

Microsoft and whose sensible-center politics align with the gerrymandered district. But top-down, handpicked contenders lose traction in lowturnout primaries. In a three-candidate primary, Snohomish County Executive John Lovick managed a disappointing 47 percent, despite high name recognition and raising 10-to-1 more campaign dough than his opponents. Lovick, who has never lost an election, remains the favorite and could win simply by reminding voters of the integrity and spirit of renewal he’s brought to the executive’s office. Whatever the outcome, Lovick and his Republican opponent, Sultan Mayor Carolyn Eslick, should use the

coming weeks to foster a spirited debate regarding budget priorities, the new courthouse, economic development, criminal justice and a transportation-finance package. One race will be a nail-biter, the 44th district, Pos. 2, which pits Republican Mark Harmsworth against Democrat Mike Wilson. Harmsworth was leading by 286 votes on Wednesday. Washington’s open primary provides a vivid reminder that party affiliation still matters. In races in the 21st and 32nd legislative districts, where Republican candidates ran low-profile campaigns, the Republicans still made it through crowded primaries. Onward. The people have spoken. Some of them.

already exists.” It is blasphemy to suggest that anyone should vote against any incumbent that has served two terms, regardless whether that person is a Democrat or Republican. The Senate passed a comprehensive immigration bill many months ago, but the Boehner House of Representatives has failed to take up this legislation. The tea party wing of the Republican Party is to blame for lack of action. All John Boehner has to do is defy the tea party and bring this legislation to the floor of the House. It might surprise many that it would pass! There are many incumbents (Democrat and Republican) who are attempting to do their job and should be reelected. President Obama should not be blamed for the recent crisis on our southern border. Since the Republican Congress failed in two attempts to pass immigration crisis legislation, our president should take executive action to temporarily ease the crisis.

birds that drink from puddles and birdbaths. Mike had it right on about eating sleeping and pooping. They are growing so rapidly they have no energy for anything else for three or four weeks. The mother’s duty is to feed them, protect them from the rain and the sun with her wings spread over the chicks, sometimes for hours at a time, sheltering them, and the father’s duty is to bring home the fish. Each species of bird have their own way of eating, sleeping and pooping. The robins poop once a day and it comes out as a gelatinous sack and the parent picks it up and dumps it. The ospreys, eagles, etc., raise their little bottoms and shoot it over the side of the nest. So the next time you see a nest, you now know where the poop went.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■ECONOMY

Mortgage change one way to help As Mr. Davis noted in his Wednesday column “The jobs youth need are taken,” we have a serious problem with unemployment. The effects of the Great Recession will be felt for decades to come — imagine what’s going to happen to businesses that rely on given age groups for support when the poor youth of today become poor adults and poor elders, never catching up to where they should be. We need to do something about this — and so I offer this challenge to the entire banking industry: Start offering 90-year mortgages, with longer terms if necessary. You will receive an excellent return over time because of the interest rates, and we know that mortgages of this length can be done successfully. Your goal is to significantly reduce the cost of living by making it so that even people at lower wages (including parttime workers) can afford to own a decent house and still have money left over for other things. If we free up several hundred dollars a month for families within the state, we can expect to see that money spent on other things — giving businesses the money they need to start hiring again, providing funding for education, and generally strengthening our entire economy. This won’t solve every problem we have, but it will be a good start. At the very least, don’t you think it’s worth considering? James Eder Everett

Clearly, Hamas is set on genocide Regarding the two July 26 letters about the Mideast, “Victim details speak loudly” and “Israel right to do whatever it takes.”: The first letter has it backward in blaming Israel and accusing them of wanting to wipe out a race. It is Hamas that wants to wipe out the Jewish people. The second letter explained why the Palestinians have a higher death rate, which responds to a question in the first letter: “What did Hamas do and why? Hamas moved women and children into homes, schools and mosques from which they launched rockets and then blamed Israel for killing civilians.” And national TV reported that Hamas also is asking civilians to go into dangerous areas and houses as well as on rooftops. Why? Same reason, so they will get killed while Hamas hides in

Hamas wants to destroy the Jewish race, as have Stalin, Hitler, Arabs and other cultures. What was not mentioned is how Israel defensively uses the “Iron Dome,” which they learned about and obtained from the U. S. It is a system much like the Nike Ajax and Nike Hercules, that I worked with, that the U.S. used in the 1950s near cities and military sites in the U.S. and Canada to defend ourselves, if necessary, against Russia during those times. Iron Dome uses tracking radars on Hamas incoming and Israeli anti-missiles along with a computer to destroy the incoming missiles. It works. That is why the there is a difference in the death rates.

Great article right on the mark I really appreciated Mike Benbow’s wonderful, informative article on the osprey family and the stunning photography. (“Osprey life is fascinating but also brutal.”) The ospreys have simple roles but it takes teamwork to raise the chicks and constant vigilance of the parents to protect them. Ospreys are the bellwether markers of the local environment, as over 95 percent of their food is fish. Many studies are done on the drawing of blood from the chicks, testing for containments from the fish they consume when they are banded. It is very interesting to note that as these chicks are fed, they consume all the moisture their bodies need from the food they eat, unlike our little backyard

Our diversity is our edge

W

ASHINGTON — The unfriendly airwaves of talk radio this week gave us an inadvertently revealing moment. Rep. Mo Brooks of Alabama, a Republican immigration hard-liner and part of what The Wall Street Journal just branded “the GOP’s Deportation Caucus,” was giving his retort to the paper’s pro-business editorialists on Laura Ingraham’s radio show Monday: “They need to be patriots, and they need to think about America first,” Brooks said. America First? How 1940! The congressman went on to condemn those who say the Republican position on immigration is dooming the party by alienating Latinos. “This is a part of the war on whites that’s being launched by the Democratic Party,” Brooks said. “And the way in which they’re launching this war is by claiming that whites hate everybody else. It’s a part of the strategy that Barack Obama implemented in 2008, continued in 2012, where he divides us all on race, on sex, greed, envy, class warfare.” It was the battle cry of the white man, particularly the Southern white man, feeling besieged. I don’t share the fear, but I understand DANA MILBANK it. The United States is experiencing a rapid decoupling of race and nationality: Whiteness has less and less to do with being American. The Census Bureau forecasts that non-Hispanic whites, now slightly more than 60 percent of the population, will fall below 50 percent in 2043. Within 30 years, there will cease to be a racial majority in the United States. In a political sense, this is bad news for the GOP. But for the country, the disassociation of whiteness and American-ness is to be celebrated. Indeed, it is the key to our survival. This is not merely about a fresh labor supply but about the fresh blood needed to cure what ails us. To benefit from such a transfusion, we not only need to welcome more immigrants but also to adopt pieces of their culture lacking in our own — just as we have done with other (mostly European) cultures for centuries. This is the theme of my friend Eric Liu’s provocative new book, “A Chinaman’s Chance.” Liu writes about Chinese-Americans (Asians, as it happens, eclipsed Hispanics last year as the fastest-growing minority in the United States) but the thesis is similar for other immigrant cultures. Liu argues that the United States needn’t fear China’s rise because the Chinese have already given us the tools to beat them economically: their sons and daughters. “America has an enduring competitive advantage over China: America makes Chinese-Americans; China does not make American-Chinese,” Liu says. “China does not want to or know how to take people from around the world, welcome them, and empower them to change the very fabric of their nation’s culture.” Liu observes that American culture has an excess of individualism, short-term thinking and prioritizing of rights over duties. He calls for “a corrective dose” of Chinese values: mutual responsibility, long-term thinking, humility, moral character and contribution to society. “What Chinese culture at its best can bring to America is a better balance between being an individual and being in a community,” he writes, offering the example of Tony Hsieh, the TaiwaneseAmerican chief executive of Zappos who is pouring some $350 million into reviving downtown Las Vegas: “He’s an American gambler with a Chinese long view; he is supremely confident yet mainly silent; he has so little of the American need to sell himself, so little extroversion, that he jokes even his friends aren’t sure he likes them.” Part of Liu’s confidence that the U.S. will triumph over China is that his ancestral land, in modernizing, is losing some of the best aspects of Chinese culture — and acquiring our own excesses. He notes that, as the Chinese extended family frayed, the government enacted a law requiring adult children to visit their elderly parents — the sort of thing Chinese did voluntarily for millennia. China responds with edicts because it lacks the source of continuous adaptability and vitality that imported cultures give the United States. The inherent advantage in the American system will continue — if we don’t get hung up about whiteness. The tea party movement was a setback because it elevated extreme individualism over collective responsibilities and because it tapped into nativism and further undermined trust in institutions. Some tea partyers such as Brooks may never be able to leave the bunkers where they defend whiteness. But for other conservatives and Republicans — and, more importantly, for America — it’s not too late.

Farmer saved from grain bin

HEALTH NOTIFICATION

By Rick Callahan Associated Press

Are You Hard of Hearing?

INDIANAPOLIS — An 81-year-old Indiana farmer survived the crushing grip of an avalanche of corn inside a grain bin in part because he’s “10 times tougher than the average guy,” one of his relieved sons said Wednesday. Bill White was saved Monday afternoon by fast-thinking relatives and farmhands who drove plywood boards into the corn around him and dug him out enough to give him oxygen and keep him breathing. They then wrapped a sheet beneath his arms and around his chest and pulled. The 40-minute rescue ended when he finally emerged from the grain. He was initially taken to a local hospital, but airlifted to an Indianapolis hospital after he began coughing up blood, apparently from the pressure of that much corn on his chest, said son Steve

White, 46. After leaving the hospital Tuesday, Bill White eagerly returned to work Wednesday, helping troubleshoot a problematic irrigation system on his family farm near Switz City, some 60 miles southwest of Indianapolis. “My dad, he’s 81 years old, but he’s 10 times tougher than the average guy. He’s one of the toughest guys I’ve ever seen,” Steve White said Wednesday afternoon, adding that his father is feeling fine aside from some respiratory troubles. Bill White would rather not discuss his ordeal, but said Wednesday the incident is reminder about the dangers of grain bins. He said he’s glad to be back at work and “pulling my weight.” “I’m like a caged animal if I’m not doing something. I don’t like to golf and I don’t like to fish, so I’m back out here at it,” said White, who’s been married 61 years to his wife, Phyllis.

The family patriarch was helping farmhand David Dinn clear out corn that had become wet and was clogging the inside of the 100-foot-tall, 63-foot diameter grain bin. When Dinn stepped away momentarily, Bill White entered a ground-level door to remove more of the grain and was suddenly buried. The grain cascaded down a pile sloped at about a 75-degree angle in two waves, Steve White said, burying his father first up to his chest and then swallowing nearly all of him. Jordan, Jakeb and their dad are all members of the local fire department and have been trained in grain bin rescues — training that helped save Bill White. Steve Wettschurack, a grain bin safety specialist at Purdue University, said the pressure of grain adds about 365 pounds to the weight of someone trapped in grain, making extricating them extremely difficult.

make it tougher for them to win convictions on both counts. Berry, 26, worked as a dancer at Honey’s, a nude nightclub that used to be along Highway 99 north of Lynnwood. She encountered her killer on July 31, 1995, after heading home from work. Brazzel disappeared May 27, 1995. The hairstylist, 22, was last seen at a pub south of Everett along Highway 99, according to police. Brazzel’s body has never been found. Berry was repeatedly stabbed and dumped in the woods south of the Everett Mall. A convicted rapist, Giles, 46, has spent much of his life cycling in an out of prison. He was not a suspect in either case until 2008, when genetic tests yielded a match, first on the steering wheel of Berry’s car and later on a spot that had been collected from the exterior of Brazzel’s vehicle. The state crime lab calculated the statistical probability of a random DNA match to Giles in the Berry case at 1 in 580 million, and 1 in 56 quadrillion

in the Brazzel case, according to court papers. He was charged with two counts of first-degree murder in 2012. Trial is now scheduled for September and Giles’ attorneys argued that “catastrophic prejudice” would occur if the jury heard evidence on both counts. Neal Friedman, the county’s longest-serving public defender, argued prosecutors were trying to prop up two weak cases by offering them as a matched set. Deputy prosecutor Craig Matheson countered that both cases were strong, just in different ways. Weiss on Wednesday said he disagreed with both sides. He characterized the evidence in the Berry case as “strong” but said the strength of the case is only “medium at best” for Brazzel. Moreover, the alleged links between the two cases were revealed to be based on theories or speculation — not facts that could be weighed by jurors, the judge said. Weiss’ ruling means that two murder trials will need to be scheduled, both expected to last several weeks. Matheson told the

judge trying them back to back may not be possible because other cases are scheduled. After the hearing, he said prosecutors and detectives will have to confer before deciding their next steps, including which case to bring Giles to trial on first. No decisions are expected before next week. Giles’ criminal record includes the 1987 rape of a woman attacked while she was using a Lynnwood tanning bed, plus a string of other crimes against women and girls starting in his teens. By severing the murder cases, he now is at risk of amassing three “strikes,” and an automatic life sentence should he be convicted, Weiss said. Friedman told the judge he didn’t think that likely, but Weiss said he wanted a record made that Giles fully understands his legal predicament. After the hearing, Friedman said the judge had made the correct decision. “It was the proper ruling based on the law and it will enable Danny to have a fair trial,” he said.

Many still can’t use state’s health plan Technicians have been scrambling to solve the online exchange’s glitches. By Donna Gordon Blankinship Associated Press

SEATTLE — Seven months after major glitches in the Washington health exchange were discovered, authorities acknowledge that thousands of state residents still don’t have insurance they can use to go to the doctor or fill a prescription. Although some problems have been resolved during the past few weeks, new issues also have come to light in Washington’s implementation of the federal health

care overhaul. “I know we’re only looking at a small portion of the problems,” said state Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler. His office does not have authority over the exchange but that hasn’t stopped consumers from calling him to complain. Kreidler said he’s giving the exchange one more month to fix the problems or he will take what action he can to help the people of Washington who want health insurance. “I’ve got my fingers crossed” the problems will be resolved this month, he added. If not, he will open a special enrollment period for anyone who wants to give up on the exchange and buy insurance through outside brokers and insurance agents.

No one could give The Associated Press the exact number of people affected by billing problems at the health exchange. Hundreds of known problems are being resolved every day, said exchange spokesman Michael Marchand. He estimates 4 to 6 percent of the 164,000 who bought insurance through the exchange have been affected by billing problems. An average of 2,500 accounts have had their problems solved each month, according to the exchange. But people who purchased insurance through Washington Healthplanfinder but haven’t been to the doctor might not know they have a problem, an insurance company spokeswoman said this week. Melanie Coon of Premera Blue

Cross, which has sold more policies on the exchange than any other insurance company in the state, could not say exactly how many of Premera’s customers are having problems. She advised people who have questions about their insurance status to call the company and check. If there is a problem, however, Premera might not be able to fix it. “I don’t want to create an unrealistic expectation that we can resolve their problem,” she said. Most problems still need to be fixed by people at the Washington insurance exchange. An official at the governor’s office said he’s just starting to see some progress, because everyone is literally sitting at the same table working together to tackle the problems at the exchange.

Dr. Bob Crittendon, the governor’s senior health care policy adviser, said insurance company representatives spent most of last week meeting with technical people at the exchange and at Deloitte, the company that created the software to run the exchange, to get a handle on the problems and start to resolve them. “From top to bottom, everyone is trying,” Crittendon said this week. “I would like to say that we have it resolved, but we don’t.” Crittendon added, however, that he is tentatively optimistic that many of the billing issues will be resolved by the end of August. The difficult part is that there are multiple problems in the exchange’s billing system and one software fix is not going to make a dent, he added.

NW apple growers need more pickers YAKIMA, Wash. — The Washington Farm Labor Association says a backlog of visa applications could leave the state without enough guest workers for the apple harvest. Association Director Dan Fazio says farmers in the Northwest are seeking about 1,500 new worker visas for the apple and pear harvests. They will join about 7,000 guest workers already in the state. The Yakima Herald-Republic reports the apple harvest started this week in the Yakima Valley for some early varieties.

The broken prepare to fly free Juvenile offenders find strength and healing while volunteering at a raptor rehab center. By Jane Gargas Yakima Herald-Republic

SELAH — Wounded birds — wings damaged, ability to fly curtailed — can be healed. People, too. They can fight back to strength, become whole again and take wing. For Natasha Shintar, who is working toward freedom herself, she’s landed in a hopeful place. She’s volunteering four hours a week at the Raptor House Rehabilitation Center in Selah, which has been nursing injured hawks, falcons and other birds of prey back to health for the past 17 years.

Shintar empties and cleans cages, feeds the birds as well as a snake and horses, freshens water and helps in training exercises. The 19-year-old doesn’t view her time as a chore. For one thing, she gets to interact with golden and bald eagles, Swainson’s hawks, Great Horned owls and a turkey vulture. “I like seeing all different birds and types I haven’t seen before,” she explains. Many birds end up at the Raptor House for mending, such as an owl who lost his feathers or a gaunt baby hawk who wasn’t getting enough food in the nest. Shintar can relate to the work they have to do to turn themselves around. She’s volunteering at the raptor house as part of a state rehabilitation program for juvenile offenders. This is the final leg before she’s no longer under sentencing and can go free.

Several years ago, Shintar, who grew up in Bellingham, was arrested for assault. “I don’t remember doing it,” she says. “I was in the wrong place at the wrong time.” Now, she says, she’s in the right place. After spending two years in jail, Shintar was released a year ago to live in the Ridgeview Community Facility in Yakima, the only group home for female juvenile offenders in the state. She’ll be free to leave in four months. “Getting incarcerated was the best thing that happened to me,” Shintar maintains. “I started fresh. I started over.” She admits she was using drugs and alcohol when she was arrested, but, now, “I like being sober better.” Part of the requirement for Ridgeview residents is spending four hours a week performing community service.

“I’d do it even if I didn’t have to,” Shintar says. She’s an animal person and also works full time at the Yakima Humane Society. Michelle Sheahan, juvenile rehabilitation supervisor, says one facet of the state program is teaching social skills to prepare the girls to be successful in work or school. “We look at their lives and skills and build on them,” she says. In addition to performing chores at the Raptor House, Ridgeview girls have picked up litter, collected canned goods for food banks and served meals at the Union Gospel Mission. The girls particularly enjoy connecting with people and animals, Sheahan says. “You put them in the position of helping someone else, they’re not used to that, and they love it. They’re making an impact. When they interact with someone, they get it, they like it.”

GRANTS PASS — Officials at Crater Lake National Park are wondering what happened to a backpacker who eluded a ranger after scrambling down the caldera wall of the ancient volcano. They don’t want to prosecute the man, they just want to make sure he is OK, spokeswoman Marsha McCabe said Wednesday. Searchers came up with only a pair of sunglasses. The hiker apparently continued along the Pacific Crest Trail. He was described as a white man about 40 years old, about 5-foot-10, 150 pounds, with long dirty blond hair and a full beard. One arm had a sleeve tattoo.

Oregon bans medical pot for day care SALEM — The owners of four Oregon home-based day care centers will have to give up their medical marijuana cards or lose their licenses to care for children. A state board voted unanimously Wednesday to revoke permission given to a handful of day care owners, who were allowed to use the drug under certain restrictions. Advocates of the medicinal pot program objected, saying child care providers aren’t prohibited from using medications, including narcotics. From Herald news services

Missing girl’s father had previous molestation charge She disappeared on Saturday, but her parents didn’t report her missing until Sunday. By Phuong Le Associated Press

SEATTLE — The father of a missing 6-year-old Washington state girl was charged more than a decade ago with molesting two girls, ages 8 and 15, according to court records. James Wright, whose daughter went missing over the weekend, pleaded guilty in December 2001 to a misdemeanor assault

FBI / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Jenise Paulette Wright

charge related to the older girl. It was not immediately clear why the molestation charges were dropped. Prosecutors in Whatcom County did not immediately return a call Wednesday. A judge in Whatcom County

Superior Court sentenced Wright to a year in jail but suspended the entire jail time provided he followed certain conditions, including paying fees. A listed number for James Wright could not be found. The Bellingham defense attorney who represented him on the previous charges did not immediately return a call or email. Authorities searching for the girl are aware of the charge, which happened in a different county, Kitsap County sheriff’s Deputy Scott Wilson said during a news briefing Wednesday. “That has nothing to do with this investigation,” he said, adding officers are focused on

finding Jenise Wright. Wilson said the parents have cooperated with the search for the girl. They said they last saw her Saturday night at her home in the Steele Creek mobile home park near Bremerton, but didn’t report her missing until Sunday because she had left the home on previous occasions and wandered around the neighborhood. They felt it was relatively safe because the mobile home park is fenced. The parents took FBI liedetector tests Monday night, but the results have not been disclosed. Their home was also searched twice by different sets of authorities, Wilson said

Wednesday. According to court records, the girl’s father was charged with first-degree child molestation in February 2000 for molesting an 8-year-old girl following a New Year’s Eve celebration. The girl told a detective and social worker that he inappropriately touched her. More than a year later, in June 2001, the charges were amended to include third-degree child molestation after a 15-year-old girl who was babysitting the girl during New Year’s Eve 2000 said that Wright touched her breasts and put his hands down her pants, according to court documents.

Mariners sweep Braves

Ready for the next challenge

Morrison’s blast a big boost for Seattle in 7-3 victory over Atlanta. By Bob Dutton

Pacific Little League players confident, relaxed for semifinal

The News Tribune

SEATTLE — Logan Morrison was the only Mariners player who, prior to Wednesday afternoon, had ever faced Atlanta starter Julio Teheran. And that seemed like an advantage until he struck out in his first at-bat. “I had to go back and look at the video,” Morrison said, “because I didn’t know what he struck me out on. I didn’t know what it was. I didn’t see spin. Nothing. “The first pitch in the second at-bat, the same thing. I was like, ‘Oh, that’s a fastball ... no, it’s a change-up.’ I fouled it off. I was telling myself to see it, take the same aggressive swing. I did and ran into it.” That “it” turned into a threerun homer that capped a four-run third inning and carried the Mariners to a 7-3 victory over the slumping Braves and a sweep of their two-game series at Safeco Field. Morrison’s first homer since July 11 followed a leadoff homer earlier in the inning by Dustin Ackley and came after the Braves had taken a brief 3-1 lead in the top of the third against Mariners starter Chris Young. “I think that was big to grab the momentum back,” manager Lloyd McClendon said. “We haven’t done that a lot. The big guy (Young) got us through the fifth, and we were able to get to the bullpen. “He gave us five. He got a victory, and he deserves one of those.” Young (10-6) lasted just five innings before five relievers combined to hold Atlanta scoreless over the final four innings. The Braves have lost eight in a row. See M’S, Page C3

Seattle’s Logan Morrison is congratulated in the dugout after hitting a three-run home run in the third inning that gave Seattle a 5-3 lead and put the Mariners ahead for good in the game. Seattle went on to defeat Atlanta 7-3 and sweep the two-game series with the Braves, who lost their eighth consecutive game.

Golfing experience on Hat Island a diamond in the rough Project Fairway Bruce Overstreet is the author of the “Second Wind” blog on www.heraldnet. com. He describes himself as “an average 50-plus-year-old who desires to stay active as he ages.” He’s made a commitment to get out on the golf course as often as possible this summer in order to see if a golfing neophyte can qualify for next year’s Snohomish County Amateur Championship. He plans to travel around to various county golf courses, pick up pointers from the course pros, and then play a round. He will report on his progress periodically in pages of The Herald as he attempts to earn a 20.8 handicap, which would make him eligible for the 2015 County Am.

hen Don Levin’s motorboat left the Everett Marina heading for Hat Island recently, I felt the impulse to sing the “Gilligan’s Island” theme song so many of us know from our youth. It was one of those sunny afternoons on Puget Sound. And yet, even on gorgeous Pacific Northwest summer days, when it comes to my golf game, one never knows when the tempest is going to raise its ugly head. So just sit right back and you’ll read a tale, a tale of a rather eventful trip that started aboard a tiny ship.

In fact, according to Levin, there’s not even a need for law enforcement on Hat Island so even stop signs are seen as mere suggestions for those touring the dirt roads in their beater vehicles or ATVs.

TONIGHT’S GAME Atlanta at Seattle, 7 p.m.

TV: LiveWell(cable) Radio: none

Scouting Report The Storm will try to keep their playoff hopes alive tonight when the Atlanta Dream visit KeyArena, the second meeting of the season for the two teams. The Dream own the best record (17-11) in the WNBA’s Eastern Conference. The Storm lost 80-69 on the road to Atlanta earlier this season. Seattle trails both San Antonio and Los Angeles by 3½ games in the Western Conference. Phoenix and Minnesota already have clinched playoff berths, and barring a major collapse, the Stars and Sparks are likely to take the other two spots. The Storm stayed alive in their quest for an 11th consecutive postseason appearance by ending a seven-game losing streak on Sunday with a home victory over the Stars. Beating the Dream won’t be easy. Atlanta has represented the east in the WNBA Finals in three of the past four seasons. MVP-candidate Angel McCoughtry averages 19.9 points, 5.4 rebounds and four assists per game for the Dream, and leads four players averaging at least 12.5 points per game for the defending Eastern Conference champs. — Aaron Lommers, Herald Writer

f you’ve ever wanted to take a charter salmon fishing trip off the coast, now would be a good time. Not only are there more salmon heading toward the Columbia River than there have been in decades, but August on the ocean means better weather and flatter water ­— the latter an important consideration for those inclined toward motion sickness. Fishing off the mouth of the Columbia, out of Ilwaco, has been “on fire” for the past couple of weeks, according to Wendy Beeghley, coastal sampling coordinator for the state Department of Fish and Wildlife. “Some of the charters have been coming back with limits by seven in the morning, and there’s no long run involved; the fish are holding just across the bar,” Beeghley said. “The creel checks have been running 1.5 to 1.7 fish per rod.” Most of those Ilwaco fish are coho, but Beeghley said chinook are starting to show, part of a huge run of fall kings forecast for the Columbia. And the coho are running larger than normal, averaging 7-8 pounds but with a scattering of big ’uns to 12 pounds or better. Westport isn’t far behind Ilwaco, Beeghley said, with a higher percentage of 12- to 15-pound chinook in the bag. Charters there, however, have been running 20 to 25 miles for their fish. Albacore are another possibility. Beeghley said the tuna showed up early this year and are being taken some 35 miles off the coast — an easy charter trip and even within range of the larger private boats. The non-charter anglers averaged about six albacore per rod, and the fish are going 12 to 15 pounds with

There’s an interesting mix of salmon fishing available in the Sekiu area of the Strait of Juan de Fuca right now — some kings still going through; a strong, early showing of nice coho, and a scattering of bonus sockeye. And if you have goldilocks, so much the better. Goldilocks? Tara Hergert at Olson’s Resort in Sekiu described the hoochie as gold, with metal-flake glitter, and said the commercial trollers off the coast have had some success with the old/new lure this year. A fair percentage of sport fishermen in the area are giving it a try as well, she said. Kelly Morrison at Silver Horde in Lynnwood said the gold hoochie has been around for probably 50

a few topping 20. And another interesting fact: There have been a few bluefin tuna hanging out with the albacore — an unusual occurrence in this part of the Pacific. These aren’t the giant bluefin of the East Coast, the slabs weighing hundreds of pounds and bringing thousands of dollars at the Tokyo fish markets as sushi on the hoof.

Buoy 10 Speaking of Columbia River salmon, the popular buoy 10 fishery on the bottom end of the big river opened Friday to better than usual fishing. Normally it starts slowly, not really getting underway until the middle of the month, but state creel checks over the weekend showed good results from the get-go. State biologist Joe Hymer in the agency’s Vancouver office said boat anglers averaged close to a salmon kept per boat, with chinook comprising better than 60 percent of the catch. On Saturday, 118 fishermen kept 31 kings and 25 coho, and on Sunday,

years, and is one of those lures that resurfaces every now and then, particularly during a good chinook run. A check Sunday by state Department of Fish and Wildlife Department personnel at Olson’s tallied 165 anglers with 32 chinook and 105 coho. That many coho, this early, surprised some people, Hergert said. The coho are being taken in about 300 feet of water, 50 feet down, she said, adding that probably better than 50 percent of the chinook being hooked are wild fish. Try bait, Coho Killer or Kingfisher spoons in various shades of green, or hoochies. — Wayne Kruse 126 anglers kept 33 chinook and eight coho. Some 225 boats were counted in the fishery on Saturday morning, Hymer said.

Steelhead The Cowlitz and the mainstem Columbia remain the top spots in the state for summer steelhead. On the Cowlitz, fishing has been good for a mix of steelhead and chinook at the barrier dam, and steelhead around the trout hatchery. Boat anglers at Drano Lake on the Columbia were checked last week with 1.3 steelhead per rod. However, three-quarters of the fish were wild and had to be released. Good fishing also was reported off the mouth of the White Salmon River. The state, by the way, has decided to “recycle” Cowlitz summer steelhead again this year, and hauled 199 fish to the I-5 boat launch last week.

Sockeye The numbers don’t look great for the Baker Lake sockeye run at this point in the season, and state biologist Brett Barkdull said he doesn’t expect it to reach the forecast of 35,000 fish. As of Sunday, the total number of fish trapped at Lower Baker Dam was a little over 13,000, with 6,500 transferred to Baker Lake. No new sockeye have been trucked to the lake for several days now. On the other hand, fishing has been at least fair at times, and Barkdull said the run isn’t over. He said he expects perhaps another 1,000 fish at the trap, most of which will go into the lake now that broodstock has been taken.

At Lake Wenatchee, a much larger run than expected has provided good fishing, shifting more and more to the upper end of the lake and the mouths of the tributary rivers. State biologist Travis Maitland in Wenatchee said the most recent count at Tumwater Dam on the Wenatchee River brought the total up to about 74,000 fish, an incredible number of sockeye in the lake and well above preseason estimates. “We could easily see a run of 90,000 fish before it’s over,” Maitland said. The fish are still in excellent condition, he said, and with that many available, the season almost certainly will not be closed, but will die a slow death toward the end of August or early September as the salmon start to darken and head up the tributaries. Mike Chamberlain at Ted’s Sport Center in Lynnwood said those with fish locaters might want to stay downlake instead of the upper end, looking for schools fresh in from the river. “Some of our customers have done well that way, and they feel the fresher fish are a lot more aggressive biters,” he said. On up the Columbia, at Brewster, the “thermal barrier” at the mouth of the Okanogan re-established itself and sockeye are once again holding in the cooler Columbia water of the Brewster pool. “That should provide good fishing through the tail end of the Okanogan run,” Maitland said.

Puget Sound The best fishing over the weekend was on the east end of the Strait, and down the east side of the Kitsap Peninsula in the Kingston area. Checks at Olson’s Resort in Sekiu on Sunday showed 165 anglers with 32 chinook and 105 coho; and at the Kingston ramp, also on Sunday, 120 anglers with 13 chinook and eight coho. Fair fishing was the rule out of Everett, where a Saturday check tallied 384 fishermen with 20 chinook and four coho. The San Juans didn’t show as well, with checks Saturday at the Washington Park in Anacortes showing 31 anglers with two chinook, and 35 anglers at the Cornet Bay ramp with two chinook and one coho. Mike Chamberlain in Lynnwood said reports indicate the best local fishing over the weekend was from Point No Point south toward Jefferson Head, but that a few nice fish had been taken in the Richmond Beach area.

Club pros ‘living on a prayer’ in PGA Championship By Jim Litke Associated Press

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Golf could do itself a favor this week by fussing less over Tiger Woods and more over Rob Corcoran. Corcoran is a 38-year-old club pro whose story is only too familiar to the 19 other members of his fraternity who earned a spot alongside the tour pros in this year’s PGA Championship field. Any one of them will be lucky to stick around until Sunday. Nearly all of them were sure they’d get here one day — just a lot sooner. Instead they wound up giving lessons, selling clubs and clothes in the pro shop and looking after everything required to run a golf club, from the food in the kitchen to the balls on the range. In the time left over, they work on their own games and play mini-tour events, in search of small victories or to gauge their slimmer-by-the-day prospects of moving up to the big time. Corcoran did — and still does — all of those things five months out of the year. Where his story veers off from the rest of the clubpro pack is where he does it: at the Poxabogue Golf Center, a nine-hole public course that sits alongside the Montauk Highway on Long Island, New York, and in the shadow of three of the best

Today through Sunday Valhalla Golf Club, Louisville, Ky. (7,458 yards, par 71)

On Television TNT — Today & Friday, 10 a.m.-4 p.m.; Saturday & Sunday, 8 a.m.-11 a.m. CBS — Saturday & Sunday, 11 a.m.-4 p.m.

and most exclusive private clubs in America. If the folks who run golf are serious about growing the game, about making it fun and accessible for beginners, and keeping them involved, Poxabogue (Pox-abahg’) might just be ground zero. “We’ve got a driving range, six par-3s and three par 4s; one goes straight, one doglegs left, and the other is a dogleg right. A lot of the lessons I give,” Corcoran said, smiling, “usually include me having to explain what a dogleg is.” That’s not the case at nearby Shinnecock Hills, the National Golf Links or Maidstone, though at least a few of Corcoran’s students — rocker Jon Bon Jovi and his son, Jake, as well as Fox news anchor Bill Hemmer — bring some star

power to the links. On the other hand, Poxabogue costs $28 for the first nine holes and $11 for a replay. It measures about 1,600 yards and even though there are no motorized carts, golfers regularly get around in less than 90 minutes. Don’t even ask about the dress code. “People call because they’re coming from the beach,” Corcoran said. “I tell them, ‘As long as you’re wearing clothes, it’s OK. Tank tops, swimsuits, flip-flops ... but the only item you really need is a hard hat. You hear ‘Fore!’ there a lot.” Corcoran warmed up on the practice range next to Adam Scott and almost pinched himself. He played a practice round Tuesday with Jim Furyk, in large part because his caddy and close pal, Rob Sullivan, played at UCLA and crossed paths with Furyk when he was at Arizona. “You know the joke, ‘If you want to play golf for a living, don’t be a golf pro?”’ Furyk laughed. “Well, it’s true partly because these guys have to wear so many different hats. Some guys have the talent, some guys get tired of the gypsy lifestyle — the reasons they don’t make it out here runs the gamut.” Corcoran isn’t sure which category he falls into, only that roughly 10 years ago — after trying his luck in South America, Canada

and “just about every mini-tour in America” — he realized his best chance to stay in the game was as a teacher. Now in his fourth season at Poxabogue, he spends the winters in Florida giving the occasional lesson and working on his own game, still trying to catch lightning in a bottle. Earlier this year, he had reason to believe he was close. When Poxabogue golf director Steven Lee asked Corcoran for a list of tournaments he’d be playing to map out a schedule, it included “August 4-10, PGA Championship at Valhalla.” “I’m not sure my boss thought it was possible,” he recalled. “I said, ‘This IS my schedule.”’ A tie for 12th in National Club Pro Championship at Myrtle Beach officially guaranteed his spot in the PGA field. But to get to the finals of that event, Corcoran had to follow up an opening-round 73 with a 61 in sectional qualifying to advance. Between those rounds, he called his father, Bob, to tell him all those months in Florida were about to pay off. On Tuesday, Bob and Mary Corcoran arrived, in time to follow him preparing to tackle Valhalla. As he stepped off the ninth green, Corcoran scanned the crowd for his folks. “I just hope,” he said, “they’re not off somewhere trying to get autographs.”

Overstreet: Had Hat Island golf course pretty much to ourselves From Page C1

around to ensure that we were paying customers and with just a pair of twosomes spotted on the entire course, the Hat Island golfing experience is one of those diamonds in the rough. Granted the greens may be a little “fuzzy,” as Levin described them, but that’s also part of that Hat Island experience. And by the fourth hole, I had a pretty good feel for how much “oomph” I needed to apply to the putter. It was at about that point that Levin, an 8-handicapper, showed little interest in doing anything other than avoiding having his rather inexperienced golfing wife,

yet an extremely athletic woman, top his score on any hole and went sans shirt. Whether he did this to distract his wife or simply to enjoy the sun and the fact that there were no other golfers around to be disturbed by the sight, I couldn’t determine. But on how many golf courses in the county do you even dare to go shirtless? Only on Hat Island. Except for a couple token sandbox-sized sand traps and the “fuzzy” greens, Hat Island Golf Course played like most courses I have explored this summer. Some thick rough laced with nettles on a few of the holes kept us from venturing too far in to retrieve a deeply embedded ball. However,

it’s the only course I know of where only recyclables (read: mainly beer cans) are collected; other garbage must be personally carted off the island. Playing golf on a secluded island with two very good athletes who just happen to be married to each other makes for some comical dynamics. At one point, Jo put her second shot on the edge of the No. 6 green. Her husband, meanwhile, was facing a challenging pitching wedge third shot. At that point, Jo, 55, turned to Don and claimed that this was the hole where she would come out on top (talk about a competitive streak), to which Don reminded her that, “It’s far from over.” Sure enough, an

impressive chip shot and a steely putt kept Levin’s wife from having the right to gloat over her husband. As for my game, the loft on my approach shots is becoming more consistent. But it’s the mental letdowns that are inflating my score. Except for No. 5, I played steady bogey-plus golf to finish with a 47. After our relaxing round of golf, we enjoyed lunch at the Levin’s beach home before heading back on the ATVs to the reality of the fast-paced mainland life. I thought about Hat Island being as primitive as it is and I commented to Levin that except for the foliage, this really could pass for a tropical island. One where a golfing Gilligan might not mind getting stranded.

Saunders starts rehab assignment

TODAY’S GAME

Chicago White Sox at Seattle, 7:10 p.m. TV: ROOT (cable) Radio: KTTH (770 AM), KVI (570 AM) Probable starting pitchers: Mariners left-hander Roenis Elias (8-9, 4.19 ERA) vs. right-hander Scott Carroll (4-6, 4.36).

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

SEATTLE — Plans call for Seattle Mariners outfielder Michael Saunders to start a rehab assignment Thursday at Triple-A Tacoma when the Rainiers open a five-game series against Fresno at Cheney Stadium. “He’ll DH to start with,” Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon said. “We’ll try to get him five, six or seven (innings).” Saunders suffered a strained left oblique on a swing in a July 10 game at Minnesota. He was batting .276 with six homers and 28 RBI in 65 games while compiling a .327 on-base percentage and a .434 slugging percentage. How soon could he return? “It depends on his physical capabilities,” McClendon said. “How he bounces back. But he’s got to be swinging well. I don’t want you wasting at-bats here. If you’re going to waste them, waste them in a rehab start.”

Bloomquist evaluating options Injured utilityman Willie Bloomquist is seeking additional medical evaluations in an effort to determine why he is recovering slowly from a bruised right knee. Bloomquist suffered the injury July 23 and admitted Tuesday that he’s not yet close to be able to jog. McClendon acknowledged Bloomquist isn’t likely to be ready for active duty in the near future. “Not good,” McClendon said. “He’s getting his second opinion. There’s a chance he may have to do something to get it taken care of. He just has not progressed to the point where we think he’s going to be ready any time soon.” That “something,” McClendon said, could include arthroscopic surgery or extended rest.

M’s pitcher improves to 10-6, first time in eight years he has reached double figures in victories By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

SEATTLE — Veteran Seattle Mariners right-hander Chris Young, who endured years of shoulder miseries, placed no importance Wednesday in reaching double figures in victories for the first time in eight years. Young improved to 10-6 when the bullpen worked four scoreless innings in closing out a 7-3 victory over Atlanta at Safeco Field. “Maybe early in my career,”

he said, “that is something I’d get excited about. But at this point ... wins are so far beyond a pitcher’s control. “To evaluate your season based on wins or losses ... you can’t caught up in wins and losses as a starting pitcher. One day, the media will stop evaluating us on that.” That latter line, characteristically, was delivered gently with a smile. The Mariners are quick to point to Young’s importance. “He’s been a Godsend to this rotation,” manager Lloyd

McClendon said. “Not only has he given us innings. He’s given us a nice veteran presence.” The Mariners didn’t acquire Young until March 27 when they signed him as a free agent in a scramble to replace veteran lefty Randy Wolf in an injurydepleted rotation. Wolf’s refusal to sign an advance-consent clause regarding his contract prompted the Mariners to release him. Young agreed to the clause as a opportunity to test his recovery from his latest surgery.

Rookie shortstop Chris Taylor, for now anyway, appears to have grabbed hold of a starting job. He has hits in all eight of his starts and has displayed sound defense. “He’s performing well,” McClendon said. “He’s swinging the bat well. He’s playing solid defense. Brad (Miller) will get in there from time to time but, right, now, Taylor is going to play a little bit more.” Taylor is batting .367 after going 1-for-2 with a walk and a sacrifice fly in Wednesday’s 7-3 victory over the Braves. He has started eight of 12 games since his July 24 promotion from Tacoma, where he batted .328 in 75 games. Miller is batting .199 with eight homers and 26 RBI in 90 games.

King’s numbers Felix Hernandez added to his major-league record in Tuesday’s 4-2 victory over the Braves by pitching at least seven innings for a 15th straight start while allowing two or fewer runs. That’s two games longer than Tom Seaver’s previous record of 13 straight starts in 1971 for the New York Mets. Hernandez also tied a majorleague record set in 1974 by Gaylord Perry in holding an opponent to two or fewer earned runs in 15 straight starts while pitching at least seven innings.

Looking back It was five years ago Thursday — Aug. 7, 2009 — that Ken Griffey Jr. punctuated Ken Griffey Jr. Bobblehead Night by hitting his 623rd career homer in a 7-6 victory over Tampa Bay in 11 innings at Safeco Field. That game was also notable because: ■ Right fielder Ichiro Suzuki went 2-for-5 for the 603rd multi-hit game in what was then the ninth season of his career. That broke Rogers Hornsby’s record for a nine-year span since the end of the Dead Ball Era (1920). ■ Ryan Langerhans won the game with a two-out, two-strike, two-run homer in the 11th against reliever J.P. Howell after the Rays took a one-run lead in the top of the inning on a Jason Bartlett homer against Shawn Kelley.

On tap The Mariners open a four-game weekend series against the Chicago White Sox at 7:10 p.m. Thursday at Safeco Field. Rookie left-hander Roenis Elias (8-9 with a 4.19 ERA) will oppose Chicago right-hander Scott Carroll (4-6, 4.36). Root Sports will telecast the game. The series continues Friday and Saturday nights before concluding Sunday afternoon. Toronto arrives Monday for a three-game series that completes the homestand.

“Our bullpen has been lights out,” Young said. “The credit, all of them deserve so much of it. They’ve been amazing. As a starter, you know if you keep the team close, the bullpen is going to come in and hold it right there.” The bullpen has been a season-long strength, but the Mariners also produced a balanced 12-hit attack. Kyle Seager contributed three singles, while Robinson Cano had two doubles. Ackley also had two hits. Eight of the nine starters had at least one hit. “I just feel that it’s building,” McClendon said. “We have a nice mix now. We have a nice veteran presence in that lineup. I just think we’re getting ready to take off from an offensive standpoint.” The Mariners (59-54) started the day trailing Toronto by one game and Kansas City by one-half game in the chase for the American League’s final

wild-card berth. Ackley ignited the decisive four-run third with a line-drive homer to right field against Teheran, who gave up six runs in six innings after entering the game with a 2.69 earned run average. “That run and some of the others were big,” Ackley said. “When you can answer some runs with a run or two runs, it always helps.” The Mariners grabbed an early lead against Teheran (108) after Ackley reached on a one-out infield single in the first inning. Cano followed with a walk. Teheran retired Kendrys Morales on a fly to left field, but Seager drove a two-out RBI single to right for a 1-0 lead. Young retired the first six Braves but found trouble in the third inning when three singles loaded with bases with one out. A walk to Tommy La Stella forced in the tying run before Freddie Freeman sliced a drive to the left-center gap. Two runs scored easily, but shortstop Chris Taylor took the relay from center fielder Austin Jackson and threw out La Stella at the plate. So, it was just

a two-run double for Freeman, but the Braves led 3-1. “I felt the pitches I made in the third weren’t horrible,” Young said. “It started with a broken-bat base-hit. Then a ground ball through the hole. A soft base-hit and the bases were loaded. “La Stella, I walked him. Then Freeman, I think, is one of the best hitters in the game. Not necessarily the situation I wanted to be in, but I didn’t feel I made bad pitches to get there. You just can’t control the results.” Ackley’s homer cut the deficit to 3-2 before two-out singles by Seager and Taylor put runners at first and second. Morrison then turned on a 91-mph fastball and drove it into the right-field seats. The Mariners led 5-3 and added single runs in the fifth and seventh innings. “We’ve just got to score runs,” Morrison said. “That’s all it comes down to. We know what we can do once we put up four runs. Our team wins a lot of games. That’s the goal.” The Mariners are 43-10 when they score four runs.

Selig expects vote next week on successor Associated Press GRAPEVINE, Texas — Commissioner Bud Selig says he expects baseball owners to vote next week from a list of three candidates for his successor. Selig said Wednesday that the seven-member panel appointed earlier this year has worked independently and came up with the list on its own. The panel is headed by St. Louis Cardinals chairman Bill DeWitt Jr. Owners meet in Baltimore next week. Selig is retiring in January. There have been several reports that the three finalists are Rob Manfred, MLB’s chief operating officer; Tim Brosnan, MLB’s executive vice president for business and Boston Red Sox chairman Tom Werner. When asked about those names, Selig said “the list is accurate.” A candidate has to be approved by 23 of the 30 teams to be elected.

Dodgers DFA ex-Mariner Figgins By Bill Shaikin Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Dodgers designated Chone Figgins for assignment Wednesday. Figgins, 36, batted .217 in 38 games with the Dodgers. He made the team as a non-roster invitee to spring training, but Miguel Rojas’ ability to provide an outstanding defensive option at shortstop left no room for Figgins on the roster. The Dodgers also have Justin Turner as a utility infielder. Figgins had not played since June 13 because of a strained left quadriceps muscle. With minor league rehabilitation assignments limited to 20 days, the Dodgers had to put him back on the disabled list, call him up, or let him go. They now have 10 days to trade or release him. Figgins played with the Angels from 2002 to 2009 and with the Seattle Mariners from 2010 to 2012. His four-year, $36 million contract with Seattle extended through 2013, but the Mariners swallowed the cost of the final year. Figgins did not play in the majors last season.

MLS All-Stars rally to beat Bayern Munich 2-1 By Don Ruiz

The News Tribune

PORTLAND — For Seattle Sounders defender DeAndre Yedlin, one of the spoils of victory on Wednesday was Julian Green’s Bayern Munich jersey. The jersey exchange from the two young U.S. national team players followed the MLS AllStars’ come-from-behind 2-1 win over the visiting German superclub. “This is my boy J-Green’s jersey,” Yedlin said while wearing it in the festive MLS locker room. “We decided before the game we were going to trade. It’s all good fun. Good game. It was fun to

BASEBALL

watch. It was fun playing.” Yedlin was one of three Sounders in coach Caleb Porter’s starting 11. Obafemi Martins was alone up top, while Clint Dempsey was part of a five-man midfield, with Yedlin at right back. All three came off at halftime, when Seattle midfielder Osvaldo Alonso subbed on. All were booed by Portland fans during the introductions, and most times they touched the ball. Alonso also was involved in a play that seemed to change the nature of the game, making a hard tackle from behind in the 64th minute. That drew a yellow card, and the fury of Bayern coach Pep Guardiola, who

had what seemed to be an angry exchange with Porter, which continued after the final whistle. “It was the ball in front of me, I tried to anticipate, but I got late,” Alonso said. “That’s OK. Nothing happened. ... It’s friendly, but we have to play hard, we have to play with intensity.” Bayern Munich started by looking like what it is: one of the world’s great clubs. In the eighth minute, striker Robert Lewandowski got past the MLS defense and fired a oneon-one shot that was stopped by All-Stars keeper Nick Rimando of Real Salt Lake. However, just seconds later the ball was on Lewandowski’s foot again, and

this time he curled a shot over Rimando and into the net, putting Bayern ahead 1-0. The game continued with a fast flow for the rest of the half. All three starting Sounders had their moments. Yedlin blocked a threatening shot from Xherdan Shaqiri in the 11th minute, but he also pushed forward regularly into the attacking end. In the 26th minute he made a strong run into the box before sending a sizzling ball across the goalmouth. In the 30th minute, Dempsey put the MLS’ first shot on target, but Bayern goalkeeper Tom Starke knocked it away at the near post. Dempsey and Martins and Thierry Henry of New York had

several attacking connections with flair, but nothing made it to the net. “We tried to make them tired and pressed them, try to pass the ball among each other,” Martins said. “... It looked a little bit easier in the second half because they were tired. It’s the preseason for them.” MLS pulled even in the 51st minute, when Bradley WrightPhillips of New York sent a sizzler into the top corner. London Donovan of Los Angeles provided the game-winner in the 70th minute, fighting off a defensive challenge and sending a firm shot low and in. Donovan was voted the game’s most valuable player.

Miles apologizes for off-field incident By Christian Caple The News Tribune

SEATTLE — Having missed every one of Washington’s spring practices while he was suspended, third-year sophomore quarterback Cyler Miles knows fall camp is very much about repetition. On Wednesday, it was also about contrition. Speaking briefly with reporters for the first time since the end of the 2013 season, Miles apologized for “my behavior and my actions earlier this winter,” a reference to the Feb. 2 altercation in the University District that prompted an assault investigation and resulted in three misdemeanor charges against former UW receiver Damore’ea Stringfellow. Miles was with Stringfellow that night, and was also accused of assault. But the prosecutor’s office ultimately declined to file charges against the quarterback, citing lack of evidence. Stringfellow pleaded guilty to two counts of fourth-degree assault and one count of malicious mischief, was sentenced to five days on a work crew and assessed a $693 fine, and eventually decided to

him a home-run threat. But Richardson also has missed a significant amount of practice time because of a sore shoulder. So, how will Richardson react if he takes a big hit over the middle, or if he’s slammed to the ground after making a catch? Or what might happen when defensive end Cassius Marsh, another impressive rookie in camp, faces linemen trying to cut-block him for the first time? What will second-round Justin Britt, who is competing for the starting job at right tackle, look like when he faces opposing pass rushers at game speed for the first time? How will undrafted rookie Brock Coyle, who will likely start at middle linebacker in place of an injured Bobby Wagner, look when he’s asked to tackle at full speed. Or more important to his chances of making the team, how will he perform when he’s running down the field on kick coverage? Those are the kinds of questions that Seahawks coach Pete Carroll hopes his young players

transfer to Mississippi. UW coach Chris Petersen announced at Pac-12 media days in July that Miles, who was suspended from team activities from early February until mid-May, will not play in the Huskies’ Aug. 30 opener at Hawaii. A contrite Miles deemed that punishment “fair,” saying that he’s sorry for what he did and is willing to accept the consequences. “A lot of people that represent me are affected by my actions,” Miles said. “Obviously my family, my teammates, my university, and also the city that I live in right now, Seattle. It was an embarrassment to all of those people — me, my family and my last name. So for that, I truly apologize and at the same time I realize that I did mess up.” Miles and Stringfellow were accused of assaulting a man during a celebration of the Seattle Seahawks’ victory over the Denver Broncos in the Super Bowl (in a separate incident, Stringfellow also pleaded guilty to assaulting a female victim earlier that night and damaging her camera. Miles was also present). According to court documents, Miles and Stringfellow approached a man and his girlfriend walking in the

can start to answer tonight. “The first thing we want to do is see them run and hit,” Carroll said. “We’ve held back the whole time, this will be the first real, live work that we’ll get. We use these preseason games for that purpose. As a coach you always wonder what’s going to happen the first couple of opportunities to tackle and to run down the field and make plays on special teams and all of that, and you don’t know until it starts.” That’s especially true on special teams for a couple of reasons. It’s impossible to safely recreate a play like a kick return or kick coverage at full speed in practice. So those young players hoping to make the team — the one’s who need to excel on special teams to do so — don’t get a chance to really prove themselves on special teams until preseason games roll around.

Which backup running back shines? Marshawn Lynch won’t play tonight less than week after his first practice, so that should mean plenty of carries for both Christine Michael and Robert Turbin. Both of those backs will make the team, but they are battling for playing time and touches. Turbin was the backup to Lynch the past two seasons,

UW QB Cyler Miles will not play in the season opener at Hawaii.

2300 block of N.E. 50th Street and one of the players asked if they were Seahawks fans. After the man replied yes, Stringfellow and Miles chased him, and Stringfellow began punching the man in the face. According to charging documents, Miles was “backing Stringfellow and acting aggressively,” but neither the man or his girlfriend could say for sure if Miles also struck him. So he avoided criminal charges. But Miles, a native of Centennial, Colo., seems to understand why

and while many peg Michael as the eventual replacement for Lynch, Turbin has given no indications he plans to idly stand by and watch Michael pass him on the depth chart.

Which backup QB is better? Tarvaris Jackson has been the more consistent quarterback throughout camp, but the Seahawks didn’t trade for Terrelle Pryor for no reason. They see upside in the dynamic duelthreat quarterback, and with both expected to see significant playing time — Russell Wilson won’t play much and No. 4 QB B.J. Daniels is a question mark because of a groin injury — this will give us a little more insight into the competition. Carroll wouldn’t say which quarterback will get the second-team reps in this game, but whoever it is, it’s wise not to read too much into the decision. Just as the Seahawks split preseason starts between quarterbacks in 2012, they very well might let Jackson or Pryor work with the No. 2 offense tonight, then have the other work with the twos the next week.

Who returns punts? This is another topic on which Carroll was vague following

his behavior doesn’t sit well with Seahawks fans. “I have no problem with the Seahawks, man. I respect Russell (Wilson) and what he’s done at that program,” Miles said. “Things happen and I take full responsibility for my actions. I messed up big time, and I’m willing to face the consequences and do everything in my power to gain the respect back of Husky fans, my teammates and Coach Pete.” It was “difficult” to wake up each day in the spring, Miles said, knowing his teammates were readying for practice while he was sitting at home. He met with coaches a handful of times to discuss “a little overview and what was going on,” and lifted weights and threw passes on his own, but was otherwise on the outside looking in. That’s behind him now. But respect is earned, and Miles won’t win it back with one apology. He knows that. “I think just trying to rally guys as best as I can, just giving full effort on every drill, every workout, just try to get to know the incoming freshmen,” Miles said. “I feel like we’re a lot closer as a team this year. All-around, just try to become a better teammate,

better leader.” The rust accumulated during his suspension shows. He threw two interceptions during Wednesday’s first full-squad practice, though one of them was deflected at the line of scrimmage. He’ll need plenty of reps to perfect his timing, too. Still, he should have every chance to win the starting quarterback job, battling two younger players — Jeff Lindquist and Troy Williams — who haven’t attempted a collegiate pass. Petersen does like some of what he’s seen. “I think he’s done a pretty good job mentally,” Petersen said. “He’s worked hard to catch himself back up. He can command things pretty well out there in terms of knowing where guys are going. But in terms of the details, the timing, the accuracy, all those things, the precision — nobody’s there at that position ... He’s had the least amount of reps since we’ve been here.” And Miles knows that’s his own fault. “I highly regret it,” he said, “and I’m very excited to get back on the team and do my best to put this past me and start working with my guys again.”

Wednesday’s practice. He has recently said that safety Earl Thomas is still leading the wideopen competition to replace Golden Tate as Seattle’s punt returner. Regardless of whether or not Thomas gets a crack at punt returns tonight, expect to see Seattle try out several options if given the chance. It’s unlikely anyone could win the job with one or two returns in this game, but it is possible Carroll could lose confidence in a candidate should he turn the ball over.

preseason since 2011 is that, as corny as it may sound to some, Carroll’s “always compete” philosophy carries over to everything the team does, from games to practice to, yes, even these preseason games. “We’re playing to win them,” Carroll said. “We don’t play a game when you don’t care about winning ... We like winning them, yeah.” So no, these preseason results don’t mean much, but the fact that Seattle keeps winning exhibition games does signify depth and a competitive mindset, two things that do matter.

Will streak continue? Did you know the Seahawks have won nine consecutive preseason games? Weird, right? Well it’s not entirely a coincidence that the Seahawks keep winning these “meaningless” games that are often decided by players who don’t even end up on the 53-man roster. One big reason for Seattle preseason success over the past two years has been its depth. Developing depth is key for a successful franchise because it helps a team survive inevitable injuries throughout a season, but a less important byproduct of that depth is that your team’s third stringers are usually better than everyone else’s. But another reason the Seahawks haven’t lost in the

Will flags fly in the secondary? Illegal contact and defensive holding are points emphasis for officials this season, and in case you hadn’t noticed, the Seahawks have a rather physical secondary. Whether or not you believe those rules were put in place as a reaction to Seattle’s 2013 dominance, the fact remains that officials will be keeping a watchful eye on defensive backs. Starting with these preseason games, we’ll see just how much adjusting the Seahawks might have to do to comply with stricter officiating on the back end.

Pacific: ‘These guys just want to go out and play baseball’ From Page C1

ESPN. The two semifinal winners play for the regional championship at 1 p.m. Saturday, with the winner advancing to the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. Pacific has experienced a little bit of everything in its regional run. The All-Stars came from behind in their first two games, including an extra-inning victory over Montana. In game No. 3, against Idaho,

Pacific led the whole way. After getting two runs in the top of the first, the All-Stars held off a team from Lewiston for a 5-2 win, their closest game of the tournament. They followed that up with a 13-3 victory over Wyoming in Tuesday that was called after four innings because of the 10-run mercy rule. “They don’t get nervous,” Corsi said. “When they have a lead, they don’t get nervous. They keep playing. It’s good to get to go through all these games where we’ve had to come back and fight.

This team has a lot of character.” Corsi said his team has become more resilient since the district playoffs started in Lynnwood more than a month ago. “We are becoming more and more battle tested every game where we have to fight back,” Corsi said. “It goes back even to districts. In one game we were down by four in the top of the sixth and they didn’t hang their heads. They don’t get nervous. They really feel that every game they get into they’ve got a

chance.” The All-Stars have gotten strong performances from several players, including pitchers Logan Kruse and Tyler Durbin. Durbin also has been a force on offense, with several big hits to drive in runs. They’re just two of 12 Pacific players who have taken turns stepping up. “It’s a new hero every night,” Corsi said. “That is the beauty of this thing. That’s why I always like to say this is a true team. Each

victory is a team victory.” Despite being two wins from the Little League World Series, Corsi said his players are not thinking beyond the next game. “I don’t think they realize the magnitude of what they’ve got going on,” he said. “I think that’s the best part of this whole thing. These guys just want to go out and play baseball. We don’t talk about Williamsport. If we can get there great. “Let’s go out and play baseball and see what happens.”

Whether it’s smoke bombs, percussion blasts, strange mixtures or Manilow, folks have tried nearly everything to get rid of moles. What to do ...

When moles move in

DAN BATES / THE HERALD

Dave Pehling, of the Washington State University Extension at McCollum Park in Everett, holds a Townsend’s mole that he suspects died of natural causes. He is keeping the mole refrigerated until he conducts an autopsy. Below, Pehling holds a type of trap that is now illegal to control mole populations.

oley moley! These dastardly demons can do some serious damage. All those hours primping the lawn to make it pristine are undone by a tiny vermin that tunnels below leaving hideous hills above. What’s a mere human to do? Well, you can Google “how to get rid of moles” and read the 1.2 million results that pop up. Or, you can ask around. Seems everybody has an antimole tactic. Herald readers offered up a range of remedies: Smoke bombs. Dirty cat litter. Cats. Juicy Fruit gum. Guns. Castor oil. Onions. Peanut butter and d-Con. Male urine. Barry Manilow. “Place a transistor radio atop the hole playing Barry Manilow music non-stop for days, drives

Do you know a great way to rid a yard of those pesky, molehill-making vermin? Go to www.heraldnet.com/life to vote in our poll or leave a comment. See suggestions submitted by Herald readers on Page D3. them crazy,” one wrote. Another offered up a recipe of liquid soap, ammonia and a nicotine tea created by soaking a can of snuff in the toe of an old pair of panty hose. Seriously? You bet. Many readers had tried store products: repellents, baits, spikes, poisons and traps. That is, if you can catch the little buggers. “All’s fair in the mole wars!” wrote a reader who swears by Molecat, a triggered device that kills moles instantly with a percussive fatal blast to the skull. It’s illegal to kill a mole in a body-gripping trap in Washington, but you can shoot, shock, drug, drown or whack ’em dead

with a shovel. Dave Pehling has studied moles for 36 years as a WSU Snohomish County Extension agent, so you’d think he’d have the definitive answer. He did, but it’s against the law now. He recommended mole traps until the state ban in 2000. “There’s nothing else that seems to work consistently,” he said. Using a body-gripping trap is a gross misdemeanor punishable with jail time and/or fine, if enforced. “The one method that works really well is pounding down the hills and then sitting out in your yard with 12-gauge shotgun,” See MOLES, Page D3

A recent auction sold Hermes and other famous branded purses for thousands of dollars each. A used, limited-edition Hermes “Noisette Gulliver Leather Quelle Idole Kelly Doll Bag” in excellent condition sold at auction in April 2014. The humorous bag, with a smiling face, leather arms and feet, and a silver-colored metal “nose” and “eyes,” brought $18,750. The price included the dust bag and box. Dozens of other used purses

sold for more than $10,000 this year. Vintage designer purses are relatively new to auctions. They probably would not have been offered 20 years ago. Q: We have a chest of drawers that has been in my family since the 1930s. It has six drawers with dark burled wood fronts and diamond-shaped pulls with enamel drops. The label on the back says, “Sligh Furniture Co., Grand Rapids, Mich.” Do you have any information? A: The Sligh Furniture Co. was founded in Grand Rapids in 1880 by Charles R. Sligh. The company was a mainstay of the city’s furniture industry in the early 1900s,

when Grand Rapids was considered the “Furniture Capital of the World.” At first Sligh made inexpensive walnut bureaus with mirrors. Later it manufactured bedroom sets, chiffoniers and wardrobes in many styles. By the mid-1920s, Sligh claimed to be the largest manufacturer of bedroom furniture in the world. The company closed in 1932 but was reopened the next year by Sligh’s son, Charles R. Sligh Jr., in Holland, Mich. The company went on to make grandfather clocks, office furniture and entertainment pieces. In 2011 Sligh was sold to Lexington Home Brands of Thomasville, N.C. Sligh chests

Inside the circle there’s a small letter “c” and a capital letter “F.” Handwritten above the mark is the name “G. Wokaty.” Can you tell me who made the vase and how old it is?

PLANT OF MERIT

From Page D1

SANDRA SCHUMACHER

Rose ‘Oranges & Lemons’ is almost thornless.

What: Rose ‘Oranges & Lemons’ is a brilliantly colored floribunda rose of orange splashed with yellow stripes. Its blooms are approximately 4 inches across and are produced in clusters giving the appearance of a “bouquet on a stem.” It is continually in bloom during the summer and is almost thornless. A mildly fragrant rose, it received the ‘Rose of Special Merit’ award from the Royal National Rose Society in England.

Sun or shade: Full sun is ideal for this rose. Size: It has arching canes that reach 6 feet, so it is ideal to train as a short climber with some support. Its shape also lends itself to cascade over a rock wall. See it: At the WSU Snohomish County Master Gardener Demonstration Garden at Jennings Memorial Park, 6915 Armar Road, Marysville.

successor to a porcelain factory that operated on the same site beginning in 1866. The handwritten name is probably the name of the decorator. Q: I was office manager for a renowned big-game hunter, lecturer, photographer and fisherman. In 1970, he gave me a bracelet that he said was made from elephant hair. Can you give me any information about such a bracelet? I’m wondering how the value of something like this will be affected by the new laws about ivory. The bracelet appears to be made of seven strands of hair, or it could be just one long strand. The strands are slipped through knots of hairs so that the bracelet is adjustable. A: Elephant-hair bracelets have been made for more than 1,000 years and are supposed to protect the wearer from harm, ward off sickness and bring good luck. Amelia Earhart wore

an elephant-hair bracelet for years, but was not wearing it on her last flight in 1937 — when her plane disappeared. Bracelets are made from an elephant’s tail hairs, which can be 2 or 3 feet long. The hairs are trimmed to a uniform thickness and boiled to soften them so they can be molded into shape. Poachers kill elephants for their tusks, but might also harvest the tail hair and sell it. Reputable companies sell elephant-hair jewelry made from hair that is shed naturally and found on the ground, so that is legal. Wear your bracelet. The natural oil on your skin will help preserve the bracelet. Your vintage elephant-hair bracelet is worth about $35 to $50. Q: We inherited a collection of photographs that we would like to know more about. Each photo comprises duplicate prints pasted on a very hard card.

March En Route to Camp After Leaving Transport, New York Harbor.” On the back of that card is a story about the pictures on the front. We have about 100 of these cards. Are they valuable? A: You have a collection of “stereo cards.” When two almost-identical pictures are viewed through a stereoscope, it produces a 3-D image. Stereoscopes were popular from the mid1800s into the 1930s. The Keystone View Co. was one of the largest manufacturers of stereo cards, and had

offices in several countries. The company was founded by Benneville Lloyd Singley in Meadville, Pennsylvania in 1892. Keystone first published a series of stereo cards picturing World War I soldiers, battlefields and other military sites in 1923. Keystone became a subsidiary of Mast Development Co. in the 1960s and closed in 1972. The value of stereo cards is determined by maker and subject. A single card is worth $5 to $10. A complete set of World War I cards sells for about $100 to $150.

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

AUGUST IS

BACKYARD SANCTUARY MONTH!

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

The first rule Outdoor furniture has to be weather resistant. Teak wood is a favorite material, as it is extremely durable. Imitation wicker, made from synthetic fibers, has also been increasing in popularity for several years now. This type of garden furniture is elegant, resistant to the whims of Mother Nature, and easy to clean. The second rule Garden furniture has to be functional. The modular sofa hides an integrated storage space for cushions; the dining table is extendable; and the cooking area contains all the amenities so you can avoid trips back to the kitchen — cooking grill, sink, side table to store dishes and a small fridge. The third rule Be willing to pay for good quality. Of

Hardware

course, your budget will guide your choice of garden furniture, but there’s no point setting up an outdoor living area if it will all be sun faded and falling apart after a season or two. Bistro style metal furniture is fine for happy hour on the deck, but if you’re really planning on spending the summer outside, it is worthwhile to purchase durable and comfortable furniture. Decorating essentials Décor plays an important role on a deck. Just as in the rest of your home, the design of your outdoor oasis should reflect your tastes. Opt for rugs, cushions, and accessories that show your furniture off to advantage. Add a trellis or create a screen with plants for more privacy. Use different colored plant pots for garden herbs or to make a pretty annual

Landscaping

flower garden. Hanging pots will also help define the space and create an impression of privacy. Lighting is another important element for outdoor living. Relaxed, soft lighting will help you to create a cozy atmosphere on long, hot summer evenings. You’ll also have to think about installing practical lighting as well, so you can see what you’re doing. A variety of wall lamps, stylish lanterns, candlesticks, and solar torches will let you create a comfortable environment that meets all your needs. Make sure you install adequate lighting near steps and pathways leading to the backyard. And by the way, don’t forget to plan a winter storage space for outdoor living gear.

LIVING SMART | Angie Hicks

For a thoroughly clean house, don’t forget exterior H ouse cleaning isn’t just an inside job. Your siding, driveway and garage floor get dirty, too. And just as a freshly cleaned car seems to drive better, a spic-andspan exterior feels great to come home to. Siding: You can clean it the tried-and-true way, rinsing with a hose, using a long-handled brush to scrub with soapy water (laundry detergent works) and then rinsing well. To remove mildew or algae, consider a handpump garden sprayer and oxygen bleach (NOT chlorine, which can strip color and kill plants). Mix powdered oxygen bleach

with warm water, stir and apply with a long-handled brush to dry siding. Let it work for about 10 minutes. Use a water hose to rinse well. You may be tempted to use a power washer, but use caution and start with the lowest setting. Water jets can injure people and damage masonry, stucco or wood siding, and may force water through seams of vinyl-siding panels. Also, power washing alone will not remove mold or mildew. If you use a pressure washer, be sure to wear eye protection. Start at the top of your house and work down, directing the water

downward and going side to side across the siding. Concrete driveway or garage floor: Concrete is porous and will hold stains if vehicle fluids like oil, grease and antifreeze are allowed to linger. Other stains can come from tires, mold, mildew, rust and fungus. The first step in removing a stain is also the best way to keep future fluid leaks from staining: Cover the area with a drying agent, such as cat litter. Let the desiccant remain for a day before removing it and then scrubbing the stain with laundry detergent. If it’s not gone, clean the area again, but this time

use a power washer and trisodium phosphate (also known as TSP). For rust stains that don’t remove easily, apply powdered oxalic acid (also known as wood bleach), and let it stay for a few minutes before scrubbing and rinsing. If all else fails, a professional may use muriatic acid to eat away the stained portion of concrete. Be very careful if you try this yourself. Use one part of acid to 10 parts water and wear protective clothing and a respirator. To discourage future stains from setting, seal your driveway after it’s been cleaned and allowed

to dry for a few days. If you do the job yourself, read the instructions and apply evenly with a sprayer or roller. Don’t use the driveway for 24 hours. To remove tire marks from a sealed concrete driveway, scrub with a small amount of degreaser. Or use a solvent or chemical stripper to remove the sealer. Reseal once the stain is gone. Asphalt driveway: Use care when removing stains from asphalt driveways, since detergents or cleaners that contain petroleum-based solvents can damage asphalt. Because oil stains also can damage asphalt, it’s wise

to follow cleaning with resealing. Hiring: Cleaning your siding, driveway or garage floor is a job you can do yourself, but if you have a multi-story home or difficult stains, you may prefer to hire a power washing service. An experienced pro who is highly rated by local consumers will know how much pressure to apply and will have tools and products that clean effectively without causing damage to your home or property. Angie Hicks is the founder of Angie’s List, www.angieslist.com, a resource for consumer reviews.

Readers weigh in with their remedies

Moles: Love lush vegetation Pehling said. You might want to check if it’s allowed in your town before trying it, though. Pehling has a collection of about every mole mauler imaginable. He said the Molecat holds promise. The barrel firing unit and 10 extermination cartridges is about $100. “Treat it like a loaded gun,” he said. Toxins might do the trick. “Some people have luck with baits,” he said. “But we have no data to back it up. These are dangerous to your pet, too.” As much as you might hate them, moles do good. “They poop and pee underground, mix up the soil and are a marginal food source for hawks and owls,” Pehling said. Consider their visit a compliment on your yard care. “They like wellwatered lawns with nice rich soil and lush vegetation,” he said. Moles aren’t there to torment you. Really. They’re there for dinner. It’s all about food. A mole’s gotta eat and tunnels are feeding runways for their insatiable appetite for worms and grubs. Reduce their food source, said Rick Seymour, garden associate at Everett Home Depot, where bags

I’m an animal lover. I can’t be cruel. I’ll get rid of them in a more humane way. — Liz Donadio, Mukilteo homeowner

of ready-to-use grub killer are in the death-to-moles section. “Make it so there’s nothing to eat,” Seymour said. He said customers can’t agree on what mole extermination method works best or worst. “They’ll say this doesn’t work worth beans and another will come say this works great,” Seymour said. “And then the next person will say it doesn’t work. Lot of times I’ve heard when you repel them they just move to a different spot in your yard.” Or your neighbors. Either moles are digging what the earth’s serving up at Liz Donadio’s house in Mukilteo or the word is out in mole circles about her neighbor’s lethal method. “He was doing the extreme and I think they are all coming here,”

she said. About 20 mounds have appeared in the area where her little dog, Casper, does his business. So much for the urine repellent remedy. “We are coexisting right now,” Donadio said. “I’m an animal lover. I can’t be cruel. I’ll get rid of them in a more humane way.” Or not.

DAILY CROSSWORD

Organizing get-togethers gets tiring Adapted from a recent online discussion. Dear Carolyn: I have a group of girlfriends that I enjoy spending time with. The problem is, anytime we get together it’s because I organize it. I’m a little tired of doing it all and if I don’t, then we go months without seeing each other. I miss them, but feel that they don’t miss me. I just want to be shown a little love! — Always Organizing Maybe they are showing love, their way, by showing up. In other words, I think the “best way to handle this” is to avoid comparing them to you. You participate in a friendship by cruise-directing. Other people have other ways. Some stay in touch regularly by phone, some by forwarding things they think you’ll like, some by keeping your secrets, some by always being there when you’re in crisis (but maybe not so much when everything’s fine). Etc. Try recalibrating your expectations — based not on what you give, but on what you get. Then ask yourself how much effort you are willing to give in exchange for what you receive. Avoid the facile extremes: Don’t just suck it up and keep planning, or harrumph these friends out of your life completely.

CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT Instead, weigh the details carefully. For example: Can you fully embrace that organizing is in your nature but not in theirs, and take new, knowing pleasure in being their cruise director? Or, do you need to cut back to bring yourself to a place where you won’t feel resentful? Say, instead of planning something once a week/fortnight/ month, would you feel better about doing half that? Maybe your arrangements can tap into friends’ strengths a bit more, too, instead of running entirely on (the fumes of) yours. Or are you really just through counting on people who don’t share your way of showing friendship? If so, then start making a conscious effort to find compatible friends. You can always keep organizing the occasional gathering of the old crowd as you make this transition.

Re: Always Organizing: I am the friend who never organizes things but generally shows up when I am invited. But I am also the friend you can call at 1 a.m. to take you to the ER. Why don’t I organize things? Primarily because I am by nature a homebody and loner. Add in a crazy interpretation of the “do unto others as you would have them do unto you” guideline: In my world, I mostly want to be left to my own devices, so I assume others would want that, too. — Anonymous Thanks for this. I do think it’s worth some effort to meet your friends where they are, emotionally speaking, and just talking about this stuff can accomplish a lot of that. For example, saying to your plan-making friends, “Hey, I appreciate that you make these plans. If it were up to me we’d never do anything — not because I don’t care, but because my default is not leaving the house.” Then remind them how they can depend on you. Presumably good friends will know this about you already, but that can have a lulling effect, where you don’t think to bring it up because you assume you settled it years ago.

Battle of sexes over sex ignites feedback Dear Abby: I just finished reading the letter from “Pressured” (April 23), the wife whose husband keeps track of how often he and his wife have had sex and his determination to have sex 100 times per year. She was wondering if this is normal. I can tell her that my former husband thought we should have sex five times a week. He kept a calendar of when we had sex that also included who initiated it. I explained to him that I was more than willing to have frequent sex, but that he also had to be an attentive, caring husband. Our marriage counselor believed he was suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression and was probably a diagnosable narcissist. Surprise, surprise! He pronounced our marriage counselor to be inept and divorced me. “Pressured” says she has a good marriage, so I assume that means she has a caring husband. I would advise her to do her best to enthusiastically and creatively meet his needs. Most men express love and feel loved by having sex. Scorekeeping could be his ineffective attempt at communicating his need to feel loved. — The Ex-Mrs. Dear Ex: Thank you for writing. The saying “men are from Mars, women are from Venus” aptly applies to the responses I received from readers. Read on: Dear Abby: Most guys may keep track of how often they’re having sex, although more likely it’s how long since the last time, or maybe how many times a week. But this guy is an idiot for letting his wife know that he’s tracking it. Hopefully he’s not procreating, just “recreating” in bed. Abby, I thought you knew RIP HAYWIRE

DEAR ABBY men better. “Fifty great versus 100 ‘so-so’ times” — are you kidding? Surely you know the saying, “Even bad sex is pretty good sex.” We guys will take it any way, any how, anytime. For us, it’s all good, all the time. — Dan In Irving, Texas Dear Abby: Unfortunately, my husband also likes to keep a running tab of our sexual frequency. It galls me. I saw a movie years ago in which a couple saw the same therapist and one tells the counselor, “We NEVER have sex! We only do it three times a week.” While the other says, “We have sex ALL THE TIME! We do it three times a week!” We must consider the other person and his or her needs, whether they’re emotional, sexual or physical. Emotional and physical are not necessarily the same. — Denise In Michigan Dear Abby: For most men, sex is just a little less important than breathing and eating as essential to our existence. Men are getting fed up with being deprived. I have often considered extramarital sexual pursuits, and I feel I’d be justified in doing so. I know I’m not alone. Men have needs, and should have a right to share intimate relations with their wives. If not, we should be given the green light to fulfill our needs elsewhere. — James In Kentucky Universal Uclick

THE CLICKER Among Thursday’s best bets on television: “Garfunkel and Oates” is a new series that highlights the zany misadventures of Riki Lindhome and Kate Micucci. They’re a comedy-folk duo that takes its name from a pair of famous musical “second bananas.” 10 p.m., IFC. From Herald news services

TODAY IN HISTORY Today’s highlight: On August 7, 1964, Congress passed the Gulf of Tonkin resolution, giving President Lyndon B. Johnson broad powers in dealing with reported North Vietnamese attacks on U.S. forces. On this date: In 1782, Gen. George Washington created the Order of the Purple Heart, a decoration to recognize merit in enlisted men and noncommissioned officers. In 1814, Pope Pius VII issued a bull restoring the Society of Jesus, or Jesuits, four decades after the order had been suppressed by Pope Clement XIV. In 1882, the famous feud between the Hatfields of West Virginia and the McCoys of Kentucky erupted into full-scale violence. In 1927, the already opened Peace Bridge connecting Buffalo, New York, and Fort Erie, Ontario, Canada, was officially dedicated.

‘Bridge’ tracks Nixon’s fall, Reagan’s rise By Michael Hill Associated Press

“The Invisible Bridge: The Fall of Nixon and the Rise of Reagan” (Simon & Schuster), by Rick Perlstein Even Republicans piled on President Richard Nixon as the Watergate scandal wore on. But not California Gov. Ronald Reagan. He said Watergate was being “blown out of proportion” and was “none of my business.” Rick Perlstein writes that incredulous reporters thought Reagan was acting like a “genial ostrich” ignoring the looming reckoning for American government. Ostrich or no, Reagan’s point of view resonated with people — or at least some people. “There were two tribes in America now,” Perlstein writes early in the book. And Reagan spoke powerfully to one of those tribes: the ones who were organizing around grievances like forced busing, the ones who had the sense that the orderly America they loved was receding. “The Invisible Bridge” is the story of “the right-wing insurgency bubbling barely beneath

the surface” through the mid ‘70s. And it’s the story of the national rise of the politician who benefited the most from that insurgency. Perlstein wrote about Sen. Barry Goldwater and the rise of modern American conservatism in “Before the Storm” and continued his political and cultural history with “Nixonland.” This third book

ends with Reagan’s narrow loss to President Gerald Ford at the 1976 Republican convention, which served as a marker to how far the conservative movement had come in a generation. To call this book rich in anecdotes is an understatement. Perlstein adopts a you-arethere narrative that gives the reader a sense of what average Americans took in during the turbulent period from Watergate to the 1976 elections. Readers learn about Nixon and Reagan, sure, but also about the only-in-the-’70s phenomena like EST workshops, in which people paid $250 to have insults screamed at them. The account of John Dean’s televised Watergate testimony includes both blow-byblow details and a snippet from the commercial aired during the hearing for Final Net (“So you finally got little Jamie married!”). Reagan fans looking for a heroic tale will be disappointed. Perlstein’s default mode is irreverence, and his Reagan is a storyteller who does not let the messy complexity of reality get in the way of simple answers. He calls the future president an “athlete of denial.” Democrat

Perlstein portrays him as an opportunistic candidate happy to tell people what they want to hear. At more than 800 pages, the narrative bogs down during the Watergate hearings and in some other places. But the minibiography of Reagan nestled in the pages is a page turner, as is Perlstein’s climactic account of the nail-biter presidential nominating convention in 1976. Ford won the nomination but Reagan won the hearts of many Republicans who wondered if they had just launched the wrong candidate into the general election. Even Reagan couldn’t please everyone, though. Perlstein writes that Goldwater, Mr. Conservative himself, complained that Reagan had become “one of those people, the really ideological ones who won’t change.”

SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY 50 years ago (1964) Members of the Everett Park Board and the Lowell Civic Club came closer together today in plans for a new recreational area in Lowell, more than five acres to be deeded the city by Simpson-Lee Paper Co., through Resident Manager Robert M. Boyle. Jules Van Der Mersche presented the case of the Civic Club which desired

to make the play area a club project. Curtis Clare Redwood, son of Mr. and Mrs. Clare W. Redwood, Alderwood Manor, was two years old today. Grandparents were Mr. and Mrs. A.E. Flake of Monroe and Mrs. And Mrs. C.D. Redwood of Snohomish. 25 years ago (1989) Staci Mahagan-McGill of

ALBUM REVIEW

Shaver has plenty to sing about By Steven Wine Associated Press

Billy Joe Shaver, “Long In The Tooth” (Lightning Rod)

1100947

Old cowboys love to lament that contemporary country music’s in a sorry state and guilty of casting aside sage singers and songwriters — like Billy Joe Shaver. The crusty Texan trots out that trope at the start of his new album, and then spends the rest of the record showing he still has plenty to say. “Long in the Tooth” covers a wide range of topics in 10 songs and 32 minutes. Shaver sings about politics, war, the lessons of Jesus and the Garden of Eden, and that’s just in the space of four verses on the tune “The Git Go.” The title cut’s a hoot, with Shaver noting that as his 75th birthday approaches, “what I used to do all night, it takes me all night to do.” He sings about the rails on “Sunbeam Special,” then rails against America’s class divide on “Checkers and Chess.” Best of all is “I’m In Love,” a ballad beautiful in its simplicity as Shaver pledges everlasting devotion. The song’s a testament to this cowboy’s staying power.
