OSO MUDSLIDE

$150K for Stilly Valley study Federal grant money will focus on bringing high-skill, well-paying jobs in the area hit by the March 22 mudslide. By Dan Catchpole Herald Writer

Local business boosters and public officials have received a federal grant to come up with a road map to bring jobs back to the North Fork Stillaguamish River Valley. The plan will have to grapple

with the long-term decline of the area’s logging industry and more short-term fallout from the deadly Oso mudslide in March. Economic Alliance Snohomish County, a private economic development group, is leading the effort in partnership with the county, Washington

State University and the cities of Arlington and Darrington. The $150,000 grant, announced Monday, came from the U.S. Economic Development Administration, an agency in the Department of Commerce. The plan should be finished by mid-year 2015. It will focus on increasing the number of high-skill and well-paying jobs in the area in the following three to 20 years, said John Monroe, an executive with Economic

Alliance Snohomish County. “It’ll look at what assets they have and the opportunities for diversification,” he said. Government and a nonprofit groups are creating the plan, but its success will depend on the private sector, he said. “Private industry is going to have to play a significant role in this.”

Northwest Leaf aims to keep medical marijuana community informed

QUINN RUSSELL BROWN / THE HERALD

Daniel Berman (left) and Wes Abney co-produce Northwest Leaf, a publication that caters to the medical marijuana community.

Wes Abney sinks into a couch at his home office in Martha Lake. On the floor nearby are zip-tied stacks of Northwest Leaf, the 96-page medical marijuana magazine he publishes each month. Framed covers of past issues hang on the wall behind him. Abney, 26, is a cannabis journalist. For the past four years, he’s been on the front line of weed in Washington. “We look at this as something we’re covering as an industry,” he said. “It’s like pot is our beat.”

Wearing a shirt that says “marijuana is safer than alcohol,” he talks effortlessly and at length about medicinal cannabis — the laws, the politics, the benefits. Next to him is longtime friend Daniel Berman, also 26, the photo editor and designer of Northwest Leaf. He occasionally chimes in to explain a layout decision or point out something innovative about the magazine. “It’s not a highfalutin’ view of cannabis,” Berman said. “Whether you’ve used cannabis for years or never taken a hit before, you’re going to learn

Rather than a mother protecting her pups, agents say that an aggressive male likely attacked an 8-year-old boy and his grandmother July 31. By Kari Bray

‘Pot is our beat’

By Quinn Russell Brown

Otter suspected of attacks is killed

LAKE STEVENS — The river otter suspected of seriously injuring an 8-year-old boy and his grandmother on the Pilchuck River in July has been caught and killed. A large male otter was trapped and shot Sunday afternoon near Lake Connor Park in Lake Stevens. The state Department of Fish & Wildlife reported last week that a mother otter with pups might have been behind a July 31 attack that sent two people to the hospital. However, trappers shifted their focus after spotting a 4-footlong male otter that appeared to be migrating through the area, said Capt. Alan Myers. Dogs were used to “haze” any otters from the area, he said. Their presence and barking were meant to scare otters away from the Pilchuck River near Lake Connor Park, a private park near where the attack happened. Three mother otters and their pups were spotted in the area, and all seem to have relocated after the dogs went through, Myers said. Rather than leaving, the male otter responded aggressively to the dogs and was shot after multiple attempts at trapping him failed. “We have determined this is the otter responsible for the attack” based on his aggressive behavior, Myers said. “He was euthanized at the scene, quickly and quietly.” The results of a necropsy are pending and should help determine whether the animal had an illness or injury that might have caused hyperaggressive behavior, Myers said. Otter attacks are rare, but the July attack was vicious. Bryce Moser was playing on a rope swing when family members say he was pulled into the river by an otter. He was badly cut and bruised in the attack. When Roxane Leilani Grove rushed into the river to pull her grandson away from the otter, the animal attacked her. One of her eyes was damaged, and she has undergone multiple surgeries, her brother-in-law, Dean Springer, said. Though river otters are See OTTER, back page, this section

Comedian Robin Williams dead at 63 By Adam Bernstein

Poets Society” (1989) and a distraught widower in “The Fisher King” (1991). As a Hollywood actor, he was almost always compelling but uneven in his choice of roles, which shifted dramatically between riveting (“Awakenings”) and maudlin (“Patch Adams”) and in the comic realm between the expertly served (“Mrs. Doubtfire,” “The Birdcage”) and thuddingly mediocre (“Night at the Museum”). Robin McLaurin Williams was born July 21, 1951, in Chicago and raised in a 30-room mansion in the affluent Detroit suburb of Bloomfield Hills, Mich. As a child, Robin developed a sharp humor to attract attention from his parents. To his father, who liked to be called “sir,” he instead used the honorific “Lord Stokesbury, Viceroy of India.” He said his earliest comic influences were his mother, who enjoyed reciting funny poems, and Jonathan Winters, an absurdist improvisational comic of film and TV. In a remembrance of Winters after his death in 2013, Williams wrote in The New York Times that he was entranced by Winters’ effect on his normally staid father as the comedian played a series of more lunatic characters. And Winters’s tools were simple. By donning a pith helmet, he morphed into a “great white hunter” whose conception of wild game is squirrel. “I am for their little nuts,” Winters said. Williams wrote, “My dad and I lost it. Seeing my father laugh like that made me think, ‘Who is this guy and what’s he on?’ . . . Each transformation was a cameo with characters and sound effects. He was performing comedic alchemy. The world was his laboratory. I was hooked.”

The Washington Post

Robin Williams, the Juilliard-trained actor and uncontainably exhibitionist comic who became one of the most dazzling all-around talents in show business, winning an Academy Award for a dramatic role in “Good Will Hunting” and an Emmy for his stand-up work, was found dead Monday at his home in Tiburon, Calif. He was 63. The Marin County Sheriff’s Office said a preliminary investigation indicates the cause of death was a suicide due to asphyxia but that an investigation is continuing. His media agent said he had been battling depression. Long fueled by an alcohol and cocaine addiction, Williams was a motormouthed and unpredictable entertainer in whatever medium he was working, whether movies, television, Broadway, or gala performances before Prince Charles of England. He was a satirist, an Oscar-winning dramatic actor and mimic of everyone from Carol Channing to Jack Nicholson, from a British actor rendering “Hamlet” to a ghetto tough to Henry Kissinger channeling the morgue-voiced actor Peter Lorre. It was nearly impossible to harness his style — although, when under skilled direction, he was able to offer restrained and surprisingly deft dramatic portraits. Williams won an Oscar as best supporting actor as a therapist in “Good Will Hunting” (1997) after having been nominated for leading roles three times, for his roles as an irreverent disc jockey in “Good Morning, Vietnam” (1987), an inspirational boarding school teacher in “Dead

When he sat down, I asked if he would sit a little differently, the way an alien might. Immediately, he sat on his head. We hired him. — Jerry Paris Co-producer of “Mork and Mindy”

Williams’s father moved to the family to Marin County, just north of San Francisco, during Robin’s senior year of high school. There, classmates voted him the funniest and least likely to succeed. While studying political science at Claremont Men’s College, he took a class in improvisational comedy that changed the course of his life. He left

in his third year to work in comedy clubs in San Francisco and, in 1978, married Valerie Velardi, a dancer. They had a son before divorcing. He married Marsha Garces in 1989 and had two children with her before they divorced. Survivors include his third wife, Susan Schneider. A complete list of survivors could not be immediately confirmed.

“This morning, I lost my husband and my best friend, while the world lost one of its most beloved artists and beautiful human beings. I am utterly heartbroken,” Schneider said in a statement. “As he is remembered, it is our hope the focus will not be on Robin’s death, but on the countless moments of joy and laughter he gave to millions.” It was his first wife who suggested Williams move to Los Angeles and direct his talents at television. His routines at prominent clubs led to guest appearances on “Happy Days” as the alien Mork. The show’s producers had turned down 50 performers for the role before Williams auditioned for Mork. “About five o’clock, in walked this boy with rainbow suspenders,” producer Jerry Paris told The New York Times. “When he sat down, I asked if he would sit a little differently, the way an alien might. Immediately, he sat on his head. We hired him.” Audience reaction was so swiftly positive that the network gave Williams his own show as Mork in 1978. “Mork and Mindy” was about an alien from planet Ork sent to Earth in a giant egg to learn the mystifying habits of its people. Besides sitting on his head, Mork’s quirky tendencies include getting drunk on soda and falling hopelessly enamored of mannequins. His catchphrase: “Nanu nanu.” The film that made Williams a bona fide star was “Good Morning, Vietnam” (1987), as the loose-lipped DJ Adrian Cronauer on Armed Forces Radio in Saigon. The film, which reportedly made more than $120 million domestically, was best remembered for Williams one-liners amid the raging Vietnam War.

Man threatens to blow up Index bridge By Rikki King and Amy Nile Herald Writers

INDEX — Frustrations have been brewing since a mudslide closed down access to a rural neighborhood near Index in 2013. One man got so upset at the homeowners association last week that he called the Snohomish County Public Utility District and threatened to blow up a newly built bridge to the neighborhood, court records show. The 37-year-old was being

held Monday at the Snohomish County Jail for investigation of making a bomb threat, a felony under state law. His bail was set at $20,000. The Mount Index Riversites community is reached by a private road that is not maintained by county or state government. Mount Index River Road, the sole road into the neighborhood, has been blocked by mud and debris since last winter, affecting about 100 homes. Those who live at Mount Index Riversites have been walking and using all-terrain vehicles to get to

and from their homes. Earlier this year, the homeowners association and the PUD agreed to share the costs of building the bridge to the neighborhood off 217th Place SE, over the South Fork Skykomish River. The PUD doesn’t own the bridge but will use it for access related to a potential nearby hydropower project at Sunset Falls, a spokesman said. The bridge is scheduled for a final inspection Thursday morning and expected to open later that day. The suspect in the threats

case called the PUD’s customer service line just before 9 a.m. Wednesday, according to the arrest report. During a 14-minute conversation, he reportedly told the PUD employee he felt like he was being extorted and held hostage, records show. He said he had been stuck at Riversites for 231 days. The man allegedly told the employee that he had purchased material online to make explosives and planned to blow up the bridge. A Snohomish County sheriff’s

deputy went to the man’s home on Friday morning to follow up. He worked with firefighters to get past the slide area. “When (the man) came outside, he put his arms behind his back and asked if he was under arrest,” the deputy wrote in his report. The man also allegedly told the deputy, “Oh, you must be here about the bridge.” The man told the deputy he had not purchased any explosives and did not plan to bomb the See BRIDGE, Page A4

compacted, forcing many of the tree root balls to spread out close to the surface. Some of the trees are clearly sick or have been stunted by having been planted too close together. Stephanson said it is possible that some trees might not survive the soil replacement process. “Through the cleanup process we may lose some trees in the future, but in my view, it’s a risk we’re taking,” he said. One of those grateful for the mayor’s decision was Sandy Schumacher, a former Everett resident who has long served on

SULTAN — Three new emergency sirens have been installed in Sultan to warn folks to evacuate in case of a disaster. They look a bit like futuristic stacked frisbees, mounted on 50-foot poles. Along with a previously installed siren at Sultan Elementary, they chime each day at noon. The sound is called the Westminster Chimes, a classic melody most often associated with clock towers. “It’s a very pleasant sound,” Fire Chief Merlin Halverson said. The sirens project involved city staff, the fire district, the school district and the hospital district, Halverson said. They’ve been working on it for about seven years, after a previous siren system became unreliable. The new sirens were funded through mitigation fees related to the Snohomish County PUD’s relicensing of the Henry M. Jackson Hydroelectric Project. If the Culmback Dam were to give way, the town of Sultan would have about 45 minutes to evacuate before being obliterated by a 45-foot wall of water and debris, Halverson said. The siren at Sultan Elementary School was installed a few years back. In addition to siren sounds, the devices can be used to broadcast live and pre-recorded messages. The sirens also could be used for major flooding or other emergencies. The three new sirens are installed and have been tested.

Legion Park trees get reprieve Mayor halts plan to remove up to 90 trees at north Everett park By Chris Winters Herald Writer

EVERETT — Everett Mayor Ray Stephanson has halted the city’s plan to remove up to 90 trees from Legion Memorial Park. The city’s Parks and Recreation Department had been considering removing most of the trees from the park, many of which were being crowded, showed signs of disease, or were otherwise nearing the end of their lifespan. That plan angered many residents across the city, however, who spoke to the City Council, organized a campaign and

a “Save the Legion Park Trees” Facebook community, and sent what Stephanson estimated was a couple dozen “emails, snail mails, calls” from people seeking to stop the culling. Stephanson said he also walked the site to see firsthand what the city parks staff was advocating, and spent what he said was a “few sleepless nights thinking about it.” “I decided at about 3 o’clock this morning to bring a halt to this,” Stephanson said. “None of the trees will be removed.” The tree removal program was to have started this fall, at the same time work crews from the state Department of Ecology

were planning to replace up to a foot and a half of topsoil contaminated from the old Everett Smelter. The smelter contaminated much of north Everett with arsenic, lead, cadmium and other metals, which were first detected in 1990. The funding is being provided by a bankruptcy settlement with Asarco, the former owner of the smelter site. The cleanup of the park will continue, but the work crews will dig around the shallow root clusters by hand and use compressed air to clean them of contaminants. The geography of the park is such that the topsoil is

A county prosecutor on Monday asked the judge to maintain the man’s bail amount because of the threat “to society and to the community.” The mood in the neighborhood has grown tense as the months have passed.

$5,000 reward for info on missing woman EVERETT — The family of an 89-yearold Everett woman who has been missing for nearly a month has posted a $5,000 reward for information. Ethel A. O’Neil, 89, vanished July 16 while on an outing. She’d planned to go shopping at the Everett Mall, just a 3-mile drive from her home. There is no new information in the Ethel A. O’Neil investigation, Everett police spokesman Aaron Snell said Monday. O’Neil was last seen driving in the area of 88th Place NE and 67th Avenue NE in Marysville, according to her family. They believe O’Neil, who has early signs of dementia, might have gotten lost. She was driving a steel-blue 1987 Chevy Nova, Washington license plate ADP6803.

Folks are looking forward to the new bridge, Smith said. “It’s gone from despair to hope,” he said. “We have this bridge built and it’s ready to open. It’s kind of like waiting for the dawn.” After the fatal Oso mudslide on March 22, the Index mudslide also was named in federal, state and county disaster declarations. That allowed the homeowners association to move more quickly through permits. A ribbon-cutting ceremony is planned for 10 a.m. Saturday. The suspect in the bomb threat has two misdemeanors in Nebraska and no criminal history in Washington, lawyers said in court Monday.

The outage was reported about 8:30 a.m. and restored within about five hours, said Frontier spokeswoman Emily Tantare. A brush-cutting team accidentally severed the fiber cable that linked to Darrington after the March 22 mudslide near Oso. The fiber cable snakes along the temporary access road south of Highway 530. The cable was cut east of the landslide site, officials said. From Herald staff reports

The new locations are: The Wastewater Treatment Plant on the west side of the Sultan River. East end of town, south of the highway, on fire district property. Off Trout Farm Road, on industrial land north of town. The new sirens and installation are expected to cost about $175,000 when the project is completed, city clerk Laura Koenig said. The siren at Sultan Elementary was paid for by a grant from the county Department of Emergency Management, Halverson said. The city also received

some money from the PUD related to a fish habitation project on the Sultan River. Meanwhile, the fire district has asked for feedback on the current noon testing time via its Facebook page. The time could be changed if enough folks respond, Halverson said. The locations of the sirens were based on computer models to reach as much of the town as possible, he said. In addition, the city, fire district and schools host annual evacuation drills to get folks to high ground quickly if the dam breaks.

Pot From Page A1

marijuana wasn’t a thing yet, as brick-and-mortar businesses. A lot of them would open up for a few months and then shut down.” Northwest Leaf declared itself “the patient’s voice.” Abney started selling ads and switched over to a magazine format to hold more content. He made a profit by the third issue. It was around that time that Berman, who had transferred to Western Washington University for a photojournalism degree, took over as the magazine’s lead designer. “In the beginning it was basically just us,” Abney said. “Honestly, it felt like we were making a pot issue of our old college paper.” Four years and 44 issues later, Northwest Leaf now hires a dozen regular freelancers. They’re paid anywhere from $50 to $250 for articles. (The magazine is printed under contract by Sound Publishing, which owns The Daily Herald.) “If I’m sending someone to an event and they’re just getting high and sending me back a synopsis, I’m paying them 10 to 20 cents a word,” Abney said. “An investigative piece or a naturopath who writes for me, they’re getting paid 25 to 30 cents a word.” Northwest Leaf offers what Berman calls “a nuanced look at cannabis,” with local and national news, personality profiles, shop reviews and grow techniques. “We really try to take a consumer reporting role,” Abney said. “We’re here for anyone who

Nov. 2012 Northwest Leaf cover

wants to use cannabis medicinally, and who wants to treat it with respect and learn about it in a more in-depth way.” What’s there to learn? For one, many people associate being on marijuana with a glazed look and a decrease in motor skills — getting “stoned” — but Abney says that the sativa strand can function as an energy supplement, similar to a Red Bull beverage. Another strand, known as indica, gives you a body high. The cover story of the July issue was “Tannins & Terpenes,” a guide to mixing alcohol and weed. “Everyone knows that there are thousands of types of wines, but people think that pot is just pot,” Abney said. “And that’s not the case.” Northwest Leaf reviews local medical marijuana shops and the products they sell. Abney pays a writer to do a “blind buy,” which means not informing the shop that a review will be written. The sample is brought to Analytical 360, a marijuana testing lab in Seattle, and then photographed by Berman. Finally, the writer goes home and tries it out.

They’ve given bad reviews to marijuana edibles — “medibles” — for being far more potent than the labels warned. Abney said that while he personally prefers medibles with 25 milligrams of THC, there are products ranging from 15 to 1,000 milligrams. “No, you’re not going to die. No, there won’t be any lasting effects,” Abney said. “But it can be the most miserable six, seven, eight hours of your life.” He likens using marijuana products without researching them first to operating a power tool without reading the instruction manual. It’s this consumer reporting that separates Northwest Leaf from so-called “stoner mags” like High Times. Russell McGregor, who runs Olympia Hempfest and owns a collective garden in Tacoma, has been buying ads from Abney for the past few years. “I really focus on the medical aspect of cannabis,” McGregor said. “We just finished with Olympia Hempfest, and it surprised me how many people don’t know about cannabis. All they know is what they see on TV.” Before Northwest Leaf, McGregor handed out fliers and advertised in classifieds. “It’s a good publication, and it’s important,” he said. “There’s other publications out there, but they’re all being produced in either Colorado or California. This is here in the Pacific Northwest.” The hard-news side of Northwest Leaf is telling patient stories. They’ve written about an Everett attorney who defends parents fighting to get medical marijuana for their children’s seizures; an 88-year-old woman

who was pulled over for a marijuana DUI in Ocean Shores and forced to sit on the ground until she wet herself; five medical cannabis patients in Eastern Washington who face 10 years to life in prison; and a grower in Bellingham charged with 14 felonies. Berman once traveled to Wenatchee to do a story about a young man who lost his job because he had to miss work for a marijuana court date. “We were driving down an abandoned orchard, there wasn’t a person for miles,” he said. “And we showed up at this mobile home in the middle of nowhere to tell this one kid’s story, and to do it right. His charges ended up getting dropped soon after.” Northwest Leaf doesn’t shy away from being political. In February, when there were 25 medical marijuana bills in the Legislature, Abney paid a graphic artist to design a cover in the style of “Schoolhouse Rock,” with a bill rolled up into a joint and the words “For medical marijuana patients, every bill is a bad bill.” They opposed Initiative 502, the 2012 ballot measure that legalized recreational marijuana, because it didn’t acknowledge the medicinal benefits of cannabis or permit any home growing. On top of that, they say, the recreational pot shops that have opened are two to three times more expensive than medical dispensaries. “We’re just hoping to protect medical,” Abney said. “We want the state to be successful, but not at the cost of patients.” Still, Abney and Berman support I-502 shops now that they’re open and even ran an ad for one in July. “We’re going to give a fair

shake to recreational marijuana,” Berman said. “Because we want people to have the right information — good, accurate information about what’s in their neighborhood.” Berman still takes on other freelance assignments. The New York Times recently hired him to shoot a series on I-502. He photographed Bill Gates for an Italian publication in May. Since marijuana is illegal under federal law, banks do not explicitly deal with pot-related businesses. Abney said he’s had bank accounts closed. “All it takes is them Googling your business and you’re kind of screwed,” he said. Some of Northwest Leaf’s advertisers switch bank accounts as often as every three months, but most of them avoid banks altogether. As a result, Abney spends four to five days a week traveling around the state to pick up cash payments and drop off magazines. The time on the road is his biggest complaint about the business, but it hasn’t stopped the magazine from expanding. In July, they launched Oregon Leaf with 5,000 copies. Next there are plans for Colorado, Nevada, Arizona, Hawaii and Florida. Abney envisions a bureau chief in every state. “We’re always going to be pushing, till everyone can grow this plant safely and everyone can have access to medicinal or recreational cannabis,” he said.

can provide emotional support and suggest medical services to people who have just been diagnosed, she said. The nonprofit is trying to reach people early in their diagnosis to provide help with support groups, education and the availability of care. The group sponsors workshops so that caregivers can learn more about Alzheimer’s, and it has established a 24-hour help line. “Often caregivers are experiencing a great deal of stress,” Verda said. Often, people who call the help line are looking for physician referrals and want to know how to get a second medical opinion. The Alzheimer’s

containment is expected Friday. In Oregon, the Rowena fire, which burned one house and 5.7 square miles of scrub oak and brush on the steep, windy slopes of the Columbia Gorge west of The Dalles, was 65 percent contained. In Idaho, the Big Cougar fire was 50 percent contained after burning more than 100 square miles in remote country along the Snake River. In some areas, smoke, not flames, created problems. In Oregon, the air quality index was unhealthy in Grants Pass in the southwestern corner of the state, and in Enterprise in the northeastern corner. In Washington, Pullman and Leavenworth reported unhealthy conditions. And in Idaho, state air quality authorities reported concerns for the Clearwater Basin from local fires, and the Panhandle from smoke blowing in from elsewhere. In Oregon on Sunday, a wildfire trapped 19 hikers for a time at Saddle Mountain State Park near Seaside.

Public Alzheimer’s meeting The Alzheimer’s Association of Western and Central Washington has scheduled a town hall meeting from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Aug. 20 at the Carl Gipson Senior Center, 3025 Lombard Ave. in Everett.

GRANTS PASS, Ore. — Firefighters battling 26 large fires across Oregon, Washington and Idaho braced Monday for dozens more as another round of lightning storms crosses the Northwest this week. The Northwest Interagency Coordination Center in Portland reports that intense lightning was expected Monday from the coast, across the Cascades and into Idaho. The storms start out mostly as dry lightning, and by Wednesday or Thursday should have some rain with them. “We’re in for it, I think,” center spokeswoman Carol Connolly said. Red flag warnings for hot weather and lightning stretched from Northern California, across Oregon and Washington state, into Idaho and western Montana. By midmorning Monday, there had already been 1,600 lightning strikes, most of them in south-central Oregon on the eastern side of the Cascades. In Oregon’s central

Cascades, crews chased after three dozen new fires started by lightning in the Willamette National Forest. With hot dry weather raising fire danger to a new high, the Washington Department of Natural Resources banned all outdoor burning on stateprotected lands, including campfires and charcoal in campgrounds. Computer models suggest 15 to 25 new fires could start, particularly in and around the Cascades, the center reported. Incident commanders at existing fires designated crews to be ready to attack the new fires as they erupt, Connolly said. Dozens of lightning fires have been burning across the Northwest for the past month and threaten more than 2,500 rural homes, but firefighters were making progress against most of them. The Carlton Complex in north-central Washington state, which burned across more than 400 square miles and destroyed more than 300 homes since it was ignited by lightning nearly a month ago, is 92 percent contained.

A look at Iraq’s new leader

As al-Maliki clings to power, al-Abadi tries to avoid sectarian war By Adam Taylor The Washington Post

With much of Iraq in chaos and a political crisis exploding in Baghdad, Haider al-Abadi was named the country’s new prime minister Monday. The hope is that a new leader can help unify the nation and lead it out of its brutal sectarian violence. But who is al-Abadi? Born in Baghdad in 1952, al-Abadi was educated at the University of Baghdad and later received a doctorate from the University of Manchester in Britain. He lived in Britain for many years after his family was targeted by Saddam Hussein’s Baathist regime. He was trained as an electrical

engineer, but he entered politics after the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003. He was a key

adviser to Nouri al-Maliki in Iraq’s first post-invasion elected government. Just weeks ago, he was elected deputy speaker of parliament, and he has been considered a contender for prime minister after the past two elections. The bigger question, however, is whether al-Abadi can overcome the challenges confronting Iraq more successfully than the incumbent, al-Maliki, who is still trying to cling to power. Like him, al-Abadi belongs to the country’s Shiite Muslim majority and is a member of the governing State of Law coalition. Al-Abadi does seem to be aware that the Iraqi government and security forces have

made serious mistakes in the current conflict. He told Hasan that the government needed to listen to stories of the “excesses” of the Shiite-dominated security forces to decide how to respond. And he was clear that Iraq had to avoid being dragged into the type of war the Islamic State clearly desires. “We have to be careful not to become involved in a sectarian war,” he told Hasan. “Shias are not against Sunnis and Sunnis are not against Shias.” Reidar Visser, an academic expert on Iraqi politics, said that although Abadi comes from the same political faction as al-Maliki, he enjoys much broader support, especially from Kurds and Sunnis.

Man tied to U.N. deaths to leave U.S.

DEA paid Amtrak $854,460 for free info WASHINGTON — The Drug Enforcement Administration paid an Amtrak secretary $854,460 over nearly 20 years to obtain confidential information about train passengers, which the DEA could have lawfully obtained for free through a law enforcement network, The Associated Press has learned. The employee was not publicly identified except as a “secretary to a train and engine crew” in a report on the incident by Amtrak’s inspector general. The secretary was allowed to retire, rather than face administrative discipline, after the discovery that the employee had effectively been acting as an informant who “regularly” sold private passenger information since 1995 without Amtrak’s approval, according to a one-paragraph summary of the matter.

Georgia: Federal judge accused of striking wife A federal judge was released from an Atlanta jail Monday after he was accused of hitting his wife when she accused him of infidelity. U.S. District Court Judge Mark Fuller, 55, is charged with misdemeanor battery and must appear in court again Aug. 22. According to the police report, both the Fullers admit to an alteraction, but each blamed the other as the aggressor. The report states that Kelli Fuller, 41, had cuts on her mouth and forehead when police arrived. She told police that her husband became violent after she accused him of having an affair. She said he pulled her hair, threw her to the ground and dragged her, kicked her and struck her several times in the face. Mark Fuller told police that his wife threw a drink glass at him. He told officers that he grabbed her hair and threw her to the ground to defend himself. Mark Fuller had no visible injuries, the report said.

A Detroit man denies involvement in the killing of 2 men 34 years ago. By Corey Williams Associated Press

DETROIT — A Detroit-area man suspected in the deaths of two United Nations peacekeepers in 1980 admitted Monday that he entered the United States without proper documentation and agreed to return to his native Lebanon. Mahmoud Bazzi, 71, wants to return to Lebanon through a route that does not take him through Europe, his attorney Karim Ajluni told immigration court in Detroit. The Irish government suspects Bazzi in the deaths of two of its soldiers assigned to United Nations peacekeeping duties in Lebanon. Bazzi isn’t charged with killing Derek Smallhorne and Thomas Barrett and insists he wasn’t involved. Frank Ledda, the government’s lawyer in the immigration case, said Bazzi’s deportation has nothing to do with those allegations. The agreement was “simply designed to remove him from the United States,” Ledda said. Bazzi and his attorney wanted him to travel directly to Lebanon, but Ledda said “there is no direct route that we can travel by.” Ajluni said Bazzi didn’t want to travel through Europe because of the Irish government’s interest in him. “We do not want any complications by any government officials or being stopped at an airport,” Ajluni said. “His order is very clear. He should be deported to Lebanon.” Khaalid Walls, a spokesman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, told The Associated Press that “the government hasn’t agreed to avoid any specific territory.” It wasn’t clear when Bazzi would leave the U.S., but deportations usually take about 30 days, Ajluni said. Homeland Security officials were holding him at the St. Clair County Jail. He was arrested in July. Bazzi entered in 1994 and later gave false information in immigration proceedings that led officials to grant him permanent residence status in the U.S., according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Immigration Judge David Paruch warned Bazzi — whose wife and three daughters will remain in the U.S. — that he will not be allowed to return for at least 10 years without permission from the U.S. government.

Displaced Iraqis from the Yazidi community cross the Iraq-Syria border at Feeshkhabour bridge.

They frantically search Iraq Yazidi families have lost each other in the chaos By Diaa Hadid Associated Press

SEMALKA, Syria — Trucks and jeeps trundled slowly across the pontoon bridge, packed with refugees, with children poking their dusty heads out of the windows and truck beds. Nearby, a distraught father frantically scanned them as they passed, hoping to catch sight of his missing son. Beside him, a young man searched for his sister, who he fears was snatched by extremists. Unknown numbers, perhaps hundreds, of men, women and children went missing in the chaos as tens of thousands of Iraqis from the Yazidi religious minority fled in a panic from marauding militants, then spent a week hidden in a barren mountain range before finally making their way into neighboring Syria. Some of the missing may have been gunned down by militants during the escape. Others were lost as families scattered in panic under gunfire from extremists chasing them into the mountains. Dizzy from thirst, some adults lost track of children in the crowds in the mountains.

Some women may have been abducted by militants. “There are many missing, many,” said Naji Khano, who lost his 17-year-old son Sherwan as he fled gunmen. “My sister is missing,” 22-year-old Amer Qassem said as he walked among the crowds. Qassem said he and dozens of his extended family fled their village of Tel Qassab the night of Aug. 2 when they heard fighters from the Islamic State group were approaching. As the sun rose, militants spotted them, and opened fire. “We ran everywhere, we were terrified. We lost each other,” Qassem said. The jeep zoomed away. As the extended family regrouped, they realized some women — maybe 10 — were missing. “My sister Amira was one of them,” he said. “My father is a broken man now, he does not know what to do if something will happen to her.” Two other men earlier told The AP they saw militants round up women at a checkpoint as they shot the men in two different villages. Dakhil Atuseld lost his sisterin-law Wadha and his aunt Laila as they fled the village of Siba under fire from militants. “They disappeared,” he said.

“We were for six days in the mountains without food and water, how could we know what happened to them?” The confusion of fleeing under fire was so great that Hanash Hamo can’t even say for sure who was last holding his 3-year-old daughter, Jalila. Now the girl has vanished, along with two others of his children, Suad and Azad, he said. “Can you find my children?” asked another elderly man, Hashem Saleh, when he saw a crowd gather around a reporter. His daughters, 12 and 15 years old, and two sons, 24 and 14, were gone, lost as the crowds descended from the mountain through a desert valley toward the Syrian border. “Who can help me find them?” Saleh pleaded, his white baggy pants, shirt and droopy moustache caked brown with dirt. Others tried to reassure him that his children probably hitched rides and were probably already in a camp for the displaced in northern Iraq. But he insisted he would not leave the border crossing until he found them. By evening, he was nowhere to be seen; there was no way of knowing if he found his family.

U.S. arms Kurdish forces By Craig Whitlock and Greg Jaffe The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — The U.S. government has begun to funnel weapons directly to Kurdish forces fighting Islamist militants in northern Iraq, U.S. officials said Monday, deepening American involvement in a conflict that the Obama administration

had long sought to avoid. The decision to arm the Kurds, via a covert channel established by the CIA, was made even as Pentagon officials acknowledged that recent U.S. airstrikes against the militants were acting only as a temporary deterrent and were unlikely to sap their will to fight. In a reflection of the administration’s reluctance

to fight another full-fledged war in Iraq, Lt. Gen. William Mayville, the director of operations for the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said there are no plans to expand the limited air campaign, which President Barack Obama ordered last week to prevent the massacre of Iraqi minorities and to protect U.S. military and diplomatic personnel in the northern city of Irbil.

Ohio: Executions stayed A federal judge has extended a months-long moratorium on executions in Ohio as debate over the state’s new two-drug combination continues. The moratorium was to end this week. The new order extends it through Jan. 15. That will delay executions scheduled for September, October, November and January, and highlights the ongoing problem faced by states in obtaining drugs to put inmates to death. The order affects the state’s latest death penalty policy change, which was announced in late April and increases the amount of the sedative and painkiller Ohio uses.

AROUND THE WORLD Ukraine: Red Cross can lead aid mission to war area The Red Cross will lead an international humanitarian aid operation into Ukraine’s conflict-stricken province of Luhansk with assistance from Russia, the European Union and the United States, Ukraine said Monday. The Kremlin earlier announced that it was dispatching the humanitarian convoy into eastern Ukraine, where pro-Russia separatists are battling the central government in Kiev. Such initiatives have previously faced sustained opposition from Ukraine and the West, who had feared they could act as a pretext for sending Russian troops into rebel-held territory. Ukraine and the West have long accused Russia of arming and supporting the rebels, a charge that Russia has denied.

Spain: Non-Africans get experimental Ebola drug Now it’s not just two Americans, but a Spaniard, as well: the three nonAfricans known to have Ebola got some of the very few doses that exist of an experimental drug aimed at treating the deadly disease. None of the more than 1,700 Africans sickened by Ebola have received this treatment. This drug, “ZMapp,” is so novel and unproven that not much is available and its effectiveness remains unknown. It could end up doing more harm than good. It would take months to produce the drug in any modest quantity, and even then, using it more widely would present other ethical dilemmas. But many Africans are seeing a larger, bitter truth in the fact that two Americans and a Spaniard were able to get this treatment after being infected in West Africa, where the hemorrhagic fever has raged for months.

Lithium batteries riskier on planes A pilots’ union is pushing for stricter regulations on the potentially explosive cargo. By Alan Levin Bloomberg News

WASHINGTON — New research shows that lithium batteries can explode and burn even more violently than previously thought, raising questions about their use and shipment on passenger airplanes. Because many airlines are replacing paper charts with laptops and tablet computers, the Federal Aviation Administration conducted tests on what would happen if one of their rechargeable lithium-ion battery cells ignited. In one test, the cockpit

filled with smoke thick enough to obscure instruments and vision out the window for about five minutes. The FAA’s findings, posted on the agency’s website, raise an even bigger issue beyond laptops as makers of the battery cells commonly ship the products in bulk in the cargo areas of passenger airplanes. One test found the batteries may blow up, which may render airplane fire-suppression systems ineffective. “That’s a result we haven’t seen before,” Mark Rogers, director of the Air Line Pilots Association’s dangerous goods program, said in an interview. “It’s certainly very sobering because that condition could happen on aircraft today.” ALPA is the largest pilots union

in North America. Fires involving lithium batteries have brought down two cargo airline flights since 2010 and prompted the FAA to ground Boeing’s 787 in 2013. Both FedEx Corp. and United Parcel Service Inc. are installing advanced fire-protection systems on their planes to combat battery-fed fires. The new research also creates a quandary for regulators, which were barred in 2012 by Congress from imposing standards on lithium battery shipments that would be stricter than those recommended by the United Nations’ International Civil Aviation Organization. The Department of Transportation and its Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration

can’t enact anything tougher than current ICAO standards unless “credible reports” emerge of actual on-board fires. “It’s set an incredibly high hurdle for us to see further regulations, but that doesn’t mean we’re not going to keep on pushing for it,” Sean Cassidy, national safety coordinator for ALPA, said in an interview. PHMSA said July 31 it’s adopting ICAO’s recommended standard for lithium battery cargo, which takes effect in the U.S. Feb. 1. The regulations will require improved packaging and notification, according to a press release. Passengers are still allowed to carry their phones, computers See BATTERIES, Page A8

ALBANY, Ga. — A former plant manager says he saw mildew, mold and dirty equipment at a Georgia peanut processor linked to a deadly salmonella outbreak. Samuel Lightsey testified Monday about photographs depicting plant conditions during the trial of his former boss, Peanut Corp. of America owner Stewart Parnell, and two others. Authorities traced an outbreak of salmonella in 2008 and 2009 to peanut products shipped from the plant. Parnell and his brother, food broker Michael Parnell, are accused of shipping tainted products to customers and covering up lab tests showing they contained salmonella.

The state Department of Revenue says taxable retail sales increased nearly 5 percent in the first three months of the year to more than $27 billion. The department said Monday there was an increase of about 19 percent in e-commerce and mail order sales. Auto sales, home furnishings and construction were all up more than 6 percent, compared to the same period last year. Taxable retail sales were up nearly 8 percent in Seattle and about 10 percent in Bellevue and Vancouver. Taxable retail sales were up about 5 percent in Spokane.

Faster FDA approval may benefit pharmaceutical lobbyists, but could also compromise patients’ health.

WASHINGTON — As an AIDS activist in the early 1990s, Gregg Gonsalves traveled to Washington to challenge the Food and Drug Administration. Gonsalves was part of the confrontational group AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power, which staged protests outside the FDA’s headquarters, disrupted its public meetings and pressured its leaders into speeding up the approval of experimental drugs for patients dying of AIDS. A quarter century later, Gonsalves still travels to Washington, but with a different agenda: to defend the FDA. At a recent forum on FDA issues, Gonsalves implored congressional staffers to protect the agency from growing anti-regulatory sentiment that he worries will roll back safety and effectiveness standards for all types of drugs. The efforts include new state laws designed to undercut the FDA’s authority by giving patients early access to unapproved drugs and a lobbying push by industry groups to speed up the time it takes the FDA to review new treatments. Both initiatives come at a time when researchers who study the FDA say the caricature of a slow, outdated bureaucracy is inaccurate. The FDA reviews most drugs in 10 months and high-priority drugs in six months or less. And a 2012 review in the New England Journal of Medicine showed that FDA regulators approve new drugs faster than their counterparts in Europe and Canada. “The rhetoric we hear today is that FDA stifles innovation, that FDA keeps drugs out of patients’ hands. And you know, that was our rhetoric in 1989,” says 50-year-old Gonsalves, now a program director at Yale University. “But there’s no countervailing narrative that we need a strong FDA.” The story of how Gonsalves

Al Jazeera America logs low ratings, high honors On its one-year anniversary, some wonder if there is a market for it amid the cable clutter. By David Bauder Associated Press

NEW YORK — Al-Jazeera America marks its first anniversary on the air next week, and if you haven’t watched much, you’re not alone. The news network has recorded some startlingly low ratings and recently shown signs of retrenchment with layoffs and by cutting some live newscasts. Al-Jazeera America has also won awards for its work, seen some recent audience growth and its chief executive insists a steady

growth plan is on target. After several unsuccessful years trying to get its Englishlanguage network carried widely in the United States, the Qatar-based Al-Jazeera bought and closed Al Gore’s Current TV network last year and set up the U.S.-focused AJAM to replace Al-Jazeera English in the U.S. It is now available in nearly 60 million cable and satellite homes, just over half the U.S. market. “The quality of the channel is very much what was promised,” said Dave Marash, a former reporter for ABC’s “Nightline” and Al-Jazeera English. “It is serious of purpose, by far the best news channel available to American viewers.” Al-Jazeera America won Peabody Awards for documentaries

on cholera in Haiti and a deadly factory fire in Bangladesh. The network had six first-place finishes in the National Headliner Awards, which honors notable journalism. Two weeks ago, the National Association of Black Journalists honored AJAM for “creative, compelling, characterdriven storytelling.” Aside from award judges, not many people have seen those stories. So far this year, Al-Jazeera America has averaged 17,000 viewers in prime time, ticking up to 23,000 during the first week of fighting in Gaza. CNN has averaged 453,000 and Fox News Channel 1.87 million in the same period, the Nielsen company said. See JAZEERA, Page A8

Facebook has friends in social media Facebook’s fight against prosecutors over nearly 400 search warrants for users’ postings and other data is drawing support from other social media companies. Lawyers for Foursquare, Kickstarter, Meetup, and Tumblr said they were seeking to join the clash on Facebook’s side. The New York Civil Liberties Union and the American Civil Liberties Union also have recently said they were backing Facebook. They see the warrants — for data including friend lists, photos, and private messages, many of them from users who have yet to be charged and may never be — as a troubling message for digitalage privacy.

Ehab Al Shihabi, AJAM’s chief executive, considers that comparison unfair. The other news networks have been operating much longer, and are available in more homes. Their audiences were small at the start, if they even allowed Nielsen to measure them, he said. AJAM’s first year should instead be judged on the quality of its journalism and growth in distribution, he said. “Americans are not yet aware of Al-Jazeera America,” Al Shihabi said. “We are, on a gradual basis, continuing our advertising, continuing our outreach. Awareness and perception will take time.” While the Israeli-Palestinian conflict gives the network a chance to showcase strength

Lithium packs are used to power a wide range of products, including Apple Inc. iPhones, electronic cigarettes and cameras. The market for rechargeable lithium batteries increased in value to $11.7 billion in 2013, from $3 billion in 2000, according to AVICENNE Energy, a Paris-based consulting company. There are two major categories of lithium batteries, rechargeable and non-rechargeable, and each burns differently.

in international reporting, Al Shihabi said it also covers stories in the U.S. that its rivals don’t. The prime-time newsmagazine “America Tonight” recently traveled to all 50 states for stories — reporting on gang violence in Alaska, a slow-moving project to sculpt the image of Crazy Horse on a South Dakota mountain and a woman in Detroit who makes coats for homeless people. Next month, director Alex Gibney delivers a new documentary on high school students’ lives. “I do think there’s a market for it,” said Jon Klein, a former CNN U.S. president whose new startup just launched an online channel for Sarah Palin. “But to launch a cable channel in America today is a scary proposition because there is so much clutter in the marketplace. It is as much a marketing proposition as

U.S. passenger airline flights have been prohibited since 2004 from carrying cargo with nonrechargeable lithium batteries. When they burn, they produce their own oxygen supply and can’t be extinguished by fire suppression systems installed on aircraft, according to FAA research. The rechargeable lithium-ion cells, which can burn more violently, have been allowed to be transported in the belly of U.S. passenger flights since previous testing showed that fire extinguishing systems were capable of containing any explosion. The new FAA research identified several new hazards in both category

a content proposition.” He’s not sure AlJazeera America has broken through with its message, saying people seem to be more aware of the swashbuckling news organization Vice. There were rough times for selling hard news, too. Fox and MSNBC are more known for their points of view while CNN, which suffered through some of its worst ratings ever this spring, is beefing up its nonfiction, non-news programming. From the start, critics said the name Al-Jazeera — conjuring memories of Bush administration criticism post-Sept. 11 — is a handicap in the U.S. Al-Jazeera is determined not to change it, not wanting to dilute its brand worldwide. AJAM laid off a few dozen journalists in April, and Al Shihabi recently told the staff that a smaller round of layoffs is coming.

went from FDA critic to supporter is intertwined with the AIDS movement’s impact — and its unintended consequences — on the agency. Groups like ACT UP showed that FDA’s bureaucracy could be influenced by outside pressure. Following protests by ACT UP, the FDA went from taking over two years to approve most drugs to clearing HIV drugs in a few months. In the early 1990s, those shorter review times were written into laws that have governed FDA procedures ever since. But while the push for everfaster reviews was kicked off by AIDS activists, it is now

primarily driven by pharmaceutical lobbying groups and libertarian think tanks. Since May, three states — Colorado, Louisiana and Missouri — have passed laws designed to allow terminally ill patients to receive experimental drugs that have not been cleared by the FDA. Arizona will vote on its own so-called “right to try” initiative in November and lawmakers in Florida, Oklahoma and Utah are set to introduce similar bills. Supporters have dubbed the measures “Dallas Buyers Club” laws, after the Oscar-winning movie about an AIDS patient who thwarts FDA regulators by smuggling in HIV drugs from overseas. Lawyers for the Goldwater Institute acknowledge that groups like ACT UP helped pave the way for their strategy,

though they say more deregulation is needed. Mark Harrington, executive director of the Treatment Action Group, says AIDS activists have long tried to distance themselves from such anti-Washington efforts. By the mid-1990s, Harrington and Gonsalves were actually pushing for longer, larger studies of HIV drugs. That’s because the first drugs approved by the FDA were linked to dangerous side effects, including anemia and nerve damage. Federal law makes clear that patients do not have a right to experimental drugs and the Supreme Court has refused to hear challenges to FDA’s authority over the matter. For its part, the FDA already gives dying patients access to unapproved medicines if drugmakers are willing to provide them.

IN OUR VIEW | Snohomish County’s economy

Diversification at Paine Field The future of Paine Field is (wisely) predicated on diversification. Managed the right way, its economic blueprint can be a template for Everett and the rest of Snohomish County. And that requires investment, creativity and moving beyond all-things-Boeing. As The Herald’s Dan Catchpole and Noah Haglund reported Sunday, Boeing was the springboard in the mid-1960s, jump-starting an otherwise sleepy former Air Force facility. Within a couple decades, Boeing’s expanded production line and attendant employment swelled. Aviation Technical Services Inc. (formerly Tramco) established itself, growing into one of the nation’s leading aviation

maintenance and repair operations. Boeing suppliers such as Korry, BE Aerospace, UTC Aerospace Systems and Honeywell took root along with multiple small businesses. Today, Paine Field is an economic linchpin. “Its main importance is that it’s the launching pad for virtually all the Boeing widebody programs,” Alex Pietsch, the governor’s top adviser on aerospace, told The Herald. The stats are staggering. By county estimates, Paine Field pumps $40 billion into the economy annually and supports 42,000 Boeing jobs alone. The latest diversification brainstorm involves a composite-material manufacturing research lab with satellite

locations in Port Angeles and Los Angeles (hopefully elevating the clean-energy industry by producing storage tanks strong enough to accommodate compressed fuels.) Education and job training also are key components. The opening in 2010 of the Washington Aerospace Training and Research Center at Paine Field, championed by state Rep. Mike Sells, D-Everett, provides an institutional pipeline for the aerospace and manufacturing sectors. All of this requires prudence and a long view of the area’s strengths and weaknesses. For nearly a quarter century, Dave Waggoner shepherded Paine Field, delivering for the airport and the county. His retirement

this month leaves a leadership vacuum that will be very tough to fill. That includes a patienceis-a-virtue MO. “We don’t put a high priority on developing quickly. I would rather wait for something that’s going to be here for 50 years,” Waggoner said. Waggoner’s wisdom should inform the future of commercial aviation at Paine Field, which would get off on the wrong foot if we gave away land, forfeited control over construction or yielded management of a terminal to a single airline. Market demand will drive investment. And thanks to Waggoner’s dedicated service, Paine Field should thrive for years to come.

on Rucker, Hoyt and Grand avenues. In fact, the trees in Legion Park showed little evidence of prior pruning and had been left to grow without much obvious maintenance. It is true that the location on the bluff exposes the park trees to wind so that branches and tops have occasionally blown out of the trees which require corrective pruning. There were no “screw-ups” and proper pruning has been accomplished by the parks professional staff of certified arborists since at least 1989. Problems with tree health in Legion Park are not a result of improper pruning, and the current parks staff of certified arborists does a completely professional job of tree care

in Legion Park and parks throughout Everett.

is based on profit — period, and there is already too much profit draining the dwindling dollars out of health care. I propose instead that health care be managed along the lines of a public utility with regional and local management through non-profit boards. Just look how financially sound the Everett Clinic, Providence Hospital and Group Health (all non-profits) remain in our community. Look how well the PUD has done for us. The list goes on. While we are at it, let’s do the same thing with the Internet, TV and cell phones!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■ LEGION PARK

Wrong to blame pruning mistakes I wish to set the record straight on some comments about trees in Legion Park, particularly the statements in a Herald article and an editorial that “trees were improperly pruned or topped, which facilitated rot” and that “with so many cases of improper pruning and topping, what safeguards are in place to minimize future screw-ups?” I don’t know where the idea of poor pruning and “screwups” came from. I was hired as the urban forester by Everett Parks in 1989 as a tree expert, an ISA certified arborist, with a master of science degree in forestry and a great deal of practical experience in tree care. I personally supervised my crews, certified arborists and their helpers, in properly pruning trees in Legion Park from 1989 and for the next 16 years. The wide variety of trees there, especially the big leaf maples, were a joy to work in because of the natural growth habit they exhibit, since they had never been submitted to the practice of topping, which of course promotes decay and tree failure. Before that time, topping had been standard practice along Everett’s streetscapes, especially for the large trees like big leaf maples

GUEST COMMENTARY | MUKILTEO POLITICS

Gregerson betrays trust right off the bat By Christine Awad Schmalz

he hiring of Sen. Marko Liias as a full-time policy analyst by Mukilteo, a city he also represents in the state Senate, has caused quite an uproar among City Council members and residents alike. Liias was hired even though he could not meet the full-time requirements of the position, as he would miss at least 105 days a year while serving in Olympia. At first he was offered a total compensation package of $83,505 for full-time work. Only after the hire, and after I raised my concern to the City Council and the mayor, explaining that Sen. Liias could not meet the full-time job requirement, was his pay adjusted downward to reflect his required annual leave of absence. The 14 other applicants who could meet the full time requirements did not stand a chance. Since the city does not have a human resources manager, an employee of the Mukilteo School District human resources department reviewed the initial applicants. One has to question why Liias was allowed to move on when it was clear he could not meet the full time requirements? Read on and you may understand why. Gregerson and Liias have had a longstanding friendship and have been

involved in each other’s political campaigns. They served on the Mukilteo City Council together; sat on the 21st Legislative District Democrats executive board together; they donated money and campaigned for each other. By convoluted means, Liias infused about $6,000 into Gregerson’s mayoral campaign. According to Public Disclosure Commission documents, Liias’ campaign surplus fund donated $11,000 to the 21st Legislative District Democrats victory fund in October 2012. At that time, Gregerson was the chairwoman and Liias was first vice chairman of that organization. On Oct. 15, 2012, the executive board of the 21st District Democrats approved a $10,000 donation from its victory fund to the One Washington Political Action Committee. Liias was the campaign director of the PAC and authorized how the money was to be spent. In October and November of 2013, the PAC spent $5,750 on direct mailers supporting Gregerson’s mayoral campaign. The money spent on Gregerson’s campaign was substantially higher than that of any other candidates to which the PAC donated. The maximum donation that an individual can give to a campaign is $950. By the circuitously directing of $5,570 to the Gregerson mayoral campaign, one could conclude that Liias donated six

times the maximum donation allowed. When Gregerson won her mayoral race, Liias was immediately named to her transition team. Duties of the transition team include assessing jobs such as city managers and other key personnel and deciding who to keep and who to fire. In April of 2014, the mayor asked the City Council to approve a new position of policy analyst. This would take the place of the executive assistant to the city administrator, a position that the mayor eliminated without cause. In May, Gregerson hired her close friend and political ally, Liias. I voted for Gregerson and supported her campaign after my husband, Steve Schmalz, lost his mayoral bid in the primary. Steve voted for her as well. This is not sour grapes, and we are not a “dogged duo” as Jerry Cornfield wrote in his July 31 article, “Dustup in Mukilteo could leave imprint on allies’ elections.” I was enthused about Gregerson being Mukilteo’s first female mayor and liked some of the changes she first made, but when she headed down the road of “old fashion cronyism” and “political payback” as part of the “good ole boys club” in politics, she lost my trust. Christine Awad Schmalz is a Mukilteo resident.

Bypassing politics to get high-speed rail on track

n Texas, a private company wants to build a bullet train joining Dallas and Houston. In California, the state is raising its own billions to create a very fast ride between Los Angeles and San Francisco. Two very different ways to fund highspeed rail, but they have one thing in common. They bypass the thousand-car pileup that is Washington politics. Perhaps it’s time for fans of high-speed rail to let some air into their thought box. Perhaps they should stop looking to Washington for direction and money. There are sevFROMA HARROP eral routes to this destination, and who cares which ideology drives the train? The drawbacks in counting on federal help for this undertaking are several. One is that most Republicans in Congress remain philosophically opposed to writing checks for such infrastructure. Another snag has been the Obama administration’s failure to smartly guide the $11 billion already committed to the cause since 2009. That money has reportedly been spent hither and yon, not focused on those densely populated regions where highspeed rail makes the most sense. In the Northeast corridor — where super-expensive Acela trains sell out, despite not being super-fast — scant high-speed money has arrived. California Gov. Jerry Brown is now thinking, “The heck with Washington.” He says that obtaining additional money to build the rail line is “well within the capability of the state of California.” Yes, it can. In June, the Democratic Legislature agreed to fund the project out of the cap-and-trade program (for curbing carbon emissions). And in other good news, an appellate court recently overturned an earlier, lower court ruling forbidding California to sell $9 billion worth of state bonds for the project. The main obstacle driving Brown away from a larger federal role has been a homegrown congressman — the new Republican majority leader, Kevin McCarthy of Bakersfield. McCarthy has made it his sacred mission to block any more federal money for the California project. “Republicans under Mr. McCarthy,” Brown said dismissively, “have decided that it’s better to treat high-speed rail as a political football than as a great civic opportunity.” Brown continues to push the rail plan — and in the face of rising costs, raining lawsuits and tiring public opinion. Good for him. That’s the nature of doing big things. The Golden Gate Bridge was not built without pain. In Texas, a company called Texas Central Railway envisions high-speed trains flying at over 200 mph between Houston and Dallas. We’re talking a 240-mile trip in less than 90 minutes. (The mostly flat landscape should help.) Lines could be extended to San Antonio and Austin in the future. And — music to the ears of most Texans — the project is not being subsidized by either the state or the feds. “We are a private company, employing a market-led approach,” Texas Central’s website says, employing all the right words. “Unlike other high-speed rail projects, we are not backed by public funds or your taxpayer dollars.” The project would have major Japanese input in both investors and technology. Japan does know all about high-speed rail. And it can’t be coincidental that the company’s senior adviser, Tom Schieffer, is a former U.S. ambassador to Japan. The shared virtue of both the Texas and the California approaches is that the backers don’t have to cut deals with powerful congressmen from sparsely populated districts, places not suitable for high-speed rail. Nor must they court Washington politicians hostile to public transportation. Would a transcontinental high-speed rail system be a neat thing? Sure. But that’s not going to happen now. These two projects — despite the major difference in their style of funding — could be a start. Is this any way to run a railroad? Yes and yes. Froma Harrop is a Providence Journal columnist.

Teen held on $1M bail in death of girl, 6 By Rachel La Corte Associated Press

PORT ORCHARD — A judge on Monday found probable cause to detain a 17-year-old boy under investigation in the death and sexual assault of a 6-year-old Bremerton girl. Judge Kevin Hull set bail at $1 million for Gabriel Gaeta after prosecutors said in court filings they had enough evidence to hold the teen on suspicion of first-degree murder with aggravating circumstances, felony murder and first-degree rape of a child. Kitsap County prosecutor Kelly Montgomery asked for the bail amount “based on the heinous nature of the crime that is alleged.” Court records released Monday showed 6-yearold Jenise Wright suffered blunt-force trauma to the head and was strangled and sexually assaulted.

Otter From Page A1

common in Western Washington, wildlife experts say they tend to avoid humans. Traci Belting works with river otters at the Seattle Aquarium as the curator of mammals and birds. She described them as fast-moving, flexible and agile creatures that can climb and swim. They’re clever, mischievous and opportunistic, she said. “There are river otters everywhere, and people may never see them because they can be pretty elusive,” Belting said. Otters are carnivores, and their relatives include weasels and wolverines.

Authorities said t h e y linked evidence f o u n d near the g i r l ’s KIRO body to the DNA Gabriel Gaeta, of Gaeta, 17, suspect in who was death of 6-yearf r i e n d s old Bremerton girl. with her family. Prosecutors are pursuing the case in Kitsap County Superior Court, where the teen is expected to be tried as an adult. The judge also granted prosecutors’ request for a mental-health review of Gaeta. After the hearing, Kitsap County Prosecutor Russ Hauge said they sought the competency evaluation to first determine whether they can charge the teen with anything. “Right now, we’re

Their family unit consists of a mother otter and pups, which usually stay together for about a year or until the mom gives birth to a new litter. There’s a strong bond between the mother and pups in that first year, Belting said. A mother defending her pups is one explanation for an otter attack. The other is a male otter defending what it perceives as its territory, said Jennifer Pramuk. She’s the curator who oversees the river otter exhibit, among other animal habitats, at the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle. “When you have a growing human population in areas that are fairly wild — whenever people and wildlife interact — you’re going to have risks

confident we can. We just want to nail that down,” Hauge said. A message left with Gaeta’s lawyer Monday was not immediately returned. Gaeta arrived in court with a black jacket over his head. He spoke softly as he answered the judge’s question. His next court date was set for Aug. 28. Jenise’s parents sat in the courtroom’s second row. James Wright, Jenise’s father, told The Seattle Times the suspect was a close friend of the family and had visited their home many times. “It’s devastating, and it’s going to be hard to forgive,” he said. Court documents lay out grisly details into the death of Jenise, who was last seen when she went to bed Aug. 2 at her family’s home in a Bremerton mobile-home park. Officials have said there were no signs of forced entry at

like that,” she said. River otters have large territories and can travel miles up and down rivers. However, Belting and Pramuk agree it is unlikely otters would return to the area after they’ve relocated. Myers said officials do not plan to continue searching or trapping on the Pilchuck River because they are confident the male otter was behind the attack. He urged people to continue to be cautious around wildlife. Any animal can be dangerous in the wrong circumstances.

the residence and no indication Jenise was taken from her room. The girl’s body was discovered Thursday almost entirely submerged in a nearby muddy bog. It appeared to have been moved between a halfhour and three hours after she died. Searchers found a small wood pallet over the body, and also located a nylon duffel bag on top of the pallet. They earlier discovered Jenise’s underwear and shorts about 15 to 20 feet from where her body was found. Authorities say forensic evidence analyzed by the Washington state crime lab linked the clothing to the teen’s DNA. The sheriff’s office collected DNA cheek swabs from Gaeta and dozens of other nearby residents during the investigation. Detectives interviewed the teen Saturday, during

which time he “clearly nodded yes” when they asked whether he was the only one involved, according to court documents. “Certainly, as you can see from the probable cause statement, his interactions suggested that he knew that responsibility was rightfully focused on him,” Hauge said. Authorities then searched his home and found evidence, including a blood- and mud-covered shirt and a bloody towel in Gaeta’s bedroom. His residence is two homes away from the access to a wooded trail leading to where the body was found, according to the court document. A growing memorial at the entrance to the neighborhood includes silver balloons, stuffed animals, lit candles and flowers. Katelynn Christenson and her friend Amanda Ungren, both 18, were

among those who crowded the courtroom Monday. The two said they went to the same junior high school as the suspect. They said they weren’t close with him but saw no signs of violence. “He was a nice kid,” said Christenson, who said she called her mother in tears when she heard who the suspect was. Ungren said she didn’t know Jenise’s family but lived in the same trailer park when she was a child. “It hit close,” she said. “I came to support her and only her.” In the days after Jenise’s disappearance, hundreds of people, including officers from 15 law enforcement agencies, searched for her and went door to door at the mobile-home park near Bremerton. They also pulled surveillance video from nearby businesses and checked in with sex offenders in the county.

Coast Guardsman sought in Bellingham death found dead Associated Press BELLINGHAM — A Coast Guardsman identified as a suspect in the slaying of a Bellingham woman has been found dead in an apparent suicide in a remote area near Show Low, Arizona, authorities said Monday. The U.S. Marshals Service said deputy marshals located Michael G. Arnold, 33, of Boise, Idaho, on Saturday at a family-owned Arizona cabin. Arnold had hanged himself, Deputy U.S. Marshal Frederick Freeman of Phoenix said in a statement. Deputy marshals saw

what appeared to be messages painted on the cabin’s exterior walls asking for forgiveness, Freeman added. Police in the northwest Washington city of Bellingham said they questioned Arnold last week in the Aug. 3 death of Abigail Gulotta, 59. Her body was found in her apartment by a co-worker when she didn’t show up at her job as a hairdresser. She was found dead from massive head trauma, the Bellingham Herald reported. Witnesses told police they saw Gulotta having drinks with several Coast Guardsmen late on Saturday, Aug.

2, at several bars, police Lt. Rick Sucee told the newspaper. The description of the person last seen with Gulotta early on Aug. 3 matched one Coast Guardsman in particular. By Aug. 6, when Arnold was brought in for questioning, Bellingham police said they considered him a “person of interest” in the death. After several hours of questioning, detectives had insufficient evidence to arrest Arnold, “mainly due to forensic evidence that could not be processed in time” but his statements “made him a stronger suspect,” Sucee said.

Health care tips for boomers

ome call the baby boom generation “the healthiest generation” because of their interest in health. You are part of the baby boom generation if you were born between 1944 and 1964. A large number of baby boomers are nearing retirement. Despite their apparent good health on a group basis, as this generation grows older, many still have pressing health care needs. Following are tips for common health and wellness concerns among baby boomers.

General health Physical fitness. A balanced program of aerobic and flexibility exercises and strength training helps strengthen your heart and muscles and slows down aging. Aim for doing at least 30 minutes five days a week. To prevent age-related sports injuries: First see your health care provider if you’re unaccustomed to exercise. Increase activity gradually. Warm up before you exercise and stretch afterwards. Invest in good equipment and properly fitting shoes, and learn about good technique. Healthy weight. Two-thirds of boomers are obese or overweight. A sensible program of weight loss and exercise can help you lose weight. Start with a modest program you can sustain such as eating 250 fewer calories each day and burning 250 more calories through exercise. This simple combination will leave you with a deficit of 500 calories per day, or 3,500 calories per week. Since there are 3,500 calories per pound of body fat, implementing the program can result in a weight loss of one pound a week.

Disease prevention Bone and joint issues. A healthy weight and regular exercise helps prevent arthritis and osteoporosis. Adequate calcium and vitamin D intake also helps keep bones strong. Cancer prevention. See your health care provider regularly for cancer-related check-ups. Cardiovascular disease. Heart disease and strokes are preventable with healthy diet, physical activity and control of high cholesterol and blood pressure. Diabetes and prediabetes. Increased blood sugar levels often accompany weight gain and inactivity. The American Diabetes Association recommends checking your blood level at least every three years. Anxiety and depression. See your health care provider if sadness or loss of pleasure in your usual activities goes on for two weeks or becomes severe. Vision and hearing loss. Weaker sight and hearing can sneak up on you, so have them checked regularly.

Michael Gardner inks Sandra Hippen’s leg at Tattoo Garden in Everett. Hippen’s first tattoo features the names of her two granddaughters.

Granny’s got a tattoo As body art gains wide acceptance, even older folks are getting inked By Andrea Brown Herald Writer

All grandparents adore their grandchildren. This grandma wanted to show the world how much. Sandra Hippen had the names of her two granddaughters prominently tattooed on her leg. “I’ve been talking about it for 10 years,” said Hippen, a retiree from South Dakota who spends summers with the grandkids in Bothell. She finally did it last week at Tattoo Garden in Everett. “I’m 63, getting my first tattoo,” she said. Getting tattooed is no longer taboo, whether you’re 18 or 80. “People start at all different ages,” said Michael Gardner, owner of Tattoo Garden. “I get a full range.” Gardner will be among the featured artists at this weekend’s Seattle Tattoo Expo, a three-day event celebrating the art and culture of tattoos for all ages. It’s for the un-inked and ink-aficionados alike. In Gardner’s 20 years of using skin as a canvas, he has tattooed every area of the body imaginable. He has done all the usual

flowers, skulls and busty women as well tattoos commemorating love and family that go beyond those “Mom” hearts. Hippen found Gardner through a friend’s recommendation. “I came and talked to him and first impressions are important to me,” she said. “I really liked him and I went, ‘OK, he’s the guy.’” Gardner said checking out an artist’s credentials is important. “Know who you are dealing with,” he said. “Hold them to a high professional standard, just like you would a doctor or a dentist or any other licensed professional. I think my place is a little funkier than your average dentist office, but it’s just as important to hold those standards.” Hippen provided the idea to use her granddaughter’s first and middle names, Avery Autumn and Riley Skye. She figured her

Unorthodox tactics to fight type 1 diabetes

e were invited to stroll through stunning vineyards as we made our way to picnic tables shaded by giant oaks trees. While we munched on lunch, Clarence the Clown entertained us with colorful balloons, magic tricks and his own brand of nutrition humor: “Cannibals don’t like clowns, you know, they taste funny.” It was an unorthodox kickoff to the annual Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) “Walk for a Cure,” acknowledged chairperson Sandra Silvestri, who hosted the event at her family-owned vineyard in Carmel Valley, Calif. A good reminder though, of some unique treatments coming down the pike to control and one day cure this serious disease.

Unlike type 2 diabetes that is closely tied to genetics, excess weight and lack of exercise, type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease. In type 1, the body — for some unknown reason — attacks and destroys its own insulinproducing cells. Since insulin is vitally needed to direct energy (glucose) from food into cells, people with type 1 diabetes are dependent on multiple daily injections of insulin for survival. Silvestri’s son, Joey, now 24, was 2 years old when he was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Type 1 doesn’t just strike children, however. It can affect adults as well. And, no, you don’t get type 1 diabetes from eating too much sugar. A lack of insulin causes excess sugar (glucose) to a build

up in the blood and leads to major complications, however. And because insulin doses must constantly be matched to food and exercise habits, extreme highs or lows of blood sugar levels are a constant threat to a person with type 1 diabetes. That’s where JDRF comes in. Besides funding research to find a cure for type 1 diabetes, this charitable organization provides support to families who live with this disease. A mentoring program, for example, pairs newly diagnosed children and adults with those who know what it’s like, says JDFR representative Mia McKee. Most of the money raised by JDRF goes directly to research and clinical trials, says Silvestri. “We’re working all ends of the spectrum,”

she said, “so this help gets into the hands of our loved ones.” For example, researchers are now testing an artificial pancreas — a device to automatically control blood sugar levels based on a person’s daily habits. And a “smart” insulin that turns on when it is needed and turns off when it’s not is currently under investigation. “JDRF will lead us to a cure,” said executive director Julia Rickert. And that takes continued funds for research. “Let’s turn type 1 into type none,” Silvestri concluded.

Big sis resents attention paid to little brother

DAILY CROSSWORD

Dear Carolyn: I’m the eldest of four children, my family’s “guinea pig.” Despite that, I did very well, my parents were very supportive, and I have generally loved being an eldest sister. However, Brother is now 13 and applying to high schools. He and my parents feel an all-boys school is better than my high school, and although they say they are proud of me, I can’t help but feel slighted. It also seems like my parents are putting more time into my brother than they did into me. They keep track of his homework, help him study for the standardized test coming up, and so on. Dad also decided to teach Brother coding and robotics. I missed out on this, though he intends to teach me over break. Part of me is really proud to see Brother being so successful, and part of me is jealous that I didn’t get this kind of attention. How do I get over these feelings so I don’t end up resentful? — Sibling Parents often talk about how each of their kids has different needs. What you don’t hear as much is that each kid often gets different parents. People change through experience and happenstance and just general erosion. You can’t get mad at your parents for

CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT learning to be better parents — well, you can, but it seems to be about as productive as getting mad at dogs for being hairy. Consider this, too: You, as the oldest, got your novice parents’ full attention as a baby while the youngest probably did some hard playpen time. That’s just how big families make it all work. Then, as the older kids are successively catapulted out of the house, the youngest remains to soak up the full attention of now veteran parents. I can’t tell you how to feel, but I can speak for myself: I try to save my jealousy and resentment for responses to the deliberate behavior of others, instead of wasting it on accidents of fate or timing. (Then of course I try not to feel jealous or resentful at all, because that just takes crappy circumstances and adds crappy feelings to them

Right. Middles often enjoy an opportunity to be out of the glare of their parents’ attention, allowing more room to try different things. They get parents that aren’t as green as the ones the olders had, but not as burned out as the youngers.

Woman mistaken for cougar wants a big cat

THE NEW YORK TIMES CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Abby: I’m a single woman in my late 30s and have an 18-year-old daughter. When I am alone or out with my girlfriends, I am constantly hit on by younger men. My girlfriends say it’s because I don’t look my age and that I should feel flattered. Well, I am not a “cougar,” and I don’t get turned on by younger men. I find it offensive when I am approached by them. While my single friends are being asked on romantic dates by professional older men, I’m being asked on dates by struggling college boys who have no car, no job and cramped living quarters with three other roommates. Give me a break! It has reached the point that I just pretend to be married. But it’s starting to bother me that mature men don’t find me attractive. I have stopped wanting to go out because of this. What should I do? — In A Funk In Fresno Dear In A Funk: Where’s your sense of humor? Instead of telling these young men you’re married, why not tell them something closer to the truth — that you’re old enough to be their mother and ask if they happen to have a single uncle. Seriously, if the only men who pay attention to you are men in their early 20s, your problem may be the way you’re packaging the product you’re trying to sell. Your makeup, hairstyle and attire may send the wrong message, and that’s why men in your target demographic aren’t showing an interest. Talk to your friends about this and see what they have to offer.

work “regular” hours. I also care for my aged mother, which is like having another job. Because of this, I have little time to myself or to relax. During warm weather I enjoy taking an occasional break on my back deck, whether reading materials for work, enjoying a novel or catching a quick nap. Frequently, I’ll transact business on my cellphone. Anytime my neighbor sees me sitting on my deck, he’ll come out of his house. He thinks it’s funny to say things like, “Boy, I wish I could be like you and not have to work,” or “Must be nice to just sit around.” How can I nicely let my neighbor know his joke is now stale and no longer appropriate? With all the pressure I’m under, he’s making even a quick break stressful. — Behind The 8-Ball In Ohio Dear Behind The 8-Ball: Your neighbor may be a tad jealous of what he perceives as all your free time, or he may be a one-joke wonder who’s trying to be friendly. But the nicest and most direct way to get your message across would be to explain that you’re not only working from home, but also caring for your mother — and when you take these breaks, SOLITUDE is necessary.

â€˜Harryâ€™ questions wonâ€™t stop

Competing comic â€˜consâ€™ battle over event name

By Ryan Pearson Associated Press

SAN DIEGO â€” J.K. Rowling published a new Harry Potter short story last month. And Daniel Radcliffe braced himself once again. The 25-year-old British star faces consistent and persistent questions from fans and the press about whether heâ€™ll return to the character that he spent much of his childhood playing. Rowlingâ€™s story of a 34-year-old Potter posted online was not going to help matters. â€œI go, â€˜OK, thank you, Jo. Iâ€™ll be answering questions about this,â€™â€? Radcliffe said in a recent interview. â€œShe canâ€™t help it. She wrote me 10 years older and people are still asking me if Iâ€™m going to be doing it. Heâ€™s 10 years older than I am in this story so itâ€™s really not even a hypothetical at the moment. I would obviously never say never because thatâ€™s a foolish

thing to say, but I would have to think long and hard before I ever went back to anything.â€? Radcliffe was at Comic-Con International in San Diego promoting one of his two upcoming films, the darkly comic horror tale â€œHorns.â€? In it, he plays a man accused of

killing his girlfriend who grows horns that prompt people around him to reveal their darkest secrets. The actor is used to hearing unexpectedly personal stories from strangers. Fans tend to overshare some of their troubles when they get a chance to meet the man who played the famously scarred boy wizard in eight movies from 2001 to 2011. â€œBeing a celebrity who is associated with something that was very much part of peopleâ€™s childhoods and very close to a lot of peoplesâ€™ hearts, yeah, you get people who do come up to you,â€? he said. â€œAnd Iâ€™m always happy to talk to people. I never mind hearing something deeply personal, but I always do think, â€˜Should you be telling me this?â€? â€œHorns,â€? directed by Alexandre Aja, is set for release Oct. 31.

SALT LAKE CITY â€” Organizers of the biggest comic-book convention in the nation sued their counterparts in Salt Lake City over the eventâ€™s name, saying it confuses fans into thinking the two are affiliated. San Diego Comic-Conâ€™s lawsuit, which was filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in Southern California, says the use of â€œcomic conâ€? in Salt Lake Comic Conâ€™s name constitutes federal trademark infringement. Utah organizers have been capitalizing on San Diegoâ€™s â€œcreativity, ingenuity and hard workâ€? through unauthorized use of its trademarks to promote their own convention, said the complaint. The conventions have become a pop-culture phenomenon and feature movies, television shows, gaming, sci-fi/fantasy and comic books. Many attendees dress up as their favorite characters. Salt Lake City organizers say dozens of similar conventions across the country brand their events as comic cons and they are prepared to defend themselves against the lawsuit. They refused to back down after receiving a cease-and-desist letter from San Diego organizers last month. â€œWe really feel like they donâ€™t have a basis for this,â€?

What you need to know about tattoo health risks Herald news services When safety standards are followed, tattoos are usually trouble-free. But tattoos can pose health risks that many people might not consider. Unsterilized tools or contaminated ink can lead to infection, scarring, bloodborne diseases and other, less-obvious issues. Contaminated inks were the cause of an outbreak

of serious infections in four states in late 2011 and early 2012. Last month, a California company, White and Blue Lion Inc., recalled inks in in-home tattoo kits after testing confirmed bacterial contamination in unopened bottles. Ingredients in tattoo ink vary, but they can contain metals, powders or other organic compounds in a liquid base. Problems can range from allergic

reactions to scarring and the formation of bumpy knots called granulomas, more common in people with darker skin. The longterm effects of ink are still unknown. When you get a tattoo, you bleed. Anything in contact with the tattoo — bacteria, viruses — can get into the wound and your entire body. MRI patients should notify their radiologist that

they have a decorative or permanent tattoo so that the appropriate precautions can be taken. Tattoos can also prevent the early detection of skin cancer by camouflaging changes in asymmetry, borders, color and diameter. The ink from the tattoo can mask changes in the mole. The Food and Drug Administration regulates tattoo ink but considers it

Smoots

a cosmetic and intervenes only when problems arise. The FDA has not actually approved any tattoo ink, and there is no specific requirement that explicitly says tattoo inks must be sterile. The easiest — and most important — way to avoid becoming a tattoo horror story is to research the tattoo parlor and review your personal health history ahead of time.

Tattoo: ‘It kind of feels like you’ve cut your finger’ From Page B1

“I wasn’t planning on this big,” she said. “But when I saw it I said, ‘OK, we’re going to do it.’” It went off without a flinch or wince. Hippen, sprawled on a table, looked so relaxed it was like she was getting a massage. The loud buzz of the needle didn’t disturb the mellow mood in the airy studio. Nor did the pain of the rapid zings penetrating skin with ink. “It kind of feels like you’ve cut your finger,” Hippen said, “but then as soon as he’s done, it’s gone. It’s not a constant thing. The longer he does it the less it hurts.” Gardner frequently paused to wipe oozing ink and blood with a wet cloth. “That feels good,”

Tattoo tips Here are some tips from Tattoo Garden, 5205 S. 2nd Ave., Everett. For more information, visit www.tattoogarden.net. ■ Keep the bandage on for at least three hours. You can keep it on longer if you want, but not more than 12 hours.

Hippen said. The cost came to about $300. She also got a term of endearment for her husband tattooed on the inside of her ankle: his nickname with a tiny heart. “On our second date I started calling him ‘Hipshot.’ It’s a nickname that I gave him 35 years ago,” she said. “He’ll be pleasantly surprised, I think.” Andrea Brown: 425339-3443; abrown@ heraldnet.com.

Get inked

The Seattle Tattoo Expo, with ink, art, contests, music, burlesque and entertainment, is August 15, 16 and 17 at Fisher Pavilion, Seattle Center. ■ Wash it as soon as you take the bandage off. Use warm/hot water and a fragrance free soap to get it totally clean. Get all the slime and gunk off of it, this may mean lathering and rinsing several times. Use your fingertips, nothing rough like a washcloth. ■ Once your tattoo is clean

you can blot it dry with a clean towel. Let it air dry and keep an eye on it for a few minutes. If it oozes or gets sticky then you should wash it again. ■ Wash your tattoo two or three times a day for two weeks. It’s good for you. ■ After the first day or two you might notice your tattoo

feeling dry and tight. You can use a white, unscented hand lotion on it whenever it feels like it needs it. Make sure to wait 15 minutes after you wash it so it’s dry before using lotion. ■ It will start flaking and itching after a few days. This is normal so don’t panic. Your tattoo is not coming off.

Anxiety vs. panic: What’s the difference? Anxiety is any kind of uneasiness or fear about small or large problems or potential misfortunes. It’s a feeling we all experience occasionally as part of normal life. But when anxiety is frequent or severe it can become a health problem, especially if it interferes with sleeping, working or other daily activities. Anxiety disorders come in several forms. Panic disorder is a specific type of anxiety condition in which sudden episodes of intense fear occur repeatedly. Physical symptoms such as rapid heart rate, sweating, shakiness, faintness, throat tightness and shortness of breath are often part of the panic attacks. The good news is that effective treatments are available for panic disorder and other anxiety conditions. See your provider to discuss your options. Treatment may consist of a combination of lifestyle changes, relaxation techniques, counseling or medications.

M’s break out thunder sticks

The Mariners’ Robinson Cano (22) celebrates with Kyle Seager after Cano hit a solo home run in Seattle’s seven-run sixth inning in Monday’s game against the Blue Jays.

Felix dominates Jays, M’s score 7 runs in 6th en route to 11-1 win By Tim Booth Associated Press

SEATTLE — For all that Felix Hernandez has done in his career, pitching meaningful games in the final two months of the season has been a rarity. With Seattle in the thick of the wild-card chase in the American League, Hernandez got the Mariners most anticipated home series since 2007 off to an electric start on Monday night.

Hernandez allowed one run in seven strong innings, extending his major league record streak, and Robinson Cano provided a jolt of run support as Seattle romped to an 11-1 win over the Toronto Blue Jays. Hernandez twirled another gem, making his 16th straight start of at least seven innings while allowing two earned runs or less. Hernandez needed just 96

Fun night at the ballpark

EATTLE — A few minutes before Felix Hernandez fired the game’s first pitch, fans were already fired up. The singing of “O Canada” was met with audible groans from fans in Edgar’s Cantina. The Blue Jays contingent, and it was significant, responded by playfully booing “The Star-Spangled Banner.” Two hours later, lighting and thunder punctuated a seven-run Mariners sixth, rain poured on a gleeful packed house that didn’t seem to mind a tardy appearance from Safeco Field’s retractable

Twitter Q&A turns ugly for FSU’s Winston Associated Press TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — A Florida State social media campaign turned ugly Sunday when the university’s athletic department opened their Heisman-winning quarterback up to nationwide mockery. The department attempted to engage fans on Twitter by soliciting questions to be used for a video on the team website. The hashtag “(hash)AskJameis” became a trending topic on twitter for a time Sunday — for all the wrong reasons. The twitter feed was bombarded by accounts making fun of Winston and taking shots at the sophomore. Winston has been heavily criticized for several offthe-field incidents during his time at Florida State. He was investigated in an alleged sexual assault of a female student last season, but was never charged. Winston was suspended from the baseball team for three games and ordered to perform 20 hours of community service after being cited for stealing $32 of crab legs from a local grocery store. There were also other minor run-ins with authorities, but no arrests. The Twitterverse quickly went on the attack. “I knew there was going to be some negativity going into it,” said Elliott Finebloom, FSU sports information director. “The goal of the Twitter Q&A was to continue to find ways to connect our fans and the players they support.” The tweets covered a wide range from witty to malicious. One post read: “Do you know that you have to Buy One to get One Free at Publix?” Another read: “Who gave you better protection last year — your offensive line or the TPD?” TPD is shorthand for the Tallahassee Police Department. “This was doomed from the beginning,” said Robert Stewart, director of the Ohio University school of journalism. “It’s basically a setup. Whoever thought this was a good idea had not done P.R. 101, which is to think about what all could go wrong. Everything about this was naive.”

Lack of available arms and organizational restraints have forced Everett into using position players on the mound. By Nick Patterson Herald Writer

EVERETT — The Everett AquaSox pitching staff is stretched to the limit. Everett’s roster has been whittled down to the bone, and the Sox are scrambling just to get all the innings filled. When reliever Vinny Nittoli was shut down for the season with an elbow injury, it left Everett with just 12 pitchers on staff, which is a minuscule number for a team in the shortseason Single-A Northwest League. “Yeah, things (are stretched),” Everett pitching coach Nasusel Cabrera confirmed. “We’re short on pitchers.” In the low minors, teams regularly use three relievers in a game, and pitchers never throw in back-to-back games. If a reliever goes more than one inning, he usually requires two days off. The Seattle Mariners, Everett’s parent club, also have instituted new rules in which pitchers who have high pitch counts in an inning must be removed.

Therefore, having just seven pitchers in the bullpen puts a serious strain on the staff. It hasn’t helped that Everett has received so few innings from its starters. Ryan Yarbrough has been excellent, but he’s been limited to three innings in all of his starts following a heavy workload this spring at Old Dominion University. Meanwhile, Luiz Gohara’s struggles have seen him reach the fourth inning in just two of his seven starts — including pitching just 51⁄3 innings combined over his past three outings. That wouldn’t be a problem if Everett was carrying 17 or 18 pitchers as it does in a typical season. However, with just 12 arms available that becomes a major issue. “It’s been tough,” Cabrera said. “Sometimes guys should only go one inning, but I’m forced to have them go two. So it’s tough.” The problem is so acute that the Sox have used position players on the mound an unprecedented number of times this season. Both

infielder Jordan Cowan and catcher Luke Guarnaccia have made three relief appearances already this season, and they haven’t just come in mop-up duty as each has taken a loss. Cowan was held out of the lineup for Saturday’s game in Spokane specifically in anticipation of being needed on the mound, and with the bullpen required to throw eight innings in Sunday’s game, it seems likely a position player will be called into duty again later this series. The pitching shortage seems to be a system-wide issue for the Mariners. The teams immediately above and below Everett — Clinton of the mid Single-A Midwest League and Pulaski of the rookie Appalachian League — each have just 13 active pitchers on their rosters. In addition, in the past two weeks the Mariners had to promote pitchers from the Dominican Summer League and the Venezuelan Summer League to Peoria of the rookie Arizona League, which is something of a rarity midseason. Cabrera was hoping some relief would soon be on the way in the form of new pitchers. But until then, the Sox will be forced to continue scrambling.

ballpark, which is to say, it was a very fun night at the ballpark. Nothing was decided Monday except for a single baseball game between two American League contenders — the Mariners and Blue Jays came into the game tied in the Wild Card standings. But, boy did this one just feel big. Welcome to Mariners baseball, 2014 version, where games in mid August aren’t just important, they come with a playoff-like atmosphere complete with a side of nationalism to spice things up. If there’s been a more exciting, meaningful game in this stadium this late in the season since, say, 2003, I can’t remember one. The Mariners haven’t been this good, this late in the season for a very long time. For far too long, this kind of buzz was only evident at Safeco Field on opening day. And for far too long, these kind of crowds only came with the presence of a desirable bobble head. But on a steamy Monday night, 41,168 showed up to see the Mariners beat the Blue Jays 11-1 not because of a gimmick, but because of baseball games with playoff implications, an ace on the mound, and yes, because a huge number of Canadians made their way down from British Columbia. We haven’t seen playoff baseball in Seattle since 2001, but for a night, and likely for this entire series between two teams battling for a wild card berth, this felt a heck of a lot like a playoff atmosphere, never mind a few “U.S.A.” chants to spice things up. “This is definitely a big series,” said third baseman Kyle Seager. “We definitely know where we stand and where they are, everybody’s right in the hunt, so it’s definitely got a lot of buzz around it for sure in the locker room. But at the

same time, you have to treat it like we’ve been doing. We’ve been playing hard every game, so we’re not going to play extra hard.” Players can’t overreact to a single series, not when there are still 44 games left on the schedule, but why the heck can’t fans? It’s sometimes hard to remember seeing as it’s been so long, but when the Mariners are playing well, this is a hell of a baseball town. And even if players can’t put too much weight into a single game or a single series, they can appreciate what it means to be playing big games this late into summer, especially players who have been here for a few years. “It’s great,” Seager said. “It’s something that a lot of us haven’t been able to do, which is why were here. This what you want to be doing, you want to be playing for something bigger than you, and that’s what this is. This has been exciting. This is baseball, this is what we all signed up for.” As fun as Monday night was at the Safe, it was also, in a way, just the beginning. If the Mariners are going to continue to stay in the hunt for their first postseason berth since 2001, the next seven weeks will be full of big games and big series.

“I think people are excited about what’s happening,” Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon said. “The one thing I caution is I don’t know what’s going to happen. I’m going to enjoy the journey and I told my players to enjoy the journey. We’re in it, it’s an exciting time. I like our chances, I like my team, let’s see what happens. Should be fun.” Enjoy the journey, McClendon says. He’s right, we don’t know how this is going to end, or if the Mariners can score runs consistently enough to support their superb pitching staff, or if said pitching can continue its absurd run to carry an oft-struggling lineup. But at least fans have a journey to enjoy in August. Sure, every night won’t be full houses, Robinson Cano home runs and thunderstorms, but Monday night was just a glimpse of what baseball can be in Seattle if the Mariners keep winning. “It’s been really exciting,” Seager said before the game. “You can feel it when you’re out there playing. The crowds have been a lot bigger, a lot more into it, a lot more electric.” A few hours later, lightning struck. Herald Writer John Boyle: jboyle@heraldnet.com.

Marshall’s return lifts Sounders By Don Ruiz The News Tribune

TUKWILA — Chad Marshall returned to the Seattle Sounders lineup Sunday, and winning returned with him. The Sounders had been sailing along with the best record in Major League Soccer before Marshall missed a couple of games with a back injury suffered in what had seemed to be a minor automobile accident. He ended up missing two games, and the Sounders lost both of them. Marshall returned over the weekend and Seattle bounced back with a 2-0 win over the Houston Dynamo. The win also returned the Sounders to the top of the

MLS standings. “Nice to have Chad back,” coach Sigi Schmid said. “He makes good plays, he wins headers, helps break up attacks. His knowledge as to when to step in is very good.” Marshall said it was nice to be back, although he stressed that he wasn’t solely responsible for putting an end to those back-to-back losses. “Obviously, all credit (for the shutout goes to goalkeeper Stefan Frei),” Marshall said. “He made some huge saves for us. It’s always nice to get a zero and get three points at home.” Still, the numbers show that the Sounders are a tougher team — certainly a tougher defense — with the 11-year

veteran central defender on the pitch. In the 19 regular-season games Marshall has started since coming to Seattle in an offseason trade, the Sounders are 13-4-2 while allowing 1.3 goals per game with seven shutouts. With Marshall out, Seattle is 0-2 while allowing two goals per game with no shutouts. Marshall was able to return to full training last week, and then played all 90 minutes Sunday against the Dynamo. He apparently came through fine and should be available this week when the Sounders play a U.S. Open Cup semifinal against Chicago on Wednesday before returning to league play Saturday at Real Salt Lake.

Lightning delays Frogs game By Nick Patterson Herald Writer

EVERETT — The Everett AquaSox and Spokane Indians were tied 2-2 in the bottom of the ninth inning Monday night at Everett Memorial Stadium when the game was delayed because of lightning. The game resumed and was in the bottom of the tenth inning at press time, with Spokane leading 3-2. Everett had the winning run on second with one out in the bottom of the ninth when, after repeated lightning strikes in the distance, the umpires decided to pull the teams off the field for safety purposes. Spokane scored two runs in the top of the first inning. The first three batters of the game reached base, with Jose Trevino’s single to left driving in the first run. Pepe Cardona later added a sacrifice fly to left to give the Indians a 2-0 lead. Everett got one back in the bottom of the second when Corey Simpson launched a long solo home run to left leading off the inning. The homer ended a stretch of 12 innings without a hit for the Sox. The Sox then tied it in the seventh. With runners on first and second Jordan Cowan hit a grounder to the right side of the infield. Indians second baseman Isiah Kiner-Falefa ranged to get it and threw to first, but no one was covering the bag, and Adam Martin raced around from second to make it 2-2. Everett, with a depleted bullpen, received a much-needed 62⁄3-inning effort from starting pitcher Ramire Cleto. Then reliever Hawtin Buchanan struck out five in 21⁄3 innings of scoreless relief.

Ward promoted Sox infielder Nelson Ward was promoted Monday to Clinton of the mid Single-A Midwest League. Ward, the Seattle Mariners’ 12th-round pick in this year’s amateur draft out of the University of Georgia, appeared in 31 games with the Sox, batting .223 with two home runs and 11 RBI. Before that he batted .340 in 11 games with Pulaski of the rookie Appalachian League.

No-hitter redux When Everett was no-hit by Spokane on Sunday, it was the first time the Sox were no-hit since Salem-Keizer’s Craig Wescott, Brandon Graves and Wilber Bucardo combined to nohit Everett on Aug. 22, 2009. Everett has been no-hit five times in the franchise’s 31-year history, three times as the Everett Giants and twice as the Everett AquaSox. Everett has thrown just one no-hitter as Maximo Aleys no-hit Bend on July 21, 1989 as a member of the Giants.

Pirates place McCutchen on DL Associated Press PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Pirates have put star center fielder Andrew McCutchen on the 15-day disabled list because of a broken rib after waiting a week to see how it would heal. The Pirates promoted righthander Casey Sadler from Triple-A Indianapolis before Monday’s game against the Detroit Tigers. McCutchen’s move was listed as Aug. 4, the day after he left a game at Arizona with pain in his side following a swing. The previous day, he was hit in the same area by a pitch from Diamondbacks reliever Randal Delgado. The Pirates felt McCutchen was hit in retaliation for Arizona All-Star first baseman Paul Goldschmidt sustaining a season-ending broken left hand a night earlier when hit by Pittsburgh reliever Ernesto Frieri. McCutchen is batting .311 with 17 home runs and 67 RBI this season.

Taylor gets day off, Miller starts at shortstop

Toronto Seattle

The News Tribune

SEATTLE — The Seattle Mariners Brad Miller drew his first start since Aug. 3 when manager Lloyd McClendon opted to rest rookie shortstop Chris Taylor. “He’s playing for a couple of reasons,” McClendon said. “He needs to get some at-bats. My old skipper used to say everybody needs to feel like a hero every now and then. “But more importantly, I need to give the kid (Taylor) a (break), too. He’s been going at it, and I’m sure it’s been pretty emotional for him. It’s a good chance to get him off his feet.” Taylor is batting .400 (18-for45) in 14 games since his July 24 promotion from Triple-A Tacoma. He also has at least one hit in each of his 12 starts. Miller batted .199 in 91 games before losing his job to Taylor.

Short hops The Blue Jays, after playing 19 innings Sunday, bolstered their bullpen by promoting left-hander Brad Mills from Triple-A Buffalo. They cleared space by optioning infielder Ryan Goins to Buffalo. ... The Mariners entered Monday with a 2.99 ERA. No American League club has finished with a sub-3.00 ERA since the 1974 Oakland A’s (2.95). ... Umpire Quinn Wolcott, who worked the plate in Monday’s game, is a Puyallup native who went to Emerald Ridge High School. He is in his first season as a full-time umpire at the major-league level. ... The Mariners entered the week with a 12-1 record on Monday. That was the best Monday record in the majors. The second-best was Baltimore at 10-3. ... The Mariners also entered Monday with an MLB-best 25-14 record in series openers. The Orioles were second at 24-15.

Looking back It was five years ago Tuesday — Aug. 12, 2009 — that Ken Griffey Jr. hit a two-out, walk-off single in the 14th inning that provided the game’s only run in the Mariners’ 1-0 victory over the Chicago White Sox at Safeco Field. Griffey’s single came against reliever Tony Pena and marked the ninth walk-off hit of his career. It ended the first game in Mariners’ history to remain scoreless into the 14th inning. Want to guess the Mariners’ starting pitcher? Yes, it was Felix Hernandez, who worked seven innings with 10 strikeouts before handing a scoreless game to the bullpen. Current Blue Jays lefty Mark Buehrle pitched eight innings for Chicago.

On tap The Mariners and Blue Jays continue their three-game series at 7:10 p.m. Tuesday at Safeco Field. Righthander Chris Young (10-6 with a 3.27 ERA) will oppose Toronto lefty J.A.

Mariners recall Jones By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

SEATTLE — A desire to add speed to the roster prompted the Seattle Mariners to recall outfielder James Jones from Triple-A Tacoma prior to Monday’s series opener against the Toronto Blue Jays at Safeco Field. “James will fit in in the defensive side of things,” manager Lloyd McClendon said. “Late in games, he might steal some bases for us. I doubt if he’ll get a lot of playing time though.” Jones, 25, stole 20 bases in 21 attempts before a slumping bat resulted in an Aug. 1 demotion to Tacoma. He was 9-for-36 in eight games for the Rainiers prior to his recall. “It definitely gave me time

pitches to get through seven and his only mistake was Jose Bautista’s solo home run in the fourth. And he did it before a buzzing crowd of 41,168 as Seattle remained one game back in the chase for the second wild-card spot. “That was unreal. That was pretty good,” Hernandez said. “We’re fighting. We’re going to continue to fight and do the little things.” And for a change, Hernandez wasn’t left wondering if Seattle would score enough. Cano ignited a seven-run

to reset,” he said. “I felt like I was pressing. Now, I’m relaxed again.” The Mariners created a roster opening Sunday night by optioning pitcher Erasmo Ramirez to Tacoma after he worked 41⁄3 scoreless innings in a 4-2 victory over the Chicago White Sox. The decision to recall Jones also stems, in part, from outfielder Michael Saunders being unavailable. Saunders is 6-for-17 through five games at Tacoma while on a rehab assignment for a strained left oblique. But he left the Rainiers after Monday’s game to be present for the birth of his second child. Jones played primarily center field this season for the Mariners and Tacoma but will shift

now, due to the July 31 acquisition of Austin Jackson, to a corner role. “I’m comfortable in the corners,” Jones said. That’s where I played the majority of the time (in my career). Center field became more of a primary (position) late last year and this year.” Because of an open date Thursday in the schedule, the Mariners won’t need a fifth starting pitcher until Aug. 19 at Philadelphia. They are expected to recall rookie lefty Roenis Elias at that time. Jones batted .258 with a .287 on-base percentage for the Mariners in 79 games but was in a 3-for-41 slide when sent to the Rainiers. “They were going out of the zone,” he said, “and I was chasing their pitches.”

sixth inning with his 10th homer of the season for a 3-1 lead. That was just the start. Mike Zunino followed with an RBI triple and an RBI double by Endy Chavez ended the night for Toronto starter Drew Hutchison (8-10). Seattle’s biggest inning since an eight-run outburst May 3 against Houston was just getting started. Brad Miller lined an RBI triple and Dustin Ackley brought home two runs with a single. Cano came up again, and after stepping out of the box while a lightning bolt and thunder crackled outside the stadium, just missed a second homer in the inning by inches with a RBI double off the wall. “Everything I saw was away

... so I was just trying to go the other way, but I wasn’t trying to hit a homer,” Cano said. A day after going 19 innings to beat Detroit at home and not arriving to Seattle until 12:30 a.m. local time, Bautista’s 23rd homer was the only highlight for Toronto. The only other Toronto batter to get a hit was Colby Rasmus, who had two and is now 7-for-10 against Hernandez. King Felix struck out eight, walked none and lowered his ERA to 1.95 for the season. Hernandez is 9-2 with a 1.41 ERA during the 16-game streak. “With Felix out there, you give those guys a lead they put it away,” Toronto manager John Gibbons said.

Royals acquire Willingham from Twins Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Royals bolstered their offense Monday by acquiring outfielder Josh Willingham from the Minnesota Twins, a move the long-suffering franchise hopes will help them end a playoff drought that stretches back nearly three decades. Kansas City had won seven straight games entering its series opener against Oakland, climbing into the second wild-card spot and a halfgame back of AL Central-leading Detroit. The Royals have not been to

the postseason since 1985, when they beat St. Louis to win the World Series. “Obviously the goal was to win with the Twins,” Willingham said from Houston, where the Twins were preparing to play the Astros. “Unfortunately, we weren’t. Now I have a chance to go help another club and hopefully make the playoffs.” The Twins picked up minor league pitcher Jason Adam in the trade, while the Royals agreed to take on the remainder of Willingham’s contract — about $1.8 million of the $7 million that he was making in the final year of his three-year deal.

PITTSBURGH — Justin Verlander pitched only one inning of the Detroit Tigers’ 11-6 defeat to the Pittsburgh Pirates because of soreness in his right shoulder. Despite the short outing, Verlander (10-11) took the loss after giving up five runs — four earned — four hits and two walks. “Just didn’t feel great,” the ace right-hander said. “Disappointing on a night that the team really needed me.” Verlander threw 40 pitches and bunted in the second inning before he was removed. He is scheduled to undergo an MRI in Detroit on Tuesday. “I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little nervous,” Verlander said. “I’ve never been through this before.” Verlander said there wasn’t any sharp pain in his shoulder, but Tigers manager Brad Ausmus took him out as a precautionary measure. “The ball wasn’t really coming out of his hand,” Ausmus said. “So after watching him finish the inning I decided I didn’t want to risk him getting seriously injured.” Ausmus was concerned about Verlander right from the beginning. “I was actually immediately worried from the start of the game,” Ausmus said. “Quite frankly, looking back, I almost wish I would have taken him out when I went out with (trainer) Kevin Rand.” After Verlander gave up an early lead, Travis Snider, who played at Jackson High School, hit two home runs, and Starling Marte drove in three runs as the Pirates coasted to the victory. The loss, coupled with Kansas City’s 3-2 win over Oakland, dropped the Tigers a half-game behind the now first-place Royals in the AL Central Division. Snider knocked in two more in the eighth inning off Phil Coke with his eighth homer, a tworun opposite-field shot after the Pirates scored a run on Russell Martin’s sacrifice fly. Martin hit his sixth home run of the year in the sixth inning, and Ike Davis followed with his eighth.

It’s easy to get into a debate over the best way to measure a club’s fielding proficiency, but ... the Mariners lead the majors at turning balls put into play into outs. That seems to be the basic goal, doesn’t it? The Mariners, through Sunday, had a .720 percentage in “defensive efficiency,” which is a metric that combines pitching and fielding stats while using two estimates of plays made. You can find the complete formulaic breakdown online at www.baseball-reference.com (and probably other sites). The Mariners’ rating represents a sharp increase over last season, when they ranked 23rd among the 30 clubs at .683. The 2013 major-league average was .692. Cincinnati currently ranks second and leads the National League at .717. Oakland ranks third overall and second among American League clubs at .711. The major-league average is .690.

Stewart undecided on racing in next NASCAR event By Jim Peltz Los Angeles Times

Tony Stewart has not yet decided if he will drive in this weekend’s NASCAR race at Michigan International Speedway, a team spokesman said Monday. Stewart pulled out of Sunday’s NASCAR race in Watkins Glen, N.Y., after his car struck and killed a 20-year-old driver, Kevin Ward Jr., while Ward was on foot during a sprintcar race Saturday night in upstate New York. After contact with Stewart’s car caused Ward’s car to crash, Ward climbed from his car and was standing on the track and gesturing toward Stewart when Stewart’s car hit him. Stewart, who co-owns his NASCAR team Stewart-Haas Racing, “will have as much time as he needs to make that decision” about racing Sunday in Michigan, Stewart-Haas spokesman Mike Arning said in an email. “It is still an emotional time for all involved, Tony included,” Arning said.

ASSOCIATED PRESS

According to a team spokesman, Tony Stewart has yet to decide if he will race Sunday at Michigan International Speedway.

“He is grieving, and grief doesn’t have a timetable.” NASCAR stock cars are 3,400-pound, full-bodied cars that bear a slight resemblance to everyday passenger cars. Sprint cars are light but powerful open-wheel cars — some of which have large wings on top-that often are raced on small dirt tracks. Arning confirmed that Stewart, 43, had pulled out of a scheduled sprintcar race at Plymouth Speedway, a dirt track in Plymouth, Ind., scheduled for Saturday night and that Stewart wouldn’t resume

that type of racing “until further notice.” Ontario County Sheriff Philip Povero said no criminal charges were pending against Stewart but that an investigation of Ward’s death was continuing. Povero said Monday there were no current plans to talk to Stewart again and no timetable as to when his office’s probe would be finished. The sheriff renewed a request for spectators to turn over photos and videos of the crash. He said investigators were reconstructing the accident and looking at such factors as the quality of the lighting at the track and the fact that Ward was wearing a dark fire suit. Another driver in the race, Cory Sparks, a friend of Ward’s, told The Associated Press he was a few yards back when Ward was struck. “The timing was unsafe,” Sparks said of Ward’s decision to get out of his car to confront Stewart. “When your adrenaline is going and you’re taken out of a race, your emotions flare.”

Strickland opens with 5-over 76 at U.S. Am Herald staff Mark Strickland of Mukilteo opened with a 5-over-par 76 on Monday, leaving him tied for 228th and meaning he needs to make a significant move in today’s final round of stroke play if he is to advance to the matchplay portion of the United

States Amateur golf tournament at the Atlanta Athletic Club in Johns Creek, Ga. The 22-year-old Strickland, a senior-to-be member of the Western Washington University golf team, started on the 10th tee and made the turn at even par. But he took a bogey on the first

hole, and then had backto-back double-bogeys on the third and fourth holes. He added another birdie and another bogey in his remaining holes. The top 64 players through two rounds of stroke play advance to match play, with the final match scheduled for Sunday.

to when Joe Richer was alive in more than just spirit. The group included John Richer, now 33, who played basketball at Everett High when I coached there with Olson and Roger Haug, another member of this group. Back then, Mark Richer, 64, the brother of Joe Richer and final member of our group, often was seen in the stands cheering on his nephew as John helped lead the Seagulls to the state basketball tournament three times. So I viewed that Saturday’s foursome as somewhat of a fraternity, where I felt fortunate to have been invited along as merely a wide-eyed pledge. At that moment, I couldn’t help but feel the tug of nostalgia playing with this group that had won the Joe Richer Golf Tournament, which features 36 foursomes, three times in the previous 16 years. There would not be a fourth win this year. As happens in scramble golf, putting is the

key to victory. This foursome relies primarily on the steady nerves of John Richer, a scratch golfer who has finished as high as third in the Snohomish County Amateur and a four-year golf letterman at Western Washington University, and Olson, the coach who took over the golf program at Everett High following Joe Richer’s death. It’s obvious that John Richer and Olson have a special relationship. It may be partly because Olson was the head coach for both the boys’ basketball and golf programs during Richer’s senior year, that critical year following his father’s death. That year John Richer was the captain of both teams. He finished third in the state golf tournament and led the basketball team to the state tournament. Out on the links of Legion Memorial, the two were constantly talking scramble strategy while enjoying cigars and beverages together as they toured around in the same golf cart. Combine that with the mentoring that is obviously taking place for the young Richer as he begins his third season at the helm of the resurgent Everett High

boys’ basketball program, and one can’t help but notice something special developing. And, except for a tough stretch from No. 13 on, they’re both solid closers. In fact, on No. 18, after a handful of disappointing, uncharacteristic nearmissed putts, Olson loudly exclaimed, “Are you kidding me?” It was just one of those days. As for my game in this scramble format? I was simply along for the shear enjoyment of playing quality golf with some top-notch players. Since I was an interloper in this elite group where just four balls are considered for a scramble score, my shots were strictly for exhibition. But I noticed by the sixth hole that I was stepping up my game. That happens when one soars with eagles. Unfortunately, we didn’t shoot any eagles in this tournament, so we were non-factors in the final standings. But that is somewhat immaterial. Personally, I felt a surge of accomplishment knowing that I hadn’t slowed down play. And I believe I even witnessed coach Olson giving me a nod of acknowledgment.

Bellevue police looking at Lynch in assault investigation Associated Press BELLEVUE— Police in Bellevue are investigating whether Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch was involved in an assault and damage of personal property. The Bellevue Police Department released a statement Monday morning saying that the alleged incident took place around 2:30 a.m. Sunday and that Lynch is alleged to have been involved. Bellevue police stated that they have not been able to verify whether Lynch was involved, but are investigating. The incident was reported by the female victim about 12 hours after it took place at a downtown Bellevue apartment. Police say there was no domestic violence or sexual assault involved in the allegation. Bellevue police spokesman Seth Tyler told The Seattle Times there was no further information, adding “this is only an allegation. We haven’t even verified that he was involved.” Tyler said authorities will discuss the matter with Lynch as soon as they can. The Seahawks did not immediately return a message seeking comment. Lynch held out the first week of Seattle’s training camp before returning after the team agreed to turn $1.5 million in incentives and future pay into base salary for the 2014 season. That raised his base salary for this year from $5 million to $6.5 million.

Change is nothing new for Seahawks’ Schilling By Greg Bell The News Tribune

RENTON — For most of the last decade, Stephen Schilling has been in the center of upheaval. The first — leaving his family’s home in the Seattle suburb of Bellevue to play for Michigan as a teen — was his own doing. The rest — a coaching change two years into college and another regime change two years into his NFL career — were definitely not his choice. Sunday, he was still in the center — of the offensive line for his hometown Super Bowl champions. He was the Seahawks’ first-team center. That’s a change Schilling can live with. Schilling was a guard last week in Seattle’s exhibition opener at Denver, and since the team signed him as a free agent in March. But Sunday he was snapping to quarterback Russell Wilson, with starting center Max Unger still limited by a groin injury. Offensive line coach Tom Cable says center is where Schilling will be Friday night when the Seahawks host San Diego. Whether that’s as a fill-in starter or second-teamer depends on how Unger progresses; head coach Pete Carroll said Unger may return to practice on Tuesday. Schilling, 26, played guard and tackle while starting two games and playing in 16 others over three seasons with the Chargers. Then last September,

after San Diego had released and re-signed him, Schilling became a center for the first time, but only on the Chargers’ scout team. “It’s a lot more responsibility, obviously. You’ve got the ball in your hand every play, making calls, seeing both sides of the line, getting with the quarterback on calls,” he said. “I enjoy it, though. I really do enjoy it. You’ve got more of a grip on the game.” And, perhaps, a grip on a Seahawks roster spot. The team figures to keep four or five reserve linemen on the regularseason roster. So playing more than one position is the way reserves such as Schilling can make the team. Playing three triples his chances. “If you’re not a starter you have to be playing multiple positions as a backup in this game. You can’t be playing one position,” Schilling said. “Just trying to show what I can do at different spots.” This spot, on the eastern shore of Lake Washington, is completely familiar to him. He is 15 minutes south of where his parents, Joanne and Ralph, still live in the home in which he grew up. This is the first time since he left Bellevue High in 2006 that he’s been back home for more than one week. Two months ago, during Seahawks minicamps, he was there for the birth of his sister Brandi Cypher’s second child. After the training camp portion of the preseason ends Wednesday, Schilling will be

moving out of the Seahawks’ team hotel and back into the basement of a large home in Kirkland owned by his brother Michael Tudor. The family time is filling a big void in Schilling’s personal life. His wife Katie, a Michigan soccer player who went onto law school at U of M, is in her second year working at a firm in Chicago. They got married this spring. But she took the bar exam in Illinois, so she is tied to there for now. “It’s really tough,” he said. But he has his family — and now a new position — to occupy him here. Cable has known Schilling since the coach was an assistant at UCLA in 2005. The Bruins, the hometown Washington Huskies — heck, just about every other college with a goal post — recruited him. He chose Michigan to strike off on his own. After his sophomore season Michigan forced out coach Lloyd Carr and brought in Rich Rodriguez from West Virginia. Rodriguez changed everything, including how and where the Wolverines practiced and how they ate. “It was a tough transition,” Schilling said. “I mean, everything changed.” Despite not becoming the absolute dominant beast of a lineman many thought he’d be at Michigan, Schilling made it to the NFL in 2011 as San Diego’s sixth-round draft choice. He started two games as a rookie for coach Norv Turner. Those remain the only two

NFL games he’s started. The Chargers fired Turner following the 2012 season and replaced him and his staff with that of firsttime head coach Mike McCoy. The Chargers didn’t tender Schilling a contract when he became a restricted free agent this winter. Seattle was the first to call him in March, and a couple weeks later signed him to a $645,000 one-year contract. His move to center is sending Lemuel Jeanpierre to guard this week. Jeanpierre started for Unger in Denver and played the first half, when Wilson and backup quarterback Tarvaris Jackson were besieged by Broncos. Asked about this Schilling-tocenter move, Cable said: “I think it can be very viable, but want to make sure. ... We are going to see who fits there at backup center and our ‘swing’ player inside. “He came into the NFL and he’s kind of just been hanging on. I think this is a good situation for him. We are just trying to get him to re-energize and to regain his confidence, to get him to believe in the kind of player that he is.” Asked why it didn’t work out for him in San Diego, Schilling didn’t use the excuse that he lacked opportunities. He says he simply failed to beat out starters such as Jeromey Clary. But Seattle? It’s home. It’s comfortable. And now, suddenly, it’s at center. “It is,” he said, smiling, “a cool opportunity.”

Wiggins on trade: ‘Whatever happens is out of my control’ By Ian Harrison Associated Press

TORONTO — When training camp begins in October, he’ll be trying to block and deflect shots in the NBA. On Monday, No.1 overall draft pick Andrew Wiggins was deflecting questions about precisely where he’ll be playing. Last week, Cleveland reportedly reached an agreement in principle to send Wiggins, Anthony Bennett and a firstround pick to Minnesota for

All-Star forward Kevin Love, who will join LeBron James and Kyrie Irving to form a new “Big 3” with the Cavaliers. That deal, which cannot be officially completed until Aug. 23, when Wiggins becomes eligible to be traded, would leave the rookie swingman playing for a rebuilding squad in the Western Conference, rather than alongside LeBron on a presumed title contender in Cleveland. Speaking publicly for the first time since the reported deal was

agreed to, Wiggins refused to be drawn in to any trade talk. “Whatever happens is out of my control,” he said. “I’m not worrying about it right now.” Surrounded by more than a dozen reporters and nine television cameras at a promotional event at his former grade school in suburban Toronto, Wiggins acknowledged that life as a first overall pick has brought him extra attention. “There’s more eyes on me, more criticizing, stuff like that,” he said.

So far, at least, the glare of the spotlight hasn’t been too hard to handle. “Going to Kansas University kind of prepares you for moments like this,” he said, “because at Kansas they treat the basketball players like rock stars.” After Wiggins attended Jayhawks coach Bill Self’s basketball camp Sunday, Self said Wiggins told him he’d welcome the trade to Minnesota, where he could be the face of the franchise, rather than playing in the shadow of

LeBron. “Even though in a weird way everybody would love the opportunity to play with LeBron because you’re guaranteed winning, for the longevity of his career, he needs to develop that mindset to be the guy, for him to be great, and I think being Minnesota will help him do that,” Self said Sunday. Wiggins wouldn’t bite when asked Monday for a response to Self’s comments. “Anywhere, any team,” he said. “I can play anywhere.”
