County Search and Rescue helicopter pilot on Tuesday to find it. “It appeared the car was backed in,” said Shari Ireton, a Ethel O’Neil sheriff ’s office spokeswoman. Her family on Wednesday expressed relief that she had

been found. O’Neil was 89 and was in the early stages of dementia. Her ordeal represents the worst fears for many families with an aging parent with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease, which affects more than 5 million Americans. Research shows that 60 percent will See TRACKING, Page A5

EVERETT — Worried about next year’s budget, some Snohomish County leaders want to start pinching pennies — now. County Council members talked Tuesday about imposing a hiring freeze that would apply to most of the county’s open positions, with the exception of sheriff ’s deputies. They also want to look over County Executive John Lovick’s shoulder to review some of his administration’s personnel decisions. Adding to budget worries this year are the enormous costs of responding to the March 22 Oso mudslide. “Our objective is to be proactive on the budget and rein in expenditures,” Councilman Terry Ryan said. “By starting early, it will lessen the impact on the 2015 budget. I don’t know why anybody would not be in favor of this.” The county’s 2,700 employees take up the largest share of the budget, making personnel decisions a tempting place to cut. A hiring freeze could be one step in that direction. Ryan called the proposal a “soft” freeze, because it would exempt patrol deputies and some other public safety employees. Otherwise, managers would need council approval to fill vacant jobs. “We don’t want to hire positions that may not be in the 2015 budget,” Ryan said. A second proposal would put a temporary halt to job reclassifications in the executive’s office. That’s a response to 10 percent raises some of Lovick’s top managers have received during the past year, even as signs started to appear of possible budget trouble. A third proposal would look to eliminate redundant jobs among appointed, non-union employees who work in departments under Lovick’s authority. A fourth idea would look at the best way to replace

it. The bile ducts didn’t work right. Her stomach was bloated and stretched. Her veins bulged. That November, Sarah was in the hospital for 10 days. She underwent a Kasai procedure, which involved the rerouting of her small intestine. About half of those with biliary atresia need a liver transplant by the age of 5, Patty Kraft said. In March 2009, Sarah vomited blood. Patty Kraft and the baby were flown to Seattle Children’s Hospital. Patty Kraft remembers Sarah going limp in her arms and her baby’s eyes rolling back.

Budget From Page A1

employees who are expected to retire in the next few years. It would look at how to hire the appropriate employees at an appropriate pay scale. That’s already happening in the county’s planning department. County leaders last year approved a 2014 operating budget of $228.5 million, about $15 million higher than the year before. To pay for the increase, county leaders raised property taxes, adding roughly $25 to the annual tax bill for the owner of a home assessed

“I’m a believer,” Patty Kraft said. “I was like, ‘OK, Lord, you are the king of kings. I’m just going to put this in your hands.’ ” Sarah was kept in intensive care, and her name was added to the waiting list for transplant patients. The doctors told Sarah’s parents that her body had punched out new routes for blood to travel through because her liver and spleen wouldn’t cooperate. The liver transplant that April took nine hours. Within days of the surgery, baby Sarah could sit up and roll over. The first year after the transplant held a lot of challenges, Patty Kraft said. Sarah also spent much of this past spring in the hospital after another health scare. Kirk Kraft works at

Boeing. Patty Kraft works in the kitchen and lunchroom at Grace Academy in Marysville, which Sarah attends. It’s been a struggle to keep things normal for the family, with their schedule disrupted by hospital stays and doctor visits, Patty Kraft said. They focus on family time and attend The Grove Church in Marysville. They make pancakes from scratch every Saturday. Patty Kraft is looking forward to when Sarah’s more recent surgery wound heals and the kids can take swimming classes together. On a warm, sunny afternoon last week, Sarah and her sister, Katarina, 8, lounged in a patio chair in their north Marysville back yard. They playfully swatted each other with pool

noodles and twirled umbrellas on the porch. When Sarah took a tumble and started to cry, Arianna, 12, crossed her eyes at her little sister to make her laugh again. They threw apples from the backyard tree for their 71-pound German Shepherd mix, Blitz, to catch. As Sarah grows up, she won’t be able to play contact sports, and traveling abroad could be difficult, her parents said. Children with transplants are more vulnerable to lymphoma. Otherwise, Sarah doesn’t live with many medical restrictions. The four kids all have a dramatic, expressive side, Kirk Kraft said. He likes to joke that he’ll soon have a full-fledged theater troupe at home. Caleb, 10, is the comicphilosopher-scientist. Arianna is the sensitive

artist. Katarina is athletic and kind. When Sarah is sick, her siblings stay with their grandparents or friends. Their grandparents take them bowling and treat them to “breakfast for dinner.” Sarah’s parents aren’t sure how much she understands about her disease. She will learn more as she ages. For now, she remains the daredevil child, the silliest sibling, Kirk Kraft said. She is going through a meowing phase. While her parents talked, Sarah hummed “Let It Go” from the animated movie “Frozen,” which she’s seen more than 50 times. “She knows she’s the baby,” Patty Kraft said.

at the countywide average of $275,000. The increase went, in part, to support the construction of a future $162 million courthouse. Since then, Snohomish County experienced the deadliest and costliest natural disaster in its history, a mudslide that killed 43 people and destroyed a portion of Highway 530. The county’s bill for handling the catastrophe now exceeds $25 million. The federal and state governments could reimburse about 88 percent — about $22 million — of slide costs, but there’s no guarantee they’ll sign off on everything. County finances had, until recently, appeared to be on the rebound

after a years of stagnation. Steps to manage county finances since 2009 have included cutting service hours, layoffs and hiring freezes, and placing employees on unpaid furloughs. The county’s public budget process doesn’t start until late September. That’s when the executive traditionally releases a spending proposal for the coming year, which the council vets. During the nearly 10-year tenure of Lovick’s predecessor, Aaron Reardon, disagreements with the council over county finances often turned into a public spectacle. At one low point, the council in 2006 stripped Reardon of authority to sign contracts

above $5,000. Tuesday’s budget discussion, during a council committee meeting, was a departure from the warm relationships Lovick has enjoyed with others in county government since he was appointed to replace Reardon last year. Deputy Executive Mark Ericks said he’d like to hear exactly what the council wants to accomplish. Then, he said, the executive’s office can figure out how to reach their goal. “They tell us what they want to achieve, then we go about achieving it,” Ericks said. Councilman Brian Sullivan agreed with Ericks’ approach. He faulted the council as a whole for

poor communication over the budget. “The executive’s office wasn’t properly informed” of the proposed actions, he said. “That’s a problem.” Sullivan said he had already discussed some of the suggestions with Lovick before other colleagues brought them up. Councilwoman Stephanie Wright, like Ryan, doesn’t want to take a wait-and-see attitude. “We have four more months of 2014 and I’d hate to lose that opportunity,” Wright said. “I think we’re all very concerned about the budget.” Noah Haglund: 425339-3465; nhaglund@ heraldnet.com.

Come out, watch the Stars in Edmonds The Pacific All-Stars’ first game will be against Chicago on Thursday. By Sharon Salyer Herald Writer

EDMONDS — It’s the first time the Pacific All-Stars have advanced to the Little League World Series. In downtown Edmonds, it might as well be declared an official holiday. There are T-shirts and bracelets for sale. And three local restaurants are planning viewing parties for the game, scheduled to begin at noon today. Hamburger Harry’s plans to

set up a television outdoors so that people just walking by can have a look at the game and join in the excitement. “Edmonds is all the way behind this,” said Quinn Mitchell, co-owner of the business. Decorative lights and banners that say “help the Little League” are being put up, he said. “Come join in the celebration,” Mitchell said. “It will really be fun.” The Pacific All-Stars represent a league based in Lynnwood, but most of the players are from Edmonds, and downtown merchants are all-in. Kelli Glover, a bartender at Rory’s of Edmonds, is the aunt of 12-year-old team member Tygan Duncan. “It’s been an emotional

roller coaster,” she said of Pacific’s progress through the playoff schedule. “It’s highs and lows. You never know.” The restaurant had a viewing party on Saturday, when Pacific, playing in San Bernardino, California, defeated Oregon 6-3 — the victory needed to send the team to the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. Pacific is the second Snohomish County team to reach the Little League World Series, with the Mill Creek All-Stars going in 2008. Pacific team members are 12and 13-year-olds from Edmonds, Lynnwood and unincorporated Snohomish County. Going to the Little League World Series has been their goal since they starting

playing on the 10-year-old All-Star team, Glover said. “Everyone is super excited.” Vicki Nelson, of Lynnwood, is in charge of fundraising for the team. She’s arranged to have royal blue T-shirts produced with the team’s seasonal motto: “I believe.” The shirts, as well as bracelets, are being sold to help family members with expenses during the team’s playoffs. Nelson’s son is on the 11-yearold All Star team. “We have played with all these boys in our regular Little League,” she said. “We’re just thrilled.” The experience of going to the Little League World series is like See ALL-STARS, Page A4

Give them a boost A fundraising site, www. gofundme.com/pllallstars, has been established to help pay for uncompensated costs of participating in the series of Little League playoff games by the Pacific All-Stars Little League team and their family members. And several businesses in downtown Edmonds, including Hamburger Harry’s, Rory’s, Revelations Yogurt and A Very Taki Tiki Bar, are selling T-shirts for $20 and bracelets for $5 to raise money.

Arlington Sept. 11 memorial is on track The three-year effort by the entire community is on its final fundraising push. By Kari Bray Herald Writer

ARLINGTON — The city’s 9/11 memorial is almost complete, three years after Arlington firefighters drove across the country to bring home a 13-foot, 4,373-pound piece of World Trade Center steel. It’s been a community effort, led by the Arlington Fire Department and supported by local businesses, craftsmen and other volunteers. The memorial’s dedication is set for 6 p.m. Sept. 11 at Firehouse 46, 115 N. Macleod Ave. “It’s just kind of remarkable,” project coordinator Terry Marsh said. “It’s one of those things you only see a couple of times in your life, when people really come together. It’s just really amazing.” Volunteers are in the middle of their final fundraising effort. Though most of the labor and materials for the memorial were donated, they hope to raise $41,500 to cover other services and supplies. To raise the funds, “Arlington Remembers” challenge coins are for sale at $100 apiece. Each coin is etched with the name of a first responder who died in the attacks on the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001. Of 415 coins, about 300 are left to purchase, fundraising coordinator Linda Byrnes said. The coins and memorial honor 343 firefighters and 72 police officers. “We want them to always remember the person whose name they’re carrying. We want them to remember that there are See MEMORIAL, Page A4

Sledgehammer in hand, Elizabeth Lund, Vice President and General Manager of the 777, ceremoniously begins the demolition Wednesday morning of an existing Boeing office building where the new 777X Composite Wing Center will be built in Everett.

Ground broken for 777X plant Boeing starts demolition of Everett buildings for wing fabrication By Dan Catchpole Herald Writer

EVERETT — Politicians and Boeing executives took sledgehammers to a single-story brick office building Wednesday to make way at the company’s Everett plant for the 777X wing fabrication center. The new airplane program is expected to bring new technology and jobs to the area. Boeing committed to Washington only after extracting big concessions from the state and members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers. With that acrimonious episode in the past, Wednesday’s event was a choreographed celebration. Boeing staff handed out cookies and Peter Gabriel’s “Sledgehammer” played in the background. The VIPs included U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell, Gov. Jay Inslee, Snohomish County Executive John Lovick and Everett Mayor Ray Stephanson. Before the VIPs took hammers

to the wall, Boeing Commercial Airplanes CEO Ray Conner cautioned, “Be careful, you don’t know what’s going to come out when we knock down that wall. It could be a lot of rats.” The building — 40-84 — is one of three slated for demolition to make room for the 1.3-million-square-foot 777X wing fabrication center, which Boeing calls the Composite Wing Center. Boeing has leased offices in Bothell and Bellevue for workers displaced by the demolition. Construction workers have already started levelling part of the site. The process is expected to take four months. During that time, a fleet of 90 dump trucks will be hauling material to and from the site around the clock, with an average of 70 trips each hour, according to Boeing. Construction of the wing building, which will be called building 40-58, is expected to be done by May 2016. The 777X production line is scheduled to begin in 2017. The wing building will house

being placed in foster care. The day’s events include a motorcycle rally at 7:30 a.m. and a car show at 10 a.m. Registration for the motorcycle rally is $12 in advance or $15 on-site. The rally starts at Everett Power Sports, 215 SW Everett Mall Way, with the last bike out at 9:45 a.m.

three autoclaves to cure the new jetliner’s massive compositematerial wings, each of which will be more than 110 feet long. The first autoclave is sitting in sections near the control tower at nearby Paine Field, waiting to be assembled and welded together in the factory, according to the airport. The 777X line will use new technologies and advanced manufacturing methods, creating a “new type of workforce,” said Jason Clark, Boeing’s vice-president of operations for the 777 and 777X programs. That includes production automation, especially for putting together the fuselage. The company calls the new approach “fuselage automated upright build” or FAUB, as the sections will be assembled standing on end. It’s a unique way to assemble jetliner bodies that reduces the number of people needed. The work will be done at the Everett plant in another new building — 40-27 — which is already under construction.

The car show, as well as the rally’s finish line, will be at Cascade High School, 801 East Casino Road. There will be food for sale, a silent auction and a raffle. For more information, visit rallyforkidssafeplace.org or call Chester Craig at 425-238-4175 or Candy Craig at 425-238-3751.

KUKA Aerospace, a U.S. division of the Germany-based KUKA Systems Group, has been developing some of the robotic systems Boeing will use on its 777X line. Kuka Aerospace announced this week that it plans to open an office in Everett to support West Coast customers. The customer support operation will be near Boeing’s Everett plant on Seaway Boulevard. Boeing will look for other opportunities to automate work, Clark said. The Chicago-based company has turned to automakers and other highly-automated industries to learn from their experiences, he said. Boeing automates work to improve any of three things: worker safety, productivity and quality, Clark said. Repetitive work is often a better fit for automation than a job requiring craftsmanship, he said. “I honestly don’t think we’ll ever have a lights-out factory”

with no shopfloor workers, Clark said. The head of the Machinists union District 751 Jon Holden said the 777X offers new opportunities for the union’s members. “We all want this pro.... ” he gram to be successful, said. “Hopefully, we can start talking about training for composites,” he said. Right now, though, morale is still struggling, Holden said. Last January, Machinists narrowly approved a concession-laden contract that Boeing said would guarantee the 777X and its wings are made in Washington. The vote split the state’s

All-Stars

IAM members into camps, and pitted local leadership, which opposed the offer, against the union’s international headquarters in Upper Marlboro, Maryland. The International forced the vote in January, which many local Machinists leaders opposed. Holden was not in office at the time, but did not support the contract. He also was not asked by IAM headquarters to speak at Wednesday’s event. Instead, Ron Cohen, a Machinist for Boeing in Auburn, appeared on stage with the other VIPs. Cohen is also president of Local C, one of seven locals that make up District Lodge 751. Conner said the “tough decisions” made by people to bring the 777X here ensures Boeing’s presence “for a long, long time.”

where parents and coaches were scrambling for ground transportation for the team, renting an indoor practise facility and arranging to ship the team’s gear to California. Team members have gotten used to some of the media attention that comes with winning. “They’ve done a lot of interviews,” Zepeda said. “They’ve gotten pretty good at it.” While the Little League World Series picks up the tab for team members’ hotel and their airfares, parents and other family members are on their own. That’s why Laura

Duncan, of Edmonds, had to leave three of her boys — Brock, 15, Cole, 11, and Chase, 8 — at home when she flew out early Wednesday to see her son, Tygan Duncan, play in the World Series. Laura Duncan, who works as a waitress at Jimmy Mac’s Road House in Everett, was able to organize a road trip for all her boys to San Bernardino so they could watch their brother during 10 days of playoffs. And neighbors saw the boys on TV while the game was being broadcast. “They all got a little bit of

Local craftsmen created the alcove’s floor and walls, a lighted ceiling and a multilayered steel backdrop. Plaques are set to be engraved with the same names that are etched into the challenge coins. Another set of plaques chronicles the history of the steel, from its last moments as part of the World Trade Center to its trip across the country in 2011. “For a lot of people 10 to 15 years from now, it will

be a piece of history but not a memory,” Cooper said. “This is so incredible that a piece of history is now in Arlington and open to the public.” The department plans to keep the memorial lit at all times. The steel beam is one of a handful of World Trade Center artifacts in the state, Cooper said. “We want this steel to be accessible to the public so they can see it and touch it and reflect on the event and the lives lost that day,” he said. Byrnes said it can be hard to grasp the scope of the World Trade Center attacks. Having a memorial that people can see and touch, along with coins that carry the names of first responders, preserves the memory. “People are forgetting, and you have to do something to make sure that doesn’t happen in your piece of the world,” she said. For businesses and workers who contributed to the memorial, the effort was personal, Marsh said. He and Cooper recalled craftsmen who heard about the project and said, “I’ll help, but you can’t pay me for this.” Businesses that contributed include: Coast

Watching the team march its way through the playoffs and finally clinching Saturday’s game that sent them to the Little League World Series “is still ....surreal,” she completely said. “It’s hard to grasp and understand that it’s actually happening.

Cooper said it’s important for people to be able to touch the steel and ponder its history. He knows a New York firefighter who lost a good friend in the attacks. As soon as he was able to order a challenge coin, Cooper bought the one with the firefighter’s name and gave it to his friend. “One of the things I always think is ‘where was this steel in the rubble pile?’” Cooper said. “We don’t know ... What we do know is a lot of good people died around it — police, firefighters, workers, airline passengers. Americans.”

Swinomish Tribe brought a third attorney who is seated out of this photo.

Richard and Marnie Fox of Sedro Woolley recently applied for a building permit to build a retirement home on the property they have owned for 14 years. They have been denied a building permit and are challenging that decision. The Washington State Department of Ecology and the Swinomish Tribe have a common goal. They want to severely limit or completely stop development in rural Skagit County and control land use of private property. When we say “development” we are talking about single family homes not shopping malls. To facilitate this goal they claim they have “the best available science” that indicates private wells harm fish runs in our rivers and streams. When pressed for real data “the best available science” falls woefully short of establishing cause to deny tax paying citizens access to domestic water on their own property. If you own land in Skagit County that is not served by PUD water, you are already impacted by this in a very harmful way. You will be denied a building permit because you do not have legal access to water. The bottom line is the DOE and the Swinomish Tribe do not care if this course of action harms you. Do you care? If you do, you need to get involved or you will be forced to live with the consequences. If you want to help, now is the time.

That’s a significant increase from the past, he said. Previous years’ numbers were not immediately available. State Sen. Barbara Bailey has sponsored legislation in the past to include a Silver Alert system in Washington state. These days, she is open to using the existing system if it can be made more effective in cases of Alzheimer’s. Just as an Amber Alert seems to convey the urgency of finding an abducted child, Bailey believes Silver Alert would quickly register in peoples’ minds the image of a confused wandering adult with Alzheimer’s. “You want the general public to not have to stop and think: What does that mean?” she said. Bailey’s own mother suffered from the disease. There would be times her mother would wake up in the middle of the night and think she needed to get somewhere. “When you have Alzheimer’s people who are wandering, hours and minutes matter,” Bailey said. “They are far more frail. They are far more suspectable to the environment.” Calkins said better training should lead to more agencies using the existing state-wide alert system. O’Neil vanished July 16. She’d decided go shopping at the Everett Mall, just a three-mile drive from her home. She was last seen in the 6700 block of 88th Place in Marysville, asking for a map and directions back to Everett. Everett police led the effort to find her and worked closely with several agencies, including Snohomish County Search and Rescue staff and volunteers and the Washington State Patrol’s aviation unit. O’Neil’s family was thankful Wednesday that she had been found. “The bottom line is we have some closure,” said her son, Patrick O’Neil, of Olympia. “She had a good life,” he added. “She was a great lady and she had a heart of gold.” Eric Stevick: 425-3393446; stevick@heraldnet. com.

wander and get lost at one point or another, said Becca Verda, a spokeswoman for the Alzheimer’s Association of Western and Central Washington chapter. Time is critical when they do roam. If not found within 24 hours, up to half will suffer injury or death, according to the Alzheimer’s Association. While the Snohomish County Medical Examiner has yet to determine the cause of death, O’Neil’s disappearance provided a reminder of the importance of tracking bracelets for vulnerable people. It also kindled discussion about whether the state has an effective public notification system when someone with dementia or Alzheimer’s goes missing. Local search and rescue volunteers have long advocated that people living with Alzheimer’s or other conditions, such as autism or traumatic brain injuries, sign up for Project Care Track, which provides traceable bracelets to people who are prone to wander. The bracelets are outfitted with transmitters that send out unique signals that can be tracked by search and rescue teams. A receiver tuned in to the person’s bracelet beeps louder as it gets closer to its location. The signal can lead searchers to a lost person within minutes, not hours. The program costs $15 a month. Donations are available to those in need. When Rodman Reynolds learned about O’Neil’s disappearance in mid-July, the Everett man couldn’t help but think about his own mother in Texas and the importance of an effective statewide public notification system. His mom has Alzheimer’sadvanced dementia and in 2012 vanished two times in six months. In one instance, she was found slumped over in her car that was out of gas and had a dead battery, about 160 miles from her home. Reynolds said he is glad to know she lives in a state with a Silver Alert public notification system. Similar to Amber Alerts for abducted children, the Silver Alert gets the word out quickly to media when people with dementia, Alzheimer’s, developmental disabilities or other medical disabilities goes missing. Washington has the “Endangered Missing Person Advisory Plan” for people believed to be in danger because of age, health or mental or physical disability. To date, it has been an underused system, Washington State Patrol spokesman Bob Calkins said. “We have some educating to do, including with law enforcement and the public,” he said. “We are not at all shy about admitting we have more work to do.” So far this year, it has

Israel, Hamas to extend truce Associated Press CAIRO — Israel and Hamas agreed to extend a temporary cease-fire for five days, Egyptian and Palestinian officials announced Wednesday, permitting the sides to continue to negotiate a substantive deal to end the war in Gaza. Yet even as the extension was announced just minutes before a previous truce was set to expire at midnight, violence spiked, with Palestinian militants firing five rockets at Israel and Israel targeting sites across the Gaza Strip in response. It was not clear if the fighting was isolated or might shatter the truce. Egypt’s foreign ministry and the head of the Palestinian negotiating team announced

the extension, which began at midnight local time. The cease-fire extension is meant to grant both sides additional time to negotiate a longer-term truce and a roadmap for the coastal territory. “We have agreed on a ceasefire for five days,” said Azzam al-Ahmad, the head of the Palestinian delegation to the Cairo talks. He noted that there had been “significant progress” but that disagreements remained over the wording regarding security arrangements, reconstruction efforts for the Gaza Strip and the permissible fishing area. The lull in violence had been a welcome reprieve for Israelis and Palestinians living in Gaza. During the temporary

cease-fire, Israel halted military operations in the warbattered coastal territory and Gaza militants stopped firing rockets, aside from the ones late Wednesday. The two sides were considering an Egyptian proposal that partially addresses their demands, but deep differences have kept the deal in doubt. Hamas is seeking an end to a crippling blockade imposed by Israel and Egypt in 2007. The blockade has greatly limited the movement of Palestinians in and out of the territory of 1.8 million people. It has also restricted the flow of goods into Gaza and blocked virtually all exports. Israel says the closure is necessary to prevent arms smuggling, and officials are

reluctant to make any concessions that would allow Hamas to declare victory. Israel wants Hamas to disarm, or at least be prevented from re-arming. Hamas has recovered from previous rounds of violence with Israel, including a major three-week ground operation in January 2009 and another weeklong air offensive in 2012. It now controls an arsenal of thousands of rockets, some with long ranges and powerful. Gaza militants fired more than 3,000 rockets toward Israel during the war. A current proposal leaves the key areas of disagreement, including Hamas’ demand for a full lifting of the blockade and Israeli calls for Hamas to disarm, to later negotiations.

Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, who in April announced a three-month review of the regulations, said each branch “reviewed its definition of authorized and prohibited styles, and eliminated offensive language, including the terms ‘matted and unkempt,’ from both the Army and Air Force grooming regulations.”

FERGUSON, Mo. — Protests in the St. Louis suburb rocked by racial unrest since a white police officer shot an unarmed black teenager to death turned violent Wednesday night, with some people lobbing Molotov cocktails and other objects at police who responded with smoke bombs and tear gas to disperse the crowd. Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson, who has been the public face of the city torn by Saturday’s death of Michael Brown, 18, said Wednesday that the St. Louis County investigation of the shooting could take weeks to complete. In the meantime, he said, his department welcomes training on racial relations in the suburb, where two-thirds of the 21,000 residents are black while all but three of the police force’s 53 officers are white.

Mississippi: Abortion law The state is asking a federal appeals court to uphold a state law requiring abortion clinic doctors to obtain privileges to admit patients to local hospitals. In July, a three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the 2012 law is unconstitutional because it would close Mississippi’s only abortion clinic. Supporters say the law would protect patients, but opponents say it’s designed to restrict access to abortion.

A man who claimed he had immunity from U.S. law has been convicted in Alexandria of producing and distributing false diplomatic credentials. Prosecutors said James McBride, 60, was the leader of a group called Divine Province and promised people they could avoid taxes and debts if they paid to enroll in his society. Authorities said McBride produced and distributed false diplomatic identification cards to the group’s members, and encouraged them to make claims of diplomatic immunity to avoid arrest, debts or taxes.

capacity to cooperate on the ground. European and other allies are being enlisted to provide weapons and other support, and neighboring Sunni states must be persuaded to use their influence with Iraqi Sunnis who have been reluctant to join the fight against Islamic State militants. Once a new government is in place, “we will be providing training and equipping, security assistance and advice to Iraqi and Kurdish forces, and then we can begin to squeeze

the space where ISIL is operating and start to push them back,” Deputy National Security Adviser Benjamin Rhodes said, referring to the group also known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. The one “limiting factor” he said, “is we don’t want to be reintroducing U.S. forces into a combat role on the ground.” Rhodes spoke in Massachusetts at Martha’s Vineyard, where President Barack Obama is vacationing. An expansion of U.S. military

assistance to counter the Islamic State would almost certainly include the deployment of additional military advisers to Iraq, increased weapons transfers and possibly expanded airstrikes, although Pentagon officials said Wednesday that they have yet to reach a consensus on what such a mix would look like. The departure of current Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki will not by itself trigger an influx of military aid or more U.S. trainers, said senior Defense Department officials. Instead, the administration is expected to wait until a new government demonstrates clear signs of support from Iraq’s many political and religious factions. In the meantime, Obama last week authorized the U.S. military to carry out airstrikes on a highly restricted basis — only to prevent the massacre of Iraqi minorities or to neutralize threats to U.S. personnel or property. Defense officials said they do not have clearance, for instance, to target individual Islamic State leaders.

Virginia: Immunity scam

The Washington Post WASHINGTON — A team of about 20 U.S. troops and aid workers who landed Wednesday on Iraq’s Mount Sinjar determined that a rescue operation of besieged minorities stranded there is probably unnecessary, the Pentagon said. “There are far fewer” refugees left at the northern Iraq location, where tens of thousands were said to have been surrounded by Sunni Muslim extremists, and they “are in better condition than previously believed,” a Pentagon statement said. It said that humanitarian airdrops and the nightly evacuation of Yazidis on land routes appeared to have lessened the emergency. U.S. officials credited U.S. airstrikes on militant positions surrounding the mountains with allowing thousands to exit. “President said we’re going to break the siege of this mountain, and we broke that siege,” assistant secretary of state Brett McGurk said. The Obama administration had been weighing the use of U.S. ground forces and aircraft to mount an emergency rescue of the members of the Yazidi minority sect, even as it seeks to develop a longerterm strategy to push back advances made by Sunni Muslim extremists. That strategy depends on the formation of a new Iraqi government that is responsive to the concerns of all ethnic and religious groups, an effort that continued its rocky progress Wednesday. But the strategy also hinges on other variables, including the capabilities of both Iraqi and Kurdish troops, and their

ACROSS THE U.S.

“Additionally, each Service reviewed its hairstyle policies to ensure standards are fair and respectful while also meeting our military requirements,” he said in a letter, addressed to Rep. Marcia Fudge, D-Ohio, chair of the Congressional Black Caucus. “These reviews were informed by a panel of military personnel of mixed demographics reflective of our diverse force.” The restrictions had been denounced by some in the military, who saw the ban on certain styles of braids and twists as racially insensitive. About 10,000 people signed a White House petition asking that the Army reconsider its policies to make them more racially inclusive.

In April, women on the Congressional Black Caucus sent Hagel a letter suggesting that the policies and language indicated “a lack of cultural sensitivity conducive to creating a tolerant environment for minorities.” The Navy, Army and Air Force have expanded the number of acceptable styles, permitting cornrows, twists and larger braids and removing spacing requirements. Fudge welcomed the rollback, which give female service members — particularly African Americans — greater flexibility. “These changes recognize that traditional hairstyles worn by women of color are often necessary to meet our unique

needs, and acknowledges that these hairstyles do not result in or reflect less professionalism or commitment to the high standards required to serve within our Armed Forces,” Fudge said. “With these changes, Secretary Hagel and the Department of Defense not only show they are responsive to the individuals who serve within our military, but that he and his leadership respect them as well. The Congressional Black Caucus commends Secretary Hagel for his leadership in addressing this issue.” The Marine Corps, which sent out a survey to its members, will convene a special uniform board this summer to consider expanding which hairstyles are authorized.

A San Francisco Bay Area city is the latest to get hit with a huge, stinky anchovy die-off. Thousands of the fish have died around Foster City, and public works crews have been clearing their carcasses from waters and beaches over the past several days. A similar anchovy die-off occurred earlier this month in Santa Cruz. The high numbers of dead, floating fish forced the harbor to shut down some boat ramps. Experts say the die-offs stem from a higher-than-normal population of anchovies exhausting oxygen in the water and suffocating.

AROUND THE WORLD N. Korea: Bae gets visitor The U.S. State Department says the Swedish Embassy in North Korea has visited a detained American at a labor camp. A spokeswoman said Wednesday this week’s visit was the 12th by Swedish representatives since Kenneth Bae, of Lynnwood, was arrested in November 2012. He is serving 15 years of hard labor for alleged hostile acts against North Korea. She said the department spoke to Bae’s family after Monday’s visit. His family says he has diabetes, heart and liver problems.

During his five-day visit, Francis plans to beatify 124 Korean martyrs and encourage a vibrant and growing church seen as a model for the future of Catholicism. The pope met with four relatives of victims of a South Korean ferry sinking that killed more than 300 and two descendants of martyrs who died rather than renounce their faith.

Support for staying part of Britain rose to 45 percent from 41 percent while backing for independence held at 32 percent, according to a survey published by TNS Wednesday. Among the 71 percent of respondents who said they were certain to vote, the No camp was unchanged at 46 percent, while backing for Yes rose 1 percentage point to 38 percent. Sixteen percent said they were undecided, TNS said. From Herald news services

State jobless rate falls The unemployment rate in the Everett-SeattleBellevue area dropped to 4.7 percent. By Rachel La Corte Associated Press

OLYMPIA — Washington state’s unemployment rate dropped to 5.6 percent last month, according to numbers released Wednesday by the Employment Security Department. The newest numbers show that

July’s jobless rate was down from June’s 5.8 percent rate. The state also added an estimated 7,300 jobs from June to July, and June’s initial repot of 9,100 jobs gained was revised up to a gain of 13,600 jobs. “Washington’s labor market continues to gain momentum,” said Paul Turek, an economist with the Employment Security Department. “Year-over-year, the state saw growth in nearly every industry.” Nearly 93,000 jobs have been added in the state over a one-year period ending in July, officials said, with 12 major industries

expanding and just one — manufacturing — decreasing. The largest job increases in July were seen in professional and business services, which gained 4,500 jobs; leisure and hospitality, which increased by 4,000 jobs; construction, up 2,300 jobs; retail trade, and education and health services, both up 1,100 jobs. Losses were seen in five sectors, including government, which dropped 2,100 jobs, and the transportation, warehousing and utilities industry, which lost 1,700 jobs. The national unemployment

rate for July was 6.2 percent. The unemployment rate in the Everett-Seattle-Bellevue area dropped to 4.7 percent from June’s rate of 4.8 percent. Two different surveys are used to calculate unemployment figures and job losses and gains. The unemployment rate represents the percentage of the labor force that is unemployed and actively looking for work. People who have stopped looking for work aren’t counted. The job gains and losses estimates are based on a U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics survey of businesses.

Amazon offers mobile payment Associated Press NEW YORK — Amazon is taking direct aim at mobile payment systems such as Square by introducing the Amazon Local Register, a credit-card processing device and mobile app designed to help small business owners accept payments through their smartphones and tablets. The move places the largest U.S. e-commerce retailer in competition with Square and other established mobile payment processing systems such as PayPal Here and Intuit’s GoPayment. Amazon’s technology includes a card reader that attaches to a smartphone, Kindle or tablet. The reader processes credit or debit card payments via a secure Amazon network, the same one that processes Amazon.com purchases. The service is designed to serve on-the-go small business owners who might otherwise only accept cash or checks, including massage therapists, food truck operators and artists who sell their work at outdoor fairs. Small businesses can start using Local Register by creating an account on http:// localregister.amazon.com. Businesses must buy Amazon’s card reader for $10, and download the free mobile app from the Amazon app store, the Apple app store or Google Play. The app works on most smartphones and tablets, including the Kindle Fire. Similar to Amazon’s strategy in many of its businesses, the company aims to compete on price in the mobile payment arena. For customers who sign up for the service by Oct. 31, Amazon will take as its fee 1.75 percent of each payment processed, or each “swipe” of the card, a special rate that will last until Jan. 1, 2016.

CUPERTINO, Calif. — Apple’s workforce may be 70 percent male and 55 percent white, but the company still managed Tuesday to hand in one of the most impressive diversity scorecards in Silicon Valley. In revealing for the first time the demographic breakdown of its workforce, Apple reported that 18 percent of its employees are black and Hispanic, which compares to 5 percent for Google and Twitter and 6 percent for Facebook and Yahoo. The release of the report, following similar actions by major Silicon Valley companies, comes amid a heightened focus on the nature of

Atlantic City casino revenues drop 11 percent Atlantic City’s casinos took in 11 percent less from gamblers in July than they did a year ago. Figures released Wednesday by the state Division of Gaming Enforcement show the 11 casinos won $274 million in July, compared with $297.1 million in July 2013. That includes $10 million in Internet gambling revenue, which was up by about $500,000 from June. The numbers were released a day after Revel, the city’s newest casino, announced it will shut down after just over two years of operation as Atlantic City’s casino market undergoes a rapid, unprecedented contraction. It started the year with 12 casinos, but will have eight before fall. So far in 2014, the casinos have taken in $1.55 billion.

who sign up after Oct. 31, Amazon will take a service fee of 2.5 percent of each payment processed. The first $10 in transaction fees will be credited back to the customer, essentially paying for the card reader. That’s below most of its competitors’ rates. Square takes a fee of 2.75 percent of each transaction. PayPal Here takes 2.7 percent of each transaction and Intuit’s GoPayment rates start at 1.75 percent per transaction if businesses pay a $19.95 monthly rate or 2.4 percent of each transaction without a monthly payment. “I’ve actually heard some business owners say the only thing that would make them change (point of sale) systems is cost savings,” said Matt Swann, vice president of local commerce for Amazon.

“Payments are hard and that’s one of the things that gets in the way of serving customers, especially for small businesses,” Swann said. “Payment tools need to be inexpensive, simple and trusted to get the job done.” Amazon is entering the mobile payment space as the industry continues its rapid growth. IDC estimates that mobile payments could top a trillion dollars globally within the next five years. That includes all forms of mobile payments, such as items purchased online via a phone or tablet, fund transfers and items bought using a mobile gadget as a payment-accepting device. It’s difficult to isolate the exact portion of that market represented by point-of-sale mobile commerce, since the biggest player, Square, is private and

doesn’t divulge sales. Also, PayPal doesn’t break out specific revenue from its Here product. Baird Equity analyst Colin Sebastian said Amazon’s move was partly expected since the company bought mobile payment company GoPago in 2013. “The announcement suggests the lines between commerce and payment platforms continue to blur, and we still anticipate other large technology players (like Google and Apple) to expand their own existing payment initiatives, including in-store point-of-sale services.” Local Register is part of a slew of new products and services that Seattle-based Amazon has introduced this year.

Macy’s Inc. on Wednesday reported a 4 percent profit increase in its fiscal second quarter as business rebounded from slow sales earlier in the year. But the department store chain cut its full-year outlook for a key sales measure, saying it couldn’t make up the sales shortfall from the first quarter, when winter storms kept shoppers at home. Shares of Macy’s tumbled nearly 5 percent, or $2.83, to $56.93 in trading Wednesday. Macy’s, a standout among its peers throughout the economic recovery, is the first of the major retailers to report second-quarter results, which should provide insight into shoppers’ mindset heading into the critical final months of the year.

U.S. businesses boost inventories U.S. businesses added to their stockpiles at a slightly slower pace in June compared with May, possibly reflecting weaker sales in the past two months. The Commerce Department said business stockpiles increased 0.4 percent in June on a seasonally adjusted basis after a 0.5 percent gain in May. Sales rose 0.3 percent in June, matching the May increase. Sales have slowed after rapid gains from February through April. Most analysts say they think solid job growth will give a boost to consumer spending and the economy in coming months.

Burger King gets rid of low-calorie fries Burger King is getting rid of its lower-calorie french fries at most restaurants after less than a year. The chain said it gave its franchisees the option to continue selling the french fries earlier this week. Only about 2,500 of the approximately 7,400 locations in the U.S. and Canada opted to continue selling them as a permanent item. The others have started phasing them out. The french fries, called “Satisfries,” were a big bet for Burger King when they were announced in September. But they weren’t as well received as Burger King had hoped. From Herald news services

the tech sector. More than half of Apple’s full-time employees work in retail, according to a company filing last year with the Securities and Exchange Commission. “Their numbers are possibly higher because of those retail positions,” said Freada Kapor Klein, co-founder of the Kapor Center for Social Impact. “But Apple has also added women to senior positions, as well as women of color, which is highly unusual. And that’s absolutely terrific.”

Apple’s gender score, which is for its global workforce, was more in line with the rest of the Valley, with men holding 80 percent of tech jobs and 65 percent of non-tech roles. Apple, like many other tech companies, did not provide a gender breakdown for its U.S. workforce. Cook cited several recent diversity hires and promotions in his letter, including Eddy Cue, senior vice president of Internet Software and Services, who is Latino, as well as Angela Ahrendts, senior vice president of retail and online stores, the former Burberry CEO who joined Apple this year.

Analyst Van Baker with Gartner Research had high praise for Cook’s track record on bringing more diversity to the company, and not just in terms of women and ethnic minorities. “You’ve got to argue that more than any other CEO in the country, Tim Cook has been a champion of acceptance of sexual orientation and a big supporter of human rights campaigns,” said Baker. Noting that Cook recently joined more than 4,000 of his fellow Apple employees marching in the San Francisco Gay Pride Parade, the analyst pointed out

that “few CEOs would take positions on these things. So it’s clear that he’s willing to put his principles out there, regardless of what people think.’ Jackson’s group now hopes that tech companies will disclose the diversity information annually. That could be a valuable incentive for companies to keep up the push for diversity, said Kapor Klein. “Apple’s numbers may be better than the others that have shared their information publicly so far,” she said. “But other companies may look at this and say, ‘If Apple can do this, so can we.’ And each time another company reaches a relatively high number that’ll raise the bar again for everyone else.”

In keeping with other tech companies, Apple broke down its employees into those holding “tech” and “non-tech” jobs. U.S. Apple workers in nontech roles, such as human resources and public relations, are 56 percent white, 14 percent Hispanic, 9 percent Asian and 9 percent black. Nine percent of Apple employees declined to share their backgrounds. Apple’s U.S. employees in the tech category, which includes engineers and Genius Bar staffers, are 54 percent white, 23 percent Asian, 7 percent Hispanic and 6 percent black. Those statistics measure up well next to Google, Yahoo, Twitter and Facebook — companies where just 1 percent of tech jobs are

device was used to buy a product, Facebook said Wednesday. Facebook has been bulking up advertising services as the social network’s mobile ads propel revenue and profit. While users and privacy watchdogs around the world criticize Facebook’s use of personal data, the company is under pressure from advertisers to prove that their mobile promotions are effective. With the new crossdevice service announced Wednesday, Facebook

is aiming to prove that mobile ads can lead to purchases, even if those purchases aren’t necessarily made on a smartphone. In a study with Altimeter Group, Facebook found that among people who showed interest in a mobile ad, more than 32 percent took action on desktop computers within 28 days. Because Facebook’s users must log in to use the service, the company can link their identities with their behavior as they

switch between devices throughout the day. That allows Facebook to give more information to marketers than they could glean from other online tracking methods, such as cookies that log activity within a Web browser. “With the new crossdevice report, advertisers are now able to see where someone saw an ad, the device they used, and which device was used when they converted,” Facebook said Wednesday.

The company’s most recent quarterly report in July showed a deeperthan-expected second quarter loss despite surging revenue. Since then, the company’s stock has fallen about 11 percent. Amazon has been expanding into the payment space with other products: Amazon

payments, which lets users with stored credit card or banking information on the Amazon site use their Amazon login to pay at sites other than Amazon. And Amazon Wallet, a beta app that lets users store gift cards, loyalty and rewards cards and membership cards and redeem them in store or online.

IN OUR VIEW | Trans-Pacific Partnership

Take the politics out of trade International trade has its own architecture. It’s buttressed by good, average and nose-pinching trade agreements with some institutional scaffolding, such as the ExportImport Bank, thrown in. A few of those supports — the Ex-Im bank, in particular — risk collapse. On Tuesday, the U.S. Trade Representative, Ambassador Michael Froman, was in town to participate in an agriculture roundtable, tour Boeing, and underscore the importance of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a comprehensive free trade agreement years in the making. “No state is more oriented to trade than Washington,” Froman told The Herald. In fact, Washington topped out

at $81.6 billion in exports this year, a record. The TPP, the centerpiece of the Obama administration’s “pivot” toward Asia, was launched in 2005 during the George W. Bush era. The mission was to have negotiations sewed up by 2012, but sticking points over intellectual property rights and agriculture have triggered delays. For Northwest farmers and the high-tech industry, ensuring that the highest standards are incorporated is worth the extended wait. The future of the ExportImport Bank is more concerning. Congress has until Sept. 30 to OK re-authorization of the 80-year old institution. What should be a no-brainer — a boost to manufacturers and

workers in trade-dependent states like Washington, and a program that doesn’t whack taxpayers — is a political football. In June, freshman U.S. Rep. Denny Heck, D-Olympia, introduced the Protect American Jobs and Exports Act of 2014, which extends the bank’s charter until 2021, and stretches the current cap by $5 billion a year. “If we abandon this resource, we are allowing China, Russia and European countries to gain ground in export deals previously made with us, the economic equivalent of forfeiting in the World Cup when we know we have the best team,” Heck said in a statement. Rep. Rick Larsen, D-Everett, who shepherded the bill reauthorizing the bank in 2012 and

accompanied Froman on his Boeing tour, noted that, “in my district, the bank supports thousands of jobs at companies of all sizes by helping these businesses sell their products overseas. The bank successfully finances billions of dollars of exports without costing taxpayers a dime.” Washington’s Congressional delegation is united, with the notable exception of Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Spokane (there’s been significant tea party opposition to Ex-Im, and McMorris Rodgers is part of the House leadership.) On matters of trade — presupposing environmental, labor and other concerns are addressed — bipartisanship is a necessity.

John’s tireless work during the Oso tragedy, his wife by his side, is a stark example of his compassion for people and his capabilities. Personally, I am impressed with his ongoing work with our youth over the years. He connects and communicates very well with them. I ask you to join me in voting to retain John Lovick as our Snohomish County executive. You can be confident he will serve the public good.

The writer blames the U.S. for exporting our gangs back to Central America. She might have mentioned that those gangs went back to their home countries to work in the drug trades that exist because of our own sick drug-infested society. She questions our sense of compassion and responsibility for the refugees. That we already have some 11 or 12 million of those refugees who came here illegally, apparently matters not. She should have to explain to folks like my neighbor, who is from Mexico, and waited five years for his citizenship, why it is that we should grant citizenship to folks just because they are here. We may bear some responsibility for the miserable state of Central American governments, but their own society bears, by far, most blame. They have been dysfunctional for a long time. By taking their problems off their hands we only make it possible for them to further delay taking the steps that are necessary for a functioning government and economy.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■TRIBAL LAND

Tax refund decision is wrong In response to the July 6 article, “County refunding $5 million in taxes to building owners on tribal land”: This includes residents, Wal-Mart and Home Depot who will not pay future taxes. The upsetting part is that they are being refunded taxes paid in the last three years. The money is to be taken from schools and fire departments. This is appalling. The education will be curtailed and these children are the future! The firemen risk their lives for us and to cheat them is disgusting! Who makes such sick decisions? The Walton family that owns Wal-Mart is richer than the Queen of England. Wal-Mart should be paying to help local communities, not robbing them. Ann Corin Lynnwood

■■CONFEDERATE FLAG

To each his/her own meaning

Regarding Julie Muhlstein’s Wednesday column, “An ugly intruder invades perfection”: The Confederate flag means a lot of different things to a lot of different people. And they’re not all bad. It is also the state flag of Alabama. I have no expectations that everyone is going to hold or respect my conservative beliefs. Why do those leaning left (liberals!) always expect that your point of view is the only acceptable one? Richard Quint Lake Stevens

Civic-minded Wilson needed The best replacement for Mike Hope is Mike Wilson. I have known Mike for many years as a fellow colleague and teacher at Cascade High School in Everett, where he teaches history and government. Mike is not just a great fellow, but a wonderful human being with a big heart and excellent social skills and concern for his fellow human beings. He is very well informed about what is going on in the state of Washington and the world. He is very dedicated to his job and family. Mike loves the outdoors, fishing and hunting. He ties some of the best flies I have ever seen. Mike will be an indispensable asset in Olympia. Ernest Brockmann Everett

■■ELECTION

Retain Lovick as county executive The privilege of serving the public for the past 21 years as chairman of the Snohomish County Target Zero DUI Task Force has afforded me the opportunity of getting to know our local officials. One who stands out is John Lovick, our Snohomish County executive. John’s previous work in law enforcement and the Washington Legislature has saved lives. As a Washington State Patrol trooper, he removed impaired drivers from our roadways; as a legislator he helped us pass tougher DUI and other traffic safety laws. John’s commitment an dedication to promoting public safety compelled the DUI Task Force to honor him with a Lifetime Achievement Award. As a legislator, John also sponsored legislation to strengthen our state’s auto theft laws. Snohomish County had one of the highest auto theft rates in the country. Then, as sheriff, he enforced the new theft laws, eliminated chop shops, and the stunning results are history. John is respected for his devotion to serving the public and the fact that in both his personal and professional dealings he always exhibits the highest degree of integrity.

■■BORDER REFUGEES

U.S. not to blame for current crisis A guest commentary that ran in the Seattle Times reflects a big problem of which everyone should be aware. (“How U.S. foreign policy in Central America created the child border crisis.”) The writer is yet another apologist for dysfunctional governments in other nations that blames the U.S. for the problems. The latest is a former UW program director who claims that we bear the greater responsibility for the crisis at our southern border. Our economic and foreign policies in those countries are misguided, she claims. We propped up failed leaders and continue to do so. She of course fails to mention what happens when we decide that leaders in some countries need to go. You know, like in Iraq and Libya, and were strongly encouraged by some to do the same in Syria. We have done the same in Central and South America with similar results. It doesn’t seem to matter in some countries just who does run them. Both the Middle East and Central America, and to a lesser extent in South America, have populations and birth rates that far exceed the ability of their respective economies to provide enough jobs. Unemployment in some of those countries exceeds 50 percent.

■■SYRIA

Stoning reveals present day hate In reference to the article in Sunday’s paper about the stoning of two women accused of adultery, I am appalled at the hypocrisy of the Islam extremists. The women may have been guilty of adultery, but they didn’t do it alone. Where were the men involved? If Islam, like Christianity, teaches that sex outside of marriage is wrong, then the men are as guilty as the women. Or are their men incapable of self-control when tempted? If so, then I am not impressed with their standard of manhood. Florence Day Everett

Home of the free, gloomy

ASHINGTON — It is the very essence of the American Dream: an irrepressible confidence that our children will live better than we do. And now it is gone. It has been slipping for some time, really, but a Wall Street Journal/ NBC News poll this month put an exclamation point on Americans’ lost optimism. When asked if “life for our children’s generation will be better than it has been for us,” 76 percent said they do not have such confidence. Only 21 percent did. That was the worst ever recorded in the poll; in 2001, 49 percent were confident and 42 percent not. When you look closer, things seem even worse, if that’s possible. I called Fred Yang, the Democratic pollster who conducted the survey along with Republican Bill McInturff, and he told me the pessimism was universal. The wealthy were as down as the poor (75 percent and 73 percent, respectively) and even those who felt that they were doing well perDANA MILBANK sonally didn’t think their children would do as well (61 percent). Women are as grim as men, and there’s little difference according to race (whites are slightly more pessimistic and Hispanics slightly less) or by region (Westerners are slightly less gloomy than the others). The young are relatively less pessimistic than the old (64 percent to 86 percent) but still plenty discouraged in absolute terms. Republicans (88 percent) were more dour than Democrats (61 percent), just as Democrats were more dour than Republicans when the question was asked in 2006 (71 percent to 56 percent) during a similar stage in George W. Bush’s presidency. In other words, the gloom goes beyond wealth, gender, race, region, age and ideology. This fractious nation is united by one thing: lost faith in the United States. Certainly, some of the dark outlook has to do with the slow economic recovery. And there’s justification for the pessimism: Millennials are, by some measures, the first generation in U.S. history to see a decline in living standards. But now the economy is improving measurably, and optimism hasn’t followed. “I keep thinking, boy, these numbers are going to turn around, and they don’t turn around, they’re enduring,” said Andrew Kohut, founding director of the Pew Research Center. Kohut attributes the phenomenon to structural problems such as income inequality, and he notes that people in other advanced countries have also been more pessimistic since the 2008 economic collapse. That’s true, but Americans were already plenty pessimistic about the next generation (65 percent to 27 percent) back in 2006, when the economy was strong. Yang’s suspicion, which I share, is that something deeper is also at work: Americans are reacting, in part, to the breakdown of the political system, which leaves people quite rationally worried about American decline and the nation’s diminishing ability to weather crises. “One of the hallmarks of being an American is the optimism that your children will be better off,” Yang told me. The lost optimism, he said, “says a lot about how shaken we are by the inability of our political system to address seemingly easy issues, and it leaves us worried about the future.” In a narrow sense, this is good news for President Obama because it means the problem is not of his making but the result of two decades of scorched-earth politics. That’s bad news for the rest of us, though, because the problem is larger than any leader’s ability to bring hope and change. For much of U.S. history, optimism was a given. The Washington Post’s polling analyst, Scott Clement, came up with a 1942 survey by Princeton University’s Office of Public Opinion Research that found U.S. parents, by 43 percent to 27 percent, expected their children to be better off in 20 years. A Roper poll in 1983 found that 54 percent thought it likely that children would have a better life than their parents, versus 44 percent who didn’t. In 1990, the WSJ/ NBC poll found the optimists besting the pessimists, 50 percent to 45 percent. Since then, various polling outfits have had different results, with some finding generally higher levels of optimism and others closer to the NBC/WSJ results. But virtually all polling shows a steep decline in optimism since the late 1990s and early 2000s. Yang doesn’t see that improving much, even as the economy does. “The unsettledness of the public is what is normal now,” he said. “To me, this is less about economic reality than about our political system — our lack of confidence that our political leaders, regardless of party, are equipped to deal with the future.” Dana Milbank is a Washington Post columnist.

Father of slain girl forgives suspect

He considered the accused teen to be ‘part of the family’ Associated Press BREMERTON — The father of a slain 6-year-old Washington girl says he forgives the 17-year-old neighbor suspected of killing her, and he is leaning on his religion following her death. Gabriel Gaeta “chose wrong,” but “I’ve already forgiven him,” James Wright told the Kitsap Sun. Gaeta is jailed on investigation of first-degree murder and rape in the case involving Jenise Wright. Prosecutors are awaiting a competency review before charging the teen. They are pursuing the case in Kitsap County Superior Court, where Gaeta is expected to be tried as an adult. Jenise’s body was found Aug. 7 after an intensive search involving

hundreds of law enforcement officers and others. An FBI team with search dogs discovered the girl’s body covered by a wood pallet and submerged in a muddy bog in woods near her Bremerton home. Court records show she suffered blunt-force trauma to the head and was strangled and sexually assaulted, and that her body appeared to have been moved between a half-hour and three hours after she died. Authorities said they linked evidence found near the girl’s body to the DNA of Gaeta, a high school wrestler with no criminal history. A search of his home found evidence, including a blood- and mud-covered shirt and a bloody towel in Gaeta’s bedroom.

James Wright told the Kitsap Sun that Gaeta was “part of the family” and among the many friends and neighbors welcomed into their lively home in the Steele Creek Mobile Home in East Bremerton.

“How can I be in (God’s) grace if I don’t forgive?” said Wright, a member of the Church of Jesus Christ Latter Day Saints. Denise Wright said she’s aware of death threats being made toward the suspect’s family, and “I

just want everybody to stop.” “It’s not their fault this happened. Just blame him, not his family,” she said. Meanwhile, James and Denise Wright are focusing on regaining custody of three children who were removed from their care Aug. 4, as authorities began investigating Jenise’s disappearance. The state placed the children with two adult siblings in Bellingham. Just hours before the Wrights appeared in court for Gaeta’s bail hearing Monday, they had a hearing to regain custody of the other children, ages 8, 12 and 16. They have been allowed visitation, and have another court hearing next week, KING-TV reported. James Wright told the Kitsap Sun he is taking steps to heal and leaning on his faith in Jesus. But without the other kids in the house, the healing can’t begin. “How can you put a puzzle back together if you don’t have all the pieces?” he asked.

Students sue over bar exam software Some lawyers-to-be are claiming mental anguish and loss of future income. By Nigel Duara Associated Press

Commissioner Amanda Fritz also spoke with Human Access Project and Geese Guys representatives last month. According to Willie Levenson, head of Human Access Project, she expressed her support. A representative in Commissioner Fritz’s office confirmed that she’s intrigued by the idea and would like to learn more. So how did we get to this point? In some ways it’s simple. “People love large expanses of grass next to water, and so do geese,” Grompone said. Canada geese nearly went extinct in the early 1900s due to over-hunting. With protections established through the Federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918, their populations slowly rebounded but some subspecies, like the Duskie, remain endangered. According to Bob Sallinger, conservation director at the Audubon Society of Portland, historically Canada geese wouldn’t

PORTLAND — Law students taking the bar exam have it tough: Three years hitting the books. Hundreds of thousands of dollars in tuition. And all of it, potentially wasted with a few failed attempts at the dreaded state-administered test. So in late July, with one day of the grueling session behind them, thousands of law students were surprised to find that they couldn’t upload their answers using the software they purchased from Florida-based ExamSoft Worldwide Inc. Third-year law students with mountains of debt were perhaps not the best crowd to tick off. They sued. And they sued. And they sued. “On the long list of things about which exam takers should be worried, wondering whether they will be able to turn in their exams for grading should be at the very bottom,” according to a lawsuit filed in Washington. “It is hard to imagine anything more basic in an exam than being able to turn it in for grading.” In Northern California, Eastern Washington and Illinois, students burned by the botched test claimed direct harm and damage to their future earnings. They’re also seeking class action status and looking for other students harmed by the failed test. The company, through a public relations agency, declined to comment on the litigation. No one yet knows whether a student failed the bar because of the upload errors. One San Francisco plaintiff said she was still suffering because she hadn’t gotten a clear answer by the time she sued on Aug. 8. The crux of the argument is that ExamSoft should have seen the problems coming — a tidal wave of test-takers operating on new software — and did nothing to solve them. The company said in a statement that it believes the problems were caused by a server configuration issue. The issues were exacerbated by the number of students using the servers, but not caused by them. “We can confirm that this was not simply a matter of the large volume associated with the July 2014 exam,” according to a statement released by ExamSoft marketing

Lightning ignites new NW fires Rain helps, but the storms are increasing the risk of more fires, as well as flooding. By Jeff Barnard Associated Press

GRANTS PASS, Ore. — Overnight thunderstorms dampened some Northwest wildfires on Wednesday, but lightning threatened to spark more flames as hot, dry weather was forecast to return by the weekend.

Up to a half-inch of rain fell on the eastern slopes of the North Cascades in Washington, where some of the worst wildfires this summer burned about 300 homes, the National Weather Service office in Spokane said. Forecasters issued a flash flood watch for the area because of the chance of rapid runoff on areas scorched by fire. Many other parts of eastern Washington did not receive significant rain Tuesday night and Wednesday morning and the risk of new wildfires from lightning strikes continues, said

meteorologist Jeremy Wolf. Oregon received rain in spots from thunderstorms that moved through Tuesday and firefighters were generally helped by cooler temperatures and higher humidity, said Carol Connolly at the Northwest Interagency Coordination Center in Portland. Lightning on Monday started a fire in southwest Oregon’s Jackson County that has burned about a square mile, Connolly said. Crews were working to protect about 130 homes threatened by the Rogue River Drive Fire near Eagle Point. About 7,000 lightning strikes

hit central Oregon on Tuesday and crews responded to 14 new fires but all were tiny, the Central Oregon Interagency Dispatch Center said. The biggest concern in Oregon, Connolly said, is a fire burning in the Hell’s Canyon area in the northeast corner of the state near the Idaho border. It has burned about 42 square miles and it continues to spread through rugged terrain that is too risky for firefighters. As thunderstorms moved into Washington on Tuesday they stirred up a spectacular See FIRES, Page B2

Dogs deployed in war on goose droppings Canines intimidate the geese by staring at them and acting like predators. By James Reddick The Oregonian

WILSONVILLE, Ore. — Charbonneau Golf Club in Wilsonville had such a problem with Canada geese that members who had been with the club for decades stopped playing, golf director Chris Bensel recalls. Then Charbonneau reached out to Geese Guys, the first wildlife management company in the Northwest to use Border collies to shepherd these stubborn populations elsewhere. The course’s geese flock went from more than 1,000 nine months ago to 16 as of July 30, Geese Guys co-owner Kristen Grompone said. Now the company is in talks with Portland Parks & Recreation about addressing the city’s abundance of geese. Human Access Project, a non-profit group promoting usage of the Willamette riverfront, has

offered to pay the cost of a threeyear pilot project at Tom McCall Waterfront Park. The problem the company offers to solve is big. Geese leave two to three pounds of fecal matter per adult, every day. Human Access Project shelled out $1,000 last week for a crew to rake goose droppings off the grass in Tom

McCall Waterfront Park before participants in the annual Big Float event could wade into the water. The cleaning took six hours. Parks officials are listening to the Geese Guys’ pitch. Officials from the company, the Human Access Project, the Audubon Society and parks bureau met July 21.

vice president Ken Knotts in response to questions from The Associated Press. “In fact, we have handled greater volumes of exam uploads in the past. “ He continued: “Unfortunately, (recent) upgrades, made in an attempt to improve the exam taker experience, played a role in the postexam processing delay that some bar exam takers experienced on July 29, despite system field performance review and ongoing monitoring.” The company declined to say how many students it expected to take the test, how many students it was capable of handling and how many students it served. The company also would not discuss whether it conducted any dry-runs before the exam, and if it did, what the results of those tests showed. Knotts said the company is not aware of any student who missed his or her deadline. “We absolutely sympathize with the bar applicants who experienced a delay, and we again offer our sincere apologies.” The company did not offer refunds to students who paid between $125 and $150 for the privilege of using a computer; students were permitted to use a pencil and paper for free. ExamSoft said it could not comment on refunds, citing the ongoing litigation.

2 Hotshots injured in fire ELLENSBURG — A spokeswoman for a wildfire burning in central Washington said two firefighters from the Arizona-based Navajo Hotshots crew were injured when a large log rolled down a steep slope and hit them Wednesday. The two men’s lower leg injuries seem to be mainly bruises. They were taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, where they were being treated. Both were reported in stable condition. They were not identified. Fire crews on the South Cle Elum Ridge Fire made progress Wednesday in creating fire containment lines on the west flank. Cooler temperatures and rain that fell Tuesday night allowed them to work close to the fire’s edge.

culture that handed down a mere two-game suspension to running back Ray Rice, who allegedly struck his then-fiance in an Atlantic City casino. “I was beyond disgusted with that,” she said. But before she could bring the fight to the NFL, her plans were put on hold. “They knew that this was happening and we’re already so unbelievably stressed out as it is,” Booher said. “They’re not getting punished, they’re not apologizing for adding to our mental anguish. “Had they just come out and said, ‘Oh, my God, we are so sorry’ and refunded my money, maybe it would have been different.” ExamSoft was founded in 1998, and now, 42 state bar associations require exam takers who choose to use computers to purchase the company’s SoftTest program. The students are instructed to upload their answers by midnight. A failure to do so results in a zero on the exam. When the software failed, ExamSoft was flooded with calls. Some spent hours waiting for customer support. All the while, the clock was ticking toward midnight. According to the complaint, ExamSoft told computer users to try the upload again or to ignore the problem. Some were told that the company was sorry. Booher’s lawsuit compiled the reaction on social networks into its own Exhibit A. The hashtags #barmageddon and #bargazhi started getting traction. Scores of students took to Facebook and Twitter to vent. The dean of Northwestern University Law School told the company that it owed students a refund.

Aberdeen: Alleged abuser seen here Washington State Patrol detectives said they’ve gotten a credible tip that a minister accused of sexually abusing at least two girls at his religious fellowship in Minnesota has been seen in Raymond, near the Washington coast. Patrol Lt. Shane Nelson said Victor Barnard, 52, reportedly was seen Wednesday leaving a fast-food restaurant in Raymond, heading toward Aberdeen, driving a dark blue Audi and accompanied by a woman. Barnard is charged in with 59 counts of sexual molestation of children. Two young women say they were abused for nearly a decade.

The 29-yearold man was treated for minor injuries Tuesday night and jailed for a possible charge of harming a police dog. Police said Richard M. Urbanski is a chronic offender who also was wanted on an arrest warrant from the state Department of Corrections. When officers went to a home to arrest him, they said he hid in the crawl space. They say he choked the dog by twisting its collar and didn’t let go until shot with a Taser.

A man apparently wounded his wife then killed himself Wednesday at a home near Longview. The Cowlitz County sheriff’s office said a 10-year-old boy called 911 shortly after midnight and said his dad shot his mom. Deputies got the woman and three or four children out of the home. She was taken to a hospital in Portland and is believed to be in stable condition with a bullet wound in the back. The sheriff’s office said SWAT officers found the man dead in an upstairs room at the house. He was identified as 30-year-old Miguel Angel Milian. From Herald news services

Droppings: Dogs have a way of getting geese to scatter From Page B1

spend much time in Oregon. â€œWhat you had was a temporary stopover,â€? he said. â€œThatâ€™s really changed in the last half-century.â€? Municipalities throughout the country introduced the thenexotic geese into local parks as the urban renewal projects of the 1950s created ideal goose habitat. In urban areas, few predators like coyotes prey on them. Geese will eat just about anything, and people often oblige the birdsâ€™ appetites with bread and other snacks. They also breed prolifically, with 5 to 8 goslings in one season. Increasingly accustomed to the perks of urban life, some of the geese that humans invited in stopped migrating.

â€œIt was well-intentioned, but now theyâ€™re beating out everything else,â€? Grompone said. Cities have struggled to respond. Seattle began transporting its geese eastward in the early 1990s, and then in 2000 rounded up and killed more than 3,000. Seattle officials likely havenâ€™t forgotten the protests that these measures sparked. According to Sallinger, of Audubon, this practice of culling geese is both controversial and unproductive. â€œItâ€™s not worth it â€” it angers people and isnâ€™t effective,â€? he said. â€œTime and again people have found that the populations are just replaced by others.â€? Border collies, say Geese Guys representatives, can be more humane and effective. At the Charbonneau golf

course, Fish, a four-year-old collie, encircled a family of five geese in a pond just off a green one afternoon last week. As he swam towards the birds, they started honking with agitation. For a while, he stared. According to Grompone, that unnerving attention is what makes Border collies especially effective. Most dogs simply pursue, which would startle geese but not serve as a long-term deterrent. Although the Border collies never attack the birds, they play the role of a predator. After Fish did the hard work, Grompone eventually grabbed a kayak to give the stubborn geese a last push out of the water. As they flew away, a group of golfers cheered. â€œThese guys have a legendary reputation around here,â€? Bensel

said. â€œItâ€™s been a huge change for us.â€? Geese Guys planned to be back the next day to remind the birds they werenâ€™t in a geesefriendly zone. What motivates Grompone, a former wildlife biologist, isnâ€™t necessarily pristine fairways but healthy ecosystems. Not only does goose waste deter people from using public spaces, it degrades nearby water quality. With more frequent algae blooms, fish populations die off. In turn, eagles, ospreys, peregrine falcons and other native hunters go elsewhere. â€œI donâ€™t see the geese as pests,â€? Grompone said. â€œBut things are out of balance. Weâ€™re trying to encourage ecosystem resilience.â€? Whether or not Border collies will soon start patrolling Portlandâ€™s downtown waterfront

remains an open question. Initial cost estimates for Tom McCall Park are $15,000 the first year with a 10 percent reduction each of the two following years. Human Access Project would cover this cost, with a discount from Geese Guys for event sponsorship. Parks officials have said they want to find a holistic approach that covers a variety of goose hotspots. And if the city wanted to address more than Tom McCall Park, funding could become an issue for the parks bureau, which, as spokesman Mark Ross emphasized, has faced five years of budget cuts. Still, this is a problem that he admits will only get worse. â€œManaging geese is something that almost every municipality is facing,â€? he said. â€œThereâ€™s just no reason for them to leave.â€?

ANNOUNCEMENT OF AVAILABILITY OF DRAFT STATE WASTE DISCHARGE PERMIT TO THE MUKILTEO WATER AND WASTEWATER DISTRICT PERMIT NO.: ST0007291 APPLICANT: The Boeing Company Everett ModiďŹ cation Center 3100 - 112th Street SW Everett, Snohomish County has reapplied for a State Waste Discharge permit in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 90.48 Revised Code of Washington (RCW) and Chapter 173-216 Washington Administrative Code (WAC).

Notice of Mitigated Determination of Non-SigniďŹ cance (MDNS) Port SEPA File No. 2014-06 The Port of Everett has issued a mitigated determination of nonsignificance (MDNS) under the State Environmental Policy Act Rules (Chapter WAC 197-11) for the following project: Proponent and Lead Agency: Port of Everett, P O Box 538 Everett, WA 98201 Description of Proposed Action: The Por t of Everett (Por t) proposes to conduct maintenance work below and above Ordinary High Water (OHW) for the puipose of bank stabilization at the Port of Everett, in Everett, Washington to protect critical upland marine tenrtinal infrastructure. The bank stabilization system location of interest is comprised of a timber bulkhead and rock revetment toe protection that is approximately 75 ft. long. The bank stabilization system provides retention of backfill and wave protection for the South Terminal Electrical Substation. The electrical substation is located within 7-10 ft. landward of the edge of the bulkhead. This substation is the primary electrical feed for important marine terminals infrastructure, and if damaged would result in a shutdown of vital infrastructure. This shutdown would result in diverted cargo and serious economic damages to the region. Work is expected to begin in November 2014 and due to the work window that allows for in-water construction work (typically July 15th - February 15th), the project will end February 2015. Location: The project site is located at the Port of Everettâ€™s South Terminal in Section 30, Township 29 Nor th, Range 05 East, Willamette Meridian. After review of a completed checklist and other information on ďŹ le with the agency, the Port of Everett has determined that this proposal will not have a probable adverse impact on the environment. Copies of the MDNS and other ďŹ le information are available at the Port of Everett Administrative Office located at 1205 Craftsman Way, Suite 200, Everett, WA 98201. The public is invited to comment on this MDNS by submitting written comments no later than August 28, 2014 to Brandon Whitaker, at the above address.

‘Keep it rolling’ Pacific enters the Little League World Series with 12-game winning streak By David Krueger Herald Writer

Christmas came early for the Pacific Little League baseball team. Just two days after defeating Oregon 6-3 in a regional championship game, the All-Stars found themselves in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, as the Northwest’s representative in

the Little League World Series. Pacific, which is comprised of 12- and 13-year-olds from Lynnwood, Edmonds and unincorporated Snohomish County, was welcomed to the Northeast with a bunch of new gear, including uniforms, Oakley sunglasses, baseball bats, cleats, backpacks and pads. “It’s like Christmas times 50,” Pacific manager Robley Corsi, Jr. said. “It’s been a whirlwind, We’ve gone nonstop since we got up. There’s (new) uniforms, badges, headshots, media stuff — it’s the life of a big leaguer.” The All-Stars are hoping to

continue their old ways in their new gear. Dating back to the state Little League tournament, Pacific has won 12 consecutive games. It went 6-0 at the regionals in San Bernardino, California, punctuated by its second win of the tournament over Oregon in the regional championship. Pacific gets its first Little League World Series test at noon Thursday when it takes on Jackie Robinson West Little League, the Great Lakes regional champion out of Chicago. See ROLLING, Page C2

McClendon’s advice to Little Leaguers: ‘Just enjoy it’ By John Boyle Herald Writer

SEATTLE — Lloyd McClendon jokes that he’s too old to have any memories from his time at the 1971 Little League World Series. But when pressed a little, the Mariners manager, who earned the nickname “Legendary

Lloyd” for hitting five home runs in as many at bats for Gary, Indiana, does remember one thing in particular. Being scared. McClendon wasn’t scared of playing against the best competition in the world, however. He was scared when it came time to do a TV interview with another legend, former New

York Yankees great Mickey Mantle. “I tried to run,” McClendon said. “He said, ‘Come back here.’ I literally tried to run away from him.” Asked why he would run away from a Hall of Famer, McClendon chuckled and said, See ADVICE, Page C2

Just let it all hang out. Play as hard as you can for your city and hope for the best. It’s just a really cool time, something you worked really hard for. — Colby Rasmus, Toronto Blue jays center fielder who played in the 1999 Little League World Series

SEATTLE — It was just 10 days ago that Seattle Mariners righthander Hisashi Iwakuma lost a game much like Wednesday’s 2-0 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays at Safeco Field. Not this time. Not the way the Mariners are rolling. Kendrys Morales hit a two-run homer in the first inning against Toronto knuckleballer R.A. Dickey. And Iwakuma and the bullpen made it hold up in completing a three-game sweep over the Jays and an 8-1 homestand. Iwakuma (11-6) worked the first 62⁄3 innings before a fourreliever relay completed the shutout. Fernando Rodney pitched the ninth for his 35th save, which pulled him back into a tie Kendrys with Kansas City’s Morales Greg Holland for Belts two-run the American home run in League lead. the first inning The Mariners, at 65-55, also moved to 10 games above .500 for the first time since finishing the 2007 season at 88-74. They also remained in a virtual tie with Detroit for the AL’s final wild-card berth. After an open date Thursday, the Mariners open a three-game weekend series Friday at Detroit. Iwakuma nursed the 2-0 lead into the seventh inning before issuing his first walk — to Munenori Kawasaki with one out. After Juan Francisco’s grounder resulted in a force out at second base, the Mariners went to the bullpen. The switch to lefty Charlie Furbush prompted a counter-move: Danny Valencia batted for Josh Thole. Furbush walked Valencia, which turned over the lineup and led to another pitching change. Danny Farquhar struck out Jose Reyes. Yoervis Medina worked around a two-out single in the eighth before Rodney closed out the victory. Dickey (9-12) gave up two runs and seven hits in six innings. Dickey probably deserved better, but Iwakuma knows the feeling. He suffered a 1-0 loss on See M’S, Page C3

Don’t pigeonhole Seahawks’ versatile Baldwin with labels The confident, talented receiver stands to have a lot more balls thrown his way this season. By John Boyle Herald Writer

RENTON — There are so many ways to get Seattle Seahawks receiver Doug Baldwin riled up — after all, his teammates don’t jokingly call him “Angry Doug Baldwin” for nothing. Call the Seahawks receivers “pedestrian” or “appetizers” to the main course, or question if they can make enough plays to win without Percy Harvin, or remind Baldwin about when he was drafted (he wasn’t), or … Well, you get the point.

Here’s one more term to avoid when describing Baldwin: slot receiver. “It pisses me off, to be honest with you, when people call me a slot receiver, because that’s not who I am,” Baldwin said. “That was just my position when I got here, that’s where they told me where they wanted me to play.” It might seem odd that Baldwin would mind being called a slot receiver. After all, he’s been a darn good one for the Seahawks over the past three years, leading the team in catches and yards as a rookie and ranking second in both categories last year playing frequently in the slot. One could argue that Baldwin just signed a three-year, $13 million extension this offseason precisely because of his work in the slot.

INSIDE: Outdoor Outlook, C2

But Baldwin’s problem with the label “slot receiver” is that it limits him. Baldwin primarily played as an outside receiver at Stanford, and time and time again has thrived as a flanker or split end when injuries have put him into those positions as a Seahawk. It’s not that Baldwin has anything against playing in the slot; he just wants to be known as more than a one-trick pony. “I think I’m versatile in many ways, and I personally think that if any receiver wants to relegate themselves just to the slot, they’re limiting themselves,” Baldwin said. “There are many guys who have been able to display an ability to play the slot and play outside, and I think I’m one of those guys.” See BALDWIN, Page C6

Rolling From Page C1

The All-Stars are guaranteed at least three games in Williamsport. “I think our team has momentum,” said Robley Corsi, III, a catcher and outfielder for Pacific. “... I think it was our dream to go to the Little League World Series and it came true.” “I think we’re going to get rolling right here at the right time,” said Corsi, Jr, his son’s manager. “We steadily got better at regionals and now I’m just hoping we explode. We just got to keep that thing rolling. Keep ... that ... thing ... rolling.” A big part of Pacific’s

ig game and turkey hunters who drive each fall to north-central Washington for their favorite activity should probably be prepared to do a little research before heading out. Wildfires — some still burning — have devastated more than 25,000 acres of land managed by the state Department of Fish and Wildlife, much of it prime habitat for big game, turkey, doves, grouse, and other critters. The Wildlife Areas involved include Indian Dan and Pateros (both near the town of Pateros), Texas Creek (south of Carlton), Chilliwist (northwest of Malott), Methow (near Winthrop) and Swakane (north of Wenatchee). For more specific information, the state advises hunters to first check the wildfire webpage at www.wdfw.wa.gov/wildfires, and then, call the regional offices for the phone numbers of the individual Wildlife Areas, then call the area you’re interested in. The headquarters for Region 2, which covers Okanogan and Chelan counties, is in Ephrata (509-7544624). Yakima is the headquarters for Region 3, covering Kittitas and Yakima counties. The phone number is 509-575-2740. Some of the area burned by the Carlton Complex fire includes acreage used by a local mule deer population that lives there year-around, and thousands of migratory deer during the winter. “Even with ideal weather conditions, there will be too many deer for the area to support this winter, and possibly for several years to come,” state district biologist Scott Fitkin said. “We know we need to take steps to reduce the size of the herd, and that effort will focus first

Cabela’s presents a free kids’ trout pond and a wide range of other activities at its Fall Great Outdoor Days celebration from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday at its Tulalip location. Plans call for seminars, guest appearances, sales, family activities, sponsor exhibits, a free barbecue and more. Saturday’s program includes the free kids’ trout pond on site; fly tying; gold panning; BB gun range; and a fly casting walk-in clinic. Experts on hand for free seminars and presentations include Don Simonson with fly-fishing techniques for all; charter skipper Nick Kester on fall salmon; and

on minimizing conflicts between deer and agricultural landowners.” The department likely will increase the number of antlerless deer permits issued this fall and winter, first to youth, seniors and hunters with disabilities. Hunters who already have applied for deer permits in the area need not file a new application. The agency plans to pull deer and other wildlife away from agricultural conflict with feed this summer and fall, and is considering a feeding program for deer this winter. “Winter feeding is not a long term solution,” Fitkin said. “At best, it’s a stop-gap until the deer population and habitat are back in balance.” Sustained supplemental feeding is neither efficient nor beneficial to wildlife and often creates problems, he said. Feeding concentrates animals, making them more vulnerable to predators, poaching and disease such as hair slip, which is already a concern for deer in the region.

Waterfowl Last year’s waterfowl season was a real bummer, largely because the weather refused to cooperate during most of the hunt, and state waterfowl manager Don Kraege said the harvest was down about 20 percent even though there were plenty of birds in the area. This year, with a record 49 million ducks on the northern breed-

Most species look strong this year, Kraege said, with seasons and limits similar to 2013. Canvasbacks are an exception, and the limit this season has been cut from two birds to one. Snow geese are another exception. Kraege said Russian biologists on Wrangell Island, the birds’ main breeding ground, told him the hatch wasn’t promising and that there will be a low number of juvenile geese in the fall flight. On the bright side, mallards should be present in quantity. Many of our birds come from Alaska, and Kraege said the mallard hatch there was up 48 percent from last year. The local breeding population in our own state, which supplies hunting action until the northern migration arrives, was up 17 percent. Duck seasons opens Oct. 11, runs through Oct. 15, then opens again from Oct. 18 to Jan. 25. A special youth hunting weekend is scheduled for Sept. 20-21. Details on waterfowl hunting seasons will be available this week at http://wdfw.wa.gov/hunting/regulations. The paper pamphlet will be available at license dealers statewide about Aug. 22.

Goldilocks A surprising amount of interest popped up about the gold/sparkle hoochie dubbed “Goldilocks” by recreational salmon fishermen in the Sekiu area. A spokesman at Olson’s Resort said commercial trollers off the coast also reported using the unusual rubber squid this summer with some success. “Yeah, that hoochie has been around for probably 50 years, and it seems to resurface every time we get a

good king run off the coast and down the Strait,” said Kelly Morrison at Silver Horde in Lynnwood. So much for the idea that Goldilocks was new and innovative. “Another odd hoochie sold well to commercials this year, off both our coast and Oregon,” Morrison said. “It’s an oldie too, tan in color, that they call ‘buckskin.’ There must be some kind of small, brown baitfish or something around this year.”

Samish Chinook The Samish River opened for chinook on Aug. 1, but it’s still too early to expect any action, according to Kevin John at Holiday Sports in Burlington. “You start to see a fish or two by the third week of August, but really the river is a Labor Day show,” John said. On the other hand, jigging for kings over the river channel in Samish Bay heats up sooner. Anchor over the channel and jig with 1- or 2-ounce Point Wilson Darts, John said, from two hours before low slack to two hours after.

Local kings The selective chinook fishery in Marine Area 9 most likely will close with a whimper rather than a bang on Friday. The recreational quota probably will not be met, ending a season described as mediocre at best. Area 10, however, closed seven days early and provided at least fair fishing in the Jefferson Head area. Marine Areas 8-1 and 8-2 opened Aug. 1 for coho, but haven’t yet provided much of a fishery. “That will improve over the next week or two,” said charter owner Gary Krein of Everett. “Those silvers traditionally weigh 5 to 8 pounds on the average, but I heard of a nice 12-pounder taken at Point No Point last week.” For more outdoors news, visit Wayne Kruse’s blog at www.heraldnet. com/huntingandfishing.

Stewart crash probe seen turning on recklessness issue By Chris Dolmetsch Bloomberg News

NEW YORK — Any decision to charge three-time Sprint Cup Series champion Tony Stewart in the racetrack death of Kevin Ward Jr. is seen by defense lawyers as depending on whether prosecutors believe the incident could have been avoided. A finding by investigators that there was an act that was “extremely reckless,” such as veering close to Ward to scare him, might give rise to charges said Richard Harpootlian, a defense attorney and former prosecutor in Columbia, South Carolina. Investigators are still seeking witnesses and gathering evidence from the Aug. 9 incident at Canandaigua Motorsports Park in upstate New York, as well as developing a reconstruction of

the crash, Ontario County Sheriff Philip C. Povero said Tuesday in a statement. He declined to give details or findings of the probe, saying his office will conduct a “thorough review of all relevant facts” surrounding the crash and will meet with the Ontario County District Attorney’s Office to discuss all aspects of the investigation. No charges are currently pending against Stewart, and the probe may take at least two more weeks. Charges prosecutors can use in cases where intention is unclear include manslaughter, which doesn’t require premeditation, or negligent homicide, said Judd Burstein, a lawyer in New York who has handled criminal cases. Ward, 20, was killed when he was struck by Stewart’s car while he was walking on the track during a race at Canandaigua Motorsports Park, a dirt track located in

the Finger Lakes region about 40-minutes southeast of Rochester. “There aren’t words to describe the sadness I feel about the accident that took the life of Kevin Ward Jr.,” Stewart said in a statement. A spokesman for Stewart, didn’t immediately respond to attempts to elicit a comment on the probe. Stewart is the co-owner of the Stewart-Haas team, which also fields Sprint Cup cars for Danica Patrick, Kevin Harvick and Kurt Busch. Stewart’s sponsors also include Exxon Mobil, Chevrolet, Coca-Cola and Oakley, according to his website, and his annual earnings are estimated by Forbes at $12.5 million. “What he does for a living is drive,” Harpootlian said in a phone interview. “If someone is killed as a result of his driving, that raises huge questions. Because this is

what he does. He drives very fast in very close proximity to other cars and people. His livelihood depends on being able to do that without hitting anything. And yet he somehow hits this guy.” The incident occurred 14 laps into the 25-lap race, with Ward losing control of his winged sprint car and hitting the track’s outside retaining wall after the contact with Stewart’s car. The race was put into caution, slowing the participating cars. Ward, who was wearing a black helmet and firesuit, unbuckled himself, walked onto the dirt track and gestured at approaching cars, including Stewart’s, video images of the incident show. As two cars approached Ward, the first “swerved to avoid the driver out on the track,” according to the sheriff’s department, and the second car, driven by Stewart, struck Ward.

success has been the hitting of Tyler Durbin. Durbin, who also pitches for the All-Stars, was 10-for-15 (.667 average) in the regional tournament. Said coach Corsi: “Tyler Durbin has been absolutely phenomenal at the plate.” The utility player, who said he has “played pretty much every position” this season, hopes his streak continues in Williamsport. “When my team’s doing great, I just feel the same way,” Durbin said. “I’m excited I started to hit.” Pitcher Ian Michael also has been key for the All-Stars. Michael pitched a complete game in the second win against Oregon, striking out nine to help his team advance to Pennsylvania. “Everybody has contributed,” coach Corsi said. “We’ve been

on.” Heavy rain altered Pacific’s practices Tuesday and Wednesday. Corsi Jr. gave the team Monday off after it spent 19 hours traveling from San Bernardino to Williamsport — including a cross-country flight to New York and a 5½-hour bus ride. The team got its gear and did some media interviews on Monday and participated in the Grand Slam Parade Wednesday evening. “It’s like a dream come true,” Durbin said. “It’s like I’m in heaven. It’s wonderful. I don’t even know if it’s sunk in to half of our players that we’re playing in the Little League World Series, but we’re just trying to embrace it and have fun with it.” Coach Corsi said that he hopes to keep his players loose despite

all the extra attention. But even he has been caught up in the atmosphere. “I walked in to the field (Sunday) night at 11:30, or whatever time it was. The lights were on. Just the setting is phenomenal,” he said. “This is the epitome of Little League baseball. How do you not get nervous? It’s just another baseball game. Nothing changes. Once we get out there, we just go out and play baseball. Forget about everything else.” More than anything, Corsi Jr. and Pacific Little League president Doug Sheldon want the players to enjoy the experience. “We’re here to win our baseball games, but they’re 12- and 13-year old boys,” Sheldon said. “I just hope they enjoy the experience and go away saying, ‘Wow.

We’re one of eight teams in Little League in the U.S. to get to come here.’ What an honor. Winning is great, but it’s the team that got to come together and enjoy the whole overall experience that’s special. “This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that not a lot of kids get to experience. The rest of their life they’re going to say, ‘I got to play in the Little League World Series.’” Although, the players wouldn’t mind leaving Williamsport with a victory or two. “Win a game. That’s all I want,” Corsi III said. Said Durbin: “We’re riding a lot of momentum into this and if we get some momentum going down here I think we have a good chance of competing.”

Pennsylvania, even if it was nothing like the event Pacific Little League will be playing in beginning today. “It was a little different,” McClendon said. “Hell, we didn’t even know we were going to the World Series, we didn’t know what it was. Now it’s so publicized, and I’m not sure if it’s all for the best to be honest with you. But I’m sure those kids are

excited and happy to be going.” McClendon’s advice to the kids from Pacific Little League — well, other than to not freak out if a former star player approaches — is simple. “Have fun,” he said. “Just enjoy it.” Another former Little League World Series star passed through Safeco Field this week with Blue Jays outfielder Colby Rasmus in town to face the Mariners.

Rasmus, whose Phenix City, Alabama, team lost in the championship game of the 1999 Little League World Series, remembers the games less than he does the good times. “Just the fun that it was to be around all the other players from around the world,” he said. “We played ping pong and video games with them. There was like a little village they set up, and to be around

all the other teams was cool. The whole experience was a blast.” Rasmus, like McClendon, says the key to success is to enjoy the ride. “Just let it all hang out,” he said. “Play as hard as you can for your city and hope for the best. It’s just a really cool time, something you worked really hard for.” Herald Writer John Boyle: jboyle@heraldnet.com.

M’s Paxton ‘has greatness written all over him’

BALTIMORE — Major League Baseball commissioner Bud Selig is looking forward to writing a book, teaching history and taking it easy when he retires this winter. Before that happens, however, he hopes to introduce his successor — perhaps as soon as Thursday. Baseball’s 30 owners meet in Baltimore this week to vote on Selig’s replacement. A seven-man committee whittled down an expansive list to

three candidates: MLB Chief Operating Officer Rob Manfred, Boston Red Sox Chairman Tom Werner and MLB Executive Vice President of Business Tim Brosnan. “The process has worked just the way I thought it would,” Selig said Tuesday at the Orioles’ home ballpark. “I gave them a great list of names, and these names were on it.” To win Thursday’s vote, a candidate must receive approval from at least 23 owners. “A lot of other people are making predictions,” Selig said. “I’m staying out of that business

because I don’t know.” Asked what would happen if there is an impasse, Selig replied, “This seven-man committee has done really good work. We’ll see what happens.” This is what won’t happen: Selig changing his mind and sticking around. “I thought long and hard before I made my announcement in October of last year,” he said of the announcement, actually made Sept. 26. “I just celebrated my 80th birthday. In life, there’s a time to come but there’s also a time to go. I’m looking forward to that. I have a

lot of things planned.” Those plans include writing an autobiography, teaching at two or three universities and “maybe a little peace and quiet.” “It’s time for baseball to move on and it’s time for me to move on,” he said. “If anybody would have told me back in September of 1992 I’d be here 22½, 23 years, that would have not been conceivable. So, I’m done.” As far as Thursday’s vote goes, Selig has only one priority. “The only goal I’ve really had all along is, when it’s all over that people can say, ‘Well, it was really fair,”’ Selig said.

AQUASOX | Update

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

SEATTLE — Seattle manager Lloyd McClendon rarely gushes on any topic, but he makes an exception in assessing the ceiling for left-hander James Paxton, who will start Friday when the Mariners open a three-game weekend series at Detroit. “He can get it to 99 (mph),” McClendon said, “and it’s effortless. He’s 6-7 with that (Clayton) Kershaw over-the-top (delivery). You just don’t see it. It’s a different angle, and it’s very difficult on hitters. “I think this kid has greatness written all over him. He just needs to stay healthy.” OK ... Paxton is 6-foot-4 but looks taller with his vertical, over-thetop delivery. He can push his fastball into the upper-90s. The Dodgers’ Kershaw is chasing a third Cy Young in four years, but Paxton is 5-0 with a 1.93 ERA in eight career starts. “If you look at our rotation throughout the year,” McClendon said, “our five-hole has not been very successful. It’s been patchwork. This guy can patch it, and it doesn’t come loose.” Paxton missed nearly four months because of a strained back muscle before returning Aug. 2 at Baltimore.

Home cooking Veteran right-hander Chris Young is a pop-up/fly-ball pitcher but tends to deflect the impact of a stadium’s dimensions in assessing his effectiveness. “Regardless of where I am,” he said, “I try to make good pitches. I’ve had good games in hitters’ parks, and I’ve had bad games in pitchers’ parks. It’s about going out and making good pitches. “It’s not the ballpark that makes the player. It’s the way the player performs.”

Plans for Saunders Outfielder Michael Saunders is expected to resume his rehab assignment Thursday at Triple-A Tacoma after missing two games to be present for the birth of his second child. Saunders, 27, is recovering from a strained left oblique suffered July 10 on a swing in a 4-2 loss to Minnesota at Safeco Field. He is 6-for-17 in five games at Tacoma, which is currently playing in New Orleans. McClendon said Saunders isn’t ready to return to active duty. “He’s got to go get some at-bats,” McClendon said. “Michael and I have had that conversation. He texted me the other day and said, ‘I’m ready.’ I said, ‘Good. Keep playing.’”

Going into Wednesday’s game, the Mariners’ Dustin Ackley is batting .321 in 35 games since July 1.

Ackley has found his groove By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

SEATTLE — Even Seattle Mariners left fielder Dustin Ackley admits the swing that produced a key two-run single in Tuesday’s 6-3 victory over Toronto is one he was unlikely to execute earlier in the season. “He gave me a fastball away that I was able to handle,” he said. “I dropped it right in the outfield. Earlier in the year, I might foul that pitch off. I might roll over that pitch. Now, I’m staying on it.”

M’s From page C1

Aug. 3 at Baltimore when he gave up a home run in the first inning. Iwakuma survived a firstinning threat when Jose Bautista reached on a two-out infield single and went to second on Brad Miller’s throwing error from shortstop. Miller rebounded by showing nice range to field Adam Lind’s ground ball and turn it into the final out.

The Mariners, leading 2-1 at the time, had runners on second and third with two outs in the fifth inning when Ackley served a 2-1 fastball from Blue Jays lefty J.A. Happ into left field. It was a prime example of a resurgent Ackley, who is batting .321 in 35 games since July 1. He has a .341 on-base percentage and a .489 slugging percentage in that span, which boosts his overall slash to .251/.296/.385. “He hasn’t made any drastic changes,” manager Lloyd McClendon said. “He’s just

found his groove, and he’s feeling good about what he’s doing. “Hitting is a funny thing. Confidence has everything to do with being a good hitter. Right now, he’s about as confident as anybody we have. I think he’s finally starting to turn the corner. “The last thing to come for a lot of young players is to realize you’re a major-league player. That you’ve arrived, and it’s OK to be good. I think he’s comfortable in his skin. I think he’s comfortable in what he’s doing.”

Austin Jackson opened the Mariners’ first inning with a single through the left side. Dickey retired the next two hitters before Morales skied a 1-2 knuckler into the right-field seats for a 2-0 Seattle lead. Iwakuma worked around Reyes’ two-out double in the third inning by deflecting a Melky Cabrera grounder to Robinson Cano, who threw to first for the out. The Mariners missed a firstand-third chance in the third inning, after a Morales single, when Kyle Seager squirted a knuckler softly to second for a

double play. Iwakuma escaped another jam in the fourth inning when singles by Lind and Colby Rasmus, and a two-out wild pitch, put runners at second and third. Catcher Mike Zunino ended the inning by holding a foul tip by Kawasaki on a 3-2 fastball. Dickey yielded two-out singles in the fifth inning to Dustin Ackley and Cano. After a passed ball moved Cano to second base, an intentional walk to Morales loaded the bases. But Seager grounded to first base. The score remained 2-0.

Rockies’ Tulowitzki to have season-ending hip surgery Associated Press SAN DIEGO — All-Star shortstop Troy Tulowitzki will have surgery on his left hip Friday in Vail, Colorado, and miss the rest of the season, the Colorado Rockies said Wednesday.

Tulowitzki, whose .340 batting average remains tops in the big leagues, has a torn labrum in his hip, the team said after a 5-3 loss to the San Diego Padres. He was placed on the 15-day disabled list on July 22, three

days after he was hurt running out a grounder at Pittsburgh. While it was Tulowitzki’s first trip to the DL this season, he had taken days off to rest his chronically tight legs. The leg issues date to 2008 when he tore the left quadriceps tendon.

Tigers snap 4-game losing streak, rally to beat Pirates Associated Press DETROIT — Nick Castellanos homered and tripled, and the Detroit Tigers rallied for an 8-4 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday night, snapping a four-game losing streak. The Tigers, who are suddenly facing adversity amid

mounting injuries, rallied from a 4-1 deficit on a night when they had to send Buck Farmer to the mound to make his major league debut. Farmer allowed four runs in five innings, and Blaine Hardy (2-1) followed with two scoreless innings of relief. Castellanos put Detroit ahead 5-4 with a solo homer off

Vance Worley (5-2) in the sixth. Victor Martinez added a tworun single in the seventh. The Tigers returned home after going 2-7 on a road trip against the New York Yankees, Toronto and Pittsburgh. A 19-inning loss to the Blue Jays stretched the pitching staff thin, and Anibal Sanchez and Justin Verlander are nursing injuries.

VANCOUVER, B.C. — The Everett AquaSox and Vancouver Canadians were tied 5-5 through 12 innings of their Northwest League game Wednesday night when The Herald went to press. Everett seemed to have the game well in hand after scoring four runs in the top of the seventh to take a 5-1 lead. However, Vancouver scored once in the eighth to get within three, then it all went wrong for the Sox in the ninth. It began when Brenden Kalfus blooped a leadoff single to left-center. One out later Franklin Barreto grounded an RBI double down the left-field line, then Chris Carlson ripped an RBI double over the head of Austin Cousino in center to get the Canadians within one. Gunnar Heidt then tied it by grounding and RBI single to right, making it 5-5 and sending the game to extra innings. For six innings the game saw all kinds of baserunners, but few runs as the teams went a combined 1-for-14 with runners in scoring position, leaving the game tied 1-1. But the Sox clutched up in the top of the seventh. Everett received a little help at first when Kalfus in center lost Isiah Yates’ fly ball in the lights. Cousino raced home from second, and on a close play at the plate Cousino was called safe. Vancouver manager John Schneider was incensed by the ball, and was ejected while arguing. Corey Simpson followed by lining a two-run single down the left-field line, and he later scored on a wild pitch as the Sox took a 5-1 lead. But that lead didn’t hold. Everett pitcher Leoncio Munoz was forced into a spot start in place of Luiz Gohara, who didn’t make the trip with the team because of visa issues. Munoz, who was used exclusively in relief previously, went four innings, giving up one run. Vancouver received a strong start from Chase Mallard. Mallard tossed five scoreless innings, allowing five hits, walking none and striking out six.

Sounders beat Fire 6-0 in U.S. Open Cup semifinal By Mark Moschetti Associated Press

TUKWILA — Struggling for playing time and scoring, Andy Rose showed he can deliver now that he’s healthy again. Rose and Kenny Cooper each scored two goals and the Seattle Sounders routed the Chicago Fire 6-0 in their U.S. Open Cup semifinal Wednesday night. Major League Soccerleading Seattle will face the Philadelphia Union on Sept. 16 in the final in Chester, Pennsylvania. Philadelphia advanced on the road Tuesday night, beating FC Dallas on penalty kicks. Seattle reached the final for the fifth time since joining MLS in 2009. The Sounders won three straight Open Cups from 2009-11, and lost at Kansas City on penalty kicks in 2012. “It’s something that we take seriously,” Sounders coach Sigi Schmid said of the annual tournament. “We won our first Open Cup on the road in D.C. We’ll be ready for it. This is what we want to do: If you enter it, try to win it.” Chad Barrett opened the scoring in the sixth minute, and Rose made it 2-0 in the 33rd when he headed Marco Pappa’s corner kick high into the upper left corner past goalkeeper Sean Johnson. Near the end of the 58th minute, Rose made it 3-0 when he headed in

a target ball from Pappa. Rose has played just five MLS games totaling 101 minutes this season. He had knee surgery in June and has also dealt with a hamstring injury. “It’s nice to come back and contribute to a big win,” Rose said. “In training, I’ve felt great, and felt really good the last two or three weeks. I knew if I kept doing that, the chance would come. To take advantage of it was great.” The Sounders added three goals in a 41⁄2-minute span, with Obafemi Martins connecting in the 79th, and Cooper in the 82nd and 84th. Cooper also assisted on the goals by Barrett and Martins. “Sometimes, when it rains, it pours,” Schmid said of the scoring outburst. “Getting the early goal got us off to a really good start. I thought bringing in some guys with fresh legs — Cooper, Barrett, and Andy Rose — and having some fresh centerbacks really helped us at the end of the day. We were a little quicker and a little sharper, which is what we needed to achieve.” Seattle got a full 90 minutes from defender DeAndre Yedlin, whose transfer to Tottenham Hotspur of the English Premier League was finalized earlier Wednesday. Yedlin will remain with the Sounders through the end of the regular season and playoffs.

Sounders complete transfer of Yedlin to EPL’s Tottenham By Don Ruiz The News Tribune

The Seattle Sounders have completed a deal that will transfer homegrown All-Star right back DeAndre Yedlin to Tottenham Hotspur of the English Premier League. All three parties on Wednesday reacted positively to the agreement, which will keep Yedlin in a Sounders uniform at least until the end of this Major League Soccer season. “We thought it was ultimately a good decision for our club, although a difficult one,” Seattle general manager Adrian Hanauer said. “... Every club in the world sells players. It’s just a matter of weighing the benefits and the drawbacks, and we decided that this was a good decision for us. And by the way, DeAndre clearly wanted this transaction to occur as well.” Hanauer said the deal benefits Seattle now by keeping Yedlin around for regular season and playoffs. Over the longer term, he said the club will benefit through allocation money. “It provides us with some cash to reinvest in any aspect of our soccer business that we want,” Hanauer said, “whether that is on the youth side that hopefully allows us to develop two or three or four more DeAndre Yedlins, or designated players, or soccer facilities or infrastructure that hopefully will position us for strength going forward.” Yedlin, 21, is a Seattle native who played with the Sounders FC Academy, Sounders U-23 and the University of Akron before signing with the

MLS Sounders. He made the All-Star team in both of his pro seasons. This year, he debuted with the U.S. national team and played in three World Cup matches. Transfer offers started coming in immediately after the World Cup, Hanauer said. He added that a friendly match played last month against Tottenham helped forge the relationship that resulted in the transfer deal completed Wednesday. “From my family to youth coaches to the Sounders, I am lucky to have such a strong support system,” Yedlin said through a Sounders press release. “I’m excited to have the opportunity to play with Spurs in the English Premier League, and I look forward to helping the Sounders win a championship this season.” Once this MLS season ends, Tottenham could bring Yedlin over to join them during their ongoing EPL season; or Spurs could allow Yedlin to remain with the Sounders until the start of the 2015-16 EPL season next summer. “Tottenham is a phenomenal club with phenomenal fans and a great opportunity,” said Kasey Keller, who like Yedlin is a Puget Sound native who played for the U.S. national team, Tottenham and the Sounders. “But with any big club — it doesn’t matter where you go — you understand that there’s a high level of competition for you to earn your spots, and I have complete confidence that Yedlin has the ability to have a long career wherever.”

Baldwin From page C1

The good thing for Baldwin is that he’ll get every chance to prove he is more than a slot receiver in 2014. With Golden Tate leaving in free agency, Baldwin is now Seattle’s starting split end. Sure, he’ll still line up in the slot plenty often, especially in three and four-receiver sets, but this year Baldwin will be on the field more often, likely be a target more frequently, and have more chances to prove himself in one-on-one matchups with opponents’ top cornerbacks. “I’ll get a lot more passes thrown my way, that’s not a problem,” he said with a grin. “That’s different, and obviously I enjoy that. But I’ll still go into the slot at times. I like both positions.” While Baldwin is confident at both positions, he explains that there are notable differences between the two. “Being outside is different because the releases have to be different,” he said. “In the slot you have a three-way go — you can go inside, outside or just go off the ball. On the outside you’re designated to one side of the field, so a lot of the times teams will use that leverage to their advantage. So

Associated Press BELLEVUE — Police have cleared Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch in an assault and property damage case. The Bellevue Police Department issued a statement late Wednesday night saying Lynch wasn’t involved and that the case remained open. The police department expressed appreciation for cooperation from Lynch and the Seahawks. Police initially released a statement Monday mentioning Lynch. The Seahawks released a statement a day later saying they believed the accusations to be “bogus” after speaking with Lynch.

you have to be more creative with your releases, you have to be a little stronger with your releases, so I’m incorporating that into my game. “I’ve been watching a lot of film of Steve Smith, Anquan Boldin, Larry Fitzgerald, trying to change my game back to being outside. It’s a mentality.” Baldwin admits playing in the slot in some ways comes more naturally to him — it appeals to the basketball player in him, he says. But if moving back to an outside position is requiring an adjustment period, it certainly hasn’t been showing in training camp. While Harvin has the “wow” factor and Seattle’s two rookies, Paul Richardson and Kevin Norwood have turned heads, Baldwin has by far been the most consistent playmaker throughout camp. And sure he still makes the tough, chain-moving catches over the middle, but Baldwin’s move outside also has allowed him to show off some underrated speed and strong route-running ability to make plays on deep balls. “I think Doug Baldwin is going to really shine this year,” quarterback Russell Wilson said. “He’s doing a tremendous job of catching the ball. He did a great job last year and he’s just improving.” And Wilson notes, the

Marsh to have MRI on knee Seahawks coach Pete Carroll singled out Cassius Marsh as one of the bright spots in last week’s preseason opener. Now the availability of the rookie defensive end is in question for this week’s game following an injury suffered in Wednesday’s practice. Marsh got tangled up in the pile with offensive linemen on a run drill. Marsh limped off the field, then eventually into the locker room. Carroll was not available to the media Wednesday, so no update was available other than that Marsh has a knee injury and will have an MRI done to check the severity of the injury. Carroll is expected to speak to the media Thursday and should have some sort of update on Marsh then. Herald Writer John Boyle: jboyle@ heraldnet.com.

Woods pulls out of Ryder Cup consideration Tiger Woods removed himself from consideration for the Ryder Cup team Wednesday evening with a clear message that he is not healthy enough to play. One day after U.S. captain Tom Watson said he trusted Woods to give him the “straight skinny” on the condition of his back injury and his game, Woods said he called the 64-year-old captain to say he would not be available. The decision spares Watson from having to leave Woods off the team,

relationship between the two of them is still growing. Baldwin missed much of 2012 training camp and battled injuries for much of that year, so he and the then-rookie quarterback never really got on the same page. They started forming chemistry last season, and with a full season and another training camp together, things should only improve in 2014. “He’s just really improving, and that’s the thing about Doug, he’s going to out-work pretty much anybody, that’s his mindset,” Wilson said. “That rubs off to the other receivers … Doug Baldwin is definitely leading the way on that.”

and it eliminates a distraction over the next three weeks before Watson announces his three captain’s picks for the Sept. 26-28 matches against Europe at Gleneagles. “I have already spoken to Tom about the Ryder Cup, and while I greatly appreciate his thinking about me for a possible captain’s pick, I took myself out of consideration,” Woods said in a statement on his website. “The U.S. team and the Ryder Cup mean too much to me not to be able to give it my best.”

Huskies’ Ross looking for more By Christian Caple The News Tribune

SEATTLE — The legend of John Ross was born early. He was a four-star prospect out of Long Beach (California) Jordan High School, a 5-foot-11, 173-pound blur whose nextlevel speed helped earn him scholarship offers from UCLA and Oregon, among others. Steve Sarkisian, Washington’s former coach, went so far last August — before Ross had ever put on a uniform — as to say Ross was the fastest player he’d coached since Reggie Bush, the former USC Heisman Trophy winner Ross describes as “my idol,” the guy whose name will forever be synonymous with the Trojans’ dominance of the mid-2000s. There were flashes of that ability during Ross’ freshman year, in which he caught 16 passes for 208 yards and a touchdown in somewhat limited action at receiver. That touchdown was a 57-yard catch-and-run from quarterback Cyler Miles during a blowout of Idaho State. Then, the kickoff return, a 100-yard venture through Brigham Young’s coverage team that sparked the Huskies’ victory in the Fight Hunger Bowl last December. Oh, and the 4.29-second, hand-timed 40-yard dash he ran during the Husky Combine in May. New coach Chris Petersen said he doesn’t put all that much emphasis on 40-times, if only because hand timing leads to inherent inaccuracies. But of Ross, he knows this: “That guy’s one of the most explosive athletes I’ve ever been around. No doubt. He is a different level of explosiveness.” Of that 40-time — which, if accurate, would have been second-best among participants at this year’s NFL scouting combine — Ross says: “I still feel like I can do better, honestly.” That’s the mentality with which Ross seems to be approaching nearly every facet of his sophomore season — that

his freshman year wasn’t as good as it could have been, that he can run not only faster, but with more efficiency and with better technique. “Expanding my knowledge, because I came in not knowing too much,” Ross said after Wednesday’s practice. “I was eager to learn, but it’s not easy going from one paper to a whole playbook, from hand signals to 100 different hand signals. Just things like that.” Sarkisian bemoaned last season that he didn’t make enough of an effort to get the ball in Ross’ hands, evidenced by his 16 receptions in 13 games. New offensive coordinator Jonathan Smith said he understands why the Huskies struggled to find Ross. For one, Bishop Sankey was one of the best running backs in the country, and his 327 rushing attempts were both necessary and deserved. Star tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins needed touches, too. “He’s just going to hopefully see more balls than he did last year,” Smith said. “You look at last year’s team, obviously I wasn’t here for it, but there’s some talent around him. You’ve got to get the ball to the back and the tight end. Those guys are out the door, and hopefully we can get him the ball some more.” Ross’ speed has earned him a spot in what he, junior Jaydon Mickens and junior Marvin Hall refer to as the “Legion of Zoom,” a play on the Seattle Seahawks’ “Legion of Boom” nickname assigned to their hard-hitting defensive backs. Jokes aside, Ross could be one of UW’s most valuable offensive players this season. He also played some defensive back in 2013 and worked there some in the spring, but has yet to put in any time with the defense during fall camp. Instead, he’s honing his technique, working on catching the ball better, and trying to further polish the kickoff return skills that made it hell for high-school defenses — and BYU’s, too — to chase him around.

Clearview couple to show off their blooms at annual dahlia show in Everett this weekend By Gale Fiege

Snohomish County Dahlia Show

Herald Writer

The Clearview Daniel, grown by Richard and Danielle Parshall, was a prize-winner at a dahlia show in England last year.

These retired high school teachers can’t help themselves. Richard and Danielle Parshall of Clearview used to grow asparagus and raspberries. Not anymore. At least a half-acre of their property is devoted solely to dahlias, many of which they hybridized. All dahlias are hybrids of tubers that produce daisy-shaped blooms in the mountains of Mexico. The kaleidoscopic range in color, shape and size of modern dahlias is addicting to some gardeners. The Parshalls and other members of the Snohomish County Dahlia Society plan to show off nearly 2,000 blooms at the group’s dahlia show and

The show is free; 1 to 6 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Sunday; Floral Hall at Forest Park, 802 E. Mukilteo Blvd., Everett. More information at www.scdahlias.org. competition Saturday and Sunday at Everett’s Forest Park. The society is 105 years old and the group’s show is the longest continuously running dahlia show in North America. It’s also one of the top dahlia competitions in the region. The Snohomish County Dahlia Society began as a garden club for

the wealthy women of Everett. Now it’s a group of men and women who represent a cross-section of the county. What these growers share is a creative and competitive nature. Richard Parshall, a former basketball coach at Lynnwood High School, said growing dahlias has been a labor of love for nearly 30 years, but serious participation in competition began in about 1994. “Oh, yeah,” he said. “It’s competitive and it’s a lot of work.” At first growing dahlias was just part of the fun of having a big garden, said Danielle Parshall, who taught math at Mountlake Terrace High School. “Then we went to a dahlia show in Lake Forest Park. Big mistake,” See DAHLIAS, Page D3

Homemade game boards more than just decorations

ot all game boards are for checkers or chess. Our ancestors played parcheesi, backgammon and cribbage on boards that could be made at home. From about 1850 to 1920, homemade game boards were created by talented folk artists. Elaborate designs that included the required spaces and lines for the game were carefully drawn and colored. Many game boards were two-sided, most with a checkerboard on one side and a Parcheesi or Backgammon board on the other. The majority of the boards were made of wood, although some were painted on leftover sheets of metal. When the 1950s “Early American” look and the 1960s “American Country”

look were at the height of their popularity, game boards sold quickly to be used as wall hangings. The decorating magazines featured groups of boards hanging in a hall or over a sofa, and prices went up. A board in excellent condition with original paint can sell today for hundreds to thousands of dollars. An unusual metal game board for parcheesi and checkers sold at a Cowan auction in April 2014 for $3,900. Q: I bought a used wrought-iron dining set in the late ’60s or early ’70s.

business in Owosso, Mich., in 1866. They began making furniture in 1868. Various members of the family operated the business until 1969, when it was sold. The company is still in business and makes wrought-iron, aluminum and wicker furniture for casual and outdoor use. Sometimes furniture can be dated by the trademark, style or material. Woodard began making wroughtiron furniture in the 1930s. Furniture made before 1942 sometimes has brass or copper decoration. Woodard furniture made before the 1970s is labeled with a metal plate. Furniture made after that time was labeled with a sticker. If your set was made by Woodard and doesn’t have a metal label, it was made in the 1970s.

A: Railroad memorabilia is known by collectors as “railroadiana.” Some collectors specialize in collecting items from a favored railroad, while others specialize in railroad china, badges, lanterns, locks and keys, timetables or other items. The Railroad Collectors Association website, RailroadCollectors.org, lists railroad hobby shows. If you go to one in your area, you will find collectors and dealers there interested in buying memorabilia. Q: Back in the 1960s, I was shopping at a Buffalo, N.Y., See KOVEL, Page D3

Builders tempt pet lovers with posh suites By Sue Manning Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — These homes are set apart by their amenities — for dogs. Standard Pacific Homes is building and selling homes in 27 developments from Florida to California and is believed to be the first to offer a pet suite as an option in every one. The most lavish suite is a 170-square-foot pet paradise with a step-in wash station, handheld sprayer and leash lead; tile walls and floors; a designated drying area with a commercial sized pet dryer; a water station; automated feeders; a large bunk-style bed; cabinets for toys, treats and food; a stackable washer and dryer; a French door that opens to a puppy run; and a flat-screen television set. Standard Pacific decided to offer pet suites after conducting livability studies with homeowners. Pets were a constant theme, said Jeffrey Lake, vice president and national director of architecture for Standard Pacific. “Devotion to pets is secondto-none,” he added. “They are family.” The American Pet Products

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Some builders are offering lavish facilities for pets, including — not surprisingly — dedicated cleaning stations.

Association reports that 68 percent of Americans own pets and contribute to an industry worth more than $55 billion annually. Real estate officials say building homes designed to cater to pets is a new concept, but that remodels for pet owners have been available for some time.

Adam Cowherd Construction in Ozark, Missouri, installs pet-friendly additions to homes. Cowherd said he recently finished a job where there was an open shelf on the end of a kitchen island to hold pet bowls. “Owners want it uniquely functional, very contemporary and something that catches the eye,” Cowherd said. However, only once in the last 10 years has he been asked to build a whole room for a pet, he added. Melanie Dean lives with her family near Dallas in a Standard Pacific home with a pet package for their dog, Lola. Lola’s room “makes life much easier,” Dean said. “We don’t have to use the kitchen sink to wash yucky stuff anymore.” Standard Pacific Homes’ newest community, called Avignon at Blackstone in Brea, about 25 miles south of Los Angeles, features homes that start at $710,000. The pet spa option adds $35,000 to the price, Lake said. Only the largest suite is available in Brea, but in some of the other communities, there are smaller sizes and prices, starting at 60 square

feet for $8,000, he said. During some of the model grand openings at different communities, several potential buyers brought their dogs to look at the homes, said Danielle Tocco, the company’s director of communications. Around 70 percent of those looking for a home have pets, said Mollie Carmichael, principal at the John Burns Real Estate Consulting firm in Irvine. Pet adoptions were also held at some model grand openings, Tocco said, just in case somebody didn’t have a dog but wanted one. For cat owners, things can be rearranged and swapped out, like a scratching post for the dryer. And if no one is using the bath, it can be used for sporting equipment, like golf clubs. Those looking to sell their homes may find their pet additions to be a benefit. Laundry rooms and mud rooms toward the back of homes are popular, said Amy Bohutinsky, chief marketing officer at Seattle-based Zillow. Pet washrooms can also be used as multipurpose mud rooms, which may attract buyers.

Renovating your kitchen during the summer has its advantages: you can prepare meals outdoors on the barbecue and use the backyard as a dining area.

T Dahlias: Growers are competitive From Page D1

Danielle said. “Here we were scribbling down all the names of the blooms. It was the beginning of the end.” Richard likens dahlia competition to dog shows. At the Everett show, all the different types of dahlias will be judged against each other and one bloom from each group will be picked to enter best of show. The Parshalls compete in about seven shows each summer and often serve as judges at others. They plan to submit about 30 stems for judging on Saturday. Among them will be some of the 32 dahlias they have introduced from their own cross-breeding work. The couple now sells their hybrid tubers to other dahlia collectors and growers at www.clearviewdahlias. com. Two of their dahlias are named for their sons. Look for Clearview David and especially Clearview Daniel, which is yellow ball of delicate petals that looks as if it can’t possibly be created by nature. Clearview Daniel was a notable prize-winner at a dahlia show in England last year. The delicate nature of dahlias requires a mild growing climate. They like sun, but not heat. The most successful growers in the world are in Great Britain and the Pacific Northwest, Richard said. About 15 societies are active between Portland and Vancouver, British Columbia. The Northwest societies are hosting this year’s American Dahlia Society National Show during Labor Day weekend in Tacoma. The Parshalls plan to host a tour of their dahlia gardens during the national show. Of all the thousands of registered dahlias in the world, none of them are blue. It may be genetically impossible, Richard said. Still, a few of the amazing, gigantic red and purple dahlias grown by the Parshalls seem to carry a hint of blue. Earlier this week they were

here are many topics more exciting than homeowners insurance, I’ll grant you that. But since your house is likely to be your biggest asset, it’s wise to periodically examine coverage, to ensure that you’re adequately covered against damage and liability. This is especially important if you’re planning a major project, such as remodeling, rebuilding or building new. Anytime you hire a contractor to work on your home or property, take time to verify that they and any subcontractors are appropriately insured, as well as licensed and bonded. While it’s a good idea to ask for a contractor’s certificates of insurance, an even better practice — because certificates can be faked or altered — is to contact the insurers to confirm coverage. Some experts recommend that contractors carry at least $1 million in coverage for each insurance type. Meanwhile, highly rated insurance providers tell us that you should consider an extra step: Get yourself named as an “additional insured” on the contractor’s general liability policy. This ensures you’re fully covered against liability for damage that can occur during your project, such as workers breaking a water line that causes a neighbor’s property to flood. Getting yourself added to the policy may cost you little or nothing. Also, it means the insurer will alert you if the contractor’s policy lapses. It’s important to realize that some home improvements can affect your homeowners insurance premium or coverage. For example, a major kitchen remodel could mean that your home would cost

Caring for dahlias IN SUMMER ■ Remove old or spent flowers. ■ Water deeply every four or five days during the summer heat. ■ As the blooms develop, fertilize with a low or no nitrogen fertilizer, such as one labeled 0-20-20, to encourage flower and tuber development. ■ Control for slugs, snails and other pests. ■ Remove two side buds at each budding tip to encourage better blooms. DIGGING DAHLIAS IN THE FALL ■ Enjoy the flowers until the first frost kills the foliage. ■ If you have good drainage, leave the tubers in the ground, cut off any dead foliage, and cover with 3 to 4 inches of mulch. Clumps should be divided every third year for bigger, better flowers and stronger stems. ■ If you choose to dig the tubers, cut off the stalks to 3 or 4 inches above the ground and leave in the ground for a week or two to allow eyes to set before digging. Begin cutting down and digging by November even if no killing frost has taken place. ■ Dig around each tuber clump with a shovel or garden fork and lift gently. Hose off the dirt from the tuber, clip off the feeder roots with garden scissors and let dry overnight. DIVIDING AND STORING ■ Divide clumps in half by splitting with pruning shears. ■ Cut off tubers using hand pruners, garden scissors and a sharp knife. Wear protective gloves. Each tuber should have an eye you can see. The tuber eyes are located at the swell of the crown near the stem. ■ Soak tubers in a solution of 1 cup of bleach and 3 gallons of water for 15 or 20 minutes to kill bacteria. Allow tubers to dry several days on newspaper in a cool, dark place. ■ Label the tubers before storing with a permanent marker or no-blot pencil. ■ Store cut tubers in plastic bags with a few handfuls of vermiculite, wood shavings or potting soil. Another method is rolling tubers in a long strip of plastic wrap, making sure each tuber isn’t touching the others. ■ Keep tubers in a dark, cool place that does not freeze, such as the crawl space under your house.

through his things after my mother died, we found the whale’s teeth. They’re tanner than we remember and were never polished, but they’re in excellent condition. Each is about 5½ inches long. What are they worth? A: The sale of sperm whale’s teeth, raw or scrimshawed, has been restricted since 1972. It’s considered a type of ivory. You can sell it in your own state if your state allows the sale and if you provide a notarized statement saying the teeth have been in this country and in your possession since 1972. A

closely matched pair of unworked and unpolished whale’s teeth can sell for $200 to $400. Q: I have a remotecontrol toy bus in good condition and with the original box. The top of the box reads “Radicon bus, radio remote control bus” and “The first and only complete radio remote control toy.” It was made by Modern Toys of Japan. How much is it worth? A: The Radicon bus was made in the 1950s by Masudaya, a company founded in Tokyo in about 1923. “Modern Toys” is a tradename used

by Masudaya. A Radicon bus with original box and instructions sold for $270 in 2013.

more to replace in case of disaster. Many policies include a replacement cost endorsement that guarantees sufficient coverage to rebuild your home. It’s a good idea to periodically review your homeowners coverage, to be sure you have replacement coverage and that the amount is in line with current costs. Another renovation-related insurance consideration arises if you transform an unused room into a home office. Standard policies rarely extend coverage for accidents, theft or other hazards that can happen on property used for business. If this is a concern, talk to your insurance company about extending coverage or buying a separate policy. It’s important to inform your agent or insurer when you make significant changes to your home. Building a pool, for example, is likely to raise your insurance rates because it probably will increase your liability risk as well as your home’s replacement cost. However, some upgrades might reduce premiums. This can happen if you improve an older home’s wiring, roofing or plumbing. The typical homeowners insurance policy is not sufficient to cover risks associated with building or rebuilding a home. Toprated insurance experts recommend that you take out a builder’s risk policy to insure your property and on-site building materials during construction. For instance, if half of your house was destroyed, a typical homeowner policy will cover the intact half and a builder’s risk policy would cover what’s being rebuilt.

Boyfriend doesn’t make her swoon

DAILY CROSSWORD

Adapted from a recent online discussion. Dear Carolyn: I am female, unmarried, and in my late 30s (I know, kiss of death). From the ages of 32-36, I was never once asked on a date, presumably because I am overweight and not conventionally attractive. I joined an online dating site last year and have started having more luck. The man I am seeing currently seems to be interested in a relationship, which ultimately is what I am looking for. As far as having feelings for him, I am at about a 65 percent, which sounds somewhat low, I know. He is very kind and we share interests — that’s about it. I don’t find him stunningly attractive, but I enjoy his companionship and can feel my fondness for him growing. Is this enough? I have talked this over extensively with a few friends, who say I’m settling. Do I stay in a relationship with this person knowing he doesn’t (and may never) make me swoon, or do I go back to my single, lonely life? — Better Than Being Alone? “He is very kind and we share interests — that’s about it.” You say that as if it’s faint praise, but many a lifetime friendship is built on that very combination. It’s one I’ve sought since reaching adulthood: in a partner when I was

CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT single and in friends always. The amount of time you’ve known each other has some bearing on whether it’s a good idea to keep hoping for sparks, but in general I believe that when your appreciation for someone is growing vs. diminishing, the time with that person is worthwhile. Why dwell on the details if you don’t have to? If your affection stalls at “pleasant but meh,” then settling becomes a risk. I feel I have to say something on your opening parenthetical. Since when is that age and status the “kiss of death”? A good life is a good life in any form and at any time.

Re: Settling: Are you settling? That depends; are you giving up something just to avoid being alone? If you are sacrificing something that would otherwise be important in a relationship just for companionship, then it’s probably a bad idea. — Anonymous .. but if you’re sacrificing a rigid and outdated idea of what a relationship is supposed to be like, then trust yourself and see where your interest in this person takes you. Thanks for the nudge. Re: Settling: If you aren’t 100 percent attracted physically to a person but you do think this person is very kind and you share important beliefs, is that enough? Do you have to want to “jump someone’s bones” at the beginning for it to work? What if you don’t care that much about sex? Or, maybe you care about sex but can do without? — Anonymous 2 Those questions are entire loamy fields for rationalizations to take root, but, OK.

Alcohol-hating wife pressured to drink Dear Abby: I’m not much of a drinker. I have nothing against drinking or those who do. I just do not like the taste of alcohol. Worse, I have a very low tolerance for it. After only half a glass of wine, I become so sleepy I can barely keep my eyes open. It makes me feel physically awful. My husband takes offense to the fact that I don’t want to drink. When we’re out with friends, he’ll have three or four beers and pressure me to the point of embarrassment in front of them until I finally give in and order a glass of wine. Of course, I then spend the rest of the evening feeling terrible. When we get home, he’ll want to be intimate, but I just want to go to sleep, which aggravates him further. I have tried for several years to discuss this with him, but he can’t explain why he does this. What can I do? — Just Water, Please Dear Just Water: Your husband is a drinker. He may be self-conscious about the amount he imbibes and feels less so if he has a drinking buddy (that’s you), willing or not. To say the least, his behavior is inconsiderate — and I mean ALL of it. When someone is involved with a problem drinker, and from your description of his behavior your husband is one, the place to start looking for answers is Al-Anon. To find a meeting close to you, go online to al-anon.org. Please don’t wait. Dear Abby: My best friend, “Cecily,” has just come out to me as being a lesbian. We are both 15.

DEAR ABBY wants something from me and I refuse, she says I’m “treating her badly because she’s gay.” I let it go the first couple of times, but now she does this every time she wants something. When I finally confronted her about it, she went to her mother and said I was bullying her because of her being gay. Her mother yelled at me and told me to “get my act together or get out of her life.” Her mother is like a second mother to me. Other than this, Cecily has been a great friend. This has gotten way out of hand. Abby, I have tried everything. What do I do? — Way Out Of Hand In New York Dear Way Out Of Hand: Cecily may react this way because she’s newly out and hypersensitive to being discriminated against for being gay. (For too many gay teens, this is a sad reality.) Consider asking your mother to talk to Cecily’s mother and explain that you’re not homophobic but feel her daughter is being manipulative. If the woman hears it from another adult, she may talk to her daughter about it. However, if that doesn’t work, you may have to decide if it’s worth it to continue the relationship under these circumstances. Contact Dear Abby at P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Presenters Jerry Seinfeld’s latest ‘nothing’ something you won’t see on TV named for By Emily Yahr The Washington Post

Jerry Seinfeld could have taken his gazillion-dollar “Seinfeld” fortune, gone merrily on his way and never worked again, but he decided two years ago to launch the Web series “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee” on Sony’s Crackle.com. The show is exactly what it sounds like: Seinfeld in conversation with his funniest celebrity friends, including David Letterman, Tina Fey, Mel Brooks, Louis C.K., Jon Stewart, Aziz Ansari and Sarah Silverman, among others. The series, which is in its fourth season this summer, has collected more than 40 million views and an Emmy nomination. How has it done so well? Obviously having the name “Seinfeld” attached doesn’t hurt. But the best explanation is that it’s a talk show without actually being a talk show. If that sounds like Seinfeldian nonsense, well, that’s what it is. Following tradition, “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee” is basically a show about nothing

— except cars and coffee, sort of. Every Thursday at noon, a new episode (generally about 15 to 20 minutes long) is posted, each kicking off with Seinfeld asking a famous pal to join him for a cup of joe. Then they take a ride in a classic car to a coffee shop and talk about everything from comedy to careers to kids to hobbies. It’s essentially eavesdropping as stars chat, so you learn all kinds of fun facts. For example: Jon Stewart has a three-legged dog. Tina Fey doesn’t have a driver’s license. Every night, Mel Brooks goes to Carl Reiner’s house where the two comedy legends eat dinner on TV trays and watch “Jeopardy!” As it’s always an entertaining peek behind the scenes, the question becomes “When is Seinfeld going to take the show to television?” Seinfeld’s answer, however, has always been the same: Never. And that’s probably for the best. Everyone knows that talk shows can have a rough time in the television world. Daytime and late-night TV are littered with failed ventures.

Plus, Seinfeld isn’t a fan of modern-day talk shows, calling them “promotional vehicles for the industry.” “They’re not talk shows, per se, they’re kind of setup talk shows — ‘I’m gonna ask you this, then you say that,’ “ he told the Hollywood Reporter. Network executives could promise to stay out of Seinfeld’s way, but the Internet still has much more freedom than broadcast or cable television could offer. With the Web show, there’s no pressure about when an episode needs to run, or for how long. No one gives notes. There are no pre-interviews. Seinfeld can do whatever he wants, and the result is a genuinely fascinating conversation. The most important point, though, involves the comedians themselves. In front of a studio audience, they don’t open up the way they do in the relaxed atmosphere of Seinfeld’s low-key production. That, in a nutshell, is why “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee” works. And, as Seinfeld has learned through the years, you don’t mess with success.

‘Emmys’

LOS ANGELES — Film stars Julia Roberts, Matthew McConaughey and Halle Berry are among the first presenters announced for this month’s Emmy Awards ceremony. In a statement Monday, executive producer Don Mischer said 13 celebrities have been confirmed so far as trophy presenters for the Aug. 25 awards. Other presenters will include Emmy nominees Bryan Cranston of “Breaking Bad,” Woody Harrelson of “True Detective,” Julia Louis-Dreyfus of “Veep,” Julianna Marguilies of “The Good Wife,” Jim Parsons of “The Big Bang Theory,” Amy Poehler of “Parks and Recreation” and Kerry Washington of “Scandal.” The 66th Emmy Awards, with host Seth Meyers, are airing on NBC and on a Monday instead of the ceremony’s usual Sunday. The switch was made to avoid a conflict with NBC’s “Sunday Night Football” as well as the MTV Video Music Awards. Lynn Elber, Associated Press

ATLANTA — Lynyrd Skynyrd is getting the tribute treatment. An all-star cast of performers will salute the seminal Southern rock band during the taping of “One More for the Fans! Celebrating the Songs & Music of Lynyrd Skynyrd.” The Nov. 12 concert will

feature performances from Gregg Allman, Alabama, Charlie Daniels, Peter Frampton, John Hiatt, Jamey Johnson, Cheap Trick and more. The Fox Theatre event in Atlanta features a band put together by Grammy Award-winning bandleader Don Was. The

concert will be taped and released at a later date. Skynyrd has some history with the Fox. The band recorded its 1976 live album, “One More From the Road,” there as part of a campaign to save the historic building. Associated Press

continue the wild ride that has been the life of Hank Moody (David Duchovny). His portrayal of the flawed novelist has featured enough emotional highs and sexual lows to earn Duchovny a Golden Globe. Through each season, Moody has tried to adjust to being a New Yorker in sunny California. It’s not been easy. The final season finds him in the writer’s room as his never-released feature film “Santa Monica Cop” has been turned into a television series. In typical Moody fashion, he has trouble getting along with the other writers. Guest stars include Michael Imperioli, Heather Graham, Rob Lowe, Brandon T. Jackson, Mary Lynn Rajskub and Stephen Tobolowsky. “Community: The Complete Fifth Season,” Grade C-: The NBC series that went from great to mediocre should have come to an end with these 13 episodes. But there will be a sixth season thanks to Yahoo Screen. This fifth season is an example of how original characters became less interesting with each passing year at the community college. The two-disc set for season five features the episodes, plus cast and crew commentary on every episode, outtakes and two

behind-the-scenes features: “Re-Animating the ‘80s” and “Advanced Television Production: 5 Days, 2 Scripts, No Sleep.” Guest stars include Jonathan Banks, Vince Gilligan, Brie Larson, David Cross and Nathan Fillion. Also new on DVD: “The Trip To Bountiful”: TV movie that follows Carrie Watts (Cicely Tyson), who travels back to her beloved hometown. “Need for Speed”: Mechanic hits the road after he is framed for a crime. Aaron Paul stars. “Agatha Christie’s Poirot Fan Favorites Collection”: Features sleuth’s finest investigations selected by fans. “Discovery Channel’s MythBusters Collection 11”: Continuing mythbusting efforts by Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage. “Phantom of the Paradise”: Cult favorite from director Brian De Palma is now on Blu-ray. “God’s Not Dead”: Freshman and devout Christian has his faith challenged on his first day of philosophy class. Kevin Sorbo stars. “Perry Mason Movie Collection: Vol. 3”: The wining attorney travels from Las Vegas to Paris. Rick Bentley, The Fresno Bee

NEW ON DVD A movie based on a teen novel and two TV series are out on DVD this week. “Divergent,” Grade C: This is the latest in a string of movies based on a popular young adult novel — a fact that works against the film. A young woman (Shailene Woodley) finds herself in the middle of a war between factions in a future world. Similarities to other movies and big questions about the story pile up so high the only thing that can save the film is the chemistry between the main characters. Woodley turns in a solid performance as the young woman facing major changes in her life. And Theo James is a dashing guardian to his young charge (maybe a tiny bit too young for him). There just aren’t any sparks when they get together. It looks at a world filled with five factions: Abnegation, Amity, Candor, Dauntless and Erudite. For this review, Candor seems the best way to go: Honestly, this is a film that will please fans of the book. It’s not bad, but it feels too familiar and lacks on-screen chemistry for it to win over those who haven”t read the book. “Californication: The Final Season,” Grade B: The last 12 episodes of the Showtime comedy series
