Pot cleared in pileup The driver admitted she smoked marijuana before the accident, but test results were below the legal limit.

By Diana Hefley Herald Writer

EVERETT — A Granite Falls woman tested positive for marijuana a few hours after causing a pileup on U.S. 2, but state

toxicologists said the result was below the state’s legal limit.

Heather Marie Lee, 27, told her lawyer that she smoked marijuana daily to treat anxiety. On Wednesday, she vowed to give up marijuana and seek mental

health treatment.

“I was trying to quit marijuana before the accident,” Lee said at her sentencing. “It has caused nothing but problems in my life.”

A Snohomish County Superior Court judge advised Lee to be careful about taking other drugs used to treat anxiety. There are far more “habit-forming and dangerous drugs than marijuana,” Judge

Park project put on hold

George Bowden said. He advised her to find “competent help” to address her anxiety disorder.

Lee was expected to be released from jail Wednesday evening after Bowden granted her a first-time-offender waiver and sentenced her to three months in jail.

Cascade tackles a new year

Everett and the state will examine new ways to tackle cleanup at Legion Memorial Park that are less likely to damage the trees.

By Chris Winters Herald Writer

EVERETT — A little more than a week after Mayor Ray Stephanson halted a controversial plan to remove most of the trees in Legion Memorial Park, the city announced that it was postponing the whole project.

That will give the city’s Parks and Recreation Department and the state Department of Ecology time to draw up a new cleanup plan for the park that will be less likely to damage the trees.

“We’re concerned it would be impossible to complete the work over the whole park without impacting the trees,” said Meghan Pembroke, city spokeswoman.

Much of northern Everett, including Legion Park, is contaminated by heavy metals left over from the operations of the Everett Smelter.

The smelter closed in 1912, but leftover pollution was detected in the 1990s, especially arsenic and lead, but with smaller amounts of thallium, cadmium, mercury and antimony also present.

The state Department of Ecology has been working on cleaning about 1.1 square miles of area, mostly by removing up to 18 inches of topsoil and replacing it with clean fill.

The original plan for Legion Park would have closed the park for the winter while contractors continued the cleanup. The city parks department would have used that opportunity to

Fair takes steps to reduce environmental impact Herald Writer

MONROE — The Evergreen State Fair is going green this year.

Snohomish County is seeking to reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills after the 12-day event, which opens Thursday.

The fair is one of the county’s biggest garbage generators, sending about 240 tons of refuse to dumping grounds each year.

“That’s roughly the weight of 19 empty school buses,” said Garrison Marr, a county conservation specialist.

around the fairgrounds for people to separate their trash for recycling, compost and garbage.

The county wants to reduce the amount of waste that goes into landfills by 150 tons in three years. By 2017, it hopes to divert most of the fairground’s refuse to recycling or composting.

Pot: ‘No standard rate at which THC dissipates’ Fair: Will be I was trying to quit marijuana before the accident. It has studied caused nothing but problems From Page A1

She has already served more than two months and was expected to get credit for good behavior.

Lee, still in a wheelchair because of injuries she suffered in the accident, told the judge that she just wanted to get home to her children.

Before the June 2 crash, the Granite Falls woman was studying to be a certified nursing assistant at Everett Community College. As a result of her felony conviction, she has lost her scholarship and is no longer eligible to obtain a CNA license, the judge was told.

“I’m so sorry this happened. I never intended to hurt anyone,” Lee said.

Lee was headed east toward Sultan. She told police that her two children were fighting in the back seat and she turned her head to check on them. She was unable to brake in time for vehicles stopped in front of her. She crashed into two other cars. A dozen people,

ages 1 to 72, were involved in the pile-up. Three people, including two boys, ages 10 and 13, suffered severe injuries, including broken bones and internal wounds that required surgery.

Lee also was taken to the hospital.

That day she admitted that she had smoked a “bowl of marijuana” earlier, and police found a marijuana pipe in her vehicle.

Lee’s blood was drawn at the hospital after State Patrol troopers obtained a warrant, about three hours after the crash.

Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Tobin Darrow charged Lee with two counts of vehicular assault based on her admission and pending the results of the toxicology tests. He alleged that Lee was driving in a “reckless manner” and was under the influence of drugs.

If convicted of that charge, Lee faced up to a year in prison, and she wouldn’t have been eligible for a

first-time offender waiver.

It also would have been a strike under the state’s persistent-offender law.

State toxicologists later reported that Lee tested at 3.8 nanograms of active THC per milliliter of blood — below the legal limit of 5 nanograms.

That compelled Darrow to reduce the charge to an allegation that Lee had disregarded the safety of others but wasn’t under the influence of drugs.

State toxicologist won’t speculate if Lee’s THC level would have been higher at the time of the crash, Darrow said.

The concentration of

THC, the active component in marijuana, rapidly decreases in the blood, said Dr. Fiona Couper, a toxicologist with the Washington State Patrol, in an email to the Herald.

“However, unlike alcohol, there is no standard rate at which THC dissipates. So although the level was presumably higher three hours earlier, we cannot determine what the exact level was at the time of the incident,” she said.

Darrow, the deputy prosecutor, said Wednesday that he has no doubt that marijuana played a role in the crash, but he wasn’t convinced that a jury

would convict Lee of the more severe charges.

Bowden seemed to disagree with the deputy prosecutor’s conclusion.

“It is clear that had the defendant been looking at the road, she could have avoided the accident,” Bowden said. There was no evidence to suggest that the accident was caused by her drug use, he said.

Bowden ordered Lee to get a drug and alcohol assessment and follow any treatment recommendations. The judge, however, declined to order Lee to stop using marijuana, saying it appeared that she was using the drug to treat a medical condition and that he’d leave it to her treating physician to determine the best course.

“Remember, even if you use marijuana to deal with anxiety, it will never be an excuse for traffic violations,” Bowden said.

Park: Some contamination will be left behind From Page A1

remove up to 90 trees that it said were sick, dying or otherwise near the end of their natural lifespan, and replace them with more than 100 saplings of various species.

A public outcry over the removal of the large shade trees that dominate and give character to the park convinced Mayor Stephanson to halt the tree removal plan.

As a result of the delay, the park will not be closed

this winter and the annual Sorticulture garden festival, which takes over the park for a week every June, will not have to relocate, as was anticipated.

A new plan probably will take a few months to finalize, Pembroke said, but it means that the cleanup work in the park won’t start up again until the second half of 2015.

This also means the cancellation of a public meeting scheduled for Tuesday that was to focus on both the city’s tree

removal plan and Ecology’s cleanup process.

The cleanup will focus primarily on those areas of the park that see the highest amount of traffic and the highest concentrations of pollution. The work will likely take place in phases, so that other parts of the park can remain open while the project is under way.

With a more limited scope, some contamination will still remain in the soil afterward, but that is the case elsewhere in the

THE NO WORRY CD

city, said Meg Bommarito, who is overseeing the cleanup for Ecology.

“For any property that we work on, there’s going to be some contamination left in place, because there’s always areas that we can’t get to,” she said.

In residential neighborhoods, contaminated soil may be buried under sidewalks or driveways.

In the park, it might be around roots and building foundations.

“We’re trying to make sure the trees will survive,” Bommarito said.

The heaviest contamination was found in the footprint of the former smelter site, which is near the intersection of Broadway and East Marine View Drive.

Farther out, the most significant pollutant is the arsenic that blew over the city, Bommarito said.

into the appropriate bins.

Six teens and an adult supervisor are expected to rove the fairgrounds, educating people on what they can recycle or compost rather than throw into the trash.

The county intends to study the waste from the fair to get an idea of what type of garbage is being tossed out, Marr said. Workers plan to sort through trash bags to determine how much of the material could have been recycled or composted. They expect to then use that data to come up with ways to further reduce the amount that goes to landfills.

“It’s gross and great in equal doses,” Marr said.

Having less trash to haul away is expected to save about $10,000 a year in fairgrounds operating costs. The county spends some $2.5 million to produce the annual fair, said Hal Gausman, the grounds manager.

“The zero-waste program saves some money but it is not always about the money,” he said in an email. Gausman said is focused on being as environmentally responsible as possible.

“It’s really moving to zero waste,” said Bob Leonard, a county maintenance supervisor for parks and the fairgrounds.

In 2015, Leonard said, the county likely will require vendors to use compostable food containers and utensils.

“This is the one event we really need to hit hard,” Leonard said.

“This is the time we can really make a difference.”

park cleanup won’t change Ecology’s schedule for cleaning up residential properties.

The state has cleaned up 257 properties in north Everett, and will begin removing soil at 19 more this fall. Another 23 are beginning the process that will result in a cleanup in 2015, Bommarito said.

The residential cleanup program is funded with $44 million from a bankruptcy settlement with Asarco, the last inheritor of the interests and liabilities of the smelter.

The Legion Park cleanup is funded through a separate appropriation from the Legislature, and the tree removal program would have been paid for by the city.

A.G. Holder visits Ferguson Grand jury begins work on fatal police shooting of Michael Brown

By Tina Susman and Molly Hennessy-Fiske Los Angeles Times

FERGUSON, Mo. — U.S. Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. visited Ferguson on Wednesday, meeting with students, community leaders and federal investigators as the St. Louis County prosecutor opened grand jury hearings in the fatal police shooting of unarmed 18-year-old Michael Brown.

The Aug. 9 shooting touched off racial unrest and rioting in the Missouri town, with heavily armed police firing tear gas into crowds of demonstrators.

St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Robert McCulloch, who began presenting evidence Wednesday, said he expected it would take until mid-October to present all evidence in the case. The grand jury will decide whether to indict Darren Wilson, the white Ferguson police officer who shot Brown, who was black.

The prosecutor’s spokesman, Ed Magee, said that Wilson “will be afforded the opportunity to testify.”

Holder toured the fractious St. Louis suburb as he met with students and community leaders, sat down for lunch with residents at a diner and briefed reporters on developments in the federal investigation into the shooting. While the

prosecutor’s investigation will focus on the circumstances of Brown’s death, Holder told reporters, the Justice Department will investigate whether Brown’s civil rights were violated.

Holder said that, as a black man, he understood how the shooting had inflamed racial tensions. He told a group of young people about discriminatory actions he encountered years ago with New Jersey state troopers and Georgetown police officers.

“I am the attorney general of the United States. But I am also a black man. I can remember being stopped on the New Jersey Turnpike on two occasions and accused of speeding.

Pulled over . ‘Let me search your car.’ Go through the trunk of my car, look under the seats and all this kind of stuff,” he said. “I remember how humiliating that was and how angry I was and the impact it had on me.”

In anticipation of the grand jury hearing, a crowd of media and about 50 demonstrators converged Wednesday morning outside the Buzz Westfall Justice Center in the nearby St. Louis suburb of Clayton.

Police have said Wilson shot Brown in self-defense. Some witnesses have said that Wilson was the aggressor in an altercation between the two men and fired as Brown’s hands were raised in surrender.

Unlike most previous nights, demonstrations Tuesday night in Ferguson were largely peaceful, and no tear gas was fired by law enforcement. At least 47 people were arrested as of early Wednesday, mainly on charges of failing to disperse, officials said.

Missouri Highway Patrol Capt. Ron Johnson, who is in charge of the law enforcement response and met with Holder on Wednesday, said he hoped the situation represented a turning point in the consecutive nights of chaotic, often violent protests in which heavily armed police have fired tear gas to disperse unruly crowds.

Several local businesses have been looted and vandalized, and one was burned.

On Wednesday, police said an officer had been suspended for pointing a semi-automatic assault rifle at demonstrators, then cursing and threatening to kill one of them.

The National Guard has also been called in to help keep the peace.

Meanwhile, Brown’s funeral arrangements were set. The Austin A. Layne Mortuary, which is handling arrangements, said the funeral will be at 10 a.m. Monday at Friendly Temple Missionary Baptist Church in St. Louis. Brown will be buried at St. Peter’s Cemetery in St. Louis County.

Beheading spurs attacks on militants

By Lara Jakes and Ryan Lucas Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The United States launched a new barrage of airstrikes Wednesday against the Islamic State extremist group that beheaded American journalist James Foley and that has seized a swath of territory across Iraq and Syria.

President Barack Obama vowed relentless pursuit of the terrorists and the White House revealed that the U.S. had launched a secret rescue mission inside Syria earlier this summer that failed to rescue Foley and other Americans still being held hostage.

Obama said the U.S. would “do what we must to protect our people,” but he stopped short of promising to follow the Islamic State in its safe haven within Syria, where officials said Foley had been killed. Later, though, the administration revealed that several dozen special operations troops had been on the

ground in Syria briefly in an effort to rescue the hostages, but did not find them.

The State Department refused to rule out future U.S. military operations in Syria, where Obama has long resisted intervening in its civil war.

Western nations agreed to speed help to combat the militants — most notably Germany, which bucked public opposition by announcing it would arm Iraqi Kurdish fighters to battle the Islamic State. French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said he

was outraged by the beheading, deeming it evidence of a “caliphate of barbarism.” Italy’s defense minister said the country hopes to contribute machine guns, ammunition and anti-tank rockets.

The Islamic State called Foley’s death a revenge killing for U.S. airstrikes against militants in Iraq, and said other hostages would be slain if the attacks continued. Undeterred, the U.S. conducted 14 additional strikes after a video of the beheading surfaced, bringing to 84 the number of airstrikes since they began Aug. 8.

The Islamic State militants have promised to eliminate all people they consider heretics in their quest to create an extremist state across much of Iraq and Syria.

“We will be vigilant and we will be relentless,” Obama said, urging unity among Mideast governments in order to eviscerate the extremist group’s growing power. He spoke from Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts, where he is vacationing.

In capitals across the Middle East, news of Foley’s death was met largely with silence, even in Syria and Iraq where the Islamic State is strongest.

On social media, people in the region condemned Foley’s killing, but stressed that the Islamic State has been committing atrocities against Iraqis and Syrians for years.

For much of the past year, and until this summer, the Obama administration was deeply divided on how much of a threat the Islamic State posed. But since the militants’ march across northern Iraq in June, and as its ranks swelled to an estimated 15,000 fighters, Obama has acknowledged that the Islamic State could become a direct threat to Americans.

Foley, a 40-year-old journalist from Rochester, New Hampshire, was one of at least four Americans still being held in Syria. The video of Foley’s beheading also showed missing American journalist Steven Sotloff, and warned he would be the next killed if U.S. airstrikes continued.

Ebola toll a record; Liberian slums barricaded Associated Press MONROVIA, Liberia — Riot police and soldiers used scrap wood and barbed wire to seal off 50,000 people inside their Liberian slum Wednesday, trying to contain the Ebola outbreak that has killed 1,350 people and counting across West Africa.

Hundreds of residents clashed with the authorities, furious at being blamed and isolated by a government that has failed to quickly collect dead bodies from the streets.

The World Health Organization said the death toll is rising most quickly in Liberia, which now accounts for at least 576 of the fatalities. At least 2,473 people have been sickened across West Africa, which is now more than the caseloads of all the previous two-dozen Ebola outbreaks combined.

The U.N. health agency also warned of shortages of food, water and other essential supplies in West Africa’s population centers.

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Security forces patrol the West Point area of Monrovia on Wednesday.

West Point is a densely populated slum surrounded by floating sewage that occupies a half-mile-long peninsula in Liberia’s seaside capital. It suffers from government neglect even in the best of times, and mistrust of authorities is rampant. Open defecation is a major problem. Drinking water is carted in on wheelbarrows, and people depend on a local market for their food.

Now many of the market’s traders are stuck inside, prices have doubled and “the community is in disarray,” resident Richard Kieh said.

“Why are you ill-treating people like this? How can we take this kind of government to be peaceful? It is not fair — We are human,” said another resident, Mohamed Fahnbulleh.

Ebola is only spread through direct contact with the bodily

fluids of sick people experiencing symptoms. Those at greatest risk are doctors and nurses and people who handle the dead. Still, victims often suffer gruesome deaths, bleeding from the eyes, mouth and ears, and the fatality rate is about 50 percent.

West Point has been a flash point. Days earlier, residents ransacked a screening center where people in contact with Ebola victims were being monitored. They dragged out sheets and mattresses covered with blood and feces, accusing the government of bringing sick people into their neighborhood. Dozens of potential carriers were taken elsewhere in the city.

President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf responded by imposing a nighttime curfew and ordering “quarantines” of West Point and Dolo Town, another densely populated slum outside the capital. She didn’t say how long the blockades would last, or how people would get food, water or other help.

ACROSS THE U.S.

Navy kicks out 34 for nuke cheating WASHINGTON — At least 34 sailors are being kicked out of the Navy for their roles in a cheating ring that operated undetected for at least seven years at a nuclear power training site, and 10 others are under criminal investigation, the admiral in charge of the Navy’s nuclear reactors program said.

The number of accused and the duration of cheating are greater than was known when the Navy announced in February that it had discovered cheating on qualification exams by an estimated 20 to 30 sailors seeking to be certified as instructors at the nuclear training unit at Charleston, South Carolina. Students there are trained in nuclear reactor operations to prepare for service on any of the Navy’s 83 nuclear-powered submarines and aircraft carriers.

Ariz.: Flood cleanup begins Residents began cleaning up Wednesday from devastating flooding that slammed Arizona a day earlier, trapping people in vehicles and homes and washing away thousands of cactuses at a farm north of Phoenix. The National Weather Service said some areas received more rain Tuesday than they had all last summer, and many residents were faced with a long recovery.

Va.: Same-sex marriage The U.S. Supreme Court agreed Wednesday to delay an appeals court ruling striking down the state’s gay marriage ban. The nation’s highest court granted a request from a county clerk in northern Virginia to delay a decision by the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond that would have allowed for same-sex couples to marry beginning Thursday. The state would have also had to start recognizing gay marriages from out of state if the Supreme Court had denied the request. The court provided no explanation for its order.

N.H.: Winter will be colder The Old Farmer’s Almanac, the familiar, 223-year-old chronicler of climate, folksy advice and fun facts, is predicting a colder winter and warmer summer for much of the nation. Published Wednesday, the New Hampshire-based almanac predicts a “super-cold” winter in the eastern two-thirds of the country.

The west will remain a little bit warmer than normal. Before unpacking the parka, however, remember that “colder than average” is still only about 2 to 5 degrees difference.

AROUND THE WORLD Antarctic: Microbial life In an icy lake half a mile beneath the Antarctic ice sheet, scientists have discovered a diverse ecosystem of single-celled organisms that have managed to survive without ever seeing the light of the sun. The discovery, reported Wednesday in the journal Nature, is not so much a surprise as a triumph of science and engineering. The research team spent 10 years and more than $10 million to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that life did indeed exist in subglacial lakes near the South Pole.

Japan: Hiroshima landslide Rain-sodden slopes collapsed in torrents of mud, rock and debris Wednesday on the outskirts of Hiroshima, killing at least 36 people and leaving seven missing, police said.

Public broadcaster NHK showed rescue workers suspended by ropes from police helicopters pulling victims from the rubble. Others searched for survivors in crushed homes. Hillsides were swept down into residential areas in at least five valleys after heavy rains left slopes unstable.

Gaza Strip: Airstrike kills wife, child of Hamas leader Hamas’ military chief escaped an apparent Israeli assassination attempt that killed his wife and infant son, the militant group said Wednesday as Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that the bombardment of Gaza will continue until rocket fire out of the Palestinian territory stops. The airstrike on a home where Mohammed Deif’s family members were staying came after the collapse of cease-fire talks in Cairo on Tuesday.

Hamas officials said Wednesday that Deif was not in the targeted home at the time and was still alive.

BofA, U.S. reach $17B settlement

By Jeff Horwitz and Michael Virtanen Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Bank of America has reached a record $17 billion settlement to resolve an investigation into its role in the sale of mortgage-backed securities before the 2008 financial crisis, officials directly familiar with the matter said Wednesday.

One of the officials, who spoke with The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because

the announcement isn’t scheduled until Thursday at the earliest, said the bank will pay $10 billion in cash and provide consumer relief valued at $7 billion.

The deal is the largest settlement arising from the economic meltdown in which millions of Americans lost their homes to foreclosure. It follows agreements in the last year with Citigroup for $7 billion and with JPMorgan Chase & Co. for $13 billion.

Like the Bank of America deal, those settlements were a mixture

of hard cash and “credits” for various forms of consumer aid that the banks promised to provide in coming years.

The Bank of America settlement was negotiated through a joint federal and state working group established by President Barack Obama two years ago with the Justice Department and other federal and state authorities.

Individual states are expected to share in the settlement.

Justice Department spokeswoman Ellen Canale declined to

comment, as did New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, a co-chairman of the group. The bank also declined comment.

The deal requires Bank of America to acknowledge making serious misrepresentations about the quality of its residential mortgage-backed securities issued by itself and by Countrywide Financial and Merrill Lynch.

NEW YORK— Barnes & Noble and Samsung on Wednesday unveiled a new co-branded tablet called the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 Nook that will replace B&N’s own Nook tablets.

The 7-inch Wi-Fi tablet will sell for $179 after a $20 instant rebate, the same entry price of the nonbranded Samsung Galaxy Tab 4.

The move had been expected, since Barnes & Noble said in June it would team up with Samsung to develop Nook tablets that would be available in August.

For the first time, the Nook will have a front- and rear-facing camera. It comes with more than

WASHINGTON — The Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice announced an $896,000 proposed settlement Wednesday with Warren Buffett’s investment holding company Berkshire Hathaway Inc. The agencies filed Wednesday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia a proposed settlement, imposing the maximum civil penalty possible. The final judgment is subject to court approval.

The settlement involves allegations that Berkshire Hathaway violated pre-merger reporting laws in connection with its 2013 purchase of building products giant USG Corp.

The federal government has sold more than 400,000 acres in the Gulf of Mexico off the Texas coast for oil and gas exploration and development, the U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management said Wednesday. The acreage represents a fraction of the 21.6 million acres the agency had offered as part of the Obama administration’s five-year program to develop resources on the Outer Continental Shelf. Wednesday’s sales, if approved, will bring in about $110 million.

Edmonds Community College launches a program for sustainable agriculture.

By Mina Williams The Herald Business Journal

LYNNWOOD — When looking for a job, just look down.

That’s the advice of Jason Niebler, director of Edmonds Community College’s new Sustainable Agriculture Education program.

“Growing food can happen in residential and community gardens, rooftops, even parking lots,” Niebler said. “There is nothing but opportunity. We need people to produce food

and opportunities are emerging daily.”

The Sustainable Agriculture Education program, started at the college last winter, aims to teach people how to grow food, harvest it in a manageable way, market the product and deal with compostable material.

“Consumers want to be more connected to their food and are looking for options to reduce the distance food travels through to market,” Niebler said.

People can use the skills taught in the program to get jobs in production, processing or distribution on farms or at food banks, commercial greenhouses or hydroponic operations.

Niebler also envisions people starting their own firms— such

as an edible landscaper— or becoming consultants or educators.

One of the students is Marni Swart, who is also a program assistant. She said the nation must overhaul its food policy and the program will help her teach others. “(I entered the program) because I want to educate myself so that I can educate others,” Swart said. “Our food system has to change and I want to be a constructive part of the solution, not just someone who sits around complaining.”

U.S. sells 400,000 acres off Texas coast

By W.J. Hennigan WASHINGTON — The Air Force has temporarily grounded 82 of its aging F-16 fighter jets after structural cracks were found near the cockpits.

The first cracks were discovered July 31 during post-flight inspections of an F-16D model, which is a twoseat variant primarily used for training. Subsequent inspections found than more than half of the F-16Ds were affected.

The grounding of the aircraft highlights an ongoing concern in the Air Force that its 2,028 fighter and attack jets are aging fast.

“As aircraft accumulate flight hours, cracks develop due to fatigue from sustained operations,” Lt. Col. Steve Grotjohn, Air Force deputy chief of the weapon system division, said in a statement.

The F-16D, which is flown around the globe, has an average age of 24 years with more than 5,500 hours of flight time.

Individual units inspected the 157 F-16Ds to ensure structural integrity and pilot safety. The inspections, which wrapped up Monday, found that 82 had cracks; the other 75 aircraft returned to flight.

Officials said engineers from the Air Force and F-16maker Lockheed Martin Corp. are developing temporary fixes to allow the aircraft with cracks to resume operations, while work continues on a permanent fix.

The indebted state developer was scheduled to repay the credit over three installments between September 2015 and March 2018. The company’s credit-fueled building spree was at the heart of Dubai’s financial crisis in 2009.

THE DAY ON WALL STREET The stock market rose for a third straight day Wednesday despite a report from the Federal Reserve that showed a growing chorus of central bank officials willing to raise interest rates sooner rather than later. In the bond market, prices fell and yields rose as investors prepared themselves for higher interest rates.

The poor quality of the loans led to huge losses for investors and a slew of foreclosures, kicking off the recession that began in late 2007.

The cash totals now being paid by some of the country’s largest banks are not nearly enough to reverse the damages caused by the bursting of the housing bubble and the ensuing recession.

Bank of America had argued that it shouldn’t be held liable for the subprime mortgages issued by Countrywide and Merrill Lynch. Combined, those three firms issued $965 billion in mortgage-backed securities from 2004 to 2008, according to public records.

Roughly 75 percent of that total came from Countrywide.

Apple’s stock bounces back to new high

SAN FRANCISCO — Apple’s stock touched a new high Wednesday, reflecting investors’ renewed faith in CEO Tim Cook’s ability to outwit the competition and expand the technological hit factory built by the late Steve Jobs.

The milestone represents a dramatic turnaround in sentiment since Apple’s shares reached its previous

split-adjusted peak of $100.72 in September 2012. After peaking at $100.77 Wednesday morning, shares slipped 3 cents to $100.50, giving Apple a market value of $602 billion — by far more than any other publicly held company.

Apple’s stock had fallen to a split-adjusted $55.01 in April 2013 to wipe out about $300 billion in shareholder wealth amid worries that the Cupertino, California, company had run out of ideas without

Jobs as its mastermind.

The anxiety escalated as sales of iPhones and iPads slowed amid the growing popularity of less expensive smartphones and tablet computers made

by Samsung Electronics and other rivals relying on Google’s free Android software.

Now, there are signs that Samsung’s devices are losing momentum while Apple prepares to release the next version of its iPhone this fall and investors wait for Cook to

deliver on his promise to introduce a product that will open up new opportunities. The breakthrough is widely expected to be a smartwatch that will include sensors to help people monitor their health.

Apple hasn’t provided details about its upcoming products.

Cook, though, has been raising hopes that Apple is poised to create a new product category for the first time since the iPad’s release four years ago.

IN OUR VIEW | Legislative Ethics Board

What a free dinner buys you A generation ago, “legislative ethics” couldn’t pass the straight-face test. Olympia lobbyists looked as if they fell out of a Thomas Nast cartoon of Boss Tweed and Tammany Hall, roaming the veined-marble committee rooms of the Legislative Building, checkbooks in hand.

Over time, the dynamic changed, including a session fundraising freeze, which tamps down the appearance of self-dealing, along with greater transparency and oversight of political campaigns.

Olympia is clean, relative to the 1970s and 80s. But no amount of regulation ensures lawmakers exercise judgment.

The need for specific safeguards was thrown into relief

Tuesday as the Legislative Ethics Board noodled what constitutes “infrequent” when establishing the number of meals a lawmaker can accept from self-interested lobbyists.

The number they came up with was 12. In Norse mythology, Odin had 12 sons, but otherwise the figure is arbitrary. It sounds, well, frequent enough.

The action and figuring flow directly from an investigative report last year by KUOW’s Austin Jenkins and The Associated Press, which highlighted the unseemly but perfectly legal pageant of legislators accepting $65,000 in free meals from the state’s top 50 lobbyists in the first four months of 2013.

Free grub and entertainment, every day or every other

day, but, purportedly, no quid pro quos. (Note as well: Lawmakers shouldn’t be pocketing per diems if they’re landing supper for free.)

State Sen. Doug Ericksen, R-Ferndale, chair of the Energy, Environment and Telecommunications Committee, was the biggest offender, accepting $2,000 in meals and attending 62 lobby dinners.

Jenkins and the AP took three weeks to piece together a database. The value of toughto-unearth data is just that: Other than newshounds, who will dedicate weeks to ferreting out information on lawmakers’ acceptance of gratis meals?

A state House bill that that would have required lobbyists to file itemized expenses

Japanese internment camps.

Sixty-five years past the communist witch hunt. Fifty years since lynchings in the South.

Time to celebrate? Not unless you’re a racist or never watch, listen or read the real news.

That the Rodney King incident required federal prosecution was disturbing.

Attorney General Eric Holder is needed in Missouri. Thirteen years later. A black

president later.

To anyone paying attention, there is clear racism in the power structure of the prosecutor offices and the police forces in many racially tense cites.

To the 70 percent, read Tuesday’s comments from Eugene Robinson: “The ones left behind.”

electronically died in the Senate this year. So the onus fell on the Ethics Board to fine tune what should be instinctual: Elected officials working in the public interest shouldn’t accept free things from people paid to influence their votes. Period.

As Rep. Drew Hansen, D-Bainbridge, a member of the board noted, “You can buy your own burrito with a lobbyist.”

Regarding campaign dinero, U.S. Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens wrote, “Money, like water, always find an outlet.”

The Legislative Ethics Board did the right thing. The key now is attracting people to public life who don’t need to be reminded of the obvious.

Tragic reminder to get tetanus shot Recently, on a Saturday, my mother called with a sore throat. On Sunday, she was rushed to the hospital with a jaw that only opened half way. Monday she was on life support for breathing, blood pressure problems, and her whole body was getting rigid and tense. By Thursday, with seven tubes keeping her alive and several medications, she started spasms. By Friday, we had to let her go, as there was no cure. She was 85, and so active. So please, get that tetanus shot.

GUEST COMMENTARY | Minimum wage

Raise will hurt those it’s intended to help

By Jerry Fraser

I

n two recent columns, John Burbank hypothesizes that increasing the minimum wage would cure many social and economic problems. He assumes that all minimum-wage earners will get a raise, and nothing else will happen. This would violate the laws of economics.

No entity, whether an individual, small business or large corporation, is willing to pay more for something than that something is worth, and that includes labor. Raising the legislated minimum wage significantly higher than the market value of an unskilled worker will result in a combination of things, including higher prices, layoffs and more automation. The Congressional Budget Office, which is widely respected across the political spectrum, predicted that raising the federal minimum wage to $10.10 per hour would give a raise to 900,000 workers, but that 500,000 workers would lose their jobs.

Many of those who would lose their jobs are incapable of producing enough value to justify the higher wage, so they would be shut out of the job market and the structure, satisfaction and social interaction that a job provides. This would be a tragedy for those people.

The customers of many companies who pay low wages such as Wal-Mart and McDonald’s are poor, so they would bear the brunt of the higher prices resulting from higher wages.

Liberals say that higher minimum

wage can be paid from “exorbitant profits” and reduction of executive compensation. The return on capital for McDonald’s and Wal-Mart is a paltry 6 percent and 5.5 percent, respectively.

Confiscation of all key executive compensation and redistributing it to half of all employees would result in a 1-cent per hour raise at McDonald’s and a 3-cent per hour raise at Wal-Mart.

The commentary by Patrick Connor, “Stats debunk wage myths,” discussed the issue that many minimum wage earners are not from poor families. A much better way to target and help low-income families is the earned income tax credit (EITC), sometimes called the negative income tax. Last tax season I volunteered in the United Way program that prepares federal income tax returns for low-income families.

No one was embarrassed to accept an EITC of several thousand dollars, which in many cases raised the family above the poverty level.

Virtually every liberal article on minimum wage points out that the current wage is significantly below the 1968 wage, adjusted for inflation. This is technically true, but misleading; 1968 was a spike year, with the minimum wage at $10.57 in 2013 dollars. There was a significant increase in the legislated federal minimum wage. The economy was booming with the unemployment rate about 3.5 percent, so it could tolerate the increase. However, the average federal minimum wage between 1963 and 1973 was $9.32 in $2013. There was no

EITC in those years, so a family headed by a minimum-wage earner has about the same purchasing power today as it did then.

Mr. Burbank implies that all productivity improvements should be passed on to workers in the form of higher wages.

Some industries, such as manufacturing, can improve productivity much more than others, such as education. A school teacher cannot teach more students without diluting the education for the other students. Workers in those industries, retired people, unemployed people and people on public assistance would not benefit. Productivity improvements should benefit all of us in the form of lower prices.

There are two things that could be done to solve most of the problems of Social Security. First, eliminate the cap on taxed earnings. This would convert Social Security taxes to neutral from regressive. Second, apply more relevant parameters to adjust the cost of living. Seniors deserve constant purchasing power, not artificial increases such as in 2009 when gas prices spiked then receded, resulting in a 6 percent increase in Social Security when inflation was about 2 percent.

I share Mr. Burbank’s passion for equal opportunity and social justice. However, raising the minimum wage is an ineffective mechanism for accomplishing this, and it would hurt many of the people it would be intended to help.

Is Ferguson social media victim?

S

oon the cameras, protesters, gawkers and tweeters will depart Ferguson, Missouri, leaving the question: What will be left of this embattled city when the smoke clears?

We’ve seen predominantly AfricanAmerican communities caught up in such turmoil before. We’ve seen the people’s buildings, stores, places of employment and reputation wrecked for decades — Watts in 1965 and Newark in 1967. In both cases, demonstrations set off by long-simmering grievances attracted violence and those who feasted on it.

What’s different this time is the role of social media in changing both how the story is told and the story itself. Twitter has made a bad situation worse — letting loose an indifferent mix of truth, lies, manipulation, good intentions and evil ones.

There are those who disagree. Media critic David Carr hailed the explosion FROMA HARROP of Twitter traffic early in the conflagration as a golden age of citizen journalism. Whereas CNN was focusing on the death of Lauren Bacall and U.S. action in northern Iraq, he wrote, Twitter feeds were showing where the real news was.

“In a situation hostile to traditional reporting,” Carr added, “the crowdsourced, phone-enabled network of information that Twitter provides has proved invaluable.”

Two problems with crowdsourcing.

One is the “source.” Tweeters don’t have to identify themselves. Thus, the “information” might well be the fantasy of an online adolescent in Copenhagen.

Inflammatory tweets might come from real Ferguson residents expressing their rage or from white racists attempting to discredit the former’s cause.

The other problem is the “crowd” — as in whether there really is a crowd. Twitter lets users set up multiple accounts. Nowadays, vendors sell fake Twitter accounts by the truckload to businesses and celebrities, enabling them to claim a massive “following.”

Tech writer Nick Bilton said he recently bought 4,000 new followers on Twitter for $5. Another $5 got him 4,000 friends on Facebook.

“Retweets. Likes. Favorites. Comments.

Upvotes. Page views. You name it; they’re for sale,” Bilton wrote. Many of these friends and followers are nothing more than lines of code.

Skilled corporate marketers use social media to invent fads out of nothing. In a famously successful campaign, Verizon made a stir with questions unrelated to its product, questions such as “Will you help me find my mom?”

Political consultants, activists, journalists and pranksters all have access to the same bag of social media tricks.

They know how to make a topic pop on Twitter.

Consider this rather revealing quote in The Washington Post by Mary Pat Hector, an organizer for Al Sharpton’s national action network: “People have been tweeting, ‘We are ready to die tonight.’ It is a trending topic.”

If I were a reporter in Ferguson, I’d be following the “Ferguson” hashtag on Twitter — to get some ideas on where to look. Carr is right that in a chaotic situation covering several square miles, one guy with a notebook misses a lot.

But that haystack of words is no substitute for anything resembling a reliable account of what’s going on.

The illusion of there being a crowd can itself summon crowd. Vying for attention amid the calls for peaceful marches in Ferguson were gleeful invitations to torch the town. Citizen journalism is not always good for the citizens.

In pre-Twitter days, old-fashioned TV cameras were known to draw throngs of performers. Now Twitter draws the mobs that draw the TV cameras, which generate even larger numbers.

One feels for the benighted people of Ferguson, whose city has become a stage for all kinds of online performances. Let’s hope that when the show moves on, they will have something to rebuild.

Air museum to open doors in central Oregon The new hangar at Madras will be a vast improvement over Tillamook for exhibiting military planes.

By Scott Hammers Bend Bulletin

MADRAS, Ore. — The Airshow of the Cascades begins on Friday, and with it, the air museum in development at the Madras Airport for more than a year will open its doors to the public for the first time.

Based at the Tillamook Air Museum for several years, the

collection of primarily World War II-era military planes owned by Jack Erickson began moving to Madras this spring, as a hangar constructed for their display was nearing completion.

Anthony Ruiz with the Erickson Group said 23 planes have made the trip over the mountains, and all will be on display — some flying — this weekend.

Ruiz said that although the Tillamook museum isn’t going away anytime soon — Erickson operates the museum, and is displaying planes on loan from other collectors — the Madras facility is a significant improvement over the facility at the coast. The

Tillamook museum is based in a massive wooden blimp hangar more than 1,000 feet long and nearly 200 feet tall, and Ruiz said it had a tendency to overshadow the planes inside.

“In some ways, the hangar kind of eats them up,” Ruiz said. “(In Madras) the planes are the star of the show, not the building.”

A handful of Erickson’s planes, including a B-17 bomber, were displayed at last year’s air show. This year’s incarnation will once again feature the B-17, but with an allnew paint job and a new name, “Madras Maiden,” to mark its move to Central Oregon. On

Thursday, the Erickson Group will host an invitation-only unveiling of the bomber with people who helped bring it and the other planes to Madras.

Ruiz said the museum is in the early stages of planning a new paint job for its P-38 Lightning to honor Rex Barber, a Culver-born fighter pilot who was at the controls of a P-38 when he shot down a plane carrying the commander of the Japanese navy in early 1943.

Barber flew a number of different P-38s during the war, Ruiz said, and researchers with the museum have been reviewing old photographs to select the

nose art that would best reflect Barber’s wartime experience.

Hours and days of operations for the new museum have not yet been determined, Ruiz said Thursday, but should be announced before the start of the air show.

Ruiz said that while he doesn’t know if Erickson is actively shopping for new planes to add to his collection, it is a definite possibility.

“I don’t think you can ever count Jack out of collecting planes. Very few people on this earth have owned more planes, bought and sold, than Jack Erickson,” he said.

Wesley Greig

March 9, 1930-August 16, 2014

Verna Vera Keyes

Wesley was born in Iron River, Michigan on March 9, 1930, and went to be with Jesus on August 16, 2014.

After attending local schools through his junior year, the family moved to Edm o n d s , Wa s h . w h e r e h e completed his senior year.

He also worked after school on the Edmonds-KingstonPort Ludlow ferry run, working in the galley.

In 1951 Wes was drafted into the Army and was stationed for two years in Manheim, Ger many. With his tour of duty completed, he returned to Edmonds, where he met his soon-to-be wife, Norma Betts. Their wedding took place 60 years, plus 10 days at the day of his passing.

Soon after marriage, Wes began his sheet metal apprenticeship training. His four years of training prepared him for a successful career in this field, until his retirement in 1988.

Hunting season was Wes’ most favorite time of year.

Getting all the gear together, and Norma packing the trailer with food and bedding, then, over the pass they would go. We usually had part of the family camping nearby, which made the trip even more fun. 4th of July at our Camano Island cabin was an annual family event for the past 50 years. We enjoyed motor home travel, which included trips with family to Canada for fishing, visiting family and friends in several states, even discovering a relative in New Brunswick! She and Wes are descendants of Norway’s fam o u s c o m p o s e r, E d v a r d Grieg.

Wes’ brothers, Lawrence Greig and Ellis ”Bud” Greig are both deceased; as are his sisters, Joyce Greig and Laura Dowell.

Wes’ gentle spirit is now in the presence of Jesus.

EDMONDS — A 38-year-old man was fatally electrocuted in a construction accident at Swedish/Edmonds hospital on Wednesday afternoon, according to Edmonds police.

The man was working with a compressed air tool in a ditch when the accident happened at 1:50 p.m., Sgt. Josh McClure said.

The crews were part of the hospital expansion project.

The accident knocked out power to about 900 people for about 35 minutes, according to the Snohomish County Public Utility District.

Officials initially said the accident involved a backhoe. The state Department of Labor and Industries also is investigating.

No additional details were released Wednesday.

Roundabout street work to affect Marysville traffic Herald staff MARYSVILLE — A roundabout is going in at the intersection of Highway 9 and 84th Street Northeast, and traffic is to be restricted and rerouted for more than a week.

Work was to start Thursday on a center island for the roundabout. The highway is expected to remain open for traffic in both directions. However, drivers cannot take any left turns at the intersection or cross the highway to stay on 84th Street. The restrictions are expected to remain in effect until Aug. 29.

Signs are to be posted for detours, according to the state Department of Transportation.

“In some cases, detours

will add more than 10 miles to a route and drivers are encouraged to adjust their plans to account for the extra travel time,” according to the department.

The roundabout is replacing a stoplight at the intersection. The state hopes to complete the project by the end of the month.

There were 43 crashes at the intersection between 2007 and 2012, according to the state.

The roundabout is part of a $16.8 million road project on Highway 9 that includes adding a stoplight to the intersection of Highway 9 and 32nd Street Southeast in Lake Stevens.

Blind mom sues Seattle schools Associated Press SEATTLE — A blind mother whose three children attend Seattle Public Schools is suing the district, saying its website and math software aren’t compatible with technology that blind people use to access the Internet. Noel Nightingale said that from 2005 to 2012 she was able to use the website with a device that vocalizes the information

on a computer screen or displays the content on a refreshable Braille display.

But in 2012, she says, changes to the website made it no longer compatible. The software that students use to complete math assignments wasn’t available either.

Seattle Public Schools did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment Wednesday afternoon.

3 bodies retrieved from Mt. Rainier They are believed to be among six climbers who fell to their deaths the last week in May Associated Press MT. RAINIER NATIONAL PARK — A helicopter equipped with a mechanical claw plucked the bodies of three climbers from a glacier on Mount Rainier, in the same area where six went missing in late May, the National Park Service said Wednesday.

A crew on a training flight spotted the bodies in an avalanche debris field Aug. 7 after they were exposed by melting snow, but the area, at the 9,500-foot level on the Carbon Glacier, was considered risky for a typical recovery operation.

Warm weather has led to more ice and rock falls as well as the opening of new crevasses, making it one of the most hazardous spots on the 14,410-foot volcano,

said park spokeswoman Patti Wold.

So instead, rangers teamed up with Olympia-based NorthWest Helicopters on Tuesday to use the mechanical grabber on loan from Denali National Park in Alaska. It was mounted at the end of 100-foot-long line, saving crews from having to lower a mountaineering ranger down to the glacier.

“It’s got three or four prongs that open and close,” Wold said. “Those games in the grocery store where you use the claw to grab the toys — it operates similar to that, but much bigger and more heavy duty.”

The six, all experienced mountaineers, included two guides and four climbers. They went missing

the last week of May on a technical, dangerous and little-used route up Liberty Ridge. Authorities believe they fell 3,300 feet.

The climbers had traveled from as far away as Singapore to ascend the glacial peak. Members of the group were Seattle-based Alpine Ascents International guides Matthew Hegeman and Eitan Green; Erik Britton Kolb, a finance manager at American Express, who had traveled from New York; Uday Marty, a vice president and managing director of Intel in Southeast Asia who was based in Singapore; Seattle mountain climber John Mullally; and Mark Mahaney, of St. Paul, Minnesota.

While the Park Service believes the

bodies recovered are those of members of the missing party, official confirmation will come from the Pierce County Medical Examiner’s Office, Wold said.

There was no sign of the other climbers during Tuesday’s operation.

Denali National Park commissioned a Eugene, Oregon, company called Heli-Tech to make the mechanical claw in 1995, according to a report from The Register-Guard newspaper. It’s similar to devices the company had made for logging, farming and other purposes, but with high-altitude adaptations.

It’s made of lighter-weight aluminum instead of steel and uses electric controls instead of gas-powered ones.

By Jeff Barnard Associated Press

KENT — Police in the south Seattle suburb of Kent say they have detained two men for questioning in the shooting deaths of two other men at a gas station.

The Wednesday morning shooting apparently followed an argument over blocking access to a pump.

It happened about 8:30 a.m. at a Shell service station.

Witnesses told KOMOTV that two men with music blaring had parked in a way that blocked other customers.

A Kent Fire Department spokesman, Kyle Ohashi, says medics from the city or a nearby King County station declared the victims dead at the scene.

Associated Press SEATTLE — King County prosecutors have filed a third aggravated murder count against a man also charged with murder in New Jersey, alleging the four killings are part of a “bloody crusade” to exact vengeance against the U.S. government for its foreign policies.

Prosecutors charged 29-year-old Ali Muhammad Brown on Wednesday with first-degree aggravated murder in the April 27 shooting of 30-year-old Leroy Henderson in Skyway, south of Seattle. Brown was earlier charged with aggravated murder in the June 1 shooting deaths of two young men in Seattle, Ahmed Said and Dwone Anderson-Young.

In early August in Newark, New Jersey, Brown pleaded not guilty to killing a college student on June 25 in that state. He’s held on $5 million bail.

the first time in 1996 to recover a climber who fell at the 16,000-foot level on Denali. It wasn’t immediately clear how many times it’s been used since. Denali mountaineering ranger Brandon Latham said Wednesday it hadn’t been used in the seven years he’s

been stationed there. Nor was he aware of it ever having been loaned out.

“They’re a very specialized tool that helps us perform an operation with the helicopter where otherwise putting a rescuer on the other end of the line would be too risky,” he said.

A 3-year-old grizzly named Roan figured out that a tree stump can be moved and stood upon at WSU’s Bear Research Education and Conservation Center in Pullman.

WSU grizzly smarter than the average bear Might use tools to steal your picnic basket

By Shanon Quinn The Moscow-Pullman Daily News

PULLMAN — It may no longer be good enough to hang your food in a tree to keep it away from bears when you go camping, according to a first-of-its-kind study at the Washington State University Bear Research Education and Conservation Center.

Some — but not all — grizzlies can use primitive tools to thwart your efforts, veterinary student Alex Waroff found this summer in an experiment assisted by Charlie Robbins, WSU bear center director,

and O. Lynne Nelson, assistant director and professor of cardiology at WSU’s Veterinary Teaching Hospital.

Nelson said the idea for the study came from a report in a peer-reviewed journal of “first tool use” by a brown bear in Alaska.

“The bear was observed to pick up a rock or shell and use it to scratch his face,” Nelson said. “Those of us who work with bears read the report and essentially said, ‘Really?

Is that the best you have?’”

Nelson said she, and others who work with bears, see evidence of

bears manipulating objects for a specific goal all the time — the definition of tool use.

“Of course, all of these observations are anecdote,” she said. “So we decided to put this problem-solving skill to standardized research protocol.”

The study’s participants are eight grizzly bears — five males and three females — who are challenged to get their paws on a glazed doughnut hung out of reach in their play area on the WSU campus.

Zachary Levi Brimhall called his father from the Coast Range in Southern Oregon on Monday to say his car had broken down and to ask for help. When Ray Brimhall arrived, his 34-year-old son shot him repeatedly, killing him.

“We think that was a complete ruse, to get Dad there,” Coos County District Attorney Paul Frasier said.

The bloodshed did not stop there.

The son then drove 50 miles to Bastendorff Beach near the city of Coos Bay, where in the early morning hours Tuesday he opened fire on multiple parked vehicles, killing David Jesse Hortman, 43, of Walker, Michigan, as he slept in his car. Hortman was touring the Oregon Coast after representing an Indiana recreational vehicle accessories company at a trade show.

As a final act, Brimhall shot and killed himself.

Inside Brimhall’s car, authorities found

shotguns, rifles, pistols, some large firecrackers known as seal bombs, and the makings for an improvised explosive device.

Officials say they don’t know what caused Zachary Brimhall to snap, or what he planned to do with the explosives. He left no suicide note.

“A lot of times in these cases, unless they left something in writing someplace or told somebody what they were planning on doing, it is really hard sometimes to find out the motivation for these things,” Frasier said.

Not much is known about Zachary Brimhall.

Frasier said he didn’t have a job, and lived with his parents in Dillard, a small town about 80 miles inland from the killing scene on Bastendorff Beach. His father worked at a wood products mill in Dillard.

Zachary Brimhall appears to have no criminal record.

Frasier said he knows of no signs of discord between Zachary Brimhall and his father. The weekend before the killings, Zachary Brimhall picnicked with his parents at a remote spot in the Coast Range and then stayed behind to camp while they returned home.

Hanford contractor told to rehire worker The company claims a whistleblower was not fired in retaliation.

Associated Press SEATTLE — A Hanford Nuclear Reservation contractor has been ordered to reinstate a worker who the U.S. Department of Labor says was fired for voicing concerns about nuclear and environmental safety, officials said Wednesday.

Richland-based Washington River Protection Solutions, a subsidiary of URS Corporation and Energy Solutions, was also ordered to pay $220,000 in back wages and other expenses.

The labor department said the contractor violated federal

whistleblower provisions.

The worker first blew the whistle on nuclear and environmental safety and permit and record-keeping violations in 2009, according to the labor department. The worker was fired two years later and reapplied for the job in 2012. The reason for the initial firing was “poor performance.”

“The people most able to identify hazards are often the workers who are threatened by them,” Galen Lemke, the labor department’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration acting regional administrator, said in a statement.

“Employees must never be punished for sounding an alarm when they see a See HANFORD, Page B2

So far, researchers have identified one bear — a 9-year-old female — who has become the star of the show.

an inanimate object in several steps to help her achieve a goal, which in this case is to obtain food.

The company is reviewing the labor department’s order and has not decided whether it will appeal before an administrative

law judge. “Each (Washington River Protection Solutions) employee is empowered and encouraged to raise safety or other workplace concerns,� the company stated.

The labor department did not name the employee, citing its policy on whistleblower cases.

Early Tuesday morning, police responding to 911 calls of shots fired at Bastendorff Beach found Hortman dead in the driver’s seat of his car, which had been hit by at least 15 shots fired from 100 yards away. One of the bullets hit Hortman in the side. They also found Zachary Brimhall dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in his car, an old AMC Pacer station wagon. Four other vehicles, three with people sleeping in them, were hit by 15 to 20 shots each, Frasier said. None of the people were hit.

Deputies went to inform Zachary Brimhall’s family of his death,

and to make sure he hadn’t killed anyone at home, Frasier said.

There his mother told them that her son had called his father for help, saying his car wouldn’t start, and the father had not come home. The last she saw of Zachary was at the weekend picnic.

When they got to the picnic spot, investigators found Ray Brimhall’s white SUV. They waited for the bomb squad to check it out due to the explosives found in his son’s car. They found Ray Brimhall’s body nearby. “He was shot multiple times, in excess of five times, probably in excess of 10,� Frasier said.

David Hortman’s family is trying to make sense of his death. “He was just enjoying the view of the beach and the sunset,� his niece,

Sarah Hudson, told the Grand Rapids Press. “We didn’t expect anything like this to happen.�

Hortman had told a co-worker at a recreation vehicle show in central Oregon that he was renting a car and taking a week off to drive the Oregon Coast, just looking at the ocean and sleeping in his car, Frasier said.

Hudson said her uncle was a technical writer for a recreational vehicle accessories manufacturer, working in Indiana during the week and returning to Michigan on weekends to care for his mother.

She said he was artistic, a “jokester� and a familyoriented man who loved to travel and appreciated the beauty of the shoreline, which may explain why he decided to sleep in his car.

Sounders, Earthquakes draw 1-1

By Don Ruiz The News Tribune

SEATTLE — The Seattle Sounders picked up a point Wednesday, which moved them into a threeway tie atop the Major League Soccer standings.

Yet the team’s locker room seemed like a wake, with player after player portraying the 1-1 draw with the San Jose Earthquakes as two points squandered far more than one point gained.

“You know San Jose treats it like a win, so we have to treat it like a

loss,” veteran Chad Barrett said.

“You use home games in this league to get out of slumps, help yourself get started. It would have been great to win. … Once we got the lead I thought we were going to carry it out for the three points; so definitely two points dropped.”

Barrett had put Seattle ahead early in the second half with the 50th goal of his MLS career. Chris Wondolowski equalized for the Quakes in the 65th minute.

Playing their fourth game in 11 days, the Sounders went with a mix-and-match lineup of

regulars and reserves. But when that lineup couldn’t shake the Quakes, coach Sigi Schmid eventually sent on usual starters such as Clint Dempsey, Brad Evans and Lamar Neagle.

Senior quarterback Malik Rackliff prepares to catch the snap during practice at Cascade High School on Aug. 20. The Bruins, 9-2 a year ago, are looking to build on 2013’s success.

Bruins’ mandate: ‘Finish the fight’ Cascade players vow that their team’s success will continue.

By David Krueger Herald Writer

EVERETT — Thanks to an offseason hike up Mt. Pilchuck, Cascade High’s football seniors and their interim coach already have been to the top of the mountain.

Now, they’re trying to lead their team back.

Hip no longer bothering Seahawks wide receiver Herald Writer

RENTON — As a standout at the University of Florida, then in the NFL, Percy Harvin has for a long time been considered one of the most explosive players in football.

But here’s a scary thought for opposing NFL defenses: what if the Harvin who was an MVP candidate halfway through the 2012 season, and the Harvin who returned a kickoff for a touchdown in the Super Bowl last year, what if that wasn’t the best

version of Harvin?

What if the Seahawks receiver is even faster and more elusive than the player who was already considered one of the NFL’s best big-play threats?

According to Harvin, that will be the case in 2014. After missing almost all of last season following hip surgery, Harvin says he’s feeling better than he has since “maybe before college.”

Harvin said the same thing during offseason workouts, so that by itself See HARVIN, Page C5

Much optimism as Silvertips check in

Harvin says he’s faster, more elusive than ever

By John Boyle

Interim coach Eric Dinwiddie and the rest of the Cascade coaching staff remained and are hoping to continue Cascade’s improvement.

Losing Cronin was “heartbreaking,” senior tight end/linebacker Hamilton Kendrick said, but added, “we’re a team built on adversity.

“We play through the problems. We’ve had to deal with a lot problems. We came back from 0-23. I don’t know a team that had more adversity than we’ve had. We’ve had to deal with a lot and we can stand it.”

EVERETT — The Everett Silvertips took a big step forward during the 2013-14 season.

But despite the progress, the Tips aren’t satisfied, and they’re determined to keep the momentum moving forward.

Everett opens training camp for the 2014-15 season Thursday morning at Comcast Arena, and the team is looking to build upon the foundation put in place a season ago.

“I’m very excited,” Everett general manager Garry Davidson said Wednesday as the players checked in for camp.

“I like the way we finished last year and the way we played as a team. I think we have a real good core of returning players.

“We have an experienced goaltender, we have experienced defensemen and we have a large number of forwards returning, so that’s a real positive. I also think See TIPS, Page C4

Stewart to sit out 3rd straight race Associated Press CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Tony Stewart will not race Saturday night at Bristol Motor Speedway, the third Sprint Cup race he’s skipped since his car struck and killed Kevin Ward Jr. during a sprint car race.

Stewart’s decision was announced Wednesday and Jeff Burton will once again replace him in the No. 14 Chevrolet. Burton also drove Stewart’s car at Michigan last weekend.

Stewart-Haas Racing is allowing Stewart to take the time he needs away from the track, and the team statement indicated the three-time NASCAR champion is taking it week-by-week.

Stewart will not have to decide on another race until the Aug. 31 event at Atlanta.

Stewart has been in seclusion since the Aug. 9 incident at an upstate New York dirt track.

He has not commented since he issued a statement the day after Ward’s death.

None of Stewart’s peers has spoken to the driver since the accident.

WAYNE KRUSE

T

he salmon fishing spotlight this week is still on the record run of fall chinook headed up the Columbia River, including charter action out of Ilwaco, the madhouse at buoy 10 and river fishing up to the Astoria bridge and beyond.

But if you’re interested, get right on it — state biologist Joe Hymer in Vancouver said right now is historically the peak of the fall king run at the mouth of the Columbia.

The buoy 10 fishery was good over the weekend, putting out a nice mix of chinook and coho, Hymer said, at better than a king per boat, but very crowded and with lines at the launches in Ilwaco and Chinook.

Ocean fishing out of Ilwaco was, if anything, better than that in the river. State Fish and Wildlife Department coastal creel sampling coordinator Wendy Beeghley said charters are still coming in early with limits all around, mostly coho, averaging 4 or 5 pounds but with a good percentage of larger fish to 12 pounds or so. The average catch last week was in the 1.6- or 1.7-fish-per-person range for charter anglers, Beeghley said.

Longtimer Milt Gudgel at Pacific Salmon Charters in Ilwaco (1-800-831-2695) said “I’m tuckered. It’s wild down here, crazy. Everybody’s getting fish, literally, with limits the rule rather than the exception.

I had 11 people on Monday, and we were back at the dock by 8:15 with full limits. And that included a chinook of 26 pounds and a couple of coho pushing 10 pounds.”

Gudgel said between 10 and 40 percent of the charter catch last week was composed of chinook, depending on the boat and the area it fished. Most boats were working 45 feet of water, about a mile and a half off Long Beach.

A charter trip for salmon out of Ilwaco is going for $115 plus tax, per person, and Gudgel said

PICK OF THE WEEK | Family time at Potholes Reservoir

Outdoor calendar

Air temperatures in the Columbia Basin are no longer over the century mark, making it more comfortable these days for man and beast. Or man and fish, if you’re talking about Potholes Reservoir.

Potholes offers arguably the best mixed-species fishery in the state, and the fish are starting to bulk up for winter as water temperatures cool. That makes it a great family time on the popular Grant County reservoir, according to Mike Meseberg, owner of MarDon Resort.

Family-friendly species such as yellow perch, crappie and yellow bullheads (“catfish”) are on the bite and providing limits of great table fare every day.

Perch are averaging 8 inches, with more than a few going up to

A 12-week Boating Skills and Seamanship Class begins Sept.

16 in the auxiliary classrom at Chuck Olson Chevrolet in Shoreline (17037 Aurora Avenue North). The class meets from 7-9 p.m. on Tuesdays. It’s for both novice and experienced boaters and meets the educational requirements for a state boaters card. The cost is $55 for one person or $75 for two people sharing a book.

after the salmon fishery dies down, charters fish tuna and bottomfish.

Ilwaco is a little farther away than Westport, but it’s an interesting town, and if you’ve never visited Long Beach, just up the coast, it’s worth the trip in itself.

The Port of Ilwaco will field questions about charters at 360-642-3143.

Lake Wenatchee sockeye Probably another week or so for decent sockeye fishing in Lake Wenatchee, not because of a lack of fish, but because many are now on the dark side. State biologist Travis Maitland said a huge number of salmon — somewhere in the range of 96,000 fish — have been counted over Tumwater Dam on the Wenatchee River, headed for the lake. Maitland said that after Labor Day, many of the sockeye will be moving to tributary streams, and fishing pressure will drop off quickly.

“There are still a pretty fair number of fishermen on the lake,” Maitland said, “and they are still finding sockeye in good shape by catching and releasing the dark ones.”

He estimates the recreational harvest on the lake at about 12,000 to 13,000 fish. Most anglers are trolling at about 15 to 20 feet deep early in the morning, then going to 50 or 60 feet, but still finding fish as deep as 80 feet.

“The fishery this year has been a little unusual,” he said. “Most years, the fish move right up the lake and hold off the two tributary rivers, and the fishermen follow them. This year, guys are taking sockeye halfway up the lake and at a lot of other places closer to the south end launch.

That’s probably because it’s such a large run, with fish all over.”

Tiger Muskie record David Hickman of Richland set a state tiger muskie record on July 26

13 inches, and are being caught a lot of different places. One of the best spots is in 11 feet of water off the edges of the sand dunes on the lake’s northern end, Meseberg said.

Crappie are biting morning and evening off the resort docks, with lots of the attractive fish averaging 10 inches and with the occasional trophy to 14 inches and 2 pounds.

“That’s a big crappie,” Meseberg said.

A bobber/jig rig will take most of these fish. Potholes experts recommend tipping the jig with a maggot or a piece of nightcrawler.

For more information, visit mardonresort.com or call 1-800-416-2736.

— Wayne Kruse while fishing Curlew Lake in Ferry County. Hickman’s jumbo tiger weighed 37.88 pounds and measured 50.38 inches in length. It blew the previous record out of the water, so to speak, beating by 6 pounds the fish caught by John Bays of Chehalis, who was fishing Mayfield Lake, Lewis County, in 2001. Curlew is a big, multi-species lake lying about 5 miles northeast of Republic.

Hickman was using a white spinnerbait, according to John Easterbrooks of the state Department of Fish and Wildlife in Yakima.

The tiger muskie is a sterile cross of muskellunge and northern pike, reaching weights of 50 pounds or better in the upper Midwest. The fish has been introduced to several lakes in Washington to both provide a top gamefish for sport fishermen, and as a big-time predator to help eliminate trash fish species from certain waters. Since the fish is sterile, there’s no danger of it escaping its targeted home into areas where it’s not supposed to be.

Walleye Paul Hoffarth, a state biologist in the Columbia Basin, said walleye fishing on the Columbia and Snake rivers has been excellent this summer and is expected to remain strong throughout August and into September. Hoffarth said that “walleye really tie on the feedbag when fall comes around, so we can expect to see some more great fishing in the weeks ahead.”’

The best action has been in Lake Umatilla, Hoffarth said, the 67-milelong pool between John Day and McNary dams, as well as the water immediately upstream of McNary.

But an interesting stretch of water which has come on just the last several years, is the Hanford Reach, upriver from the Tri-Cities.

“It’s a little faster flow than a lot of walleye spots,” Hoffarth said, “so it tends to be fished less. They’ve been taking some nice fish out of that area, though, occasionally to 7 or 8

pounds.”

Most walleye fishermen use a bottom walker with a worm harness, or blade baits, and they work the current seams, Hoffarth said.

Launch at Ringold, the Tri Cities, White Bluffs, or Vernita. The Vernita launch will put you above Coyote Rapids and an easy run to the good walleye water below Priest Rapids Dam. There is no minimum size limit and no limit on the number of walleye you can keep upstream of the Washington-Oregon border, 17 miles upstream of McNary Dam. Below the state line there is a daily limit of 10 fish, only five of which can be over 18 inches and only one over 24 inches.

Combination trips to Hanford Reach could involve walleye, a big run of “upriver bright” fall chinook, and good smallmouth bass fishing.

Hunting regs The state is seeking comments on proposed alternatives for 2015-17 hunting seasons, and has scheduled several meetings this month to discuss the proposals with the public.

The closest one to us is scheduled for Aug. 26 at the Holiday Inn in downtown Everett (3105 Pine Street, Everett Ballroom 2). Issues currently under consideration by the department are spring and fall black bear seasons; early archery elk seasons; modern firearm mule deer seasons; hunting equipment, including non-toxic ammunition, expandable broadheads, and crossbows; special permit drawings; and baiting big game.

The alternatives have been posted on department’s website, http:// wdfw.wa.gov/hunting/regulations/ seasonsetting/, where the public can also post comments. The state will accept comments on the alternatives through Sept. 20.

LITTLE LEAGUE WORLD SERIES | Roundup

Las Vegas beats Davis, Pennsylvania 8-1 at LLWS Associated Press SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. — Dallan Cave and Brennan Holligan hit two-run homers, lefty reliever Austin Kryszczuk got out of two big jams, and Las Vegas beat Philadelphia and star pitcher Mo’ne Davis 8-1 in the Little League World Series on Wednesday night.

The win puts Las Vegas in Saturday’s U.S. title game and sends Philadelphia into an elimination game on Thursday night against Chicago’s Jackie Robinson team.

The Great Lakes champion beat Pearland, Texas 6-1 on Tuesday night in an elimination game.

Davis, the darling of the sports world with her amazing success and poise, was both masterful and ordinary on a night made short because of pitchcount rules. She allowed three runs and six hits and struck out six in 21⁄3 innings before leaving after 55 pitches. That makes her eligible to pitch again in the U.S. championship game on

Sounders From Page C1

Even they couldn’t produce the game-winner down the final hectic minutes, however, and the slumping Sounders settled for a draw with the eighth-place team in the Western Conference before a home crowd of 38,909.

“It’s just resting people,” Schmid said. “Evans felt he was better, but we felt it would be too much to push him in this game too early. Dempsey, like I said, he’s been going all year; we’ve got to find him little breaks here

Unfazed, Davis struck out the side, getting Holligan looking and Brad Stone and Andrew Matulich swinging.

After reaching back for something extra to get out of that first-inning jam, Davis sputtered again. Cave slammed a two-run shot to left-center, a liner that just cleared the fence for a 3-0 lead.

Las Vegas tacked on five runs in the top of the sixth, keyed by an RBI double by Hare and Holligan’s homer.

South Korea 4, Japan 2

Saturday.

Davis played first after her stint on the mound and was switched to right field in the top of the sixth.

Davis allowed hits to the first

two batters as Philadelphia fell behind. Leadoff hitter Zach Hare lofted a soft single to center and Kryszczuk followed with a resounding triple to right center for a 1-0 lead.

SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. — Jae Yeong Hwang hit a go-ahead home run in the sixth inning, and South Korea held off Japan to advance.

South Korea moves on to Saturday’s International Championship game where it will face the winner of Thursday’s elimination game between Japan and Mexico.

On a 1-2 pitch, Hwang hit a solo shot to right field. Hwang also pitched the bottom of the sixth for South Korea, earning the save and sealing the win.

and there or else we’re going to burn him out completely. I thought he came on and did some good things for us.”

Dempsey admitted the reduced minutes were appreciated.

“I’m feeling tired,” he said.

“I’ve been going non-stop since December, really. So that’s why I was rested today, just trying to get my legs back under me and try to feel a little bit energized.

Hopefully we can figure out a way to manage that and get back to feeling good again.”

Seattle controlled the run of play most of the way, and seemed to become particularly dangerous in the closing

minutes of the first half. Then they struck in the first minutes of the second half, when Obafemi Martins rolled a pass up the middle of the field to Barrett, who finished from the top of the penalty area.

“Great ball by Oba,” Barrett said. “Good finish. And it was great to get the 50th, but that’s something you think about at the end of the career. Right now, three points is really all you want.”

San Jose prevented that 19 minutes later, when former Sounder Cordell Cato juked DeAndre Yedlin into the penalty area and sent a pass across to the far post, where Chris

Wondolowski knocked it in.

“It was more the defender than me,” Cato said. “He dropped off and allowed me the space, so I did what you’re supposed to do: keep it in the box.”

The Sounders (13-7-3) return to league play at 2 p.m. Sunday at Portland.

“Some draws you come out feeling pretty good about them, and some you feel just a bit depleted,” Seattle midfielder Andy Rose said. “Unfortunately tonight we probably let two points slip. It falls into that category. We have to pick ourselves up now: obviously a big week ahead of us.”

McClendon’s hunch of the day pays off

TONIGHT’S GAME

Eugene at Everett, 7:05 p.m.

Radio: KRKO (1380 AM) Probable starting pitchers: Everett TBD vs. right-hander Logan Jerrigan (0-4, 6.00 ERA)

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

PHILADELPHIA — As hunches go, Seattle Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon had a pretty good day. (Not that it mattered, ultimately, in Wednesday’s 4-3 loss to Philadelphia at Citizens Bank Park.)

McClendon opted to start Logan Morrison in right field in a shift from previous plans to rest Morrison, who had started the previous 17 games.

“He’s actually got pretty decent numbers against (Phillies lefty Cole Hamels),” McClendon said prior to the game. “Hopefully, it pays off. That’s the hunch of the day.”

Morrison responded by making a web-gem catch on a Hamels two-out liner in the second inning, which saved a run. Morrison also had a single and an RBI double in two at-bats against Hamels.

Another McClendon hunch: Endy Chavez was 1-for-27 against left-handers when inserted as a pinch-hitter with two outs in the sixth inning against Phillies lefty Jake Diekman.

Chavez doubled to left.

Postseason tickets The Mariners have permission from Major League Baseball to begin selling tickets for possible postseason games.

Season-ticket holders have priority for the initial sales and can purchase full or partial strips of tickets, depending on their plan.

Those who make a $500 deposit toward 2015 season tickets will also get priority. The deadline for doing so is Sept. 22.

The Mariners will announce plans for the sale of single-game postseason tickets at a later date.

Following a loss If one measure of a big-time starter is his ability to get his club turned in a positive direction, then consider: Hisashi Iwakuma turned in eight scoreless innings Tuesday in a 5-2 victory over the Phillies after the Mariners lost the series opener. Iwakuma is now 6-3 in starts following a loss.

And that’s the poorest mark among the Mariners’ top three starters.

Felix Hernandez is 8-2 after a loss, and Chris Young is 6-2 after a loss.

Hernandez will get another opportunity Friday in Boston.

Bullpen leakage The Mariners’ bullpen patched some recent leaks by working four scoreless innings after James Paxton departed. That halted a string of five straight games in which the relief corps surrendered at least one run.

The recent slide bumped the bullpen’s ERA from a record pace of 2.34 to 2.45. The American League record for a bullpen ERA over a complete season in the designated hitter era (post-1973) is 2.35 by the 1990 A’s.

The bullpen previously had a 10game run of allowing at least one run that spanned the eight-game losing streak in April, and a seven-game streak that included the first six games after the All-Star break.

M’s give one away Down 3-1, error, wild pitch help Phils rally to win 4-3

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

PHILADELPHIA — James Paxton compounded the shortest and worst outing of his 10-start career Wednesday with a costly throwing error — and the result was the first loss of his career.

Paxton’s troubles also included a cross-up with catcher Jesus Sucre, which resulted in a passed ball, and highlighted a frustrating afternoon for the Mariners in a 4-3 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park.

The throwing error and passed ball each came in a three-run fourth inning that wiped out a two-run lead.

“It came down to making that throw to first,” Paxton said.

“That cost us today, and that can’t happen.”

The Mariners actually let two early leads slip away and failed to punish Phillies starter Cole Hamels, who wasn’t much better than Paxton in throwing 99 pitches in five innings.

Hamels (7-6) gave up three runs, nine hits and threw two wild pitches before handing a one-run lead to the bullpen which, in contrast, was air-tight in protecting the onerun lead over the final four innings.

Jake Diekman breezed through the sixth and seventh.

Ken Giles worked around a two-out double in eighth by striking out the side. Jonathan Papelbon pitched a scoreless ninth for his 30th save in 33 chances.

“I felt like we gave the game away,” right fielder Logan Morrison said. “We had opportunities early. Errors and passed balls or wild pitches — whatever they were — gave them four runs.”

The loss dropped the Mariners (68-58) to one game behind Detroit in the battle for the American League’s final wild-card berth. The Tigers defeated the Rays 6-0 Wednesday night at Tampa Bay. Paxton (3-1) was 6-0 with a

1.88 ERA in his nine previous career starts, but he squandered two early leads while giving up four runs and seven hits in just four innings.

Three runs were unearned due to his own throwing error in a three-run fourth. The Phillies led 4-3 when Tom Wilhelmsen replaced Paxton to start the fifth inning.

And that’s how it ended.

Paxton had not pitched less than 41⁄3 innings in any previous start — and that previous low was Aug. 2 in Baltimore in his first outing after spending nearly four months on the disabled list because of a strained back muscle.

Further, he had never yielded more than three runs before Wednesday.

“His pitch count got up,” manager Lloyd McClendon said. “I didn’t think he struggled early. I thought he was really making some pretty good pitches. They just put some good at-bats on him.

“Things just got away from him in the one inning. He threw the ball away, and he crossed the catcher up. Those things happen. It’s part of the growing pains.”

The Mariners grabbed a 1-0 lead when Kendrys Morales led off the second inning with a 430-foot homer to dead center on a 3-1 fastball.

Paxton escaped threats in the first two innings but failed to do so in the third after Jimmy Rollins drove a one-out double to left center, and Chase Utley followed with a walk.

Ryan Howard flied to left, but Marlon Byrd sent a broken-bat blooper to right for a two-out RBI single.

The Mariners answered immediately.

Kyle Seager started the fourth with a walk before the Mariners caught a break when third baseman Andres Blanco threw wide to second in trying to turn Chris Denorfia’s grounder into a force out.

The play ended with runners on first and third. The scoring credited Denorfia with a single

and assessed Blanco with an error for permitting Seager to reach third.

Morrison followed with an RBI double to left-center field for a 2-1 lead before the Mariners ran themselves into an out. Denorfia broke for home on an apparent squeeze play, but Jesus Sucre didn’t offer at the ball.

Denorfia was an easy out.

Everything suggested Sucre missed a sign, but McClendon said only: “Fact is, it didn’t go right. It makes no difference who screwed up or who did what. It was a screwed-up play.”

Sucre singled to right, which moved Morrison to third. Sucre took second on Paxton’s sacrifice before the Mariners got another gift when Hamels bounced a run-scoring wild pitch past catcher Wil Nieves.

The Mariners led 3-1.

Paxton gave it right back ... and more.

Nieves started the Phillies fourth with a single to center before Blanco sent a sharp hopper back to the box. The ball struck Paxton on a cleat of his left shoe, but he recovered in plenty of time for a play at first.

But Paxton threw the ball into right field for a two-base error that put runners at second and third with no outs. Next came the passed ball, which scored Nieves and moved Blanco to third.

Paxton said the passed ball occurred because he “misssaw” the number of fingers that Sucre put down for the pitch.

Hamels struck out, but Ben Revere tied the game with an RBI grounder to short.

Rollins then reached on an infield single and went to second on a wild pitch, which enabled him to score on Utley’s check-swing single to right. The Phillies led 4-3.

“I thought that was a pretty good pitch,” Paxton said. “I could have buried it a little bit more, but there’s not much you can do when a guy throws his bat at the ball, and it gets in there. That happens.”

M’s Zunino leads AL in hit by pitch

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

PHILADELPHIA — Seattle Mariners catcher Mike Zunino got most of the game off Wednesday, which provided an opportunity to avoid yet another set of bruises.

Zunino was hit by a pitch for the 14th time this season in Tuesday’s victory over the Phillies. That leads the league and drew him closer to Jose Guillen’s club-record of 19 set in 2007.

“You’ve got to lead in something, right?” Zunino said. “I must lead in the ones I can’t get out of the way of. That one (Tuesday) was coming right at me. I felt any way I moved on that one, I was going to get hit.”

Zunino was hit on the elbow in the sixth inning by Philadelphia starter A.J. Burnett.

“What can you do about it?”

Zunino asked. “Ugly-finder, I guess.”

Zunino got even in his next at-bat when he grounded a

two-run single through the left side with two outs in the eighth inning. That knocked Burnett out of the game.

It also provide the Mariners with some insurance runs in what turned into a 5-2 victory when the Phillies scored twice in the ninth inning.

Zunino entered Wednesday’s game as a pinch runner for Jesus Sucre in the eighth inning and remained in the game defensively in the bottom of the inning.

EVERETT — Designated hitter James Alfonso hit a two-out, two-run home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to break a 1-1 tie and lift the Everett AquaSox to a 3-1 win over the Eugene Emeralds in a Northwest League game on Wednesday night at Everett Memorial Stadium.

Adam Martin led off the bottom of the ninth with a single, and with two outs Alfonso launched his second home run of the season over the left-field fence to win the game.

Everett (12-15 second half, 23-42 overall) starter Ryan Yarbrough pitched four shutout innings, allowing just two hits and striking out six. The lefthander extended his scoreless innings streak to 192⁄3.

The Emeralds opened the scoring in the top of the fifth inning.

Everett reliever Brett Ash hit the first batter he faced, then promptly issued two straight walks to load the bases. Jose Ruiz grounded into a double play, but a run scored to give Eugene a 1-0 lead.

Everett tied the game at 1-1 in the bottom of the seventh thanks to two errors by Eugene shortstop Franchy Cordero, the second of which allowed Martin to score from second base on a grounder from Kyle Petty.

Oak Harbor High School alum Yale Rosen went 0-for-1 with three walks, one intentional, for Eugene (12-15, 27-38).

Giants win first protest in MLB since 1986 Associated Press CHICAGO — The San Francisco Giants on Wednesday became the first team since 1986 to win a protest filed with Major League Baseball, and will now get to resume a rain-shortened game the Chicago Cubs thought they had won.

MLB executive Joe Torre ruled on Tuesday night’s game at Wrigley Field that was called after 41⁄2 innings. The Cubs were declared the winners by a 2-0 score.

Now, it is instead a suspended game that will resume at 1:05 p.m. PDT Thursday with the Cubs batting in the bottom of the fifth. The playoff-contending Giants and Chicago have a regularly scheduled game set to begin three hours later.

A short rainstorm caused a delay of more than 41⁄2 hours Tuesday after the grounds crew couldn’t put the tarp down quickly. The umpires said the field was unplayable and called it at 1:16 a.m. MLB ruled that tarp had not been properly put away after its previous use.

Tips From Page C1 there’s a number of players off our list who are going to challenge for spots.”

Everett is coming off its best season in four years.

The Tips, with Kevin Constantine returning to the bench for his second stint as head coach, finished last season 39-23-7-3, which tied Everett for second place in the U.S. Division and fourth place in the Western Conference. The 88 points the Tips earned were 31 better than the previous season and 21 better than Everett achieved in any of the previous three seasons, when the Tips finished eighth in the conference on each occasion.

However, Everett was eliminated in the first round of the playoffs for the seventh consecutive year, losing its best-of-seven series against Seattle in five games.

“Our team has a bitter taste in its mouth after the

end of last year,” Everett overage center Kohl Bauml said. “You can tell everyone has the mindset that this is a year to win. I think everyone’s really excited for this year. I know I am, and talking to all the guys they are, too. It’ll be a good year.”

Everett’s returning players, as well as the prospects on the Tips’ 50-player protected list, checked in Wednesday afternoon.

Those who received invitations to try out check in Thursday morning prior to the first on-ice session of camp, which begins at 10:30 a.m. at Comcast Arena. More than 70 players, grouped into four teams, will be taking part in practices and scrimmages over the four days of camp.

Camp concludes with the Green vs. Grey intrasquad game Sunday at 3 p.m. All on-ice sessions are open to the public free of charge.

Most of Everett’s veterans arrived back in town early and have been getting a running start, taking part in informal skates.

“I’m excited to get back

to the rink and play with the guys who have been here the past couple days,” Tips overage defenseman Ben Betker said. “It will be exciting to get things moving here. The skates are fun.

It’s interesting to see if anybody got better, and most of us have, it seems. So far, so good.”

There was one prominent veteran who did not check in Wednesday.

Mirco Mueller, the team’s top defenseman who was selected in the first round of the 2013 NHL draft by the San Jose Sharks, is heading directly to San Jose for the Sharks’ camp. There’s a chance Mueller, a 19-yearold from Switzerland, will make San Jose’s roster this season. If he doesn’t, he’ll return to Everett. “(Mueller) has a couple other things he’s committed to having to do, Player’s Association meetings and such, so he won’t be here,” Davidson said. “We may or may not see him again in a Tips uniform. Time will tell on that.”

Another player who was absent Wednesday was

Alexander Zhebelev. The 17-year-old Russian forward, who was selected by Everett in this year’s import draft, has not committed to playing for the Tips.

Davidson said it’s still possible Zhebelev, who just finished playing for Russia at the U-18 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, will come play for Everett this season. He is deciding between playing for the Tips or for Admiral Vladivostok of the KHL. One player who will be attending camp is goaltender Dayton Rasmussen.

The 16-year-old from Minnesota is one of the top goaltenders in the country in his age group, having recently represented the U.S. at the U-17 Five Nations Tournament in Germany. He’s not scheduled to arrive in Everett until Friday, but is expected to take part in on-ice sessions beginning Saturday.

Of Everett’s 15 picks in this year’s bantam draft, 10 are taking part in camp, including the team’s firstround pick, defenseman

Jantzen Leslie. Forwards Nick Henry (third round) and Brian King (fourth round) are unable to participate because of injuries.

Defensemen Nate Knoepke (ninth round), Matt Anderson (10th round) and Reid Hill (11th round), all of whom are from Minnesota and are strong candidates to play NCAA hockey rather than in the WHL, chose not to attend. Players selected in this year’s bantam draft are not eligible to play full-time for Everett until the 2015-16 season.

As for the upcoming season, scoring is the area Everett needs to address if it wants to improve upon last season. The Tips are set in goal with threeyear veteran Austin Lotz firmly entrenched as the No. 1 netminder, and if Mueller returns, Everett is well-stocked on defense.

But the Tips lost a huge chunk of their goal scoring to graduation as Joshua Winquist, Matt Pufahl, Jujhar Khaira and Manraj Hayer were four of Everett’s top-five scorers.

discussion about that,” Davidson said. “We’ve lost a lot of offense with graduating players and we were challenged at times to score last year. I think we played hard, competed hard and created a lot of scoring chances, but we needed to put a few more pucks in the net. I believe in this group we’ve got some players who in the past at other levels have been very successful offensively. So it’s their time and their chance.

“I also met with our coaching staff last week and we talked extensively about trying to work hard on our offensive game and improving our skill level,” Davidson continued. “We all realize we’ve lost a great portion of our goals from last year, so this is a good challenge for these young guys to step up, take the bull by the horns and contribute in that area.”

TYLER TJOMSLAND / SPOKESMAN-REVIEW

Washington State freshman receiver Calvin Green (center) is expected to see playing time this season for the Cougars.

Several freshmen have chance to play for Cougars

By Jacob Thorpe The Spokesman-Review

PULLMAN — Redshirting freshmen — having them sit their first year in exchange for a fifth-year of eligibility — is often considered a sign of a healthy program. After all, it is in effect trading a player’s worst season for their best one.

However, if no true freshmen play than a school probably isn’t recruiting enough high-impact guys. There is no benefit to having a player sit out if he is going to leave for the NFL before his fifth season.

Still, a program should redshirt more players than not, giving young guys a year in the weight room and to adjust to college life.

In head coach Mike Leach’s first season at Washington State the Cougars played nine true freshmen, and won three games.

Last season they played just five first-year players and won six.

We won’t know for sure how many freshmen will play this season until its conclusion, but here are six candidates to play early.

Calvin Green, wide receiver, 5-10, 170 It’s amazing how quickly Green picked up the nuances of playing wide receiver considering he played running back in a Wing-T offense in high school. Still, Green established himself as one of the better route runners on the team when

he enrolled early for spring practice. He’s also one of WSU’s fastest players, and as he gets more comfortable in what he’s doing that speed becomes more apparent.

Green is certain to play this season — he’s already listed as the No. 2 H receiver behind Rickey Galvin — and will see the field plenty this fall.

Jordan Dascalo, punter, 6-1, 180 Whether or not Dascalo emerges as the starting punter, it seems a virtual certainty that he will play sometime this season.

While he’s still picking up some of punting’s fine points, he has an undeniably big leg. He punts further and with more hang time than Wes Concepcion, but lacks the junior’s consistency.

Marcellus Pippins, cornerback, 5-10, 163 The Cougars need all hands on deck in the secondary, and Pippins arrived in the spring, giving himself a leg up in the race to contribute. The coaches threw a lot at Pippins early and he seemed to respond well, matching the occasional busted coverage with an eye-popping interception.

His athleticism is undeniable and he figures to factor heavily in special teams as a return man.

Pat Porter, cornerback, 5-9, 163 There is room for more than one cornerback to play early (in fact there is room for three, but we’ll get to that) and Porter

didn’t make the trip all the way from Tuscaloosa, Ala., to sit and watch. Porter saw lots of reps with the twos and even a few with the ones throughout fall camp.

He looked lost early on but has steadily improved and may have even overtaken Pippins on the depth chart.

Sulaiman Hameed, safety, 5-10, 180 The depth at safety is better than cornerback, but it’s also been tested by injury, with both Isaac Dotson and Darius Lemora spending some time in a yellow no-contact jersey. Hameed came into camp as a cornerback but was quickly moved into the void at safety thanks to his physical play. He played well and while both Dotson and Lemora are back, it seems likely that Hameed will find his way onto the field this fall.

Jeff Farrar, cornerback, 5-11, 196 If Farrar had made it to fall camp it seems highly likely that he would be playing this fall. However, Farrar originally signed with Virginia out of high school before making his way to Pullman. He’s only had two practices in pads but has played well in coverage and hasn’t shied away from physical situations. While Farrar is probably destined for a redshirt year, if he’s caught up after a few games the coaches may decide he gives them the best chance to win moving forward.

Huskies have depth at kicker, punter

By Christian Caple The News Tribune

SEATTLE — The only complaint that could be lodged against Travis Coons last season was that he was only one person.

The Huskies would have preferred him to be three. Or at least two.

But as it was, Coons alone handled each of the UW’s kicking duties— place-kicking, punts and, by midseason, kickoffs.

And he handled them well, earning second-team All-Pac-12 recognition for his punting and converting 15 of his 16 fieldgoal attempts.

First-year UW coach Chris Petersen last week referred to Coons as “an unsung hero,” despite the fact he never coached him.

So while the Huskies are not fortunate that Coons graduated and is now competing for the starting kicker job with the Tennessee Titans, they do seem to be fortunate to have a few different players— instead of just one— capable of kicking and punting in 2014.

As it stands now, sophomore Cameron Van Winkle has a strong hold on the placekicking job, and will kickoff some, too.

UW’s ideal scenario, special-teams coordinator Jeff Choate said, would be to have freshman Tristan Vizcaino help handle kickoffs, especially in high-scoring games.

And junior Korey Durkee has punted the ball well enough throughout fall camp to lay claim to that position, with Vizcaino providing competition behind him.

“For us to be able to take a little bit off the plate of each one of those guys and let them focus on their specialty, I think that’s going to be beneficial for us this season,”

Choate said.

Of course, Coons didn’t start last season with all three jobs. Van Winkle, a scholarship player from Mount Si High School, handled the kickoff duties in the Huskies’ first five games. But a back injury ended his season.

It was bad enough, Van Winkle admits, that he couldn’t help but think sometimes whether the injury might end his career.

“But I trusted in the staff here,” he said.

“They knew what they were doing. All that rehab helped out a lot.”

He was able to practice in spring, though coaches took it easy on him to ensure a full recovery. Then he emerged during training camp as the Huskies’ best field-goal kicker.

“He’s been very consistent, especially over the last week, week and a half of practice, coming off the back (injury),” Choate said. “He’s had really no issues with that at all.”

Consistency from 40 yards and in has been an emphasis. Van Winkle explained that most field goals are kicked from that range, so most of his practice attempts are taken between 30 and 40 yards.

But he says he’s still got enough leg to boot it farther if need be. The other day, he said, the Huskies lined up for a 57-yard field goal in order to give the cover team a look at returning a field goal that comes up short of the back line of the end zone.

“I missed it by like a yard, against the wind,” Van Winkle said.

Durkee hasn’t punted since his freshman season in 2012, but his leg strength shouldn’t be an issue; he boomed a kick during last week’s open scrimmage that he estimates traveled 75 yards in the

air. Petersen’s teams have often implemented unique punting methods, such as rugby-style kicks on the move, and that’s something Durkee says he began working on last season.

And he said he’s starting to develop a good on-field rapport with Van Winkle as the team’s holder for field goals and PATs. Durkee did that last year, too.

So the Huskies will, essentially, replace Coons’ 2013 workload with three different players. Because if they score a bunch of points— and judging by their nonconference schedule, they should— Choate would prefer to give Van Winkle a break.

“If we’re fortunate enough to get a lead or get a bunch of points on the board, we don’t really want him kicking off seven, eight times a game,” Choate said. “That’s what really tears those guys up, especially a guy with his history of back injury.

“We want to make sure that we are smart and manage him because he’s done a nice job as our place kicker and we want to be able to put points on the board, and Tristan’s certainly capable of going out and executing for us on kickoff.”

Huskies schedule Michigan, BYU UW on Wednesday announced a pair of future home-and-home series against Michigan and Brigham Young.

The Huskies are scheduled to host BYU on Sept. 29, 2018, and will visit Provo on Sept. 21, 2019. UW’s home game against Michigan is scheduled for Sept. 5, 2020, with the return trip to Ann Arbor on Sept. 18, 2021.

Additionally, UW’s previously scheduled home-and-home series with Wisconsin (in 2018 and 2021) has been canceled in order to accommodate Wisconsin’s conference schedule.

is nothing new, but the fact that he still feels this good after training camp and two preseason games is a very good sign for Harvin and Seattle’s offense. Fair or not, Harvin’s durability always will be a topic of discussion. (Never mind that he played in all but three games from 2009, his rookie season with Minnesota, until the middle of 2012 when he suffered a serious ankle injury, coincidentally, in Seattle.) So, for Harvin to be practicing almost every day and feeling this good bodes very well for the Seahawks and is bad news for Seattle’s 2014 opponents.

“When he has the football in his hands, people get a little nervous,” quarterback Russell Wilson said, referring to opposing defenders. “You just kind of get that sense. Having his presence out there on the football field, it’s a very good thing for us. He can make a lot of plays, he’s done it his whole entire career. Think about his first four years, he was an MVP-type player.”

Harvin noted that having almost an entire season off allowed his entire body to heal, and also that the hip issue had been affecting other parts of his body such as his hamstrings.

“My legs just feel how they’re supposed to feel,” he said. “It’s very fluid, very smooth, it’s all good … I definitely feel a lot better, I’ve got a lot more motion than I’m used to having, I can do a lot more cuts, just a lot of different things, a lot of motions that I wasn’t able to do before.”

Perhaps the most encouraging part of Harvin’s preseason is that he is practicing nearly every day. During an offseason minicamp, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said they wouldn’t often let Harvin practice more than two consecutive days, and that continued into the early part of training camp, but Harvin has been feeling so good that he’s pushing back when training staff wants him to take a rest day.

“We had to go back and forth a couple times on it, because those guys really wanted me to get my rest,” he said. “But after my first two, three days I felt that I was in a rhythm, so I told them I wanted to stay in a rhythm and start putting my practices back-to-back. I was recovering with no problem, as I kept going the legs kept getting fresher and fresher, and right now I’m feeling very, very good where I’m at right now. I’m looking forward to the season.”

Billionaire bests Master’s champ With the Boeing Classic being held at TPC Snoqualmie Ridge this weekend, local golf legend Fred Couples was a guest at Wednesday’s practice, as well as new L.A. Clippers owner and former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer.

After practice ended, Couples and Ballmer, as well as Seahawks Steven Hauschka, Jermaine Kearse and Cooper Helfet had a closestto-the-pin contest, hitting floating golf balls at a green floating in Lake Washington about 90 yards away from the practice field. And in an upset, Ballmer beat the former Master’s champion in a playoff after each of them put two of three shots on the green in regulation. Hauschka, who is a 5-handicap, was the only Seahawk to hit the target during the competition, putting one of three shots on the green.

Despite being a billionaire owner of an NBA team and the former CEO of Microsoft, Ballmer said he was “a little bit nervous” before taking his hacks. And maybe it was those nerves that led to the most humorous moment of the afternoon, when after putting his first two shots on the green, Ballmer skulled his final shot and drilled a GoPro camera that was on the ground filming the action.

“I felt good that I hit something,” he quipped.

Told that the going rate on a GoPro was $2 billion — the price he paid for the Clippers — Ballmer joked, “That’s the price of everything nowadays.”

Defensive backs scuffle It’s pretty common for small fights to happen in football practice, particularly this time of year, but what’s far more unusual is for teammates on the same side of the ball to go at it.

Yet that’s what happened early in Wednesday’s practice when defensive backs Tharold Simon and Earl Thomas had to be separated.

The incident happened very early in practice while players were still warming up in position groups, so it was during the time when TV cameras are allowed to be rolling.

While it is unclear what sparked the incident, King 5 TV cameras caught most of it, beginning with Simon jumping towards Thomas, who then shoved the cornerback away. Simon took his helmet off and began jawing at Thomas before Jeremy Lane and Byron Maxwell stepped in front of Thomas while assistant coach Marquand Manuel along with linebacker Bobby Wagner pulled Thomas away.

It was the third time in as many days that players have had to be separated in practice, though in the previous two cases it was the more traditional offensive lineman vs. defensive lineman scuffle. Just a day earlier, defensive coordinator Dan Quinn was asked about practice skirmishes, and said it’s something the team would prefer to avoid.

“That’s our job as coaches to get that handled as best we can,” Quinn said. “Really, we want to know what we’re competing for. At the end of it, it’s how good we can make each other by how hard we go against each other. Sometimes that line can get crossed, but what we’re competing for is to see how good we can get. That’s what the message here at practice is all about.

At times the flare-ups may happen, and it’s our job to control those as quickly as we can.”

Postcards from camp ...

Vikings deep and very talented at wide receiver

By Aaron Lommers and David Krueger Herald Writers

LAKE STEVENS — With junior Jacob Eason taking the snaps, it’s easy for Lake Stevens High football coach Tom Tri to be excited about his passing game. But at Wednesday’s first day of practice for the 2014 season, it wasn’t Eason he was raving about.

It was the guys he throws the ball to.

“I’ve been really impressed with our receiving crew,” Tri said.

“They’ve come up a lot on their own time in the offseason (to work) with Jacob Eason just running routes, catching balls and just working on some fine details about concepts that we run. We’re as deep at receiver as we ever have been. There’s probably six guys at receiver for four spots that could all start.”

The receiving core includes seniors Tevin Gray, Damon Terry, Justin Brown, Josh Rasmussen, junior Riley Krenz and sophomore Hunter Eckstrom. Tri said it’s possible that five or more of the talented group of pass catchers could have 20 to 30 catches this season.

“I feel like we are really going to be able to spread the ball all over the field,” Tri said. “It’s going to be fun to know that we don’t have to hide behind one or two of our better receivers and try to move them around. We can just line up and play fast and spread the ball to any skill position on the field.”

The Vikings’ depth at receiver and ability to spread the ball around the field should help them keep defenses on their heels throughout the season.

“It’s going to force defenses to have to cover the whole field, everything,” Tri said. “If teams are only going to leave four or five in the box because they’re so worried about having to defend the field, we’ve got four offensive lineman back and a couple of good (running) backs in the

backfield that like to pound the ball between the tackles.”

Archbishop Murphy EVERETT — It took just one practice for second-year football coach, Jerry Jensen, to proclaim: “Year 2 is better!”

Jensen, who took over for the Wildcats prior to last season — after some last-minute-off-the-field shuffling that saw Archbishop Murphy go through four coaches in less than a year — is excited to start year No. 2. He was out with his players Wednesday morning as prep football teams across the state opened practice for the 2014 season.

“I think there’s some familiarity between the kids and myself ... I think we’re all moving the same direction and I don’t know that was the case last year,” Jensen said. “(They know) what to expect from me and what my expectations are. It definitely helps being in the second year.”

In Jensen’s first year, the Wildcats (a Class 2A member of the Cascade Conference) finished 3-6.

“We need to play to our potential,” Jensen said. “We need to come out every week and play hard and play fast. If we do that every single week, than we’re going to give ourselves a chance to be successful.”

Edmonds-Woodway EDMONDS — In 2013, the Warriors’ football team proved to be the class of the Wesco 4A South. This season they have a new league to conquer.

Edmonds-Woodway has dropped from 4A to 3A and will compete in the Wesco 3A South this season. Instead of fending off perennial contenders like Jackson and Kamiak, the Warriors have to face Meadowdale and Glacier Peak in their quest for a league title.

“Meadowdale and Glacier Peak, look what they’ve done,” coach John Gradwohl said, adding that for Wesco football “there isn’t much of a difference” in quality between the 3A and 4A schools.

E-W gets to prepare for many of its new opponents with its old ones, opening the season against Jackson and Kamiak.

“I think my schedule this year is harder than (heck),” Gradwohl said.

“We go Jackson, Kamiak, Meadowdale and Glacier Peak. Lynnwood’s going to be real good. Shorewood is going to be much improved.

(Mountlake) Terrace is always competitive.”

Interim coach Eric Dinwiddie whistles for the rest of the team at Cascade High School on Aug. 20.

Bruins: ‘Our goals are just to get better every single game’ From Page C1

Dinwiddie and his assistants, the bulk of whom have coached the Bruins for two seasons and assisted at Lake Stevens together for four years before that, decided to stay together to help the Cascade team finish the fight.

“We decided to take this on,” Dinwiddie said. “Not me as an interim head coach. It’s a group process. You don’t replace a guy like Joe. But us, together, have worked to organize ourselves to fill in the holes we’re missing.

“But we know we’re missing a guy.”

The Bruins’ coaching staff has done everything it can to ensure that as little as possible has changed from last season.

“We bring the same philosophy,” Dinwiddie said. “We’re going to care for kids, outwork teams (and) we’re going to be running similar systems the best we can.”

The players have done their part, spending the offseason in the weight room — some since their 2013

season ended in November — and are doing all they can to get better to continue Cascade’s success.

“The transformation has really been crazy,” senior quarterback/ linebacker Malik Rackliff said. “As a freshman being 0-10, then 5-5 and then going to the state playoffs last year was incredible. I’m just really excited to see this upcoming year. I want to better that.”

The players say the pride in the football team has skyrocketed at Cascade High School.

“My freshman year I was able to point out my parents in the stands because (the bleachers) were so empty at our games,” senior lineman Kelsi Colon said. “But last year I couldn’t tell anyone apart.

The whole stands were full. It was great. Freshman year, the varsity players were embarrassed to wear their jerseys. Now, I wish I could wear mine every day.”

Part of that pride led to the 2.5mile hike up Mt. Pilchuck, which gave the players a chance to talk and plan out the season ahead.

“It was a great bonding

experience,” Kendrick said. “Once you start walking, and you run out of cell service, there’s nothing to do but talk.”

Dinwiddie, a line coach, and his fellow “big guys” also made the trek as the Bruins laid out their goals for the 2014 season.

“They wanted to come out and finish this thing that we started three years ago: to bring Cascade back to prominence,” Dinwiddie said. “To maintain the pride that we have and play football the right way. The way Coach Cronin started and the way we know is right — by working hard and taking care of each other.”

Finishing the fight also means taking care of another piece of unfinished business, players said.

“We want to win a Wesco (4A) title,” Coleman said. “We talked about it last year, too. We made one slip up in the Edmonds-Woodway game that impacted us for the rest of the season.

“But our goals are just to get better every single game and make sure we’re always outworking our opponents.”

The loft bedroom in Chris and Malissa Tack’s 140-square-foot home in Snohomish.

Shrink to fit

Tiny home dwellers find plenty of room for the things that matter most

By Andrea Brown Herald Writer

T

iny houses are a big commitment.

No bulk buying. No sprawling sofa. No shoe fetishes.

And you really gotta love the one you’re with.

This isn’t a version of “Honey, I shrunk the house.” Tiny homes are the lifestyle of choice for a growing movement of people who believe smaller is better. Little debt. Low utilities. Less housework.

The boon has led to tiny house books, workshops, meet-ups, products and TV shows such as “Tiny House Nation.”

These aren’t playhouses.

These are real homes, with a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and, yeah, even a great room.

Living small is efficient and economical. The minimalistic mind-set is the reverse of the obsession with big homes.

Tiny house dwellers say they don’t need the space or want the headaches.

It’s not confinement, it’s freedom.

“The idea of a 30-year mortgage scared us,” said Chris Tack, 30, who lives in a home that’s 7 feet wide and 20 feet long with his wife, Malissa, 30, in Snohomish.

“I don’t feel like I’m giving up anything,” she said. “We aren’t being held down by our stuff.”

Monroe daughter and mom Candice Ding, 43, and Baoying Feng, 67, share a

space that is 154 square feet.

“It feels like a normal house,” Ding said, “except smaller.”

What’s the definition of tiny?

The archetypal structures are mostly in the 120- to 200-square-foot range and designed to fit on a travel trailer to make moving doable, though not necessarily easy.

Wheeled homes must meet the guidelines to fit under bridges, trees and power lines. The site for tiny house builder Tumbleweed shows a tiny house in the car hull of a ferry.

For many dwellers, part of the process is constructing their own tiny homes.

That’s what the Tacks and Ding did, taking on the task with no building experience.

KEVIN CLARK / THE HERALD

Malissa and Chris Tack built their 140-square-foot home on a 20-foot trailer over seven months.

It was a learning experience, for sure.

Not that gutsy?

Seattle Tiny Homes will custom make your home. Base models go from about $60,000 to $80,000, and business is booming at the Poulsbo dealership.

“We are almost booked into next year.

We expanded the shop and hired more people,” owner Sharon Read said.

There’s nothing cookie-cutter about tiny homes. “I don’t believe anybody

lives the same in a small space,” Read said, “and I don’t want to waste one square inch. It’s very personalized. You don’t need to compromise.”

For those who can’t take the plunge into a life without clutter and three bathrooms, tiny homes can also be used as studios and vacation homes, or for guests and boomerang kids.

Poison rings not just a relic of the past

P JAMES JULIA AUCTION

Poison rings are part of history and mystery stories. Perhaps Lucrezia Borgia murdered her foes with her ring. This 18 carat gold ring with a hidden compartment has red enamel trim and an emerald set in the center. It was advertised as a poison ring at a 2014 James Julia auction in Fairfield, Me.

oison rings play a part in a lot of murder mysteries. Adversaries were removed with a flick of a ring cover over a glass of wine.

The idea of a ring that held poison is thousands of years old, but it is the Victorian era that’s called “the era of the poison ring.” A ring was made to conceal a small compartment with a tight cover that could hold a poisonous powder. It was designed to be used to kill foes or to commit suicide if captured by enemies.

But historians now think the rings were not often used to hold poison. Instead, the

small compartment held religious relics, locks of hair of lovers, notes or other tiny memorabilia of a romantic or religious nature. The poison ring is not out of fashion. Internet ads offer hundreds of modern versions today. Prices range from under $40 for pewter or plated metal rings to thousands of dollars for gold rings set with precious stones.

Q: We purchased a stool in the 1970s while we were living in England. It’s wood, 18 inches high, and has vertical fluted sections that join to make a circular outer case. When the top is raised, a hinged toilet

seat appears. Under it is a compartment with a lidded ceramic potty jar. It also has a hinged slide-out footrest with a leather top.

There are no marks on the wood frame.

The lettering on the bottom of the jar reads, “Burleigh, Made in England.” We have no idea of its origin or history. Can you help?

A: You have a type of commode the English call a “close stool.” During the days before indoor plumbing, chamber pots with lids were usually kept under beds and used in the evenings when it was too dark See KOVEL, Page D2

or too difficult to go outside to an outhouse. The more well-to-do 18thcentury family could afford a close stool, a small decorative cabinet that held a chamber pot inside. It was chair-seat height and had an opening on top so the user could sit somewhat comfortably. Later close stools were made with hinged outer lids that could be lifted to access the chamber pot. By the 1870s, many had a toilet seat and a lid. A pull-out footrest made it easier for a child to use. Fancy close stools were designed to look like elegant pieces of furniture with stained woodwork and upholstered tops. With the advent of indoor plumbing, they were used as parlor stools or stands.

The mark on your chamber pot was used in the 1930s by Burgess & Leigh, a British pottery company founded in 1862 in Burslem, England. The pottery started using the name “Burleigh Ware” in the 1930s, and it uses the same name today. Your close stool is worth about $200 to $300.

Q: I have been collecting Space Racerelated mechanical banks for a few years. They’re all pot metal, and some of them are labeled with the name of an American astronaut or a commercial bank. The shapes include a rocket, flying saucer, ray gun and spacecraft.

What do you think they’re worth?

A: Banks like yours were made from the 1950s into the early ’70s by Dura Mold & Manufacturing Co. and Astro

PLANT OF MERIT What: Echinacea Pow Wow Wild Berry is a coneflower with very unique qualities, which is why this plant won the 2010 All American Selection Award.

Its interesting deep roseto purple color variation is just one of its many attributes.

These vivid colors do not fade in the summer sun and it blooms continually without deadheading. Most importantly, this echinacea does not fall over. Incredibly easy to grow, it does not mind poor soil, drought or heat and is a virtual buffet for songbirds.

Sun or shade: This coneflower requires full sun to achieve its maximum color range.

Size: Pow Wow Wild Berry grows 20-24 inches tall and is approximately 12 inches wide.

See it: In the All American Selection Garden within the WSU Snohomish County Master Gardener Demonstration Garden at Jennings Memorial Park, 6915 Armar Road, Marysville.

Every plate I have looked at comes with a certificate of authenticity, a box, etc. All are new and in perfect condition. Do you know a retailer who might be interested in them?

A: Collector plates are hard to sell and almost all sell for less than their original value. Even the more expensive plates made by Danish manufacturers in the last 30 years have gone down in value. Most collector plates made by American makers sell for about $10 to $15 or less. If you want to sell the entire collection to a retailer, make a list of the plates you have and include the manufacturer’s name and the name of the plate. Be sure to indicate that you have the certificate of authenticity and the box for each. You can contact an online source like Replacements. com or try local antiques or consignment shops. Remember, the retailer has to make money on the deal and you will be lucky to get half the price the retailer sells them for.

Four renovation projects to do INSIDE

AUGUST IS

INSIDE RENOVATION MONTH! Take advantage of the warm weather.

You’ve decided to forgo the road vacation in order to stay home and get some big jobs done around the house? Here are the top four indoor renovations to do, while the weather is warm. A handy tip: keep plenty of cool drinks on hand and set up a comfy outdoor living area, complete with lounging furniture, lighting, and an awning for rainy days.

Renovate the kitchen Renovating the kitchen can be a long, complex process, even more so because it is a key room in the home. 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.

Redo the floors Even though sanding and varnishing techniques have greatly improved over the years, these jobs can still disrupt the entire household. With warm summer weather, it is possible to air out the room quickly after the work is done. Just be sure to leave the

Repaint Summer is a good time to undertake painting jobs (except during humid periods).

Not only can you air out the rooms as you work, but you can begin the job very early in the morning and finish later because of the long daylight hours. In other words, you’ll be more productive — unless you succumb to

Change doors and windows Whether your goal is to improve the style or the energy efficiency of your home, changing the doors and windows is definitely a summer project. Warm weather is a distinct advantage, as installation can require multiple comings and goings from the outdoors.

Tiny: ‘A house should make you happy’ From Page D1

Learn more

Malissa and Chris Tack Malissa and Chris Tack and their cat are living large in their tiny home.

“Most of the people who visit, their first word to describe our house is ‘cozy,’” Malissa said. “I’ve heard the term romantic in reference to climbing the ladder up into the loft space. It’s second nature.

Just like ducking.”

The couple, married four years, built the home that has 12 windows, winebarrel shower base, loft bed, pantry, two-burner stove, solar panels, electricity and metal roof.

“It was roughly around $20,000,” Malissa said. “Our house probably cost less than our Honda Fit. And it’s nice because both are paid off.”

Every inch counts in a home that’s 140 square feet, even the size of fruit.

Bananas hang from above.

“The produce was taking up too much counter space,” Malissa said.

Fruit wasn’t factored in the blueprint, but everything else was, even the litter box for SethCat. The ceiling under the loft is high enough so Chris doesn’t bump his head.

“When I built the house in 3D I made a mock-up model of him and me at our heights in order to make sure it would all work out,” said Malissa, a graphic artist.

The limited closets hold needful things.

“I have more clothes than she does,” said Chris, a photographer. “We don’t have stuff.”

“I’ve gotten rid of almost everything I own,” Malissa said. “He’s getting better at downsizing.”

She works from home at a hinged table that doubles as a dining table. The computer screen doubles as the TV, and is on a mount so it can be seen from the storage bench that doubles as a couch.

“This is the place where we spend the most time,” Malissa said, who added that the two call it their “great room.”

Candice Ding works outside her 154-square-foot tiny house she shares with her mother, Baoying Feng, in Monroe.

about 10 people standing inside here with no problem,” she said.

The couple moved into the home in 2011. The labor took 800 hours over a span of seven months. The hardest part was installing the skylight.

Now the chores are mostly the outside variety, like mowing the rural lot they lease. Malissa made wooden lawn chairs for relaxing and deer watching.

It’s easy to pick up and go, without the house, that is.

Instead of presents, people give the couple money, which they use for travel and recreation. The gift of “experiences,” as Malissa puts it.

There is a drawback to living in a house with no elbow room.

“I loved rearranging and just creating a different feel,” Malissa said. “In here, it’s really hard to do

that because everything has its place. I’ll rotate the bed sometimes. That’s like the one place I can still manipulate a little bit.”

It beats being held down by stuff.

“I feel like I’m on vacation in here,” she said.

“You do your homey stuff — cooking meals, taking showers — but it has a different feel to it.”

Candice Ding knew what she wanted in her dream home: wood stove, bay window, projection screen, big deck and two bedrooms.

She got it all, for about $30,000.

Ding went to workshops and studied many tiny homes before building her place in 2011 before her mom moved here from China.

“I was looking for a comfortable personal space and a cheap space for me and my mom,” she said. “I found a plan and I modified it.”

She also modified her life. “Before I moved into a tiny house I counted my shoes and I had 23 pairs,” she said. “It was a struggle to get rid of things.”

Her mom also didn’t want to part with belongings. “We are from China and are very thrifty. We can’t throw things away.

We think anything we have can be used for something someday,” Ding said.

The chickens saved the day.

Ding built a tiny chicken coop. Two chickens live

upstairs in their own tiny house and the base serves as storage for the women’s stuff.

She leases a spot on a woodsy 10-acre farm, tapping into electricity from her landlord’s garage.

The 7-by-22 foot home is airy, with 13-foot ceiling, eight windows, two skylights and a glass kitty door the cat uses to access a private, screened upper deck. Yes, even the cat lives in the lap of luxury.

Ding’s mom climbs the steps to sleep in the roomy loft, then grabs a rope hanging from the ceiling for support coming down.

Ding bunks downstairs in a bedroom cubby.

The house took a year to build. “I had never built anything before,” said Ding, who now makes lamp shades at the Seattle lighting company where she had a pendant fixture made for her home.

It seemed easy enough: “Fourteen tools and you can build a tiny house.

That’s what the book said,” Ding said. “I used more.”

She also used a few experts, such as a plumber, electrician and roofer.

Ding was firm on her list of must-haves: She wanted to be able to sit by a fire and knit and watch videos on big screen.

She also wanted a real home feel. “I wanted it to look like a house,” she said.

The kitchen cabinets are regular size. A 60-inch projection screen pulls down from the ceiling. Flames flicker in the wood stove.

A house should make you happy, Ding said.

“I based everything on that. It’s the happiest place,” she said. “I prefer living in the tiny house. It is really good. It has grown on my mom.”

DAILY CROSSWORD

No room at inn for domineering sis Adapted from a recent online discussion.

Hi, Carolyn: A relative is hosting a surprise event. My sister lives out of state but is going to drive here for the party.

When she comes to visit, she always stays with me.

I go absolutely nuts. She’s extremely opinionated, domineering, over-my-shoulder oppressive.

My husband and the rest of my family tell me to just deal with it. I have tried, but nothing has worked.

A few years ago I confronted her, and she got so angry she cut me off for four blissful months. Then she forgave me. Rats.

She has not asked yet to stay with me, but I see the telltale signs, innocent emails asking how I’m doing.

After I got sideswiped into hosting her last time, I vowed not to answer her emails, which so far I’m holding to. She is capable of doing an end run via another sister.

I’m asking for your permission to close the hotel doors.

— Driven Totally Bonkers Your home, your call, no matter what I think.

Ideally you’ll say it straight out — “We are oil and water — not a good idea” — but you can also ignore any disingenuous communications, or invite an out-of-town friend to make your guest room

CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT unavailable, or trump up another dodge.

Clearly you need a longer-term solution, though. WHY does this sister inflame you so? Even with the most obnoxious people, we still control the access we give people to our sensitivities. This will be your dilemma in perpetuity unless you identify your buttons and cut the wires that feed them.

Re: Sister: (1) Tell Sis that, as an extraspecial present, you have made reservations for her at Hotel X, which you hear is fantastic; (2) Invite some nice friends to stay with you during that time, so you don’t have the space; (3) Buy a nice rollaway bed and give it to another sister; (4) Stand up for yourself and say, “Sorry, but I can’t host you here.” And don’t cave into pressure to explain.

...

Not answering calls and emails is silly and leaves you open to reasonable criticism. Good luck.

— Anonymous Remember, the emails aren’t direct requests, they’re part of an apparent pattern of manipulation. If so, ignoring isn’t the noblest defense but it’s a valid one.

Carolyn: Can you elaborate on what you mean by controlling “the access we give people to our sensitivities”? I don’t “give” people like this access to my sensitivities, they just know exactly what they are and how to use them to hurt me. Even if I put on a show like it doesn’t hurt, it still hurts.

— Anonymous 2 I’ll use my experience in reading hostile mail for 16 years, and also in some volatile, now-ex friendships.

Both used to upset me deeply, and now the same things barely register.

Nothing about the other parties changed, the abuse still comes.

What has changed is inside me: I value their (or anyone’s) opinions less; I am more accepting of, less embarrassed by and therefore less defensive about my own shortcomings; and I learned more constructive ways to handle my hard feelings. Combine the three and I am just not as, for a lack of a better word, hurtable as I used to be.

Tag-along kids push limit of bride’s guest list Dear Abby: I am being married later this year, and I’m planning my guest list.

My cousin “Emily” has five young children who I’m making an exception to invite. She lives across the country, so she’s starting to book her plane reservations.

Emily just announced that she’s being remarried and her fiance has three children he shares joint custody of. Am I obligated to invite three children I have never met? This is causing a lot of grief between me and my fiance because Emily assumes that they are all welcome. Please advise. — D.C. In NYC Dear D.C.: Call Cousin Emily. Explain that your guest list is limited and that her five children — to whom you are related — are the exceptions. No other children have been invited to the wedding, and you would prefer to get to know her fiance’s children under less stressful circumstances.

Emily’s wrong to assume she can include anyone whose name wasn’t on her wedding invitation. The children can stay with their mother or grandparents during the time their father will be away.

Dear Abby: My husband prefers leftovers to sandwiches for his work lunch.

He generally takes them in reusable plastic bowls that claim to be dishwasher and microwave safe.

After a short time, these bowls become terribly stained. Not only are they unsightly, but sometimes they harbor odors. Even though they have been thoroughly washed, they seem unclean. We have noticed this happens more often with tomato-based food like spaghetti or barbecue.

bowls overnight in dishwashing detergent and even using a small amount of bleach, but the stains remain. Is there a way to remove the stains and odors, or must I continue to buy new bowls and throw the stained ones out? — Bowled Over In Alabama Dear Bowled Over: According to “Haley’s Hints,” by Graham and Rosemary Haley (New American Library), if you soak the bowls and lids in cold water for five minutes or more before putting the leftovers into them, you can prevent the staining from happening. And the odors can be removed by placing crumpled newspaper inside them and putting the tops on before storing them.

(This is also an effective way to deodorize shoes.)

Dear Abby: My daughter just got remarried to a man who has a 10-year-old son.

I don’t know the boy at all.

What is the appropriate name he should call me?

My daughter already has two boys from her first marriage and they, of course, call me Grandma. I don’t feel comfortable having her new stepson call me Grandma. Any suggestions?

— Nameless In New York Dear Nameless: Is your heart really so closed that you would tell that boy he isn’t welcome in it? I urge you to be more accepting of this child, or you may get a name that isn’t fit for a family newspaper.

BRIDGE Millard Pringle was at my club today. He’s a quiet little man who gets lost in the maze of defensive rules.

Against 3NT Millard led the eight of hearts: deuce, jack, king. South next led the jack of spades, and Millard was conflicted. He knew about “covering an honor” but also “second hand low.” Finally, he covered — with his ace.

Millard then led his last heart. South took the ace, cashed the A-K of clubs, led a diamond to his hand and let

the nine of spades ride. East won and ran the hearts for down one.

South succeeds if Millard ducks the first spade. East takes the queen but can’t safely lead a second heart.

South wins the diamond return and forces out the ace of spades for nine tricks. (At double dummy, South could make 3NT even against Millard’s play.)

Millard’s defense was sound. Once he led a heart, trying to find East’s long suit, he was correct to grab the first spade and continue hearts, hoping to set up the hearts

Rethinking digital-age clutter

Craig Ferguson to launch talk show in 2015

By Matt Sedensky Associated Press

“The End of Absence: Reclaiming What We’ve Lost in a World of Constant Connection” by Michael Harris (Current) Michael Harris offers in his book “The End of Absence” a fascinating assessment of this moment we inhabit and, for those old enough to remember, highlights the rare opportunity we have to recall what it was like before we filled our day with unstoppable status updates, conversations interrupted by Wikipedia fact checks and the suffocating weight of thousands of emails.

It’s all become so normal that it feels as if we knew all of Harris’ observations before we read them, though they remain insightful and stunning and frightening. We are denizens of a world where facts are invented, true expertise is devalued, authenticity is at a

premium and, more than anything else, distractions reign.

“As we embrace a technology’s gifts, we usually fail to consider what they ask from us in return — the subtle, hardly noticeable payments we make in exchange for their marvelous service,” he writes. “We don’t notice, for example, that the gaps in our schedules have disappeared because we’re too busy delighting in the

amusements that fill them. We forget the games that childhood boredom forged because boredom itself has been outlawed. Why would we bother to register the end of solitude, of ignorance, of lack? Why would we care that an absence has disappeared?”

Harris doesn’t totally answer those questions, but he makes clear something has been lost.

He may be most eloquent when he sounds an alarm on behalf of those young minds that have been rewired by our new normal: “I fear we are the last of the daydreamers. I fear our children will lose lack, lose absence and never comprehend its quiet, immeasurable value.”

Toward the end of his concise work, he takes a monthlong sabbatical leave from the Internet and his cellphone and all their related trappings. It is, he acknowledges, more meditation than prescription, but it is an illuminating, worthy reckoning of our disjointed, digital life.

NEW YORK — Craig Ferguson is close to a deal to launch an early-evening talk show starting in fall 2015.

The outgoing host of CBS’ “The Late Late Show” would introduce his half-hour syndicated series on stations in a slot just before prime time, according to a source with knowledge of the deal.

Ferguson is expected to bring along his robot skeleton “sidekick,” Geoff, as well as executive producer Michael Naidus.

Nickelodeon’s Dora grows up and gets a spinoff series

By Yvonne Villarreal Los Angeles Times

Dora Marquez, as the pint-sized global superstar herself might say, has gotten muy grande.

The beloved cartoon character first walked her tiny feet into the hearts of children 14 years ago with the premiere of “Dora the Explorer” as part of Nickelodeon’s preschool programming block. Save for a few glimpses of her future self in a couple of TV specials and a doll, Dora has barely looked a day older than 7 in her run of 200 episodes.

Now, a new look is coming to the old favorite in a very big way.

“Dora and Friends: Into the City,” a spinoff of sorts to “Dora the Explorer,” launches Monday on Nickelodeon. The bilingual tot with the unmistakable bangs is looking more akin to a 10-year-old. She is taller, her hair longer, her wardrobe less boxy. She has ears and eyebrows.

It’s a risky move for the Viacom-owned cable network to change such a cherished character. But her maturation allows Nickelodeon to expand the Dora franchise (including the “Go, Diego, Go!” spinoff) even further while keeping “Dora the Explorer” alive.

Nickelodeon stands as the ruler of the sandbox, with four of the top five preschool programs, according to Nielsen Co. Only PBS’ “Curious George” at No. 2 has been able to crack that list.

Despite being an oldie, “Dora the Explorer” is still

kicking, ranking No. 6. The program that averaged 2 million viewers when it launched still commands 1.4 million viewers, according the Nielsen, and she remains a lucrative franchise with $13 billion in retail sales.

Teri Weiss, Nickelodeon’s executive vice president of preschool programming, pointed to Dora’s longevity and global appeal as indicative of why the gamble was worth taking.

“Aging-up a cartoon, especially one kids are so protective of, is not something you can necessarily do with every series,” Weiss said. “I think that because she has a continuous appeal to new generations of Dora fans, it seemed like the type of property that if we were going to do this sort of extension, this sort of growing-up move, it would be the one to go with. In some ways, that protectiveness is our safety net.”

Despite her preteen look, the older Dora is not necessarily intended for older kids. The show’s target audience, much like “Dora the Explorer,” is the preschool set of 2- to 5-year-olds. Older Dora is meant as a companion piece — an aspirational figure to little ones — according to creators Chris Gifford and Valerie Walsh Valdes, who also were behind the original show.

She’s armed with a magical charm bracelet, and in a true sign of the times, her dependable Map has been upgraded to a Map app on her phone. Music is also a heavy player in the new series.

The Latina heroine still seeks the participation of viewers and continues to mix in Spanish words, but she is presenting curriculum that is aimed slightly older and is dealing with themes such as community service and friendship skills.

“It’s been great for us to think about modeling friendship skills,” Walsh Valdes said. “There’s this whole life that Dora has now as part of a peer group that we can really exploit to come up with great, unique stories that we can’t really explore in the other series.”

Gifford maintains that older Dora still has the moxie that her young admirers have come to appreciate.

“She’s still our girl,” Gifford said. “And it’s still a heroes’ journey, but there are many more reversals and twists and turns and surprises. After doing eight seasons of ‘Dora the Explorer’ and four of ‘Go, Diego, Go!’ it was nice to do something that was a little more narratively driven, character driven.”
