Everett sues K-C over mill site After several deadline extensions, Kimberly-Clark still has not complied with the city’s clean up requirement.

By Chris Winters Herald Writer

EVERETT — The city has filed a lawsuit against Kimberly-Clark

Corp. over the company’s failure to cover its former waterfront pulp-mill site with topsoil.

When the company shut down the mill in 2012 and received a permit to demolish buildings on the site, it was with the stipulation that the rubble be covered with topsoil and that grass be planted to contain pollution on the site, the city says.

The company has complained

that the requirement would make it harder to sell the property. Kimberly-Clark proposed another plan for the property that would not require it to cover the debris, but the city rejected it.

Everett instead extended the cleanup deadline to April 15, and extended it again to June 15.

But the Dallas-based corporation has maintained it is not

legally required to cover the site and that doing so would actually increase the amount of dust in the air while making it harder to sell the land to another company — which would then have to remove the topsoil before developing it.

The city’s deadline passed with no progress, and then on July 9, the City Council authorized a lawsuit over the

company’s failure to comply.

The suit was filed Monday in Snohomish County Superior Court.

The waterfront site was first developed more than a century ago and was primarily used for paper and pulp manufacturing from 1931 until the mill See SUIT, back page, this section

Aficianados spend their golden years restoring vintage planes Herald Writer

EVERETT — Pete Graven got hooked on aviation as a young boy, listening to stories from his uncle, a WWI fighter pilot.

Jim Jackson was among the first mechanics to work on the B-29 bomber during WWII. Norm Constan spent nearly four decades with the Boeing Co., delivering airplanes.

Now, in their golden years, these volunteers spend a day or two a week at Paine Field,

fixing up vintage aircraft at the Museum of Flight Restoration Center. Many are well into their 80s. The oldest is 99.

“The people here have just as many interesting stories as the aircraft they’ve worked on,” said Tom Cathcart, the museum’s director of aircraft collections.

“It’s just as much about the guys out here working as the aircraft the museum ends up putting on display. The aircraft is getting a second life, but some of these

BRIER — Two Brier police officers did not violate department rules during a June 18 pursuit that ended in a death, an internal investigation has determined.

The review and the collision investigation recently were obtained by The Herald under public records laws.

The officers had called off the brief chase, but they continued to follow the fleeing suspect at lower speeds, without lights and sirens.

Anthony Koschei, 31, of Lynnwood, lost control of his car, crashed and died after the officers called off the chase. Witnesses saw Brier police arrive at the crash scene a few moments later.

Officers reportedly had witnessed Koschei racing another vehicle in Brier. When they tried to pull him over, he took off at speeds of up to 100 mph, detectives wrote.

Koschei made it about a mile — into Lake Forest Park, in King County — before missing a curve and hitting a clump of trees. The Lake Forest Park Police Department ruled excessive speed as the cause of the crash.

An autopsy found amphetamine, marijuana and opiates in Koschei’s system, according to the records.

Brier police conducted an internal review, a standard procedure for departments after pursuits and other major incidents.

Federal Way man sells rare Superman comic for $3.2M The 1938 book was stored in a cedar chest, ensuring its mint condition.

By Jennifer Peltz Associated Press

NEW YORK — A rare, nearly flawless copy of Superman’s comic-book debut has sold for a super-powered price: $3.2 million.

New York comics dealers Stephen Fishler and Vincent Zurzolo said Monday they submitted Sunday’s record-setting bid in the eBay auction for Action Comics No. 1, the 1938 book in which the superhero first appeared.

It’s believed to be the highest price ever paid for a comic book, surpassing $2.1 million for a similarly high-quality copy of the same book in 2011.

“It’s hard to believe that a kid’s 10-cent comic could be worth that much money, but it is Superman.

That’s an iconic thing,” Fishler said. “It’s the first time anybody saw what a superhero was like.”

EBay confirmed the price but said it couldn’t yet disclose the buyer’s name.

Created by Cleveland teenagers Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, Action Comics No. 1 introduces the Man of Steel’s Kryptonian backstory, earthly role as reporter Clark Kent and identity as a champion of the oppressed. It’s seen as the dawn of the comic book superhero, paving the way for a roster of nowfamous characters.

About 100 to 150 copies are believed to exist, only a handful of them in top condition. The book just sold got a seldom-seen 9.0 on a 10-point scale used to measure vintage comic books’ condition.

It was kept for decades in a cedar chest in the West Virginia mountains by a man who had bought it off a newsstand, seller Darren Adams recently told The Washington Post. Adams, a Federal Way, Washingtonbased collectibles dealer, didn’t immediately return a call Monday from The Associated Press.

After the original owner died, a collector bought it from his estate and built a similar cedar chest to store it, Adams told the Post.

Fishler and Zurzolo own ComicConnect.com, which auctioned the 2011 record-setter and a slightly less well-preserved Action Comics No. 1 for more than $1 million in 2010.

The rising prices have been fueled by superhero movies and growing interest in comic books as investments — “an alternative place to put money that has a cool factor to it,” Fishler said.

Sunday’s sale also marks a high point for San Jose, California-based eBay, which Adams selected to sell an item often handled by specialty dealers and auction houses. Gene Cook, the online marketplace’s general manager of emerging verticals, said the sale demonstrates “how eBay plays a role in popular culture by connecting shoppers to must-have merchandise.”

Stillaguamish gets ‘long overdue’ home The tribe’s new reservation will help it centralize its services.

By Kari Bray Herald Writer

ARLINGTON — The Stillaguamish Tribe finally has a reservation, a federal designation tribe leaders say is long overdue.

The reservation spans 64 acres from the Angel of the Winds Casino to 236th

Street Northeast.

“It kind of gives us that anchor on the map,” tribal Chairman Shawn Yanity said.

A reservation is an area recognized by the U.S. government as a permanent homeland for a Native American tribe. A tribe can be recognized by the government without having a reservation.

There are nearly 300 members of the Stillaguamish Tribe.

It’s been 38 years since the tribe gained federal recognition, and at least 28 since leaders first tried to establish a reservation.

Their first attempt was rejected by the U.S. government because one of the properties did not meet all the requirements for being a tribal trust land, meaning the federal government owns the land but the tribe manages its use.

For years, the tribe stopped pushing for a reservation.

“Things had stalled due to many factors,” Yanity said, including “the inner workings with the (U.S.) Department of the Interior and the tribe’s leadership at the time.”

The Stillaguamish built the

Angel of the Winds Casino on tribal land where gaming was permitted under federal law.

Members of the tribe found homes throughout Snohomish County, many in Arlington, Stanwood and Marysville.

Establishing a reservation was put on hold. It’s a lengthy process with no guarantee of success.

But this year, the Stillaguamish tried again, and succeeded.

The U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs released its Stillaguamish Reservation Proclamation on July 30.

“It lets people know we’re obviously here. It encompasses the area that is already commercialized around the casino,” said Jon Hare, who manages real estate for the tribe. “I think really what it does is put a bold line on it jurisdictionally.”

Having a reservation doesn’t change much for day-to-day operations in the tribe, Yanity said. But it’s part of the process for pulling the tribe together and centralizing services like public safety, healthcare and a See STILLAGUAMISH, Page A4

Money lost, found, returned Thousands of dollars were found scattered on the ground in Mukilteo and reunited with their owner.

By Rikki King Herald Writer

MUKILTEO — An alert Washington State Ferries worker quietly did a good deed earlier this month.

The worker found $3,160 in cash scattered on the ground at the Mukilteo dock.

The woman spotted the money and a nearby envelope of bills just as the ferry workers were beginning to load the vessel, agency spokeswoman Marta Coursey said. The woman turned the money in to her supervisor, who called police.

Soon after, Mukilteo officers were able to return the money to its rightful owner, a 65-year-old Clinton man. They aren’t sure why the man was carrying that much cash, department spokesman Colt Davis said Monday.

“All he said was he lost money in a bag while waiting to board the ferry,” Davis said. “He didn’t notice it until he got home.”

The money was in large bills and was found in one of the ferry holding lanes at about 2 p.m. on Aug. 19.

The ferry worker’s written statement to police was brief: “Found scattered cash.”

Reports of found money are less common than cases of lost money, Davis said.

“It does happen,” he said.

“There’s some good people out there who turn money in, and it gets back to the citizens who it belongs, too.”

Traffic on southbound I-5 was backed up for several miles after a concrete truck blew a rear tire Monday morning, causing the driver to lose control and roll over on a stretch of highway in front of Dagmar’s Landing between Everett and Marysville.

Rollover snarls Monday morning traffic

By Eric Stevick Herald Writer

EVERETT — An overturned concrete truck that lost half its load made for a hellish drive to work for commuters heading south on I-5 on Monday morning between Marysville and Everett.

Traffic backed up from Everett to Arlington after the truck blew a rear tire, causing the driver to lose control and roll over on a stretch of highway in front of Dagmar’s Landing. For some it added more than an hour to their commute.

The truck’s driver, 39, felt the friction burn of his seat belt, but otherwise the Camano Island man was not injured.

“He was very shaken up,” Washington State Patrol trooper Keith Leary said.

The truck lost about half of the 10 yards of wet concrete it was

carrying. The accident occurred around 7 a.m. At times, the entire southbound freeway was closed.

All lanes opened up around 11:30 p.m., but it took another 90 minutes for the residual backup to thin out.

Smokey Point Concrete sent out an excavator and dump truck to help clean up the mess, Leary said. None of the concrete got into any of the lanes, he said.

Besides the concrete, there also was spilled hydraulic fluid to clean up.

For all the hassle the accident caused, it could have been worse, Leary said. Neither the truck driver nor anyone else was hurt.

“They can replace the truck,” Leary said. “We can’t replace him.”

Some drivers added to the delays. Because so many were using cellphones to try to photograph and get video of the

accident scene, troopers didn’t feel safe to open up one of the lanes earlier. Some drivers who could have been passing by at 45 mph were using their knees to steer, using their hands to take photos as they rolled by at

around 15 mph, Leary said.

Leary estimated that one in five cars had a driver trying to take a photo, even with troopers standing there.

“It’s very distracted driving,” he said.

ARLINGTON — It has been a rough few days on Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office patrol cars.

A sheriff’s deputy sustained minor injuries late Sunday night after his patrol car struck a horse that got loose and was on the road.

The patrol car was damaged beyond repair.

The deputy was on duty and en route to a domestic violence call around midnight when the accident occurred in the 3900 block of Stanwood Bryant Road, Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Shari Ireton said.

The horse died at the scene.

Tribal trust lands are somewhat scattered, Hare said, but the tribe hopes to unify.

“We really just want to have the land and make it all one piece instead of all these scattered parcels,” he said. “I think the tribe, now that there’s a reservation, we’re not scattered and we know where we want to plan.”

Having a reservation can also help the tribe qualify for grants or public safety funding specifically earmarked for reservations, Yanity said.

monkey business targeting people seen as Reardon’s political rivals.

Hulten in July pleaded guilty to evidence tampering, a gross misdemeanor. He admitted downloading a program that wiped data from the hard drive of a countyowned computer he knew detectives wanted to examine.

In spite of the tampering, the investigation turned up a trove of records detailing misconduct on Reardon’s watch, including a document written by Hulten in which he complained about insufficient rewards for what he called “black hat jobs.”

Skagit County prosecutors handled the case to help Snohomish County officials avoid a conflict of interest. Hulten pleaded guilty as charged.

Cascade District Court Judge Jay Wisman on July 7 sentenced Hulten to serve five days on a Skagit County work crew and to pay a $1,500 fine. He also assessed him nearly $2,000 in court costs and fees.

On Monday morning, Skagit County officials faxed the judge to report that Hulten had begun serving his sentence as scheduled. He is set to complete his time by Sept. 2, according to court records.

“It’s nice to keep most of our main infrastructure as close together as we can,” Yanity said.

Pulling tribal services together also lowers costs because resources can be concentrated in one area, he said.

The tribe could have become centralized without creating a reservation, but the designation is a solid starting place, Hare said.

“The main reason to do this is to show you’re established,” he said. “To have one, I think it’s kind of a historical thing.”

The Stillaguamish Tribe was one of more than 22 that signed the Point Elliott Treaty of 1855, handing over several million acres to the U.S. government for minimal compensation. The Stillaguamish kept their fishing rights and gained federal recognition as a tribe in 1976.

Though most of the tribes in Washington now have reservations, at least three are still working on designating land and gaining approval, according to the Governor’s Office of Indian Affairs.

OLYMPIA — Gov. Jay Inslee is opposing personnel cuts at Joint Base Lewis McChord, saying they would hurt the economy.

The Army is studying the effects of force reductions at bases around the country.

The review assumes a loss of about 16,000 soldiers and civilian workers at LewisMcChord. Lewis-McChord already has been reduced by about 5,400.

In a letter to Army officials Monday, Inslee said cuts of that size would have “grievous effects” on the state’s economy and threaten to undermine work related to habitat restoration, research and conservation.

Inslee also challenged an Army economic analysis that found the state would lose just $17.4 million in tax revenue through 2020. He said the figure could be four times that.

guys are, too.”

The restoration center opened at Paine Field about 30 years ago. In 1988, the center moved into the two hangars it now occupies near Airport Road. These days, it’s one of several historic aircraft attractions at the Snohomish County Airport, which also hosts the Future of Flight, the Flying Heritage Collection and the Historic Flight Foundation.

The restoration center is no dark, dingy workshop.

It’s open to the public most days of the week.

Adult admission costs $5.

Walk inside, and you’ll see about two-dozen aircraft. There are immaculate specimens — and others that look like they barely escaped the scrap heap.

The collection includes a restored F2G-1 Super Corsair, a fighter built by Goodyear Aircraft Corp., near the end of WWII. There’s also a nearly display-ready Chance Vought XF8U-1 Crusader, the first-ever example of a legendary jet that hit Mach 1 — breaking the sound barrier — during its initial flight in 1955.

The Crusader went on to enjoy remarkable longevity, with the last one retired from service in 2000 by the French Navy. Elsewhere, you can spy jumbles of raw machinery: radial and V12 engines alongside some of the jet propulsion systems that replaced them.

A Lockheed Jetstar from 1957 still conjures up the magic of the early jet age, even without paint or much of an interior.

A silver, banana-shaped U.S. Air Force helicopter built in 1951 by Piasecki Aircraft Corp. sits out back like a classic car on blocks.

found no wrongdoing by the two officers, he wrote in a letter to the mayor on Thursday. The officers “acted within their lawful authority,” Catlett wrote.

Brier police initially kept the crash quiet. About a month after the death they provided a news release after an inquiry from The Herald. The news release was dated June 19, the day after the collision.

Pursuits, and pursuit policies, have drawn scrutiny from police chiefs in recent years amid highprofile deaths and lawsuits.

Some local departments, including Everett and Bothell, have adopted stricter rules regarding when officers can chase fleeing suspects.

At least four pursuits in

closed in 2012. In October 2013, Kimberly-Clark announced it had reached a tentative deal to sell the 66 acres of industrial waterfront to Saltchuk. The Seattle-based company was interested in the land as a new home for its subsidiary, Foss Maritime Co., which operates a shipyard and maintains a fleet of tugs, barges and other specialty vessels.

But that deal fell through in April 2014.

Graven, 86, of Bellevue, a retired mechanical engineer who spent his career selling heavy equipment for General Electric.

Graven has been volunteering 24 years — “without pay” — he adds.

He got started as a docent at the Museum of Flight’s main facility in Seattle, then found his way north to the restoration center.

Graven said he acquired his love of aviation as a boy in Chicago. His “whiskey-drinking uncle” would tell him stories of flying fighter planes during WWI and rubbing shoulders with some of the most famous aces of the day.

Graven got his pilot license in 1961, but it was a hobby, not a profession. These days, he leads a small crew fixing up a Pratt-Read PR-G1 Glider, a light, engineless aircraft that seats two.

“I’ve been the lead on this one, because I’m the only glider pilot in the bunch,” he said.

The same type of plane set an altitude record in 1952, soaring to 44,255 feet. The record stood until 2006, when two men flew a glider dubbed the “Perlan” — Icelandic for “pearl” — to 50,727 feet.

The 2006 glider is on display with the Museum of Flight in Seattle. If things work out, the PrattRead glider will join it.

First, there’s some work to do.

More than seven years into the restoration, Graven’s team has finished reverse-engineering the intricate woodworking of one of the glider’s wings.

“There are 88 ribs in there and every one is different,” Graven said.

On a Wednesday last month, he and two other volunteers brushed poly-fiber fabric over the wooden wing structure. A chemical smell emanated from the table where they mix the compounds.

“We call it my cocktail lounge,” quipped Norm Constan, a 78-year-old retiree from Seattle.

Constan worked 39 years for Boeing, mostly delivering airplanes.

“I started on the B-52 — I’m an old guy,” he said.

A retired middle- and high-school teacher rounded out the team that day.

“I’ve always been a model-airplane nut and this seemed like the ultimate model-airplane project,” said John Grove, 81, of Mercer Island.

They hope to finish the glider next year.

The restoration center accepts volunteers age 18 and above, subject to a background check.

“We’re a little low right now,” said Sheree Van Berg, the center’s aircraft maintenance technician.

“We usually have between 80 and 100. We have about 80 right now.”

The largest group of volunteers, about 35, has been working to restore an example of the world’s first commercial jetliner, a DH 106 Comet by Britain’s de Havilland Aircraft Co. “It’s never an individual effort,” Cathcart said. “It’s always a team effort.”

Nineteen years and going, the Comet is also the longest-running project at the center.

The longest-serving volunteer presides over a workshop stocked with vacuum-tube components and other high-tech antiques. At 93, Joe Polocz has outlived most everyone from the time when he started volunteering in 1986.

Polocz, a widower, typically shows up three days a week, four if they ask him.

He enjoys working with the radio tuned to classical music.

“It gives me a reason to get up in the morning and to exist,” he said. “It’s a good hangout for me. It’s more or less a lifesaver. It keeps me going.”

The nonagenarian is renowned for his skill at bending stock sheets of metal into missing airplane parts. His electronics know-how also is in high demand. He’s helped rescue four WWII-era flight simulators from oblivion.

Born in Hungary, Polocz grew up around his father’s blacksmith shop, where he learned the trade. During the Second World War, he served in the Hungarian Air Force as a mechanic. Later, he

fled the threat of “Uncle Joe” — Joseph Stalin — and landed in America.

He soon found work in Camden, New Jersey, with RCA, on “whatever technology was going on at the time.”

After retirement, Polocz and his wife moved west to be closer to their daughter. He now lives in south Everett.

“That guy can make anything out of wrought iron and he can shape sheet metal like you wouldn’t believe,” Cathcart said.

Polocz isn’t the senior volunteer.

That distinction belongs to 99-year-old Jim Jackson of Everett.

Jackson was among the first mechanics on the B-29 bomber, which saw heavy use in the Pacific theater during WWII. “We were the first guys to do any work on them,” he said. “No manuals. No instructions.”

Though his tall, thin frame has become less steady with age, Jackson’s skill for making parts continues to inspire reverence.

“He can work most younger guys under the table,” Carthcart said.

Jackson deflects the attention.

“I’m just one of the guys,” he said. “We all work together. I’m nothing special.”

Snohomish County ended in fatal crashes in 2013, one of which involves a still-pending million-dollar claim against the city of Lynnwood. In one case, a Bothell police officer was given a one-day suspension for a lengthy pursuit that ended in an Everett death.

On July 26, a 23-year-old man crashed his motorcycle in Smokey Point after fleeing from a Washington State Patrol trooper. The trooper had called off the chase for safety reasons. The man lost control of his bike less than two miles away. He died at the hospital a few days later.

In the Koschei case, a Brier police officer reportedly saw an Acura and a pickup racing about 9:25 p.m. near the intersection of 216th Street SW and Poplar Way. Both drivers made U-turns and sped off when they saw the officer, according to the internal investigation. The officer lost sight of them.

He and another officer

searched the area for the racing vehicles.

At 9:45 p.m., the officer pulled into the police station parking lot along 228th Street SW. The same two vehicles sped past.

The other officer showed up in the area around the same time, according to the records.

The Acura, driven by Koschei, then made an unsafe lane change. The officers followed the car onto southbound 44th and attempted to pull it over. The Acura sped off along 44th, which turns into Cedar Way. Within seconds, both officers announced over the radio that they were not going to chase the Acura, according to the records.

The officers both shut off their lights and sirens as they approached the intersection of Cedar Way and 236th Street SW. The officers kept going but slowed down, figuring the driver might ditch the car.

The officers saw the crashed Acura shortly after entering Lake Forest Park.

They summoned aid crews and called their chief. Koschei died at the scene.

It wasn’t clear in the reports exactly how far officers had chased the car using their emergency lights and sirens. The chase and the crash happened within a minute or two, according to the records.

No stores along the route had useful surveillance video footage for detectives.

Koschei was a repeat felon with a lengthy rap sheet, including convictions for identity theft and drug possession. He spent years in state prisons, and most recently was released in February 2013, according to the state Department of Corrections.

Koschei failed to report to his community corrections officer in December, and a warrant was issued for his arrest. He still had the warrant at the time of his death.

Further geological inspection by Saltchuk found that the pilings of the former mill buildings, which are connected across much of the site, are more vulnerable to seismic activity. The two companies couldn’t agree how to split the cost of stabilizing the site and getting it ready for redevelopment.

City leaders, including Mayor Ray Stephanson, had hoped the prime industrial property could be used for another industrial or maritime purpose.

City spokeswoman Meghan Pembroke would not comment on the suit or the nature of any previous

negotiations between Everett and the company.

“We have had discussions with Kimberly-Clark, but we weren’t able to reach a resolution,” she said.

In the lawsuit, the city also accuses the company of failing to comply with the state’s Shoreline Management Act by putting concrete debris within 200 feet of the East Waterway.

Soil on the former mill site is contaminated with arsenic, lead, cadmium and other toxic materials, and the city is concerned that airborne dust might affect a nearby residential neighborhood.

The state Department of Ecology has been working

on a long-term site cleanup plan, which could be ready by the spring of 2015.

The Ecology Department has tried to stay out of the conflict between the city and the company, however.

“As long as KimberlyClark is ready to respond to any dust, the Department of Ecology doesn’t have a position on what the ground cover should be,” Andy Kallus, the department’s site manager, said earlier this summer.

The city is seeking a judicial order to compel Kimberly-Clark to comply with the law and cover the site as soon as possible.

Funeral held for Michael Brown Mourners urge blacks Americans to turn protests into political action

By Jim Suhr

Shooting spree suspect held ST. LOUIS POST DISPATCH

A casket containing the body of Michael Brown is wheeled out Monday at the Friendly Temple Missionary Baptist Church in St. Louis.

the uncle who delivered the eulogy, said Brown “prophetically spoke his demise.” And now his blood is “crying from the ground. Crying for vengeance. Crying for justice.”

Poster-size photos of Brown, wearing headphones, were on each side of the casket, which had a St. Louis Cardinals ball cap atop it. Large projection screens showed a photo of him clutching his high school diploma while wearing a cap and gown. Two days after his death, he had been scheduled to start training to become a heating and air-conditioning technician.

Brown, who was to be buried in a St. Louis cemetery, was unarmed when he was killed. A grand jury is considering evidence in the case, and a federal investigation is also underway.

Police have said a scuffle broke out Aug. 9 after officer Darren Wilson told Brown to move out of the street and onto a sidewalk in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson. Police said Wilson was pushed into his squad car and physically assaulted. Some witnesses have reported seeing Brown’s arms in the air in an act of surrender. An autopsy found he was shot at least six times.

Relatives denounced a video released by police, who say it shows Brown snatching cigars from a convenience store just before he was killed. In the video, the person said to be Brown grabs a clerk by the shirt

Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The Department of Veterans Affairs says investigators have found no proof that delays in care caused any deaths at a VA hospital in Phoenix, deflating an explosive allegation that helped expose a troubled health care system in which veterans waited months for appointments while employees falsified records to cover up the delays.

Revelations that as many as 40 veterans died while awaiting care at the Phoenix VA hospital rocked the agency last spring, bringing to light scheduling problems and allegations of misconduct at other hospitals as well. The scandal led to the resignation of former VA Secretary Eric Shinseki. In July, Congress approved spending an additional $16 billion to help shore up the system.

The VA’s Office of Inspector General has been investigating the delays for months and shared a draft report of its findings with VA officials.

In a written memorandum about the report, VA Secretary Robert A. McDonald said: “It is important to note that while OIG’s case reviews in the report document substantial delays in care, and quality-of-care concerns, OIG was unable to

and forcefully pushes him into a display rack.

Sharpton also took the black community to task, saying it should be as upset about blackon-black crime as it is about police violence: “We have to be outraged by our disrespect for each other.”

“Blackness,” he added, “has never been about being a gangster or a thug.”

Money and possessions mean little, he said, “if we can’t protect a child walking down the street in Ferguson” and bring justice.

Brown’s death fueled nearly two weeks of sometimes-violent street protests in Ferguson.

His father, Michael Brown Sr., asked protesters to observe a

We’ve delivered that apology.

conclusively assert that the absence of timely quality care caused the death of these veterans.”

The inspector general’s final report has not yet been issued.

The inspector general runs an independent office within the VA. Deputy VA Secretary Sloan Gibson confirmed the findings to The Associated Press.

Gibson, however, stressed that veterans are still waiting too long for care, an issue the agency is working to fix.

“They looked to see if there was any causal relationship associated with the delay in care and the death of these veterans and they were unable to find one. But from my perspective, that don’t make it OK,” Gibson said. “Veterans were waiting too long for care and there were things being done, there were scheduling improprieties happening at Phoenix and frankly at other locations as well. Those are unacceptable.”

A suspect in a series of shootings that killed three people and injured four others within an hour in the Los Angeles area was taken into custody. The man was detained by SWAT officers Sunday night after holing up inside a house in Sylmar, police said. Witnesses had reported seeing two men in a SUV at two of the three shooting scenes in the San Fernando Valley area. Police declined to say whether a second suspect remained at large.

Texas: Worker impaled

“day of silence” Monday to let the family grieve.

The request appeared to be honored. At the Ferguson Police Department, where a small but steady group of protesters have stood vigil, a handmade sign announced a “break for funeral.” On Monday afternoon, the West Florissant Avenue commercial corridor was also devoid of protesters, whose ranks have typically swelled as days turned to nights.

Monday also marked the first day back at school for students in the Ferguson-Florissant School District. Classes had been scheduled to begin Aug. 14 but were postponed because of safety concerns.

VA: No proof delays caused deaths

By Stephen Ohlemacher

California quake damages set at $1B NAPA, Calif. — The magnitude-6.0 earthquake that jarred California’s wine capital caused $1 billion in damage, Napa County officials estimated Monday as business owners mopped up high-end vintages that spilled from barrels and bottles and swept away broken glass in the rush to get the tourist hotspot back in shape for the summer’s final holiday weekend.

Government and tourism officials encouraged visitors to keep flocking to the charming towns, tasting rooms, restaurants and spas that drive the Napa Valley economy. They said the worst damage and disruption was confined to the city’s downtown, where a post office, library and a 141-room hotel were among 150 homes and buildings deemed unsafe to occupy.

ST. LOUIS — The mourners filled an enormous church to remember Michael Brown — recalling him as a “gentle giant,” aspiring rapper and recent high school graduate on his way to a technical college.

But the funeral that unfolded Monday was about much more than the black 18-year-old who lay in the closed casket after being shot to death by a white police officer. The emotional service sought to consecrate Brown’s death as another in the long history of the civil rights movement and implored black Americans to change their protest chants into legislation and law.

“Show up at the voting booths. Let your voices be heard, and let everyone know that we have had enough of all of this,” said Eric Davis, one of Brown’s cousins.

The Rev. Al Sharpton called for a movement to clean up police forces and the communities they serve.

“We’re not anti-police. We respect police. But those police that are wrong need to be dealt with just like those in our community that are wrong need to be dealt with,” Sharpton said.

Two uncles remembered how Brown had once predicted that someday the whole world would know his name.

“He did not know he was offering up a divine prophecy,” Bernard Ewing said.

More than 4,500 mourners filled Friendly Temple Missionary Baptist Church in St. Louis for the service, which at times seemed like a cross between a gospel revival and a rock concert. It began with upbeat music punctuated by clapping.

Some people danced in place.

The crowd included the parents of Trayvon Martin, the unarmed 17-year-old AfricanAmerican fatally shot by a neighborhood watch volunteer in Florida, along with a cousin of Emmitt Till, a 14-year-old murdered by several white men while visiting Mississippi in 1955. Till’s killing galvanized the civil rights movement.

Also in attendance were several White House aides, the Rev. Jesse Jackson, moviemaker Spike Lee, entertainer Sean Combs and some children of the Rev. Martin Luther King.

The Rev. Charles Ewing,

ACROSS THE U.S.

In April, Dr. Samuel Foote, who had worked for the Phoenix VA for more than 20 years before retiring in December, brought the allegations to Congress.

Foote accused Arizona VA leaders of collecting bonuses for reducing patient wait times.

But, he said, the purported successes resulted from data manipulation rather than improved service for veterans.

He said up to 40 patients died while awaiting care.

In May, the inspector general’s office found that 1,700 veterans were waiting for primary care appointments at the Phoenix VA but did not show up on the wait list. “Until that happens, the reported wait times for these veterans has not started,” said a report issued in May. Gibson said the VA reached out to all 1,700 veterans in Phoenix and scheduled care for them. However, he acknowledged there are still 1,800 veterans in Phoenix who

requested appointments but will have to wait at least 90 days for care.

The VA has said it is firing three executives of the Phoenix VA hospital. The agency has also said it planned to fire two supervisors and discipline four other employees in Colorado and Wyoming accused of falsifying health care data.

Gibson said he expects the list of disciplined employees to grow.

“The fundamental point here is, we are taking bold and decisive action to fix these problems because it’s unacceptable,” Gibson said. “We owe veterans, we owe the American people, an apology.

We’ve delivered that apology.

We’ll keep delivering that apology for our failure to meet their expectations for timely and effective health care.”

To help reduce backlogs, the VA is sending more veterans to private doctors for care.

Congress approved $10 billion in emergency spending over three years to pay private doctors and other health professionals to care for veterans who can’t get timely appointments at VA hospitals, or who live more than 40 miles from one. The new law includes $5 billion for hiring more VA doctors, nurses and other medical staff and $1.3 billion to open 27 new VA clinics.

A Houston construction worker has been hospitalized after he was impaled in the chest by a circular blade that became detached from a power saw. A Houston fire spokesman said the man was taken Monday to a hospital with at least part of the blade embedded in his body. Parker said the worker was using a saw often used to cut through metal or concrete. He says such a blade can become dislodged if it isn’t tightly secured while cutting a hard material.

Va.: Soldier kills herself An enraged soldier barricaded herself inside a major command’s headquarters at Fort Lee and shot herself in the head Monday as law enforcement officials tried to negotiate with her, the Army said. She died later in the day at a hospital, according to a news release issued by Fort Lee. No other injuries were reported.

AROUND THE WORLD Israel: Mass evacuation

Tens of thousands of Israelis have fled their homes along the border with the Gaza Strip, reflecting growing fear and frustration over the war with Hamas and the Palestinian mortar fire raining down on their communities. The government began offering assistance to residents Monday in the first large-scale voluntary evacuation in nearly eight weeks of fighting. Officials estimate that 70 percent of the 40,000 inhabitants of the farming communities along the Gaza border have left.

Iraq: 2 car bombs kill 15 Iraqi police officials said two car bombs in a busy commercial district in Baghdad have killed at least 15 people and wounded another 21. The bombs, which detonated less than two minutes apart, hit a restaurant, the officials said.

Earlier Monday, at least 43 people were killed in various attacks across Iraq, all of them in Shiite-majority areas.

Libya: 100 migrants drown At least 100 African migrants trying to reach Europe have drowned off the coast 30 miles east of the capital, Tripoli, Libya’s coast guard said Monday. The migrants were found off al-Qarbouli.

Their boat, which carried more than 250 migrants, capsized late Friday. The Libyan coast guard rescued 16 people.

Liberia: Ebola kills doctor A Liberian doctor who received one of the last known doses of an experimental Ebola drug has died, officials said Monday. Separately, Canada said it has yet to send out an untested vaccine that the government is donating.

Ebola has left more than 1,400 people dead across West Africa. Health experts warn untested drugs and vaccines have not undergone the rigorous testing that usually takes place before they are used.

Also Monday, Japan also said it is ready to provide a newly developed anti-influenza drug as a possible treatment.

Boeing lands $8.8B BOC order

By Kyunghee Park Bloomberg News

SINGAPORE — Boeing won an order for 82 jets from BOC Aviation valued at $8.8 billion in list prices as Asian aircraft-leasing companies boost their fleet amid a surge in travel demand across the continent.

BOC Aviation ordered 50 737 Max 8 and 30 Next Generation 737-800 aircraft from Boeing, the lessor, a unit of Bank of China Ltd., said in an e-mailed statement Monday. The

Singapore-based company also agreed to buy two 777 wide-body aircraft. The single-aisle planes are for delivery between 2016 and 2021, BOC said in the statement.

BOC Aviation and SMBC Aviation Capital, the world’s third-largest aircraft leasing company, are among Asian lessors buying new planes as economic growth across India, China and Southeast Asia enables more people to fly. Chicago-based Boeing has predicted the region will drive an increase in commercial aircraft sales to $5.2 trillion

over the next 20 years as China overtakes the U.S. as the world’s biggest aviation market.

“We want to be in the younger end of the market,” Robert Martin, BOC Aviation’s managing director, said in a telephone interview Monday in Singapore.

“We want the most fuel-efficient planes.”

Last month, BOC Aviation ordered 43 Airbus Group aircraft and the lessor is expected to have a record number of planes on its fleet this year. Japanese lessor SMBC Aviation said it will buy

$11.8 billion of jets from Airbus.

China Aircraft Leasing Group Holdings has also said it plans to expand across the continent after becoming the first plane lessor in the region to sell shares to the public last month.

BOC Aviation plans to have a fleet of 400 airplanes by 2021 as it expects to take deliveries of an average 27 planes a year from 2015, Martin said. It also plans to sell about 20 to 30 planes annually, he said.

NEW YORK — Some Burger King customers are finding it hard to swallow that the home of the Whopper could move to Canada.

Investors seemed to welcome

NEW YORK — E-commerce giant Amazon is buying streaming platform Twitch Interactive for $970 million in cash as it seeks to take part in video gaming’s growth as an online spectator sport.

The deal is an acknowledgment that gameplay video feeds are becoming increasingly lucrative. Twitch had 55 million unique visitors in July, most of whom went to the Twitch.tv website to watch others play games — competitions carrying advertising.

Robert Singleton, co-owner of a Northern California slaughterhouse accused of processing cows with cancer while U.S. livestock inspectors took lunch breaks, has pleaded guilty to a federal criminal charge of aiding and abetting in the distribution of adulterated, misbranded and uninspected meat.

Sales of new homes fall ASSOCIATED PRESS

A tram travels by the front of the Aria Resort & Casino in Las Vegas on Aug. 14. This year, hotels will take in a record $2.25 billion in revenue from fees and surcharges, according to a new study.

Hotels get fee-happy Mimicking airlines and car rental companies, they will take in a record $2.25 billion this year from a growing list of surcharges.

By Scott Mayerowitz Associated Press

NEW YORK — Forget bad weather, traffic jams and kids asking, “Are we there yet?” The real headache for many travelers is a quickly-growing list of hotel surcharges, even for items they never use.

Guaranteeing two queen beds or one king bed will cost you, as will checking in early or checking out late. Don’t need the in-room safe? You’re likely still paying.

And the overpriced can of soda may be the least of your issues with the hotel minibar.

Vacationers are finding it harder to anticipate the true cost of their stay, especially because many of these charges vary from hotel to hotel, even within the same chain.

Coming out of the recession, the travel industry grew feehappy. Car rental companies charged extra for services such as electronic toll collection devices

the announcement by Burger King late Sunday that it was in talks to buy Canadian coffee-anddoughnut chain Tim Hortons and create the world’s third-largest fast-food restaurant company.

The news pushed shares of both companies up more than 20 percent.

But customers were already

Fewer Americans bought new homes in July, evidence that the housing sector is still struggling to gain traction. The Commerce Department said Monday that new-home sales fell 2.4 percent last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 412,000. The report also revised up the June sales rate to 422,000 from 406,000.

University of Phoenix founder Sperling dies John G. Sperling was in his teens — illiterate and the survivor of a childhood filled with illness — when a shipmate in the Merchant Marine taught him to read. Sperling began a journey through higher education that led to his founding of the for-profit University of Phoenix. Sperling, 93, a billionaire, died Sunday at a hospital near San Francisco, according to the Apollo Education Group, the parent company of the university.

and navigation systems. And airlines gained notoriety for adding fees for checking luggage, picking seats in advance, skipping lines at security and boarding early.

Hotel surcharges predate the recession, but recently properties have been catching up to the rest of the industry.

“The airlines have done a really nice job of making hotel fees and surcharges seem reasonable,” says Bjorn Hanson, a professor at New York University’s hospitality school.

This year, hotels will take in a record $2.25 billion in

revenue from such add-ons, 6 percent more than in 2013 and nearly double that of a decade ago, according to a new study released Monday by Hanson.

Nearly half of the increase can be attributed to new surcharges and hotels increasing the amounts of existing fees.

Hanson says guests need to be “extra-attentive” to the fine print.

Plea in meat-recall case

Associated Press DALLAS — Hackers attacked Sony’s PlayStation Network and disrupted the travel plans of a top company executive by going on Twitter to suggest that there was a bomb on his American Airlines plane.

Sony Corp. said American cut short the executive’s flight Sunday and made an unplanned landing in Phoenix. The plane with 179 passengers and a crew of six was scheduled to fly from Dallas to San Diego but stopped for what the FBI termed a security threat.

A Twitter account called Lizard Squad tweeted to American Airlines that there might be explosives on the plane carrying John Smedley, the president of Sony Online Entertainment, which makes video games. Sony spokesman Satoshi Nakajima said Monday Smedley was on the plane.

After landing in Phoenix, the plane taxied to a remote area of the airport, where passengers exited and their bags were searched. An American Airlines spokesman said the plane resumed its flight to San Diego.

Nakajima said the PlayStation Network’s online services were unavailable from Sunday through Monday afternoon Tokyo time. Lizard Squad tweeted that it was responsible for the outage; Nakajima said it remained unclear who was behind the attack.

Sony said no personal information was stolen in the incident. Hackers orchestrated a so-called denial-of-service attack against Sony, which involved overwhelming the company’s gaming network with fake visits so that legitimate users couldn’t get through. In 2011, hackers compromised the company’s network — including the personal data of 77 million user accounts.

UPS, union barred from crash probe A federal accident board has told UPS and its pilots’ union they can no longer participate in the agency’s investigation of a crash that killed two of the cargo shipper’s pilots.

The National Transportation Safety Board revoked their “party status” in the investigation of last summer’s crash at the Birmingham, Alabama, airport because they made public statements about the cause of the accident before the investigation is finished.

Whole Foods checks The Austin, Texas-based organic grocer Whole Foods Markets will no longer accept payments by personal check at stores in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana and Arkansas beginning Sept. 1. “By accepting only electronic payments and cash, we will reduce wait times in line,” Lindsay Robison, Whole Foods spokeswoman, said.

IN OUR VIEW | Letters to parents, No Child Left Behind Act

About those ‘failing’ schools Bring forth the letters, nondescript and governmentissued, like a jury summons or an IRS audit.

Dear (supposedly loving) parent: A majority of Washington’s public schools are “failing,” as defined by the federal No Child Left Behind Act. Your goes-to-a-failing school child may transfer to a (technically) non-failing elementary or secondary school, presupposing such non failures exist in your district (with regrets to students in Mukilteo.)

As The Herald reports, there have been 62 transfer requests for students attending one of the Everett School District’s six Title I schools not meeting what’s known as “Adequate Yearly Progress” targets.

Rule one, straight from the “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy,” is don’t panic.

“There is a fair amount of confusion,” said Cynthia Jones, director of categorical programs for Everett School District who received parents’ calls about the letters. “There is confusion about what does it mean for my child’s school and what does it mean for my child.”

That confusion subsides when parents get in the weeds.

If 100 percent of students don’t meet state-drafted standards, the entire school flunks, triggering the failure letters and other steps.

Parents caught off guard — and they are legion — tuned out the Olympia noise. Earlier this year, Washington became

the first state in the nation to have its conditional waiver of the No Child Left Behind denied. The bugaboo was that Olympia wouldn’t hitch teacher evaluations to student testing.

It’s more nuanced than a teachers-union uprising against a culture of standardized testing. The required use of poorly vetted tests to measure student achievement and linking those results to teacher performance is unworkable over the short term, however much it creates the illusion of accountability.

“There is widespread acknowledgment that NCLB isn’t working,” Superintendent of Public Instruction Randy Dorn said at the time.

“Congress has failed to change the law at the federal level, so states are forced to come up with workarounds.”

Because of the waiver denial, $40 million the state receives from the feds will be freighted with restrictions. The Everett School District, for example, will be forced to set aside 20 percent of its Title I budget to bus students in failing schools to non failing ones and to provide private tutors for struggling students.

Money falls away just as disadvantaged children get slammed the hardest. After all the shouting, there’s a simple, two-part remedy: Fully fund education as the McCleary decision requires and repeal NCLB.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■ UNITED STATES

All agencies are now militarized President Obama was jolted to see images of heavily armed police officers with body armor and automatic rifles clashing with protesters in Missouri.

Why doesn’t the press look at the real story? Why does the United States Department of Education and FEMA both have tactical operation units (SWAT teams) equipped with the very same type of equipment that jolted the Commander in Chief in Missouri? And why did Janet Napolitano purchase 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition for Homeland Security before she left her government job? When will the press start doing their job?

COMMENTARY | State Government Workers

Oregon, Washington are least corrupt Reid Wilson The Washington Post

N

early 20 million Americans are employed by state and local governments across the country. With so many workers, it’s almost impossible to keep everyone honest. Waste, fraud and abuse can cost taxpayers millions.

But in Oregon, strong oversight and audit rules ensure that state officials keep their hands out of the cookie jar.

Data from the Justice Department, compiled by political scientists at Indiana University at Bloomington and the City University of Hong Kong, show that, over a period of 32 years, there were fewer corruption convictions in Oregon than in any other state, when controlling for the number of state workers.

Oregon registered 1.28 corruption convictions per 100,000 public employees between 1976 and 2008. Washington, Minnesota, Nebraska and Iowa also had fewer than two convictions per 100,000 employees.

Those states score well because of robust transparency laws, according to ethics watchdogs. Oregon’s rules for campaign finance disclosures are among the toughest in the country, and lobbyists and special interest groups

cannot give gifts worth more than $50 to state employees. Oregon also requires most public-improvement contracts to be awarded based on competitive bidding, avoiding no-bid contracts, which can be a major source of corruption.

“An awful lot of corruption comes from government contracts,” said Melanie Sloan, a former federal prosecutor who runs Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. “You can’t have no-bid contracts. You have to have transparent contracting procedures.”

At the bottom of the list, Mississippi, Louisiana and Tennessee all registered more than four times more convictions than the least-corrupt states.

More than 7,000 state and local officials were charged with corruption between 2003 and 2012, the Justice Department said in a 2013 report to Congress. The U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia reported 336 federal convictions over that time period; New Jersey’s U.S. attorney reported 428 convictions; and the four U.S. attorneys who oversee Texas reported 775 convictions. By contrast, Oregon registered just 42 convictions during that period.

The bill for all that wrongdoing adds up: Corruption forces states to spend

more on everything from construction and highways to corrections and police.

But the authors of the study, John Mikesell and Cheol Liu, also found that states with higher rates of corruption tend to spend less on education, public welfare, health and hospitals. So more corruption costs taxpayers - in terms of money and the social services the government provides.

Nine of the 10 most corrupt states, the authors found, could have saved $1,308 per resident if their corruption rates fell to the national average. Those states should look to Oregon, home of the most honest government workers in the country.

Malfeasance by the numbers: 7,000-plus: State and local officials charged with corruption from 2003 to 2012 775 convictions in Texas 428 convictions in New Jersey 336 convictions in Washington, D.C. 82 convictions in Washington state 42 convictions in Oregon Note: Convictions from 2003 to 2012.

VA hospital scandal first overblown, then ignored

T

he unofficial end of summer, Labor Day, may serve as a bookend to a scandal that exploded around the unofficial start, Memorial Day. We speak of the very long wait times to see primary care providers at veterans hospitals and, more seriously, the doctoring of records by some hospital administrators to hide that reality.

Back in May, this writer erred in underestimating the wrongdoing at hospitals run by the Department of Veterans Affairs. She’d been swayed by friends who had nothing FROMA HARROP but praise for their VA hospital experiences — and independent studies by the likes of RAND showing higher patient satisfaction in VA hospitals than in privately run ones.

Also, the blast of outrage bore all the signs of another right-wing attack against “evil” government and, with it, a call to privatize another of its services.

The media, meanwhile, were facing the news desert of a quiet, long weekend. So what perfect timing — especially over a holiday honoring those who served — to flog the accusation that the government was killing veterans by the thousands.

That incendiary charge has thus far proved to be unfounded. The VA inspector general’s office has been investigating the deaths of veterans waiting for primary care appointments. So far, it’s failed to find evidence of veterans dying because they were on those lists.

The inspector general did uncover some worms, however: Hospital administrators were faking data about those delays. Punishment is being meted.

At the bottom of this emotional story sits a very plain vanilla villain: the nationwide shortage of primary care medical professionals. This scarcity plagues the entire American health care system, government-run and private alike.

In a highly market-based system such as ours, providers go where the money is.

That would be the more lucrative medical specialties — and in hospital settings rather than doctors’ offices.

In most other countries (though not Canada), patients have shorter waits to see primary care providers. Reliance on expensive specialists to treat conditions that a family doctor could handle helps explain why America spends so much more on health care than do other rich countries.

The reason we know more about the waits at the VA than the ones in the private sector is governments require that such records be kept. The private system does not.

A $16 billion fix for the VA’s primarycare problem was signed this month by President Obama. Thousands of such doctors, nurses and other health care professionals are being hired. Most of the money, however, will pay for veterans on long waiting lists — or who live more than 40 miles from a VA facility — to see private providers.

Thus, conservatives got some of what they wanted and some of what they didn’t. In their plus column, the system is now somewhat more privatized. In the minus column, conservatives had to approve spending these billions — and after they had blocked a vote in February to spend large sums on some of the same things.

A handful of Republicans refused to vote for the bill, insisting that the entire VA system needs a multiple bypass.

“We need structural changes,” said Rep. Jack Kingston, a Georgia Republican, “a purge of those who made this mess, and more choices for our veterans.” “More choices” is code for privatization.

Turns out government can’t promise good health care to the growing numbers of veterans — whether through public or private facilities — without spending a lot of money. That’s the way it goes.

All is quiet now on the VA hospital front.

But where are the 2-inch headlines noting that the 3-inch headlines about murdering veterans were way off? Don’t even bother answering.

Labels best tool to fight allergies

F

or unclear reasons the number of people with food allergies is growing.

Currently, it’s estimated that at least 2 percent of adults and 6 percent of children in the U.S. suffer from food allergies.

They have a reaction to food involving the immune system, which is considered a true food allergy.

Regardless of the type and severity of their condition, the best way for food-allergic consumers to avoid dangerous allergens in packaged food is to read the labels.

How serious are food allergies? Approximately 30,000 consumers require emergency room treatment, and 150 Americans die each year because of allergic reactions to food. Some foods can result in serious illness or anaphylaxis, a narrowing of the airways in the lungs, a sudden drop in blood pressure and swelling of the tongue or throat that can result in suffocation.

What are the major food allergens? The Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act has identified eight foods or food groups as major food allergens that account for more than 90 percent of food allergies in the U.S. They are milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat and soybeans..

What does the Food Labeling Act do? The Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act says that all food products must declare the presence of any major food allergens on the label in simple and clear language as prescribed by law. The regulation applies to domestic and imported packaged foods in the U.S. The law does not cover fresh fruits and vegetables, eggs, meat and poultry products, alcoholic beverages, and highly refined oils.

Keep in mind that food manufacturers can change the ingredients listed on the label at any time. So the Food and Drug Administration advises consumers with allergies to read a product’s ingredient statement with each and every purchase.

How does the Act protect consumers? Congress passed this act a decade ago to make it easier for people with food allergies to avoid foods that contain major food allergens.

Prior to that about 25 percent of sampled foods failed to list peanuts or eggs as ingredients on the food labels even though the foods contained these allergens, according to a survey conducted by the Food and Drug Administration.

Increasing awareness of food allergies among consumers prompted creation of the law we have today with its higher food label standards.

IAN TERRY / THE HERALD

Sammy Loch, a Western Washington University student, will receive $3,000 toward her junior year of school through the Cancer for College fund.

No challenge too great Scholarship fund for cancer survivors helping Everett woman attend college

By Andrea Brown Herald Writer

Not much rattles 20-year-old Sammy Loch.

Not after surviving a malignant brain tumor and flesh-eating bacteria.

“I moved past my fears in a lot of ways,” she said. “Silly things don’t matter as much.”

Well, unless that silly refers to actor and comedian Will Ferrell.

Loch will share some laughs with Ferrell at a September benefit in Seattle to raise money for Cancer for College, a scholarship fund for cancer survivors.

The Everett native will receive $3,000 this year from the national charity started 20 years ago by Ferrell’s college buddy, Craig Pollard, who saw firsthand how cancer can devastate a family not only emotionally but also financially.

Many students lose traditional scholarships opportunities because their cancer limited academic, sports and extracurricular activities, said Cancer for College spokesman Greg Flores.

“The heartbreaking thing is we receive hundreds of applications and grant 50 to 75 a year, with about 10 in the Pacific Northwest,” Flores said. All proceeds from the Ferrell event will go for regional students.

Loch, a junior at Western Washington University, received $2,500 from Cancer for College in two previous years, as well as smaller amounts from two other cancer scholarships.

“It helped tremendously,” she said.

“Otherwise it would make going to school challenging and possibly impossible.”

This year, she will be living off-campus in an apartment.

Five years ago, at times she had to be carried up the stairs of her Everett home after treatment.

“I was dependent completely on my family and doctors to take care of me,” Loch

Cancer for College fundraiser “Approximately 90 Minutes with Will Ferrell and Some Other People,” is set for 7:30 p.m.

Sept. 19 at Meany Hall at the University of Washington, 4140 George Washington Lane NE, Seattle. Tickets are $75 to $500 for VIP seats that include a pre-show party and signed gift from Ferrell. More information: www.cancerforcollege.org.

said. “One of my biggest fears was that I would never be able to be independent and be out on my own. College was this freeing experience of independence and I proved to myself I could do whatever I wanted to do.”

She’s still on the mend. She takes 11 pills a day. As she writes on her blog, sammyloch. blogspot.com: “I have trouble remembering things sometimes. I have over four feet of surgical scaring on my body. My ankle and foot don’t function normally.”

The worst is behind her, though. “I had my 13th clean MRI. Five years cancer free,” she said.

She’s spent her share of time in the diagnostic tool. “I used to have an MRI playlist,” she said, music that occupies her during the long procedures.

She volunteers at camps and events for children dealing with cancer. She is majoring in psychology and sociology. She wants to be a child life specialist. “It’s taking care of the person side of the patient as opposed to the medical side. Helping them deal with the situation,” she said.

“It envelops everybody. There is so much focus on person who is sick. It takes a toll.

A lot of stress. It’s life-changing for person it happens to but it’s life-changing for the whole family.”

With the bad comes good.

“It was the worst experience I ever had, so I never expected it to have such a positive impact,” she said. “It gave my life direction.”

She was 15 and two months into her sophomore year of Jackson High School when the horrible headaches and nausea struck.

Migraine medications didn’t help, so after a month the doctor said, “Just to be on the safe side I’d like to do an MRI.” That was at 3 p.m. By evening, her bags were packed and she was on her way to Seattle Children’s Hospital.

She underwent 10 months of radiation and chemotherapy for the tumor, a medulloblastoma. After the first round, a bacterial infection known as necrotizing fasciitis, a flesh-eating disease, attacked her leg. With surgery and 41 days of aggressive treatment in the hospital, her leg was saved.

“In a lot of ways the infection was scarier than the cancer,” Loch said. “It was so chaotic and you didn’t know was going to happen next. Where with cancer they have a roadmap, you are going to do this treatment and this is the time span and these are the tests.”

Illness changed her road map in life.

“Before I was diagnosed, I was heavily into theater. I wanted to do every show. It was the forefront of my life,” she said. “I was going to be a stage manager for ‘Beauty and the Beast.’” She wasn’t able to return to school until her junior year. Too weak to work on stage sets, she gave all she had in the classroom and graduated on time.

She spoke at graduation about obstacles, but downplayed her own.

“We all have things that are significant and challenging. Nobody’s thing is greater than somebody else’s,” she said. “Everybody has things they have to overcome and challenges they face. Not making the soccer team is big deal if that’s the most important thing in your life.”

Ingredients for ensuring children eat right

By Barbara Quinn The Monterey County Herald

Well, isn’t that good timing?

Right when my daughter and grandkids are here for a visit, I learn that August is Kids Eat Right Month (kidseatright.org). And along with this proclamation, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics has released a new position paper on feeding kiddos in the 2 to 11 year-old age range.

development. To enjoy food. And to maintain a healthy weight as they skip into adulthood.

How are we doing? The good news is that, after two decades of skyrocketing rates of childhood obesity, the numbers are beginning to stabilize. The bad news?

Several key nutrients, such as calcium, vitamin D, potassium and dietary fiber, are being underconsumed by young children.

that supply a big nutritional bang for the calorie buck. A small orange for example, is loaded with potassium and dietary fiber for a measly 60 calories. Cheetos, on the other hand, have few nutrients except fat, refined starch and salt for 160 calories.

Serve child-sized portions on child-sized plates. Studies show that the larger the plate, the more food we tend to eat.

than 4 to 6 ounces of juice a day.

Limit fast food. Frequent fast food sets Junior up to overload on calories and under-consume key nutrients.

Nourish little bodies and minds in the morning. Little ones who eat a simple morning meal can be expected to perform better with school tasks than those who do not, say researchers.

Be the parent. Kids can regulate their food intake well but only if they are in an environment that supports that.

Punctual absolutists need to relax

DAILY CROSSWORD

While I’m away, readers give the advice.

On the chronically punctual: Chronic lateness is a personality characteristic just as much as smiling or shyness or empathy or mothering or wool-gathering to name a few of the more benign.

None, but none, of these characteristics is changed lightly or, usually, at all in a lifetime. I know, I have struggled with lateness the same way others have struggled with more blatantly damaging qualities. I know when I am hungry and when I am full. I know what drink must be the final one. I have a terrific sense of direction. With all of these, of course, over a lifetime I have wondered why others do not — gee, it’s so easy.

It is not at all straightforward.

I have been tyrannized by the absolutists just the same as they think they are inconvenienced by the late-arriving. How often I have arrived — punctually — at a meeting only to think, “I rushed for this? I could have driven more cautiously, not been so rude to that old guy, not have indigestion, edited my email more thoroughly, read that article.”

I often find people are more concerned about the schedule than the occasion, somehow desperately fixated on that aspect of the event.

And, I often wonder why we have

CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT created a society that values punctuality among frenzy.

Now that I am retired I try, oh try hard, to set an engagement between 11 and 11:15 a.m., to make appointments for later in the day, to announce clearly that I wish others would start the meeting without me if they are not “on a retirement schedule.”

In fact, whatever direction these “beliefs” move, they are ONLY beliefs. I suggest some tolerance both ways. I will try to tolerate your absolutism, if you will recognize my right to believe differently. I will try to accommodate your beliefs — even though I do not share them. I will not ridicule your “god” if you do not denounce my apostasy.

In the end, at least give someone you’re married to the benefit of hearing something they would not like to hear before you judge whether the indifference toward him is something you can overcome. You may be surprised what a degree of openness may unfold for the both of you.

— Accepting the Unacceptable On dealing with a messy child: When we were young and irresponsible and would discard items willy-nilly around the house, my mother would pick them up and put them in a box. (She never picked up stuff from our bedrooms.) Then, once a week or so, she would haul out the box and “allow” us to purchase the items back as-is. Unredeemed items got dumped or donated and we lost them.

Engagement ring gets chance to shine Dear Abby: I was engaged several years ago, but the engagement didn’t last. We broke up and I gave him back his ring. We remain close friends, however, and hang out at least once a week.

I have been dating another guy for a couple of years, and we’re thinking about getting engaged.

I am wondering if it would be improper to ask my ex if we could buy my old ring from him. It was — and still is — my “dream ring,” and I know my ex has kept it in the glove box of his car ever since I gave it back to him.

I don’t want to commit a faux pas, but it seems silly to buy another identical ring. What do you think? — Headed Down The Aisle Dear Headed Down The Aisle: If you haven’t discussed this with your current boyfriend, you should. It might bother him to see you wearing an engagement ring that was given to you by someone else. If he says it’s OK, I can’t see why you shouldn’t ask your former fiance if he’d be willing to part with it.

Frankly, he might be glad to get the money.

Dear Abby: I have a love problem I could use your help with. I go to college, and I met an amazing girl, “Lorena,” here. She’s very religious, which I like about her. We have been talking, but I’m afraid to ask her out.

I don’t have the best morals, and I’m afraid I would corrupt her if we did go out. I don’t want to make her into something she isn’t.

Should I let her be who she is, or take the risk of dating her and hope she’ll be happy? — Wild Man In Kent, Ohio Dear Wild Man: Feeling as you do about Lorena, I think you should take the RIP HAYWIRE

risk and ask her out. Make it your top priority not to push her into anything you know wouldn’t be good for her. You wouldn’t be the first “wild man” to meet someone who made him want to be a better man. I wish you luck.

Dear Abby: I am a woman in my 50s. My sister, who is also in her 50s, lives with me and has for several years. Could you please settle a dispute we are having?

She says that mail is private and when I bring my mail in from the mailbox, I should leave hers in the box. I say it is just common courtesy to bring all of it in at once and place it in a predetermined spot for the recipient. I am not saying that mail is not private, because it is. And I would never dream of opening anyone’s mail, but don’t you have to look at the envelope to know which person it belongs to? — Stumped Sister In Houston Dear Sister: I think what you have been doing is both wise and prudent.

Unless the mailbox has a lock on it, I would recommend bringing all the mail into the house as soon as possible after it’s delivered to prevent theft. However, because your sister is sensitive about it and asked that you leave it in the box for her to retrieve, you should do as she has requested.

BRIDGE One thing wrong with the younger generation is that many of us don’t belong to it any more. When a bridge player passes his five and 50, his focus tends to decline.

At today’s six spades, South wanted to avoid the club finesse. He took the king of hearts, cashed the K-J of trumps and the ace of hearts, and ruffed a heart. He took three diamonds to pitch a club and led dummy’s last heart. East pitched a diamond — and South threw a club.

West won but was endplayed: He had to lead a club from his king or concede a ruff-sluff. Making six.

East lost his focus. When dummy leads the fourth heart, East loses nothing by ruffing. South’s loser-on-loser end play vanishes and he loses two clubs.

South could always succeed at double dummy. After winning the first heart, he could draw all the trumps.

West would have to pitch a diamond, and South could then take the ace of hearts, ruff a heart, cash the diamonds and discard a club on dummy’s

’Breaking Bad’ breaks away

By Lynn Elber Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — “Modern Family” won a record-tying fifth best comedy series Emmy Award and a dominant “Breaking Bad” captured the top drama award and a trio of acting honors in Monday’s ceremony, which took a somber turn as Robin Williams was remembered with restraint and grace by his longtime friend, Billy Crystal. ““He made us laugh big time,” Crystal said. “I kept thinking if I could put a saddle on him and stay on for eight seconds I was going to be OK.” Before Crystal’s tribute, Sara Bareilles sang Charlie Chaplin’s “Smile” during the “In Memoriam” segment that included nods to Philip Seymour Hoffman, James Garner, Lauren Bacall, Elaine Stritch, Don Pardo and Sid Caesar.

Bryan Cranston was honored as best actor in a drama for “Breaking Bad,”

proving that “True Detective” nominee Matthew McConaughey’s moviestar appeal couldn’t conquer all.

“I have gratitude for everything that has happened,” Cranston said.

His victory ties him with four-time best drama actor champ Dennis Franz. Cranston’s co-stars Aaron Paula and Anna Gunn were honored in categories for best drama supporting acting, Buffering the miniseries awards was a parody routine about top nominees by “Weird Al” Yankovic.

Musical numbers usually look out of place at the Emmys, and this one was no different. Other scripted banter fell flat, although host Seth Meyers soldiered on.

Noting that the Emmys moved to Monday night to avoid a conflict with Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards, he said that MTV doesn’t really specialize in videos anymore.

“That’s like network TV holding an awards show and giving all the trophies to cable and Netflix. That would be crazy,” Meyers joked.

And the Emmy goes to ...

Rangers shut out Mariners 2-0

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

TONIGHT’S GAME

Texas at Seattle, 7:10 p.m.

TV: Root (cable) Radio: ESPN (710 AM)

SEATTLE — It’s hard not to look at Monday’s 2-0 loss to struggling Texas as anything but a missed opportunity for the Seattle Mariners in their quest to end a 12-year postseason drought.

Their attack flatlined over eight innings against somebody named Miles Mikolas, who entered the night at 1-5 with 7.48 ERA over nine previous starts while plugging a hole in Texas’ injury-riddled rotation.

Not exactly what the Mariners had in mind for the start

of a six-game homestand after capping a 6-3 road trip with a three-game sweep at Boston.

The loss trimmed the Mariners lead to one-half game over idle Detroit in the race for the American League’s final wild-card spot. It also prevented them from climbing to within five games of

the division lead.

This was also the Mariners’ seventh straight game against a last-place team, and they are 4-3 in that span. They play two more against the Rangers before firstplace Washington arrives for See M’S, Page C4

AKE STEVENS — On most weekends of the racing season, Jeff Knight goes from the noisy chaos of the Saturday race track to the quiet reverence of Sunday church. From the thunderous roar of a dozen or so late model stock cars to the soothing sounds of worship and praise.

He goes from being a man trying to win races to a man trying to win souls.

The 44-year-old Knight is a

The Rock Church, where Jeff Knight is head pastor, is located at 16891 146th St. SE in Monroe. Sunday services are at 9:30 and 11:30 a.m. race car driver and a pastor, and he has a genuine love for both.

As a boy growing up in Monroe, he spent his weekends going first to Evergreen Speedway and then to church, accompanied by his father, who was both a racing fan

and a pastor. From as far back as Knight can remember, those were the worlds he knew.

The funny thing is, he never set out to be either a driver or a pastor himself. Through college and even into marriage he had other interests and career plans. But in life, as in racing, there are sometimes unexpected turns, often due to setbacks and hardships. “(Adversity) is what happens in life,” Knight said. “And it’s the story of my life.”

He graduated from Monroe See KNIGHT, Page C6

Seahawks’ Wagner returns to practice Seattle’s middle linebacker had been sidelined since Aug. 2 with a hamstring injury

By Gregg Bell The News Tribune

GENNA MARTIN / THE HERALD

Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner, who returned to practice on Monday, is shown during an OTA practice in June.

RENTON — A vaguely familiar-looking linebacker wearing No. 54 stepped from the shade, walked before the assembled cameras and recorders and made an announcement.

“Hi, I’m Bobby Wagner, new middle linebacker for the Seattle Seahawks,” Wagner, the starting middle linebacker for the Seattle Seahawks since the first game of his 2012 rookie season,

said with a grin on Monday.

Moments earlier Wagner had completed his first practice with the starting defense since Aug. 2, when he strained his hamstring in a team scrimmage. Monday he was sprinting all over, from sideline to sideline, crowding running backs on pass coverage in the flats and stepping up into rushing lanes inside again, just as he has in 34 regular-season and postseason starts in his two years as a Seahawk.

“When I got out there I didn’t

feel tired at all,” he said. “That’s why we do all the running in the offseason and getting in shape.

I feel like I’m still in pretty good shape.”

It’d only been three weeks and two days. But this is the NFL, the realm of few guaranteed contacts — and even fewer guarantees on a player maintaining his livelihood tomorrow, no matter how accomplished he was yesterday.

So to Wagner, it seemed like forever. Or at least long enough

to formally reintroduce himself.

“It was great. I got tired of watching everybody have fun, so it was good to have fun, too,” he said of being back in the center of what was the NFL’s top-ranked defense last season.

That unit is getting whole again at the most opportune time; the opener against Green Bay is 10 days from Monday.

Sounders’ Martins wins MLS player of the week award

By Don Ruiz The News Tribune

Seattle Sounders forward Obafemi Martins was voted Major League Soccer player of the week Monday after recording two goals and an assist in the 4-2 win at Portland on Sunday.

Martins swept in the first goal from close range on a cross from Brad Evans. However, his final goal completed a twisting, turning individual effort that involved moves even he couldn’t fully remember.

This is Martins’ second player of the week honor over his two seasons in MLS.

Brier woman to play at U.S. Open Jacqueline Cako will compete in mixed doubles, which start Wednesday.

Herald news services Jacqueline Cako of Brier and her mixed doubles partner, Joel Kielbowicz of Gross Pointe, Mich., won the 2014 U.S. Open National Playoffs championship on Saturday, earning themselves a berth in the U.S. Open mixed doubles tournament.

The U.S. Open National Playoffs were held in New Haven, Connecticut.

Cako, 22, and Kielbowicz, 31, defeated the brother-sister duo

of Ena and Shuhei Shibahara, 6-3, 6-1, in Saturday’s final.

Cako and Kielbowicz advanced to U.S. Open National Playoffs by winning the mixed doubles title at the USTA Southwest Sectional Qualifying Tournament in May in Scottsdale, Ariz.

The U.S. Open mixed doubles tournament begins Wednesday and runs through Sept. 5 at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing, N.Y. Both Cako and Kielbowicz are making their debuts in a U.S. Open main draw. Cako competed in the U.S. Open juniors in 2008 and 2009. This is the first year Cako and Kielbowicz have played together. They

met at a tournament in Arizona earlier this year.

Cako completed her outstanding NCAA career last year at Arizona State University, where she received All-America honors. She also competed on the United State’s Tennis Association’s Collegiate Team.

Cako has competed in doubles on the USTA Pro Circuit, winning six titles and peaking at No. 169 in the world in doubles last September.

In 2013, Cako and fellow American Natalie Pluskota reached the doubles quarterfinals at the Emirates Airline U.S. Open Series event in Stanford, Calif.

New league, new field for Eagles

By David Krueger Herald Writer

ARLINGTON — There is a lot of newness surrounding the Arlington football team this season.

In addition to joining a new conference, the Eagles have a new turf field to practice and play on.

“We finally got turf,” Arlington coach Greg Dailer said. “It’s been awesome. The receivers know where to line up and we have lines and hashes. It’s cool.

We used to be on that baseball field down there, with two tiny little fields. And they were crooked. It’s been amazing.”

Arlington drops down from the 4A to the 3A classification this fall and joins the tricky Wesco 3A North. The Eagles will host new conference rivals Marysville Getchell, Stanwood and Everett — as well as a nonleague game against Eastside Catholic.

The Eagles already are familiar with several of the teams in their new conference.

“We play (Marysville) Pilchuck and Stanwood every year and we’ve played Oak Harbor quite a bit — we played them last year — so we’re familiar with a lot of those guys,” Dailer said. “We haven’t played Getchell or Everett. It’s new but it’s kind of familiar. Now those games just mean a lot more again. We’re excited. It’s going to be tough. It’s a pretty good

challenge that 3A North.”

Dailer and the Eagles are keeping things much the same after a 5-5 season in 2013, although many of the players will be new to the varsity.

“We have the same systems, offensively and defensively, and a lot of good guys,” Dailer said. “Some new, young guys.

We have a huge junior class and they’re really going to contribute a lot.”

One thing that hasn’t changed is the Eagles’ main goal: a conference championship.

Even if they are in a new conference.

“That’s what we’re in it for,” Dailer said. “(The league title) will be our primary thing. If you

aren’t (league champs), .... you can still get to the playoffs and we’ve done that in the past — get to the playoffs and won that first-round there. That’s a big goal for us too.”

Coach: Greg Dailer (6th season) Key returners: Gareth Henderson OL/LB, Sr.; Anthony Parra, WR/ LB/K, Jr.; Cam Scrimgeour, TE/LB, Jr.; Connor Bovard, WR/DB, Sr.; Noah Andal, WR/DB/QB, Sr.; Beni Madrigal-Reis, OL/DL, Jr. Coach’s quote: “We’re always a little thin on the (offensive and defensive) lines, we never have a ton of big guys. But the ones we’ve got are pretty good this year. We feel pretty good. We’ve got a lot of work to do still, but we’re excited about our potential.”

Murray wins at U.S. Open despite cramps

By Rachel Cohenap Associated Press

NEW YORK — Spinning in 70 mph second serves, grabbing at his hamstring during points, Andy Murray gritted his way through head-to-toe cramps to win at the U.S. Open.

Murray outlasted Robin Haase 6-3, 7-6 (6), 1-6, 7-5 in the first round Monday during an afternoon that was hot but not particularly humid.

He was mystified that the cramps came on so early — at the start of the third set after only about an hour and a half on court.

“When it starts to kind of go everywhere, you don’t know exactly where it’s going to creep up next,” he said. “When you stretch one muscle, something else then cramps, too.”

It started in the back of his left shoulder, and then quickly spread to his forearm. The right-handed Murray couldn’t toss the ball high enough to get any pace on his serves.

Between points, he’d twist his body to awkwardly stretch his left side. After hitting a winner, he’d reach for his quad.

Murray was twice down a break in the fourth set, but the 70th-ranked Haase unraveled with a string of unforced errors. He wasted three break points in the final game, when a missed call also cost him.

Third-seeded Stan Wawrinka and fifth-seeded Milos Raonic both advanced in straight sets.

Maria Sharapova and Novak Djokovic were playing under the lights at Arthur Ashe Stadium in the first night session of the year’s last Grand Slam tournament.

Earlier, Venus Williams, 34, beat 43-year-old Kimiko Date-Krumm 2-6, 6-3, 6-3. The combined age of 77 was believed to be the oldest for a women’s Grand Slam pairing, the WTA said.

Along with the 19th-seeded Williams, 21st-seeded American Sloane Stephens also advanced by routing Annika Beck.

Second-seeded Simona Halep rallied from a set down for a 6-7 (2), 6-1, 6-2 victory over 20-yearold Danielle Rose Collins, who was playing her first main draw match at a tour-level event. As a sophomore at Virginia, an unseeded Collins won the NCAA title to earn a wild card into the U.S. Open.

Lindquist has always been a Dawg Jeff Lindquist grew up watching games at Husky Stadium. On Saturday, the sophomore is the Huskies’ starting quarterback in the season opener at Hawai.

By Christian Caple The News Tribune

SEATTLE — Through the leanest of years — and there were a few of them — Jeff Lindquist kept showing up, kept watching the Washington Huskies play football on Saturdays with his dad at Husky Stadium.

He remembers the greatness of Marques Tuiasosopo, and, too, the “not so great” seasons that comprised most of the 2000s.

Jake Locker, he said, was his favorite quarterback to watch, not only for his athleticism and speed, but for the way other players responded to his leadership and seemed to enjoy working with him.

“Unfortunately, I’m not as fast as he is. That would be great and make life a lot easier,” Lindquist joked.

“But just the way he would make plays, and from what I hear he was just a stud of a leader, and guys really liked playing for him and working hard for him. Just kind of watching the way he operated and the way people worked around him, I thought was really cool to watch.”

Lindquist hopes to approximate those traits on Saturday, when the third-year sophomore from Mercer Island makes his first collegiate start in the Huskies season opener at Hawaii.

UW head coach Chris Petersen named Lindquist the starter last week after a quarterback competition that began in spring and lasted throughout fall camp, Lindquist battling redshirt freshman Troy Williams for the right to start the opener. Third-year sophomore Cyler Miles

for the first time since he became the Super Bowl’s most valuable player in February. Fellow outside linebacker Bruce Irvin (hip surgery) could be back next week.

Seattle has a final exhibition game Thursday night at Oakland before the games get real. Wagner would love to play in that.

“Yeah, I would like to get out there before to get a feel for the game,” Wagner said, “but at the same time it’s still the game we have been playing for a long time. So I think I will be fine.”

Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll would love for his starter in the middle of his defense the last two seasons to first simply get through another practice on Tuesday.

“We really are judging how he feels (Tuesday.

That) is probably the most crucial,” Carroll said. “It’s been a long haul for him, waiting it out. I think we probably waited well and he’s ready to go.

Washington quarterback Jeff Lindquist makes his first collegiate start in the Huskies’ season opener at Hawaii.

joined the competition in camp after sitting out the spring while suspended, and he will also serve a one-game suspension against Hawaii before reentering the fray.

Petersen has said he’ll reevaluate the position after the Hawaii game. But Lindquist doesn’t seem to be thinking that far ahead.

“I’m just going to try to basically do the best I can,” Lindquist said, “and we’ll see where the cards fall.”

Accuracy and decision-making will be key for Lindquist in his first career start, but the development of those skills was what made him the most appealing option for Petersen in the first place.

He was consistently careful during scrimmages and 11-on-11 team periods, making smart throws and avoiding turnovers with greater frequency than his competitors.

“Just stay within yourself,” Petersen said during

his Monday press conference. “You don’t need to go out and win this game by yourself. We don’t need a bunch of critical errors.

Everybody’s not going to play perfect; we get that.

But we’ve got to minimize the critical errors, and I think there’s enough guys around him to make plays.

If he’s the distributor and takes the easy money, it’ll make his life a lot easier.”

Distribution, Lindquist said, is his focus. He said he learned plenty about preparation and film study from three-year starter Keith Price, and grew up learning how to throw from former Huskies quarterbacks Tim Cowan and Taylor Barton.

“I’m just going to try to be the best point guard I can, get the ball to guys and let them go to work,” said Lindquist, who stands 6-foot-3 and weighs 246 pounds, according to UW’s official roster. “And then if I have to throw a deep ball

“He looked very, very good today.”

If Wagner does play against the Raiders, it likely be a cameo appearance.

Same goes for most of the 21 other starting Seahawks.

Asked if quarterback Russell Wilson will take even one snap in Oakland to end what for him and the offense has been an exquisite exhibition season, Carroll went characteristically coy.

“We’ll see,” the coach said, grinning. “Everyone’s going.”

Presumably, that means at least going on the trip to Oakland. More than a dozen veterans didn’t make the trip to Denver for the exhibition opener Aug. 7.

That was four days after Wagner injured his hamstring chasing down ball carrier Robert Turbin during a team scrimmage.

“I actually caught him — with a strained hamstring,” the 241-pound Wagner said of the 222-pound running back. “So I let him know he’s got to get his speed up.”

That’s not the only teammate Wagner’s been ribbing. He and his defensive teammates had a blast this past weekend

cracking on All-Pro safety Earl Thomas for getting tackled by Chicago’s rookie punter Patrick O’Donnell at the Bears 16-yard line at the end of his 59-yard punt return Friday.

“Of course,” Wagner said.

“He’s always talking about how fast he is — and he got caught by the punter.”

Wagner did note that O’Donnell ran a 40-yard dash in an unofficial, unpunter-like time of 4.53 seconds at this winter’s NFL combine — a fact he probably knows from Thomas’ self-defense mechanism this weekend.

But still ...

“You’ve got to give him a hard time over the punter,” Wagner said.

Wagner’s injury had the more-than-fringe benefit of the Seahawks finding his new backup. Unexpected, undrafted Brock Coyle started the first two exhibition games for Wagner.

Coaches and teammates have raved over how being

I’ll do it, and if I have to run and get some tough yards, I can do that, too.”

Junior receiver Jaydon Mickens sees progress in the form of Lindquist’s velocity, specifically that he’s learned when to holster it.

“He needed to understand, every ball doesn’t need to be 100 miles per hour, even if you’re five feet away or a swing route,” Mickens said. “If we’re running a bubble screen, you don’t need to jet it out there. Just a nice, easy catch, and let us go. We’ll take care of the rest. He’s really gotten his accuracy better, as well.”

Budda listed as starter Budda Baker, the Bellevue High product who highlighted UW’s 2014 recruiting class, is listed as a starter at safety on the Huskies’ first depth chart of the season.

Petersen said Baker stood out because of “how focused he is and how hard he plays.

If it’s wind sprints, he tries to win them; 7-on-7, it looks like a game rep. During meetings, you can see his focus, he’s paying attention to everything.

Very, very mature for a young guy in terms of those aspects of his game.”

Baker is joined by seven other true freshmen on the depth chart, though he is the only starter. The other firstyear players listed are cornerbacks Naijiel Hale and Sidney Jones, defensive linemen Will Dissly and Greg Gaines, receivers Dante Pettis and Brayden Lenius, and kicker Tristan Vizcaino.

Clay, Schultz on scholarship Petersen said a pair of former walk-ons have been awarded scholarships: fourthyear junior defensive back Brian Clay, a transfer from Hawaii; and fifth-year senior defensive lineman Drew Schultz, who played at Olympia High School.

a starting middle linebacker in the NFL hasn’t overwhelmed Coyle at all.

Now the captain of the Montana Grizzlies in the Big Sky Conference of the lower, Football Championship Subdivision until a few months ago is five days away from earning a job on the regular-season roster of the Super Bowl champions.

Coyle’s roster spot, to be determined by the final cuts due on Saturday, got more secure with Monday’s news 10-year veteran Heath Farwell has a major groin injury that may end his Seahawks’ and perhaps NFL career. Farwell was Coyle’s competitor at backup middle linebacker.

“He probably has to have surgery on his groin. So that’s a very, very difficult situation for him,” Carroll said of the 32-year old who was Seattle’s specialteams captain last season.

“He had extensive damage and everything points to surgery.”

SEAHAWKS | Notebook

Will Hawks keep 2 or 3 QBs?

By Gregg Bell The News Tribune

RENTON — Asked what his philosophy is on keeping two versus three quarterbacks on the regular-season roster, as he has done for all but one of his four previous seasons leading the Seattle Seahawks, head coach Pete Carroll said on Monday the team was “very fortunate” to get by with having only Wilson and Tarvaris Jackson all last season.

“Sometimes you just can’t afford to do it because guys are too good,” Carroll said of keeping only two QBs. He again praised quarterback Terrelle Pryor for his unique athleticism.

Pryor, the former Raiders starter for parts of three seasons before his trade to Seattle this offseason, blamed himself for not being prepared to enter the blowout of the Bears for the final two series in last Friday’s preseason game.

He had a bad interception and then took two kneel downs to end the 34-6 victory in the preseason game.

“I didn’t think I was going to play at all,” Pryor said. “That’s my fault. I own up to that.”

Extra points Nickel back Jeremy Lane watched the no-pads practice with what Carroll said is a groin injury. The team

doesn’t know the severity of it yet, because Lane is still getting tests, but the coach didn’t make it sound very serious. ... WR/PR Bryan Walters from Kirkland, out last week with sore ribs he got while fearlessly returning punts through oncoming San Diego Chargers like a car going the wrong way down a busy freeway, said he expects to play Thursday. He knows he has to. It could be his last chance to win a job as punt returner, though Thomas’ big game against the Bears didn’t help Walters’ bid. ... Carroll says Cooper Helfet, leading the competition to be the No. 3 tight end, has a knee strain that is not thought to be serious. ... LT Russell Okung was full-go at practice. He was limping during the first half against Chicago and left after the second series with starting center Max Unger. Carroll said both were “gassed” in their first games this preseason. Carroll noted Monday how long of a slog this offseason was for Okung with the toe surgery and recovery, and that his conditioning is just not there yet. … WR Kevin Norwood, the rookie fourth-round draft pick from Alabama, has resumed running two weeks after surgery to remove a bone spur in his foot. Carroll said Norwood could be back practicing next week. ... The team made eight roster cuts Monday. They need to make seven more to get to 75 players by the league deadline of 1 p.m. Tuesday.

Seattle terminated the veteran contracts of T Wade Smith and CB Terrell Thomas and waived the following: T Cory Brandon, RB Demitrius Bronson from Kentwood High School, S Mike Dobson, DE Jackson Jeffcoat, former UW WR Kevin Smith and CB Thomas Wolfe.

Redskins’ Meriweather suspended 2 games Associated Press ASHBURN, Va. — Washington Redskins safety Brandon Meriweather has been suspended for the first two games of the regular

season for a blow to the head of a receiver.

The NFL announced the suspension Monday, saying it was the sixth time Meriweather has violated rules aimed at improving player safety.

Ackley begins homestand on hot streak

By Don Ruiz The News Tribune

SEATTLE — Seattle Mariners outfielder Dustin Ackley began the homestand on a streak that saw him drive in 17 runs over 17 games, with four doubles, a triple, three home runs and a .508 slugging percentage.

Since July 1, he was hitting .317, compared to .214 from March 31-June 30.

What changed, Ackley was asked.

“I think just not missing pitches,” he said. “I think that’s what it was early on in the year when I was struggling: I would get pitches to hit, and I would just miss them. Now it seems like I’ve been able to capitalize on the 2-0, the 2-1 — the hitter’s counts — and I pretty much credit it to that.”

More specifically, Ackley said he is looking for fastballs, catching up to them when they come, and adjusting well enough when they don’t.

“I think when I’ve done that here in the past I’ve hit the offspeed a lot better,” he said. “... It’s not something I got away from. I just think my swing, those early months, wasn’t where it needed to be. It wasn’t that I wasn’t looking for fastballs, it’s that I wasn’t hitting them, and my swing wasn’t in position to do that.

Once I started tinkering with some stuff and just figuring out how to drive the ball the other way and staying on pitches, it just all seemed to work out better.”

Mariners pitcher Felix Hernandez has not got out of the sixth inning in either of his past two starts.

Felix gets more rest Hernandez’s next start pushed back to Friday

By Don Ruiz The News Tribune

SEATTLE — Even in the glow of a 6-3 road trip, Seattle Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon noticed signs of wear from his starting pitchers and indicated Monday that he’d like to do something about it.

About two hours before starting this six-game homestand, he did. The Mariners announced they were backing up their rotation in a way that will buy ace Felix Hernandez a couple of extra days off.

The team announced that Hernandez’s next scheduled

start will be pushed from Wednesday to Friday. The Mariners did not immediately name a new starter for the Wednesday afternoon game against the Texas Rangers.

Then after an off day Thursday, the top of the rotation will line up for the three-game series with the Washington Nationals: Hernandez on Friday, Chris Young on Saturday, and Hasashi Iwakuma on Sunday.

Hernandez’s last win came Aug. 11, and since then he has a loss and a no decision without getting out of the sixth inning in either start.

In the Mariners’ three-game

sweep at Boston over the weekend, all three wins went to the bullpen.

“I think you probably saw a little bit of the grind,” McClendon said. “... Our starting pitching was not very stellar.

There’s probably been a little wear. We’ll try to make some adjustments, keep out an eye on the future a little bit.”

McClendon also said the Mariners would likely bring in a couple of pitchers for spot starts once the roster expands in September. He indicated the likely additions would be Taijuan Walker and Erasmo Ramirez, currently with the Triple-A Tacoma Rainiers.

Short hops Second baseman Robinson Cano returned to the Mariners’ lineup Monday, one day and one crosscountry flight after taking himself out in the third inning at Boston due to flu symptoms. Cano headed into the Texas series third in the American League with 155 hits and fourth with a .326 batting average. ... Texas outfielder Shin-Soo Choo will miss the remainder of the season after having surgery to remove bone spurs from his left elbow, the Rangers announced. Outfielder Michael Choice was recalled to take Choo’s spot on the 25-man roster and was in uniform Monday.

BOISE — The Everett AquaSox were shut out for the second straight game Monday night, falling 3-0 to the Boise Hawks in a Northwest League game.

Hawks starter Trevor Clifton picked up his fourth win of the season, allowing six hits while striking out three in seven innings.

After scoring in the bottom of the first, Boise tacked on two more runs in the fourth inning.

Danny Canela and Jesse Hodges led off the inning with back-toback doubles to give Boise a 2-0 lead. Two outs later an error

by Everett right fielder Corey Simpson allowed another run to score, increasing the Hawks’ lead to 3-0.

Everett starter Jeffeson Medina pitched five innings, allowing three runs, two earned, on four hits while striking out two.

The Aquasox had more hits than Boise — 8-5 — but the Sox were 0-for-5 with runners in scoring position.

Everett has been shut out seven times this season.

three weekend games.

Mikolas spent parts of the last two seasons as a reliever in San Diego before two offseason trades sent him first to Pittsburgh and then to Texas.

He opened the season as reliever at Triple-A Round Rock before injuries at the big-league level forced him into a starting role. Monday was easily his best outing to date.

Easily.

Mikolas limited the Mariners to a three singles in an efficient 92-pitch outing while striking out five and walking one.

Neftali Feliz protected Mikolas’ gem with a scoreless ninth for his seventh save.

Mariners starter Roenis Elias (9-11) wasn’t nearly sharp — he needed 101 pitches to complete five innings — but he yielded just one run and three hits.

The Rangers scored their second run after Leonys Martin led off the seventh inning against Brandon Maurer with a soft chopper past the mound. Second baseman Robinson Cano barehanded the ball and threw wild to first.

Martin wound up on second with a single and an error.

Tomas Telis then put down a perfect bunt that turned into his first major-league hit as Martin went to third.

Rougned Odor’s grounder to short resulted in a force at second and an RBI and a 2-0 lead.

That was it. The Rangers won for just the 13th time in 35 games since the All-Star break.

Texas got it only run against Elias after Elvis Andrus started the fourth inning with a line single to center. Andrus moved to second with one out when Adrian Beltre drew a four-pitch walk.

J.P. Arencibia then lined an RBI single to left. A twoout walk to Martin loaded the bases before Cano saved a run

by making a fine play on Telis’ grounder.

Texas challenged, apparently believing first baseman Logan Morrison didn’t have his foot on the base, but the call stood after a replay review. So Elias limited the damage to one run.

Elias also dodged trouble in the first inning, after Daniel Robertson opened the game with a double into the left-center gap, thanks to some nice defense.

Cano ran down Alex Rios’ pop in short right for an overthe-shoulder catch before Chavez tracked down Beltre’s slicing liner.

Elias needed 26 pitches to get through the first, but he put up a zero — and then struck out the side in the second inning, all swinging.

The Mariners mounted their best threat against Mikolas with two outs in the second inning.

Morrison singled, and Mike Zunino walked, but Mikolas ended the inning when Chavez grounded out to third.

SAN FRANCISCO — Righthander Tim Lincecum has been moved to the San Francisco Giants’ bullpen as he tries to work through his latest struggles.

Yusmeiro Petit will replace him in the rotation, manager Bruce Bochy said Monday. Bochy met with Lincecum (10-9) on Sunday about the decision.

“He’s fine,” Bochy said before his team opened a four-game home series with Colorado. “He’s going to work on some things. It’s no problem with him.”

Lincecum, the two-time NL Cy Young Award winner, is coming off the second-shortest start of his career Saturday at Washington.

He was tagged for six runs, four earned, on six hits with four walks in 22⁄3 innings.

He pitched his second nohitter against San Diego in less than a year June 25, but has lost four out of his last five decisions with just one win in his last seven starts. That comes after a fourstart winning streak beginning with the no-hitter.

Lincecum received a $35 million, two-year contract in late October to stay with the Giants, his only franchise. He is earning $17 million this season.

The 30-year-old Lincecum has experience pitching in relief, going 1-1 during the team’s 2012 run to its second World Series title in three years.

The Giants drafted him 10th overall out of Washington in 2006 and quickly promoted him to the majors in May 2007.

Lincecum — the Cy Young winner in 2008 and 2009, when he won 18 and 15 games, respectively — went 10-14 with a 4.37 ERA and 193 strikeouts over 32 starts last year, his third straight season with a losing record.

Knight From Page C1

High School in 1988, and then headed off to Central Washington University to study construction management. But in the summer before his senior year, and shortly after his marriage, he became the youth pastor at The Rock Church in Monroe, a church founded by his father and mother, Joseph and Linda Knight.

Six years later, Jeff Knight became a head pastor in the most tragic of ways.

On Jan. 31, 2000, his parents were returning from a mission trip to Mexico when their plane — Alaska Airlines Flight 261, bound for San Francisco and then Seattle — crashed in the Pacific Ocean of the southern California coast, killing everyone on board.

Two days later, church board members asked Knight to replace his father as head pastor. Difficult as it was, Knight agreed.

It was the trauma of losing his parents that helped get him started in racing.

“It was a season of my life when I really needed something,” he explained.

“Life was confusing, it was trying and it was hard. I was 29 at the time and I really needed an outlet.”

When a friend approached him about coowning a race car, Knight decided to buy in. For the first five years he was also a low-level crew member.

But when his friend, who was also the driver, decided to move on, the replacement driver turned out to be Knight himself.

On Labor Day weekend of 2006, he took the green flag to begin a late model race for the first time. He had never competed in a hornet, street stock or go-kart, or any of the other classes where novice racers typically get their starts.

There were 13 other cars in his debut race and Knight finished 12th. “One guy crashed and couldn’t finish, but I passed one other guy,” he said, smiling at the memory.

The next year he won for the first time. It was then, and remains now, a moment almost too special for words.

“When you win at Evergreen Speedway, you’ve beaten some of the best in the Northwest,” he said.

“It’s a prominent race track, so (winning) is not easy.”

The feeling of victory that night “was pretty exhilarating,” he added. “It was fists to the sky.”

For Knight, the joy of racing has never diminished, even on his non-winning nights. But as much as

he loves to compete, he has always approached the sport with a higher purpose.

“A lot of guys race for the podium, but I race for the people,” he said. His days at the track are “a chance to blend the pastor Jeff with the racer Jeff. I want to connect with these people ... and to give my life to a (racing) community in a way that’s not only good for my mission of being a pastor and being a man of God, but also a heck of a lot of fun.”

Moreover, his pastoral witness “is a little more authentic because of my racing experience. Because when you strap the helmet on, people listen to you differently than when you’re just a (crew) member.”

Though Knight tries to be “the same person on and off the track,” emotions sometimes overflow.

In an Aug. 16 race, he started from back in the field and began working his way to the front, picking off one car after another.

Everything seemed to be working perfectly, right up until the late-race moment when another driver made an ill-advised move, lost control, and took out Knight and some other cars.

Back in the pits, “I lost my cool,” he admitted. “I was mad. I was yelling. But those guys are my friends,

and they’d yell at me, too (if the situation was reversed).

We’re racing, it’s very intense ... and I’m as passionate as anybody else.”

“Jeff is definitely passionate about his racing,” said Doni Wanat of Woodinville, who has raced against Knight for three years and calls him a friend. “In the race car, he’s really no different than any of the rest of us. If you drive him clean, he’ll drive you clean. And if you don’t drive him clean, then he’s going to rough you up, too.”

Once the green flag drops, Wanat added, “I’m just another racer to him and he’s just another racer to me. I’ve run into him and he’s run into me. ...

We can all shake hands after the race, but during the race we’re going to do whatever it takes to win.”

Said Knight: “I don’t ever want to be the token race car driver, the pastor guy. I want to be treated like a race car driver. And the downside of that is that sometimes I whup on the friends who attend my church.”

Yes, the ministry that began at the speedway is bearing fruit. Though Knight tries not to be pushy about his faith, he is always willing to listen and confide. It begins with the members of his own crew — “I’ve got guys on my team that know Christ and guys that don’t,” he said — and it extends to the broader Evergreen

Speedway family, including some of his late model rivals.

“For a lot of them, I’m their pastor,” he said. “I sit with them when they’re going through trouble and conflict in life. I’ve buried their kids. I’ve married their kids. ... I’ve had church services with nine or 10 of my competitors at the service with their whole families. Some of these are people who’d never set foot in a church their whole life. And some I pastored at the track for years before they ever set foot in church.”

A few late model drivers had close family members die in recent years “and Jeff has been there for those people,” said Wanat, who has attended The Rock Church with his wife for two years. “And some of those guys didn’t even talk to Jeff before. ... He’s always been there in a time of need. His pastoring absolutely overflows into the racetrack.”

One of Knight’s crew members recently sent him a heartfelt and deeply personal text message. “He said, ‘Thank you for teaching me to be a man. I had no idea. I thought I was just supposed to provide shelter and food for my sons, and you’ve taught me that I’m supposed to help them find their way.’ This guy has been on my team for two years and he’s just now coming across that finish line. I can’t replace that

kind of stuff.”

Between racing and preaching, weekends are often the busiest two days of Knight’s week, at least during the Evergreen Speedway season. He spends much of Saturday at the track for testing and qualifying, followed by an evening race. Then he heads to his Lake Stevens home to sleep, though “sometimes you lay awake until 3 o’clock, your eyes open, staring at the ceiling, replaying the events of the day and wondering what you could’ve done differently.” Or to put it another way, “sometimes I have to detoxify,” he said.

But a few hours later he is in the car and on his way to church with his wife Melinda and their young daughter Seven. And for all the thrills that come with Saturday racing, his Sunday mornings in church are no less exciting.

“My weekend is never finished until church is over,” he said. “I run on energy drinks and just passion because I love what I do. It’s not hard to motivate me. It’s never just a sermon. I’m trying to impart something that’ll change lives, in the same way it changed my life and my family’s life.”

And whether he is racing at Evergreen Speedway or facing his congregation from the pulpit, “I’m the same guy,” he said. “I’m trying to be authentic and win people for Christ.”
