Nearly all schools ‘failing’ Email Washington was the first state to lose a waiver exempting it from rigorous requirements under federal law.

By Jerry Cornfield Herald Writer

OLYMPIA — Students in Washington public schools are doing as well as they ever have

on mandated reading and writing tests.

And the class of 2014 attained one of the highest graduation rates on record in the state.

But when viewed under the

microscope of the federal No Child Left Behind law, nine out of 10 elementary and secondary schools in the state are failing — including nearly every one in Snohomish County.

That’s the dichotomy depicted Wednesday in reams of data distributed by Superintendent of Public Instruction Randy Dorn.

It was the federal government’s perception of Washington schools that got Dorn fired up and promising to regain a waiver to the law so the labels can be removed.

“By losing our waiver we’ve had to do some things that I See SCHOOLS, Page A2

itself so future generations won’t struggle to keep it going.

“I feel like it’s our turn,” Renee said. “They’ve handed it to us, so we need to get it ready for the next generation.”

Renee, 47, is the fifth generation of Schwarzmillers on the farm.

“And generation six is around,” she said. “They come help out.”

MUKILTEO — Recently married Mayor Jennifer Gregerson is planning a European honeymoon with stops that could include German breweries, brunch in Paris and a drive on the Le Mans Formula One racetrack.

Prior to her wedding, a city of Mukilteo employee emailed coworkers, soliciting donations for Gregerson’s honeymoon fund. At a Web registry site, honeyfund.com, donors could earmark money for various European stops.

The email was sent by Carmen Roberts, an accounting technician in the finance department, on July 3 via her city email account to other city email accounts. “Mayor is tying the knot this month,” it begins.

“She and her husband-to-be set up a honeymoon fund that allows them to make their European honeymoon that much more enjoyable,” including spa treatments, a visit to Mont Saint-Michel, driving Germany’s Autobahn or a day in Monaco.

Copies of the email and responses to it were acquired

by The Herald through a public records request.

Although requests for donations to events such as weddings, graduations and births are common in many offices, the question of city employees giving money to an elected official has raised some eyebrows.

In an interview, Gregerson said it’s not unusual for city employees to inform coworkers of life events.

A baby shower was recently held for a coworker at lunch. “I think that’s part of a friendly workplace, where people can share each other’s lives and connections,” she said. “I think that’s reasonable.”

LAKE STEVENS — The verdant green fields along the Pilchuck River, crowned by a big red barn, have been farmed by the Schwarzmiller family since 1903.

It’s challenging to keep a family farm going, but the Schwarzmillers have pulled together to bring their piece of

Snohomish County history into a new generation.

They were recognized as the 2014 Snohomish County Centennial Farm Family at the Evergreen State Fair. Each year, the county honors a farm that has been family-owned and continuously operated for a century or more.

Farming means constantly adapting to changing demands, Renee said.

Among the “stupid” things are letters principals had to send parents informing them of the situation. In some cases, parents were told they can transfer their child to a nonfailing school or get them special tutoring services when classes begin Sept. 3.

Those missives took time to write and cost money to send, Dorn said. The information they contained is bound to confuse parents

The youngest member of the sixth generation is a 20-month-old niece.

“We make sure she experiences the farm whenever she’s out,” Renee said.

Judd Schwarzmiller, Renee’s father, handles day-to-day upkeep on the farm. He’s the glue that holds it all together, Renee said. He tackles whatever problems need solving and takes care of basic chores, from feeding and checking on the animals to repairing fences and maintaining equipment.

The Schwarzmillers produce more than 2,000 bales of hay a year and have 29 cows on the farm.

They’re also starting to raise sheep.

A longtime family friend nominated the Schwarzmillers as the centennial

and even breed mistrust in the district and government, he said.

The letters are a requirement of the 2001 federal law that directed states to set standards for student achievement in math, reading and English language at each grade level.

Under the law, 100 percent of students must meet those state-drafted standards by 2014 and if just one student fails to do so, the school is deemed failing and letters must be sent.

Overall, 1,916 schools, or 88.1 percent, did not meet the standard and needed to send out letters. Only 260 schools met

After learning about the award, Renee spent nearly two months researching her family’s genealogy and digging into the history of the farm.

“It’s interesting and fun to see the evolution,” Renee said.

The family started out producing lumber as they cleared the land in the early 1900s. After the trees were cut down, they grew grain in the low, flat areas near the river. The Schwarzmillers have tried their hand at raising pigs, growing potatoes, milking dairy cows and gathering chicken eggs.

Renee’s grandfather was also an accomplished blacksmith. The family still has the equipment he used.

Evelyn Schwarzmiller, Renee’s grandmother, married onto the family farm and has been there for about 70 years. She’ll be 90 next week.

Gov. Jay Inslee said the federal law paints an inaccurate picture of Washington public schools.

“We know that 88 percent of our schools aren’t failing but federal law gives superintendents no choice but to send out these letters,” Inslee spokesman David Postmen wrote in an email. “As school starts in Washington, the governor knows that students and

but it’s busy,” Evelyn said.

“We did a lot of work on it, that’s for sure. We had to all work together.”

She remembers the toil, cleaning out the milk tank and gathering eggs.

She also remembers the joy. The family held barn dances, some to benefit the American Legion and others just for fun.

Now, Evelyn can sit with family in front of her house overlooking the fields and enjoy a sunny afternoon swapping stories with four generations of Schwarzmillers.

Zach, 27, is part of the youngest generation. He recently got married on the farm, a family tradition. He works in real estate but tries to help with the hay and animals when he can. The best part is the fresh food, particularly the steaks, he said.

educators will be working hard for constant improvement and believe, as he does, that all students can succeed.

Dorn wants to regain the waiver. He’ll ask lawmakers to pass a bill in 2015, one they rejected in the 2014 session, to require student test scores to be used in teacher performance evaluations.

U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan has said if such a bill became a law, the waiver would be restored.

But the statewide teachers union, the Washington Education Association, lobbied hard against it. In the end, a coalition of liberal

“They all band together,” Jeff said. “It’s just this band of hooligans.”

Their accomplishments are tempered by challenges. Despite constant hard work, it’s nearly impossible to get a family farm to be self-supporting, Judd said.

It’s difficult to spend enough time on the farm.

“You’re not going to make enough money to make a living, so you have to have a day job,” Jeff said.

“You have to have at least one person off the farm to pay for the farm.”

Jeff and Renee work as denturists in Snohomish.

But Renee said she’d like to focus more on the farm. She and Jeff aim to set things up so it pays for itself.

They plan to create a largely in-house operation by growing all of the hay for their animals, butchering the beef cattle and selling directly to private buyers. They already sell most of their beef directly to people who hear about the farm through word of mouth.

“We want to create a business that can keep on going,” Renee said.

“But you have to change, just like all the changes that have happened since 1903, so that in 100 years, we’ll still be here.”

“Yeah,” Jeff agreed.

“It’ll be generation 12 by then.”

Democrats and conservative Republicans in the Senate defeated the proposed legislation.

“We had what I called the most reasonable bill in the nation,” Dorn said.

“It’ll be the exact same bill.

We worked our tails off last year. I take my hat off to the WEA. They did a better job than we did.

Rich Wood, WEA spokesman, said the waiver bill should not be reintroduced.

“We need the Legislature to focus on their paramount duty to fully fund

But there’s a difference between a request for financial donations to Gregerson’s honeymoon fund and someone announcing that their kid is, say, selling Girl Scout cookies, said Toby Nixon, president of the Washington Coalition for Open Government.

Nixon was once appointed by the Kirkland City Council to draft an ethics and conduct policy for council members and boards and commissions.

“Is there an implied threat that if you don’t contribute to the boss’ gift, then that’s going to be a problem?” Nixon said. “That’s why it might be slightly more of a concern than the more routine socializing type of things.”

Gregerson and her husband, Jeff Wakeman, were married July 12. Gregerson said the dates of their honeymoon trip have not been set, but it will probably occur next year.

Roberts, the city employee who sent the email, declined to comment, referring the matter to Rex Caldwell, the city’s acting management services director.

Caldwell said that employees donated about $200 to the fund, and all donations were made anonymously. The money was collected by Carl Grimes, an accounting manager who is Roberts’ boss.

Gregerson “had a registry like everybody else in America,” Caldwell said. “I can attest to the fact that she knew nothing about it” beforehand. A wedding card for Gregerson was sent around to employees, he said. “I can’t say there was any pressure.”

Asked about the

our public schools,” he said.

“That should be the focus of the 2015 Legislature.”

Sen. Rosemary McAuliffe, D-Bothell, ranking minority member of the Senate education committee, opposed the waiver bill. She said what happens in 2015 depends on how parents react to the letters about their child’s failing school.

“We know it’s a failed policy,” she said of the federal law. “If parents and schools believe it is important we follow federal policy, we will certainly listen.”

solicitation for gifts to a publicly elected boss, Gregerson said: “I don’t know the names or whether anyone participated or didn’t participate. I wasn’t aware that the staff had decided to make that request” until later. “They followed the city policy as far as the email system goes.”

“I would hope any of our employees who feel any pressure to participate or felt it was inappropriate” would contact the city human relations manager anonymously “and express that concern,” the mayor said. “We would certainly consider a new direction” were that to occur.

Gregerson, 36, said she and her husband decided to set up the trip registry because “at this stage in my life I didn’t think we needed a bunch of kitchen supplies. You can create a registry and brainstorm fun things that people could contribute to.”

There was only one response to Roberts’ email soliciting donations to the mayor’s honeymoon fund.

It came from a member of the police department who said that another officer was getting married and he was sure that the employee “would appreciate any donation to help with his honeymoon also.”

Roberts responded that she would definitely like to contribute to that fund, too, and thought other employees would as well.

In a July 24 “thank you” email to city employees, Gregerson noted that the donations by city employees to the honeymoon fund were anonymous.

Caldwell said he didn’t think that the city needed to make changes to rules regarding email use. “I believe this to be perfectly innocent on the part of Carmen (Roberts) and her boss,” he said.

Tacoma cops use cell surveillance device Associated Press and staff reports TACOMA — A newspaper reported Wednesday that Tacoma police have purchased and used surveillance equipment that can sweep up records of cellphone calls, text messages and data transfers up to a half mile away.

The device is small enough to be carried in a car and tricks cellphones into thinking it’s a cell

tower, drawing in their information, The News Tribune reported.

The Tacoma Police Department has not confirmed that it has such a device, called a Stingray. However, Pierce County sheriff’s spokesman Ed Troyer said Tuesday that the Police Department sometimes uses the device to assist the sheriff’s office.

Troyer said the sheriff’s department has asked Tacoma police to use its Stingray on Pierce

County’s behalf in at least two cases since April. One man threw a bottle of gunpowder at a victim.

The sheriff’s office got a warrant to locate the suspect, who was then arrested.

The News Tribune says public records, as well as other documents it has reviewed, indicate the Police Department has had the ability to wirelessly search neighborhoods since 2008.

Police Chief Don Ramsdell

declined an interview request to talk about the department’s apparent purchase of a Stingray device and associated technology.

The Everett Police Department does not own that kind of device, according to its records unit.

Neither does the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office.

“We do have access to the technology via other agencies,” sheriff’s spokeswoman Shari

First place is at the fair

Ireton said. “If we were to utilize Stingray, we’d be required to get a court-issued warrant first.”

Law enforcement agencies can use such devices to track a cell signal to learn a person’s location, whom he communicates with, for how long and how often. Investigators can use the technology to find drug dealers and criminals.

By Amy Nile Herald Writer

MONROE — The elephant ears are frying, the Ferris wheel is rolling and the animals are strutting their stuff at the Evergreen State Fair.

While the fair is about food and fun for most people, it’s 12 days of hard work in the heat for others. As usual, hundreds of teens from around Snohomish County have found ways to earn extra cash at this summer’s event.

Many are working their first-ever jobs at the fair while others are seasoned pros.

Madison Berry and Zoie Miller, both 19, of Gold Bar, fit into the latter category. They’ve been emptying the more than 300 garbage cans at the fairgrounds for four years now. It’s a dirty job, but they don’t mind doing it to earn

Miller, who is about 5 feet tall and 90 pounds, said sometimes the garbage bags, which can weigh more than 100 pounds, are bigger than she is. That’s when she teams with Berry to get the bags where they need to go.

“I think you could say we enjoy it,” Berry said. “It’s a job that allows us to work and still have some summer left.”

Lexie Adams and Emily Beach, both 15, of Sultan, have found work serving fair food. They’re selling fresh-squeezed lemonade and salads alongside almost 70 other teens to earn money for their marching band.

EVERETT — Snohomish County is one step closer to opening a home for former sex workers trying to rebuild their lives.

Organizers working to establish Peoria Home recently were notified that the program received nonprofit status. That means donations will be tax deductible. The board hopes that will help fundraising efforts.

Peoria Home will be a twoyear program for women who have worked as prostitutes. It will give them a place to live, drug and alcohol treatment, counseling, medical and dental care, education and job training. Eventually, the program will include a small business run by the participants to help them build job skills and also make money to support the program.

“We want to help them redefine their lives,” said Paula Newman-Skomski, a nurse with Providence Intervention Center for Assault and Abuse.

It is estimated that about 250 girls and women are engaged in prostitution in Snohomish County, Newman-Skomski said. That is a rough estimate because prostitution and sex trafficking mostly have gone underground with “dates” being arranged online instead of women walking the streets.

Most women and adolescents who work as prostitutes have been sexually or physically abused growing up and have run away from home.

Pimps often target teens without strong family ties. The sex workers often turn to drugs and alcohol to cope with the lifestyle, Newman-Skomski said.

“They haven’t completed their education. They don’t have other job skills. It’s a very difficult cycle to break,” she said.

Immigration changes coming Associated Press WASHINGTON — The White House is crafting a blame-iton-Congress legal justification to back up President Barack Obama’s impending executive actions on immigration.

Facing an expected onslaught of opposition, the administration plans to argue that Congress failed to provide enough resources to fully enforce U.S. laws, thereby ceding wide latitude to White House to prioritize deportations of the 11.5 million people who are in the country illegally, administration officials and legal experts said. But Republicans, too, are exploring their legal options for stopping Obama from what they’ve deemed egregious presidential overreaching.

A self-imposed, end-ofsummer deadline to act on immigration is rapidly approaching. While Obama has yet to receive the formal recommendations he’s requested from Homeland

Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, administration officials said the president is intimately familiar with the universe of options and won’t spend much time deliberating once Johnson delivers his recommendations.

After resisting calls to act alone in hopes Congress would pass a comprehensive immigration fix, Obama in June bowed to immigration activists and said that “if Congress will not do their job, at least we can do ours.” The most sweeping, controversial step under consideration involves halting deportation for millions, a major expansion of a 2012 Obama program that deferred prosecutions for those brought here illegally as children.

Roughly half a million have benefited from that program, known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals or DACA. But while prosecutors are routinely expected to use their discretion on a case-by-case basis, such blanket exempting of entire categories of people has never been done on the

scale of what Obama is considering — potentially involving many millions of people if he extends relief to parents of DACA children, close relatives of U.S. citizens or immigrants with clean criminal records.

“The question is how broadly can the president extend the categories and still stay on the side of spectrum of ensuring the laws are faithfully executed?” said Cristina Rodriguez, who left the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel in 2013.

Other options under consideration, such as changes to how green cards are distributed and counted, might be less controversial because of the support they enjoy from the business community and other influential groups. But Derrick Morgan, a former adviser to Vice President Dick Cheney and a scholar at the conservative Heritage Foundation, said Obama will still face staunch opposition as long as he attempts an end run around Congress.

Obama’s goal had been to

announce his decision around Labor Day, before leaving on a trip next week to Estonia and Wales. But a host of national security crises have pushed the announcement back, likely until after Obama returns, said the officials.

Obama’s actions will almost surely be challenged in court.

Republicans are already hinting that they’ll consider legal action to thwart what they’ve denounced as a violation of the separation of powers. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, this month accused Obama of “threatening to rewrite our immigration laws unilaterally.”

“If the president fails to faithfully execute the laws of our country, we will hold him accountable,” Boehner reportedly said.

The House already has passed legislation to block Obama from expanding DACA and, through its power of the purse, could attempt to cut off funds needed to implement the expansion.

Cowabunga! Waves roll in Lifeguards report that there were 60 rescues along the coast Wednesday.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — A U.S. Coast Guard vessel fired in self-defense on an Iranian boat in the Persian Gulf, the Navy said Wednesday, an encounter that could exacerbate tensions between the two countries as they work to hammer out a lasting deal over Iran’s nuclear program.

Cmdr. Kevin Stephens, a spokesman for the U.S. Navy’s Bahrain-based 5th Fleet, said personnel on a small boat dispatched from the U.S. Coast Guard patrol boat Monomoy fired a single shot when it saw

SALT LAKE CITY — A federal judge has issued a final ruling that strikes down parts of the state’s anti-polygamy law, in a lawsuit filed by a family that appears on the TV show “Sister Wives.”

The U.S. District judge ruled in favor of the stars of the TLC reality show in December, but the decision wasn’t finalized due to unresolved, procedural issues. The ruling is a landmark decision and a victory for the Brown family. Kody Brown and his four wives sued Utah in 2011 after a county prosecutor threatened to charge them under the state’s bigamy law. The judge ruled that a provision in the law forbidding cohabitation violates the Browns’ freedom of religion.

Virginia: F-15 flier missing An experienced pilot was missing Wednesday after the flier’s F-15 fighter jet crashed in the mountains, shaking residents but causing no injuries on the ground, military and law enforcement officials said. The pilot of the singleseat jet was headed to New Orleans for radar installation as part of routine maintenance and reported an inflight emergency, then lost radio contact, authorities said. The pilot and jet are with the 104th Fighter Wing of the Massachusetts Air National Guard, officials there said. It was unclear whether the pilot had ejected.

Ohio: Amish beard cutting

D.C.: Immune in beating

CHRIS CARLSON / ASSOCIATED PRESS

A bogie-boarder rides a wave in Newport Beach, California, on Wednesday. Southern California beachgoers experienced much higher than normal surf, brought on by Hurricane Marie spinning off the coast of Mexico.

Lifeguards up and down the coast sought to keep anyone out of the water who did not have strong experience and were kept busy making rescues all day. There were 60 rescues Wednesday in the area.

Residents of about four blocks of homes along Seal Beach, south of Los Angeles, swept seawater from groundfloor rooms after flooding overnight, and bulldozers reinforced a 6-foot-tall sand berm hastily built to protect shoreline structures.

The berm — a measure normally not needed until winter storms — and the use of pumps prevented more water intrusion during the morning high tide, and another test was expected close to midnight.

The towering waves and rip currents were being produced by swells generated by

Hurricane Marie in the Pacific Ocean about 800 miles west of the southern tip of Mexico’s Baja California peninsula.

While hurricane-generated waves reached California’s shores, the storm itself would remain far from the state.

Marie will likely weaken to tropical storm levels, but lifethreatening water conditions were expected to continue through Thursday.

Two cargo terminals at the Port of Long Beach stopped operations late Tuesday because surging, 10- to 15-foothigh waves endangered dockworkers. The powerful surge also tossed heavy rocks from a seawall onto a road, causing damage and closing the roadway.

On Santa Catalina Island south of Los Angeles, a heavy surge Tuesday night sent sand,

water and some 3,000-pound rocks into a boatyard, causing substantial damage and tossing some dry-docked boats off their stands, Avalon Harbor Master Brian Bray said.

Along the shoreline in Seal Beach, firefighters went door to door, dropping off more sandbags for residents and surveying damage after the initial surge late Tuesday that topped a 2 ½ foot beach wall, causing flooding in or around the first row of homes. About 100 residences were affected, Orange County Fire Authority Capt.

Steve Concialdi said.

The Malibu Pier was closed after pilings were knocked loose. The pier’s structural integrity remained sound because of redundancy but people were asked to stay away, State Parks Department official Craig Sap he said.

Judge rules against Utah polygamy ban

Personal conflict, not religion, was the driving motive behind beard- and hair-cutting attacks targeting Amish, an appeals court panel ruled Wednesday in overturning the hate-crime convictions of 16 men and women. A 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel sided with arguments brought by attorneys for the Amish defendants, who were convicted two years ago in five attacks in 2011. The attacks were in apparent retaliation against Amish who had defied or denounced the authoritarian style of Sam Mullet Sr., leader of the Bergholz community in eastern Ohio.

Associated Press NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. — Thundering surf spawned by a Pacific hurricane pounded the Southern California coast Wednesday, causing minor flooding in a low-lying beach town while drawing daredevil surfers and body-boarders into churning, 20-foot waves as crowds of spectators lined the shore.

Despite the danger, surfers, body-boarders and body-surfers flocked to favorite spots such as the notorious Wedge at Newport Beach, where the interaction of swells and a jetty produced huge waves, and cars were backed up for miles along the only road to the narrow peninsula.

Big crowds watched surfers in the morning, while bodysurfers took on the surf in the afternoon.

Among them was Joshua Magner, 35, who has been surfing since he was 10, and said being in the water in Wednesday’s waves was life-altering.

“It’s like being born,” he said as he zipped his wetsuit and prepared to go back out. “You don’t know what the outcome will be, but when you do make it through all that pressure is alleviated, it’s liberation, truly the feeling of liberation.” Asked if he was afraid, he replied, “I was scared leaving my house.

Dude, I was scared last night. I couldn’t sleep.”

Some gawkers had to park nearly two miles away and walk to the scene. One man rode a skateboard, carrying a baby. A man put a sign on his car offering his parking space for cash and another was selling commemorative T-shirts for $20 apiece.

crew on a nearby Iranian dhow training one of its two .50-caliber machine guns on them and preparing to fire.

“This action by the dhow’s crew demonstrated hostile intent which resulted in the defensive fire by the Coast Guardsmen,” he said. Dhows are traditional wooden boats common to the region that are typically used for trade.

No Americans were wounded in the encounter, which happened in international waters around 11:30 a.m. local time Tuesday, Stephens said.

The Monomoy was operating

on “a routine maritime security operation” when it contacted the dhow’s bridge. After initial contact, the Iranian vessel stopped communicating and the Coast Guard ship deployed small boat to investigate, Stephens said.

It was not clear if the shot hit the Iranian vessel or if anyone onboard was injured.

American, Iranian and other countries’ military vessels routinely patrol the Gulf, a key route for international oil shipments, usually without incident.

Speed boats from Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, however,

have passed close to U.S. ships in incidents that have raised alarm in Washington.

Tuesday’s encounter happened as the U.S. and other world powers negotiate with Iran over its controversial nuclear program, and just days after Iran claimed it shot down a purported Israeli drone near a nuclear facility.

The West and Israel believe the program is aimed at building a nuclear weapon. Iran denies the charge, saying its nuclear activities are for peaceful purposes only, such as power generation and medical research.

The ambassador of Equatorial Guinea is suspected of beating his daughter with a wooden chair leg but won’t be arrested because he has diplomatic immunity, police said Wednesday.

Arlington County Police were called to the diplomatic residence Monday night for the report of a man beating a girl. A police spokesman said the girl, 16, sustained a “significant laceration” to her head, bruises and a swollen eye. She was taken to Virginia Hospital Center.

The diplomatic residence in Arlington, Virginia, is the home of Ambassador Ruben Maye Nsue Mangue.

Texas: Chikungunya virus Public health officials have confirmed the first human case of the chikungunya virus in Dallas. County Health and Human Services on Wednesday confirmed the first case in the city. The person was infected with the virus during a recent trip to the Dominican Republic. The Dallas resident was diagnosed after returning to North Texas.

It’s at least the 14th Texas case of the illness, which is considered rarely fatal but marked by joint pain, fever, muscle aches and rash.

New York: Disability scam A retired member of the New York City Police Department pleaded guilty Wednesday to charges that he led a ring that directed hundreds of applicants for disability benefits to lie about their psychiatric conditions. Joseph Esposito, 70, of Valley Stream, New York, is one of four people accused of directing the ring, which netted about $21.5 million in fraudulent benefits, according to Manhattan district attorney’s office. Esposito was accused of recruiting three-quarters of the applicants indicted in the scheme, coaching them on how to participate and collecting kickbacks, the office said.

AROUND THE WORLD Uruguay: Home grown People who want to grow marijuana at home were able to register to do so Wednesday as the government launched the latest phase in its first-of-its-kind legalization. Under a law that went into effect in May, citizens or legal residents who are at least 18 can grow marijuana for personal use if they register. There is a limit of six female plants, with an annual harvest of up to 480 grams.

Walmart girds for opening Yet another county store is expected to open in Monroe in November.

By Jim Davis The Herald Business Journal

EVERETT — Snohomish County’s newest Walmart is almost finished with children’s coats hanging from racks, ice cream stacked in freezers and Blu-ray DVDs piled in bins.

The 90,000-square-foot store across from the Everett Mall is scheduled to open in early September.

The store hired about 200 employees and is still looking to add another 20 to 30 to help with the upcoming holiday season, said Kirsten Twiss, a shift manager.

The newest location is at the

former Top Foods supermarket at 1605 SE Everett Mall Way. The retail giant bought the property about four years ago for $10 million. The store will include a deli and grocery aisles that offer local vegetables and fruit and wine.

This is the seventh Walmart in the county with the eighth expected to open in Monroe in November.

Last week, employees bustled through the new Everett store, stocking shelves, taking inventory and learning new jobs.

One of those teaching the sales clerks was Aileen Bryant, who lives in Silver Lake. She’s new to Walmart herself, but has a great deal of experience in retail starting on Feb. 22, 1984. She was most recently working at 7-Eleven in Silver Lake.

Bryant took the job at Walmart, because it has flexible hours

and she’ll get vacation and sick time. And there’s a chance for advancement.

“This is a great opportunity for me to really move up,” said Bryant, then pointing to Twiss’ employee badge. “I want what hers says.”

The average salary for Walmart employees in Washington is $13.41 an hour and it’s slightly higher at the Everett store, Twiss said.

Katie Pinfield, of Lynnwood, left an office job to work at the new store as a claims supervisor, dealing with vendors to get credit for merchandise damaged during shipping. She said she wanted a non-desk job.

Pinfield said getting the store ready for opening has been a challenge, but they think they’re ready. “(Twiss) told us it would be

hard, but everybody’s pulling together,” Pinfield said.

Cramming you in pays airlines “You don’t get a Mercedes S Class for a Ford Fusion price,” airline boss says.

The Washington Post WASHINGTON — When two United Airlines passengers did battle this week over legroom, they touched a nerve among cramped passengers everywhere.

Fliers aren’t imagining it: Airliners across the country have pushed for years for denser, more lucrative cabins — and jet makers are unveiling innovative new ways to cram more passengers into shrinking seats.

The average short-haul passenger aboard a U.S. airliner gets 32 inches of “seat pitch,” an industry term for the space between rows, an analysis of data from travel compendium SeatGuru show.

But 11 of the 13 biggest U.S. airliners run short-haul flights with even less legroom, and some allow much less. Spirit Airlines offers the smallest space between rows, at 28 inches, about the size of a computer monitor.

JetBlue Airways and Virgin America now provide the roomiest arrangements, with an economyrow average of about 35 inches.

But even those jetliners aren’t opposed to shrinking fliers’ space.

When JetBlue announced it would double the number of “Even More Space” seats on its Embraer E-190 fleet, it stole away the roominess from other coach seats.

Cramping matters even further, Spirit and fellow budget airline Allegiant Air have removed the reclining features from their seats, locking seat backs eternally upright. (In the tradition of corporate euphemisms, Spirit calls

The rankings of legroom on economy-class seats for flights six hours or less. Each carrier flies a number of different jet models, so the amount of legroom you get will vary.

the seats “pre-reclined.”)

“It’s one of the most unmistakable trends over the past number of years: densification,” said Seth Kaplan, an analyst for Airline Weekly, an industry publication.

“And it’s accelerated with the fact that flights are much fuller than they used to be. Back in the days when flights were two-thirds full, who cared how many seats were onboard?”

The space between seats has fallen from around 33 to 34 inches before 2001 to around 30 to 31 inches now, according to Henry Harteveldt, founder and travel industry analyst at the Atmosphere Research Group.

Airlines have also installed skinnier seat cushions, pushed for “ultra slimline” rows and shoehorned in more seats to

profit from more paying passengers. In 2012, most of Boeing’s most popular aircraft, the 777, were delivered with 10 seats to a row, breaking from a decadeslong tradition of nine-seat rows.

Airbus, the French plane maker that originally designed its A320 jet to fly with 150 seats, is now pushing to pack in up to 186 passengers. Other proposals have hewed towards the bizarre: In June, the firm submitted a patent for a tiny swiveling toadstool that looks like a bicycle seat.

“You don’t get a Mercedes S Class for a Ford Fusion price,” Spirit chief executive Ben Baldanza said last year. “If you want more legroom — go pay for it at another airline.”

Airlines have offered plusher arrangements for a price, but

even that doesn’t prevent neighbors from sparring. Indeed, the battle of the “knee defender,” a $21.95 device that clamps onto the tray table preventing the next seat up from leaning back, raged in United Airlines’ “Economy Plus” section, where coach fliers can pay a premium for four extra inches of precious room.

United Airlines and other U.S. carriers have banned the device, and the Federal Aviation Administration restricts its use during taxi, takeoff and landing.

Travelers, as they often do, disagree on whether reclining one’s seat is a civil right or searing wrong. But nearly everyone has found something to complain with regarding the coach-cabin crunch. A TripAdvisor survey in June found fliers were most peeved when planes had limited legroom and uncomfortable seats, with their complaints even outnumbering costly airline fees and erratic delays.

So why aren’t airliners giving passengers more breathing room? Simple: Cramming pays.

Spirit — the no-frills, high-fee airline that Consumer Reports last year gave one of the lowest overall scores for any company, ever — enjoys one of the highest profit margins of all jetliners, and posted half a billion dollars in revenue in the second quarter, 22 percent higher than the same time last year.

Meanwhile, investors have routinely dogged the performance of the spacious-seated JetBlue, with investors egging the jetliner to tack on fees and, yes, add more seats. Analyst Helane Becker said, “The revenue benefit to the company would probably trump any customer pushback.”

EVCC center to combine technical training

By Jim Davis The Herald Business Journal

EVERETT — More than 200 advanced manufacturing businesses call Snohomish County home, producing everything from airplanes to medical devices.

And those businesses need a trained workforce.

“People want what we have and they’re very aggressive at trying to recruit businesses away and they do that by trying to meet the needs of those businesses,” said John Bonner, Everett

Community College’s executive director of Corporate & Continuing Education.

A key to providing a trained workforce in Snohomish County could be the new $3.75 million Advance Manufacturing Training Education Center opening at EvCC in September.

The center will provide handson training for students in all areas of manufacturing.

It will put several existing programs under one roof while providing new classrooms, computer labs and shop space as well

More important than having the programs close together is that the center is structured so that students can learn manufacturing from design to production to quality control and even recycling of the final product, said Sheila Dunn, EvCC’s associate dean of aerospace and advanced manufacturing. “(The students) see the life of the manufacturing process and see how each rivet or each piece of fiber core is an important piece of the product that ultimately

Many checking accounts now cost $150 a year The cost of consumer checking accounts at U.S. banks and thrifts hit new highs during the first six months this year, according to the latest survey of 100 banks by MoneyRates. com. The availability of free checking accounts, defined as those with no monthly maintenance fees, continued to decline. The percentage of free accounts dropped to 28 percent, down from 36.6 percent at the end of 2012 and the lowest share of all checking accounts since the survey began in 2009. The average monthly maintenance fee rose by 15 cents to $12.69 during the first six months of 2014, meaning it costs the average consumer more than $150 a year just to keep a checking account open, MoneyRates said.

Ports forge pact on health care plan Negotiators hoping to forge a new contract for dockworkers and keep hundreds of billions of dollars in cargo moving smoothly through West Coast seaports made progress with a tentative deal on health care benefits, a knotty issue that tied up talks for months. West Coast dockworkers have generous health benefits — so generous, argue their employers who pay for the coverage, that the insurance plan has become riddled with fraud. During contract talks, employers focused on limiting fraud as a way to reduce an impending tax on high-end health plans.

No details were disclosed on the tentative health care agreement.

Salvage logging near Yosemite approved A Forest Service decision Wednesday will allow loggers to remove dead trees from 52 square miles of forests blackened last year in a massive California wildfire, a move contested by environmentalists. The decision came amid a standoff between environmentalists and supporters of the timber industry over what to do with the trees that died in the massive Rim Fire, which started Aug. 17, 2013, and burned more than 400 square miles of the Stanislaus National Forest, Yosemite National Park’s backcountry and private timber land. It threatened thousands of structures, destroyed 11 homes and cost more than $125 million to fight.

Kia Motors plans new plant in Mexico Kia Motors Corp. plans to build its first assembly plant in Mexico as the South Korean automaker follows European and Asian rivals in adding regional production. Mexico’s president said Wednesday the company will invest more than $1 billion in the factory and attract another $1.5 billion from Kia suppliers in Mexico. The plant will produce 300,000 vehicles a year and be completed in the first half of 2016, a Kia spokesman said in Mexico City. The nation’s output is poised to surpass 3 million vehicles this year.

Market Report THE DAILY HERALD

THE DAY ON WALL STREET Even in a daylong sideways drift, the S&P 500 managed to eke out its third record close in three days.

U.S. stocks ended essentially flat on Wednesday after spending much of the day wavering between tiny gains and losses. Overall trading volume was about one-third below the recent average, reflecting an absence of major market-moving news and the approaching Labor Day holiday weekend. It was a sharp contrast to the day before, when the S&P 500 closed above 2,000 for the first time.

talking about it for a long time,” Bonner said. “We’ve just been looking for the right space.”

EvCC has also obtained $3 million dollars for faculty, staff, equipment, curriculum and supplies for the center. About 30 full- and part-time faculty will teach at the center.

Four existing EvCC programs will be moved to the center when it opens: welding and fabrication; precision machining; composites; and engineering technology.

The center will also include the manufacturing employment readiness certificate, an entry-level program to introduce students to the manufacturing environment.

Right now, these programs are spread all over the county. EvCC uses classroom space and equipment for its Composites program at Snohomish High School. Because it shares space with the high school, EvCC has only been able to offer composites classes in the late afternoons and evenings.

The precision machining program has been housed in a small hangar at Paine Field for the past couple of years, and before that was co-located at the SnoIsle Tech Skills Center in Mukilteo.

Welding and fabrication and engineering technology have been taught on

the main campus.

Students will be able to get certificates in each of these programs or they can stack these certificates to obtain a two-year degree, Bonner said.

Precision machining and welding are two programs in which skilled workers are in particularly high demand, Bonner said.

Ninety percent of EvCC’s precision machining students find jobs within 30 days of graduation, he said.

By design, the center serves more than Boeing and the aerospace industry. It is expected to give students basic skills to work in all sorts of industries.

“You could go out and work on the 787 or you could also go work for a screwdriver manufacturer,” Dunn said. “It doesn’t really matter in terms of the core competencies.”

Another benefit of the center is that it will allow the college to train more students. Last school year, about 900 students took classes in these programs.

EvCC expects to train 1,000 students in the first year that the Advanced Manufacturing center is open. And that number is expected to grow by 10 percent to 30 percent in the next few years, Bonner said.

It’ll also be easier for professionals to take classes.

When the center opens, the college will offer new weekend classes from Friday through Sunday.

“So you could be working as a machinist in a company around here and take this weekend program,” Dunn said. “And learn more competencies that will help you on your job or to get a better job.”

IN OUR VIEW | Glines Canyon Dam

Hope, renewal on the Elwha The nearly free flowing Elwha River on the Olympic Peninsula illustrates that “environmental restoration” isn’t an oxymoron.

At 4:12 p.m. Tuesday, a blast pulverized the last 30 feet of the Glines Canyon Dam, along with the dam’s apron (its support structure.) The Elwha Dam, only a few miles south of the river’s mouth, was taken down two years ago.

It was a long time coming.

“This final blast is a milestone — the Glines Canyon Dam no longer exists,” said Olympic National Park Superintendent Sarah Creachbaum.

Preparations were extensive, with workers maneuvering excavators and a drilling rig to bore the

holes for the dynamite and charges. The contractor will need another two months to remove debris and rubble from the channel.

To witness the re-genesis is to hold a mirror to the sublime power of life itself.

As the National Park Service reports, biologists began earlier this spring radio-tagging 62 adult salmonids, tracing their migration through the watershed.

Two wild steelheads, three chinook, 10 bull trout and one sockeye have navigated upstream of the now-demolished Elwha Dam. Not now, but soon, they’ll be spotted above Glines Canyon. A century from now, fishers will watch archival footage: Once

there were dams here, which yoked and drained life from the water.

One of the more poetic observations about removing the dams was made by former U.S. Sen. Bill Bradley at a 2011 Port Angeles dinner hosted by the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe.

“In less than the lifetime of a chinook, the Elwha is going to be a free river again,” Bradley said. “In less than the lifetime of an alder or willow, the Elwha is going to renew itself to be not only free again, but truly wild, truly natural, truly, finally, again, as it was at creation when its fresh cold water first met the sea.”

Bradley also spotlighted the political champions, Sen.

students returning to ‘failing’ schools, feds say.”)

Let’s say you have a school with top-notch teachers and students willing to learn, but also a few students with major learning challenges.

Then — concocting an extreme example — a week before the AYP test is to take place a new immigrant from Nicaragua arrives who doesn’t know a word English causing the whole school to fail. Who most likely gets the blame?

That one student. Did he deserve it, President Bush? It was his idea!

Next our state courts offer/ order another “genial” solution — bus him to a different school if he wants to, and who would blame him wanting to

get away from that school?

Next year the story repeats itself — the poor fellow has not learned English enough causing a second totally different but excellent school to fail!

Did the student deserve living with that shame the rest of his life, President Obama? Did the teachers and all the other students deserve their embarrassment over failure — teacher’s union?

Soon we may have a new school fiasco I fear: Common Core! But it is a federal scheme so it must be good.

Right?

Patty Murray, who helped corral funding and, most prominently, former Rep. Norm Dicks.

“Norm fought for the Elwha settlement under President Bush, President Clinton, the second President Bush and now under President Obama,” Bradley said.

“He guided the settlement through years of post-enactment negotiations. He brought substance and energy when others paid lip service. He found solutions to every problem. He worked with every party and devoted himself to preserving the broad consensus that made the settlement possible.”

Here flows Norm Dicks’ legacy.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■CROSS VALLEY

Water shut off cannot be right I am shocked that the Cross Valley Water District would turn off water to a small family farm, disputing a meter installation agreement from decades ago. (Aug. 18 article, “Snohomish farmer, water district spar over $11,000 charge.”)

I cannot imagine this will hold up in court, and will probably cost the district far more than the money they would like to recover by profiting from installing another meter. Water is a basic human right in our country, and any family which has paid their bill on time for 60-plus years does not deserve this kind of extortion and harassment. We need to protect and value our local family farms!

COMMENTARY | Labor Issues

Workers require humane scheduling

By Christina Warden McClatchy-Tribune News Service

T

his Labor Day, Starbucks employees don’t just want a pat on the back for being hard workers. They want their company to serve up stable schedules along with all those fancy coffee drinks.

Recently, Starbucks vowed to make life better for its 130,000 workers by improving its scheduling guidelines. This was in response to a heartbreaking profile in the New York Times of Jannette Navarro, a barista whose erratic schedule has wreaked havoc on her and her son’s lives.

But Starbucks’ commitments, such as giving one week’s notice of employee schedules and discouraging managers from scheduling workers for back-to-back opening and closing shifts, fall short.

One week’s notice is a low standard; even Walmart says it gives three weeks notice of schedules.

Sadly, the unfair scheduling practices that cause chaos in the lives of Starbucks employees are far from unique. Erratic scheduling has increasingly become the norm in hourly wage service industries, especially with the introduction of predictive scheduling software.

Of the 20 million workers in low-paying

jobs, 59 percent of full-timers have to deal with volatile schedules, according to a report by the Center for Law and Social Policy, the Retail Action Project and Women Employed.

It’s even worse for part-timers. Many learn their schedules only two or three days in advance.

And they might be scheduled as “12 BD,” which means they’re expected to show up at noon and leave when “business declines,” which could be any time at all.

The personal consequences of chaotic scheduling are severe.

A waitress or home-care worker might give up on college because she can’t plan for classes or budget for tuition.

A mother might pay for child care, spend an hour or more commuting and show up at work, only to be sent home without pay because it’s a slow day.

Companies that rely on these practices claim that they do it to optimize profits, but that’s dubious, since such scheduling can lead to unfriendly service, poor performance, burnout and turnover.

By contrast, higher worker satisfaction reduces costly turnover and is correlated with higher customer satisfaction.

It’s no wonder that Starbucks customers, employees and shareholders are

calling on the company to do more.

So are some members of Congress.

Recently, Reps. George Miller, D-Calif., and Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., and Sens. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, and Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., introduced the Schedules That Work Act. It would require that workers get their schedules at least two weeks in advance, and it would protect all employees from retaliation for requesting a more flexible, predictable or stable schedule. It would also pay workers for the four hours of work they were scheduled for if they showed up on time but were then sent home early because business was slow.

This bill could make a big difference, but it may not pass.

So it’s up to companies like Starbucks to take the lead, do right by its workers and set an example for other companies.

What do you want to get at Starbucks?

Scheduling practices that are humane, as well as good for business.

That would be a nice way to celebrate Labor Day. Christina Warden is senior program manager of Women Employed, which mobilizes people and organizations to expand educational and employment opportunities for America’s working women.

What is Obama’s back-to-work plan?

W

ASHINGTON — It’s “back to school” week for President Obama, after what a CNN analyst called “the vacation from Hell.” So perhaps it’s a good time to examine what’s been going wrong for Obama recently and whether he can fix it.

The common complaint of late is that Obama is “disengaged.” This has always been somewhat of an issue, given his reticent public style, but the criticism intensified during his Martha’s Vineyard holiday. It’s an odd critique: Obama works at least as diligently as George W. Bush did during his frequent trips to Texas. Even during this golf-besotted vacation, Obama seemed to spend a good part of most days dealing with crises, foreign and domestic.

Obama could have saved himself some political trouble by scuttling the vacation altogether, but I’m not sure that would have benefited the country, to say nothing of his family.

It’s often suggested that Obama should invite more politicians, such as House Speaker John Boehner, to join his famous golf outings. But would that really help?

Even if the two became BFFs on the links, it’s doubtful that Boehner could forge bipartisanship among a House Republican caucus DAVID IGNATIUS terrified by the tea party.

Certainly Obama could communicate better. But as he has learned, giving speeches and more frequent news conferences doesn’t necessarily move the needle of public support. Six years into his presidency, Obama turns a lot of people off. Even a fine speech (such as his remarks after the beheading of journalist James Foley) can set the stage for a paroxysm about his insensitivity in playing golf afterward. Obama probably thought he was doing the right thing in showing that the president couldn’t be brutalized into changing his routine. It was an understandable decision, but a wrong one.

Obama has also drawn flak for what were seen as dispassionate remarks after the slaying of Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager, in Ferguson, Mo. Here again, I suspect Obama was doing what he thought was presidential — trying to speak for all the country. But Ferguson showed how precarious that middle ground can be.

The truth about the disengaged Obama is that he has probably stopped caring what most critics say about his performance. A few months ago, during his Asia trip, he mused aloud during a news conference about complaints that his foreign policy was weak, asking critics such as Sen. John McCain and hawkish editorial writers: What do you want me to do?

Repeat the mistakes of the past?

Obama today seems to ignore what his detractors think. Part of his detached style comes from the fact that he’s stubborn.

He doesn’t like to be jammed, as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu learned when he tried to push Obama on Iran policy during a vulnerable period in September 2012, shortly before the presidential election. Obama listens to criticism and then, at a certain point, the switch flips off. He stops shadowboxing with critics.

Obama appears to have reached this tipping point of disinterest in his dealings with Congress. He’s sick of their whining and feuding. As The New York Times reported, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid pleaded in June for help in clearing ambassadorial nominations. Obama reportedly dumped the problem back in the lap of Reid and his Republican counterpart, Sen. Mitch McConnell, saying: “You and Mitch work it out.”

I suspect Obama is so sick of congressional inaction — and of the bad blood between Reid and McConnell that helped cripple his legislative agenda — that he wants to wash his hands of the mess.

Unfortunately, that isn’t really an option for Obama’s remaining two years in office: Disdain isn’t a governing strategy.

Aloofness works for European leaders.

Think of Charles de Gaulle or Francois Mitterrand in France, or Angela Merkel in Germany. But America, with its democratic ethos, likes warmer politicians. Even genuine aristocrats such as Franklin D. Roosevelt had to pretend to be common men.

What’s Obama’s plan as he returns to school for fall? Recently, he has seemed to adopt the strategy of a student who’s tired of being bullied: Work hard; make decisions; ignore criticism to the extent possible; hope for new friends and a change of luck.

This careful, passive strategy might be acceptable in a world that was benign and forgiving of mistakes. But to recover in the remaining years of his crisis-plagued presidency, Obama will need to take a riskier, more aggressive approach.

“Background Checks Make A Difference.” The effort is set to end Sept. 5.

The ads stress the value of background checks for enhancing public safety but never mention the ballot measure that its political self is promoting. What’s nice about this campaign finance nuance is it also allows the Center for Gun Responsibility to keep secret the source of its money.

Last year, voters seemed primed to pass a foodlabeling initiative until opponents shelled out $22 million to defeat it.

The NRA can’t fork out that kind of money, nor must it. Neither can it hope to succeed on its reputation alone.

NRA leaders must decide whether it is worth trying to convince voters in one state in the far corner of the country to defeat an initiative, or focus on keeping members of Congress from changing the background check law for the nation.

The next few days will be very telling.

When told about the device Tuesday, Ronald Culpepper, the presiding judge of the Pierce County Superior Court, said if police “use it wisely and within limits, that’s one thing. I would certainly personally have some concerns about just sweeping up information from noninvolved and innocent parties — and to do it with a whole neighborhood?” he said. “That’s concerning.”

The Tacoma Police Department appears to have updated its equipment last year with money authorized by the City

Council. Several council members now say they didn’t know what they were buying.

City manager T.C. Broadnax said he does not know the specifics of what the police department bought.

But he believes the department “adequately briefed the City Council on the particulars of what we were buying and how and when they would use it under certain circumstances.”

“I’m not in law enforcemy ment, but it’s impression that it assists them in doing their job more effectively, and that’s to protect the public,” Broadnax said.

The Stingray is a popular cellphone surveillance device manufactured by Harris Corp. of Melbourne, Florida. Cellphones seek the strongest cell tower signal, and a Stingray pretends to be a cell tower with a strong signal.

Safety, founded by Michael Bloomberg, the super-rich ex-mayor of New York. He’s pledged to spend boatloads of money in every corner of the country to help enact tougher gun control laws and elect progun control lawmakers.

I-594 fits his investment profile perfectly.

While billionaires soak up attention for their prodigious checks, where is the National Rifle Association in all of this?

Is it possible the NRA, the established pulpit of the gun-rights movement, will keep its money to itself in this fight?

The NRA does have a political action committee to oppose I-594. But its coffers are pretty much empty. A significant infusion would be needed if

the venerable organization intends to deliver a serious counterpunch.

The NRA did contribute $25,000 to its PAC in July then spent most of it on staff, probably to have them survey the landscape.

They couldn’t have liked what they discovered.

An Elway Poll in July found 70 percent of voters — many of them in the vote-rich Pugetopolis — “inclined” to back Initiative 594. Three months earlier, an Elway Poll found the level of support at 72 percent.

Washington gets more insurance choices

By Martha Bellisle Associated Press

SEATTLE — People who buy their own health insurance through the state’s health exchange, Washington Healthplanfinder, will have more choices next year and will only see a small change in rates.

The Office of the Insurance Commissioner approved on Wednesday 10 health insurers to sell 90 plans for 2015, said spokeswoman Stephanie Marquis. That’s two more insurers than were OK’d for

2014, she said. The number of plans that will be available in 2015 jumped from the 46 to 90, she said.

Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler said the increased interest from health insurers is “a clear sign that health reform is working.”

“Consumers will have two more insurers to choose from next year, nearly double the number of health plans, and a record low rate change,” Kreidler said in a statement.

The average rate change

will be 1.9 percent, she said. That’s significantly lower than the insurers’ original request of 8.6 percent, Marquis said.

This new rate is for individuals and families who do not have employersponsored health coverage. The exchange board is schedule to certify these plans Thursday.

Gov. Jay Inslee said the Affordable Care Act has made health care less expensive for Washington residents.

“States like Washington that are implementing the

Act as written are seeing the lowest rates in decades — projected at 1.9 percent for 2015,” Inslee said in a statement. “I only wish other states that neglected needed changes in our health care system would fully adopt the Affordable Care Act so their residents could get the same benefits as Washingtonians — high quality affordable care.”

The rate changes vary with providers, according to a chart released by the commissioner’s office.

For example, inside the exchange is Bridgespan

Health Company, which is offering 30 plans and was approved for a rate decrease of 2.9 percent.

Coordinated Care Corporation will have nine plans and will have a 2.5 percent rate increase, according to the chart. Details on all the plans can be found on the agency’s website, www. insurance.wa.gov .

Kreidler also announced that Kaiser Health Plan of the Northwest and Moda Health Plan Inc. were approved to sell 23 health plans inside the Healthplanfinder Business,

Making cold cash on hot day

formerly called SHOP. Kaiser enrollees will receive an average rate decrease of 3.7 percent, he said. Moda is new to the market and will be available statewide. Kaiser is only available in Clark and Cowlitz counties.

“I’m very proud of how we’ve implemented health reform in Washington state,” Kreidler said. “It hasn’t always been easy, but these numbers show that the Affordable Care Act clearly delivered on its promise to bring people better access to affordable, quality health insurance.”

Alaska appeals court hears fishermen’s case Associated Press BETHEL, Alaska — The Alaska Court of Appeals is considering a case involving western Alaska subsistence fishermen who are appealing their convictions of illegal king salmon fishing on the Kuskokwim River during a weak run in 2012.

Attorneys for both sides argued before the appellate court in Anchorage on Tuesday, KYUK reported.

The 13 Yup’k Eskimo fishermen, who were convicted last year, contend the state failed to weigh their spiritual right to fish for king salmon before imposing tight restrictions.

About two dozen fishermen argued they have a spiritual right to fish for King salmon when restrictions are in place.

The fishermen’s Anchorage attorney, James J. Davis, said the state had a duty to accommodate the fishermen’s religious beliefs.

That defense is based on a free-exercise clause of the Alaska Constitution.

“We submit that the state had a duty but failed to comply with the duty,” Davis said.

Assistant Attorney General Laura Fox,

representing the state, said that issuing citations for fishing during an emergency closure was necessary to protect king salmon.

“There was never any harvestable surplus of kings in 2012 and at the end of the day the state missed the escapement objective by 50,000 fish,” Fox said.

A three-judge panel is considering arguments in

the case and will issue a decision, likely later this year or early next year.

Friend of the court briefs have been filed by groups including the Association of Village Council Presidents and the Alaska Federation of Natives.

During their Bethel trials last year, about two dozen fishermen argued they have a spiritual right to fish for King salmon when restrictions are in place.

Judge Bruce Ward sided with the state. He said he looked at the case closely, reviewing a 1979 state Supreme Court case that shows the free-exercise clause may work when religion is involved, conduct is

religiously based and the person is sincere.

Ward said the fishermen met the first two requirements and addressed the sincerity question in individual trials.

But the judge said the state’s need to restrict kings supersedes the fishermen’s religious rights.

The fishermen who are appealing the ruling say that during low king salmon numbers, for example the state could allow a subsistence priority to Yup’ik fishermen or press action against commercial pollock trawlers that catch thousands of kings each year as bycatch off Alaska’s coast.

Stolen coins returned after half century

By Anthony Rimel Corvallis Gazette-Times

PHILOMATH, Ore. — The Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office returned a collection of 35 coins — missing for perhaps 50 years — to the Horner Collection at the Benton County Historical Society & Museum this week.

The coins are a series of commemorative presidential tokens, stamped with the image of every president up to Dwight D. Eisenhower, who was in office from Jan. 20, 1953, to Jan. 20, 1961.

Hidden in obscurity for decades, the coins now

are back on display at the museum.

The exact date the coins were stolen is unknown, but it could have been in the early 1960s.

Irene Zenev, the executive director of the museum, said Tuesday that the coins were part of the Horner Museum at Oregon State University, which was closed due to budget cuts in 1995. The Benton County Historical Society acquired the Horner Collection from OSU in 2005.

Zenev said that the collection’s inventory listed the coins as missing, but the description of the coins lacked many details.

“We don’t have a lot of data. They were obviously taken before we acquired the collection.”

Zenev said she’s seen coins like these selling for about $5 apiece online.

“Ironically, the fact that they don’t have any value is why they survived,” she said.

According to Zenev, the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office recovered the coins as a part of a warranted search of a residence in Portland, but she doesn’t know much more than that. The detectives investigating noticed that the decorative cardboard mount for the coins had a

COEUR D’ALENE, Idaho — A northern Idaho county commissioner has filed a legal challenge to the county’s plan to lease a new jail facility.

The Coeur d’Alene Press reports that Kootenai County Commissioner Jai Nelson announced the challenge in a statement on Tuesday.

Nelson said voters rejected jail bonds in 2005, 2008 and 2009 and the plan to lease a jail ignores those results.

“I’m filing in opposition to this private-public business arrangement to represent the citizens of whose voices are being circumvented by this process,” she said.

The only way for the lease to go forward, she said, would be to put it on the ballot where it would need to get twothirds of the votes.

A hearing is planned Friday where 2nd District Court Judge John Stegner will determine whether the lease is constitutional.

The 327-bed Kootenai County jail has faced overcrowding for years, and officials have previously said the county pays about $800,000 annually to house offenders at other jails.

The county is looking into a deal with Rocky Mountain Corrections.

Under the plan, the private company would build a 625-bed jail and the county would lease it. Commissioner Dan Green said lease costs are still being negotiated with Rocky Mountain Corrections.

“We think it’s unconstitutional,” said Nelson’s attorney, John Magnuson, who in court documents estimated the cost of the lease at between $7.9 million and $9.9 million a year.

“We are trading in a nominal housing problem, at the average yearly cost of $648,000, for a gold-plated solution with a 1,200 percent escalation factor which equates to a $8.9 million annual remedy,” he said.

The facility would likely be built in Coeur d’Alene, Hayden or Post Falls.

Wolf pack one kill from limit

By Jeff Barnard Associated Press

GRANTS PASS, Ore. — One of Oregon’s wolf packs is one livestock attack away from becoming the first to be considered for a kill order under the state’s unique rules.

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife said Wednesday that the Umatilla Pack, which roams mostly private land about 30 miles west of Pendleton, has been confirmed responsible for killing a sheep last week in a private pasture. Two other attacks occurred in June.

The state cannot kill a wolf unless three conditions are met: There’s hard evidence the pack is responsible for four livestock attacks over the past six months, the rancher has taken non-lethal steps to protect his livestock, and the department feels wolf attacks are likely to continue even with more non-lethal protections.

“Under these rules,

OR-14, a member of the Umatilla Pack, is seen in June 2012 after it was given a GPS collar in northeastern Oregon.

the key consideration for lethal control or any other actions will be to take an action that minimizes the risk of further depredation,” department spokeswoman Michelle Dennehy said in an email.

The rules were adopted last year as the result of a lawsuit by conservation groups.

Joseph cattle rancher Todd Nash said he was looking forward to the day when Oregon’s wolves are

numerous enough to be taken off the state endangered species list, and the Oregon Wolf Plan would go into Phase Two, when lethal-control rules would ease.

That could happen after this winter’s statewide wolf count. The Oregon Wolf Plan sets a goal of four packs successfully producing pups for three consecutive years before delisting can be considered.

That has been met the past two years.

Dennehy said delisting is not automatic, and would have to go through a public process.

Even under Phase Two, there would be rules for considering lethal control, though they would be less stringent than they are now.

Rob Klavins of the conservation group Oregon Wild said they would prefer a science-based conservation goal for delisting, rather than one set by political negotiation.

Overall, the number of confirmed wolves statewide has grown from 48 in 2012 to 64 last year. The number of packs grew from six to eight, though only four successfully raised pups last year.

So far this year, there have been six confirmed wolf attacks on livestock in Oregon, according to the department website.

There were 13 attacks in 2013, eight in 2012, and 10 in 2011.

Oregon closing in on ‘kicker’ rebates

By Jonathan J. Cooper Associated Press

PORTLAND, Ore. — A swelling state treasury is on the verge of triggering “kicker” rebates for Oregon taxpayers, according to state economists’ quarterly revenue forecast unveiled Wednesday.

For the third time this year, economists revised their revenue forecast upward, leaving it just $27 million shy of the kicker threshold. That means even a small improvement over expected employment and wages could send at least $290 million in rebates to individual taxpayers.

Under a tax law unique to Oregon, if personal income tax collections exceed expectations during a two-year budget cycle by at least 2 percent, the extra money is kicked back to taxpayers.

Steady economic improvements have led

the state to collect slightly more than projected in both corporate and personal income taxes.

Much of the increased revenue came from last year’s special legislative session, when lawmakers voted to raise taxes on corporations and wealthy individuals.

Because the action came after lawmakers adjourned the regular session, the additional revenue they created counts toward the 2 percent kicker threshold.

The forecast projects that corporate income tax collections will exceed the threshold, but voters decided in 2012 that excess corporate revenue should be earmarked for primary and secondary schools.

Oregon’s kicker law was created as a check on government spending, ensuring the Legislature can’t spend money they didn’t expect to receive.

HOROSCOPE Happy Birthday: Having a realistic plan will be half the battle this year. Listen to what others say, but choose the path based on logic, facts and the research you do along the way. Protect against people bearing hidden agendas and looking for a way to throw you off your game. Your numbers are 5, 11, 19, 22, 34, 41, 47.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t make waves when you should be aiming to keep things calm. Avoid unnecessary changes, but don’t ignore a good opportunity. Expand your knowledge, friendships and love of life. ��� TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Know what’s required of you if you want to get ahead or change your direction. Don’t sit idle when it’s up to you to make a choice and make your move. ��� GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You’ll be a driving force, but if you try to mix business with pleasure, personal information will be revealed that won’t be in your best interest.

Say little, observe a lot and you will make unexpected gains. ����� CANCER (June 21-July 22): Keep your mind focused on what you need to do, refusing to let others influence an important decision regarding your professional and personal direction. �� LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Check out every angle of a situation. Not everyone will agree with what you want to do, but at least you will know where you stand and what to expect if you move forward with your plans. ���� VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Questioning your direction can be a good thing and can

also lead to picking up information and skills that will help you reach your goals and raise your standard of living. ��� LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Try to appreciate your own position and focus on your destination. Explore and experiment, but don’t give up what you have when all you need to do is expand your interests, allies and skills. ��� SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your vision regarding what’s happening in your life may be foggy. Don’t count on anything that isn’t signed, sealed and delivered. Focus on building strong alliances with those who require what you have to offer. ��� SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Concentrate on making personal improvements that will help you present your skills with more finesse and confidence. Changes to your living arrangements will add to your happiness and bring you security. ���� CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may face opposition, but when it comes to making financial, legal or medical decisions, do what you feel is best for you. You can make gains if your choices and decisions are based on your individual needs. �� AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t let anyone who has a different opinion drag you down. Put more energy and attention into positive partnerships and professional changes that will bring you the results you are looking for. ����� PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A change regarding an important relationship will catch you by surprise. Resurrect some of your old ideas and bring someone back from your past who can help you make your dreams come true. ��� Universal Uclick

M’s suffer worst loss of season Ramirez allows 10 runs as Rangers rout Seattle 12-4

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

SEATTLE — This rest-the-rotation gambit that Seattle Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon chose this week might yet pay dividends down the road.

That might take the sting out of a Wednesday disaster in which Erasmo Ramirez returned from Triple-A Tacoma and authored

an epic implosion over three-plus innings in a 12-4 loss to Texas.

“When it’s like that,” Ramirez said, “nobody’s going to be happy, and I’m not happy. I was feeling good. I was just missing my spots.”

This result was, yes, the Mariners’ worst loss of the season.

Some specifics: The Mariners had not allowed four runs in an inning since July

24 before the Rangers roughed up Ramirez for four in the second inning. Ramirez then gave up four more in the third.

“They just attacked any pitch in the strike zone,” catcher Mike Zunino said. “They put good swings on balls today.”

Washington guard Dexter Charles is described by UW offensive line coach Chris Strausser as a player who is “not just out there trying to block guys, he wants to dominate them.”

One tough, ferocious Dawg Washington junior guard Dexter Charles, who played at Stanwood High School, is coming back after three surgeries to fix two bad shoulders.

By Rich Myhre Herald Writer

S

EATTLE — There are two important rules for anyone who wants to play football.

No. 1, pain is a given. And No. 2, excuses are taboo.

Understand this and you understand why University of Washington offensive guard Dexter Charles kept mum last season while playing with two

bad shoulders.

“I was raised by a Marine Corps man and I grew up tough,” said Charles with a smile and a shrug. “He taught me the way and that’s how I learned.”

Even now, the UW junior is reluctant to say much about the shoulder injuries that caused him to miss part of a midseason game

against Oregon, the next two games against Arizona State and California, and then the season-ending Fight Hunger Bowl against Brigham Young.

It is, however, hard to hide the evidence. Charles, a 2011 graduate of Stanwood High School, has a surgical scar on his right shoulder 6-7 inches in length. He has a similar scar of 3-4 inches on his left shoulder. He had surgery on his right shoulder in January,

surgery on his left shoulder in February, and then a follow-up surgery on his right shoulder in March. The three operations kept him out of spring practice, and also kept him out of the weight room until almost summer.

Prodded to elaborate, Charles said only, “There were some bone things that were going on and I got them all fixed up.”

His shoulders started bothering him “pretty much in fall

Reign’s Harvey named NWSL coach of the year

By Don Ruiz The News Tribune

TUKWILA — Laura Harvey of the Seattle Reign — the only female coach in the National Women’s Soccer League — was honored Wednesday as coach of the year.

“It’s a good recognition to have,” Harvey said. “But any head coach will tell you, you can’t do it on your own: it’s the players through to the back-room staff, the front office and ownership that make the club what it is today. I think we’ve made huge strides forward. Sometimes as a head coach you get the wrath of that, and sometimes you get the credit, so it’s nice to get the credit for the club.”

Harvey, 34, is in her second season with the Reign. In 2013, Seattle finished seventh in the eight-team league. However, this year they finished on top at 16-2-6 and will play FC Kansas City for the NWSL championship at noon Sunday at Starfire Sports Stadium.

T

he first gun smoke of Autumn will drift across eastern Washington sagebrush flats and westside alder thickets on Sept. 1, as statewide dove and grouse openers lead off 2014 hunting seasons.

Prospects are mixed, as usual, but the situation this year has been complicated by the record acreage charred by summer wildfires.

Don Kraege, migratory bird manager for the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, said the agency has been banding doves for five years, and that the populations at most of their banding stations have held relatively stable over that period. Dove numbers are generally so positive, in fact, that Kraege said WDFW will probably lengthen the season from the current 30 days to 60, and the daily limit from 10 to 15 birds, prior to next year’s hunts.

The changes, he said, would bring Washington up to par with the other states in the Pacific flyway.

The weather this spring was conducive to multiple hatches, and fires probably didn’t have a major impact on the dove population. Kraege said exceptions would be burned grain fields and/or roost trees at the edges of agricultural areas. Generally, he expects the Columbia Basin to provide a dove hunt similar to the past few years.

Jon Gaillie, area biologist for Chelan and Douglas counties, said dove populations in his venue could be down slightly from last year, because numbers at his banding station showed a small decline. But there were still plenty of birds and in their usual places, he said.

Biologist Scott Fitkin, in Okanogan County, said the big Carlton Complex fire impacted doves in some of his game management units short term, such as the popular Unit 239,

PICK OF THE WEEK | Skagit River coho

Outdoor calendar

The Skagit River opens for coho on Monday, and while there probably won’t be hordes of silvers in the river, there are fish there. Kevin John at Holiday Sports in Burlington said a shop employee went out Sunday, “just playing around,” and released a couple of decent coho hooked on plugs, even though visibility was down to about two feet.

John said most of the early-season action will be between Mount Vernon and Sedro-Woolley.

“If the river’s still dirty,” he said,

Chilliwist, and that there will almost certainly be access problems, with flash flood damage to roads, downed trees, and other hazards.

The grouse picture is a little less rosy. State upland bird manager Brian Calkins said the grouse harvest around the state — except perhaps for the Olympic Peninsula — has been declining for several years, most likely due to habitat change and loss of hunter access. This year the crucial spring brood period experienced little cold or rain, so the general outlook is not bad. Not great, but not bad. Traditionally, Calkins said, Chelan and Okanogan counties have been the top grouse producers on the east slope of the Cascades.

Wildfire damage? “We don’t know yet the long-term picture, but short-term I would estimate 30 percent of the eastslope grouse habitat was probably affected to one degree or another.”

Gallie said the Mills Canyon, Chiwaukum Creek and Duncan fires in his area (Chelan and Douglas counties) “were hard on grouse,” and that hunters should look for higher-elevation wet draws and more heavily forested areas. Bird populations there are generally okay, he said.

Fitkin (Okanogan County) said he doesn’t feel grouse in his area were impacted much by the fires, because the broods were old enough to fly. But he said, along with Gallie, that upper elevation areas would probably be the best places to hunt.

Research may be critical for a good hunt, this year more than most. Call the WDFW Region 2 office in Ephrata at 509-754-4624.

“guys will be throwing Vibrax spinners, 4s or 5s, or pulling Brad’s Wigglers in 29 and 94 series colors (chartreuse and/or cerise).”

John said that in dirty water, you want gear that’s “big, bright and that makes a lot of noise.”

The Samish, by the way, is open for chinook, but it’s been too low to bring fish in from the saltwater, John said. After the first good rain it should pick up quickly.

— Wayne Kruse

Hanford kings The Hanford Reach fall chinook fishery isn’t really underway yet, but Don Talbot at Hooked on Toys in Wenatchee said keep your eye on the counts over Bonneville, and when they reach 10,000 daily, it’s time to start thinking kings at Vernita (the Vernita Bridge, a popular boat launch between Hanford and Priest Rapids Dam). Right now, the counts are running 3,000 or 4,000 per day.

Early spots, Talbot said, include the water off the mouth of the Yakima River, off the Ringold Hatchery upstream from the Tri-Cities, and a mile below Priest Rapids Dam where kings stack off the hatchery creek.

“At the Yakima, they troll downstream with a Fish Flash/herring rig,” Talbot said, “and at Ringold they’re trolling with Super Baits. In three weeks or so they’ll switch to eggs or Kwikfish.”

Talbot said his favorite early area is the holding water below the dam, off the hatchery stream, where bright kings can already be caught — an advantage with a run of chinook which traditionally darken quickly as they hit the Reach.

One more item: Talbot said folks in his area are excited about a new book scheduled to be out soon, written by an experienced Columbia River salmon guide and detailing exactly how, where and when to fish the Hanford Reach. Check with the tackle shop at 509-663-0740.

Okanogan trout Fall is a good time of year for those folks who like to fish moving water to hit the smaller streams feeding the Methow River system, often in combination with a hunting/camping trip. Streams such as Eightmile, Falls and Boulder creeks, tributary to the Chewuch, hold large populations of small eastern brook trout which WDFW would prefer to have caught and kept. The Chewuch, Twisp and Methow rivers are usually good for cutthroat and rainbow.

But not this year. Fire damage and runoff from heavy rains have muddied all these streams to pretty much an unfishable condition. State biologist Ryan Fortier said “Falls

Creek really got toasted; Boulder and Eightmile are out of shape, and the Methow is as dirty as I’ve ever seen it.”

Local coho All Star Charters owner/skipper Gary Krein said it’s perhaps a week early for any significant coho action in local waters. He did hit a few fish off Edmonds over the weekend — one decent ocean fish and the rest 3to 5-pound residents — fishing over 300 feet of water, down 50 to 80 feet, with a green squid/flasher setup.

Nothing much happening yet at the shipwreck or other usually productive spots, he said.

Buoy 10 and southwest coast Salmon action is still improving at buoy 10 on the lower end of the Columbia, according to WDFW biologist Joe Hymer in Vancouver.

Checks over the weekend, he said, showed almost one chinook and one coho per boat on Friday; two-thirds of a chinook and one coho per boat on Saturday; and three-quarters of a chinook and over 1 coho per boat on Sunday. The fishery has been drawing 300 to 350 boats per day, Hymer said.

Wendy Beeghley, coastal sampling coordinator for WDFW, said last week was probably the peak of the ocean fishery off the southwest coast, and that there were over 500 boats fishing out of Ilwaco on Saturday.

“The fishery put out mostly limits for everyone on Saturday and Sunday,” Beeghley said, “about 80 percent coho.”

Charters also took mostly coho out of Westport over the weekend, while private boats caught a 50-50 mix of kings and silvers, with the coho going up to the low teens.

USC’s Shaw admits to fabricating story Head coach Sarkisian ‘extremely disappointed’ as team suspends cornerback indefinitely for lying.

By Gary Klein Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — USC cornerback Josh Shaw admitted to school officials that he had fabricated a story about rescuing a nephew from drowning and lied about how he suffered ankle injuries, the school announced Wednesday.

Shaw, who has been the focus of controversy the last two days, was suspended from the team indefinitely.

“We are extremely disappointed in Josh,” USC coach Steve Sarkisian said in a statement. “He let us all down. As I have said, nothing in his background led us to doubt him when he told us of his injuries, nor did anything after our initial vetting of his story.”

Shaw issued a statement through attorney Donald Etra, who the school said had been retained by the player as legal counsel.

“On Saturday, August 23, 2014,

EUGENE TANNER / ASSOCIATED PRESS

USC cornerback Josh Shaw (26), shown here returning an interception for a touchdown against Hawaii in a game last season, confessed that he lied to school officials about how he sprained his ankles last weekend, retracting his story about jumping off a balcony to save his drowning nephew. The school suspended him on Wednesday.

I injured myself in a fall. I made up a story about this fall that was untrue. I was wrong to not tell the truth. I apologize to USC for this action on my part.

“My USC coaches, the USC Athletic Department, and especially Coach Sarkisian have all been supportive of me during my college career and for that, I

am very grateful.”

The school said Shaw had apologized for misleading his coaches, teammates, athletic department officials and the public.

“I appreciate that Josh has now admitted that he lied and has apologized,” Sarkisian said.

“Although this type of behavior

is out of character for Josh, it is unacceptable. Honesty and integrity must be at the center of our program. I believe Josh will learn from this. I hope that he will not be defined by this incident, and that the Trojan Family will accept his apology and support him.”

USC plays its opener against Fresno State on Saturday at the Coliseum.

Shaw trended nationally Monday after USC posted a story of its website of the alleged rescue of his nephew Saturday night, which included leaping from a second-story balcony at an apartment in Palmdale, north of Los Angeles.

Media outlets, included the Los Angeles Times, immediately responded with reports of Shaw’s courageous act and the story went viral of social media.

The story turned Tuesday when Sarkisian announced the school was investigating Shaw’s account after it received phone calls contradicting the story.

The Los Angeles Police Department later disclosed that Shaw’s name had popped up in a police report from an incident that occurred at a downtown Los Angeles apartment complex Saturday night.

Clippers sign head coach Rivers to 5-year extension Associated Press LOS ANGELES — Doc Rivers is staying with the Los Angeles Clippers for another five years.

In Steve Ballmer’s first big move since taking over as the new owner, he gave Rivers a contract extension through the 2018-19 season.

Ballmer said Wednesday it was one of his top priorities to ensure that Rivers remains as the long-term leader of the team. Rivers

was a stabilizing force for the franchise during the upheaval created by former owner Donald Sterling’s racist remarks that led to his ouster after 33 years of ownership.

“Not only is Doc one of the best coaches and executives in the game, but he continually embodies the hardcore, committed and resilient character and winning culture that the Clippers represent,” Ballmer said.

Rivers joined the team in June 2013 and added president of basketball operations to

his responsibilities two months ago.

The 52-year-old coach guided the Clippers to the best record in franchise history at 57-25 and a second straight Pacific Division title last season. They lost to Oklahoma City in the second round of the playoffs.

Rivers has a career regular-season record of 644-498 and a 70-64 playoff mark, with previous head coaching stints in Boston, where he won the 2008 NBA title, and Orlando.

Paxton optioned to Tacoma to make room for Ramirez

Herald Staff

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

SEATTLE — The Seattle Mariners cleared roster space for right-hander Erasmo Ramirez by optioning lefty James Paxton to Triple-A Tacoma.

Ramirez started Wednesday’s game after being recalled from Tacoma.

The move regarding Paxton is little more than a clerical entry (although it will cost him a few days of service time).

Paxton isn’t scheduled to pitch until Tuesday in Oakland. Since Tacoma’s season ends Monday, he can be recalled in time to take his regular turn.

Major League rules permit rosters to expand from 25 players to 40 players on Sept. 1.

Similarly, the move does not affect Paxton’s postseason eligibility. Any player on the 40-man roster as of Aug. 31 is eligible for postseason.

Paxton improved to 4-1 and lowered his ERA to 1.83 by pitching 62⁄3 innings Tuesday in a 5-0 victory over Texas.

September promotions It’s likely the Mariners will promote “six to nine guys” from the minors, manager Lloyd McClendon said, once rules permit the rosters to expand.

Near-certainties in addition to Paxton include recalling outfielder James Jones, activating outfielder/first baseman Corey Hart from the disabled list, and clearing space to add veteran catcher Humberto Quintero.

Other possibilities include pitchers Taijuan Walker, Lucas Luetge and Carson Smith; first baseman Justin Smoak and outfielder Stefen Romero.

Outfielder Michael Saunders is still battling a viral infection that aborted his minor-league rehab assignment for a strained left oblique.

“I know he’s lost 7 or 8 pounds,” McClendon said. “We just need to get him back out there. I would imagine so.”

Wedding bells McClendon headed for home in Chesterton, Ind., after Wednesday’s game in order to attend the wedding Saturday of his only daughter, Schenell.

Bench coach Trent Jewett will serve as interim manager for the games Friday and Saturday against Washington at Safeco Field. Jewett spent the three previous years on the Nationals’ staff.

McClendon hopes to return for Sunday afternoon’s series finale against Washington.

Short hops Kyle Seager reached the 20-homer mark for the third straight season with a one-out blast in the ninth. He joins Ken Griffey Jr. and Jim Presley as the only Mariners to hit 20 or more homers in three of his first four seasons. ...

McClendon said it’s “very possible” that Ramirez could get additional starts in September in order to provide other starters with extra rest. ...

Catcher Jesus Sucre checked out fine a day after taking a hard foul tip off the chin of his mask. It occurred in the seventh inning of Tuesday’s victory. Sucre initially appeared stunned but remained in the game.

Minor details There were, entering Wednesday, just seven minor-league players with 100 or more RBI. Three were Mariners’ prospects, and all three are closing their season at Double-A Jackson.

Third baseman D.J. Peterson ranked third overall in the minors at 104 RBI, while infielder Patrick Kivlehan and first baseman/outfielder Jordy Lara were tied for tied for fourth at 102.

All three players began the season at Hi-A High Desert. Peterson and Kivlehan are ticketed for duty in the Arizona Fall League.

Looking back It was 13 years ago Thursday — Aug 28, 2001— that rookie outfielder Ichiro Suzuki collected his 200th hit in what was the Mariners’ 132nd game of the season.

That matched Anaheim outfielder Darin Erstad in 2000 as the fastest player to 200 hits since St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Joe Medwick did it in 131 games in 1935.

Suzuki and Erstad were the fastest to do it in the American League since Al Simmons of the Philadelphia A’s reached that mark in 125 games in 1925.

Suzuki finished his rookie season with 242 hits. He set the major-league record with 262 in 2004.

On tap The Mariners have an open date Thursday before starting a threegame weekend series Friday against National League East-leading Washington at Safeco Field.

Right-hander Felix Hernandez (134 with a 2.07 ERA) will oppose Nationals right-hander Jordan Zimmerman (9-5, 2.93) at 7:10 p.m. Root Sports will televise the game.

M’s reveal trade deadline strategy

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

SEATTLE — Somewhat lost Tuesday in his comments regarding a contract extension for general manager Jack Zduriencik, club president Kevin Mather revealed the Seattle Mariners’ strategy prior to the trade deadline.

“We are trying to get into the playoffs,” Mather said. “We would like to make the playoffs. This town, this community, they’ve been very supportive.

We’d love to get into the playoffs.

“That said, the wild card is different. The new collectivebargaining system, it’s tough for wild-card teams to win now.

They’ve got it stacked against you.”

The Mariners, who haven’t been in postseason since 2001, have a one-half-game lead over Detroit in the battle for the American League’s final

wild-card berth.

They were also seven games behind first-place Los Angeles in the American League West.

They were further back on July 31, the morning of the nonwaiver trade deadline: Three games back for the final wildcard spot and 11 games behind in the AL West.

A review: The postseason format calls for a one-game playoff between the two wildcard teams. The winner joins the three division winners in a best-of-five round. The loser goes home.

“We weren’t going to sell our souls (at the trade deadline) for a one-game, wild-card opportunity,” Mather said. “We’ve got talent here, and we’re going to be good for a long time. We truly believe that.

“We not only have young kids here, we have young kids coming. Let’s remember that. We’ve been pleasantly surprised, and

now we’re fighting like heck to get into (the playoffs). Heck, we’d like to win the West.”

The Mariners acquired outfielder Austin Jackson from Detroit in a three-team deal that sent minor-league infielder Nick Franklin to Tampa Bay. They also got outfielder Chris Denorfia from San Diego for minor-league outfielder Abraham Almonte.

Those deals came one week after the Mariners reacquired designated hitter/first baseman Kendrys Morales from Minnesota for minor-league reliever Stephen Pryor.

The Mariners, even after Wednesday’s loss, are 17-8 since the deadline. Only Kansas City, at 20-6, is better among American League teams.

“I thought the trades were very strategic,” Mather said.

“They weren’t crazy, but were strategic, and they seem to be paying off.”

M’s

Wednesday’s Game

From Page C1

fourth inning. Both scored.

Both runs were charged to Ramirez, whose line showed 10 runs and nine hits.

“Not very good,” McClendon said. “Up in the zone. I was encouraged after the first inning. For some reason he started getting the ball up in the zone. That’s not a good thing against any team.”

The 12 runs overall snapped a club-record streak off 144 games by the Mariners without allowing double-digit runs.

That dates to a 12-2 loss at St. Louis on Sept. 15, 2013.

The last Mariners pitcher to allow 10 runs was Jason Vargas on June 20, 2012, when he gave up 10 over 41⁄3 innings in a 12-2 loss at Arizona.

“Today just got out of hand early,” left fielder Dustin Ackley said, “and we weren’t able to chip away as quickly as they put them on the board.”

The Mariners’ biggest loss prior to this was a 7-0 spanking by the Marlins on April 19 in Miami. That was No. 5 in an eight-game skid that remains the season’s low point.

Wednesday’s deficit reached 12-1 when Joe Beimel surrendered a two-run homer to Leonys Martin in the sixth inning before the Mariners countered later in the inning on Kendrys Morales’ two-run double.

The Mariners got the game’s final run on Kyle Seager’s homer in the ninth.

McClendon opted to rest his starters after seeing signs of wear on a recent 6-3 road trip through Detroit, Philadelphia and Boston. With Thursday’s open date, that means all five will pitch next on a full week of rest.

But that meant the Mariners

BOISE, Idaho — Needing a win for a chance to make up ground in the Northwest League’s North Division race, the Everett AquaSox instead fell to the Boise Hawks 12-8 on Wednesday night.

The host Hawks led 12-2 heading to the top of the ninth, but Everett did not go quietly.

The Sox sent 10 batters to the plate and scored six runs, combining five hits and two walks.

But it was too little, too late for Everett, which saw Boise jump in front early, chasing Sox starter Luiz Gohara with a six-run second inning. Gohara gave up a hit, three walks and two wild pitches (the Sox also committed two errors) before departing, having failed to get an out in the inning.

Everett manager Dave Valle, no doubt frustrated by his team’s play in the second, was not around to see his team eventually get the third out after almost a half-hour in the field.

Valle was ejected for arguing a foul call by home plate umpire Derek Mollica after a bunted ball rolled foul and then appeared to roll back into fair territory.

The foul call kept the Sox from recording an out, riling Valle, who was ejected for the third time this season.

After Everett scored twice in the fourth, Boise tacked on four runs in the sixth and two more in the eighth.

Aside from the ninth inning rally, the Sox had few highlights.

One was a running over-theshoulder catch by Everett center fielder Austin Cousino in the seventh, taking an extra-base hit away from Boise’s Mark Malave.

Everett relief pitcher Nick Kiel, a product of Mill Creek’s Jackson High School, pitched four scoreless innings, giving up five hits and striking out two.

Cousino, James Alfonso and Phillips Castillo each had two hits for the Sox, with one of Castillo’s hits being a two-run home run.

Both benches emptied with two outs in the eighth inning after a pitch by Everett’s Leoncio Munoz sailed behind Boise’s Jesse Hodges. Hodges barked at Munoz, a few of the Sox players barked back, and eventually both benches and bullpens emptied, though order was quickly restored.

ELAINE THOMPSON / ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Rangers’ Adam Rosales (9) dives safely back to first base on a pickoff-attempt as Mariners first baseman Kendrys Morales waits for the ball in the second inning of Wednesday’s game.

needed a starter for Wednesday, and Ramirez was the obvious choice; he had not permitted more than three earned runs in any of his last 11 starts at Tacoma.

It just didn’t work, but McClendon had no second thoughts.

“Absolutely not,” he said. “It was the right thing to do. It was an unfortunate loss, but it was the right thing to do.”

The Mariners (72-60) remain a half-game ahead of Detroit (71-60) for the American League’s final wild-card berth.

The Tigers lost to the New York Yankees on Wednesday.

Veteran Texas right-hander Colby Lewis (9-11) showed some early wobbles, but those eased once the Rangers turned the game into a rout. He got his seventh career complete game.

“After he got that lead,” Texas manager Ron Washington said, “he started to really focus on throwing strikes. He made them swing the bats. He walked only one guy.”

Ramirez found trouble after a one-out walk in the second inning to Jim Adduci, who went to third on Adam Rosales’ soft single into center.

Rougned Odor popped to short, but Ramirez loaded the bases by hitting Michael Choice with a 1-2 changeup.

Tomas Telis then sent a drive

to deep right field that Logan Morrison reached and initially caught — but the ball came free when Morrison hit the wall for a three-run double.

“It just kind of sums up the day, I guess,” Morrison said. “I make that play, no runs score.

I don’t make that play, three runs score. Different game.

Obviously, from there, it got worse.”

Martin followed with an RBI single to right for a 4-0 lead.

It marked the biggest single inning against the Mariners since Baltimore scored four in the third inning on July 24 in a 4-0 victory at Safeco Field.

The Mariners got one run back on Zunino’s two-out blast later in the inning. It was his 19th homer of the season and matched Miguel Olivo’s 2011 club record for catchers.

Texas then teed up another four-run inning against Ramirez in the third.

Line singles by Mike Carp and Adrian Beltre, followed by a perfect Adduci bunt single, loaded the bases with no outs.

Rosales popped to short, but Odor rocked a grand slam over the right-center wall.

And it was 8-1.

Three runs or fewer over 265 consecutive innings covering 31 games. Then successive four-spots.

Ouch.

Huskies at a glance Chris Petersen was finally persuaded by his gut.

For years, Petersen was perfectly content. Yet something about Washington — the facilities, the setting, the conference, the history — all combined to finally give Petersen the feeling he needed to make a move.

So gone was the comfort of being at Boise State. And accepted was the task of accelerating Washington’s rise.

“I felt it had to do with growing and stretching myself a little bit, and the opportunity in Washington, being the special place that I thought,” Petersen said. “But it’s really hard to kind of tell you why.”

Whatever the underlying reason, Petersen’s challenge is to try to put Washington back in contention for a Pac-12 Conference title. Steve Sarkisian rebuilt the foundation of the Huskies program, inheriting a winless team and returning it to respectability. Washington won nine games last season for the first time since 2000, but remained stuck behind Oregon and Stanford in the Pac-12 North.

Petersen’s job is figuring out a way to leap over the Cardinal and Ducks.

“We’re behind. I’ve been saying that from the start,” the Huskies’ firstyear head coach said. “We’re the only new staff in the Pac-12, and because we came in late, we put our guys behind. So every day, every practice and every meeting, it’s just critical we’re all locked in.”

Petersen is known for his development of the quarterbacks at Boise State. That will be tested early at Washington. The Huskies are one of two Pac-12 teams without a returning starting quarterback. Cyler Miles was the presumptive starter for this season but he was suspended from the team for spring practice and is suspended for the opener because of his involvement in an off-field incident.

Jeff Lindquist starts against Hawaii.

Miles should eventually win the job, but the time he missed in the spring puts him behind in his development learning Petersen’s system.

Marcus Peters looks like he could be the next Washington cornerback to become a first-round draft pick.

He’s coming off a sophomore season during which he had five interceptions and was second-team allPac-12. But the rest of Washington’s secondary is new.

Linebacker Shaq Thompson has received the bulk of the notoriety after being an all-Pac-12 honorable mention selection last season and a preseason all-American choice by some publications. But Washington’s depth at the position goes beyond Thompson. Travis Feeney and John Timu both return, and Hau’oli Kikaha will move from defensive end to outside linebacker as the Huskies take on more of a 3-4 look.

“We should be pretty solid,” Thompson said.

Thompson could occasionally gets carries at running back. He could become this year’s version of Myles Jack, who played on both sides of the ball for UCLA last season.

Browns’ Gordon suspended for season Associated Press CLEVELAND — Browns star wide receiver Josh Gordon has been suspended the entire NFL season for another violation of the league’s substance abuse policy.

The league announced Wednesday that arbitrator Harold Henderson upheld Gordon’s suspension, which the Pro Bowler appealed. Gordon met with league officials in New York on Aug. 4 and he and the Browns had been patiently awaiting a resolution.

Gordon’s suspension is effective immediately and he will have to apply for reinstatement following the season. Gordon is not allowed to practice with the team, attend meetings or other club functions.

The talented 23-year-old led the league with 1,646 yards receiving last season despite being banned for the first two games for a failed drug test.

Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said he wants his team “to do things right.”

Carroll calls penalties disappointing Herald News Services RENTON — Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll says he’s disappointed his team has been docked two practices next offseason for excessive physical contact in a minicamp in June.

The league confirmed the penalties on Tuesday.

“We don’t want to do things wrong,” Carroll said following practice Wednesday. “We want to do things right. I’d like to show exactly how to do it.

When you’re competing like we do, we’re trying to do things the best you can possibly do it. Unfortunately, this incident makes it look otherwise.”

Seattle will be docked the first two days of its 2015 mandatory minicamp and will be permitted one 21⁄2-hour practice on the final day. Seattle’s players will be paid for all three days of the camp. The

homecoming, the former Raiders starting quarterback into last season said, “Just play better. You know, last week I didn’t even know I was going in.

You’ve always got to be ready.

Just make plays, and not try to do too much.”

Seattle’s third quarterback on a team for which head coach Pete Carroll has usually kept two shined in the exhibition opener at Denver, completing nine of 16 passes despite next-to-no pass protection and leading the Seahawks with 28 yards rushing. Then against San Diego Pryor sprinted 44 yards past every Charger for an eyeopening touchdown.

Last week against Chicago he entered on the penultimate drive of a 34-6 game and promptly threw an awful-looking interception. Then he took two kneel downs to end the game.

“I think I did well the first two games,” Pryor said. “Then the last game, like I said, I was sitting on the bench and waiting. ... That’s my fault, you know. I own up to that.

“I went out there and threw a pick, even though I didn’t know I was going in. I thought I was sitting out the whole game.

You’ve got to own up to those things.

“I’ll play better this week.

Definitely.”

He has to, to make this Seahawks team. Final roster cuts are due by 1 p.m. Saturday, when the league mandates teams get down to 53 players for the start of the regular season.

Carroll has kept just two quarterbacks on the roster to start the regular season three times in his previous four seasons leading the Seahawks, with the exception of 2011. He has planned for more consistent playing time for veteran Tarvaris Jackson, the incumbent primary backup to Russell Wilson, and for Pryor in the last two exhibitions. But Russell Wilson and the starting offense jumped to a 24-0 lead by halftime against San Diego, and it was 31-0 by half against Chicago last week. That would have made a normal workload of passing for Jackson and Pryor in the second halves unseemly, as if Carroll was running up the

minicamp this past June was marred by a fight between All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman and wide receiver Phil Bates that was caught by television cameras. Carroll confirmed that fight was a part of the focus by the league that led to the penalties.

Carroll said the Seahawks had received positive feedback from the league on multiple occasions that their practice habits were conforming to the rules regarding contact in practice. Ultimately, the scuffle between Bates and Sherman on June 18 led to a closer review of the sessions.

“A year ago and halfway through this camp, when they observed what was going on, they said everything was just fine so we kept going and just kept working,” Carroll said. “I was really pleased with that but unfortunately it went otherwise

The Seahawks starters seem set to make mere cameo appearances against the Raiders. But left tackle Russell Okung could get more play Thursday than any other. Coming off toe surgery in the spring he lasted just one series last week before getting tired. Asked what he needs to be ready for Green Bay next week Okung said: “Just reps, man. I gotta get real reps.” ... The Seahawks resigned running back Demitrius Bronson, whom they had cut the day before. That’s because Christine Michael strained his hamstring in practice Tuesday and will not play in Oakland. The team released guard/center Greg Van Roten to make roster room for Bronson. ...

Raiders rookie quarterback Derek Carr will start and get ample playing time in place of injured starter Matt Schaub.

score in the preseason.

“We haven’t had really good opportunities for the quarterbacks in the last couple weeks the way we like. The games have gone so it didn’t happen that way,” Carroll said.

“We’re going to try to make it so they get to play and show their stuff (in Oakland). I’d love for Terrelle to get some good play time in this game particularly because he didn’t get much of anything last week.”

Through the three preseason games Pryor has led eight drives with a combined 49 plays in which Seattle has gained 285 yards and scored 16 points. That’s 5.8 yards per play.

The Seahawks have converted four of 11 third downs into first downs with Pryor in the game.

Asked what he needs to improve on this offense, Pryor said, “Keep getting better on protections. Last week, the protection caused that pick. If I changed that, that pick would have never happened last week.

“Just things like that, little details like that. And just continue to learn the offense.”

He’s not looking ahead to what’s at stake for him Thursday night.

“I don’t look at it like that. I look at it as, it is what it is, every single day,” he said. “I try to cherish the moment.”

Jackson has played half the time Pryor has this month, four drives, because Carroll and offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell know what they have in the nine-year veteran who started for Seattle in 2011 and backed up Wilson last season.

The Seahawks have 84 yards — 3.1 yards per play — and two field goals with Jackson leading them this month. Seattle has converted three of seven third downs with him.

Carroll and Bevell covet Jackson’s experience and popularity within the team — they don’t forget he played games with a torn pectoral muscle a few seasons ago because the Seahawks needed him to.

That display of loyalty and guts goes a long way, certainly long enough to be Wilson’s primary backup again this season, no matter how well he does against the Raiders.

The issue is whether Pryor’s undeniable athleticism has piqued Carroll’s and Bevell’s interest enough keep three quarterbacks on the active roster to begin the regular season.

There are factors here

beyond the fact Pryor would never be active on game days this season as the No. 3 quarterback. Jackson has a one-year, guaranteed contract for $1.25 million. After that he will be 32 years old with 10 seasons and, for now, 34 starts in the league.

Pryor has one year remaining on the four-year deal he signed with Oakland in 2011. It is scheduled to pay him $705,000 this season. He will be 26 after this season, with 10 starts over parts of three seasons with the Raiders before now. So either way, the Seahawks would have to offer a new contract to either one or both of them, or go find a new backup quarterback after this season.

Pryor has a ways to go on accuracy in his passing, but he is also yearning for continuity in training and coaching. He believes he’s found that in Carroll’s and Bevell’s system.

“I had some great coaches (in Oakland),” Pryor said this week, “but I only had each coach for a year, so it was hard to get a taste and good look at and good feel for an offense.”

If the Seahawks think they can use Pryor in any way during the season — or even as a threat to an opponent that they could use him in any way on a given week — they may keep him.

“Sometimes you just can’t afford not to have three guys because they’re so good and you just got to have them,” Carroll said. “We were very fortunate that we made it through with the two-quarterback thing last year. Russell’s young and physical that can handle the pounding. He does a great job.

He’s not a guy that puts himself in harm’s way very often.

“The two-quarterbacks thing really helps you because you get another football player on your team — but sometimes you can’t afford to do it because your guys are too good.”

That’s the crux of it: Are Carroll and general manager John Schneider willing to keep Pryor at the expense of an extra backup offensive or defensive lineman?

Asked what he wanted to see from Pryor Thursday, Carroll said: “I hope the cool things we’ve seen on the practice field will show up on the game field. He had a nice first game then the opportunities just didn’t work out quite as well for chances to do things so hopefully this game it will be different.”

when we got to minicamp.”

Seattle also lost a pair of organized team activities during the 2012 offseason due to excessive contact.

Extra points

use a win Thursday before attempting to navigate tough conference schedules — the Pac12 for WSU and an inaugural run through the Big Ten for Rutgers.

But a closer examination reveals a dichotomy of strengths and weaknesses that separate the two teams, usually in WSU’s favor.

The Scarlet Knights boasted the No. 4 rushing defense among FBS teams last season. With stout defensive tackle Darius Hamilton back, Rutgers should again be difficult for teams to run on.

“They’re one of the best in the country against the run — I just think toughness,” WSU coach Mike Leach said.

But the ability to play well against rushing plays doesn’t mean much against an opponent that rarely runs it. And while the Cougars expect their rushing game to be improved this season they’ll certainly be happy to take what they’re given by a Scarlet Knights defense that was one of the country’s worst at defending the pass a season ago.

Getting quarterback Connor Halliday off to a good start is particularly important. The Cougars need Halliday to be the productive Air Raid general he was at the end of last season, and not the inconsistent, interceptionprone quarterback he was at the beginning.

“It’s important (for Halliday to have a good start),” Leach said.

“The rest of the offense and team in general draws from it. The biggest thing he just needs to worry about is going through routine plays and doing what he always does.”

WSU’s relative strength of defending the run offsets Rutgers’ potent rushing attack. The Cougars have experienced depth along the defensive line and at linebacker.

Rutgers quarterback Gary Nova is the most likely candidate to hurt the Cougars on either side of the ball. He has 28 starts under his belt over the last three seasons and ranks near the top on most of the school’s passing-record lists.

“He started some (games) his first year so I mean he’s been king of the hill there for a long time so I think he really is key to their offensive effort,” said Leach.

Nova did lose his starting gig at the end of last season and had to earn it back in fall camp. Who he’ll be throwing to is also no sure thing.

Receiver Leonte Carroo is a big play waiting to happen. He had nine touchdowns last season on just 28 receptions, and they came in bunches: three in the season-opener at Fresno State, and two against Arkansas, Southern Methodist and Temple.

But Nova’s second and third options, Ruhann Peele and Andre Patton, have both been ruled out for the game because of injuries.

The uncertainty of whether Rutgers offensive coordinator Ralph Friedgen will play to his team’s strengths or attack WSU’s weaknesses has defensive coordinator Mike Breske taking a wait-and-see approach.

“That’s what the first quarter’s all going to be about,” Breske said. “Just kind of seeing personnel groups, formations, plays off of first down, second down, third down, whatever it may be and see if there’s a pattern.”

Rams’ Fisher angry over ESPN report on Sam’s ‘showering habits’ St. Louis Post-Dispatch Rams coach Jeff Fisher remains angry over an ESPN report that dealt in part with the “showering habits” of defensive end Michael Sam by ESPN reporter Josina Anderson.

“I’m extremely disappointed in her piece,” Fisher said Wednesday.

“I think it’s unethical,” Fisher said. “I think it’s very, very unprofessional. Not only the piece itself, the content. The manner in which she did it.”

Fisher said he was made aware of the report Tuesday, has seen the report, and also has seen ESPN’s subsequent apology.

Sharapova, Wawrinka survive at U.S. Open

By Howard Fendrich Associated Press

NEW YORK — A year ago at this time, Maria Sharapova was sitting out the U.S. Open, getting checked by doctors and having tests on the surgically repaired right shoulder that has troubled her off and on.

On Wednesday, Sharapova found herself down by a set and facing a break point early in the second at Flushing Meadows, bothered by the whipping wind, her own off-target strokes and an opponent who wasn’t backing down.

As dusk fell and the Arthur Ashe Stadium lights came on, Sharapova came through the way she

so often does in the crucible of a third set, beating 95th-ranked Alexandra Dulgheru of Romania 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 in the second round of the Grand Slam tournament she won in 2006 but has missed twice in the past six years.

Sharapova won in part because of her big shots, yes, but also because she had more in the tank when it mattered.

“Overall I felt like in the end I was in much better shape than she was, and I could have played another few sets,” Sharapova said.

“Mentally that helped me a lot.”

It helped that Dulgheru had played one set over the past five weeks because of inflammation in her right

as a key factor, too.

“The thing is that she’s smacking the ball and she’s a fighter. ... It can seem that she’s down, that she’s tired, but she’s there,” Dulgheru said. “She can get mentally really tough. She hangs in there with you until the end.”

Sharapova improved to 17-6 in three-setters this season, including four wins in a row that went the distance en route to the title at the French Open in June, her fifth Grand Slam trophy.

“It’s really good to get through,” said Sharapova, who faces 2013 Wimbledon runner-up Sabine

Lisicki next. “Put yourself in a really tough position, but then you’re able to find a way to get back and finish really strong.”

She managed to do that on a day that was not easy for some other seeded women in the second round, although No. 19 Venus Williams, the 200001 champion in New York, advanced with a 6-1, 6-4 victory over 78th-ranked Timea Bacsinszky at night.

That match was followed

by Australian Open champion Stan Wawrinka’s 6-3, 6-4, 3-6, 7-6 (1) victory over 91st-ranked Thomaz Bellucci of Brazil.

As the match stretched past midnight, the thirdseeded Wawrinka got into a tiff with a spectator, saying: “Shut up, man! Seriously, shut up.”

He’s into the third round in New York for the fourth time in five years. He was a semifinalist a year ago.

Williams got to the third round at Flushing Meadows for the first time since 2010.

“As the tournament goes on it will get tougher,” Williams said.

No. 4 Agnieszka Radwanska, a finalist at Wimbledon two years ago, became the first man or

woman seeded in the top 10 to lose, defeated 6-3, 6-4 by 39th-ranked Peng Shuai of China. And No. 21 Sloane Stephens of the United States had her earliest exit at the U.S. Open, eliminated 5-7, 6-4, 6-2 by 96th-ranked Johanna Larsson of Sweden.

Stephens was largely her own undoing, compiling a whopping 63 unforced errors.

She was in such a hurry to get out of there that she briskly walked around the net to Larsson’s side of the court for a handshake.

Stephens has failed to get past the second round at 11 tournaments in 2014, including the past two Grand Slam events. That follows a streak in which the 21-year-old American made it to the fourth round or better at six consecutive majors.

After three days of action, the men’s tournament has yet to have a significant surprise, and the only seeded players to lose Wednesday were No. 27 Santiago Giraldo of Colombia and No. 30 Jeremy Chardy of France.

The man who beat Chardy, 92nd-ranked Blaz Kavcic of Slovenia, now faces Wawrinka.

GENNA MARTIN / THE HERALD

Pat McVay sits on a wood baseball glove sculpture he carved at South Whidbey Community Park. The glove, along with other sculptures and furniture he has created, will be for sale at Woodapalooza this weekend in Langley on Whidbey Island.

Wizards of Wood

By Andrea Brown Herald Writer

LANGLEY — Pat it. Stroke it. Sit your butt down on it.

Sculptor Pat McVay wants you to do more than just look at his art.

“Some people may have a sign that says ‘Do Not Touch,’” the Clinton artist said. “Mine’s the opposite: Please climb all over it. I like people to interact with it.”

His wooden creations beg for it, whether it’s the 7-foot-tall baseball mitt chair in South Whidbey Community Park or a statue of a gangster holding out his derby hat as an ashtray at the Seattle waterfront pier.

McVay, 64, has done hundreds of pieces in his 40 years armed with a saw.

He is among 20 artists at this weekend’s “Woodpalooza” by Whidbey Island Woodworkers Guild. Carvers, boat builders and musical instrument makers will be on hand to show off their unique skills.

The free, three-day event is a chance to meet the artists and try to figure out what makes them tick.

“Most of the world doesn’t know we exist,” guild spokesman Gary A. Leake said.

Woodworking is often a solitary practice, with the artists holed up in studios with hunks of wood and power tools.

Yeah, even their families can take their amazing talents for granted.

“My son’s friends come over and they say, ‘Wow, your dad does this?’ And they want to know all about it and he says, ‘Let’s go play video games,’” McVay said. “Same thing from my wife. Oh, just another sculpture.”

His themes are flowers and birds, sports and fishermen.

“I like to challenge myself with different styles,” he said. “Every day I have to make something. That’s the curse of self-employment. And it’s something I really love.”

Check out sculptor’s touchable creations and much more at ‘Woodapalooza’ this weekend on Whidbey

If you go “Woodpalooza” is noon to 5 p.m.

Saturday, Sunday and Monday, with a reception 6 to 9 p.m. Friday, Whidbey Island Center for the Arts, Zech Hall, 565 Camano Ave., Langley.

Admission is free.

For more information: www.Woodpalooza.com.

A brother, sister and nephew are also chain-saw artists, each with a different style.

“After I use a chain saw, then I use smaller saw, then a smaller saw, then a sander, then I get out a little chisel and other tools,” McVay said. “All the wood I use is salvage. Wood that blew down in storms or from the road department widening the road.”

About 200 of his carvings of fishermen, diners, waiters, gangsters and movie stars are on Seattle’s Pier 57. Several are atop the roof hauling fish into a boat. The sea otter bench at Seattle Aquarium is also his doing.

His work is in parks and plazas from California to Canada.

McVay captures his subjects in a moment and puts an animated spin into their next step, bite or swing. A sculpture of man dining at a table wipes his face with a napkin. Two statues in a wine garden gossip. The life-sized carving of Babe Ruth is posed ready to slam a ball, right down to the action wrinkles in his uniform.

A man thrown backward by a tsunami of junkmail from a mailbox is a whimsical favorite in Clinton. It’s by the post office.

McVay’s art can take a serious turn.

atch out for fake antiques, especially copies of wellknown pieces. In about 1820, some potters in the Staffordshire district of England made portrait figures of famous politicians, actors and athletes to sell in local shops.

Remember, this was a time when there were no color images of people except paintings.

Often the potters confused the personalities. A famous error was the figure of Benjamin Franklin made in about 1820. Some had the name “General Washington” painted on the front of the base. In the 1950s, when Staffordshire figures were again very popular, many copies of both the correct and incorrect Franklin were made.

Other old fakes still are around.

Other named copies show well-known men of the day, including Shakespeare, the comic Joseph Grimaldi, a bust of Washington or even a pair of cricket bowlers. Be careful.

A: The Northwest Chair Co. made furniture in South Tacoma from about 1900 to the 1950s. In the mid-1920s, they opened distribution warehouses in Los Angeles and Berkeley, California. An advertisement claimed the company made “bedroom, children’s, dining room, kitchen, library and store chairs made of ash, birch, mahogany, oak and walnut.” In addition to furniture, the company made airplane parts for Boeing in 1944. We’ve seen a similar Morris-type rocking chair priced at $100.

How to attract pollinators to garden

By Dean Fosdick

What to plant

Associated Press

The dramatic loss of honeybees to changing land use, viruses and pesticides is alarming, and they are irreplaceable as pollinators. But you can somewhat offset their loss by attracting alternative pollinators, such as beetles, butterflies and moths, dragonflies, feral bees, wasps and flower flies.

Attracting these beneficial insects requires a long-term landscaping commitment, however. They need a wide variety of forage plants along with protected nesting sites to thrive.

“The plant community and the bee community are intimately related,” said David Gordon, an associate professor of entomology at Pittsburg State University in Pittsburg, Kansas. “Habitat is everything to pollinators.”

Start by observing, protecting and enhancing what’s already on your property.

“Know what’s out there in the way of beneficial insects and forage plants,” Gordon said. “If you have some bees present, you can generally increase their numbers by providing them the resources they need to proliferate.

“The smaller the size of your operation, the more likely that such

For an exhaustive list of plants attractive to native bees and other pollinators, see this USDA fact sheet: www.ars.usda.gov/research/ docs.htm?docid=12052 a strategy will be successful and in a shorter time,” he said.

Eric Mader, assistant director of The Xerces Society’s pollinator program and lead author of its new guide, “Farming With Native Beneficial Insects” (Storey Publishing), says, “Honeybees always will be needed for almonds and larger, industrial-size agriculture crops.”

“They’ll always be part of the equation. But for many crops native to the United States, like blueberries and pumpkins, that evolved prior to the introduction of (European) honeybees, native bees do a perfectly adequate job pollinating these plants,” he said.

Syrphid flies are a good honeybee alternative. “These so-called ‘flower flies’ superficially resemble bees,” Mader said. “They’re predatory insects as larvae, primarily feeding on aphids. Then they become important pollinators as adults.

“The next most important are

solitary wasps,” he said. “These are docile, gentle animals. They can be very small.”

Crop-pollinating native bees and other beneficial insects have three basic habitat needs, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture: Plant variety. Provide forage plants with overlapping blooming times so that flowers are available to provide pollen and nectar throughout the insects’ flight season, or from early spring until late fall. Native bees and other pollinators come in many sizes, so it also is important to provide flowers of various sizes, shapes and colors, the USDA said in a fact sheet.

Nesting sites. Many bees nest underground, in tree cavities or snags — often clumps of leaves, branches and fallen grass. “That makes them vulnerable to deep soil tillage or tree removal,” the agency said.

Protection from indiscriminate pesticide use. “Insecticides are primarily broad-spectrum and are therefore deadly to bees. Herbicide use also can remove many of the flowers that bees need for food,” the USDA said.

“The goal should not be to eliminate your use of honeybees but to diversify and reduce your dependence upon them,” Gordon said.

Four renovation projects to do INSIDE

AUGUST IS

INSIDE RENOVATION MONTH! Take advantage of the warm weather.

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

Renovate the kitchen Renovating the kitchen can be a long, complex process, even more so because it is a key room in the home. Renovating your kitchen during the summer has its advantages: you can prepare meals outdoors on the barbecue and use the backyard as a dining area.

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

the temptation of taking a dip in your pool on such a beautiful day!

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

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

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

Faceted decor emerges as hot trend for fall Wood From Page D1

By Kim Cook Associated Press

Fans of crisp, modern architecture and cleanlined shapes will love one of this fall’s strongest style trends: faceted décor.

For those who feel that the whole bold, geometricpattern thing is nearing overexposure, faceted furniture and prints make sense, according to New York designer Elaine Griffin.

“Purer and streamlined, the faceted silhouette is the stylistic descendent of geometrics — think geometrics deconstructed,” she says.

The style, says Griffin, can be modern (the faceted Hearst Tower in New York City oozes architectural chic), primitive (think Grand Canyon) and vintage (Art Deco and the Cubists).

“Faceted shapes are intrinsically more visually appealing because, whether they’re mirrored or not, they reflect more light,” she says.

“A faceted element in a piece adds a stylish, decorative layer of dimension and surface interest without crossing over into the fussy, frilly or overdone.”

The “gemstone” shape is especially attractive in reflective materials — mirror, glass, shiny metallics — where light plays off the planes. The look is clean, contemporary and luxe.

Yet in ceramic, wood or fabric, the polyhedron shape looks appealingly organic, as in honeycombs and cellular structures.

Wayfair’s got faceted décor from several sources. Stacked, smoky, etched-glass facets make a smart-looking Borghese table. Imax’s lemon-yellow ceramic Chantal vase has a chic modern look. Three simple, faceted crystal blocks anchor Safavieh’s Cube fixture, creating a

Spanish designer Patricia Urquiola has designed a chunky, faceted acrylic vase, also for Kartell.

Available in several soft hues, the Jelly vase could also hold a flameless candle. (www.allmodern. com) And German designer Elisa Strozyk crafts wood facets onto fabrics to create “wooden textiles,” with a unique texture.

The fabrics can be used as throws, drapery, coverlets or upholstery. (www. elisastrozyk.de)

Memorial Chair in memory of a teen killed in a car wreck. At the chair legs is a cat and soccer ball.

“He had a funny cat and he loved to read and he brought his ‘Masterpiece Theatre’ chair to school to do his book report,” McVay said. “I did a life-sized portrait of his chair and it overlooks where he played.”

By the baseball dugout is a bat 12 feet long and a ball 3 feet round that McVay gave the park in 2007.

“I cut my wrist accidentally with a very aggressive sander about eight years ago and it went all the way to the bone,” he said. “I couldn’t work for six months and almost lost my hand. The community threw a big benefit for me and it paid over half my medical expenses.

And it picked my spirits up so much as a gift back I donated that to the park.”

The giant mitt has been on loan to the park for two years.

“It’s modeled after the mitt I used in high school and college. See how it’s all beat up?” McVay said. “You see bats with dents in them and balls with strings hanging out. That was the idea.

I left tool marks on them. I wanted it to be distressed already. It’s like beat-up sports equipment that you’d see laying around in a park.”

McVay is uprooting the mitt to take to “Woodpalooza” to show and maybe sell. Asking price: $5,000.

Some fans might be hoping it doesn’t sell.

“It’s been a great addition to the park,” said Tom Fallon, park district facilities supervisor. “During the all-star season, kids from all the other areas we play just love it. They’re always taking pictures of it.”

Antiques: Booklet touts wonders of Peptonized Port From Page D1

Current prices

of a ship called Tusculana.

Do you have any information about the maker?

A: T. & R. Boote was founded by Thomas and Richard Boote in Burslem, Staffordshire, England, in 1842. The company made pavement tiles, Parian ware and earthenware.

It began making white graniteware for export to the United States in 1888.

Production was limited to tiles after 1906. T. & R. Boote used a boat as part of its mark from 1890 to 1906.

Tusculana is the name of a pattern that was made from 1903 to 1906.

Q: I bought an advertising booklet that has a man’s frowning face and “Dyspeptic Pete” on the front and a smiling face with “Happy Pete” on the back. It also reads “The Walther Peptonized Port Co., Sole Proprietors, Pittsburgh, Pa., U.S.A.” I bought it at an estate. Can you tell me its history and value?

A: Walther’s Peptonized Port contained port wine and pepsin and was advertised as a cure for dyspepsia (indigestion).

It was sold in drugstores and advertised “for nursing mothers, tired women, old folks, invalids, convalescents, weakened and run down folks generally.” Your 12-page booklet includes a story in verse about Peter Gradgrind, who changed from “Dyspeptic Pete” to “Happy Pete” after trying a bottle of Walther’s Peptonized Port. Many medicinal remedies sold during the 19th and early 20th centuries contained alcohol, although it didn’t have to be listed as an ingredient until the passage of the Pure Food

Current prices are recorded from antiques shows, flea markets, sales and auctions throughout the United States. Prices vary in different locations because of local economic conditions.

Campbell Kids print, “Tomato is a Fruit,” blackboard, textured paper, 1970s, 8 x 10 inches, $15.

Pewter plate, round, Samuel Pierce, double touch mark, c. 1790, 8 inches, $105.

Wave Crest glass dresser box, oval, blue, pink flowers, enameled, marked “Kelva, CFM Co.,” 51⁄2 x 4 inches, $240.

Carriage lamp, silver plated, two gothic arches, glass panels, electrified, 1800s, 421⁄2 inches, $295.

Tea caddy, mahogany, casket shape, lion’s head handles, ivory, brass, 8 x 12 inches, $355.

Coca-Cola tray, woman wearing yellow dress, wide white hat, 1920, 13 x 11 inches, $360.

Metal inkwell, figural, woman sitting in bathtub, copper surface, glass well, footed, Kercher Baths, Congress & Wabash, Chicago, c. 1916, 23⁄4 x 4 inches, $415.

Montblanc fountain pen set, propelling pencil, black hard rubber, clip, 1920s, baby size 0, $560.

Tiffany glass bowl, Favrile, iridescent gold, intaglio cut vine & leaf, flared rim, signed, 1925, 31⁄2 x 8 inches, $750.

Weather vane, running horse, full bodied, copper, zinc head, gilt, tan paint, Dexter, c.1890, 181⁄2 x 311⁄2 inches, $1,530. and Drug Act in 1906.

Some popular remedies contained more than 40 percent alcohol. Walther Peptonized Port was sold from about 1901 through 1915, so your booklet was published during those years. Value: $10 to $20.

Q: Is there any kind of a market for used shoetopped roller skates from the 1940s? They’re in very good shape, but I used them a lot because I used to dance in them several times a week.

A: Your skates are not what we’d call “collectible.”

That word would apply if, for example, someone famous once owned them.

But it’s possible you could sell them on eBay or Craigslist for $20 or even a little more.

Q: I found a very old straight razor in the original box. It was made by Johnson Brothers Hardware Co. of Cincinnati.

How old is it? Are old razors collectible?

A: The Johnson brothers had a wholesale and retail hardware business in Cincinnati beginning in 1881. According to an 1886

listing, the company carried general hardware and

“pocket and table cutlery.”

The name of the business

became Johnson Bros.

Hardware Co. in 1891. By

FREE

then it was selling tools as well as hardware and cutlery. It still was in business in 1913, when it was listed in a directory of hardware dealers. Collectors of old razors want razors in good, unrestored condition. If you are thinking of selling the razor, don’t polish it.

The original box adds value.

Old straight razors sell for $15 and up, depending on condition and maker.

Tip: Do not hang photographs in direct sunlight.

The UV rays will damage photographs.

Assistant principal put stop to bullying While I’m away, readers give the advice.

On witnessing an act of cruelty: I was bullied viciously through most of my childhood. My parents assumed it was my fault and punished me rather than helping. The neighbors and most teachers saw it as just the way kids are.

That was just how life was until eighth grade, when the assistant principal, a big man who inspired both respect and fear in the students, happened to see me attacked, and reacted with rage toward my attackers, and at the same time, great gentleness and kindness toward me.

He was, of course, in a position to put an end to my troubles, at least while I was at school, and he did make it his business to see that I was safe and treated with compassion and understanding while I worked to heal deep wounds and learn to fit in, and that was wonderful.

More importantly to me, however, was that he was the first person in my life who showed me that I had value, that I did not deserve this, that I was not somehow innately bad. I am sure he forgot all about me by the end of summer break, and never realized the gift he gave me, but in

parent and step-parent actively participate in school functions to support the child.

A parent who isn’t willing to spend that time with a child should be a warning sign, and if the girlfriend/boyfriend isn’t willing to graciously encourage the parent to be a part of that, then that should be a warning sign to both of them.

Wife balks at burden of mother-in-law’s care Dear Abby: My motherin-law is 80 and in the early stages of Alzheimer’s.

She lives alone an hour and a half from us. She also has a professional who takes care of her once a week. My husband, “Fred,” goes to help and entertain her every weekend, and I sometimes accompany him. She has enough money to stay in an assisted living facility, but Fred wants to build a mother-in-law apartment for her on our property.

Abby, I DON’T LIKE HER. She was a bully when she was younger, and she’s still manipulative. She has made some comments about me hitting her, which never happened. Of course, Fred believed me.

If she lives with us, I will be her main caregiver because I have a home-based business and a flexible schedule.

I have already said no to Fred’s idea, but I don’t want to be the bad guy.

His two brothers live states away and don’t want to be involved because of the way their mother treated them during their teens.

Could you help me to sort this out? — Three’s A Crowd In Maryland Dear Three’s A Crowd: I’ll try. Caring for someone who has Alzheimer’s disease is a full-time job because the disease is PROGRESSIVE. While Fred’s mother can live alone with the help of a professional once a week now, that will soon not be the case. Your motherin-law should be in an assisted living facility staffed with caregivers who have been trained to take care of people with Alzheimer’s. Because you have a business to run, it can’t be you.

DEAR ABBY often to ensure she is welltreated. But he should NOT expect the responsibility of caring for her to be yours because it is unrealistic.

Dear Abby: My wife likes to leave money hidden in the house or car as her little ATM. The problem is, one or both of our teenagers discover her stashes and the money disappears. We have had a family meeting about it, yet it continues. I have argued for years with her that part of the problem is leaving money around, not cleverly hidden.

My wife blames one kid who she wants to kick out, but what if it’s the other?

Now she’s blaming me for not solving the problem.

She wants us to be on the “same page,” but that usually means her page. Any ideas? Family counseling?

— Dad In The Middle Dear Dad: Your wife may want to place the blame on you, but there is more than one problem happening in your household. The first is her insistence on leaving money where it’s tempting a teen (or two) who steals.

Second, you don’t know who is taking the money and what it’s being used for.

Third is your wife’s idea that a quick fix would be to throw a dependent child out.

Your teens should both be tested for drugs and evaluated for emotional problems. After that, family counseling might help you all communicate more successfully with one another.

How would you play the slam?

Cy’s play wasn’t best. After he wins the second trump, he should take the A-K of clubs.

When East-West play low, Cy discards his low heart on the ace of diamonds and ruffs a diamond. He takes his high hearts to discard dummy’s J-3 of clubs, ruffs a club, ruffs a diamond, draws trumps and wins the 13th trick with his

DAILY QUESTION You hold: ♠ Q 7 4 ♥ 5 ◆ A J 6 4 2 A K J 3. You open one diamond, your partner responds one spade, you bid two clubs and he tries two hearts. What do you say?

ANSWER: Your partner must have a decent hand; his second bid in a new suit is forcing and has failed to limit his strength. Jump to three spades, as North did in today’s deal, to suggest extra values and three-card support. You would settle for a two-spade preference with Q 7, 5 2, A 7 6 4 2, A K 3 2.

TELEVISION

Among Thursday’s best bets on television: Season 2 of “Defiance” ends.

8 p.m., Syfy Chris Parnell hosts “World’s Wildest Commercials,” a collection of outrageous advertisements. Resist the urge to fast-forward through the entire program. 10 p.m., ABC. So you think television doesn’t provide a valuable public service? Think again. On tonight’s “Snack-Off,” amateur cooks work to create the ultimate hangover cure. 10:30 p.m., MTV.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today’s highlight: On August 28, 1964, two days of race-related rioting erupted in North Philadelphia over a false rumor that white police officers had beaten to death a pregnant black woman.

On this date: In 1609, English sea explorer Henry Hudson and his ship, the Half Moon, reached present-day Delaware Bay. In 1922, the first-ever radio commercial aired on station WEAF in New York City; the 10-minute advertisement was for the Queensboro Realty Co., which had paid a fee of $100.

In 1955, Emmett Till, a black teenager from Chicago, was abducted from his uncle’s home in Money, Mississippi, by two white men after he had supposedly whistled at a white woman; he was found brutally slain three days later.

In 1963, more than 200,000 listened as the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. Associated Press

‘BoJack’ a horse of very familiar color

By Mary McNamara

And the horse you rode in on

Los Angeles Times

As a long-term sustainable business model, binge-watching works only if the original content being produced is binge-worthy, i.e. any good.

So I’m not quite sure what Netflix is thinking with “BoJack Horseman,” other than realizing a rather naked desire to create genre diversity and showcase a newfound popularity with A-listers like Will Arnett, Aaron Paul and Amy Sedaris. Beyond these supposed accomplishments, however, there really isn’t much to, er, graze on in the adult-oriented comedy, which becomes available Friday.

For reasons known only to creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg, the show exists in a universe where some people are people and some are talking, bipedal versions of various animals.

BoJack Horseman (Arnett) is an upright horse who is also a washed up sitcom star. In the ‘90s, he headlined “Horsin’ Around,” a “Full-Housian” tale

“BoJack Horseman” will be available Friday on Netflix. Rating: TV-MA (may be unsuitable for children under the age of 17).

of a bachelor horse who finds true happiness when he adopts three orphan children.

Now BoJack lives in one of those big glass houses favored by writers seeking to make a statement about Hollywood, with a couch-surfing slacker leech/ assistant (Paul). BoJack spends his days watching his own reruns while his agent/sometime lover, Princess Caroline (a pink cat voiced by Sedaris) fails to find him even a walk-on in “War Horse.”

Instead, she pushes him to finish his memoir. Princess Caroline hires Diane (Alison Brie), a ghost writer who happens to be living with BoJack’s “nemesis,” Mr. Peanutbutter (Paul F. Tompkins), a golden retriever who had a show similar to “Horsin’ Around.” Diane is there to get BoJack to face his fears, tell his story and, presumably, become a better horse.

All of which is not nearly as confusing as it sounds or, unfortunately, as funny. In parodying

SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY 50 years ago (1964) An open house honoring the 80th birthday of Tom Bowen, pioneer resident of the area, would be held at his home, Route 4, Everett. Bowen came here from Iowa when he was 16 and had lived in the Marshland and Snohomish area since. He retired eight years ago, after 35 years as a cattle buyer.

Tomorrow began the threeday grand opening of Wayne’s Village Inn in Snohomish. The new restaurant offered a split

the celebrity life, Bob-Waksberg only occasionally hits the mark.

Mostly, however, the show safely canters through familiar terrain: The oblivious narcissism of actors complete with drinking, drugs and random sex; the double-edge sword of social media, the ruthlessness of agents, etc., etc.

Twenty-five years after the debut of “The Simpsons,” satiric adult animation is nothing new.

Being the first such show with an instantly available full season may still be a novelty, but that too is getting old.

In the end, if you want people to watch your show, your best bet is to make sure it’s very good.

Chefs, writers share memories of Julia Child The food-and-drink website www.thedailymeal.com recently asked 10 chefs and food writers for their memories of the original TV chef, Julia Child. Chef James Villas recalled: “Every time I met up with Julia, I knew to bring her a bag of her favorite snack: Pepperidge Farm Goldfish. She could and would consume the entire bag by the time we parted.”
