School funding in court Justices scold lawmakers’ inaction, but were uncertain about what to do should they find them in contempt. By Jerry Cornfield Herald Writer

OLYMPIA — In a much-anticipated clash, state Supreme Court justices on Wednesday scolded lawmakers for disregarding their orders over public school funding. But they didn’t seem certain what more they wanted to do, or could do.

Throughout a 45-minute hearing, justices wrestled with the level of response warranted should they find lawmakers in contempt for ignoring a January order to provide a detailed plan for fully funding schools by 2018. Possible punishments discussed at the hearing included a stern warning, invalidating tax breaks to bring in revenue and

simply continuing the hearing to see what transpires during the 2015 legislative session. “Short of doing nothing, what can we do?” Justice Mary Yu asked of Senior Assistant Attorney General Alan Copsey in the hearing’s final moments. Copsey argued against sanctions but asked that if the court settles on a punishment, it not be imposed until after the 2015 session. Lawmakers understand the seriousness of the situation and

are motivated to make decisions in the upcoming session to ensure they meet the deadline, he said. Sanctions intended to coerce behavior might actually compel elected officials to push back against the court, he said. The attorney for the families and education organizations behind the original lawsuit over funding, known as McCleary vs. the state of Washington, urged See COURT, back page, this section

The teacher’s first day, too Laurel Hasten has her very own third-grade class at Challenger

KEVIN CLARK / THE HERALD

Laurel Hasten, a first-year teacher, works with children on the first day of her third-grade class at Challenger Elementary School in Everett on Wednesday.

Herald Writer

EVERETT — The last days of summer still clung to them. On Wednesday, students in Laurel Hasten’s third-grade class were just beyond long days filled with campouts, sticky Popsicles, the sting of chlorine pools and sun-baked bike rides. The students were settling into desks, long pants and the feel of pencils in their hands. They wore new clothes and toted backpacks not yet broken in by the weight of books and sack lunches. School is back in session at Challenger Elementary School in south Everett. Wednesday was the first day of school for most of the more

than 100,000 students across Snohomish County. It also marked Hasten’s first day as a full-time teacher, with her own students. “I was pretty nervous about it. It’s been such a fun day. The nerves went away and it’s just been an exciting day,” she said. Extra supplies were piled up on a table. Bulletin boards were waiting for artwork. An inviting reading nook took up a corner of the classroom. Hasten had spent days readying Room 25. She is an alumna of the Mukilteo School District. Hasten grew up on Whidbey Island until middle school. She graduated from Kamiak High School in 2010. She attended Central

Tech transfer likely earlier In the interests of staff, the county auditor says, she agreed to return oversight of the computer systems department before next year. By Noah Haglund Herald Writer

EVERETT — Snohomish County Auditor Carolyn Weikel has agreed to hand over management of the county’s computer systems later this month, likely ending a dispute with County Executive John Lovick. The County Council could authorize the transfer at a hearing set for 10:30 a.m. Sept. 24. The tech department had been scheduled to return to the executive’s authority next February. “I had a plan to move IS (information services) forward, but I don’t have the future,” Weikel said last week. “It’s time for the IS folks to stop feeling like a ball being tossed back and forth.” Leadership of the tech department became a point of contention among county leaders this year. Historically, tech workers have fallen under the authority of the county executive. In early 2013, however, the County Council snatched control of the department away from Lovick’s predecessor, Aaron Reardon. The emergency move came as Reardon’s aide, Kevin Hulten, was implicated in harassing his boss’ political enemies through an elaborate scheme of public records requests and social media sites. The council entrusted the tech department to Weikel as a temporary safeguard with a sunset date in February 2015. In the meantime, Reardon resigned and Lovick was appointed to take his place. The criminal investigation led to Hulten’s guilty plea in July to a charge of evidence tampering, a gross misdemeanor. He admitted downloading a program that wiped data from the hard drive of a county-owned computer he knew detectives wanted to examine. Hulten reported to a work crew in Skagit County last week to serve a five-day sentence. Weikel said she wanted to retain control of the computer department to push through a series of reforms. Some changes involved making abundantly

Recline rancor: Passenger recalls seat dispute “I said a lot of things I shouldn’t have said to the flight attendant,” he says. Associated Press NEW YORK — The businessman whose dispute with a fellow airline passenger over a reclined seat sparked a national debate about air-travel etiquette says he’s embarrassed by the way the confrontation unfolded and regrets his behavior. But don’t expect James Beach to stop using the Knee Defender, a $22 gadget that attaches to a passenger’s tray table and prevents the person in front from reclining. He just plans to be nicer about it. “I’m pretty ashamed and embarrassed by what happened,” Beach said Wednesday. “I could have handled it so much better.” The argument became so tense that the pilots of the Aug. 24 fight diverted the Boeing 737 to Chicago. A story about the incident started a broad public discussion of whether passengers should be allowed to recline. In the days that followed, two other flights were diverted because of similar disagreements. Beach, 48, reached out to clarify a few things about the episode, primarily that he initially complied with flight attendant instructions to remove the device. For the record, he said, he never reclines his seat. “You have the right, but it seems rude to do it,” said Beach, who is 6-foot-1. The dispute occurred on the final leg of Beach’s trip back to his home near Denver. After returning to the U.S. from a business trip to Moscow, he went on standby for an earlier flight

for the leg from Newark, New Jersey, to Denver and was given a middle seat. When the jet was airborne, Beach took out his laptop to review a contract for his company, which develops waste recycling facilities primarily in Russia. He used the Knee Defender — a Christmas gift a few years ago from his wife — to prevent the woman in front from reclining. U.S. airlines prohibit use of the Knee Defender, but the devices are not illegal. “I put them in maybe a third of the time. Usually, the person in front tries (to recline) their seat a couple of times, and then they forget about it,” Beach said. The device comes with a courtesy card to tell passengers that you’ve blocked them, but he doesn’t use it. “I’d rather just kind of let them think the seat is broken, rather than start a confrontation,” he said. Beach, who said he flies 75,000

to 100,000 miles a year, wasn’t so lucky this time. When the flight attendants came through the cabin to serve beverages, the woman said her seat was broken. That’s when Beach told one of them about the Knee Defender. The flight attendant asked him to remove the device, and Beach said he did. “As soon as I started to move it, she just full force, blasted the seat back, right on the laptop, almost shattered the screen. My laptop came flying onto my lap,” he said. Beach complained, saying that he couldn’t work like that, but the flight attendant informed him that the woman had the right to recline. Both passengers were sitting in United’s Economy Plus section, which offers 4 more inches of legroom than the rest of coach. His reply: “You asked me to let her recline a few inches, and she just took 100 percent of it.” That’s when Beach’s anger boiled over. He said he pushed

the woman’s seat forward and put the Knee Defender back in. The woman stood up and threw a cup of soda — not water, as previously reported — at him. “It was really just surreal and shocking. Did that just happen?” Beach recalls. “I said, ‘I hope you brought your checkbook because you just threw your Sprite all over my $2,000 laptop.’ ” The flight attendant stepped in quickly and moved the woman to another seat. “I said a lot of things I shouldn’t have said to the flight attendant: some bad words, what’s your name and ‘I can’t believe you’re treating me like this,’ ” he recalled. The pilots then changed course for Chicago — a decision that Beach said “amazed” him. “The plane was dead quiet for the rest of that flight,” he added. “Nobody said a word.” Ira Goldman, who invented the Knee Defender, said the passengers on the other diverted flights

got upset after their knees and head were hit by reclining seats. He said airlines are “trying to wish this problem away.” His solution: Install seats that slide forward within a shell to recline or to allow the use of his device, which has been sold since 2003. “They’re selling the same space twice — to me to sit down and then inviting people to put their seat backs there as well,” he said. When the plane landed in Chicago, police escorted Beach and the woman off. Neither police, nor the airline or the Transportation Security Administration has released any information about the passenger seated in front of Beach. No criminal or civil charges were brought against them, but United would not let them continue on to Denver. Beach said he spent the night at an airport hotel and then caught a flight home the next morning. He flew Spirit Airlines. It has no reclining seats.

Storefront windows smashed along Broadway By Eric Stevick Herald Writer

EVERETT — Greg Goetz tried to look on the bright side after someone broke the doublepaned front door to the paralegal business he and his wife operate on Broadway. “It could have been worse,” he

said. “It could have been a breakin. It could have been in the middle of winter.” Their business, Peaceful Separations, which helps couples going through uncontested divorces, was one of roughly a dozen properties left with shattered windows Wednesday. Goetz said the vandal threw

a piece of pavement with such force it spread shards of glass to the far side of the office. Everett police arrested a 37-year-old man Wednesday morning and booked him into the Snohomish County Jail for investigation of malicious mischief. They believe he caused roughly $15,000 in damage to the

buildings between the 2600 and 3600 blocks of Broadway and on the 3200 block of Smith Avenue. The vandalism occurred early Wednesday morning, Everett police officer Aaron Snell said. In each case, it appeared someone smashed windows with rocks and, in at least the one case, the chunk of pavement.

Police were aided by a witness in the 2600 block of Broadway. The witness called 911, followed the suspect and identified him when police arrived, Snell said. Police also are reviewing surveillance camera footage. Eric Stevick: 425-339-3446; stevick@heraldnet.com

Trials down the line for protesters By Eric Stevick Herald Writer

EVERETT — A battle over coal and oil trains in Everett is moving from the rail yard to the courtroom. Five protesters taken to jail Tuesday after blocking a stretch of rail line could face more than trespassing charges. They also were booked into the Snohomish County Jail for investigation of obstructing a law enforcement officer and delaying a train. One was bailed out Tuesday night while the other four spent the night in jail. “They refused to post bail,” said Delaney Piper, a spokeswoman for the protesters. The four appeared in Everett District Court on Wednesday morning before being released pending trial, Piper said. Among the five people arrested were retired Everett teacher Jackie Minchew and Everett cafe owner Mike

Lapointe, who lost a congressional bid in the August primary election. They were among more than two dozen people opposed to oil and coal shipments to demonstrate near a Burlington Northern Santa Fe yard Tuesday

morning. Protesters erected an 18-foot-high tripod across the tracks along the Snohomish River in north Everett. The five people arrested were either on or attached to the tripod. Before the afternoon was over, they were in handcuffs and

being driven away in police cars. The demonstration was announced by the group Rising Tide Seattle to protest shipments of oil, coal and gas by train and proposed shipping terminals in the Northwest. An increase in the number of trains carrying oil from the northern Great Plains, and the possibility that coal shipments also will increase in years ahead, have raised fears among environmentalists and local officials. A protest in Anacortes in July targeted the Tesoro refinery where crude oil shipments arrive by rail. At the same time, there has been a proposal for a coal shipping terminal at Cherry Point. The protesters also cited safety concerns. Last year, a train carrying oil from North Dakota derailed in Lac-Megantic, Quebec. Several cars exploded and 40 buildings were leveled.

LAKE STEVENS — The city is seeking volunteers to help decide how much their mayor and City Council members should be paid. A new five-person commission is being formed to set salaries for Lake Stevens’ elected officials. Applications are available and due by the end of the month. Commissioners will be appointed by the mayor and approved by the council. The city has five other volunteer boards and commissions, all of which follow the same application, appointment and approval process, said Steve Edin, the city’s human resources director. “It’s a good public process and a good chance for people to get involved,” he said. Salaries for the mayor and City Council have not been reviewed or changed since 2002, Edin said. Mayor Vern Little makes $1,200 a month. The seven council members make $300 a month plus $50 per meeting, capped at four meetings a month. The city budgeted $56,400 per year in 2013 and 2014 for the mayor’s and council’s salaries. Lake Stevens, home to nearly 30,000 people, modeled its salary commission after other cities, including Everett and Marysville. Marysville’s seven-member salary commission has been in place since 2003, human resources director Kristie Guy said. The city of 63,000 pays its mayor $10,246 per month and council members $950 per month, plus $50 per meeting for up to 10 meetings a month. In Everett, the county’s largest city with more than 105,000 people, the salary commission set the mayor’s pay at $13,249.06 per month for 2014. Council members make $2,247.04 per month. To serve on the salary commission, a volunteer must be a U.S. citizen who has lived in the city for at least a year. Applicants cannot be a city employee or official, or an immediate relative of a city employee or official. Applications are available at Lake Stevens City Hall, 1812 Main St., or online at www.ci.lakestevens.wa.us.

One of their first challenges — and maybe one of the reasons Werrell and Delany are on board — is to shore up Celis’ credibility among conservative Republicans who view Celis as too moderate and a tool of the party establishment. Celis made it through the primary on the strength of support from voters in King and Whatcom counties. He finished fourth in Snohomish and Skagit counties, meaning that he was the third-favorite Republican in those counties. Werrell and Delany intend to rework the

playbook, recasting Celis as a candidate focused on trimming the federal deficit, rewriting the federal health care law and tying DelBene to the policies of President Barack Obama. “Suzan DelBene represents the status quo,” Delany said. “Pedro is an innovator, a breath of fresh air.”

Listening to Watergate A new book by John Dean digs deeper into the machinations that felled an American president 40 years ago and left an imprint on the practice of politics today. Dean traces the political

scandal from the Watergate office-building break-in to Richard M. Nixon’s resignation with the aid of 600 secretly recorded conversations that previously had only been listened to by those at the National Archives. Dean got them transcribed for “The Nixon Defense: What He Knew and When He Knew It,” arguably the most complete narrative. It tells how a smart, savvy man with a proven history of political resilience let a bungled burglary destroy his presidency. “People in Washington (D.C.) throw Watergate around and really don’t have a clue about it,” Dean

said in a phone interview. He was the White House lawyer whose Senate testimony helped force out Nixon. “This will tell them,” Dean said. “It fills the gaps. To me, there is no unanswered question about Watergate.” For some there is still one gap — who was responsible for erasing 18 1/2 minutes of conversation between Nixon and his chief of staff, H.R. “Bob” Haldeman, three days after the break-in. Dean offers a short list of suspects. But at this point it doesn’t seem necessary because the subject matter is crystal clear, given all the conversations those two

would have in the ensuing months. “I have concluded that, in the end, while there is no absolute proof about who did it, there really is no mystery at all about what was erased,” Dean writes in the book. “And then who did it is not as important as what was erased.” Dean’s hands aren’t clean, and in May 1973 he informed Nixon of cascading events which threatened to envelop the president in a political crisis. His reward? Nixon began trying to lay the blame on Dean and use his counsel as a shield against the unceasing bombardment of

revelations that eventually collapsed his presidency. Dean knew Nixon’s motives then and had them reconfirmed by what he heard on the additional tapes. There’s no anger. “Not at all,” he said. “I know how the story ended. I just let the tapes tell the tale.” John Dean will discuss his book Sept. 10 at 7 p.m. at the University Book Store in Seattle.

Ad campaign begins for Carjacking suspects sought expanded gun checks Herald staff

OLYMPIA — A campaign that supports universal background checks for gun sales will start running TV ads this week, a spokesman said Wednesday. Washington Alliance for Gun Responsibility spokesman Geoff Potter told The Associated Press that that the 30-second ad in support of Initiative 594 would run on Seattle broadcast channels starting Thursday. While Potter wouldn’t cite the exact price, he said that “hundreds of thousands” of dollars were spent on the campaign’s first ad. Featured in the TV ad is Don Pierce, a former

Bellingham police chief and the former executive director of the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs. In the ad, Pierce says that the ability to buy a gun online or at a gun show without a background check is a “dangerous loophole.” I-594 is seeking to expand checks that would include sales from gun shows and private transactions like transfers, including most gifts and loans. It has exemptions for the background-check requirement, including gifts within family members, temporary transfers between spouses, and the sale or transfer of

antique guns. A rival campaign, Initiative 591, would prevent any such expansion from occurring, prohibiting government agencies from conducting any checks beyond the national standard, which requires the checks for sales or transfers by licensed dealers but not for purchases from private sellers. It would also prohibit confiscation of firearms without due process. That campaign started its own ads earlier this week, in which it cited support from law enforcement groups. Supporters of the I-594 measure have raised more than $7 million. I-591 has raised about $1.1 million.

reach a decision. The county’s plan for Smith Island, between Everett and Marysville, is to flood about 350 acres of agricultural land to create salmon habitat. It faces strong opposition from farmers and equally strong backing from conservationists and the Tulalip Tribes. The proposed agreement addresses concerns about the effect dike removal could have on Dagmars Marina, Hima Nursery,

Buse Timber and the diking district that seeks to protect the businesses’ land. Worries include construction traffic at Dagmars, saltwater infiltration affecting soils at Hima and added sediment in a slough the mill uses to transport logs. The agreement would cost the county about $400,000 over five years. It would settle four of five pending appeals at the state’s Shoreline Hearings Board.

MONROE — Police are investigating a carjacking in Monroe on Tuesday night. The victim, a 31-year-old Marysville woman, had given a ride to a man and a woman she met in a fastfood parking lot off U.S. 2. When she got to White Mountain Road SE, the pair pulled a gun on her and took the car, a silver 2008 Nissan Altima. That was

about 8:15 p.m. Police don’t believe it was a random attack, department spokeswoman Debbie Willis said Wednesday. The suspects may know the owner of the vehicle, who was not present at the time. At 8:45 p.m, Monroe police were called to Westwick Road, where the stolen Nissan was parked. The suspects were nowhere in sight.

Ebola epidemic worst ever New American missionary doctor with the disease is reportedly in good spirits.

More people have now died in this epidemic than in all previous Ebola outbreaks combined. “No one, even outbreak responders, (has) ever seen anything like it,” said WHO’s director-general Margaret Chan. She called the Ebola epidemic “the largest, and most severe, and most complex we have ever seen in the nearly

40-year history of this disease.” Meanwhile, Rick Sacra, the American missionary doctor who tested positive for Ebola on Monday in Liberia, is in good spirits and talking on the telephone and emailing with his wife in Boston regularly, SIM USA officials said Wednesday. But they cautioned that the disease is unpredictable. “It’s very much up and down. You may feel good one day and the next day feel horrible,” said Bruce Johnson, president of the global missionary group. SIM officials said they could not offer a prognosis. Sacra, the medical director of the organization’s ELWA Hospital in Monrovia, decided to return to Liberia after another missionary doctor and another volunteer became ill with Ebola, Johnson said. Sacra had

been working in the hospital for about a month, most recently caring for obstetrics patients. Johnson said the organization is “exploring all opportunities and options,” including a possible return to the United States. Sacra, 51, developed a fever Friday that lasted through the weekend, Johnson said. Sacra isolated himself, and on Monday, after testing positive for Ebola, the doctor moved himself into the hospital’s isolation unit, which is separate from the main building. He is being cared for by the hospital’s doctors and nurses, many of whom he trained, Johnson said. Johnson said that he had spoken with Sacra’s wife, Debbie, and that she was “holding up very well.” He added, “They knew the risks going in, and

they also knew the protocols that were in place, and Rick was following those.” They were aware that he could contract Ebola, Johnson said. Sacra is a longtime doctor with the organization. The couple joined in the late 1980s and have served in Liberia, where Sacra was country director. The doctor is the fourth American to be diagnosed with the hemorrhagic disease that has killed more than half the people who have become infected during this epidemic. Another doctor, Kent Brantly, and a missionary volunteer, Nancy Writebol, who also were working at ELWA Hospital, were treated with an experimental medication and brought back to Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, where they recovered.

Obama: U.S. to destroy ISIL McClatchy Newspapers CARDIFF, Wales — President Barack Obama on Wednesday vowed to destroy the Islamic State, staking out a more aggressive stand than ever before. Skeptics, however, suggested he still doesn’t have a clear strategy on combating the militant group, and Obama himself appeared to narrow the commitment later. “The bottom line is this: Our objective is clear, and that is to degrade and destroy ISIL so that it’s no longer a threat, not just to Iraq but also the region and to the United States,” Obama said, using the U.S. government’s acronym for the Islamic State, which has released videos of two Americans being beheaded. “It’s not only that we’re going to be bringing to justice those who perpetrated this terrible crime against these two fine young men,” he said. “The United States will continue to lead a regional and international effort against the kind of barbaric and ultimately empty vision that ISIL represents.” And he started to ready the American people for a longterm commitment. “That’s going to take some time, but we’re going to get it done,” he declared in Tallinn, Estonia, ahead of a two-day NATO conference in Cardiff that is expected to be dominated by the extremist threat and by fears over Russia’s intervention in Ukraine. The bold statements marked an escalation of the president’s commitment, coming after his administration previously said its airstrikes in Iraq are aimed at aiding humanitarian efforts and protecting U.S. diplomatic and military personnel. The remarks also appeared designed to counter Obama’s own statement last week that he did not have a strategy for combating the Islamic State in

Which diet is the best for you? Whichever one you can stick with, according to a new meta-analysis of 48 different trials involving nearly 7,300 overweight and obese adults. The findings, described in the Journal of the American Medical Association, or JAMA, show that there’s relatively little difference in the effectiveness of various low-fat or low-carb diets, including the branded ones, from Atkins to Zone. “Our findings should be reassuring to clinicians and the public that there is no need for a one-size-fits-all approach to dieting because many different diets appear to offer considerable weight loss benefits,” the

Texas abortion clinic to reopen after ruling AUSTIN, Texas — Women in South Texas facing a 200-mile drive for access to legal abortions learned Wednesday that a clinic shuttered by a sweeping anti-abortion law would reopen, marking the first tangible effect of a court ruling last week that blocked key parts of the state law. Whole Woman’s Health clinic in McAllen, a city near the Mexico border, closed in March after its doctors said they couldn’t obtain admitting privileges at nearby hospitals as the state now requires. But a federal judge ruled Friday that the law created unconstitutional barriers to abortions in South Texas, and the clinic is now set to reopen later this week, a clinic executive said.

New York: Birds hit planes The Federal Aviation Administration said three bird strikes were reported in a four-hour period at LaGuardia Airport. No one was injured. The FAA said two of the arriving planes Wednesday belonged to ExpressJet Airlines. One was turning to land at around 7:15 a.m. when a bird apparently hit its nose gear. The other was taxiing to a ramp at around 9 a.m. when it reported a strike. At around 11:15 a.m., an incoming Air Canada flight landed safely after reporting a bird strike 12 miles northeast of LaGuardia. Birds have been a longstanding problem around LaGuardia.

WWII remains recovered The remains of a soldier missing in action since World War II have been identified and will be buried with full military honors in Arlington National Cemetery, a Department of Defense office said Wednesday. Army Pfc. Bernard Gavrin, who was from Brooklyn, was 29 when he was reported missing on July 7, 1944, the Prisoner of War/ Missing Personnel Office said. His regiment had been in Saipan in the Northern Mariana Islands of the western Pacific Ocean and came under heavy attack, suffering many casualties. Gavrin was declared dead in July 1945.

Colorado: Transit DUI

U.S. President Barack Obama speaks in Tallinn, Estonia, on Wednesday.

Syria. His comments came a day after Obama authorized an additional 350 U.S. personnel to fulfill a State Department request to protect diplomatic facilities and personnel in Baghdad. The White House said the additional forces will not serve in a combat role and will allow some previously deployed military personnel to leave Iraq. Most of the new troops would be used to bolster security at the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, with a small number reinforcing the U.S. Consulate in Irbil, the capital of the Kurdish region in northern Iraq, according to the Pentagon. The new troops would bring the total number of U.S. forces in Iraq to 1,210, according to Pentagon officials. A total of 290 troops are performing other functions in Iraq, with 176 at new Iraqi-U.S. Joint Operating Centers in Baghdad and Irbil. Eighty-nine troops

are advising Iraqi commanders and 25 are performing command-and-control functions for the other American forces. Yet if Obama were working to signal a more muscular approach, he appeared to narrow his remarks later in the same news conference, saying the U.S. objective is to ensure the Islamic State is not an ongoing threat to the region. “We know that if we are joined by the international community, we can continue to shrink ISIL’s sphere of influence, its effectiveness, its financing, its military capabilities to the point where it is a manageable problem,” Obama said. The White House assurances did not assuage Obama’s critics, and even some Democrats said they want more. Sen. Mark R. Warner, D-Va., called on the White House to present to Congress “a clear strategy and political and military options for eliminating the

ISIL threat.” Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on Near Eastern, South and Central Asian Affairs and a former chairman of the Democratic National Committee, also signaled he didn’t want to wait. “This administration should come to Congress with clear objectives and scope of mission to combat the ISIL threat,” he said Wednesday. “And Congress should immediately debate an authorization to use military force.” Obama offered “the prayers of the American people” to the family of Steven Sotloff, the second American freelance journalist to be beheaded by the group. He said the beheadings “only unite us as a country and stiffen our resolve to take the fight against these terrorists.” The U.S. as of Monday had launched 124 airstrikes against Islamic State targets in Iraq.

Pick any diet that you can stick with Los Angeles Times

ACROSS THE U.S.

study authors wrote. Diet fads come and go, each claiming to tap into some secret advantage that previous weight-loss strategies did not. But it’s difficult to tell which diets are actually most effective — and that’s crucial information for overweight or obese individuals looking to successfully shed pounds by changing what they eat. To provide some data-driven answers, a team led by Bradley Johnston of the Hospital for Sick Children Research Institute in Toronto examined 59 papers involving 48 randomized trials and sized up the examined diets’ average weight loss. Low-carbohydrate diets edged out the low-fat diets

(echoing an Annals of Internal Medicine study released Monday). Low-carb diets were linked to 19.25 pounds of lost weight at 6 months, and 15.98 pounds at 12 months. The low-fat diets were close behind, with 17.61 pounds lost in the first half-year and 16.03 pounds at the one-year mark. Among individual, brandname diets, the weight loss differences “were minimal,” the study authors wrote. For example, the Atkins diet nosed past the Zone diet at six months with just 3.77 pounds more weight lost. “This supports the practice of recommending any diet that a patient will adhere to in order to lose weight,” the study authors wrote. In other words:

Pick the one that’s easiest to stick with over the long haul. Linda Van Horn of Northwestern University in Chicago, who was not involved in the paper, praised the study in a commentary. She noted that a healthful diet is ultimately about more than just macronutrients such as carbohydrates, fats and proteins. Choosing the right foods with the right micronutrients — such as calcium, iron or folic acid — is key. “Choosing the best diet suited to an individual’s food preferences may help foster adherence, but beyond weight loss, diet quality including micronutrient composition may further benefit longevity,” Van Horn wrote.

A bus driver for the Denver-area transit system has been arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence while on duty. Darren Pettee, 49, was arrested Monday after a passenger on his bus called transit officials and said Pettee ran a stop sign and was driving recklessly. Pettee was in jail Tuesday. Pettee has been driving for the Regional Transportation District for seven weeks. He is scheduled to appear in court Friday.

AROUND THE WORLD Israel: War crimes charges A rights organization filed a war crimes complaint against the top leader of the Islamic militant group Hamas at the International Criminal Court on Wednesday for executing Palestinians without trial during the Gaza war this summer. The Shurat HaDin Law Center filed the war crimes complaint against Khaled Mashaal, who leads Gaza’s ruling Hamas group from exile. According to the complaint, Mashaal “had knowledge of the executions, oversees Hamas’ governance of Gaza, and actively encourages and supports the executions.”

Links to Israel were withheld Steven Sotloff, the American journalist beheaded by the Islamic State, held Israeli citizenship and had strong connections to the country, an Israeli official and acquaintances said Wednesday. Sotloff studied at an Israeli college, wrote for an Israeli news magazine and visited the country less than a month before he was abducted in Syria, the acquaintances said. His ties to Israel were kept under wraps during the year after he was seized, particularly after it emerged last month that he was being held by militants from the Islamic State.

France: Warship on hold Officials said Wednesday that they will not deliver the first Mistral-class amphibious warship that Russia had ordered from Paris as part of a $1.7 billion weapons sale, a strong rebuke after months of aggressive actions by Russia in Ukraine. French officials said they assess the situation in Ukraine to be “serious” and think Russia’s actions undermine security in Europe. The statement did not say whether France will deliver the ship in the future, but said the conditions for it to do so at this time “have so far not been met.” From Herald news services

Banks face new liquidity rules Associated Press WASHINGTON — Federal regulators are requiring big banks to keep enough high-quality assets on hand to survive during a severe downturn, the latest move under congressional mandate to lessen the likelihood of another financial meltdown. The Federal Reserve adopted rules on a 5-0 vote Wednesday that will subject big U.S. banks for the first time to so-called “liquidity” requirements. Liquidity is the ability to access cash quickly. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and the Treasury Department’s Office of the Comptroller of the Currency adopted the rules later in the day. Comptroller Thomas Curry, who also is a member of the FDIC board, said the new requirements “will help ensure that a banking organization’s cash resources,

and not taxpayers’ money, will provide the support necessary for it to withstand short-term funding stress.” At a meeting of the Fed governors, Chair Janet Yellen called the rules a “very important regulation that will serve to strengthen the resilience of internationally active banking firms.” The 15 largest banks — those with more than $250 billion in assets — will have to hold enough cash, government bonds and other high-quality assets to fund operations for 30 days during a time of market stress. Smaller banks — those with more than $50 billion but less than $250 billion in assets — will have to keep enough to cover 21 days. Banks with less than $50 billion in assets and nonbank financial firms deemed by regulators as posing a potential threat to the system will not be subject to the

requirements. Separately, regulators also are proposing to give banks leeway in requiring collateral from companies that use derivatives to guard against price swings. The liquidity rules for banks will begin to take effect in January, and the requirements will be phased in over two years. Fed officials say the rules are stronger than new international standards for banks. Combined, the largest banks will have to hold an estimated $2.5 trillion in high-quality assets to meet the requirements. The banks already hold all but about $100 billion of that amount, according to the Fed. Banks have sharply improved their cash-ready holdings in the past few years, and about 70 percent now meet the full requirement, the Fed estimates. The requirements were called

for by Congress in the sweeping overhaul law responding to the 2008 financial crisis. They are part of new regulations intended to prevent another collapse severe enough to require taxpayerfunded bailouts and threaten the broader financial system. Hundreds of U.S. banks received federal bailouts during the crisis. Among them were the largest financial firms, including JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, Bank of America and Wells Fargo. The banking industry has been recovering steadily since then, with overall profits rising and banks now lending more freely. Lending in the April-June quarter marked its fastest pace since the fourth quarter of 2007, about a year before the financial crisis struck, according to new data from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.

Vehicle sales surge Industry sales were expected to reach a rate not seen since the frothy days of last decade’s housing bubble. Detroit Free Press U.S consumers continued buying new cars and trucks at a torrid pace in August as easy credit and a wave of new products fueled showroom traffic, likely driving the industry’s annualized rate above 17 million — the fastest pace since 2006. With most automakers having reported, industry sales were expected to reach an annual rate of 17 million vehicles, a rate not seen since the frothy days of last decade’s housing bubble. “We had an early Labor Day weekend that fell into the end of August and it really pumped up the sales for the month,” said John Felice, Ford’s president of U.S. sales and marketing Automakers are bumping up sales with incentives that were about $300 more, on average, per vehicle than they were last August, according to Kelley Blue Book. Still, new cars and trucks are now selling for $32,495 — about $851 more than the average sale price last August — reflecting the strength of higher priced pickup trucks, large SUVs and luxury cars. “We are seeing a lot of promotions,” said Michele Krebs, an

There’s a quiet, and lightly caffeinated, trend brewing in America. The U.S. market for tea has more than quadrupled during the past twenty-plus years — from just under $2 billion in 1990 to just over $10 billion last year — according to the U.S. Tea Association. Demand for the herbal beverage has now been growing at a healthy clip for decades. By weight, Americans now drink almost 20 percent more of the herbal beverage than they did back in 2000, according to market research firm Euromonitor. As a result, tea imports, to the

Costco to pay for leaks in refrigeration Costco Wholesale agreed to a $335,000 fine and to an overhaul in its management of refrigeration equipment in more than half of its U.S. stores in a settlement with U.S. authorities over alleged Clean Air Act violations. The Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Justice contend that between 2004 and 2007 Costco violated federal laws by failing to repair leaks of a refrigerant that causes ozone depletion and creates powerful greenhouse gasses. The company also didn’t keep proper records of servicing for its refrigeration equipment as required by law, said the agencies, which announced the settlement Wednesday.

USDA will purchase surplus of salmon The U.S. Department of Agriculture has agreed to buy up to $13 million in canned pink salmon to ease a glut that has weighed down prices for Alaska fishermen. In July, Gov. Sean Parnell asked USDA to buy $37 million worth of canned salmon under a federal law that allows for buying surplus food from farmers and donating it to food banks or other programs. This came on the heels of the agency earlier in the year purchasing $20 million worth of canned salmon. U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski said she wasn’t focused on a specific dollar amount as much as wanting the government to consider using existing funds to take excess salmon off warehouse shelves and provide a nutritious food to Americans in need.

benefit of major tea producing nations like China and India, are soaring — they have grown by roughly 40 percent over the past 10 years, nearly 70 percent over the past 20 years, and more than 700 percent over the last 50 years, according to data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Tea has infiltrated most Americans’ everyday routine. Some 80 percent of U.S. households have tea in their kitchens, and more than half of the American populace drinks tea on a daily basis, according to the U.S. Tea Association. There are, however, some quirks to the country’s growing love for tea.

According to the Smith Travel Research report for July 2014, Snohomish County finished the month of July up over 2013 in all three measurements: Occupancy; Average Daily Rate; and Revenue Per Available Room. Overall demand was up 10.8 percent as compared to the same month last year and revenue saw a 22.6

Americans are, for instance, much fonder of iced tea than they are of hot tea — more than 85 percent of tea consumed in the U.S. is chilled. They’re also partial to ready-to-drink tea bags, which make up the vast majority of tea consumed in the U.S. And Americans appear willing to spend a bit extra on fancier (and pricier) tea bags — dollar sales growth has been outpacing volume sales growth for years. America’s favorite kind is black tea, which accounts for more than half of all tea consumed in the country. Fruit and herbal tea, which accounts for just over a quarter of U.S. tea consumption, is second on the list. But neither

The cost of feeding horses and cows in California is climbing as the drought sends hay prices to historic highs, a newspaper reported. Less rain has reduced the acres of oats, barley and wheat being planted, which has fueled a sharp jump in hay prices. West Santa Rosa dairyman Doug Beretta said he recently sold 40 milk cows to a dairy in Idaho to offset the rising cost of hay. When grazing land is available, he needs about $10,000 worth of hay every 20 days for his milk cows. When it’s not, he goes through a load every 10 days at a cost of about $30,000 a month. “It cuts into your profitability,” he said.

Pickup tailgates see rash of thefts The insurance industry is warning pickup drivers to watch their backs. Tailgate theft is surging. Tailgates have a rough life. They get rearended, backed into objects and dented by shifting cargo. That’s why thieves find a ready market for replacements, selling them on eBay and Craigslist. They are even valuable as scrap metal. Tailgates are being stolen from private vehicles, commercial vehicles and even vehicles parked on dealership lots, the National Insurance Crime Bureau said. Overall, the number of tailgates stolen jumped 31 percent from 2012 to last year, the bureau reported. From Herald news services

THE DAY ON WALL STREET The relief that greeted reports of a possible cease fire in Ukraine faded on Wall Street, as a slide in Apple and other technology stocks tugged the U.S. stock market to a small loss Wednesday. News that that Russia and Ukraine were working on a cease-fire agreement rippled through markets early, lifting stocks in Europe and pushing up oil prices. In the U.S., the stock market headed higher at the start of trading then sagged in the afternoon. One reason was Apple, the market’s top heavyweight. The tech giant’s stock slumped $4.36, or 4 percent, to $98.94. — Associated Press

House weighs short-term Export-Import Bank plan Bloomberg News WASHINGTON — House Republican leaders are considering a shortterm extension of the 80-year-old U.S. ExportImport Bank that is set to expire this month, a party aide said. An extension of several months is being discussed, said the Republican aide, who asked not to be

identified because no plans have been made public. The Export-Import Bank provides loan guarantees, loans and insurance to help foreign companies buy U.S. goods. The agency has become the target of some Republicans, including House Financial Services Committee Chairman Jeb Hensarling of Texas, who have called for abolishing

it and relying on the private sector to fill the role. Debate on the reauthorization begins next week when Congress returns from a five-week recess. Without a reauthorization, the agency would be unable to authorize new loans though it still could manage existing loans and contracts. A short-term extension would push the debate until after the November congressional election while leaving businesses with uncertainty. “Business people don’t work six weeks at a time,” Export-Import Bank President Fred Hochberg said. “I understand Congress, but that’s not the real world of business. That’s not the world of profits and loss, sales and employment. That’s legislative language.” Staff members for Hensarling and House Speaker John Boehner, an Ohio Republican, said

6 percent decline in fleet sales 6 percent. Ford brand sales edged up 0.4 percent while Lincoln was down 0.6 percent. “Both Fusion and Escape set records in August, each continuing on a strong pace toward 2014 being a best-ever sales year,” Felice said. “It also was another solid month for F-Series, which again topped 60,000 sales and maintained its lead as the best-selling pickup in the U.S.” But F-Series sales were down 4.2 percent from a year ago as dealers sold off remaining 2014 models in anticipation of the

Wednesday that no agreement has been reached. “Chairman Hensarling is continuing to discuss the issue with members and is opposed to reauthorizing Ex-Im because Washington shouldn’t pick winners and losers,” said David Popp, a Financial Services Committee spokesman. Hensarling has called Ex-Im “crony capitalism” for its frequent business with Boeing. The Dallasarea congressman, 57, has long pushed a free-market agenda that has put him at odds with House Republican leaders on issues including federal insurance against floods and terrorism. Michael Steel, a spokesman for Boehner, said discussions are continuing. Gary Mendell, president of Meridian Finance Group, an equipment manufacturer that uses Ex-Im, said small-government

advocates appear to be focusing on the agency as Republican leaders try to avoid a repeat of last year’s partial U.S. government shutdown. “I’m not in someone like Hensarling’s shoes so I hate to point a finger, whether it’s him or other people involved in opposition, but it sure feels like the bully in the playground who couldn’t beat up any of the bigger kids now going after kind of a small kid,” Mendell said. Boehner hasn’t said how he’ll vote on an Ex-Im reauthorization. House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, a California Republican who took over the position July 31, had said in June that he wanted to let the bank’s charter lapse. Hochberg said he is “optimistic” that Congress will reach a deal to reauthorize the agency. He said

the agency isn’t yet working on a contingency plan for the possibility that it won’t be reauthorized. “I understand there’s a headwind,” Hochberg said. Still, he added, “We enjoy bipartisan support in the Senate. House members are independent from Senate members but there is some relationship going on and I think we’ve seen a number of members moving over and moderating some.” The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the National Association of Manufacturers are among the groups urging passage of a reauthorization. “This has been all hands on deck,” said Chris Wenk, senior director of international policy for the Chamber of Commerce. “The chamber and the business coalition has been very active in members’ districts across the country.”

2015 aluminum-bodied replacement coming later this year. Ford executives describe it as a tale of three industries: full-size trucks are strong in both demand and pricing; crossovers, especially small ones, are a growth segment that shows no signs of slowing; but cars, especially the highvolume mid-size segment, have seen sales go flat and prices start to deteriorate, Felice said. Pricing on cars was flat in August amid signs of deterioration for a segment “trying to hold its head above water.” But the average transaction price for crossovers is $1,000 higher than a year ago and pickups are $2,800 higher for the industry, said Erich Merkle, Ford’s U.S. sales

analyst. Ford incentives overall are up $250 from last year but down $30 from July. The average Ford vehicle sells for $31,000, or $1,000 more than the industry average. Ford said its average sales price is down $450 from a year ago and down $120 from July, largely because the automaker is selling off its 2014 F-Series pickups and its mix of higher priced trucks to cars is not as rich as a year ago. When the new 2015 model goes on sale at the end of the year the mix will be skewed to high-end models again. Even though total industry sales are expected to maintain their strongest pace since the Great Recession there is some evidence

is showing that the rate of monthly increases has plateaued. The August results will be compared to a very strong year ago month a year ago so don’t expect a huge increase. “We continue to believe that the pace of sales for the industry has likely plateaued, leading to increased jostling for (market) share,” said Brian Johnson, automotive analyst for Barclays. Automakers, banks and other lenders are making more longer loans — as long as 7 or 8 years — to people with low credit scores. The industry is producing more. While the average price of a car keeps rising, some customers are demanding and getting substantial discounts.

IN OUR VIEW | Hunter and Wyatt Ruthven

Finding meaning in tragedy Memory is kinetic. Experience crossed with place and a memory — hitched to a name — binds itself. And it lives. At the Northwest Children’s School in Smokey Point, a renovated playground was dedicated to the memory of Hunter and Wyatt Ruthven, brothers ages 6 and 4, respectively. They died in the March 22 Oso mudslide, along with their parents and two of their grandparents. As The Herald’s Scott North reports, this is where the brothers attended preschool. They clomped around, they played on the sidewall of a giant truck tire, they made friends. Children who never knew the Ruthven boys will recall the playground and equate

it with joy. The boys’ grandmother, Karen Pszonka, said, “Seeing all these kids playing, it is like, ‘Wow!’” Memory is the present moment. Karen and her husband, Tom, a retired Snohomish County sheriff’s sergeant, embraced the idea of a memorial playground. Donations flowed, with $12,943 in costs underwritten by the United Way of Snohomish County’s Oso slide relief fund. As North writes, United Way also set aside $5,000 for a University of Washington scholarship in memory of the boys’ mother, Katie Ruthven. It will benefit students from Mill Creek and Arlington, where Katie was raised and oversaw

a business with her husband, Shane. Memory sits at the intersection of experience and a name: Scholarship recipients will never meet Katie Ruthven. But they likely will meet Katie’s parents and those who loved her. As they navigate their own paths in school and life, there will be a thread that stitches them to a person who was loved enough to be memorialized by a scholarship, by giving back. A person isn’t dead while his or her name is still spoken. A speaker expressed this belief at a 2012 memorial event at the Snohomish County Courthouse for Brisenia Flores, a 9-year old Arizona girl who had never set foot

the horrific beheading of a second American journalist in two weeks at the hands of the devils called Islamic State extremists. This is a critical local story as well as a national, thus deserves front page coverage. The devils are increasing and plan to kill as many Americans as they can. Be alarmed? We had better be, and must put pressure on Obama and Congress to take immediate action against evil or it will (and is) spread like a cancer uncontrolled. To think we citizens even need to push Obama into doing his duty to this country’s citizens! His hesitation and lack of depth regarding wiping these maggots out is a disgrace. A shallow, self-serving, “empty suit” for sure.

in the Pacific Northwest. Flores was murdered along with her dad during a home invasion orchestrated by an Everett woman and two others (whose names bear forgetting), adherents of antiimmigrant terrorism. Brisenia Flores’ name is still spoken. “Man cannot endure his own littleness unless he can translate it into meaningfulness on the largest possible level,” Ernest Becker wrote in “The Denial of Death.” Becker was just partly right. Even the small things, the things that give expression to the interrupted lives of young people, embroider the world with meaning. And life attaches to memory.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■GUN INITIATIVES

Political column is purely opinion The Herald’s local news section on Aug. 28 carried Jerry Cornfield’s political column, “NRA has decision to make about gun control initiative.” The column should run on the Opinion page as one man’s opinion. The writer gave lots of “facts” about the so-called state’s super wealthy social changers. What? His call for NRA involvement to balance the playing field should not be part of the story because the NRA is not involved, yet. Money does influence election outcomes, but anyone paying attention should not let money determine what should be a very simple choice. It is not difficult to make your ballot yes or no and basing it on your conscience and not some slick political ad that might not represent the initiative at all. If there is indeed an education campaign called “Background checks do make a difference,” I have not seen or heard one ad or radio or TV and if someone wants to spend their money on the subject matter to feel good, so what? It was nice of the writer to mention a conservative talking point about the Center for Gun Responsibility, to keep secret the source of its money, while at the same time the conservatives want to do the same. The word “hypocrite” comes to mind. One can only hope that the

GUEST COMMENTARY | Smith Island Restoration Project

Restore fish streams; don’t flood area By Dan Bartelheimer

have been farming within Snohomish County for over 40 years. My grandparents started farming in the county over 100 years ago. Snohomish County is proposing a “restoration” project on Smith Island, which is located north of Everett on the east side of I-5. The project will remove and relocate a section of dike and destroy 400 acres of agriculture land by subjecting it to tidal salt water flooding. \The intent is to create habitat that will benefit fish. The soils on Smith Island have been identified by the USDA, Soil Conservation Service, as “Puget” — a silty clay loam. This is a very desirable, productive soil. The Smith Island restoration project is very similar to the Drainage District 6 project in the Fobes Hill area. That project allowed tidal and flood waters to inundate the ag land with the intention of providing fish habitat and increasing the fish population. The DD6 restoration project has been

a dismal disaster. Cost overruns were tenfold. The newly formed warm ponded waters did not create any fish habitat. No resolution has been brought forward to fix or make this $7 million project effective. There has been no accountability. Why doesn’t the county make the necessary improvements to make this project effective before spending nearly $20 million on a similar project on Smith Island? Thousands spent on fish stream restoration projects will produce more fish than the millions to be spent on the proposed Smith Island project. The county needs to review its approach to fish, agriculture and the infrastructure. There are ways to enhance fish numbers and habitat without destroying ag land and eliminating infrastructure. Smith Island is protected with a dike and a number of tide gates. New tide gates could be installed that would allow fish passage. This alternative would leave the island in ag and provide comparable fish habitat at less than 5 percent of the cost of the proposed project.

I’d like to close with a situation that happened several years ago. Floodwaters had deposited debris in a fish stream and as a result, the water and fish could no longer continue down the creek to the river. Virtually all of the water breached the stream bank and flowed into the adjacent ag fields. Everyone was prevented from correcting the situation. Several years later, I asked an agent from Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife why the situation should not be corrected. His response was, “that is nature’s way.” My next question was “But there may have been some endangered fish species that were being lost.” The answer was, “Dan, your missing the whole point, our (WDFW) only concern is that at least two fish make it back up that stream each year.” How do you respond to this line of reasoning? The proposed Smith Island restoration project needs to be reconsidered. Dan Bartelheimer of Snohomish is Vice President of the Snohomish County Farm Bureau.

Time to confirm the ambassadors

ASHINGTON — Talk about America’s decline is usually wrong. But how else would you describe a country that, in a world of exploding tensions, is unable to confirm dozens of ambassadors to foreign posts because of partisan political squabbling? Even by Washington standards, the Senate Republicans have hit a new low for hypocrisy. They denounce President Obama’s inaction on foreign policy — and simultaneously refuse to confirm his nominees for U.S. ambassadors to such hotspots as Turkey, on the front lines against the Islamic State, and Sierra Leone, epicenter of the Ebola outbreak. Let’s say it plainly: This is how nations lose their power and influence, when they are unable to agree even on basic matters such as diplomatic representation. The decisionmaking system breaks down, and the public is too bored or disunited to take action. Sadly, that’s a snapshot of America in 2014. The State Department says it has 65 nominees awaiting confirmation. A few are ill-prepared political appointees who bungled their confirmation hearings and, frankly, should be withdrawn. But 40 are career diplomats with distinguished careers whose DAVID IGNATIUS only misstep was to get caught in the Washington morass of partisan politics. The average wait time for nominees who managed to clear the Foreign Relations Committee and the Senate floor is 237 days. Here’s a map of America’s dysfunction: Eleven of our empty embassies are in Africa, where disease and terrorism are spreading, and countries are desperate for American leadership. Nine are in Eastern Europe, where Russian President Vladimir Putin is on the march. Six are in East Asia, where China is flexing its muscles. Worried about the Middle East? Sorry, but we lack ambassadors to the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, in addition to Turkey. The State Department’s Foreign Service doesn’t even have a director-general. Arnold Chacon, a distinguished career diplomat, has been waiting 326 days for confirmation. John Estrada, a decorated former sergeant major of the Marine Corps who was born in Trinidad and Tobago, has waited 394 days to be confirmed as ambassador there. The Senate hasn’t confirmed assistant secretaries of state to oversee the United Nations, or arms control negotiations, or global energy affairs. Consider the case of Guatemala: Senators give windy speeches about stopping that country’s migration of undocumented children. Yet for 86 days, they have stalled the nomination for a new ambassador to Guatemala, who could deliver the message in person. Sometimes in Washington, you can say that the problem is everyone’s fault, or nobody’s fault. But that isn’t the case here. This one belongs to the Senate Republican leadership. Apparently, they want to make the Democrats pay a price for removing the filibuster power. Republicans on the Foreign Relations Committee, including Sen. Robert Corker, the ranking member, are said to favor a deal that could break the logjam. But no: It’s payback time. Nobody seems to have told the Republican leaders that the price is being paid by the United States in lost representation. Ambassadors matter, even in the age of Twitter. They can open the door at a key ministry, or introduce a prominent business official. The State Department estimates that this year, U.S. businesses have sought embassy help in $119 billion in contracts in countries where we have no ambassador (a list that includes France, Ireland, Norway and Finland.) The Obama administration is all but pleading for action. Officials have signaled they would support a plan to allow the 40 career diplomats to be confirmed as a group, the way military promotions are, and save the partisan rancor for the political appointees. No deal, so far. A wise move for the administration would be to pull back political nominations that were mistakes. Find a replacement for the fundraiser who was nominated to be ambassador to Oslo, for example, who described one of Norway’s ruling parties as extremist. Withdraw the nomination of the moneybundler pegged for Argentina, a country he said he had never visited and whose language he barely speaks. Ask the soap opera producer waiting for a star turn in Budapest to find another way to serve her country. Once the list is pared to nominees who are clearly qualified to represent America, this issue should be a no-brainer. The world is a mess these days, and nations need a diplomatic connection to a United States that values and respects them. Yet when the world looks to Washington, what do they see? A capital in decay, whose embittered politicians can’t even agree on ambassadors.

Health care spending Court: Timing unknown is rising more slowly From Page A1

Tribune Newspapers WASHINGTON — National spending on health care will continue to surge in coming years, but at a slower rate than the previous two decades, according to new government analysis of the nation’s $3 trillion health care tab. The report suggests that changes under way in medical care and insurance coverage may help rein in America’s notoriously high-cost system, even at a time when millions of Americans gain insurance through the federal health law. But the slowing still may not make health care affordable, as medical spending is projected to outpace economic growth over the next decade, the report suggests. “Analysis of historic trends tells us that health care spending tracks with economic growth, so as the economy is anticipated to improve over the next decade, health spending growth is

projected to grow faster,” said the report’s lead author, Andrea Sisko, an economist at the Department of Health and Human Services. The federal agency analyzes every year how the country spends money on health care, and though the projections are vague, they provide something of an annual report card on the nation’s complex system. This year’s analysis is mixed. After years of very slow growth, stemming largely from the recession, health care spending is expected to pick up to an average annual rate of 5.7 percent over the next decade, or 1.1 percentage points higher than overall economic growth. The spending growth is driven by the recovering economy and by the expansion in insurance coverage that began this year under the Affordable Care Act, according to analysts. The health law allows Americans in most states to get guaranteed

coverage either through a commercial health plan or through Medicaid. (Some states whose political leaders oppose the law have not expanded their Medicaid programs to cover all their poorest residents, an option under the law). The acceleration in spending will push the country’s total health care tab to more than $5 trillion in 2023, or about 19.3 percent of the nation’s economy. That is up from 17.6 percent this year, already far more than any other industrialized nation. Analysts also expect the government’s share of that bill to increase, as more Americans age into Medicare and get subsidized coverage through Medicaid or the new insurance marketplaces created by the health law. But the authors of the new report do not expect health care spending to return to its explosive growth of the two decades before the 2008 recession.

justices to act or risk having the case back on their docket next year. “Don’t be afraid to say they’re in contempt,” Thomas Ahearne told justices. He suggested they give lawmakers until the end of the year to come up with the detailed plan. If they don’t, then bring the hammer down with sanctions that “make legislators uncomfortable,” he said. Overall, the rare showdown between two branches of government generated few fireworks and the tameness seemed to quash concerns, for now, that a constitutional crisis is in the offing. “I sense that they want to do something that will be effective, but they’re not sure what would be the most effective,” Ahearne said afterward. State Sen. David Frockt, D-Seattle, one of three lawmakers attending the hearing, had a similar take. “What I heard is that they’re going to hold the state in contempt but defer a remedy,” he said. Wednesday’s hearing is the latest confrontation in a legal saga that began in

2007. The McClearys and other families claimed in the lawsuit that the state was failing to meet a state constitutional duty to cover the full cost of a basic education for students in public elementary and secondary schools. In 2012, the Supreme Court found the state in violation of the constitution by not amply funding public schools. It gave lawmakers until the 2017-18 school year to comply and demanded regular updates on progress. Then in January, the court told lawmakers it wanted this year’s update to include a detailed plan as to how they would complete the task. Lawmakers said they tried during this year’s legislative session, but differences — political and philosophical — prevented an agreement. In scheduling Wednesday’s hearing, the court listed several possible actions it might take if it found lawmakers in contempt. Those included imposing fines, prohibiting spending on non-education services and programs, ordering the Legislature to provide specific amounts of money for education, and even shutting down schools by

prohibiting funding of an “unconstitutional education system.” It’s not known when justices will render a decision. Lawmakers, meanwhile, aren’t expected back at work until January. Most are focused now on getting re-elected in November, not figuring out how they will come up with some or all of an estimated $3.5 billion to $4 billion a year needed to adequately fund public schools. Knowing any legislative action might not come until next year is why educators such as Nick Brossoit are relying on justices to be decisive. “I think the court clearly is frustrated with the state,” said Brossoit, the superintendent of Edmonds School District. He is also president of the Network for Excellence in Washington Schools, a plaintiff in the case. “My hope is that the court will issue a contempt ruling with a clear deadline for a specific consequence,” he said. “Hopefully it will have the effect of coercing the state to comply.” Jerry Cornfield: 360-3528623; jcornfield@heraldnet. com and on Twitter at @dospueblos.

Four nuisance nutria killed Associated Press OLYMPIA — Wildlife agents have killed four nutria — rodents the size of beavers — that have made themselves a nuisance at Capitol Lake in Olympia. The state Department of Enterprise Services, which

manages the lake, hired the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s wildlife division to shoot the animals. The Olympian reported several dozen nutria are thought to infest the lake. The four animals were shot in the past month at night or early morning

hours when they are active. Agents use muffled .22-caliber rifles. More nutria killings will be scheduled. Nutria are an invasive species that were brought to Washington in the 1930s for the fur industry.

They were brainstorming ways to “fill each other’s buckets.” Be kind to other people. Be helpful.

In February, a 3-2 council majority agreed to let Weikel shepherd the tech department for nearly three additional years. Lovick vetoed the council decision, arguing that it makes sense to return the management the way it was because the emergency circumstances under Reardon no longer exist. Lovick’s administration plans to look at potential changes after it has control of the department. “I’m not going to predetermine anything right now because we haven’t had a chance to look over it with our own eyes,” Deputy County Executive Mark

Ericks said. “I’m sure Carolyn has done a good job, but every manager or supervisor has their own style.” Weikel said she tried to improve communication problems that plagued the tech department’s interactions with other county departments under Reardon. Finding ways to process public records requests more efficiently was another priority, she said. Weikel had hoped to hire a new director, but that goal went unrealized. Recruiting someone proved tricky, she said, given the department’s imminent change in leadership. Noah Haglund: 425-339-3465; nhaglund@ heraldnet.com. Twitter: @NWhaglund.

U.S. Attorney Durkan resigning The top federal law enforcement officer in the state is hailed by as a ‘tireless advocate’ for justice. By Martha Bellisle Associated Press

SEATTLE — U.S. Attorney Jenny Durkan, who helped negotiate federal oversight of the Seattle Police Department after officers were found to routinely use excessive force, announced Wednesday that she will leave office at the end of the month. But she doesn’t know what’s next. “It’s one of the first times in my life that I have not had a job and have no job lined up,” said Durkan, 56, who was appointed by President Barack Obama in 2009 to serve as the top federal law enforcement officer for the Western District of Washington. As a lawyer, she said, there is no better job than being a U.S. attorney, because “at the end of the day, your job is justice.” When asked why she’s leaving with three years left in her term, she said, “it seemed like this was a good time for me, for my family and for the office to take on a different challenge.” Attorney General Eric Holder praised Durkan as “a tireless advocate for the American people, the citizens of Washington State and for the cause of justice.” “Jenny Durkan exemplifies the highest standards of personal integrity and professional excellence,” Holder said in a

statement. “For the past five years, I have been grateful for Jenny’s dedicated service and her wise counsel.” First Assistant U.S. Attorney Annette Hayes will likely step in when Durkan leaves. Washington state’s senators will begin the process of recommending a

replacement to the White House. Obama will then nominate a new U.S. attorney to the Senate for confirmation. In the post, Durkan was involved in talks where Seattle agreed to an independent monitor of the police force as part of a deal with the Justice Department over excessive force. She also has led the federal agency’s subcommittee on cybercrime and intellectual property enforcement. Cybercrime is “the single greatest threat to our national security, privacy and economy,” Durkan said. “It has an impact on every person, every company and our country.” Shifts in technology and innovations have led to privacy concerns and left the U.S. vulnerable, she said. In one example, Durkan’s office prosecuted Russian hacker Roman Seleznev, whose laptop contained 1 to 2 million stolen credit card numbers when he was arrested, she said. He pleaded not guilty to 29 charges Aug. 8. Durkan, who’s the daughter of late Democratic state Sen. Martin Durkan and previously served as Gov. Chris Gregoire’s longtime counsel, said she has no political aspirations. She plans to stay in Seattle and wants to serve the community. “I think that it’s very important for people in any public service role to remember that they serve for the public and not for themselves,” Durkan said. “It’s far easier to stay too long than to leave at the right time.”

New plan offered to save bull trout By Jeff Barnard Associated Press

GRANTS PASS, Ore. — The Obama administration is offering a new approach to saving the bull trout, a fish whose need for clean and cold water has put it in conflict with logging, mining and grazing in the Northwest. The draft recovery plan posted online Wednesday by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service eliminates numerical goals for rebuilding populations, recognizes that climate change makes losing some populations inevitable, and focuses on fixing threats to habitat and genetic diversity. The public has 90 days to comment, and then another draft will be issued. After another public comment period, a federal court settlement calls for a final plan to be issued by Sept. 30, 2015. Michael Garrity of the conservation group Alliance for the Wild Rockies says if the elimination of numerical goals stands, they will be back in federal court. “Conservation biology says if they are going to drop those goals, they are not going to recover bull trout,” Garrity said. “It’s an extinction plan, not a recovery plan. “They are writing off areas based on politics, not science.” The service issued draft recovery plans in 2002 and 2004, but never got to the point of a final plan. Alliance for the Wild Rockies and Friends of the Wild Swan sued, and Fish and Wildlife agreed last month to issue a draft plan by the end of September. Lead biologist Stephen Duke

Associated Press SEATTLE — State Transportation Secretary Lynn Peterson reprimanded the operations director of the ferry system, saying he disrespected her in an email and phone conversation in June. Peterson formally reprimanded Steve Rodgers, 42, who is on paid administrative leave, in early July, The Seattle Times reported Wednesday after obtaining the disciplinary letter and a personnel file through a public records request.

Inslee launches alliance to stave off military cuts OLYMPIA — Gov. Jay Inslee on Wednesday renewed a statewide military alliance in an effort to fend off the economic effects of planned personnel cuts at Joint Base Lewis-McChord. Inslee signed the agreement launching the Washington Military Alliance. More than 20 military and economic development leaders attended the signing. Inslee noted that as of 2012, the state’s military industry accounted for 136,000 jobs and $15.7 billion in economic activity. “This isn’t just rhetoric,” Inslee said. “It’s numbers.” The group’s goals include protecting the state’s military and defense infrastructure, including the thousands of jobs tied to the industry throughout the state. The group will serve as a policy adviser to the governor and other state officials.

Spokane: Hastings spurns Didier in race Retiring U.S. Rep. Doc Hastings on Wednesday endorsed one of the two Republican candidates seeking to succeed him as the congressman from central Washington. Hastings endorsed former state legislator Dan Newhouse, of Sunnyside, in the November general election over tea party challenger Clint Didier of Eltopia. Newhouse and Didier are both Republicans, marking the first time in state history that two members of the same party have advanced to the general election for a U.S. House seat.

Seattle: Pit bull attack A woman was attacked by two pit bulls Wednesday in the Beacon Hill neighborhood. Police said witnesses drove away the dogs. A spokesman said officers captured the dogs and are trying to identify the owner. Fire department medics treated the woman for her wounds.

Chris Allen, of the U.S. Forest Serivce, and Patrick Barry, of the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, reintroduce the first bull trout to the Clackamas River near Eastacada, Ore., in June 2011. The fish were wiped out from the river nearly 50 years ago.

Alaska: Coal discharge into bay is ruled illegal

says the adverse effects of ongoing logging, mining and grazing have mostly been addressed since the bull trout was listed as a threatened species in 1999. Key issues still to be fixed include connecting fragmented habitats and improving fish passage so bull trout in different areas can breed together, and eliminating threats from non-native fish

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said an Alaska Railroad permit to discharge storm water into Resurrection Bay at Seward does not cover coal that falls into ocean water from a conveyor belt. In an opinion filed Wednesday, a three-judge panel of the appeals court overturned a District Court decision and ruled that coal falling from a loading facility would violate the Clean Water Act.

such as brook trout. He adds that once the remaining problems facing bull trout are addressed, they should achieve stability in the six recovery areas designated in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and Nevada. But the elimination of specific numbers of fish to define recovery was a disturbing

development to Noah Greenwald of the conservation group Center for Biological Diversity. He said numerical goals have been standard in recovery plans, though conservation groups have long been concerned they have been set too low. “It sounds like they are going to leave the patient in the ICU forever and call it good,” he said.

DOT secretary reprimands ferries manager Lynn Peterson says Steve Rodgers was disrespectful in an email and phone conversation.

NORTHWEST BRIEFLY

The incident between Peterson and Rodgers followed the state’s unsuccessful attempt to recruit a new ferries director to replace David Moseley, who retired in April. In a June 17 email, Peterson told the entire Washington State Ferries staff she was reopening the hiring process. Capt. George Capacci, the interim director, had just withdrawn from consideration, while Peterson chose not to hire the other finalist, former Pierce County Executive John Ladenburg. Rodgers replied to Peterson by email: “Considering the union pressure and influence in Olympia they have I doubt this is entirely true.” Rodgers was “belligerent, challenging and unprofessional” in an email and phone call when

he complained to her that union pressure had influenced her decision, Peterson said in her reprimand letter. The “union pressure” remark by Rodgers in his email is likely a reference to a widely circulated letter to Peterson signed by five ferry captains that blamed Capacci for recent problems, such as downplaying the nowfixed issue of boats designed with a slight lean. The captains urged Peterson to choose Ladenburg. Capacci had said he pulled out of consideration because of personal reasons. Peterson’s reprimand to Rodgers concluded with several directives, such as, “Support efforts of creating a positive work environment” and “Refrain from emotionally reacting,

and instead react with strategy and calmness.” A second search for a new ferries director is underway, and there are three finalists, a department spokesman said. “I respectfully disagree with the reprimand, but my hope is to move forward in a collaborative effort to find solutions to the many complicated issues facing WSF,” Rodgers told the newspaper. Rodgers had drawn high praise from Moseley, who rated him “above standards” in evaluations. State Sen. Christine Rolfes, D-Bainbridge Island, has said the lack of an operations director may have contributed to mishaps this summer, such as boat breakdowns and loading the wrong number of passengers.

Slowest Internet speed A new report finds Alaska’s Internet speeds are among the slowest in the country. Only Arkansas had slower speeds during the second quarter of 2014, according to the report, set for release later this month, from Internet content delivery company Akamai Technologies. However, Alaska’s Internet speeds are up 33 percent from last year.

Guilty plea in drug case A man who admitted injecting a 14-year-old Alaska girl with heroin has pleaded guilty to distribution of the drug. Sean Michael Warner, 29, signed a plea agreement last week, and the document was accepted Tuesday by U.S. District Court Judge Sharon Gleason. She set sentencing for Feb. 11. Warner admitted providing the drug that killed Jena Dolstad on Dec. 29, 2011. From Herald news services

✔ Seattle puts backup offensive lineman Lemuel Jeanpierre on injured reserve, signs receiver Phil Bates, C2 ✔ Seahawks Game Day package, C5

OAKLAND, Calif. — If Wednesday afternoon offered a preview of the American League’s wildcard game — and, yes, the Seattle Mariners still have some work to do — then postseason will start with a bang. Kyle Seager and Corey Hart hit back-to-back homers in the seventh inning that enabled Felix Hernandez to outduel Jon Lester as the Mariners edged the Oakland A’s 2-1 at the O.co Coliseum. This is what the Hunt for October feels like, Mariners fans, and Hernandez, after so many meaningless Septembers, is among the many who are reveling in the chase. “It feels great,” Felix he said. “I’m tell- Hernandez ing you, it’s fun. Allows just We came here to three hits in win the series. eight innings That’s what we of work. did. Going up against Lester, I knew it was going to be tough.” It was that and more. The drives by Seager and Hart were no-doubt bombs against Lester and countered a towering homer by Adam Dunn against Hernandez in the fourth inning. “You get that matchup,” Seager said, “you know it’s going to be hard to come by some runs. Fortunately, we were able to get two, which was enough with Felix and (Fernando) Rodney.” Both starters pitched through the eighth before Rodney protected Hernandez’s victory with a one-two-three ninth inning for his 41st save in 44 chances. Rodney’s save came roughly 18 hours after he nearly squandered a three-run lead Tuesday night before closing out a 6-5 victory. “It was back-to-back games,” he explained. “I’m more comfortable. If you look at the last 14-15 games, I only pitched like four or five innings. You get inconsistent. “But the more often I pitch, the better my command. I’m not going to miss the strike zone.” See M’S, Page C6

Green looks to guide Darrington back to postseason By David Krueger Herald Writer

Trent Green has a difficult time believing he’s a senior. The Darrington quarterback remembers looking at the Loggers seniors during his freshman year and thinking, man, these guys are tall. “It’s weird. I remember back to freshman year. It doesn’t seem like I’m one of those big kids,” Green said. “I remember the guys seemed huge. But I don’t feel like that now.” If you ask Darrington head coach Doug Lenker, he says Green is indeed “huge” — a huge part of the Loggers’ recent success, which saw Darrington go from 1-9 in Green’s freshman season to 7-3 last year with a berth in the state playoffs for the first time since 2007. “He’s pretty much doing everything we’d like him to do, or ask

him to do, and more,” Lenker said. “We put a lot on his shoulders and he handles that really well.” Lenker said Green always has been a leader for the Loggers. His first year, Green was a quiet leadby-example type. The past two seasons have seen him become one of the main voices of the program. “I’m trying to get everybody to do as much as they can so we can have one more great season,” Green said. “... It’s (the seniors) last year. I would have given it all for the seniors when I was younger.” The 6-foot Green has started for Darrington since his freshman year. His head coach said Green has developed into an intelligent, athletic quarterback.

Preps, C3

“First and foremost, he’s smart, which is important for the quarterback position,” Lenker said. “He’s athletic, too, and has a good arm. He knows the plays and he knows what everyone else should be doing so he can fix any problems we may have out there. He’s quick and can run. He’s everything you want in a quarterback.” Green also plays defensive back and is known for making big hits. “The last couple of years he’s matured at that position and has actually become our best hitter,” Lenker said. “He’s really upped his game when it comes to hitting at that corner position. He had some ESPN-type hits.” Lenker said the coaches have gotten a little nervous watching their quarterback fly toward an opposing ball carrier at full speed to deliver a bone-rattling tackle.

from last year to this year. It seems like he is really, really in control of what’s happening. ... I hate to tell him that I’m a little surprised at him doing well, but maybe that’s the case.” And maybe by now we shouldn’t be surprised by anything Wilson does in his career. He was an overlooked, thirdround pick. He was said to be too short to win in the NFL. Yet from winning the starting job as a rookie to leading the Seahawks to the playoffs that year to winning a title in Year 2, Wilson has made a habit of exceeding expectations. So what in the world will he do for an encore? Moments after a heartbreaking loss in Atlanta two seasons ago, Wilson told Carroll that the Seahawks were going to the Super Bowl the next season, and they did. Now, Wilson talks

omebody once said, “If there’s ever only one salmon left in the world, it will be a coho.” That’s an obvious fantasy, but it also carries a certain kernel of truth. Silvers are tough, resilient and adaptable. They’re completely unpredictable, and determined survivors. Here today, gone tomorrow. On the bite (Where?) and off the bite (Here). So tips on fishing the two upcoming coho derbies, Edmonds on Saturday and Everett on Sept. 20-21, could well be stale by the time participants actually hit the water. Nevertheless, here’s the local Sept. 4 coho condition: “Silvers are where you find them,” says Mike Chamberlain at Ted’s Sport Center in Lynnwood. “But the most consistent action in this area recently has been from south of Edmonds up toward Brown’s Bay, out in deeper water, and down anywhere from the surface to 45 feet in the mornings, dropping to 60 or even 100 feet later in the day.” The list of spots likely to hold coho at any one point of the season is long and frustrating: Picnic Point, humpy hollow, the west side of Whidbey Island, Possession Bar, Scatchet Head, Pilot Point, Kingston, Jefferson Head, Carkeek Park, the southern portion of Mutiny Bay, and on and on. If you get the impression that your chance of hitting a money fish during either derby is about as good as anyone else’s, despite your lack of expertise, you’ve got the basic idea. Most of the local coho right now are running 4 to 6 pounds on the average, with a few to 12 or 13 pounds, but a derby winner of 15 pounds or so could be swimming most anywhere in the local area, just waiting for your glow green

PICK OF THE WEEK | Edmonds Coho Derby

Outdoor calendar

The Sno-King Chapter, Puget Sound Anglers, hosts its 2014 Edmonds Coho Derby Sept. 6, offering $5,000 for largest coho, $2,000 for second place, and $1,000 for third. Tickets are limited and sell for $30 — including kids, but youth 14 and under are eligible for both adult and kids prizes. Entering this derby also gives you a chance to be drawn at the end of the season for the grand prize boat package being given away by the Northwest Marine Trade Association. Tickets, if any remain, are available at All Season Charters, Bayside Marine, Ed’s Surplus,

A 12-week Boating Skills and Seamanship Class begins Sept. 16 in the auxiliary classrom at Chuck Olson Chevrolet in Shoreline (17037 Aurora Avenue North). The class meets from 7-9 p.m. on Tuesdays. It’s for both novice and experienced boaters and meets the educational requirements for a state boaters card. The cost is $55 for one person or $75 for two people sharing a book. For more information, send an e-mail to boatclasses@hotmail. com or contact Mike Lowe at 425-743-9295.

Coho Killer spoon. The winner of last year’s Edmonds derby, for instance, was taken less than 100 yards off the Edmonds Marina breakwater. Fish the rips, Chamberlain says, watch for birds working schools of bait, other anglers landing fish, and jumping or surfacing salmon. Early morning is the best time to be on the water and, while the state of the tide doesn’t make as much difference to coho anglers as some other species, Chamberlain likes the last two hours of the incoming tide through high slack. The low Saturday morning is at 9:04 a.m., Chamberlain says, which isn’t particularly promising. Mooching herring at Point No Point on the ebb would be a good tactic, he says. Use a glow green or glow white Hot Spot flasher, followed by one of these Gold Star squids: OG140 (Swede’s awesome), OG142 (green hornet), OG161R (mother of pearl), or OAL12 (purple haze). Other good lures include Grand Slam bucktails in green, coho flies, Coho Killer spoons in glow green or chartreuse, or the old reliable plug-cut herring. Chamberlain suggests a leader length of 20 to 32 inches for squids and flies, and 36 to 42 inches for the spoons. And a fast troll of 3 to 31⁄2 mph is standard coho procedure. All Star Charters owner Gary Krein, in Everett, said several limits came from the shoreline south of Edmonds on Monday and Tuesday, most small but with a couple in the 8- to 9-pound range.

Youth hunt If you have a budding wingshooter in the family but nowhere to go on the waterfowl opener Oct. 11, consider the special youth hunt, Sept. 20-21, for waterfowl and upland birds. The local chapter of the Washington Waterfowl Association, with the Nature Conservancy, offers free duck hunts for youngsters 15 and under, and can even loan a shotgun if the young person is gunless. There will be five hunts per day, two in the morning and three in the afternoon, and as of Tuesday morning there were still several slots left. It’s first come, first served, so if you’re interested, get on it. The youth involved must have all the proper paperwork — licenses, permits, stamps, in hand. These experiences can be tailored to the individual, from one adult and one youth on their own, to a fully “guided” hunt including a club member with a call. Contact “Reb” at 760-859-7442, or lostfish01@gmail.com.

E-tickets can be purchased at www.boatsafloatshow.com, and if you buy your admission tix online, you get a one-year Boat U.S. membership and a free appetizer at Nouvilhos Brazilian Steakhouse, Chandler’s Cove. One powerboat of note on display will be one of the Aspen Power Catamarans, the C100 32-foot production boat that recently completed a circumnavigation of Vancouver Island non-stop, unrefueled. The Aspen team completed the 641-mile challenge in 47 hours, on 267 gallons of fuel, averaging 13.6 knots and using a miserly 5.6 gallons per hour at cruise speed. Other attractions at the show will include the Center for Wooden Boats’ kids toy boat building Saturday and Sunday; kids free sailing lessons, Saturday and Sunday; free sailboat rides every day; and adult sailboat lessons daily.

Neah Bay opportunity

Potholes trophies

Lots of good fishing going on right now at Neah Bay, according to Joey Lawrence, owner of Big Salmon Fishing Resort: two lingcod, 10 rockfish, two silvers, two kings, per day. Coho and chinook can now be either hatchery or wild fish, Lawrence said. Contact the resort at 1-866-7871900 or bigsalmon@centurytel. net or go to bigsalmonresort.net or facebook.com/1joeylawrence.

Potholes Reservoir kicked out a couple of very trophy fish over the Labor Day weekend — a 33-pound channel catfish, and a 2-pound, 4-ounce, 141⁄2-inch crappie. The big cat was taken by Santo Garza of Othello, casting a chatterbait from the shore at the east end of O’Sullivan Dam. A chatterbait is an inline skirted lure commonly used on the reservoir. The crappie was “a huge fish for its species,” according to MarDon Resort owner Mike Meseberg. “You seldom see crappie that size.” The crappie was caught off the MarDon Dock, truly a plate-size panfish. Pictures of the two trophies are posted on the Herald’s outdoor blog.

Boat show The Lake Union Boats Afloat Show in Seattle runs Sept. 10-14, with lots of nautical stuff for boaters of all persuasions. Hours are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. weekdays, and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekends; tickets are $12 for adults, $5 for youth 12-17; and free for kids 11 and under. A special sailing ticket for $50 will get you two days admission, a 11⁄2-hour sailing seminar, and a 11⁄2-hour on-water sailing lesson.

SEAHAWKS | Notebook

Jeanpierre placed on IR, Bates re-signed By John Boyle

both of them now on the roster, the Seahawks currently have eight receivers, a very high number, on their roster, and only eight offensive linemen. Expect those numbers to change soon. Other injuries

Herald Writer

RENTON — Seahawks coach Pete Carroll was vague about the status of Lemuel Jeanpierre during Wednesday’s press conference, seemingly a sign that bad news was coming. Later in the day, the Seahawks placed the backup lineman on injured reserve because of a neck injury. Receiver Phil Bates was signed to fill the open roster spot. Jeanpierre, who joined Seattle’s practice squad in 2010 and has been on the active roster the past three seasons, started three games at center last year in

about wanting to be legendary, about wanting to win multiple titles. Are you going to doubt him, especially after seeing him play this preseason? Cornerback Richard Sherman, who faces Wilson in practice on a regular basis, says he has seen the young quarterback coming into his own, says he’s more decisive this year, while safety Earl Thomas says Wilson and the offense are now just as good as the Seahawks’ defense. And receiver Percy Harvin says of Wilson, “The sky is the limit for that guy.” If last year’s Super Bowl title was a one-time deal for the Seahawks, that 2013 team will be remembered as one that won it all on the strength of a historically good defense. If the Seahawks can repeat this year, or win three or four titles over a five or six-year stretch, that dynasty not only will be remembered for Carroll and John Schneider, who built the team, but also for Wilson, the wouldbe face of a dynasty.

place of an injured Max Unger. In his absence, the Seahawks will use Stephen Schilling as their backup center. Bates, who made Seattle’s 53-man roster when cuts were made Saturday, was released two days later and replaced by receiver Bryan Walters. With

And that is what’s really at stake for Wilson, beginning today and this season. He already has proven he can be a very good NFL quarterback and that he can win. But now he’s on the precipice of greatness. If he really does take another step forward, he’ll bury the silly notion once and for all that he’s a “game manager” and put himself among the ranks of Rodger, Drew Brees, Peyton Manning and Tom Brady. Wilson is still rattles off the same clichés, from “championship mindset” to “100 yards is 100 yards” to “the separation is in the preparation” to “constant quest for knowledge.” However, beyond his go-to sayings, he also can sense that he’s ready to do big things this season. Some of that has to do with the players around him, most notably a healthy Harvin, and the expanded playbook that comes with that, but Wilson knows some of that growth will be is own. “(The playbook) definitely

Carroll said that cornerback Tharold Simon will likely require a minor procedure to deal with a knee injury. In addition to Simon, the Seahawks will be without TE Cooper Helfet (knee), RB Christine Michael (hamstring) and LB Kevin Pierre-Louis (hamstring). The news is better on the other three players on the injury report, with WR Kevin Norwood (ankle), CB Jeremy Lane (groin) and LB Bruce Irvin (hip) all listed as probable.

has grown a lot, in terms of all things that we can do,” Wilson said. “A lot of it is because of our personnel, but also because I’ve grown a lot more in the checks that I can make and in learning the game. That’s my goal. I’m only going into Year 3. This is going to be the beginning of Year 3 for me, so I’m excited about continuing to get back on the field every opportunity I get whether it’s practice or a game.” Wilson figures to be spectacular this season, and there’s no better way for him and the Seahawks to get started than on this stage and against this opponent. “It’s a great matchup, we have a fantastic opponent,” Carroll said. “It’s everything you can ask for on opening night.” That’s true both for the Seahawks and for Wilson, their quarterback who is ready to make a big leap in 2014. Herald Writer John Boyle: jboyle@heraldnet.com.

Captains named Players voted on captains this week, and they are Russell Wilson for offense, Kam Chancellor for the defense, and Jon Ryan and Steven Hauschka for special teams. It’s the second straight year with Wilson earning captains honors, while Chancellor replaces Red Bryant, and Hauschka and Ryan replacing Heath Farwell, who is on injured reserve. “We have terrific leadership on this football team and I’m really proud to say that,” Carroll said.

Packers fan or cop? For the second year in a row, undercover police officers will attend Seahawks games wearing opposing teams’ jerseys as part of the team’s focus on fan conduct. Consider yourselves warned, Seahawks fans.

Cowboys add Sam to practice squad Associated Press IRVING, Texas — Michael Sam’s second chance will be with the Dallas Cowboys. Coach Jason Garrett said Wednesday that the league’s first openly gay player will be added to the practice roster. “We just want to give him a chance to come in and help our football team,” Garrett said. “That’s where our attention is (football). What people say outside the organization is up to them.” The Cowboys, who are seeking help with their pass rush because of injuries and the offseason release of franchise sacks leader DeMarcus Ware, added Sam four days after he was released by St. Louis when teams had to cut rosters to 53 players. Sam isn’t likely to be on the active roster for Sunday’s opener against San Francisco.

Murphy benefiting from Gordon pipeline By David Krueger

Archbishop Murphy Wildcats

Reagan Gordon is the third of three brothers to play football at Archbishop Murphy High School. IAN TERRY / THE HERALD

Reagan Gordon stands just 5-foot-7. “Reagan is tiny. He’s easy to overlook but Reagan is the toughest kid that we have on our team,” Jensen said. “His older brother Randy was a tough, tough kid and Randy told me Reagan’s even tougher than he is. He’s just a kid that’s going to give you his all. He’s going to do it right and he’s going to do it well. If we had 11 Reagan Gordons out there, that’d be just fine with me.” “He’s a little guy,” Randy Gordon said of his younger brother. “He’s got incredible strength for his size. He’s got speed, agility and desire to win. He’s a hard worker. I think that kind of runs in the family. I don’t think we were necessarily all very gifted. I think it was our work ethic that got us to where we are. And the same goes for Reagan.” Jensen said Reagan Gordon

witnessed one of the high points of the Murphy football program, which reached four consecutive state championship games from 2008-11, and will do whatever he can to help the Wildcats get back. “He knows the tradition and what to expect here,” Jensen said. “More than that, he lives it. It’s easy to talk about it, but he takes pride in it and wants to continue that. He has a connection to the past. He’s seen Murphy at its height and wants to help get it back there.” That tradition has put a small burden on the younger Gordon. “There’s that pressure that you have to be good,” Reagan Gordon said, “because your brothers were good.” Reagan Gordon was a sophomore when the Wildcats had four head coaches in a span of one year. He said Jensen has brought stability to the program since he was hired in January

2013. “I think that’s a big thing for us,” Reagan Gordon said. “We had three different coaches (before Jensen). I think it was just rough for the players to get used to three different coaching styles. That’s why I think we had a hard time last year.” Now the Wildcats and their coach are on the same page. And they’re hoping for a storybook ending. “I think everybody wants to win the state championship but if we don’t, we don’t,” Gordon said. “I just want to go out, have fun, play my hardest and just enjoy my season. It’s my last year of football.” The Gordon brothers hope one of them can capture that elusive state championship. “My brother and I both had the chance. It’d be nice if one of us could actually win it,” Ricky Gordon said. “Hopefully he goes to state and finally brings home the ring.”

Coaches poll

Herald Writer

Jerry Jensen is familiar with the Gordons. The Archbishop Murphy football coach worked with one, 2011 graduate Randy Gordon, when he was an assistant with the Wildcats in 2009. Now, in his second season as the head coach at Murphy, Jensen said he is blessed to have another Gordon on his squad: Reagan Gordon, a running back and strong safety. In between Randy and Reagan, Ricky Gordon — Class of 2013 — helped the Wildcats to deep runs in the Class 2A state playoffs. Now, Reagan Gordon hopes to help get Archbishop Murphy, which went 3-6 last season, back to the level of prominence it enjoyed when his brothers played. “I have a really good feeling about this year,” Reagan Gordon said. “For a little bit, things were kind of rocky. But with coach Jensen and all the new coaches coming in, I think we’ll turn the program around and do really well.” Reagan Gordon grew up playing football in the street with his older brothers, who taught him the fundamentals, as well as a few tricks. “They’d be telling me better ways to run, to make better cuts and teaching me how to do the stuff,” Reagan Gordon said. “Just giving me advice and encouragement, saying, ‘Run harder’ and stuff like that.”

Green From Page C1

“We’ll move him out of a drill if there’s a potential situation we don’t like, or a bad matchup. He absolutely hates that,” Lenker said. “He doesn’t complain, but he doesn’t like to be babied. You always worry when he goes after somebody, but that’s what he does. We have to allow him to play.” Green is one of several Darrington seniors who started as freshmen. They went 1-9 that year, including a 22-7 loss to Oroville in the Emerald City Kickoff Classic. This season, the Loggers again start at the Emerald City Kickoff Classic, facing the Bridgeport Mustangs at 10 a.m. Saturday at Memorial Field in Seattle. Green wants the team to get off to a good start and ride that momentum to another deep playoff run. “It’s going to be cool, with the big stadium and everything,” Green said. “The last two seasons we’ve grown a lot. Everybody is getting more into it. The fans, the players, everybody. We’re going to have a strong season. “I want to make the postseason one more time. It’s going to be tougher this year because they’re only taking two teams (out of the Northwest 1A/2B conference) but I think we’ve still got a shot.” Lenker said the number of players, as well as the number of wins, has continued to rise in Green’s time with the Loggers. “We’ve been making progress and I certainly think that we’re going to be as good, or better, than we were last year,” Lenker said. “I’d like to make the playoffs and I’d like to win a league title, which is certainly in our reach.”

Considered the best server in women’s tennis, the No. 1-seeded Williams was broken twice in a row at the outset Wednesday night, before taking complete control for a 6-3, 6-2 victory over 11th-seeded Flavia Pennetta of Italy. “I don’t feel like I was doing too much wrong,” said Williams. “So I said, ‘If she keeps it up, she absolutely deserves the win.’ And I just tried to do a little better.” Williams is bidding to become the first woman with three consecutive U.S. Open titles since Chris Evert took four in a row from 1975-78. The 32-year-old American also is trying to pull even with Evert and Martina Navratilova at 18 Grand Slam singles trophies. On Friday, Williams will meet 17th-seeded Ekaterina Makarova, who defeated 2012 and 2013 runner-up Victoria Azarenka 6-4, 6-2. The other women’s semifinal will be No. 10 Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark against unseeded Peng Shuai of China.

Seahawks will raise a banner before the game, then take on NFC team that might be their biggest obstacle to another Super Bowl berth.

Chargers can only hope regular-season version of Russell Wilson and Seattleâ€™s offense doesnâ€™t resemble what mowed them down in preseason.

The good news for the Broncos is that it wonâ€™t be hard to get off to a better start than they did in the Super Bowl.

Seattleâ€™s first Monday night game of 2014 features two QBs from the 2012 draft whose careers have gone in very different directions.

Cowboys defense looks like it might be one of the NFLâ€™s worst. Seattleâ€™s is probably going to be pretty good. So yeah, this could be a mismatch.

The Rams lost starting quarterback Sam Bradford for the season, but their defense, and pass rush in particular, are still as dangerous as ever.

Even if Seahawks can win back-to-back road games multiple time zones away, theyâ€™re sure to be sore after facing two of the NFCâ€™s top defenses.

Rookie QB Derrick Carrâ€™s preseason performance vs. the Seahawks suddenly makes this seem like a tougher test than it did a couple weeks ago.

Seahawks vs. Packers At A Glance SERIES HISTORY

game â€” but it certainly wouldnâ€™t hurt. >> Establish run early. Seattleâ€™s passing offense looks like it will be explosive, but it all starts with the threat of Marshawn Lynch. If Lynch can start the game with a few good runs, say of the 7-to-8 yard variety, it will force the Packers to dedicate more resources to the run game. That, in turn, should open things up in the passing game. >> Handle Green Bayâ€™s pace. The Packers are expected to go hurry-up on offense, which the Seahawks say wonâ€™t be a big deal. One concern, however, could be that the Seahawks like to rotate defensive linemen with a pretty high frequency. The Packers going no-huddle would obviously limit those chances to sub out linemen.

The Packers lead the regular-season series 8-6, including four of the last six, but the Seahawks own the most recent victory (though Packers fans might not agree), a 14-12 win in 2012. Seattle has won three of five matchups at home, including two of three at CenturyLink Field.

KEY MATCHUP Packers RB Eddie Lacy vs. Seattleâ€™s front seven As much as the Packers are known for their passing game, led by All-Pro quarterback Aaron Rodgers, stopping the ground game will be key for the Seahawks. â€œFirst thingâ€™s first, weâ€™ve got to stop the run,â€? said linebacker K.J. Wright. â€œEddie Lacy is a big guy, he runs people over, breaks tackles left and right, so I believe weâ€™ve got to stop him first. If we donâ€™t stop him, theyâ€™ll just have their way with us.â€? With Rodgers sidelined by injury for the second half of last season, the Packers had to lean on Lacy, and the rookie produced, finishing the year with 1,178 yards and 11 touchdowns. And it wonâ€™t exactly be easy for a defense to open the season with a back as physical as the former Alabama standout. â€œItâ€™s a great test to play against a 240-pound running back,â€? defensive end Michael Bennett said. â€œYou obviously get to see what the tacklingâ€™s going to be like. A key point will be how many missed tackles there are going to be. If we donâ€™t have a lot of missed tackles, itâ€™ll be a great game.â€? If the Packers can get Lacy going and create favorable down-and-distance situations, even Seattleâ€™s vaunted secondary will be vulnerable to the passing game. If, however, Seattle can bottle up Lacy and create third-and-long scenarios, no quarterback, not even Rodgers, will have success against the â€œLegion of Boomâ€? and the din of CenturyLink Field.

KEY NUMBER

Seattleâ€™s margin of victory in seven primetime 18.3 regular season games at CenturyLink Field under Carroll. The Seahawks are 7-0 under Carroll in such games, and all have been double-digit victories with the

exception of the 2012 14-12 victory over Green Bay.

IMPORTANT INJURIES Seahawks â€” TE Cooper Helfet (knee), RB Christine Michael (hamstring), G Lemuel Jeanpierre (neck), LB Kevin Pierre-Louis (hamstring) and CB Tharold Simon (knee) have been ruled out. WR Kevin Norwood (ankle), CB Jeremy Lane (groin) and LB Bruce Irvin (hip) are all probable. Packers â€” Nose tackle B.J. Raji suffered a seasonending torn biceps in the preseason, a big blow to Green Bayâ€™s defense. On the other side of the ball, there is concern in the middle as well, as center J.C. Tretter is out with a knee injury, meaning rookie Corey Linsley will make his NFL debut in a hostile environment. Also out are TE Brandon Bostick (fibula), CB Demitri Goodson (concussion).

BREAK IT DOWN Seahawks will win if they â€Ś >> Feed off the crowd. CenturyLink Field will be rocking Thursday night, and if the Seahawks can feed off of that energy and start quick, things could spiral out of control quickly for the Packers. Seattle doesnâ€™t need a quick start to win â€” see last yearâ€™s NFC Championship

Packers will win if they â€Ś >> Win the turnover battle. Beating the Seahawks at home is hard enough without making mistakes. Doing it if you give them the ball is darn near impossible (though somehow the Cardinals did it last season). If Aaron Rodgers and company are careless with the football, it could get ugly in a hurry. >> Contain Percy Harvin. The Packers are very familiar with Harvin having played him twice a year when he was with the Vikings, but they donâ€™t have a ton of tape on how the Seahawks will use him thanks to last yearâ€™s injuries. Losing track of Harvin even once could be a mistake that costs the Packers six points. >> Help rookie center Corey Linsley. Thanks to an injury to starter J.C. Tretter, Linsley will be making his NFL debut in the leagueâ€™s loudest stadium while also lining up against veteran DT Brandon Mebane, one of the gameâ€™s most underrated defensive linemen. Linebacker Bruce Irvin joked he would be praying for Linsley because of that matchup with Mebane, but rather than pray, the Packers should look for ways to give the rookie blocking help in the middle.

PICK Seahawks 27, Packers 20 Green Bay seemingly is too talented to let this game get out of hand, but thereâ€™s no way the Seahawks are losing at home on the night they hang a banner. â€” John Boyle, Herald Writer

“(Gee whiz), what am I doing? But I’m happy. This game was for my wife. It’s her birthday today.” It helped, possibly, that he was pitching in the East Bay. Hernandez is now 6-0 with a 1.98 ERA in nine starts at the O.co Coliseum since April 1, 2011. “We’ve just got to score more,” A’s catcher Derek Norris said. “We

can’t rely on a pitcher, Jon Lester or Sandy Koufax, to throw nine shutout innings.” Manager Lloyd McClendon pointedly cited another possible reason for Hernandez’s success — a recent decision to provide extra rest for everyone in the rotation just prior to the September stretch drive.

McClendon believes that decision attracted excessive criticism during a 2-5 stumble prior to victories in the last two games. “(Hernandez) was special today and, I might add, he was rested,” McClendon said. “I’m like (former basketball coach) Bobby Knight. When I die, you can bury me facedown. So all of you can kiss my (backside).” That outburst might also reflect that McClendon, and all the Mariners, realized this wasn’t just another game. The Mariners won a September road series against a contender because their ace out-pitched the opponent’s ace. “If you want to be the best,” McClendon said, “you’ve got to beat the best. It sounds cliche-ish. But it’s just the way it is. You’ve got to beat big pitchers. “You’ve got to grind the at-bats out, and know they’re going to get theirs. Somehow, you find a way to win ballgames. We beat a real good pitcher today. We found a way to win a ballgame.”

The victory boosted the Mariners to 75-63 and pulled them to within one-half game of Detroit (76-63) in the battle for the AL’s final wild-card berth. The A’s are currently positioned for the first wild-card berth. So, the two teams could meet again later this month in the wildcard game. If so, this preview would be tough to top. Hernandez (14-5) limited the A’s to one run and three hits in winning for the first time in four starts. Lester (13-10) gave up two runs and seven hits. Both were magnificent; Hernandez was just a little better in ending a three-start winless streak and — this seems incredible — winning a post-August start for the first time since a 2-1 victory on Sept. 6, 2011 at Anaheim. Since then: 0-9 in 12 postAugust starts with a 6.19 ERA. “I know, right,” Hernandez said.

OAKLAND, Calif. — Veteran outfielder Endy Chavez, at 36, concedes his success this season stems, at least in part, from the pick-and-choose manner in which his playing time is doled out by manager Lloyd McClendon. And yet ... “He’s giving me some rest,” Chavez said, “and keeping me fresh. But I know I can play every day for a month or something like that. I feel healthy. I feel fine. Everything is running good.” More than good. Chavez is on a .381 surge (16-for-42) in 19 games over the last four weeks. Add seven walks over another nine plate appearances, and his on-base percentage jumps to .469 for that span. His two-run hustle

double on a grounder up the middle was a highlight in Tuesday’s 6-5 victory over Oakland, when the Mariners built a six-run lead before holding on for the victory. “That’s him, though,” third baseman Kyle Seager said. “He battles in everything. He’s going to give you a professional at-bat every day. He just goes about his business, and he plays the game the right way.” Chavez is, in his 13th season, the sort of player whom managers love and teammates appreciate even when his numbers aren’t quite as eye-popping as they’ve been in recent weeks. “Listen, Endy is a pro,” McClendon said. “You can talk about all of the sabermetric stuff and WAR stuff. Endy Chavez is a baseball player through and through. He gets it done.”

at and dream. This home tour not only lets you see some wowie-zowie houses, you get to sample good food. Better yet, it’s all for a great cause. There are six houses on the Cooks’ Home Tour by Assistance League of Everett, with a chef in every kitchen. Money raised goes for projects such as Operation School Bell to give kids a new wardrobe of school clothes. Other league programs provide financial aid for graduating high school seniors, Everett Community College scholarships, clothing and hygiene kits for assault victims and teddy bears for children. Homes on the self-guided tour, which is held on a Monday, are in Mukilteo and nearby areas of Everett.

Restaurants represented are Buck’s American Cafe in Everett, LJ’s Bistro and Bar in Lake Stevens, Kosta’s Mediterranean Cuisine in Mukilteo, Briar Laine Personal Chef Service in Mill Creek, Everett’s Prohibition Gastropub and Harbour Pointe Golf Club in Mukilteo. Buck’s chef James Abbott will be dishing out artichoke dip on crostini bread. “It’s been a staple at Buck’s since they opened in 1986,” Abbott said. “Same with peanut butter pie.” At last year’s Cooks’ tour, Abbott served a mini version of Buck’s World Famous Peanut Butter Pie. Abbott and his wife, Anne, are taking over ownership of Buck’s on Oct. 1, after 17 years of being chef and manager. His mom, Marie Mathis, has been a server at the Hewitt Avenue diner for 18 years. She’ll keep serving. See HOME, Page D3

ANTIQUES & COLLECTIBLES | Terry and Kim Kovel

Antique recycled furniture can fetch big prices at auction

urniture made from recycled workbenches and school lockers, or huge metal parts from factory machines is not a new idea. Our ancestors recycled clothing into quilts, tin advertising signs into patches for a leaky roof and cattle horns into Victorian chairs. The earliest horn furniture was made in Germany in the 1830s, and by the late 1870s, it was being made in the United States. Slaughterhouses in Chicago had a huge supply of horns left over from the processing of meat. It is said that the Tobey Furniture Co. of Chicago exhibited a sofa and chair made with

horn arms at the Chicago Exposition of 1876. Later they also used horns for the legs and backs with upholstered seats, forming furniture with the curving lines popular at the time. Horns from buffalo, elk and longhorn cattle, as well as antlers, were used for tables, hall trees, rocking chairs and footstools. This novel furniture lost favor, and by the 1890s was bought for hunting lodges and cabins. By 1900, horn chairs were considered old-fashioned and not often seen. But there was a revival of interest in the 1980s, and old pieces brought good prices at auctions.

INSIDE: Plant of Merit, 2

Today an antique piece of horn furniture made and signed by a famous maker, or one that shows exceptional skill with clever design and inlays, retails for over $10,000. Average pieces bring $1,000 to $2,000 or less. Q: My grandmother left me a cobaltblue glass pitcher and 12 tall matching drinking glasses. The pitcher has an ice lip. Each piece is decorated with a white silhouette of a sailboat and flying birds. I think the set is more than 100 years old. My aunt once told me they were stored in my grandmother’s china closet and rarely used. They’re

The waning days of summer are a good time to make sure your home isn’t putting out a welcome mat for insect invaders. If you’re like me, you’d rather not share your space with wasps, spiders, stink bugs and other pests that often become more visible in the fall, any more than you want to see cockroaches, termites or other bugs that cause problems year-round. Fortunately, pest control pros say there’s much you can do to make your home less inviting to creepy crawlies: Start by inspecting your home, inside and out. Make sure your window

screens are in good repair. Look for cracks and gaps in the foundation and around windows and doors. Seal any problem areas with caulk or use hardware cloth or mesh. Check that your crawl space access door fits properly. Inspect other areas that could offer bugs shelter: soffits, pipes, dryer vents, doorjambs and utility wire holes. Take a look at your landscaping. Trim overhanging tree limbs that might provide an insect or rodent on-ramp to your home. Cut vegetation so it’s at least three feet from your home. Don’t allow soil or mulch to build up

around the foundation. Siding shouldn’t touch soil or mulch, and firewood should be stored away from the house. Consider the quality of your housekeeping. Insects and other pests will be less likely to invade if they don’t find a ready supply of food and shelter. Regularly take out trash, and keep garbage can lids on tight. Wipe down tables, countertops and floors after preparing food or eating a meal. Keep clothes and other items off the floor. Regularly wipe or sweep away spider webs. Moisture also attracts insects, particularly termites and carpenter ants,

which can damage your home’s structure. Find and eliminate the source of any damp areas. To prevent or reduce mosquitoes, eliminate standing water on your property. Even if you don’t have an immediate insect issue, it’s a good idea to identify a reputable pest control pro so you’re ready for any critter crisis. If you want to stop many insect problems before they get a chance to start, consider contracting for periodic preventive services. These usually come with guarantees and can cost $130 to $150 for an annual visit. Angie Hicks is the founder of Angie’s List, a resource for local consumer reviews.

Four renovation projects to do INSIDE

SEPTEMBER 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.

Home: Grandpa Bill’s is a place for grandkids From Page D1

On the home tour, you’ll find Abbott in the kitchen of Bill Rucker’s waterfront home. That’s right: Rucker. As in the street, hill, mansion and tomb. As in the last name of the two brothers who helped found Everett. It’s no coincidence that some of the furniture from the mansion is in this home. Bill Rucker’s grandfather was one of those prominent pioneers. He’s passing on a bit of legacy to his own grandchildren. He and his wife, Susie, had planned to downsize from their former home after becoming empty nesters. Instead, they bought this rambler and remodeled it in 2008 as a fun house for their big flock of grandkids, with a ball court, six-hole putting green, arcade games, piano, pool table and plenty of romping room for a swarm of energetic bodies. A crafty sign in front says “Grandma & Grandpa’s Place, Open Daily. Kids Spoiled Here. Cookies n’ Hugs.” “Sadly, Susie passed away after we got here,” Rucker said. “Now it’s Grandpa Bill’s place.” The home has sweeping views of Puget Sound and lots of comfortable furniture to kick back and watch the clouds go by or sip in the dazzling sunsets. “The room I like the best is the kitchen,” Rucker said. The refrigerator is festooned with family

in perfect condition. Who made the set and what is it worth? A: Your set of Depression Glass dishes is about 75 years old, not 100. They were made in the late 1930s by the Hazel-Atlas Glass Co. of Wheeling, W.Va. The pattern usually is called “Ships” or “Sailboat.” The pattern was made by adding the ship decoration to Hazel-Atlas’ undecorated Moderntone dishes. Pitchers and tumblers in the Ships pattern are not in great demand these days, but if yours are in perfect condition they would sell — the pitcher for about $50 and the glasses for $10-$20 each, depending on their size. Q: We have a set of children’s furniture that includes a crib, dresser, chifferobe with drawers and a door, and a toy box. A tag on the back reads “Little Edison Furniture.” We bought it in 1948, and it has served 17 children through the years. It’s been professionally refinished and the lid to the toy box has been replaced. Any idea what the set is worth? A: Thomas Alva Edison, the famous inventor, bought the Wisconsin Chair Company of New London, Wisconsin, in 1917 and changed the name to Wisconsin Panel and Cabinet Company. The factory made cabinets for Edison phonographs. Later, the name of the company became Edison Wood Products. A line of children’s furniture was introduced in 1927. It was sold under the name “Edison Little Folks Furniture” beginning in 1937. The parent company merged with McGraw Electric Company in 1957 and became McGraw-Edison. Edison Wood Products continued operating under that name until 1969 when the Simmons Company bought McGraw-Edison and Edison Little Folks furniture became Simmons Juvenile Furniture. Value of your set that has been refinished and has replacement parts, $600.

DAILY CROSSWORD

Hubby’s mopey about 3rd baby’s gender Adapted from a recent online discussion. Hi, Carolyn: I recently learned we are pregnant with our third baby, the same gender as the other two. Husband is very disappointed that we aren’t having his gender preference, and I am, too, a bit, but mostly trying to stay positive. Husband went from being super-excited about the pregnancy, and suggesting I “take it easy” and get pedicures, offering to cook, etc., to standard basic help around the house. He never asks how I am feeling or offers to step up his help. We have good communication and he’s shared that he feels like less of a man. I am glad he felt comfortable to share but it is very hurtful, and it makes me wish I weren’t pregnant at all. We’ve talked to a counselor who suggested we discuss the possibility of a FOURTH child, which I am unwilling to do. So now we both just feel stuck and miserable. Please help? — Gender Disappointment Has no one uttered the words “grow the [erf] up”? I believe in validating feelings. They are what they are and pretending they aren’t never works. But sometimes they’re so wrongheaded, selfish and destructive that

CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT they have to be called out as such. As in, “I feel for you — I was nursing a little gender preference, too. “But look at how you’re acting on these feelings: You’re generally and plainly not treating this baby as a good thing anymore. And that’s BS. This is a person. OUR person. No less deserving of our love and excitement than a person of the other sex would have been. “It’s time to get fully onboard with this child. I will not stand by as you treat her (right?) — and now me — as less-than. “If you need help, I’ll support that. Being ‘more of a man,’ in my eyes, is finding joy in fatherhood without regard for the sex of the child.” The counselor has me banging my head. What if the fourth child is the “wrong” sex again? Or the “right” sex — and the prior three get to witness the kind of love

Room share hits snag over mom’s snoring

THE NEW YORK TIMES CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Abby: My son’s out-of-town wedding is coming up. My mother will attend and be traveling with me. I am single, and my mom is also single. She’s planning on sharing a room with me. Abby, my mom has a severe snoring problem, and I’m a very light sleeper. I cannot sleep with a snorer! I don’t want to ruin my time at my son’s wedding, and she’s upset about the added expense of another room, which neither of us can really afford, but I don’t know what else to do. — Mother Of The Groom Dear Mother Of The Groom: The separate room may be a luxury you can’t “really afford,” but incurring the expense may be worth it so you won’t sleepwalk through your son’s wedding. I’m not recommending earplugs because, while they may dull the racket, they won’t completely eliminate the sound of severe snoring. P.S. If your mother’s physician doesn’t know about her snoring, it should be discussed so the doctor can make sure it isn’t a symptom of a serious health problem.

10 Captain played by

Dear Abby: My son has two children who are in temporary foster care, and has visitation with the ex’s stepsister, who got the right to grant visitation. Recently we had a birthday party for them. All the grandparents, aunts and uncles were invited. It was a kiddie party, of course, and I jumped into the pool and played with the children. We had a ball! A few weeks later, I heard the stepsister’s mother had said I had “no business” playing in the pool with the kids. I was taken aback. RIP HAYWIRE

DEAR ABBY Isn’t that what grandmas are for? I love playing with the little ones. Was I wrong for not “acting my age”? Did I make a fool of myself? The custody fight is ongoing and I don’t want to do anything that would jeopardize my son winning custody. — Worried In New York Dear Worried: I don’t think you did anything inappropriate. I suspect the stepsister’s mother was jealous that she wasn’t the person in the pool, which is why she didn’t speak up during the party and you had to hear it weeks later secondhand. Dear Abby: On July 31 you printed my question about throwing a 25th anniversary party for my parents. I want to let you know that instead of taking on an expensive dinner that I can’t afford right now, I’m collaborating with a cousin to have a chef come into their home to prepare a nice meal for them and the people who participated in their wedding. I felt it was a much more personal and cost-effective way to give them the nice anniversary they deserve. Thank you for your advice! — Son Of Silvers Dear S.O.S.: The idea is terrific.

I can add that if you’re losing, the way to get back to even is not to forget ... what has happened in the play. At six spades, South took the ace of hearts, drew trumps and let the ten of clubs ride. East took the king and hurriedly cashed the ace of diamonds. “It was a 50-50 slam,” South shrugged.

Do you agree? South can always succeed if he guesses who has the ace of diamonds. If he thinks West has it, South can lead a low diamond through West. If West grabs his ace, South has 12 tricks. If West ducks, dummy’s king wins, and South throws his last diamond on a high heart and loses one club. The same approach works if East has the ace of diamonds. South doesn’t know who has the ace, but he should remember the opening lead: On the auction, West probably would have led the ace if he had it. South should play East

Netflix lets you share less It’s letting you determine who among your Facebook friends sees what you’ve watched. By Michael Liedtke Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO — Netflix is giving its Internet video subscribers a more discreet way to recommend movies and TV shows to their Facebook friends after realizing most people don’t want to share their viewing habits with large audiences. Until now, Netflix subscribers linking the service to their Facebook accounts automatically disclosed everything they were watching with a potentially broad range of people. The company believes the open-ended approach discouraged most Netflix subscribers from connecting their accounts with their Facebook profiles. The automatic disclosures ended Tuesday as Netflix Inc. embraces a new system that

empowers subscribers to select which friends will receive their video recommendations. A menu of friends culled from Facebook will appear after Netflix subscribers finish watching a video if they have turned on the sharing feature. The move reflects Facebook’s evolution into a service where people have allowed passing acquaintances into their networks, along with close friends and family. “There are a lot of people on Facebook that you don’t really know that well,” said Cameron Johnson, Netflix’s director of product development. Netflix believes people will share their viewing experiences if they are given more control over who sees what they’ve been watching. The Los Gatos, California, company, in turn, hopes the recommendations will deepen subscriber loyalty and attract new customers. “If you are really moved by a piece of content and you know someone in your life that would like it, you are going to want

them to watch it too, so you can talk about it and get excited about it together,” Johnson said. The Facebook recommendations are limited to subscribers of Netflix’ video-streaming service, which costs $8 or $9 per month in the U.S. The streaming service has 50 million subscribers worldwide. There are no plans to extend the Facebook recommendations to the DVD-by-mail service, which is steadily shrinking. The recommendations made under the new sharing system will appear in a few ways. If both people are Netflix subscribers who have connected to Facebook, the recommendation will appear as a marquee attraction at the top of the recipient’s Netflix page. The Facebook profile picture of the person touting the video also will appear alongside the recommendation. The recommendations will no longer appear on the customers’ Facebook profile page or the news feeds that their friends see.

SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY 50 years ago (1964) Scott Paper Co.’s new Forestry Study Trail off Getchell Road was dedicated yesterday as part of the firm’s participation in the annual Business-Education Day for staff members of the Everett schools. Kurt Minnich, project forester, was assisted in planting a tree by View Ridge kindergartner Brad Maples and Washington second-grader Beth Clark. Also part of the

Business-Education Day was a visit to Western Gear Corp. A photo showed Warren Hewett, sixth-grade teacher at Longfellow School on the inside looking out of a 9 ½-foot high tire. 25 years ago (1989) Mike Studley stretched to pain the underside of a girder on the Marysville water tower. He said he used climb trees a lot when a kid, explaining his lack of fear on the 150-foot tower. The new color was nearly the

same as the old — a light blue. Michelle Olsen was dressed for her singing competition and held Varro, her English angora rabbit. The 17-year-old had done about everything at the Evergreen State Fair. She spent her summers at the Monroe fair training dogs, raising rabbits, and judging. The Snohomish High School senior had a perfect grade point average. By Jack O’Donnell from Herald archives at the Everett Public Library

DVD RELEASES “Draft Day,” Grade B-: Makers of the Kevin Costner film are banking that rabid NFL fans will have as much interest in a fictional version of the annual draft as they do in the real one. Director Ivan Reitman rips back the curtain to show the process coaches and executives go through to select college football prospects for their teams. Where the film fumbles is the mix of reality and fantasy. It’s hard to look at Super Bowl XLVIII winner Seattle having the first pick — the spot reserved for the worst team in the NFL. “Mom’s Night Out,” Grade C-: Dads are forced to take care of the children while the moms enjoy a night out. The big problem is that none of the moms are interesting. Patricia Heaton sleepwalks her way through the role of Sondra, the preacher’s wife with a shady past, while Andrea Logan White’s portrayal of the nerdish Izzy is so dull she would make a wallflower look exciting. Abbie Cobb is supposed to play the bad girl of the group, Bridget, but she’s got little to do except run around and shout, “Where’s my baby?” Also new on DVD Sept. 2: “The World Wars”: History channel series that looks at three decades of 20th Century world war. “Bonanza: The Official Seventh Season-Volumes One and Two”: Michael Landon, Dan Blocker and Lorne Greene star in this TV western. “Person of Interest: The Complete Third Season”: The team suffers a devastating loss in this CBS series. “Baby Blues”: Young couple finds a mysterious doll in their new home. “Looney Tues Platinum Collection Volume 3”: Includes 50 cartoons from the 1930s to the 1960s.

BOOK REVIEW

Jack Reacher returns in ‘Personal’ “Personal” (Delacorte Press), by Lee Child Jack Reacher reads an ad in a newspaper left on a bus and knows it was meant for him in “Personal,” Lee Child’s latest thriller to feature his largerthan-life hero. The ad specifies that he call a particular individual. Less than an hour after he contacts military man Rick Shoemaker, Reacher is

on a flight to an unknown destination. An assassination attempt on the president of France has failed, thanks to bulletproof glass. The shot came from an extremely long distance, and only a few people in the world could successfully make the shot. The military wants Reacher’s opinion on likely suspects, and he can think of only one person: John Kott. Reacher arrested him 15 years ago for murder and he’s still in

jail, or so Reacher believed. When he learns that Kott is out of prison — and has a personal vendetta against him — Reacher reluctantly agrees to help. The final confrontation between Reacher and Kott is a bit of a letdown after an amazing buildup. Still, Child is the best thriller writer in the business, and “Personal” is sure to be on the best-seller lists. Jeff Ayers Associated Press

Queen not amused with selfies LONDON — It’s official. She is not amused. The U.S. ambassador to Britain has told Tatler magazine that Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II finds the obsession with mobile phone images a bit disconcerting. The monarch expressed her dismay to Matthew Barzun, who spoke with her when presenting his credentials as America’s representative. The magazine quoted Barzun as saying “she was essentially saying, ‘I miss eye contact.’ “ Some members of the royal family have posed for selfies with the public. The queen’s most famous brush with cell-phone images was at the Commonwealth Games this summer, when she accidently “photo-bombed” — popped up smiling in the background — a selfie taken by an Australian athlete.
