Father sentenced for abuse of baby In sentencing Tyler Washington, 20, to five years in prison, a judge says inexperience did not justify the man's actions, and “a 5-week-old baby is as vulnerable a victim as it could get.”

By Diana Hefley Herald Writer

EVERETT — The girl is doing better than doctors initially predicted but she likely will always suffer serious health problems

because of the abuse she endured in the first weeks of her life.

The child, now 16 months old, came to the hospital in May 2013 with a fractured skull, broken ribs and bleeding and swelling in her brain.

Her teenage father, Tyler Washington, eventually admitted that, on more than one occasion, he shook his daughter and squeezed her out of frustration. He said he “just snapped” because the baby wouldn’t stop crying and fussing.

A Snohomish County Superior Court judge Monday sentenced Washington, now 20, to five years in prison.

“I do not believe his youth or

his inexperience with children justifies his actions here,” Judge Linda Krese said.

If he couldn’t care for his daughter, the defendant had the responsibility to seek help, Krese said. He had the obligation to protect her. The judge called the abuse appalling.

“A 5-week-old baby is as vulnerable a victim as it could get,” the judge said.

No fan of development plan

She ordered Washington not to see or contact his daughter for a decade.

Krese was told that the girl has permanent brain damage that mainly affects the left side of her body. She has difficulty using her left arm and her left leg sometimes gives out. She continues to undergo therapy. The girl also See ABUSE, Page A2

MEADOWDALE — Carlin McKinley has seen the aftermath of mudslides in Meadowdale Beach Park, which runs through a gulch downhill from her house.

The washouts in the wooded preserve give her reason to worry about a development proposed about 200 feet above

her, on the same steep hillside of second-growth forest.

Seabrook Heights would include 70 homes on 13 acres, nearly a third of which is off-limits to construction. To make way for the houses, developer West View Properties wants to cut down hundreds of large trees.

The new houses and the loss of trees, McKinley fears, would add to water runoff flowing toward her and the park. If that

Carlin McKinley is fighting a proposed 70-home development 200 feet uphill of her home in Meadowdale.

EVERETT — The commanding officer of Naval Station Everett has been reassigned while the military investigates an allegation of sexual assault, the Navy said Monday.

James Duke Jr., 48, of Lake Stevens, faces a criminal courtmartial hearing, which is similar to a civilian grand jury proceeding, according to a Navy news release.

Through his attorney on Monday, Duke said he is innocent and the “target of a malicious and false allegation.”

The allegation initially was reported to the Lake Stevens Police Department in January.

Duke’s girlfriend at the time told police that he sexually assaulted her after she turned down his request for sex, Lake Stevens police Cmdr. Dennis Taylor said.

Lake Stevens police worked closely with military investigators on the case, Taylor said. Duke declined to be interviewed by detectives. The Lake Stevens case was forwarded to Snohomish County prosecutors, who notified police in June they weren’t going to file charges.

Duke’s attorney said that the allegation was retaliation for

suffers seizures, although fewer than when she was first hospitalized, Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Elise Deschenes said.

“Because she is so young it is difficult to say what the long-term effects will be on her,” Deschenes said.

Washington declined to say anything before he was sentenced.

His mother, stepfather and four friends attended Monday’s hearing.

His attorney Jennifer Rancourt told Krese that her client’s actions last year were out of character. He was overwhelmed with fatherhood and was incapable of caring for an infant, Rancourt said.

“He is here to take responsibility,” she said.

Washington was arrested about a week after his daughter was rushed to the hospital.

She was lethargic and had trouble breathing. Doctors became suspicious of the injuries and called state Child Protective Services and the Everett Police Department.

Washington told police

Baby orca spotted in Puget Sound

By Phuong Le Associated Press

LOTTERY

SEATTLE — Whale researchers are celebrating the newest member of a population of endangered killer whales that frequent Puget Sound in Washington state.

The baby orca spotted over the weekend in waters off San Juan Island is the population’s first calf born since 2012. A researcher saw it swimming between two adult females, most likely the orca’s mom and aunt, said Ken Balcomb with the Center for Whale Research, which keeps a census of the whales.

The orca is probably less than a week old, he said.

Researchers don’t know yet whether it’s a boy or a girl.

The baby is a member of the L pod, one of three extended families of whales that are closely tracked and photographed by researchers.

Its birth is reason to celebrate, Balcomb said. But he cautioned that orcas are still struggling to recover because of pollution, lack of food and other reasons.

The newborn orca brings the number of killer whales in the Puget Sound population to 79, Balcomb said. Two whales were confirmed missing and presumed dead this year.

He later admitted he was responsible for hurting the baby. The defendant broke down in tears during his interview with police, saying he had an anger problem and was sorry for taking it out on his daughter.

Washington pleaded guilty in July to second-degree assault of a child. As part of his plea agreement, Washington acknowledged that his daughter was a particularly vulnerable victim.

That admission meant Washington faced more time beyond the standard prison range, which is 2 ½ to 3 ½ years. Krese could have sentenced him to up to a decade in prison.

Deschenes agreed to the five-year term, citing Washington’s age and his lack of any prior criminal convictions.

CENTER FOR WHALE RESEARCH

A baby orca swims with two adults in the waters of Puget Sound near Seattle.

The unique population, known as southern resident killer whales, numbered more than 140 animals decades ago but declined to a low of 71 in the 1970s when dozens of the mammals were captured live to be displayed at marine parks and aquariums across the country.

Orcas were listed as endangered in 2005, after local and regional efforts began in the 2000s to conserve them.

“The resident orcas that eat salmon are declining because the salmon population is also endangered,” Balcomb said Monday.

“What we have to do is get really serious about wild

salmon restoration and recovery, which is the food supply for these guys.”

He said billions of dollars have spent on salmon recovery, but orcas are still in decline. “What’s the issue here? Overharvests?

Dams? Military exercises?

What? We have to figure it out,” he added.

The striking black and white whales have come to symbolize the Pacific Northwest.

Individual whales are identified by slight variations in the shape of their dorsal fins and distinctive whitishgray patch of pigment behind the dorsal fin, called a saddle patch.

The whales are given designations based on

whether they belong to J, K or L pod. The newest member is L-120.

Dave Ellifrit, a researcher with the center, came across the newborn Saturday while doing routine photo identification of whales, Balcomb said.

Killer whales can be found in many oceans, but the distinct Puget Sound population can be found most summer months and fall in Washington waters.

They primarily eat fish, rather than other marine mammals. They travel in three families, or the J, K and L pods. Whales from the same pod tend to spend most of their time together, often grouping around older females.

The Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office investigated but did not find evidence that a crime had occurred.

That disturbance involved an argument over a paternity test and child support, police records show.

Duke’s administrative

reassignment is not an indication of guilt, according to the Navy news release.

Cmdr. Jeff Caulk, the executive officer of Naval Station Everett, has temporarily assumed the duties of commanding officer.

Before taking command in Everett, Duke was special assistant for Navy aircraft carrier reactors operations. During his Navy career, Duke

Woman accused of breaking her baby’s arm The Everett mother was arrested one day before she planned to leave the state.

By Eric Stevick Herald Writer

EVERETT — An Everett woman whose 1-year-old daughter suffered a broken arm in

February has been arrested for investigation of child assault.

Ashley S. Thomas, 22, initially denied causing the break, described in a police report as “a serious fracture” of the child’s humorous bone. Treatment at Seattle Children’s Hospital required inserting a surgical pin to repair the bone.

Thomas first told a social worker that the child hurt herself when

she jumped from a sofa to the stroller, according to court records.

No one in the apartment at the time said they knew how the child was injured.

Later, a relative allegedly told a counselor that the family lied to Child Protective Services out of fear of losing custody of the girl and her son, who was 6 weeks old. The relative also said Thomas would give her daughter Nyquil

each night to make her sleep.

When an Everett police officer interviewed Thomas, she allegedly confessed to grabbing her daughter and swinging her from the couch.

“She used more force than normal because she was angry, and felt something pop and the child cried,” the officer wrote. “The next morning her arm was not working, was painful and swollen.”

Thomas later allegedly demonstrated during a video-recorded interview what she had done, according to a police report.

Thomas was arrested Friday afternoon, one day before she reportedly was planning to move to Georgia with her children.

Bail was kept at $10,000 during a court hearing Monday. Pending trial, Thomas isn’t allowed to have contact with any minor children.

PHOTO COURTESY CAMP MARIPOSA SAN DIEGO

Aliyah Arroyo, 12, has participated in the Moyer Foundation’s Camp Mariposa in San Diego. The camp, which has contracted with Compass Health to provide camps in Snohomish County, helps kids who are affected by the addiction of family members.

Support for addicts’ kids Camp Mariposa in Stanwood gives children hope and comfort.

By Sharon Salyer Herald Writer

STANWOOD — Karen Moyer, wife of longtime Mariners pitcher Jamie Moyer, saw the impact a family member’s addiction can have on a child.

“I had custody of my niece for a year,” she said. Her mom was battling drug addiction.

Children growing up in such a home can experience a lack of confidence, a feeling that somehow they caused the problem

and isolation that comes with thinking that there’s no one they can talk to about what they’re facing.

When Karen Moyer looked for a program to help her niece, she couldn’t find one. Moyer decided she wanted to find an answer, not only for her niece but for other children, too.

She and her husband had previously established Camp Erin.

Since its founding in 2000, it has grown into a nationwide network of free bereavement camps for children coping with the death of someone close to them.

Karen Moyer wanted to apply that same idea — a free camp for kids dealing with tough emotional issues, for children

between the ages of 9 and 12 affected by a family member’s addiction.

That camp, called Mariposa, will be available for the first time locally beginning later this month in Stanwood through a collaboration with Compass Health. The series of six weekend camps continues through June. The Stanwood camp is the sixth site established by the Moyer Foundation, with other camps in Florida, Indiana, Los Angeles, Pennsylvania and San Diego. The foundation plans to open camps in Washington, D.C., and New Orleans next year.

“We really are the only national program that offers a camp model,” said Brian Maus,

Camp Mariposa’s program manager.

About 500 children have participated in the camps since the first one was established in 2007.

Many of the kids participating in Camp Mariposa have never been camping before, Maus said. Like any camp, there’s a variety of activities, including swimming, boating, hiking and an evening around a campfire.

It gives kids a chance to experience a sense of independence and a chance to connect with other children who have the same mix of confusion and conflicting emotions as they do.

“So often, kids feel that they’re See MARIPOSA, Page A4

EVERETT — A crash involving a car and school bus closed Highway 99 and sent five people to hospitals Monday afternoon.

There were no children on the bus at the time, Edmonds School District spokeswoman DJ Jakala said.

The bus had taken students to their homes outside of Edmonds School District boundaries. The McKinney-Vento Homeless Education Assistance Act provides federal money to transport children from temporary homes outside of their original school districts.

The collision occurred about 3:10 p.m. along Highway 99 near Airport Road. The crash involved the bus, passenger car, a pole and a fire hydrant, officials said.

The crash caused backups in both directions, Washington State Patrol trooper Mark Francis said.

Two men in their late teens or early 20s were transported to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. The other three were taken to Swedish/Edmonds hospital, Snohomish County Fire District 1 spokeswoman Leslie Hynes said.

One of those people taken to Swedish was the bus driver.

One of the men taken to Harborview suffered critical injuries, Francis said.

A passenger in the car was ejected into a parking lot. He was taken to Swedish.

The cause of the crash was still under investigation Monday evening. The crash sheared off a fire hydrant, but it didn’t spray water, Hynes said.

“Our hearts go out to all the people involved in the accident,” Jakala said. “When you see the condition of the car, it is very disheartening.”

New Sultan Boys & Girls Club breaks ground today The facility will sport a gym, game room, computer lab, kitchen and more.

SULTAN — After a Christmas Eve fire destroyed the Boys & Girls Club here in 2010, the nonprofit is building a new home.

A ground-breaking ceremony is set for 1 p.m. Tuesday at the site of the new building at 605

First St. The site is just down the street from the club’s previous location. The 2010 fire gutted the clubhouse and a smaller daycare building next door. Since the blaze, the club has operated out of borrowed space at the Volunteers of America’s Sky Valley Resource Center, about a half-block from site of the fire.

Now the club is building a permanent home at the center.

Plans for the 13,500-square-foot building include a gymnasium, a classroom, a computer lab, a

kitchen and a games room.

Before the fire, the Sultan Boys & Girls club had about 525 members, representatives from the nonprofit said. That number has since declined to about 300 with some children going to other clubs nearby.

The new building is expected to serve about 1,000 members and also children who come in occasionally.

The heroic acts should go beyond the scope of nominees’ jobs, and be verified by police reports, news articles or other credible sources.

Chuck Morrison, executive director of the agency’s northwest Washington region, noted that

Development Director Stephanie Selin said.

The building is also slated to house a preschool and a teen center. The club did not previously have programs for teens or a gym.

Selin said construction is expected to be completed for most of the building by early 2015. Work on the gym is to be finished after the rest of the club, hopefully by the end of next year, she said.

The first phase of construction is estimated to cost $1.3 million.

“This year we’ve been challenged by extreme disasters, and we’ve seen exceptional individuals step up to respond.” Nominations will be accepted until Sept.

The nonprofit plans to cover that with insurance money, Selin said. The city of Sultan, which owned the original club buildings, released about $1 million from insurance to the club after the fire.

The nonprofit’s leaders are hoping to reduce the project’s overall costs, previously estimated at about $3.3 million, by completing construction in two phases. Bids for construction of the gym are expected to go out

responsible in some way for the addiction or responsible for caring for someone in their family with dependency issues,” said Megan Boyle, a program manager at Compass Health. “They know something’s different with their family, but they aren’t sure what.”

The camps are designed to allow kids to participate over multiple weekends.

“For so many of the kids we work with, they didn’t know other kids who had a parent who struggled with addiction,” Maus said.

“It’s a very isolating, lonely experience.”

An estimated 8.3 million children in the United States live in a home with a parent who has an alcohol or drug problem, according to the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration. These children are nearly three times more likely to be abused and more than four times more likely to be neglected, according to the federal Office on Child Abuse and Neglect.

The goal of the Mariposa camps is to not only help children cope with their family’s challenges but to help keep those kids from

abusing drugs or alcohol themselves.

That’s because kids living in homes with addiction problems are much more likely to use alcohol and drugs themselves in early in adolescence and then go on to develop their own problems with addiction in young adulthood, said Kevin King, an associate professor of psychology at the University of Washington.

“If you can get kids to that age 18 and they haven’t tried drugs, alcohol and cigarettes, their chances of developing addiction, even with a family history, drops significantly,” Maus said. “The goal is to break that cycle of addiction.”

Compass Health has a three-year contract with the Moyer Foundation to run the local camps. The foundation is paying Compass Health $60,000 to get the camps up and running. Foundation funding declines to $40,000 by the third year, and Compass is expected to find ongoing financial backing thereafter, said Tom Sebastian, Compass Health’s chief executive.

The camps bring together kids who have had common experiences, making it a comfortable place to talk, Boyle said.

More about the camp Camp Mariposa, a free camp offered by the Moyer Foundation and Compass Health, begins this month for children who are living with a family member addicted to drugs or alcohol. The camp is free for children 9 to 12 and will be held at Stanwood-area camps.

Scheduled camp dates: Sept. 26‐28; Nov. 21‐23; Jan. 23‐25; March 20‐22; May 15‐17; and June 12‐14.

Compass Health is looking for volunteers to help kids at Camp Mariposa. Volunteers will work with Compass staff to provide educational activities, games, entertainment and support. Volunteers need to commit to working a minimum of three of the six weekends the camps are held.

Her father, Arturo Arroyo, 36, who has custody of Aliyah, said she was able to see that other students had gone through similar ups and downs of life.

Some of her fellow campers had experienced major depression, he said. “She felt good that she was able to talk and vent and have fun. It was a positive experience. She was enlightened,” Arturo Arroyo said.

Selin said much of the funding for the project is in place. The Legislature in 2011 awarded the club $500,000 in state money.

The nonprofit also received $340,000 from Snohomish County. It recently gained approval for another $340,000 from the state.

Selin said working with the city, county, the state and other nonprofits has been critical to opening the new club.

of Corrections to secure additional funding for a program to reduce prison violence.

Researcher Teri Herold-Prayer and her boss, Michael Evans, said they told administrators that the agency’s assertions last year that it had made headway in quelling inmate violence in cell blocks in two Eastern Washington prisons where it was trying out behavioral classes and positive reinforcement were false.

The Legislature provided $1.8 million last year to expand the program.

The News Tribune of Tacoma reported Saturday that the employees say they faced retaliation and were demoted either in position or pay.

Corrections would not comment on circumstances surrounding the pending litigation.

Probe continues in fatal Everett fire EVERETT — Police continue to investigate the death of a man whose body was pulled from a south Everett apartment fire in May. The Snohomish County Medical Examiner’s Office recently determined that Danny J. Gregory Sr., 51, died from burns and smoke inhalation.

That finding will be folded into the Everett Police Department’s active investigation, officer Aaron Snell said Monday.

The cause of the fire has not been determined.

No details are being released at this time, Snell said.

The fire started about 2:45 a.m. May 23 in the “A”

building of the Candlewood Apartments, at the intersection of W. Casino Road and 10th Avenue W. Gregory lived there with his adult son. Police obtained a judge’s permission to search the apartment shortly after the fire.

Neighbors reported hearing breaking glass and called 911. Officers saw smoke and flames and summoned firefighters. Dozens were displaced after the blaze, and two others were injured.

The “A” building at the apartment complex also caught fire in 2012. That was an accident attributed to a clothing iron.

Everett man dies in North Cascades fall OKANOGAN — The Okanogan County sheriff says a climber was killed in a rappelling accident on Liberty Bell Mountain in the North Cascades.

Sheriff Frank Rogers said Eric Anderson, 28, of Everett, was climbing with his wife Saturday when one of his ropes came free while rappelling off the side of the mountain. His body was recovered by a Snohomish County sheriff’s helicopter.

Seattle: Tunnel makes progress Bertha, the brokendown tunneling machine in downtown Seattle, moved forward three feet during recent testing, while workers building an underground circular pit that will allow access to the machine finished installing the last of 84 large concrete cylinders known as piles.

Workers are building an 83-foot-wide underground pit that will support a large crane designed to pull Bertha out of the ground so it can be fixed. Work on the 2-mile tunnel that will move Highway 99 underground stalled in December after Bertha hit a pipe and quit working.

Seattle Tunnel Partners expects to resume drilling on the tunnel in March 2015.

Wenatchee: Mount Stuart hiker rescued A hiker suffered a broken arm and hip injury in a fall Sunday while descending Mount Stuart in Chelan County.

The sheriff’s office said Joanne Fulford, 46, lost her footing in a snow field and slid into large rocks at the 8,700-foot level of the mountain. A helicopter from Whidbey Island Naval Air Station responded and hoisted her off the mountain.

She was transported to Providence Regional Medical Center Everett where she was reported in stable condition.

Olympic Nat’l Park: Lost hiker found safe A hiker who has been overdue since Thursday in Olympic National Park is safe. The park service said Kelly Hall walked to the Elwha Ranger Station about 10 a.m.

Monday and contacted

a park employee. The park said Hall is safe and well. About 20 searchers on the ground plus a plane and helicopter had been looking for the 64-year-old Bainbridge Island man. He left Aug. 30 on a six-day, 39-mile loop hike in the northeast corner of the park, southeast of Port Angeles. His family reported him missing Thursday night after he failed to show up as planned.

Mont.: Moses Lake man to be sentenced A Moses Lake man faces sentencing Friday in federal court on charges he led an interstate meth-trafficking ring that exploited workers in eastern Montana’s oil patch. Robert Farrell Armstrong pleaded guilty in January to possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine.

Prosecutors want Armstrong sent to prison for up to 22 years. They point to the 50-year-old defendant’s extensive criminal record and say in Montana he ran a network of dealers and enforcers selling large quantities of almost-pure meth in Sidney, Fairview, Billings, Big Timber, Columbus, Livingston and Bozeman. Armstrong’s public defender, Anthony Gallagher, is seeking a 10-year sentence.

Gallagher said prosecutors overstated both Armstrong’s leadership role in the trafficking ring and his criminal history.

Wyo.: State wants Oregon coal port Wyoming is appealing Oregon’s recent decision to deny an application to build a coal terminal at the Port of Morrow, on the Columbia River.

Wyoming, the nation’s largest coal-producer, has been pressing for access to ports to export coal to Asia, but it has run into stiff opposition in the Northwest. Gov. Matt Mead said Monday that Oregon’s decision last month to block an application from a subsidiary of Ambre Energy, an Australian company, to build the terminal at the Port of Morrow violates the U.S. Constitution’s Commerce Clause. Julie Curtis, communications manager for the Oregon Department of State Lands, said Monday that in addition to Wyoming’s appeal, the agency had received appeals from the Port of Morrow and from Coyote Island Terminal LLC, an Ambre Energy subsidiary. She said more were possible by day’s end.

U.S. to broaden anti-terror effort Obama, in speech Wednesday, to target Islamic State

By Lara Jakes and Julie Pace Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama will go on the offensive against the Islamic State group with a broader counterterror mission than he previously has been willing to embrace, U.S. officials said Monday. The new plan, however, still won’t commit U.S. troops to a ground war against the brutal insurgency and will rely heavily for now on allies to pitch in for what could be an extended campaign.

Obama’s more aggressive posture — which officials say will target Islamic State militants comprehensively and not just to protect U.S. interests or help resolve humanitarian disasters — reflects a new direction for a president who campaigned to end the war in Iraq and has generally been deeply reluctant to use U.S. military might since he took office in 2009.

“Almost every single country on Earth has a role to play in eliminating the ISIL threat and the evil that it represents,” Secretary of State John Kerry told reporters Monday, using an acronym for the Islamic State.

He said nations around the world are seeking to defeat the militancy with a coalition “built to endure for the months, and perhaps years, to come.”

The U.S. has already launched more than 100 airstrikes against militant targets in Iraq, including a new series that the military said killed an unusually large number of Islamic State fighters. A Central Command statement Monday said the strikes hit targets near the Haditha Dam, and a spokesman, Maj. Curtis

ASSOCIATED PRESS

President Barack Obama speaks at Celtic Manor in Newport, Wales, on Friday. Officials say U.S. strategy will build on current airstrikes and work with the nascent coalition he began to build in Wales.

Kellogg, said 50 to 70 fighters were targeted and most were believed to have been killed.

Now, after the beheadings of two American freelance journalists, Obama is considering expanding the airstrikes campaign into Syria, where the Islamic State has a safe haven.

Obama has long avoided taking military action in Syria, concerned about indirectly assisting President Bashar Assad. But White House spokesman Josh Earnest suggested Monday that the U.S. could be moving in that direction, saying Obama was willing “to go wherever is necessary to strike those who are threatening Americans.”

Obama is to describe his plans in a speech Wednesday. By that time, Kerry will be headed to Saudi Arabia and Jordan to meet with Mideast leaders and gauge their level of commitment to a growing worldwide coalition that is uniting against the Islamic State. Kerry said nations from Canada to Estonia to Kuwait to

Australia have already contributed a mix of assistance.

In a call Monday evening, Obama congratulated new Iraqi Prime Minister Haider alAbadi for the approval of a new government. The White House said al-Abadi “expressed his commitment to work with all communities in Iraq as well as regional and international partners to strengthen Iraq’s capabilities” to fight the Islamic State militants.

But beyond airstrikes, much of the international strategy against the Islamic State covers the same ground as it has for the past several months.

Two senior U.S. officials said it will continue to curb foreign fighters and funding flowing to militants, aim to persuade the new Iraqi government to give more power to its Sunni citizens in hopes of discouraging them from joining the insurgency, and strengthen its forces and moderate Syrian rebels in their respective battles against the Islamic State.

Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and

the United Arab Emirates have for months worked to combat the Islamic State either by sharing intelligence, sending humanitarian aid, providing military assistance to rebels, or punishing suspected foreign fighters. Broadened U.S. airstrikes would help cover Iraqi military forces, particularly the Peshmerga forces in the country’s Kurdish north, and Western-backed elements of the Syrian opposition, aiming to help them make gains against the militants.

But Western leaders still appear divided on whether to launch airstrikes in Syria. U.S. officials said Obama is leaning toward doing so as part of an international effort, and British Prime Minister David Cameron last week said he has not ruled them out.

Obama is also expected to press congressional lawmakers to approve $500 million in lethal aid to the Syrian rebels.

He proposed the aid earlier this year, but his request has stalled on Capitol Hill.

The U.S. also has pressured Sunni rulers in Qatar to prosecute private financiers in their nations who are believed to be funneling money to the militants. And the West is pressing Turkey to shut its borders with Syria and Iraq to restrict the travel of Islamic State militants and keep foreign fighters from joining the battle.

In Cairo, the 22-nation Arab League agreed to take urgent measures to combat the Islamic State through political, defense, security and legal means. A resolution outlining the league’s intent did not specify how that might happen, and it did not explicitly back U.S. military action against the extremists.

WHO: Ebola cases to soar in Liberia

By Jonathan Paye-Layleh and Sarah Dilorenzo Associated Press

MONROVIA, Liberia — The United States and Britain will send medical equipment and military personnel to help contain West Africa’s Ebola outbreak, as the World Health Organization warned Monday that many thousands of new infections are expected in Liberia in the coming weeks.

The Ebola outbreak is the largest on record. It has spread from Guinea to Sierra Leone, Liberia, Nigeria and Senegal and killed more than 2,000 people. An “exponential increase” in new cases is expected in the hardest-hit countries in coming weeks, the U.N. health agency warned.

“As soon as a new Ebola treatment facility is opened, it immediately fills to overflowing with patients, pointing to a large but previously invisible caseload,” WHO said in a statement about the situation in Liberia. “Many thousands of new cases are expected in Liberia over the coming three weeks.”

So far, more than 3,500 people have been infected, nearly half of them in Liberia. The outbreak has taken a particularly heavy toll on health workers.

In response to the spiraling

ASSOCIATED PRESS

A health worker is sprayed with disinfectant after he worked with Ebola patients at a clinic in Monrovia, Liberia, on Monday.

disaster, President Barack Obama said Sunday that the U.S. military would help to set up isolation units and provide security for public health workers responding to the outbreak.

Military personnel will set up a 25-bed field hospital in the Liberian capital, Col. Steven Warren, a Pentagon spokesman, said Monday.

The clinic will be used to treat health care workers, a high number of whom have become infected.

Once set up, the center will be turned over to the Liberian government.

There is no plan to staff it with U.S. military personnel,

Warren said.

Liberia welcomed the news.

“This is not Liberia’s particular fight; it is a fight that the international community must engage very, very seriously and bring all possible resources to bear,” said Information Minister Lewis Brown.

Britain will open a 62-bed treatment center in Sierra Leone in the coming weeks.

It will be operated by military engineers and medical staff with help from the charity Save the Children, Britain’s Department for International Development said Monday.

The clinic also will include a section for treating health care

workers, offering them highquality, specialist care.

Currently, there are about 570 beds in Ebola treatment centers in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia, the hardesthit countries, and the World Health Organization says nearly 1,000 more are needed, the vast majority of those in Liberia.

But experts say it’s not just beds, but more international and local health workers that are needed. Doctors Without Borders welcomed the U.S. announcement but urged Washington to not simply set up clinics but also to staff them.

Many health workers have been reluctant to respond to the crisis out of concern that there isn’t enough protective equipment to keep them safe.

Ebola is spread through the bodily fluids of people who show symptoms, and doctors and nurses are at high risk of infection because they work closely with the sick.

In Liberia alone, 152 health care workers have been infected with Ebola and 79 have died, WHO said, noting that country had too few doctors and nurses even before the crisis.

“Every infection or death of a doctor or nurse depletes response capacity significantly,” it said.

Fourth American to be flown to home for care Associated Press ATLANTA — A fourth American who contracted Ebola in West Africa was expected to arrive in the U.S. for care Tuesday and will be treated at an Atlanta hospital where two other aid workers successfully recovered from the disease, the hospital said Monday.

Air Force spokesman Lt. Col. James Wilson said the patient, as in past cases, would be

flown into Dobbins Air Reserve Base outside Atlanta. Emory University Hospital said in a news release that the patient would be treated in its isolation unit but cited confidentiality in not releasing more information about the person.

The World Health Organization, however, said one of its doctors who has been working in an Ebola treatment center in Sierra Leone has tested positive for the disease.

It said the doctor was in stable condition Monday in Freetown and will be evacuated. The State Department said the doctor was from the U.S. Last month, two aid workers who contracted Ebola while working in Liberia were treated successfully at Emory.

A third patient, American doctor Rick Sacra, who is being treated at the Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, appeared

to be better tolerating his experimental treatments Monday, but his recovery remains uncertain.

The 51-year-old remains in stable condition.

Sacra is being treated with an experimental drug that is different than the one given to the two Americans treated for Ebola at Emory. Dr. Kent Brantly and Nancy Writebol, who also work for SIM, have recovered.

ACROSS THE U.S.

VA chief: Agency is too complicated WASHINGTON — The Veterans Affairs Department with its 14 different password-protected websites is too complicated for most veterans to navigate, new Veterans Affairs Secretary Robert McDonald said Monday, promising to make it easier for them to get disability benefits, health care, job training and other benefits.

McDonald unveiled what he called a three-point plan to rebuild trust among veterans, improve service and set a course for the agency’s long-term future. The plan should be implemented

by Veterans Day, Nov. 11, he said.

Medicaid ER visits A new study finds that many people newly covered by Medicaid under the federal health law are seeking treatment in hospital emergency rooms. That’s one of the most expensive settings for health care. The analysis released Monday by the Colorado Hospital Association provides a real-time glimpse at how the nation’s newest social program is working. It also found signs that newly insured Medicaid patients admitted to hospitals may be sicker than patients previously covered by the program, which serves more than 60 million lowincome and disabled people.

Ill.: Serious illness hits kids Hundreds of children in more than 10 states have been sickened by a severe respiratory illness that public health officials say may be caused by an uncommon virus similar to the germ that causes the common cold.

The suspected germ, enterovirus 68, is an uncommon strain of a very common family of viruses that typically hit from summertime through autumn. The virus can cause mild coldlike symptoms including runny noses, coughing and wheezing but Mark Pallansch, director of the viral diseases division at the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said this summer’s cases are unusually severe and include serious breathing problems.

Arizona: Record rainfall The remnants of Hurricane Norbert pushed into the desert Southwest and swamped Phoenix with record rainfall for a single day, flooding freeways and sending rescuers scrambling to get drivers out of inundated cars. At least two people died in the flooding, including a woman who was swept away in her car by rushing water and became trapped against a bridge. In addition, a 76-yearold woman drowned in floodwaters.

AROUND THE WORLD Britain: Vote on Scotland Britain’s political leaders scrambled Monday to offer Scotland greater autonomy in a last-minute bid to stave off independence, as the pound sank on opinion polls suggesting separatists are gaining ground. A yes vote in next week’s referendum would end Scotland’s 307-year-old union with England and plunge Britain into uncharted constitutional and economic waters. The Conservative, Labour and Liberal Democrat parties — all of whom oppose independence — are preparing to offer Scotland even more financial independence, including greater tax-raising powers, in a bid to avert a yes vote.

Chile: Subway bombing A bomb exploded in a Santiago subway station Monday, injuring at least seven people, the most damaging in a string of bombs planted around the capital this year. At least 28 bombs have been found across Santiago so far this year though some have not exploded and none of the others caused any injuries. In many cases, anarchist groups have claimed responsibility, demanding freedom for two anarchists imprisoned in Spain. No one had claimed responsibility for Monday’s attack.

Nicaragua: No meteorite?

Outside experts are raising doubts about whether a 39-foot crater found in Managua was caused by a meteorite strike, as the country’s government has said. NASA said the lack of any witness accounts of a fireball lighting up the nighttime sky suggests something else was behind the blast around midnight Saturday. Nicaragua’s government has said a relatively small meteorite was responsible for the crater.

Home Depot confirms data breach Associated Press NEW YORK — Home Depot confirmed on Monday that its payment systems have been breached, and says the hack could affect customers who used credit and debit cards at U.S. and Canadian stores.

The largest U.S. home improvement chain says it has not found evidence that debit card PINs were compromised, and nor that

online customers or shoppers at stores in Mexico are affected. The company did not say how many cards might be affected, but did say that customers will not be held responsible for fraudulent charges to their accounts.

Home Depot said it is looking into the breach and is working with outside firms, its banking partners, and the U.S. Secret Service. The Atlanta company says the investigation is focused on

the months since April.

Home Depot Inc. said last week that it was working with banks and law enforcement to investigate a potential hack but had not confirmed a breach of its data.

The home improvement chain is the latest retailer to experience a data breach. Others include Target, grocer Supervalu, restaurant chain P.F. Chang’s and the thrift store operations of Goodwill. The breaches have rattled shoppers’

confidence in the security of their personal data and pushed retailers, banks and card companies to increase security by speeding the adoption of microchips in U.S. credit and debit cards.

Home Depot plans to have chip-enabled checkout terminals at all of its U.S. stores by the end of this year.

The company’s shares fell 62 cents to $90.20 in aftermarket trading.

Ryanair orders 100 737 MAXs NEW YORK — European airline Ryanair has committed to order 100 of Boeing’s 737 MAX 200 airplanes, valued at $11 billion at list prices.

Ryanair also has options to buy another 100 of the 737 MAX 200s.

The 737 MAX 200 is considered more fuel-efficient than most other current single-aisle airplanes and can accommodate up to 200 seats. Buyers often get steep discounts.

Ryanair runs more than 1,600 flights daily. CEO Michael O’Leary said Monday that the 737 MAX 200 order will allow Ryanair to reduce its costs and airfares. It will also expand Ryanair’s fleet to 520 airplanes by 2024.

Consumer borrowing jumps $26 billion U.S. consumers stepped up their borrowing in July, led by rising auto loans and higher credit card balances. The Federal Reserve said Monday that overall consumer borrowing jumped $26 billion in July to $3.24 trillion. The 9.7 percent increase matches April’s gain as the largest in three years.

French rebellion in lavender fields Farmers are protesting European Union rules that label the plant’s fragrant oil a chemical toxin.

By Sylvie Corbet Associated Press

PARIS — The sweet smell of lavender is tinged with bitterness this year in the south of France, as farmers who harvest the flower protest European regulations linking the plant to chemical toxins.

Billboards proclaiming “Lavender is not a chemical” dot fields that yield what in Provence is known as blue gold — lavender

oil, worth over 100 euros a kilogram ($60 a pound). The plant is cultivated by around 1,500 producers, representing 30,000 full-time jobs that include catering to the millions of tourists in the south of France who come for the panoramic views of purple fields.

For many, Provence is synonymous with lavender, both fine lavender — used for perfumes, cosmetics and aromatherapy — and hybrid lavender,

called lavandin.

Lavandin is cheapest and used to scent soaps, detergents and air fresheners.

And they fear European Union rules adopted last year and due to come in force by 2018 will threaten that.

According to regulators, lavender oil’s potential to produce allergies places it firmly within regulations on chemical toxins.

That means lavender products will have to bear labels involving bold black and red warning labels with messages such as “CAN BE FATAL IF SWALLOWED OR INHALED.”

Producers say the rules are too extreme — they note that lavender oil allergies usually produce only rashes — and too expensive for small farmers.

Lavender producers are now fighting “to survive,” said Francis Vidal, honorary president of APAL, an organization of lavender essential oil producers. In addition to the billboards, the group has organized an online petition, signed by over 15,000 people.

WASHINGTON — The corporate executives who decide whether U.S. workers get meaningful raises have looked at the broader economy and have a message: Don’t expect a pay increase anytime soon.

And if you’re counting on a full-time job offer in the future, your prospects may be dimming.

That’s the future that many U.S. executives envision.

More than 40 percent of the respondents foresee lower pay and benefits for workers.

Roughly half favor outsourcing work over hiring staffers. A growing share prefer part-time employees. Nearly half would rather invest in new technology than hire or retain workers.

At the same time, it’s becoming harder for the executives to find skilled workers, according to the survey results.

Jan Rivkin, one of the survey’s lead authors, suggested that a failure by companies to develop a skilled workforce could ultimately hurt those companies and the competitiveness of the U.S. economy.

Advocates point out that lavender oil was used as an antiseptic until the beginning of the 20th century, and even today is prized for its healing and calming properties.

“Lavender has been used for thousands of years,” Vidal said. “We never heard of any serious problems. Instead, we know that lavender oil helped save tens of thousands human lives.”

middle and working class Americans are the canary in our coal mine,” said Rivkin, a Harvard business professor. “Eventually, that will come back to haunt business.”

The survey reflects the unevenness of the recovery from the Great Recession.

Since the recession officially ended more than five years ago, many of the gains in employment, income and wealth have failed to circulate through the entire economy.

Few workers have received meaningful pay raises. Median household incomes, adjusted for inflation, are below their pre-recession levels, according to estimates by Sentier Research.

The median income was $54,045 in July, about 4.6 percent lower than when the recession began in late 2007.

Commission acknowledges that any substance whose contents depend on the amount of sun it receives and the kind of soil it springs from is difficult to classify as a chemical product.

“Natural substances whose composition is variable require more effort and expertise in order to be registered compared to ‘classical’ industrial chemicals. Other products subject to natural variations, like wine for example, aren’t covered by the chemicals directive but are governed by the relevant food safety and sanitary rules,” the commission said in a document provided to the AP. EU authorities met with lavender producers in April

The survey suggests that incomes aren’t likely to increase much anytime soon. Forty-one percent of respondents see lower wages and benefits ahead; just 27 percent expect pay raises.

The survey’s responses run counter to some traditional economic models.

Historically, a falling unemployment rate — the U.S. rate has dropped steadily to 6.1 percent — tends to spur competition among employers for workers and leads them to raise wages and salaries.

The survey found that many companies are reluctant to add jobs if other alternatives exist. Only 25 percent said they preferred investing in employees, compared with 46 percent who would rather spend on technology. Forty-nine percent favored outsourcing work over hiring.

The companies have become more dependent on part-timers in the past three years and say it’s harder to fill skilled positions.

and are now working on ways to help producers to conform to the law. Proposals are to be made this autumn, according to the commission document.

But producers claim lavender oil should simply be reclassified under agricultural products.

French producers don’t oppose mentioning a potential allergy risk on their product, Vidal said, but they are adamantly against the kinds of dire labels that can be found on chemicals used in industrial processes, such as hydrochloric acid or cleaning products.

“There is a risk being linked to a chemical, and can lead to confusion for consumers,” said Emilie Zamora, in charge

The median compensation for a chief executive at a publicly traded company topped $10.5 million last year, according to the Associated Press.

The survey report notes that companies could invest more in education to improve workers’ skills.

Companies tend to donate to schools for computers, backpacks and scholarships, rather than programs that might better prepare students for careers.

The survey drew on responses from 1,947 Harvard Business School graduates, ranging in age from 26 to 98. Among the respondents who are working, 40 percent said they had a title of chief executive or its equivalent.

The economic recovery has left many executives feeling more optimistic about the competitiveness of the U.S. economy compared with the first survey

of alumni taken three years ago.

Slightly less than half say the economy is becoming less competitive relative to other countries. That marks an improvement from 71 percent who said so in 2011 and 58 percent who did in 2012.

These executives have reasons to be more upbeat.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index closed last week at a record high. Stock gains have been fueled in part by solid profits from publicly traded companies.

Many are small farmers who couldn’t afford the expensive procedure, Vidal said.

Lavender farmers have received support from Raymond Chaillan, a French perfume creator whose nose helped create the scents for Opium, Anaïs Anaïs and Parfum d’Hermes.

“This new directive will foreshadow the death of the plantations of lavender, of hybrid lavender, and the sage from the southeast of France, this agriculture of the dry mountains,” Chaillan wrote in a statement to support lavender producers. “It will further reduce the perfumers’ palette, limiting their creativity.”

Whole Foods, Instacart join forces for deliveries Austin AmericanStatesman Whole Foods Market said Monday it is launching a new, national grocery delivery and pickup service, part of a major initiative as the Austin, Texas-based organic foods giant looks to expand its footprint against a growing list of fierce competitors.

Whole Foods said it is partnering with San Francisco-based Instacart, the fast-growing, online grocery delivery service, to launch the formalized partnership in 15 major U.S. cities.

With the move, Whole Foods becomes the first national Instacart partner to offer both delivery and in-store pickup, which lets customers place orders through the Instacart website or

mobile app.

The two companies will pilot the in-store pickup service allowing customers to pick up orders at select Austin and Boston locations in the coming month, executives said.

Although Instacart already began delivery service from Whole Foods Markets in recent months, the game changer with Monday’s announcement is that the San Francisco company will now have an embedded shopper in the organic food stores to speed up orders. Previously, Instacart shoppers would make rounds to different retailers after orders were placed.

Instacart has added a string of new cities just this month. It already delivers from Whole Foods and other retailers in Seattle and other large cities.

IN OUR VIEW | The state Forest Practices Board

After Oso, putting safety first In the aftermath of the Oso mudslide, policymakers took stock: Are there meaningful steps the state and Snohomish County can take to limit future slide-related loss of life?

Even a common sense, “what if” inquiry is sidelined by the liability specter, especially inference of lax zoning or muddled land-use practices.

The Joint SR 530 Commission can scrutinize the geology and the emergency response, for example, but it can’t “act as a substitute for the courts in any way,” per its operating principles, and needs to avoid questions of cause or fault.

Thankfully, there are options that safely navigate the liability mine field. In May, state Lands Commissioner Peter Goldmark

pushed a new rule requiring a detailed geotechnical report on applications for timber-cutting permits near unstable slopes.

(The rule doesn’t apply to already approved cuts.)

As The Herald reported Monday, the state Forest Practices Board hopes to codify the rule. And it’s zeroing in on groundwater-recharge zones and areas with high glacial sediment where deep-seated landslides often occur — a pattern visible though the use of Lidar technology.

“We’re making good progress toward increasing our management scrutiny,” said Dave Somers, Snohomish County Council Chairman and a board member. “I think there are still questions about what we do

with this information particularly where the public and public resources are at risk.”

The scary part: On Thursday, the board was told of 45 approved timber-cut applications since 2003 close to deep-seated landslides and recharge zones. The board will learn more details about the applications at their November meeting. Somers also asked why unstable-slope evaluations don’t factor in whether people are living nearby. It’s a humansare-irrelevant policy that needs to go.

A moratorium on timber harvests near unstable slopes, while the safest option, isn’t politically tenable. The acid test will be what specific rules and enforcement the Department

of Natural Resources presents at the Forest Practices Board’s November meeting. It can’t be window dressing, and the onus is on Goldmark to put the public interest first.

Somers deserves praise for his post-Oso leadership. On Aug. 27, he and the other members of the County Council sent a polite nudge memo to Snohomish County Executive John Lovick, underlining the council’s two emergency ordinances from June, including a request for a work plan from the executive and any proposed policy changes for development near landslide-hazard areas.

This is hard work, but the mission is plain: When in doubt, err on the side of public safety.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■JUSTICE SYSTEM

Works for the rich, regardless In the commentary, “Privilege undermining rule of law,” economist Noah Smith suggests the rich get different treatment in our judicial system. One only has to look at Enron to see that, not only do they get unequal treatment on the punishment side, they get a better response when offended against.

When Enron collapsed in a $20 billion financial scandal, a lot of rich Texans lost a lot of money. The Bush Department of Justice perp-walked their way right to the top and threw people in jail left and right. However, when Enron colluded with the Koch brothers and others to defraud every ratepayer on the Western power grid the response was less active. Our president went on record claiming it was just “normal market forces,” and it was not until our own Snohomish PUD handed the Department of Justice and publicized the evidence that Enron traders were happily “Stealing from Grandma Millie” that they did anything at all, even though they had been sitting on the exact same evidence from the start. Millie’s “grandson” got two years. Everyone else quietly wrote a check and walked free.

The claim at the time was that the fines were equal to the theft.

You can believe that if you want, but even so, should any shoplifter be able to just pay for the items taken and walk away? Can a bank robber go, “OK, you caught me. Here’s the money back?”

They stole $9 billion in the energy scam. Does anyone think they gave $9 billion back?

Does anyone think you should go to jail for stealing billions of dollars? If you are rich, certainly you think that. As for the rest of us, when I see it, I will believe it.

■■WILDFIRES

Bring back the aerial tankers Regarding the Aug. 30 commentary “Congress needs to act on wildfires”: Our Commissioner of Public Lands, Peter Goldmark, presented a sob story about the devastation caused by recent wild fires. Wow, does this not show his concern?

Unfortunately, Goldmark never mentioned the aerial tankers that have been excluded from fighting fires from the air by the U.S. Forest Service and the Department of Agriculture. USFS used a contract that excluded these monster firefighters, which are perfect for the fire that took away Pateros in Eastern Washington. Google

Have your say Include your name, address and daytime phone number.

E-mail: letters@heraldnet.com Mail: Letters section The The Daily Herald P.O. Box 930 Everett, WA 98206 this: Evergreen Aviation 747 Fire Truck/Tanker. Then read the first 12 or so listed items. They aren’t long. The information might make you sick, it should anger you if you know someone who had their property destroyed last month.

Goldmark said that he was leading the firefighters. Really?

Then why doesn’t he know that the best way to fight a fire is to take the biggest bucket you have, fill it full of water, run to the fire, dump your bucket, then run back to the water source as fast as you can, until the fire is out.

What really makes me wonder about our Western States Land Commissioners is why they didn’t sit down and create a pool of about $22 million to give Evergreen Aviation and the other guys with the big birds contracts they can live with, make a profit and put out fires from the air? I can’t believe that 11 guys who claim to have the lands of their states under good direction can sit back and watch the devastation the fires create and not do anything about it, and then, in Goldmark’s case, write a sob story about the results of the fires and never mention something that just might have cut the carnage by 75 percent or more, the super tankers.

The USFS contract offered to Evergreen and the other operators in June, 2013, was “as needed.” Try that on your local fire department. That proves again the bureaucrats have no idea of how businesses work.

In June, 2013 the Evergreen bird was parked in Arizona 20 minutes from the fire that destroyed 400 homes in Colorado and 20 minutes from the fire that killed 19 firefighters

■■COFFEE

It’s best served fully clothed Long before “operation sexpresso” became operational, I remember driving to Sea-Tac bleary-eyed for a 6 a.m. flight. All I could think about was coffee.

Dark. Rich. Spoon-stands-up-init-coffee. Fair trade would be nice.

I unknowingly pulled up to one of those now infamous drive-up brothels. Rolling down my window I was suddenly face to face with barely covered breasts. I must be in the wrong lane.

I’m about to pull away when a voice chirps, “And what can I get you — pause — ma’am?” (…well at least the breasts were polite.)

What can she get me? How about a sledgehammer. On second thought, how about a vanity blanket. (Blankets were issued to police during the UN Women’s Conference in Beijing, assuming all us radical women would tear off our clothes to protest in Tiananmen Square. Honest. That’s what they thought.

A Beijing officer told me their government insisted police carry “vanity” blankets in case of naked protesters.) Perhaps there’s a new line item for our police department budgets — barista vanity blankets.

Do I like underwear-clad women serving me coffee? Not so much. Before I could stop myself, I blurted out, “Aren’t you cold?“ Her response? “Not really, we have a heater in here.“ Little did I know how they were being kept warm. How sad young women allow themselves to be so debased. The only way to protest such business practices is to not frequent them. I’ll drive the extra mile for

■■I-594

Closes loophole, requires checks The letter writer in Sunday’s paper, “I-594 makes felons of lawful owners,” was so egregiously mistaken about I-594 (if not willfully lying), I am compelled to set the record straight. I-594 closes a current loophole in background check laws requiring that sales at gun shows and between private individuals be subject to the same criminal and mental illness background checks as those required at professional gun dealerships. And yes, I read it. Several times. That’s exactly what it does.

The writer claims the law makes felons of lawful owners.

The law says nothing about existing lawful gun owners except where those owners attempt to sell their guns to others.

I am a gun owner. Have been for most of my life. My dad took me hunting the first time when I was about 8 or 9.

And I am 100 percent in favor of background checks on guns.

Every little effort we can take to keep guns out of the hands of lunatics is all right by me.

When this bill passes, I will still be a lawful gun owner. And if I choose to sell a gun, I will happily screen the person who is trying to buy the gun. Please do as Sunday’s writer suggested.

Read the initiative. You might also find yourself questioning the honesty of Sunday’s letter.

The real danger is not from this initiative or its supporters.

It is from the NRA and anarchist-leaning tea-partiers who will likely be happy only when kindergartners are packing.

Bombs, boots and bluster won’t work

W

ASHINGTON — President Obama’s strategy against the Islamic State may be hard to pin down — maddeningly so, some complain — but it is likely to work far better than anything his bellicose critics advocate.

Perhaps the president will eliminate any confusion when he addresses the nation Wednesday, but I doubt it. Based on what he told NBC’s Chuck Todd on “Meet the Press,” there may be no way to reduce Obama’s fluid and perhaps deliberately ambiguous thinking to a black-or-white, all-or-nothing dichotomy.

“This is not going to be an announcement about U.S. ground troops. This is not the equivalent of the Iraq War,” Obama said.

Later in the interview, he added that “we’re not looking at sending in 100,000 American troops” and that “our goal should not be to think that we can occupy every country where there’s a terrorist organization.”

Clear? Kind of.

We understand that the president will not announce the deployment of U.S. troops in large numbers and that he does not intend for the United States to reinvade and re-occupy Iraq. But we know that U.S. military advisers and special opera- EUGENE ROBINSON tions teams have already been active in both Iraq and Syria. And since Obama described the fight against the Islamic State as “similar to the kinds of counterterrorism campaigns that we’ve been engaging in consistently over the last five, six, seven years,” we can assume there will be some U.S. military presence on the ground, however covert and limited.

A strong believer in multilateralism, the president asserted that “we have, I believe, a broad-based coalition internationally and regionally to be able to deal with the problem.” True? Again, kind of.

The 10-nation coalition assembled last week to fight the Islamic State — the United States plus Australia and NATO members Britain, France, Germany, Canada, Turkey, Italy, Poland and Denmark — is much less than meets the eye, operationally speaking. Britain, France, Australia and Canada have the will and capacity to project military power overseas. The others, not so much.

As far as regional cooperation is concerned, perhaps Turkey can be counted on to help tear down the Islamic State. But assistance from two key powers in the Middle East that also find themselves threatened by the jihadist group — Iran and Saudi Arabia — promises to be tenuous and situational at best.

To further complicate a situation that already seems hopelessly complicated, every blow against the Islamic State is a blow in favor of Syria’s Bashar al-Assad and his murderous regime. But Obama implied on “Meet the Press” that Assad is a secondary concern and said that “when it comes to our policy and the coalition that we’re putting together, our focus specifically is on ISIL,” another name for the Islamic State.

In internal administration discussions, Obama has reportedly been skepticin-chief about the capabilities of the ostensibly “moderate” Syrian rebels. On Sunday, the president was less than fulsome in his praise of groups such as the Free Syrian Army, which he noted “have been on the defensive.” He said “we’re going to have to develop a moderate Sunni opposition that can control territory,” indicating that no such opposition now exists.

It all sounds kind of circular and vague, implying there is much that may be planned, or already taking place, that we know nothing about. Obama seems to give himself the option of confronting the Islamic State directly when he chooses, ignoring it when he feels it can be ignored, using airstrikes when he believes they are needed, cooperating with adversarial or unreliable governments only when he believes it is in the U.S. interest to do so.

I don’t know if it will work. But I’m confident that the hawkish alternative — more bombs, more boots, more bluster — would be a tragic failure.

Massive airstrikes in both Iraq and Syria probably would not be enough to destroy the Islamic State without ground support.

In Iraq, such support has been inconsistent.

In Syria, it could come only from Assad’s brutal army. If U.S. troops are not an option, should we encourage Saudi Arabia and even Iran to deploy their forces? To me, that sounds like fighting a fire with gasoline.

To the hawks, Obama’s cautious, patient, this-could-take-years approach to dealing with the Islamic State will be emotionally unsatisfying. But, given the complexity of the situation, subtlety and indirection are more promising tools than brute force. Locking the United States into the kind of rigid strategy that critics demand would likely only ensure that this crisis sows the seeds of the next one.

Plan From Page A1

would consider selling the land.

City officials said their $5.25 million offer has gone unanswered.

A deadline passed a week ago.

The proposed sale price is more than double the property’s assessed value for 2014.

“We’re taking their silence as a rejection of our offer,” said Jared Bond, the city’s environmental and surface water supervisor.

West View’s president, David Beck, did not return calls for comment.

For now, plans to build Seabrook Heights are moving forward.

The project would take shape on land along Fisher Road, near where it splits from Norma Beach Road. It’s mostly woods now marked by “no dumping” signs.

County planners are satisfied the project meets all drainage and steep-slope requirements in the county code, permitting manager Tom Rowe said.

After the Oso catastrophe, they required the developer to submit a second opinion this summer from a geotechnical engineer about slope stability.

That’s something they’ve done with at least three developments awaiting approval in areas with landslide risks.

“Based on our experience with Oso, we’ve gone back to take a second look at those projects,” Rowe said.

A public works geotechnical engineer provided the planning department with a peer review of the latest plans, Rowe said.

Staff expect to issue a so-called mitigated determination of significance for Seabrook later this month. That means they’re ready to approve the application, subject to requirements that, in this case, don’t involve water runoff or landslides.

McKinley has two grown children and works in real estate. She said she made an offer on her house in the late 1990s within an hour of seeing it.

The Seabrook Heights proposal application interrupted her sense of peace when it surfaced in 2005. She successfully appealed

Carlin McKinley is concerned that her home in Meadowdale could be endangered by slides if a proposed development proceeds.

the project to the county hearing examiner in 2009. Barbara Dykes, the examiner at the time, took county planners to task, accusing them of failing to take a critical look at what the developer’s engineering consultant said about nearby slopes.

“From the testimony, it is clear that there was no review of the geotechnical report by PDS (Planning and Development Services) at all,” Dykes wrote in her decision. “... In essence, there was no review done by the department under the landslide hazard provisions of the code.”

Dykes sent the project back to address drainage and geotechnical concerns.

The County Council upheld the examiner’s decision when West View appealed.

County planners bristle at the former hearing examiner’s attack on their work.

“That was her opinion,” Rowe said. “We thought there was a substantial review done on that.”

The original plan included 69 homes. West View re-submitted plans in 2010 with a total of 70 homes, plus extra measures to lessen water runoff.

McKinley and her neighbors would prefer the project isn’t built at all. At the very least, they would like to see a robust environmental study, which they believe will back up everything they’re saying.

They have a strong ally in the city of Lynnwood, which has bought up 77 acres around Snohomish County’s Meadowdale Beach Park for conservation.

About a third of that city property lies immediately downhill from the proposed development. The area is outside Lynnwood’s city limit but in a potential annexation area.

“Our primary concern is definitely slope stability,” Bond said.

“We are downslope. Our property could be seriously damaged from this.”

Lynnwood and the nonprofit Brackett’s Landing Foundation also want to protect Lund’s Gulch Creek, which runs through the county park. They don’t want landslides or sediment to harm populations of cutthroat trout, coho and chum salmon that live there.

Historical maps show that shallow landslides are common along the Puget Sound bluffs, including in the Meadowdale area, said Timothy Walsh, the state Department of Natural Resources’ chief hazards geologist.

Soils in the Meadowdale area are similar to the glacial deposits found at Hazel, the hill that gave way in Oso, Walsh said. The potential for massive slides are much less, though. The failure plane, the point where the land is likely to give way, is much closer to the ground’s surface in areas near Puget Sound. The groundwater conditions are different as well.

That typically leads to shallow slides near the Puget Sound shoreline, starting at a depth of 5 or 10 feet, Walsh said.

The mass of these slides can grow, however, as they add

material heading downhill.

People who live in the area relate anecdotes that mesh with Walsh’s overview.

McKinley said at least three slides have hit the Meadowdale Beach Park during the 15 years she’s owned her secluded property, which is close enough to the park to hear hiker’s voices. Walk the park’s mile-long trail down to the beach, and you’ll see some of the evidence in the form of huge ruts and washouts. One slide, in late 2007, shut down the park for nine months.

In the Norma Beach neighborhood west of McKinley’s house, a slide during heavy rains in March 2011 left one house uninhabitable. Rich Lord felt lucky to escape after trees and brush crashed through his roof.

“We were worried about the people around us,” Lord said at the time. “This isn’t a game. You could die in this stuff.”

Building regulations in landslide-hazard areas have received extra attention since the Oso disaster.

The County Council this spring considered imposing a building moratorium extending a half mile from potentially dangerous slopes. They abandoned the idea after discovering that such a buffer would cover most of the county, with the few exceptions dominated by flood-prone river valleys.

Council Chairman Dave Somers, who spearheaded the effort, later proposed controversial measures to try to protect people and property. Ideas included recording landslide dangers on property titles to warn future owners of risks, expanding the areas around steep slopes that require a geotechnical study before new construction, and making those engineering studies adhere to more rigorous standards.

McKinley and her neighbors testified about the Seabrook property during the council hearing.

Somers’ proposals failed to gain any traction with his council colleagues, and they never even received a public discussion. The council did impose a building ban in the immediate Oso slide area.

An expert commission assembled by Gov. Jay Inslee and

County Executive John Lovick to examine the response to the Oso disaster is looking at land-use regulations in slide zones, among other issues. A report is due in December.

McKinley said she’s been unable to mow her yard since 2010 because it’s become too wet. She blames it on trees that have already been cut down uphill from her.

The landscape around her house could become much wetter if hundreds of trees are cut down for the Seabrook development, said Christina Bandaragoda, a hydrologist and University of Washington researcher who has consulted for McKinley.

That’s in large part because of a process called evapotranspiration — in which trees intercept and evaporate moisture before it reaches the ground and use the water (transpiration) before it infiltrates below the root system.

Forests can intercept 10 to 70 percent of rainfall depending on tree species, time of year, and precipitation rates, Bandaragoda said.

In her opinion, county decision-makers lack adequate information to reach a sound conclusion about how the developer’s project would change the amount of water moving through the area.

There’s nowhere to put stormwater runoff other than on McKinley’s land, she said, and “It’s illegal to dump stormwater on someone else’s property.”

There’s also scientific value in preserving the area around the county park, she believes.

“This is a wonderful example of how the coastal Puget Sound forested wetland ecosystem should function,” she said. “It’s not known how forested wetland ecosystems functioned historically.”

McKinley said she’s determined to keep fighting the proposed development, though it’s already taken up all of her savings.

“My stress level is unbelievable,” she said. “Here’s this house I love and I could lose it at any moment.”

Quail Creek residents (from left) Barbara Stromberg, Maria Torres, Marcy Freed and Louise Middleton toast before having a drink at Bailey’s Pub, the assisted living center’s in-house bar.

A bar that’s well-aged

Bailey’s Pub, the in-house watering hole at Lynnwood’s Quail Park assisted living center, serves up drinks and good cheer to residents

By Andrea Brown Herald Writer

Park your walker and belly up to the bar.

Residents at Quail Park of Lynnwood get two free drinks a day at an on-site pub.

It’s not a rowdy slurp fest, but there’s lots of clinking at the assisted living center with apartment living for 117 residents.

“Our average is probably 70 to 80 glasses of wine a day, in two hours time,” said Cathy Lukehart, staff bartender. “That’s why I get the big bottles. Yeah, we go through a lot.”

Bartender is her official job title here. It’s on her name tag.

The bar even has an official name, Bailey’s Pub. “By the end of the year they’re hoping to get a whole liquor license,” Lukehart said.

Manhattans. Dirty martinis.

Smoky martinis. Bring it on.

She’s ready.

In her 40 years in the bar industry, she’s served rock stars at The Edgewater hotel in Seattle, the Chinese ambassador in his Queen Anne home and locals at Razzals Grill & Sports Bar in Everett.

Lukehart, 66, likes her current gig serving beer, wine, spritzers and champagne cocktails to patrons she doesn’t have to card or cut off, though she does have to charge them $3.50 after the free two-drink quota.

The bright yet cozy pub has seating at the bar and big table by the flat screen TV. Down the hall is a billiards room where residents can take their drinks to shoot pool or watch sports after an afternoon at the on-site spa and pool.

Senior communities are no longer the rocking chair/bingo parlors of the past. Most don’t have distinct pubs, though many offer wine with meals, which have gone from mushy peas to gourmet dining.

Quail Park doesn’t have a cannabis lounge. Well, at least, not yet. But this is, after all the state of Washington, where even the beloved George namesake gets depicted smoking a joint. Medical marijuana is the topic of this month’s Quail Park guest speaker, followed by a talk next month on recreational pot.

Bailey Pub’s bartender Cathy Lukehart prepares residents’ drinks recently. For now, the pub serves beer, wine, champagne and spritzers. “By the end of the year they’re hoping to get a whole liquor license,” she said.

Drinks and glasses fill up a table at Bailey’s Pub.

Residents live at Quail Park for social as well as health reasons. Bailey’s Pub is a place to chat, flirt and laugh. The TV stays off unless the Seahawks are playing.

“There’s always somebody who has a story to tell,” said Jan Elder, who chases her dinnertime meds with water and non-alcoholic white wine.

“I’ve drank more beer since I moved in here than I drank in my life,” said Lyn Burrell. “We talk a lot and my mouth gets dry

and the beer, they serve it ice cold.”

Marcy Freed comes for the company and the Merlot.

“When I lived in my house I was very isolated,” she said. As for wine, “I only drink red because it has antioxidants in it. I know what’s good for me.”

Mary Sordel moved from her Chicago home into Quail Park without knowing anybody or that there was a bar on-site.

“It didn’t take me long to find out, dear,” she said. Or to

Gunnar Johannesson’s wife died in February. “It wasn’t until about two months ago that I started laughing again,” he said.

Face it, there’s something fun about a bar atmosphere, where you’re 21 or 91.

Bailey’s Pub is open from 4 to 7:30 p.m., seven days a week.

Katie Matthews, activity director, said it fits with the mindset of this generation of seniors.

“They’re feisty and they love to laugh,” she said. “About half of the residents have the free daily limit.”

On Fridays, it’s the daily double, when the activity department hosts their own happy hour with two free drinks before the pub opens.

“They like Friday,” Matthews said.

Teetotalers also partake.

“We also have a lot of nonalcoholic products,” said Lukehart, who added that about a third of the drinks she pours are alcohol-free. “Because some people don’t drink or don’t drink anymore.”

Dear Abby, 3

very year in the United States an estimated 30 million children and teenagers participate in organized sports. These activities are a great way for kids to improve physical fitness, coordination and self-confidence. The downside is that more than 3.5 million children younger than 15 years experience sports-related injuries each year, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Why are kids susceptible to sports injuries? Well, young athletes are not just small adults. Their bones and muscles are still growing. In particular, an accident involving a growth plate can result in serious and long-lasting damage in kids.

If you’ve got a child involved in sports, here’s what you need to know about preventing injuries.

The main culprit The main problem is often overuse syndrome in kids.

Like many adults, a lot of today’s children and teens are playing the same sport constantly — as opposed to engaging in a wide spectrum of activities like their predecessors did in previous generations. This lack of variety can lead to one muscle group or area of the body becoming overworked and overstressed. Common overuse injuries in kids include sprains or strains; pain in the back, knee or heel; and Little Leaguer’s shoulder or elbow.

Kyle Cassas, a family physician and sports medicine specialist at the Steadman Hawkins Clinic in Greenville, S.C., concurs, saying: “Increasing numbers of chronic overuse injuries in young athletes may be related to limited recovery time from longer competitive seasons and year-round training.” Fortunately, he adds, “One half of all sports injuries in children are preventable.”

Preventing injuries The American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons says that proper education and protective equipment are crucial to maximize the benefits and minimize the risks that can occur when your child participates in team sports. To find out where you hang in the balance, check off the recommendations from AAOS that you and your child currently practice.

My child gets a pre-participation examination with his or her health care provider.

My child cross trains in several activities or sports throughout the school year.

My child participates in teams that are grouped according to skill level and size.

Adult kids don’t need ‘parenting’

DAILY CROSSWORD

Adapted from a recent online discussion.

Dear Carolyn: I am the stepmother to two young adults, a 26-year-old boy and a 30-year-old girl. They are both married without children and their mother is deceased. I have five kids of my own, all over 35.

Every year my children come up for at least one holiday with their spouses and families. My stepchildren have not visited for the holidays in the four years my husband and I have been married.

When they visit they are polite but aloof.

I really want to be a good stepmother to both of them; however, they don’t seem to have any interest in being parented by anyone.

My husband is depressed that his children don’t care to be a part of our blended family. He had problems with both kids in the past but he figured they would grow out of their dislike for him.

I confronted his daughter, and she said although she is willing to forge friendships with my kids and me, she’s not terribly interested in having new siblings or a parent/ child relationship with me.

What does this leave me as?

Step-friend? Step-acquaintance?

As the now matriarch of this family, how do I bring them all together?

— Step-Parent or Step-Friend?

CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT How interested were you in being [kaff] “parented” when you were 26?

You are neither their step-parent nor step-friend — but if you step back and respect them as the adults they are, you might swing “friend” someday. The daughter spelled it out pretty clearly.

And she left you something you can work with, since “friend” is a lot better than “person whose threshold I refuse to cross.” Right?

She doesn’t have to be “a part of our blended family” to visit — she just visits, and the same with the son.

Your husband needs to invite his kids himself, starting with non-holidays, and nurturing new bonds gradually and respectfully from there. This marriage made you a spouse, but only time, trust and years of respect can anoint a matriarch.

— Anonymous Good points all, thanks.

Hi, Carolyn: My sibling and I have never really gotten along; we’re two very different people living two very different lives. This bothers my parents a great deal.

My sibling recently sent me one of those “send an item to the top person on this list and then send this letter out to 10 people”type chain letters. My instinct is to roll my eyes and throw it away, but I am feeling guilt about not responding to this effort extended by my sibling. I don’t want to suggest Sibling can’t make any headway with me. Can I just buy Sibling the item directly and not participate?

— Chain Lettered Delete the email, say nothing.

Chain email is not “effort,” unless your idea of effort is, say, to fob off unwanted gifts.

Instead, you make a real effort.

Men offer tips for women using online dating sites Dear Abby: “Surfing in Petersburg, Ill.” (June 17) raised good points about men who use online dating services. However, many of the things she pointed out could also be said of women who put their ads on the sites. The pickings are just as slim on our side of the fence. My hints to the “fairer sex”: (1) Don’t overdo your makeup and hair in your photos. While some makeup can enhance a lady’s look, we aren’t seeking someone who looks ready to go trick-or-treating or perform as a clown in the circus.

(2) Decent men don’t want to see ALL of your physical attributes on these sites. Dress appropriately for your age and don’t allow the “girls” to burst out of your low neckline.

(3) Don’t start your first conversation with, “What do you do and how much money do you make?”

Intelligent men will realize that you are not as concerned with finding a quality guy as you are with looking for a fat wallet.

(4) You don’t have to speak perfectly, but the teen lingo and texting abbreviations are a real turn-off.

(5) Don’t constantly complain about your ex.

It provides insight as to why he opted to break off your relationship or file for divorce. — Dan In Ohio Dear Dan: Thanks for the input. I had a hunch my male readers would react to “Surfing’s” observations. Read on: Dear Abby: To the ladies, I advise: Don’t post a 10-year-old photo as being the way you currently look. And don’t lie about your marital status or the number of times you’ve been married.

These will come back to RIP HAYWIRE

DEAR ABBY haunt you.

“A few extra pounds” does not mean 100 pounds overweight. If you are obese, admit it and say you are working on getting the weight off — and make sure you are. — Earle In Texas Dear Abby: For women who post photos of their pets, it’s great that you love them, but I’m only looking to date their OWNER. And if you say you are active with an athletic body, I’d like to see it. Descriptions can be subjective, and your perception might be different from mine. — Done My Time Online Dear Abby: Selfies in the bathroom mirror are tacky.

Have a friend take a picture of you. Avoid taking photos of specific body parts (lips, feet, etc.). It’s low-class.

Describe yourself in detailed terms. Every woman says she’s downto-earth, decent-looking, caring and smart. A little originality goes a long way!

— Looking In Lansing, Mich.

Dear Abby: A woman should never post her previous wedding picture when looking for a new life partner. And ladies, if you’re looking for someone to sweep you out of that crappy life you’re in, forget it. Fix your life first to the point where you can enjoy it by yourself, and then look for someone to share it with. We guys like our fixeruppers to be houses or cars, not our women. — Found My Queen On A Site

Your shot to play TV exec

CBS names British actor to host ‘Late Late Show’

Amazon is asking viewers to choose among five pilots to determine which becomes a series.

By Neal Justin Minneapolis Star Tribune

Nobody knows anything in Hollywood. Those words of wisdom from screenwriter William Goldman never ring truer than they do during pilot season, that barbaric ritual in which smug executives look at dozens of sample episodes and decide which ones deserve to become full-fledged series.

Amazon has a different idea.

For the third time, the online studio is offering viewers the chance to watch a handful of pilots and provide feedback. In theory, this allows consumers to decide what gets green-lit.

The five new videos, at Amazon.com, are free and are currently available for streaming. Here are my thoughts: “Red Oaks”: The country club appears to be the ideal setting for a young man to come of age, at least according to such reliable sources as “Caddyshack” and “The Flamingo Kid.” This latest example, set in 1985, finds assistant tennis pro David Myers (Craig Roberts) rolling his eyes at his bickering parents and fearing a cookie-cutter career in accounting.

“Oaks,” which includes Steven Soderbergh among its executive producers, relies a little too heavily on clichés, including a pot-dealing parking lot attendant who gets his “Porky’s” moment and a free-wheeling mentor who

tries to channel Bill Murray. But the soft-edged comedy moves at a brisk, engaging pace, and Paul Reiser does his best work in years as the club’s arrogant president, a role he was born to play.

My verdict: Ten-episode pickup.

“Really”: Jay Chandrasekhar, a founding member of the comedy troupe Broken Lizard, has again surrounded himself with good company in this sitcom about four couples who talk about sex, reality TV and bratty children over gallons of red wine. The conversations feel real, as does the affection they appear to have for each other — until a nasty twist threatens to unravel their bond.

There are no side-splitting laughs here, but the show avoids the usual stereotypes of network comedies. Building an entire episode around one dinner party is a risk, but it pays off thanks to a charming guest list that includes Sarah Chalke, Selma Blair and Rob Delaney.

More vino, please.

My verdict: Six-episode pickup.

“Hysteria”: Turns out twerking isn’t the only affliction threatening our young girls, at least not in the Texas town featured in writer Shaun Cassidy’s latest effort to keep viewers on their toes. Mena Suvari plays a neurologist who returns home to investigate a series of violent fits spreading through a competitive dance team.

I think Cassidy is attempting to say something about how viral video and social media are becoming a danger to society.

It’s a noble effort, but it felt a bit heavy-handed with too many

distractions.

My verdict: Pass.

“Hand of God”: Ron Perlman cries. Twice. Watching Hellboy tear up is just one of the intriguing twists in this drama about a judge who becomes a bornagain Christian after his son attempts suicide.

Directed by Marc Forster (“Monster’s Ball”), the pilot ricochets all over the place, and a sham priest, played by Julian Morris, is not a strong enough foil. Still, taking on organized religion — or embracing it — is something we don’t see often on television.

My verdict: Six-episode pickup.

“The Cosmopolitans”: There are fans of Whit Stillman’s chatterbox dramas such as “Metropolitan” and “Barcelona,” in which privileged Americans wax semi-politically in exotic locations. I’m not one of them.

His latest, set in modern-day Paris, is once again a lily-white affair (Seriously? Not a single minority in the City of Lights?) with spoiled brats making goo-goo eyes at each other at high-end cocktail parties and bistros. If they’re even a little excited about being in France with zero responsibility and unlimited amounts of money, they don’t dare show it.

Some of the conversations border on interesting, but I’d be throwing a glass of water in each of their faces if I ever had to endure their smugness in real life. Stillman’s fan base may make this the safest bet of the bunch, but I want nothing to do with it — which is why my days as a studio executive would be short-lived.

My verdict: Pass.

SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY 50 years ago (1964) Area businesses were loaning employees to help kick off the United Good Neighbors fall campaign. Among them were Robert Sturgeon, Weyerhaeuser Co.; Gordon Stillman, Western Gear Corp.; Emil Olson, Bank of Everett, and Dick Robinson, Robinson Plywood and Timber Co. Eugene A. Stock, son of Mr. and Mrs. Leon Stock, Marysville, was among several area men who passed the recent state bar examination. Stock did his

undergraduate work at the University of Washington and was graduated from George Washington University, Washington, D.C. He would be associated with the Everett law firm of Griffen and Johnson.

25 years ago (1989) Dr. Bill MacDonald and his son, Billy, took a rest before their orienteering race. Orienteering was a competitive sport in which participants ran crosscountry using only a map and a compass to find their way

between various checkpoints to the finish line. There was no designated route.

Zora Minich was honored at the Camwood Senior Center in Stanwood for her volunteer work at the center which began in 1972. Several county officials were on hand at the luncheon to give Minich a black marble recognition plaque and key to the city of Stanwood.

NEW YORK — British actor James Corden will replace Craig Ferguson as host of “The Late Late Show” on CBS next year, part of a complete overhaul of the network’s late-night talk show lineup put in motion by the impending retirement of David Letterman.

The network James Corden said Monday it had picked Corden, who won a Tony Award in 2012 for his role in the play “One Man, Two Guvnors” and appears in the movie “Begin Again” with Keira Knightley and Mark Ruffalo.

Corden is also in the upcoming film “Into the Woods” with Meryl Streep and Johnny Depp. He hosts a sports-oriented game show in Britain, and also acts in and writes the BBC series “The Wrong Mans.”

Nina Tassler, chairman of CBS entertainment, called Corden “a rare entertainment force who combines irresistible charm, warmth and originality with a diverse range of creative instincts and performance talent.”

Ferguson has hosted “The Late Late Show,” which airs at 12:35 a.m. Pacific, for 10 years. He said he would be leaving shortly after Letterman announced his retirement and he was passed over to be his successor, with Stephen Colbert getting that job sometime next year. Ferguson will leave the show in December, CBS said.

Corden’s hiring recalls that of the Scottish-born Ferguson, who was relatively unknown in the United States before CBS gave him the job. Corden is also another white male in a latenight talk world dominated by them. CBS said it was considering several different options for a show when Ferguson said he was leaving; it offered no details on the type of program Corden will do or where it will be based.

CBS didn’t say when his show will start. The timing all seems dependent on when Letterman exits “The Late Show” next year and when Colbert begins.

push you into doing things you don’t want to do. Poor information will lead you down the wrong path. ��� LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Indulge in things that will expand your mind and your friendships with people from different backgrounds. Refuse to let someone bully you or make you feel guilty for wanting to do things your way. ��� SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Promote the skills, talents and project you enjoy doing the most. An opportunity to begin a new partnership or business may entice you, but practicality must be considered. Taking on too much will cost you and jeopardize your chance for success. ����� SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Taking care of other people’s affairs will bring you added benefits, but you are best to refrain from letting anyone interfere in your personal matters. �� CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Keep your opinions to yourself until you have facts and figures worked out to back your theory. Use your insight and expertise to gather difficult information. Money will come to you from an unexpected source. Love is highlighted. ���� AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Take pride in what you do and you will avoid criticism.

Look at your current work situation and you will find a way to use your skills to suit the changes going on in your life. ��� PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You will be sensitive to what people do and how they treat you. Hold off committing to a deal that hasn’t been fleshed out and put on paper. Be as open and honest as possible when dealing with relationships. ���

don’t have the luxury of that kind of preseason preparation. Following the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association reclassification earlier this year, the Wesco 4A no longer had enough teams for two divisions. As a result, the conference is now one division with eight teams.

The change had a direct impact on volleyball. Under WIAA rules, each team is allowed 16 competitive days of volleyball during the season. Those days can be used for a single match or for a tournament with several matches. With each team in the Wesco 4A playing the other seven teams twice, that

the season — at the Kent Classic Invite on Sept. 20.

Kamiak should be well-prepared for its opener. The Knights began practice Aug. 25.

“We need to make sure that we’re completely ready once we hit the floor with Jackson,” Bowie said.

“The hard part about that is, there’s things that come up only in a gamelike setting. You don’t know how your girls are going to do at 23-23 until they’re at 23-23. You can put scenarios and try to draw up similarities and create those in practice, but it’s like, ‘Here we go, let’s see.’”

Jackson has to wait even longer than Kamiak for some

any non-league (matches). From that perspective, it’s great to see the same teams twice. I think it creates more rivalry and you’re going to get (a second) look at a team, so whoever loses or whoever wins, there’s something to prove the next time you play. I like that angle better.”

Mariner hosted a preseason tournament this past weekend to get in some competition before opening its league schedule Sept.

16 against Cascade.

“We strive to have the varsity tournament as early as possible just for that purpose,” Jones said.

“I prefer to be proactive and we’ll take care of that problem ourselves.

said getting non-league competition in before the conference opener is important.

“That was definitely key to our scheduling, making sure we (can) tinker with our lineup and get girls some valuable touches,” Tarin said. “We are so deep this year that almost every position on the floor is up for grabs. This tournament will really help us shape up what are lineup will be for the rest of the year.”

KEVIN CLARK / THE HERALD

Lake Stevens senior Kahlia Kelliher is one of the top volleyball players in Wesco 4A.

Kahlia Kelliher Lake Stevens Senior | Outside Hitter Kelliher has developed into one of the most dangerous hitters Wesco has to offer, but it isn’t that ability head coach Dawn Hanson covets the most.

“Kahlia is one of my favorite players to coach in the past 20 years,” Hanson said. “I love coaching her because of her ability to discuss her current level of play, take constructive criticism and shake it off immediately.

And she has a wicked, goofy sense of humor that I enjoy being around every day — whether it be in practice or in games.”

Kelliher finished last season with 164 kills, 72 blocks and 19 aces.

Hanson called Kelliher’s arm swing “explosive” and said she’s a difficult player for defenses to read. Her ability to play anywhere on the floor has helped the Vikings become more versatile as a team and should have them challenging for a Wesco 4A championship this season.

“I can’t wait to watch her this year,” Hanson said.

“Since this is her last year, she will not be holding anything back. I expect her to attack every game with the same intensity and level of play (as she has in the past) and she is such a great person to be around. She is contagious to her teammates and it makes my job so much easier.

“She will be a league leader for sure and she will be a big reason for our success.”

Players to Watch

seen a lot of great players.

His daughter falls into that category. “(She’s) always willing to lead by example and help fellow players and younger players with advice that will make them, the team and the program more successful,” he said of Krista.

Titus, a first-team All-Wesco libero in 2013, is the Spartans’ all-time leader in digs in a match and digs in a season, and should join her sisters in the top three for digs in a career by the end of the 2014 season.

Meghan Hayes Kamiak Senior | Libero Hayes, one of Kamiak’s captains, is small in stature, standing just 5-foot-1, but she plays big. As a junior last season, she led the Knights in aces and was named an All-Wesco first-team libero.

“She’s a huge presence on the court despite her small, cute little frame,” Knights coach Natalie Bowie said. “She’s a huge communicator. She’s an incredible serve-receive passer. She’s a great digger and she’s reading the ball better. She’s improved tremendously over her four seasons.”

Hayes began contributing to the varsity as a sophomore, but showed drastic improvement as a junior, helping her earn all-conference status.

“Last year was a huge year for her where I thought, ‘Wow, I didn’t know that you were so capable,’” Bowie said. “I knew she was always good, but I didn’t know that last year, for her junior year, that she had the capability to be great.

“Us as coaches have a lot of confidence in her as an individual, but we also have more confidence in whatever six we put on the court knowing that she’s in that backline.”

Delaney Hopen Shorewood Junior | Outside Hitter Hopen enters her third season on the Thunderbirds’ varsity. She was a second-team All-Wesco outside hitter as a freshman and a first-teamer as a sophomore.

Showing off her versatility, Hopen also was named a second-team All-Wesco libero as a sophomore.

“Delaney is a natural leader,” Shorewood head coach Jen Chartrand said. “Her work ethic and drive, along with her passion for this game, make her a valuable player. She’s a motivator and definitely leads by example on and off the court.”

Hopen has established herself not only as versatile, but also as one of the better players at the Wesco 3A level. With this season and next to play for the Thunderbirds, she only figures to get better.

“I expect her to stay true to herself, who she is and what she wants to do in the years to come, continue to keep an open, coachable mind and keep striving for the next highest skill level,” Chatrand said.

Sam Hayward Archbishop Murphy Sophomore | Outside Hitter Hayward burst onto the volleyball scene as a freshman, finishing with 250 kills and 154 digs. She was named a first-team All-Cascade Conference hitter. She is a key part of the Wildcats’ young nucleus that expects to challenge King’s for the conference championship and make a run at the state tournament.

“Sam has a unique blend of size and speed,” Archbishop Murphy first-year head coach Brandon Jones said. “She has the ability to rally with power or use a soft touch to dig and pass the ball.”

Despite being just a sophomore, Hayward is expected to be one of Archbishop Murphy’s leaders.

“Sam has a level of understanding for the game that reaches beyond her experience,” Jones said. “Sam will be in the conversation for conference MVP as a sophomore this season and will be a key contributor to our run at a state title.”

Marysville Pilchuck at Lake Stevens Friday, 7 p.m.

It’s been a non-league game for three seasons now, but the matchup between the Tomahawks and the Vikings rarely disappoints. Marysville Pilchuck won 37-24 last season, getting a bit of revenge after a 45-21 Lake Stevens victory in 2012.

Upstart Marysville Getchell went to Auburn last weekend and beat Auburn Riverside — a playoff team a season ago — 25-21 on Saturday. The Chargers’ next challenge is Jackson, which is coming off a tough 35-14 season-opening loss to Edmonds-Woodway.

M’s rally in 8th to beat Astros Krista Titus Stanwood Senior | Libero

For the past 10 years, a Titus girl has roamed the Spartans’ backcourt as a libero. Senior Krista Titus follows in the footsteps of her older sisters, Leah and Sarah, who were both four-year letter winners at Stanwood.

The Titus family’s volleyball connection also extends to the sidelines, where Krista’s father, Erik, handles the head-coaching duties for the Spartans. Coach Titus has spent the past 20 years coaching either the juniorvarsity or varsity volleyball teams at Stanwood and has

EVERETT — The Everett Silvertips headed to Kennewick last weekend for the Tri-City Preseason Tournament with a big question mark still surrounding its offense. The Tips returned with that question mark considerably smaller.

Everett had a successful weekend in Kennewick, beating the Seattle Thunderbirds 4-2 on Friday and thrashing the Kootenay Ice 8-2 on Saturday to improve its preseason record to 3-2. But the most significant aspect of the victories was the way the Tips were able to find the net.

“I think the games went well,” overage defenseman Ben Betker said. “The second one especially against Kootenay, we scored a ton of goals, which was really nice to see. That might have been a question mark for our team, but I think now after that game it showed how much we can do offensively.”

Goal scoring is Everett’s biggest concern heading into the 2014-15 season after losing four of its top five scorers from last season. That concern remained following the opening weekend of preseason, as the Tips scored just four goals in their three games at the Holiday Inn Preseason Classic over the Labor Day weekend.

But Everett scored the final three goals in its game Friday to rally past a Seattle team that played a veteran crew on defense and in goal. Then the Tips busted out big-time against a youthful Kootenay team on Saturday, scoring three times in the first six minutes en route to the rout.

“I thought we played really well,” said center Remi Laurenceele, who scored in both games over the weekend and leads the team in preseason goals with three. “Our second game we pretty much dominated and had a really good game. Our forecheck was on and our game was on, and we were lucky enough to score eight goals.”

It wasn’t just that Everett scored 12 goals in the two games,

LAKE STEVENS — At a time of year when many friends are playing football, soccer, volleyball and other team sports, a group of Snohomish County young people — teen-agers mostly, but some are younger — is enjoying a less visible but certainly no less challenging sport.

Rice cut by Ravens, suspended

by NFL after release of video

By David Ginsburg Associated Press

BALTIMORE — Ray Rice was cut by the Baltimore Ravens on Monday and suspended indefinitely by the NFL after a video was released showing the running back striking his thenfiancee in February.

The grainy video, released

by TMZ Sports, shows Rice and Janay Palmer in an elevator at an Atlantic City casino.

Each hits the other before Rice knocks Palmer off her feet and into a railing. Months ago, a TMZ video showed Rice dragging Palmer, now his wife, from the elevator at the Revel casino, which closed Sept. 2.

Earlier Monday, the Ravens said they never saw the new video. Hours later, they sent out a one-sentence release: “The Baltimore Ravens terminated the contract of RB Ray Rice this afternoon.”

Coach John Harbaugh said he met with Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti, team president

Dick Cass and general manager Ozzie Newsome after they saw the video, and they made the decision to let Rice go.

“It’s something we saw for the first time today, all of us,” Harbaugh said. “It changed things, of course. It made things a little bit different.”

The action represented a complete reversal for the team, even though an Atlantic City police summons stated that Rice caused “bodily injury to Janay Palmer, specifically by striking her with his hand, rendering her unconscious.”

The Ravens had used words like “respect” and “proud” in referring to Rice following his arrest.

When the NFL announced Rice’s two-game suspension for domestic violence on July 24, Newsome said: “We respect the efforts Ray has made to become the best partner and father he can be. That night was not typical of the Ray Rice we know and respect. We believe that he will not let that one night define who he is, and he is determined

to make sure something like this never happens again.”

Asked Monday night if Rice misled him, Harbaugh said he didn’t want to get into “all that.”

Rice said in a news conference this summer that his actions that night were “inexcusable.” But the Ravens never took action against him until after the second video was released.

The NFL, which has been working hard to promote the game to women, also took action after the explicit video was released. Commissioner Roger Goodell announced that, based on the new video evidence, Rice has been suspended indefinitely.

“We requested from law enforcement any and all information about the incident, including the video from inside the elevator,” NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Monday morning. “That video was not made available to us and no one in our office has seen it until today.”

Rice, 27, stood to make $4 million this year.

SEAHAWKS | Notebook

Lane goes to IR, Thomas signed

By John Boyle Herald Writer

RENTON — Most Seahawks fans had likely never heard of Josh Thomas before Seattle signed him Monday, but odds are they’ve all seen the cornerback in action.

Or more accurately, they’ve seen him in action on one particular highlight.

Unfortunately for Thomas, who signed with Seattle to bolster a position made thin by injuries, he is best known around these parts as the guy who was covering Jermaine Kearse when the Seahawks receiver made the leaping, fourth-quarter touchdown catch to give Seattle a win in last year’s season opener at Carolina.

“The season opener, what I remember is 15 at the very end of the game, he came up and got the ball over me,” said Thomas, who can laugh about the play now.

To be fair to Thomas, he was actually in good position on Kearse, but was simply beat by a very well-placed throw by Russell Wilson and by a spectacular catch.

And like the rest of his new teammates in Seattle’s vaunted secondary, Thomas would welcome the challenge of another late-game test should it come up, even if Kearse got the better of him last season.

“I’m a competitor, so seeing that, end of the game, coming at me, it don’t get any better than that,” Thomas said. “I’m excited to be here and I’m ready.”

Thomas, who is listed at 5-11, 185 pounds, appeared in 38

and a potential early pick in the 2015 NFL draft. If he doesn’t play against Illinois, the Huskies will be left with a defensive backfield completely void of players who started more than one game last season, which is a difficult situation to navigate for a unit that allowed EWU quarterback Vernon Adams to throw for 476 yards and seven touchdowns last week. Fifth-year senior Travell Dixon replaced Peters at cornerback, and freshmen Sidney Jones, Darren Gardenhire and Jermaine Kelly, a redshirt, all saw time at corner, too.

Peters spent Saturday afternoon jawing with EWU’s receivers, and after the Huskies secured a sack on a third-down play with a little more than six minutes remaining in the third quarter, forcing a fourth-andlong, Peters was penalized for getting in the face of an Eastern receiver.

The penalty allowed the Eagles to avoid punting, gave

games over the past three seasons with the Panthers, starting 10.

Thomas replaces Jeremy Lane on the roster, with Lane moving to the injured reserve/ designated to return list. Lane aggravated a groin injury in Thursday’s season opener, and Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said a day later than Lane would be “down for a little while.”

With Lane on what is commonly referred to as short-term IR, “a little while” means Seattle’s nickel cornerback can’t return to practice for six weeks, and to game action for eight.

With the bye week, that means Lane will miss at least Seattle’s next seven games.

In addition to Lane being sidelined, the Seahawks are currently also without second-year corner Tharold Simon, who had surgery last week to clean up minor cartilage damage. Carroll said Simon will likely be out four weeks.

Thomas played primarily as an outside cornerback in Carolina, but said he’s open to playing in the nickel position as well if that is what’s asked of him.

“I’m familiar with nickel, but I’ve come here not to just assume a nickel position, but to assume a need where this team may need help,” Thomas said.

“I’m at their disposal, that’s what I’m here for. I’m not here to look out for one position or two positions, I’m here to just come in and help.”

Seahawks sign McDonald Andrew McDonald turned 26 on Monday, and as an unexpected birthday gift, he got a new job with

them a first down, and they scored a touchdown eight plays later. Peters did not return to the game, and appeared animated on the sideline after being pulled.

Asked if any discipline stemming from the incident will be a result of the penalty or the tantrum afterward, Petersen replied: “I’m not addressing any of that right now. We’ll talk about that down the road.”

In broader terms, Petersen discussed the impact of benching a star player in an effort to teach a larger lesson, saying that “I think it helps the team. You might take a step back and think it really helps to do things the right way.”

In general, Petersen said, implementing his own process at a new program has provided unfamiliar frustration.

“It couldn’t be more different. It couldn’t be more night and day,” Petersen said. “I just shake my head at certain things going, ‘Are you kidding me?’

But that’s why I came here, for a new challenge, a new opportunity. It’s amazing how much you do take for granted ... just the things we’ve talked about: how

the Seahawks. McDonald, a 6-6, 310-pound offensive tackle who had been on the Carolina Panthers’ practice squad, was signed to Seattle’s 53-man roster.

“It feels great,” McDonald said following his first practice with his new team. “Today’s my birthday, so I couldn’t ask for a better birthday, present, you know? Obviously it’s great.”

McDonald, who went undrafted out of Indiana in 2012, and has spent time with Miami and Carolina, gives the Seahawks a bit more line depth after the loss of guard/ center Lemuel Jeanpierre to a neck injury. After placing Jeanpierre on injured reserve last week, the Seahawks had just eight linemen on their roster, an unusually low number.

While finding a new team is good news for McDonald, it isn’t the most significant news in his life over the past year. McDonald was diagnosed with testicular cancer during the offseason, requiring surgery in May, but made a quick recovery and was back in time for training camp.

McDonald has further checkups ahead, but said he was deemed “clean and clear” a month after the surgery, and he now feels like he’s “100 percent healthy” and ready to move forward with his new team.

“It’s just a huge blessing,” McDonald said. “I try to stay humble and try to let God do the promoting, so to have the opportunity to be on a 53(-man roster), especially here with Seattle, it’s just a huge blessing, and obviously I’m pretty ecstatic about it.”

Practice squad moves In addition to the changes to their active roster, the Seahawks also made a couple of practice squad moves, signing guard Nate Isles and safety Terrance Parks, both of whom spent the preseason with Seattle, and releasing safety Josh Aubrey and guard David Arkin.

we travel, even our protocol in the locker is confused a little bit.

It’s just like, ‘How do we not get this?’ And all those little things add up in getting these guys in a groove — let alone playing football.”

Junior receiver Jaydon Mickens, one of four Huskies players made available to the media during Monday’s press luncheon, said there’s only one way to interpret the message sent by Petersen’s benching of Peters.

“It’s like there’s nobody bigger than the team type-thing,” Mickens said. “Leave all egos at the door when you come in here.

There’s no star players here. It doesn’t matter. Me, John Ross, and then those guys on defense, Brandon Beaver, we all understand that and come to practice with that same mentality.

“Like today, Monday, we had some guys that played a lot of plays, but they still wanted to get in there and get some reps, even though this is the getyour-body-back type of day.

And that’s what we need on this team. Marcus will be right. He’ll get back right. It was just the competitive nature in him at the time. He’ll be fine.”

Stafford and Johnson lead Lions past Giants Associated Press DETROIT — Matthew Stafford improvised brilliantly on two early touchdown passes to Calvin Johnson, and Detroit beat the New York Giants 35-14 on Monday night in Jim Caldwell’s first game as Lions coach.

Stafford also ran for a TD for Detroit, which intercepted Eli Manning twice in the Lions’ first Monday night opener since 1971.

Cardinals 18, Chargers 17 GLENDALE, Ariz. — Carson Palmer threw a 13-yard touchdown pass to John Brown with 2:25 to play, and the Arizona Cardinals rallied to beat the San Diego Chargers 18-17 on Monday night.

Peters also served a onequarter suspension during last season’s Fight Hunger Bowl due to an academic issue.

Extra points Washington’s Sept. 20 game against Georgia State at Husky Stadium will kickoff at 3 p.m. and air on the Pac-12 Networks. ... Petersen said he isn’t sure how often linebacker Shaq Thompson will be used at running back after his 3-carry, 65-yard performance on Saturday that featured a 57-yard touchdown run. “We need him to play really good on defense, first and foremost, and we’ve got him on some specialteams things,” Petersen said. “We’re going to keep monitoring that as the season goes on. He’s productive as all get-out, for sure.” ... Fourth-year Junior tight end Joshua Perkins is “week to week” with an undisclosed injury, Petersen said, adding that he might be able to play against Illinois.

Darrell Daniels and Michael Hartvigson are listed atop the depth chart at that position. ... Freshman receiver Dante Pettis is now listed atop the depth chart at punt returner, ahead of junior receiver Jaydon Mickens. “I think Dante is going to be good back there and I want to keep developing him there and make sure he’s doing something important,” Petersen said. “I think he can be a really good receiver, and we have to get him some more reps at that position, too, during the game.”

VOLLEYBALL | Season Preview

New schedule cuts down on preseason preparation

By Aaron Lommers Herald Writer

Last season, the Snohomish volleyball team played in four nonleague matches and a tournament before opening its conference schedule against Lynnwood.

Coaches typically use nonleague contests — sometimes referred to as preseason matches — to work out the kinks in their lineups and experiment with different strategies.

This season, the Panthers and the other seven Wesco 4A teams don’t have the luxury of that kind of preseason preparation. Following the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association reclassification earlier this year, the Wesco 4A no longer had enough teams for two divisions. As a result, the conference is now one division with eight teams.

The change had a direct impact on volleyball. Under WIAA rules, each team is allowed 16 competitive days of volleyball during the season. Those days can be used for a single match or for a tournament with several matches. With each team in the Wesco 4A playing the other seven teams twice, that

left just two days for non-league competition.

“I would say the big obvious pro to non-league games is prepping for the ones that count,” Kamiak head coach Natalie Bowie said.

“Unless you have a tournament or jamboree before your first match, it’s like, ‘Here we go, first game — and it counts.’”

Bowie’s Knights open their season with a conference match against Jackson on Sept. 16. They will have two league matches behind them before participating in their first non-league action of the season — at the Kent Classic Invite on Sept. 20.

Kamiak should be well-prepared for its opener. The Knights began practice Aug. 25.

“We need to make sure that we’re completely ready once we hit the floor with Jackson,” Bowie said.

“The hard part about that is, there’s things that come up only in a gamelike setting. You don’t know how your girls are going to do at 23-23 until they’re at 23-23. You can put scenarios and try to draw up similarities and create those in practice, but it’s like, ‘Here we go, let’s see.’”

Jackson has to wait even longer than Kamiak for some

non-conference action. The Timberwolves chose to compete in two tournaments, both in October.

“You don’t have the flexibility of out-of-league (matches), which is a bummer,” Jackson head coach Mindy Staudinger said. “That part is a drawback. I personally don’t mind. I like playing teams twice.”

Mariner head coach Amy Jones agrees with Staudinger. In fact, she’s used to a limited non-conference schedule.

“I can relate because when I was a high school player, that’s what we did,” Jones said. “We didn’t have any non-league (matches). From that perspective, it’s great to see the same teams twice. I think it creates more rivalry and you’re going to get (a second) look at a team, so whoever loses or whoever wins, there’s something to prove the next time you play. I like that angle better.”

Mariner hosted a preseason tournament this past weekend to get in some competition before opening its league schedule Sept.

16 against Cascade.

“We strive to have the varsity tournament as early as possible just for that purpose,” Jones said.

“I prefer to be proactive and we’ll take care of that problem ourselves.

A lot of coaches don’t practice as frequently as we do to get their 10 practices out of the way to be able to have a tournament that first weekend, but we always have and probably always will.”

Like Mariner, Snohomish opens the season with a non-conference tournament before its league opener against Lake Stevens on Sept. 16. Snohomish, the defending 4A District 1 champion, will compete in the Puget Sound Adidas Invitational at Auburn-Mountainview High School on Saturday.

Panthers head coach Alex Tarin said getting non-league competition in before the conference opener is important.

“That was definitely key to our scheduling, making sure we (can) tinker with our lineup and get girls some valuable touches,” Tarin said. “We are so deep this year that almost every position on the floor is up for grabs. This tournament will really help us shape up what are lineup will be for the rest of the year.”

Lake Stevens senior Kahlia Kelliher is one of the top volleyball players in Wesco 4A.

Kahlia Kelliher Lake Stevens Senior | Outside Hitter Kelliher has developed into one of the most dangerous hitters Wesco has to offer, but it isn’t that ability head coach Dawn Hanson covets the most.

“Kahlia is one of my favorite players to coach in the past 20 years,” Hanson said. “I love coaching her because of her ability to discuss her current level of play, take constructive criticism and shake it off immediately.

And she has a wicked, goofy sense of humor that I enjoy being around every day — whether it be in practice or in games.”

Kelliher finished last season with 164 kills, 72 blocks and 19 aces.

Hanson called Kelliher’s arm swing “explosive” and said she’s a difficult player for defenses to read. Her ability to play anywhere on the floor has helped the Vikings become more versatile as a team and should have them challenging for a Wesco 4A championship this season.

“I can’t wait to watch her this year,” Hanson said.

“Since this is her last year, she will not be holding anything back. I expect her to attack every game with the same intensity and level of play (as she has in the past) and she is such a great person to be around. She is contagious to her teammates and it makes my job so much easier.

“She will be a league leader for sure and she will be a big reason for our success.”

Krista Titus Stanwood Senior | Libero For the past 10 years, a Titus girl has roamed the Spartans’ backcourt as a libero. Senior Krista Titus follows in the footsteps of her older sisters, Leah and Sarah, who were both four-year letter winners at Stanwood.

The Titus family’s volleyball connection also extends to the sidelines, where Krista’s father, Erik, handles the head-coaching duties for the Spartans. Coach Titus has spent the past 20 years coaching either the juniorvarsity or varsity volleyball teams at Stanwood and has

Players to Watch

seen a lot of great players.

His daughter falls into that category. “(She’s) always willing to lead by example and help fellow players and younger players with advice that will make them, the team and the program more successful,” he said of Krista.

Titus, a first-team All-Wesco libero in 2013, is the Spartans’ all-time leader in digs in a match and digs in a season, and should join her sisters in the top three for digs in a career by the end of the 2014 season.

Meghan Hayes Kamiak Senior | Libero Hayes, one of Kamiak’s captains, is small in stature, standing just 5-foot-1, but she plays big. As a junior last season, she led the Knights in aces and was named an All-Wesco first-team libero.

“She’s a huge presence on the court despite her small, cute little frame,” Knights coach Natalie Bowie said. “She’s a huge communicator. She’s an incredible serve-receive passer. She’s a great digger and she’s reading the ball better. She’s improved tremendously over her four seasons.”

Hayes began contributing to the varsity as a sophomore, but showed drastic improvement as a junior, helping her earn all-conference status.

“Last year was a huge year for her where I thought, ‘Wow, I didn’t know that you were so capable,’” Bowie said. “I knew she was always good, but I didn’t know that last year, for her junior year, that she had the capability to be great.

“Us as coaches have a lot of confidence in her as an individual, but we also have more confidence in whatever six we put on the court knowing that she’s in that backline.”

Delaney Hopen Shorewood Junior | Outside Hitter Hopen enters her third season on the Thunderbirds’ varsity. She was a second-team All-Wesco outside hitter as a freshman and a first-teamer as a sophomore.

Showing off her versatility, Hopen also was named a second-team All-Wesco libero as a sophomore.

“Delaney is a natural leader,” Shorewood head coach Jen Chartrand said. “Her work ethic and drive, along with her passion for this game, make her a valuable player. She’s a motivator and definitely leads by example on and off the court.”

Hopen has established herself not only as versatile, but also as one of the better players at the Wesco 3A level. With this season and next to play for the Thunderbirds, she only figures to get better.

“I expect her to stay true to herself, who she is and what she wants to do in the years to come, continue to keep an open, coachable mind and keep striving for the next highest skill level,” Chatrand said.

Sam Hayward Archbishop Murphy Sophomore | Outside Hitter Hayward burst onto the volleyball scene as a freshman, finishing with 250 kills and 154 digs. She was named a first-team All-Cascade Conference hitter. She is a key part of the Wildcats’ young nucleus that expects to challenge King’s for the conference championship and make a run at the state tournament.

“Sam has a unique blend of size and speed,” Archbishop Murphy first-year head coach Brandon Jones said. “She has the ability to rally with power or use a soft touch to dig and pass the ball.”

Despite being just a sophomore, Hayward is expected to be one of Archbishop Murphy’s leaders.

“Sam has a level of understanding for the game that reaches beyond her experience,” Jones said. “Sam will be in the conversation for conference MVP as a sophomore this season and will be a key contributor to our run at a state title.”

Marysville Pilchuck at Lake Stevens Friday, 7 p.m.

It’s been a non-league game for three seasons now, but the matchup between the Tomahawks and the Vikings rarely disappoints. Marysville Pilchuck won 37-24 last season, getting a bit of revenge after a 45-21 Lake Stevens victory in 2012.

Cascade at Everett Friday, 7 p.m.

The Battle for Broadway is always a big game for the Everett School District teams. Cascade has won two in a row, including a 52-6 victory last season.

Jackson at Marysville Getchell Friday, 7 p.m.

Upstart Marysville Getchell went to Auburn last weekend and beat Auburn Riverside — a playoff team a season ago — 25-21 on Saturday. The Chargers’ next challenge is Jackson, which is coming off a tough 35-14 season-opening loss to Edmonds-Woodway.

Local woman makes U.S. Open debut Herald news services Jacqueline Cako of Brier, and her mixed doubles partner, Joel Kielbowicz of Grosse Pointe, Mich., made their debuts in the main draw of the U.S. Open tennis tournament last week.

Cako, 22, and Kielbowicz, 31, faced Top 40 player Donald Young and Taylor Townsend, who lost to Serena Williams in the opening round of the women’s singles competition. Young and Townsend won the mixed match, 7-5, 6-3.

Cako and Kielbowicz earned a wild-card berth in the U.S. Open by winning the U.S. Open National Playoffs, held Aug. 20-23 in New Haven, Conn.

While this year’s tournament marked Cako’s debut in the main draw of the U.S. Open, she did compete in the U.S. Open juniors in 2008 and 2009.

Dragons place second Dragons FC, a high school team representing Mukilteo Youth Soccer, placed second at the prestigious Nike Mount Hood Challenge, held Aug. 8-10 in Portland, Ore. The Dragons posted a 2-1 (penalty kicks) win over the Washington Timbers in the semifinals, and then lost to Washington Crossfire 1-0 in the finals.

Last weekend the team competed in the Crossfire Redapt Cup in Redmond and won the high school Bronze Division. The Dragons defeated the Timbers 5-2 in the final, with two goals apiece from Brandon Wright and Will Kramer, and one goal from Garrett Peterson.

In addition to Wright, Kramer and Peterson, the Dragons’ roster includes Tanner Wilde, Alex Levin, Spencer Donnelson, Nick Watson, Dominik Smith, Simon Forster, Bill Cho, Tristan Bratvold, Josh Tremain, Enrique Bedolla, Jack Dinneen, Tyler Keele, Coby Coimbra and Jay Kamp.

The team is coached by Blaine Donnelson.

it was the fact that offense was coming from all directions. The eight goals against Kootenay were scored by eight different players, and 10 different players lit the lamp over the two games — Laurencelle and Tyler Sandhu were the only players to find the net twice. Sixteen different players hit the scoresheet in the two contests, with Sandhu, Kohl Bauml, Brayden Low and Ivan Nikolishin all registering three points.

Everett didn’t get much chance to work out the kinks in its power play.

The Tips went 1-for23 with the advantage during their first three exhibition games, but Everett received just four power plays during its two games in Kennewick, converting once.

Therefore, Everett did almost all its damage at even strength.

were more detailed with the puck in zone as well, so I think those were the reasons.”

Chemistry also comes into play. Everett may have 16 full-time players from last season still with the team, but everyone is having to adjust to new roles, as well as different linemates or defensive partners. After five games some of that chemistry is beginning to develop.

“I think it’s just finding the right guys to play with,” Laurencelle said.

“Guys are getting used to playing with each other, we’re making some lines that work together.

“We’re starting to play a lot better and a lot more focused,” Laurencelle added.

“We’re starting to play more as at team and we’re all jelling as a team right now. It’s going pretty good.”

The Tips hope the offensive momentum carries into its final two preseason games this weekend, a home-andhome set against Seattle with the team playing Friday night in Everett and Saturday night in Kent.

Young gets extra rest, will stay in rotation

TONIGHT’S GAME

Houston at Seattle, 7:10 p.m.

MLB AL LOGOS 0322913: 2013 American League team logos; stand-alone; various sizes; staff; ETA 3 p.m.

SEATTLE — Veteran righthander Chris Young will remain in the Seattle Mariners’ rotation but will again get extra rest before his next start.

Manager Lloyd McClendon confirmed Young will start Sunday in the series finale against Oakland at Safeco Field. That will be eight days after his five-inning outing last Saturday at Texas.

“He’s healthy,” McClendon said. “I said before, the only criteria was whether or not he was healthy. He’s feeling good. I’m going to back him off a little bit to give him some extra rest. But he’s healthy and ready to go.”

Young jeopardized his spot in the rotation with two poor starts prior to his five-inning outing Saturday in a 4-2 victory at Texas.

The prompted concerns that he was tiring due to his heaviest workload since 2007.

“He gave us a chance to win a ballgame (in Texas),” McClendon said. “That’s how I judge things.”

Lining up rotation The decision to keep Young in the rotation means the Mariners’ pitching plans are now tentatively set for the remainder of the season. Here’s how it looks for the remaining series: ■ Tuesday and Wednesday vs.

Houston: Roenis Elias and Hisashi Iwakuma.

■ Friday through Sunday vs. Oakland: James Paxton, Felix Hernandez and Young.

■ Sept. 15-18 at Los Angeles Angels: Iwakuma, Elias, Paxton and Hernandez.

■ Sept. 19-21 at Houston: Young, Iwakuma and Elias.

■ Sept. 22-25 at Toronto: Paxton, Hernandez, Young and Iwakuma.

■ Sept. 26-28 vs. Los Angeles Angels: Elias, Paxton and Hernandez.

Ackley to undergo MRI Left fielder Dustin Ackley was scheduled to undergo a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exam Monday night to determine the cause of his sore left ankle.

“We don’t know a whole lot right now until they get a look at it,” Ackley said prior to Monday’s game.

“It doesn’t seem like it’s anything crazy, (nothing) other than a little inflammation.”

Ackley left Saturday’s game at Texas because the increasing soreness was affecting his mobility. His left ankle has been a persistent problem in his career because of bone spurs.

Even so, he doesn’t believe it’s serious.

“I can still feel it in there when they move it around,” he said. “It’s one of those things. It might take a couple of days before it’s ready to go.”

Ackley is batting .291 with seven homers and 31 RBI in 45 games since the All-Star break in boosting his overall numbers to .251 with 11 homers and 60 RBI in 130 games.

Saunders activated The Mariners, as expected, activated outfielder Michael Saunders from the disabled list prior to Monday’s game against the Astros.

Because of Ackley’s injury, Saunders went right into the lineup as the starting right fielder. Endy Chavez shifted to Ackley’s usual spot in left field.

“From a conditioning standpoint,” McClendon said, “(Saunders) is ready to go. I don’t know if he’s game ready or not. I’m keeping my fingers crossed. Hopefully, he can jump-start us.”

Saunders said he feels fit after spending much of the last week working out at the club’s facility in Peoria, Ariz., in an effort to regain his strength and timing after losing 12 pounds in late August due to a viral infection.

“It was very similar to spring training,” he said. “There weren’t too many people down there. Some coaches and some of the staff. A few rehab guys.”

Saunders contracted the infection as he was nearing the conclusion of a rehab assignment at Triple-A Tacoma for a strained left oblique suffered July 10 on a swing in the eighth inning of a 4-2 loss to Minnesota.

“I was ready to go and felt great with my oblique,” he said. “That was before my illness. Pretty bad timing.

Once I gained back my weight, I could start getting conditioned and get my strength back.”

Saunders batted .276 prior to the injury with six homers and 28 RBI in 65 games.

Short hops One of the pitchers who Saunders faced during his time in Arizona was rehabbing left-hander Danny Hultzen, who is now 11-plus months into his recovering from major shoulder surgery. Saunders’ view: Hultzen, the second overall pick in the 2011 draft, is throwing well.

No one wants to face Mariners in playoffs

By Kevin Baxter Los Angeles Times

T

he Los Angeles Angels have the most victories in the major leagues and the second-place Oakland Athletics are leading the American League wild-card race. Yet, neither has been the best team in the AL West over the past five weeks.

Since July 26 no team in the division has played as well as the Seattle Mariners, who are in position to earn their first postseason berth since Ichiro Suzuki’s rookie season. They’ve gotten there with phenomenal pitching, the kind that could pave the way for a lengthy playoff run.

“We’ve been thinking a long time about playoffs,” said Rick Waits, the Mariners’ first-year pitching coach. “A lot of times it doesn’t matter which team you beat or you don’t beat. And it doesn’t matter how you get in.

“The idea is to get in and then anything can happen. We feel very good about getting in and we feel very good about winning it all.”

That’s big talk coming from the only AL franchise that has never played in a World Series.

But Waits’ team appears well armed to back that boast.

After running their winning streak to four games Friday with a victory over the Texas Rangers, the Mariners had a team earned-run average of 3.05 and a shot to become the first AL staff in four decades to finish a season below 3.00.

Felix Hernandez (14-5, 2.18 ERA) and Hisashi Iwakuma (14-6, 2.97) give Seattle the only rotation in the AL with two starters with ERAs under 3.00.

They’ve been complemented

by Chris Young (12-7, 3.46) and a bullpen that has a big leaguebest 2.44 ERA and a league-low 10 blown save opportunities.

All of which explains why the Mariners are the team no one wants to face in the postseason, where pitching and defense typically rule.

First, of course, they have to get there.

The Mariners are third in the

AL West, nine games back of the Angels with 20 to play, so a division title appears unlikely.

But Seattle was right on the heels of Oakland and just ahead of Detroit in the battle for the league’s two wild-card berths.

That makes every game between now and the end of the season important for Seattle, which plays 10 of its final 20 games against the Angels and Oakland and has only seven games left against teams with losing records.

“The closer you get to the end of the season, each game is even more important. But they’re important now,” Waits said. “You’re going to need a certain amount of wins to get in. What is that number? I don’t know.

“We’ve got a lot of tough teams to play from here to the end.”

Seattle followed an unusual path to playoff contention. A year ago, the Mariners finished fourth in the division for the fourth year in a row and lost at least 90 games for the fourth time since 2008. They excelled at nothing, posting an ERA of 4.31, better than only four other teams, and finishing 28th among 30 teams in hitting with a .237 average.

So management cleaned house, sweeping out manager Eric Wedge and his coaching staff. Wedge was replaced

by Lloyd McClendon, and a month later the Mariners moved to beef up their offense by signing free agent Robinson Cano to a 10-year, $240-million deal.

The pitching staff really didn’t come together until the spring, though, when Seattle signed former Angels closer Fernando Rodney and rescued Young, who had been released

by Washington a week before opening day.

Before bonuses, those two moves will cost the team $8.25 million this season, or about a third of what Cano will get.

But they’ve had a much bigger effect on the team’s success, because although Seattle’s offensive production has ticked

up only slightly with Cano, the addition of the 35-yearold Young, a former All-Star pitching for his seventh organization, brought depth and experience to a rotation that has had 10 men make at least one start.

The bullpen’s transformation was even more dramatic.

Seattle’s relief corps was the second-worst in the majors last season, but with Rodney, who began Monday leading the AL lwith 43 saves, at the back end, the Mariners have lowered their bullpen ERA by more than two runs. And after blowing nearly more than a third of their save chances in 2013, Seattle’s conversion rate of 82 percent is best in the AL. The staff is holding opponents to a .228 average, matching the lowest mark in the majors in at least a quarter-century.

Add in a defense that has the fewest errors in the league and is tied for the highest fielding percentage in the majors and general manager Jack Zduriencik has finally made good on his promise to win with pitching and defense.

Yet, even with the highprofile additions Seattle has made, Zduriencik turned the team around mainly with homegrown material. Fourteen of the 20 pitchers Seattle has used this season and six of its nine everyday players came up through its system.

“Any good organization that wants to sustain playoff contention every year has to be build from within,” said Waits, who was the team’s minor league pitching instructor before being promoted to the major league staff. “It’s come together at the same time with the guys that we’ve been developing.”

Whether they’ve come far enough to get the Mariners into the playoffs remains to be seen.

But if they make it, Waits likes their chances.

“I know we’re good. I know we’re not going to give any games away,” he said. “We’re not afraid to put anybody in there at any time. Let’s just play the games and see how it goes.”

From Page C1

It also prompted a pitching change, to Tony Sipp, for a lefton-left matchup against Michael Saunders. Jones stole second on a 1-1 pitch to Saunders, when then worked a walk by taking some borderline pitches.

Jones stole third on the first pitch to Miller, which prompted the Astros to shorten their infield — and their outfield.

Miller foiled that plan with a liner that got past right fielder Jake Marisnick for a two-run triple and a 3-1 lead.

The Astros replaced Sipp with Jake Buchanan but kept their infield in. Again, it didn’t work.

Austin Jackson grounded an RBI single up the middle for another run.

After that, Rodney just needed three outs for the arrow to fly.

Farquhar (3-1) inherited a 1-1 tie to start the Houston eighth and began the inning by walking Chris Carter.

After Jason Castro struck out, Carter took second on a delayed steal on a pitch to Marwin Gonzalez. The Mariners challenged the call at second, but the call stood after a review.

Mariners starter Felix Hernandez handed a 1-0 lead to the bullpen — specifically, Brandon Maurer — to start the seventh inning after the Mariners scored on Miller’s two-out RBI single in the sixth.

That run broke a scoreless streak of 15 innings for the Mariners, which dated to the eighth inning of Saturday’s victory at Texas.

The Astros quickly got even.

Saunders pulled Robbie Grossman’s deep fly back from over the right-field wall but couldn’t hold the ball. The play was initially called a homer, but the call was overturned on appeal.

But when the umpires awarded Grossman a triple, that brought a spirited protest from manager Lloyd McClendon, who argued it should have been a double. That protest resulted in McClendon being ejected.

M’s to open 2015 season at home against Angels

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

SEATTLE — Pause for a moment in assessing what has to happen over the next three weeks for the Seattle Mariners to reach postseason for the first time in 13 years.

Instead, look ahead to next year.

The Mariners and all other major-league clubs released their 2015 schedules Monday

morning in a coordinated effort primarily designed to boost season-ticket sales.

Some highlights: ■ The Mariners will open the season at home for the first time since 2008 when they play host to the Los Angeles Angels from April 6-8 at Safeco Field.

It’s just a three-game homestand, which is followed by a six-game trip — three at Oakland and then onto Los Angeles

to play the Dodgers for the start of interleague play.

■ The Mariners and other American League West clubs will play the National League West in interleague play.

For the Mariners, that means trips to the Dodger Stadium (three games, April 13-15), San Francisco (two games, June 15-16), San Diego (two games, June 30-July 1) and Colorado (three games, Aug. 3-5).

Marin Cilic of Croatia celebrates after defeating Kei Nishikori of Japan to win U.S. Open men’s singles title Monday in New York.

as an indication that the next tier was about to get a crack at the hardware.

Twelve months ago, Cilic missed the U.S. Open while serving a four-month ban after testing positive for a stimulant at a tournament in Germany in May 2013.

The International Tennis Federation initially sought a two-year punishment, but Cilic wound up with a shortened suspension on appeal. He said he ingested the substance unintentionally via a glucose tablet bought at a pharmacy and calls the process that led to his penalty unfair.

Cilic, whose only previous trip as far as the semifinals at a major came at the 2010 Australian Open, used the forced break from competition to improve his game.

And that work was on full display the past two weeks — particularly Monday, under thick gray clouds and in a strong breeze.

The 6-foot-6 (1.98-meter) Cilic, who is 25, and the 5-10 (1.78meter) Nishikori, 24, each is

Cilic beats Nishikori at U.S. Open for first Grand Slam title NEW YORK — Unable to play in the U.S. Open a year ago because of a doping suspension, Marin Cilic is now the tournament’s champion.

Croatia’s Cilic won his first Grand Slam title by beating Japan’s Kei Nishikori 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 on Monday at Flushing Meadows, using 17 aces — including four in one game — and the same powerful groundstrokes that helped him eliminate Roger Federer in the semifinals.

“This is (from) all the hard work in these last several years — and especially this last year,” Cilic said during the on-court ceremony, when he kissed his silver trophy and collected a check for $3 million.

The 14th-seeded Cilic prevented the 10th-seeded Nishikori from becoming the first man from Asia to win a major singles championship.

“Sorry I couldn’t get a trophy today,” Nishikori said, “but for sure, next time.”

There hadn’t been a matchup between players making their Grand Slam final debuts at the U.S. Open since 1997. Lopsided and lasting less than two hours, this hardly qualified as a classic.

“Both of us were pretty nervous in the first set, especially,” Cilic acknowledged. “When we got ourselves going, it was a bit better.”

Nishikori stunned No. 1 Novak Djokovic in the semifinals, and this was the first Grand Slam final since the 2005 Australian Open without Djokovic, Federer or Rafael Nadal, who won the U.S. Open in 2013 but is sidelined now by a wrist injury. That trio had won 34 of the past 38 major titles, but this was the second of this season that eluded them.

Some, including Cilic, had seen Stan Wawrinka’s victory at the Australian Open in January

coached by a guy with a Grand Slam title: 2001 Wimbledon champion Goran Ivanisevic, the last Croatian man to win a major, works with Cilic; 1989 French Open champion Michael Chang works with Nishikori.

“My team has brought something special to me, especially Goran,” Cilic said. “The most important thing that he brought to me was joy in tennis, and always having fun. And I think I enjoyed my best tennis ever here and played the best ever in my life.”

The Arthur Ashe Stadium artificial lights were on and the stands were mostly empty when the players walked out to the court at 5 p.m. — which was 6 a.m. in Japan, but did not prevent folks there from gathering to watch the popular Nishikori on TV. One indication of how far these two men have come: Their two previous U.S. Open meetings were in the second round in 2010, won

by Nishikori, and the third round in 2012, won by Cilic.

Karate From Page C1

Jefferson High School, has been doing karate for nine years and has made several international trips for tournaments, including visits to El Salvador, Malaysia, Mexico, Spain and Canada along with the recent competition in Peru.

“This was definitely one of my favorite trips,” he said.

“Usually when you go to an international tournament you don’t get to see the city that much, but this time we did. Peru is really an amazing place.

“And the team-bonding experience you get when go on these trips is amazing.”

Karate appeals to individuals of all ages who are self-motivated and disciplined, and have a strong determination to excel.

According to Casey Mills, head coach at Karate Northwest, athletes generally train from two to five days a week.

In preparation for their trip to Peru, Hicks and Hrycenko worked out five days a week, six hours a day, through most of the summer.

“With martial arts, the personal gains manifest themselves in many different ways,” Hicks said. “Bare bones minimum, they’re always going to walk out with better physical conditioning. And they’re always going to walk out with a sense of discipline and a sense of doing what needs to be done, when it needs to be done.”

For someone who embraces karate, it can be “a life-changing experience,” he said.

His own daughter Aleen, who is 18, started karate when she was 4. At the time “she was so introverted. People would look at her and she would (shy away). And then at the other end (of the spectrum), you have some people who are more aggressive. (Karate) brings them to center. And for me, seeing that personal

growth is huge.”

For Aleen Mills, who lives on Camano Island and is a 2014 graduate of Stanwood High School, karate is a way “of letting off steam. When I get stressed out — and I know this sounds really bad — I like hitting something. Just whaling on something and letting everything out.”

Aleen Mills is a past competitor at the Junior Pan American Championships, as is Theo Pardike of Mukilteo, a 16-year-old junior at Kamiak High School. For Pardike, the appeal of karate “is that it’s a disciplined sport. You have to come with the attitude, ‘This is what needs to be done.’ There’s not much time for fooling around.

“I can be in not such a good mood,” he added, “and then I come here and it all goes away and I feel better.”

Hrycenko said she appreciates knowing “that I’m progressing from where I started. At the beginning I was just a little thing and not really understanding what karate was. But now that I’ve gotten this far, I want to keep going, to get farther and farther, and to be able to do more things.”

Hicks, meanwhile, is hoping that he can someday compete in karate at the Olympics. The sport has not been added for either the 2016 or 2020 Games, but there is a chance it could be included in 2024.

“My ultimate goal is winning a senior world championship,” he said. “But if karate ever makes it to the Olympics, I definitely want to have the Olympic experience.”

Seeing his students excel is even more gratifying than what he achieved in his own competitive career, Casey Mills said.

“I was on the U.S. (national) team for several years and was a two-time world champion, and I’m very proud of those accomplishments,” he said.

“But being able to pass along the lessons that I’ve learned and then seeing what these guys are accomplishing, that’s the most rewarding thing for me.”
