EVERETT — On Wednesday night, when President Obama addressed the nation to muster support for military strikes against the Islamic State in Iraq, one family in particular was watching carefully. Abdul al Tamimi and his family left Iraq as refugees on Sept. 22, 1991. Shia Muslims from Karbala, in south-central Iraq, they were fleeing reprisals from Saddam Hussein’s forces in the aftermath of the Persian Gulf War, when the U.S.-led coalition drove the Iraqi army out of Kuwait.

EVERETT — Snohomish County on Wednesday named a new director to oversee countyowned Paine Field. In his new role, Arif Ghouse will face a host of opportunities and challenges in coming years at the airport. Paine Field could become home to a national composite material research lab and regular passenger flights. At the same time, the airport has to maintain good relations with neighbors, which include residents and the Boeing Co., and it has to deal with the state’s more-stringent water quality standards. The county had 59 applicants for the position. “This guy just rose to the top,” Snohomish County Executive John Lovick said. Ghouse will be leaving his job as duty manager at SeattleTacoma International Airport, where he is in charge of operations on the airfield and in the terminal. He has also held management jobs at George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston and all three of London’s airports, including Heathrow, one of the busiest in the world. He could not be reached for comment. Ghouse also has served as the Port of Seattle’s security and emergency preparedness director. “He understands the many issues facing airports today and the need to work collaboratively and be customer-service focused,” Lovick said. Ghouse starts at Paine Field next month. He will manage about 50 employees and a $19 million budget. He will succeed Dave Waggoner, who is retiring after 22 years at the airport. Waggoner said he intentionally stayed out of the selection process, which included the county executive and two county councilmen — Dave Somers and Brian Sullivan. “This is a tough job.

Explorer ship lost in Arctic located

‘Extreme’ solar storm on its way to Earth

By Rob Gillies Associated Press

By Seth Borenstein

Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A strong solar flare is blasting its way to Earth, but the worst of its power looks like it will barely skim above the planet and not cause many problems. It has been several years since Earth has had a solar storm of this size coming from sunspots smack in the middle of the sun, said Tom Berger, director of the Space Weather Prediction Center in Boulder, Colorado. The flare on the sun barely hits the “extreme” on forecasters’ scale, but with its worst effects missing Earth it is only looking “potentially strong” at most when it arrives at Earth as a solar storm, he said. New calculations from satellite data show that the worst of the energetic particles streaming

executive and the council,” Waggoner said. The county’s elected leaders have to have confidence in his successor, and he didn’t want to influence their decision, he said. “I felt it was really important that he be their guy.”

TORONTO — One of two British explorer ships that vanished in the Arctic nearly 170 years ago during a search for the fabled Northwest Passage has been found, Canada’s prime minister announced Tuesday in a discovery that could unlock one of history’s biggest mysteries and swell Canadian pride. Last seen in the 1840s while under the command of Rear Adm. Sir John Franklin, HMS Erebus and HMS Terror have long been among the most soughtafter prizes in marine archaeology and the subject of songs, poems and novels. Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s office said the well-preserved wreck of one of the vessels was found Sunday with the help of a remotely operated underwater vehicle. It was 11 meters (yards) below the surface, near King William Island, about 1,200 miles northwest of Toronto. Harper said that it is unclear which ship it is, but that sonar images yielded enough information to confirm it was one of Franklin’s. “This is truly a historic moment for Canada,” said Harper, who was beaming, uncharacteristically. “This has been a great Canadian story and mystery and the subject of scientists, historians, writers and singers, so I think we really have an important day in mapping the history of our country.” Harper said the discovery would shed light on what happened to Franklin’s crew. Franklin and 128 handpicked officers and men disappeared after setting out in 1845 for the Northwest Passage, the long-sought shortcut to

So while the power grid may see fluctuations because the storm will cause changes in Earth’s magnetic field, it won’t knock power systems off line, Berger said. It may cause slight disturbances in satellites and radio transmissions but nothing major. “We’re not scared of this one,” Berger said. The storm is moving medium fast, about 2.5 million miles per hour, meaning the soonest it could arrive is early Friday. But it could be later, Berger said.

Given the challenges and opportunities facing the airport, Lovick said, he is confident in the new director. Ghouse’s background at busy passenger airports was not necessarily significant, Lovick said. “What was important to me was that he is a good leader and manager.” Dan Catchpole: 425339-3454; dcatchpole@ heraldnet.com; Twitter: @ dcatchpole.

Parks Canada’s Ryan Harris explains the find from the Victoria Strait Expedition during a news conference in Ottawa on Tuesday. Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced Tuesday that one of two fabled British explorer ships, the HMS Erebus and HMS Terror, that disappeared in the Arctic more 160 years ago has been found.

Asia that supposedly ran from the Atlantic to the Pacific by way of the harsh, ice-choked Arctic. Historians believe the ships were lost in 1848 after they became locked in the ice near King William Island and the crews abandoned them in a hopeless bid to reach safety. Inuit lore tells of “white men who were starving” as late as the winter of 1850 on the Royal Geographical Society Island. For many years afterward, Franklin was celebrated as a Victorianera hero. Dozens of searches by the British and Americans in the 1800s failed to locate the wrecks, and some of those expeditions ended in tragedy, too. But they opened up parts of the Canadian Arctic to discovery and ultimately spied a Northwest Passage, though it proved inhospitable to shipping because of ice and treacherous weather. Canada announced in 2008 that it would look for the ships, and Harper’s government has poured millions into the venture, with the prime minister himself taking part in the search.

Harper’s government made the project a top priority as it looked to assert Canada’s sovereignty over the Northwest Passage, where melting Arctic ice in recent years has unlocked the very shipping route Franklin was after. Canada says it owns the passage. The U.S. and others say it is international territory. Ryan Harris, an underwater archaeologist helping to lead the Parks Canada search, said a sonar image shows some of the ship’s deck structures, including the main mast, which was sheared off by the ice when the vessel sank. He said the contents of the ship are most likely in the same good condition. The next step is to send divers to explore the ship and any artifacts. There is no current plan to raise it. Divers will see what kind of condition the hull is in. The exact location of the wreck was not disclosed for fear of looters. The discovery came shortly after a coast guard helicopter pilot spotted a dark, U-shaped object in the Arctic snow. The orange-brown hunk of

metal bore the markings of the Royal Navy. It was a davit — part of a lifting mechanism, likely for a lifeboat, for one of the two lost Franklin ships, the search team said. “That’s the clue that tells you: Look here. That’s the flag,” said John Geiger, president of the Royal Canadian Geographical Society. Geiger was with the search team. Andrew Campbell, a vice president at Parks Canada, said a combination of previous Inuit testimony, past modeling of ice patterns by the Canadian Ice Service, and the measurements of the two lost vessels — they are so similar they can’t yet be told apart — convinced the searchers that this was a Franklin ship. When the search team telephoned Campbell in Ottawa with the news early Sunday, “they cried, I cried. It was quite a moment,” he said. Queen Elizabeth II issued a statement saying she was “greatly interested to learn of the discovery of one of the long-lost ships of Captain Sir John Franklin” and she congratulated “all those who played a part in this historic achievement.”

New ferries leader comes from Pierce Transit On the verge of retiring, Lynne Griffith instead answered the call to become first woman to head the state ferry system. By Jerry Cornfield Herald Writer

OLYMPIA — Two months ago, Pierce Transit Chief Executive Officer Lynne Griffith announced she was retiring. Then Griffith heard from state Secretary of Transportation Lynn Peterson and others asking her to hold off and to apply to manage Washington State Ferries. She did, and Wednesday Peterson announced the hiring of Griffith

as an assistant secretary of transportation in charge of a listing ferry system. She will be the agency’s first woman leader when she begins the $144,768-a-year job next month. “Our ferry system is an iconic symbol of the state of Washington and a vital link in our statewide transportation system,” Peterson said in a statement. “It will be in good hands with Assistant Secretary Griffith.” Griffith inherits a ferry

system reeling from recent incidents including vessel breakdowns, design deficiencies with the Tokitae and canceled sailings. On Wednesday, Peterson delivered a 10-page memo to Inslee outlining steps she and Griffith will take to eliminate missed sailings due to lack of available crew and to reduce the number of cancellations resulting from equipment or mechanical failure. The memo calls for building a “culture of trust, respect, accountability and collaboration” with union workers and soliciting their ideas for low-cost or no-cost ways to prevent missed sailings due to

staffing issues. It also seeks to reach agreements with the U.S. Coast Guard to enable ferries to sail without a full crew “if we close off a deck and/or limit the number of passengers, regardless of season, for as many vessels and routes as possible.” In the memo, Peterson also talks about adding workers, training existing ones and making repairs to some of the fleet’s aging vessels. The governor’s office declined to comment on the memo. Griffith, a 35-year veteran of the transportation industry, said she knows her first foray into

Lynne Griffith

managing a marine transportation agency will be filled with challenges. But, she said, they are similar to those faced by transit agencies she’s led — the struggle to secure

adequate funding, satisfying customers, meeting targets for service and operating safely. Because she’s not a regular ferry rider, she intends to “get out on ferries pretty intensely” once she begins work. “I’ve invited union leadership to take me out, introduce me and show me what (workers) do,” she said. “I want to see and understand every inch of the vessels.” Griffith, 64, lives in Tacoma and has served as chief executive officer of Pierce Transit since April 2006. She announced in July she would retire at See GRIFFITH, Page A4

Arena’s new name is Xfinity By Chris Winters Herald Writer

EVERETT — Comcast Arena has a new name, effective Wednesday: Xfinity Arena. It might also be getting a boost after losing money last year. The arena is owned by the Everett Public Facilities District, which built the $71.5 million building in 2003 to help revitalize downtown Everett. It is managed by Philadelphia-based Global Spectrum under a contract that expires at the end of 2015.

The district also owns the community ice rink, which also is being rebranded with the Xfinity name. The city owns the land and the attached Edward D. Hansen Conference Center. The 10,000-seat arena’s problem is complicated, but much of it stems from operating in a competitive industry that experiences wide swings, depending on the overall health of the economy. Xfinity Arena posted a net loss last year, said Rick Comeau, Global Spectrum’s general

manager for the arena, although he wasn’t able to say exactly how much the arena lost. “Last year wasn’t a banner year for the facility, for sure,” he said. This year the arena seems to be closer to breaking even, Comeau said. Global Spectrum’s strategy is to program a wide variety of events, ranging from expos like the Everett Fall Home Show to entertainment events and concerts. On Sept. 18, the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey

Circus sets up for a four-day run, and Demi Lovato and Phillip Phillips have October tour dates at the arena. The arena has 37 dates booked between now and the end of the year, including most weekends. The plan at the start of 2014 was to book 14 events ranging from expos to one-time events like mixed martial arts or motorcycle ice racing, plus half a dozen concerts.

EVERETT — A 19-year-old man was found dead in his cell at the Snohomish County Jail late Tuesday night. Travis A. Nelson-Martinez of Sultan hanged himself, according to the county Medical Examiner’s Office. Nelson-Martinez was booked on arrest warrants by Everett police on Sept. 2, sheriff’s spokeswoman Shari Ireton said. He had been cited in Everett in June for criminal trespassing and cited in Arlington in July for third-degree theft. He was scheduled to be transferred to the Marysville Jail on Wednesday for court hearings in the Arlington case, Ireton said. In the county jail, Nelson-Martinez was being checked on by corrections officers every halfhour, Ireton said. He was found hanging in his cell during the 11:30 p.m. checks on Tuesday. Efforts to resuscitate him were unsuccessful. Nelson-Martinez was screened when he was booked, a process that included a mental-health evaluation, Ireton said. “There was nothing he said or did that triggered any concern,” she said. “He was in general population. He has no previous history with us, so we didn’t have previous medical or mental health history for him.” Sheriff’s detectives will conduct a death investigation, Ireton said. At least 11 people have died in the county jail since 2010, including at least one other suicide. Inmate deaths outside of the jail, including those who are rushed to the hospital, have not been included in that total. A 21-year-old man died at the hospital after hanging himself in the jail in July. The most recent death inside the jail was that of a 42-year-old Tulalip woman in May. Melissa Lee Bradford died from liver disease, according to the medical examiner’s office. Deaths in the jail have been the focus of multiple multimilliondollar legal claims and lawsuits against the county, and have led to a series of comprehensive reforms meant to address safety issues such as overcrowding.

Griffith: Inheriting a troubled system From Page A3

the end of the year but changed course after Peterson and a representative of a professional search firm approached her. She said she was “flattered” and “excited at the prospects” of the job. Griffith’s hiring drew praise from a Gig Harbor lawmaker who has been sharply critical of ferry management. “It’s an outstanding selection,” said Rep. Larry Seaquist, D-Gig Harbor. “She is an experienced, tough and creative leader.

She certainly starts with my full support.” Sen. Curtis King, R-Yakima, a co-chairman of the Senate Transportation Committee, said he’s met Griffith when she’s testified to the panel. “It’s nice we have a director for the ferry system,” King said. “I look forward to working with her as we try to move the ferry system forward.” Seaquist did express concern with Peterson’s apparent plan to keep Capt. George Capacci, the interim ferries chief, in the No. 2 role of the agency. Seaquist said the

acting chief and several other top administrators “have to go” if Griffith is to be able to get Washington State Ferries moving in the right direction for the long haul. “This is a big project to transform the culture and the operation of the organization,” he said. “This is not a quick turnaround.” Griffith met Capacci on Wednesday and described him as delightful. When she arrives, she said, “I will look at him as being my right arm.” As far as the long term, she said, it’s too soon to speculate on personnel

changes. Wednesday’s hiring culminates two rounds of search to find a successor to David Moseley, who stepped down in April. The first effort ended in June when Capacci, one of two finalists, withdrew. That left former Pierce County Executive John Ladenburg as the remaining candidate, and Peterson elected to not hire him. Griffith said she is now scheduled to start Oct. 6. Jerry Cornfield: 360352-8623; jcornfield@ heraldnet.com.

Western Hockey League’s Everett Silvertips dominate the calendar, and the fortunes of the team can help determine the year’s financial results. “If the Silvertips are successful and our food and beverage companies are successful, then we are successful as well,” Comeau said. But the business is also cyclical, and the arena often takes money earned in good years and puts it into a reserve to cushion it for the bad years. The concert business alone is highly competitive, and while Global Spectrum does some of its own promotion, it’s tiny compared to the two giants of the business, Live Nation, which manages the 27,500seat Gorge venue and 20,000-seat White River amphitheaters, and AEG Live, which manages

17,000-seat KeyArena in Seattle. “Live Nation is going to try and book as many shows as they can into facilities they own,” said Gary Bongiovanni, the editor-in-chief of Pollstar, a magazine and website that covers the live concert industry. According to Pollstar’s data, Live Nation reported more than 33.3 million tickets sold in 2013 and AEG sold 13.7 million. Global Spectrum only reported 220,247 ticket sales last year for all its properties worldwide, Bongiovanni said. Even noting that the numbers are voluntarily reported, Bongiovanni said, “Global Spectrum doesn’t have the same buying power that AEG or Live Nation does.” Comeau said that working with outside promoters is often key to landing names like Lovato, who is coming in

October, or One Republic, which played a sold-out show in June. The arena still labors under $50 million in outstanding debt, and its credit rating was downgraded earlier in the year, which would make it more expensive to issue new bonds or otherwise borrow money. But the city of Everett guarantees $27.4 million of the debt — the rest is guaranteed by revenue — and is currently refinancing it, using its own stronger credit to get better terms, said Debra Bryant, the city’s deputy mayor. When the arena’s bonds mature in 2026, the city becomes the owner of the facility. But even in bad years — in 2011, the financial crisis in Greece caused monthly payments on that debt to more than double to $39,432 per month from $14,646 per month — the

impact of the arena is best felt in the city itself. “It gave people a reason to get off the freeway and see who we were,” said Lanie McMullin, the city’s economic development director and a board member of the Public Facilities District. Given that Everett is a “fringe” city to a major metropolitan area, with all of the high costs of development that come with being close to Seattle, the arena has helped bring more than 700,000 visitors per year to the city. “For that reason, the arena has outperformed,” McMullin said. “I’m surprised it’s performed as well as it has,” she said. “It’s one of the best things we’ve ever done.” Chris Winters: 425374-4165; cwinters@ heraldnet.com.

each given $135,000 to their respective caucuses since spring. Both lawmakers are unopposed in November. Giving back in this manner is an expectation in each of the four caucuses and has reached the point where members feel a sort of peer pressure to give. It’s also an election ritual, which experienced donors understand, offers another way of participating in campaigns. They realize when they give to an incumbent who doesn’t need the money, their dollars could wind up assisting other candidates, and it’s all kosher. Kristiansen’s experience is instructive on how this all works.

Until this year, he had never raised $150,000 for a campaign. He’s already topped $180,000 — a gain he says is no doubt due in part to his “new capacity” as House Minority Leader. Kristiansen’s been assured of re-election since May, when no one filed to run against him. Yet contributions, many unsolicited, flowed into his campaign coffer through the August primary as if he was fighting for his political life. Many donors gave him the maximum $1,900 for the primary and general elections combined. Donations from locals will be kept in his surplus account for future campaigns, he said. Money received from outside the area is what he’s

transferred to the House Republican Organizational Committee to aid GOP candidates in Snohomish County and around the state, he said. So far that’s added up to $135,000. Kristiansen’s experience is typical of members in all four caucuses in the House and Senate. The House Democratic Campaign Committee leads all with $1.1 million in transfers from lawmakers since June. Eight members, including Chopp, gave at least $50,000. Voters probably didn’t anticipate such behavior when they approved Initiative 134 in 1992 to reform the state’s campaign finance system. That measure did permit lawmakers to make

transfers from their surplus accounts to caucus committees. But the newly formed Public Disclosure Commission determined that the initiative limited the amount to the maximum for a contribution to a candidate. In other words, a lawmaker would be allowed to give no more to the caucus than they could someone running for office — which today would be $1,900. The Legislature amended the law in 1995 to scrub the limit, and lawmakers have been active recyclers ever since. Political reporter Jerry Cornfield’s blog, The Petri Dish, is at www.heraldnet. com.

EVERETT — A man released from the Snohomish County Jail Tuesday didn’t savor his freedom for long. He was arrested a few hours later after allegedly stealing a purse from an 89-year-old woman at a Safeway on Broadway and knocking down the woman’s daughter as she tried to catch up with him. The

daughter, 65, was taken to Providence Regional Medical Center Everett with a hip injury. The man, 22, was arrested in the 1500 block of McDougall Avenue after witnesses gave chase.

59-year sentence for Seattle murder Associated Press

SEATTLE — A 22-yearold man has been sentenced to 59 years in prison for a gang shooting six years ago that killed a teen in Seattle. D’Angelo Saloy was convicted last month of murder

Gates Foundation to spend $50M on Ebola By Donna Gordon Blankinship Associated Press

SEATTLE — The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation announced Wednesday that it will spend $50 million — on top of $10 million already committed — to support emergency response to the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, marking the group’s largest donation to a humanitarian effort. “It became clear to us over the last 7 to 10 days that the pace and scope of the epidemic was increasing significantly,” Chris Elias, president of global development for the world’s largest charitable foundation, told The Associated Press. The Seattle-based foundation said the money will go to the United Nations, the World Health Organization, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and international organizations involved in fighting transmission of the virus. The money will be used to purchase supplies and to develop vaccines, therapies and better diagnostic tools. The foundation wants to help stop the outbreak as well as accelerate

development of treatments and improve prevention. Elias said they have been talking to the foundation’s partners around the world to assess the best use of its dollars and could not say yet how much would be spent on the emergency response and how much on research and development. “One of our key advantages is flexibility,” he said. Global health and development dominate the work of the foundation, which has given away $30 billion since 1997. The foundation formed by Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates and his wife reported an endowment worth $40 million, as of March 2014. The foundation was particularly influenced by the request on Friday by U.N. Secretary-General Ban KiMoon for $600 million to fight the Ebola outbreak. Ki-Moon said efforts in the next few weeks would be essential to stopping the virus that has killed more than 2,000 people in Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Nigeria. Some of the $50 million will support strengthening existing health care systems in the countries affected by the outbreak, the foundation said.

Banned Alexie novel can return to Idaho classrooms Associated Press

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Sherman Alexie’s “The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian” was the target of parent complaints.

BOISE, Idaho — The West Ada School District in southwest Idaho has put a National Book Awardwinning novel back in its curriculum after removing it six months ago amid parent complaints. Trustees voted unanimously on Tuesday to add “The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian” by Sherman Alexie to a supplemental reading list that teachers can use. Parents will have to give permission for children to read the book, and instruction will be limited to small groups. Also, the

Clinton bank robber may have bought time with hoax call Associated Press

CLINTON — An Island County sheriff’s officer says the man who robbed a bank on Washington’s Whidbey Island may have also placed a hoax 911 call moments earlier to make a bogus report of a murder and divert officers’ attention. KOMO-TV reported that Detective Ed Wallace says

a masked man armed with a black handgun walked into a Wells Fargo branch in Clinton on Monday and demanded money from a teller. Once he got the money, officers say the robber took an employee’s car keys and left the area in her Silver 2000 Toyota 4Runner Sport. While the robbery was occurring, several deputies were on the other side of

Whidbey Island to investigate a reported shooting. Wallace said 911 dispatchers received a frantic call saying a man had killed his girlfriend and was threatening suicide in the Freeland area. Wallace said the hoax 911 call delayed the police response when the bank robbery was called in. Police later found the stolen car, but not the robber.

Man hit by Sound Transit train Associated Press SEATTLE — Seattle police say a 45-year-old man has been hit by a Sound Transit train south

of downtown Seattle and is seriously injured. Detective Drew Fowler says officers responded shortly before 6 p.m. Wednesday. The injured

man was taken to Harborview Medical Center. The circumstances of the collision are under investigation. The man was not identified.

8 arrested in Bellevue $15 march Associated Press BELLEVUE — Police in Bellevue said they have arrested eight people for failure to disperse at the conclusion of a march in support of a $15 per hour minimum wage in that suburb east of Seattle. After trekking across a Lake Washington bridge that carries Interstate 90 between Seattle and Bellevue, about 150 marchers

gathered Wednesday evening outside a Bellevue fast-food restaurant. Organizers of the “We Are Rising” rally said earlier that some participants planned to risk arrest in peaceful civil disobedience. After some of the protesters sat down in a busy downtown Bellevue intersection, police made the arrests. KOMO-TV reported that

Malcolm Cooper-Suggs, who identifies himself as a local fast-food worker, says he took part in the rally because workers in the industry deserve better. Washington already has the nation’s highest state minimum wage at $9.32 an hour. The Seattle City Council voted in June to gradually raise the minimum wage in Washington’s largest city to $15 an hour.

2nd Northwest E. coli death reported Associated Press TACOMA — Authorities say a second Northwest child has died after contracting an E. coli infection while a 5-year-old boy being treated for E. coli complications remains in critical condition but is steadily improving in a Tacoma hospital. Health officials and relatives say all three children tested positive for E. coli bacteria. Relatives say 3-year-old

Brooklyn Hoksbergen of Lynden, Washington, died last Friday in a Seattle hospital. Whatcom County Health Department’s Dr. Greg Stern says she tested positive for a strain of E. coli known as O157. Stern says he knows of no link between her case and any other cases. Little Brad Sutton is being treated at Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital in Tacoma. He attended the same Labor Day weekend gathering in Lincoln

County on the Oregon coast as 4-year-old Serena Profitt of Otis, Oregon. She died Monday evening in Portland. The boy’s mother, Elizabeth Sutton, told The Oregonian that Brad and Serena shared a turkey sandwich at an Oregon restaurant. The two also reportedly swam in a pond together. Lincoln County officials have scheduled a Thursday news conference to discuss their E. coli investigation.

Body of fallen N. Bend climber found Associated Press NORTH BEND — A King County sheriff’s spokeswoman says the body of a climber who fell while climbing Mount Garfield near North Bend, Washington, has been located.

KOMO-TV reported that Sgt. DB Gates says the man in his 30s apparently fell while climbing the Infinite Bliss route with a female partner. Gates says the woman wasn’t hurt and walked out Monday to report the

accident. The spokeswoman says search crews located the body Wednesday and began recovery efforts. Gates did not release the victim’s name but said he was an experienced climber from North Bend.

Inmates can get more than postcards Associated Press TACOMA — A federal court said the Lewis County Jail cannot restrict inmate mail to postcards. Prison Legal News, a publication for prisoners, sued the county after jail officials refused to deliver its envelopes containing subscription information,

court opinions and other documents to prisoners. The jail had cited a policy adopted in 2010 stating that inmates can only receive postcards or softcover magazines. Lawyers for the county said postcards were easier to search for contraband than thick envelopes. But U.S. Magistrate

Judge J. Richard Creatura said the policy was a significant burden on the free speech rights of prisoners and their outside correspondents alike. Creatura issued a preliminary injunction Wednesday barring the county from restricting inmate mail to postcards only.

book can’t be read aloud because students who haven’t received parental permission might hear it. “We have protected the right of those who are pro or those who are con to choose,” said Mike Vuittonet, board chairman. “The freedom to pick and choose — that’s what our country is based on.” The novel is narrated by a 14-year-old whose transfer makes him the only Native American in an allwhite school. Objections are based on discussions of sex, abuse and alcoholism, and on racist or profane statements from some characters.

A committee of five district residents and 10 educators who reviewed the high school portion of the reading list made the recommendations to the trustees. “The themes in the book are timeless — the search for identity, conflict within one’s own culture, poverty, hope,” said committee chair and West Ada Language Arts Curriculum Coordinator Laura Gilchrist. “The book is not anti-Christian.” Committee member and mother Elizabeth Hume said children will someday enter the world and “dealing with those issues

in a responsible way is important.” Robin Crawford, a committee member with a senior and freshman at Mountain View High School, said she would allow her them to read the book. “We live in a world where you have to talk about things,” she said. “You can’t hide them.” Sharon Blair said the book violates her Christian values. She complained about the book and said she would continue to do so when the district again considers additions to deletions to the supplemental list.

What’s under Stonehenge? High-tech survey finds more ritual monuments and a huge timber building.

California: Oil train plans UNIVERSITY OF BIRMINGHAM

A researcher drives a survey vehicle near Stonehenge, where a hidden complex of archaeological monuments has been found using high-tech methods of scanning below the Earth’s surface.

CHARLES DHARAPAK / ASSOCIATED PRESS

President Barack Obama visits Stonehenge after leaving the NATO summit Sept. 5.

Vienna said the new maps makes it possible “for the first time, to reconstruct the development of Stonehenge and its landscape through time.” Archaeologists and others have been digging and theorizing at Stonehenge since the 1620s. The monument, 85 miles southwest of London, attracts more than 1.2 million visitors a year — including, last week, President Barack Obama. The universities of Nottingham, Bradford and St. Andrews in the U.K., and the University of Ghent in Belgium were also involved in the project.

Tea party plays nice this time “Republicans learned in the 1990s that government shutdowns can be painful, and they learned it again last year.”

Mile-long trains filled with millions of gallons of crude oil may be rolling through Kern County next year. The county Board of Supervisors on Tuesday unanimously approved a plan by Texas-based Alon USA Energy to send two 100-car trains a day to its refinery in Bakersfield. The plan also calls for upgrading the refinery, which has been in minimal operation since 2012. Authorities said it could create 200 temporary construction jobs and restore about 200 jobs at the plant.

Florida: Astronauts return Three space station astronauts are back on Earth. An American and two Russians landed early Thursday in Kazakhstan after 5 months aboard the International Space Station. They returned in a Russian Soyuz capsule that parachuted down through a clear sky. NASA said everything appeared to go well. NASA astronaut Steven Swanson and Russian crewmen Oleg Artemiev and Alexander Skvortsov flew to the orbiting outpost last March. Their departure leaves three men still up there: an American, Russian and German. The Russian Space Agency will launch a fresh three-person crew on Sept. 25.

Texas: Emergency landing A plane has landed safely in Austin after losing cabin pressure 20 miles away from the airport. Local media said 76 people were on board a Delta Airlines subsidiary Embraer 175 regional jet that took off from Austin and was headed to Los Angeles. The plane returned to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport just before 5:30 p.m. Wednesday. Loss of cabin pressure can lead to a decline in available oxygen and can become hazardous to crew and passengers.

Associated Press WASHINGTON — The tea party may have learned its lesson. As Congress finishes work on a must-pass spending bill set for votes next week, the most conservative lawmakers on Capitol Hill are eager to send a message on immigration, and stand firm against a government lending bank. But a year after they forced a 16-day partial government shutdown over President Barack Obama’s health care law, few seem to have the stomach to push their demands that far again. “No question we learned that with the aid of the news media the Democrats were able to pin the blame on us” for last year’s shutdown, said conservative Rep. Mo Brooks, R-Ala. This time around, Brooks said, “We need to pass whatever funding necessary to prevent a government shutdown, first and foremost.” Rep. John Fleming, R-La., another tea party-aligned lawmaker, said: “I don’t think any of us want to have a big battle” over the spending bill to fund government operations into December. Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy announced Wednesday that votes on the measure would be put off to next week to give lawmakers time to weigh the Obama administration’s request to include authorization to aid Syrian rebels fighting Islamic State terrorists. But that delay could create space for opposition against the bill to mount. Tea party Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, who played a lead role last year in goading House Republicans into shutting down the government over “Obamacare,” is urging House members to hold out for a spending bill that lasts until March rather than early December. That would ensure

Philadelphia plans decriminalizing pot PHILADELPHIA — The City Council is expected to pass a bill decriminalizing marijuana next week, after a review of drug arrests showed that city police were overwhelmingly targeting black men and women when enforcing marijuana laws, city officials said Wednesday. Mayor Michael Nutter and City Councilman James Kenney announced the agreement to decriminalize marijuana Wednesday, and Kenny will make necessary amendments to pass the bill at a Thursday council session. “This bill will not legalize marijuana. Rather, it will decriminalize marijuana, which means that offenses involving small amounts of marijuana will result in a civil penalty, not an arrest or criminal record,” Nutter said.

Associated Press LONDON — There is more to Stonehenge than meets a visitor’s eye. Researchers have produced digital maps of what’s beneath the World Heritage Site, using ground-penetrating radar, high-resolution magnetometers and other techniques to peer deep into the soil beneath the famous stone circle. The project produced detailed maps of 17 previously unknown ritual monuments and a huge timber building, which is thought to have been used for burial ceremonies, Birmingham University said Wednesday. “New monuments have been revealed, as well as new types of monument that have previously never been seen by archaeologists,” said Professor Vincent Gaffney, the project leader. The project also found big prehistoric pits, some of which appear to be aligned with the sun, and new information on Bronze Age, Iron Age and Roman settlements and fields, the university said. Professor Wolfgang Neubauer of the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Archaeological Prospection and Virtual Archaeology in

that the next round of fiscal negotiations takes place after a new Congress is sworn in — possibly with Republicans in control of the Senate. Some House conservatives who met with Cruz over pizza on Tuesday have embraced his strategy. “I think it’s a really bad idea to fund the government only until Dec. 11 and to create a fiscal cliff in a lame-duck session,” said one of them, Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky. It’s not clear how significant such opposition will be, especially if the spending bill attracts Democratic support as GOP leaders intend. Meanwhile other conservative lawmakers said they are leaning toward supporting the legislation crafted by GOP leaders, even though outside groups on the right are pushing for a “no” vote because it includes an extension of the Export-Import Bank. Many conservatives say the bank that lends to U.S. exporters amounts to corporate welfare. At the same time, conservatives — including Cruz himself — are signaling they won’t use the bill to make a stand over immigration. Cruz and others held a press conference this week demanding that Senate Democrats allow a vote on a House-passed measure to block Obama from using executive action to set immigration policy. But they stopped short of threatening to oppose the spending

bill if it doesn’t include such a measure. That represents a change from the final days before Congress’ August recess, when conservatives coached by Cruz and Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., forced House GOP leaders to scuttle legislation to deal with the unaccompanied minors at the border, and replace it with tougher measures. This time, “They’ll make their own decision about that over there,” Sessions said. “No one wants to be in a shutdown mode.” Even those conservatives who plan to oppose the spending bill for one reason or another appear to be doing so in full confidence that it will pass anyway, with some Democratic support. “When I looked at the bill I figured that the leadership’s already worked this out with the Democrats,” said Massie. Rep. Matt Salmon, R-Ariz., also plans to vote “no” but said: “I do anticipate it will pass. ... I don’t want to see a government shutdown, at all.” Last year’s shutdown amounted to a fiasco for the GOP, disgusting voters and damaging the party’s brand without doing anything to rein in Obamacare. One outcome was to strengthen the hand of party leaders, according to GOP aides, while also undercutting the credibility with House Republicans of the senators and outside groups who’d pushed for the shutdown, such

as Heritage Action and the Club for Growth. At the same time, the littleknown Export-Import Bank does not carry the political and emotional charge of Obamacare, while the immigration issue is not an immediate concern for most lawmakers since Obama announced he was postponing taking action until after the election. And with elections coming in November where Republicans hope to retake control of the Senate and pad their majority in the House, many have little interest in a messy dispute that could make them all look bad. “Sometimes you learn the hard way, but you learn,” said John Feehery, a Republican consultant who worked for former House Speaker Dennis Hastert. “Republicans learned in the 1990s that government shutdowns can be painful, and they learned it again last year. It seems like every generation needs to learn it themselves, but once they learn it, they keep it learned.” Well aware of the political calculations, Democrats have been doing what they can to fan talk of a shutdown. A press release from House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi’s office Wednesday declared “Far-Right Groups Urge Another Republican Government Shutdown” after Heritage Action and Club for Growth announced their opposition to the spending bill.

Experts have counted 32 whooping crane chicks that are expected to be part of a flock soon flying to Texas for their winter stay. The count was done at Wood Buffalo National Park in Canada, where the endangered birds breed. A park manager said about 40 percent of the nests counted in May successfully produced fledglings. He said the number of chicks is comparable to last year’s count and within the expected range. Officials expect the rare birds to begin arriving in mid-October at the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge in Austwell.

Maine: Death by elephant A veterinarian and co-founder of Hope Elephants, which cares for retired circus elephants, was killed when one of the animals stepped on him, police said in ruling his death an accident. Knox County Sheriff’s Office deputies said they found James Laurita, 56, unresponsive Tuesday in the barn at the foundation in Hope. Laurita appeared to have fallen before one of the foundation’s two elephants apparently stepped on him, police said, citing a medical examiner’s report.

He said Ford had been suffering from stomach pains for at least three months and they had worsened in the last 24 hours. “It became unbearable for him,” he said. From Herald news services

Health rates increase 3% The average employee deductible has increased 47 percent since 2009 to $1,217 annually. Los Angeles Times The price of employer health insurance rose a modest 3 percent this year, a major survey shows, but workers will be paying more when they get sick as deductibles soar. Annual insurance premiums for families increased 3 percent, on average, to $16,834, according to the survey released Wednesday by the Kaiser Family Foundation and the Health Research &

Educational Trust. Those results reflect a recent trend of slower growth in healthcare costs. But many employers and health-policy experts predict bigger increases for 2015 and beyond as the economy recovers. “Large employers are skeptical the current low trends will continue for a variety of reasons,” said Bill Kramer, executive director for national health policy at the Pacific Business Group on Health, which represents large employers such as Boeing Co. and Walt Disney Co. “Historically, periods of slow growth have always been followed by rapid increases,” Kramer said. Insurance offered by

employers is the primary source of health coverage for Americans, providing benefits to about 150 million people. Most employers will begin open enrollment for 2015 plans in the coming weeks. Even modest changes in medical costs have been difficult to absorb for many businesses and workers hurt by the Great Recession. Many employers have cut their financial exposure by foisting more costs on to workers. The average employee deductible has increased 47 percent since 2009 to $1,217 annually. Eighteen percent of workers face a deductible of at least $2,000. Workers typically must pay that amount before most medical services are covered by their

health plan. Some health-policy experts credit higher deductibles with helping hold down medical costs by discouraging people from getting care or motivating them to be savvier shoppers. But throwing up barriers to cost-saving preventive care is a potential downside. “Higher deductibles may be good if you’re relatively young and healthy,” said Drew Altman, chief executive of the Kaiser Family Foundation in Menlo Park, Calif. “But they may be a bad thing if you are lower or moderate income or chronically ill. This can be a real burden on the family budget.” See HEALTH, Page A10

Long-term unemployed struggle Of the 3 million longterm jobless, about one-third have been unemployed for more than two years. Los Angeles Times RUMFORD, R.I. — It has come down to this for Brian Perry: an apple or banana for lunch, Red Sox ballgames on an old Zenith TV and long walks to shake off the blues. At 57, Perry has been unemployed and looking for work for nearly seven years, ever since that winter when the Great Recession hit and he was laid off from his job as a law firm clerk. By his count, Perry has applied for more than 1,300 openings and has had some 30 interviews, the last one a good two years ago. With his savings running dry, this summer he put up for sale his one asset — a three-bedroom house his parents used to own in this suburb of Providence. “I’m not looking for pity, just one last opportunity,” said Perry, a boyish-looking man with bright blue eyes and a nasal New England brogue. The national economy, now in its sixth year of recovery, is gaining momentum and the unemployment rate has fallen sharply over the last year to 6.1 percent. But the number and share of people out of work for more than six months, the socalled long-term unemployed, remain at historically high levels. Of the 3 million long-term jobless today, about one-third have been unemployed for more than two years, Labor Department data show. A small minority — roughly 100,000 Americans like Perry — have been actively looking for at least five years. They might be called the super long-term unemployed. While

others have quit looking, taken early retirement or entered disability rolls, these workers have pressed on year after year despite the increasingly long odds of finding a new job. Extreme as their cases are, they reflect the devastating effects of the worst economic downturn in 75 years and how much the risks of being unemployed for extended periods have increased compared with the past. The longer people remain jobless, the more likely they are to suffer the scarring effects of unemployment that can hurt their earnings permanently and create a cycle of instability. Even as some get re-employed, research shows that many find themselves unemployed again before long. From 2008 to 2012, only 1 in 10 long-term unemployed person in a given month

had returned to steady, full-time work a year later, according to a study by Princeton University economists. Although relatively few workers are in this boat, experts call the problem deeply worrisome. “Just because you aren’t longterm unemployed doesn’t mean you won’t be tomorrow,” said Justin Wolfers, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. Having large numbers of people drawing food stamps, Medicaid and other public programs instead of being productive, taxpaying workers hurts the overall economy, he said. “The budgetary impact is quite large.” In many ways, Perry typifies the long-term unemployed. Like him, a disproportionately large share are single. Perry also

belongs to a group of older workers that has suffered the biggest increase in long-term unemployment in recent years. Perry has a two-year associate’s degree in liberal studies, and it turns out that jobless workers with that level of schooling have the longest duration of unemployment among all education groups, according to Labor Department statistics. “It might be that folks with associate degrees are skilled enough that they won’t take just any job, and spend more time looking for something better,” said Georgetown University economist Harry Holzer. At the same time, he said, employers “may not believe their skills are high enough for what they need in many cases.” Perry was laid off from his $15-an-hour clerical job in January 2008, a month after the official start of the Great Recession. He remembers that afternoon vividly: He came back to the office after lunch and “was told to leave now or at the end of the day,” Perry said. He left immediately, hurt by the way he was dismissed after 15 years on the job. He took with him vacation pay and a few weeks of severance, adding that to hefty savings that he had amassed over the years. He wouldn’t say how much, only that it was in the five figures. He had braced for a tough job hunt, especially given that Rhode Island’s unemployment rate has consistently run much higher than the nation’s. It was last at 7.7 percent, the highest after Mississippi’s. His first application was with the Biltmore Hotel in downtown Providence; his last with Brown University, where he eyed an opening for a storeroom attendant. In between, Perry has emailed and sent out resumes to See JOBLESS, Page A10

American Airlines said Wednesday it will become the first major airline to give its flight attendants tablet computers to replace traditional heavy paper manuals, and it expects the change to save it nearly $1 million a year. Flight attendants started using them exclusively this month. No longer relying on printing

and shipping updates for flight attendant manuals will save the company $300,000 annually, it said. And switching to the lightweight 5.3-inch Samsung tablet from the nearly 5-pound paper manual will save the company nearly $650,000 in fuel a year based on current fuel prices, American said. It estimates that using tablets will also reduce the amount of carbon dioxide emissions by 2,100 metric tons, or 4.6

Boeing donates early 787 model to air museum The Boeing 787 that starred in the company’s globe-trotting Dreamtour in 2012 is being donated to the Museum of Flight in Seattle. The airplane was the third Dreamliner and is a huge addition for the musuem’s collection. But the donation is only possible because Boeing has struggled to find buyers for early production 787s, which required extensive modifications and rework. The airplane is slated to arrive Nov. 8, said Ted Huetter, a museum spokesman. The Dreamliner is important to the evolution of commercial air travel. It has helped airlines move away from traditional hub-andspoke systems. Instead, the twin-aisle jetliner has allowed them to open longer routes with less demand. Boeing used this particular 787 in its 2012 Dreamtour, a six-month trip visiting airports around the world.

Microsoft may pay billions for Minecraft Microsoft, maker of the Xbox video-game console, is in discussions to acquire Mojang, the software company behind the popular game Minecraft, for more than $2 billion, three people with knowledge of the talks said. Microsoft, the world’s largest software maker, is in serious talks with 4-year-old Mojang, said the people, who asked not to be named because the negotiations aren’t public. The deal may be concluded as soon as this week, though next week is more likely, said two people. A purchase of Mojang would be the biggest deal struck since Satya Nadella took over as Microsoft’s chief executive officer in February, succeeding Steve Ballmer.

Recreational pot outsells medical Colorado is now selling more recreational pot than medical pot, a turning point for the newly legal industry. Tax records released by the state Department of Revenue on Wednesday showed that the state sold $29.7 million worth of recreational marijuana in July, the most recent data available. That was slightly higher than the $28.9 million worth of medical marijuana sold in the same month. Since January, Colorado has reaped more than $37 million in taxes from marijuana.

California workers will get sick leave Gov. Jerry Brown signed legislation Wednesday that will require most California employers next year to provide up to three sick days for millions of workers. “This is the least we can do,” Brown said after signing the bill at a ceremony in downtown Los Angeles, alluding to a growing income gap that has left many Americans struggling to make ends meet. Supporters said as many as 6.5 million workers — including temporary and part-time employees — will benefit from the law that becomes effective in July. From Herald news services

Market Report THE DAILY HERALD

THE DAY ON WALL STREET U.S. stocks broke two days of losses Wednesday as a jump in Apple shares helped push indexes higher. Apple rose 3.1 percent, its biggest gain since April, a day after announcing new versions of the iPhone, a smartwatch and a mobile payment system. The company is the largest component of both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq indexes. Gains in the broad market were muted as investors fretted over the timing and pace of Federal Reserve increases in interest rates. “People are afraid the Fed will raise rates too quickly,” a Wells Fargo Funds Management strategist said. — Associated Press

Senior citizens burdened with student debt Associated Press WASHINGTON — Rosemary Anderson could be 81 by the time she pays off her student loans. After struggling with divorce, health problems and an underwater home mortgage, the 57-year-old anticipates there could come a day when her Social Security benefits will be docked to make the payments. Like Anderson, a growing percentage of aging Americans struggle to pay back their student debt. Tens of thousands of them even see their Social Security benefits garnished when they cannot do so. Among Americans ages 65 to 74, 4 percent in 2010 carried federal student loan debt, up from 1 percent six years earlier,

Health From Page A9

For a change this year, the growth in employer health premiums was close to the annual increase in workers’ wages at 2.3 percent and inflation of 2 percent. However, the longer-term trend hasn’t been encouraging for U.S. workers. Since 1999, workers’ share of health premiums has shot up 212 percent, nearly four times as fast as wage growth nationwide, the survey found. In 2014, the average worker paid $4,823, or 29 percent, toward the $16,834 family premium. Workers contribute $1,081, or 18 percent, for the average employee-only

companies in practically every industry. He’s written about his plight to politicians, including President Obama, whose office replied twice with standard letters starting “Dear Friend.” The president has sought to help long-term jobless by enlisting some 300 companies to sign a pledge that they would review their hiring practices to make sure they are not unfairly screening out or otherwise discriminating against

according to a Government Accountability Office report released Wednesday at a Senate Aging Committee hearing. For all seniors, the collective amount of student loan debt grew from about $2.8 billion in 2005 to about $18.2 billion last year. Student debt for all ages totals $1 trillion. “Some may think of student loan debt as just a young person’s problem,” said Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., chairman of the committee. “Well, as it turns out, that’s increasingly not the case.” Anderson, of Watsonville, California, amassed $64,000 in student loans, beginning in her 30s, as she worked toward her undergraduate and graduate degrees. She said she has worked multiple jobs — she’s now at the University of California, Santa

Cruz — to pay off credit card debt and has renegotiated terms of her home mortgage, but hasn’t been able to make a student loan payment in eight years. The amount she now owes has ballooned to $126,000. “I find it very ironic that I incurred this debt as a way to improve my life, and yet I still sit here today because the debt has become my undoing,” Anderson said at the hearing. Despite not making payments, she’s managed to keep the education debt in good standing, she said. Ed Boltz, a bankruptcy attorney in Durham, North Carolina, who is president of the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys, said many of the seniors he sees with student loan debt

are also struggling with challenges such a medical problems, job loss or divorce. Some, he said, went back to school with hopes of making a higher salary and that didn’t pan out, or the children they helped fund to attend school are not in a position to help the parent in return. “They are stuck with these debts and they can’t try again,” Boltz said. “There’s no second act for them. It holds off on people retiring.” The GAO found that about 80 percent of the student loan debt by seniors was for their own education while the rest was taken out for their children or other dependents. It said federal data showed that seniors were more likely to default on loans for themselves compared with those they took out for their children.

premium of $6,025. The survey found that 55 percent of U.S. firms offered health benefits to their workers, down from a recent high of 69 percent in 2010. The offer rate is far higher among larger firms. The survey shows that 92 percent of employers with at least 50 workers already offer health coverage to at least some of their workers. Starting next year, some larger businesses could face penalties under the Affordable Care Act if they don’t offer health benefits. Those health-law requirements don’t apply to small businesses with fewer than 50 full-time employees. Employers are trying a number of strategies to keep medical costs in check. Some businesses give workers financial

incentives to use a select group of hospitals and doctors for common surgeries such as knee and hip replacements. Firms want to reward medical centers that offer quality care at a reasonable price. Other employers will only pay up to a certain amount for a surgery at recommended hospitals, called reference pricing, and require workers to pick up the difference if they seek more expensive treatment elsewhere. There are also numerous efforts under way to better coordinate care and give patients facing high deductibles more cost information upfront so they can find the lowest price for an imaging test or routine procedure. “We are pleased the recent cost trends are lower,” Kramer said. “But we know there is as much as 30 percent overuse and

waste in the current healthcare system. Overall costs are still way too high.” The national survey published Wednesday included responses from 3,139 public and private firms with three or more employees. In other findings, more employee health plans are subject to provisions of the Affordable Care Act, such as preventive care at no cost. The survey found that 26 percent of workers have “grandfathered” plans exempt from some aspects of the health law compared to 48 percent two years ago. PPO, or preferred-provider organization, plans remain the most popular option among employees nationwide. Nearly 60 percent of covered workers select those broad network plans while 13 percent opt for an HMO, often at a cheaper price.

Jeff Zients, director of the National Economic Council and assistant to Obama for economic policy, said the companies are living up to their promise. “We’ll have data to show their progress soon.” But Perry said his long unemployment continues to be seen by some employers as a big black mark on his forehead. Sometimes, Perry avoided thinking about the heap of rejections by gorging on junk food and soda, even as he stopped eating out and cutting back on other spending. His weight climbed to 220 pounds — until Feb. 10. That afternoon, while talking with a

neighbor in the backyard, Perry was sweating and breathing heavily. His neighbor called 911, and Perry spent the next four days in the hospital, where cardiologists put in a stent, later followed by three more. It didn’t cost him a penny because it was covered by the state’s healthcare program for those who can’t afford it. Since then, Perry has followed a strict diet. He lost 40 pounds and his waist shrank from 48 to 40 inches. Now when he gets stressed or discouraged, Perry said, he walks for an hour or two around his working-class neighborhood. Perry doesn’t remember the last major purchase that he made; his biggest living expense, apart from $555 a month for

an $85,000 mortgage, is $120 a month for Internet, telephone and TV. He doesn’t own a car or a cellphone. In winter, he keeps the thermostat at 63 degrees. Still, Perry said, he has drawn down his savings to four digits, so two months ago he listed his colonial-style house for $299,000. Perry has lived in Rhode Island his entire life and wants to stay. But if he can’t find a job soon, he said, he’s prepared to move to someplace warm like Florida, where he won’t have to worry about heating bills. “That’s one big plus,” he said with a laugh. “You know how expensive it is to heat a house.”

IN OUR VIEW | An anniversary and a presidential address

Sept. 11 and the forever war Americans mark the 13th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks against the backdrop of last night’s on-the-offensive ISIS address by President Obama. Thirteen. When today’s seniors at Everett High School fumbled in kindergarten, panic flickered on a screen. History takes years to come into focus. That week in September, Gov. Gary Locke reassured Washingtonians that the Hanford Nuclear Reservation and the Columbia and Snake River dams were secure. Secure? After 9/11, we could suddenly conjure worst-case images. Fear migrated from the ruins of the World Trade Center to Naval Station Everett. This was no ordinary attack,

presaging no ordinary war. In his 2014 documentary “The Unknown Known,” Academy Award-winning filmmaker Errol Morris asks former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld about Dora Farms. That’s the forgettable place in Iraq where the U.S. tried but failed to kill Saddam Hussein prior to the 2003 invasion. Would Hussein’s death have averted war? The Islamic State emerged from al Qaida in Iraq, which didn’t exist before the 2003 invasion. Al Qaida sprang from the Mujahideen who battled the Soviets after its 1979 invasion of Afghanistan and who were armed by the United States. Unintended consequences writ large.

On Sept. 16, just five days after the horror of 9/11, Vice President Dick Cheney told Tim Russert on “Meet the Press,“ “We also have to work, though, sort of the dark side, if you will. We’ve got to spend time in the shadows in the intelligence world. A lot of what needs to be done here will have to be done quietly, without any discussion, using sources and methods that are available to our intelligence agencies, if we’re going to be successful. That’s the world these folks operate in, and so it’s going to be vital for us to use any means at our disposal, basically, to achieve our objective.” For the George W. Bush Administration, the dark side included waterboarding,

extraordinary rendition of prisoners to countries open to torture, and a twisting of the rule of law through the extrajudicial detention of enemy combatants at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. In 2009, President Obama signed an executive order banning the use of torture, but the United States continues to navigate the dark side through drone warfare and covert ops. For many, the ends justify the means. We live in a dangerous world. How will last night’s announcement of a broad coalition to destroy ISIS be viewed through history’s lens? Like 9/11, like so much of history, the lessons take generations to settle.

But he didn’t make it to the top two, Republican Bob Reedy did. I have worked with and know Robert Reedy for many years. I am convinced that he would make a far better state senator than the one we have now. He is fiscally responsible and focused on constituency service. He will not promote a state income tax on top of everything else that the people have voted down over and over again. He will bring a sense of responsibility to Olympia that has been sadly lacking by our district representatives. I recommend Robert Reedy and will vote for him.

Reconcile use with Medicare

I have also sent this letter to Sens. Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell and Rep. Rick Larsen. My 91-year-old wife, Alice, has been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, Parkinson’s, compressed and cracked vertebrae bones. She has been suffering with pain for years. She is in an Everett rehab facility having sleepless and pain-filled nights. Powerful medication has had little or no effect to relieve her pain. I discussed with the medical officials in this facility of trying to use medical marijuana ointment to see if that would help give Alice some temporary relief. Even our state has legitimized the use of medical marijuana. I was told that federal regulations prohibit the use of medical marijuana. The facility depends on federal funding for Medicare and other federal funding. That funding could be stopped and the doctor and nurses could lose their licenses. I am asking our federal legislators to please initiate legislative efforts to get federal relaxation for the use of medical marijuana in chronic pain cases and for now to try to get a waiver to allow the use of medical marijuana in my wife’s severe problem.

■■I-594

It’s de facto gun registration Initiative 594 has four fundamental flaws: 1. It does not stop firearms from getting into the hands of criminals by theft, unauthorized use and stupidity. 2. It does stop a legally authorized firearm owner from committing a criminal act. 3. It creates a new criminal activity from a previously legal activity. The owner and buyer in any firearms transaction are now subject to a criminal code that will likely, make both parties ineligible to even own firearms if state laws are not followed. 4. It is de facto gun registration. Not only do you have to get permission to own a firearm, you must also have permission to sell your personnel property and the only way to enforce this action is for the state to keep a record of who owns firearms, and who wants to buy them. Universally, driving an automobile has the most

extensive state controlled training, licensing, registration and insurance requirement of any common public activity. In addition the purchase of alcoholic beverages is restricted by age and controlled by picture identification (typically a driver’s license, which is weird). And yet people still drive drunk/impaired! I don’t see I-594 as a solution to a problem anymore than having a driver’s license solves drunk driving. The aim of gun control organizations is to eliminate the private ownership of firearms, and it does not matter if a law is effective or not effective it is held up as an example that more gun control is needed.

Don’t disparage women’s rights Let’s talk about the letter, “Speak out for the most vulnerable”: 1. Virtually all abortions that happen during the last trimester are done because a) something is drastically wrong with the fetus or b) the mother’s health is endangered. Do some research before you imply that dozens of women do this every day. 2. The resultant child of a 12- or 13-year-old mother is painfully vulnerable if raised by a mother who is still a child. 3. Why disparage women’s rights in the name of something that cannot exist for even a nanosecond outside of that specific woman’s uterus? 4. To force a woman to remain pregnant and give birth against her will not only makes her vulnerable (reducing her to the status of a brood mare), it’s a slippery slope to forced birthing or even worse, forced abortion.

Stepping warily onto the battlefield

ASHINGTON — For President Obama, this is gut-check time on Iraq. He is moving the nation back onto a pitiless battlefield, with a war plan that is long on good intentions and short on clarity about the ultimate mission. It’s a wrenching moment: A president who for several years seemed allergic to American involvement in the Iraqi and Syrian wars is being drawn into this conflict by circumstances that even the skeptics agree require American action. Obama kept his distance despite the deaths of 200,000 Syrians, but apparently can’t do so any longer after the beheading of two Americans. “We have to do it,” says Zbigniew Brzezinski, a former national security adviser and the dean of a group of strategists who met with Obama Monday night. But he cautions that “because the conflict is likely to spread to other countries, and to last longer than we expect, we have to avoid the mistakes we made after September 11, 2001,” of seeming to launch a global war DAVID IGNATIUS on terror. This time, argues Brzezinski, the U.S. needs to rely on its Muslim allies, such as Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Jordan, rather than making it America’s fight. Obama has come gradually and reluctantly to his conclusion that U.S. military action is necessary against the self-described Islamic State that has taken root in Iraq and Syria. But there are some obstacles and potential dangers that are hidden in the fog of policy. These aren’t arguments against strong policy so much as warnings of possible unintended consequences: — What’s the exit strategy? As Obama begins his effort to “degrade and ultimately destroy” the Islamic State, his aides told The New York Times the campaign could take three years. How will the U.S. and its allies know when they have “won”? Or will this be more like the Cold War, a decades-long ideological battle punctuated by periods of intense local combat? If so, are the American people ready for such a long and patient struggle? — If Obama is serious about using U.S. military power against the Islamic State, why has he initially been so tentative? Militarily, a sudden, sharp attack makes more sense than a drizzle of airstrikes. There may be sound political reasons for the cautious U.S. approach, to force countries in the region to step up and make commitments themselves, but this goes against military logic. — The U.S. may begin with the limited goal of helping allies fight the Islamic State, but what if the campaign goes badly, or it spreads more widely to Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, or the U.S. homeland is hit in retaliation? We may plan a restrained campaign, but the enemy gets a vote. Won’t the U.S. inevitably have to escalate if it seems to be losing? — What about the jihadists’ safe haven in Syria? The U.S. learned in Vietnam and Afghanistan that it’s almost impossible to stop an insurgency that maintains a strong logistical base across a protected border. If the U.S. intends to strike targets in Syria eventually, how does it avoid becoming the air force of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad? — Isn’t America implicitly allying with Iran, no matter what the two countries may say publicly? I think the answer is yes, and that this implicit cooperation is actually one of the potentially beneficial features of the campaign. But at a time when Iranian-backed extremists in Hezbollah also threaten regional stability, this is a strange brew, indeed. What needs to be de-conflicted aren’t just the two nations’ drones, but their regional policies. — Who is going to take this fight doorto-door in the densely populated Iraqi cities of Mosul, Ramadi and Fallujah — to say nothing of Raqqah and Aleppo in Syria? The U.S. Joint Special Operations Command perfected a new kind of killing machine against al-Qaida in Iraq. Who will be JSOC’s successors in the battle against the Islamic State? I suspect that U.S. special forces will have to join this fight, too, as “advisers,” or wearing different hats as CIA covert operators. And, finally, the hardest question: Is America walking into a trap that has been constructed by the Islamic State -- launching attacks that will rally jihadists around the world? From everything the jihadists proclaim in their propaganda, we can sense that they have been dreaming of this showdown. This is why America needs to make sure that, with every step it takes, it is surrounded by Muslim friends and allies. David Ignatius is a Washington Post columnist.

Obama orders airstrikes in Syria By Julie Pace Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Opening a new military front in the Middle East, President Barack Obama authorized U.S. airstrikes inside Syria for the first time Wednesday night, along with expanded strikes in Iraq as part of “a steady, relentless effort” to root out Islamic State extremists and their spreading reign of terror. “We will hunt down terrorists who threaten our country, wherever they are,” Obama declared in a prime-time address to the nation from the White House. “This is a core principle of my presidency: If you threaten America, you will find no safe haven.” Obama announced that he was dispatching nearly 500 more U.S. troops to advise and assist Iraqi security forces, as well as conduct intelligence and reconnaissance flights, bringing the total number of American forces sent there this summer to more than 1,500. He also urged Congress anew to authorize a program to train and arm Syrian rebels who are fighting both the Islamic State militants and Syrian President Bashar Assad. Obama’s plans amounted to a striking shift for a president who rose to political prominence in part because of his early opposition to the Iraq war. While in office, he has steadfastly sought to wind down American military campaigns in the Middle East and avoid new wars — particularly in Syria, a country where the chaos of an intractable civil war has given the Islamic State space to thrive and move freely across the border with Iraq. Speaking on the eve of the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, Obama’s plans were also an admission that years of American-led war in the Middle East have not quelled the terror threat emanating from the region. Obama insisted that his plan to “degrade and ultimately destroy” the Islamic State militants would not involve returning U.S. combat troops to the Middle East. Even so, he acknowledged that “any time we take military action, there are risks involved, especially to the servicemen and women who carry out these missions.”

“But I want the American people to understand how this effort will be different from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. It will not involve American combat troops fighting on foreign soil,” he added. The president’s speech, which lasted about 15 minutes, followed a summer of deliberation at the White House over how to respond to the violent Islamic State militants. While administration officials have said they are not aware of a credible threat of a potential attack by the militants in the U.S., they say the group poses risks to Americans and interests across the Middle East. Officials are also concerned about the prospect that Westerners, including Americans, who have joined the militant group could return to their home countries to launch attacks. In recent weeks, the militants have released videos depicting the beheading of two American journalists in Syria. The violent images appear to have had an impact on a formerly warweary public, with multiple polls in recent days showing that the majority of Americans support airstrikes in both Iraq and Syria. The U.S. began launching limited airstrikes against Islamic State targets in Iraq earlier this summer at the request of that country’s former prime minister. But Obama vowed that he would not commit the U.S. to a deeper military campaign until Iraq formed a new government that allowed greater participation from all sects, a step Iraqi leaders took Tuesday. Officials said Obama plans to proceed with both the broader airstrikes in Iraq and the strikes in Syria without seeking new authorization from Congress. Instead, he is to act under a use-of-force authorization Congress passed in the days after 9/11 to give President George W. Bush the ability to go after those who perpetrated the terror attacks. Obama has previously called for that authorization to be repealed, but he has also used it as support for strikes against terror targets in Yemen and Somalia. Obama said his approach in Syria is modeled after those long-running U.S. counterterrorism campaigns. But it is different in

important ways, starting with the fact that it marks the first time since 9/11 that a U.S. president has authorized the bombing of terror targets in another nation without seeking permission or at least notifying it in advance. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, praised Obama for acknowledging the “grave and growing threat” that Islamic extremists pose, but he said Obama was coming to that conclusion far too late. “He has finally begun to make the case the nation has needed him to make for quite some time: that destroying this terrorist threat requires decisive action and must be the highest priority for the United States and other nations of the free world,” Boehner said. As if to answer the criticism that he has been too cautious, Obama declared of his plan: “This is American leadership at its best.” Obama is seeking authorization from Congress for a Pentagon-led effort to train and arm more moderate elements of the Syrian opposition. Even before his remarks, congressional leaders were grappling with whether to support that request and if so, how to get such a measure through the fractured legislature before the November elections. The White House wants Congress to include the authorization in a temporary funding measure lawmakers are expected to vote on before adjourning

later this month. Republicans have made no commitment to support the request and the House GOP has so far not included the measure in the funding legislation. A spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said the Nevada Democrat might opt to seek separate legislation. While the CIA currently runs a small program to arm the rebels, the new version would be more robust. Obama asked Congress earlier this year to approve a $500 million program to expand the effort and put it under Pentagon control, but the request stalled on Capitol Hill. Some of Obama’s own advisers, including former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, pressed him to arm the rebels early in their fight against Assad. But Obama

resisted, arguing that there was too much uncertainty about the composition of the rebel forces. He also expressed concern about adding more firepower to an already bloody civil war. The White House announced Wednesday that it was also providing $25 million in immediate military assistance to the Iraqi government as part of efforts to combat the Islamic State. The Treasury Department will also step up efforts to undermine the Islamic State group’s finances. David Cohen, Treasury’s undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence, wrote in a blog post that the U.S. would be working with other countries, especially Gulf states, to cut off the group’s external funding networks and its access to the global

financial system. The U.S. has been pressing allies in Europe, the Middle East and elsewhere to help with efforts to degrade the terror group. France’s foreign minister said Wednesday that his country was ready to take part in airstrikes against extremist fighters in Iraq if needed. And the German government announced that it was sending assault rifles, ammunition, antitank weapons and armored vehicles to Kurdish forces in Iraq fighting, breaking with Berlin’s previous reluctance to send weapons into conflicts. Secretary of State John Kerry, who met with Iraqi leaders in Baghdad Wednesday, was also scheduled to attend a conference with Arab leaders Thursday to discuss their role in confronting the militants.

approval. And they chimed in on the president’s line that ISIS fighters aren’t true Muslims because they killed other Muslims. “That’s what we need,” Abdul said. “But they have to be a little quick to do this,” Khalid al Tamimi said, because taking too long would allow ISIS to gain more strength. He also thinks Obama’s promise of another 475 military advisers to train the Iraqi army might not be sufficient to take back the country. “It’s going to take a little more,” Khalid said, pointing out that when ISIS came to Mosul, the northern city they now hold, many Iraqi army soldiers changed sides. Everett has one of the largest populations of Iraqi immigrants in the Pacific Northwest. The exact number of Iraqi immigrants in the area isn’t known, but Doaa al Maly, a family service assistant for the Everett Housing Authority, estimates more than 100 families now live in Everett. Al Maly is from Samawah, in south central Iraq, and her family left the country at the same time as the al Tamimis.

America and Iraq are friends now. America must help Iraq. — Abdul al Altamimi Everett resident who immigrated to the U.S. in 1994

She was five when her family fled the country, and she has no memory of living there as a child. “I have no memories of Iraq,” she said. “I went back in 2012 and visited family and that’s where I got married and met my husband.” She and other Iraqis of her generation grew up in America, but tried to maintain Iraqi traditions. She started wearing a hijab, a colorful headscarf, when she was seven, early for Iraqi girls. “We were raised in this community, I don’t think any of us ever rebelled,” she said. At the same time, the constant violence is a source of sadness and frustration for Iraqis of all generations, especially with the reports of women kidnapped as war prizes, murdered children, the slaughter of 1,700 captured

Iraqi soldiers in Tikrit and the videotaped beheadings of two American journalists. When Saddam Hussein was overthrown in 2003, Abdul al Tamimi and many other Iraqis in Everett staged a spontaneous parade downtown in celebration. Khalid al Tamimi, then 25, got a tattoo on his forearm of the map of Iraq. Hopes for a return to peace faded in the ensuing civil war, however, and a temporary calm that pervaded toward the end of the American occupation collapsed this year with the rise of ISIS. Abdul al Tamimi maintains that Iraq’s citizens have been the real victims of the decades of war that has gripped the country, a situation he views with a mix of frustration and sadness. He strongly suspects that

the Islamic State receives funding from Saudi Arabia, and that this is the latest continuation of the hostilities between Sunni and Shia that date back to just after the founding of Islam as a religion. Both the Islamic State and Saudi Arabia are dominated by very conservative strains of Sunni Islam, although Saudi Arabia is nominally a U.S. ally in the region. “Shia aren’t working with Daish,” he said, using the acronym for the Arabic name of the Islamic State. “We don’t like to kill other people,” he said. The Islamic State, however, is targeting everyone: Shia, Sunni, Yazidi, Kurd. “They have no respect for anyone,” Khalid said. Abdul al Tamimi, who said his father was killed by Saddam Hussein’s regime in 1977 for being too outspoken, hopes the U.S. will be able to restore peace in Iraq, and keep Iraq together. “America and Iraq are friends now. America must help Iraq,” he said. Chris Winters: 425374-3165; cwinters@ heraldnet.com. Twitter: @ Chris_At_Herald.

Dogs sniff out pollution in Bremerton creeks By Rachel Anne Seymour Kitsap Sun

BREMERTON — Molly and Kona sniffed Monday through Enatai Creek in East Bremerton, searching for what no one wants in their water and every dog loves to stop and smell — poop. The two dogs, that are with Environmental Canine Services, are helping the Kitsap Public Health District search for stormwater pollution, specifically human feces contamination, that will flow into local rivers, lakes and Puget Sound, according to Stuart Whitford, the health district’s water pollution identification and correction program manager. It is the first time dogs have been used to check for water contamination in Kitsap County. On Monday, the dogs sniffed out sites in East Bremerton, Central Kitsap and North Kitsap. If the dogs find a contaminated water source, they work their way up stream with their handlers to locate the source, according to Karen Reynolds, Environmental Canine Services president. “We heard these dogs were successfully used in California and the East Coast, so we wanted to see if it could help us identify sources here. And also, if we can prioritize those drainages impacted by sewage then it will help us be more efficient in the field,” Whitford said. The health district tests samples from shorelines of creeks, lakes and bays throughout the year for bacteria. Every shoreline is sampled twice every four years, once during the dry season and again in the wet season, according to

environmental health specialist Kimberly Jones. The health district is separate from the county and a majority of its funds come through Clean Water Kitsap, a partnership program with the county. While waiting for test results takes time, the sniffing canines

can speed up the process of searching for contamination and its source. “The dogs are useful because if they can alert to something in the field then it will be quicker for us to investigate it to the source,” Whitford said. “The bacteriological

tests, we’ll get those back within a few days. Of course, the dog assessment is immediate.” Bacteria tests show feces or E. coli is present, but it doesn’t differentiate between humans and animal feces. The dogs are trained to only signal for human feces by

laying down. Although the dogs didn’t signal for human feces in Enetai Creek, they were laying down all along Washington Avenue’s storm drains Monday, according See DOGS, Page B2

Legal pot grows create new demand for NW power By Phuong Le Associated Press

SEATTLE — As more marijuana producers move their plants indoors over the next two decades, the grow operations in Washington state are expected to need as much electricity each year as what a small Northwest city consumes, according to an energy forecast by regional power planners. Demands on the Northwest electrical grid would grow further if Oregon voters pass a

ballot initiative in November to legalize recreational pot use, the Northwest Power and Conservation Council said. The council, which develops a long-term power plan for Washington, Oregon, Idaho and parts of Montana, has been studying the impacts of electricity needs for operations that grow legal marijuana indoors in Washington state. New energy demand among growers of marijuana is estimated to expand to as much as 163 megawatts a year by 2035.

That represents about 10 percent of what Seattle uses annually, or roughly what a small city such as McMinnville, Oregon, uses, said Tom Eckman, the council’s power planning director. Still, it makes up less than 1 percent of overall regional electricity use. “We’re trying to ensure that we have adequate, affordable power supply,” Eckman said. The analysis will be incorporated into long-term energy demand forecasts for the region, which is used by Bonneville

Power Administration and regional utilities for planning. Since Washington voters in 2012 approved an initiative to legalize recreational pot use by adults, the state Liquor Control Board has so far issued more than 200 licenses to marijuana growers out of about 2,500 who have applied. Most producers grow pot outside, but they may start to move more operations into warehouses to get continuous harvests or have better control over the amount of light plants

receive. Indoor grow operations can be energy intensive, requiring electricity for grow lights or air conditioning systems to cool warehouses and control humidity. The power council is in the process of developing a 20-year regional power plan for electrical needs in the Northwest and pays close attention to new and emerging energy uses, such as indoor marijuana operations, new data centers and electric vehicle charging, Eckman said.

ranging from 42 inches in diameter at the base to 18 inches in diameter at the top. Final assembly will take several days before a crane hoists the pole into a 23-foot hole. The pole will rest on concrete in a sleeve packed with sand to withstand earthquakes and winds up to 150 knots, said Steve Symonds, CEO of Symonds Flags & Poles, the manufacturer in Fort Worth, Texas.

RICHLAND — Workers have entered one of the most dangerous rooms at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation. The so-called “McCluskey Room” in the Plutonium Finishing Plant is named after worker Harold McCluskey. He was covered with radioactive material in 1976 when a glove box exploded. McCluskey, who was 64 at the time, lived for 11 more years and died from causes not related to the accident. He became known as the Atomic Man. The room has largely been closed since the accident. But workers are now proceeding with a year-long cleanup of the room as they get the Plutonium Finishing Plant ready for demolition. Cleaning up the McCluskey Room is expected to take a year.

The reservoir was lowered 26 feet after a 65-foot crack in the spillway was discovered in February. In May, the utility determined the crack stemmed from a math error during construction in the early 1960s. The Dam continues to generate electricity at a reduced level, the utility said.

Vancouver: Hospital didn’t spread hep C Clark County Public Health says investigators have found no evidence that patients at PeaceHealth Southwest Washington Medical Center were exposed to hepatitis C. The Vancouver hospital sent letters to 936 former patients in May advising them to be tested because they may have been exposed by an employee with the blood-borne liver disease. The employee was suspected of diverting drugs for personal use. The hospital says experts reviewed its infection control practices and found no further concerns. From Herald news services

contamination is where the dogs can help. They can quickly locate a source, which is often a leaking septic tank, cracked sewage line or a sewage line that has been accidentally or illegally connected to a stormwater drainage system, according to Reynolds. The health district also is sending water samples to the University of Washington’s Center for Urban Waters in Tacoma, where they will be tested for chemicals likely to be in human feces, such as caffeine and over-the-counter medications, as well as their digestive byproducts, Whitford said. Results can take up to a month to be finished and returned to the health district. The tests will help determine the most effective means of tracing feces contaminated water, Whitford said. Chemical testing can be expensive compared to the bacteria tests. Bacteria tests cost $10 to $15 per sample test, while chemical testing can ranging from $300 to $700 a sample, Jones said. More samples are recommended for the less expensive chemical tests, which can recommend as many as 100 samples for each site, according to Shawn Ultican, the health district’s senior environmental health specialist. “Our concern is public health. People walk on these beaches. Kids play in the water,” Ultican said. “We don’t want people to get sick.”

TWIN FALLS, Idaho — Seven daredevils have expressed interest to succeed where Evel Knievel failed 40 years ago to jump the Snake River Canyon in southern Idaho, but bad memories and resident resistance continue to haunt the stuntmen’s dreams. However, the Times-News reports that only one team appears viable in launching a rocket across the canyon. Hollywood stuntman Eddie Braun and son of the engineer who built Knievel’s rocket Scott Truax say their jump is a tribute to Knievel while also hoping to cure history. “A successful, well-organized jump would go a long way in curing some of those wounds,” said Mayor Don Hall. Those opposed to the jump remember the Knievel event as a fiasco that left the town with a stack of unpaid bills. Twin Falls resident Doug Fisher said he doesn’t understand why anyone would want to recreate the jump. “To do it technically would be something of an engineering feat to not get someone killed,” he said. In 1974, Knievel failed to make it over the canyon and then failed to pay vendors for their services. Forty years later, Twin Falls is smarter about what to expect from a daredevil wanting to jump the canyon, said City Councilman Chris Talkington, but that knowledge has made some residents hesitant to welcome them in. “I don’t care, frankly, if one or 20 people jump or rocket or parachute or glide or vaporize themselves from one side to another,” said Talkington. “The old Snake River Canyon has taken many lives from carelessness and foolishness. It is always ready to take more.”

Oregonâ€™s third-tallest mountain is a tough climb By Zach Urness

days in September â€” and even mid-week â€” the trail can feel like a shopping mall escalator. A sunny weekend day in August and September can see upwards of 400 people attempting to climb South Sister at once. â€œYouâ€™ll find less people out there on a Wednesday, but to be frank, there really isnâ€™t a way to avoid a busy setting,â€? said Jonathan Erickson, lead wilderness ranger for Deschutes National Forest.

Statesman Journal

SISTERS, Ore. â€” As first-time climber Adam Rosalez stood in the shadow of Oregonâ€™s thirdtallest mountain on a perfect September morning, he couldnâ€™t help but wonder exactly what he was getting into. The 29-year-old Minnesotanâ€™s only experience with mountains involved riding a chairlift up them or admiring them from a distance, and the number of trails heâ€™d hiked could be measured on one hand. Yet here he was, about to ascend into the thin air of South Sister, a 10,358foot volcano that stands above Central Oregon like a gigantic ice-cream cone. â€œSo. exactly how hard is this going to be?â€? he asked. Four hours later, after a grueling climb of more than 5,000 feet, through a treeless desert of pumice and snowfields that exist year-round, he would have his answer while sitting atop what might be Oregonâ€™s most spectacular view. From the summit, Middle and North Sister rise so close it feels as though all it would take would be a good jump to land on the tops of the two 10,000-foot volcanoes. Beyond, the string of Cascades including Jefferson, Hood, St. Helens and Adams stood out like snow-capped islands in the sky. â€œThat was one of the hardest things Iâ€™ve ever done in my life, but also the most rewardingâ€? Rosalez said. â€œThis is the first time that Iâ€™ve really been able to grasp what it feels like to be on a mountain. Itâ€™s an amazing experience.â€? Itâ€™s a common feeling for those who climb this peak. Known as the perfect summit for first-time

mountaineers, South Sister has inspired a generation of climbers who become life-long enthusiasts (some even become celebrities in the process). But the same things that make it so appealing to the average Joe also make it perilous.

Nothing close to easy South Sister is not an easy summit by any measure. From the Devils Lake Trailhead, about 30 miles west of Bend, the 11.6mile round-trip journey climbs a whopping 5,083 feet. Even those in good shape will have legs of cement by the dayâ€™s end. What sets this mountain apart is the trail that climbs all the way to the summit. In contrast to many of Oregonâ€™s tallest mountains, which require

routefinding or technical equipment and knowledge, South Sister only requires the ability to put one foot in front of the other many, many times. The trail is typically free of snow by August and September. An iceaxe and crampons arenâ€™t needed during this part of the season. The easier nature of the climb does pose some problems. Many people on the trail have little experience with the thin air above 9,000 or 10,000 feet. Even more dangerous is what can happen if a storm blows through. Do not climb in crummy, or even potentially crummy, conditions. Weather that seems halfway decent at the trailhead is almost certainly worse at 10,000 feet. The best advice? Start early, check conditions,

take your time and bring plenty of water and snacks.

More than just the summit The climb up South Sister isnâ€™t just about reaching the top. With the exception of the first 1.5 miles of forested trail, the hike showcases so many beautiful views that tripping over amateur photographers snapping photos is a hazard. The plateau at mile 1.7 features South Sister in all its glory. A trail on the right takes hikers down to beautiful Moraine Lake, emerald green with views of Broken Top in the distance. After mile 3, the trail starts to shoot uphill with a vengeance, climbing 1,800 feet in 1.5 miles to an overlook that from

below fools many into thinking itâ€™s the summit. Not so, but this flat plateau does feature a milky green lake from snowmelt off Lewis Glacier and a view of the final push up a reddish scree slope to the summit. The final stretch is 1 mile and 1,330 feet to the summit ridge, followed by a celebratory half-mile stroll around the volcano rim, past Teardrop Pool, Oregonâ€™s highest lake, to the actual summit. Make sure to take some time enjoying the summit before heading down. Most people take around eight hours to complete the climb.

Crowds Iâ€™ve written about it more than once, but crowds are a serious issue here. On bluebird weekend

The experience of climbing South Sister is often enough to get people who never expected to become mountaineers into the sport. One famous example is Corvallis native Jon Krakauer, author of bestselling books â€œInto the Wildâ€? and â€œInto Thin Air,â€? who took his first trip up South Sister when he was 8 years old. That trip would spark the author to become a self-proclaimed â€œclimbing bumâ€? and eventually the pre-eminent adventure writer of the last 25 years. A more local, and more common story, is that of Gates couple Cathy Lazarus and Stephen Rockford. Already in their 50s, a friend took the couple up South Sister. They loved it so much they joined local outdoor club The Chemeketans and proceeded to climb 45 mountains in just three and a half years. â€œWe had so much fun,â€? Lazarus said in a February 2013 interview with the Statesman Journal. â€œRight away we were sold. We wanted to keep doing more.â€? After his first climb, Rosalez had a similar reaction. â€œMan, I want to do that again!â€? he said.

M’s lose second straight to Astros Houston beats Iwakuma and Seattle 5-2 By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

SEATTLE — This wasn’t a killer loss Wednesday night for the Seattle Mariners when they fell 5-2 to the Houston Astros at Safeco Field. Heck, two of the

other three primary wild-card contenders also lost. But, brother (as M’s announcer Dave Sims might say), it’s hard not to see this as a lost opportunity. The Mariners ran out Hisashi Iwakuma, their secondary ace, and against a rookie making his

major-league debut. And opportunity soon beckoned when the scoreboard revealed losses by Detroit and Oakland. Instead, the Mariners coughed up a fur ball. Houston right-hander Nick Tropeano (1-0) won his debut after yielding two runs in fiveplus innings before the Astros’ bullpen closed out his victory.

Lefty Darren Downs inherited a 4-2 lead when he replaced Tropeano after a leadoff walk to Michael Saunders in the sixth. Downs struck out Robinson Cano and got Kendrys Morales to ground into a double play. The Mariners mustered little else over the rest of the game. Iwakuma (14-7) yielded three two-out runs in the second inning

and failed to survive the fifth. The Astros had a run in and runners at first and second when Dominic Leone replaced Iwakuma. Leone stranded both runners by striking out two hitters, which left Iwakuma with a final line that showed four runs and six hits in 41⁄3 innings. See M’S, Page C6

Rice video has profound impact on Hawks’ Carroll

By David Krueger

“Actually, I was surprised,” Mike Bartley said, assessing his team’s three-goal shutout. “We’ve worked hard (in preseason), but it’s our first game and I know how good (the Tomahawks) are. They went to state last year ... so I was very happy with our performance.” On a sunlit evening at Terry Ennis Stadium, Archbishop Murphy sophomore forward Talia Daigle scored the season’s first goal, coming free on a breakaway eight minutes before halftime. She veered to the left as she neared the goal, and then sent a left-footed kick into the far right corner of the net. As a first-year varsity player, “Talia is an unknown,” Mike

ENTON — The past week has changed the way Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll views domestic violence and the athletes involved in such crimes. He also knows it shouldn’t have taken a video of an NFL star punching his then-fiancee in an elevator for such change to come about when it comes to his views on domestic violence, particularly when it comes to making personnel decisions regarding players who have been charged with or convicted of such crimes. “It will never be the same,” Carroll said. “Unfortunately I’ve got to admit my awareness is different than it was, and I don’t think it will ever be the same as it was. I’m glad that I can say that now, because hopefully we can maybe head off any kind of issue that could come up in the future.” Carroll, like so many others, knew before this week that former Ravens running back Ray Rice had been involved in some sort of domestic violence incident in an Atlantic City casino in February. And Carroll, like so many others, still was stunned by what he saw when TMZ released a video of Rice knocking Janay Palmer, now his wife, unconscious with a punch. For months we’ve all known that Rice dragged an unconscious Palmer out of that casino elevator, so it was clear something awful happened. But Monday’s video changed things. “Unfortunately we had to see an incident that elevated our awareness to really get to the right place,” Carroll said. “It’s unfortunate we have to learn the hard way sometimes, but I think that’s really what I would say. I talked to the team about it today, we talked about the serious nature of it. ... Unfortunately we had to learn that way.” Unfortunate is an understatement here. This outrage about Rice, and domestic violence as a whole is long overdue, this reaction is coming far, far too late. And yes, unfortunately it took people seeing such a horrific act on video to have the reaction we should all have every time we hear about a man beating his wife, fiancee or girlfriend. Our legal system routinely fails domestic violence victims, and yes, in some cases so does the NFL, handing out little or no punishment to players who have been charged with such crimes, only to later plead to a lesser charge. And even after the latest bombshell in the Rice story, an AP report that the NFL did indeed get a copy five months ago of the tape it denies having seen before Monday, it sadly is completely plausible that the NFL didn’t go out of its way to get

Concussions, and other traumatic brain injuries, have received their share of attention lately — mostly in football. However, such injuries are also prevalent in other sports, including girls soccer. According to a 2013 study cited by momsteam.com, a website that provides information on health and injury prevention in sports, soccer ranks second to football in the number of trips to emergency rooms for traumatic brain injuries. Another study on the website showed that basketball and soccer had the highest rates of concussions for girls, with female soccer players 40 percent more likely to be concussed as their male counterparts, according to the Center for Disease Control. “It’s definitely taken seriously by us,” Edmonds-Woodway girls soccer coach Bill LeCompte said. “Girls soccer is the second-leading concussed rate in the United States. We’re very cognizant of it. We have to be. The reality is girls are going up and colliding. As a coaching staff, we’ve got to watch it.” See CONCUSSIONS, Page C3

EVERETT — Because it was the first game, Archbishop Murphy girls soccer coach Mike Bartley and his players were unsure what to expect in the season opener against Marysville Pilchuck on Wednesday night. As it turned out, they probably got more than they hoped for. The Wildcats scored a goal late in the first half and two more early in the second half to defeat visiting Marysville Pilchuck 3-0 in the annual Battle of the Bartleys, pitting Mike Bartley against his brother Paul Bartley, the Tomahawks’ head coach.

reat weather on Saturday greeted just under 1,000 participants in the Edmonds Coho Derby, which turned out to be quite similar to the 2013 event. The number of tickets sold was comparable; the total fish weighed in, 331, was in the same ballpark as last year’s 395; and the first-place coho, at 11.15 pounds (dressed weight), was very close to the 11-pound, 8-ounce 2013 winner. Knowledgeable Puget Sound salmon fishermen have been saying the in-Sound coho run so far is not up to expectations, and that the fish are smaller than usual. Local anglers have been reporting a lot of coho in the 3- to 4-pound range, certainly, a little smaller than expected, but the run size seems to be reasonably close to 2012 and 2013, which were widely said to be good coho years. State Fish and Wildlife Department creel checks at the Port of Everett ramp have been pretty positive the past several days. Some 167 anglers were tallied Friday with 150 coho; on Saturday, 227 with 119 fish; and Sunday, 425 with 197 coho. Those aren’t bad numbers for the local fishery, outpaced only by parts of the Strait of Juan de Fuca where, for instance, 99 anglers on Saturday had 150 coho at the Ediz Hook, Port Angeles public ramp. At the Edmonds Derby, first place and $5,000 went to Daniel Lejnieks, with the above-mentioned 11.15-pounder; second and $2,000 to Mike Bachtel at 8.8 pounds, and third, worth $1,000, to Kari Ross at 8.7 pounds, all dressed weights. Alex Johnson won the youth division, at 6.59 pounds; second went to Hunter Don Holscher, at 6.06 pounds; and third went to Justin Long at 5.64 pounds. Information on where the fish were taken is sketchy, but the shipwreck appeared to be a

popular and productive area. Gary Krein of All Star Charters in Everett didn’t fish the derby, but he said action has been pretty good right in front of Edmonds and from about two miles north of town to two miles south, for the last week and a half. “Pretty good numbers but quite a few smaller fish,” he said. Krein recommends glow green/white hoochies or Coho Killer spoons, and said some fishermen were doing well going down 70 to 90 feet, or even deeper, instead of the usual 30 to 40 feet. Mike Chamberlain at Ted’s Sport Center in Lynnwood said coho fishing has been fairly good for beach anglers at Bush and Lagoon points, and Fort Casey on the west side of Whidbey Island, and at West Beach near Deception Pass. Most folks in that fishery are tossing Buzz Bombs, Chamberlain said, in chartreuse or green, or fishing a float/herring rig. The outgoing tide is best, he said. There are also a few early coho being caught in the Snohomish and Skagit rivers, Chamberlain said, mostly in the lower-end tidal water and mostly on trolled plugs. Action should continue to build through about mid-October.

Everett coho Next up is the 21st running of the Everett Coho Derby on Sept. 20-21, with headquarters at Everett Bayside Marine. This one’s starting to be known as a big-money event, with the 2014 grand prize standing at $10,000 and donated by Bayside Marine, Harbor Marine, John’s Sporting Goods and Silver Horde. Prize money for second through fourth places has also been significantly increased, and everyone buying a derby ticket will be entered in a raffle for an Alaskan fishing adventure,

including the Washington Waterfowl Association. Most everyone should find something of interest, John said. Free hot dogs and drinks from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. To get there, go north on I-5, take Exit 230 to Highway 20, turn left (west) toward Anacortes. Go under the freeway and turn left at the first stoplight. Holiday Sports will be on your right. — Wayne Kruse presented by King Salmon Adventures and Three Rivers Marine.

Bits and pieces Hanford Reach is picking up for fall chinook, and fishing should get better between now and the end of October. This could be a blue ribbon year for the Reach, with a record run of fall kings coming up the Columbia. But get on ‘em quickly, as they tend to darken rapidly. Perch fishing is good in Lake Washington. Kevin John at Holiday Sports in Burlington says the Samish has been pretty good for chinook since the last rain, casting spinners on a high tide, or eggs and other bait on a low tide, for kings to 25 or 30 pounds. The lower Skagit has also been a possibility for coho lately, John said, from Sedro-Woolley upstream, casting plugs such as Brad’s Wigglers, and Vibrax spinners, in green or chartreuse.

SEAHAWKS | Notebook

Walters to replace Thomas as punt returner By John Boyle Herald Writer

FOOTBALL 5:20 p.m. 950 Pittsburgh at Baltimore

PICK OF THE WEEK | Holiday Sports bash

RENTON — It appears Earl Thomas’ career as a punt returner may be short-lived, at least for the time being. Seahawks fans got the news many of them have been hoping for ever since Pete Carroll decided to let the All-Pro safety try his hand at punt returns when the head coach announced Wednesday that while Thomas is still available to return punts should a need arise, receiver Bryan Walters will be the primary punt returner going forward. But while many have expressed concern about Thomas being exposed to injury risk while returning punts, Carroll said that had nothing to do with the decision, but rather that he was worried Thomas’ focus on his

all of the information in this case. Because if the court system was going to let Rice clear his name by going through a pretrial intervention program after knocking his fiancee out with a punch, and if the victim, as is often the case in domestic violence situations, isn’t cooperative, then the league isn’t going to be motivated to dig deeper. Why shine a brighter light on an ugly situation that would only make the league and a team and its star player look worse when it can all be swept under the rug with a paltry twogame suspension? Well here’s why: because it’s time that the NFL and sports and most importantly all of us

primary job was being affected by his punt return duties. “I think the focus from Earl on the punt thing is so much because he wants to do so well, that I’d like to take that off of him,” Carroll said. “So he’s going to still be available for us on punt returns and we’ll use him when we need him, but we’ll use Bryan Walters back there and mix our guys as we go. “I just noticed in the game that he wants to do so well that his focus is challenged, and I’d rather have his focus on playing safety. So after the long experiment and the time we spend doing this, he’s not doing it.” Asked how Thomas took the news, Carroll said the two were on the same page: “He understands. He sees it. He has such tremendous pride in his position and what he brings to the defense, and what it takes to get

With nickel cornerback Jeremy Lane on short-term injured reserve and Tharold Simon recovering from knee surgery, Carroll acknowledged that his team’s cornerback depth is being tested. “The depth situation, we’re challenged by it,” he said. “We really were counting on Tharold Simon to be there and be battling for us. Jeremy’s injury, we take a blow there. He’s a fine football player for us. The cool thing is both these guys have a chance to get back and they’ll come back to us later in the year, then our depth will feel a lot different, but in the meantime, we’ll have to work real hard.”

as humans finally start to take domestic violence much more seriously. This is nothing new, neither in the NFL, nor in sports, nor in society. Sadly this isn’t even close to being the worst act of domestic violence committed by an NFL athlete. Former Carolina Panther Rae Carruth was convicted in 2001 of conspiracy to commit murder for hiring someone to kill Cherica Adams, who was pregnant with his child. In 2012, Kansas City’s Jovan Belcher shot and killed girlfriend Kasandra Perkins before killing himself outside the team’s practice facility later that day. Yet despite those extreme examples, NFL rosters, Seattle’s included, include players year after year with domestic violence issues in their history. That needs to change, and Carroll’s words Wednesday

strongly indicate they’ll do things differently in the future. The Seahawks were able to sign cornerback A.J. Jefferson this offseason because the Vikings released him after he was arrested for allegedly choking his girlfriend. Jefferson is no longer with the team having been released following an injury, but if Carroll is true to his word, those signings can’t happen in the future unless that player is cleared of wrongdoing. Let’s hope that what comes out of having such a high profile athlete in this country’s biggest sport commit such a heinous act is that leagues and the people like Carroll who make roster decisions can pause and consider the message it sends when a convicted wife-beater gets second, third and fourth chances because he happens to have a

that focus, he really sensed it also. So we really just talked it through, and it made sense to him too. He actually had the same thought the night before I talked to him. This is an opportunity for him to really focus even more where we need him the most.”

Cornerback concerns

That hard work will involve getting two new players up to speed, Marcus Burley, who was traded to Seattle prior to the season opener and who played against Green Bay following Lane’s injury, and Josh Thomas, who signed on Monday. Burley will continue to play the nickel role in place of Lane, while Thomas will provide depth as an outside corner. “We’re hoping that Marcus will take over that spot,” Carroll said. “It’s a spot he’s familiar with and he did a nice job coming into the game in short time. Josh is really an outside guy for us ... We’re looking for Marcus to do a real nice job taking over.”

Injury update Carroll said running back Christine Michael, who missed the season opener with a hamstring injury, ran Tuesday, will take Thursday off, then will work out again Friday. Carroll referred to Michael as day-to-day, saying he has a chance to play this week, and that if he doesn’t, “For sure he should have a great chance for the following week.”

good 40-yard dash time. It shouldn’t take a video for this change to happen, but if that’s what we all needed for a turning point to occur, so be it. “Hopefully the process and the visibility will bring an awareness throughout our society and to whoever’s watching and listening, that we need to take care of each other much better and we need to respond accordingly,” Carroll said. It’s a shame this conversation is only happening on this scale now that we’ve seen the video of a very famous man knocking a woman unconscious. Imagine what happens every day that goes unseen and unreported. That’s worthy of just as much outrage, and it’s why so many people, Carroll included by his own admission, need a different level of awareness going forward when it comes to domestic violence.

Bartleys From Page C1

Bartley said. “But I think everybody will figure out who she is. She’s extremely fast.” The Wildcats put up their second and third goals in the first three minutes of the second half. Senior midfielder Kristi Bartz delivered the first, coming in with the ball on the right side of a 2-on-1 break. Her shot beat the goalkeeper to the left side of the net. Moments later, Bartz set up Murphy’s third goal. Her shot from in front hit the crossbar and Madisson Lowdon was there to bang in the rebound. “Last year Kristi had 16 goals from playing at point,” Mike Bartley said, “and now I brought her back into the midfield to make her a playmaker. I’ve put on a lot on her shoulders, but she’s a captain and a senior, and she played really well.” Against the Tomahawks, “I thought we played really well,” Bartz said. “We’ve been putting in a lot of work and I think it showed. ... I think our fitness really paid off. We really held our own.” Going forward, Mike Bartley said, “I think we have the potential to do

really well. And after that (victory), now I know we can.” “I think we have a lot of potential,” Bartz agreed. “I think we had a really good (first game), and I think we’re going to grow a lot from here.” Though the Tomahawks were stung by the outcome, Paul Bartley expects his squad to bounce back. “I have a lot of new players and this was a good learning experience,” he said. “And I thought it was a good game. We played hard. It was even (for most of the first half), and then we made one mistake and they scored. “They came out in the second half and took us apart for a little while, but then we adjusted (for the game’s final 37 minutes),” he added. Though their matches are usually spirited, the Bartley brothers are both very supportive of the other’s program. “He comes to my games if we’re at district or state,” Paul Bartley said, “and I go to his games if his team’s at district or state.” And whenever they go head to head, there is usually a little something riding on the outcome. This year, according to Mike Bartley, there were cookies and other treats. “Something for the kids,” he said.

Concussions From Page C1

Head injuries occur not only when players collide, but when players fall to the ground or when they simply contact the ball with their heads. Some high school teams have seen players’ seasons — and even careers — ended by concussions. A while back, a Snohomish player got hit in the head with a ball, missed the rest of the season and sat out the following season. The Panthers also lost key defender Kaytlin Willis for two weeks late last season because of a concussion. “From our team standpoint, we do so much to prepare ahead of time against pulled quads and stuff like that, but you can’t do anything

The first-team all-conference performer has steadily improved in her first three seasons at Edmonds-Woodway, and Warriors head coach Bill LeCompte said he expects that trend to continue this year. “She just progressively has gotten stronger,” LeCompte said. “She’s always had a pretty hard-nosed approach to playing the game and that hasn’t changed at all. She’s just gotten better at it.” Peterson has gone from an unknown freshman to the Warriors’ leading scorer. LeCompte said because of Edmonds-Woodway’s long history of strong offensive players, Peterson was “able to flourish because people were focused on someone else.” Now the focus is on Peterson, who will play at the Uinversity of Nevada next season. “You can definitely notice that teams are trying to contain her and slow her down,” LeCompte said. “That’s when a lot more assists came in. Through the years she’s been doing it kind of differently each year.”

Ellie Otteson Snohomish Senior | Forward Otteson has developed an uncanny ability to score goals. As for which foot she uses to score, well, it doesn’t seem to matter. “Her left and her right are almost the same, which gives us that added advantage,” Snohomish coach April VanAssche said. “She just has something built inside her, that hunger for the goal. She has so much passion and drive to find the back of the net that it seems to happen so easily for her.” In her final season at Snohomish, Otteson — who has committed to the University of Montana — will serve as one of the Panthers’ senior captains. “She’s a very mature player and puts a lot of the weight on her shoulders,” VanAssche said of the Wesco 4A North first-

on those concussion things,” Snohomish head coach April VanAssche said. “I’m sure we’re all more aware of it.” Willis, now a senior for Snohomish, and the Panthers take a preseason baseline test so that if they injure their heads during the regular season, they can be tested to “give us a reading to see if they’ve got a concussion,” VanAssche said. As another precaution, many coaches take time to point out the proper way to head a ball while minimizing a players’ risk of injury. “It’s no different than a football tackle,” LeCompte said. “If you use the wrong form and hit the kid in the wrong spot, that’s going to lead you to (a head injury).” It’s not just incorrect form on headed balls that cause concussions. Collisions between players fighting for possession, slipping and

teamer. “She’s very competitive, which is great because the rest of the team feeds off it. They see her and they can’t help but get fired up too.”

Carley Wika Marysville Getchell Sophomore | Goalkeeper Marysville Getchell coach Wayne Nash heard from one of his players last season that a good freshman goalkeeper was coming to Getchell. But he had no idea how good. Marina Wika, now a senior defender for the Chargers, informed Nash that her younger sister Carley was on her way. Carley Wika earned first-team All-Wesco 3A North honors at goalkeeper in her first season, giving Marysville Getchell a solid 1-2 punch of Wikas — Marina was a firstteam all-conference defender. “I knew she was good but she definitely surprised everybody being that solid as a freshman,” Nash said. “She was huge for us.” With the younger Wika, the goalkeeping position is in good hands for the next several years. “It’s very important to have a quality keeper, and to have a freshman be a firstteamer and return for three more years is amazing,” Nash said.

Kristi Bartz Archbishop Murphy Senior | Forward In her first three seasons on the Archbishop Murphy girls soccer team, Bartz took on the role of supporting player. This season, Wildcats head coach Michael Bartley said Bartz is embracing a starring role. “She’s a senior captain and she’s kind

falling to the turf and even whiplash when heading a ball can lead to a concussion. The scary realization for coaches is there’s just no sure way to tell when a head injury might occur next. “Sometimes they won’t show the symptoms until the next day,” said Archbishop Murphy head coach Michael Bartley, who coaches both the Wildcats girls and boys teams. “You’ll be watching them and you’ll ask them if they’re OK and then we’ll test them out. ... We’ve had girls show symptoms of concussions without ever getting hit in the head.” Like Snohomish, Archbishop Murphy does preseason testing to help clarify a possible concussion. The Wildcats also practice proper heading technique with lighter balls, to make sure the players

of our field general,” Bartley said. “A lot is going to weigh on her. Basically our attack depends on her. I expect a lot of good things. ... Before, I think she was more content with being a supporting player, now she wants to be a leader.” The first-team All-Cascade Conference forward had 16 goals and five assists last season. She also stars on the Wildcats’ track and field team, where her time in the 800-meter run has colleges eyeing her as a track prospect. “I think (track is) her focus and where she’s going, but soccer is her passion and her love,” Bartley said. “She’s one of the best.”

Maddie Cooley Jackson Junior | Midfielder Jackson head coach Jesslyn Kellerman hasn’t seen many players who work as hard as Cooley, a first-team All-Wesco 4A South midfielder last season. “She has a lot of soccer skills and is just a player that brings the team together,” Kellerman said. “She plays with all of her energy the whole game. She’s one of the few players I’ve coached who really does leave it all out on the field every game.” Colley was a varsity starter as a freshman, the same year Kellerman began coaching the Timberwolves. The third-year coach said Cooley was quiet at first but can now be heard bellowing across the field. “She’s definitely our vocal player,” Kellerman said. “She may be little in stature but she has the biggest heart out of pretty much any player I’ve seen. She goes up against girls that have 20, 30 pounds on her and doesn’t care. She’s in the huddle at halftime just yelling and getting the girls motivated. “(Cooley) doesn’t have a ton of stats that you can write down,” Kellerman continued. “She usually has a ton of assists. She doesn’t score a bunch, but she makes the passes and holds the team down.”

know the importance of the correct procedure. The Wildcats even practice on a grass field instead of turf, because it’s a softer surface in case a player falls. “I think concussions, overall, is a very important issue,” Bartley said. “As coaches, we have to take concussion testing to know that we have a good knowledge base of what to look for. The (Washington Interscholastic Activities Association) is all over it, the (Cascade) Conference is all over it, Murphy is all over it.” The Wildcats, like other teams in the area, also have athletic trainers on the sideline to watch for possible head injuries and inform coaches if a player needs to come out of the game. “The biggest thing, I think, is awareness,” Bartley said. “We watch for it all the time. We check

everybody out and make sure they’re OK. I think that’s really the best you can do is just be aware and look out for it.” LeCompte says that with the increased attention and concern given to concussions, coaches are better trained to spot potential problems. “We’re following the protocols that are set forth by the state of Washington, our school district and our athletic trainers,” LeCompte said. “We’ve been given training to help recognize and try to assess better. My job, as a coach, has changed in that way dramatically just because now we’ve got more research, more information and a better ability of what to look for. “The game itself is what it is,. We’re not changing the way we approach the game. We’re just trying to do it correctly.”

Giving credit where credit is due

Huskiesâ€™ running back Lavon Coleman is quick to deflect credit to his offensive line By Christian Caple The News Tribune

SEATTLE â€” Humility is one of the most apparent traits of Lavon Colemanâ€™s personality. And it was taught to him in steady doses. To understand why the Washington Huskies redshirt freshman running back is so modest and eager to deflect credit from himself, go back to his freshman year at Lompoc (California) High School, and an ill-advised remark to a teammate who played offensive guard, and the resulting heart-to-heart that changed Colemanâ€™s perspective. Coleman hears it, too, from his father, Leander, who did his best to instill in his son an attitude that every running back would do well to possess. The offensive line is everything. They push. They block. You just run behind them. â€œIt was just one of those things where you thought it was all about you,â€? Lavon said, referring to that conversation he had as a high-school freshman, â€œbut then you realize when you watch the film â€” without those five guys, we donâ€™t really go anywhere. That is the team.â€? His father will not let him forget it. â€œI have always told him that you give credit where credit is due. And you must respect that line, because the line makes both things possible,â€? Leander said. â€œWith the line believing in you and trusting in you, and you trusting in them, you can see some glory days coming.â€? â– â– â– There are a considerable amount of rushing yards to acquire and victories to achieve before Lavon Coleman can claim glory at the University of Washington, but the 5-foot-11, 217-pound power runner has already established himself as an essential part of Washingtonâ€™s offense through his first two collegiate games. First, Coleman rushed for 78 yards on 17 carries at Hawaii, including six carries for 37 yards to help kill the clock on the Huskiesâ€™ final possession.

ELAINE THOMPSON / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Washington redshirt freshman running back Lavon Coleman rushed for 118 yards on 17 carries and scored a touchdown in last Saturdayâ€™s game against Eastern Washington.

Then, he emerged from the Huskiesâ€™ four-man backfield as the teamâ€™s premier rusher during last weekâ€™s game against Eastern Washington, leading a multi-pronged rushing attack that gained 356 yards by chipping in 118 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries. His running style is probably more Chris Polk than Bishop Sankey, though junior receiver Jaydon Mickens compares Colemanâ€™s patience to that of Sankey, who set UWâ€™s single-season rushing record in 2013. â€œHe definitely looks the part, I can tell you that much,â€? senior offensive tackle Ben Riva said. â€œBig, strong and fast.â€? Of course, it is impossible to talk about Huskies running backs from Lompoc without first mentioning Napoleon Kaufman, the UWâ€™s career rushing leader and one of the most heralded names in program history. He, too, is a graduate of Lompoc High. Kaufman and Coleman met each other early in Colemanâ€™s career at Lompoc High â€” where Coleman helped win two CIF

Southern Section Northwest championships, and where Kaufman starred from 1988-90 â€” and Kaufman, a pastor now, has acted as a sort of mentor. Heâ€™s taught him, Coleman says, â€œto appreciate things. Staying humble, always thanking God for the opportunities I have and just taking it day by day and understanding this is something earned and itâ€™s not really just given to you.â€? Coleman said part of the appeal of playing at Washington â€” aside from its academic reputation, and, at first, the desire to learn from former running backs coach Joel Thomas, who left for Arkansas prior to the 2013 season, after Coleman committed â€” is its proximity to Lompoc. Itâ€™s close enough that his parents, Leander and Tracy, can still attend home games, but far enough away that he wasnâ€™t totally enclosed within his comfort zone. He certainly had that in Lompoc, a city of about 43,000 located three hours northwest of Los Angeles and about an hour from Santa Barbara.

In Lompoc, Coleman had an ideal core friend group â€” â€œMaurice, Keith and A-Rod,â€? a â€œweirdâ€? kind of crew featuring dudes with â€œdifferent lingos and feng shuisâ€? â€” and he was worried that if he went to school in Los Angeles, he would have a hard time telling his friends he didnâ€™t have time to hang out. â€œIt was safe,â€? Coleman said. â€œDidnâ€™t have to worry about anything. Just had to go to school and play football. Small community â€” you knew everybody, everybody knew you.â€? Lavon and Leander were on their own until Lavon was about four years old, Leander said. Thatâ€™s when he met Tracy, who became Lavonâ€™s mom. Leaving home wasnâ€™t easy, Lavon said, â€œbecause you donâ€™t want to leave moms. Thatâ€™s one of the things. But at the same time, she understood this is a choice Iâ€™m going to make and this is where Iâ€™m going to play college football at, and this is where Iâ€™m going to get my education from. When she read up on it, she had no worries about it. So it was OK

with her.â€? Huskies coach Chris Petersen recruited him at Boise State, too, and that was one of the few other schools Coleman considered. But one visit to Montlake sealed his decision. â€œItâ€™s a beautiful campus,â€? Leander said. â€œThe teachers, the program that they have. It really captured us.â€? â– â– â– Mickens, a junior, could see that Coleman was frustrated early in his redshirt season in 2013. He worked with the scout team, and was adjusting to a football life in which he couldnâ€™t run past everybody like he did in high school. â€œBut now heâ€™s letting the game come to him,â€? Mickens said. â€œHeâ€™s the most patient runner Iâ€™ve seen since Bishop.â€? And heâ€™s just as deferential to his teammates on the offensive line. Ask Coleman about his onfield exploits, and the response will redirect to the guys up front, Coleman insisting the only reason he was able to run at all was because of the holes created by the linemen in front of him. â€œHeâ€™s definitely a blue-collar kind of guy, you could say,â€? Riva said. â€œVery upbeat. I donâ€™t want to say other running backs are into themselves, but heâ€™s not a selfish guy. Heâ€™s not into himself, really. He spreads the love.â€? Teammates describe him as a â€œhappy-go-luckyâ€? kind of guy, quick with a joke and eager to liven the room. â€œHardly ever hear that guy complain or anything like that,â€? senior center Colin Tanigawa said. â€œHeâ€™s just a great guy. Definitely like blocking for him, because heâ€™s a tough runner.â€? â€œHeâ€™s a character,â€? Leander said. â€œThatâ€™s for sure.â€? Leander is eager to see how Lavon evolves in college. But he can already see that his sonâ€™s personality reflects the lessons he learned in Lompoc. â€œItâ€™s always a pleasure to have a child that you know will be willing to help humanity,â€? Leander said, â€œand sometimes you can help humanity by entertainment, by showing a great will, and being very, very humble.â€?

Rams DE Chris Long to miss at least 2 months following ankle surgery By Jim Thomas St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Rams defensive end Chris Long will undergo ankle surgery and miss at least half of the 2014 season. â€œHeâ€™s having surgery tonight or tomorrow morning, and weâ€™re

going to put him on the designated IR list,â€? coach Jeff Fisher said after Wednesdayâ€™s practice. â€œIâ€™m disappointed for Chris. â€œI wonâ€™t go into specifics on the surgery; it is unique, however. ... But we have a good feel he will be back at some point late in the season.â€?

Under the injured reserve/ designated for return rule, which was instituted in 2012, Long canâ€™t practice with the team for at least six weeks. And he canâ€™t play in a game for at least eight weeks. Under that timetable, the earliest Long could return is the teamâ€™s Nov. 9 contest at Arizona.

Until now, Long had not missed a game in his NFL career, which began in 2008 as the No. 2 overall pick in the draft. His string of 97 consecutive games played is second in the NFL among active defensive ends behind Chicagoâ€™s Jared Allen at 111. â€œOf course, it (stinks),â€? Rams

defensive end Robert Quinn said. â€œI think Chris, itâ€™s tough for him to go through that. But heâ€™s comfortable knowing that he has a great backup in Williams Hayes filling his role. I know the type of guy he is â€” he wants to be out there with us. But the Lord called for something else.â€?

M’s hope Ackley will play Friday against A’s By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

SEATTLE — The Seattle Mariners are hoping left fielder Dustin Ackley will be ready to return to the lineup for Friday’s series opener against Oakland at Safeco Field. Ackley left last Saturday’s game at Texas because of soreness in his left ankle that a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exam later identified as stemming from long-troublesome bone spurs. “He’s better today than he was (Tuesday),” manager Lloyd McClendon said prior to Wednesday’s game against the Astros. “Hopefully, by giving him today and the off-day, he should be ready to go Friday. “That’s our hope.”

Ackley is batting .251 overall with 11 homers and 60 RBI in 130 games, but he had been on a surge since the All-Star break: .291 with seven homers and 31 RBI in 45 games.

Elias finishing strong Lefty Roenis Elias is authoring a strong close to his rookie season despite concerns that he might fade down the stretch because of a careerhigh workload. “I feel good,” he said. “I’m just focused on helping the team to go as far as we can, whether it’s the playoffs or not. I’m going to be there and helping out as much as I can.” Elias produced his ninth straight start Tuesday in which he permitted two runs or fewer before settling for a no-decision in a 2-1 loss to Houston. His six-inning outing pushed his season’s total 1602⁄3 innings. He pitched 1402⁄3 innings last season, counting winter ball, and has never

worked more than 1481⁄3 innings. “I think we’ve, strategically, tried to watch his innings,” McClendon said. “We’ve taken him out of ballgames early. I’m sure he doesn’t like it, but we’ve still got to be careful because we’re on the edge with him.” Elias could use a little more offensive support. He is just 3-4 in his last nine starts despite a 2.08 ERA in that span. Overall, he is 10-12 with a 3.81 ERA in 28 starts.

Short hops The Mariners have the worst record, percentage-wise, in one-run games among American League clubs at .390. They fell to 16-25 by losing 2-1 on Tuesday to the Astros. ... Logan Morrison entered Wednesday with a 13-game hitting streak against the Astros. ... Joe Beimel became the seventh Mariners pitcher to appear in 50 games when he worked onethird of an inning on Tuesday. That’s an AL record. ... The Mariners played their 145th game on Wednesday and used their 128th different lineup.

Houston added an insurance run in the eighth against Tom Wilhelmsen by capitalizing on some shaky defense. Chris Carter singled off the glove of shortstop Brad Miller. Carter stole second, although replays indicated he might have come off the base with Miller applying a tag. But the Mariners chose not to challenge, and Carter scored on Alex Presley’s single to short left when James Jones made an off-line throw. That was fitting punctuation to a night when not much went right. Jose Veras and Tony Sipp worked the closing innings in securing the Astros’ third straight series victory over an AL postseason contender.

Minor details The Mariners will keep their Lo-A affiliate in Clinton, Iowa, after reaching an agreement with the LumberKings on a two-year extension in their player-development contract through 2016.

On tap The Mariners have an open date Thursday — the final open date of the season — before starting a threegame weekend series against Oakland at 7:10 p.m. Friday at Safeco Field. Left-hander James Paxton (5-2 with a 1.87 ERA) will oppose Oakland right-hander Jason Hammel (25, 4.70). Root Sports will televise the game. After completing the series, the Mariners depart Monday on their last road trip: 11 games (four at Los Angeles, three at Houston and four at Toronto) before closing the season with three home games against the Angels.

Houston swept two games from the Angels and won two of three from the A’s, before taking two of three from the Mariners after arriving at Safeco. The loss dropped the Mariners to 79-66 and kept them one-half game behind Detroit for the AL’s second wild-card berth and two games behind Oakland for the top wildcard spot. The Astros started their three-run second inning with a rare Iwakuma walk — to Jon Singleton with one out. Singleton moved to second on Presley’s two-out single up the middle. Max Stassi then sent a liner into the left-center gap. Singleton scored easily, but the Mariners had a play on Presley’s attempt to score from first — until Miller threw high to the plate after taking the relay

from Jones. That permitted Presley to score despite an awkward slide that forced him to scramble the last few feet on his belly to the plate. It got worse when Jonathan Villar rocked a drive to deep left that Jones reached — and overreached. The ball struck Jones’ wrist and fell for an RBI double. The Astros led 3-0, but the Mariners answered with Mike Zunino’s tworun double later in the inning. That was all they would get. Iwakuma pitched around Dexter Fowler’s one-out double in the third by striking out Carter and Singleton. But the Astros struck for a run in the fifth after Robbie Grossman grounded a one-out single up the middle. Jose Altuve followed by pulling an RBI double into the left-field corner for a 4-2 lead.

Got mold? Now’s the time to address it Mold thrives in damp places, and can cause all kinds of nasty health problems. Herald news services

Give the front door an unexpected color, and consider carrying it into the room it opens up to, professional stagers say.

It’s rare to catch one of these “specialty” months until after the fact, but today it’s easy as the weather turns wet and cold: September is Mold Awareness Month. The observance is sponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which states that molds create “toxins that cause asthma, respiratory infections and chronic sinus problems.” The agency attributes a threefold increase in asthma cases nationally in the past 20 years to mold. Mold starts its life in a wet or damp area. Twenty-four hours of dampness is enough time for mold to begin to grow. The longer an area remains wet, the more toxic the mold is likely to be. Other symptoms of exposure to toxic mold can include memory loss, flulike symptoms, bleeding in the lungs, and difficulty speaking. If you experience any of these, contact your doctor immediately, or call the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention at 1-800-232-4636. Mold can grow behind walls and under floors, above ceiling tiles, or behind shower walls — wherever there are wet materials mold can feed on, such as wood, ceiling tiles or plasterboard. Once mold has been identified, professional remediation is highly recommended. It can regrow if not completely removed.

Love your house again Six easy fixes to help you enjoy your digs more By Jura Koncius The Washington Post

Home stagers are the people who sweep through homes going on the market and make them look uncluttered and cozy without a huge investment of time or money. What’s their secret? Stagers have a bag of design and organizing tricks that can be useful even to someone who has no plans to sell. They look to make a house or condo desirable to potential buyers and maximize price. They have practical ideas to refresh your stale living room or pump up your curb appeal. Stagers cast a critical eye on everything. They remove things. They group like items together, rearrange bookcases, toss out lumpy pillows and frame children’s artwork previously hanging from magnets on the fridge. They might gather all your scattered framed family photos, edit them and display them on one shelf or tabletop. Here are six ideas from four stagers to get you started on an intervention in your own home.

1. Create a light and airy bedroom “Lots of bedrooms are small and have few windows,” says Tyler Whitmore, owner of staging and design firm Ta-da! Homes, who advises people to take a critical eye to every room in the house and “think like you’re going to see the house, even if you’re not.” She suggests painting walls a light color and bringing in a neutral rug. Beds are the largest piece in the room, so linens shouldn’t stand out too much, she says. On a recent job at a Cape Cod, Whitmore replaced a dark navy bedspread on a mahogany sleigh bed with a cream coverlet. The navy one, Whitmore says, “created a big black hole in the middle of the room.” Replacing chunky, mismatched nightstands, she installed matching pedestal nightstands, reusing the existing crackledglass lamps. She put a pair of framed European prints over the bed as a focal point. “It feels calm in here now,” Whitmore says. “It’s the retreat everyone is looking for.”

Antique children’s toys tell long-forgotten stories T

BERTOIA AUCTION

When this toy is wound, four Chinese men in colorful hats wave the canopy to toss the child. It recalls the Boxer Rebellion in China in 1900. The 5-inch-high toy sold for $14,800 at a Bertoia auction in Vineland, N.J., in 2013.

he Tammany Hall bank with a well-dressed man taking the penny is a criticism of corrupt politicians in New York City in 1871. A 1940s blond doll wearing ice skates probably is not recognized today as Sonja Henie, a world-champion ice skater from 1923 to 1936 and star of 12 Hollywood movies. A very rare clockwork toy has four Chinese men tossing a child in a blanket. Each of the men has a brightly painted hat that represents a European country. Sometimes an antique toy tells an almost-forgotten story. The clockwork toy, made in the early 1900s by Lehmann in Germany, is a comment on the Boxer Rebellion of 1900, when England, Russia, France and Germany occupied China. A Chinese secret society, the Boxers, led a rebellion

against the European countries, killing foreigners and Chinese Christians, and destroying property. An international army that included Americans subdued the uprising. The rebellion ended in 190l, and China paid $330 million in reparations. It seems like a strange idea for a toy. It is claimed that only four of the toys still exist because the action required a complicated mechanism that broke easily. So in recent years, one of these toys in good working condition sold for $14,800. Q: Can you tell me anything about a clear pressed glass serving bowl left to my husband by his grandmother? The inside is marked “Mountain City Mills, patent, flour.” A: A grain-milling company (or two different companies) named Mountain City Mills was in business in

Chattanooga, Tenn., and Frederick, Md., in the early 1900s. It’s unusual to find a piece of pressed glass marked like yours. It is possible that Mountain City contracted with a glass manufacturer to make pieces either for employees or as a premium for customers. Pressed glass is not as popular with collectors as it was 20 years ago. Depending on the pattern and size of your bowl, it could sell for $25 or more. Q: My mother has had a mintcondition alligator purse since about 1940. The inside is labeled “Cuba.” Can you tell me what it’s worth? A: Back in the 1930s, ’40s and early ’50s, Cuban manufacturers sold a lot of goods in the United States. Those See KOVEL, Page D3

These beans taste good at any stage

GREAT PLANT PICK

By Barbara Damrosch Special To The Washington Post

What: Leycesteria formosa, Himalayan honeysuckle, is a vigorously growing shrub that has a wild exuberance. Why: Himalayan honeysuckle is perfect for mixing with perennials or placing in a shrub border. Quick growing arching stems start flowering in mid summer and continue until early autumn. The chains of flowers are a lovely mix of dark red and white. In fall the fruit matures to a deep maroon and is quite striking. Where: Himalayan honeysuckle is very easy to grow and adaptable to many garden situations. Size: Reaches a height of 8 feet with a spread of 8 feet. GreatPlantPicks.org

The beans were coming in fast and it was hard to keep up. Granted, I’d stacked the deck in my favor by planting the world’s most forgiving bean. It’s called Garden of Eden. Not to be confused with Lazy Wife bean, named for the ease with which you can open the pods, this one might be dubbed Overextended Gardener, because it is good to eat at any stage, from small and flat to big and lumpy. Beans, in general, are helpful in this regard, because there are four phases in a bean’s useful life. You can pick them at the skinny French stage, for dainty haricots verts. You can let them grow to become what used to be called string beans, back when you had to pinch the tip, then pull down on the tough thread that old varieties possessed. With that feature now bred out of them, the word snap bean is more appropriate for the typical pencil-size bean pod we’re used to eating, at the stage when a pod’s seeds cannot be felt. Snap beans have a pleasant crunch if eaten raw and are firm enough to briskly break them in two to make them smaller. After the seeds become palpable, your beans are at the shell bean stage. At that point you can open the pods with your fingernail, along the seam (or pull the string if it is old-fashioned enough to have one), remove the

seeds and cook them. The seeds are still tender, soft enough to be easily dented with said fingernail. They take only about 20 minutes to cook and have a delicious fresh taste. Unless you are a gardener and grow your own, it is hard to find beans to buy at this stage.

BARBARA DAMROSCH / THE WASHINGTON POST

Whether they’re small and flat or big and lumpy, Garden of Eden beans are good to eat.

After that stage there’s dry beans, a great staple for the larder. Because those keep well for up to a year, they’re a great survival food — filling and rich in protein. They might take over an hour to cook. Keep them any more than a year and they’ll take progressively longer, and eventually become uncookable, a fifth stage at which they become has-beans. What makes Garden of Eden remarkable is that it can be cooked and enjoyed, pod and all, even at the shell bean stage. It is a type often referred to as Romano bean, or just Italian bean — wide and flat instead of cylindrical. I find that even when the pods are an inch wide and bulging with seeds they can be cooked whole. In fact, they become so tender when steamed, boiled or sauteed that the risk is turning them to mush. Ten minutes or so will do. My favorite thing to do with Garden of Eden is to make hummus, substituting it for chickpeas. I steam the pods while they are still green, then puree them in a food processor with lemon, garlic, tahini, olive oil and salt. It’s a delicious and healthful snack to keep in the fridge, the perfect dip to attack with a cracker, carrot or celery stick whenever you’re hungry. It has a fresh bean flavor and a pale green color, a step up from chickpea beige.

Four renovation projects to do INSIDE

SEPTEMBER IS

INSIDE RENOVATION MONTH! Take advantage of the warm weather.

You’ve decided to forgo the road vacation in order to stay home and get some big jobs done around the house? Here are the top four indoor renovations to do, while the weather is warm. A handy tip: keep plenty of cool drinks on hand and set up a comfy outdoor living area, complete with lounging furniture, lighting, and an awning for rainy days. Renovate the kitchen Renovating the kitchen can be a long, complex process, even more so because it is a key room in the home. Renovating your kitchen during the summer has its advantages: you can prepare meals outdoors on the barbecue and use the backyard as a dining area. Redo the floors Even though sanding and varnishing techniques have greatly improved over the years, these jobs can still disrupt the entire household. With warm summer weather, it is possible to air out the room quickly after the work is done. Just be sure to leave the

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

Repaint Summer is a good time to undertake painting jobs (except during humid periods). Not only can you air out the rooms as you work, but you can begin the job very early in the morning and finish later because of the long daylight hours. In other words, you’ll be more productive — unless you succumb to

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

but avoid getting cleaning fluid or water into dials and switches, which are connected to electrical components. Avoid using aluminum foil under the oven’s bake element or oven coil. Appliance technicians say the reflective surface can disrupt the heat level, leading to over- or undercooked food. Repair or replace? Consider replacing if you’re investing more than half the price of new unit into a repair. What to budget for a new stove: $650 to $2,000.

The coils are typically under or behind the unit, and sometimes on top. Over time, they collect dust, debris and pet hair. A dirty condenser makes it difficult for the refrigerator to transfer heat from within to the outside, which wastes energy and can cause premature breakdown. You can buy refrigerator coil brushes online or at hardware stores or you may be able to clean them by hand and with your vacuum cleaner. Allow for adequate air flow. Unless your unit is

chip. Many homeowners don’t want to shell out big bucks to gut their bathrooms. So to update them, she swears by Miracle Method, a service that sprays an acrylic, usually white, coating that bonds to existing tile and tub in a layering process not unlike painting techniques used in the automotive industry. Broken or cracked tiles can also be repaired and sprayed. According to Mary Ann O’Hara from Miracle Method, a standard bathroom tub and tile surface refinishing costs about $1,900. You can add a new vanity, a medicine cabinet and hardware for an additional charge. New floor tiles can be laid on top of existing tile. And then you don’t have to hunt for yellow and black towels or shower curtains. McCaffrey started including staging as part of her services as a listing agent about 10 years ago. “When I’ve finished staging a house, so many people say things like, ‘I wish I’d done this three years ago. Then I could have enjoyed it myself.’”

were the same decades when alligator purses were at their peak of popularity. If the purse is in excellent condition, it probably would sell for $20 to $50. If it had a high-end designer label, it could sell for many times that. Q: I inherited an antique stove and would like to sell it. It’s a standing, round stove, and I assume it’s a wood-burning model. It’s black with metal accents and is marked “Great Western Stove Co., Leavenworth, Omaha, Denver.” Where can I sell it, and how much can I get for it? A: We receive many questions about antique stoves. The history of the Great Western Manufacturing Co. of Leavenworth, Kan., dates back to 1858. The related stove manufacturer, Great Western Stove Co., was formed in 1875 and operated into at least the 1930s. We have seen Great Western stoves offered for $100 to more than $1,000. Take a look at the website AntiqueStoves.com to get an idea of the types of stoves collectors are looking for and selling. Then you might want to try selling locally through a dealer or via Craigslist so the buyer doesn’t have to worry about shipping costs. Q: I have a tea set that I can find nothing about. It has a teapot, sugar and creamer and eight cups and saucers and is in mint condition. The pattern name is “Hawthorn” and it looks like Belleek, but I can’t find any other information. Can you

3. Make a good first impression Your front door and shutters welcome people to your home and should be painted regularly to look fresh and polished. Front doors are traditionally painted colors such as glossy black, barn red, forest green or white. Whitmore also likes the idea of painting the front door in a color that will hint at what is inside. McCaffrey is fond of giving the front door an unexpected color. She encourages clients not to match the colors of shutters and front doors. In one project, she found a front door and shutters both painted a sage green. McCaffrey chose a darker green to paint the shutters so that they stand out.

4. Upgrade rugs If your rug needs replacement, don’t just buy a standard 8-by-10 or 9-by-12 and plop it into your room. Kelley Proxmire, an interior designer who added staging to her design business in 2009, suggests buying a wool remnant and getting it cut to perfectly fit your space. She likes to have carpet sized to fit around fireplace hearths or bay windows. This makes your room look bigger and neater, she says. If you can’t afford new carpet, use small Oriental or area rugs you might have stashed in a closet or basement on top of an existing rug to personalize your look. Layering a small rug in front of a sofa can be an especially smart idea if kids eat snacks there.

PHOTO COURTESY MIRACLE METHOD

Older bathrooms can have a variety of unusual color combinations; but tile, sinks and tubs can be sprayed with an acrylic, usually white coating that brings the bathroom up to date.

Proxmire also uses spray paint to rejuvenate lamp finials and rescue old planters. She hunts down soup tureens from closets and fills them with hydrangeas for the dining room.

5. Don’t forget the houseplants Plants, whether succulents, ferns or rosemary topiaries, add to the look and energy of a room. Yet many people seem to be running plant hospitals, Proxmire says. “I see forlorn sticks in dusty old pots scattered all over the place,” she says. Proxmire advises looking over your plants on a regular basis; she does it every Sunday. “Be brutally honest. If the plant really doesn’t look great, get rid of it.” She isn’t totally heartless: She has created an orchid revival area on a deep windowsill in her home, behind some indoor shutters, where she can keep an eye on dormant orchids without putting them on public view.

6. Separate matching sets of furniture “Lots of people go to a furniture store and buy matching sofas and loveseats and put them in their living rooms,” says Roslyn Ashford of Ra Redoes Rooms, a Silver Spring, Md., staging firm. “They stay there forever.” Ashford says many living rooms aren’t big enough for two sofas, and a loveseat rarely is sat on by more than one person. She often replaces a bulky piece with a chair that takes up less space and makes the room seem larger. In bedrooms, Ashford finds sets of matching massive wooden beds, side tables and dressers. Eight-drawer chests with mirrors are often jammed into a corner. “Most bedrooms can’t support that much furniture. Take the chest and put it in a hallway, dining room or an office, or any room you need storage.” She suggests putting a small dresser in a bedroom closet to save floor space. “When you’ve lived somewhere 10 or 20 years, you have to declutter all the rooms on a regular bases,” Ashford says.

inlet valve, $160 or more; control board failure, $190 or more. Basic maintenance tips: Scrape dishes before loading. Larger food clumps can clog washer arms and pump screens. However, many appliance technicians debate just how clean dishes should be before you wash them in the dishwasher. Some say detergent requires something to adhere to, or it will leave residue on the dishes and dishwasher interior. Don’t overdo soap. Repair pros say people commonly use too much dishwasher detergent, which builds up in the machine, putting a strain on the pump/motor assembly, spray arm and other components. Repair or replace? If the

designed for in-cabinet installation, putting a fridge in a tight-fitting space without ventilation room can cause the compressor to overheat and fail. To properly remove heat, most fridges need several inches of space around the top and sides. Repair or replace? Factor in the unit’s age and performance history. A compressor failure is almost always a sure sign that the fridge should be replaced. What to budget for a new fridge: $900 to $8,000.

help with age and value? A: Your tea set was made in Ireland by the Donegal Parian China Co. The company was formed in 1985 in Ballyshannon, County Donegal, by a group of former workers from the more-famous Belleek Pottery, just five miles away, across the border in Northern Ireland. Donegal China made marble-like Parian tableware and giftware in the Belleek style decorated with shamrocks, roses, hawthorn and other Irish designs, but the intricacy of the pieces was never that of traditional Irish Belleek. In 1996, Donegal China became a subsidiary of Belleek Pottery, which closed the Donegal China factory in 2005, dissolved the brand completely in 2012 and discontinued the Donegal Parian lines. Your tea set is worth about $250. Q: I have a milk glass rolling pin with wood handles that my mother got in 1931, and I got it when I married in 1954. I use it all the time and love it. Does it have any value? A: Rolling pins were first used over 1,000 years ago. Early pins were handmade of wood.

DAILY CROSSWORD

Daughter’s weight concerns mom Adapted from a recent online discussion. Hi Carolyn: Our daughter is in her junior year of college. Like lots of kids, she gained the so-called Freshman 15, but she was a pretty skinny teenager and could afford the extra pounds. A couple years later, her weight gain has ballooned out of control. She doesn’t seem depressed, and she has an active social life and a steady boyfriend. It may be that she feels just fine with her weight, but she would be more attractive if she slimmed down a little, and it’s definitely way too early in life for her to lose control of herself in this way. I’m not some hypercritical mom who needs her child to be perfect — my concerns didn’t set in till she had added about 40 pounds to her weight. I am, however, hyper-aware of the danger of SEEMING like I’m criticizing her, so I haven’t mentioned this to her directly yet (but have made an effort to serve only healthy food when she’s home). What else can I do to help my daughter manage her as-yet-unacknowledged weight gain? — Maryland Nothing. It’s impossible to live in this country and culture without being aware of extra weight and what it costs a person, real or

CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT perceived. It’s also hard to imagine she doesn’t know what healthy food is, what smaller portions are or how a treadmill works. Here’s what is hard to come by: Acceptance of who we are inside without the taint of judgments about our appearance. It would be wonderful if you could just love and accept and support your daughter in whatever package she arrives in. If the dramatic gains continue, then do act, but only on the possibility there’s an underlying health problem. In that case, though, talk to your family doctor first. Re: Daughter’s Weight: In addition to what Carolyn said, please reframe your concern: It’s not that she’d be more attractive if she lost 40 pounds; would she be happier? Concern yourself with her well-being, not her appearance. — Anonymous

Right, thanks. Then take it a step further and ask: Would she be happier if I made her weight my business, or if I trusted her to handle it? Hi Carolyn: I’m a 29-year-old straight lady. Every time I go out with a guy, I wonder/hope/wish, “Is this the one?” And I find this creates so much pressure on me and on the guy. How can I lessen the pressure I place on myself to find a husband? — 29 How good are you at changing your internal dialogue? Every time you wonder, “Is this the one?,” force yourself to say, “No — don’t ask that, ask this: Was this date better than staying home?” Yes means yes to another date, no means no and you saved yourself some angst. One date at a time. The one qualifier is that your own company has to be something you enjoy. That’s your baseline by which you measure someone’s impact on your life, positive or negative, and what makes your judgment sound (or unsound, depending). So, if you think any date beats staying home, then the path to lessening the pressure is by enriching the life you live on your own. (c) 2014, Washington Post Writers Group

Husband holed up in den leaves wife out in the cold Dear Abby: I have been married for 13 years, and I’m beginning to wonder if my husband still wants to be with me. He gets home before I do and stays in his room watching TV and piddling around on the computer. He never comes out to say hello when I get home; I go in there and greet him. He comes out when dinner is fixed and then returns to his room. I understand the “man cave” thing. Everyone needs their time and space, but this has become an everyday routine. I have tried to tell him I feel ignored. The next night he’ll come into the living room and watch TV with me, but only because he feels he should, not because he wants to. Is this my clue that he doesn’t care about sharing time with me anymore? I don’t want to beg for his attention. — Lonely in North Carolina Dear lonely: It appears that way. You refer to the room in which your husband watches TV and uses his computer as “his” room and not a den. Does he also sleep in there? If that’s the case, and the only time you spend together is at the dinner table, your marriage is in suspended animation. You need to find out what happened to the intimacy you once shared. What you have described is a platonic roommate relationship and not a healthy marriage. If you want to change the dynamics, you have to have some serious conversations with your husband about what your needs are, and also his. Start now. Dear Abby: My parents immigrated here from a foreign country 20 years ago. Although they speak some basic English, they have yet to become even remotely fluent in the language. As a RIP HAYWIRE

DEAR ABBY result, they are always asking me to do everything for them — pay their bills, file their taxes, go with them to doctors’ appointments, translate for delivery people and take my mom on errands because she doesn’t drive. I am irritated. When will they learn English? I am the CHILD, not the parent. I feel like I have been a mini-adult for many years as their personal chauffeur, secretary, interpreter, etc. I don’t mind doing occasional favors for them, but enough is enough. What should I do? — Beyond Frustrated in Chicago Dear Beyond Frustrated: Learning a new language is much easier for children than it is for adults. You were immersed in English when you went to school and exposed to it in the classroom and on the playground. Your parents weren’t so lucky. They should have enrolled in an ESL class right away, but instead apparently interacted only with people who spoke their language. However, it’s never too late, so encourage them to start NOW. Ask them what they would do if, heaven forbid, something happened to you. Some people who have picked up English did so by watching English language television. You are not alone in having this problem. The children of every ethnic group that has come to the United States has experienced what you are.

At four hearts, he took the ace of diamonds and cashed the A-J of trumps, finding West with three. Oshlag was sure West had the ace of clubs — maybe both black aces — for his two-level overcall. As to West’s shape, Oshlag placed him with only six diamonds because East might have competed with five-card support. Moreover,

East had not bid spades, so Oshlag thought East was likely to have no more than five, leaving West with three. LOW SPADE Backing his judgment, Oshlag led a club from dummy and played low (!) from his hand — and West’s ace tumbled down. Oshlag ruffed the diamond return and led a low spade. West played low, and when dummy’s queen won, declarer drew the last trump, let the jack of clubs ride and had 12 tricks and a top score.

Keith Richards for kids The Rolling Stones guitarist talks about his children’s book and a Stones tour in 2015. By Mesfin Fekadu Associated Press

NEW YORK — There’s one person who knew Keith Richards would become Keith Richards: his grandfather. The Rolling Stone member said Augustus Theodore Dupree introduced him to the guitar and taught him about music as a child growing up in England. “I think in a way he sort of had plans for me I wasn’t aware of,” Richards said. “He turned me on to the guitar and he did it in a subtle way.” The rock icon details his relationship with his grandfather in “Gus & Me,” his children’s book, which was released Tuesday. “He was a saxophone player. He got gassed in the First World War and he couldn’t blow anymore, so he went to fiddle. He was playing way into his 60s — so am I,” the 70-year-old Richards said, laughing. Richards has four children and five grandchildren. His daughter Theodora Dupree

Richards — named after Gus — worked on the illustration for the book. In a recent interview at Germano Studios — where he recorded his upcoming solo album — Richards talked about writing books, new music and touring with the Stones in 2015. AP: Why did you decide to write this book? Richards: My publishers first came up with this idea. They said, “There’s certain chapters about your grandfather that could make a great children’s book.” Children’s book? This is not my line (laughs). ... And just about that same time my eldest daughter ... she said, “Guess what?” And I know that look in a woman’s eyes. “Don’t tell me you’re pregnant, which means fifth grandchild.” ... I thought, “Hey, there’s something to be said for this” and I’ve always wanted to give my ole grandfather Gus, bless him, a little more memorial than he’s had. AP: Your 2010 memoir, “Life,” was a commercial and critical success. Was there any pressure to match it with “Gus & Me”?

But because of the circumstances and having another grandchild, everything was sort of falling into place. I said, “Damn it. Go for it.” AP: The Stones are heading to Australia in October. Are you excited? Richards: The first thing is the jetlag. I figured it out, I’m going to go via Fiji, where I’m going to chop down the tree that I fell out of the last time I was there (he got a concussion in 2006 after the fall) and spend a few days getting rid of the jetlag, and then I can pop down to Australia. Because the jetlag is the hardest thing around trips like that. AP: Are you going to tour more dates? Richards: They’ve got South America lined up in February, Buenos Aires, Peru. And after that, I know what the Stones tours are like, they tend to get extended. AP: Are you working on music? Richards: I have a solo record finished, but I don’t want to put it out while the Stones are working, so I’m thinking next June.

Judge Judy offering free book of advice NEW YORK — Judge Judy is offering advice to women free of charge. Television’s most popular judge is celebrating the 19th season opening of her syndicated show Monday by offering her new book, “What Would Judy Say: Be the Hero of Your Own Story,” for free to anyone who wants it. The book offers plainspoken advice primarily for women, telling them not to let anyone besides themselves define what makes them happy. It is filtered through stories of the charmed life of retired New York Family Court Judge Judy Sheindlin. She can afford to be generous. With “Judge Judy” atop the daytime TV ratings, TV Guide reported last year that Sheindlin is by far the highest paid person on television with an annual salary of $47 million. She hasn’t commented upon or disputed the number. “You should want to give something back,” she said. “If you can share with the people who’ve been good to you ... do it. Not everything has to be a money-making operation. You do things sometimes because it makes you feel good.” Sheindlin has written a handful of books, starting with 1996’s “Don’t Pee On My Leg and Tell Me It’s Raining.” She said her stepdaughter encouraged her to write the latest one. The 71-year-old TV jurist is signed to

continue her show through 2017. With ratings continuing to grow, she doesn’t see an end in sight. “Am I tired? No,” she said. “Do I still get a kick out of what I do? Absolutely. I always say that when I see that needle start to go in the other direction, when people have had enough of me, I’m going to be smart enough to say goodbye. It’s such a joyous ride to be on top, and it takes away from that ride if you sort of ride it down.” Instructions on receiving a downloadable copy of her book are available on her website, www. whatwouldjudysay.com. Ten thousand paperback copies of the book are available, with first choice given to people who have contributed to discussions on the website. Arrangements for the book to be sold in a traditional format at a later date are still being worked out, spokesman Gary Rosen said. After a summer break and vacation in Japan, Sheindlin said she’ll be back at work filming new episodes of “Judge Judy” on Monday. Several have already been taped, and Sheindlin said the best are being frontloaded into the schedule this week. “It’s like drinking wine,” she said. “You don’t serve the really good bottle of wine third.” David Bauder Associated Press

SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY 50 years ago (1964) Thirty-four doctors from throughout the United States and Canada were meeting at Everett General Hospital for a three-day regional workshop of the American Rhinologic Society. Course coordinator was Dr. George Drumheller of Everett. Last year the group met in Holland; next year it would meet in Japan. Hazel Metzger scored a 73 at the Port Gardner Ladies Golf Club field day to win the third division and the low net competition. She also had the longest drive on No. 7 in the second and third divisions. Other winners were Lillian Steffy, Margurite Rasmussen, Coral Hall, Helen Odegard, Ann Gillespie, Pat McGee,

Blanche Yeager, Dot Stumpf and Leah Reece. 25 years ago (1989) Vicki Stelljes of Everett had joined Security Pacific Bank of Washington as vice president and manager of the employee relations department. Prior to her joining the bank, she spent 15 years with GTE Northwest Inc. Bruch & Vedrich, Nic., Better Homes and Gardens had opened a property management division at its 128th St. south Everett office. Manager Ralph Lovely was helping investors built their real estate portfolios through taxdeferred exchanges and acquisitions. By Jack O’Donnell from Herald archives at the Everett Public Library

Among Thursday’s best bets on television: On the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, “Rebuilding the World Trade Center,” looks at construction on the former World Trade Center site. 6 p.m., History. “9/11 Rescue Cops” is a new documentary that tells the story of the heroism and sacrifices displayed by members of the NYPD’s elite Emergency Service Unit (ESU), which was tasked with rescuing as many people as possible — by any means possible — on Sept. 11, 2001. 8 p.m., Discovery Channel. “The Biggest Loser: Glory Days” brings two new trainers (Jennifer Widerstrom and Jessie Pavelka) and a new twist to the venerable weight-loss show: All 20 contestants are former athletes. Flip between this and another episode of “Chopped” on Food. 8 p.m., NBC. Season 5 of “Haven” begins. It’s the non-dome series based on a Stephen King story. 9 p.m., Syfy. From Herald news services

TODAY IN HISTORY Today’s highlight: On Sept. 11, 2001, on America’s single-worst day of terrorism, nearly 3,000 people were killed as 19 alQaida members hijacked four passenger jetliners, sending two of the planes smashing into New York’s World Trade Center, one into the Pentagon and the fourth into a field in western Pennsylvania. On this date: In 1857, the Mountain Meadows Massacre took place in present-day southern Utah as a 120-member Arkansas immigrant party was slaughtered by Mormon militiamen aided by Paiute Indians. In 1941, groundbreaking took place for the Pentagon. In a speech that drew accusations of anti-Semitism, Charles A. Lindbergh told an America First rally in Des Moines, Iowa, that “the British, the Jewish and the Roosevelt administration” were pushing the United States toward war. In 1962, The Beatles completed their first single for EMI, “Love Me Do” and “P.S. I Love You,” at EMI studios in London. In 1974, the family drama “Little House on the Prairie” premiered on NBC-TV. In 1994, actress Jessica Tandy died in Easton, Connecticut, at age 85. Associated Press
