Volcano to be monitored Highly dangerous Glacier Peak has a single outdated seismometer

Heroin dealt from storage Police say a couple sold a pound a day from their rented units in Mill Creek, where dozens of stolen weapons were recovered.

Glacier Peak, at 10,542 feet, dominates the central Cascades and is the only of the range’s five major volcanoes in Snohomish County. The peak is hard to see from Everett, but on a clear day the volcano is clearly visible from the lookout on top of Mount Pilchuck.

GLACIER PEAK — The U.S. Geological Survey has decided to keep a closer eye on the slumbering giant in Snohomish County’s wild, scenic back yard.

A new study is under way for Glacier Peak, one of the most dangerous but least monitored volcanoes in the country.

Scientists are working to map Glacier Peak and the valleys and peaks to the west — about 482 square miles total — using Light Detection and Ranging, or LiDAR. The technology allows them to get an accurate lay of the land even in remote, heavily forested areas, said Jim

Vallance, a research geologist with the Cascades Volcano Observatory.

This helps researchers examine past eruptions, prepare for future volcanic activity and determine the best locations for installing real-time monitoring systems.

The USGS National Volcano Early Warning System classifies Glacier Peak as a “very high threat” volcano, on par with Mount St. Helens or Mount Rainier. The St. Helens eruption in 1980 killed 57 people, destroyed hundreds of homes and wiped out at least 47 bridges and 185 miles of highway.

A large eruption of Glacier Peak could send a deadly wall

of mud, rock and glacial melt barrelling through parts of the Stillaguamish and Skagit valleys.

These catastrophic flows, called lahars, form the land on which Darrington, a town of about 1,400, sits today. Parts of Arlington and Stanwood might lie in the path of a lahar. Scientists also suspect that Burlington, SedroWoolley and Lyman in Skagit County are built on top of debris laid down by Glacier Peak’s mudflows tens of thousands of years ago.

A 2005 assessment by the National Volcano Early Warning System concluded that Glacier Peak needs to be observed and

We started investigating various sources of funding and, lo and behold, it all came together this year.

MILL CREEK — A Snohomish County man and woman are accused of selling a pound of heroin a day — $40,000 worth — from their storage units in Mill Creek.

The storage business owner called police in April after he became suspicious of increased activity at those units, court records show.

When police checked out the names of the renters, they found the man, Richard Shanahan, 35, had warrants for his arrest and was considered armed and dangerous.

The two units were rented in January and February by Shanahan and Melanie Hebert, 30.

Mill Creek police paid the pair a visit at the storage business in April. Shanahan reportedly had 1.6 ounces of heroin in his pockets. A police sergeant could see guns on the floor inside the storage unit, prosecutors wrote. Investigators obtained a judge’s permission to search the units, an effort that turned up 46 firearms, including an Uzi submachine gun. At least 33 of those firearms were determined to be stolen.

Police also found ledgers reportedly tracking the sales of drugs and guns. One of the ledgers revealed the couple was selling a pound of heroin a day,

studied more extensively. A lone, outdated seismometer is the only equipment currently in place, Vallance said.

Plans to map the volcano and set up additional monitoring stations in the past decade were put on hold due to lack of funding.

“Many of our higher profile volcanoes already have LiDAR, and one that we wanted but didn’t have it for was Glacier Peak,” Vallance said. “We started investigating various sources of funding and, lo and behold, it all came together this year.”

The LiDAR mapping is about 30 percent complete, and they hope to finish by mid-October, he said.

The U.S. Geological Survey plans to compile data by early 2015, after which scientists can start to analyze the results. They eventually aim to put instruments on the volcano that can monitor activity in real time and help predict future eruptions.

Glacier Peak is Snohomish County’s only volcano, standing at 10,541 feet in the remote Cascade Range. More than a dozen of its namesake glaciers hug the sides of the mountain.

Most U.S. volcanoes dot the west coast of the country, part of the Ring of Fire that circles the Pacific Ocean. Five considered to present the highest threat are in Alaska, four each in Washington and Oregon, three in California and two in Hawaii.

Glacier Peak erupts more violently than the other four active volcanoes in Washington, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. It also does so more frequently. The last eruption was about 240 years ago, and the most recent large eruption took place an estimated 1,800 years ago. The odds of an eruption on any given day is about 1 in 1,000, based on USGS estimates.

In 2007, Snohomish County began requiring people to sign a disclosure form before building in the path of a possible volcanic eruption or a tsunami, acknowledging the risk of a natural disaster. The National Volcano Early Warning System has identified 57 volcanoes in the country that need better monitoring. Glacier Peak, Mount Baker, Mount Rainier and Mount St. Helens are listed as the highest priorities in Washington.

be harassed by the police, the use of alcohol and drug abuse among some in the community, and the difficulties in getting work, health care, Social Security or other government benefits or aid, and dealing with the stereotypes they all labor under.

“Not all homeless people are drug addicts or alcoholics,” said one man, who called himself Stephen.

(Anderson only asked for first names of the men if they were speaking on the record).

Another man, James, warned the crowd that Everett needs to avoid making the same mistakes that Seattle has, essentially criminalizing all aspects of behavior common on the street, ranging from standing on the sidewalk to parking cars longer than 72 hours in some areas, especially when people are sleeping in their vehicles.

Jacques Preston, who has been homeless since he was released from prison in July, said he’d recently found work in a bakery in Seattle. He said he didn’t drink or use drugs and was upfront with his employer about his living situation and his criminal record, and encouraged the others to not give up on getting their lives back together.

Preston feels that more programs, targeting teens

living in subsidized housing, for example, could equip at-risk people with life skills that will help prevent them from becoming homeless in the first place.

“People may want homes, but they won’t know how to maintain them,” Preston said. Pointing out the door to other men waiting to come into the shelter for the night, or setting up camp on the street outside the mission, he added, “I think they’re not ready yet.”

The final four meetings of the task force will be important, said task force co-chair and planning commission Chairman Chris Adams, because the group will be voting on the list to draw up its recommendations to the city.

And while the task force’s list is only recommendations — it wields no administrative or budgetary power — it will have to think realistically about potential costs, Adams said.

Sylvia Anderson isn’t sure where the money is going to come from either.

“The truth is we’re going to have to reallocate or find money from multiple sources,” she said.

“And that’s what we saw from Seattle and Tacoma.

They used money from multiple sources,” she said.

What the city does after the task force delivers its recommendations will affect not just the city’s homeless population, but also its residents and visitors, like Tracy Vorderbrueggen, who, after her experience, said she’d think twice before coming into downtown Everett for dinner.

“It’s so sad to see a city like Everett go to waste,” she said.

Ferry fix to solve car-scraping problem Some vehicles bottom out while driving the ramp to the vessel’s upper deck.

By Jerry Cornfield Herald Writer

SEATTLE — Washington State Ferries began repairing its newest vessel Wednesday to prevent the bottoms of cars from scraping the ramp leading to the upper parking deck.

The temporary fix to the ramps of the Tokitae is to enable vehicles with low clearances and long wheelbases to reach the upper deck without bottoming out, a concern raised by lawmakers and workers since the boat began operation in June.

Work will only be done overnight while the 144-car vessel is out of service, Washington State Ferries officials said in an email Wednesday. It is expected to be finished Oct. 3.

Officials said the $66,000 cost

will be covered through the contingency of the original construction contract with the shipbuilding firm, Vigor.

A Whidbey Island lawmaker welcomed Wednesday’s announcement, though she said it could have been avoided had senior ferry system managers heeded concerns from their employees.

Employees told Reps. Norma Smith, R-Clinton, and Larry Seaquist, D-Gig Harbor, about the scraping earlier this year. But

senior ferry system managers told lawmakers in a March meeting not to worry.

“If they had listened to their crews in January they wouldn’t be making the fix today,” Smith said Wednesday.

“Having said that, I think it’s wise to engineer a fix and we need to appreciate the excellent work that the crews have done to mitigate the situation until a solution was found,” she said.

The state’s received three claims of scraping damage since the

Tokitae went into service June 30, ferry officials said.

Capt. George Capacci, interim ferries chief in June, explained that on the Tokitae, the edge of the ramp is sharper than on other vessels with upper deck parking and that may increase the potential for scraping, he explained.

Regular service on the MukilteoClinton will not be disrupted by the work, according to ferry officials.

LYMPIA — The financial stakes of the state’s new marijuana industry are no longer theoretical.

Washington’s chief economist predicts the legal recreational market will generate $636 million for the state through the middle of 2019.

Those millions are already trickling in, and next month the state will make the first payouts from a portion of excise taxes and fees collected from growers, processors and retailers.

That portion — $4 million as of Monday and $450 million in the economist’s forecast — are sequestered in a special account, not the general fund used to pay for the state’s daily operations.

The initiative specifies how money in that account is to be doled out. Ten percent is for a public education campaign, and 15 percent is for substance abuse prevention programs, for example.

The University of Washington gets a few dollars for operating a website, and the Liquor Control Board, which regulates recreational marijuana, is promised money to cover the myriad costs of overseeing the industry.

But there’s a problem: The initiative directs half the money to the Basic Health Plan, a state health insurance program that no longer exists. It went away with the arrival of the federal health care law.

The treasurer and the governor’s budget folks aren’t sure what to do and asked Attorney General Bob Ferguson for advice. Until it comes, they’ll keep those dollars under wraps.

If it turns out that the money is up for grabs, lawmakers will be able to amend the state law to make clear who should get it.

Forest Hughes unloads one of 20 barrels of barley in Granite Falls on Wednesday. The grains came from breweries in Redmond.

Cows and brewers relieved Beer-makers can still give their soggy old grains to farmers to feed their livestock.

By Jerry Cornfield Herald Writer

The federal Food and Drug Administration is shelving a proposed change that threatened to end beer-makers’ ability to give away their soggy, used-up grains to farmers for livestock feed.

The decision formally announced last week leaves intact a long-standing practice that saves micro-brewers the

cost of hauling spent grains to landfills and gives farmers a nutritious source of food for their bovines.

“That’s great to hear,” said Shawn Loring of Lazy Boy Brewing in Everett, who didn’t expect any final action until sometime next year. “In the end we would have had to landfill it and that would be very expensive.”

And the guy who picks up spent grains each week from Loring and several other businesses hadn’t gotten wind of the FDA’s decision either until a reporter phoned.

“I’m glad to hear it,” said Forest Hughes, of Granite Falls. “I actually haven’t had any worries

the last couple months because I figured if enough people complained about it they’d get it right.”

FDA officials did get an earful from brewers, farmers and politicians after proposing to tweak animal food safety rules in a way that would have required spent grains to be completely dried and packaged before they could be given away or dumped in a landfill.

That would have forced brewers and distillers to buy and install driers capable of handling the large volumes of grain used in the alcohol-making process.

Equipment and power costs alone could have forced some

out of business.

In April, Michael R. Taylor, the FDA’s deputy commissioner for foods and veterinary medicine, said the agency never intended to target the spent grains and promised the language would be revised. That happened Sept. 19.

“It’s good news for sure,” said Pat Ringe, vice president of brewing operation for Diamond Knot Brewing Co. in Mukilteo which produces as much as 20,000 pounds of spent grains, hops and wheat in a week.

Had the rules changed, it would have driven up the price of beer to pay for the added cost of See GRAINS, Page A5

Edmonds pharmacy robber possibly had inside help The arrested man had a previous run-in with the law involving a murder.

By Eric Stevick Herald Writer

EVERETT — A man acquitted of murder in 2010 was arrested Tuesday for investigation of robbery in a 2013 Edmonds pharmacy holdup.

The robbery occurred at a Bartell Drugs shortly before closing last September. A man in an orange brim baseball cap, dark hooded jacket and wearing a red bandana over his face demanded OxyContin and syrups with codeine in them. He also took more than $850 in cash.

Police believe Michael Mitchell, 25, was the masked man.

He allegedly led employees to believe he could be armed by keeping one hand in his jacket

pocket as he yelled at them to hurry. He was arrested at a state Department of Corrections office in Bellevue.

In 2010, Mitchell was armed during a confrontation outside a Lynnwood-area apartment building after a fight between two women spiralled out of control. Jurors sided with Mitchell when he told them that he was defending a friend who was being assaulted by Armond Davidson, 22. During the trial, Mitchell said

Davidson made motions that led him to believe he had a gun. The other man was fatally shot while Mitchell was hitting him with the gun and the weapon discharged.

In the case of the pharmacy holdup, detectives believe a store employee provided information that aided the robber, prosecutors alleged in court papers.

A search warrant turned up text messages between Mitchell and the employee who allegedly wrote “no one in back” and “empty

though, just us” just minutes before the robbery. The employee has been arrested, too.

Detectives from Edmonds and other agencies are continuing investigations to determine if the pair might have been involved in similar robberies at other pharmacies and businesses in Snohomish and north King counties, Edmonds police Sgt. Mark Marsh said.

Media might need a permit to photograph wilderness

By Phuong Le Associated Press

SEATTLE — The U.S. Forest Service is proposing permanent new rules that would require media organizations to obtain a permit to film and shoot photographs in more than 100 million acres of the nation’s wilderness.

Under the plan, the Forest Service would consider the nature of a proposed project before approving a special use permit then charge fees of up to $1,500 for commercial filming and photography in federally designated wilderness areas.

Mickey H. Osterreicher, general counsel for the National Press Photographers Association, said such rules would be a clear violation of the First Amendment and raises concerns about press freedom, including whether denying a permit would amount to prior restraint.

“What if they deny you a permit because they don’t like the story you’re working on?” he asked.

Liz Close, the Forest Service’s acting wilderness director, said the Wilderness Act of 1964 prohibits

commercial enterprise in wilderness.

The rules exclude breaking news situations, defined as “an event or incident that arises suddenly, evolves quickly, and rapidly ceases to be newsworthy.”

But Osterreicher said the agency ignores big distinctions between editorial and commercial use and also should not be allowed to define what constitutes breaking news.

“We’re headed down a really slippery slope if we allowed the government to include editorial and news gathering activities in commercial use,” he said.

Close said the current rules have been in place for 48 months, and the proposal released this month would make those guidelines permanent.

Public comments are due

by Nov. 3.

“This is the opportunity for the public and news organizations to work with us to make sure that our directive is the way we want it,” she said.

Those who violate the rules could face fines up to $1,000, The Oregonian reported.

“This isn’t even about

fees,” said Steve Bass, president and CEO of Oregon Public Broadcasting, whose employees have run into permit issues. “It’s really the principle. Does the government get to decide what’s newsworthy and what’s not newsworthy? It’s my understanding of the First Amendment that they don’t get to decide that.”

Bass said he understands why officials want

to limit the impact on public lands by large film crews with trucks and other equipment.

“That’s not the kind of stuff we do,” he said.

Under the rules, permit applications would be evaluated based on several criteria, including whether it spreads information about the enjoyment or use of wilderness or its ecological, geological,

scientific, educational, scenic or historical values; helps preserve the wilderness character; and doesn’t advertise products or services. Officials also would consider whether other suitable film sites are available outside the wilderness.

Ed Jahn, a producer and reporter with Oregon Field Guide, a program of Oregon Public Broadcasting, said he and his colleagues

Calif. billionaire supports Washington Dems Environmentalist Tom Steyer is in favor of candidates who will address climage change.

Associated Press SEATTLE — A political action group formed by billionaire California environmentalist Tom Steyer announced Wednesday it will spend money to support Democratic candidates in at least two key legislative races in Washington state.

NextGen Climate said its support would be focused on two Senate contests: one in Pierce County between Democratic Rep. Tami Green and incumbent Republican Sen. Steve O’Ban, and the other in King County

between the Senate’s main Republican budget writer, Sen. Andy Hill, and Democratic challenger Matt Isenhower.

Those two races are among a handful that could decide control of the 49-member Senate, which is currently controlled by a coalition of 24 Republicans and two Democrats.

NextGen Climate did not rule out involvement in other races in Washington state, and the group also said it would be working in Oregon on getout-the-vote efforts on two legislative races.

In a press release, the

group said its strategy was to support legislative candidates in Washington and Oregon who are ready to take action to address climate change.

NextGen Climate says it will work with Washington Conservation Voters and Oregon League of Conservation Voters to ensure both states have a proclimate majority in the legislatures in 2015.

In Washington state, Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee has made climate change a main focus of his administration, and he has convened a task force to recommend ways to cap carbon emissions, such as a carbon tax or cap and trade system. Those recommendations are

likely to shape legislation he requests in the 2015 legislative session.

Last week, Steyer gave $1 million to NextGen Climate Action Committee, the political action committee that he set up in Washington state. That same week, the committee gave $50,000 to the Kennedy Fund, a political committee that supports Democrats in state Senate races.

Brent Ludeman, executive director of Senate Republican Campaign Committee, said the group is “trying to buy the Legislature to support Tom Steyer’s agenda.”

Currently, Republicans hold a significant fundraising advantage in the two Washington races

NextGen is targeting.

So far, the race between Hill and Isenhower in the Senate’s 45th District is the most expensive, with Hill already raising more than $570,000. Isenhower has raised nearly $260,000.

In the 28th Senate District, O’Ban has raised more than $475,000 compared to Green’s approximately $200,000.

Green said that NextGen Climate’s interest in her race was good news, considering her current financial disadvantage.

“It makes me a little sad that we have so much money in politics, but if my opposition is going to have that much money, it helps me level the playing field,” she said.

Stolen car pursuit crash kills two people SPANAWAY — A Pierce County sheriff’s spokesman said a stolen car pursuit in the Spanaway area ended with two people dead after the car crashed.

The News Tribune reported that spokesman Ed Troyer said a 22-year-old man and a 19-yearold woman died Wednesday afternoon.

The driver of the second vehicle involved in the crash was being treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

Troyer said the man and woman in a stolen white Honda lost control of the car as they fled and were hit by an oncoming vehicle.

A deputy stopped a stolen black Honda at about the same time and detained one person.

A woman had called 911 with a tip about the cars.

Tacoma: Stolen vintage motorcycles recovered in Seattle

Seattle: Former Bush School ski coach accused of filming girls

Police say a trailer containing four vintage motorcycles stolen in Tacoma has been recovered in Seattle.

Seattle Detective Patrick Michaud said police got a tip Wednesday from a witness who spotted the trailer. The trailer had been featured in a Facebook post.

A pickup truck, the trailer and five motorcycles were stolen earlier this week from a Tacoma hotel parking lot. The News Tribune reported that Jon Neuman says his pickup truck was found abandoned in Auburn.

Neuman and friends were in Tacoma this past weekend for the 2014 Motorcycle Cannonball Endurance Run, a 4,000-mile ride that ended Sunday.

Michaud said the bikes have been dusted for fingerprints and the theft remains under investigation.

A federal grand jury has indicted the now-former crosscountry ski coach at the Bush School, a private school in Seattle, almost a year after authorities said he was caught filming female students on a trip to British Columbia.

Jason Christopher Paur was arrested at the Silver Star ski area in British Columbia in December 2013.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said the students had discovered a camera hidden in their bedroom.

The U.S. attorney’s office in Seattle said the 44-year-old remains in Canadian custody.

The indictment charged him with five child-pornographyrelated offenses. Prosecutors sayid he also recorded students during the annual ski trip the prior two years.

A call to a lawyer who has represented Paur in Canada was not answered after business hours Wednesday.

It was not clear if he had a lawyer representing him in Seattle.

Ellensburg: Farmers want to drive tractors on John Wayne Trail Kittitas County commissioners are asking the state Parks and Recreation Commission to allow farmers and ranchers to drive tractors and harvesters on the John Wayne Pioneer Trail.

In a letter this month, the commissioners said the trail is a valuable recreational asset but an impediment to landowners.

The Daily Record reported more than 90 miles of the trail run through the county.

The former railroad bed is part of Iron Horse State Park which extends from North Bend to the Columbia River near Vantage.

have been asked about a dozen times over the past several years to get a permit to film in wilderness. It varies among Forest Service districts; some require a commercial filming permit, others don’t have a problem, he said.

In each case, he said, they tell the agency they’re doing the story and do not get a permit.

“We’re journalists. We don’t ask permission to do a story,” he said, adding he and others abide by all the regulations that also apply to the public.

Ron Pisaneschi, general manager of Idaho Public Television, said his station recently applied for a permit to film in four wilderness areas in Idaho for a program to air later this year on the 50th anniversary of the Wilderness Act. “It was a bit of an arduous process, and there were a lot of questions about what was the nature of the program, where we were going,” he said.

Pisaneschi said he worried that if the proposal becomes permanent it could mean more burdens that will interfere with their ability to do their work.

a piece of the financial action.

That’s a sore point with members of city and county councils. They argue their communities are where growing and retailing occurs and thus are entitled to a share of the revenue to cover costs of things like zoning, regulating and policing.

Lawmakers went down to the wire of the 2014 session debating a revenue-sharing plan and came up empty.

Some legislators simply didn’t want to see money going to cities or counties that have enacted bans on the industry. Communities, they argued, needed “skin in the game” — meaning they allow growing, processing and retailing — to be entitled to a cut of the proceeds.

Counties and cities will try again in 2015, with possibly different pitches.

For example, counties might be willing to agree to leave out counties that enact bans and include them should their policy change. Cities, on the other hand, are said to prefer an incentive-based approach. Every city would get something, and those with marijuana businesses could get more because their community is generating revenue.

At times, the conversation might feel like a repeat of the 2014 session, but it won’t be the same.

For one thing, all the hand-wringing took place before any dollars had poured in.

That’s changed. There’s money in the bank. There’s a clearer idea of the stakes, and they are real. Very real.

Ringe said Wednesday he hadn’t been too worried of late.

“When it first came out there was concern. Knowing it was just preliminary rulemaking, I knew they weren’t coming in with their FDA cops,” he said. “It just seemed rather shortsighted and unnecessary considering the impacts.”

Federal lawmakers across the country also lobbied the FDA not to make the change.

“The rule was trying to address a problem that didn’t really exist.” said U.S. Rep. Suzan DelBene, D-Wash.

She, U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen, D-Wash. and 52 other members of Congress, wrote FDA officials in May to ask them to rethink their position.

“Humans aren’t the only ones who benefit from the great beer coming from the Pacific Northwest,” Larsen said. “I’m pleased the FDA is listening to the brewers and farmers like those in the Pacific Northwest who have figured out a way to get more value out of these spent grains while also decreasing waste.”

Vanderpool said he was feeling guilty about what he was doing. He told investigators the incident wouldn’t have happened if his wife had been home.

In 2001, Vanderpool was found exposing himself at a Marysville espresso stand.

He was convicted in 2005 of multiple sex crimes, stemming from allegations that he broke into homes in Walla Walla and watched people while he masturbated. He also was accused of looking through windows. He was a suspect in 15 incidents.

Last year Vanderpool was convicted of failing to register as a sex offender. He was accused of peeping on a woman at a home in Manson, Washington He was there helping his brother with a construction project.

The defendant has admitted to having more than 200 victims, saying the behavior started when he was about 14.

The project involves the design, fabrication and installation of what ferry officials describe as eight “prototype inserts” on the upper and lower vehicle ramps. The purpose is to provide a smoother transition.

If the temporary inserts prove successful, permanent modifications will be made to the ramps when the boat is out of service for a scheduled maintenance period in December.

Repairs will involve use of loud equipment “that sounds like a giant jackhammer,” the email said.

Residents of some waterfront communities may hear crews working overnight. To minimize the noise, crews will work on the vessel as it sails around Puget Sound.

The state is in the process of building two additional 144-car vessels. Both will be constructed with smoother ramps than the Tokitae, officials have said.

Mass shootings triple The shooters can be spotted early by police, ministers or teachers, the FBI says.

Chicago Tribune WASHINGTON — The number of sudden mass shootings in the United States has nearly tripled in recent years, the FBI said Wednesday, prompting the bureau to expand its work with state and local officials to identify potential gunmen before they attack.

In a study of active-shooter incidents, FBI officials said there were 160 cases from 2000 through 2013, with the numbers growing from an average of 6.4 incidents in the first seven years to 16.4 in the past

seven years. Seventy percent of the shooters attacked in schools or workplaces, and 60 percent of the shootings happened so fast that they were over before the police arrived.

“How do we prevent these?” said James Yacone, FBI assistant director. “We want to engage with these people early and start a dialogue, and get the person off the path to violence.”

Yacone was the top bureau official in Colorado in July 2012 when 12 people were killed and 58 wounded at an Aurora, Colorado, movie theater. That incident topped the FBI’s survey with the most casualties.

It was followed by the 2007 shooting at Virginia Tech (49 killed and wounded); the 2009 Fort Hood, Texas, shooting (45 killed and wounded), and

the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticutt. (29 killed and wounded).

Authorities gave several reasons for the rise in mass shootings, including copycat killers and the availability of firearms.

Andre Simons, supervisory special agent assigned to the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit in Quantico, Virginia, said the bureau has the resources to help local authorities identify potential shooters, many of whom have “deeply held personal grievances” and often quietly start planning an “act of catastrophic violence.”

Simons said many are troubled at work or school, while others follow the news of shootings and seek similar notoriety. “The copycat phenomenon is real,” he said.

“They often become inspired by past incidents.”

But they can be spotted early by police, ministers or teachers, and Simons said his unit receives up to three requests a week from local authorities seeking help evaluating potential gunmen. “We want to get the person the help they need,” he said. “It’s our job to help them find alternatives to violence.”

The FBI report found a total of 1,043 casualties during those 14 years, with 486 killed and 557 wounded. All but two of the shootings involved single gunmen; six of the shooters were female; in nine cases the shooters killed family members first; and five gunmen in four shootings remain at large.

The study excluded gang and drug violence.

Police spot ambush suspect Associated Press A suspect in the fatal ambush of a trooper has occasionally made himself visible to officers before melting back into the forest, and police found empty packs of Serbian-branded cigarettes and soiled diapers believed to have been left by him, Pennsylvania State Police said Wednesday.

Officers saw a man they believe to be Eric Frein as recently as Tuesday, Lt. Col. George Bivens said Wednesday. But it was at a distance, and the extremely rugged terrain separating the officers from Frein gave him “the ability to disappear,” Bivens said.

It was the first time authorities have reported possibly laying eyes on the 31-year-old suspect charged with opening fire at the Blooming Grove state police barracks on Sept.

12, killing Cpl. Bryon Dickson and seriously wounding a second trooper who remains hospitalized.

Bivens said the discovery of the empty packs of cigarettes and dirty diapers is helping to cement authorities’ belief they were closing in as the manhunt stretched into its 12th full day. They believe Frein is using diapers so he can remain stationary for long periods of time. They are testing the diapers to confirm he wore them.

Frein appears to be probing the loose perimeter that’s been set up around him in a heavily wooded area around Canadensis, where he grew up and his parents still live, Bivens said.

He appears to have purposely made himself visible at times, staying just far enough away to make it unlikely he’d be caught, he said.

“I almost think that some of this is a game to him,” Bivens said.

Upwards of 1,000 law enforcement officials have been involved in the search for Frein, named last week to the FBI’s 10 most wanted list. He is considered armed and dangerous, and police have authority to kill him if he doesn’t surrender.

National support for legalized marijuana has slipped by seven percentage points in the past year, from 51 percent in 2013 to 44 percent today, according to the Public Religion Research Institute.

PRRI asked 4,500 Americans about the intensity of their support for or opposition to legalizing marijuana. The year-over-year drop in overall support was concentrated among those who favored

Obama to create huge marine reserve WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama will use his legal authority Thursday to create the world’s largest fully protected marine reserve in the central Pacific Ocean, demonstrating his increased willingness to advance a conservation agenda without the need for congressional approval. By broadening the existing Pacific Remote Islands National Marine Monument from almost 87,000 square miles to more than 490,000 square miles. Obama has now protected more acres of federal land and sea by executive power than any other president in at least 50 years, and makes the area in question off limits to commercial fishing.

White House plan irks some Washington residents are pushing back against suggestions that the Secret Service might make it harder for the public to get close to the White House.

Recent reports suggested the service might respond to a security breach at the White House by increasing the security perimeter around the White House.

But locals and tourists alike, including Washington’s nonvoting member of Congress and a prominent architecture critic, said the service charged with guarding the president shouldn’t punish the public for its own lapse.

Drone OK likely for films In a major decision that is likely to set the stage for more commercial drone flights, the Federal Aviation Administration is planning to announce Thursday that it will permit Hollywood filmmakers to operate drones on movie sets, according to current and former U.S. officials. The FAA has long enforced a de facto ban on the use of drones for commercial purposes. But under a 2012 law passed by Congress, the agency is developing rules that will eventually legalize the practice and allow drones of all sizes to operate in the national airspace.

A canine unit searches for Eric Frein on Wednesday in Canadensis, Pennsylvania.

PENNSYLVANIA STATE POLICE

Frein dressed as an Eastern European war re-enactor.

In an indication of just how wild the landscape is, tactical teams have “kicked out quite a few bears” as they search for Frein in caves, Bivens said.

The lengthy manhunt has upended life in this usually tranquil corner of the Pocono Mountains, with unannounced and indefinite roadblocks and a “shelter in place” directive that prevented residents from leaving their houses for more than 24 hours at one point.

Those who weren’t already home could not return.

Residents say they support police in the search for Frein,

but patience is wearing thin.

“Families are getting separated,” said Adam Christmann, who has been kept from his home at least twice in the past few days.

High school student Kendall Lewczak left home at 7 a.m.

Friday to go to work with her mom, since classes had been canceled because of the manhunt. They came back in the late afternoon to find access to their street blocked off.

“We spent the night over on the bridge sleeping in the car waiting, and hoping, that we could get home,” Lewczak said.

Authorities insist residents have been able to get escorts to their homes in emergencies, such as to retrieve medication.

But some residents said elderly relatives have been left unattended and pets unfed.

One attorney accused police of violating residents’ rights, and urged anyone who felt aggrieved to contact him.

“Just because one of their brethren was murdered does not give them a right to violate YOUR Rights,” Joshua Prince of Bechtelsville wrote on his firm’s website.

The provocative post,

JAKE STEVENS / THE TIMES-TRIBUNE

coming less than two weeks after Dickson’s death, drew hundreds of comments, split between those calling Prince a shameless opportunist and people critical of police tactics.

Prince said Wednesday that one resident told him he was kept away from his house for days, and returned home Tuesday night to find his dogs had eliminated all over the property.

“There is no general blanket allowance for setting the Constitution aside because the Pennsylvania State Police and the FBI are doing an investigation or manhunt,” he said.

Bivens said Wednesday that troopers are “doing their best to balance safety concerns with the needs for residents to be able to travel freely to and from their homes.”

And Ralph Megliola, chairman of the Barrett Township Board of Supervisors, said most residents he’s spoken with believe police are “doing the best job they can” under difficult circumstances.

“Most of them understand,” he said. “They’d rather not be in their houses if there’s a murderer in their back yard.”

Support for legal pot falls 7 percent The Washington Post

ACROSS THE U.S.

marijuana legalization last year, but not strongly. Opposition increased greatest among those who strongly opposed legal marijuana.

These numbers suggest that people who only slightly supported legalization last year have changed their minds, and that people who slightly opposed legalization now feel more strongly about it. They could augur difficulties for marijuana legalization measures on the ballot this year in Alaska and Oregon. An August

PPP poll found Alaska voters closely divided on the marijuana question, with 44 percent in favor of legalization and 49 percent opposed. A June SurveyUSA poll found more robust support for legalization in Oregon, at 51 to 41.

An October 2013 Gallup poll found strong support for marijuana legalization nationally, with 58 percent in favor and 39 percent opposed. The PRRI and Gallup numbers are not directly comparable, since the questions were worded

differently in each survey.

Moreover, survey responses on marijuana legalization tend to be highly sensitive to particular question wording.

Still, the year-over-year drop within this one poll is significant and well outside the poll’s 1.8 point margin of error.

If other surveys show similar findings, it could mean that Americans generally don’t like the news coming out of Washington and Colorado — even if that news has been largely positive.

A massive blaze that threatens thousands of homes has become the second-most expensive blaze to fight in the state this year. A state fire spokesman said Wednesday the King Fire east of Sacramento has cost more than $53 million since it began nearly two weeks ago. He said that figure ranks behind the $86 million that has been spent to tame a still-burning fire in the Klamath National Forest along the CaliforniaOregon border. However, those figures are nowhere near the more than $127 million spent to stop the Rim Fire last year in Yosemite National Park.

Pritchard is asking a judge to force the New Mexico Corrections Department to let him worship Satan more freely and wants $140,000 in damages. Pritchard is serving time on aggravated stalking charges.

New home sales soar in August Buying in the West has nearly doubled in the past 12 months.

Associated Press WASHINGTON — U.S. sales of new homes surged in August, led by a wave of buying in the West and Northeast.

The Commerce Department said Wednesday that new-home sales climbed 18 percent last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 504,000. The report also revised up the July sales rate to 427,000 from 412,000.

Newly constructed homes sold

at the fastest clip since May 2008.

It’s a clear sign of improvement for a real estate market that has been muddled in recent months, as the rebound in sales following the housing bust began to slow.

Sales of new homes are up 33 percent over the past 12 months.

Median prices for new homes have risen nearly 8 percent during the same period to $275,600.

“All is not perfect in the housing market but things are certainly better today than they were about one year ago,” said Dan Greenhaus, chief strategist at BTIG brokerage.

In the West, August purchases of new homes soared 50 percent

compared to the prior month. Off the sharp August increase, sales in the West have nearly doubled in the past 12 months.

Between August and July, sales grew 29.2 percent in the Northeast. Buying increased 7.8 percent in the South and remained flat in the Midwest.

The housing market has been sputtering for much this year.

A nascent recovery in sales and prices began to struggle toward the middle of 2013. Ferocious winter weather delayed construction and limited sales at the beginning of 2014. Buying did pick up over the summer. Yet the pace of sales has been depressed

by sluggish wage growth and the price surge last year that put homes out of reach for many Americans.

There are a number of signs that another housing uptick may be in the works.

The National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo builder sentiment index climbed in September to 59, the highest reading since November 2005.

Readings above 50 indicate more builders view sales conditions as improving.

That has yet to translate into more construction, however.

Airbus ups airliner forecast China will surpass the U.S. as the largest aviation market within a decade, the European firm says.

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Aircraft from the Breitling Jet Team escort the latest offering from Airbus over Toulouse, France, on Saturday. The Airbus A400M is a strategic military aircraft for intercontinental or long range missions.

increased output of the new A350 and a faster ramp-up to full production of the re-engined A330neo, with decisions likely next year, he said.

The long-term forecast of the manufacturer, based in Toulouse, France, predicts demand for almost 9,300 wide-body planes worth $2.5 trillion — 1,500 of those in the 400-seat-plus bracket occupied by the A380 — and more than 22,000 single-aisle planes valued at $2.1 trillion in the market dominated by the A320 and Chicago-based Boeing’s 737.

The overall global fleet will

grow to 37,500 planes by 2033 from 18,500 today, after 12,400 older and less efficient passenger aircraft and freighters are retired, Airbus said.

The biggest shift in the demand profile will be toward larger planes as airlines seek to maximize passenger numbers at airports with limited operating slots, the company predicted.

While Airbus won’t move beyond a 10 per month rate on the A330, the faster shift to the reengined version due from 2017 may allow for production of more than the 86 upgraded planes that Leahy said earlier this week

would be built in 2019.

On the A350, due for first delivery to Qatar Airways this year, Airbus will seek to go beyond 10 a month after 2018.

While Airbus reckons it will secure a larger share of the very large aircraft market, its projection for overall demand in the segment falls 200 planes short of the 1,700 sales it envisaged in last year’s forecast. Of the aircraft for which it no longer sees a market, 100 are dedicated cargo jets offered only by Boeing in the form of the 747 freighter, with the other 100 passenger planes in the A380 versus 747-8 segment.

Southwest Airlines plans to use biofuels The Dallas Morning News

biz bits

Southwest Airlines announced Wednesday that it plans to buy some biofuels made from waste wood, for use in its San Francisco Bay airports beginning in two years.

To use Southwest’s phrasing, it is purchasing “low carbon renewable jet fuel, made using forest residues that will help reduce the risk of destructive wildfires in the Western United States.”

It has agreed to buy about 3 million gallons a year from Red Rocks Biofuels, a Fort Collins, Colorado, company that focused on recycling that foresty stuff.

That won’t provide much of Southwest’s needs. The Dallas carrier in 2013 bought 1,818

Boeing adds research center in S. Carolina Boeing is bringing hundreds of new jobs to South Carolina. The Post and Courier of Charleston reported that the aerospace company has leased a 100,000-square-foot building in North Charleston for a research center that will employ as many as 400 people. The Research and Technology Center-South Carolina will open later this year and focus on technology to make fuselages of composite materials. The building is near another facility that makes cabin parts for the company’s 787 Dreamliner. Last year Boeing announced it would invest another $1 billion in the state and create 2,000 jobs over eight years. Boeing already employs about 6,700 workers in South Carolina.

Sales during holidays could increase 4.5%

Bloomberg News TOULOUSE, France — Airbus Group predicted airlines will buy planes worth $4.6 trillion at list prices over the next 20 years, with Chinese domestic travel surpassing the U.S. as the largest single aviation market within a decade.

Airlines will need 31,400 new jetliners and freighters during the period — 2,180 or 7 percent more than suggested in Airbus’s previous 20-year forecast a year ago — with passenger growth remaining at 4.7 percent annually, the company estimates.

John Leahy, Airbus’s sales chief, said the company could contemplate lifting production of its single-aisle A320 series to 50 aircraft a month or higher, though no decision will be taken until 2015. The new forecast assumes that the A380 superjumbo will win more than half the market for very large aircraft, where it competes with Boeing’s latest 747, and that production can continue at 30 a year, he added.

“While mature aviation regions such as Europe and North America will continue to grow, Asia will stand out along with emerging markets for dynamic development,” said Leahy, who is also Airbus’s chief commercial officer.

Demand will be especially strong for twin-engine wide-bodies, especially in 2017 through 2022, and the company is studying

million gallons, so 3 million gallons would represent 0.2 percent of its needs or about 60 percent of an average day’s usage.

But it might make a noticeable portion of the fuel needs at Southwest’s Bay airports — San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose — where the fuel will be delivered beginning in 2016.

“Our commitment to sustainability and efficient operations led us on a search for a viable biofuel that uses a sustainable feedstock with a high rate of success,” said Bill Tiffany, Southwest’s vice president of supply chain. “Red Rock Biofuel’s technology, economics and approved use made entering into an agreement for purchase a win-win situation.”

“From the outset, we have sought to build the best possible team of project partners,” Red Rock CEO Terry Kulesa said. “A conversation we started with Southwest on the premise of providing renewable jet fuel at cost parity with conventional jet fuel has evolved into a great partnership. We’re happy to help Southwest diversify its fuel supply.”

According to the announcement, “RRB’s first plant will convert approximately 140,000 dry tons of woody biomass feedstock into at least 12 million gallons per year of renewable jet, diesel, and naphtha fuels.”

Retail sales may increase as much as 4.5 percent this holiday season, exceeding last year’s gain, as improving incomes and job prospects encourage consumers to open their wallets, according to consulting firm Deloitte. Sales, excluding purchases of motor vehicles and gas, may climb to as much as $986 billion in November through January, the firm said Wednesday.

Holiday sales by that measure rose 2.8 percent last year, the company said. Shoppers are poised to increase spending as the decline in the unemployment rate to 6.1 percent makes them feel more secure in their finances.

Missouri Ford plant to add 1,200 workers Ford Motor Co. said Thursday that it’s adding 1,200 workers and another shift to a Missouri plant that makes its new Transit van. The Transit arrived at dealerships in June, but so far only 2,085 have been sold through August, according to Autodata Corp.

However, demand has been gradually increasing, and Ford expects it to continue to rise through the year. The 1,200 workers already have been hired and are expected to start work in late November at the plant just outside Kansas City in Claycomo. The second shift of Transit workers will bring the number of hourly workers at the plant to more than 6,000.

Carnival recovers from cruise disaster As vacationers hoarded snacks and human waste dribbled down the walls of last year’s “cruise from hell,” many expected Carnival, the world’s biggest cruise operator, had suffered a business-wrecking hit.

Carnival just logged one of its best summers in history, beating projections by posting nearly $5 billion in sales of tickets, tours and on-board goodies.

It’s on track to earn $16 billion in sales this year, breaking a company record.

CHEYENNE, Wyo. — A proposal to export twice as much Wyoming wind power to Los Angeles as the amount of electricity generated by the Hoover Dam includes an engineering feat even more massive than that famous structure: Four chambers, each approaching the size of the Empire State Building, would be carved from an underground salt deposit to hold huge volumes of compressed air.

The caverns in Utah would serve as a kind of massive battery on a scale never before seen, helping to overcome the fact that — even in Wyoming — wind doesn’t blow all the time.

Air would be pumped into the caverns when power demand is low and wind is high, typically at night. During times of increased demand, the compressed air would be released to drive turbines and feed power

Existing home sales have also eased back compared with last year’s pace.

Purchases of existing homes fell 1.8 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.05 million in August, the National Association of Realtors said this week.

Sales fell from a July rate of 5.14 million, a figure that was revised slightly downward. Overall, the pace of home sales has dropped 5.3 percent year-over-year.

to markets in Southern California.

It’s a relatively simple concept proven decades ago on a much smaller scale by utilities in Alabama and Germany. Yet, experts said Wednesday there’s a reason similar projects don’t exist elsewhere: The technology known as “compressed air energy storage” is expensive, particularly when stacked against other power sources such as cheap, natural gas.

“Stored energy technically is wonderful stuff.

But it’s primarily the capital costs that get you,” said Brendan Kirby, a private consultant and former senior researcher at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. “If it made a lot of economic sense, you’d be seeing these projects duplicated.”

Still, Kirby said the concept holds great promise as expenses drop, wind power capacity expands and West Coast utilities look for more electricity.

Wal-Mart turns to banking GoBank will be available in most of the firm’s nearly 4,300 U.S. locations by late October.

Los Angeles Times Saying it hopes to poach customers from mainstream banks, Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is rolling out a mobile checking account with a linked debit card — a program that it promised would remain low-cost by eliminating fees charged for overdrafts or failing to maintain a minimum balance.

The monthly membership fee of $8.95 is waived if customers set up direct deposits of at least $500 a month, something that even consumers with subprime credit scores probably would be able to do. Users also may load cash into their accounts at participating stores or deposit checks remotely by taking photos with their smartphones, officials at the Bentonville, Arkansas, company said Tuesday.

The service, known as GoBank, will compete against numerous mobile banking programs now available. It will be operated by Green Dot Corp., a Pasadena, California, prepaid-cards specialist that has a subsidiary bank.

Green Dot Bank began test-marketing GoBank to customers early last year, a pilot program that has included offering the product in a few Wal-Mart stores.

A formal announcement of the new push was Wednesday, according to the companies, which said GoBank would be available in most of WalMart’s nearly 4,300 U.S. locations by late October.

Wal-Mart, which made several unsuccessful attempts to start its own bank about a decade ago, already has about 1,100 financial service offices called Money Centers in its stores, with such “checking alternative” offerings as check cashing, money wiring and bill payment.

But GoBank is the first federally insured bank account the giant retailer has offered. Customers buying the service can pick up a starter kit at Wal-Mart stores, activate the account there with a one-time $2.95 fee and complete the application on their smartphones.

The sign outside a Wal-Mart store in Duarte, California.

Ron Friedman, a retail expert at consulting and accounting firm Marcum, said financial services, as with grocery offerings, are another way for Wal-Mart to lure fickle customers into stores. That’s an important tactical move because the big-box chain has been struggling with stagnant U.S. sales and last month cut its earnings forecast for the year.

“Wal-Mart is becoming a financial institution,” Friedman said. “They are trying to be a full-service company.

Customers come in to put money on the debit card and stay to shop in the store.”

Debit cards should be especially appealing to Wal-Mart’s core customers, many of whom do not have traditional banking accounts, Friedman said. The fact that fewer people are struggling to get by these days makes these individuals crucial to the company, he said.

“As the economy has gotten better, the upper-scale customers have gone to better stores, leaving customers who are lower-middle-class to lowerclass behind,” Friedman said.

Elimination of overdraft fees will remove a source of income that is huge for traditional retail banks, which typically charge $34 per balance-busting transaction.

GoBank is designed to decline transactions that exceed an account balance, but sometimes larger

purchases slip through, Green Dot spokeswoman Sharon Pope said.

When that occurs, the account is frozen until the difference is made up out of subsequent deposits, she said.

Steve Streit, Green Dot’s chief executive, said his company will verify applicants’ identities. It also will run them through a proprietary credit checking system that Streit said is less likely than traditional bank systems to reject lower-income applicants and people who have damaged their credit by running into trouble with unrepaid overdrafts in the past.

The other source of customers is expected to be tech-savvy consumers who are familiar with mobile banking and fed up with fees, he said.

Daniel Eckert, senior vice president of sales for Wal-Mart U.S., cited studies that show overdraft and other fees on traditional bank accounts cost the average bank customer $200 to $300 a year. “That is typically what our customers spend for fresh fruit and vegetables a year,” Eckert said.

Banking fees are “a real expense for them, and it puts a real pinch in their pocket.”

“This product is really designed toward Wal-Mart shoppers who find themselves dissatisfied or unhappy with the fees and costs associated with traditional banking, as well as customers with a spotty record of managing their account,” he said.

IN OUR VIEW | Everett’s Bond Street underpass

To avoid getting railroaded The hubris of the railroads 150 years ago stretches to today. As Richard White wrote in his 2011 history, “Railroaded,” “When nineteenth-century editorialists claimed that the fraud, deception and loss of capital that the railroads entailed ultimately did not matter, because Americans now had the railroad, they did not know what they were talking about.”

Leave it to 21st century editorialists, chastened by coal-export terminals and Burlington Northern Santa Fe’s it’s-the-law entitlement, to tilt at Big Rail. If only up-in-arms’ rhetoric made a difference to a multibillion-dollar industry with government and the law on its side.

BNSF’s closing of the underpass at Everett’s Bond Street earlier this summer brings its sharp elbows into focus. As The Herald’s Chris Winters writes, the closure of the pedestrianonly underpass that opens to a trail threading the Port Gardner neighborhood to Pigeon Creek Beach is another downtown amenity gone. The Everett Avenue bridge to the northeast is the substitute access point.

Linking the waterfront to downtown is a city-planning axiom. But there’s little that Everett can do. “We do have a few cards in our hand and we’re willing to play those and be as forceful as we can,” Mayor Ray Stephanson told The Herald.

One card is revisiting an earlier underpass compact

between the city and the port, and ferreting out language that might be used to squeeze BNSF. But soak in biographies of James J. Hill and Leland Stanford and behold the lessthan-zero odds of successful squeezing.

While a city council proclamation illustrates conviction, it won’t move the unmovable.

For that, the feds and Washington’s Congressional delegation need to be involved.

The railroad has its reasons.

“BNSF has experienced numerous trespassing situations in that area,” BNSF spokesman Gus Melonas told The Herald. The rationale echoes John Steinbeck writing about railroad “bulls” during the Great Depression. The needs of the

railroad always come first.

Controversy surrounding Northwest coal-export facilities has provided a citizen primer on tackling train-related headaches. How many of us knew that railroads only have to pony up 5 percent for mitigation as rail capacity swells? How many were reminded that most things involving railroads still fall under the federal sphere?

One hope with the backlash over coal trains is awakening lawmakers and the public to a 19th century relic: the entitlements given to the railroads and their indifference to local interests.

So start small. Urge Washington’s delegation to use its political leverage to reopen the Bond Street underpass.

GUEST COMMENTARY | ENERGY INDEPENDENCE

Safely done, oil by rail has many benefits

By Dan Cameron

T

he U.S. faces numerous foreign policy challenges — many in areas that are sources of crude oil that helps drive our economy and supports our way of life. Vladimir Putin sending tanks and troops into Ukraine and ISIS taking over oil fields in Iraq and Syria make it clear how important energy independence is for America.

Yet that point seems completely lost on demonstrators recently arrested for blocking the railroad tracks in Everett.

Their protest against train shipments of oil and coal and “proposed export terminals” shows that only one side of the story about oil trains is being told.

Crude oil coming by rail through the Puget Sound region is going to in-state refineries to produce the transportation fuels we all rely upon.

Every unit train that brings oil to a Washington refinery reduces the need for transporting foreign and Alaska crude across the waters of Puget Sound.

Petroleum fuels and products refined from crude oil are essential for Northwest businesses and industries, for agriculture, for getting goods to markets, for people getting to and from work, getting kids to school, and so much more. These include

gasoline and diesel for cars, trucks, buses and ferries, jet fuel for airplanes and numerous other products. Our entire economy runs because of these products, and our lifestyles are made possible because of the reliable access to them.

Communities, businesses and people in this state use more than 19 million barrels of petroleum products every year.

With Boeing, commercial airlines and other users, the state is the eighth largest consumer of jet fuel in the country.

While petroleum consumption is declining, we will, for many years to come, require millions of barrels of oil a year for use in our state. Isn’t it better that we rely on domestic sources?

Even with higher fuel economy standards and alternative energy sources for transportation and other needs, petroleum fuels and products will remain the backbone of our Northwest and national economy for decades.

We need infrastructure to move toward energy independence. The Vancouver Energy project is the most aggressive infrastructure development for U.S. energy independence in the West. Its crude-by-rail facility at the Port of Vancouver would send domestic crude to West Coast refineries and reduce West Coast reliance on foreign oil by 30 percent.

The Vancouver Energy project will also stimulate the local and regional economy with more than 1,000 direct and indirect jobs every year through 15 years of operation, and generate an overall economic impact of about $2 billion including construction activities. It will also help advance U.S. energy security and independence in an unstable world, and provide a stable supply of crude oil for domestic needs.

Most people understand this. Public opinion surveys show that the majority of people in Washington and the Northwest disagree with the protesters in regard to crude by rail.

Still it is frustrating that the news media and others such as the protesters tend to focus on the perceived negatives regarding crude oil by rail. There really is a positive side to the story: less foreign oil, greater stability of supply and more domestic jobs, among other benefits.

Rather than trying to ban oil by rail, let’s all work together to make certain that essential public and environmental protection procedures are in place to do it safely.

Teenagers who don’t go to college also matter

I

t shouldn’t be this way, but the well-to-do tend to dominate public conversations in this country. The result has been a national preoccupation with the comfort, safety and psychological health of children like theirs — that is, children who go to college.

Thus, the students’ problems get customized attention. Government asks: How can we protect women on campus from sexual assault? How can we stop students who drink too much or are “underage”?

Much has been written about the “two Americas.” One of the sharper divides separates the college-bound from the rest.

It’s hard to believe that sexual predators roam more freely at the dorms than in society FROMA HARROP at large. Or that there’s more drunkenness around student hangouts than at working-class bars.

What’s striking isn’t so much the worry over kids in college as the lack of similar concern over the other, usually less privileged, young people who don’t go to college. When their bad behavior spills over, police are called. But when students act likewise, their cases may go to college administrators and their teams of counselors.

Clearly, the blanket of protection thrown over 19-year-olds in college is not extended to 19-year-olds working full time at a Target checkout.

And they are in the majority. Most Americans (58 percent) do not obtain an associate or bachelor’s degree. And half the kids who do go to college commute from home.

But listen to who gets the attention in President Obama’s recent speech calling for more action on sexual violence at colleges: “We’ve been working on campus sexual assault for several years,” he said, “but the issue of violence against women is now in the news every day.”

And the news stories he referred to largely involved professional athletes, whose beating victims — women and children — have spent little, if any, time on a campus. Strange that a kind of violence directed at all groups of women has brought forth initiatives to benefit the generally more fortunate.

Earlier this year, the administration focused a task force on the issue of sexual assaults on campus. It urged the institutions to toughen their policies, encourage women to report sexual violence and protect the women’s identities. It threatened fines against colleges that do not comply.

And it set up a website just for those in higher education, NotAlone.gov.

Rape and other sexual violence are serious crimes. They belong in the criminal justice system. But many students want their cases overseen by the supposedly softer hand of college administrators — often to avoid ruining the life of the alleged assailant, who may have been a friend.

In effect, college women are offered two justice systems to choose from. Non-students have one.

As for drinking problems, the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism has also tailored its services for the academic crowd. Its task force recommended, among other things, programs to help students moderate their drinking and limiting the number of liquor stores near colleges. And it set up a special website, CollegeDrinkingPrevention.gov.

The task force did ask, “Why target college student drinking?” And it offered reasons: Students die or are injured in alcohol-related accidents. Millions of them drive under the influence, and large numbers are assaulted by other drunken students.

How does that drinking experience differ from the noncollegiate drinking experience? The abuses and attendant problems sound exactly the same, so why not treat college students like everyone else — and like the adults they’re supposed to be?

We all know why. The powers value the well-being of college kids more highly than that of their working-class cohorts.

Of course, it’s not fair.

Sewage could be tested for pot Testing would be a way for Spokane to determine the best way to maximize revenue while ensuring public safety.

Associated Press SPOKANE — The author of Washington’s recreational pot law has suggested that Spokane test its sewage for traces of the cannabis chemical THC as a general measure of pot use by residents.

American Civil Liberties Union lawyer Alison Holcomb proposed the idea at a Tuesday

meeting of the Spokane City Council’s marijuana policy subcommittee, The SpokesmanReview reported.

Testing sewage for the psychoactive element from marijuana provides a more accurate level of trends than self-reporting on surveys, Holcomb said, citing research at the University of Washington and the University

of Puget Sound.

“Nobody can lie about what’s showing up in the sewage,” she said.

The meeting included representatives of schools, law enforcement agencies, nonprofits and local government to discuss what information needs to be collected as policymakers look to maximize marijuana revenue while ensuring public safety.

Testing sewage, which can be frozen for later inspection, would provide only general use

figures, not data broken down by age, said Holcomb.

Councilman Jon Snyder supported the idea.

“What an awesome new use for our sewage,” he said to laughter from those at the meeting.

Spokane wastewater director Dale Arnold said he would check with a lab this week to find out how difficult it is to get THC readings from wastewater.

“A large portion of that wastewater doesn’t come out of human beings,” Arnold said.

Man shot in Pioneer Square SEATTLE— Police say a man shot in Seattle’s Pioneer Square suffered a life-threatening wound.

Witnesses heard three or four shots about 10:40 a.m. Wednesday at Second and Yesler and saw the victim collapse as two suspects in hooded sweatshirts ran away.

Medics took the victim to Harborview Medical Center.

One bullet hit the historic Smith Tower, but no one there was hurt.

New Amazon office to be warmed by Internet A new Amazon.com office building under construction in Seattle will be warmed by the Internet, in a sense.

Heated water from the cooling system at a data center in another downtown building will be piped through Amazon offices and then recycled.

The Seattle Daily Journal of Commerce reported the system is being constructed by Eco District LLC, a partnership of Clise Properties, which owns the building with the data center, and mechanical contractor McKinstry, which is designing the water heat transfer system.

Rain a reminder summer’s over

By Doug Esser Associated Press

SEATTLE — The first fall rainstorm in Western Washington kept gutters running overnight, slickened roads, revived lawns and reminded residents the warm, dry summer is over.

In the 24 hours ending at 6 a.m. Wednesday, the National Weather Service reported 0.98 inch of rain at Sea-Tac Airport, 1.13 inches at Olympia and 0.60 at Everett. One spotter near Gig Harbor reported 1.97 inches.

National Weather Service

meteorologist Allen Kam in Seattle called it a “normal fall storm.”

Still, rain caused a roof collapse in downtown Seattle. The rush-hour drive from Everett to Seattle or Bellevue doubled to more than two hours, peaking at 140 minutes around 8 a.m., Transportation Department spokesman Mike Allende said.

“It’s been a mess,” Allende said. “We’ve seen several spinouts and collisions — nothing too major, but they add up.”

It also was the first day of classes at the University

of Washington and Seattle University.

Allende reminded drivers to be cautious when roads are wet.

“We had a really nice summer. People may have gotten too comfortable,” he said.

In downtown Seattle, rain caused a roof collapse at a children’s clothing store, and more damage was caused when a sprinkler pipe broke, KOMO reported.

The storm was still moving into Eastern Washington, where Spokane was just starting to get wet Wednesday morning with

only 0.02 inches recorded in the past 24 hours. But the Weather Service expected one-half to an inch of rain from the storm east of the Cascades, which could cause some small stream flooding or mudflows off areas scarred by wildfires.

Forecasters expected clearing by the end of the week with a drier, warmer weekend.

In fact, the outlook for the Pacific Northwest for the next three months is for belownormal precipitation and above-normal temperatures, Kam said.

‘Salmon cannon’ sends fish down the tubes

By Eric Florip The Columbian

WASHOUGAL — It’s known as the “salmon cannon,” but Vincent Bryan III has another way of describing the latest technology being used to move migratory fish in Washington.

“It’s like a Slip’N Slide going uphill,” said Bryan, CEO of Bellevue-based Whooshh Innovations, which developed the device.

The Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife recently purchased Whooshh’s Fish Transport System and deployed it on the Washougal River in east Clark County last month.

The department uses the device to load fish into trucks for its hatchery program, including hundreds of tule fall chinook salmon on Tuesday.

The salmon cannon uses a vacuum-like tube to move fish from one end of the system to the other. Generator-powered pressure differentials pull fish through a flexible conduit that creates a seal around the object inside of it. WDFW workers

STEVEN LANE / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife scientific technician Chris Golden inserts a tule chinook salmon into a vacuum-powered transport system Tuesday on the Washougal River.

loaded fish into the 120-footlong tube by hand, but the device can also be set up so fish swim through on their own, Bryan said. The system uses only enough water to keep the tube slick and smooth.

“It’s not a column of water,” said Todd Deligan, Whooshh’s vice president. “It’s a wet column of air.”

Though it’s called a cannon, fish don’t exactly shoot out the other end. The Washougal setup puts the salmon immediately into a truck waiting at the top of a hill. The process is “much easier” on fish than the old method that involved totes and forklifts and a lot more time, said Eric Kinne, hatchery reform coordinator with WDFW.

A single salmon travels through the 120-foot tube in only four to six seconds. An audible flapflapflapflap follows each fish as it speeds by, swinging its tail in a swimming motion. If a fish slows or stops in the tube, workers can feed in a cylinder-shaped sponge — or another fish — to give it a boost from behind.

“It’s definitely much more efficient,” said Elise Olk, a WDFW scientific technician who helped with the operation Tuesday. “It’s less handling for the fish, too.”

State officials are collecting fish at a weir dam installed on the Washougal River about three years ago, Kinne said. The idea is to better control the number of hatchery fish that use the natural spawning grounds upstream of the site, he said. The salmon collected there recently were transported by truck to a nearby hatchery.

The Washougal system, which the state purchased for $150,000 earlier this year, is one of only two such devices in use in Washington. The other is part of a Yakama Nation project in central Washington, Bryan said.

Burlington Northern Santa Fe is paying for 142 Washington firefighters to receive training in Pueblo, Colorado, in oil train accidents.

The Seattle Times reported that the classes began in July and will continue through the end of the year.

Spokesman Gus Melonas said the railway also is providing hazmat training for 800 Washington first responders through the end of the year.

As many as 19 crude oil trains from North Dakota move through Washington in a single week.

Longview: Trench digger injured A Cowlitz County sheriff ’s officer says a Longview-area man was seriously injured when he struck an underground power line as he dug a trench.

Deputy Dave Handy said a neighbor watching a security camera saw a flash of light Monday night and went outside to find Robert Gilcher, 51, lying across the line. The neighbor pulled the man off the line, getting shocked himself as he did so.

The Daily News of Longview reported that the deputy said Gilcher was conscious and breathing when an ambulance took him to a hospital. The neighbor declined medical assistance.

Gilcher was working on a water main outside the apartment complex where he lives.

Yakima: NRA makes surprise endorsement In a somewhat surprising move, The National Rifle Association has endorsed Republican Dan Newhouse for central Washington’s U.S. House seat.

The other candidate, fellow Republican Clint Didier, has made support for gun rights a central theme of his campaign.

Both candidates are seeking to replace U.S. Rep. Doc Hastings, who is retiring.

Newhouse, a mainstream Republican, said he is pleased to receive Wednesday’s endorsement from the NRA, which is the nation’s pre-eminent gun group.

Didier, from the tea party branch of the GOP, has attempted to attack Newhouse for not making the issue of gun rights a higher priority in his campaign.

Didier raffled off three firearms during the primary to promote his support of the Second Amendment.

Teen calls cops on own party Associated Press PUYALLUP — Police say a Puyallup teen who thought it was a great idea to throw a party when his parents took a trip out of town wound up calling police on his own party after drunken teens broke down his back fence and “stampeded across a neighbor’s yard.”

KOMO-TV reported that police arrested 27 people for possession of alcohol at last weekend’s bash.

Several dozen others were allowed to leave because they were over 21 or had not been drinking.

Police said the 16-yearold host got scared when the guests started destroying his parents’ property and getting into fights.

When officers from Pierce County’s multiagency Party Intervention Patrol arrived just after midnight Saturday, they found about 70 young people.

Prosecutors sid the house was littered with beer and liquor bottles and the home “had a strong odor of marijuana.”

Bonney Lake Police Sgt. Rob Hoag supervised the patrol.

He said social media makes it easy to turn a simple house party into chaos.

Emergency crews work at the scene of a multiple-car crash, just south of the Portland Road overpass, in the southbound lanes of I-5 on Wednesday morning in Salem.

Crash kills commissioner’s husband

By Steven DuBois Associated Press

PORTLAND — The husband of Portland City Commissioner Amanda Fritz died Wednesday in a multi-vehicle wreck on I-5 in Salem.

The Oregon Department of Transportation said the crash occurred shortly before 8 a.m., a time when drivers are commuting to

state government jobs.

Dana Haynes, the spokesman for Portland Mayor Charlie Hales, confirmed that Dr. Steven Fritz died in the crash. Fritz, 54, was a psychiatrist at the Oregon State Hospital.

The City Council meeting scheduled for Wednesday was canceled.

“My heart goes out to Commissioner Amanda Fritz and her family,” Gov.

John Kitzhaber said in a statement. “Her husband Dr. Steve Fritz dedicated himself to the service of those in need.”

Oregon State Police Lt. Gregg Hastings said it was raining hard when a small pickup traveling northbound collided with a commercial vehicle.

The pickup then crossed the grass median into the southbound lane, where

it collided with a zebrastriped 1993 Nissan Sentra driven by Fritz.

Two other southbound vehicles got caught in the crash, Hastings said.

Fritz died at the scene and a 64-year-old passenger in his car was taken to Salem Hospital with critical injuries. Her name has yet to be released.

The driver of the pickup and two people in another

vehicle were also taken to a hospital.

Hastings said investigators are still trying to determine what caused the pickup to collide with the commercial vehicle.

The crash brought traffic to a halt during the morning commute, but all lanes were reopened by 11 a.m.

Amanda Fritz was elected in 2008.

Happy Birthday: Pick up the slack and refuse to let laziness take over. Change will happen regardless of what you do; however, staying in control will help you manipulate the situations you face. You have a choice this year: You can be a participant or you can let others make decisions for you. Your numbers are 1, 9, 14, 20, 27, 33, 46.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Take one step at a time and keep your emotions in check. You can accomplish a lot if you concentrate on what’s important and don’t allow anyone to distract you. ��� TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Focus on self-improvement. Do something to help a cause you feel strongly about. Taking an authoritative approach will work as long as you don’t force your will on others or try to do the impossible. ��� GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Channel your energy wisely. If you aren’t direct, you may mislead someone who will expect more than what you are prepared to deliver. Take care of your health by sticking to a nutritional diet. ����� CANCER (June 21-July 22): Review all the events and situations unfolding around you. You are best to refrain from offering your opinions or your services until you feel you have a better handle on what’s happening. �� LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Take it upon yourself to make a direct connection to someone who can help you reach your goals.

High energy, effort and a charismatic approach to whatever you do will draw a crowd and ensure that you reach your des-

Tips solve overager logjam Jones odd man out, traded to Lethbridge for 2015 draft pick

By Rich Myhre

By Nick Patterson

Herald Writer

Herald Writer

In the fall of 2011, his senior season at Everett’s Archbishop Murphy High School, Sam Shober was unsure where he would play college football.

He was unsure if he would even play college football.

Shober was a good high school linebacker, but not quite a bluechip prospect. Compared to other elite recruits that year, and particularly those at his position, he was thought to be too small and too slow.

Some schools made early contact, including the nearby University of Washington, Sam Shober: but later on the “I didn’t have letters and phone a Division I calls pretty much scholarship stopped. offer anyAs the recruiting where,” which season reached was “definitely disheartening.” its peak, “I didn’t have a Division I scholarship offer anywhere,” Shober said. “I had some interest from a few D-IIs and D-IIIs, but I only had one scholarship offer and that was from a D-II school in Canada. St. Francis, I think.

It was, he said, “definitely disheartening. I even talked to my parents and said, ‘Maybe I won’t play anymore.’”

But in football, some personal attributes cannot be measured by a tape measure or stopwatch.

Confidence, for one. Likewise determination, passion and an absolute longing to excel. For Shober, those qualities — and, no less, his love of football — led him to walk on at Stanford University, where he has emerged as a backup linebacker and special teams regular for the 16th-ranked Cardinal.

EVERETT — When the Everett Silvertips found out defenseman Ben Betker was headed back to the team, they wasted little time sorting out their overager situation.

Everett solved its overage logjam Wednesday by dealing winger Zane Jones to Lethbridge in exchange for a fourth-round pick in the 2015 bantam draft.

Everett had four 20-year-olds vying for just three overage roster spots: Betker, Jones and forwards Kohl Bauml and Brayden Low. Betker had been attending training camp with the NHL’s Edmonton Zane Jones Oilers and had an “I had a really outside chance of good time earning a profes- (in Everett), I sional contract learned a lot.” and playing the season in the American Hockey League, which would have settled the issue for the Tips.

However, the Oilers reassigned Betker to Everett on Tuesday and Tips general manager Garry Davidson acted swiftly to get Everett down to the limit of three overagers. No. 1 goaltender Austin Lotz was also reassigned to the Tips on Tuesday following his free-agent tryout with the NHL’s Vancouver Canucks “With Ben Betker being sent back (Tuesday), that gave us one too many overagers,” said Davidson, who could have waited until the overager cutdown deadline of Oct. 15. “We certainly had a very good understanding of who each of the four guys were. It wasn’t an easy decision, but we knew what we were dealing with and we didn’t need to watch them in any more games.

Sounders lose 3-1, need to be ‘a little bit tougher,’ coach says

By Don Ruiz The News Tribune

FRISCO, Texas — The Seattle Sounders ended their 12-day road trip with back-to-back losses. After their 3-1 defeat at FC Dallas on Wednesday, and with the playoffs coming on fast, coach Sigi Schmid had some advice for his team.

“We have to be a little bit tougher, a little meaner, maybe

a little dirtier at times,” he said.

“I don’t think we were tough enough at times. That’s something that we have to address with ourselves. We’re expecting the calls, and the referees are just really letting the game go now.”

The Sounders (17-9-3) were unable to get anything from the final game in hand they held over Los Angeles in the race for the Supporters Shield and the Western Conference championship.

INSIDE: Outdoor Outlook, C2

Now they face a race to the finish tied at 54 points each, with both teams having five games remaining — two against each other.

“Everything is still in our own hands,” Schmid said. “If we win our home games we put ourselves in a very good situation.

We’ve got three home games still left out of five, and the first one is Saturday (against Chivas USA) and we have to be ready to win that one.”

At Toyota Stadium, the Sounders continued a recent trend of falling behind early, this time in the eighth minute.

The play began with a throwin that was knocked around the corner of the penalty area before Andres Escobar headed it to David Texeira, who spun past defender Chad Marshall and finished low and hard into the far-side netting.

Falling behind seemed to

awaken Seattle’s offense, which was regularly dangerous for the rest of the half, but couldn’t get anything on the scoreboard.

The Sounders broke through in the 58th minute, when Lamar Neagle connected from about 30 yards. He had been sent into the game about a minute earlier.

“Amazing strike by Lamar once again,” captain Brad Evans said.

f the only fish you catch are small fish, this was your year to enter the Everett Coho Derby.

Most everyone knew going in that the coho arriving in local waters this month were not as large as usual, and the derby served to prove the fact.

The winner was caught by Gary Hamlin and weighed just a shade under 12 pounds. That’s a nice silver to be sure, and any salmon worth $10,000 does not need to be Moby Coho. Still, last year’s winner weighed 15.5 pounds; in 2012 it was 17.28 pounds; and in 2011, 16.55 pounds.

“Overall, I’d rate the fishing as below average, and the size of the fish substantially smaller than in past derbies,” event coordinator Mark Spada said.

Everett Steelhead and Salmon Club member Jim Brauch said last year it took at least a 9-pound fish to win a prize, while this year prizes were still being awarded for coho in the 5-pound range. There were 34 fish weighed last year over 12 pounds, he said.

Second place and $5,000 went to Matthew Thoura at 11.82 pounds; third and $2,500 to Lillie Ludwig at 11.63 pounds; fourth to Rusty Breedlove at 11.10 pounds; and fifth to Nevin Booth, at 10.48 pounds, worth $500. The event sold 1,940 adult tickets, and had 253 youth entries, putting more than 2,000 anglers on the water for the event. Adults weighed in a total of 766 fish, and youth, 105 fish. Samantha Bratton won the youth division and $300 for a coho of 8.34 pounds.

Two boats were awarded at

In my opinion, autumn is the time to be in the Columbia Basin, when temperatures are dropping, the bugs have moved along, or whatever bugs do, and combination fishing/hunting trips are on the agenda.

One of the best places to be in the Basin this time of year is Jameson Lake in Douglas County, so far away from the bright lights that you can still get a sense of frontier fishing. The big lake opens in the spring, closes for the summer, then traditionally reopens for the month of October — and that’s prime time to troll a black fly for

the Everett Coho Derby by drawing, sponsored by the Northwest Marine Trade Association’s Salmon Derby Series. Joel Clark of Monroe won the adult boat, worth about $65,000, and Jackson Girard won the youth boat package. Another substantial prize, an Alaskan fishing trip, was won by Kane Ayling.

Brauch said the word going around was that Hamlin nailed his derby winner off Humpy Hollow, trolling south from Mukilteo, using an Ace Hi fly.

“Probably 60 percent of the entries were caught on that lure,” Brauch said. “The rest were pretty evenly divided between plug-cut herring, spoons, and green spatterback hoochies.”

Brauch said not as many entries were caught in local rivers as there were the past couple of years, leading him to believe the bulk of the run hasn’t hit freshwater yet. In the salt, he said, fish were scattered all over the board. A lot of coho came from the west side of Possession Bar, toward the shipping channel, but also many from the traditional spots such as the shipwreck, Brown’s Bay, Edmonds and others.

Methow River The substantial rain this week could have put the popular Methow River out of fishing shape, particularly with the bare watershed created by this summer’s wildfires, but to this

rainbow running from 12 inches to 4 or 5 pounds.

Jack’s Resort, on the south end of the lake, boasts a restaurant, store, full hookups, two rental cabins, campsites and rental boats. Jim Brauch, a member of the Everett Steelhead and Salmon Club who makes at least one trip a year to Jameson, says the food there is worth the trip, all by itself.

For more information, call the resort at 509-683-1095. Co-owner Ginger Merritt said they’re happy to field calls about fishing conditions.

point trout fishermen have been doing well.

The river is open to catch and release fishing, selective gear, from Gold Creek upstream to Foghorn Dam — about 15 miles of fishing water. Most anglers have been looking for big cutthroat, up to 18 or 19 inches, and most have been fly fishermen, using surface or just sub-surface flies, state fish and wildlife department Okanogan-area biologist Ryan Fortier said, A lot of Methow regulars, Fortier said, also are waiting for the steelhead fishery to open, and for some word on how the run is shaping up. The river closes Sept. 30, then reopens for the steelhead season in mid-October.

“This year’s steelhead run is supposed to be a pretty good one,” Fortier said, “maybe 85 or 90 percent of last year’s and the 2013 fishery was productive. We were able to schedule a good, full season of fishing.”

He said in another week or so he’ll have a pretty good idea of how many steelhead he’ll be dealing with this fall and winter.

Hanford Reach The fall chinook fishery on the Hanford Reach portion of the central Columbia River is picking up steam, according to state biologist Joe Hymer in Vancouver. Both harvest and effort increased last week, with anglers working on a record or near-record run of autumn kings in the big river.

Hymer said chinook counts at Bonneville Dam have been holding steady at 20,000 adult fish per day, and that an in-season run update completed this week said the Hanford Reach return appears to be meeting the forecast of around 200,000 fish.

State personnel interviewed 2,429 anglers on 1,834 boats last week, and said the average catch was running about a king and a half per boat.

Some 182 bank fishermen at Ringold were also contacted, with 17 chinook and a scattering of coho.

Yakima River Fall chinook fishing on the Yakima remains slow, but should pick up over the next couple of weeks as more fish enter the river. Hymer said 120 anglers were checked last week with seven adult chinook and two jacks. Daily chinook counts at the Prosser Diversion are still running below 100 fish, he said.

Huskies’ Pettis a big-play threat on punt returns

By Christian Caple The News Tribune

SEATTLE — Four players combined to return a total of 15 punts for the Washington Huskies in 2013. None of them went very far.

Marvin Hall and Kasen Williams tied for the team lead with five returns — not counting fair catches and downed kicks — and they combined to run just 56 yards after catching the ball (47 of those were from Hall, the team leader, thanks in part to a team-best 18-yard return against California).

John Ross tried it, too, returning four punts a total of 21 yards.

And this year, junior receiver Jaydon Mickens won the job for UW’s opener at Hawaii, only to muff a catch and struggle to field the ball against a knuckle-ball-style punter.

So the recent emergence of freshman receiver Dante Pettis as a legitimate punt-return threat appears to have given the Huskies something they haven’t had since at least 2003, the year Charles

Shober From Page C1

On Saturday afternoon, Shober will be in Husky Stadium for a pivotal Pacific-12 Conference game between Stanford and Washington.

“I was a Husky fan as a kid and I loved going to Husky games,” said Shober, who lives in Monroe. “So coming back and being in that stadium, it’s going to be surreal.”

In the summer before his senior year at Archbishop Murphy, Shober and his father traveled to recruiting camps at various schools around the country. They attended one at Washington and others on the East Coast, and they went to Stanford for a three-day camp.

Unlike the others he attended, the Stanford camp included pads and contact.

“I did my best and I think I played pretty well,” Shober said.

And because the workouts were

Frederick returned a punt 86 yards for a touchdown against Oregon State. No UW player has done it since. In other words: the last time the Huskies returned a punt for a touchdown, Keith Gilbertson was their coach and Pettis was in second grade.

And while that mark still stands, the Huskies appear more dangerous at that position now than they have at any point in the last decade. Pettis, a 6-foot, 177-pound receiver from Junipero Serra (California) High School, is one of eight true freshmen to play for the Huskies this season through four games. His playing time at receiver has been limited, but Pettis has made significant contributions as a punt returner, taking four kicks last week a total of 98 yards against Georgia State.

That performance alone topped UW’s entire 2013 output by 25 yards, and it brings Pettis’ season totals to nine returns for 149 yards. No other Pac-12 player has more punt-return yards so far this

season, and only Utah’s Kaelin Clay is averaging more yards per return. And Pettis’ 149 return yards are already more than any Huskies player has totaled in a single season since Anthony Russo tallied 222 in 2007. (UW’s single-season record is 593 yards on 38 returns, set by Beno Bryant in 1990).

Pettis’ returns were especially important last week. The first, which came with UW trailing 14-0 in the third quarter and covered 35 yards, set up Washington’s first touchdown. Two other returns led to scores, too, Pettis providing the spark the Huskies so badly needed after an awful first half.

“If you win at the line in that phase, that’s where the explosive returns come,” said Jeff Choate, the team’s special-teams coordinator.

“They don’t come by guys fitting guys up downfield. It’s by guys creating the cushion at the line of scrimmage that develops as the play progresses. I think our guys on the hold-ups did a great job giving him room, he did a good job

making decisions, putting his foot in the ground, getting vertical and the seams were there.

“Got tackled a couple times, and I’m sure he would have liked to get in the end zone. There’s no question that made a huge difference in the game.”

Of course, substantial punt returns in college football are predicated on the punting team actually kicking it to the returner, which is becoming less prevalent as more teams shift to rugby-style kicks out of multiple formations and with multiple “gunners” releasing in pursuit of the returner.

That isn’t allowed in the NFL, which has rules prohibiting ineligible receivers from crossing the line of scrimmage prior to the ball being kicked.

And as UW transitions into the Pac-12 portion of its schedule — No. 16 Stanford visits Husky Stadium on Saturday — it becomes less likely that Pettis will get the same opportunities to put together lengthy returns.

filmed, the Cardinal coaching staff “had tape of me. I think that was the most impressive thing for them and it helped me a ton.”

The Stanford camp “was really when he got on our radar,” said Cardinal defensive coordinator Lance Anderson, who also coaches the team’s outside linebackers. “He made a really nice impression and after that we tried to stay in touch. When we found out that walking on was something he had interest in, we were very excited to get him in our program.”

The 6-foot-3, 227-pound Shober redshirted in the 2012 season and played in just one game a year ago. But this season he is on both the kickoff coverage and kickoff return teams, and he has played linebacker in games against California-Davis and Army.

“He’s worked real hard since he’s been here and that’s what’s helped him earn a role,” Anderson said. “He’s a pretty athletic kid for his size, he runs well and he’s physically strong, and those things benefit him on (the

kickoff) teams.

“But I still think he has even more in him. As he gets stronger and learns to use his hands even better and to be even more physical at the point of attack, and with his ability to run, he could earn even more playing time on the defensive side of the ball. So I’m excited to see his progress.”

In the coming years, Shober wants “to get as much out of this program as I can.” He would also like to play professionally, and “if that opportunity arises it would be amazing, though I’m also realistic about my chances,” he said.

But if the NFL dream fails to pan out, Shober has a pretty good backup plan. A human biology major, he wants to attend medical school someday with the goal of becoming a doctor either in family practice or some medical specialty.

Schoolwork, then, is important. And at Stanford, unlike some elite college football programs, there are no classroom shortcuts for athletes.

“I was very well prepared for

a college academic experience coming out of high school,” he said. “But in terms of going to (football) practice and then coming back and getting my homework done, that’s something that’s very hard to prepare for. It was incredibly difficult my freshman year.

“As a student-athlete, you have really limited time each day and you have to make each hour count. You always have to be on top of your studies, and it’s very challenging to say the least. You can’t fall behind, especially during the season which is a really challenging time of year.”

But even with Stanford’s intense academic demands, Shober is still overjoyed by how the last few years of his life have unfolded. For a young man who once wondered if he would play college football, he has become an important contributor on one of the nation’s premier teams.

“I’m incredibly happy with what’s happened,” he said. “And I’m definitely grateful for the way that everything has worked out for me.”

Stewart will not face charges

PREP SPORTS | Game of the Day

Associated Press CANANDAIGUA, N.Y. — After more than six weeks in limbo, NASCAR star Tony Stewart finally got the news he had been hoping for.

A grand jury that heard testimony from more than two dozen witnesses, including accident reconstruction experts and drivers, and looked at photographs and video decided against bringing criminal charges against Stewart for the death of 20-year-old sprint car driver Kevin Ward Jr. during an Aug. 9 race.

That doesn’t mean it’s over.

A few hours after Ontario County District Attorney Michael Tantillo announced the grand jury’s decision in this upstate New York hamlet, the Ward family indicated in a statement read over the telephone by sister Kayla Herring that they will seek civil damages in the young driver’s death.

“Our son got out of his car during caution when the race was suspended.

All the other vehicles were reducing speed and not accelerating except for Stewart, who intentionally tried to intimidate Kevin by accelerating and sliding his car toward him, causing the tragedy,” the family said Wednesday.

Stanwood’s Haley Strowbridge spikes the ball as Mountlake Terrace’s Emily Eich tries to block during Wednesday’s match. Stanwood won 3-0.

Stanwood sweeps Terrace MOUNTLAKE TERRACE — The Stanwood volleyball team took to the road and earned its first Wesco 3A victory with a 3-0 sweep over Mountlake Terrace Wednesday night.

The Spartans won a highly contested first set 28-26 and used the momentum to take the next two sets, 25-13, 25-21, and improve to 3-2 overall and 1-2 in league play.

“We were still searching for a league win so to get a first set on the road against somebody who has been playing pretty well is a big deal,” Stanwood head

coach Erik Titus said.

Using their momentum from the first set victory, the Spartans took an early 9-2 lead in the second set and never looked back on way to a 25-13 victory.

Once again in the third set a strong start boosted the Spartans to a 13-3 lead.

Mountlake Terrace fought back but ultimately didn’t have enough, as Stanwood won the final set 25-21.

Krista Titus and Macaela Hansen led a balanced Stanwood attack, finishing with 16 and 13 digs respectively.

“It was a total team effort,” Titus said. “We didn’t have anyone

outstanding in one area, but we really spread the wealth. ... We played really well. I was pleased.”

Hansen also finished with six of the Spartans 14 service aces on the night, a key to Stanwood’s offensive attack, according to Titus.

“That’s probably every coaches first weapon,” Titus said. “A good serve can throw a team out of system and you can score off their mistakes.”

Ali Hitchcock finished with 19 digs and Alisha Clingan tallied seven kills for the Hawks, who fell to 1-4 overall and 1-2 in league play.

“And I think that Clint was able to pick up the ball at the midfield and create and push forward. We had a number of chances.

Personally, if I’m on top of the box I’ve got to pull the trigger instead of being too cute around the box.

That’s something we’ll take into the next week.”

Dallas broke the deadlock on Texeira’s second goal of the night. He ran free on the left side to sweep in a ball Andres Escobar had sent across the goalmouth.

Blas Perez knocked in the insurance goal in the 88th minute.

Dallas improved to 14-10-6 while recording its seventh consecutive victory at home.

The result combined with a 4-1 loss at New York on Saturday to leave the Sounders having surrendered seven goals over two games.

The defense also took a hit in the 33rd minute, when Zach Scott was involved in a leaping collision at midfield. He was helped off the pitch with an ankle injury and replaced by Djimi Traore.

“The (ankle) is locked up, so we don’t know if there’s something broken or it’s just jammed up,” Schmid said. “We don’t know. He got knocked when he was in the air and came off balance and jammed

“The focus should be on the actions of Mr. Stewart. This matter is not at rest and we will pursue all remedies in fairness to Kevin.”

The family might have a difficult task: Tantillo disclosed that Ward was under the influence of marijuana the night he died and said two different videos were enhanced, frames were isolated and viewed at at least three different speeds and finally overlaid with grids and data.

Both showed Stewart had done nothing wrong.

“The videos did not demonstrate any aberrational driving by Tony Stewart until the point of impact with Kevin Ward, at which point his vehicle veered to the right up the track as a result of the collision. Prior to that, his course was pretty straight,” said Tantillo.

He added that toxicology evidence from Ward’s autopsy “indicates that at the time of operation he was under the influence of marijuana. The levels determined were enough to impair judgment.”

Stewart’s reaction was not one of celebration, and his statement had the same twinge of sadness that he’s carried since he returned to NASCAR three weeks ago following three weeks of seclusion after

Ward’s death.

The 43-year-old NASCAR superstar acknowledged the investigation was “long and emotionally difficult” but noted it allowed time for all the facts to be presented.

“This has been the toughest and most emotional experience of my life, and it will stay with me forever. I’m very grateful for all the support I’ve received and continue to receive,” he said. “While much of the attention has been on me, it’s important to remember a young man lost his life. Kevin Ward Jr.’s family and friends will always be in my thoughts and prayers.”

David Weinstein, a former state and federal prosecutor in Miami who is not involved in the case, said the toxicology evidence will make it difficult for the Wards to win a lawsuit against Stewart. He said the Ward statement showed the family was “clearly upset and at a vulnerable point.”

“Hopefully, someone will explain to them that Kevin will be dragged through the mud during a civil trial,” he said.

“After the results of the toxicology report and the findings of the grand jury, the deep pockets will not be willing to settle this lawsuit so quickly.”

his ankle on the way down.”

The Sounders don’t have much time to get things right. The club flies home Thursday and practices Friday before returning to league play Saturday afternoon.

“When you play five games in 16 days you can’t really train,” Schmid said.

“You can talk about a lot of things, but you can’t

really train on things. …

We’ll work on it; but also, it’s attitude. And our mentality has to be good, our attitude has to be right.

Guys have to be here in the moment … they’ve got to be focused on what we need to do. I’m confident in the group. We have a good group, and we know that we can play better soccer than we did tonight.”

“(Tuesday) I put Zane’s name out there and got some interest.

We knew we were keeping Ben as a defenseman, therefore it came down to two of the three forwards and Zane came up short in the deal.”

Jones had a brief stay with the Tips. The 6-foot-3, 210-pound native of Olds, Alberta, was acquired at last season’s trade deadline to give Everett some added bulk and goal scoring up front. However, he suffered a shoulder injury shortly after arriving and appeared in just 11 games

for the Tips last season, registering two goals and two assists.

Jones came to Everett’s training camp in great shape after slimming down during the offseason.

He played in the Tips’ seasonopening 1-0 victory at Seattle without scoring.

Lethbridge will be Jones’ fourth WHL franchise, following stints with Everett, Calgary and Victoria.

“Ben got reassigned back to Everett, so I knew me or Bauml or Low had to go,” Jones said. “I’m just appreciative they found a spot for me to play as a 20 where I can have a good, strong season and hopefully sign a (professional) contract down the road.

“I had a really good time (in Everett), I learned a lot,” Jones

added. “Last year injuries set me back. But I met a lot of great people and made some lifelong friends. All-in-all it was a great learning experience.”

Said Davidson: “It was a little unfortunate because Zane’s a rugged guy who’s usually played a lot of games, but last year he came to us and had the shoulder situation.

But in the offseason he worked extremely hard and came to camp in the best shape he’s ever been in. He didn’t play a lot for us, but we saw enough to be comfortable in our assessment. There was no need to prolong this, a decision needed to be made and we felt it was better to pull the trigger now rather than later.”

be Betker, Bauml and Low. The towering Betker had seven goals, 14 assists and a team-leading 102 penalty minutes last season, and the sixth-round NHL draft pick in 2013 will be the linchpin of Everett’s defense. The diminutive Bauml, who’s the tenured member of the team as he heads into his fourth season with the Tips, had 14 goals and 14 assists last season. Low, a valuable penalty killer, had eight goals and 12 assists last season.

“I feel very comfortable with them,” Davidson said about his overager group. “All three are very hard-working Silvertips. All have contributed nicely in the past and we anticipate they will going forward as well. All of them know what’s expected of them on and

Wilhelmsen to start against Blue Jays today

TODAY’S GAME

Seattle at Toronto, 1:07 p.m.

TV: ROOT (cable) Radio: KIRO (710 AM) Probable starting pitchers: Seattle right-hander Tom Wilhelmsen (3-2, 2.10 ERA) vs. left-hander Daniel Norris (0-0, 5.40).

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

TORONTO — Long reliever Tom Wilhelmsen plans to take his usual bullpen mind-set into his spot start Thursday in the Seattle Mariners’ road finale against the Toronto Blue Jays at the Rogers Centre.

“Pretty much,” he said. “I don’t know anything different. Try to get strike one. I mean, it’s clearly different, but I’m not expected to go seven innings. I’m going to do what I did the last start. I felt fine after it.

“Hopefully, we can sneak a win in.”

Manager Lloyd McClendon opted for Wilhelmsen, who made one previous spot start just prior to the All-Star break, rather than send a struggling Chris Young back to the mound.

Young is 12-9 overall with a 3.65 ERA but is 0-3 and has allowed 19 runs and 27 hits over 181⁄3 innings in his last five starts.

McClendon confirmed Monday that Young wouldn’t start but didn’t identify Wilhelmsen as the replacement until just prior to Wednesday’s batting practice.

Wilhelmsen hasn’t pitched longer than 11⁄3 innings, or faced more than six hitters, since a two-inning outing on Aug. 10 in a 4-2 victory over the White Sox at Safeco Field.

He hasn’t thrown more than 32 pitches in an appearance since July 18, when he threw 51 in four scoreless innings at Anaheim.

That came in his first outing after going 22⁄3 innings in a July 10 start against Minnesota.

“In a best-case scenario,” Wilhelmsen said, “I face these guys one-through-nine (for three innings). Then if I feel good for the fourth, maybe I can do onethrough-three again.”

McClendon previously mentioned the possibility of looking at Wilhelmsen as a starter for next year. Wilhelmsen said he hasn’t given that possibility any thought.

“Not yet,” he said. “We still have games here. That’s where my head and heart are right now.”

The Mariners’ Felix Hernandez, who allowed eight earned runs in 4 2/3 innings on Tuesday, is now second in the AL in earned run average. Hernandez’s ERA jumped from 2.07 to 2.34. The Whtie Sox’s Chris Sale leads the AL with a 2.17 ERA.

40 runs in 32 innings raises M’s team ERA

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

TORONTO — The Seattle Mariners’ recent implosion is threatening to cost them a chance to finish with the American League’s best earned-run average for only the second time in franchise history.

Entering Wednesday, the Mariners still held the AL lead at 3.23, but Oakland was a close second at 3.25. The Mariners had a 3.04 ERA before surrendering 40 runs in 32 innings over the previous four games.

The 2001 Mariners led the AL

with a 3.54 ERA at the height of the steroid era. Last year’s club ranked 13th among the 15 AL clubs with a 4.31 ERA. Felix Hernandez’s rocky start Tuesday, when he allowed eight earned runs in 42⁄3 innings will, barring something remarkably unexpected, prevent him from winning the AL ERA crown for the second time in his career.

That outing boosted Hernandez’s ERA from 2.07 to 2.34.

While that ranks second in the league, the new leader, Chicago lefty Chris Sale, stands at 2.17 after holding Detroit

to one run in six innings on Thursday in a no-decision.

Sale isn’t expected to pitch again this season.

Hernandez is slotted to start Sunday’s regular-season finale against the Angels, but he would need to pitch 18 innings without an earned run to move ahead of Sale (assuming Sale doesn’t pitch again).

A career-best is still possible for Hernandez, who posted a 2.27 ERA when he won the ERA crown in 2010. He can beat that by pitching 71⁄3 innings Sunday without allowing an earned run.

35 times nine Second baseman Robinson Cano entered Wednesday’s game with 36 doubles and is the only player to have at least 35 doubles in each of the last nine seasons.

That’s a rare feat.

Only three other players in Major League history have recorded nine straight seasons of 35-plus doubles.

Todd Helton set the record by doing it in 10 straight seasons from 19982007, and Bobby Abreu matched that by doing it from 1999-2008.

Hall of Famer Tris Speaker had nine straight seasons from 1919-27.

Matchups set The tentative pitching matchups are set for the Mariners’ weekend series against the Los Angeles Angels at Safeco Field, which marks the end of the regular season.

■ Friday: Right-hander Hisashi Iwakuma (14-9 with a 3.54 ERA) vs.

Angels right-hander Jered Weaver (18-8, 3.52) at 7:10 p.m.

■ Saturday: Left-hander James Paxton (6-4, 3.03) vs. Angels right-hander Cory Rasmus (3-1, 2.38) at 6:10 p.m.

■ Sunday: Right-hander Felix Hernandez (14-6, 2.34) vs. Angels lefthander C.J. Wilson (13-10, 4.61) at 1:10 p.m..

Short hops Outfielder James Jones turned 26 on Wednesday. ... Logan Morrison, prior to Wednesday’s game, was batting .329 this season (26-for-79) against left-handed pitchers. ... The Mariners played their 158th game Wednesday and started their 138th different lineup.

Looking back It was 22 years ago Thursday — Sept. 25, 1992 — that the Mariners and Rangers set a major league record by using 54 players in a 16-inning game at Texas.

The Mariners used a club-record 29 players, including 11 pitchers, and won the game 4-3 on Omar Vizquel’s two-out RBI single in the 16th against Dan Smith. Brian Fisher got the final three outs.

On tap The Mariners play their final regular-season road game Thursday. The Mariners will go with right-hander Tom Wilhelmsen (3-2 with a 2.10 ERA) because of Chris Young’s recent ineffectiveness. Toronto will start lefty Daniel Norris (0-0, 5.40) while Marcus Stroman serves his suspension.

Root Sports will televise the game.

McClendon said. “He’s got great touch and feel. He had the cutter going in. Good change-up, breaking ball.

Mixed it all.”

Even so, the Mariners put the tying run on base with no outs in the ninth inning and the top of their order coming up.

Aaron Sanchez extinguished that flickering promise when he replaced Buehrle after Taylor’s single by picking off pinch-runner James Jones.

“I should have been closer (to first base) on my lead,” Jones said, “instead of trying to take a chance there. He has a good move, quick feet, and he put the ball right where he wanted it.”

The Mariners challenged the call, but the replays showed first baseman Adam Lind applied the tag before Jones got back to the base. Sanchez then closed out the Mariners’ fifth straight loss.

And now, the Mariners’ postseason hopes hang by a thread; they trail Oakland and Kansas City by three games with four games remaining in the battle for the American League’s final wild-card berth.

This was, perhaps, the toughest loss of them all.

After a succession of four straight dreadful starts, the Mariners got a showcase effort from Walker who, while long viewed as their top prospect, is closing out a disappointing and injury-plagued season.

“In all of this,” McClendon said, “that’s one thing I don’t want to get lost. That young man threw a tremendous ballgame. He really stepped up. Did everything we asked him to do. He was outstanding …

CHRIS YOUNG / AP PHOTO/THE CANADIAN PRESS

Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager watches from the dugout during the ninth inning of Wednesday’s game against the Toronto Blue Jays.

“His last two outings have really given us a glimpse of the future … I said that with his last outing, I think he’s turned the corner. He’s starting to move in the right direction.”

Walker (2-3) gave up one run and four hits in eight innings.

He struck out six, walked one and threw 66 of his 99 pitches for strikes.

It just wasn’t good enough.

Disaster struck after the Mariners won a challenge to start the eighth inning. First-base umpire Doug Eddings ruled first baseman Kendrys Morales failed to tag Dalton Pompey on a bunt up the first-base line.

Replays showed Morales applied the tag, but the delay affected Walker because he then walked Kawasaki on four pitches before striking out Anthony Gose.

“I was a excited (by the result of the replay),” Walker admitted. “Probably a little amped

up. Probably a little too much.

Had a four-pitch walk to the next guy (Kawasaki), a guy I have to go right after.”

Goins worked the count full before flicking a drive into short center field — Walker termed it “a jam-shot blooper” — that dropped between three Mariners.

The ball then caromed high off the artificial turf, which permitted Kawasaki — who was running on the pitch — to score from first.

“It fell right in-between all of us,” center fielder Austin Jackson said. “It was a tough play for everybody. We’re playing no-doubles (deep) there to try to keep the runner on first from scoring. He hit a ball into a perfect spot.

“He swung, and you’re sprinting in as hard as you can to try to make a play on it. It was just hit in that perfect spot.”

Agonizingly perfect.

Tigers clinch postseason spot Associated Press DETROIT — The Detroit Tigers looked dormant with the bats until a pitch from Chicago’s Chris Sale hit Victor Martinez around the back of his left shoulder.

Then tempers flared, the benches and bullpens emptied — and Sale’s shutout didn’t last much longer.

Martinez came around to score the tying run in the sixth inning, and after Sale came out of the game, Chicago’s bullpen was no match for the Tigers. Detroit won 6-1 on Wednesday — and clinched a spot in the postseason when Seattle lost to Toronto.

The worst the Tigers can end up with now is a wild card.

Detroit is trying for its fourth straight AL Central crown, and the Tigers took a two-game lead over second-place Kansas City, which lost at Cleveland. Detroit’s magic number to clinch the division is three.

With one out in the sixth and Chicago up 1-0, Sale’s first pitch to Martinez hit the Detroit slugger. Martinez walked slowly to first, and the two started jawing at each other. Sale appeared to point out toward center field in agitated fashion as Martinez went to first.

“They were claiming that someone with binoculars in center field was giving signs to Victor,” Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said. “I think it’s a little weak that they would hit him. If they injure Victor there and we’re in the playoff hunt, that’s bad news.

That just can’t happen.

“He clearly did it on purpose.

He made it obvious.”

Sale didn’t accuse the Tigers of stealing signs afterward, and he said he wasn’t specifically gesturing toward center field.

“I was just throwing my arms up, like you do when you are upset,” the left-hander said. “I wasn’t really trying to control where they pointed.”

Sale appeared to tip his hat toward the outfield in the third inning after striking out Martinez.

“There was a fan that was just wearing me out in the bullpen before the game, telling me that I wasn’t any good, and telling me how much Victor was going to hit me,” Sale said. “So that was just having some fun with him.”

and his passer rating is up seven points over last year’s numbers — and all that while being under as much pass-rush pressure as anybody in the league.

Apparently, Wilson’s continued growth is news around the country, as USAToday this week labeled him “the best quarterback in the NFL today.”

That’s not “best young quarterback,” or “best quarterback under 6-feet.” It’s simply “best quarterback.”

Here’s why: He’s accurate, and reads coverages with such consistency that he rarely forces the ball into risky places unless game circumstances demand.

He runs when he has to move the chains, but has the sense to duck out of bounds or hit the deck when he’s about to get plastered. And he realizes that sometimes firing it into the first row of the stands is the absolute best outcome.

Wilson’s status has been boosted by the roster building of John Schneider and Pete Carroll, who insightfully went out and traded for Percy Harvin and Marshawn Lynch, and the increasingly appealing

play calling of offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell.

Bevell must be having a blast employing the versatile Harvin on sweeps and pitches, and screens and hitches.

When Wilson gets the ball to Harvin, for instance, the habit is to turn a short pass into chains-moving gains. At this point, Harvin is averaging a modest 7.1 yards per catch. But 5.1 of those yards are coming after he gets the ball. Those passes are as low-risk as handoffs, with the benefit of roughly three yards per play over the typical run.

Twelve Seahawks have registered catches thus far, including Wilson, which is a broad distribution of the ball. But it’s skewed differently this season.

Last year, Lynch (2) and Derrick Coleman (1) had the only touchdown catches by running backs all season. In the first three games, Lynch has two, Coleman has one and Robert Turbin has one — giving backs four of the six touchdown catches Seahawks have made.

Those tend to be short passes with big paydays.

The USAToday article points out that Wilson has never lost a game against

Hall-of-Fame types like Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees and Tom Brady, having thrown 14 touchdowns and just one interception in those games.

It’s a point worth making, but further worth reminding that Wilson was not playing against the Seahawks’ defense at the time.

But that leads to the broader point on how the game has changed. The average NFL passer rating after three games is the highest it’s ever been at this point of the season (90.6).

And that rate inflation has struck the Seahawk defense, too. Facing Rodgers, Philip Rivers and Peyton Manning in the first game would skew any pass-defense stats.

But the Seahawks’ opposing passer rating of 94.3 is a whopping 31 points higher than what flustered quarterbacks registered against them in the 2013 regular season.

And after this week’s bye, the Hawks face Washington’s Kirk Cousins (105.8), and later St. Louis’ Austin Davis, who has completed 72.3 percent of his passes as a fill-in for injured Sam Bradford, and Eagle Nick Foles, who averages 326 passing yards per game.

It used to be that if a quarterback on a good team compiled a rating in the 90s he’d have a shot at Pro Bowl recognition. Seahawk Matt Hasselbeck made it in ’03 with an 88.8, and in ’07 with a 91.4, for instance.

At this point, 17 quarterbacks with enough attempts to qualify have ratings in excess of 90, and six in triple digits.

A lot of it has to do with the way the game is played, and how it’s now being officiated.

But that’s the game as it stands, and nobody has adapted or developed into that role better than Russell Wilson.

The silver-plated stands were decorated with three dimensional figures, animals, flowers or strange groupings like a cupid driving a chariot pulled by a peacock or the Greek god Poseidon with his spear poised to catch a piece of fruit from the bowl below. The bowls were sometimes silver but more often were colored art glass like Amberina, Burmese, Peachblow, Pomona, satin glass, or

Because collectors since the 1960s have preferred colored glass, art glass pieces found in stands today often are replacements for the original old clear glass bowls.

Gadget works as bucket, watering can

By William Hageman Chicago Tribune

GREAT PLANT PICKS

Acer palmatum, Orangeola.

GREAT PLANT PICK What: Acer palmatum, Orangeola, is an exceptional selection of the lace-leaf Japanese maples.

Why: The new spring leaves are bright orangered when they first emerge and retain an orange undertone as they fade to a summertime redgreen. The foliage color is enhanced by a second flush of orange-red new growth

in mid-summer. Fall color tends to be in dramatic fiery tones of red and orange.

Where: One nice feature of this shrubby tree is that it is not as wide spreading as other forms of laceleaf maples making it an excellent selection for containers.

Size: Reaches a height of 4 feet with a spread of 3 feet.

How to make indoors safer for allergy sufferers

By Katherine Roth Associated Press

Although the thought of sleeping with millions of dust mites — microscopic arachnids that feast on flakes of skin — is just plain gross, it’s something most people can handle without worry. After all, our bodies are inhabited by multitudes of bacteria, to which we seldom give a thought.

For the many people who suffer from allergies, though, the allergens in dust-mite feces and body parts can lead to chronic sinus problems and coughing, among other symptoms. If gone untreated, the problem can escalate to eczema and asthma, particularly in children, according to James Sublett, presidentelect of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology.

Luckily, homes can be made more livable for allergy-sufferers — and less amenable to dust mites — in just a few steps.

About a quarter of Americans suffer from some sort of allergy and of those one-half to two-thirds are sensitive to dust-mite allergens, according to Sublett, making it one of the most common causes of allergies.

“Around the world, dust mites are the most common indoor allergen,” said Robert Wood, director of the pediatric allergy and immunology division of Johns Hopkins University.

If dust-mite allergies are suspected, the first step is to get tested by an allergist. While periodically replacing all your bedding might seem to make sense, experts say it’s unnecessary for those without allergies and insufficient for allergy sufferers.

Instead, these tips from allergists can help make any home friendlier to those with indoor allergies, dust mites included: Keep it dry. “One of the biggest and most common mistakes people make is to install vaporizers and

A house dust mite is seen through an electron microscope.

Although the thought of sleeping with millions of dust mites is just plain gross, for most of us it’s not dangerous. For those with allergies, however, the symptoms can be serious.

humidifiers,” Sublett said.

“Moisture can and does cause all kinds of problems.” Dust mites can’t survive in less than 50 percent humidity, so buy a humidity meter and, if needed, a dehumidifier to keep humidity to between 35 percent and 50 percent.

“Just three hours above that level of humidity,

though, is enough to keep the dust mites alive,” he said.

Rip out the rugs and ditch the drapes. Carpet and heavy drapes are a reservoir for allergens like dust mites and should be removed, particularly in bedrooms. If removing them isn’t an option, the American College

“It’s a lot less expensive in the fall,” Bradley said. “Anybody who is looking for a lot of home remodeling can get a better price than in the spring. The contractors aren’t as busy. You can get your job started right away rather than wait.”

of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology recommends frequent vacuuming using a HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) filter. Those with allergies should stay away or wear an N95 particulate mask during and immediately after vacuuming, since particles can remain airborne for up to two hours.

Just encase. All mattresses, box springs, pillows and comforters should be encased in well-sealed, tightly woven, microfiber “mite-proof” covers from a reputable company, such as Mission: Allergy or National Allergy Supply, and linens and stuffed animals should be washed weekly, allergists say. “The temperatures and detergents used are

much less important than the regularity of washing,” Sublett said.

Opt for smooth. Smooth surfaces that can be wiped clean are generally better for allergy-sufferers than more porous upholstered surfaces on couches, chairs and even car seats, Sublett said.

Clear and clean the air. To help keep indoor allergens of any kind at bay, homes should be smokefree and pets should be kept out of the bedroom.

For the very allergy-prone, use a HEPA air filter in the bedroom with a CADR (clean air delivery rate) adequate for the size of the room. Install MERV 11 or 12 disposable, high-efficiency filters in the furnace and air conditioning system that can be changed every few months, according to Sublett. But these steps are less important for those suffering solely from dust-mite allergies, since dust mites burrow deep in bedding and dust-mite particles are generally not airborne, according to Wood.

Compost happens, if you do it right

By Lee Rich Associated Press

As the bumper sticker on my truck reads, “Compost Happens.”

Sometimes, however, it doesn’t happen fast enough.

That problem usually can be traced to some limiting factor in what a pile is fed, or to issues of moisture or aeration.

Feed your pile Compost piles work most quickly if the two most important foodstuffs — carbon and nitrogen — are in balance. Old, usually brown and dry plant materials, such as autumn leaves, straw, hay and sawdust, are rich in carbon. The older the plant material, the more carbon it has. Nitrogenrich materials include succulent, green plant parts, such as tomato stalks, vegetable waste from the kitchen and grass clippings, as well as manures. Nitrogen fertilizers are concentrated sources of nitrogen, and are the active ingredient of commercial compost “activators.”

As autumn approaches, an excess of compostable materials rich in carbon build up, so the way to speed up composting of piles built in the next few weeks is to add supplemental nitrogen. No need to balance nitrogen and carbon materials exactly, because microorganisms will eventually do it for

you, albeit slowly if the excess is of carbon foods.

Also, there’s more at play than just carbon and nitrogen ratios. Particle sizes, for instance. Chopping the raw materials gives microorganisms more surface area to “chew” on initially. A machete is a handy, cheap and satisfying tool for this job.

pselling is a fact of consumer life, from “will you have fries with that?” at the drivethru to the credit card promotion at the department store cash register.

But when it comes to home services, how can you tell the difference between a worthwhile recommendation and a pitch you should ditch?

The answer revolves around one word: trust. Do you trust your plumbing, electrical, carpet-cleaning or other service provider?

Our members say that when they’ve hired well-rated companies, especially ones they’ve worked with before, they experience recommendations about additional products and services more as education than upselling.

One homeowner told us he braced for a hard sell after a garage door technician found more than just a broken spring.

The customer was relieved that he got no pressure and that the repair pro took the time to show him the worn areas. Seeing was believing, and the consumer opted to pay for additional repairs.

Another homeowner said he appreciated his plumber’s suggestion to replace a 15-year-old commode with a model that had more features than the original. The customer conducted his own online research and concluded that the more expensive toilet did, indeed, better suit his needs.

Quench your pile’s thirst Another frequent cause of a sluggish compost pile is insufficient moisture.

Sun and wind dry out piles that are free-standing or enclosed by wire mesh. A solid-walled bin speeds things along by holding in moisture and generated warmth.

There’s often not enough water when you gather together quantities of dry materials, such as autumn leaves. The cure, of course, is to add water, and an effective way to do this is by adding raw materials in layers, watering each layer as the pile grows.

Let your pile breathe The opposite condition, too much water, also slows composting. And soggy ingredients lead to another common composting problem — a pile that gives off offensive odors or attracts flies.

When too much water gets into a compost pile, air is displaced and a new

set of microorganisms go to work, ones that work slowly and malodorously.

The cure for a waterlogged pile is aeration, accomplished either by stirring the pile, or by turning and rebuilding it.

Rotating drum bins make it especially easy to stir ingredients.

Odors due to poor aeration also result when piles contain too many dense, succulent, raw materials, such as grass clippings or kitchen waste. These materials compound the odor problem because they are rich in nitrogen, which is vented off as ammonia. In this case, turning the pile and adding some fluffy, highcarbon material, such as straw, puts things in order.

To monitor compost progress beyond what your nose or time will tell you, slide the long probe of a compost thermometer deep into a pile.

Temperatures in a pile that’s been built quickly in warm weather can soar to 140 degrees Fahrenheit or higher. No heat indicates insufficient moisture, nitrogen or air, or too small a pile.

No matter what though, any pile of living or once-living materials will eventually turn to compost, and a few benchmarks signal when.

Take the pile’s temperature: It has cooled down. Look at the pile: It’s mostly a dark brown, crumbly fudge. Smell it: Finished compost has a pleasant, woodsy aroma.

evaluating service provider proposals to spend more than you planned: ■ Seek multiple estimates from contractors who have positive reputations and are appropriately licensed and insured.

■ Make sure you understand what’s being proposed, and why. A reputable contractor should be willing to take time to explain everything, not simply push you to make a quick decision. If you’re told to replace your main sewer line, for instance, require video proof of the problem, and be certain the images are of your system.

■ Don’t hesitate to ask questions, do research and take the time you need to make a decision.

■ Never forget that it’s your money. It’s your home. Don’t be afraid to say no.

■ When scheduling cleaning or routine maintenance work, make sure you understand what the typical service includes. For instance, with carpet cleaning, it may cost $3 a step or more to clean a staircase.

Special treatments may be required for stubborn stains.

■ Be wary of “free” home analyses, which may be thinly disguised sales pitches that will end up costing you.

■ Be especially suspicious of anyone who uses scare tactics or insists you must get the service or product that day.

Kovel From Page D1

Q: A family member has a coffee table and two end tables that are stumping us. The tables were purchased in Germany in the late 1950s or early 1960s.

The tops are hand carved, stained and painted, and covered with a piece of glass that can be removed.

The legs are screwed in. They are marked on the bottom “D.B.G.M. Geschutzt.” I hope you can help with some information and a value.

A: Your tables are in the style called “Black Forest,” a term used to describe the elaborate, naturalistic wood carvings of animals, plants and landscapes thought to be made in the Bavarian Black Forest region of southwest Germany. But most pieces were really made in Brienz, Switzerland, where the carving style started in the early 1800s. From the mid1880s to the 1940s, Brienz wood carvers made rustic clocks, benches, hall trees, smoking stands, chairs, tables and other furniture they sold to tourists. It was popular with Americans.

The mark on your tables stands for Deutsches Bundes Gebrauchsmuster (German Federal Registered Design) and was used in West Germany from 1948 to 1985. So your tables were probably made in the 1950s. Black Forest carvings from Brienz are from the 1880s to 1920s are sought after and sell for a lot of money. Most midcentury Black Forest style pieces made for tourists in Germany or Austria, are machine made and worth much less. Your tables could sell for $50 to $100.

Q: Please tell me the value of a 1939 San Francisco World’s Fair lady’s compact. It has an image of

The building pictured on your compact is the Expo Tower at the fair’s main entrance. Any lady’s compact from the fair sells for about $10-$20.

Q: I have an antique doll that reads “Dainty Dorothy, Germany” on the tummy. It has yellow hair, a bisque head, open mouth with teeth, and a kid body.

It is jointed but is missing a hand. It has shoes and socks and a new dress. The doll is about 21 inches tall.

Can you tell me how old it is and what it might be worth?

A: Dainty Dorothy was a line of dolls sold by Sears, Roebuck & Co. and by T. Eaton Co., a Canadian department store, from

1910 until; at least 1922.

Kestner, Simon & Halbig, Armand Marseille, and Gebruder Heubach made bisque heads for the dolls.

If you find a manufacturer’s mark on the doll’s head on the back of the neck, you can identify the maker. Dolls with composition forearms and lower legs were made beginning in 1912. An all composition version was sold by Eaton in 1918. Not having the original dress doesn’t affect the value very much but the value of your doll is lower because it’s missing a hand. Your doll is worth $50 to $75.

Tip: Cover the nose of your hammer with a piece of felt to protect the wall when you are putting up picture hooks. If the wall is smooth, some of the new stick-on hooks might work.

If you are looking for the perfect vine for a trellis or arbor then look no further than the passionflower. Not only will they climb with abandon, but they will adorn your structure with the most exotic flowers on the planet. Depending on where you live, you may even get tasty fruit, but from my perspective they are mandatory for all who love butterflies.

Know that most passion vines require good drainage and plenty of sunlight to be prolific bloomers. Provide a good support structure

and keep well mulched.

You will find that many have the ability to climb at least two stories high.

I’ve talked of their importance to butterflies. The question to ask yourself is can you tolerate the caterpillars munching on the leaves? Your tolerance of holes in the leaves or partial leaves will be rewarded with more butterflies. If the holes bother you then consider planting a vine away from the main MCT area of visitation.

DAILY CROSSWORD

Get married, but only for the right reasons Adapted from a recent online discussion.

Dear Carolyn: I’ve been bugging my boyfriend about getting engaged. We’ve lived together for eight months now, and he says he wants to marry me, he just wants to make sure we’re not rushing. We’re both 24. After making enough lighthearted jokes about getting engaged he finally just straight up asked me, “Why do you want to get married?” and I had no real answer. I mumbled something about committing ourselves fully, but it didn’t feel right.

Lately I’ve been thinking about how if I hadn’t found him and moved in with him I’d have gotten myself a house and a dog by now. It was in the works before we started dating. Do you think I can still be ready for marriage even if my reasons for truly wanting it have less to do with love and more with the future I want to start?

— Kickstart My Life?

No. Get married because you’ve found your life partner and you have good reasons to formalize it.

(Religious, financial, legal, societal — that’s your business, not mine.)

If you really just want to get a house and a dog, then get a house and a dog.

Living with your boyfriend makes the former somewhat more

CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT complicated, but you can still buy the house yourself as you were planning to before, once you’ve decided how much weight to give his opinion on which house you buy. If he doesn’t want a dog, then no dog, but that’s true of any cohabitants, married or not.

Whatever you do, stop the “bugging” and “lighthearted jokes” as fig leaves for your actual thoughts and feelings. Use your words. If you can’t, then that more than anything else says he isn’t the only one unready to tie any knots.

Hi, Carolyn: Are there lessons offered anywhere about becoming a less awkward, more naturally polite person? Yesterday I was walking my daughter in a stroller when I passed another mother with her baby. She said, “Your daughter is adorable!”

I said something like, “Thank you!

Today’s her first birthday!” It wasn’t till the other mom was too far away that I realized I probably should have reciprocated with a compliment about her baby’s cuteness.

Things like this — saying the wrong thing or failing to say the obvious right thing — happen to me almost nonstop. How do I become a functioning member of the human race?

— Learning to Be Normal (1) Forgive yourself. If you’re uncomfortable in social situations, then your mental energy will go into how you look and speak, which means you’re not putting mental energy into seeing or listening to the other person. It’s not deliberate, it’s just the nature of self-consciousness.

(2) “I will ask questions” — that’s the new mantra you adopt. Keep reminding yourself — especially right after you notice someone, but before you start talking. You’ll still goof sometimes, and still be thinking more of the question than the answer at first, but eventually asking will become habit.

That habit will free you to worry less and listen more, the latter being the whole point of the reciprocal compliment: saying, essentially, “I’m paying attention to you.”

Illusion of perfect marriage takes a hit Dear Abby: I always thought that “Lana,” my wife of 14 years, and I had the perfect marriage. When I discovered she was having an affair, it hit me like a train wreck. After many weeks of trying to discover who she really is, I found out she has had several affairs throughout our marriage.

I still love my wife and feel I could forgive her and regain my trust in her. The problem is, she says she is trying to recover from her actions, so she can no longer hear about my problems or respond to any of my questions.

Lana is now saying I need to see someone to discuss our issues with. We are already seeing a marriage counselor, but I suspect he is too connected to us as a couple. What do you think?

— Lost In Limbo Dear In Limbo: I think the marriage counselor should have made clear to you and your wife that in order for trust to be rebuilt it takes LOTS of dialogue and listening on the part of both spouses. And painful as it may be for Lana, she owes you the answers to your questions.

I think she is correct in suggesting you talk to someone individually.

With the help of a licensed psychotherapist, you may be able to rationally decide whether your wife is capable of being the person you assumed she was, and if staying married to her is the best thing for you.

Dear Abby: My mother died a few years ago after a prolonged illness. My father has found a new lady (“Colette”) to share his life, and they are now engaged.

My problem is my sisters.

We are all adults with families of our own. They don’t like Colette at all. They are RIP HAYWIRE

rude to her and behave like spoiled children. Colette is very different from Mom, but our family has always been open-minded and taken pride in our conviction that “normal” is just a setting on the dryer.

Colette isn’t after Dad’s money, nor is she forcing her way into our lives. She’s also not trying to replace Mom. It appears she genuinely cares for our dad, which I can understand.

Dad is happy as a clam.

He’s enjoying life and has lots more life to live. The only thing that mars his happiness is my sisters’ attitudes. — Joy In Texas Dear Joy: Please accept my sympathy for the loss of your mother. Perhaps you should remind your sisters how grateful they should be that your father has been able to find happiness after losing your mother. Not all widowers are able to do that. Stress that his desire to remarry is a tribute to the relationship he had with your mother, because men who had unfulfilling marriages usually don’t want to commit again.

Point out that they have nothing to gain by alienating Colette and a lot to lose, because the more they treat her with disrespect, the farther away they will drive her — and your dad. Then suggest that if they can’t resolve their grief, they join a support group or consult a therapist for help.

BRIDGE I sat down to kibitz the club’s Chicago game and found Cy the Cynic sitting opposite his adversary Wendy, our feminist.

“How’s it going?” I asked Cy. “I’m keeping my head above water,” he shrugged.

“That’s because wood floats,” Wendy snorted.

Apparently, Cy had done something that didn’t meet with his partner’s approval. I got the details later. Cy had declared at today’s four spades, and since he had bid

clubs, West led the queen of hearts instead of his singleton.

The Cynic took dummy’s ace; drew trumps with the ace, king and queen; and let the ten of clubs ride. The finesse won, but when he led to his jack next, West discarded, and Cy lost a club to East’s king, two hearts and a diamond.

“The man couldn’t find his way through a laboratory maze if the rats helped him,” Wendy growled.

Cy should lead a club to his jack at Trick Two. He draws trumps ending in dummy and leads the ten of clubs.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: ♠ A K J 10 6 ♥ 8 7 3 ♦ 4 ♣ A Q J 3. Your partner opens one heart, you bid one spade and he rebids two hearts. What do you say?

ANSWER: Slam is possible if partner has the right cards: strong hearts, the ace of diamonds (but not the K-Q) and the king of clubs. Bid three clubs. If he goes to 3NT next, bid four hearts to suggest a hand with shortness in diamonds and slam interest. If partner has 8 7, A K 9 6 5 2, A 7 6, K 7, he will bid slam.

Paula Deen is ready to tell her side of the story behind the racist remark that set back her career, but you’ll need to pay to hear it.

The former Food Network star has been working on a documentary about herself and her downfall — triggered in 2013 by her acknowledgment that she’d used a racial slur in the past — but it will only be available to subscribers of her new website, the Paula Deen Network.

Recipe content on the site will be free, but viewers will need to pay $9.99 a month to view videos.

the first of the year and tell everybody the true story of what really hapPaula Deen pened,” Deen said of the documentary during a recent telephone interview.

“It was a painful year for me.

It was a hurtful year when I found myself being labeled for something I was not.”

The website, which launches Wednesday, will feature an ambitious array of original video content, including traditional cooking shows as well as lifestyle and game show segments, all starring

Deen and her sons. The site, which will include no outside advertising or sponsors, also includes thousands of Deen’s recipes, as well as menu planning tools.

The site and documentary are part of a larger effort by the star and her backers to resuscitate her career after public relations disasters cost her nearly all her book, TV and endorsement deals.

In 2012, she was criticized for announcing she had both diabetes and a lucrative endorsement deal for a drug to treat the condition she’d until then hidden. A year later, during a legal dispute with a former employee

TODAY IN HISTORY Today’s highlight: On Sept. 25, 1789, the first United States Congress adopted 12 amendments to the Constitution and sent them to the states for ratification.

(Ten of the amendments became the Bill of Rights.)

On this date: In 1690, one of the earliest American newspapers, Publick Occurrences, published its first — and last — edition in Boston.

In 1904, a New York City police officer ordered a female automobile passenger on Fifth Avenue to stop smoking a cigarette.

(A male companion was arrested and later fined $2 for “abusing” the officer.)

In 1957, nine black students who’d been forced to withdraw from Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, because of unruly white crowds were escorted to class by

MUSIC members of the U.S. Army’s 101st Airborne Division.

In 1981, Sandra Day O’Connor was sworn in as the first female justice on the Supreme Court.

In 1994, Russian President Boris Yeltsin began a five-day swing through the United States as he arrived in New York, hoping to encourage American investment in his country’s struggling economy.

who accused her of racial discrimination and sexual harassment, she acknowledged having used racial slurs in the past.

The experience was painful, but valuable, Deen told the AP. “I learned the power of words, how they have the ability to hurt and once you say certain words you can’t un-ring it, not even 30 years later.”

The new site, which is being overseen by longtime Deen producer Gordon Elliot, also will feature all of the content Deen produced during her more than 10 years at the Food Network. The network parted ways with her following the revelations about her comments.

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

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.
