Doctor charged in threats The psychiatrist, who had his license suspended, is accused of making disturbing and aggressive phone calls to Molina Healthcare.

By Diana Hefley Herald Writer

EVERETT — A psychiatrist whose license was suspended earlier this year now is being

prosecuted for allegedly making threats to shoot up a Bothell health insurance office.

Said Farzad is fighting the suspension of his medical license and filed an appeal last week in Pierce County Superior Court. Farzad, 63, also must now defend against a telephone harassment charge, a felony.

The charge stems from allegations the Gig Harbor man made a series of disturbing phone calls to Molina Healthcare in

May. Farzad was working as psychiatrist at Sea Mar Behavioral Health Clinic in Tacoma.

Detectives were told that Farzad frequently called the office whenever his patients’ prescriptions were delayed or denied coverage. Many of his patients were on government-funded health care plans and were required to have their prescriptions authorized by Molina.

Farzad’s calls became increasingly aggressive and insulting,

Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Edirin Okoloko wrote in court papers filed late last week.

Employees were instructed not to take calls from him and to refer his inquires to a supervisor.

Farzad called Molina five times May 5. He allegedly threatened to go to the business armed with a gun. One employee reported that Farzad said he was “homicidal” and told See THREATS, Page A2

EVERETT — For more than a week during the summer of 1995, Patti Berry was lying in a patch of woods where her killer had dumped her.

Her family had been frantically scouring Snohomish County for any sign of the young mother. Her body was found by children.

A Snohomish County jury on Wednesday saw video recorded at that crime scene more than 19

years ago as prosecutors continued to assemble their case against the man they hope to show is responsible for the “cold case” killing.

Danny Ross Giles, 46, is charged with first-degree murder. It wasn’t until 2008 that modern DNA tests reportedly linked him to genetic evidence recovered from the steering wheel of Berry’s blood-spattered car.

Giles’ attorneys say he’s the victim of an investigation flawed by shoddy police work and

tunnel vision. Prosecutors have told jurors that forensic scientists will testify that chances of a random match between Giles’ genetic profile and the DNA on the steering wheel is 1 in 580 million.

They’ve spent the first days of the trial retracing steps investigators made nearly two decades ago. So much time has passed that most of the detectives who’ve testified so far are long retired or have moved on to other lines of work.

The Spirit of Snohomish County Breakfast saluted those who responded to the Oso disaster and people dedicated to helping others.

TULALIP —At a Spirit of Snohomish County Breakfast that highlighted heroism and generosity displayed after the Oso mudslide, United Way of Snohomish County on Wednesday also honored people who have spent years working to better the lives of others.

Sarri Gilman, who in the early 1990s founded Cocoon House to shelter homeless teens in Everett, was awarded this year’s Spirit of Snohomish County Reeves/ Sievers Founders’ Award. The award is named for J.A. Reeves Sarri Gilman and Roy Sievers, who in 1940 formed the Everett Community Chest that evolved into United Way of Snohomish County.

Throughout the breakfast at the Tulalip Resort Casino, there were moments to honor those who responded after the March 22 mudslide that claimed 43 lives.

Coastal Community Bank was honored with the Spirit of Snohomish County Community Partner Award largely because of its decision to forgive debts of families who lost property — homes and cars — in the mudslide and were not insured.

Laura Byers, a bank executive, said in a video shown during the breakfast that the bank had customers who lost loved ones in the slide, and that some employees lost homes. “Coastal forgave loans because it was the right thing to do,” she said.

Applause also rose as Oso Fire Chief Willy Harper and three others from the volunteer fire department stood to be recognized. Darrington Mayor Dan Rankin, Arlington Mayor Barbara Tolbert and people working with family support agencies in Darrington and Arlington were asked to stand and be recognized.

Fundraising for mudslide relief

her to get the FBI on the line because he felt like murdering people in her department and wanted to come to Molina with machine guns, Okoloko wrote. He also allegedly warned another employee he was nearing the office and he was armed with a bomb.

Employees told detectives they were afraid that Farzad would carry out this threats.

Bothell detectives arrested Farzad the next day at his clinic.

Farzad admitted that he was upset with Molina over denying psychiatric medications to his patients, Okoloko wrote.

He denied making any threats to employees.

Farzad is scheduled to

be in Snohomish County Superior Court later this month to answer to the charge.

When contacted on Wednesday, Farzad’s attorney Brett Purtzer, of Tacoma, declined to comment.

“I don’t have anything to say right now,” Purtzer said.

Farzad was licensed to practice in Washington in 2005. State records show he has worked for at least three different clinics since 2012.

The state Department of Health suspended Farzad’s license shortly after his arrest in May. The suspension was upheld after a hearing in late July. The state’s Medical Quality Assurance Commission concluded that the public needed to be protected

and Farzad’s “ability to practice with reasonable skill and safety was sufficiently impaired by a mental condition,” state records show.

The commission found Farzad’s demeanor to be “manipulative, controlling, and grandiose, and indicates some type of underlying mental condition that does interfere with his ability to practice as a physician ...,” records show.

Farzad was ordered to undergo a neuropsychological examination before applying to have his license reinstated.

He must submit the evaluation to The Washington Physicians Health Program, which will determine whether Farzad is safe to return to practice, and if not,

what treatment is recommended.

Farzad also might still need to answer to allegations that he crossed professional boundaries with patients in 2013.

Prior to his arrest in May, the state was investigating complaints that Farzad encouraged relationships with two patients, buying them gifts and socializing with them outside the office.

Those charges have not been resolved; however, the commission found that a mental health condition might have led to unprofessional conduct, said Marqise Allen, a spokesman for the state Department of Health.

helicopter’s flight path: north from the club, over the highway, then east on Airport Road headed toward 128th Street SW. The helicopter lingered over a car wash just west of the freeway.

That’s where Berry’s car was found the evening after she disappeared.

A search of the area the next morning turned up her blood-soaked jeans, draped over a bramble patch, along with several of the brightly colored outfits from her dancing bag.

The helicopter then turned north, headed toward Everett Mall and the place where Berry’s body was found.

Burgess explained that he shot a separate video there. He filmed as he ducked under the yellow police crime-scene tape and then took a slow walk around the perimeter.

Blood spattered in the car already had convinced detectives that Berry was fatally stabbed in her vehicle, pushed onto the

back floorboards and then driven to the woods where she was left.

Joe Ward retired from the sheriff’s office in 2005 after 32 years, most of that time spent as a homicide detective. He earlier had told jurors that investigators didn’t want to risk destroying evidence by approaching Berry’s body on the same path the killer used to carry her into the woods. ....Instead, they hacked out a path from the opposite direction, checking constantly for anything potentially significant.

It was down that path that Burgess carried his video camera. He needed to document Berry’s position before anything was moved, he told jurors.

“We are now coming up on the location of the body,” he said as the video played. Berry, partially nude, was visible in the brush. Her arms and legs were akimbo, almost as if she was jumping over a hurdle. Sunlight and shadow moved across her as the wind stirred the

trees above.

Some witnesses are testifying in stages because of the complexity of the case and the many years that have passed.

John Padilla, who was the lead detective on the Berry case during the first four years, showed jurors the blood-stained pants and dancer outfits he gathered up after she disappeared.

Neal Friedman, one of Giles’ public defenders, has made clear he intends to grill Padilla about how evidence mishandling in the Berry case ultimately contributed to his firing at the sheriff’s office. On Wednesday, though, Friedman’s questions for the former detective focused largely on how he collected the dance costumes, and whether investigators now have a better understanding about keeping DNA evidence from being compromised.

was also noted. Four organizations — United Way, the Snohomish County Chapter of the American Red Cross, the Cascade Valley Hospital Foundation and the Greater Everett Community Foundation — received about $9 million for disaster aid after the slide.

Dennis Smith, president and CEO of the local United Way, described the Reeves/Sievers prize given to Gilman as the agency’s equivalent of a lifetime achievement award.

In accepting the award, Gilman recalled visiting the Cocoon House Complex recently and seeing a tree that was planted years ago to commemorate a teen’s life. “That tree has grown huge,” said Gilman, who now has a private practice as a therapist.

She said it was an honor to know that “many of the things you do over so many years add up to something.”

For a decade after establishing Cocoon House, Gilman was its executive director. Cocoon House now helps teens and young adults with facilities and programs around the county, among them a Maternity Group Home in Arlington.

In May, Gilman stepped down after seven years as director of Leadership Snohomish County, a nonprofit that works to develop local leaders.

The keynote speaker at the breakfast was Rich Harwood, founder and president of the Marylandbased Harwood Insitute for Public Innovation. He commended people here for their help after the mudslide.

Harwood, who was involved with decisions in Newtown, Connecticut, after the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings, urged organizations and communities to turn outward rather than inward, and to focus on shared aspirations.

These other awards were announced at the breakfast:

Spirit of Snohomish County Youth Award: Kim Tran A recent graduate of Mariner High School, Tran is a member of United Way of Snohomish County’s Kim Tran Teen Lead-

ership Council. Through four years of high school, she volunteered for United Way’s annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service. She was involved with the YMCA of Snohomish County’s Minority Achievers Program. She spearheaded video projects to broaden the reach of United Way’s Youth United program. Tran is now a freshman at Seattle University.

Spirit of Snohomish County Adult Award: Kay Field With expertise in family law, in 2002 Field created a free legal clinic for the YWCA Kay Field Pathways for Women site in Lynnwood. It’s a partnership between the YWCA and Snohomish County Legal Services providing access to legal help that families otherwide could not afford. Field dedicates hours each week to this pro bono work.

According to her videotaped interview shown at the breakfast, Field has sometimes shared her mental health issues with clients to make them feel at ease.

Spirit of Snohomish County Labor Award: Paul Schubert A shop steward for the International Association of Machinists & Aerospace Paul Schubert Workers (IAM) District 751, Schubert has helped with the annual Letter Carriers Food Drive and many other union service projects. This year he was instrumental in the union-organized peanut butter drive to benefit Volunteers of America food banks. A Marine Corps veteran, he volunteers with Toys for Tots.

He has also served food at the Everett Gospel Mission and built wheelchair ramps.

Jerry Goodwin, CEO of Senior Aerospace-Aerostructures, is this year’s United Way campaign chairman. He commended supporters of last year’s campaign — 13,054 people from 418 companies, agencies and unions.

“Our theme this year is Building Community Together,” he said.

That was true for John Burgess, who served more than 21 years on the Everett Police Department and now works as a special investigator for a prosecutor’s office in Hawaii.

In the early days of the case, Berry’s killing was jointly investigated by the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office and Everett police. That’s because her body was found south of the Everett Mall, inside city limits.

Burgess, an Everett detective, helped gather evidence.

Under questioning by deputy prosecutor Bob Langbehn, Burgess explained that one of his assignments was to videotape key locations from a helicopter.

His tape began with images of the parking lot at Honey’s, a nude nightclub that used to be along Highway 99 south of Everett. Berry, 26, left there a few minutes before closing on July 31, 1995, after her working her shift as a dancer.

Her family began looking for her the next day when she failed to pick up her 2-year-old daughter from a babysitter.

‘Time out’ called for new pot businesses

By Noah Haglund Herald Writer

EVERETT — The Snohomish County Council on Wednesday temporarily halted new statelicensed marijuana businesses in some of the county’s rural areas.

The council’s emergency ordinance also puts a six-month pause on new growing,

processing or retail outfits along a mile-long stretch of Highway 9 in Clearview. It applies to businesses seeking to operate under the state’s Initiative 502 rules for recreational pot.

The action followed a similar emergency ordinance the council enacted Monday that applied only to medical marijuana businesses in Clearview.

Both measures passed 5-0.

“It would give us a time out, some breathing room to consider these issues thoughtfully,” Council Chairman Dave Somers said.

More than 20 people, representing both sides of the issue, commented for more than an hour and a half during council’s hearing Wednesday.

Some Clearview residents have mounted strong opposition to a proliferation of

marijuana businesses in their semi-rural neighborhood.

Pot entrepreneurs, meanwhile, have appealed to the council to respect their right to open businesses they had pursued under land-use regulations the council adopted last year.

The county’s planning department, as of this week, had commented on 131 applications for pot businesses to the state

Liquor Control Board. Just five were from potential retail outlets, the rest from people hoping to cultivate or process cannabis crops.

Of the applications, 88 were in the R-5 zones and Clearview rural commercial area affected by council’s action on Wednesday. R-5 zones are rural areas See POT, Page A4

‘Outdated’ oil trains too risky, Inslee says

With foul weather likely on its way, officials urge residents to be prepared and cautious, especially in flood-prone areas.

What will the weather bring?

Officials to keep a close eye on the Oso mudslide area during storms

By Rikki King Herald Writer

EVERETT — Friday and Saturday are supposed to be sunny, but the cloudy, rainy season is settling in.

Historically, Snohomish County most often sees flooding in November and December.

For the next months, the forecast looks warmer and drier than normal, but with plenty of room for fluctuation, according to the National Weather Service in Seattle.

The first few rainstorms will be closely monitored in Snohomish

County, where the path of the North Fork Stillaguamish River still is shifting after the March 22 mudslide in Oso. Additional gauges have been added to the river east of Arlington to catch early signs of rising water, said Debbie Terwilliger, the Snohomish County Surface Water Management division director.

The river is still spreading itself back out, but it’s not as wide as it was, she said.

“Because of the capacity of the current river size, it’s sort of like there’s not as big a drain for the bathtub, so upstream we

anticipate will flood more than it would have in the past,” she said.

Most problems are expected to be in the area immediately upstream of the slide, likely the same spots that flooded when the river was dammed, Weather Service hydrologist Brent Bower said.

Flooding forecasts for the slide area still are experimental, though, because there will be new river level thresholds for when it’s necessary to warn folks, Bower said.

“There’s a lot of monitoring going on and a lot of attention still being paid to it,” he said.

Folks who live in the area are being encouraged to consider flood insurance if they don’t have it already, Terwilliger said.

The county also has been working with the Oso Fire District and the Army Corps of Engineers to coordinate their response for large storms.

There’s a chance of having an El Nino fall and winter, but so far more neutral conditions are predicted, said Johnny Burg, a Weather Service meteorologist.

That could mean warmer conditions through February and less See WEATHER, Page A4

OLYMPIA — Communities throughout Washington need more resources and their emergency responders require more training to be ready to deal with accidents involving oil trains, according to a draft report released Wednesday by Gov. Jay Inslee.

And while the state considers investing millions of dollars into preparing and preventing such incidents, the federal government must move quicker to get safer oil tank cars onto the rails, Inslee said at a press conference in Seattle “Today, the health and safety of Washington’s residents are at risk,” Inslee said. “Oil trains are running through Washington every day that are outdated, inadequate and outright dangerous.

This is unacceptable to me and I’m sure to every Washingtonian.”

The report, prepared by the Department of Ecology and other state agencies, examines transportation of oil by train and marine tanker in Washington.

Most of the focus is on rail shipments, which have grown from virtually none in 2011 to 17 million barrels, or roughly 714 million gallons, in 2013, according to the study. This year, the numbers are expected to be 55 million barrels, or 2.87 billion gallons.

A series of recommendations calls for spending additional money to develop emergency plans, to buy oil response equipment, and to provide more training for firefighters and first responders.

Also, Inslee is asking the federal government to require newer tank cars be deployed by October 2016, one year earlier than is currently planned. And he wants the federal government to impose a maximum speed of 40 mph for oil trains when traveling through populated areas.

Trucker convicted for not staying at crash site Associated Press BIG TIMBER, Mont.

— A truck driver was convicted Wednesday of failing to report a crash on I-90 in south-central Montana where an 81-year-old Alaska man was killed a year ago.

David Welk, 45, was convicted in Sweet Grass County District Court.

District Judge Katherine Bidegaray ordered a presentence investigation and did not set a

sentencing date.

Elgie Bedford, of Wasilla, Alaska, died early Sept. 30, 2013. Investigators believe several vehicles ran over his body before officers discovered it at about 7:30 a.m.

Welk was arrested in Iowa on Jan. 23 after his co-driver reported that the truck hit something in Montana.

Defense attorneys argued investigators couldn’t determine how many times Bedford was

struck, but prosecutors argued Welk should have reasonably known he hit a person. His co-driver told investigators they went back and picked up a headlight that fell off the truck in the collision.

An Oak Harbor woman who drove through the area is charged with leaving the scene of a fatal crash and tampering with evidence. The trial for Wyran Young, 31, is set for November. Her father, Westley Young, 50,

is charged with evidence tampering.

Court records allege they ran over Bedford’s remains and left some of his body parts at a car wash in Livingston, 40 miles away.

Bedford’s family said he was traveling from Alaska to Paris, Texas, to spend time with his children and grandchildren.

His car had gone off the road near and crashed into a fence near Big Timber, but investigators were unable to determine why.

snow in the mountains as well.

Now’s a good time for people to figure out alternate routes between home and work in case of bad weather, Edmonds police Sgt. Mark Marsh said.

Neighbors also should keep leaves out of storm grates near their homes, said Brent Kirk, the Granite Falls public works director. In case of flooding, sand and sand bags will be available in the empty lot behind the library.

In Everett, crews are on standby when wet weather is expected, city spokeswoman Meghan Pembroke said.

If flooding is predicted, people should move items off the floor and out of basements, she

said. Sandbag supplies will be available at old Fire Station 4 off Mukilteo Boulevard at Forest Park, the parking lot on Alverson Boulevard across from Legion Park, and near Silver Lake Park, across from Fire Station 7.

People should never drive or walk in floodwaters, and they must remember that rivers remain dangerous, cold and unpredictable, said John Morton, a county sheriff’s swiftwater rescue volunteer.

“The lesson for everyone else is to treat the water as more hazardous, more disabling due to cold, more likely to pull you into the current, and more likely to keep you there, far more so than the water appears,” he said.

where the county generally allows just one house per five acres, with some leeway for business activities. The Clearview commercial area stretches along a mile of Highway 9 and covers about 116 acres.

Under state law, the council must schedule a public hearing on any new development regulations approved without full vetting by the county planning commission.

Hearings on both emergency ordinances are scheduled at 10:30 a.m. Oct. 29.

The planning commission, meanwhile, is considering permanent regulations for marijuana businesses. An important aspect of any regulations is how they address the three-tiered licensing scale for different sizes of pot producers.

Commissioners are expected to hold their own hearings on proposed rules and to present recommendations to the County Council within the next six months, before the emergency measures expire.

In other words, if the proposed changes are enacted next year, no one will have to do anything different than they do now.

“This meets the clear directive from the governor that we update our clean water standards to protect the health of all Washingtonians, our environment and our economy,” Ecology Director Maia Bellon said in a statement Tuesday.

“What matters to people, and fish, is not the formula but the outcome — it’s less about the complex formula going into the standard and more about the level of pollution coming out of the pipe,” she said. “And the end result is that most standards are more protective and, with the one exception of naturally occurring arsenic, no standard is less protective than today.”

There was little immediate reaction Tuesday from those who had been worried about the impact on businesses.

That wasn’t the case with tribal leaders and environmentalists who continue to press the governor to not allow use of a

lower cancer-risk rate.

“Asking Washingtonians to assume a higher level of cancer risk is not an acceptable trade-off,” reads a statement issued by the Washington Environmental Council.

The Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission, which represents 20 western Washington tribes, criticized the approach in a letter to Inslee last month.

The governor has yet to respond.

“That’s just not acceptable for our tribe, for any tribe in the state or anybody who eats a lot of salmon,” Jim Peters, a member of the Squaxin Island Tribal Council told the Associated Press.

“They really don’t understand that impact to our people.”

The Department of Ecology will formally launch the rule-making process in January and hold public hearings on the proposal.

That will give all the voices a chance to be heard.

TULALIP — Detectives are investigating a shooting at a Walmart parking lot on the Tulalip Indian Reservation on Tuesday that sent one man to the hospital on his 29th birthday.

The man was treated for a gunshot wound to the shoulder at Providence Regional Medical Center Everett on Tuesday night before being booked into the Snohomish County Jail for investigation of robbery and a parole violation Wednesday morning.

His accomplice, 21, was booked into the Snohomish County Jail for investigation of robbery and theft.

The men are accused of stealing two ounces of marijuana from a Tulalip man

at gunpoint.

That man, 23, said the men hit him in the face with a handgun and shot out his front passenger-side window. He fired back with his own gun, and said his actions were self-defense, according to court records.

Detectives had the car impounded.

“They are still gathering evidence,” Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Shari Ireton said Wednesday.

The Tulalip man told detectives that he sells medical marijuana and had taken out an ad on Craigslist. He agreed to meet with the men Wednesday night.

After the shooting, the Tulalip man drove home to tell his wife what happened. They then went to the Washington State

Patrol headquarters west of Marysville to report the shooting. The case was turned over to Tulalip Tribal Police who asked for assistance from the sheriff’s office Major Crimes Unit.

At the hospital, the injured suspect told detectives he was shot at a party in Everett. When asked if he had been in the Tulalip supermarket parking lot earlier that evening, he allegedly became uncooperative.

An acquaintance of both suspects said he drove the men from the Tulalip supermarket parking lot to Everett and dropped them off at the emergency room, according to court records.

Man arrested after chase ends in Everett LYNNWOOD — A 26-year-old Lynnwood man was arrested Wednesday morning after a pursuit from Lynnwood to Everett.

The chase began about 9 a.m. near the 15500 block of 18th Avenue W., Snohomish County sheriff’s spokeswoman Shari Ireton said.

A sheriff’s lieutenant saw the man texting while driving and attempted to pull him over, Ireton said.

The man reportedly sped onto Ash Way and ran several stop signs.

The chase wound onto Casino Road, where a spike strip was used to disable the stolen car the man was driving.

He abandoned the car along Upper Ridge Road and ran away but was caught.

The incident wrapped up within about 10 minutes, Ireton said.

The man is expected to be booked for investigation of eluding police and for a warrant from Skagit County. No injuries were reported.

Gold Bar: Device removed A bomb squad collected an apparent explosive device found outside Gold Bar Elementary on Wednesday afternoon.

A man called 911 about 3:30 p.m. after spotting what looked like a pipe bomb in the grass near the school.

“He then reportedly moved the object to his vehicle to protect the children in the area,” Snohomish County sheriff’s spokeswoman Shari Ireton said.

The bomb squad collected the device and took it apart for evidence, Ireton said.

The item was determined to be a realisticlooking fake.

No one was hurt.

2nd-in-command named acting attorney for Western District Associated Press SEATTLE — Annette Hayes has been named acting U.S. attorney for the Western District of Washington, following the resignation of Jenny Durkan.

Durkan’s last day in office was Tuesday, and on Wednesday the Executive Office of U.S. Attorneys picked Hayes — her

second-in-command — to fill in pending the confirmation of a presidentially appointed replacement.

Hayes, 52, has been at the U.S. attorney’s office in Seattle since 1997, and during that time she has prosecuted drug trafficking, cyber hacking and intellectual property crimes. She also helped train new attorneys on how to handle various cases.

Hayes was named Durkan’s first assistant U.S. attorney in 2010. She is a graduate of Cornell Law School and Williams College. The U.S. attorney’s office said that before becoming a prosecutor, she spent six years as a civil litigator at firms in Seattle and Washington, D.C. Durkan said she hasn’t decided what she’ll do next.

Alaska crude heading to S. Korea

By Michael Muskal Los Angeles Times

A tanker carrying oil from Alaska’s North Slope is heading to South Korea, the first such export in a decade, officials confirmed Tuesday.

The oil shipment, though considered relatively small, is significant because it focuses attention on the complicated issue of the 40-year-old U.S. ban on exporting crude oil that has been in effect for the Lower 48 states. Alaska was exempt from the ban in 1996.

The tanker Polar Discovery owned by ConocoPhillips left Valdez in Alaska on Sept. 26 and is expected to arrive Oct. 10 at Yeosu, South Korea, according to the energy intelligence firm Genscape.

The tanker can carry up to 784,000 barrels of crude.

ConocoPhillips would not directly confirm that it has shipped the oil, but in a statement, said it had entered into a sales agreement to export a shipment of Alaska crude oil for delivery to Asia in this year’s fourth quarter.

The company defended the move, saying it was legal under federal law and was done to take advantage of higher prices in Asia when compared to its usual West Coast markets. The company said the terms of the deal were confidential.

“We are entering into this transaction because during the trading period for this volume, bids from Asian customers were higher than bids from USWC customers,” the company stated. “At that point in time we calculated we could achieve a higher realized price for the crude oil after all incremental costs were taken into account.

“This will enable the state of Alaska and ConocoPhillips to potentially realize a higher value for this important natural resource.”

The company also said it would continue to focus on “our traditional, and most important, market” for Alaska crude — the West Coast of the U.S. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, about 2.7 percent of Alaska oil production was exported to foreign countries from 1996 to 2004, when the practice stopped. South Korea was the largest customer at 46.15 million barrels and the rest — 49.34 million barrels — went to Japan, China and Taiwan. As of April 2014, no Alaskan oil had been exported since 2004.

The United States in the 1970s made it illegal to export domestically produced crude oil without a license as a way to conserve domestic oil reserves

and discourage foreign imports at a time when the Arab oil embargo showed how vulnerable the United States was.

In 1996, President Bill Clinton amended the policy to allow exports of crude from the North Slope in Alaska that traveled on the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System to Valdez.

In recent years, however, oil production in the United States has boomed as new techniques including hydraulic fracturing have allowed oil producers to reach new sources of oil.

In July, U.S. oil production averaged 8.5 million barrels a day for the second straight month, the highest level since 1986.

That growth in production has put pressure on lawmakers to reconsider the ban on exports. Republicans led by some in Texas and other energy producing areas have pushed for new legislation.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, the top Republican on the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, welcomed the news of the latest shipment from the North Slope to Asia.

“I am encouraged to see Alaska increasing its participation in global oil markets,” she said in a statement released this week. “It’s my hope that Lower 48 oil will soon follow suit.”

Secret Service boss quits Associated Press WASHINGTON — Secret Service Director Julia Pierson abruptly resigned Wednesday in the face of multiple revelations of security breaches, bumbling in her agency and rapidly eroding confidence that the president and his family were being kept safe.

President Barack Obama “concluded new leadership of that agency was required,” spokesman Josh Earnest said.

High-ranking lawmakers from both parties had urged her to step down after her poorly received testimony to Congress a day earlier — and revelation of yet another security problem: Obama had shared an elevator in Atlanta last month with an armed guard who was not authorized

Secret Service Director Julia Pierson testifies on Capitol Hill on Tuesday.

to be around him.

That appeared to be the last straw that crumbled trust in her leadership in the White House.

Earnest said Obama and his staff did not learn about that breach until just before it was made public in news reports Tuesday.

“Today Julia Pierson, the

director of the United States Secret Service, offered her resignation, and I accepted it,” said Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson. He announced that Joseph Clancy, retired head of the agency’s Presidential Protective Division, would come out of retirement to lead the Secret Service temporarily.

Taking further steps to restore trust in the beleaguered agency, Johnson also outlined an independent inquiry into the agency’s operations.

That trust was shaken by a series of failures in the agency’s critical job of protecting the president, including a breach Sept. 19, when a knife-carrying man climbed over the White House fence on Pennsylvania Avenue and made it deep into the executive mansion before being stopped.

Republicans quickly served notice that Pierson’s resignation and the inquiry ordered by Johnson would not end their investigation.

“The Oversight Committee will continue to examine clear and serious agency failures at the Secret Service,” said the panel’s chairman, Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif. “Problems at the Secret Service predate Ms. Pierson’s tenure as director, and her resignation certainly does not resolve them.”

In an interview with Bloomberg News after her resignation was announced, Pierson said she recognized that “Congress has lost confidence in my ability to run the agency.”

She said she met Johnson on Wednesday and “after that discussion I felt this was the noble thing to do.”

Threats fly in Hong Kong Protesters say they will occupy buildings. China calls for Hong Kong to “restore the social order.”

Here’s something to worry about: A recent study suggests that middle-aged women whose personalities tend toward the neurotic run a higher risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease later in life.

The study by researchers at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden followed a group of women in their 40s, whose disposition made them prone to anxiety, moodiness and psychological distress, to see how many developed dementia over the next 38 years.

In line with other research, the study suggested that

CHICAGO — The Federal Aviation Administration said that despite sabotage last week at a suburban Chicago air traffic control center, air traffic controllers managed more operations at O’Hare International Airport on Tuesday than at any other airport. The agency said that by Wednesday afternoon, arrivals and departures at O’Hare were running above 85 percent of the average Wednesday air traffic over the past two months, and above 80 percent at Midway. Officials said FAA technicians are working around-the-clock to restore telecommunications services at the Chicago En Route Center in Aurora.

A Naperville man is charged with setting a fire Friday at the control center.

D.C.: Missiles for Saudis The Obama administration has approved a $1.75 billion sale of Patriot missiles and associated items to Saudi Arabia to bolster the air defenses of the key U.S. ally in the Arab world. The Defense Security Cooperation Agency announced Wednesday that the State Department had approved the transfer, which includes 202 Patriot missiles, test targets, launchers, spare parts and other equipment. It said the sale would improve the security of Saudi Arabia, a nation it said has been an important force for political stability and economic progress in the Mideast.

Some nervous Dallas parents picked up their children early from school Wednesday after learning that five students attended class after possibly being exposed to the first Ebola patient diagnosed in the U.S. School administrators urged calm. None of the children have shown symptoms and are now being monitored at home, where they are likely to remain for three weeks, the Dallas Independent School District superintendent said. Symptoms can include fever, muscle pain, vomiting and bleeding.

Student protesters sleep and wait at the entrance of the government complex where Hong Kong’s Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying’s office is located Thursday. Student leaders warned Wednesday that if the territory’s leader doesn’t resign by the end of the day Thursday they will step up their actions, which could include occupying government buildings.

acts” against public order.

One of the protest leaders, Lester Shum, of the Hong Kong Federation of Students, said there was “no room for dialogue” with Leung because he had ordered police to fire tear gas at demonstrators.

“Leung Chun-ying must step down. If he doesn’t resign by tomorrow, we will step up our actions, such as by occupying several important government buildings,” he said, adding that demonstrators would not interfere with essential government agencies such as hospitals and social welfare offices.

Chan Kin-man, another protest leader, said the demonstrations will continue as long as the Hong Kong government fails to give a satisfactory response to their demands.

“I hope people will understand why the action keeps on escalating. It’s because the government is getting more and more closed without listening to Hong Kong people,” he said.

The protests were triggered

by Beijing’s recent decision that

all candidates in the inaugural 2017 election for Hong Kong’s top post must be approved by a committee of mostly proBeijing local elites.

In a speech early Wednesday marking National Day, the anniversary of the 1949 founding of Communist China, Leung did not mention the protesters, but told voters it would be better to agree to Beijing’s plan and hold an election than to keep the current system, in which an Election Commission chooses the chief executive.

Protesters heckled Leung after he arrived for the flag-raising ceremony. Hundreds yelled at him to step down, then fell silent and turned their backs when the ceremony began.

As the protests have worn on, Beijing’s tone has hardened.

President Xi Jinping, who has acted harshly against any perceived threats to the Communist Party’s hold on power, vowed in a National Day speech to “steadfastly safeguard” Hong Kong’s prosperity and stability.

Turning up the pressure on leaders in Beijing, sympathy protests sprang up in Macau, a former Portuguese colony that China took over in 1999, and in the independently ruled island of Taiwan, which China claims as its own.

The crowds of protesters in Hong Kong swelled Wednesday, a national holiday, to tens of thousands, including many families with children, couples, students, retirees and foreigners who live in the city of 7 million.

Many thronged a six-lane highway in front of the government headquarters in the Admiralty district, while others gathered in the downtown areas of Causeway Bay and Mong Kok. “I came out today to support the movement. No student leaders or occupy leaders urged me to come out. I came out on my own,” said Pierre Wong, a 36-year-old IT technician. “I hope there will be democratic reform, instead of using the current framework.”

Associated Press HONG KONG — Raising the stakes in their standoff with the authorities, Hong Kong’s pro-democracy protesters threatened to occupy key government buildings unless the territory’s top official resigns by the end of the day Thursday.

The Chinese government, meanwhile, appeared to be losing patience. An editorial solemnly read Wednesday on state TV said all Hong Kong residents should support authorities in their efforts to “deploy police enforcement decisively” and “restore the social order in Hong Kong as soon as possible.”

And the Communist Partyrun People’s Daily warned of “unimaginable consequences” if the protests persist.

In the biggest challenge to Beijing’s authority since China took control of the former British colony in 1997, thousands of demonstrators have clogged the streets of the Asian financial center since Friday, demanding freer elections in Hong Kong.

Storming government buildings would risk inviting another clash with police like the one over the weekend. It also would put pressure on the Chinese government, which has backed Hong Kong Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying’s attempts to end the protests but has not openly intervened.

In Washington, Secretary of State John Kerry met with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and said the U.S. supports the “highest possible degree of autonomy” in Hong Kong.

He said he hopes Hong Kong authorities exercise restraint and allow the protesters to express their views peacefully.Wang said that the protests are “China’s internal affairs” and that no country would allow “illegal

women who were the most easily upset by stress — as determined by a commonly used personality test — were two times more likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease than women who were least prone to neuroticism.

In other words, personality really is, in some ways, destiny.

“Most Alzheimer’s research has been devoted to factors such as education, heart and blood risk factors, head trauma, family history and genetics,” study author Lena Johansson said. “Personality may influence the individual’s risk for dementia through its effect on behavior, lifestyle or

reactions to stress.”

The researchers cautioned that the results cannot be extrapolated to men because they were not included in the study and that further work is needed to determine possible causes for the link.

The study, which appeared Wednesday in the American Academy of Neurology’s journal, Neurology, examined 800 women whose average age in 1968 was 46 years to see whether neuroticism — which involves being easily distressed and subject to excessive worry, jealousy or moodiness — might have a bearing on the risk of dementia.

Their personalities were assessed using the Eysenck Personality Inventory, a commonly administered test to rate a person’s disposition, emotional stability and relative tendency toward introversion, which is associated with shyness or reserve, or extraversion, which is used to describe more outgoing people.

Those women who scored highest on the scale of neuroticism had double the risk of developing dementia compared with those who scored the lowest — although the link also depended on whether the subjects also felt subjected to long-term stress.

Police boarded a school bus and seized two toy cap guns from a boy, 6, they said was pointing them at other children. The driver alerted police when he saw the first-grader with what turned out to be toy pistols Tuesday in Springfield Township near Akron. Police said the child pointed the silver, Westernstyle cap guns at another child and threatened to shoot. The toys did not have any caps in them.

AROUND THE WORLD Bahrain: U.S. flier missing The Navy and Marine Corps are conducting a search and rescue operation for a missing aircrew member who ejected over the Persian Gulf. The Navy said two crewmen bailed out of a Marine Corps aircraft Wednesday when it lost power on takeoff from the USS Makin Island. The pilot of the MV-22 Osprey was able to regain control and land safely aboard the ship. The Navy said the other crewman who bailed out was rescued and is in stable condition.

Bahrain hosts the Navy’s 5th Fleet.

Canada: Wreck identified Experts identified a shipwreck uncovered last month in the Arctic as the HMS Erebus, the ship British Rear Adm. Sir John Franklin was likely sailing on when it vanished along with another vessel 170 years ago, the prime minister said Wednesday. Experts believed the shipwreck was either the HMS Erebus or the HMS Terror, both of which sailed under the command of Franklin on a search for the Northwest Passage. Stephen Harper’s office said confirmation was made by archeologists, after a meticulous review of data and artifacts observed from the Arctic Ocean’s seabed.

China: Pigeons inspected The 10,000 doves released Wednesday for China’s National Day underwent unusual scrutiny, each having its feathers and anus checked for dangerous materials, state media said, reflecting government jitters over possible attacks.

The symbols of peace were released at sunrise in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square in a ceremony for the Oct. 1 holiday to celebrate the 65th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China. Police said workers checked the wings, legs and anus of each pigeon ahead of time to ensure they were “not carrying suspicious material.”

$5 trillion future of flight Summit explores the future of aerospace manufacturing in the Pacific Northwest.

By Dan Catchpole Herald Writer

EVERETT — The world wants more commercial airplanes, Boeing wants to build them and the governor wants to make sure they’re built in metro Puget Sound.

That was the takeaway from separate presentations Wednesday by Boeing executive Randy Tinseth and Gov. Jay Inslee at the ninth annual Governor’s Summit

in Everett.

The two-day summit, which was organized by the Aerospace Futures Alliance, drew a couple of hundred industry insiders to Xfinity Arena.

Tinseth spoke about Boeing’s 20-year market forecast, which was released this summer, and the company’s business strategy.

Boeing is in the process of overhauling the commercial jetliner catalog. Several longtime mainstays of Boeing’s product lineup — the 737 Next Generation, the 767 and the 777 classic — either have been or will be replaced by new airplanes — the 737 MAX, the 777X and the 787 — by the early 2020s.

The Chicago-based company’s catalog is based on what

customers — mostly airlines and airplane leasing companies — are expected to be looking for when they go shopping for jetliners several years from now.

Boeing’s outlook affects what airplanes are produced, and that affects workers and suppliers.

In the early 1990s, for example, the aerospace giant asked Mukilteo-based ElectroImpact to prove it could make fasteners strong enough to use on a super jumbo jet — a class solely today occupied by the A380, a mammoth airplane built by Boeing’s rival, Airbus Group.

ElectroImpact delivered what Boeing wanted, but two years later the airplane maker said it wouldn’t build a super jumbo jet because it didn’t expect

enough demand during the next 20 years, said an engineer at ElectroImpact.

Airbus expected more demand and developed the A380, which it has struggled to sell.

ElectroImpact continues to supply the aerospace industry, of course, and on Wednesday the company announced it will build automated carbon-fiber– reinforced polymer machines that Boeing will use to make wing panels and spars for the 777X. The machines will be built in Mukilteo and installed in a new building next to Boeing’s big Paine Field factory. It’s a classic example of Boeing’s local ripple effect, and it could be just the See BOEING, Page A8

Air parts makers feel pressure Expanding manufacturing capabilities of other countries puts the heat on U.S. suppliers.

The Wichita Eagle WICHITA, Kan. — The commercial aviation industry is booming, and aircraft orders are at record levels. For suppliers, that means opportunities and challenges in a changing environment.

Together, Boeing and Airbus have orders for about 11,500 planes on their books.

So far this year, Boeing has taken net orders for more than 1,000 planes; Airbus has taken net orders for more than 700.

Overall, each has almost a decade of business on the books.

Boeing and Airbus have been raising production rates on their popular single-aisle airplanes.

Boeing is considering raising rates once again — to a record 52 a month— on its 737 jet.

“It’s a good time to be making aircraft parts,” said Jason Cox, chief technical officer at Wichita, Kansas, Cox Machine, where 75 percent of the work is for Boeing.

With rates increasing, Cox Machine is busy.

“It’s pretty exciting,” Cox said.

It’s also challenging.

As Boeing and Airbus compete against each other and keep an eye out for new players, such as China, there’s more intense focus on keeping costs down.

Another dynamic in the marketplace is the expanding manufacturing capabilities of

many countries. It’s no longer a given that parts will come from a longtime U.S. supplier.

Supplier challenges The good news is there’s plenty of commercial aircraft work for suppliers.

But “it’s a matter of whether the suppliers can participate

based on their current capacity,” said Lee Schwartz, a principal at Schwartz Profitability Group in Los Angeles, who is a consultant working with manufacturing companies. “If they can, they’ve got a positive future ahead of them. But it’s going to demand a different approach than in past years.”

Manufacturers, such as Boeing

and Airbus, are working aggressively to reduce costs and are applying pressure to their supply base for price reductions.

Boeing, for example, rolled out its “Partnering for Success” program last year, with a goal to reduce supply-base costs by 15 percent.

As a result, Boeing’s suppliers, such as Spirit AeroSystems in Wichita, are also asking their suppliers to cut pricing.

“It’s going to put even more pressure on the suppliers to survive long term,” Schwartz said.

“There are no more people to cut.

Their costs to produce are rising, just like Boeing. It’s not a pretty picture.”

Suppliers must be nimble.

They must innovate and become more efficient.

And they must know that in almost every case, there’s someone behind them waiting to step in to take up the slack, Schwartz said.

“The challenges get to be more critical in terms of delivery time, quality and so on,” Schwartz said. “I think they have to be much more on top of those areas because now Boeing (and) the primes are looking to find alternatives. So if you’re not meeting their schedules, if you’re not producing the quality, if you’re not producing it on time, you’re jeopardizing your relationship.”

The big manufacturers are looking at those kinds of metrics more intensely.

“You can’t allow yourself to have any slippage,” Schwartz said.

“If you meet them, that’s great.

If not, we need to find another supplier.”

Affordable car coverage remains elusive Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

biz bits

Too many people with good driving records in low-to-moderate-income households can’t find affordable car insurance, according to a new report from the Consumer Federation of America, which called on state and federal regulators to step in.

The association of consumer groups based in Washington, D.C., reviewed annual premiums for state-mandated liability coverage offered by the five largest auto insurers — State Farm, Allstate, Geico, Farmers and Progressive — in 50 regions of

the country.

It found that in roughly onethird of the nation’s lower-income ZIP codes, minimum coverage for motorists with a clean driving record was not available from any of the insurers for under $500 per year.

Quotes did not include comprehensive and collision coverage, which is not mandatory.

“Our research raises important questions as to whether state-mandated auto insurance is priced fairly and is affordable for many lower-income Americans,” said Tom Feltner, the consumer federation’s director

A special assembly was held Sept. 24 at Meadowdale Elementary in Lynnwood to dedicate a new Apple iPad Learning Lab. Funds for lab equipment were generated from a spring 2014 event hosted by a partnership between Jacksons Food Stores and the Dairy Farmers of Washington. A total of 16

iPads were donated.

In about half of the regions studied, there was at least one low-to-moderate-income ZIP code where every major insurer charged more than $500. In nine of the 50 areas, prices exceeded $500 in all of the lower-income ZIP codes.

Feltner noted that motorists who don’t do a good job of comparison shopping may be paying more because they are unaware of which company is offering the lowest prices.

“For most Americans, access to the best job for which one is qualified requires ownership of a car,” the report said.

Herald owner purchases six newspapers Sound Publishing Inc., owner of The Daily Herald in Everett, has purchased the Daily World in Aberdeen from Las Vegas-based Stephens Media. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

The deal also includes three weekly newspapers: the Monestano Vidette, the North Coast News in Ocean Shores, and the South Beach Bulletin.

A subsidiary of Surrey, British Columbia-based Black Press Group Ltd., Sound Publishing is the state’s largest community news organization, publishing 38 community daily, weekly and monthly news publications. It purchased The Daily Herald in March 2013.

In a related move, Oahu Publications Inc., another Black Press subsidiary, will buy two newspapers in Hawaii from Stephens Media: West Hawaii Today and the Hawaii Tribune-Herald in Hilo.

Amazon will close distribution center Amazon.com plans to close a distribution center in Coffeyville, Kansas, in February, but it isn’t clear how many employees the move will affect. Coffeyville Chamber of Commerce executive director Stacia Meek said Wednesday that Amazon informed her of the closure Tuesday evening. The Seattle-based online retailer did not immediately return email and phone messages seeking comment. Meek said Amazon told her the closure is part of a move to have its distribution centers closer to the bulk of its customers.

Sparkling winery planned for China France’s Moet Hennessy is betting on China’s taste for bubbly with the launch of sales this month by the first foreign-owned Chinese winery devoted to sparkling wine.

China’s appetite for Westernstyle wines has boomed in the past two decades, though the favorite still is red, a color associated with health and good luck. Sparkling wine consumption more than tripled from 3.7 million bottles in 2009 to more than 13 million last year, according to International Wine and Spirit Research, a British firm. During the same period, total wine consumption rose from 5 billion to 8.8 billion bottles.

New Corvette model cracks speed record General Motors said a new high-performance version of the Chevrolet Corvette can go from zero to 60 miles per hour in under three seconds.

The 2015 Corvette ZO6 is the fastest car GM has ever made.

The company said it can hit 60 mph in 2.95 seconds and can finish a quarter-mile in just under 11 seconds. It can reach 127 mph in one-quarter mile. A GM spokesman said GM believes it to be the first front-engine, rear-wheeldrive production car to break the three-second barrier. The Z06 goes on sale early next year and will cost just shy of $80,000.

Market Report THE DAILY HERALD

THE DAY ON WALL STREET Markets got off to a rough start in October as disappointing economic news and Ebola fears drove stocks lower. The Dow slumped more than 200 points Wednesday, the first day of trading in a month known for big market swings.

Nervous investors shifted their money to havens like bonds and gold. At first U.S. stocks were driven lower by word that German manufacturing had slowed.

The selling accelerated after a separate survey indicated U.S. manufacturing slowed as well. Investors also were skittish following news that the first case of Ebola had been diagnosed in the U.S. — Associated Press

Parts From Page A7

At Metal Finishing Co., also in Wichita, the biggest challenge is meeting quick turnaround schedules for suppliers, who are no longer keeping inventory on their shelves as a way to lower costs.

That means suppliers don’t order materials until they absolutely have to, said Ed Ball, vice president of sales and marketing at Metal Finishing.

At the same time, Boeing and Airbus have moved up the dates of when they need their parts.

So if the supplier has a hiccup of any sort, that means more pressure on Metal Finishing to heat treat, inspect and finish parts, the last stop before parts are shipped to the planemakers.

“The schedules have been pulled in so tightly,” Ball said. To adjust, Metal Finishing now has 10 customer service representatives who follow a job to know where it is in the process every minute.

A few years ago, suppliers wanted to know whether a job was going to be ready in a given week, Ball said. Then they wanted to know whether it was going to be ready in a given day. Now they want to know whether it will be ready by 3 o’clock, Ball said.

At the same time, Metal Finishing has entered long-term agreements with large prime contractors and other large aerospace companies to hold fixed prices for a determined length of time, he said.

Those agreements included fixed turnaround times.

The terms also apply to the suppliers of those contractors to help keep their costs down, Ball said.

uninsured, with more than half of those drivers coming from low-to-moderateincome households, said Robert Hunter, director of insurance for the federation.

Hunter said consumers can save money by going to their state insurance department’s website to identify insurers offering the lowest prices in certain ZIP codes for sample motorists. In addition, consumers should check complaint histories with the National Association of Insurance

At Cox Machine, most of the product is shipped to Spirit AeroSystems, which builds part of every Boeing aircraft.

Cox’s customers are more strategic in the way they interact with suppliers, Cox said.

“So relationships become very important,” he said. “There’s a lot more involvement rather than getting three bids and giving it to the cheapest person.”

They’re working to develop partnerships and find ways for the entire supply chain to work together to reduce the cost of an airplane, Cox said.

“Boeing is trying to help Spirit (AeroSystems) find opportunities for cost reduction,” Cox said. “Spirit will try to help us find opportunities.”

The challenge is to produce the same products at a lower price, he said.

“We all have to work together if we want the cost of the aircraft to be cheaper,” Cox said.

“Pushing the burden around and up and down the supply chain doesn’t help in the end. It has to be everybody.”

Cox is working to increase its efficiency and is forging relationships with its own suppliers. It’s putting in place pricing agreements with material and processing suppliers, Cox said.

“That helps us lower our costs,” he said.

It’s also researching adding more automation.

Cox Machine plans to add a robot next year to load and unload material in the machines.

“You don’t need as many people to operate the machines,” Cox said. “But you need more people to program the robots.”

The opportunities for suppliers are there, Schwartz said.

“It’s great to be in it,” he said. “That does bode well. But ... you still have to stay on top of your game.”

“Find the (insurers) with the lowest prices and complaint ratios, and call those and get a quote,” Hunter said.

Among other recommendations, the federation urged states to consider adopting nonsubsidized, low-cost insurance programs for lower-income drivers with good records.

“California has offered this type of coverage to good lower income drivers for between $226 and $338 a year — a quarter to a third of the average premium currently charged in a low-to-moderate income ZIP code,” the report said.

start.

Boeing expects demand for 36,770 new airplanes over the next 20 years, a market worth an estimated $5.2 trillion. Airbus last week released its own updated outlook, which is slightly more conservative.

The European consortium expects worldwide demand for 31,350 airplanes worth approximately $4.6 trillion.

Both agree that the largest demand will be for single-aisle airplanes, such as the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 families.

There are other companies and countries that want to break into that market. China is expected to need 6,000 single-aisle jetliners, and the country’s political leadership has backed efforts to boost domestic airplane production. Russia and Japan are also trying to get into the market. More-established airplane makers Embraer of Brazil and Bombardier of Canada are also developing airplanes to compete with Boeing and Airbus.

“Ultimately, one or two of these new manufacturers

will be successful. I think it probably will be later than sooner,” said Tinseth, vice president of marketing for Boeing Commercial Airplanes, which is headquartered in Renton.

In the end, “who decides who will be successful will be our customers.”

It won’t be an easy task for those upstarts.

“We’ve seen over the last few years, bringing new airplanes to the market is difficult,” he said. “It’s been difficult for us. It’s been difficult for Airbus.

And it’s been really difficult for some of these new entrants. What we do is a challenge.”

As for new competition in the twin-aisle market, “I can’t imagine that would happen soon,” Tinseth said.

Delivering the keynote address, the governor promised to work to keep Washington in the top spot in the aerospace industry.

Among the state’s good news this year was Boeing’s decision to assemble the 777X and make its composite material wings in Everett. Ahead of that decision, the state extended existing tax breaks for Boeing worth an estimated $8.7 billion over 10 years.

More work needs to be done, though, Inslee said.

to pass a transportation package,” something he pushed for along with the tax package.

“I remain committed to making sure we get that done,” he said.

Inslee did not mention legislation proposed by labor advocates to add job requirements to the tax package, which Inslee and other supporters said would keep jobs in the state.

But Boeing will still get the tax breaks despite announcements this year that it will move thousands of engineering and other white collar jobs out of state.

The two main unions representing Boeing employees in Washington — the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers and the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace — are pushing to add more teeth to the aerospace tax breaks.

“We want to incentivize job creation here in Washington, not incentivize jobs leaving Washington,” said Chelsea Orvella, SPEEA’s legislative director.

Trucks boost auto sales Associated Press DETROIT — Big discounts on pickup trucks kept U.S. auto sales strong in September.

General Motors Co. and Chrysler Group led the industry with 19-percent sales increases over last September. Toyota sales rose 2 percent; Ford and Volkswagen were down.

U.S. sales rose 9 percent to 1.2 million cars and

trucks, according to Autodata Corp. The sales pace slowed after a blistering August, which was the best month for the industry in eight years. But September’s annualized pace of 16.4 million vehicles — down from 17.5 million in August — is closer to what analysts are predicting for the full year.

While August was fueled

by Labor Day promotions and incentives on midsize

cars, September saw good deals on pickup trucks.

Chevrolet was advertising up to $8,500 off the price of a crew cab Silverado with a trade-in, while Chrysler’s Ram was offering zero-percent interest.

The second half of the year is usually stronger for pickup sales, and stable gas prices, employment gains and higher consumer confidence have more people shopping for trucks, makers said.

IN OUR VIEW | Departmemt of Ecology oil-train study

Put families and safety first The menace of crude-byrail was thrown into relief on Wednesday as the Washington Department of Ecology handed Gov. Jay Inslee the preliminary findings and recommendations of its marine and rail oil transportation study.

As Halloween looms, the nightmarish what-ifs scream for state and federal attention.

“Today, the health and safety of Washington’s residents are at risk,” Inslee said. “Oil trains are running through Washington every day that are outdated, inadequate and outright dangerous. This is unacceptable to me and I’m sure to every Washingtonian.”

The 2013 derailment of an oil train in Quebec and attendant inferno that killed 47 people

brought into focus the danger of transporting Bakken crude by rail, particularly with older DOT-111 tank cars, derisively called “the Ford Pinto of rail cars.” These aging carriers — around 80,000 are in use — are more likely to puncture than newer tank cars with sturdier hulls.

In July, three tanker cars on a BNSF train carrying highly flammable Bakken crude derailed below the Magnolia Bridge in Seattle’s Interbay neighborhood, inching along at only 5 mph. Bakken crude has become an everyday feature of the Northwest landscape, with Washington the fifth-largest refining state in the U.S. Shipments into the Pacific Northwest quietly began

two years ago. According to the Department of Ecology, Washington went from zero barrels a year in 2011 to nearly 17 million barrels in 2013.

“So sudden was the region’s oil boom that companies found themselves with scant infrastructure,” the Sightline Institute’s Eric de Place writes in an institute report. “Railways seized the opportunity to play a role traditionally reserved for pipelines: moving large volumes of crude oil.

The rail industry embarked on a breakneck campaign of building tanker cars as refineries and ports began hatching plans to receive the product from trains.”

Earlier this year, the Legislature mandated the oil-train

report and Inslee issued a directive in June to accelerate Ecology’s findings to tee up a priority list for the next session. A successful strategy needs to be two-pronged, state and federal. On Tuesday, Inslee sent a letter to U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx insisting on a one-year phase out of the T-111 tank cars and asking that trains carrying “high-hazard materials” not exceed 40 miles per hour in populated areas. On the state end, the emphasis is on prevention, preparedness and response, including funding for more railroad inspectors.

Risk management involves every conceivable precaution.

Put people and safety first.

As is the case when you have politicians overstay a period of service, not paying attention to their constituents and a disregard for proper use of funds seems to be the result.

Mr. Lider urges a vote for Mr. Bruce King on Nov. 4. I support his desire to make management changes at the highest levels.

changes that will work and make the system better. It’s only going to continue to get worse. The government’s answer of more and more rules is not working. If you haven’t been affected yet, stay tuned, it’s guaranteed you will be. It’s only a matter of when.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■LEGISLATURE

Harmsworth has good background I disagree with the Herald Editorial Board’s endorsement of Mike Wilson. Mark Harmsworth has a broad backround and has been exposed to many different jobs and problems.

He has lived and worked in an adult world and has a varied background.

Wilson has a very limited exposure to life. He has spent the last 35 years talking to people who know less than he does. There is apparently no exposure to outside, real life experiences.

We need a broad background of experience to do this job. It would take Wilson two or three years to even find out what people are talking about, let alone contribute to problem solving.

■■HEALTH CARE

Many benefits of self-insured plans A self-insured plan has many advantages over a fully insured plan. They are exempt from the state-mandated benefits. An approved Employee Retirement Income Security Act plan must meet federal mandates such a treating pregnancy and providing some benefit for mental care and a few other conditions.

Excepting pregnancy, the benefit can be limited. Such as requiring a specified number of hospital in-patient care for alcoholism and no payment for out patient care.

These plans are safe. The employer funds the plan and buys reinsurance to cover large claims. If insurance brokers can be prevented from trying to take a cut of administrators fee the administrative cost should be less than 10 percent of the total plan cost.

The Society of Professional Benefits Administrators can provide a referral to an experienced firm. While many administrators have competent personnel to design a plan and offer consulting service at no additional charge, large brokerage firms are needed to place the reinsurance. They of course receive a commission and many add on a fee for consulting. An administrator should receive a fee or commission from an insurance company.

There are many ways self-insurance benefits the employer and it is safe. The Affordable Health Care Act actually encourages selffunded plans.

■■SNOCO PUD

Change needed in leadership The Monday letter, “PUD needs King for sensible ideas,” from a concerned PUD customer provides a good list of projects and other concerns that the PUD and its commissioners need to think about.

A rave should be given to Mr. Lider, who compiled the list. The list may not be allinclusive, but it is a start.

I agree with Mr. Lider that a change is needed at the highest levels of management. A change of commissioners is certainly a good first step. This county has not replaced the incumbent commissioners in many years although there is an opportunity every two years at the ballot box.

■■LEGISLATURE

I read in the News of Mill Creek newsletter that the Mill Creek Pharmacy is to close. This is very sad. And, it’s happening all around us.

My company is caught in the same dilemma because of constant changes with Medicare, insurance carriers (because they follow Medicare guidelines), FDA and other regulatory agencies. It never stops. Just when I think we comprehend one rule or guideline the rules change, and not for the good.

For many years I have said I love what I do and I love helping people and I won’t ever retire. Sadly, the government has taken the joy out of my mission. I’m especially sad about the seniors. They are the ones who really need our products, but Medicare has made it so difficult and punitive. We have to turn people away because one “T” is not crossed or one “I” is not dotted in their chart notes from the clinic. This is not an exaggeration, it’s a daily occurrence.

After 25 years in business, I think there is a better way and it starts with convening focus groups of providers to listen to our suggestions.

We are on the front line and trying to run honest ethical businesses. I think we know better than bureaucrats in cubicles how to make positive

In 2007, two 55-plus mobile home parks were sold by the owner, leaving the homeowners on the brink of homelessness. Save Our Seniors, an original grassroots group of senior citizens in south Snohomish County, faced the second challenge of finding $9 million to buy back the park from the developer — forced by seniors picketing Lynnwood city hall — to sell it back to the tenants.

After contacting the Snohomish County Housing Authority, which decided to buy the park, we agreed to help seek funding. I have decided early on to seek the help of local elected bipartisan legislators and County Council members. Brian Sullivan and Hans Dunshee came into the fold.

Hans’ dedication to help the fight facing the seniors in Snohomish County came to focus. His lengthy experience in budgeting at the state level, plus the collegial and professionalism he demonstrates in his work in Snohomish and Olympia, makes him the living hero we call our own Paul Bunyan. Thanks, Hans!

Please re-elect Hans Dunshee, our experienced legislator to Snohomish County senior citizens.

Constant change Help with seniors hurts businesses a true service

Yes, indeed, ‘mistakes were made’

W

ASHINGTON — Julia Pierson is really putting “secret” into the Secret Service.

First, her agency declared that the White House fence jumper who made it all the way into the Executive Mansion was unarmed; turned out later that he had a knife.

Then the agency said the jumper was subdued as soon as he entered through the North Portico. Now we learn, from The Washington Post’s Carol D. Leonnig, that he led agents on a dance into the East Room and outside the Green Room.

At this rate of disclosure, we may soon learn that the jumper stopped in the Oval Office and signed a few executive orders while talking to Vladimir Putin on the red telephone.

Leonnig, in another blockbuster, reported over the weekend that the Secret Service covered up details of a 2011 incident in which shots were fired at the White House. Hidden from the people and their representatives: that the shots posed a potential danger to members of President Obama’s family and that it took the Secret Service four days to realize that bullets had hit the White House residence — and then only because a housekeeper DANA MILBANK found broken glass. Pierson was Secret Service chief of staff at the time.

The combination of these lapses, and the added insult that lawmakers learned about them from the Post, led members of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on Tuesday to direct a stream of insults at Pierson and her agency.

“Stunning.” “Profoundly inadequate.”

“Absolutely disgraceful.” “Outrageous.”

“Just mind-boggling.” “Gross neglect.”

Pierson, hunched, her forearms on the witness table, did not dispute these comments. But she argued that the fence-jumping episode was an aberration and not evidence of deeper problems. She claimed the agency had improved its culture during her 18 months at the top.

“This incident is an operational incident,” she told the lawmakers, who had returned from recess to hold the hearing. “Although it’s being addressed as it’s very similar or a side effect of some of the other cultural problems, I looked at this as a strict tactical concern. ... Mistakes were made, and the proper protocols were not followed.”

Yes, mistakes were made, including Pierson’s use of that Watergate-era phrase — three times.

Pierson’s bigger mistake, and the one that might force a bigger shake-up on the Secret Service than she intends: her failure to grasp the larger problem. The first woman to lead the elite law enforcement squad, she was brought in to change the frathouse culture seen in the 2012 Cartagena prostitution scandal and, earlier this year, in drunkenness episodes in Miami and Amsterdam. She claims to have improved that problem but she’s now allowing an equally pernicious culture to flourish — a culture of concealment and cover-up.

The agency’s failure to come clean about the details of the 2011 incident and the recent fence-jumping caper makes it look as if Secret Service secrecy is not meant to protect the president’s life but to protect an arrogant agency from embarrassment and reform.

Lawmakers offered various unhelpful remedies to patch White House security.

D.C. Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton proposed a higher, curved fence with “multilayered glass.” Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, suggested agents shoot to kill. Rep. John Mica, R-Fla., proposed “vegetation barriers” such as “Spanish bayonets.” He then held up the octagonal emblem of security firm ADT. “Ever heard of these guys?” he asked Pierson. “You could subscribe.”

Pierson defended herself with bureaucratic phrases about “robust conversations” and “comprehensive reviews” and “the totality of the circumstances.”

She sounded at times like a sheriff’s deputy reading police reports.

About the 2011 incident, she said: “The vehicle sped away and went westbound on Constitution, erratically driving and struck a light post in the area of 23rd and Constitution.”

About this month’s episode, she recounted: “They stepped momentarily into the East Room. Another officer rendered aid, and he was placed on the ground ... “ As problematic as her answers was her passionless delivery. “I don’t sense from you, Director Pierson, a sense of outrage,” observed Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va. “A sense of mission that you want to reform and correct this cascading set of mistakes that led to, potentially, a catastrophe.”

Pierson’s mild reply: “I’m sorry you don’t get that sense from me.”

Then on Wednesday, she resigned.

Army drops murder charges Sgt. 1st Class Michael Barbera could still be prosecuted for obstruction in Iraqi boys’ deaths following a review by a Joint Base Lewis-McChord commander.

Associated Press TACOMA — The Army has dropped murder charges against a soldier in the shooting of two unarmed Iraqi boys during a blown reconnaissance mission in 2007, but he still faces prosecution on allegations

that he obstructed the investigation and threatened a journalist’s wife.

The murder charges were dropped against Sgt. 1st Class Michael Barbera after I Corps Commander Lt. Gen. Stephen Lanza at Joint Base Lewis-McChord reviewed the

results of a pretrial hearing held last spring, The News Tribune of Tacoma reported.

The results of the hearing have not been made public.

Witnesses said the brothers were shot as they herded cattle in Diyala Province. Barbera was part of a team that was supposed to remain hidden for a few days to monitor enemy activity.

Five soldiers who were with Barbera that day said in testimony at a pretrial hearing in

April that they did not perceive the boys to be a threat. One, former Spc. John Lotempio, testified that the boys were 200 yards away when Barbera took a knee, aimed and fired.

The shooting wasn’t initially reported up the chain of command, but the Army looked into it two years later and declined to prosecute. Some of Barbera’s fellow soldiers remained troubled See DROP, Page B2

$520K for wrongful conviction

Thomas Kennedy served 3,424 days in prison for a crime he didn’t commit

By Brooks Johnson The Daily News

LONGVIEW — Thomas Kennedy has had a rough go of it since being exonerated and released from prison in 2012, but a $500,000 settlement should get him back on his feet.

Under the state’s new Wrongful Conviction Compensation Act, the Longview man will be getting paid for the decade he spent behind bars for a crime he didn’t commit.

“I’m looking forward to living life on the top half of the gas gauge,” the Longview man said Monday.

Kennedy was convicted in 2001 of raping his daughter, then 11, but she later admitted making it all up, prompting the court to toss his conviction.

He was released in March 2012 and now works odd jobs to scrape by and lives in a fifthwheel motor home.

Two weeks ago his fortunes shifted when Cowlitz County Superior Court Judge Michael Evans ordered the state pay Kennedy $519,973 for his 3,242 days in prison, the year he was registered as a sex offender and attorney’s fees.

Kennedy, 45, already has a plan for the money and for getting his life back on track.

“Pay my tithings, that’s an absolute first,” he said. “Then a quarter will go to my grandson’s

ROGER WERTH / THE DAILY NEWS

Thomas Kennedy, who received more than $500,000 from the state of Washington for his wrongful conviction, says he plans to start a business, invest in property and save for his grandson’s future. “I always wanted to own a home, a place to call my own,” said Kennedy, who was released from prison in 2012 and now lives in a fifth-wheel trailer in Longview.

future. I’ll start a business and get 20 acres or so of a nice piece of land with a dozen RV sites, some storage units and my home.”

However, it will be still be a few months before he can get it off the ground: The compensation money has to be approved by the Legislature, which convenes in January.

“It’s all baby steps, and the baby’s learning to walk faster,” Kennedy said during an

interview at The Daily News.

Gov. Jay Inslee signed the Wrongful Conviction Compensation Act into law early in 2013.

Kennedy’s lawyer, who previously said he likely couldn’t get money by suing state, called Kennedy not long after the law passed to file a claim under the new statute.

While he’s thankful for the compensation and a shot at being a homeowner and a business owner, he said there’s one

thing he can’t easily get back from his time at Stafford Creek Corrections Center near Aberdeen: “My sanity.”

He said his time in prison has left him with emotional baggage, as he suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder and is averse to or even paranoid of crowds, which he is addressing with therapy. Due to his offense — though untrue — Kennedy was See WRONG, Page B2

Artists take on UO over nude model class

By Mark Baker Eugene Register-Guard

EUGENE, Ore. — Leave it to local artists to respond creatively to the recent decision by the University of Oregon’s School of Architecture and Allied Arts to cancel a long-running weekly figure drawing session involving nude models.

“Who knows where a heron’s genitals even are?” Eugene metal sculptor Jud Turner said Monday morning, admiring his work on the edge of the UO campus.

So Turner, a graduate of the UO arts school, took an educated guess Sunday when he applied a “fig leaf,” made of yarn by his friend and fellow artist Janet Harris, to his 16-foot-tall Great Blue Heron sculpture that’s been looming over the corner for the past couple of years.

“When something like this comes up, there’s always a creative response,” said Turner, whose heron was commissioned and funded by the city and the UO as part of Eugene’s 150th birthday celebration.

“And the UO could have done that,” Turner said. “They could have said, ‘Let’s have a small community meeting or at least a dialogue between the university and the artists affected.’ ” The School of Architecture and Allied Arts’ art department has taken a lot of heat since deciding last week to cancel the free threehour sessions that were held on Saturdays and open to the public.

The department cited concerns about safety for the nude models,

and a lack of funding to keep the sessions going. The final one was held this past Saturday.

Turner said the “fig leaf” will remain on the Great Blue Heron for a week. The display includes two placards explaining what happened and encourages passers-by to contact Brook Muller, acting dean of the School of Architecture and Allied Arts.

The decision to cancel the sessions was “so patently ridiculous,” Turner said.

The decision also has captured plenty of media attention. After The Register-Guard reported the story last week, it was picked up

by The Associated Press and even landed all the way across the Atlantic in the likes of London’s The Daily Mail, a British tabloid.

And the story caught fire on social media and in the blogosphere, too.

Local artist Heather Halpern’s response?

She took one of the models from the Saturday drawing sessions, Lindsey Belleau, and posed her naked in front of Autzen Stadium.

Halpern, a regular at the Saturday Figure Drawing Group that has run in its present incarnation since the mid-1990s, photographed Belleau in various poses, including one in which she flashes open a trench coat at the stadium’s giant yellow “O.” That’s a play on the infamous “Expose Yourself to Art” poster from the 1970s featuring former Portland Mayor Bud Clark flashing a See ARTISTS, Page B2

Snowboarder dies in avalanche BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — A Tacoma snowboarder, climber and mountain guide has been killed in an avalanche in Argentina. Liz Daley, 29, died Monday in the Fitz Roy Massif region outside El Chalten, Argentina. Her sponsor, Eddie Bauer, confirmed the death in a statement. Daley was on a ski mountaineering expedition with three other members of the company’s snow sports team as well as two production crew members. The rest of the team escaped unharmed from the avalanche. Daley’s death was the third in a week involving prominent snowboarders and skiers on the mountains along the border between Argentina and Chile.

Seattle: Cause of Fremont fire unknown The Seattle Fire Department says the cause of a two-alarm fire at the Asko metal finishing plant in the city’s Fremont neighborhood remains undetermined.

Department spokesman Kyle Moore said the loss from Tuesday’s fire is likely in the millions of dollars, but the exact amount will be up to insurance adjusters.

The fire created a large plume of smoke on the north side of Lake Union and raised concerns about toxic runoff because of hazardous chemicals used for etching, cleaning and metal plating. Firefighters remained on the scene overnight to douse several flareups. City inspectors are checking the building’s structural integrity Wednesday. Moore said the fire that took more than two hours to knock down was one of the biggest fires this year in Seattle.

Construction begins A developer is starting construction on a 40-story building in downtown Seattle that will hold about 400 apartments. The Seattle Daily Journal of Commerce reported that the city issued a land use permit last week to Equity Residential for the apartment tower. The project at 204 Pine Street is located between the Pike Place Market and the downtown retail core.

Bellingham: Coast Salish Day proposal The Bellingham City Council will consider an ordinance to celebrate Coast Salish Day instead of Columbus Day. The proposal comes from council member Roxanne Murphy, a member of the Nooksack tribe who says Columbus Day is hurtful for many Native Americans.

The Bellingham Herald reported that the Bellingham council will consider an ordinance on Oct. 13 to recognize the second Monday in October as Coast Salish Day. In Seattle, the City Council will consider an ordinance Oct. 6 to replace Columbus Day with Indigenous People’s Day.

Oregon: Doughnut delivery van stolen

CHRIS PIETSCH / THE EUGENE REGISTER-GUARD

Jud Turner covers his heron sculpture near the University of Oregon campus in Eugene, Oregon, on Monday with a knitted fig leaf in protest over the canceling of figure drawing class at the university. The School of Architecture and Allied Arts’ art department has taken a lot of heat since deciding last week to cancel the free three-hour sessions. The department cited concerns about safety for the nude models, and a lack of funding to keep the sessions going.

Police in Portland chased down a stolen doughnut delivery van and arrested the sticky-fingered driver. As one officer in downtown Portland learned the van had been taken after its driver left it parked and unlocked with the keys inside while he delivered pastries early Tuesday, another officer spotted the vehicle in southeast Portland. After a short pursuit, police said the driver pulled over and the officer ordered him to put both hands out the window. As he did so, police said, “The officer observed a pastry fall from the suspect’s hands.” Sgt. Pete Simpson said Peter Leon Johansen, 34, was booked into jail for investigation of unlawful use of a motor vehicle, first-degree theft and attempting to elude. The real driver was taken to reclaim the Donut Land van. Police say doughnuts were scattered all over the inside of the vehicle but that was the only damage.

Oregon man gets 30 years in Christmas bomb plot

By Nigel Duara Associated Press

PORTLAND, Ore. — A young Somali American was sentenced Wednesday to 30 years in prison for plotting to bomb Portland’s downtown square while it was filled with holiday cheer.

Prosecutors had sought a 40-year term for Mohamed Mohamud, 23, in the 2010 plot that actually was an FBI sting. But U.S. District Court Judge Garr King said Mohamud’s youth and remorse for his actions helped lower his sentence.

King said he believes the actions of undercover FBI agents edged into “imperfect entrapment,” the idea that though they didn’t

by that and spoke with a Pittsburgh paper, The Tribune-Review, which published an investigation in 2012.

Barbera was charged last fall. His lawyer, David Coombs, called the allegations baseless and questioned why — if the shooting violated rules of engagement and was so troubling — Barbera’s comrades failed to report it for two years. Coombs alleged that the newspaper’s “hit piece” and congressional pressure improperly influenced the Army’s decision to file charges.

The remaining charges allege that Barbera threatened the wife of the TribuneReview reporter, saying she needed to tell him to back off the story, and that he tried to get a soldier in 2009 to tell investigators the boys might have been wearing suicide vests.

Barbera could face up to eight years in confinement if convicted.

bronze sculpture of a nude woman.

“As an artist, I am offended by the suggestion that participants ‘might have the wrong thoughts’ and that the model ‘might be an exhibitionist,”’ Halpern wrote in her “open letter” to the UO that she posted on her blog. “Such assertions demonstrate ignorance and intolerance of the artistic process.

“First of all, these are outrageous, unfounded claims,” she wrote. “Secondly, they smack of rape-culture sentiment, as they echo the assertion that women ask to be raped when they expose skin.”

Muller said Monday that

“This is a sad case,” King said.

Mohamud was arrested Nov. 26, 2010, after pressing a keypad button on a cellphone that he believed would trigger a massive truck bomb and kill people gathered for an annual Christmas tree-lighting event. But the bomb was a fake provided by FBI agents posing as al-Qaida recruiters.

The undercover agents made friends with Mohamud after learning he had written for an online jihadi magazine and exchanged emails with accused terrorists.

King disagreed with defense attorneys who made a last-gasp effort to portray Mohamud’s actions as those of a confused

teenager who just had his braces removed when first contacted by an FBI agent posing as a member of a terrorist cell.

Mohamud chose the location and timing of the bomb, King said, and when offered the choice to commit peaceful acts of resistance, he instead told the undercover agents he wanted to “become operational.”

Mohamud’s defense team said he will appeal the sentence.

The former Oregon State University student and his parents spoke before he was sentenced.

“The things I said and did were terrible,” Mohamud said. “The hardest thing is to go over the (undercover agents’) tapes, to see

myself, to hear what I was saying.”

His mother, Miriam Barre, begged the judge for leniency.

“Give him another chance,” she said through tears on the witness stand.

His father, Osman Barre, said he has watched his waifish teenage son become an adult in prison and mature in the process.

But King said Mohamud’s youth aside, the sentence had to both punish him for his actions and serve as a warning for anyone planning similar acts.

Jurors rejected Mohamud’s entrapment defense at his January 2013 trial.

The sentencing was pushed back a year after the government disclosed that warrantless overseas

wiretaps helped make its case. The defense unsuccessfully sought a new trial.

Lead prosecutor Ethan Knight has said prosecutors sought the lengthy term because Mohamud never wavered or hesitated in his willingness to kill people on the day of his arrest.

Chief Federal Public Defender Stephen Sady said 40 years would be “draconian,” and asked for King to impose no more than 10 years. Sady said Mohamud has shown remorse and has been doing everything he can while in prison to become a better person.

He contends Mohamud had no plans to carry out an attack until after he met the undercover agents.

in they kicked me out onto the street with nothing to adjust my mind.”

His best help has come from relaxation therapy courses he took while in prison.

“It helps out in day-today life,” he said, adding that dealing with situations in prison is a lot different than dealing with them on the outside.

Kennedy spends free time with family — two daughters and a 7-year-old

grandson — and friends, though he’s always scratching for some way to make money.

“Basically everything revolves around work,” he said.

Being an ex-convict has made finding a stable job difficult, though with the judge’s compensation order his records will be sealed and destroyed. This means he’s not an ex- anything, though he hasn’t gotten back to where he

was before being locked up.

“I was doing all right when I was arrested, I had a pretty good life,” Kennedy said.

He has long forgiven his youngest daughter for lashing out over his alcohol and drug problems.

“No need to hold any grudge. She’s a beautiful soul and it bugged her enough to do something,” he said. “It would be great if the world had more people willing to be like that,

to be accountable for their mistakes.”

If his daughter hadn’t come forward, he would still be in prison for another two years — or more, if he were civilly committed.

And though he occasionally thinks of “something stupid” to get him back into the structure of prison, he knows the road ahead has to be a new one.

“I’m excited for a new chapter to open in my life,” he said.

the decision to cancel the sessions was strictly a decision he made along with art department head Carla Bengtson.

Rumors have been circulating on campus and in the arts community that the decision came from university administrators as part of a larger effort toward sexual assault prevention on campus in the wake of three UO basketball players being accused of raping an 18-year-old student in March.

“Honestly, we weren’t really thinking about it in terms of the sexual assault discourse,” Muller said in a phone interview.

He said the school’s art department received several disturbing calls earlier this month in response to fliers posted around campus that advertised the need for new models who get paid hourly.

The department normally gets a couple of calls per week from people inquiring about serving as nude models, but about

20 a day were coming in after the fliers were posted, Muller said. “And this persisted for several weeks.”

Most of the calls were fine, he said, but some callers made “off-color” comments, such as “What do the models look like?”

Muller said.

“And we just didn’t feel comfortable,” he said. “I really trust our staff, and if they are receiving calls they felt were uncomfortable, we felt we really needed to act.”

Muller said there are no plans to reconsider the decision.

Artists such as Turner and Halpern, though, say the arts community should have been included in the discussion to cancel the sessions.

“Part of their job is to educate the community,” Turner said. “If you got a pervy call from someone, I’m sure the university has a policy for how to deal with harassing phone calls.”

Some have wondered why an officer from the UO Police Department

couldn’t be on hand during the Saturday sessions.

Will Mitchell, a local artist who has been the volunteer coordinator for the weekly group for the past year, said a UO police officer came by the final session on Saturday.

“He got an email saying there could be problems; there could be nudity,” Mitchell said. “But the session went just as usual.”

Mitchell said he is the one who posted the fliers in search of new models.

The school’s art department holds an annual call for nude models to pose for its regular classes for enrolled students, and some of those models pose on Saturdays, he said.

But by spring or summer, there is typically a dearth of models, he said.

“If it’s a problem, they could have just contacted me and said ‘Just don’t put up fliers,”’ Mitchell said.

“But they didn’t do that.”

Mitchell said he emailed Muller to talk about a solution, and also invited him

to the final session, but did not hear back.

Muller, who has been acting dean for a month and with the school for 11 years, said he has never been to one of the Saturday sessions and could not attend the final one because he had a “previous engagement.”

Amy Isler Gibson, who owns The Gallery at the Watershed near downtown, said Monday that she has been busy trying to help the group find a new location, and that there are several possibilities.

Isler Gibson said she has reached out to Muller in hopes the UO would partner with the community in finding a solution.

Muller told her he’d be happy to talk about ways to partner with the arts community, Isler Gibson said.

But not on the issue of the Saturday group, she said, because that had already been decided. “I think it’s a terrible decision. I think this is exactly opposite of what higher education should stand for.”

THURSDAY, 10.02.2014

Seahawks have a special duo Punter Jon Ryan and gunner Ricardo Lockette combine to form a formidable special teams pair.

By John Boyle Herald Writer

TED S. WARREN / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Seattle pitcher Felix Hernandez yells after an out during a game against Oakland earlier this season. Hernandez was part of a pitching staff that finished with a franchise-best 3.17 ERA.

‘We’re not satisfied’

Despite a 16-game improvement from the prior season, Mariners’ manager Lloyd McClendon and general manager Jack Zduriencik insist that even brighter days are ahead

RENTON — Following a three-and-out after the Seattle Seahawks’ first possession against the Denver Broncos two Sunday’s ago, a remarkable thing happened.

And what made the play so remarkable was just how routine it all seemed, right up until you did the math and realized it shouldn’t have happened. After Russell Wilson missed Marshawn Lynch on a third-down pass, Jon Ryan came onto the field and boomed a 61-yard punt. Broncos punt returner Isaiah Burse, seeing Ricardo Lockette closing fast, had no choice but to call for a fair catch.

Yes, he fair caught a 61-yard punt.

Later in the quarter, Lockette would get to Burse right as he fielded a 66-yard punt, though Burse was able to break the tackle and gain 15 yards. In the third quarter, Lockette leveled Burse immediately Jon after he caught a Ryan 58-yard punt.

Just about every NFL punter is capable of hitting a big punt if he wants to, but one of the biggest mistakes a punter can make Ricardo Lockette is out-kicking his coverage, allowing for an easy 10- to 20-yard return, or worse, a big, game-changing play. Ryan, however, doesn’t seem to be able to out-kick his coverage thanks to the hang time he puts on those big kicks along with the speed of Lockette, a former NCAA Division-II 200-meter champion at Fort Valley State.

“I don’t know,” Ryan said when asked how far is too far for Lockette to cover. “It hasn’t happened yet.”

There are a lot of pieces involved in Seattle’s punting game, from long snapper Clint Gresham to the blockers to the rest of the players covering the punt, but the combination of Ryan’s leg and Lockette’s speed, in particular, has allowed for the Seahawks to dramatically flip field position at times this season.

“Ricardo’s speed is really showing up and it really is a factor,” Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said. “At times in coverage, you See SEAHAWKS, Page C2

The ‘Heartbreak Kids’

The 1973 Cascade High School football team was known for breaking hearts with its second-half comebacks, but in the end, it was the Bruins who suffered a heartbreaking defeat.

’73 Bruins to be honored The players and coaches from the 1973 Cascade High School football team will be introduced prior to the Bruins’ game against Lake Stevens on Friday at Everett Memorial Stadium.

The introductions are expected to start about 7:40 p.m. The kickoff is set for 8 p.m.

By Steve K. Bertrand Special to The Herald

Pictures are supposed to be worth a thousand words. But the faded photograph of the 1973 Cascade High School football team on display in the trophy case in the Reg Scodeller Gymnasium proves that’s not always the case.

There is so much more to tell.

The ’73 Bruins, who will be honored Friday night prior to Cascade’s game against Lake Stevens at Everett Memorial Stadium, went undefeated during the regular season and advanced to the first state football playoffs ever held

in the state of Washington, only to see their perfect season end in controversy.

“We were so close,” running back Ross Noe said 41 years later. “So close.”

Beginnings When Neal Bartlett retired as the Bruins’ football coach after the 1971 season, Jim Ennis came out of retirement to coach the team for one year.

He then returned to his duties as the athletic director of the Everett School District and hired Gary Price as head coach.

Rams staying with Davis at quarterback Associated Press ST. LOUIS — Rams coach Jeff Fisher says that Austin Davis will be the team’s starting quarterback for the rest of the season.

Fisher had insisted that Shaun Hill would return as the starter as soon as he was completely healed from a quad injury. Instead, he said Wednesday that Davis is the starter beginning Sunday at Philadelphia.

The 25-year-old Davis has sparked the Rams offense. He has thrown for 754 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions.

utumn hunting seasons are on the horizon, and in some cases already underway, so it’s time to share state Department of Fish and Wildlife biologists’ expectations for the 2014 harvest.

Generally, the outlook for this fall is pretty good. Several mild winters in a row have done good things for both birds and game animals in the state, providing positive nesting conditions for game birds and waterfowl, and survival of young deer and elk.

Here’s a look at how selected hunts are shaping up.

Okanogan mule deer Okanogan County boasts the largest mule deer herd in Washington, and biologists say prospects are rosy, despite this summer’s wildfires. The buck-todoe ratio is excellent, there has been a good carryover of older bucks (if winter weather comes soon enough to push them down from the high country) and fawn survival has been at or above average for five years in a row.

But yes, fires burned 270,000 acres on the west side of the county this summer, and while mule deer populations have probably not been impacted significantly, their distribution most likely has.

Most affected by fire were game management units in the Methow Valley — GMUs 239 (Chiliiwist), 242 (Alta), and 224 (Perrygin) — where the bulk of winter range was burned. Biologists say hunting could actually be better in green areas adjacent to burned range, and particularly in older burns (including the 2006 Tripod fire) where abundant forage has grown up.

In 2013, the Okanogan County general season harvest success rate was about 14 percent, and the best rates came, in order, from GMUs 204, 215, 218, 224, and 233.

Next year, consider entering your name in a permit drawing for GMU 290 (Desert) in Grant County. It’s a quality mule deer hunt and it holds big racks, but preseason scouting and landowner permission is critical.

Okanogan County also has one of the top turkey populations in the state, with best hunting prospects expected to be units 231 and 242. Fire impacted the southeast portion of 242 this summer, however. The total spring and fall harvest in 2013 was 1,659 birds, down from the five-year average, but the days per kill figure has held steady at 10.

Seahawks From Page C1

get worried about out-kicking the coverage; we haven’t been able to do that with Ricardo when he gets off the ball so that’s a very big positive in the punt game. So hopefully that will continue to show up. Other guys do really well too at the gunner spots, but he seems to be unique. So we’ll allow Jon to kick away as long as we’re covering them.”

What’s even more encouraging for Seattle is that Jeremy Lane was one of the best gunners in the NFL last season. When he returns from a groin injury, he and Lockette could combine to give the Seahawks a punt coverage unit that’s almost impossible to beat, even if Ryan is booming 60-plus yard kicks.

“A lot of times you hit a ball 60, 65 yards, your net is sometimes 15, 20 yards back,” Ryan said. “But Ricardo always says to me, ‘kick it farther, kick it farther.’ When he has that confidence in me, and I have that confidence in him to get down there, I can just let it go.”

A season ago, the Seahawks usually asked Ryan to control his kicks to minimize return opportunities, and he did that so well that for much of the season Seattle was on pace to allow the fewest punt return yards in league history. This season, in no small part because of Lockette’s continued development as a gunner, Ryan gets to “let the leg out” as he put it after the Denver game.

While Ryan is often easy to

It’s combo trip time in the Columbia Basin, with top fall fishing available at Potholes Reservoir and some of the seep lakes, and eastside pheasant season opening Oct. 18. For those without an “in” to private hunting opportunities, the Royal Youth Boosters again offer reasonably priced access to 25,000 acres on the Royal Slope, in prime bird hunting country. Proceeds benefit youth activities in and around Royal City.

The program supplements the wild pheasant with pen-raised birds throughout the season. The costs are $300 for an adult season pass; $120

Northeast Washington Noted whitetail and turkey hunting in Ferry, Stevens and Pend Oreille counties, with the best whitetail populations found in GMUs 101 (Sherman) and 121 (Huckleberry). A step behind would be GMUs 105, 108, and 111. Top mule deer numbers are found in the Sherman unit.

Biologist Dana Base says recent moderate winters have provided a boost for area whitetail herds, and both harvest and population have been increasing for the past two seasons. That trend is expected to continue, Base said The fall turkey harvest in northeast Washington last year was best in units 105, 111, and 117.

Elk The best elk hunting in the state is found in Yakima and Kititas counties and, if the weather cooperates, this should be an excellent season. The Yakima herd numbers are about 18,000 animals, and the Colockum, north of Elensburg, about 6,000 animals.

Biologists say that a mild winter and low harvest last year mean an increased population this year, and that both herds are well above management objectives.

Elk managers have noticed an increasing tendency for hunters to fold up camp and head home before the second weekend.

However, good opportunity exists for those who hunt the last two or three days of the season, away from open roads. Rifle hunters might also consider GMU 342, which is new this year to the late general season.

More than 1,000 bulls are taken annually in southwest Washington, and prospects are good for the 2014 season. Best bets include GMUs 520 (Winston), 506 (Willapa Hills), 530 (Ryderwood) and 550 (Coweeman), according to biologists.

Pheasant Grant County, at 8,300 birds, was the top pheasant producer in 2013 with the best wild-bird populations found in the Desert Unit, between Potholes Reservoir and the town of George. A good mix of wild and pen-raised pheasant was available in Lower Crab Creek, Gloyd Seeps, Quincy, and Dry

overlook because of the position he plays, Carroll said he might have been the MVP of Seattle’s Week 3 win over Denver. And even if Ryan doesn’t always get his due, he does have the distinction of being the second-longest tenured Seahawk behind Brandon Mebane, having signed with Seattle early in the 2008 season. Ryan, along with Mebane and Max Unger, is also one of just three players who predates the Carroll and general manager John Schneider era in Seattle.

And a nice long, and yes, sometimes anonymous life as a punter suits Ryan just fine. After all, growing up in Regina, Saskatchewan, Ryan estimates he was “the only 8-yearold in the country who dressed up as a punter for Halloween.”

Dressing up as a punter involved Ryan’s mother hand-making a Bears jersey for him, but sadly he couldn’t get his hands on a helmet with a single-bar facemask.

But while Ryan dreamed of punting from a young age, it’s safe to say Lockette didn’t always envision making a name for himself as a gunner on special teams. And when Lockette first signed with Seattle as an undrafted free agent in 2011, he was too raw as a receiver to make an impact, despite his speed, and didn’t contribute on special teams to earn a roster spot. Now he is a big-play threat in Seattle’s offense, scoring two touchdowns on three catches, but more importantly, he has turned himself into an essential player on special teams.

On the rod and reel front, Potholes Reservoir boasts the best fishing of the year for a couple of panfish species — jumbo yellow perch and big crappie.

Resort owner Rod Meseberg said serious perch anglers are not keeping anything under 10 inches, and that a fair percentage of crappie reportedly are going 13 to 14 inches. There’s also good fishing for largemouth and smallmouth bass, and walleye.

Falls units. Try for wild pheasant in dense Russian olive thickets and cattails around Winchester and Frenchmen wasteways and ponds.

These are also good areas, biologists say, to load with non-toxic shot and combine a waterfowl/ pheasant hunt.

A mild winter and dry spring resulted in an excellent upland bird hatch, and should result in increased populations of both pheasant and quail (same areas as for pheasant, above).

For more info, visit the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife website, then click on “Eastern Washington Pheasant Enhancement Program” for release sites (non-toxic shot required).

Waterfowl Grant County, again, was number one in 2013 for both ducks (56,000 birds) and geese (13,000).

Prospects for 2014 are excellent, based on a large production of ducks and geese in Alberta, British Columbia and Northwest Territories breeding areas this spring, including a 72-percent increase in mallards.

Locally hatched birds traditionally carry the early season until the arrival of northerns in late October or early November, and this year will probably be no exception.

Opening weekend (Oct. 11-12 this year) usually produces good hunting in the Basin, normally about three-plus birds per person.

Better spots include the islands and shallow water on the north end of Potholes Reservoir, but lots of hunting pressure. Winchester Lake also gets plenty of pressure, but is a very good bet.

Field hunting on private grain fields in the state Hunter Access Program, and the Regulated Access Areas (limited access by reservation) Program offer public opportunity. Call the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife’s Ephrata Regional Office at 509-754-4624.

Blacktail deer Southwest Washington boasts several GMUs which, every season, are tops in the state for blacktail deer. In Lewis, Cowlitz and Wahkiakum counties, check

out best units 530 (Ryderwood), 501 (Lincoln), 520 (Winston) and 505 (Mossrock). Results are generally better toward the end of the general season, when wind and rain have improved hunting conditions.

Unfortunately the entire area is a confusing mix of private, Washington Department of Fish and Wildife, national forest and Department of Natural Resources land. The only answer is research by calling timber company access hotlines or by going to their websites. Obtain a map, if possible.

Weyerhaeuser is a major owner, and sells access to much of its land, including the popular St. Helens Tree Farm, for $150.

A few areas are also free to the public, but to obtain details, call Weyerhauser at 1-866-636-6531, or go to its website.

Other timber owners land has been generally open to the public, but there might be limited motorized vehicle access. Major players include Hancock Forest Management, Port Blakely, Sierra Pacific, Green Diamond, Olympic Resource Management, West Fork Timber, and Weyerhaeuser’s Columbia Timberlands, formerly Longview Timber.

For scattered public lands check out Washington Department of Fish and Wildife’s “Private Lands Webpage,” and “Go Hunt” mapping site. Also call the Forest Service Cowlitz Valley Ranger District at 360-497-1100, and the Castle Rock Department of Natural Resources office at 360-577-2025.

now involves finding an opposing team’s punt returner in order to warn of his ill intentions. He won’t get into specifics about what’s said because, “I don’t want to get fined,” but it’s probably safe to assume it isn’t nice.

“It’s different things depending on what’s going through my mind,” he said. “Normal conversation. It’s like, what do you say to a guy at work who you see every day who you totally dislike?”

Maybe someday we’ll hear what Lockette has to say, because he says he’d love to be mic’d up during a game so people could hear him as he sprints down the field on punt coverage.

“I’m running down there and I’m actually talking out loud,” Lockette said. “I’m like, ‘I got him, I got him, I got him, OK, OK, OK, the ball’s about to come, the ball’s about to come, I got him, I got him, I got him,’ then I bite down on my mouth piece. I’m really just watching his eyes and watching his hands, because you can’t see the ball, you can only read off of his body language. You don’t want to get there too early, you don’t want to get there too late, so as soon as his hands start to come up, I know the ball is near, and that’s when I take my shot.”

And who knows, maybe next week in Washington Ryan and Lockette can combine to force a fair catch on a 70-yarder. Because as good as that combination has been so far, both agree it can be even better.

“We’re just warming up,” Lockette said. “We want to be extraordinary.”

Titans’ Locker practicing again Associated Press NASHVILLE, Tenn.

— Jake Locker practiced Wednesday for the Tennessee Titans, and now the quarterback will see how his right wrist responds to a full session of throwing.

Locker isn’t overly concerned and expects to play Sunday against Cleveland.

“That’s the way I’m going about it,” Locker said.

Locker says he feels good and was able to do everything Wednesday, which he called encouraging.

Whisenhunt still wants to see how Locker feels Thursday after a full practice.

Palmer’s shoulder worsens TEMPE, Ariz. — Arizona coach Bruce Arians says quarterback Carson Palmer was seeing another specialist after his injured shoulder regressed following some throwing last week.

Arians says Palmer’s condition is “fairly close” to what it was when he first hurt the shoulder in the season-opening win over San Diego.

If Palmer’s damaged nerve doesn’t improve, backup Drew Stanton will get his third straight start when the Cardinals play at Denver on Sunday.

HUSKIES | Notebook

Huskies use bye week for self-evaluation, recruiting

By Christian Caple The News Tribune

SEATTLE — More than once in the aftermath of Washington’s 20-13 loss to Stanford last weekend, coach Chris Petersen referenced a need for the coaching staff to go back to “square one” during UW’s bye week as they evaluate the best course of action for the Huskies’ struggling offense.

But where is square one, exactly?

Offensive coordinator Jonathan Smith explains it this way: “For example, a pass concept. Well, ‘this is how it should be working after five weeks.’ We went back and started looking at those the last couple of days. ‘Is this really what we’re doing?

Are we emphasizing these detailed coaching points enough?’ That’s really what we’re doing. Then, again, the pass pattern — ‘is this just a poor play or are we just executing it not very well?’ And we’re going back and forth on each play like that.”

They’re also trying to help third-year sophomore quarterback Cyler Miles with his pass-play progressions, as well as trying to find ways to help him stay in the pocket longer.

And that’s not all on the quarterback.

“I think what can help him hang in a little longer is our details in our route-running and our pass-pro(tection) being a little more salty,” Smith

said. “That’ll help him stay in, because often times, that thing is squeezing and he needs to get out. It’s a group effort. All 11 guys got to sharpen up, and that includes us coaches. We’ve got to get him in better positions.”

The Huskies don’t have an opponent to gameplan for this week — they next play on Oct. 11 at California — but Petersen said Monday that in some ways, a bye ends up being more work than a typical week simply because there’s more time to get things done.

That probably starts with re-evaluating an offense that managed just 179 yards against Stanford.

And recruiting. Washington practiced Wednesday and its coaches now will hit the road for two days before reconvening for another practice on Saturday.

“I think it’s a big week in terms of looking at ourselves, looking at the opponent, cleaning some things up, recruiting,” Petersen said. “So this will be as much work — more work maybe — than we do even in a normal game week.”

Riva’s return near?

Senior right tackle Ben Riva has played in just one of the Huskies’ first five games while nursing a knee injury, an ailment Petersen said has been tricky to figure out. Riva returned to practice last week, offensive line coach Chris Strausser said, but again didn’t play when the Huskies took the field against Stanford.

It sounds as if Riva, who has been spelled by redshirt freshman Coleman Shelton, is nearing a return. But he needs to work his way back into game shape after all the time he’s missed.

“I think the biggest thing was, he was not really in game shape, ready to play against Stanford,” Strausser said. “But I think physically, he was the closest he’s been since the Eastern Washington game to be ready to play. Definitely frustrating for him. He’s a senior who’s started a lot of games around here, so for him to sit there and watch, I’m sure is very frustrating.

“He’s definitely closer.”

Strausser said senior left tackle Micah Hatchie played “a really, really good game” in UW’s 20-13 loss to Stanford.

“Unfortunately,” Strausser said, “he’s the only guy that had a really, really good game against Stanford.”

Extra points Sophomore receiver John Ross, who sat out UW’s Sept. 20 game against Georgia State but returned to play against Stanford, said his injured right leg is “still a little tight, but it’s better.” He said he considers himself 100 percent, and that “I’m going no matter what, and I’m going to do whatever it takes to help my guys out.” … Of Petersen’s decision to force Stanford to re-kick late in Saturday’s game instead of taking a free spot at the 35yard line after a kickoff out of bounds, Ross said: “I’ve got to make a play for my team.

That’s the only thing. I just didn’t want to let us down.

“With an opportunity like that granted, I should have made a better play the time I did get the ball. But things like that, I have faith in my guys up front and I appreciate Coach doing that.”

Associated Press The five wealthiest college football conferences have notified the NCAA of their proposals to provide more benefits to athletes under the new governance model that allows the Atlantic Coast Conference, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and Southeastern Conference to pass legislation without the support of the other Division I leagues.

The autonomy structure went into effect on Wednesday, which was also the first day for the power conferences to offer suggestions about what rules they want to implement. The NCAA board of

directors in August passed a proposal to give autonomy to the five major conferences.

The transition to the autonomy structure will happen in January.

Those conferences endorsed changes that would increase benefits to student-athletes, all of which have been touted by conference leaders for several years, including: ◗ Funding athletic scholarships that would cover the full cost of tuition. ◗ Guaranteeing multiyear scholarships for athletes. ◗ Lifetime scholarship guarantees that would allow former athletes to

McIlroy voted PGA Tour player of year Associated Press ST. ANDREWS, Scotland — One incredible month of golf was enough for Rory McIlroy to be voted PGA Tour player of the year.

The award was announced Wednesday and surprised no one. McIlroy won the award, which is a vote of PGA Tour members, for the

second time in three years.

He joined Tiger Woods, Greg Norman and Nick Price as the only multiple winners of the Jack Nicklaus Award since it began in 1990.

“I’d like to win a lot more in my career, and I feel like I can,” McIlroy said from St. Andrews, where he is playing in the Dunhill Links Championship.

return to school at any time and complete their degrees. ◗ Providing long-term health care and insurance to former athletes.

The conferences have also said they will review the time demands for athletes.

The Pac-12 says presidents and chancellors will explore how to implement the proposed reforms at its board meeting Oct. 27, including by each institution, conference-wide action or among the five major conferences.

Any rule changes that occur would not start until the 2015-2016 academic year.

junior Mckenna Landry gave the Eagles momentum and a 1-0 lead with a goal in the 17th minute. A cross from junior Alison Enell was deflected in the box right to Landry, who finished for the easy goal.

“In any sport when you get a lead it gives you that energy, especially on the road,” Davis said. “It’s difficult to win at Stanwood and getting that lead gives you some energy and confidence.”

The Eagles put the game away in the 72nd minute when senior Bre Morren scored off a quick

give-and-go pass from Mckenzie Buell, putting Arlington up 2-0.

“The second goal was huge because we got a little cushion,” Davis said. “... We just tried to be patient tonight. On the road we had to wait for our opportunities.”

Junior goalkeeper Kat Sanchez anchored an Eagle defense that has now earned three shutouts this season. The Eagles improved their record to 3-1-0 in league play, 7-1-0 overall. The Spartans fell to 4-1-0 in league play, 5-1-1 overall after the loss.

Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook is fouled by the Clippers Blake Griffin in an NBA playoff game last season.

Thunder coach: Westbrook ‘best point guard’ in NBA

By Cliff Brunt Associated Press

OKLAHOMA CITY — Thunder coach Scott Brooks isn’t known for making bold declarations.

He is not shy about Russell Westbrook.

“I believe Russell’s the best point guard in basketball,” Brooks said. “And that’s been happening over time. I’ve seen Russell every practice every game every film session, and he’s really put a lot of time into being the best point guard in basketball.”

Los Angeles Clippers point guard Chris Paul could argue with Brooks, as could several others.

But Westbrook’s numbers and overall success show that the statement isn’t far-fetched.

Westbrook’s Thunder beat Paul’s Clippers in the Western Conference semifinals last year.

Westbrook’s playoff stats were jaw-dropping — he posted averages of 26.7 points, 7.3 rebounds and 8.1 assists in 19 games.

And the Thunder have reached the Western Conference Finals three of the past four years and the NBA Finals once.

“I feel like I’m the best

safely pencil Robinson Cano in at second base, Kyle Seager at third, Mike Zunino behind the plate, and as far as position players were concerned, the rest was a mystery. This spring the Mariners will know a lot more about their team, and can spend less time deciding position battles and more time fine-tuning.

“The day the season ended, I was excited about spring training and the possibilities, because we do have a lot of pieces in place, and we have a lot of questions that are already answered,” McClendon said. “There are a lot more things we can concentrate on as far as getting this club ready. I’ve said it time and time again this year, we’re a little challenged offensively, and I think Jack is committed to going out and acquiring the pieces that we need, and we’ll see how that fits in, but I’m really excited about next year.”

And as McClendon notes, there are still issues.

As good as the Mariners pitching was this season, finishing with a franchise best 3.17 earned-run average, the Mariners would have easily made the playoffs with even a mediocre offense. But despite the addition of Cano, the growth of Kyle Seager, and the second-half emergence of Dustin Ackley and Logan Morrison, Seattle was again one of the worst offensive clubs in the American League.

“One thing that’s really

player on the floor every time I step on the floor, and that’s just my mindset,” Westbrook said.

“That’s kind of something that’s the way I played since college. It’s not just this year, and not just last year, it’s how I think when I get on the basketball floor.”

One might consider reigning MVP Kevin Durant the best player on the floor in most cases during Oklahoma City’s games, but at times during the playoffs last season, Westbrook simply took over. He had three triple-doubles during a five-game stretch and had 40 points and 10 assists against the San Antonio Spurs in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals.

Brooks said the 6-foot-3 Westbrook doesn’t solely rely on his dynamic leaping ability and speed. At age 25, Westbrook has honed a work ethic that has made him a leader on the team.

“Russell puts a lot of effort, a lot of energy into getting better,” Brooks said. “He’s demanding of himself, he holds his teammates accountable, and he’s improved. He’s

learned a tough position at an early age, and he’s done a great job of leading us at early age, and I think all of that hard work over the years is starting to pay off over the last few years.

He’s athletic, but his skill level is matching that.”

Westbrook’s weaknesses have been his high turnover ratio and number of forced shots and occasional unwillingness to defer to his teammates.

He acknowledged that the team needs to improve its ball movement.

“I think that’s key,” he said. “Moving the ball is definitely a big part of our improvement as a team.

It’s something that we made a conscious effort to be able to go into this year trying to do. So it’s something you should see new from us.”

Westbrook missed 36 games last season as he recovered from knee surgery. He said he was fully healed late in the season and feels even better now after an offseason of rest.

“I wouldn’t have played if I wasn’t (fully healed),” he said. “I wouldn’t have put my team or my body in jeopardy to come out and play if I wasn’t. I feel great now.”

interesting about our club, I think we’re a club that’s built for the playoffs, but now we’ve got to get ourselves to the point where we’re built for the regular season,” McClendon said.

“I don’t think there was a team in baseball that wanted to face the Seattle Mariners in the playoffs because our pitching is just so good, but from an offensive standpoint we’ve got to get better, because you’ve got to be good over 162-game schedule ... We’ve still got our work cut out a little bit.”

Which brings us back to Zduriencik and why this offseason is so important for him and the Mariners. Barring a stunning trade, Zduriencik won’t add a player of Cano’s caliber this offseason, nor will he re-sign a Hall of Fame caliber pitcher like Felix Hernandez because, well, he already did that. But what Zduriencik can do this offseason is the kind of fine tuning that could transform the Mariners from an 87-win team that falls just short into one that wins 95-plus games and is playing in October.

“We’ve been trying to get to this point the last five years prior to this one, trying to build it, trying to get a group of players who are gong to be with you, trying to get young kids to mature,” Zduriencik said. “We know how close we were. Were we disappointed at the end? We were very disappointed.”

McClendon makes no secret of the fact that he’d like to add a proven bat or two to his lineup — “(Shoot), I’ll take three or four,” he joked — and find

offensive help, whether it’s making a big splash by signing Victor Martinez or making a trade, or just making smaller moves that collectively can make an impact.

Just as importantly, Zduriencik and McClendon need to make honest assessments of players they already have and figure out who is ready to make the leap (D.J. Peterson?), or whose strong finish to the season is a sign of things to come and not just another tease (Morrison and Seager?).

McClendon was blunt in calling Justin Smoak’s season a disappointment, and Zduriencik didn’t mince word when he said Michael Saunders needs to do a better job of coming into the season ready for the rigors of a full season, so it’s safe to say players will be held to a higher standard after getting a taste of success.

From the top down, this offseason is less about patting each other on the back for a job well done, and more about figuring out how to take that last step to being a playoff team capable of making a run in October. Mariners fans, jaded and scarred by more than a decade of losing, slowly began to open their hearts to the Mariners once again. Now it’s up to the team, and especially Zduriencik and McClendon, to make sure those hearts aren’t broken yet again.

“Is there room for improvement?

Absolutely,” McClendon said.

“Will we get better?

Absolutely.”

Peterson to get ‘fair shot’ to make M’s Former first-round pick will get long look in spring training

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

THE HERALD

D.J. Peterson played 29 games for the Everett AquaSox in 2013, batting .312 with six home runs and 27 RBI.

SEATTLE — In their upcoming offseason search for a right-handed power bat, the Seattle Mariners recognize they might already have exactly what they need within their organization.

They just believe third baseman D.J. Peterson, 22, might still need a little more seasoning in the minors.

The operative word is “might.”

Club officials will monitor Peterson closely in the Arizona Fall League, which begins next week, and are already planning to give him a long look in spring training.

“His age and experience might be working against him,” general manager Jack Zduriencik said, “but this is also a pretty good hitter. You don’t shut the door on it. You leave it open and see what he does.”

Peterson was the club’s firstround pick in the 2013 draft and bolstered his status as the organization’s top non-pitching prospect by batting .297 this season with 31 homers and 111 RBI in 123 games at Double-A and Hi-A. He also quickly allayed any fears that he might struggle to recover after suffering a seasonending injury in 2013 when hit in the jaw by a pitch.

“It took a little bit (of time), honestly,” Peterson admitted. “I think now, I’m completely over it.

I’m good to go. I’m going to keep the flap on the helmet. But, mentally, I feel like I’m completely over it.”

Plans call for Peterson to split time at third base and first base while playing for the Surprise Saguaros in the Fall League. But he is likely to switch at some point to full-time duty at first.

The Mariners already have AllStar Kyle Seager at third base.

“I played a lot of first base in college,” Peterson said. “It’s a position that I’m acquainted with.

I’m very used to it. It wouldn’t be too much of an adjustment.”

It still seems likely that Peterson will open next season in the minors, perhaps at TripleA Tacoma, but club officials acknowledge he could force his way onto the big-league roster at some point.

Maybe for the April 6 opener against the Angels at Safeco Field.

“I wouldn’t say no,” Zduriencik said. “Coming out of Double-A to the big leagues is challenging, but he’s going to be in the Fall League. There are a lot of people who’ve been around him who think this guy is the real deal.

“We’ll bring him into spring training. He’ll get a fair shot. What happens, happens.”

Angels’ Trout makes playoff debut tonight

By Greg Beacham Associated Press

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Mike Trout asked Albert Pujols for advice on his playoff debut before the Los Angeles Angels stepped into the October spotlight, and the veteran slugger with two World Series rings had some simple guidance for baseball’s best young player.

“He told me to just be myself, and not try to hit that home run when you don’t need it,” Trout said. “Just keep that same swing that got you here, and go from there. (But) it’s definitely a bigger game, for sure. All eyes are on you.”

Trout reaches the milestone he craves most Thursday night when he runs out to center field at the Big A for the Angels’ AL Division Series opener against the Kansas City Royals, who must concoct a quick encore to their incredible 12-inning comeback victory in the wild-card game.

Trout led the majors in RBI, runs and extra-base hits this season for the major league-leading Angels (98-64), capping nearly three full seasons of electrifying play with a likely MVP campaign — and a playoff berth.

It sure beats last October, which the New Jersey native spent back home in a tree stand when he wasn’t watching the playoffs on television.

“Now I’m hunting a ring instead of deer,” Trout said with a laugh.

While the Royals are in their first postseason since 1985, the Angels hadn’t been in the playoffs since 2009, and several regulars share Trout’s lack of experience on the big stage. But Pujols has a vaunted postseason history from his time in St. Louis, and third baseman David Freese was the MVP of the World Series and the NL Championship Series for the Cardinals just three years ago.

While Freese was having the best month of his career in 2011, Trout was coming off his season in the Double-A Texas League.

Trout spent just 20 more games in the minors before heading to Orange County to stay.

“I don’t think I need to say anything to Mike Trout,” Freese said. “He’s been in the spotlight since Day One, and he’s going to be in it again. The game is better with Mike Trout in the postseason. I think we all understand that, and it’s exciting to get him in there and get Albert back in there.”

PITTSBURGH — The San Francisco Giants know what it takes to win this time of year.

The Pittsburgh Pirates are still learning.

Madison Bumgarner and Brandon Crawford provided a powerful lesson on the difference during the National League wild-card game.

Bumgarner pitched a fourhitter with 10 strikeouts, Crawford hit the first grand slam by a shortstop in postseason history and the Giants routed the Pirates 8-0 on Wednesday night.

“That’s crazy,” Crawford said.

“With all the great shortstops that have played before, that’s pretty special. I’m happy to be able to do it.”

After silencing a black-clad crowd hoping for another Pittsburgh playoff run, San Francisco will face NL East champion Washington in the best-of-five Division Series beginning Friday.

This one fizzled by the middle innings — one night after Kansas City edged Oakland in a thrilling start to baseball’s postseason.

Crawford’s shot over the rightfield wall in the fourth inning off Edinson Volquez put the Giants ahead. Bumgarner did the rest as San Francisco won its eighth consecutive postseason game and seventh in a row when facing elimination.

Overpowering one of the NL’s best lineups, Bumgarner walked one and threw 79 of 109 pitches for strikes in his latest stellar October performance. The big left-hander, who allowed only four singles, has thrown 15 scoreless innings in two World Series starts.

“It’s fun,” Bumgarner said.

“If you’re not playing, you can be excited and nervous and

Tigers have rotation, O’s have bullpen

By David Ginsburg DON WRIGHT / ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Giants’ Madison Bumgarner pitched a four-hit shutout, striking out 10 as San Francisco defeated Pittsburgh 8-0 in the NL wild-card game.

all that. But if you’re pitching in the game, you’ve got to try to push that all aside and try to make pitches like we did tonight.”

Brandon Belt drove in three runs.

Volquez was trying to cap his remarkable comeback season by sending Pittsburgh to the NLDS for the second straight year, but he couldn’t match Bumgarner.

The right-hander cruised until the fourth, when a pair of singles and a walk loaded the bases with none out. Crawford followed with a drive that kept carrying all the way to the seats above the 21-foot high Roberto Clemente wall to quiet the largest crowd in the 13-year history of PNC Park.

That was more than enough for Bumgarner, who mixed his fastball with a slider the Pirates couldn’t seem to figure out.

Pittsburgh, fourth in the majors in extra-base hits this season, rarely hit the ball hard.

“We got outplayed tonight,” second baseman Neil Walker said. “Bumgarner went out there, he did what he wanted to do. He put up the strike zone

and he made it tough on us.”

Bumgarner was helped by his defense, too. Third baseman Pablo Sandoval — all 245 pounds of him — flipped over the railing in front of the Pittsburgh dugout to track down a foul popup off the bat of Russell Martin.

Sandoval landed on his feet, a perfect symbol of San Francisco’s seemingly endless resiliency when the calendar flips to October.

Back in the playoffs after winning the World Series in 2010 and 2012, the Giants are looking to continue their everyother-year success.

Pittsburgh, on the other hand, was unable to duplicate last year’s victory over Cincinnati in the wild-card game that followed a 21-year playoff drought. Playing before raucous crowds at PNC Park, the Pirates pushed St. Louis to a decisive Game 5 before losing their NLDS. This year, Pittsburgh went 17-9 in September while taking the Cardinals to the final day of the season in an attempt to win the NL Central.

MARINERS | Notebook

Morrison unlikely to play outfield next season

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

SEATTLE — Logan Morrison’s strong closing kick makes him a candidate for regular playing time next season either at first base or designated hitter.

But he isn’t, at this point, likely to fill the Seattle Mariners’ need for a right fielder.

“I would say if we want to try to maximize our potential to keep him healthy,” manager Lloyd McClendon said, “the outfield would not be an option.”

Morrison, 27, is eligible for arbitration this winter after making $1.75 million this season, when he batted .262 with 11 homers and 38 RBI in 99 games. He played 10 games in the outfield.

“I think he really turned it on, offensively, late in the season,”

McClendon said.

“You’re intrigued. You wish he could have stayed healthy all year, and you wonder what those numbers would have been.”

Morrison missed nearly two months because of a hamstring injury but batted .321 over his final 51 games with 13 doubles, six homers and 21 RBI.

Seeking a pitcher The Mariners are also in the market for a starting pitcher, Mariners general manager Jack Zduriencik said, after patching together their rotation for much of the season because of numerous injuries.

Veteran right-hander Chris Young is a free agent, which leaves the club with a projected rotation of Felix Hernandez, Hisashi Iwakuma, James Paxton, Roenis Elias and Taijuan Walker.

They also have Danny Hultzen, once viewed as their top pitching

prospect, returning from major shoulder surgery — although his innings will be limited after missing all of this season.

Iwakuma, Paxton, Walker and Elias also missed time this season because of injuries.

Retaining Morales The Mariners also appear lukewarm to the idea of retaining DH/ first baseman Kendrys Morales, who recently said he’d bypass the opportunity to become a free agent if he can get an acceptable multiyear contract.

Morales, 31, batted just .207 with seven homers and 24 RBI in 59 games after the Mariners reacquired him from Minnesota in a July 24 deal for minor-league reliever Stephen Pryor.

“We’ll see,” Zduriencik said.

“Whenever you talk about any player on your club, the answer is always, ‘What are your options?’ We’re going to be open to everything.”

Associated Press

BALTIMORE — The Detroit Tigers’ starting pitchers in the first three games of the AL Division Series have a combined 329 wins, three Cy Young Awards and 35 games of postseason experience.

Baltimore’s starters carry less impressive credentials, yet they don’t necessarily have to outpitch their Detroit counterparts for the Orioles to advance.

All they have to do is keep it close, then hand the baseball over to one of the best bullpens in major leagues.

Detroit (90-72) didn’t win as many games as the Orioles (9666), who ran away with the AL East title to earn home-field advantage in the best-of-five series that begins Thursday. But the AL Central-champion Tigers have been installed as a slight favorite — mainly because of their formidable starting rotation.

Max Scherzer (18-5, 3.15 ERA) starts on Thursday, followed by Justin Verlander (15-12, 4.54) and David Price (15-12, 3.26). That also happens to be a list of the last three AL Cy Young winners.

Advantage, Detroit?

“I think we all know what it looks like on paper,” Orioles manager Buck Showalter said Wednesday. “But there’s a lot of things that look a certain way on paper for us that we were able to overcome.”

Orioles right-hander Chris Tillman (13-6, 3.34 ERA) will make his first foray into the postseason in the opener. Although Showalter declined to announce his starters for Friday and Sunday, they will likely be Wei-Yin Chen (16-6, 3.54) and Miguel Gonzalez (10-9, 3.23), each of whom has pitched in exactly one playoff game.

If playoff experience and Cy Young Awards mean anything, then Detroit has a decent chance to reach the AL Championship Series for a fourth straight year.

“Pitching. That’s what wins ballgames,” Price said. “If we put up zeroes early, that kind of gives our offense a chance to kind of settle into the game. They know they don’t have to put up a threeor four-spot because we’re down.”

But if a game is close in the seventh inning, the Orioles like their chances.

“We’ve got a good bullpen, we have a good starting staff,” said closer Zach Britton, who finished with 37 saves.

Bruins From Page C1

A 1959 graduate of Edmonds High School, Price played quarterback for Rich Roe’s Tigers. Following high school, Price continued his football career as a running back for Jim Owens at the University of Washington. He was part of the Husky team that lost to Illinois 17-7 in the 1964 Rose Bowl.

“It was a pretty good defeat. The game wasn’t as close as it sounds,” said Price, who still has his Rose Bowl watch.

He majored in history and education at UW. After graduating in 1964, he landed a job teaching history at Edmonds High School. He also served as an assistant football coach on Roe’s staff. After three years at Edmonds, Price was ready to move on.

“I really wanted to be a college coach,” he said.

So he returned to the University of Washington, where he earned a master’s degree in physical education and coached the freshman football team. It’s ironic that Price earned an advanced degree in P.E. Truth be told, he’d never taken a P.E. class throughout high school or college.

“In high school, I played in the band,” he said.

“There wasn’t room for physical education in my schedule. When I wasn’t

By 1973, Price was looking for a new job. Thanks to Boeing, Everett was growing. Cascade was a big school — and it was looking for a head football coach. Ennis and Everett School District Superintendant Owen Forbes hired Price.

The new coach was excited about the Bruins’ prospects, especially at quarterback. “I knew I had two good quarterbacks in Bill Tri and Jeff Kynaston,” Price said.

After watching the pair throw at Everett Memorial Stadium over the summer, Price visited Oregon State offensive coordinator Jerry Cheek. Prior to his move to OSU, Cheek had coached standout quarterback Sonny Sixkiller at UW. Price wanted to learn Cheek’s passing game.

The Team Price soon learned quarterback wasn’t the only deep position on the Cascade roster. The Bruins were loaded with talent.

“We could control the line of scrimmage, offensively and defensively,” Price recalled. “We had a quick backfield in Mike Doph, Frank Archie and Ross Noe.” Price also had talented receivers in Bob Pope and Randy Bonson. The challenge for the new coach

season with a 14-8 victory over Renton.

Cascade’s next game was a 23-17 win over Snohomish — the first of many clashes between Price and the Panthers’ legendary coach, Dick Armstrong.

The games always drew large crowds, with long lines of fans waiting to purchase tickets.

One of the Bruins’ biggest strengths was their offensive line, which included Ron McDonnel, John Giles, Jeff Strom, Doug Butler, Dale Overturf, Tri, Bonson and Pope.

Because of the team’s depth, Butler was the only one who played both offense and defense. With a solid line in front him, Kynaston had plenty of time to throw.

“Not many people were throwing the ball in that era,” Price said. “We threw about 60 percent of the time versus other teams who threw around 15 percent.”

The Bruins went on to defeat Everett (22-14), Juanita (10-7), Blanchet (17-13) and Mariner (7-0).

In the process, they rose to No. 2 in the state rankings. Many of their wins were come-from-behind victories.

“We were dubbed the

‘Heartbreak Kids,’” said Noe, a veteran high school football referee. “Price told us the fourth quarter had to be our quarter. Consequently, we did a lot of conditioning in full pads.”

Butler, who went on to teach and coach in the Everett School District, said “we owned the fourth quarter. We’d often hold up four fingers to one another going into the fourth quarter. If it was a close game, we knew we’d win.”

If there was one game Price did not want to play, it was against his former coach and mentor, Rich Roe. The two squared off during the penultimate game of the regular season.

“I really wished we didn’t have to play,” said Price, whose team crushed the Tigers 40-0.

Cascade then wrapped up the regular season with a 35-8 victory over Woodway.

The Bruins were 8-0.

Playoff Bound Cascade next played Snohomish for the Wesco championship. The game was on Armstrong’s turf.

Cascade won, 21-12. To this day, the players say it was Price’s halftime speech that made the difference.

Such speeches were not uncommon.

“We could be down a few points going into halftime and Price would give some fiery, motivational speech that got us pumped up and we’d turn the game around,” Bonson said.

About the author

was finding a way to best utilize the abilities of two of his best players, Tri and Kynaston. Both were talented quarterbacks. Tri had been the starter the year before.

Price had a radical idea.

He decided to run a proset passing offense. The system, borrowed from Cheek, was relatively new.

The Bruins would need a good athlete to play tight end — someone like Tri. “I’ve got to praise Tri,” Price said. “He unselfishly made the move.”

Doph possessed outstanding speed in the backfield, but would have to learn to be a receiver.

Once he did, the Bruins’ skill players were an excellent match for Kynaston’s passing skills.

The Bruins’ offense was set.

On defense, the team’s defensive coordinator, Paul Lawrence, favored a 6-1 scheme he’d picked up from Phil Bengston, the former defensive coordinator and head coach of the NFL’s Green Bay Packers.

The system fit the talents of the Bruins’ fast, strong and aggressive middle linebacker, Dean Pedigo.

After beating Snohomish, the Bruins advanced to the state quarterfinals, where they faced Sehome at Everett Memorial Stadium. Cascade won 21-6 to set up a semifinal matchup with Kentridge (9-2) at Seattle’s Memorial Stadium.

At the time, there were just three fields in the state with AstroTurf — Highline Stadium, the University of Washington and Seattle’s Memorial Stadium. It was the first time the Bruins had played on an artificial surface, which called for different footwear. Price arranged for his team to borrow shoes from the University of Washington.

At halftime, the Bruins led 6-3.

Midway through the third quarter, Kynaston went down with a shoulder injury. It turned out to be a broken collarbone.

“It took a bit of wind out of our sails,” Noe recalled.

“Kynaston had led us all season.”

What happened next proved equally disappointing. Filling in for the injured Kynaston, backup quarterback Mike Oullette threw a pass to Pope. It appeared to many observers to be an incomplete pass.

As the ball bounced across the turf, a Kentridge player picked it up and looked to the referee. When the ref didn’t blow his whistle, the Kentridge player started trotting toward the end zone. Before anyone realized what had happened, the Chargers were awarded a touchdown.

Kentridge kicked the extra point — which proved to be the final tally of the Chargers’ 10-6 victory. They would go on to win the state title.

Meanwhile, the Heartbreak Kids were, for the first time in the ’73 season, the ones left with broken hearts.

By Seth Stevenson Slate

NEW YORK — As of Jan. 1 of this year, the 60-watt incandescent light bulb — that classic of the genre; the Edisonian ideal; the signifier that illuminates in your mind’s eye when you’re asked to picture “a light bulb” — was banned forever. Perhaps you prepped by hoarding a box of bulbs in the back of your closet. Or perhaps this news took you by surprise, and you now live in fear of the moment the beloved incandescent in your bedside lamp flickers out.

Either way, there will come a time when you’ll need to buy an alternative bulb. Don’t be scared.

I’m here to help.

First of all, I must stipulate: You adore your incandescent bulbs. I get it. In 2008, writer Ron Rosenbaum penned a heartfelt ode to the

“painterly glow” of incandescence. He argued that to ban incandescent bulbs was to “ban beauty.” The aesthetics of incandescence are amazing. The unfortunate downside is that incandescent bulbs are awful energy hogs. Along with their lovely light they also emit a ton of useless heat, which wastes electricity.

New bulb technologies are way more efficient.

Like 80 percent more. That’s a big difference.

Given that (according to lighting industry experts I spoke to) there are something like 4 billion screw-in light sockets in this country — the bulk of which remain occupied by leftover incandescent bulbs — the energy savings from a nationwide switch will add up.

At the time Rosenbaum was writing, the primary challenger to the incandescent bulb was the compact fluorescent, or CFL. CFLs are the size of a standard bulb but have spindly, spiraling

fluorescent tubes in place of a filament. They blink to life with a depressing flicker and often take a few moments to achieve full brightness. They cast a wan, sickly light. In sum, they are unlovable. The outrage over the incandescence phase-out made sense when CFLs were the only alternative.

Luckily, better options have arrived. Bulbs using light emitting diodes (LEDs) illuminate instantly with no flicker. The quality of their light is, to my eyes, far warmer than you got from those dank CFLs. And LEDs are even more efficient, and last longer to boot. Yes, they’re pricier, but LEDs are vastly superior to CFLs in every other way.

But which LED bulb is best? I experimented with a few brands to see if I could suss out differences (Ordered from my least favorite to my top choice): See BULBS, Page D2

WHAT: Rose “Dick Clark” Named for the American icon, this a magnificent Grandiflora of many colors. Every flower is unique as the dark red buds open to swirls of cherry pink and cream, changing to hues of light pink and burgundy as it spends time in the sun. Part of its appeal is the fact that it is a long-stemmed rose that holds up well in bouquets. It is extremely disease resistant and has a mild cinnamon fragrance. All of these fine qualities are the reasons that this rose was entered into a very elite group of roses in 2011 the AARS Award, an All American Rose Selection winner, honoring the best of the best.

SUN OR SHADE: Full sun, at least six hours a day, is needed for full coloration and bloom quality.

SIZE: Expect this rose to get to at least 5 feet in height.

Finally Bulb 14.5 watts, 800 lumens The Finally bulb uses induction — a technology that traces its roots back to Nikola Tesla. (You can read about it at finallybulbs. com/acandescence.) Using induction to produce light is nothing new, but in the past it tended to require

an apparatus too large to fit inside a standard light bulb form. The Finally Bulb managed to shrink the induction unit down.

Though the Finally bulb is very energy efficient when compared to an incandescent, it’s a bit less efficient than an LED. At 14.5 watts, and a lumens-to-watt ratio of 55, it’s more in line with a CFL. It also contains traces of mercury, while LEDs don’t.

Given these drawbacks, why am I bothering to mention the Finally bulb?

Because its light quality is superb. Rosy pink. Toasty enough to warm even Ron

You won’t go wrong buying one of my recommended LED bulbs now.

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

LIVING SMART | Angie Hicks

How garage door professionals do their work I

t’s easy to ignore your garage door. But it’s a bad idea, because a broken overhead door is more than a hassle. It’s a danger.

Your garage door is generally your home’s largest moving object, and possibly its hardest working component. The average electric opener raises and lowers the 150- to 250pound door more than a thousand times a year.

To ensure that your system operates smoothly, quietly and safely, it’s wise to inspect it periodically, as often as monthly.

Here’s what garage door pros who’ve earned top ratings from Angie’s List

members recommend: Evaluate visually: Make sure springs aren’t rusty, broken or on the verge of breaking. (Be cautious around the springs, as they are under extreme tension. Unless you really know what you’re doing, leave repair, replacement or adjusting of springs to a pro.) Look for loose fasteners, worn tracks and hinges, frayed cables or crooked roller wheels.

Some rollers need to be replaced after three or four years. Springs typically last five to 10 years, depending on the amount of usage.

Test the automatic reversal system: Required

by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission since 1991, this feature causes the door to immediately stop and return to the open position when it detects an obstruction. To test your door’s auto-stop feature, place an object, such as a cinder block, in the path of the closing door. When the door contacts the object, it should quickly reverse itself.

Test the infrared motion system: This feature, about six inches off the ground, should — if an obstruction moves within range — cause a closing door to stop and reverse itself.

Test the emergency manual release: This is a bright red handle that hangs from a rope. If the door were to malfunction or the system lose power during an outage, you should be able to pull the release and move the door up and down on your own.

However, if the door won’t move easily, don’t force it. Call a pro instead.

Likewise, call an expert if the door gets stuck in a partially open, crooked position. You don’t want the door to crash down should the spring system be unable to counterbalance the weight.

Tighten loose bolts and

lubricate moving parts: Use garage door lubricant, silicone spray or powdered graphite on rollers, hinges and springs. Every three to four years, wipe springs with motor oil. (But avoid lubricating old, rusty springs because they could break.) Wipe the door opener chain with a light oil, as spraying may make a mess.

To hire a pro for an annual inspection and tune-up, expect to pay $100 to $120. Angie’s List members report paying between $100 and $300 for garage door repairs, such as roller or spring replacement.

Service after hours or on

weekends might add $100 to $150.

The cost to install a new door ranges from $700 to $1,500 or more, depending on size and materials.

Insulation and windows add to the price. An opener system adds $350 to $500.

When hiring a garage door service provider, look for companies with good consumer ratings, who provide proof of insurance and appropriate licensing, and who have an established location.

Q: I’m clearing out a friend’s house, and found an 8-inch-high black figural decanter. The figure is wearing a cloak and wide-brim hat and holding a red torch. The stopper is the top of the hat. The only marking on the bottom is “Wade, England.” Can you give me any information about this decanter?

A: Your decanter is called “The Don,” made for Sandeman port and sherry. The Don is holding a glass of wine, not a torch, and he’s wearing a black cape similar to those worn

by Portuguese university students. The image first appeared on posters made for Sandeman by George

Massiot Brown in 1928 and has been used in Sandeman ads and on bottle labels for many years. The

company claims it was “the very first iconic logo for a wine.” Sandeman was founded in London by George Sandeman in 1790 and still is in business. The Wade group of potteries was founded in Staffordshire, England, in 1810. The pottery still is in business, now as Wade Ceramics Ltd. of Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England.

Wade made your decanter in about 1960. Figural decanters of The Don were also made by Royal Doulton and Wedgwood.

The value of your decanter is about $15. Bottles by the other more famous makers sell for about $25.

Q: I have an iron doorstop shaped like a stagecoach pulled by two horses. There are two coachmen, one sitting in front holding the reigns and one in the

in London in about 1857.

Sometime after 1879, when Louis died and his son, Harris, took over the business, the name of the company became Harris Lebus. It made quality furniture inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement.

During World War I, the company made airplanes, gliders, tent pins and other military equipment.

Furniture manufacturing resumed after the war. During World War II, production switched to munitions, and the factory was involved in a top secret government project. Two or three wooden tanks, exact replicas of Sherman tanks, were built. They were meant to be used as decoys to fool German bombers. Harris Lebus became a public company in 1947 and later made inexpensive furniture using chip board and other woods. The company went out of business in 1969.

Q: I have a bronze sculpture of a chubby Greek god sitting on a donkey.

The god has a wreath on his head and is carrying an animal pelt. It was acquired by one of my relatives, who said he was the first Allied officer to enter Hitler’s quarters at Berchtesgaden in the Bavarian Alps. It came from Hitler’s long desk in front of the large window overlooking the front of the building.

The sculpture is 101⁄2 inches high and is mounted on marble. What is it worth?

A: Hitler’s quarters were bombed by the British and burned by retreating SS troops before Allied troops entered. If you can prove the bronze sculpture came from Hitler’s desk, it will be of interest to collectors.

DAILY CROSSWORD

Consider coasting as a quality of life issue Adapted from a recent online discussion.

Hi, Carolyn: Is it OK to work your butt off during school, get a great job, make good enough money, and then just coast off that? I’m happy, but I feel a little lazy, too. I’m not motivated to make any more money since I’m comfortable, and the way my company is set up, there’s nowhere to be promoted.

My modus operandi has always been to push myself like crazy, so it feels like I’m cheating somehow.

I realize this is a bit of a philosophical as opposed to practical problem, but would love your input.

— Relaxing vs. Giving Up? Why not turn your motivation, or just your guilt, toward something outside of work?

I’d like to be agnostic on coasting, but people seem to feel more fulfilled with a passion. It doesn’t have to be a passion for work, though; I think we’re more sold on that culturally than is good for us anyway.

It also doesn’t have to be an instant “I love to do X!,” followed by signing up for X this weekend.

If anything, achievers need a little time to figure out what moves them after all those years of external goals.

So give yourself that time, look

CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT around, try things on.

Re: Coasting: I used to think the same thing about myself. Now I think of it as a CHOICE I made about my quality of life. I leave work at 5 p.m. and don’t give it another thought until 8 a.m. That leaves me time for what I find fulfilling and important— spending time with husband and dog, going out with friends, taking on a regular volunteer commitment, doing sports.

When I finally let go of my old expectations for myself, being comfortable and happy is a lot more fun than always trying to achieve that next illusive thing.

— Anonymous Hear, hear.

Lock up medications to ensure kids’ safety

THE NEW YORK TIMES CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Abby: You missed the chance to communicate a life-or-death message to your readers when you answered a letter from an “Ohio Grandma” (July 14).

Your reply understated the importance of storing medications properly and safely. And why didn’t those meds have safety lids? Putting them in a suitcase is not enough. — Mom Of A Toddler In New Jersey Dear Mom: I was scolded for not placing more emphasis on the safety issue. However, the question I was asked was, “Are we obligated to help with more of the medical expenses (for the ER visit) because we have already helped (contributed several hundred dollars) and I don’t think it’s our job to teach our grandchild boundaries?” So that was the issue on which I focused. Read on: Dear Abby: You dropped the ball. No 3-year-old will respect a closed door all of the time. Grandma and Grandpa are responsible for the safe-keeping of their meds while in the child’s and even the grandparents’ home. Bottles that rattle and pretty colors in a bottle that look like candy will attract any little kid.

Grandma and Grandpa should be happy they aren’t helping to pay for a funeral instead of an ER visit. Here are the “rules”: 1. All medications should be in kid-proof containers.

2. All medications should be kept out of a child’s climbing area.

3. Post Poison Control numbers on the fridge.

4. Use the original container (NOT one of those daily dosage containers) and know how many pills are in it.

5. NEVER tell the kids that medication is candy!

DEAR ABBY 6. You are the adult.

Don’t expect any child — or teen — to respect your private property when it comes to medication. — Mesquite, Texas, Grandma Dear Abby: “Ohio Grandma’s” story of an emergency room visit for suspected medication poisoning is all too common.

In 2011, 67,700 toddlers were seen for accidental medication exposure. Of these, 12,390 required hospitalization. Children 13 to 24 months of age accounted for 68 percent of these visits. In ER visits where information was obtained, 38 percent involved grandparents’ medications, 31 percent the mother’s medications, 12 percent a sibling’s, 8 percent the father’s and 5 percent an aunt’s or uncle’s medication.

Family members MUST take precautions to keep their meds out of children’s hands. I keep mine under lock and key with the key in my possession whenever I visit my grandchildren.

While I agree with you that children should be taught boundaries and to respect the possessions of others, I believe we have a responsibility to provide a safe environment, especially when we are visiting or when children are visiting us. The consequences of failing to do that can be tragic. — Pediatrician And Grandmother In Maine Universal Uclick

Among Thursday’s best bets on television: “The Vampire Diaries” picks up four months after Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and Bonnie (Kat Graham) sacrificed themselves to save their loved ones. 8 p.m., The CW. “Gracepoint” is an adaptation of the highly acclaimed British crime saga “Broadchurch.” David Tennant and Anna Gunn play cops assigned to a murder case that shatters the calm of a small coastal town in Northern California. 9 p.m., Fox. “Bad Judge”? Bad show. Next case, bailiff. 9 p.m., NBC. The gimmicky new sitcom love story, “A to Z,” based on the alphabet is bound to do poorly, numbers-wise. 9:30 p.m., NBC. Also returning: “Reign,” 9 p.m., CW. From Herald news services

TODAY IN HISTORY Today’s highlight: On Oct. 2, 1944, German troops crushed the two-monthold Warsaw Uprising, during which a quarter of a million people were killed.

On this date: In 1939, the Benny Goodman Sextet (which included Lionel Hampton) made their first recording, “Flying Home,” for Columbia.

In 1950, the comic strip “Peanuts,” created by Charles M. Schulz, was syndicated to seven newspapers.

Jeffrey Tambor the best part of ‘Transparent’

By Mary McNamara Los Angeles Times

Sometimes a slow start pays off.

Netflix may have overshadowed Amazon’s entrance into the world of original-content “television,” but the site formerly known as a bookstore is stepping into the klieg lights and undoubtedly onto the red carpet with Jill Soloway’s “Transparent.”

Debuting last year as part of Amazon’s rather gimmicky pilot process (where viewers vote on which shows should become series), “Transparent” combines the “House of Cards”-like thrill of watching an established star do breathtaking work with the new-world fearlessness of “Orange Is the New Black.”

Centered on a career-redefining performance by Jeffrey Tambor as a retired professor

finally allowing himself to live his true life as a woman, the halfhour, 10-episode series is, quite simply, astonishing to watch.

Soloway (“Six Feet Under,” “The United States of Tara”) is working somewhat from personal experience — her father came out as transgender — but that feels less important than her big heart and gimlet eye. From the moment it opens, “Transparent,” being billed as a “dark comedy,” plants itself in familial and environmental reality.

In the leafy hills near Hollywood, by the “shores” of Silver Lake, dwell the various members of the Pfefferman family.

Sarah (Amy Landecker) is the high-strung, super-organized mom in denial about her mortifyingly lifeless marriage; Ali (Gaby Hoffman) is still trying to rock the dreamy waif persona; and Josh (Jay Duplass) is

SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY 50 years ago (1964) Mary Sloan, children’s librarian at the Everett Public Library, announced the first of the fall season Story Hours for this Saturday morning. As usual, Sloan suggested that children be no younger than kindergarten age, and the small one be accompanied by an adult.

Plans for the annual smorgasbord were made when the Everett High School Band Mothers Club held its first fall meeting recently. Marjorie Crull was named chairwoman of the smorgasbord, which was scheduled for Nov. 10 in the high school cafeteria. Band director Jack Potter discussed band activities.

a successful record producer who sleeps with his lovely young clients.

“Transparent’s” biggest flaw is Soloway’s determination to give each of her “children” equal attention, which means everyone’s in some state of crisis or another and they all talk about it way too much.

Whatever harm that brings is more than compensated for by the slow and quiet miracle of Tambor’s Mort, the Pfefferman patriarch who is transitioning to Maura, and who doesn’t quite know how to tell the kids.

Tambor is not the first to attempt such a role, but Maura is the first transitioning transgender character to anchor a television series. And Tambor is a revelation.

The contrast between his quick, bright smile and those mournful eyes has never been

put to better use. His ability to summon two characters — Mort burdened by frustration and shame, Maura buoyed by anxious joy — often with his posture alone offers audiences not just enlightenment on transgender issues but a master class in acting.

And as specific as “Transparent” is to Maura’s journey, it is also about the destructive nature of shameful secrecy in general.

That all the Pfefferman kids are emotionally stalled out in one way or another is not divorced from their father’s plight. Presumably, her decision to be true to herself will offer her children a chance to do that as well.

Because the relief you see in Maura’s face and body when she allows herself to shed Mort, the lightness you hear in her voice ... forget transparent, it’s transcendent.

ALBUM REVIEW

25 years ago (1989) Sandy Gotch, assistant administrator at the Everett Clinic, had been elected president of the Washington State Medical Group Management Association for the 1989-90 year. The association had 261 members statewide.

In Edmonds a park was proposed as part of a stormwater detention project. It was in the Chase Lake area south of 220th Street SW on 84th Avenue W. The project was designed to improve water quality and help control downstream flooding.

Interested parties could attend an informational meeting at Edmonds Unitarian Church.

Lady Antebellum regains altitude with latest, ‘747’ Lady Antebellum took off at jet speed with back-to-back multi-platinum albums in 2008 and 2010. Since then, while continuing to score radio hits, the trio’s sales leveled out and started drifting downward.

The group’s fifth album, “747,” sounds like a concerted effort to head back toward the stratosphere. After a couple of uneven albums, “747” has a cohesive, celebratory feel that brings out the best in members Dave Haywood, Charles Kelley and Hillary Scott.

The first single, “Bartender,” is a grown-up take on country music’s current obsession with hard drinking. But the album has better songs: the beautifully sensual “Damn You Seventeen,” the musically and vocally complex “Down South,” the sultry, spiritual “One Great Mystery” and the yearning “Lie With Me,” which makes good use of the clever double-entendre in the title and chorus.
