By Kari Bray Herald Writer

ARLINGTON — The Stillaguamish Tribe’s new Natural Resources Department Building is designed to honor the tribe’s history and culture while making it easier to research and protect resources for the future.

The facility houses the tribe’s environmental and cultural preservation efforts, including ongoing fish and water quality studies. A new custom-built laboratory allows researchers to keep track of fish populations and the condition of the river and streams in the Stillaguamish watershed.

The tribe also works to protect wildlife, sacred sites, artifacts and fishing rights. More than 200,000 Chinook salmon are released into the river by the tribe each year, the See BUILDING, Page A6

EVERETT — Commissioner of Public Lands Peter Goldmark on Monday defended his leadership after the deadly Oso mudslide and has requested $10 million in the next state budget to better assess the risk of logging in landslideprone areas.

If Goldmark’s proposal is approved by the governor and the Legislature, the state Department of Natural Resources would receive $6.6 million to map thousands of acres with high-precision Lidar technology to get a better idea of where potentially devastating landslides might occur. That information would be available to cities, counties, residents and those seeking to log, he said.

Another $3.2 million would be used to hire six foresters and two geologists to boost the agency’s oversight of thousands of logging applications each year. Today there are 45 field staffers, he said.

“Slides are going to happen, but we want to make sure the timber harvest doesn’t make them more frequent or more severe,” Goldmark told The Daily Herald editorial board Monday during a visit to the newspaper.

He submitted the request last month to Gov. Jay Inslee, who will consider including the allocations in a budget proposal due in December.

Work on brain GPS wins Nobel Prize Alzheimer’s disease research is greatly advanced by the three scientists’ work.

Associated Press STOCKHOLM — How do we remember where we parked the car? And how do we figure out a shortcut to work when there’s a big traffic jam?

The brain, it turns out, has a GPS-like function that enables people to produce mental maps and navigate the world — a discovery for which three scientists won the Nobel Prize in medicine Monday.

Husband-and-wife scientists Edvard Moser and May-Britt Moser of Norway and New York-born researcher John O’Keefe

were honored for breakthroughs in experiments on rats that could help pave the way for a better understanding of human diseases such as Alzheimer’s.

“We can actually begin to investigate what goes wrong” in Alzheimer’s, said O’Keefe, a dual British-American citizen. He said the findings might also help scientists design tests that can pick up the very earliest signs of the mind-robbing disease, whose victims lose their spatial memory and get easily lost.

It was in London in 1971 where O’Keefe discovered the first component of the brain’s positioning system.

He found that a certain type of nerve cell was always activated when a

rat was at a certain place in a room. Other nerve cells were activated when the rat moved to another place. He demonstrated that these “place cells” were building up a map, not just registering visual input.

Decades later, in 2005, the Mosers identified another type of nerve cell — the “grid cell” — that generates a coordinate system for precise “positioning and path-finding,” the Nobel Assembly said.

“I made the initial discovery over 40 years ago. It was met then with a lot of skepticism,” the 74-yearold O’Keefe said. “And then slowly over years, the evidence accumulated. And I think it’s a sign of recognition not only for myself and the work I did, but for the way in which the field has

bloomed.”

Monday’s award was the fourth time that a married couple has shared a Nobel Prize and the second time in the medicine category.

“This is crazy,” an excited May-Britt Moser, 51, said by telephone from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim, where she and her husband work.

“This is such a great honor for all of us and all the people who have worked with us and supported us,” she said. “We are going to continue and hopefully do even more groundbreaking work in the future.”

Edvard Moser, 52, said: “It is really a joint work. Not only are we two people, but we are complementary as well.”

lands commissioner, whose duties include overseeing the harvest of timber on public and private land.

He is the man entrusted by voters to make sure logging doesn’t trigger destructive landslides.

Monday marked one of the few times he’s commented publicly since the March disaster, which claimed 43 lives and wiped out a neighborhood.

Goldmark used the opportunity to highlight what he termed a “rapid response” to the catastrophic geologic event, referring to a decision in May to require additional scientific reports about soil at logging sites on or near unstable slopes — especially where geology is similar to that of Oso.

I feel we have done everything we could right after the slide to ensure the public safety aspect by requiring additional review by geologists.

— Peter Goldmark, commissioner of public lands

“I think I’ve taken appropriate steps for an emergency,” he said. “I feel we have done everything we could right after the slide to ensure the public safety aspect by requiring additional review by geologists.”

At the time, environmentalists and some members of the state Forest Practices Board wanted to halt all

logging in areas of glacial sediment where landslides have occurred.

Dave Somers, a Snohomish County councilman and a member of the Forest Practices Board, proposed a moratorium on logging. He backed off amid questions about the state-appointed panel’s power to ban timber harvests.

Goldmark asked Attorney General Bob Ferguson for advice and is still awaiting an opinion.

“I’m a little disappointed it’s taking so long to get the A.G. opinion,” Somers said Monday. “I personally think we ought to put in extra precautions around these areas.”

Goldmark doesn’t share that opinion. He opposes a ban of timber harvests in landslide-prone areas and contended that the change he ordered will ensure the state has information it needs to make good decisions on logging requests in hazardous areas.

“I think the path forward is much better than a moratorium,” he said.

Meanwhile, the state Department of Natural Resources continues to investigate decisions

regarding a 7.5-acre clearcut atop Hazel Hill in 2004 and the manner in which the trees were felled.

In the days following the Oso landslide, there was speculation of a possible link between that harvest and this year’s tragedy.

Goldmark initially sounded pretty convinced there was no connection, but he did order an investigation of decision-making during the watch of his predecessor, Doug Sutherland.

“That investigation is still ongoing. We hope to have it done in the near future,” he said.

Meantime, Goldmark won’t speculate about what did trigger the unprecedented event. He’s aware of numerous legal claims filed as a result of the disaster.

He said the most comprehensive look to date

appears to be the July report of the GEER Association. GEER stands for Geotechnical Extreme Events Reconnaissance.

The organization mobilizes geologists and engineers to study natural disasters that damage infrastructure.

It concluded that the mudslide was largely triggered by a previous landslide in the same area in 2006, but there is no clear cause of what made that old slide come back to life, aside from the presence of a great deal of water in the soil.

“As to what caused the landslide, I think in all frankness the GEER Report is as close as you’re going to get until we go to trial over the tort claims,” Goldmark said.

Harborview ready for Ebola, if needed Seattle has one of only 13 labs in the nation able to conduct diagnostic tests for the hard-to-catch disease.

By Sharon Salyer Herald Writer

SHORELINE — Harborview Medical Center in Seattle has agreed to treat American patients sickened with Ebola who need to be evacuated from West Africa — one of five U.S.

hospitals to do so, health officials said Monday.

There are no Ebola cases in Washington now, but the state is preparing.

A state Department of Health lab here can test blood samples from potentially infected patients. It’s one of 13 labs nationally that can conduct molecular diagnostic tests for the virus, said Dr. Scott Lindquist, an epidemiologist with the state Department of Health.

Ebola has sickened 7,470 and

killed 3,431 people in Africa, according to the World Health Organization.

That said, the risk to the general public in the U.S. is very low, Lindquist said.

“This is not the first Ebola outbreak in the history of the world,” he said. “They’ve been controlled” previously.

The outbreak in West Africa continues to grow. By the end of January, it might sicken as many as 1 million people, said Dr. Jeff Duchin, who oversees communicable disease issues for Public

Health-Seattle & King County.

During the current epidemic, the potential need to evacuate American Ebola-infected patients to the U.S. could last weeks or months, he said at a news conference Monday.

The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently contacted Lindquist about finding a local hospital which specialized in infectious diseases and could care for Ebola patients evacuated to the U.S. for treatment. Lindquist said Harborview was “the logical

choice.”

To date, Ebola-infected patients evacuated to the U.S. have been treated at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta and the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha.

Ebola’s symptoms include a fever of 101.5 degrees or greater, severe headache, muscle pain, weakness, diarrhea, vomiting and unexplained bleeding or bruising. They can occur two to 21 days after exposure.

SEATTLE — Sen. Patty Murray took U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx on a ferry ride in the hopes of making a positive impression as she works to secure funding for the country’s largest ferry system.

“This is a really important part of our transportation and as we move forward on our authorization bills on the federal level we have to make sure we are a partner,” Murray, D-Wash., said during a tour of the Wenatchee as it cruised across Puget Sound to Bainbridge Island, loaded with people, cars, bicycles and tourists. “We have 22 million people who ride these ferries.

This is just an essential way for people to live and work outside Seattle.”

She succeeded in getting Foxx’s attention.

SNOHOMISH — About 20 volunteers here are scurrying to plan and prepare a cold-weather shelter for those without a warm bed, before temperatures drop.

“There is a need,” said Snohomish Community Food Bank Director Elizabeth Grant, who is helping organize the shelter.

“When it gets cold, it’s a whole other level of survival out there.”

Many of the people who use

the food bank do not have access to a stove or microwave, Grant said. Last year, she noticed an increasing demand for selfheating meals. She got three grants so the organization could provide two hot meals for each person on Tuesdays and Fridays from November to March. When people started showing up in greater numbers for food for those meals, Grant knew a warm place to sleep was also needed.

The Snohomish Evangelical Free Church, at 210 Ave. B, plans to host the shelter. There are separate sleeping areas for about 20 people. One is designated for the men and another for women and children.

The shelter is to open Nov. 1 and operate through February on nights when the temperature drops to 32 degrees or below.

Mukilteo ferry terminal open house Washington State Ferries and the city of Mukilteo host an open house about the new ferry terminal, 5:30-7:30 p.m.

The Monroe Cold Weather Shelter, which found a permanent home last year on Main Street, lent its handbook of policies and procedures to the Snohomish organizers. They modeled their guidelines after Monroe’s.

Now they’re recruiting volunteers and gathering supplies.

They’re looking for donations of such items as mats, blankets, cleaning supplies, snacks, pet crates and toiletries. They also need a trailer for storing the supplies and a place to park it.

At least two volunteers are needed to cover each shift once the shelter opens. One crew will come check people in and get them settled. Another will stay overnight. A third shift will make breakfast and clean.

Volunteers need to complete

Learn more about what to expect during construction and how the project takes environmental concerns into consideration, and provide feedback on plans to improve traffic near the new terminal site.

The first phase of construction, to remove the tank farm pier, is anticipated to begin in spring 2015.

Medical Reserve Corps training, which includes CPR and first aid, before they start work at the shelter. Insurance will be provided.

Grant said homelessness is a growing problem in Snohomish County. The shelter in Everett has to turn people away.

“We’re so concerned about what’s happening in other countries, but guess what — it’s happening in our own backyards,” Grant said.

People interested in volunteering should call 425220-2217. They can attend a meeting at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at the Snohomish Evangelical Free Church.

Donated supplies can be dropped off at the Snohomish Community Food Bank at 1330 Ferguson Park Road.

EVERETT — For a time in 2011, Oin Glenn Oakstar was front page news.

His testimony at trial was used against Shawna Forde, a former Everett City Council candidate convicted of two counts of murder in Arizona. She is now one of two women and 120 inmates on Arizona’s death row.

Three years after his testimony, Oakstar died in obscurity in Everett, the city Forde left in Washington to launch a violent border-watch group in his native Arizona.

Everett police don’t know when and why he ended up in Snohomish County, officer Aaron Snell said.

Oakstar’s body was found in a tent on railroad property close to the 41st Street overpass near I-5.

His death was discovered shortly after midnight Wednesday.

Police found no obvious signs of how Oakstar died, Snell said.

They’re waiting for the Snohomish County Medical Examiner to determine the Tucson man’s cause of death. Death investigators are waiting for test results.

Oakstar has been in Washington since at least spring.

In April 2014, Oakstar, whose address at the time was a Seattle homeless shelter, was arrested for investigation of burglary. No charges were filed and he was released.

Oakstar, 43, had a history of drug dealing and use in Arizona.

He testified that Forde, a former hairdresser, planned to fund her Minutemen American Defense group by targeting drug traffickers and illegal immigrants during home invasions.

On May 30, 2009, those plans led to bloodshed and the tragic death of a 9-year-old girl and the child’s father.

The meeting is planned for 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Lynnwood Municipal Court on the second floor at 19321 44th Ave. W.

SEATTLE — As Washington’s health care exchange prepares for its second open enrollment period, officials were still trying to resolve billing and computer problems involving about 1,300 accounts from the previous round of sign-ups.

Exchange officials began with about 24,000 problem accounts that were detected as people started to use their insurance earlier this year.

“We have made substantial progress,” said Brad Finnegan, associate operations director for Washington Healthplanfinder, who said the remaining billing problems should be resolved this week. He does not expect the same problems to pop up during the next round of sign-ups that begin Nov. 15.

Exchange programmers also have fixed a different

hospital spokeswoman Cheri Russum. The hospital also has sealed rooms where patients would be treated until Ebola could be ruled out.

Gary Preston, who heads the hospital’s infection-control committee, said a test was recently conducted to see how quickly local, state and federal health officials could be notified if an Ebola case is confirmed.

Health officials “were on the line in 30 minutes,” he said.

Earlier in the day Foxx announced a $20 million grant for the Port of Seattle.

That money will modernize a container terminal.

they have contact with needles or syringes that have been contaminated with the virus, according to the CDC. Ebola is far less contagious than mumps or measles, Duchin said.

Infection control in the presence of Ebola is the same as other infectious diseases, said Dr. Timothy Dellit, Harborview’s associate medical director.

Providence Regional Medical Center Everett, Snohomish County’s largest hospital, has a plan to deal with patients who might have been infected with Ebola, said

set of problems that plagued the system during the enrollment period, he said during a briefing last week.

He cited hyphenated names as one issue that caused error messages to pop up during enrollment.

Finnegan said a team of people is reviewing every problem reported to the exchange to make sure they have been resolved and encouraged everyone who has not reported their problems to send an email or call the help line.

He promised this fall’s process would run more smoothly.

The billing problems involved computer issues and human errors, so the fixes required code changes and one-by-one review of the most tenacious account issues, Finnegan said.

About one in five people who bought insurance through the exchange experienced some kind of billing problem.

During the tour, Washington’s transportation secretary Lynn Peterson did not mention those challenges, but instead told Foxx that the ferries have a 99.5 percent reliability rating. She said it also gets high marks for customer satisfaction.

Lynne Griffith, who last month took over as the assistant secretary for the Washington State Ferry system told Foxx: “You are on a major mass people mover. For some it’s the only way for them to get access to services.”

The system has 22 vessels, but some are old and will need service or replacement at some point, she said.

Murray said the ferries could be threatened as Congress considers funding for the transportation bill.

“The biggest challenge we have coming forward with the new transportation reauthorization is there are people who do not want to include ferries,” Murray said. “If we just incorporate funding as part of the state grants

we’re going to lose out a lot,” she said. “There are some tea party Republicans who don’t believe the federal government should do anything in terms of federal funding, including transportation. So those are some of the big battles we have going on.”

Foxx said he agreed that the ferry system is a vital piece of the nation’s infrastructure.

“It’s a backbone,” he said of Washington’s ferry system. “It’s a lifeline for so many people to get to work and back.”

Brisenia, were killed. The child’s mother also nearly died, but fired back, injuring one of the intruders.

At trial, Oakstar told prosecutors he’d been running drugs since he was 14 and stole several hundred pounds for marijuana from Flores, a rival in the drug trade, according to media reports.

He sensed there

eventually would be a violent confrontation with Flores and discussed the home invasion plot. However, he was too drunk to participate the night Forde and co-defendant Jason Bush posed as law enforcement officers and talked their way inside.

Bush was convicted and sentenced to death. A third defendant, Albert Gaxiola, also was convicted and sentenced to

life in prison.

Oakstar was arrested after the shooting for being a felon in possession of firearms. He agreed to testify against the others in a plea deal aimed at avoiding prison time.

He signed the agreement Dec. 2, 2009. A month later, he was placed on probation, but soon violated those terms.

In March 2011, he was

sentenced to two years in prison and was given credit for time served.

He was released in June of 2012 and from community supervision two months later.

“He did complete his parole,” said Bill Lamoreaux, a spokesman for the Arizona Department of Corrections.

LYNNWOOD — Police plan a community meeting this week to warn neighbors about a convicted sex offender who will be living in the 5500 block of 176th Street SW. Christopher Lee Shelley, 31, is a Level III offender, the level deemed most likely to re-offend.

Shelley pleaded guilty to second-degree child rape in King County in 2001. The victim in that crime was a 12-year-old girl. Shelley also was convicted of firstdegree child rape in 1995 in Snohomish County. The victims in that crime were boys aged 6 and 9. He also has a conviction for assault with sexual motivation involving two teen girls, and two convictions for burglary.

Health officials say all hospitals and medical practices across the state should be on alert for Ebola symptoms, which can be similar to those of other viruses. Health-care workers also should ask about the travel history of ill patients, Duchin said.

That travel history was missed by a Dallas emergency room. A man infected with Ebola, who traveled on an airplane from Liberia, was sent home after initial treatment. He later returned, far sicker, and was

hospitalized. His health has deteriorated. On Monday he was in critical condition.

Local hospitals throughout the state should be prepared to treat Ebola-infected patients, health officials said. “We’re expecting all our health care facilities to be ready,” Lindquist said.

Ebola is not an airborne disease, so, unlike colds, it cannot spread through sneezes or coughs. People can become infected when they come into contact with the blood, urine, sweat or vomit of an infected patient, or if

Proposal to protect fisher cites pot farm threat

By Jeff Barnard Associated Press

GRANTS PASS, Ore. — Citing a threat from rat poison used on illegal marijuana plantations, federal biologists on Monday proposed Endangered Species Act protection for West Coast populations of the fisher, a larger cousin of the weasel.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service published notice in the Federal Register that it wants to list the fisher as a threatened species in Oregon, California and Washington.

The full proposal was expected Tuesday.

Other reasons for the proposal include the loss of forest habitat to wildfire, logging and urban development, disease, being eaten by other predators, illegal fur trapping and climate change.

The fisher is the second species in the West for

which biologists have formally recognized a threat from marijuana cultivation.

A recovery plan for coho salmon calls for reducing pollution from pesticides and fertilizers used on pot plantations; decreasing illegal water withdrawals from salmon streams; and easing clear-cut logging.

Scientists are also working to see how much the poisons are affecting the northern spotted owl.

Erin Williams, who oversaw the analysis for Fish and Wildlife, said the poisons are regulated, but the rules have done little to stop misuse on pot farms in forests where fishers live.

The full proposal notes that 84 percent of the 77 fisher carcasses found in California’s northwestern mountains and the southern Sierra Nevada tested positive for rat poison. A map shows that virtually all fisher habitat includes illegal marijuana growing

Six of the eight fishers tested on the Olympic Peninsula of Washington tested positive, said Mourad Gabriel, executive

Gabriel says fishers eat fish- and meat flavored poisons directly, or ingest prey that ate the poison

“There are hundreds upon hundreds of grows still out there — old remnant grows,” Gabriel said.

“When we visit those, we are still finding rodenticide packaged in plastic containers.”

The fisher is a housecat-sized predator that makes its home in cavities in large dead trees and is one of the few predators to prey on porcupines. It has been a candidate for protection since 2004. The current proposal to list it as a threatened species is the result of a lawsuit settlement involving conservation groups.

“We are very glad the fisher is getting the protection it needs to survive,” said Noah Greenwald of Center for Biological Diversity.

The species was once common throughout

forests in the West before fur trapping and logging in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Small pockets of the animals are now found in the southern Sierra Nevada of California and the Klamath and Siskiyou Mountains of northwestern California and southwestern Oregon.

Fishers have been introduced in Crater Lake National Park in Oregon, Olympic National Park in Washington, and the northern Sierra of California.

Based on habitat availability, the overall population is estimated at less than 4,000. Other populations across forests of the northern and eastern U.S. are not covered by the proposal.

The agency is taking public comment for 90 days and having outside scientists review the proposal before making a final decision by Sept. 30, 2015.

Building: Tribe’s new lab

HEALTH NOTIFICATION

From Page A1

Are You Hard of Hearing?

Natural Resources Department reports.

“We’re all an important role in what we do,” Tribal Chairman Shawn Yanity said. “We have the duty that was put by our creator on our ancestors.

We can’t protect our natural resources without our culture. This building represents the tribe as a whole and everything we do in our ever shifting and changing culture.”

Staff settled into the center in May. Planning for the building started in 2010, and construction took about 18 months.

The tribe celebrated the Natural Resources Department Building with an open house in late September. Speakers shared memories and hopes for the future. Songs set to a deep, steady drumbeat honored the tribe’s history.

The previous natural resources facility was located in a farmhouse low in the valley, where it was plagued by pests and flooding. The new center is perched uphill, surrounded by trees with a view of the valley visible between the branches. It’s off I-5 at Exit 210, down 6th Avenue near the tribe’s police station.

“When I showed up this was a pile of logs, steel and rocks taller than my head,” Architect Brooks Middleton said. The open lot near the police station had been used to store supplies like lumber and metal, but nothing was built on it.

He followed deer trails through the area and realized it would be an ideal location, outside of the floodplain and away from the mice. The tribe’s Natural Resources Department Building Committee sealed the deal over a campfire at the site.

Giles has denied any involvement in Berry’s killing. His attorneys told jurors he’s the victim of flawed forensic work and tunnel vision.

Isn’t it true that he told detectives that he thought the person may be hosing off mud, not blood?

Coburn even demonstrated that Horton had a faulty memory about how many times he had identified people as resembling the man he spotted at the car wash. She confronted him with paperwork showing that happened twice before Giles became a suspect.

Horton kept his composure during the grilling.

His recall was imperfect.

He was trying to remember events from nearly 20 years ago, he said at one point.

After he finished testifying, Berry’s family met privately with Horton.

They thanked him for coming forward.

A drive-through garage and mudroom allow employees to shed wet, muddy gear after studying the river. There’s a conference room, a reception area and a number of bright, open offices. The water quality lab, which used to be in a repurposed garage, is a large blue, gray and white space with custom equipment to test water samples and examine fish.

Guests were impressed by the new building.

“Being in government in the most beautiful part of the world, one of our biggest challenges is to balance our built environment with our natural environment,” Arlington Mayor Barbara Tolbert said. “This building does that.”

Detectives thought enough of Horton’s lead that they publicized the sketch in hopes of identifying the stranger he reported seeing.

There were tips, but also a dead end. Horton identified others he thought were dead ringers for the car wash guy. The lead went cold.

Nine years later, Giles became a suspect in the Berry case. His DNA reportedly was found on the steering wheel of Berry’s car using forensic techniques that weren’t available in 1995.

Detectives investigated and concluded that Berry’s killing unfolded in Giles’ back yard, deputy prosecutor Craig Matheson said in opening statements early last week.

structures, Middleton said. Designers looked at reconstructions of Native American housing to inspire their modern take on tribal architecture.

Detailing on exterior walls is made to look like cedar plank siding, and most of the interior lighting is natural, with expansive windows and skylights that pull illumination from outside. Load-bearing beams are outside of the building rather than in the walls.

The steel used to make the columns is the same material used for train boxcars, which means they should gain a natural rust coat and can survive the cold, wet weather, said Josh Baldwin with Quantum Construction, Inc. The building also is meant to be energy-efficient and lowmaintenance. It should last about a century without any major projects, said Walt Bendt, superintendent of Quantum Construction.

Natural lighting cuts down on the tribe’s energy bill, as does geothermal heat. The building has its own well and septic system. Native flora is planted in rain gardens outside to help with drainage.

“It’s kind of neat because the whole thing is selfcontained,” Middleton said. “It doesn’t need to

ACLU proposes 2 Latino-majority districts in Yakima Associated Press The city of Yakima doesn’t need just one Latino majority voting district; it should have two, the American Civil Liberties Union says.

Last week, both the city and the ACLU filed proposed remedies after a federal judge’s ruling in August that invalidated Yakima’s current elections

system as not equally open to participation by Latino voters.

The ACLU has proposed seven geographic districts for voting in City Council elections, including two districts in east Yakima where the Latino population would be 76 percent and 72 percent respectively.

Yakima’s attorneys have proposed a plan with the council’s approval that

would create five geographic districts from which members would be elected — including one Latino-majority district.

There would also be two positions voted on citywide in the general election, the Yakima Herald-Republic reported.

Yakima would elect its two at-large council members from a single ballot in the general election without

a primary, according to the city’s plan. That means the top two vote-getters, even without receiving a simple majority, would be elected to the council. The top vote-getter would be designated the ceremonial role of mayor; the runner-up would be designated assistant mayor.

In last week’s court filing, the ACLU’s attorneys wrote that Yakima’s proposed

at-large method at best “would prove an experiment in minority vote dilution.”

“Unlike Defendants’ at-large proposal, a single-member district plan requires no guessing games to determine whether Latinos in Yakima will have an effective opportunity to participate in the political process,” the ACLU’s attorneys wrote.

Long Beach: Clam digs begin Tuesday

Mercer Island water samples have tested clean of E. coli for a fourth consecutive day, but a boil water advisory stands, the Seattle suburb said Monday. There is one report of a Mercer Island child with an E. coli infection, but it’s not possible to say whether the child became sick from drinking water or from some other source. The child has not required hospitalization.

Colville: State will talk about wolves State wildlife officials are likely to hear from angry ranchers at a meeting Tuesday in Colville to discuss wolf management.

The department says it will provide information about recent wolf attacks on sheep and cattle in northeast Washington. The predation and the wolf-killings in response collide with plans to re-establish a population of wolves in the state.

Sheriff Frank Rogers said Oregon authorities advised Monday afternoon that they had the teens in custody in connection with the stolen pickup truck they were driving. The truck was reported missing from the homicide scene at the Riverside, Washington, home of 39-year-old Patrick M. Alltus. The sheriff said there was evidence of a lot of violence at the home.

Jeremy Arnold, 37, appeared at his home moments after authorities concluded a news conference about a body discovered at the home. While a television crew filmed the encounter, Arnold left his truck with what appeared to be a gun in his hand and was shot dead by police. Police say Arnold was actually carrying a metallic pellet gun.

Until We Meet Again Those special memories of you will always bring a smile, if only we could have you back for just a little while.

We could talk again, just like we used to, you always meant so much, and always will. The fact you’re no longer here will always cause us pain, but you’re forever in our hearts.

Until we meet again.

Gay marriage expanded in U.S.

Move by Supreme Court now makes it legal in 30 states, D.C.

By Mark Sherman Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court unexpectedly cleared the way Monday for a dramatic expansion of gay marriage in the United States and may have signaled that it’s only a matter of time before same-sex couples can marry in all 50 states.

Rejecting appeals from five states seeking to preserve their bans, the Supreme Court effectively made such marriages legal in 30 states, up from 19 and the District of Columbia, taking in every region of the country.

Challenges are pending in the other 20 states.

Almost immediately, exuberant couples began receiving marriage licenses. “This is the dream day,” said Sharon Baldwin, a plaintiff in a challenge to Oklahoma’s ban, as she and her partner got their license in the Tulsa County Clerk’s Office.

Directly affected by Monday’s orders were Wisconsin, Indiana, Oklahoma, Utah and Virginia. Officials in those states had appealed lower court rulings in an effort to preserve their bans. Couples in six other states — Colorado, Kansas, North Carolina, South Carolina, West Virginia and

THE VIRGINIAN-PILOT

Donald Durst (left), and Michael Wolfe walk to their car after legalizing their marriage license at the Norfolk, Virginia, Circuit Court office Monday. Same-sex marriages began in Virginia on Monday.

Wyoming — should be able to get married in short order since those states would be bound by the same appellate rulings that have been on hold.

While county clerks in a number of states quickly began issuing licenses to gay and lesbian couples, in some other states affected by the court’s action officials did not sound ready to give up the fight. However, their legal options are limited.

Monday’s terse orders

from the court were contained among more than 1,500 rejected appeals that had piled up over the summer.

The outcome was not what either side expected or wanted.

Both gay marriage supporters and opponents had asked the court to resolve whether the Constitution grants samesex couples the right to marry nationwide.

The justices did not explain why they decided to leave that question unanswered for now.

Still, the import seemed clear.

What the justices did in virtual silence Monday “has to send a signal to the other courts of appeals that the Supreme Court does not think it’s so wrong to allow samesex couples to marry, and that even conservative justices don’t think they have a good shot at getting five votes. And that sends a message that this essentially is over,” said Jon Davidson, legal director of Lambda Legal, an advocacy group for gay rights.

Leaders of the National Organization for Marriage predicted a backlash in the form of renewed efforts to pass a constitutional amendment defining marriage as the union of a man and a woman.

“The notion that the people have nothing to say about this — that unelected judges are going to decide it for us — that’s preposterous,” said John Eastman, the organization’s chairman.

However, efforts to pass such an amendment have gained little traction, even in past years when support for same-sex marriage was less robust. NOM’s president, Brian Brown, acknowledged that any renewed efforts would be “long and arduous.”

High court begins term with case on police actions

By Sam Hananel Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court opened its new term Monday pondering whether a police officer’s misunderstanding of the law can justify a traffic stop that led to the seizure of illegal drugs.

Several of the justices questioned whether it was reasonable for the North Carolina officer to pull over a car because one of its two brake lights was burned out, even though state law requires only one light to be functional.

The stop led to a search and the discovery of cocaine in the trunk, but the high court’s

ultimate decision could lead to that evidence being excluded.

This group of justices began its fifth year together, and John Roberts is at the start of his 10th year as chief justice. On tap for the term are cases involving: ■■Religious, employment and housing discrimination; ■■The drawing of political districts in Alabama and Arizona; ■■A dispute between Congress and the president over passports that is heavy with Middle East politics, and; ■■The use of a law to prevent document shredding against a fisherman accused of throwing undersized red grouper overboard.

Monday’s argument on

the police action involves an appeal by Nicholas Heien, whose Ford Escort was pulled over when an officer saw that the right rear brake light wasn’t working. The officer found cocaine during an ensuing search, and Heien was later convicted of drug trafficking.

The case tests whether the officer’s mistaken understanding of the law makes the traffic stop unreasonable and the search a violation of Heien’s constitutional rights.

A divided state Supreme Court said the mistake was reasonable enough to justify the routine traffic stop and refused to toss out the drug evidence.

Roberts asked Heien’s lawyer, Stanford Law School Professor Jeffrey Fisher, why not take reasonableness into account since the Fourth Amendment only protects against “unreasonable” searches and seizures.

Fisher responded that criminal law “is presumed to be definite and knowable.”

Robert Montgomery, North Carolina’s senior deputy attorney general, argued that the Fourth Amendment does not require police officers to be perfect. “All that is required is that a police officer have a reasonable view of the facts and apply those facts to a reasonable understanding of the law..”

Ebola case in Spain spreads concern Nurse is first victim known to become infected outside West Africa zone.

By Connie Cass and Lauran Neergaard Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Raising fresh concern around the world, a nurse in Spain on Monday became the first person known to catch Ebola outside the outbreak zone in West Africa. In the U.S., the Obama administration considered ordering more careful screening of airline passengers arriving from the region.

Already hospitalized in the U.S., a critically ill Liberian man, Thomas Duncan, began receiving an experimental drug in Dallas. But there were encouraging signs for an American video journalist who returned from Liberia for treatment. Ashoka Mukpo, 33, was able to walk off the plane to a waiting ambulance, and his father said Muko’s symptoms of fever and nausea appeared mild.

“It was really wonderful to see his face,” said Dr. Mitchell Levy, who talked to his son over a video chat system at Nebraska Medical Center.

In Spain, the stricken nurse had been part of a team that treated a priest who was flown home to Spain from Sierra Leone to be treated for Ebola.

The 69-year-old priest died in the hospital.

The nurse’s only symptom was a fever, but the infection

THE WORLD-HERALD

Ashoka Mukpo is loaded into an ambulance Monday after arriving in Omaha, Nebraska. Mukpo, an American video journalist, contracted Ebola while working in Liberia.

was confirmed by two tests, Spanish health officials said.

She was being treated in isolation, while authorities drew up a list of people she had had contact with.

Medical workers in Texas were among Americans waiting to find out whether they had been infected by Duncan, the African traveler.

In Washington, the White House continued to rule out any blanket ban on travel from West Africa, saying the best way to protect Americans was to end the outbreak there. To that end, the U.S. military was working on the first of 17 promised medical centers in Liberia and training up to 4,000 soldiers this week to help with the Ebola crisis.

The U.S. is equipped to stop any further cases that reach the United States, said White House spokesman Josh Earnest.

About 350 U.S. troops were already in Liberia, the Pentagon said, to begin building a 25-bed field hospital for medical workers infected with Ebola. A torrential rain delayed the start of the job Monday.

The virus has taken an especially devastating toll on health care workers, sickening or killing more than 370 of them in the hardest-hit countries of Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone — places that already were short on doctors and nurses before Ebola.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry urged the U.S. government to begin

screening air passengers arriving from Ebola-affected nations, including taking their temperatures. Perry stopped short of joining some conservatives who have backed bans on travel from those countries.

Federal health officials say a travel ban could make the desperate situation worse in the afflicted countries, and White House spokesman Earnest said it was not under consideration.

Southwest Airlines CEO Gary Kelly said he saw no need for additional screening at airports and noted that airlines already are cleaning planes frequently under FAA standards.

Airlines have dealt with previous epidemics, such as the 2003 outbreak in Asia of SARS, or severe acute respiratory syndrome.

“Now it’s Ebola,” Kelly said.

“We are always on the alert for any kind of infectious disease.”

The U.S. didn’t ban flights or impose extra screening on passengers during the SARS outbreak or the 2009 swine flu pandemic.

Both of those were airborne diseases that spread more easily than the Ebola virus, which is spread by contact with bodily fluids.

Canadian health authorities attempted various methods of screening arriving passengers for SARS, including sometimes checking for fever.

Authorities later reported that five SARS patients entered Canada in three months, but none had symptoms while traveling through airports.

ACROSS THE U.S.

VA fires 4 executives in scandal response WASHINGTON The Veterans Affairs Department said it is firing four senior executives as officials move to crack down on wrongdoing following a nationwide scandal over long wait times for veterans seeking medical care, and falsified records covering up the delays.

The dismissals are the first since Congress passed a law this summer making it easier for veterans who experience delays to get care outside VA’s nationwide network of hospitals and clinics. The law also made it easier for the agency to fire senior officials suspected of wrongdoing, shortening their appeals process to 28 days.

Those fired were a top purchasing official at the Veterans Health Administration, directors of VA hospitals in Pittsburgh and Dublin, Georgia, and a regional hospital director in central Alabama, the VA said.

White House defends Biden The White House defended Vice President Joe Biden on Monday, after he apologized for remarks he made that offended key allies in the U.S.-led coalition against Islamic State extremists.

White House press secretary Josh Earnest dismissed suggestions that Biden’s remarks had damaged the coalition or that the administration had feared it could, absent an apology. Biden apologized over the weekend to Turkey and the United Arab Emirates after saying they had a role in allowing foreign fighters, weapons and money into Syria to bolster groups fighting Syrian President Bashar Assad. He also made similar statements about Saudi Arabia.

N.Y.: Cub dead in park A bear cub has been found dead under a bush in New York City’s Central Park, and authorities believe the body may have been dumped there. Police said the cub was found Monday by a dog walker. There were signs of trauma to the body. Authorities suspect animal cruelty played a role in the cub’s death.

Ill.: Teen sought to join ISIS A 19-year-old American left a letter for his parents expressing disgust with Western society before trying to board a plane in Chicago, the first step in his plan to sneak into Syria to join the Islamic State group, according to a federal criminal complaint. Mohammed Hamzah Khan, of Bolingbrook, was arrested Saturday at O’Hare International Airport. He is charged with attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist group.

AROUND THE WORLD India: Kashmiris flee Tens of thousands of villagers fled their homes in Kashmir on Monday, as Indian and Pakistani troops bombarded each other with gunfire and mortar shells over the border separating Pakistan from India’s portion of the disputed region. At least nine civilians were killed. The violence followed several meetings between the commanders of the two countries’ border forces. The nations have fought over their competing claims to Kashmir.

Haiti: No Santa Maria The U.N. cultural agency concluded Monday that a shipwreck found off northern Haiti could not be the Santa Maria, the lost flagship from Christopher Columbus’ first voyage to the Western Hemisphere, as a U.S. explorer had claimed. UNESCO said experts who explored the site determined the wreckage was from a more recent vessel.

Colombia: Deadly lightning Authorities said 11 members of a remote indigenous tribe along the Caribbean coast were killed when a lightning bolt struck a thatch-roofed hut where they were gathered. Military officials said Monday that another 15 members of the Wiwa tribe were injured with burns.

Syria: Islamic State advances Islamic State fighters backed by tanks and artillery pushed into the embattled Syrian town of Kobani on the border with Turkey on Monday, touching off heavy street battles with the town’s Kurdish defenders. Capturing Kobani would give the Islamic State group a direct link between its positions in the Syrian province of Aleppo and its stronghold of Raqqa, to the east.

HP splits off PC, printer businesses Associated Press NEW YORK — Hewlett-Packard is splitting itself into two companies, one focused on its personal computer and printing business and another on technology services such as data storage, servers and software, betting that it can drive faster sales growth with more-focused operations.

Hewlett-Packard, like other PC makers, has struggled as customers shifted toward smartphones

and tablets and away from desktops and laptops. It also has been shifting its services business toward cloud computing opportunities as fewer customers opt for traditional data storage. The company has posted revenue declines in 11 of the past 12 quarters and laid off tens of thousands of people in recent years as it attempts to cut costs.

HP hopes that the two units will be worth more separately and be able to grow more quickly

apart than they can together.

The planned breakup follows other big companies that have spun off business units in order to drive growth. EBay Inc. last week said it would spin off its fastest-growing segment, payment service PayPal, into a separate publicly traded company.

HP first considered breaking off its PC unit back in 2011, but decided against it. CEO Meg Whitman, who has been leading the company’s turnaround for

the past three years, said Monday that HP has now shored up its business enough to support the split.

“The best tactic to continue the turnaround journey is to position HP as two great new companies,” she said in an interview with CNBC. “Before a few months ago we were not in the right position to do this.”

EVERETT — Boeing said Monday that some parts for the 777X’s giant composite-material wings will be produced by the company in St. Louis. The equivalent parts for the 777 classic are currently made by outside suppliers in the U.S. and overseas.

To accommodate the work, Boeing said it will expand its current St. Louis composites facility, which will begin producing parts for the 777X program in 2017. The move likely means a few hundred jobs for St. Louis.

A 1.2-million-square-foot building where the 777X wings will be produced is being built in Everett.

Herald Business Journal Staff Pending sales for Snohomish County homes jumped 15.48 percent in September compared with the same month last year, according to statistics released Monday by the Northwest Multiple Listing Service.

The number of homes with pending sales rose to 1,328 last month from 1,150 in 2013.

Every area of the county saw an increase in sales.

Camano Island saw a 58 percent increase in pending sales — 57 sales compared with 36 the year before.

Home sellers also saw an 8.79 percent increase in prices in Snohomish County year over year. The median home price in the county rose to $310,000 last month from $284,950 in September 2013.

Real estate agents said that market expects to continue to have a “healthy glow” heading into 2015 unless interest rates increase radically.

“I foresee a general leveling off in overall market activity as prices approach the affordability ceiling for many buyers,” Gary O’Leyar, broker for Prudential Signature Properties in Seattle, said in a statement.

Diedre Haines, a Multiple Listing Service director who works for Coldwell Banker Bain in Lynnwood, cautioned against overpricing homes, noting that high-end houses have been moving briskly.

“It is extremely important for sellers to know if their house is overpriced it may not garner offers and will eventually sell for below market,” Haines said in the press release.

“This is an absolute that has always been the case, in all market conditions, and all locations,” Haines said.

Wealthy are giving less to charity; Utah tops states

By David Crary Associated Press

NEW YORK — Even as the income gap widens, the wealthiest Americans are giving a smaller share of their income to charity, while poor and middle-income people are donating a larger share, according to an extensive analysis of IRS data conducted by the Chronicle of Philanthropy.

The Chronicle, a leading source of news coverage of the nonprofit world, said in a report released Monday that Americans who earned $200,000 or more reduced the share of their income they gave to charity by 4.6 percent from 2006 to 2012. Those earning less than $100,000 donated 4.5 percent more of their income, the report said.

The Chronicle’s analysis

give the two companies “the independence, focus, financial resources, and flexibility they need to adapt quickly to market and customer dynamics.”

There are numerous reasons why HP would want to divide the businesses, including the slowdown of the PC market since the

was based on tax returns filed by Americans who itemize their deductions, including their charitable gifts. Rankings were compiled for states and metropolitan areas based on the ratio of contributions to adjusted gross income.

According to the report, changes in giving patterns were most pronounced in major cities, where the percentage of income that residents donated dropped markedly between 2006 and 2012. In Philadelphia and Buffalo, New York, the share of income given to charity fell by more than 10 percent; there was a 9 percent drop in Los Angeles, Minneapolis-St. Paul and Washington, D.C. Tami Phillips of the Midnight Mission, a Los Angeles charity serving homeless people, credited

gifts from low- and moderate-income people, for helping sustain its programs during the recession.

“It hits closer to home,” said Phillips. “Any day, they, too, could become homeless.”

The Chronicle’s editor, Stacy Palmer, noted that wealthy donors, overall, were more oriented toward support of the arts and higher education than lower-income donors, and less oriented toward support of social-service charities.

While the PC market has shown some improving trends this year, separating into two companies gives HP the option to sell off one or both businesses if an attractive offer is made, he wrote in a note to clients.

HP’s announcement may be coming now partly because the stock market has been supportive of spinoffs of late, says Jim

campaign this month.

Since 2005, Wal-Mart has hosted health insurance agents from individual insurers in stores to field questions and enroll customers. But Diab said that

with the Affordable Care Act, shoppers found the search for coverage more complicated.

He cited outside research that shows that more than 60 percent of people have difficulty understanding their health insurance

At the state level, residents of Utah were the nation’s most generous, donating $65.60 to charity for every $1,000 they earned. One factor is Utah’s large presence of Mormons, whose church practices call for them to give at least 10 percent of their income to charity.

Mississippi, Alabama and Tennessee — also with high proportions of loyal churchgoers — were next in the rankings.

At the bottom of the list was New Hampshire,

where residents gave $17.40 for every $1,000 they earned. Its neighbors, Maine and Vermont, were the next lowest.

Palmer suggested that the low rankings for northern New England stemmed in part from low rates of church attendance, but also from residents’ “independent streak” and a tradition of self-reliance.

Nevada was the state with the fastest-growing rate of donations as a share of income, jumping nearly 13 percent from 2006 to 2012. Its major metropolis, Las Vegas, was the fastestgrowing city in terms of generosity, rising 21 places since 2006 in a ranking of the country’s 50 largest urban areas.

North Dakota experienced the biggest decline in giving. Residents reduced the share of income they

donated by nearly 16 percent, contributing $24 for every $1,000 earned on average. The Chronicle said that dip could have serious implications, given the increasing demand for social services.

Among the 50 largest cities, Salt Lake City had the most generous residents, giving away 5.4 percent of their incomes. It was followed by Memphis, Tennessee; Birmingham, Alabama; Atlanta and Nashville, Tennessee. In sixth place was Jacksonville, Florida — which trailed only Las Vegas for the biggest growth rate in giving between 2006 and 2012.

The cities where residents gave the smallest share were Hartford, Connecticut; Providence, Rhode Island, and San Jose, California.

Also, the company’s stronger balance sheet, stable PC margins, improving services profits, better financials and completion of the more difficult parts of its restructuring efforts played a role in its decision to act now, he said.

During its most recent quarter HP reported revenue of $27.6 billion, a 1 percent annual gain. It marked HP’s first yearover-year increase in

quarterly revenue since late 2011.

Printers and computers contributed 51 percent of the company’s quarterly revenue, with the rest coming from technology services like consulting, software and financial programs.

The PC and printer business will use the name HP Inc. and retain the blue and white logo. The services business will be called Hewlett-Packard Enterprise. Whitman will lead

the Enterprise business and serve as non-executive chairman of HP Inc. Current PC and printer chief Dion Weisler will be CEO of HP Inc. HP is expected to complete its latest round of layoffs, between 11,000 to 16,000 people, this month. Total job cuts will now stand at 55,000, up from a planned 50,000. In her interview with CNBC, Whitman left open the possibility for further layoffs as the separate businesses

determine their cost structure going forward.

The split, if approved by the company’s board, is expected to close by the end of fiscal 2015. Once complete, HP stockholders will own shares of both companies.

Shares of Hewlett-Packard Co., based in Palo Alto, California, rose $1.67, or 4.6 percent, to $36.82 in morning trading.

The stock is up 32 percent since the beginning of the year.

“We saw a greater need to bring more transparency and simplicity,” Diab said. He noted the strategy is also part of Wal-Mart’s strategy to build business in wellness and health care.

But he also is counting on the program to bring more

customers to the store.

“The more we can broaden the assortment, the more we can educate our customer, the better off we will be,” he added.

Wal-Martt also is testing 11 health care clinics run by Wal-Mart itself that offer primary care such as health screenings and management of chronic conditions like diabetes.

That’s different from its 100 leased health care clinics in its stores that focus on basic services like flu shots.

The health insurance program works this way: For customers over 65, DirectHealth.com offers access to more than 1,700 plans from 12 carriers including Aetna, Cigna, Humana and UnitedHealthcare during the

Medicare open enrollment period from Oct. 15 through Dec. 7.

For customers under age 65, DirectHeath.com offers access to thousands of health exchange plans from more than 300 carriers. That open enrollment period is Nov. 15 to Feb. 15.

Customers can compare or enroll over the phone by calling 888-383-2111.

It hits closer to home. “Any day, they, too, could become homeless.

IN OUR VIEW | Gay marriage and the U.S. Supreme Court

No going back on gay unions Monday morning’s announcement that the U.S. Supreme Court had rejected appeals from several states seeking to ban same-sex marriages was commonly considered a nondecision decision, a tacit affirmation of appellate court rulings that had overturned laws that barred the marriages.

In truth, the Supreme Court actually decided the issue more than a year ago when it ruled as unconstitutional the federal Defense of Marriage Act passed in 1996. In a pair of decisions, June 26, 2013, the court invalidated the act that had denied federal benefits to legally married gay couples and elected not to hear a challenge that sought to reverse

a lower court’s decision to overturn California’s same-sex marriage ban.

Lower courts, obviously, took heed of the ruling against DOMA. Since then three appellate courts have ruled against same-sex marriage bans in five states. Pending cases in six other states within those three circuits are a certainty now to resolve the same way, bringing to 30 the number of states where same-sex marriage is legal.

There was surprise, even criticism, that the Supreme Court had demurred to the lower courts, that it had sidestepped the issue and would not provide a definitive ruling for all 50 states.

Justice delayed, even if it is

just for two-fifths of the union, remains justice denied. Gay couples can or will soon be able to be married in any of those 30 states. But no couple in the other 20 should have to travel across state lines to get a marriage license. Even so, justice in those other 20 states is not likely to be denied for much longer.

If any federal circuit court does uphold a gay marriage ban, the high court will have no choice but to hear and rule on the case. Granted, the Supreme Court remains as divided as ever, and a justice’s death or retirement could potentially upset its current balance. But reversing its course at this point seems unlikely if not impossible. If

the conservatives on the court had any hope of upholding bans on gay marriage they would have spoken today and would not have forever held their peace.

Opinion polls, the most recent taken in September, find that 55 percent to 56 percent of Americans are supportive of same-sex unions.

Those Americans opposed account for 37 percent to 38 percent. Compare those figures to the 28 percent in 1996, when DOMA became law, who supported gay marriage and the 68 percent who opposed it.

The Supreme Court, its silence speaking loudly, can’t turn back, because the American public won’t turn back.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■I-594

Badly written, it entraps many Regarding Initiative 594: Background checks for private gun sales is the decoy issue. It will not close the real loophole in all gun control laws, which is that criminals ignore them and rarely obtain guns legally.

I-594’s real purpose is to entrap honest gun owners, making them instant felons for innocent, even laudable acts, thus permanently disarming and disenfranchising them.

Page 6: (25) defines any loan as a “Transfer”; Sec 3 (1) requires a background check for all non-exempt sales or “transfers”; 3 (2) requires that they go through a licensed dealer.

Pages 7-8: Sec 3 (4)( f)(ii) By explicitly exempting sharing a gun at an “authorized” shooting range — a “transfer” of a few minutes — I-594 clearly claims to govern such short term “transfers” and to require a background check by a licensed dealer for any “transfer” not at an authorized range, or explicitly exempted. Examples: My brother recently let a second cousin and her fiance shoot his rifle on private property. Lock him up and seize his guns!

A soldier “transfers” her guns to a friend for safe keeping before deploying. Gotcha!

A gun safety student hands a pistol to the instructor to check its safety. Gotcha!.

“Transferring” two rifles to an airline in checked baggage per TSA requirements, or letting a porter or cabbie touch the gun case. Gotcha!

Commission needs shake-up I am writing in response to the article “PUD claims ‘gentlemen’s agreement’ over tidal funding project.” General Manager Steve Klein would have the public believe that there was no written contract for spending on their tidal project with the DOE other than a “gentlemen’s agreement”?

A project with a minimum budgetary figure at over $20 million?

At best that is irresponsible spending of ratepayer funds by the PUD staff. I have a very hard time understanding how the Snohomish County PUD Commissioners could agree to such a loose cannon approach to a business decision. It would appear that PUD commissioners have allowed senior staff unchecked authority in spending ratepayer

money for financially undefined projects.

This is the second time in the last year that the PUD has spent multi-millions of dollars on speculative, unsubstantiated energy projects only to be abandoned. They are currently doing the same kind of spending exploring an ill-advised hydro project on the north fork of the Skykomish River in a proven landslide area. It seems that the current board of commissioners have become complacent with the PUD staff and allow ratepayers to hold the bag.

David Aldrich is up for reelection on the November ballot. It is time for a shakeup on the PUD commission.

Choosing to elect Bruce King to the board would give a fresh voice in these critical issues.

GUEST COMMENTARY | Global warming and human activity

Climate change: Little scientific dissent

By Donald McKim

T

he author of Friday’s letter “Climate change: Definitely not settled science” tells us that the science of global warming is in serious dispute.

That’s a half-truth at best. When you look at the number of “scientific” articles that deny that global warming exists or that the rise carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is mostly due to humans burning fossil fuels, you find few dissenters.

Among the people who actually work on climate-related issues 24/7 in the course of their careers (the actual scientists with expertise, as opposed to the politicians, publicists and attorneys for large fossil fuel companies with expertise mostly in running for office, law, or public relations) disputes are mostly about the details of global warming, not the issue itself. A 2004 study of 928 scientific papers dealing with the subject published between 1993 and 2003 found none that disputed human-caused global warming.

A more comprehensive review of papers

published by scientists in the period 1991 to 2012 found only 24 papers of 13,950 (far less than 1 percent) that claimed to present evidence that global warming was not taking place or that human activity was not largely responsible.

The letter writer pointed to a retired member of Western Washington University’s geology department, Don Easterbrook, in support of his views that global warming is a fraud. However, it should be pointed out that the current faculty of the WWU’s geology department found it necessary in an open letter to the Bellingham Herald (March 2013) to repudiate the views of their “longretired” faculty member. It seems that Mr. Easterbrook not only badly twisted data to support his views (in one case representing century-old data from 1855 as “present temperature”), but also seems to be enamored of totally unfounded conspiracy theories in which he accuses the rest of the scientific community of deliberate data falsification and misrepresentation.

It is not without interest that Don Easterbrook has been heavily involved with the Heartland Institute that is heavily funded by the fossil fuel industry (including the billionaire Koch Brothers and Exxon Mobil), or that Heartland played a similar role in misleading the public on the smoking-cancer connection when heavily financed by the tobacco industry.

It’s too bad that climate change has become such a political football. The public has been badly misled by a sophisticated and well-funded marketing campaign. Carbon levels in the atmosphere are higher now than they have been at any time since biologically modern humans have been around. Politics and propaganda aside, it is a simple fact that we face a serious and dangerous threat from climate change in the years ahead. Anyone wanting clear “factual” information on global warming and its controversies can get a good start at this website: www.skepticalscience.com.

We’ve reached gay marriage’s tipping point

B

y deciding not to decide, the Supreme Court may have decided: If history is a guide, same-sex marriage will soon be the law of the land.

The court’s refusal to take up cases brought by five states seeking to overturn appellate court rulings in favor of gay marriage — Indiana, Oklahoma, Utah, Virginia and Wisconsin — was a surprise.

It does not mean that Chief Justice John Roberts and the conservative majority have gone all “Kumbaya.” But it can be seen as a surrender to the inevitable.

The justices’ decision not to intervene means that same-sex marriage is EUGENE ROBINSON now legal in 24 states plus the District of Columbia. Six other states — North Carolina, South Carolina, West Virginia, Kansas, Colorado and Wyoming — must also heed the appeals courts whose rulings the justices allowed to stand.

This means that in three-fifths of the states plus the nation’s capital, gay marriage would be considered a constitutional right. I’d call that a tipping point.

The obvious historical touchstone is the court’s 1967 ruling in Loving v. Virginia, which struck down laws banning interracial marriage. At the time, large majorities throughout the South opposed legalizing marriage between blacks and whites. But only 16 states still had laws on the books banning unions that were sneeringly referred to as miscegenation.

It is hard for our children to believe that such bigoted laws ever existed. After today, it’s reasonable to expect that our grandchildren will be equally puzzled about laws against same-sex marriage.

I don’t get to write the following words often, but Justice Antonin Scalia was right.

Not about gay marriage, of course. Scalia is so antediluvian that he has trouble forcing himself to call it by its proper name. In his dissents, he tends to use the phrase “homosexual sodomy,” which he believes the states should be free to condemn and punish.

But he saw that the court’s decision last year striking down the federal Defense of Marriage Act was a landmark ruling that would ultimately establish gay marriage as an inalienable right.

“By formally declaring anyone opposed to same-sex marriage an enemy of human decency, the majority arms well every challenger to a state law restricting marriage to its traditional definition,” Scalia wrote.

Last year’s ruling sought to walk an impossibly fine line. Ostensibly, it did not establish a right to same-sex marriage. But it made a powerful moral and constitutional argument for doing so.

In a host of rulings since then, federal appeals courts have been unanimous — and judges in the lower federal courts nearly so — in interpreting the Defense of Marriage Act decision the way Scalia does: as a declaration that the government has no more right preventing marriage between two men or two women than between blacks and whites.

As ruling after ruling struck down state bans, whether enacted by statute or enshrined in state constitutions, legal analysts predicted the Supreme Court would have to clarify things: Yes, same-sex marriage is a protected right, or no, it isn’t.

The court surprised almost everyone by declining to revisit the issue at all.

There is sound legal reasoning for this demurral: Since the various courts of appeal have so far come to the same conclusion, there’s no dispute for the Supreme Court to settle. If at some point there is an appeals court ruling to the contrary — holding that states do have the right to ban gay marriage — then at that point the justices could step in.

But the court must be aware that by failing to act, it is giving the appeals courts a green light to proceed — and creating facts on the ground that will be all but impossible to erase.

Monday’s non-action means that many more same-sex couples will now be able to marry, and that their marriages — and others — will be recognized in more states. President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder have taken steps to ensure that the marriages will also be recognized by the federal government.

Years will pass. The world will not come to an end. States will be unable to claim any compelling interest in banning gay marriage, since so many Americans will have survived its legalization just fine.

It’s over. Hoorays are definitely in order.

Test your vitamin D deficiency knowledge

I

t’s easy to become vitamin D deficient. According to research, many of us are low in the vitamin, which is needed in adequate amounts for good health. Test your knowledge of vitamin D deficiency with this quiz.

1. What jobs does vitamin D perform in the body? a. Strengthens bones b. Improves heart health c. Regulates immunity d. All of the above 2. Vitamin D behaves like a hormone in the body. True or false?

3. An increased risk of vitamin D deficiency is linked with: a. Outdoor jobs b. Northern climates c. Slender physique d. Younger age 4. Which condition is not associated with low vitamin D levels? a. Type 2 diabetes b. Rheumatoid arthritis c. Ulcerative colitis d. Multiple sclerosis 5. An excess of vitamin D leads to osteoporosis. True or false?

6. The recommended amount for all adults is 200 International Units (IU) a day.

True or false?

7. The best food source of vitamin D is: a. Fresh-squeezed orange juice b. Raw milk c. Seafood d. Hot oatmeal Answers 1. d. Vitamin D has many roles. It strengthens teeth and bones, fosters heart health, and improves immunity to infections. Early research suggests that it may also reduce the risk for cancers of the colon, breast, ovaries and prostate.

2. True. Uniquely different from any of the other vitamins that your body requires, vitamin D acts like a hormone, helping relay chemical messages around the body. This hormone-like activity makes vitamin D invaluable in a wide range of health-related tasks.

3. b. Growing evidence suggests that almost everyone is at risk for vitamin D deficiency.

Factors that elevate that risk include indoor jobs, northern climes, older age, and obesity.

Dark skin, digestive or kidney disease, and exclusive breastfeeding in infants can pose additional risks.

4. a. A deficiency of vitamin D has been linked to type 1 diabetes, the insulin-dependent type that usually starts in childhood. Autoimmune disorders such a rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, and multiple sclerosis are also associated with lower levels of vitamin D. 5. False. A long-term deficiency of vitamin D can result in osteoporosis, the brittlebone disease that may lead to broken hips. A shortage may also result in bone diseases such as rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults.

Excess amounts of vitamin D may result in nausea, vomiting, See SMOOTS, Page B5

A cluttered desk can add stress to one’s work life.

Can pack rats declutter?

With help from the pros, almost anyone can achieve a clean desk

By Barbara Brotman Chicago Tribune

Let’s see: a 2011 magazine article about the 20 best vacuums; a handwritten note to myself headed, “Where did I put it?”; the lab results from a 2005 cholesterol test.

Sometimes a new season in life calls for a tidy desk.

So goes the dream that seizes me periodically and sends me to my desk and my file folders, those repositories of ancient newspaper clippings, printouts of once-urgent information and occasional oddities like pieces of acorns.

What is it about the prospect of a clean desk that is so entrancing? I swoon at the thought.

Imagine: a bare, sleek desktop, gleaming with order and calm. File folders pruned so severely that they hang from their rails freely, air on both sides. A junk drawer that belies the name.

Who wouldn’t want to reach such organizational nirvana?

And so I set to the task. Hours and days later, I emerged with some thoughts about how to thin the paper herd and a desire to perform public service by sharing them.

Here, from my experience, are some rules of thumb:

Imagine: a bare, sleek desktop, gleaming with order and calm.

File folders pruned so severely that they hang from their rails freely, air on both sides. A junk drawer that belies the name.

■■You can get rid of the 2006 Fall & Winter Visitor Guide to the Chicago Botanic Garden.

■■You can toss that 2011 newspaper article suggesting impressive tech gifts for the winter holidays, as these are probably unimpressive in 2014.

■■You can throw out the printout of a passenger itinerary for a flight your daughter took in 2007.

■■You can lose your Blockbuster membership card from 2003.

■■That 2005 cholesterol test? My rule of thumb would say to throw it out.

But it turns out that professional

organizers have their own guidelines. And medical results pass muster with Amy Trager, a certified professional organizer who is president of the National Association of Professional Organizers.

Save them, she said, because if you switch doctors, it’s easier to hand over a piece of paper with lab results than search for your medical records.

I paused in my gathering of my own rules of thumb to hear from the professionals. Trager listed a few other must-saves that seem obvious: birth certificates, death certificates, documents of marriage and divorce. Documents related to purchases or sales of property. Current insurance policies. Whatever tax return-supporting documents you might need if you were audited.

Beyond that, she advises a heavy hand on the shredder, and using it for anything outside the current calendar year — or even, if you can manage it emotionally, beyond the last month.

As for the thorny stuff — what she calls For Fun Information, those articles and catalog pages people still clip out — she suggests asking yourself two questions: Are you really going to take the time to look at See CLUTTER, Page B5

Report offers healthy habits to prevent dementia

“S

omething’s not right with my brain,” my dad told me the year before he was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease — the most common cause of dementia that destroys brains cells and nerves that carry messages in the brain. He was in his 70s at the time and the man I had always admired for his sharp memory.

Even though we sometimes forget things as we get older, dementia is not a part of normal aging, say experts from Alzheimer’s Disease International (ADI) which just released the World Alzheimer Report 2014. According to these experts, “a whole raft of research studies” now demonstrate that we may reduce our risk for developing dementia if we follow healthier lifestyles.

Here are some of the key recommendations from this report: Take care of your heart.

INSIDE: Comics, 2

|

Puzzles, 2

|

What’s good for our heart is also very good for our brain, say experts. That includes strategies to control blood cholesterol and other markers of heart disease.

Don’t smoke. After the age of 65, ex-smokers have the same risk of dementia as people who have never smoked. Those who continue to smoke, however, are at much higher risk.

Keep your blood pressure under control. Raised blood pressure in our middle years of life is associated with a “considerable increase in risk for dementia in late life,” stated one reviewer of this report.

Be physically active. When we keep our bodies healthy, we keep our brains healthy, too, say researchers. Besides helping to control blood pressure and cholesterol levels, exercise may directly improve the function of nerves and memory transmitters

in the brain, according to this report. They also urge more study in this area.

Eat a healthy diet.

Most promising to ward off dementia appears to be the Mediterranean-type of diet, say researchers. This eating style — rich in cereals, fruits, fish, legumes, and vegetables — supplies key nutrients that nourish brain development and health such as omega-3 fats from fish and B-vitamins from cereals and legumes. And a diet rich in fruits and vegetables supplies a host of antioxidant nutrients that can protect message-carrying neurons in the brain.

Keep your blood glucose (sugar) levels under control.

People with diabetes have a 50 percent increased chance to develop dementia later in life, according to this report.

Challenge your brain.

Seems Like Yesterday, 4

|

Short Takes, 4

Mentally stimulating activities throughout life can help ward off the development of dementia later in life.

Enjoy social activities. I really like this recommendation. It’s based on evidence that enjoying ourselves in social situations can help stave off dementia.

Aging is a gift, this report reminds us. And making good choices can help determine how well we age. Lastly, keep learning, say these experts. Education in early life and beyond is strongly protective against dementia.

With family income, time is money

DAILY CROSSWORD

Adapted from a recent online discussion.

Dear Carolyn: My husband and I make around the same amount of money. Soon, he will make more than three times as much. While this is great for us overall, I am a little worried about how it will affect the dynamic of our relationship, particularly since my job is a freelance, work-from-home type thing. Any tips for finding the balance between picking up the slack as he transitions into a more demanding role and not accidentally turning into a housewife?

— Income Disparity This is actually a time question, not a money question. If you both keep putting equivalent time toward the greater good of the marriage — which can include child-rearing, earning money, doing chores, talking to and listening to each other, enjoying shared experiences, maintaining ties with friends and family — then there’s no reason your marriage dynamic should change as a result of his raise. As long as you deal with conflicts as they come up, versus letting them metastasize into resentments, it’s strictly a matter of adjusting the division of labor to account for his more demanding job: You’re doing more chores because he’s now at work 10 more

CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT hours a week, not because he’s suddenly a more important person than you are.

Re: Disparity: How about using the additional income to farm out chores he can’t do? I make three times what my husband does and travel for work.

We have a list of people to do odd jobs so that he isn’t overburdened — he also works full time. I keep a list of babysitters for when he needs extra help (and don’t blink about paying for it).

I try to keep in mind how I would feel in his place. Just because I am earning more doesn’t mean he should have to pick up more work. I equate more money as an opportunity for both of us to have a little better life.

— Anonymous Thanks. You’re likely helping others who need the work, too.

DENNIS THE MENACE

Dear Carolyn: I am 35 and have been with my boyfriend, 31, for a year and a half.

We have lived together for a year, and although we love each other a great deal, he is not ready to marry.

I have limited time available if I want to have children, but I do feel comfortable waiting a few more years.

Recently, a job opportunity has come up in another city and I have considered moving. My boyfriend has decided he isn’t ready to make the commitment to move with me, even though his career is in flux and he would like a different job.

Is it worth continuing the relationship at all? Is his indecision a decision of its own?

— Wait It Out or Move On? At your ages, certainly, it could be. So make the decision on the job/move based solely on the merits, for you and your career, of the job/move. If you move, your boyfriend can always decide later to join you. And if you stay for your own reasons, fine — but “wait”? No. Not unless you’re so confident in him and in his reasons for hesitating that, even if he ultimately breaks up with you, you wouldn’t regret having given him time.

Mom just loves to make the beds Dear Abby: My husband and I have four great kids.

They are well-behaved, respectful and full of fun.

Hubby and I are having a disagreement concerning them, however.

I am an admitted “bed snob.” I make every bed in the house every day, just the way I want them done.

It makes me crazy when my husband insists that the kids do it themselves.

Our kids have homework, daily chores they alternate (cleaning the kitchen after dinner, doing laundry, etc.), as well as what we call “Chore Day Sunday,” which is a family affair when everyone has a list of larger chores to complete.

The kids know how to make their beds because I have taught them, and I feel that insisting they make their beds daily, too, is silly.

I ENJOY doing this small thing. Am I crazy or is he overreacting? — Homemaker in Georgia Dear Homemaker: You’re not crazy. I’d be curious to know why your husband feels so strongly about this, particularly since the kids know how to make their beds and you have made clear that you do it because you enjoy it.

Having their beds made for them won’t scar your offspring for life, so ask “Hubby” to indulge you by letting it go and not creating a problem where one doesn’t exist.

Dear Abby: Two of my granddaughters have posted pictures on Instagram that show them facing away from the camera with their bottoms covered and their tops nude.

Calm down and thank your higher power that this fad is tame.

Dear Abby: What kind of advice do you have for a guy who is falling in love with a co-worker? We are nurses in a fast-paced intensive care unit. We greatly depend on each other to provide patient care and emotional support. I want to tell her how I feel, but the fear of messing things up with her scares me. — R.N. With a Secret Dear R.N.: Not knowing what the policy at your hospital is regarding workplace romances, you’d be wise to start slowly. I assume you see her outside the ICU. A way to start would be to ask her to join you for lunch, coffee, or a drink and “quick dinner” after work. If she says yes, it means she could be interested in you, too.

If not — perhaps because she’s already involved with someone — you won’t be embarrassed.

BRIDGE At the ACBL Summer Championships, expert Kit Woolsey produced a fine piece of card-reading.

South’s opening bid was strong and artificial. North’s one heart was artificial, showing spades; his four hearts was a “transfer.” Against four spades, West led the jack of diamonds, and East won with the king and led his low trump.

Declarer’s percentage play was to finesse, but Woolsey saw that he was at risk only if East had the king of clubs.

Then South might lose two clubs as well as a diamond and a trump.

But if East had the king of clubs, he wasn’t likely to have the king of trumps. East had shown the A-K of diamonds, and with both black kings (and maybe a heart honor), he might have entered the auction. So Woolsey put up his ace of trumps — felling the king. He lost two clubs but made game.

‘Portlandia’ bookstore faces closure

THE CLICKER Among Tuesday’s best bets on TV: Do you have a need for speed? Check out “The Flash,” one of this fall’s best pilot episodes.

Grant Gustin stars as the fastest superhero in the comic-book world. The opener airs in front of the Season 10 premiere of “Supernatural.” 8 p.m., The CW. In “Finding Your Roots With Henry Louis Gates Jr.,” documentary filmmaker Ken Burns discovers that his ancestors were Confederate soldiers and slave owners. 8 p.m., PBS From Herald news services

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Tuesday, Oct. 7, the 280th day of 2014.

There are 85 days left in the year.

Today’s highlight: On Oct. 7, 1954, Marian Anderson became the first black singer hired by the Metropolitan Opera Company in New York. (Anderson made her Met debut in January 1955 playing the role of Ulrica in Verdi’s “Un Ballo in Maschera.”)

In 1960, Democratic presidential candidate John F. Kennedy and Republican opponent Richard Nixon held their second televised debate, this one in Washington.

Associated Press

Associated Press PORTLAND, Ore. — The real Portland, Oregon, store used in comedy sketches about a feminist bookstore on the TV show “Portlandia” is in financial trouble and could close by February, its leaders say.

The store called In Other Words has been dubbed Women & Women First in the IFC show. It has gained attention from the sketches featuring Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein, in character as feminist bookstore owners Toni and Candace.

as proprietors whose politics and attitudes — “We can order that for you.

SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY

It will take a year to get here” — can be difficult for a variety of customers played by the likes of Steve Buscemi.

In 2011, after the first season of the series, Armisen and Brownstein appeared at a fundraiser for the store.

But the attention hasn’t meant financial success, The Oregonian reported.

Like other independent American booksellers, In Other Words has been pressured by changes in the business, first from chain stores and then from of digital technology and e-readers.

50 years ago (1964) Everybody, but everybody was backing the United Good Neighbors fund campaign this fall. This included small business head Harold Berry of Berry’s Meat Market, Owen Ness at Karl’s Bakery and Jeanne Winant, an employee at Lion’s Furniture.

Everett Park Department crews were busy planting Evergreen trees in new street planters being installed in the downtown business district. Financed by local merchants through the Retail Trades Bureau, the planters would be maintained by the park department.

25 years ago (1989) EvCC teacher David McCourt was retiring after trying to keep the humanities alive in what had essentially become a trade school.

The popular political science professor said it was time to throw off the old coat as teacher and lecturer and let the winds do what they will.

Daisy Twiss and Gene Murry wheeled through their routine, performed to the tune, “Surry With the Fringe on Top.” They were part of the Josephine Sunset Home Precision Wheelchair Drill Team. Administrator Monica Mattson came up with the idea after seeing the Warm Beach Athletic Team’s lawnmower drill team.

By Jack O’Donnell from Herald archives at the Everett Public Library.

MUSIC

Aldean focuses on rock side on ‘Old Boots’ Jason Aldean, who helped elevate hard rock dynamics and hip-hop conventions in contemporary country music, focuses on his rock side on his sixth studio album, “Old Boots, New Dirt.”

Aldean has always pushed musical innovation with hits such as “Hicktown,” “Dirt Road Anthem” and “1994.” But the new album doesn’t offer the surprises of his past efforts.

Downplaying his rap influences, Aldean’s new tracks would have fit on a latterday Aerosmith recording, with dirt roads replacing bright lights. He repeatedly echoes ‘80s hard-rock swagger on songs about partying hard (“Just Gettin’ Started,” “Gonna Know We Were Here”), being on the lookout for a new “girl” (“Sweet Little Somethin”’) and emphasizing sex rather than romance (“Burnin’ It Down,” “Laid Back”).

But too much of “Old Boots, New Dirt” seems overly predictable, with

song after song about drinking, trucks and tan young women in tight jeans dancing and flirting.

For a groundbreaker like Aldean, “Old Boots, New Dirt” contains too much old and not enough new.

Romance rules on ‘Best’ soundtrack Various Artists, “The Best of Me” Soundtrack (EMI Nashville/Relativity) True love songs are rare these days on country music radio. But romance rules on the soundtrack of “The Best of Me,” based on a novel by Nicholas Sparks, the king of sentimental relationship tales.

Mirroring past Sparks page-to-screen love stories — “The Notebook,” “A Walk to Remember,” “Safe Haven” — “The Best of Me” gives a long list of young contemporary country and pop singers a chance to celebrate passion and everlasting love.

For the most part, the performers all make the best of these heart-searching songs. Colbie Caillat turns in a goose bumpsraising performance on “In Love Again,” as does newcomer Phoebe Hoffman on “Crossroads.” The blended voices of Lady Antebellum (“I Did With You,” “Falling for You”) and Thompson Square (“Borrowed Time”) sound well-suited for songs about the power of togetherness. Similarly, the Eli Young Band proves adept once again at exploring the sensitive side of bonding on “Unchanged.”

Marr on his game with ‘Playland’ Johnny Marr, “Playland” (Warner) When Johnny Marr completed his first solo album, “The Messenger,” in 2013, the man behind the beautifully maudlin rhythms of The Smiths didn’t rest on his laurels. He continued to write, and his sophomore

effort, “Playland,” is the pleasant result of that work ethic.

“Playland” is strong with guitar certainly, but is also rich with hooks and a decidedly energetic pace.

If you’re waiting for sad Smith-ian sand kickers, you won’t find them here.

Marr is ready to embrace the pell-mell pace of the universe on “Back in the Box.” “Just everything is breaking us out/ From the inside and the outside,” Marr sings on that track.

Marr airs out things into a larger wall of sound, offering the solid song “Candidate” about living in the moment. I’m tempted to play that song backward to discern if there’s a hidden clue about a reunion of The Smiths. Mercurial Smiths frontman Morrissey and Marr remain publicly at odds over the proposal, but there’s always hope.

Meanwhile, Marr’s solo effort on “Playland” proves he’s capable of going it alone.

DEDICATED TO REPORTING THE NEWS Join Sno-Isle Libraries, The Daily Herald and Edmonds Bookshop for an illustrated talk by Paul Steinle and Sara Brown about their recent book

“PRACTICING JOURNALISM”

FREE EVENT!

Tuesday, Oct. 7 7pm-8:30pm Plaza Room Edmonds Library “Practicing Journalism” is about the varied reasons why journalists remain dedicated to reporting the news. At a time newspapers are under siege and laying off workers, many newspaper professionals soldier on. Why? At what point in their careers did the power and purpose of journalism captivate them? What happened, and what did they learn? Authors Paul Steinle and Sara Brown, Ph.D., decided to find out by interviewing editors and publishers, face-to-face, across America. Their book features profiles and first-person interviews – stories of challenging authority, serving community, embracing empathy and influencing change. It includes testimonies from 91 journalists.

it? Can you get the information somewhere else, like online?

The questions cut to the quick of my entire “Gardening� file folder. It is filled with fine information. I have never looked at anything in it. I could throw the whole thing out without looking, if I could muster the strength.

Pooja Gugnani, a professional organizer and founder of Organizing With You, offered salve for the magazine-clipper’s wounds. “If it’s absolutely something you don’t think you can find online, you can scan it,� she said. “And if you don’t have a scanner and you absolutely need it, I would say you need to have either a binder or a file folder.�

In which case, she counsels applying the “one-in, one-out� rule, tossing one item every time you add one so it doesn’t become a slush pile.

It’s a dispiriting exercise, exorcising your desk. All those interests and plans filed away, and then forgotten. All

that excellent information on the comparative qualities of different brands of opaque tights in an article unseen since the day it was filed away. All that nowuseless paperwork that simply accumulated.

On I pushed, through Target receipts from 2008; a 2005 article on a beautiful back yard that I have not looked at since 2005; a printout of the shipping tracking information for a long-ago-purchased shower curtain.

The task seemed insurmountable. For the intimidated, the professionals counsel strategies: “Always start with surfaces first, like the desk surface,� Gugnani said. “That gives you a working space.�

Sit down with three bags or bins, counseled Trager: “one for recycling; one for shredding; one for things you want to keep.�

As I tossed paper, I daydreamed of the paperless office. Maybe one day I won’t have a desk with file cabinets at all — just a laptop and serenity.

Though apparently, not necessarily. “A lot of the work I’m doing now is helping people de-clutter their computers — their email, their file folders,� Gugnani said.

Three tips for healing shin splints

By Constance Sommer Los Angeles Times

If you feel the symptoms of shin splints, don’t try to run through them, doctors say.

Here are some tips on healing shin splints: Stretch: It’s also a good idea to stretch out and strengthen the calf muscles with targeted exercises.

Fred Azar, a team physician for an NBA team,

recommends leaning forward against a wall, putting one foot in front of the other, as though in mid-stride, and flexing the back foot to stretch the back of the heel cord. To stretch the front part of the shin, he says, sit in a chair, straighten the legs and point the toes forward.

Footwork: Another part of the body that deserves attention is the foot. Put a

hand towel on the floor and use your toes to pull it in toward you, Gillespie says.

Or use your toes to pick up small objects, such as rocks, Legos or pencils.

New shoes: To avoid injury, change your athletic shoes regularly. Azar recommends a new pair every 300 to 400 miles. Also, if you suspect you may have flat arches, ask your doctor about orthotics — shoe

IAN TERRY / THE HERALD

Natalie O’Hare of the Everett Rowing Association practices with her teammates last month in the Snohomish River near the ERA boathouse.

Making the tough choice

MONROE — Monroe dropped a pivitol Wesco 4A match against Jackson on Monday night, dropping the Bearcats down to 2-5 in the league and overall standings this season.

“Jackson came out on fire. They had strong positive energy the whole time and I think thats why they came out on top.” Monroe head coach April Munoz said.

Despite strong performances from Amalia Ruiz (10 digs, 23 assists) and Jessica Clark (10 digs, 10 kills, 2 aces), the Bearcats fell short.

“Our set that we won, (Clark) showed so much fire and positive attitude that it bled into everybody and it was a big reason why we won that particular set.” Munoz said.

2014 GAME 4

By Aaron Lommers Herald Writer

A year ago, Natalie O’Hare, then a sophomore, was on her way to becoming a first-team All-Wesco setter for the Jackson volleyball team. She hadn’t been at the sport long. She started playing in middle school and her skills developed quickly.

She had a similar experience when she took up rowing a little less than a year ago. Both her skill and her love of the sport grew rapidly.

So much so that this past spring she played club volleyball and rowed in the same season, but conflicting schedules this fall forced her to make a choice.

Despite being an accomplished volleyball player, O’Hare chose to go with her new-found love and dedicated herself to crew.

“I thought about it for a while,” she said of her decision to row, “it was pretty hard.”

Padraic McGovern is the director of the Everett Rowing Association — the club O’Hare rows for — and has seen other athletes forced to make similar decisions. It’s not something he takes lightly.

“We try to give all the athletes down here the best experience possible, and some of the athletes really take to it and they come to that decision on their own,” McGovern said. “I certainly respect (their decision). I think everybody that is serious about this sport has made choices and I am very aware of the thought that goes into that — the deep amount of thought and the courage that it takes.

“It’s a courageous decision to do something that you’ve done for a really long time and something that you’ve been a really accomplished athlete at and to make a change like that, it’s admirable and courageous.”

O’Hare’s teammates and coaches at Jackson were sad to

With crew, you never really have a max.

Natalie O’Hare (4) goes up for a block in a match against Snohomish last October. O’Hare earned All-Wesco honors as a sophomore.

see her go, but supported her decision.

“I think everyone on the team wishes her well,” Jackson head coach Mindy Staudinger said.

“She found crew and she really enjoys it and the honest reaction was, ‘We’re glad you have something that you’re really passionate about and we wish you well and we’re happy that you found something that you really love to do.’”

O’Hare was in eighth grade when her older sister Emily first tried crew. O’Hare joined her sister on the water one day and slowly got hooked.

“I just like the feeling when you’re on the water,” O’Hare said.

“It’s like no other for me.

“I love rowing in the morning because usually the water is really nice and the sun is coming up. It’s just really calm.”

McGovern shares O’Hare’s sentiments and said he thinks O’Hare fell in love with sport’s finer qualities.

“The motion of the sport I think is intriguing,” McGovern said.

“When you get out on the boat and you’re doing it correctly, you feel like you’re both doing all the work, but doing none of the work.

You’re both anonymous, but also

an integral part of this living thing that’s flying across the water. It’s really an amazing feeling. It’s very intense and it’s personal.”

O’Hare and her sister both found success on the water.

“Natalie and her sister, they share a lot of traits,” McGovern said. “They are both extremely strong, extremely tough and they are both extremely driven.”

That drive has helped O’Hare become one of the top girls in McGovern’s program in less than a year. There are 24 girls in the varsity division and they are divided into three groups of eight based on skill level. O’Hare is in the top group.

McGovern said her rapid improvement isn’t something you see every day. “It’s above average and it’s on par with some of the best athletes that have come (through) the program,” he said.

O’Hare’s first competitive event of the year in an ERA shell was the Row for the Cure exhibition on Sept. 21. Her boat placed second out of 10 competitors. Most recently, O’Hare and her teammates competed Sunday at the Tail of the Lake in Seattle, placing fifth out of seven boats.

The same qualities that made O’Hare an exceptional setter for

— Natalie O’Hare of the Everett Rowing Association

Staudinger are the same qualities that have helped her become one of McGovern’s top rowers.

“She’s driven, she’s very cerebral and she’s extremely focused,” McGovern said. “I think she takes to the technical nature of it, but then I think she takes to the physical nature of it. I think the different aspects of the sport just appeal to those powerful aspects of her personality.”

O’Hare said she’s loves being on the water because it gives her the opportunity to push herself every day.

“With other sports, you can get to a certain point and you’ve reached the max,” O’Hare said.

“With crew, you never really have a max. Once you’ve reached your best, that doesn’t become your best the next day. That’s your mediocre that next day. You can always just push yourself and get faster and get stronger.

“There’s no limit to it.”

COMMENTARY

Seahawks were out of synch and out of whack

ANDOVER, Md. — The Seattle Seahawks like to say that every game is a “championship opportunity,” although they didn’t need to give a championship performance on Monday night against Washington.

They weren’t sharp nor finely tuned, except for quarterback Russell Wilson, who seems incapable of allowing his team to lose, and Percy Harvin, who scored the rare Phantom Hat Trick.

On what would be the deciding drive late in the final minutes of what turned into a 27-17 Seattle win, the Seahawks faced third-and-four with enough time for the Redskins to rally.

Defenders poured through gaps in the offensive line and had Wilson pinned down from every angle.

But he strategically retreated, spun a few times, did a pirouette and a triple Lutz, dematerialized and reformed in the open where he somehow See BOLING, Page C5

LANDOVER, Md. — Richard Sherman put it best. As usual.

How much of the outspoken, often dead-on All-Pro cornerback felt this Seattle Seahawks win ✓ Seahawks web extra C5 should have ✓ Seahawks report card C5 been by, oh, ✓ Game statistics C5 five touch✓ What we learned C5 downs instead of 10 points?

“A lot of me thinks that. It should have been 45-10,” Sherman said inside the visitors’ locker room beneath FedEx Field Monday night. “There was never a point where we were worried.

“I mean, we were in control.”

Record-setting Halliday is ‘best quarterback’ in Pac-12

By Nicholas K. Geranios Associated Press

PULLMAN — Washington State quarterback Connor Halliday’s fourth pass of the game went for a 90-yard touchdown, and it was off to the races for the senior on a night when he would throw for an NCAA-record 734 yards against California.

The problem was that his team lost 60-59 Saturday night when a 19-yard field goal attempt in the closing seconds was wide right.

“It really doesn’t mean too much,” a disappointed Halliday said after the game. “It’ll be fun to look back on it when I’m 30 years old.”

On Monday, the Pac-12 Conference named Halliday its Offensive Player of the Week for his performance against Cal. Coach Mike Leach said Monday that the performance, which broke the FBS record of 716 yards set by David Klingler of Houston in 1990, should put Halliday’s name in contention for the Heisman Trophy. “He’s the best quarterback in this conference,” Leach said.

For his part, Halliday said he felt the Cougars (2-4, 1-2 Pac-12) would win the offensive shootout with Cal, which featured a combined 56 points scored in the third quarter alone.

“It’s a weird feeling,” he said.

“It’s kind of, ‘We’re going to win this game no matter what.’

The game is on our shoulders offensively,” But “after every time you score you realize you’re going to need another one,” he said.

Halliday was the nation’s passing yardage leader coming into the game.

Against Cal, he completed 49 of 70 passes for six touchdowns. He was not intercepted or sacked in the game.

“Connor played well today,” receiver River Cracraft said after the game. “Aside from the record, we lost the game.”

Julius Honka isn’t returning to the Swift Current Broncos. And the controversial nature of his departure may have a long-term effect on the WHL and its import players.

A loophole in the agreements between the NHL, the Canadian Hockey League and the European leagues means that Honka will be playing in the American Hockey League this season, despite being in his 19-year-old season and drafted out of the WHL. Honka, a defenseman from Finland, was selected in the 2013 CHL import draft by Swift Current. He played his 18-yearold season with the Broncos and starred, notching 16 goals and 40 assists in 62 games. After the season he was selected in the first round (14th overall) of the NHL draft by the Dallas Stars.

The collective bargaining agreement between the NHL and the CHL states that players drafted out of the CHL cannot play professionally in the minor leagues until their 20-yearold seasons. Therefore, Honka should have had just two possible destinations this season, Dallas or Swift Current.

However, there was disagreement on Honka’s status, whether he was Broncos property or just on loan from his Finnish team,

JYP, with whom he signed a professional contract prior to being drafted by Swift Current.

According to the Dallas Morning News, Honka had to either return to play in Finland or play in the AHL, because the loan to Swift Current was for just one season.

“It was a decision that we talked about, and he wanted to play in the AHL, so we feel good about this,” Stars general manager Jim Nill told the Morning News. “In seeing him in Traverse City and in training camp, he’s a very mature player who is more than ready for this.”

Therefore, Honka will spend the season with the AHL’s Texas Stars — a year earlier than the existing rules suggested he should. This could lead to more cases like Honka’s. If the loophole isn’t closed, more top-end European talents may be loaned to their CHL teams with the intention of getting the players into the AHL earlier than they usually would be eligible.

Meanwhile, Swift Current is left out in the cold. The Broncos had Honka penciled in as the anchor of its defense this season. Now Swift Current must unexpectedly proceed without arguably its best player.

Around the WHL Brandon benefitted from player unrest in Lethbridge, acquiring 18-year-old forward Reid Duke,

19-year-old defenseman Macoy Erkamps and prospect forward Tak Anholt from the Hurricanes in exchange for 18-year-old defenseman Kord Pankewicz and 18-year-old forwards Brett Kitt and Ryley Lindgren. Duke and Erkamps were two of Lethbridge’s top players last season, but both failed to report to training camp, though Duke eventually reported. It is the third time in the past 18 months that Brandon has acquired elite talent from Lethbridge in exchange for role players. … Two of the league’s premier performers are headed back to the league as the NHL’s Winnipeg Jets returned 19-year-old forward Nicolas Petan to Portland and 19-year-old defenseman Josh Morrissey to Prince Albert. … Spokane returned 19-year-old goaltender Alex Moodie to Saskatoon. The Chiefs acquired Moodie in May in exchange for a conditional fourth-round pick in the 2016 bantam draft. By returning Moodie to Saskatoon, Spokane gets the draft pick back. … Kelowna’s Madison Bowey was named the WHL Player of the Week. The 19-year-old defenseman had two goals and six assists as the Rockets went 3-0.

UW defensive duo attacks QBs

By Tim Booth Associated Press

SEATTLE — There was no plan for the Washington duo of Danny Shelton and Hau’oli Kikaha to turn their preseason goal of trying to get to the quarterback into a friendly competition.

It’s just become that way with the two among the national leaders in sacks after five games.

“We weren’t taking it as an actual wager,” Shelton joked recently.

Through five games, Shelton and Kikaha have provided the pressure Washington was hoping to get from its defensive line.

Both players have seven sacks — tied for third nationally — and are likely to get more chances this Saturday when the Huskies return from their bye week against pass-happy California.

It’s the only bye week of the season for Washington (4-1, 0-1 Pac-12) and was a needed rest.

After a physical 20-13 loss to Stanford on Sept. 27, the Huskies now face three straight hightempo offenses: At California, at No. 12 Oregon and vs. No. 20 Arizona State to close out October.

“We’ve got a long season in front of us still to make sure

we’re rested up and ready for this grind that’s going to take place,” Washington coach Chris Petersen said. “Nobody else in the conference has one bye.

We’re the only team that does, so now we have straight games all the way through. This is going to be hard.”

Seeing Kikaha near the top of the list for sack leaders was expected. The versatile senior played defensive end in recent year before being moved to a hybrid defensive end/linebacker position this year in a scheme brought from Boise State by Petersen and defensive coordinator Pete Kwiatkowski. Kikaha had 13 sacks as a junior, tied for the second-most in Washington history. He has 24 total sacks in his career and needs six more to tie the school record of 30.

But Shelton being near the top of the list is a bit of a surprise. Shelton’s primary job for much of his Washington career has been using his 6-foot-2, 330pound frame to try to clog up the middle and stop the run. Getting to the quarterback has been secondary.

What Shelton has is unique quickness for a defensive tackle and that’s led Washington to use him in different spots on the

defensive line early this season to see if he can be effective lining up as a defensive end or even a stand-up rusher.

“I think we know what Danny can do, but I think it’s about moving combinations around and still getting him to do what he does well,” Petersen said. “But line him up different ways so not everybody sees going against that guy 40 plays in a row.”

Some of Shelton’s stats are inflated thanks to four sacks against FCS powerhouse Eastern Washington in the Huskies’ second game. But the pass-rush ability seems to be catching the eye of NFL scouts. Shelton has gone from being a possible second-day pick to now a potential first-rounder according to some draft analysts.

Shelton said he never expected to be competing with Kikaha among the sack leaders.

He’s the only defensive tackle among the top eight in the country in sacks through five games.

“I’m not going to be complacent. I’m going to continue to work my butt off and get some more sacks,” Shelton said. “My position is super hard to get into the backfield. I’m going to continue to do my job and whatever happens, happens.”

Snohomish 3, Mariner 1

Halliday From Page C1

Halliday’s performance was only the second time in FBS history that a quarterback has topped 700 yards in a game, and only the 15th time a player has topped 600 yards. It was the fifth time Halliday has topped 500 yards in a game.

The six touchdown passes tied his own school record, shared

At Mariner H.S.

with Jason Gesser, and gave him a national best 26 for the season.

Halliday’s 10,483 career passing yards are the second-most in Washington State history, behind Alex Brink’s 10,913 and ahead of the likes of Mark Rypien, Drew Bledsoe and Ryan Leaf.

Of course, ridiculous passing numbers are the norm in Leach’s “Air Raid” offense.

Halliday already set a record last season with 89 pass attempts against Oregon, and he’s within

striking distance of the Division I records for passing attempts, completions and yards in a season.

The owners of those records are B.J. Symons (attempts and yardage) and Graham Harrell (completions) — both coached

by Leach at Texas Tech.

Leach said Halliday has improved steadily in his years at Washington State.

“I think he’s more polished,” Leach said. “He has steadily worked hard.”

Making the tough choice

An All-Wesco volleyball player at Jackson, Natalie O’Hare decided not to play this season in order to pursue her new-found passion for rowing

By Aaron Lommers Herald Writer

A year ago, Natalie O’Hare, then a sophomore, was on her way to becoming a first-team All-Wesco setter for the Jackson volleyball team. She hadn’t been at the sport long. She started playing in middle school and her skills developed quickly.

She had a similar experience when she took up rowing a little less than a year ago. Both her skill and her love of the sport grew rapidly.

So much so that this past spring she played club volleyball and rowed in the same season, but conflicting schedules this fall forced her to make a choice.

Despite being an accomplished volleyball player, O’Hare chose to go with her new-found love and dedicated herself to crew.

“I thought about it for a while,” she said of her decision to row, “it was pretty hard.”

Padraic McGovern is the director of the Everett Rowing Association — the club O’Hare rows for — and has seen other athletes forced to make similar decisions. It’s not something he takes lightly.

“We try to give all the athletes down here the best experience possible, and some of the athletes really take to it and they come to that decision on their own,” McGovern said. “I certainly respect (their decision). I think everybody that is serious about this sport has made choices and I am very aware of the thought that goes into that — the deep amount of thought and the courage that it takes.

“It’s a courageous decision to do something that you’ve done for a really long time and something that you’ve been a really accomplished athlete at and to make a change like that, it’s admirable and courageous.”

O’Hare’s teammates and coaches at Jackson were sad to

Natalie O’Hare (4) goes up for a block in a match against Snohomish last October. O’Hare earned All-Wesco honors as a sophomore.

see her go, but supported her decision.

“I think everyone on the team wishes her well,” Jackson head coach Mindy Staudinger said.

“She found crew and she really enjoys it and the honest reaction was, ‘We’re glad you have something that you’re really passionate about and we wish you well and we’re happy that you found something that you really love to do.’”

O’Hare was in eighth grade when her older sister Emily first tried crew. O’Hare joined her sister on the water one day and slowly got hooked.

“I just like the feeling when you’re on the water,” O’Hare said.

“It’s like no other for me.

“I love rowing in the morning because usually the water is really nice and the sun is coming up. It’s just really calm.”

McGovern shares O’Hare’s sentiments and said he thinks O’Hare fell in love with sport’s finer qualities.

“The motion of the sport I think is intriguing,” McGovern said.

“When you get out on the boat and you’re doing it correctly, you feel like you’re both doing all the work, but doing none of the work.

You’re both anonymous, but also

an integral part of this living thing that’s flying across the water. It’s really an amazing feeling. It’s very intense and it’s personal.”

O’Hare and her sister both found success on the water.

“Natalie and her sister, they share a lot of traits,” McGovern said. “They are both extremely strong, extremely tough and they are both extremely driven.”

That drive has helped O’Hare become one of the top girls in McGovern’s program in less than a year. There are 24 girls in the varsity division and they are divided into three groups of eight based on skill level. O’Hare is in the top group.

McGovern said her rapid improvement isn’t something you see every day. “It’s above average and it’s on par with some of the best athletes that have come (through) the program,” he said.

O’Hare’s first competitive event of the year in an ERA shell was the Row for the Cure exhibition on Sept. 21. Her boat placed second out of 10 competitors. Most recently, O’Hare and her teammates competed Sunday at the Tail of the Lake in Seattle, placing fifth out of seven boats.

The same qualities that made O’Hare an exceptional setter for

With crew, you never really have a max.

Once you’ve reached your best, that doesn’t become your best the next day. That’s your mediocre the next day.

— Natalie O’Hare of the Everett Rowing Association

Staudinger are the same qualities that have helped her become one of McGovern’s top rowers.

“She’s driven, she’s very cerebral and she’s extremely focused,” McGovern said. “I think she takes to the technical nature of it, but then I think she takes to the physical nature of it. I think the different aspects of the sport just appeal to those powerful aspects of her personality.”

O’Hare said she’s loves being on the water because it gives her the opportunity to push herself every day.

“With other sports, you can get to a certain point and you’ve reached the max,” O’Hare said.

“With crew, you never really have a max. Once you’ve reached your best, that doesn’t become your best the next day. That’s your mediocre that next day. You can always just push yourself and get faster and get stronger.

“There’s no limit to it.”

MOUNT VERNON — A battle for third place in Wesco 4A came down to the final set as Cascade outlasted Mount Vernon by scores of 25-22, 14-25, 20-25, 25-23 and 15-12 on Monday.

Even though the game came down to the wire, Cascade head coach Maddie Benson said her girls were ready for the challenge.

“The girls were pretty calm.

That was our biggest thing tonight,” Benson said of the win that left Cascade in sole posession of third place in the Wesco 4A standings.

Benson credited her middle hitters, Olivia Chatters (7 blocks) and Paiten Hart, for keeping Cascade in the match.

“Tonight our middles stepped up in ways I’ve been expecting all season,” Benson said. “Both of our middles were getting touches on everything. They were constantly all over the place. Our middles tonight, they stepped up tremendously.”

The Bruins lost two consecutive matches last week and, including Monday night’s match, faced the top three teams in the league in less than a week.

They will be faced with the same stretch of opponents to close the regular season. Benson said she hopes Monday’s win will help her team be ready for that stretch.

“Tonight was a big confidence win.”

Jackson 3, Monroe 1 MONROE — Monroe dropped a pivitol Wesco 4A match against Jackson on Monday night, dropping the Bearcats down to 2-5 in the league and overall standings this season.

“Jackson came out on fire. They had strong positive energy the whole time and I think thats why they came out on top.” Monroe head coach April Munoz said.

Despite strong performances from Amalia Ruiz (10 digs, 23 assists) and Jessica Clark (10 digs, 10 kills, 2 aces), the Bearcats fell short.

“Our set that we won, (Clark) showed so much fire and positive attitude that it bled into everybody and it was a big reason why we won that particular set.” Munoz said.

M’s Walker resumes season in Fall League

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

SEATTLE — Taijuan Walker’s push for a spot in the Seattle Mariners’ 2015 rotation resumes Tuesday when he starts for the Surprise Saguaros in their Arizona Fall League opener against the Peoria Javelinas.

The Mariners want Walker, 22, to log 25-30 innings in the Fall League, which likely means at least five starts, after shoulder problems this season limited him to 1201⁄3 innings between the majors and minors.

Walker closed the season with two strong starts after replacing an injured Roenis Elias in the rotation.

“Obviously, he’s taken a big step forward,” manager Lloyd McClendon said. “There’s a lot of work to be done, and I’m sure he’ll continue to get better.”

Among other things, Walker will likely work to sharpen a changeup that proved increasingly effective late in the season.

“My last two starts,” he said, “I’ve used it a lot. I’ve got to the point where I can bounce it if I need to; get it over for a strike or keep it down.”

The Fall League bills itself as a finishing school for top prospects and runs through Nov. 15. It consists of six clubs in the Phoenix areas, which are each comprised of players from five organizations.

The Saguaros received players

from the Mariners, Boston, Cincinnati, San Diego and Texas. The Mariners’ seven players include third baseman D.J. Peterson, who is generally viewed as their top non-pitching prospect.

Peterson, 22, is expected to spend time at first base as a likely prelude to a possible full-time switch in 2015. The Mariners have him on a fast track to the majors but already have an AllStar at third base in Kyle Seager.

“I played a lot of first base in college,” he said, “It wouldn’t be too much of an adjustment.

I want to play third, like I’ve said from the time I got drafted. But ... there wouldn’t be any adjustment. I’d go right over.”

Peterson batted .297 in 123

games at Hi-A High Desert and Double-A Jackson while leading the organization with 31 homers and 111 RBI. Also playing for the Saguaros: ■ Right-handed pitcher Matt Anderson (age 22): Had more success after shifting to longrelief duty late in season after returning to High Desert from Jackson. Was 6-8 overall with 4.91 ERA in 27 games (20 starts).

■ Right-handed pitcher Matt Brazis (24): Selected as the organization’s reliever of the year after going 4-1 with six saves in 40 games at High Desert and Jackson. Had 84 strikeouts in 721⁄3 innings and a 0.995 WHIP (walks and hits to innings pitched).

■Catcher John Hicks (25): Long

regarded as a strong catch-andthrow receiver who has gunned down 47 percent of all runners in four pro seasons. Bat perked up this season (.290/.351/.403) in 81 games at Jackson and Tacoma.

Could get a look in spring for backup job.

■ Infielder Patrick Kivlehan (24): A versatile right-handed hitter, he received the organization’s Unsung Hero Award after batting. 295 with 20 homers and 103 RBI in 138 games at High Desert and Jackson.

■ Right-handed pitcher Stephen Landazuri (22): Has chance to reverse a disappointing year.

Struggled to a 5.08 ERA in 15 starts at Jackson after returning in midJune after seven-week absence because of a strained oblique.

Dodgers to go with Kershaw on short rest in Game 4

By R.B. Fallstrom Associated Press

ST. LOUIS — Don Mattingly decided not to postpone the intrigue over Clayton Kershaw.

The Los Angeles Dodgers manager said Monday he’ll go with Kershaw on three days rest in Game 4 of their NL Division Series against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Mattingly made the announcement before Game 3 in a best-of-five series tied at a game apiece. He added he “pretty much knew” he’d go that way with his ace before the series started.

Kershaw is set to pitch Tuesday night. Mattingly said Zack Greinke would start a potential Game 5 on regular rest Thursday in Los Angeles.

Kershaw is the heavy favorite to win a third NL Cy Young and won on short rest in the NL Division Series last year, beating the Braves in the series clincher.

That’s the only time he’s pitched on three days’ rest in his career.

But he’s been pummeled his last two times in the postseason by the Cardinals, and surrendered eight runs in 62⁄3 innings while blowing a five-run lead in Game 1.

Mattingly said Kershaw had bounced back mentally as well as physically, and noted the lefty came back strong last fall the start after he pitched on three days’ rest, a 1-0 loss to St. Louis in the NL Championship Series.

“It’s Clayton Kershaw. I hate to say it like that,” Mattingly said.

“These kind of guys don’t curl up and go away. So, this is a different cat.”

Mattingly had previously penciled in Dan Haren for Game 4. Hyun-Jin Ryu was set to start Game 3 against John Lackey of the Cardinals and Haren was available in long relief if needed.

Ryu made his first start since Sept. 12, when he injured his shoulder.

Nationals stave off elimination

By Janie McCauley Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO — Bryce Harper screamed out in delight as he crossed the plate with Washington ahead at last.

After all those extra innings and a subdued cross-country flight, the Nationals had broken through — with a little help from Madison Bumgarner.

Doug Fister pitched seven shutout innings and the Nationals capitalized on Bumgarner’s one off-target throw, staving off elimination in the NL Division Series with a 4-1 win over the San Francisco Giants on Monday.

Fister dazzled again in San Francisco, helping the Nationals cut their deficit to 2-1 in the best-of-five series. They ended the Giants 10-game postseason winning streak that started with Game 5 of the 2012 NL Championship Series against St. Louis.

Washington scored two runs on Bumgarner’s throwing error in the seventh inning to end the ace’s 21-inning scoreless streak.

Harper punctuated the victory with a solo homer in the ninth.

“Really it came down to every pitch,” Fister said. “Fortunately a ball bounced our way.”

Drew Storen allowed to the first two batters to reach in the bottom of the ninth but shook off his postseason struggles,

allowing a run in closing it out as Washington forced a Game 4 on Tuesday night.

Now, the 96-win Nationals will send left-hander Gio Gonzalez up against San Francisco right-hander Ryan Vogelsong.

“We just needed one break,” Storen said. “It’s been a tough couple innings here to start and we got our break. It’s just a matter of building on it, and we live to see another day.”

On a day Bumgarner had been nearly untouchable, his own miscue prevented a threegame sweep.

Bumgarner fielded Wilson Ramos’ two-strike sacrifice bunt between the mound and the first-base line and fired to third rather than going for the sure out at first.

“We probably should have taken the out of first. I made a mistake telling him to throw to third,” catcher Buster Posey said. “It happens. We’ll come tomorrow, go through the pregame routine and be ready to go.”

Bumgarner’s throw sailed wide of Pablo Sandoval’s outstretched glove and bounced all the way to the tarp along the left-field wall before rolling over the bullpen mounds where two relievers were warming up.

Sandoval nearly did the splits trying to make the play and stayed down in pain as the two runs scored. Trainers checked

on the third baseman and he remained in the game.

“We don’t have Ramos bunt with two strikes,” Harper said.

“So if we don’t have him get that bunt down, at least get us on second and third, having that errant throw by Bumgarner was huge for us.”

Asdrubal Cabrera followed with an RBI single.

Fister outpitched Bumgarner at AT&T Park for the second time in four months after a June gem. The right-hander, who grew up about two hours away in the Central Valley city of Merced, gave up four hits, struck out three and walked three.

Storen, the beleaguered closer who gave up the tying run in Game 2, allowed Brandon Crawford’s sacrifice fly in the ninth before finishing the 2-hour, 47-minute game. It was a far cry from Game 2, which took a postseason record 6:23.

Five days after pitching a four-hitter in an 8-0 wild-card win at Pittsburgh, Bumgarner was on a roll again, this time for the orange towel-waving sellout home crowd of 43,627.

Ian Desmond singled to start the decisive seventh and Harper walked to bring up Ramos, who began the season as the Nationals’ cleanup hitter. Harper slid into home for the second run, hopped up and hollered in triumph.

Cardinals beat Dodgers 3-1, take 2-1 lead

By R.B. Fallstrom Associated Press

ST. LOUIS — Kolten Wong hit a two-run homer to snap a seventh-inning tie, Matt Carpenter went deep for the third straight game and John Lackey lived up to his big-game reputation as the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-1 Monday night to take a 2-1 lead in their best-of-five NL Division Series.

Facing elimination in St. Louis for the second consecutive postseason, the Dodgers will turn to ace Clayton Kershaw on short rest Tuesday night in Game 4. Shelby Miller makes his first career postseason start for the Cardinals, one win from a fourth straight trip to the NL Championship Series.

The Cardinals finished off

Los Angeles in a six-game NLCS last fall, knocking out Kershaw in the fifth inning of a 9-0 blowout in the final game.

Two runners reached against Trevor Rosenthal in the ninth before he earned his second save of the series — with an assist from the grounds crew on a rainy night.

With two runners on, Rosenthal missed badly on consecutive pitches to Juan Uribe. Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina and manager Mike Matheny went to the mound, and Matheny motioned toward plate umpire Dale Scott.

The grounds crew was called out to apply a drying agent and rake the mound. Rosenthal threw a pair of practice pitches and found his footing, retiring the next two batters on flies to right for his sixth career postseason save.

Hanley Ramirez had three of the Dodgers’ seven hits, including an RBI double in the sixth.

St. Louis hit 105 homers in the regular season, the second-lowest total in the majors, ahead of only Kansas City.

But the Cardinals have shown plenty of power in the playoffs.

Carpenter connected in the third and then Wong, the rookie second baseman who was picked off to end a World Series loss against Boston last year, hit a two-run shot off loser Scott Elbert to put the Cardinals ahead 3-1.

“The season is so long. I never anticipated how long a full major league season is,” Wong said. “Just ups and downs of not producing and getting hurt really struck me hard this year, but all in all it was a great year. I learned a lot and I’m just excited to be here right now.”

NEW YORK — The NFL has begun testing for human growth hormone for the first time, three years after the league and players’ union tentatively agreed to do so.

HGH testing was part of the 2011 labor agreement but was delayed because the NFL Players Association was not comfortable with the procedures or science involved. Both sides agreed last month on the new policy, which took effect Monday.

A total of 950 tests will be performed during the regular season, postseason and preseason. In the offseason, about 385 tests will be done. Less than one tablespoon of blood will be taken from each player.

Each week during the season, five players on eight teams will be chosen randomly for testing as part of the normal testing procedures under the NFL’s performance enhancing drug policy.

No tests will occur on game days.

Players subject to the blood testing must be on the active roster, practice squad or on injured reserve, and not already subject to reasonable-cause testing.

In the offseason, every player under contract not already undergoing reasonable-cause testing will be tested to a maximum of 90 per team.

One stumbling block in the agreement was the appeals process. Any appeal now will be heard by a neutral person, not by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell or someone he designated.

Jaguars apologize for sign JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Jacksonville Jaguars have apologized for their mascot using the Ebola epidemic to mock the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Jaxson de Ville held one of Pittsburgh’s famed yellow “Terrible Towels” next to a homemade sign that read “TOWELS CARRY EBOLA” during Sunday’s game.

Team president Mark Lamping said the Jaguars had no prior knowledge of the sign and will handle the matter internally.

Dolphins suspend Shelby DAVIE, Fla. — Miami Dolphins reserve defensive lineman Derrick Shelby was suspended indefinitely after police used a Taser on him three times while arresting him on misdemeanor charges of resisting arrest and trespassing at a nightclub.

Shelby was suspended for conduct detrimental to the team.

Lions cut kicker Henery DETROIT — The Detroit Lions are making another change at kicker.

The Lions cut Alex Henery, after Henery missed three field goals in Sunday’s 17-14 loss to the Buffalo Bills, coach Jim Caldwell said.

Henery missed a 44-yarder off of the right upright in the first half and badly missed kicks of 47 and 50 yards in the second half.

After his 50-yarder, the potential game winner, landed short and wide left, the Bills completed a 20-yard pass to Sammy Watkins to set up Dan Carpenter’s game-winning 58-yard field goal with four seconds to play.

Jets’ Smith missed meeting NEW YORK — Geno Smith had one miserable week for the New York Jets.

The struggling quarterback, who was fined by the NFL for cursing at a fan last weekend, missed a team meeting the night before Sunday’s 31-0 loss to the San Diego Chargers in which he was benched.

The team said Monday that Smith’s absence was an “honest mistake” after the second-year quarterback confused the times for the meeting in San Diego on Saturday night. Smith arrived five to 10 minutes after the meeting ended and reviewed what was discussed with offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg and quarterbacks coach David Lee.

Seahawks Report Card

C

Defense

B-

Another mixed-bag performance. The Seahawks held Washington to just 32 rushing yards, and were dominant for much of the first half. But, and this is a big but, a secondary that is usually so good at minimizing big plays allowed several of them, most notably a 60-yard touchdown pass to DeSean Jackson as well as a 57-yarder to Jackson that set up a field goal. That final Washington touchdown drive, which featured a couple of long catch-and-runs by running back Roy Helu, also came awfully easy for a defense that usually doesn’t let those kind of quick drives happen. The Seahawks also failed to force a turnover against a quarterback who threw four interceptions last week, and dropped a least a pair of early interceptions that could have turned the game into a blowout.

Special teams

A

Once again, Jon Ryan was arguably the team’s most valuable player, which isn’t necessarily a good thing (OK, Russell Wilson was actually the MVP). It’s not that Ryan playing well is a bad thing, but there’s a reason a lot of players on the field are paid a lot more than the punter.

Regardless, Ryan had five of his six punts downed inside the 20 and also rushed for a first down on a fake field goal, setting up a late touchdown. Washington refused to kick off to Percy Harvin, so he wasn’t a factor in the return game, though the threat of him helped Seattle’s field position, and Bryan Walters had a couple of nice punt returns.

Coaching

B-

Some of the play-calling might have seemed unusual, but Marshawn Lynch was dealing with a stiff back, and Zach Miller was out, so it’s hard to know for sure if the Seahawks were able to call everything they wanted offensively. It looked like Washington beat Seattle deep with route concepts similar to those used

by Denver on its final scoring drive two weeks ago, which obviously isn’t ideal two games in a row. Double-digit penalties (13 for 90 yards) never reflects well on coaching, but on the plus side, that fake punt that set up a much-needed insurance score was a gutsy and successful call.

Seattle wide receiver Jermaine Kearse (15) pulls in a touchdown pass from Russell Wilson as Washington Redskins strong safety Brandon Meriweather (31) tries to grab the ball during the first half of Monday night’s game in Landover, Md.

Offense This was a very strange game to judge. On one hand, 27 points on the road, regardless of the opponent, is a very respectable number, and Russell Wilson was efficient with his arm and ridiculous as a runner, rushing for a career-high 122 yards. But mistakes by the offense, most notably penalties that negated three Percy Harvin scores, as well as a few uncharacteristic drops, were the only reason this game wasn’t a blowout by halftime. Given the pressure on Russell Wilson and the lack of power running plays, it’s safe to say the Seahawks missed tight end Zach Miller (ankle injury).

Boling From Page C1

found an open Marshawn Lynch, who ran 30 yards for the first down. A sack there would have given the Redskins renewed life.

Wilson would not allow it.

Harvin was brilliant, too, having scored three touchdowns, which were all called back by referee Jeff Triplette’s crew, making his scores the dubious Triplette triplet.

But they’re good enough, now, that they don’t have to be anywhere near their best to beat many teams in the league.

And maybe that’s a backhanded measurement of elite status, too.

On Monday Night Football, a domain they’ve dominated in recent seasons, they were chronically penalized, totally without rhythm, with erratic pass protection, and they lost track of DeSean Jackson on a deep ball, but claimed the win nonetheless.

Even the center-quarterback exchange was oddly adventurous.

The Seahawks can’t be happy with the performance, although they’re not as upset as those

Seahawks

Fantasy Football players who started Harvin.

One of those fantasy players was Seahawks safety Earl Thomas, who said he started Wilson while his brother had the misfortune of starting Harvin.

“It could have been a very big night for us,” head coach Pete Carroll said. “We were just a little bit out of whack.”

Nah, they were a lot out of whack. Most of the night, in fact.

There were some strange calls in this one. Center Max Unger was twice called for false starts, at least once it was described as an illegal head bob, when he was looking back at Wilson in the shotgun formation.

One of Harvin’s TDs came back because guard James Carpenter was flagged for hitting a player when he was down.

Until deep in the first half, the Seahawks led 17-0, despite looking completely out of sorts.

Washington looked so inept the Hawks seemed able to name the score and then make it happen.

But then Jackson got past safety Kam Chancellor in a funky coverage that clearly didn’t work.

Richard Sherman said it was an exotic design that simply failed against that play call.

Maybe the Hawks had a little trouble getting back to work

Game Stats

after a bye week.

Hadn’t penalties been a syndrome of which they’d cured themselves? They had 13 on Monday night, just six fewer than they had in the previous three games this season.

And Wilson was under pressure much of the night as the line mostly spent the night holding or false starting.

But that only allowed Wilson to seem even more brilliant, time after time eluding pressure, or merely taking off with the ball himself.

His 122 rushing yards were the most a quarterback ever gained in a Monday Night Football game. It broke his own franchise record for a QB. Face it, there’s a knack to winning when you’re playing poorly.

“Football is always about what is next,” Thomas said. “And the challenge is (to fix) what we messed up tonight.”

There is a lot for them to fix after this one. They were out of synch and out of whack. But not out of the winners’ circle.

They return to Seattle to regroup for next Sunday’s Dallas game.

And a lot of them might take a few moments to pat their quarterback on the back.

Because once again he saved the game.

What we learned ...

I

f there is such a thing as an ugly double-digit victory on the road in the NFL, then surely the Seahawks’ 27-17 win in Washington was it. Sure the Seahawks improved to 3-1, and yes they won by 10 points, but if not for a bunch of offensive penalties — three of which took touchdowns off the scoreboard — as well as a couple big plays given up by a usually stingy secondary, this one could have been a laugher.

“Well, this was an interesting game tonight,” was how Pete Carroll opened his press conference.

In the end, however, the Seahawks improved to 3-1, putting them in a first-place tie with Arizona in the NFC West. As Russell Wilson put it on ESPN’s postgame show, “We could have played a lot better, but at the end of the day, a win’s a win. We’re pumped up in that locker room.”

Here are three takeaways from the game:

1

Russell Wilson was a magician (again).

Somewhere, someone will inevitably point to Wilson’s 201 passing yards and use it as evidence to call him a game manager, and somewhere, that someone will be wrong. Wilson’s passing numbers —18-for-24, 201 yards, two touchdowns, zero interceptions and a 127.3 passer rating — are awfully impressive, but they don’t begin to tell the story of this game. With Washington’s defense inexplicably either not respecting his running ability, or just completely helpless to stop it, Wilson rushed for a career-high 122 yards and a touchdown, and helped ice the game with an insane escape act followed by a flip to Marshawn Lynch that went for a 30-yard gain.

“Russell just had a phenomenal game tonight,” Seahawks coach Pete Carroll told reporters after the game.

“He was everywhere and did everything we could have asked, running and throwing and scrambling and making things happen.”

2

Penalties were a big issue.

Sure Jeff Triplette’s crew made a few shaky calls, but you can’t blame all 13 of those penalties for 90 yards on the officials ... OK, you can, but you’d be wrong.

As aggressive as coach Pete Carroll wants his teams to be, he can live with some penalties, but when false starts are consistently killing drives before they start, or when holds that don’t really affect the play are wiping out touchdowns, or when neutral-zone infractions keep giving a struggling offense first-and-five, those are plays that can come back to haunt a team in a more competitive game.

“Those are things (are) in our control,” Carroll said. “We can fix that.”

3

Percy Harvin had the most impressive 34-yard game you’ll ever see.

The final stats for Percy Harvin show four catches for 27 yards, one run for 7 yards and no kickoff returns, pretty quiet numbers for an offense’s most explosive player. What those numbers don’t show were three very impressive touchdowns, all of which were wiped out by penalties. By the time Harvin had a third score nullified, a 41-yard catch, he could only throw his hands in the air and laugh.

“First one, I was cool with, I was like, OK,” Harvin told reporters in the locker room. “Then the second one happened, and I was like, wow. Then the third one happened, I just flipped my hands down. I couldn’t believe it. But at the same time, penalties are part of football. … I try not to think about it too much; we got the W.” In addition to having his usual effect on the defense without touching the ball, Harvin also helped Seattle’s field position because Washington refused to kick the ball deep.

Phelps suspended

by USA swimming

By Beth Harrisap Associated Press

Michael Phelps’ comeback took a major hit on Monday, with USA Swimming suspending the 18-time Olympic champion for six months and forcing him to withdraw from next year’s world championships.

Phelps also lost six months of funding from the sport’s national governing body as a result of his second DUI arrest.

The 29-year-old swimmer is banned from participating in USA Swimming-sanctioned meets through April 6, 2015.

USA Swimming said Phelps violated its Code of Conduct, and cited a section of its 2014 Rule Book in punishing him. Its executive committee approved the sanctions, which take effect immediately.

“Michael’s conduct was serious and required significant consequences,” said Chuck

Wielgus, USA Swimming executive director.

“We endorse and are here to fully support his personal development actions.”

Phelps can still train with his North Baltimore club, but he had already qualified for the world championships in Russia next August, which is the biggest international meet leading up to the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics.

Phelps came out of retirement earlier this year with his sights set on competing at a fifth Olympics in Rio. Being barred from the world meet could put a serious dent in those ambitions.

His latest arrest came about a month after Phelps won three golds and two silvers at the Pan Pacific Championships in Australia. He had retired after the 2012 London Olympics, having won a record 18 gold medals and 22 medals in four games.
