Justice, 19 years later Jury finds sex offender guilty in ‘cold case’ killing of Patti Berry

Bid for office under review Everett’s superintendent is investigating whether high school coaches asked runners to help a teacher campaigning for state representative.

By Scott North and Diana Hefley Herald Writers

EVERETT — Justice found Patti Berry on Monday, more than 19 years after she was taken from her family.

Danny Ross Giles, 46, was convicted of first-degree murder in the “cold case” killing. The longtime sex offender was linked to Berry’s death by DNA tests and the skein of lies he spun after being confronted by detectives in 2011.

Berry’s family filled the second row of the courtroom Monday.

They gasped and hugged when the verdict was announced.

“Thank you, Jesus,” one said.

Nancy Stensrud, Berry’s mother, wept with relief.

The mystery surrounding Berry’s killing was solved by a special team of detectives that Stensrud had lobbied the Snohomish County Sheriff ’s Office to create so investigations would continue in unsolved murders gone cold for lack of clues.

The jury listened to nearly three weeks of testimony and began deliberating late Thursday.

They met behind closed doors all day Friday without announcing a

verdict. They told the court they’d reached a decision just before 11 a.m. on Monday.

The jury came into the courtroom at noon. Superior Court Judge Bruce Weiss glanced at the verdict forms and then asked Giles and his attorneys to rise.

Giles didn’t look at the jury.

His attorney, Linda Coburn, held her head in her hands. Longtime public defender Neal Friedman studied jurors as they individually affirmed that they believe Giles is guilty of murdering Berry.

EVERETT — The superintendent of the Everett School District is investigating whether cross country runners at two high schools were improperly enlisted by coaches to aid the campaign of a teacher running for state representative.

Superintendent Gary Cohn launched the probe after hearing that runners for Jackson and Cascade high schools were asked at a practice last week to canvass neighborhoods on behalf of Democratic candidate Mike Wilson.

Meanwhile Monday, Republicans alleged that Wilson has used his computer at Cascade High School to conduct his campaign.

The campaign of Republican candidate Mark Harmsworth released emails reportedly from Wilson’s school computer in which he corresponds with students, staff and a political consultant about the campaign. The emails were obtained from the school district through a public records request, according to Harmsworth.

The district probe and GOP claims emerge as Wilson and Harmsworth are engaged in a tight battle for an open seat in the 44th Legislative District in Snohomish County.

Wilson, a longtime teacher of government and U.S. history at Cascade, said he had no role in organizing the runners for campaign activity off school grounds See REVIEW, Page A2

$125K in second morgue discrimination suit Herald Writer

EVERETT — A Snohomish County death investigator has reached a $125,000 settlement over allegations of workplace discrimination at the county morgue,

following a similar case last year.

The County Council unanimously approved the agreement with Deborah Hollis on Monday.

Under terms of the settlement, Hollis gets to keep her job and will also receive forensics training in Texas at the county’s expense.

Oscar de la Renta fashioned a global empire The Washington Post Oscar de la Renta, the Dominican-born fashion designer who reshaped the public image of first ladies, society muses and red-carpet regulars with grand evening wear that celebrated Latin sensuality, European refinement and American versatility, died Monday at his home in Kent, Connecticut. He was 82.

A family representative answering the phone at his home confirmed the death but did not provide further details. De la Renta revealed in 2011 that he had a bout with cancer

earlier that year.

An astute businessman with an eye for vibrant color, de la Renta spent a half-century polishing his eponymous label into a global empire that sold perfume, accessories, furniture and, above all, elegant clothing.

During a half-century of prominence on New York’s fashion nexus — Seventh Avenue — he asserted himself as a creative entrepreneur and vivacious society player who gained access to the nation’s most esteemed women and an invitation to define how the public saw them.

He was the first Latino

to be accepted into the exclusive ranks of Parisian fashion houses. Later as a U.S. citizen, he became the first American to design for a French couture house.

All the while, de la Renta was building a brand that, in exclusive circles and in small-town bridal salons alike, was known by one word: Oscar.

His exuberant frocks won the trust of customers and he set formal standards for women of taste. He gave them — no matter their age or shape — the confidence to be eye-catching. “I love all his clothes because of his sense of color,” Nancy

Kissinger, wife of former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, said in a 2002 pictorial biography of the designer. “There’s something very staggering about the combinations he chooses.”

De la Renta, whose dresses cost many thousands of dollars, was the master of entrance-making looks. Manhattan doyennes, Hollywood stars and Washington figures sought out his label. He designed then-first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton’s coral swearing-in ensemble in 1997, first lady Laura Bush’s twinkling beaded inaugural gown in 2005,

and senatorial spouse Cindy McCain’s golden full-skirted dress for the 2008 Republican National Convention.

Formal gowns have long favored pale goddess-style silhouettes and daywear often dwelled on the drab.

But Valerie Steele, an historian at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, saw de la Renta’s couture influence in his bright combinations and full skirts and sleeves. “He’s a really good colorist,”and his clothes project “a European sense of decorum, a magnificence,” she said. “He has not stuck to one look; he’s

and after school hours.

As to the emails, he denied misusing school resources, though he acknowledged he might have inadvertently replied to one or two emails during the school day.

“I’ve been very careful to keep my school life and public life separate,” he said.

Harmsworth didn’t accuse his opponent of any wrongdoing involving students.

“I found it concerning,” he said. “I don’t know the whole story yet.”

As for the emails, he said that as a Mill Creek City Council member, he knows the importance of “not mixing political activities with taxpayer-funded resources.”

Kevin Carns, who steers the political operation of the House Republican

Caucus, didn’t refrain from blasting Wilson’s actions.

“He started this election illegally and he’s finishing it illegally,” said Carns, who is political director of the House Republican Organizational Committee.

The school district investigation stems from an incident last Wednesday, when runners for boys and girls teams at Jackson and Cascade high schools gathered at McCollum Park, where they were given maps of neighborhoods and homes where they should drop off literature.

The father of Jackson High athletes emailed Cohn the next day. He said his children did not want to participate but were handed material to give out. The experience left them “visibly upset,” according to the email.

Cohn said that if what the father described is true, it should never have happened.

The superintendent notified Wilson of the investigation, which will determine if any policies or election laws were violated. He said he hoped for a rapid conclusion.

“We should not be using district resources to influence campaigns, period,” Cohn said. “We should not be involving students in campaign activities as part of their athletic activities. Period.

What students do on their time, away from school activities, isn’t for us to comment on.”

On Friday, principals of Cascade and Jackson high schools sent identical letters to parents of runners, assuring them that action had been taken “to ensure that it does not happen again.”

Runners from Glacier Peak High School in the Snohomish School District also were involved that day.

“This request should not have occurred, and we have discussed with the coach to make sure it does not happen again,” district spokeswoman Kristin Foley wrote in an email.

Wilson said a coach — he wouldn’t name him or her or the school — offered to organize students to volunteer. Wilson also went to the park that day.

“I did not encourage them to do anything,” he said. “I was not in charge of recruiting volunteers. I was approached with an opportunity to use student volunteers. I kept everything clean. I made sure our campaign did this activity off school grounds, not on school property

and not during school hours.”

Regarding the emails, there is a batch dated Feb. 27 in which Wilson receives a copy of a proposed contract with consulting firm WinPower Strategies. There’s another in which Wilson, using his private Gmail account, returns the contract, apparently via the school computer.

In other emails, Wilson asks a person to be on his advisory group and a student to come take his picture for campaign material.

“There might be an error,” Wilson said after being told of the emails.

“My intentions are pure.

You’ll find no ulterior motives. I work hard to make sure I’ve done things right.”

Oscar Aristides Renta Fiallo was born in Santo Domingo, the capital of the Dominican Republic, on July 22, 1932. His father, who had come from Puerto Rico, owned an insurance business and expected his only son to follow him into the family trade. But his mother and six sisters lavished the boy with attention; and the family priest, a Spaniard, encouraged his aesthetic interests and bought him a set of paints. Against his father’s inclination, de la Renta enrolled in art school.

Police: Shooting suspect wanted to die During the spree, police shot Hanson in the head but the bullet failed to penetrate his skull.

I wish I were dead. Your guys aren’t very good shots.

By Diana Hefley and Eric Stevick GRANITE FALLS — A man suspected of a shooting rampage that spanned three east Snohomish County cities reportedly told police he wanted to die because of his failing health and an impending foreclosure on his home.

“I wish I were dead. Your guys aren’t very good shots,” Hans Hansen allegedly told detectives at the hospital.

A police affidavit filed Monday in Everett District Court gives insight into the motive behind the Oct. 15 shooting spree.

Detectives say Hansen confessed to opening fire on the Granite Falls and Lake Stevens Police Departments and later exchanging gunfire with Marysville police officers in hopes that police would kill him, according to the affidavit.

Marysville police Sgt. Jim Maple was struck in the leg by shrapnel during the melee. He has since been released from the hospital.

Hansen was shot in the head, with the bullet not penetrating his skull. The scalp wound bled heavily. Hansen was convinced he was dying so he surrendered to police, detectives wrote.

Hansen, 43, made a brief court appearance Monday. He had a swollen black eye and red marks on his face and head. For now, he is being held without bail.

— Accused shooter Hans Hansen, according to police

MARK MULLIGAN / THE HERALD

Hans Hansen appears in Everett District Court via video monitor from the Snohomish County Jail on Monday afternoon, where he is being held without bail.

Another hearing is expected next week.

Deputy prosecutor Ed Stemler argued that Hansen could be held without bail under a provision of state law that allows a judge to find “by clear and convincing evidence, that a person shows a propensity for violence that creates a substantial likelihood of danger to the community” and that no pre-trial conditions can assure public safety.

Among other factors Stemler cited in court Monday were Hansen’s claims that he had access to large amounts of ammunition.

The suspect told police he had up to 20,000 rounds of ammunition stored at home.

Prosecutors have three days to file charges. Hansen was arrested for investigation of two counts of first-degree assault with a weapon and three counts of drive-by-shooting. Stemler said he will need to review police

reports before deciding what charges will be filed.

Hansen had few words to say in court Monday. He did indicate that he is trying to hire a private attorney to represent him.

Hansen allegedly explained to detectives that his cabinet business had failed and he’d been evicted from the industrial park in the 17100 block of Mountain Loop Highway in Granite Falls.

He said he has a vascular disease and one of his legs must

Rutledge challenges tenured Kagi The two candidates agree on problems, but disagree on solutions.

By Sharon Salyer Herald Writer

Republican Al Rutledge has taken on a tenured legislator in his challenge for a seat in the Legislature.

He’s trying to unseat Democratic state Rep. Ruth Kagi, who was first elected to the District 32 seat in 1999. The district includes parts of King and Snohomish counties, including Lynnwood, Mountlake Terrace, Shoreline and part of Edmonds.

Rutledge said one of the reasons he decided to run is his belief that no one should run unopposed. “My name comes up because no one puts their hat in the ring,” he said. Yet even he admits, “I’m a long shot to get in.”

Rutledge said the solution to the crisis over providing more funding for public education, spurred by a state Supreme Court decision, is “we’d have to make cuts all the way across the board.”

He said Kagi and other legislators have said that’s already been done and they don’t know where further cuts can be made. But Rutledge said the situation is similar to someone who

gets laid off from a job. “You have to sit down at the table and do a complete budget,” he said.

Kagi said that the solution to public education funding is raising revenue.

“We cannot do it by cutting more human services or higher education,” she said. Lawmakers cut well over $10 billion during the recession, she said. “Many social services are failing.”

Exactly where the money should come from is still under discussion, she said.

She said she would support a state capital gains tax on stock and bond earnings and has previously

“I just want to make sure that the voters understand that this is a renewal of the EMS levy at the same rate and not a new tax and not an increase in tax,” Granite Falls Fire Chief Jim Haverfield said.

His district is seeking the permanent levy in part to save on election costs for running a new levy every six years. That can cost up to $45,000 per election, he said.

He said Wednesday night’s events also were triggered by an argument with his wife. She had sent him an upsetting text message earlier in the day. Hansen told detectives he started drinking.

Hansen thought about firing on police when they came to evict him. “However, he decided to gather several guns that he owned and go to several locations where police might be so he could fire at cars and buildings and engage the police in a gunfight and be killed,” Snohomish County sheriff’s detective Tedd Betts wrote.

Hansen allegedly loaded up his pickup truck with two AK-47 rifles, one AR-15 rifle, two .22-caliber rifles, one .300-caliber short magnum rifle, a shotgun and a .40-caliber handgun, according to court papers. He admitted to firing multiple rounds into a building at the industrial park in Granite Falls.

OSO — The calls started coming in the days after the mudslide.

Lions Clubs from across the country, and some from outside the U.S., wanted to help.

The Lions formed a team to handle the club’s emergency assistance effort after the Oso mudslide, which wiped out a neighborhood and killed 43 people in March.

Through auctions, T-shirt sales and spaghetti feeds, local branches of the international organization began collecting donations. Meanwhile, volunteers in Snohomish County wrote grant applications, seeking money from the Lions Club International Foundation.

The team raised nearly $119,000 for Oso relief. About $31,500 came from grants, and the remaining $87,000 came from donations.

“It’s just part of who we are and what we do,” said Steve Brooks, co-chair of the emergency-relief team. “The greatest reward is being able to go up and help locally.”

So far, the bulk of the money has been used to replace gear that was damaged during search and rescue. The Lions paid for new dry suits and flotation vests for water rescues and purchased safety cones, carabiners, rope and new

supported legislation to close tax exemptions.

“We’ve given away a lot of our tax base in the last 20 years,” she said.

Rutledge said that if elected, he would submit a bill to redefine basic education as the skills needed to meet the state’s high school graduation requirements.

spelled out in the state constitution, he said.

Kagi noted that the state Supreme Court ruling calling for more funding for public education cites data saying that less than half of children arrive at kindergarten with the basic skills needed to make them ready to learn.

These are basic skills children should get in child care or preschool, she said.

“Closing the opportunity gap starts in kindergarten,” she said.

Learning gaps that start in early childhood continue

to grow as students progress through school, she said.

Kagi said she would fight hard to see that early learning is a critical component of the push to improve student outcomes.

Kagi said she been a supporter of packages that would pay for major transportation improvements across the state. Snohomish County has been greatly affected by cuts in transit due to dependence on sales tax for funding, she said.

Rather than a statewide

gas tax increase, she said, local governments might have to put the issue to voters to raise money for transit improvements.

Rutledge agreed that Snohomish County transit funding is a problem.

Any move to increase the gas tax for transportation improvements should be approved by voters, he said. “You’ve got people in need who can’t afford it.” As a volunteer at a local food bank, Rutledge said, he regularly sees people who need fuel vouchers just to get to the food bank.

On Initiative 594, which would require backgrounds checks for purchasing firearms sold at gun shows or online, Rutledge said, he fears the information could be used by people to determine if you have a gun in your house.

Kagi said she supports the initiative. “I think it’s really, really important for public safety that everyone who buys a gun must have a background check,” she said.

Sharon Salyer: 425-3393486; salyer@heraldnet. com.

They paid for glasses for 19 local students who couldn’t afford them and struggled to access other resources while the mudslide blocked Highway 530.

The Lions also bought back-to-school supplies like backpacks, calculators and flash drives for Darringtonarea kids.

“We want to make sure we’re not just giving money to give money,” Brooks said.

“We want to meet the true needs of the community.”

Though Brooks wasn’t surprised to see the Lions rally, it was heartening

to watch volunteers and donors come together from near and far.

The Bellingham Lions Club had planned to auction off a carved wood bear to raise money for their projects but decided instead to donate the money to Oso relief. The bear brought in nearly $6,000, and it seemed like an appropriate fundraiser, Brooks said. The Spanish word for bear is “oso.”

Then there was the Sasquatch Lions Club in Canada, which sent a $1,000 check shortly after

the slide. A few weeks later, another $2,000 check came.

Brooks called to make sure there wasn’t a mistake and learned that the Sasquatch Lions Club tried to donate $2,000 to their local fire district, but the firefighters insisted the money go to Oso and Darrington.

“One thing with disasters is Lions Clubs all over the world want to donate and help out,” Brooks said.

The Lions team has money left to spend on relief efforts in the Stillaguamish Valley, but it won’t be doled out until needs are

identified, Brooks said.

For example, they are interested in contributing to a park or a memorial in the slide zone once planning moves forward, he said.

“One thing Lions tend to do is be there after the cause,” Brooks said. “As people settle into the new normal, there will certainly be needs.”

He stopped at Marysville Walmart on Highway 9 to reload.

He said he was headed to the Marysville Police Department when he spotted a patrol car. Hansen said he turned into a residential area and police followed him.

Hansen decided to fire on police, using his AK-47 and AR-15. One of the rifles was loaded with steel-core ammunition, which he told detectives he knew could penetrate vehicles, brick walls and telephone poles, Betts wrote.

Police say Hansen shot at a total of six police vehicles.

Hansen reportedly told detectives that he had planned to shoot up the Marysville Police Department and then move on to the Navy Support Complex in Marysville. He figured that military personnel would kill him if police were not successful.

Attorneys general target Internet trafficking Associated Press SEATTLE — Two years after a federal judge struck down a Washington law that targeted websites like Backpage.com, new state and federal efforts are again calling for more oversight of sites that offer “adult services,” in the hopes of curbing sex trafficking.

Backpage.com calls those efforts censorship and has argued that, under the Communications Decency Act, they aren’t responsible for the actions of subscribers or users.

Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson sent a letter Monday to the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee urging passage of a bill targeting sex trafficking on the

Internet. Ferguson and cosponsor Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller asked the committee to approve the Stop Advertising Victims Exploitation Act, or SAVE Act. The measure would create new rules for websites that offer adult services. The letter was signed by 53 state and territorial attorneys general. Senate Bill 2536 was introduced

by Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Illinois., and co-sponsored

by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-California.

“The use of the ‘adult services sections’ on websites like Backpage.com has created virtual brothels where children are bought and sold using euphemistic labels such as ‘escorts,”’ the letter said. Passage of the act

would ensure “that these websites that are facilitating trafficking through their very business model will have to take steps to verify the identity of individuals posting advertisements and the age of those who appear in these advertisements.”

On Tuesday, the Washington Supreme Court hears arguments that also target Backpage.com. The case was filed by lawyers representing three minor children who were sold as prostitutes in advertisements on Backpage.com. They claim the website contributed to some of the content of those ads and thereby helped to promote the victimization of children. They also say Backpage.com can’t claim immunity under the

Communications Decency Act because, besides hosting the site, it also acts as an “information content provider.”

Backpage.com filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit but a Superior Court judge denied the request.

The website appealed.

Arguments are set for Tuesday.

Washington lawmakers passed a bill in 2012 that imposed a $10,000 fine and up to a year in prison if a website failed to make reasonable attempts to ascertain the age of someone placing an ad for commercial sex. The day it was to take effect, a federal judge issued a restraining order. The law was struck down in December 2012.

Drivers who use North Road in Mill Creek will need to plan ahead for a road closure Friday morning through Monday morning.

Snohomish County crews plan to close the road to all traffic, including bicyclists and pedestrians, at the 170th Place SW intersection.

Veterans Day Event

The road is scheduled to reopen by 5 a.m. Monday.

Alternate routes are available along Larch Way to the west and the Bothell-Everett Highway to the east.

During the closure, crews will raise the level of 170th Place SW where it connects to North Road to improve sight distance at the intersection.

This work is weatherdependent and could be rescheduled in the event of rain.

The city of Mill Creek has scheduled a Veterans Day ceremony at noon Nov. 11. It is to be held at the veterans monument in Library Park at 15429 Bothell Everett Highway.

MUKILTEO — Two men have been arrested for investigation of robbing another man with his own gun. The arrests stem from an Oct. 6 incident in Mukilteo.

The victim met with an acquaintance and agreed to sell his gun to one of his acquaintance’s friends.

He got into the prospective buyer’s car, according to police reports.

In the car, the acquaintance allegedly placed a live round in the chamber and pointed it at the victim, Mukilteo police officer Colt Davis said.

He then allegedly asked, “How does it feel to get robbed with your own

gun?” The acquaintance also is accused of taking the man’s cellphone before ordering him out of the car.

Mukilteo police officer Andrew Jones worked with the victim to identify the .... buyer through a Facebook search. Jones found multiple pictures of the buyer on Facebook holding various firearms, Davis said.

The suspects — an Everett man, 23, and Oak Harbor man, 21 — were booked into the Snohomish County Jail for investigation of firstdegree robbery. The suspect’s vehicle was impounded and a search warrant was being prepared Monday.

Roach’s trip was paid for by a group with ties to a Turkish cleric.

Previously, board staff had given lawmakers informal advice that took a strict interpretation of what constitutes official business. The board took a looser approach, saying that there was a “reasonable nexus” to Roach’s legislative duties because, among other things, she was invited along with lawmakers from other states and there were discussions about the Turkish political system, U.S. and Turkish economic ties and energy policy.

Lawsuit by Seattle police officers gets tossed

By Gene Johnson Associated Press

SEATTLE — A federal judge has thrown out a lawsuit brought by more than 100 Seattle police officers who said new guidelines on using force jeopardized their safety.

The officers’ arguments were unsupported by the Constitution or case law, Chief U.S. District Judge Marsha Pechman said in an opinion issued Monday.

The Seattle Police Department adopted a new policy concerning the use of force under a 2012 settlement agreement with the U.S. Justice Department, which found that Seattle police routinely used excessive force, especially in low-level situations that might otherwise have been defused.

“It would be at least surprising if allegations of

such a pattern or practice did not lead to the adoption of stricter standards for use of force by officers,” Pechman wrote.

The policy lists guidelines for every weapon used and requires the most serious uses of force to be investigated by a special team.

It spells out when force is appropriate, stresses that alternatives to force should be used “when time, circumstances and safety permit,” and requires that officers carry at least one less-lethal tool such as a Taser.

While it says that force used must be reasonable, it also specifies that the analysis of whether the force was reasonable must allow “that police officers are often forced to make split-second decisions in circumstances that are tense, uncertain, and rapidly evolving.”

Judge: While the Second Amendment ensures the right to keep and bear arms, it doesn’t protect the right to use the weapons.

The officers who signed on to the lawsuit, without the support of the police guild, objected, saying the policy elevates the rights of criminal suspects over those of police. They argued that Merrick Bobb, the court-appointed monitor overseeing the reforms, refused input from the police department in the drafting of the new policy, and that it violates their constitutional right to defend themselves.

Pechman took a dim view of those claims. Even

if Bobb did ignore the input of officers, “he used his court-endowed discretion to reach a result Plaintiffs do not agree with,” she wrote. At any rate, Bobb is immune from lawsuits in his capacity as a quasi-judicial officer, she said.

The judge also dismissed the officers’ constitutional arguments, saying that while the Second Amendment ensures the right to keep and bear arms, it doesn’t protect the right to use the weapons.

Nor did she agree with

the officers’ insistence that the policy violated a “right of self-defense as embedded in the Fourth Amendment,” which protects against unreasonable search and seizures. Pechman said the argument grossly misconstrued Fourth Amendment law.

She dismissed the case with prejudice, meaning the officers cannot amend or refile their claims.

“My clients are disappointed in today’s ruling, but remain resolute in their belief that the new use of force policy unreasonably restricts their ability to defend themselves and perform their jobs in a manner that best keeps themselves and the public safe,” Athan Tramountanas, a lawyer for most of the officers, said.

The officers are considering an appeal,

Tramountanas said.

“Judge Pechman’s dismissal of the suit today confirms that SPD’s use-offorce policy is both practical and constitutional,” Mayor Ed Murray said in a written statement. “Today we move forward with police reform and move past internal divisions over policy. The City and the officers who filed the lawsuit share the same objectives: safety for the public, and safe working conditions for the officers who provide for the public’s safety.”

Justice Department officials said all along the lawsuit was without merit, and stressed that the consent decree requires evaluation of new policies on using force, bias-free policing and responding to people having mental or drug-related issues to make sure they’re working.

OBITUARIES AND MEMORIALS

By Caleb Hutton The Bellingham Herald

BELLINGHAM — Students at Bellingham Technical College were handed one of the more unusual, hands-on assignments so far this school year: Outfit the Whatcom County Sheriff’s Office’s new 18-ton, mine-resistant truck.

Welding students at the college spent last week bolting on seats and installing lights on a Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle that came to the sheriff’s office earlier this year from a military base in Texas.

Those extra seats could be for civilians evacuated from a school shooting, or from a natural disaster, said Whatcom County Undersheriff Jeff Parks.

This is the third, and most heavy-duty, armored vehicle on loan to the sheriff’s office.

It’s a massive, six-by-sixwheel, snowplow-sized

behemoth that fits 10 passengers.

“We probably would have liked to have something a little smaller, but it’s hard to be choosy when you get it free,” Parks said.

A second smaller, older armored truck — called an LAV, short for lightarmored vehicle — could be returned to the U.S. military if the new MRAP makes it redundant.

A third, even lighterarmored car gets more routine use because it drives almost like a pickup.

Local taxpayer money covered the MRAP’s several thousand dollars in shipping and handling costs. Otherwise the vehicle’s $400,000-plus price tag was covered by federal tax money, and gifted to Whatcom County through the 1033 Federal Surplus Program.

That Department of Defense program has been especially controversial this year, viewed by

its critics as an unnerving sign of increased militarization by local police, in the aftermath of heavily armed police responses to protests in Ferguson, Missouri.

Leadership at the sheriff’s office says the military look of the vehicle might seem imposing, but the vehicles are like an extra layer of body armor on high-risk calls: standoffs, shootings and dangerous warrant services. The armored vehicles are used a few times a year — Parks didn’t have an exact count, off-hand — by the sheriff’s SWAT team.

Its high clearance could be extremely useful, Parks said, in the event of another massive flood in Whatcom County.

“If we didn’t have access to these through the surplus program, we would have to pool our funds,” Parks said. “We would basically have to go out and spend $200,000 to get a civilian version.”

Wealthy donate to Oregon pot campaign PORTLAND, Ore. — Two groups tied to wealthy donors have put $800,000 toward legalizing recreational marijuana in Oregon.

The Oregonian reportsed that $500,000 came last week from Drug Policy Action, which gets major funding from billionaire currency trader

George Soros.

Drug Policy Action is the political arm of a New York City-based group that has played a major role in the Oregon initiative, as it did in 2012 in Colorado and Washington.

All told, Drug Policy Action has reported giving $1.85 million to the Oregon marijuana legalization

effort since 2013.

Another major contribution to the Measure 91 campaign — $300,000 — came from a political action committee tied to the family of the late billionaire Peter Lewis.

Proponents of legal pot hope to put $2 million into broadcast ads, vastly outspending opponents.

Nigeria declared Ebola-free Tracking, isolation and aggressive rehydration of patients credited Associated Press ABUJA, Nigeria — Water laced with salt and sugar, and gallons of the nasty-tasting stuff.

Doctors who survived Ebola in Nigeria credited heavy doses of fluids with saving their lives as the World Health Organization declared the country Ebola-free on Monday, a rare victory in the battle against the disease that is ravaging West Africa.

In the end, Nigeria — the most populous country in Africa, with 160 million people — had just 20 cases, including eight deaths, a lower death rate than the 70 percent seen elsewhere across the region.

Officials are crediting strong tracking and isolation of people exposed to the virus, and aggressive rehydration of infected patients to counter the effects of vomiting, diarrhea and other symptoms.

Nigeria’s containment of Ebola is a “spectacular success story,” said Rui Gama Vaz, WHO director for Nigeria.

Survivor Dr. Adaora Igonoh said the treatment is not easy.

It entails drinking, as she did, at least five liters, or 1.3 gallons, of the solution every day for five or six days when you have mouth sores and a sore throat and feel depressed.

“You don’t want to drink anything. You’re too weak, and with the sore throat it’s difficult to swallow, but you know when you have just vomited, you need it,” she told The Associated Press. “I had to mentally tell myself, ‘You have got to drink this fluid, whether it tastes nice or not.’”

Some 9,000 people have been infected with Ebola, and about 4,500 have died, mostly in Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia, with the number of cases expected to increase exponentially.

Dr. Simon Mardel, one of the world’s leading experts on viral hemorrhagic fevers, said the number of deaths could be cut in half if infected people were taught to properly hydrate themselves and do not take anti-inflammatory drugs, which can actually harm Ebola victims.

THE GALVESTON COUNTY DAILY NEWS

Registered nurse Christine Wade greets Carnival Magic passengers disembarking in Galveston, Texas, on Sunday. A Dallas health care worker was in voluntary isolation in her cabin aboard the cruise ship because of her potential contact with the Ebola virus.

Nigeria’s outbreak began in Lagos with a single infected Liberian diplomat who flew there in July, bringing the terrifying disease to Africa’s biggest city, with 21 million people.

With swift coordination

among state and federal health officials, the WHO and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and with ample financial and material resources from Nigeria’s government, isolation wards were

constructed and Ebola treatment centers designated.

Health workers tracked down nearly 100 percent of those who had contact with the infected, paying 18,500 visits to 894 people. The eight deaths included two doctors and a nurse.

Monday’s announcement came 42 days — twice the incubation period — since the last case in Nigeria tested negative.

“The outbreak in Nigeria has been contained,” WHO’s Vaz said. “But we must be clear that we only won a battle. The war will only end when West Africa is also declared free of Ebola.”

In other developments: ■■About 120 people in Texas are being watched for symptoms because they may have had contact with one of Dallas’ three Ebola victims. About 50 others have been given the all-clear after the 21-day maximum incubation period.

Those being monitored include health care workers who treated Thomas Eric Duncan, the first person diagnosed with Ebola in the U.S., and those who cared for two nurses who had treated Duncan and became infected. Duncan died Oct. 8.

■■There are about 140 people being monitored in Ohio because of contact or potential contact with nurse Amber Vinson. Vinson, who cared for Duncan in Texas, flew from Dallas to Cleveland on Oct. 10 and flew back Oct. 13.

■■An Ebola patient has been released from Emory University Hospital in Atlanta after he was determined to be free of the virus.

■■The European Union stepped up efforts to raise nearly $1.3 billion to combat the outbreak.

■■President Barack Obama is appealing to world leaders to help fight the disease.

■■Cuba is sending nearly 400 medical workers to Africa, the largest contribution by any single country.

■■The CDC released new guidelines for health care workers Monday, calling, in part, for face shields, hoods, boot covers and other garb that leave no part of the body exposed.

Urgent-care clinics ill-equipped to treat Ebola

By Julie Watson Associated Press

A new concern over the spread of Ebola surfaced recently when a Dallas County sheriff’s deputy who searched the apartment of the first patient to die from the virus in the U.S. started feeling ill and went to an urgent-care center.

The clinics popping up across the nation aren’t designed to treat serious illnesses and are ill-equipped to deal with suspected Ebola cases.

Doctors are urging patients

to avoid smaller medical facilities and head to emergency rooms if they think they’ve been exposed to the virus that has put a focus on weak spots in the U.S. health care system.

“Patients have a difficult time deciding where they need to go for care” but hospitals are best for serious problems, Dr. William Gluckman said.

The Dallas County deputy was transferred to a hospital this month where he tested negative for Ebola.

Clinics, meanwhile, have rushed to prepare with new training manuals and

protective gear. But most lack essentials like isolation units, said Gluckman of the Urgent Care Association of America, which represents more than 2,600 of the nation’s 9,000 urgent-care centers.

Given the problems at the Dallas hospital where Thomas Eric Duncan died and two nurses were diagnosed with the virus, experts say an Ebola case at a clinic or smaller facility could have been worse.

“That would be an even less controlled situation,” said Dr. David Weber, a disease specialist with the University of North

Carolina. “The likelihood for that is so remote that they may never have thought about that.”

The Urgent Care Association of America sent emails to its 6,400 members asking them to send suspected Ebola cases to hospitals for treatment.

If someone has a fever, headache or other flu-like symptoms and has been in an Ebola hot spot, clinics have been told by the CDC to contain that patient in a single room, call public health officials and contact a hospital for transportation as quickly as possible.

Earth heading for hottest year on record

By Seth Borenstein Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Earth is on pace to tie or even break the mark for the hottest year on record, federal meteorologists say. That’s because global heat records have kept falling in 2014, with September the latest example.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Monday that last month the globe averaged 60.3 degrees Fahrenheit. That was the hottest September in 135 years of record keeping.

It was the fourth monthly record set this year, along with May, June and August.

NASA, which measures temperatures slightly differently,

already had determined that September was record-warm.

The first nine months of 2014 have a global average temperature of 58.72 degrees, tying with 1998 for the warmest first nine months on record, according to NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C. “It’s pretty likely” that 2014 will break the record for hottest year, said NOAA climate scientist Jessica Blunden.

The reason involves El Nino, a warming of the tropical Pacific Ocean that affects weather worldwide.

In 1998, the year started off super-hot because of an El Nino. But then that El Nino disappeared and temperatures moderated slightly toward the end of the year.

This year has no El Nino yet, but forecasts for the rest of the year show a strong chance that one will show up, and that weather will be warmer than normal, Blunden said.

If 2014 breaks the record for hottest year, that also should sound familiar: 1995, 1997, 1998, 2005 and 2010 all broke NOAA records for the hottest years since records started being kept in 1880.

“This is one of many indicators that climate change has not stopped and that it continues to be one of the most important issues facing humanity,” said University of Illinois climate scientist Donald Wuebbles.

Some people, mostly nonscientists, have been claiming

that the world has not warmed in 18 years, but “no one’s told the globe that,” Blunden said.

She said NOAA records show no pause in warming.

The record-breaking heat goes back to the end of last year — November 2013 broke a record.

So the 12 months from October 2013 to September 2014 are the hottest 12-month period on record, Blunden said.

Earth hasn’t set a monthly record for cold since December 1916, but all monthly heat records have been set after 1997.

The U.S. as a whole was warmer than normal for September, but the month was only the 25th warmest on record.

ACROSS THE U.S.

Suspect in 7 deaths hints at even more GARY, Ind. — Police investigating the slayings of seven northwestern Indiana women whose bodies were found over the weekend said Monday they believe it is the work of a serial killer, and that the suspect has indicated there could be more victims going back 20 years.

The Lake County prosecutor’s office Monday charged Darren Vann, 43, of Gary, in the strangulation death of 19-year-old Afrikka Hardy. Her body was found Friday in Hammond.

Gary officials were expected to charge Vann later this week in the deaths of six more women, whose bodies were found Saturday and Sunday.

N.H.: Pumpkin fest melee Police are setting up a task force to investigate violent disturbances near Keene’s annual pumpkin festival that led to property damage, dozens of arrests and many injuries over the weekend. The parties around Keene State College coincided with the Keene Pumpkin Festival on Saturday. Police used tear gas in trying to control the crowds that afternoon, and Gov. Maggie Hassan called on the state’s colleges and universities to “take swift action to hold students involved accountable.”

D.C.: Suspected Nazis The White House said suspected Nazi war criminals and former SS guards should not be receiving millions of dollars in Social Security payments. It said the Social Security Administration and the Department of Justice should work “within the confines of current law” to cut off benefits for criminals who should not receive them. White House spokesman Eric Schultz was responding to an Associated Press investigation that found that dozens of Nazi suspects who lived in the United States collected benefits after being forced out.

The AP report showed that the benefits were used as leverage to persuade the suspected war criminals to leave the country.

Colorado: Edible-pot ban State health authorities suggested banning many edible forms of marijuana, including brownies, cookies and most candies. Then the officials quickly backtracked after the suggestion went public. Health officials said Monday that they made the recommendation in response to a bill ordering edible pot products to be marked, colored or stamped so that they can be identified when out of the package. The agency backtracked after a regulatory workgroup raised questions about the legality of such a ban.

Mich.: U.N. says Detroit should restore water to poor United Nations human rights experts have called on Detroit officials to restore water to those unable to pay, including those with disabilities or chronic illnesses. Two experts visiting Detroit to observe the effect of water service shutoffs said Monday that shutoffs affect the poorest and most vulnerable. The city said about 27,000 shutoffs were made between Jan. 1 and Sept. 30.

AROUND THE WORLD Sweden: Submarine hunt Sweden’s biggest submarine hunt since the dying days of the Soviet Union has put countries around the Baltic Sea on edge. Swedish naval ships, helicopters and ground troops combed the Stockholm archipelago for a fourth day Monday for signs of a foreign submarine or smaller underwater craft that officials suspect entered Swedish waters illegally. While Sweden hasn’t linked any country to the suspected intrusion — and Moscow suggested it was a Dutch sub — the incident sent a chill through the Baltic Sea region, where Russian forces have been accused of a series of border violations on land, sea and air in recent months.

Turkey: Kurdish fighters Turkey said it was helping Iraqi Kurdish fighters cross into Syria to support their brethren fighting Islamic State militants in a key border town, although activists inside embattled Kobani said no forces had arrived by Monday evening. The statement by Turkey’s Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu came hours after the U.S. airdropped weapons and ammunition to resupply Kurdish fighters for the first time.

Boeing reworks tanker schedule

By Tony Capaccio Bloomberg News

WASHINGTON — Boeing is revising its master schedule for developing the new U.S. Air Force aerial tanker, adding to uncertainty about a plane that already has run up an estimated $1 billion in excess costs for the contractor.

The Air Force “has been continually monitoring” Boeing’s “progress on their internal schedules, and as we get” the

contractor’s proposed revised time line “we will continue to assess the milestones,” Ed Gulick, a spokesman for the service said in an emailed statement.

Boeing won the tanker work in February 2011 when it beat Paris-based European Aeronautic, Defence & Space Co. for the initial contract to replace the Air Force’s aging fleet of KC-135 Stratotankers, which first flew in 1956, to refuel warplanes and transports in mid-air.

The Air Force and the U.S. Government Accountability Office have praised Boeing’s progress on the $51 billion program to build 179 of the planes, which is based on the company’s 767 jetliner and designated the KC-46.

However, the service estimates that Boeing will have to absorb $1 billion in costs for exceeding a $4.9 billion ceiling to develop the first four planes.

The key contract milestone is the delivery of 18 combat-ready

tankers, equipped to carry more than 212,000 pounds of aviation fuel and operate at altitudes up to 43,000 feet, by August 2017.

Boeing’s schedule revision “is intended to keep us on track” to meet that deadline, Caroline Hutcheson, a spokeswoman for the company, said.

Chicago-based Boeing is looking at how “to get us in a better position” to accomplish that, See BOEING, Page A10

Self-service, simply Everett Clinic uses technology to ease path to care

By Marci Dehm The Herald Business Journal

The Everett Clinic expects close to a million patient visits this year. Many of those patients were, or will be, among the first to enjoy a number of innovations designed to make their experience easier.

Chris Knapp, the clinic’s chief legal officer, is part of a multi-disciplinary group called Technology and the Future of Medicine. Its members keep their fingers on the pulse of technological advances in health care.

“There’s a lot of talk about high-tech innovations in health care,” Knapp said. “But some of the things that patients really want are things as simple as making it easy to schedule an appointment and making it easier to refill a prescription.”

In June, the Everett Clinic implemented online appointment scheduling for primary care providers, using the patient portal called My Chart. Instead

of requesting an appointment time and taking what is offered, patients can now log on and see all of the appointment times that are open and choose the one they prefer.

What surprised Knapp and his colleagues was the way this self-scheduling took off without any advertising or promotion.

They did a “soft” opening — no announcement — to see what the initial response would be.

“We turned it on about 5 p.m. one evening and by 7 a.m. the next morning 176 people had already found it and made direct online appointments,” Knapp said.

Currently, online scheduling is only available for primary care providers but eventually will be expanded to 44 specialties.

Close to 200,000 patients are seen each year in the Everett Clinic’s eight walk-in locations.

Online, those patients can look up approximate wait times.

As Knapp explained it, a patient might live by the

Gunderson walk-in location in Everett, but if there is a shorter wait time at Lake Stevens, Silver Lake or another place, they might choose to drive a little farther to be seen a little sooner.

Most of the Everett Clinic’s walk-in locations are open seven days a week and have weekend and evening hours. But in response to patient requests, the Everett Clinic has extended hours at most locations for primary care and most specialty care.

The new standard hours for primary care are 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Monday through Thursday and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday. Many locations now offer Saturday hours, as well.

The Everett Clinic also has introduced self-service touch screen kiosks for appointment check-in and other routine tasks at the Smokey Point and Lake Stevens locations. Kiosks are planned for the Everett Founders and Gunderson buildings on See CLINIC, Page A10

Feds warns car owners to get air bags fixed Associated Press

biz bits

DETROIT — A potential safety crisis over defective air bags widened Monday as the U.S. government issued an urgent plea to more than 4.7 million people to get their cars fixed.

The inflator mechanisms in the air bags can rupture, causing metal fragments to fly out when the bags are deployed in crashes.

DETROIT — At least 29 people have died and 27 people have been seriously injured in crashes involving General Motors cars with defective ignition switches, said attorney Kenneth Feinberg, who was hired by GM to compensate victims.

Feinberg said he has received 184 death claims since August. Of those, 29 have been deemed eligible for compensation, up two from last week. Twenty-seven of the 1,333 injury claimants have received compensation offers.

U.S. airlines are raising base fares on many domestic flights even though they are getting a windfall from lower fuel prices.

Delta Air Lines raised fares on many U.S. routes by $4 per round Thursday, and other big airlines have matched them, according to FareCompare. com CEO Rick Seaney and J.P. Morgan analyst Jamie Baker.

Airlines raise fares

By Anne D’innocenzio NEW YORK — Ikea, whose stadium-sized furniture stores draw shoppers from miles around, is making an online push. The CEO of Ikea Group, the world’s largest furniture chain, is pushing for sales growth, while making its ready-to-assemble furniture more accessible to shoppers increasingly buying online.

Peter Agnefjail, Ikea’s president and CEO, said Friday that he remains focused on reaching sales of $63.7 billion by 2020, a goal set a couple of years ago. And he said he’s not unnerved by the recent investor fears about another recession in Europe.

He plans to reach that goal by opening more stores, while making the locations more inviting and expanding its online business around the globe.

“We are optimistic about what we see,” said Agnefjail.

“Unemployment is stabilizing in many markets.”

But Agnefjail acknowledged the Swedish retailer, which operates 315 massive stores around the globe, has to go where shoppers are heading.

“Customers still would like to sit in the sofa and feel how comfortable it is,” he said. But he said they also mix up online and offline shopping. “What we do see is that customers are more walking across channels in a way that is very seamless.”

Ikea sells online in only about half of the countries it operates. And now 90 percent of the 9,500 items offered in its stores are online, up from about half a few years ago, on a global basis.

In the U.S., 70 percent of its store products are offered online.

BRIEFLY

Safety advocates say at least four people have died from the problem and there have been multiple injuries. They also say more than 20 million vehicles in the U.S. are equipped with the faulty air bags.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration warned people whose cars have been recalled during the past two years for faulty air bag inflators to take them to dealers right away. The

inflators are made by Takata Corp., a Tokyo-based supplier of seat belts, air bags, steering wheels and other auto parts. So far, automakers have recalled about 12 million vehicles worldwide because of the problem.

“This message comes with urgency,” NHTSA said in a statement. The agency has been investigating the problem since June, and has cited reports of six inflators rupturing, causing

three injuries.

The warning covers cars made

by Toyota, Honda, Mazda, BMW, Nissan, General Motors and Ford.

Passenger or driver air bags or both could be affected depending on the vehicle.

Toyota issued the latest recall Monday, covering passenger air bags in 247,000 older model vehicles including the Lexus SC,

she said. “The challenges that Boeing is addressing” are “leading the company to re-plan elements of its tanker work flow, and its internal schedules,” she said.

Boeing’s proposed revised schedule won’t be presented to Pentagon acquisition officials until early next year, after an Air Force evaluation, according to Gulick.

Before the August 2017 milestone can be met, the

reception desk. It’s simply an option.

Knapp said, “We know that some people still like to check in with the receptionist. We’re just offering those kiosks as different way — providing patients with self-service.”

Self service has long been part of the Everett

Clinic’s vision. Patients now take it for granted that they can securely go online to pay a bill or to request a prescription refill. And what is good for the patients is usually good for business.

“If we can make easier for a patient to refill a prescription, it makes for a

happier patient and makes it more likely that they will comply with their health care treatment,” Knapp said.

Patients can also go online to find out how much common tests and procedures cost and to review lab results and appointments.

But with all of these new conveniences come concerns about security and privacy. Knapp said the Everett Clinic takes privacy and security very seriously.

In 2012, the clinic fired 13 employees for allegedly accessing patient medical records without authorization. In February 2014, the

organization was rewarded for security efforts with a privacy excellence award from FairWarning, a patient privacy monitoring firm.

The Everett Clinic recently celebrated its 90th anniversary. More information is available at www.

EverettClinic.com.

tanker must complete a series of interim steps, spelled out in the schedule Boeing is revising.

They include the first flight of a prototype and then of a fully equipped tanker, the first deliveries, a Pentagon decision on initial production, the start of combat testing and finally the more lucrative decision on full production.

A decision on starting low-rate production in Everett is scheduled for August 2015; a decision on full-rate production in June 2017. The Pentagon test office this year warned that the start of combat testing, scheduled for May 2016,

could slip a year.

A revamped schedule may invite increased congressional scrutiny as Boeing and the Air Force seek approval to increase production.

Tanker purchases are planned to increase from the seven requested this year to 12 in fiscal 2016 and 18 in 2017.

The Pentagon’s Defense Contract Management Agency, which oversees plant operations, said in an internal assessment in August that the revised Boeing schedule “is expected to have significant changes to baseline dates of major milestones.”

Gulick said that “while it’s too early to predict if the revised” schedule “will result in an increase to the government estimate” of the development phase’s cost, the government’s “liability is capped at the ceiling price.”

Boeing executives previously have said they expect to recoup the $1 billion in excess development costs during the program’s $39 billion production phase.

The company is to report its third-quarter earnings Oct. 22.

Boeing officials are “currently seeking internal” approval by the company’s top leaders for a proposed

revised schedule before coordinating it with the Air Force, Gulick said.

Then the Air Force will conduct a “schedule risk assessment” to examine the assumptions behind the proposed changes and their impact, he said.

Among the difficulties forcing Boeing to revise the schedule were a sixmonth delay in turning on the power of the prototype tanker, a reworking of about 5 percent of the initial aircraft’s wiring after it wasn’t installed to specifications and “slower than planned” completion of assembly line “functional” testing, Gulick said in his

statement.

Wiring design and installation issues pushed the first flight of the initial prototype to about November from June, according to the Air Force.

Boeing is spending about $7.5 million a month of its management reserve designed for unanticipated problems, Gulick said.

The Air Force estimates that based on its current expenditure rate, the contractor will exhaust the reserve in March, he said. When faced with diminished management reserves on the program, Boeing has replenished it with its own funds.

Absolute humidity is a measurement of water vapor in the air, while relative humidity, which is commonly used in weather reports, measures air moisture content relative to the air temperature.

Toyota has been testing the air bags, and it found an unusually high incidence of inflator failures along the coasts, according to spokesman John Hanson.

The investigation continues and the recall could be expanded to more areas, Hanson said.

Toyota says it knows of no crashes or injuries from the cars it has recalled.

Neither Toyota nor NHTSA could say exactly how far inland the recall area goes or what states it covers.

NHTSA urged people to check if their car has been recalled by going to https:// vinrcl.safercar.gov/vin/and typing in their vehicle identification number.

Clarence Ditlow, executive director of the nonprofit Center for Auto Safety, estimated there are 20 million to 25 million cars in the U.S. alone that are equipped with the faulty air bags.

Toyota said repairs will be done for free and notices will go into the mail starting around Oct. 25, according to documents.

People who live in areas that are outside of the recall zone who are afraid of driving their cars should contact their dealerships, Hanson said.

Last week, two U.S.

senators questioned why the safety agency is allowing the recalls to be done on a regional basis because cars could be driven to, or people could move to the high-humidity states.

They also cited the May 27, 2009, death of 18-yearold Ashley Parham of Oklahoma City. She was driving a 2001 Honda Accord across a high school parking lot in Midwest City, Oklahoma, when it hit another car. The air bag inflated and sent shards of metal into her neck, causing her death.

“Based on NHTSA’s open investigation, the agency will take appropriate action, including expanding the scope of the recall if warranted,” an agency statement said.

Congratulations!

Corolla, Matrix, Sequoia and Tundra.

Like many of the other recalls, the Toyota recall covers vehicles in South Florida, along the Gulf Coast, in Puerto Rico, Hawaii, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, Saipan and American Samoa — all areas that have high absolute humidity.

Toyota, in documents posted on the NHTSA website, said the company and Takata are still trying to pinpoint the cause of the rupture and to gauge the influence of high absolute humidity.

IN OUR VIEW | Preventing blight in cities

High cost of abandoned homes Our mega-throwaway-society has expanded to include homes (old and abandoned, or newly mini-mansioned, or still under construction); apartment and condo buildings, industrial and commercial buildings; and depending on where you live, such as the Northwest, all manner of boats and vessels, in and out of the water, but mostly in.

Detroit used to be the poster child for abandoned homes and buildings, as well as entire neighborhoods. But since the recession, cities all across the country, (even fiscally sound ones) have the same problem.

In Eastern Washington, Spokane is considering creating a registry of abandoned homes as a way to prevent them from slipping into disrepair.

The ordinance would require banks or other responsible parties to register all abandoned homes in the city. The parties would have to provide a local contact to respond to problems such as broken windows or graffiti. The registry would include properties that are abandoned and under foreclosure, trustee’s sale, tax assessor’s lien sale, deed transfer in lieu of foreclosure or subject to a contract, the Spokesman-Review reported.

The city would require an annual $200 fee for each property. A private company would be hired to create and maintain the registry. Failing to register a property would result in a $500 civil fine.

It’s a good start to a big problem. Many cities, particularly

in the East, have enacted similar ordinances, including speeding up the time it takes a property to go through foreclosure. Everett requires vacant buildings in its main business district be kept up to a certain standard. Something similar to Spokane’s plan would help Everett address non-business nuisance properties.

One of the problems with the abandoned properties is that they attract squatters, who quickly render the place beyond a state of “disrepair.”

It’s the “broken window” theory writ large. Why wouldn’t people without a place to live take over a neglected, abandoned house?

(It’s crazy, but maybe there’s a way to use a small percentage of these properties

to legally house “squatters,” who then might actually take some pride in keeping the places up. But that would “reward” people for being “squatters.” And we can’t have that. So the least we can do is punish people/institutions for being “abandoners,” who lower property values and create nuisance properties, which are then inhabited by squatters...)

The banks and mortgage companies, or the “responsible parties” as they are known, are often located outside of the state, making it harder for cities to get any response at all.

Which is why fees and fines are the way to go. Banks and lenders have money; cities left to deal with the foreclosure crisis do not.

■■ELECTION

Don’t re-elect the status quo Why would we re-elect any incumbents? Look at our roads, schools, taxes and they want to up our car tabs again, after saying no, no, no.

We have Lotto; we have among the highest property, liquor, cigarette and gas taxes in the nation. What do they do with our money?

But we do have same sex marriage and legal pot?

■■PRESIDENT OBAMA

Need supporters to get out, vote ​Obama was elected president twice with a majority of the vote, unlike Bush. So more than 50 percent of the people chose him.

The recent letter writer claiming that only 10 percent support Obama is an apparent racist rant referring to the fact that only blacks, who make up about that percent of population, would approve of him. I hope those who supported Obama in 2012 will vote for politicians who

support him now.

Mr. Duncan, who died recently from Ebola, was firstly denied the care he needed in Dallas because we have a health-care system more concerned about how a person with a fever and some stomach pain will pay for their care, than where they had been on their travels. Obama has appointed someone to take charge of the challenges that Ebola presents here in the U.S., and he is sending personnel and funds to help defeat the disease in Africa.

That is a sensible response so far. A vote for supporters of Obama will be for engagement in fighting Ebola, rather than isolation from the effort.

A vote for Initiative 594 is a

chance for common sense to overcome blind fear regarding fire arms. All one has to do is read the Sunday letter, “Monied interests behind campaign,” to see how irrational those against the initiative can be. Unfortunately, rich people too often define the debates in our politics. If we deny them providing funds for issues that we dislike, then we must also deny their funding for issues we favor. I have faith that if everyone who can does vote, our country will have a government that will serve us better.

GUEST COMMENTARY | Health care costs

Everett Clinic working to control costs

By Rick Cooper

W

ashington is one of the most efficient states in the nation when it comes to the delivery of cost-effective health care.

However, new statewide analysis shows that many patients still receive unneeded and expensive care. This excess care dramatically adds to the cost of health care — and in some instances could threaten the health of patients.

A recent statewide study conducted by the Washington Health Alliance underscores the need for physicians to adhere to clinical practice guidelines and evidencebased medicine when treating patients and also for patients to be more assertive in directing their own care.

The data is startling. For example, 57 percent of women received pap smears too frequently and 17 percent received pap smears even though they had undergone a hysterectomy. Nearly a third of children with suspected appendicitis were needlessly exposed to radiation from CT scans when an ultrasound would have sufficed. One fourth of all patients with uncomplicated

T

he story of Brittany Maynard has revived the debate over Oregon’s Death with Dignity Act. The law lets terminally ill patients end their lives with the aid of a doctor.

That Maynard is a pretty 29-year-old newlywed using her personal tragedy to broaden support for such laws provokes and rankles foes of physician-assisted suicide. She also rejects the term “suicide.”

Maynard suffers from a malignant FROMA HARROP brain tumor, which extensive surgery failed to contain. Given six months to live about six months ago, she and her family moved from California to Oregon specifically to obtain the right to shorten her suffering without resorting to deception.

Washington state, Montana, New — Brittany Maynard Mexico and Vermont now permit doctor-assisted suicide, as well.

Foes of such laws make a “slippery slope” argument. The existence of this option, they say, would pressure sick people to kill themselves.

But if you think about it, these laws can do the opposite. They can lessen a pressure that already exists.

It’s no secret that very sick people often shorten their painful lives with the help of doctors. And it’s no secret that, as these laws’ critics say, dying people sometimes feel pushed by heirs and exhausted caretakers to end their ordeal with a bottle of pills.

But by bringing dying patients’ desire to end their lives into a legal framework full of safeguards, such decisions can be made — or not made — with greater compassion and less deception. The Oregon law insists that two physicians determine that the person will probably die in six months or less. Patients must be screened for depression and told of alternatives, such as hospice care. And the patients must take the lethal prescription themselves.

“The patient can change their mind right up to the last minute,” Maynard has said. “I feel very protected here in Oregon.”

Making a different case, social conservative Michael Gerson writes that a “right” to die “begins to look more and more like an expectation.” But laws such as Oregon’s move any expectation into the open.

Terminally ill people are often depressed and socially isolated. And if they are surrounded by “loved ones” who, for personal reasons or by their own notion of mercy, think an earlier death would be for the best, death-with-dignity laws can bring in outside guidance. If depression is making them feel life is not worth continuing, that can be treated. And the patients can learn about other approaches to deal with pain, such as palliative care.

This is a very uncomfortable conversation but one that must be held. Terminal illness does not come with simplistic guidelines. That is doubly so in an era when medical technology can prolong a life in agonizing ways. For example, is rejecting another round of chemo a decision to die?

Nor are there easy political divisions between supporters and opponents of such laws. Libertarian conservatives support them as an expression of autonomy over one’s body.

A Gallup poll found a slim majority of Americans now regarding “doctor-assisted suicide” as morally acceptable. In another Gallup poll, 70 percent agreed that doctors should be allowed to end patients’ lives “by some painless means” if that’s the wish of the patients and their families.

Caring for the terminally ill creates ethical slopes going in all directions. What death-with-dignity laws can do, ironically, is apply some brakes to making such decisions. As such, they may offer the least slippery slope of them all.

The patient can change their mind right up to the last minute. I feel very protected here in Oregon.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

George Sambrano Marysville

Death with dignity laws help patients

headaches received potentially unneeded CT or MRI scans.

The report also highlighted inappropriate prescription of certain medications. Far too many doctors are still giving antibiotics to treat viral infections even though the medical evidence shows these drugs have no effect.

There are many reasons why patients receive inappropriate care. Consider prescribing antibiotics for viruses, for example. Some doctors may find it hard to tell a patient with a cold that there is no better solution than bed rest.

They may feel pressure to offer some sort of perceived relief so they prescribe antibiotics even though science says the treatment will have no benefit.

Some physicians may be so busy delivering care that they have a difficult time staying up to date with the latest standards of care, which are constantly evolving. Still others may order excessive tests because they fear malpractice liability.

All of the findings in the study can be addressed. I know that because at The Everett Clinic, we have devoted much of the last 15 years to tackling the very

issues outlined in the study.

And while we’re not perfect, we have made great strides in eliminating the waste and costs of unnecessary care.

The advantage of being a larger physician group practice is we have the bandwidth to stay updated with the latest standards of care and share that with our physicians. We also can monitor how care is delivered, counsel physicians on best practices, and encourage our patients to take an active interest in the kind of care they receive.

The Everett Clinic has undertaken many reforms over the years to avoid many of the issues outlined in the Washington Health Alliance study.

We were one of the first medical groups in the nation to ban pharmaceutical companies from doctor’s offices, believing that prescribing medicine should be based on science and medical experience — not advertising and marketing. Instead of allowing pharmaceutical reps to roam our halls, a clinical pharmacy team reviews the latest drugs to determine effectiveness before adding effective drugs to our formulary.

The Clinic was an early

adopter of generic drugs.

More than 90 percent of medicines prescribed for patients are less expensive generic drugs. This approach saves an estimated $100 million a year compared to the Washington state average.

We have developed standardized, evidence-based protocols for advanced imaging such as MRIs. This has resulted in a reduction of imaging services by 39 percent, saving the clinic, patients and their insurance plans about $4 million a year.

The Clinic can do all of this because of our size of more than 500 providers with a shared commitment to deliver the highest standard of care and control health care costs.

The statewide study offers an opportunity for all in health care to look at where we may be falling short of providing care for our patients.

As patients pay more outof-pocket for their health care, they are demanding better quality care. They expect that their providers will prescribe appropriate and tangible health solutions.

Rick Cooper is the chief executive officer of The Everett Clinic.

Both women were represented by Seattle attorney Judith Lonnquist.

Though Thiersch

enjoyed respect from other forensic scientists and many law enforcement officials, management problems made his tenure at the county a rough one.

The scrutiny of the normally behind-the-scenes office gained public attention starting in 2010.

Early this year, county administrators brought in retired Lake Forest Park Police Chief Dennis Peterson on a temporary assignment to shore up the office’s day-to-day operations, removing Thiersch from that role.

The county in August

hired Dan Christman, a former Bothell police detective with a strong forensics background, to take over for Peterson on a permanent basis.

The office has 14 employees and an annual budget of $2.2 million. Its staff played a huge role in the response

to the March 22 Oso mudslide by identifying all 43 victims recovered from the debris field.

The office has hired a forensic pathologist to temporarily fill some of Thiersch’s duties. Christman said he’s looking to restructure the office

Coburn later wrapped an arm around Giles’ back.

“We truly believe Dan is not guilty of this and we’re disappointed the jury found him guilty.

It’s not over,” Friedman said later.

Under state guidelines, Giles faces a minimum 22 years behind bars at his Nov. 5 sentencing. A much longer prison term is likely, however, because of his criminal history. Giles has been cycling in and out of prison all of his adult life, starting with a rape conviction in 1987.

At trial, Giles’ attorneys did their best to convince jurors that the evidence was unreliable and that the investigation had suffered from detectives’ tunnel vision, zeroing in on their client prematurely.

“What a relief!” cold case detective Jim Scharf said of the verdict.

Scharf breathed life back into the case when he submitted the steering wheel from Berry’s bloodstained car for DNA testing.

Evidence convinced investigators that the killer not only attacked Berry in her car, but also likely drove the vehicle to dump her body in a wooded area behind the Everett Mall.

In 2004, forensic testing using techniques that weren’t available in 1995 found on the steering wheel a mix of DNA from Berry and a man. Scharf said that discovery convinced him one day Berry’s killer would be found.

“Before that, this was one of a number of cold cases that I didn’t think had much of a chance of getting resolved,” he said.

Four years later, in 2008, forensic scientists at the state’s crime lab said Giles was the man who left behind DNA on the steering wheel.

MARK MULLIGAN / THE HERALD

Lisa Berry (left) smiles Monday morning after hearing the jury deliver a guilty verdict for Danny Giles in the 1995 murder of Berry’s sister, Patti Berry.

The odds of a random match were calculated at 1 in 580 million.

Scharf and another detective confronted Giles in 2011. Giles told a series of easily refuted lies about the jobs he’d held and the places he was known to frequent. Detectives believed he was trying to distance himself from places connected to Berry’s killing. At the same time, Giles appeared to know a great deal about the case, including that Scharf was the lead detective.

“His distancing himself from everything, I think, gave us a lot more hope that we could get a conviction,” Scharf said Monday.

Deputy prosecutors Craig

Matheson and Bob Langbehn both said they were pleased for Berry’s family.

Matheson said he believed the jury listened carefully and reached the proper decision, but it wasn’t an easy case for anyone.

“Obviously, there is a reason this didn’t get solved for 19 years,” he said.

Giles was not a suspect until 2008 when the DNA link was made. By the time trial approached, additional testing had turned up DNA consistent with his profile on the cuffs of the jeans Berry was wearing when she was killed, and on the driver’s

seat headrest from her car. Jurors were told those were traces left by the killer when he put Berry’s body into the back seat, and when he pulled off her pants before dumping her in the woods.

Further testing also tied Giles to the 1995 disappearance and presumed death of Tracey Brazzel, who dropped from sight a few months before Berry’s killing. Giles’ DNA allegedly turned up on Brazzel’s car, too. He was charged in 2012 with murder in that case as well.

Trial in the Brazzel killing is now scheduled for early next month.

before hiring a permanent replacement.

For 2015, County Executive John Lovick’s proposed budget seeks to add two staff positions at the office.

Noah Haglund: 425339-3465; nhaglund@ heraldnet.com. Twitter: @NWhaglund.

As the lawyers waited to speak with jurors, Matheson shook Friedman’s hand. The two veteran attorneys said they needed to talk about the upcoming Brazzel trial and whether the time table is realistic.

“You know what we want,” Matheson said.

Brazzel’s body has never been located.

Friedman shook his head.

“He’s never going to give it to us,” Matheson said of Giles.

Berry was a single mom who supported herself and her daughter, then 2, by dancing nude at Honey’s, a nightclub that used to be located along Highway 99 south of Everett. She disappeared July 31, 1995, after working her shift.

Her family searched for her and after her body was found, never wavered in urging police and prosecutors to keep pressing for answers.

On Monday, Stensrud brought to court with her the 1999 report she and the families of other murder victims had prepared about “cold case” squads, and the good that they do. The report was part of the pitch they made to convince Snohomish County officials to set aside money to start the team.

Only when killers are put behind bars will families have the chance to properly grieve, Stensrud wrote at the time.

“What I want most of all is to one day spend some time at the cemetery, (to) tell Patti that we never gave up, and that my love for her kept me going. Only then can I say my final ‘goodbye’ and start to rebuild my life,” she wrote.

Stensrud said that soon, she and others in her family will make that visit — something they’ve been waiting on for nearly 20 years.

Tips to tackle blood pressure I

f present trends continue, nine out of 10 Americans will eventually develop high blood pressure during their lives. Simple dietary measures, however, can help maintain healthy pressures and prevent hypertension from occurring in the first place. Here’s the lowdown on blood pressure and diet.

Pressure-related problems Your blood pressure is usually recorded as two numbers such as 120/80. The upper, or systolic, pressure measures the force in your blood vessels when your heart contracts.

The diastolic pressure, or lower number, represents the force while your heart rests between beats. Though both pressures might fluctuate, results should normally stay below 120/80.

Accurate readings on several occasions of 140/90 or higher are diagnostic of hypertension, according to the National Institutes of Health.

Even slight elevations in blood pressure might put you at risk for developing serious problems.

Hypertension is the leading cause of coronary heart disease — the No. 1 killer of men and women in this country. And it increases your odds of having a stroke, the third most common cause of death in women and the fifth in men. In addition, high pressures can contribute to heart failure, hardening of the arteries, kidney disease and blindness.

Dietary steps might ward off many of these problems.

A DASH of prevention In the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension study, published by the NIH, researchers found that adults can reduce their blood pressure by eating a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol and rich in fruits, vegetables and lowfat dairy foods. Study results showed that the DASH diet works as effectively as some blood pressure medications.

The NIH recommends the DASH diet for adults of all ages who want to reduce blood pressure. It even lowers pressure a little in those with normal readings. The benefits come because DASH is rich in minerals — calcium, potassium and magnesium — as well as fiber. For a person who eats 2,000 calories a day, the plan calls for: n Vegetables, 4 to 5 servings each day n Fruits, 4 to 5 servings each day n Grains, 7 to 8 servings each day n Lowfat or nonfat dairy products, 2 to 3 servings each day n Meats, poultry and fish, no more than 2 servings each day n Nuts, seeds and legumes, 4 to 5 servings each week n Limited intake of fats and sweets See SMOOTS, Page B5

Beaded chains an easy reminder to catch breast cancer early

reast cancer detection is now as easy as digging through your purse for your car keys.

BeadPositive key chains have beads the size of potentially dangerous breast lumps. The colorful wooden beads form a pretty key ring. The four beads represent the sizes of breast lumps, ranging in size from a Lemonhead to a Super Ball, that can be found through check-ups and inspections.

“It’s a great visual,” said Angie Fair, Citrine wellness center coordinator. “These are the actual size.”

The three-dimensional functional-yet-fun item is part the breast health program at Citrine Health, a downtown Everett nonprofit that houses a center that includes wellness programs, social services, health screenings, The Bra Shop and a gift shop.

The key chains are $7 and are sold online and at the gift shop, which also has art, jewelry, scarves, dresses and home decor.

All BeadPositive proceeds support breast health programs at the agency, which connects women to free or low-cost preventative health care services. The Bra Shop specializes in bras and bra forms for women who are post-mastectomy, but also has regular bras.

Early detection saves lives.

ANDREA BROWN / THE HERALD

The Bra Shop in Everett, part of Citrine Health’s breast health program, celebrated its grand opening Oct. 15.

BeadPositive beads The beads represent the different sized breast lumps that can be found using the following detection methods:

36mm (1.4 inches): The size lump that can be found by accident

24mm (0.81 inch): The size lump that can be found by regular breast self-exams

between the size of the lumps,” Fair said.

“Not only do these make great key chains, they are a great reminder to yourself to do self-exams every month and

16mm (0.59 inch): The size lump that can be found by first mammogram

12mm (0.43 inch): The size lump that can be found by a yearly mammogram

to get your mammogram every year.”

The key chains spark conservation and awareness.

“Other women will say, ‘What is that?’ and you can say, ‘Glad

you asked,’ ” Fair said.

“This is why you should be doing screenings because these beads really are actually milled to the sizes of average lumps based on detection methods.

The largest is literally the size of breast lump found by accident, meaning you’re not checking.

The others represent what you can detect yourself by doing selfexams, mammograms and by comparing a previous mammogram to a current and looking for a change.”

Former Citrine worker Kim Schaaf started making the key chains in 1997 under the name Beads for Life. Citrine later took over the program and made some modifications to the design.

Citrine employees pitch in to make the key chains during breaks or to meet demand.

“It’s relaxing, a great way to de-stress with something fun to do and something meaningful,” Fair said. “We ship orders See BEADS, Page B5

How to stop sabotaging your weight-loss efforts

How to deal when she keeps saying ‘I’m fat’

DAILY CROSSWORD

Adapted from a recent online discussion.

Dear Carolyn: The woman I love has some real issues with her appearance that I don’t understand. The “ugh, I’m so fat” thing is just the surface. I tend to reflexively assure her, but she says that doesn’t help at all. Then if I ignore the woe-is-me stuff, she just seems to wallow until I assure her, then it stops for a while.

Other than apologizing profusely for the message our society sends to young women, I don’t think there is much more I can do.

It’s not like it’s all the time, it borders on rare, but is there anything I can do to help her? Or is just letting her let it out the right plan?

— Happy Friday!

How often is “rare”? It matters.

If it’s only, say, a few times a year, then yes to just letting her have her say — and not underestimating the power of kind words and sincerity. Stuff just wells up, presumably, and this is the way she reacts, and then it passes, like a tide.

If it’s more frequent, like once a month ... well, specifically once a month-ish, then it could be hormonal.

But if it’s weekly, then try drawing her out next time she

CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT complains: “I’m never sure what to say. I love you. I love how you look. My love is not pegged to how you look.

“But my saying these things apparently doesn’t help. Can you think of anything that would?”

If she’s receptive, then you can be more specific, such as: “Do these feelings pass, or do you always feel this way and just choose to speak up only rarely?”

Not that there’s an easy solution either way — asking is merely a way to nudge her into thinking beyond “I’m so fat,” and also to show her you’re on her side.

Shaky self-confidence is a tough problem to solve, but this tells her you’re ready to start when she is.

Screaming daycare worker needs to be investigated Dear Abby: I would like to weigh in on your response to “Day Care Drama in Indiana” (Sept.

1), whose neighbor screams at the children in her day care. I worked for 25 years investigating serious complaints, many involving verbal abuse, against day care providers for my state’s licensing agency. It is critical for this reader to contact Indiana’s licensing agency and make a complaint.

Verbal abuse is extremely damaging to young children, and parents are often reluctant to believe their provider would subject their children to such cruelty.

Also, if your reader is hearing screaming, there could easily be hitting taking place as well.

If your reader were to approach the children’s parents individually as you advised, they would likely be discounted as a “cranky neighbor.” However, if the licensing investigator were to pay a visit and interview the older past and present children, the provider would be cited — or closed down — and the findings could be presented to the parents by an objective party. — Concerned Dear Concerned: Thank you for correcting me. Many readers agreed that this situation should be reported immediately to the agency that monitors day care centers. To remain silent and allow the abuse to continue would also be child abuse.

Many also suggested contacting Child Protective Services and afterward following up to make sure this issue has been investigated. If not, the local police should then be notified.

DEAR ABBY for the rest of my life.

We had a great sexual relationship until a week ago, when she decided she wants to wait until we are married to have sex again.

For me, sex is an extremely important part of a relationship. Now that she’s refusing, I don’t feel as close to her.

Brenda cites her religious faith and setting an example for her kids as the reasons she now wants to wait. Obviously, I am willing to wait until marriage, but how do I deal with this until then? — Disappointed in Reno Dear Disappointed: If you are confused about your lady friend’s “180,” I think you’re justified. If her religious beliefs prevented her from having sex before marriage, she wouldn’t have jumped the gun — and I’m assuming the two of you weren’t making love in front of her children. Her change in behavior may be an attempt to hasten the date of your wedding.

However, because you no longer feel as close to her, put on the brakes and start premarital counseling. The first subject on the agenda should be a frank discussion about sex and what it means to both of you. It will help you understand each other better before you commit for a lifetime, because three months isn’t very long for a couple to date, and you really don’t know Brenda very well yet.

Bob Seger launching tour, new album

Tuesday’s highlights on TV include: It’s time for the 2014 World Series. Game 1 is played in the home ballpark of the unlikely American League champion, the Kansas City Royals. 4:30 p.m., Fox. “Pretty Little Liars: We Love You to Death” is a “Halloween treat” for fans of the show. Cast members offer a behind-thescenes tour of Rosewood and share some of their favorite eerie moments. 8 p.m., ABC Family.

“Freak Out” might have you doing just that. It’s a devilish hidden-camera show that uses elaborate special effects and makeup to scare the heck out of unsuspecting marks. 9 p.m., ABC Family.

At 69, Bob Seger says he’s ready to hit the road again: He’s scaled back smoking and bicycles 10 miles a day as part of a workout routine.

“I think I’m in pretty good shape,” Seger said in a phone interview, noting that a colonoscopy from a few years ago was clean and he just had a checkup for his tour to promote “Ride Out,” the album released last week and his first since 2006.

The 25-city tour begins Nov. 19 in Saginaw, Michigan, and continues into next year. Seger isn’t saying whether he’ll continue touring beyond that, though he definitely plans to continue creating music: “I just take it tour by tour.”

‘Gray Mountain’ will please John Grisham’s millions of fans

Today is Tuesday, Oct. 21, the 294th day of 2014. There are 71 days left in the year.

Today’s highlight: On Oct. 21, 1944, during World War II, U.S. troops captured the German city of Aachen.

On this date: In 1797, the U.S. Navy frigate Constitution, also known as “Old Ironsides,” was christened in Boston’s harbor.

In 1805, a British fleet commanded by Adm. Horatio Nelson defeated a French-Spanish fleet in the Battle of Trafalgar; Nelson, however, was killed.

In 1879, Thomas Edison perfected a workable electric light at his laboratory in Menlo Park, New Jersey.

“Gray Mountain” (Doubleday),

by John Grisham John Grisham’s latest continues the theme of ordinary people who work in the law profession experiencing a crisis of conscience.

“Gray Mountain” introduces readers to Samantha Kofer, Grisham’s latest character to tackle walking the line between right and wrong. Kofer is working for a giant Wall Street law firm when the financial world collapses in 2008. She soon finds herself leaving her office building with a cardboard box filled with her belongings. She goes to work in a legal clinic in rural Virginia without pay, with the possibility

of returning to her old firm in a year when money woes should have eased.

The town of Brady, Virginia, has a population small enough to ensure that everyone knows everyone else. Kofer becomes involved in the intricacies of helping those who can’t afford legal help find justice. She also learns some big secrets involving the people she has grown to care about and what companies will do for profit.

Grisham has written one of his best legal dramas in quite some time with this dive into smalltown politics.

electricians, laborers and plumbers hard to find. Building permits were being issued at a pace matching last year’s record number. John Morrison, owner and president of Woodford Electrical Service of Everett, said it was a little too busy. Dorothy Robinson, part-owner of Robinson Plumbing of Everett, said finding employees was a nagging problem.

Danny LaFave, of Ebey Island, said he didn’t cut wood to make money, but did it because he loved it. He said that there was a shortage of wood and that prices were up.

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame — plans to play several songs off his new album on tour, plus a mix of staples that he knows he must perform, including “Night Moves,” ‘’Mainstreet” and “Turn the Page.”

“There’s about eight of them that you cannot not do” or fans get upset, Seger said, noting that over time he and his Silver Bullet Band have tried dropping a few from the set list.

“Ride Out” features a mix of rock songs, covers and ballad-like tunes, including one that takes on the topic of climate change.

“It’s all about my kids,” Seger said. “I’m not going to be around that much longer but we’ve all got to worry about our kids and their future.”

� Watching salt, calories and alcohol Findings from the second phase of the study — called DASH-Sodium — indicate that cutting salt intake is another effective way to lower blood pressure. After 14 weeks of following 412 adults on six different diets, researchers found those who consumed a DASH diet with only 1,500 milligrams of sodium a day had the biggest improvement in their blood pressure.

On this diet, people with and without hypertension experienced average reductions of 8.9 in systolic pressure and 4.5 in diastolic pressure. For those with hypertension, pressures dropped even more.

The scientists concluded that eating less salt might help reduce blood pressure risk.

Besides curtailing use of the salt shaker, reducing your weight and alcohol intake may help lower blood pressure, too. In a 30-month study of 875 hypertensive people, obese participants who lost about 10 pounds were 64 percent less likely to have elevated pressures or require medication than those without weight loss. For better pressure control, the American Heart Association recommends limiting alcohol consumption to one daily drink for women or two for men.

No matter what methods of blood-pressure prevention you choose, don’t stop taking your medication without consulting your physician.

Diet

pattern has continued into adulthood. A recent Cornell University study found that adults eat nearly all the food they serve themselves. At restaurants, ask for a to-go box right when the meal is brought to the table and save half the food for another time. At a buffet, sample mini portions of a variety of dishes.

At home, consider using a smaller plate. You can fill it up and eat everything — without guilt.

From Page B1

No cookies ever “When it’s a forbidden food, you’re more likely to overeat once you do have it,” Foster says. A different approach is to figure out a way to incorporate that food into your life in moderation. Keeping a stash in your kitchen might not work. Even if, say, the cookies are double-wrapped in the freezer, they’re going to call out to you when you’re most vulnerable. Instead, when a craving hits, try another tactic, such as visiting the best bakery in town and savoring one or two cookies with a good cup of coffee. “If you give yourself permission, but in reasonable portions and frequency, that’s where you strike a nice balance,” Foster says.

Event crash dieting There’s nothing like a wedding or a school reunion to inspire a diet.

Often, however, as soon as the event is over, we go back to an unhealthful eating pattern. “These short-term changes produce short-term weight loss. Typically they involve more extreme forms of food restriction that cannot be maintained, a sprint instead of a marathon, which is what a healthier lifestyle really is,” Allison says.

makes you feel like a failure. The solution here is simple: Weigh in only once a week. Your weight can fluctuate for a variety of reasons, and checking it every day may not give you an accurate assessment.

Are your clothes getting looser? Do you have more energy? These are positive indicators that you are succeeding. “Let the scale be a guide, but it’s not a judge. It’s not an arbiter of your success, especially in the short term,” Foster says.

Too little sleep Being sleep-deprived appears to change how our brains respond to food. “Judgment and decision-making brain regions become blunted by sleep deprivation when making food choice decisions,” says Matthew Walker, a psychology professor and sleep expert at

UC Berkeley. He explains that with too little sleep the brain structures that control our impulses and desires get out of whack.

Spice up your veggies “Leave behind the oldfashioned notion of plain, steamed, undressed vegetables as the best way to go. That’s boring and borders on punitive,” says cookbook author Mollie Katzen (“The Heart of the Plate: Vegetarian Recipes for a New Generation”).

She advises being creative: Brush veggies with olive oil and singe them on the grill or roast in the oven. Flavor them with sauces made from pulverized nuts, herbs or roasted red peppers.

Add caramelized onions, fresh lime juice, garlic or chile peppers for more flavor. “Food needs to be delicious and desirable. If

the emphasis is simply on ‘healthy,’ people who are skeptical won’t be pulled in,” Katzen says.

Drink enough water Brenda Davy, a nutrition professor at Virginia Tech University, conducted a study with 48 middle aged and older adults, dividing them into two groups on lowcalorie diets. One group was instructed to drink two cups of water before meals. “We were interested in whether or not that would help them eat less and lose more weight over 12 weeks. And in fact, it did,” Davy says. That group lost about 5 more pounds than the other group.

Clean plate club Most of us were taught to clean our plates when we were kids, and the

Sometimes, the people you live with and love are not thrilled when you start losing weight. They might be afraid that your relationship will change.

If someone is tempting you with trigger foods, you need to speak up, Allison says. “Is there anybody who is bringing home doughnuts and waving them in front of your face? How can you address that? If they want those foods, they can have them outside of the house.”

Nighttime noshing “There is some evidence to suggest that we don’t want to be eating a lot late at night, but that is very different from saying you cannot have a snack,” Allison says. However, she cautions that eating after dark might lead to a slippery slope: “Emotionally and physically, we’re tired at night and we’re looking for comforting things. We’re more likely to choose the highercalorie foods than we are during the day. Thinking ahead and portioning them out becomes really important.”

EDH595468 NOTICE OF CITY COUNCIL PUBLIC HEARING ZONING CODE AMENDMENTS - UPPER STORY WALL SIGNS IN THE B-3 ZONE; AND DEFINITION OF HALO LIGHTING NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Everett City Council will hold a public hearing on Wednesday, November 5, 2014, at their regular meeting beginning at 6:30 pm, in the City Council Chambers located in the William E. Moore Historic City Hall, 3002 Wetmore Avenue.

The purpose of the public hearing is to consider the Planning Commission recommendation to amend Ordinance No. 1671-89, which would establish regulations for upper story wall signs for limited usage in the B-3 Zone (Central Business District). Current regulations require signage to be at the street level oriented towards pedestrians, and prohibits signs above the sill of the second floor window. The proposed amendment would allow signage for hotels and non-residential buildings occupying a majority of the net floor area in a single building to be located 60 feet or more above the sidewalk. The amendment will also add a new definition for halo lighting.

The public is welcome to attend and provide comments for consideration by the City Council.

Persons with questions should contact Gerry Ervine, Land Use Manager, at 425 257-8731.

Moore Historic City Hall, 3002 Wetmore Avenue.

The purpose of the public hearing is to consider the Planning Commission recommendation to amend Ordinance No. 3380-14, which established a pilot project to allow student housing for Trinity Lutheran College (TLC) on the southwest corner of California Street and Oakes Avenue, with off-street parking to be provided in the (TLC) parking garage located one block west. The proposed amendment would allow for non-student housing in the event that TLC does not maintain its master lease agreement with the developer / owner of the building.

HOROSCOPE Happy Birthday: Keeping up won’t be a problem, but making decisions will be. Don’t be daunted by what others do or say. Focus inward and strive to do what suits you best.

Steer clear of demanding individuals trying to squeeze you out of your precious time, money or other things that matters to you.

Your numbers are 6, 13, 19, 26, 32, 39, 48.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You’ll be questioned about your relationship with someone. It will be difficult to hide the way you feel. Stick to the truth, but only reveal what’s absolutely necessary. ��� TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Focus on cutting corners and staying within your budget. Refrain from letting anyone talk you into something you don’t feel comfortable doing. Someone isn’t being straight with you. ��� GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Pamper yourself or get out and associate with people in your industry. Embrace obscure and unusual activities, and spend time with people who can offer you a different perspective on the way you can do things. ����� CANCER (June 21-July 22): Take off if trouble develops. It’s better to be safe than sorry. Now is not the time to meddle or get involved in something that has the potential to put you in a compromising position.

Focus on projects you can do alone. �� LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Take over if things need to be accomplished at home or in your community. By taking a positive position, you will gain respect. Communication will lead to an interesting offer. ��� VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Focus on what’s

most important to you. Don’t flaunt your good fortune or someone will show jealousy and offer discord in place of praise. ��� LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Welcome change and initiate what you want to see unfold. It’s a “take charge” kind of day, so don’t waffle or let someone else take over.

Show your strengths and improve your weaknesses. ��� SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Step up to the plate and call the shots. If you work hard, you will get the backing you need to reach your goals. Don’t let red tape slow you down. ��� SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ve got more going for you than you realize.

Don’t complain when you should be showing your positive side and presenting the ideas you want to pursue.

Playing beyond his years

TUESDAY, 10.21.2014

At age 14, Yevgeniy Kolomiyets is Cascade High’s No. 1 tennis player

By David Krueger Herald Writer

One person’s trash became Yevgeniy Kolomiyets’ treasure.

As a 7-year-old, Kolomiyets and his friend Max liked to dumpster dive at their Everett apartment complex. One day, Kolomiyets found a racquetball racket in the rubbish. After winning a tug-of-war with Max, he took his new-found possession home.

“After I got it, my dad would turn the TV on to a pro (tennis) match and I would just copy what they did,” Kolomiyets said.

By watching television, Kolomiyets learned from the best — including pro Novak Djokovic, his favorite player — even he wasn’t getting a lot of court time.

“I didn’t actually play a lot of tennis. It was just literally swinging and copying the pros,” Kolomiyets said.

Seven years later, Kolomiyets is the No. 1 singles player for Cascade High school as a freshman. He finished the regular season 10-5 and is preparing for the opening of the district tennis meet on Tuesday.

And it all started with those

COMMUNITY SPORTS

imitation swings in front of the TV. “I didn’t actually hit a ball until we found the Columbia Athletic Center (in Everett),” Kolomiyets said.

There, as a 7-year-old new to tennis, he began to work on his game, which features a strong serve and forehand. His arrival at Cascade coincided with the departure of former Cascade star Patrick Chung, who was the Bruins’ No. 1 singles player the past four seasons and now attends Gonzaga University.

“It’s a lot of pressure,” Cascade head coach Brian Cherniak said.

“Patrick Chung really owned that spot for quite a while. It’s like all of a sudden Patrick leaves and here’s this kid from nowhere that’s coming to Cascade and is able to take that spot.”

Cherniak, in his first year as the Bruins’ varsity coach, is in his seventh season as a coach at Cascade.

He said that having Kolomiyets is incredibly helpful because — despite the 14-year-old’s age — he’s like another coach on the court.

“He’s really bonded with these juniors and seniors on varsity — and he’s a leader,” Cherniak said.

“He’s a natural teacher as well, and that’s the cool thing. He’s able to teach. So these kids that are fouryear tennis players who are seniors, he’s like, ‘Let me help you with this.

Here’s what I see.’ And he does it in a way that is just really easy to understand. He’s just an excellent teacher, as well as a player. Just an all-around great kid. He’s very mature for a 14-year-old, which blows me away. Sometimes I forget he’s 14.”

Kolomiyets, who moved to the United States from Ukraine when he was 1½, said he’s happiest when he has a tennis racket in his hand.

“I’m really happy right now where I’m at,” he said. “Lately, I’ve been improving really fast. Every time I step on the court I’ve been really happy. High school tennis is five days a week, two and a half hours a day, so I’m playing a lot of tennis and whenever I’m playing tennis, I’m happy.”

Cherniak said Kolomiyets suffered some growing pains in his first high school season when he faced the likes of Jackson’s Ben Mietzner and Jimmy Hua of Kamiak.

“For him, the goal is really to just experience high school tennis,” Cherniak said. “He’s a club player and because he’s 14, when he plays tournaments, the 17- and 18-year olds aren’t even in his league, so this is really his first time playing these seniors and juniors.

They just have more experience.

He knows this year is a growing year and after every match he takes notes. He really thinks it through. He knows that excellence isn’t accidental.”

Kolomiyets isn’t done growing this season. The Wesco 4A District tournament begins Tuesday at Mount Vernon High School and he has high hopes for his first trip to districts.

“I’ve been pretty happy with the way I’ve been playing lately so I’m pretty confident going into districts,” Kolomiyets said. “If I could make it to state, that’d be great.

That’s really the goal.”

Added Cherniak: “I think everyone’s got to watch out for him. This year he got his feet wet and he’s just developing his game.”

And now Kolomiyets is playing with a proper racket.

THE HERALD’S WEEKLY SPOTLIGHT ON HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETICS

IAN TERRY / THE HERALD

Team Pound’s Tom Gorney of Edmonds puts on an arm brace before a softball game last week at Meadowdale Playfields in Lynnwood.

Age is not an obstacle

Team Pound, a group of men in their late 50s and early 60s from in and around Snohomish County, won a division title at the 2014 Senior Softball-USA World Masters Championships.

YNNWOOD — As the years pass, waistlines grow and hairlines recede. For men in their 50s and beyond, these are the facts of life.

But for many men there is one thing that never changes, even as they age — the love of sport and the joy of competition. And as proof that games are not just for the young, a team of men in their late 50s and early 60s, all from in and around Snohomish County, headed to Las Vegas earlier this month for the 2014 Senior Softball-USA World Masters Championships.

Competing in the Men’s 55 and

over AAA Division, the squad known as Team Pound split two games during the seeding portion of the three-day tournament. But once the field of 37 teams was in brackets for a double-elimination format, Team Pound caught fire. Over two days the team went undefeated in six games by a combined score of 112-73, including a 20-11 victory over the R&R Strokers from Oxnard, California, in the championship game.

When the final out was recorded — a ground ball that first baseman James Lewis of Everett scooped and carried to the bag — Team Pound erupted in jubilant celebration. “You had a team of 60-year-olds jumping

RENTON — The Seattle Seahawks were taking a risk when they acquired Percy Harvin in a trade last year, no one knew that more than head coach Pete Carroll.

Because he recruited Harvin when the receiver was still a star at Landstown High School in Virginia Beach, Virginia, Carroll had a lot of background both with Seahawks may add fullback to roster, C4 Harvin’s talents, as well as the potential for trouble.

So when Carroll was asked Monday how long he had known that Harvin, who was traded to the New York Jets on Friday, could potentially be an issue for his team, the coach’s answer was very telling.

“I’ve known Percy since he was in high school,” Carroll said. “We recruited him in high school — didn’t get very close to getting him — but I’ve followed him for a long time.”

It’s possible that Carroll either misunderstood or misheard the question, but it certainly sounded like he was saying that he knew all along that bringing Harvin to Seattle was a risky proposition. Carroll said

around like 12-year-olds that’d just won the Little League World Series,” said Steve Goodrich, an IT specialist for the state’s Department of Corrections who lives in Snohomish. “It was nuts.”

“All heck broke loose,” said Tom Gorney of Lake Forest Park, who grew up in Everett and is a teacher in the Edmonds School District. “At the end of the game everybody was jumping around.

It’s something I won’t ever forget.”

“We were just giddy,” added Lew Dickert of Mill Creek, an elementary school principal in the Snohomish School District.

“It was a great moment.”

EVERETT — Two years ago it appeared Tyler Sandhu had a big future with the Everett Silvertips.

But now Sandhu’s future is with the Red Deer Rebels.

Everett and Sandhu parted ways Monday as the 18-year-old winger was traded to Red Deer in exchange for fourth-round picks in the 2015 and 2016 bantam drafts.

Sandhu played two-plus seasons for Everett, with the Richmond, B.C., native compiling 33 goals and 31 assists in 120 games.

“I was a little shocked at first,” Sandhu said about his reaction to the trade. “You take it in and it’s tough to think about the guys and the fans here, and about my billets and the coaches. But it’s starting to sink in now.”

There was a discrepancy on why the trade took place. Everett general manager Garry Davidson said Sandhu was dissatisfied with his role on the team and requested a trade, while Sandhu said he didn’t request a trade and that it came as a surprise.

Should Canadian Hockey League players be paid more?

That’s what a new class action lawsuit filed in Canada claims.

The Toronto Star reported Monday that a lawsuit has been filed against the Canadian Hockey League, of which the WHL is a member, seeking $180 million in unpaid wages for current and past players, claiming the CHL violates Canadian minimum wage laws.

Sam Berg, who played eight games with the Ontario Hockey League’s Niagra IceDogs in 2013-14, is named as the representative plaintiff in the claim, which was filed by Charney Lawyers of Toronto.

The CHL considers its players amateur student athletes and thus exempt from minimum-wage laws. Players sign an education contract in which they are provided free room and board in the form of billet families, a small monthly stipend, and one year of college fees paid for each season played in the league.

The lawsuit alleges the players should be considered employees, and as such should be subject to minimum wage laws. The lawsuit claims: “The average player spends 35-40 hours of his time each week on team business but earns

a fee of just $35 or $50. If the court decides that the players are employees, then the fee violates minimum wage legislation in every Province and State where the teams play hockey.”

The CHL responded with a press release in which it said its member leagues and teams “will vigorously defend ourselves against this action which will not only have a negative effect on hockey in Canada but through all sports in which amateur student athletes are involved.”

This is not the first time there’s been an attempt to address compensation for CHL players. Two years ago there was a failed attempt to unionize CHL players, where one of the issues addressed was the limits of the college scholarships, which expire if not used within two years or the player plays professionally. Last year the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries received a child safety complaint against the four Washington-based WHL teams with regards to the state’s minimum wage laws.

It also comes at a time when the NCAA is also grappling with lawsuits over compensation for its athletes, putting further in doubt what constitutes being an amateur athlete.

suspension for his checking-tothe-head major penalty against Portland’s Nicolas Petan on Oct. 11.

The league justified the suspension by saying the hit resulted in an injury and that Wardley was a repeat offender. … Spokane general manager Tim Speltz and captain Jason Fram apologized on behalf of the team for inappropriate comments made by players during the singing of the national anthem prior to the Chiefs’ Oct. 10 home game against Seattle. … Portland filled its third overage roster spot by acquiring goaltender Bolton Pouliot from Kamloops. Kamloops apparently didn’t receive anything in return, but filled its overage vacancy by claiming forward Logan McVeigh off waivers from Regina. … Swift Current released forward Andrew Johnson and defenseman Stephen Shmoorkoff at the overager deadline to get down to three 20-year-olds. … Prince Albert suspended overage forward Dakota Conroy after Conroy left the team. … Victoria defenseman Joe Hickets was named the WHL Player of the Week. The 18-year-old defenseman had one goal and six assists as the Royals went 3-1.

December, and he finished the season putting up just one goal and nine assists in his final 24 contests. He went unselected in June’s NHL draft.

This season Sandhu was relegated largely to fourth-line duty, and he had just one goal and no assists in Everett’s first nine games. “(The trade) had to do with us not satisfying Tyler Sandhu with his role,” Davidson said.

“He was struggling with where he fit in. I think, like most young guys, he was a little impatient and wanted things to happen overnight. He had a good season when he was 16, but last year he was so-so, and this year he started like he finished last year. He probably needs a new setting to see if he can get back on track.

“He expressed his concern before,” Davidson added. “We discussed it. Kevin (Constantine, Everett’s head coach) and the staff sat down with him and talked to him about it. In the end things continued in the same direction.”

Sandhu said he enjoyed his years in Everett.

“I thought they were good,” Sandhu said. “I had a good rookie year, that was exciting and a lot of fun. At times I did well in my second season and at times I thought I could be better. That’s part of hockey. I’ll

try to get it back to where I’m playing well all the time, and hopefully I’ll find that in Red Deer.”

Because he was traded to the Rebels, Sandhu has a chance to play in the Memorial Cup. Red Deer was awarded hosting rights to the 2016 Memorial Cup, and the Rebels receive an automatic berth to the Canadian Hockey League’s championship tournament as the host team. Sandhu will be a 19-year-old that season and could be a key part of building a competitive team, should he rediscover his form.

“That’s really exciting,” Sandhu said about the prospect of playing in the Memorial Cup. “When you’re little you see the guys at the Memorial Cup and it’s a dream to play in it. It’ll be a great experience and I’m excited to be a part of it.”

By trading Sandhu, Everett opens up more playing time for young wingers Gunnar Wegleitner and Nik Malenica.

Wegleitner, as a 16-year-old, is required to dress in 40 games, but he played in just two of Everett’s first nine games.

Malenica, who’s in his 17-yearold season, has yet to appear.

Sandhu was originally acquired by Everett in May of 2012 as part of the package the Tips received from the Portland Winterhawks in exchange for defenseman Seth Jones.

Sandhu, who was a secondround pick in the 2011 bantam draft by Portland, had a fantastic rookie season in 2012-13, notching 19 goals and 14 assists in 62 games. It was one of the most productive 16-year-old seasons in franchise history, and he was voted the Best 16-year-old in the Tri-City Herald’s Best of the West poll. He was expected to be an integral part of Everett’s offense in succeeding seasons.

However, Sandhu’s progress stalled last season. Injuries limited him to 49 games in 2013-14, during which he tallied 13 goals and 17 assists. He started the season well when playing on a line with thenoveragers Joshua Winquist and Manraj Hayer. But his production tailed off beginning in

U.S. advances in World Cup qualifying

By Joseph White Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The U.S. women’s soccer team completed Part I of its trip to the 2015 World Cup by doing the expected, dominating play Monday night in a 6-0 win over Haiti to finish unbeaten — and unscored upon — in group play in the CONCACAF championship.

Abby Wambach had two goals, and Carli Lloyd, Meghan Klingenberg, Christen Press and Morgan Brian also scored for the Americans, who advanced to the semifinals to be played Friday and Sunday at the Philadelphia Union’s stadium in Chester, Pennsylvania.

The top three teams qualify for next year’s World Cup in Canada, while the fourth-place team will face Ecuador in a playoff.

The loss eliminated Haiti, which had put together a valiant, low-funded qualifying effort while training in monthslong spurts in Indiana. The Haitians are 0-4 overall against the U.S., having lost 10-0 in 1991, 8-0 in 2004 and 5-0 in 2010.

The Americans are winning in a no-win situation, the

overwhelming favorite facing small countries where women’s soccer is a low priority. Canada, the other North American powerhouse, isn’t in the tournament because it automatically qualifies for the World Cup as the host nation.

So there was considerable concern when the U.S. managed only a 1-0 win over Trinidad and Tobago to open the tournament. That was followed by a more comfortable 5-0 rout of Guatemala. In each game — and again on Monday

— the Americans controlled the action against an underdog that packed its own box and hoped to somehow score on a counterattack.

The U.S. outshot the Haitians 20-1, including 12-0 in shots on goal. Ashlyn Harris, getting a rare start in place of Hope Solo, got the shutout without having to make a save — just as Solo did against Guatemala.

The biggest hiccup along the way has been the sprained ankle for forward Alex Morgan against Guatemala, ruling her out for the rest of the tournament.

Lloyd scored in the ninth minute, chesting down a punch-clearance by goalkeeper Geralda Saintilus and converting the half-volley. Wambach headed in a deflected cross in the 39th, and Klingenberg added her first U.S. team goal with a 25-yard drive in the 57th.

By then, the Americans had worn the Haitians down. Wambach’s second — and 173rd all-time — came in the 61st.

Christen Press made it 5-0 in the 65th, and Brian made it a half-dozen in the 82nd.

The U.S. improved to 25-1 alltime in World Cup qualifying.

The Americans are also unbeaten in 90 games (79-0-11) at home.

CPC-Bothell beats Murphy, stays unbeaten Herald Staff BOTHELL — In a highly contested volleyball match between two of the top three teams in the Cascade Conference, Cedar Park ChristianBothell remained undefeated with a 3-0 victory over Archbishop Murphy on Monday night. Set scores were 26-24, 25-21, 25-22.

“It was just back and forth,” Archbishop Murphy head coach Brandon Jones said. “Every set could have gone either way.”

Sam and Natalie Hayward combined for 23 kills and 21 digs and McKenna Palmer recorded 35 assists for the Wildcats.

GENNA MARTIN / THE HERALD

Cascade High School freshman Yevgeniy Kolomiyets hits a shot during a practice session on Monday.

Playing beyond his years At age 14, Yevgeniy Kolomiyets is Cascade High’s No. 1 tennis player Herald Writer

One person’s trash became Yevgeniy Kolomiyets’ treasure.

As a 7-year-old, Kolomiyets and his friend Max liked to dumpster dive at their Everett apartment complex. One day, Kolomiyets found a racquetball racket in the rubbish. After winning a tug-of-war with Max, he took his new-found possession home.

“After I got it, my dad would turn the TV on to a pro (tennis) match and I would just copy what they did,” Kolomiyets said.

By watching television, Kolomiyets learned from the best — including pro Novak Djokovic, his favorite player — even though he wasn’t getting a lot of court time.

“I didn’t actually play a lot of tennis. It was just literally swinging and copying the pros,” Kolomiyets said.

Seven years later, Kolomiyets is the No. 1 singles player for Cascade High school as a freshman. He finished the regular season 10-5 and is preparing for the opening of the district tennis meet on Tuesday.

And it all started with those

imitation swings in front of the TV. “I didn’t actually hit a ball until we found the Columbia Athletic Center (in Everett),” Kolomiyets said.

There, as a 7-year-old new to tennis, he began to work on his game, which features a strong serve and forehand. His arrival at Cascade coincided with the departure of former Cascade star Patrick Chung, who was the Bruins’ No. 1 singles player the past four seasons and now attends Gonzaga University.

“It’s a lot of pressure,” Cascade head coach Brian Cherniak said.

“Patrick Chung really owned that spot for quite a while. It’s like all of a sudden Patrick leaves and here’s this kid from nowhere that’s coming to Cascade and is able to take that spot.”

Cherniak, in his first year as the Bruins’ varsity coach, is in his seventh season as a coach at Cascade.

He said that having Kolomiyets is incredibly helpful because — despite the 14-year-old’s age — he’s like another coach on the court.

“He’s really bonded with these juniors and seniors on varsity — and he’s a leader,” Cherniak said.

“He’s a natural teacher as well, and that’s the cool thing. He’s able to teach. So these kids that are fouryear tennis players who are seniors, he’s like, ‘Let me help you with this.

Here’s what I see.’ And he does it in a way that is just really easy to understand. He’s just an excellent teacher, as well as a player. Just an all-around great kid. He’s very mature for a 14-year-old, which blows me away. Sometimes I forget he’s 14.”

Kolomiyets, who moved to the United States from Ukraine when he was 1½, said he’s happiest when he has a tennis racket in his hand.

“I’m really happy right now where I’m at,” he said. “Lately, I’ve been improving really fast. Every time I step on the court I’ve been really happy. High school tennis is five days a week, two and a half hours a day, so I’m playing a lot of tennis and whenever I’m playing tennis, I’m happy.”

Cherniak said Kolomiyets suffered some growing pains in his first high school season when he faced the likes of Jackson’s Ben Mietzner and Jimmy Hua of Kamiak.

“For him, the goal is really to just experience high school tennis,” Cherniak said. “He’s a club player and because he’s 14, when he plays tournaments, the 17- and 18-year olds aren’t even in his league, so this is really his first time playing these seniors and juniors.

They just have more experience.

He knows this year is a growing year and after every match he takes notes. He really thinks it through. He knows that excellence isn’t accidental.”

Kolomiyets isn’t done growing this season. The Wesco 4A District tournament begins Tuesday at Mount Vernon High School and he has high hopes for his first trip to districts.

“I’ve been pretty happy with the way I’ve been playing lately so I’m pretty confident going into districts,” Kolomiyets said. “If I could make it to state, that’d be great.

That’s really the goal.”

Added Cherniak: “I think everyone’s got to watch out for him. This year he got his feet wet and he’s just developing his game.”

And now Kolomiyets is playing with a proper racket.

Seahawks may look for fullback

From Page C1

Monday morning on his weekly radio show on 710 ESPN Seattle that he was disappointed Harvin’s tenure in Seattle didn’t work out, “because I told (general manager John Schneider) I’d get this done, I thought I could, when we made the decision.”

Harvin, of course, isn’t the first high-profile player with potential character red flags to play under Carroll in Seattle.

And some have worked out very well for the Seahawks, most notably running back Marshawn Lynch, while others haven’t, like former USC standout running back LenDale White or receiver Terrell Owens, who both had very brief stays in Seattle.

Carroll sees himself as a coach who can reach players and help them be their best, while also being flexible enough himself to understand that not all players can be handled the same. So for Carroll, the Harvin trade not working out felt like something of a failure. Carroll is one of the most optimistic people you’ll ever meet, so when he can’t make something work out the way he wants it to, it’s a letdown.

“For ever in my recruiting days, and being in the league, I’ve coached all kinds of different guys — and this isn’t going to surprise you — but I’ve always felt like it was going to work out, that I’m going to be able to figure out a way to make it work,” Carroll said. “With everybody that we decide to bring into this program, we do it for a specific reason with great consideration, and we have a plan, we have a vision for how it’s going to go, and we didn’t quite get there.”

Because the trade happened just before the team left for St. Louis on Friday, Carroll was in the odd position of having to announce it to his team while in transit.

Carroll said he went around the plane from player to player, and that “We had a really good talk about it. I talked with guys from across the board on our team. And I think it was pretty clear that it was accepted as the next thing we had to do and we did the right thing and on we go. It was a team decision.”

Carroll said his players were not upset about the trade, but acknowledged it was natural for some players to react in different ways to the news.

“I think they handled it really well,” he said. “They took it in stride, I think they trust our decision making; they’ve stood by us throughout. I don’t think there’s any fallout at all.

Obviously you’re human, you react, you have a response to it, but I don’t think anybody had any problem. Everybody was getting to the business of playing football, so I think it was fine.”

The Seahawks lost to the Rams on Sunday, but they also had one of their better halves of the season on offense, scoring on three long touchdown drives to nearly come back from an 18-point deficit.

Asked if that performance was most representative of what he wants the offense to be, Carroll said, “I think so, yeah. That’s why we’re encouraged by it. We saw the whole run mechanism work together.

Marshawn drew a lot of attention. Marshawn had a couple of runs called back that would have given him significant yardage in the game. His factor allowed (quarterback) Russell (Wilson) to get out a little bit on the edge. Then the third down situation in the second half, we were four out of five, it was very sharp, and that’s the way we like to look and much more in the direction we were hoping to go.”

Finally, at the end of the press conference, Carroll was asked about something reported by The Herald and many other news outlets Friday, which was that Harvin took himself out of the game against Dallas late in the fourth quarter. Carroll only responded, “He’s a Jet.” Harvin is indeed a Jet, because as much as Carroll thought he could make things work with an athlete he has known for years, Harvin, for all of his physical gifts, just wasn’t a fit in Seattle.

Washington quarterback Cyler Miles (10) fumbles the ball in Saturday’s game against Oregon.

Miles to start, if healthy Huskies’ quarterback Cyler Miles has “concussion-like symptoms” and will be monitored during the week.

By Christian Caple The News Tribune

SEATTLE — It will be a day-to-day kind of week for a handful of Washington Huskies football players who were banged up during UW’s 45-20 loss at Oregon on Saturday.

That list is headlined by starting quarterback Cyler Miles, who left the game and was tested for a concussion on the sideline. UW coach Chris Petersen said during his Monday press conference that Miles displayed “concussion-like symptoms,” and that he’ll be closely monitored throughout this week — but the plan is still for him to start this week against Arizona State (7:45 p.m. Saturday, ESPN).

“Plan is that,” Petersen said, “but like I said, we’ll take one day at a time with him.”

And, too, with starting tailback Dwayne Washington, who left the Oregon game with a chest injury.

“Dwayne was out there today (at practice) running around there with us,” Petersen said.

“Little bit sore, but we’re hopeful. I think we have a few guys that we’re hopeful for and it’ll be game-type decisions depending on (how they) come back tomorrow and the next day.”

Redshirt freshman tailback Lavon Coleman isn’t in that group. And that’s good news for the Huskies. Coleman left Saturday’s game with an apparent injury, but Petersen said “I think he’s better than a game

time decision. I think he’s feeling pretty good today.”

Petersen also said he’s not considering playing redshirt freshman Troy Williams, now the team’s backup quarterback, over Miles if Miles is healthy.

Williams relieved Miles against Oregon, completing 5-of-10 passes and rushing for 28 yards on five attempts, including a 7-yard touchdown run.

It was the most extensive action of Williams’ young career.

And Petersen thought he fared pretty well. But Miles is still, unequivocally, the Huskies’ starting quarterback.

“I don’t think we’ve got to that point yet,” Petersen said in response to a question about giving Williams a series or two.

“You start getting into the rotating quarterbacks and those types of things, and I don’t think any coach really loves to do that. But you do like to get those other guys some work.”

Of equal concern is the Huskies’ running game, which totaled just 133 yards on 36 carries against Oregon and for much of the season has failed to produce the way Petersen envisioned.

That’s particularly alarming considering four of UW’s five starters on the offensive line are in their fourth or fifth year in the program.

“Guys just have to play better.

That’s the bottom line,” Petersen said. “We’ve got to block better, give our backs a chance to get something done. Then when we do, we’d like our backs to

be able to get out and get loose a little bit. I think it hurt having Dwayne out of the mix, because he does get to the second level.

He’s got some pretty explosive speed, and that hurt us a little bit.

“I think when you play a team like Oregon you get exposed in some ways. You really do. You can really see where your issues are. You can see how you match up talent-wise. That’s what you want your team to look like talent-wise. And how did we match up? Some places we matched up pretty well, some places we didn’t. I think you can get exposed on your attention to detail. Because even if the talent’s not right, are you doing your technique and your assignments just right? And even if you’re getting whipped physically, hey, you shake their hand and move on.”

Extra points Washington’s Nov. 1 game at Colorado is scheduled for a 10 a.m.

Pacific Time kickoff, and will air on Pac-12 Networks. Petersen said “7:45 is more of an issue. We’re morning guys, so 10 a.m. shouldn’t be as much of a problem as the latelate. The later games are just hard waiting around all day long. That’s hard. I think everybody likes to get up, get ready, go play.” ... Petersen said senior receiver Kasen Williams, who has just six catches in seven games this season, might line up at slot receiver more. “We try to move him a little bit inside, maybe a little bit more as an inside slot receiver.

Try to get him the ball outside, tried to make the tough play. Those things happen. That’s a hard one. You guys ask that every week, and we do, too.”

PULLMAN — Washington State players addressed the media for the first time since the Stanford game on Monday and the consensus was that the players feel refreshed after a badly needed bye week.

“It’s good to recover, regroup and get ready for the next week coming up ahead against Arizona,” offensive tackle Cole Madison said. “It’s been good to recover from the ball game and get the team back on track.”

The time off can be detrimental to a team that’s trying to maintain its focus, and in 2012 head coach Mike Leach was unhappy with the way his team handled some time off during his inaugural season.

But he says the work his team put in during a lighter week this season is an example of how the

program has improved over the last two years.

“That first year it was a battle to get guys to work hard. These guys we have right now work hard. We don’t always get the results we want but we work hard towards it,” Leach said.

“We’ve got a lot of freshmen, sophomores and they learn it on the move but they’re trying to do the right thing and it’s meaningful to them and they’re more competitive people.”

The team spent more time in the cold tub than on the practice field last week, and much of each practice was devoted to working with young players that don’t see the field on Saturdays.

Pelluer to start The Cougars released a depth chart and the biggest change to the WSU starting lineups is the addition of redshirt freshman Peyton Pelluer at Mike linebacker in place of Darryl Monroe.

Monroe, a redshirt junior, has started every game of his playing career at WSU but has been somewhat limited in practice recently.

Pelluer, whose father, Scott played linebacker for WSU and in the NFL, has played in all seven games this season and has 17 tackles, including seven in WSU’s last game against Stanford.

USC start time announced The Pac-12 conference announced its kickoff times for the weekend of Nov. 1 and Washington State will be playing its earliest game of the season at 1:30 p.m. against USC in Martin Stadium.

It will be the second consecutive afternoon game for the Cougars, who play Arizona this Saturday at 3 p.m. after opening the season with seven consecutive night games.

When asked if the earlier start times changed anything about the team’s preparation Leach said, “Not really, it puts the periods a little closer together. I wasn’t aware we played at three (but) three is probably the perfect time to play, really.”

Texans lose third straight as Steelers rally to win 30-23 Associated Press PITTSBURGH — Ben Roethlisberger passed for two touchdowns and wide receiver Antonio Brown added another on a gadget play during a dizzying stretch late in the first half, helping the Pittsburgh Steelers rally for a 30-23 win over the mistake-prone Houston Texans

on Monday night.

Pittsburgh (4-3) needed just over a minute to turn a 10-point deficit into an 11-point lead as the Texans self-destructed while losing their third straight.

Roethlisberger finished with 265 yards passing. Le’Veon Bell racked up 145 yards of total offense and rookie wide receiver Martavis Bryant

caught a momentum-swinging touchdown pass in his first NFL start.

Arian Foster ran for 102 yards for Houston (3-4), but just 29 over the final three quarters.

Ryan Fitzpatrick was 21 of 32 for 262 yards with two touchdowns and an interception but the Texans were undone by three turnovers.

SEATTLE — The Seattle Seahawks went into Sunday’s game hoping to run the ball, so it was hardly ideal when fullback Derrick Coleman went down with a fractured foot in pregame warmups.

Running back Robert Turbin filled in for Coleman, but going forward the Seahawks will likely need to make a roster move, because Coleman is the only fullback on the roster, and he’s likely out at least six weeks, Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said.

One possibility that came up Monday was that of signing Michael Robinson, Seattle’s starting fullback for the past four seasons. Robinson is currently working as an analyst for the NFL Network.

When asked if Robinson could be an option at fullback, Carroll only said, “He’s doing a really good job in the media right now.

Quite busy, I’m really encouraged by his efforts. He seems to be very well-grooved at his business end of things.”

Other injuries Cornerback Tharold Simon, who left Sunday’s game in the second quarter with an ankle injury, has what Carroll described as a “light sprain,” and has a chance to get back this week. Carroll said cornerback Byron Maxwell, who injured his calf against Dallas, has a chance to play this week as well.

The Seahawks will also get cornerback Jeremy Lane back in practice this week, though because he is on short-term injured reserve, he can’t return to game action until Seattle’s Nov. 9 game vs. the New York Giants.

Asked about tight end Zach Miller (ankle) and center Max Unger (foot), Carroll said, “Max is working at it, we’ll see. Zach’s a little farther away.

Zach’s still in the boot right now, so he’s not that close yet, but we expect him to make a big jump once he gets to the next level of his rehab. Max is doing some stuff this week, we’ll see what happens as the week goes on.”

Tight end Luke Willson missed Sunday’s game with groin injury suffered in practice last week, but should be back this week according to Carroll, who said Willson should be back at practice no later than Thursday.

Defensive tackle Jordan Hill, who missed the game with an ankle injury, also should return to practice this week.

More blitzing on the way?

Carroll said his team has areas of its game to clean up, on defense in particular, and most notably, he singled out the Seahawks’ “inability to really disrupt the quarterback” as a factor in the defensive struggles.

The Seahawks aren’t suddenly going to add a bunch of pass-rushers midseason, so the fix could mean bringing more pressure. Carroll wouldn’t specify what he has in mind this week, but made it clear something would change.

“There’s some things we have to do that will change us a little bit from what we’ve been in the past, so we’ll make those moves,” he said. “But it’s pretty clear where our focus is, so we’re going to see if we can get right and play some good football and get going.”

Why no review?

Had officials stopped the game to review the recovery of a fumble near the end of Sunday’s game, there’s a good chance the Seahawks wouldn’t have gotten the ball upon review. The Rams were awarded the recovery on the field, and while Richard Sherman was on top of the ball at one point, there didn’t appear to be a camera shot with clear evidence he or anyone controlled the ball. Even so, Carroll didn’t understand why the officiating crew couldn’t be bothered to stop and take a look at such a critical play.

A day later, Carroll said he got a call from the league about that play, “to see if I had any questions about it.

“What I was concerned about, it was such a crucial moment in a game, and such an unusual situation, why wouldn’t they take all the time they needed to make a clear-cut decision?

They felt like from the looks that they had, that they wouldn’t be able to determine anything more than what was called. And they couldn’t say if it was right or wrong either because they couldn’t tell. They saw that the ball was underneath Sherm, he had it right there, but they didn’t feel like he had control of it from what they could see. They kind of agreed with the way it went. I just made the point that in really the decisive play in the game at the end of the game, why would you not take all of the time? That happens in the college game. They’ll stop the game and they’ll take a look and they’ll investigate further. But based on what they saw, they felt like they had concluded that they weren’t going to be able to help the situation any, so that’s why they did it. I hope it brings awareness to the situation, because at the last play of the game or something like that, what’s the rush?

Let’s figure it out.”

San Francisco stations ban Lorde’s ‘Royals’ during Series

By Lisa Gutierrez The Kansas City Star (MCT)

It’s a “Royal” rumble.

Two San Francisco radio stations have banned Lorde’s monster hit, “Royals,” during the World Series.

Stations 104.5 KFOG and 96.5 KOIT have pulled “Royals” from their lineups until after the series between the San Francisco Giants and Kansas City Royals.

In response, 99.7 The Point in Kansas City announced that it will play the song “on the hour, every hour, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesday.”

Giants fans requested the ban in their city.

“We’ve had several emails and social media comments stating that we should remove ‘Royals’

by Lorde until the San Francisco Giants win the World Series,” said a statement on the KOIT website.

Lorde was inspired to write the song after seeing a photo of former Kansas City star George Brett in the July 1976 issue of National Geographic.

In March, the New Zealand teen’s mother, Sonja Yelich, told The Kansas City Star that her daughter used to collect vintage National Geographics.

Brett sent the singer an autographed No. 5 jersey when she was in Kansas City in March.

Along with his signature he wrote: “Lorde, you are Royal to me.” She called it one of the coolest things she owns.

KOIT program director Brian Figula instituted the ban on his station on Friday, announcing: “Our listeners told us to do it, so we did it! As of 4 p.m. today we’ve removed LordeRoyals from ... our playlist until the end of the World Series. Go Giants, beat the Royals!”

In an announcement on its Facebook page, KFOG followed suit: “No offense, Lorde, but for the duration of the World Series, KFOG Radio will be a ‘Royals’-free zone.

We’re sure you understand.”

Before long, elation gave way to new emotions. “I was so choked up for the first couple of hours, I almost couldn’t talk,” Gorney said. “To win it with (longtime friends) ... I really had trouble talking for a couple of hours. It was very emotional.”

And he was not alone. When Goodrich called his wife with the good news, “my voice cracked (with emotion),” he said.

Softball is one of the most popular team sports for seniors, both men and women. Indeed, at the Las Vegas tournament there were two brackets for teams 80 and older, and even a three-team bracket for teams 85 and older.

There are special rules to accommodate aging bodies.

Some players have trouble making it to first base, let alone all the way around to home, so there is free substitution for pinch-runners.

Also, to avoid bone-jarring and perhaps career-ending collisions

Giants: CF Gregor Blanco (.260, 5 HRs, 38 RBI), 2B Joe Panik (.305, 1, 18), C Buster Posey (.311, 22, 89), 3B Pablo Sandoval (.279, 16, 73), RF Hunter Pence (.277, 20, 74), 1B Brandon Belt (.243, 12, 27), DH Michael Morse (.279, 16, 61), LF Travis Ishikawa (.252, 3, 18 with Pirates and Giants), SS Brandon Crawford (.246, 10, 69).

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

Projected rotations Giants: LH Madison Bumgarner (18-10, 2.98 ERA, 219 Ks, 217 1-3 IP), RH Jake Peavy (7-13, 3.73 with Boston and San Francisco), RH Tim Hudson (9-13, 3.57), RH Ryan Vogelsong (8-13, 4.00).

Royals: RH James Shields (14-8, 3.21, 227 IP, 180 Ks), RH Yordano Ventura (14-10, 3.20, 159 Ks), LH Jason Vargas (1110, 3.71, 128 Ks), RH Jeremy Guthrie (13-11, 4.13, 202 2-3 IP, 124 Ks).

Relievers Giants: RH Santiago Casilla (3-3, 1.70, 19/23 saves), RH Sergio Romo (6-4, 3.72, 23/28 saves), LH Jeremy Affeldt (4-2, 2.28), LH Javier Lopez (1-1, 3.11), RH Jean Machi (7-1, 2.58, 2 saves), RH Hunter Strickland (1-0, 0.00 in 9 games), RH Yusmeiro Petit (5-5, 3.69 in 39 games, 12 starts), RH Tim Lincecum (12-9, 4.74, 1 save in 33 games, 26 starts).

Royals: RH Greg Holland (1-3, 1.44, 46/48 saves), RH Wade Davis (9-2, 1.00), RH Kelvin Herrera (4-3, 1.41), LH Brandon Finnegan (0-1, 1.29 in 7 games), RH Jason Frasor (3-0, 1.53), LH Danny Duffy (9-12, 2.53 ERA, 113 Ks in 31 games, 25 starts), LH Tim Collins (0-3, 3.86 in 22 games).

Notable This marks the first World Series in a full season in which both teams won fewer than 90 games.

One of them will become the sixth wild card to win a championship.

The only other time both World Series participants were wild cards was 2002, when the Angels beat Barry Bonds and the Giants in seven games.

Watch for ...

Lights out late. Both teams rely on stingy bullpens, so runs could be hard to come by in the late innings. Holland has six saves and a 1.13 ERA

at the plate, a special base line veers off a few feet from the plate so runners and the catcher miss each other (every play at home is a force, not a tag play).

But the biggest difference might be preparation. Senior softballers not only need ample time to warm up, but also to don knee braces, compression wraps and the like. Also, many players use liniments, and most takes regular doses of ibuprofen, an anti-pain, anti-inflammatory medication that Goodrich calls “senior softball candy.”

Years ago, Gorney saw older players downing ibuprofen pills before games, “and I laughed at them. I said, ‘If I ever have to do that, shoot me.’ But now they’re the lifeblood of the whole senior softball circuit.”

Along with his shoes, mitt and other equipment, Matt Schunke of Mountlake Terrace, a truck driver and a 40-year softball player, totes an extra bag of pharmaceutical supplies to every Team Pound game and practice.

“I have everything you need in my bag,” he said with a grin.

A year from now, Team Pound

Kansas City’s Billy Butler waits to bat during the Royals’ practice Monday in Kansas City, Mo.

in eight postseason games.

Davis is 2-0 with a 0.96 ERA, and Herrera has a 1.08 mark in seven appearances. All three have struck out 10. San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy’s expert use of the bullpen has been the biggest reason for San Francisco’s remarkable October success. Affeldt has made 18 straight scoreless appearances in the postseason, Casilla 17 and Lopez 15.

Affeldt and Lopez have been particularly tough on lefthanded hitters, and Bochy will have to decide how to deploy them against Hosmer and Gordon, who have the dangerous Butler batting right-handed between them.

Big Game Bum. The 25-year-old Bumgarner has stepped forward as the staff ace. The NLCS MVP is 5-3 with a 2.67 ERA in 11 postseason games, matching Bob Gibson and Mike Mussina as the only pitchers with five straight postseason starts of at least seven innings with seven or fewer baserunners allowed. Bumgarner has thrown 15 scoreless innings in World Series play, winning both his starts while striking out 14 and yielding five total hits. He went eight innings in the NLCS clincher and gets the ball in Game 1 on regular rest.

Big Game James. Shields is the rare Royals player with World Series experience. He pitched 5 2/3 scoreless innings for Tampa Bay in a 2008 win over Philadelphia. Kansas City traded a bevy of top prospects, including outfielder Wil Myers, to the Rays to acquire Shields before the 2013 season. He went 1-0 with a 5.63 ERA in three playoff starts this month and is 3-4 with a 5.19

mark in nine career postseason outings.

Potent Panda. Sandoval has keyed San Francisco’s postseason offense since 2010, reaching base safely in a team-record 23 straight games.

Nicknamed Kung Fu Panda, he’s batting .375 with six homers and 14 RBI during that span.

That includes his three-homer performance in the 2012 World Series opener against Detroit on the way to MVP honors.

Managing expectations.

Looking for his third championship in five years, the understated Bochy is building a Hall of Fame resume. Over in the other dugout, Ned Yost was once fired by Milwaukee in the middle of a September playoff race, and some of his curious decisions have exasperated Royals fans. Yost made all the right moves against Baltimore in the ALCS, though, and now he’s the toast of the town. With both bullpens stacked and the benches often in play, this could become an interesting chess match.

Karma, baby. The Royals believe this is finally their time. They were counted out for much of the season, languishing below .500 on July 22. They were counted out again in the wild-card game before two late comebacks. Perhaps the same karma that won them Game 6 of the 1985 World Series — with help from the infamous Don Denkinger call — has reared its head for a franchise that was downtrodden for decades. But nobody during this decade has owned October like the Giants — every other year, at least.

expects to defend its title at the 2015 World Masters Championships, this one scheduled for Phoenix. In the meantime they will continue playing their

regular schedule of spring, summer and fall leagues, as they did last week on a balmy Thursday night at Lynnwood’s Meadowdale Playfields.

SEATTLE — Veteran righthander Chris Young, who resurrected his career this season with the Seattle Mariners, was selected Monday as the American League’s Comeback Player of the Year by The Sporting News.

“It means more than I can articulate now,” said Young, who battled shoulder injuries over much of the previous six seasons.

“I think we all understand how hard this game can be, and the challenges it presents.

“At times, it challenges us in ways we could never expect or know how to handle.”

Miami third baseman Casey McGehee was the National League recipient.

Young received 49 of the 112 votes cast by AL players. Detroit outfielder J.D. Martinez was second with 22, followed by Oakland pitcher Scott Kazmir (14) and New York shortstop Derek Jeter (11).

McGehee got 26 of the 64 NL votes. San Francisco pitcher Tim Hudson was second with 17, and Los Angeles outfielder Matt Kemp was third with 15.

Young is a pending free agent but has expressed interest in remaining with the Mariners, who have exclusive negotiating rights with him through the fifth day after the conclusion of the World Series.

General manager Jack Zduriencik previously identified the need to acquire a veteran starting pitcher, such as Young, as one of the Mariners’ off-season priorities.

“I would love to be back,” Young said. “This was the most fulfilling and gratifying season of my career. I love the people, the organization, the city, the ballpark, the fans. There’s nothing not to like.

“I would love to be part of finishing off what we’ve started. That being said, I understand that it’s a business, and it might not be in the best interest of the Mariners or vice versa.”

Young, 35, was 12-9 with a 3.65 ERA after missing much of 2013 while recovering from a third shoulder operation. He signed March 27 with the Mariners as a free agent after being released by Washington.

The Mariners pulled Young from their rotation late in the season after he went 0-3 in a fivestart stretch while allowing 19 runs in 181⁄3 innings.

Young is already working on an off-season conditioning program to guard against wearing down next season.

“I’m excited about being able to go right into training versus rehabbing,” he said. “There’s a big difference ... working on areas that need improvement overall — versus just having to concentrate on my arm or shoulder.”

Young is also a finalist for the same honor in The Players Choice Awards, which were established in 1992. That award is presented by the union and determined through a vote by players.

Major League Baseball began presenting its own comeback award in 2005.

Schunke said he loves softball so much, “I wish we could play it yearround.” And Goodrich expects to keep playing “until I can’t.”

Gorney, who had surgery for a torn biceps muscle on July 30 and hurried to rehab for the Las Vegas tournament, says the team “is kind of like a family for all of us. And for me the camaraderie is everything. Rather than sitting on the coach and watching TV, you get out and play softball with a group of guys, you banter back and forth, and it’s just a great time.”

“It keeps you sharp, it keeps you connected, and it’s just fun to hang out with the guys,” Dickert said. “And if you don’t have to (quit), why let it go?”

For this team, Dickert added, there will always be the memory of a special tournament in Las Vegas. And to help them remember, each player will receive a special championship ring, expected to arrive in a few weeks.

“We’d already been connected before this, but now we’ll all be connected forever around this experience,” he said. “It’s a shared moment and a pretty profound moment, and it’s one that all of us have.”
