ELECTION 2015

Candidates file this week There are a host of contests on the ballot, including for the County Council, county executive and six mayors.

By Noah Haglund Herald Writer

EVERETT — Democrat Brian Sullivan has walloped Republican opponents by 2-1 margins to

win two terms as a Snohomish County councilman.

Sullivan now faces a well-funded, well-connected challenger from within his own party.

That could make for a spirited

competition as he seeks a third term in the deep-blue council district that includes the Everett, Mukilteo and Tulalip areas.

Greg Tisdel, a civic-minded businessman, had raised more cash than any other candidate heading into filing week — no small feat for someone who’s never held elected office.

“What I’m hearing from the community is we need a change and we deserve better,” Tisdel said.

Tisdel said he’s running to stop the political infighting and to apply his business know-how to county government.

EVERETT — The city of Everett has submitted a 50-year plan to regulators to harvest timber around Lake Chaplain.

The area, part of city-owned watershed about three miles north of Sultan, could be home to two bird species listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act: the northern spotted owl and the marbled murrelet.

The plan is part of a safe harbor agreement with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and a cooperative habitat enhancement agreement with the state Department of Natural Resources.

It’s a trade-off, with provisions designed to bolster habitat of those species and to prevent logging on part of the tract while allowing logging on the remainder without concern that the city could be sanctioned if it inadvertently affects threatened species.

“We give something up in order to get greater surety that future restrictions won’t become far more onerous,” said John McClellan, Everett’s operations superintendent for public works utilities.

“It doesn’t change drastically what we do in terms of how we manage our forest today,” McClellan said.

Everett owns 3,729 acres around Lake Chaplain, which is one of the sources of the city’s drinking water. About 3,000 acres of the tract is forested.

The city’s primary concern, McClellan said, is maintaining the area as a source of drinking water.

However, when economic conditions are favorable, the city has cut timber for commercial sale, usually 10 to 20 acres at a time, he said.

The application to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the state Department of Natural Resources has triggered a mandatory 30-day comment period before regulators can issue permits.

Community paramedic Shane Cooper talks with Julia Williams, 72, at her home in Edmonds on April 30. Williams and her mother were frequent 911 callers and Cooper has been monitoring them for the past year. He helped Williams find a new place to live and get her mother into an assisted living home. Since assigning Cooper to monitor the medically vulnerable and frequent 911 callers, Fire District 1 has seen a 37 percent drop in emergency calls for those people.

Harvest From Page A1

Safe harbor agreements are a relatively new way to manage forests in Washington.

So far, only timber companies Port Blakely and SDS Lumber Co. have entered into them, and Everett is the first municipality to do so.

Under terms of the proposed agreement, 1,066 acres of the Lake Chaplain tract, or about one third of the city’s ownership there, will be set aside and protected for 50 years.

That acreage includes the types of forest believed to be most likely to support spotted owl and marbled murrelet nesting or foraging, either

Sullivan said he’s eager to continue his long history of public service, which has spanned most of his adult life.

The candidates hold opposing views on commercial air service at Paine Field, which Sullivan is against and Tisdel supports. Tisdel criticizes the testy atmosphere among the county’s elected leaders that at times has overshadowed the budget and other substantive issues.

“It needs to get more polite up here,” Sullivan said last week. “I think we’re headed in that direction.”

The official candidate filing period runs Monday through Friday this week. More candidates could enter the race. Other political contests this year include re-election bids by County Executive

now or in the future, as well as steep slopes, wetlands and other sensitive areas.

The agreement also outlines a management plan for the rest of the acreage, including using felled trees for snags, reforestation of cut areas, harvest rotations of at least 60 years (compared to the industry average of 45 years) and plans for road maintenance and abandonment in the area.

The trade-off for those restrictions is an assurance that the city won’t be penalized if the logging activity harms murrelet or owl populations.

“This particular forest, they are surrounded by DNR lands, and there are murrelets east of them, so they want the assurances that they can do their forest management for 50 years

John Lovick and County Councilwoman Stephanie Wright, neither of whom had drawn challenger by Friday. A host of independently elected county officials will be on the ballot as well. Mayors are up for re-election in Arlington, Darrington, Edmonds, Lake Stevens, Marysville and Sultan.

The primary election is Aug. 4.

Sullivan and Tisdel are competing for a fouryear term in the council’s District 2. The job pays $111,000 per year.

If Sullivan wins, term limits would bar him from seeking the seat again in four years.

The 57-year-old said he’s run for office a dozen times — and lost only once, in the 1999 county treasurer’s race. He has served on the Mukilteo City Council, as Mukilteo’s mayor and later in the state House of Representatives. He has worked for three county executives and for former U.S. Rep. Al Swift, D-Wash.

Public comment The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is seeking public comment on the proposed safe harbor agreement with the city of Everett. The comment period runs through June 4.

Documents can be viewed online at fws.gov/wafwo/everett_sha.html.

Comments can be emailed to WFWOComments@fws.gov, with “Everett draft SHA” in the subject line, or mailed to Mark Ostwald, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Washington Fish and Wildlife Office, 510 Desmond Drive SE, Suite 102, Lacey, WA 98503.

operations. It only requires the city to minimize impacts on murrelets or owls if it later becomes aware of them.

Blake Murden, the director of wildlife and fisheries for Port Blakely Tree Farms, said the company has had a positive experience so far with its own safe harbor agreement for about 45,000 acres in Lewis County. Port Blakely signed its agreement in 2009, the first in the state.

Port Blakely’s 60-year agreement sets aside about 10 percent of the total acreage, which might be expanded over the years, and includes other habitat measures similar to Everett’s when it comes to murrelets and owls.

“Over the course of that time our intent is to have a net conservation benefit

for those target species,” Murden said.

The Lewis County tract is expected to become a stepping stone for murrelets and owls between the Gifford Pinchot and Mount Baker-Snoqualmie national forests, Murden said.

“It’s just become part of our overall forest management plan,” he said.

While there are obvious benefits of safe harbor agreements in the short term, the test will be over the long term.

“The spotted owl is in a pretty severe decline in Washington, as is the marbled murrelet,” Ostwald said. “It takes many years to see habitat improvements in these cases.”

from both parties long have sought his financial support and advice.

He’s served on unglamorous commissions and advisory boards to guide government decisions on health care, higher education and transportation.

Tisdel, like Sullivan, lives in Everett and grew up in Snohomish County. He’s 60.

The bulk of Tisdel’s work life has revolved around Tiz’s Doors, a family business that his father started and that he took over in 1993. It closed in 2011.

Tisdel gave up a job as special adviser with Economic Alliance Snohomish County before starting his campaign.

He’s critical of how the county has handled the $162 million project to build a courthouse in downtown Everett, especially the failure to communicate with city leaders about providing enough parking.

Tisdel has slammed Sullivan for saying in November that “it’s not my job” to balance the budget. Sullivan later said he regretted making the statement and that balancing the budget is his job.

There’s no hesitation on Sullivan’s part in reeling off nuts-and-bolts government issues in need of attention. He said he’s determined to put the courthouse project on a solid foundation and to make sure the county supports Snohomish Health District programs for atrisk groups.

Sullivan’s re-election campaign reported raising

$30,500 by late last week, much of it from home builders, unions and lobbyists. That’s not quite half of Tisdel’s $62,000. Prominent Snohomish County business families, including the Lanes and the Skotdals, have been big backers of Tisdel.

“We’ve supported Brian in the past and I consider Brian a friend,” said Tom Lane, president of the Dwayne Lane car dealerships. “But when you have someone of Greg’s caliber who’s willing to do that job, you get excited about it.”

Sullivan has the official endorsement from the Snohomish County Democrats and questions Tisdel’s party credentials.

“I’m being challenged by a Democrat who isn’t even being supported by Democrats, outside of a few individuals,” he said.

“Typically, it’s rare that Democrats cannibalize other Democrats.”

A campaign-finance database shows that $8,200 of the $11,350 Tisdel has donated to federal campaigns has gone toward Republican committees and candidates. The rest went to Democratic U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen.

On the state level, Tisdel’s record is bipartisan.

He supported Democrat Gary Locke’s successful runs for governor in 1996 and 2000, but later made donations to the ill-fated campaigns of Republicans Dino Rossi and Rob McKenna. He gave $500 to the Washington State Republican Party in 2005.

“I’ve got a history of working with all parties to get things done,” said Tisdel, who says he’s a committed Democrat.

The top two vote-getters from August’s primary will advance to the Nov. 3 general election.

“I chose EvCC.” — Susan Ringstad Emery, Fine Artist

Susan Emery began pursuing an arts degree at EvCC after turning down a lucrative art project for which she felt unprepared. She determined then and there never to turn down another opportunity in the arts. Her persistence paid off in spades. “Daytime, evening, online, and summer classes—I’ve done them all!” she says. “The arts programs at EvCC had a real-world focus and courses tailored to teach the skills I needed for a fine art career.” Susan was selected as one of the few artists endorsed by the Seattle Ethnic Heritage Artist Roster and her art has been featured in a gallery show at Grand Central Station in New York City. She’s currently working on a solo art show in downtown Seattle for Spring 2016 and plans to write and illustrate her own children’s book featuring Alaska Native themes. “I like to say that you don’t choose art; it chooses you,” she observes. “You will know it by your ever-present passion for making art.”

Girl killed by train was Murphy star athlete

By Amy Nile and David Krueger Herald Writers

SNOHOMISH — The Snohomish girl who was killed by a freight train near Arlington on Saturday was a popular senior and accomplished athlete at Archbishop Murphy High School in Everett.

Kristi Bartz, 17, excelled at

running and had signed to compete in track and cross country at the University of British Columbia next year. She also played soccer.

Friend Cole Brandt told Daily Herald news partner KIRO-TV that hundreds attended a prayer service at the school Sunday.

“She was such an energetic spirit,” Brandt said.

“Kristi is a hard worker, a driven athlete and as competitive as they come,” Archbishop track coach Paul Turner said before her death.

At her last track meet, on Thursday, Bartz won the 1,600-meter dash with a time of 5:18.82. She was also a member of the 1,600meter relay team, which won that race.

Bartz in March was named as one of the Herald’s of five athletes to watch for prep track and field.

She placed second in the 800 at last year’s 2A state track meet, finishing fractions of a second behind the winner. She holds the Archbishop Murphy record in high jump and ran a variety of distances, from the 400 to the 1,600.

Turner called Bartz an “amazing athlete.” He and Bartz had been hoping for a state championship this season.

Bartz also was part of the 2014 Cascade Conference soccer team.

She was a midfielder.

Lake Stevens High School senior Henry Blankenship, who wants to be a firefighter, is a fire explorer for District 4 in Snohomish. He also helped in the aftermath of the Oso mudslide.

By Rikki King Herald Writer

LAKE STEVENS — Henry McRae Blankenship, 18, is a senior and a lifeguard at Lake Stevens High School.

Question: How is senior year going?

Answer: It’s going pretty well.

So far I got accepted into the college I wanted, so I’ve just been focused on keeping my grades up and graduating.

Q: Which college?

A: University of Alaska Fairbanks. They have a really good student firefighter program.

Q: You come from a fire service family?

A: Yes, I do. From a really, really young age, it’s just made me want to be a firefighter. I’ve never wanted to do anything else. I’ve spent a lot of time at my dad’s fire station since I was really little. I still do.

Q: You volunteered after the Oso mudslide?

A: I had recently graduated from a Community Emergency Response Team class. I called my director ... he said they could use all the help they could get ... I put some shovels and rain boots in the back of my car and drove up

there. My first task was evacuating the surrounding homes and (moving) livestock. Then I was sent to do some light searchand-rescue, nothing I wasn’t trained for. After that, I was the Arlington fire chief’s aide in the command center ... then I was staffing Oso’s fire engine until about 2 or 3 in the morning.

Q: Are you a volunteer firefighter anywhere now?

A: I’m a fire explorer right now for District 4, that’s Snohomish.

Q: Do you have your eye on any specialty units, such as hazardous materials or technical rescue?

A: It all really interests me.

My goal, my dream, is after college to work for the Seattle Fire Department on a truck company.

Q: What are your academic strengths or weaknesses?

A: It used to be a struggle for me to do homework. I would get everything done in class and I would pass all my tests but I would get home and decide there were more fun things to do, but for the past three years or so, I’ve definitely turned that around and made sure I tried to See SUPER, Page A8

Sno-Isle bringing TEDx event to Edmonds

By Sharon Salyer Herald Writer

front porch

EDMONDS — Sno-Isle Libraries has announced plans for a TEDx event this fall at the Edmonds Center for the Arts.

The theme of the event, scheduled for Nov. 6, is “Creating New Futures.” The goal is to bring together “thought-provoking ideas and speakers,” said Ken Harvey, a Sno-Isle spokesman.

Participants will include scientists, performers, artists and innovators, he said.

“We’re guaranteeing that

people will be intrigued and challenged and will make some new mental and interpersonal connections that otherwise they would never have made.”

The topics, and who will speak on them, are still being discussed by an advisory group with representatives from nonprofits, government agencies, business and industry, education and health care, Harvey said.

Examples of some of the wideranging ideas being considered for the event are how privacy is affected when there are cameras everywhere, from smartphones

Transfer station to close for repairs Snohomish County is closing the Southwest Recycling and Transfer Station in Mountlake Terrace for repairs Saturday and Sunday.

The recycling area will remain open on those days from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The facility is scheduled to return to normal operations

to those worn by law enforcement officers and surveillance cameras posted along city streets, and how high-capacity transportation will transform the region.

The local event is based on the weeklong national TED events held twice a year to bring together leaders in technology, entertainment and design. On its website, the weeklong event is described as “the ultimate brain spa.”

The national events are pricey to attend. Harvey said the TEDx event in Edmonds will be free.

May 18.

During the closure, garbage and yard waste will not be accepted at the Mountlake Terrace transfer station.

Customers may use Snohomish County’s transfer stations in Everett or in Arlington.

Andreas Tsircou lives in the neighborhood of 112th Street SE and Seventh Avenue SE in Everett. “I have been dealing with an inconvenience with that intersection,” Tsircou wrote.

There is no right-turn arrow on the traffic signal for drivers on westbound 112th Street wanting to turn north on Seventh Avenue, even though there is no oncoming traffic to deal with because it’s a T-intersection. Instead, while traffic is turning from Seventh Avenue to 112th Street, the light remains red. Sure, you can come to a full stop and then turn. But ...

“It would be a perfect time to have a right-turn arrow,” Tsircou said. “Are there any plans for the city of Everett to add a turn signal to that intersection?”

There are now.

City traffic engineer Timothy Miller said Everett makes decisions on where to install right-turn signals where two conditions are met: dedicated right-turn lanes exist, and there are sufficient right-turning volumes.

“At the intersection of 112th and Seventh, both conditions are met. We anticipate adding a westbound right-turn signal indication within a year,” Miller said.

Public Works spokesperson Marla Carter gave Tsircou kudos for bringing the opportunity to the city’s attention. “We appreciate ideas and questions from the public, especially when it highlights a need that we can address,” Carter said.

“Wow,” Tsircou said, “maybe I should ask for more?”

The former road information resources were described as nondescript and difficult for commuters to recollect, and will

slowly be phased out.

When the train had stopped, a crewmember who is a volunteer firefighter tried to give Bartz CPR, according to BNSF Railway spokesman Gus Melonas. The boy who had jumped assisted.

The train was en route to Vancouver, British Columbia, from Portland. After the girl was struck, the tracks were shut down until

BNSF could confirm the safety of the bridge. Three trains were delayed. Normal operations resumed at about 7 p.m.

Melonas said people should stay off railroad tracks because it is dangerous and illegal. This was the ninth death on BNSF tracks in Washington this year, he said.

“This is a very tragic

situation,” Melonas said.

In 2014 and 2013 combined, there were more than 30 Washington fatalities on BNSF tracks.

Melonas said BNSF is going to aggressively issue citations for trespassing in an effort to prevent accidents.

The fine is a minimum of $550.

“We don’t want anyone to get hurt,” he said.

Seattle man struck, killed on I-5 Herald staff EVERETT— A Seattle man, 55, was struck and killed while he was standing in a lane of traffic on I-5 early Sunday.

George Dlouhy was hit by a Toyota Corolla traveling southbound around 2:41 a.m. in Everett, the Washington State Patrol said. Two other cars hit

him as he was lying in the road. He died at the scene.

The driver of the Corolla, an Everett man, 26, was injured but released at the scene. His passengers a man, 23, and a girl, 17, both of Bothell, were not hurt.

The other drivers, a Lynnwood man, 65, and a Bothell woman, 38, were not injured.

The two passengers in the Bothell woman’s car were also not hurt. They were both women from Bothell.

The accident blocked all southbound lanes until about 7 a.m. Troopers are investigating. As of Sunday afternoon it was unknown why the man had been standing in the road.

W

hat’s one of the best ways to make people aware of your business? Be in the news, of course. That’s why The Daily Herald receives so many press releases from different organizations highlighting the special services and features that they offer.

But what if your press release isn’t selected by a newsroom? Or perhaps you don’t have anything new to share but you still want the readers to know you are there?

If your business is in the field of health and wellness, the Herald’s Healthy Living for Mind Body and Soul feature page may be just what you’re looking for. Each week, the story on this full-color page is dedicated to one of the select

businesses that advertise on it.

Interested businesses simply commit to purchasing seven ads that will appear on the Healthy Living page and, as a courtesy for advertising with us, your business will be featured in one of the Healthy Living stories sometime during that seven-week cycle.

This news-type story is a win-win for both readers and advertisers. Readers can find stories about the health and wellness services that are available to them locally. Advertisers are able to reach their niche audience with an article featuring what they want the readers to know about their company and what they have to offer.

Want a straight forward business profile that highlights your company’s

products or services? Or, perhaps, you want to let the readers know about a way they can stay healthy or safe with your company’s help.

An experienced journalist will use your ideas to create an informational article that meets your needs, yet appeals to both the serious news reader and the casual browser.

A professional photographer will also be sent to your location to capture a full-color photograph to complement the story.

The Healthy Living feature story appears alongside the two-column, full-color Healthy Living ads. Because all of the advertisers on the Healthy Living page are targeting a similar audience, this cooperative group of similar topic ads has high potential for

catching the eye of your future customer.

Healthy Living advertisers come from all parts of the health and wellness industry. Clinics use the Healthy Living page to introduce new physicians to the community or to highlight certain specialties or introduce new technologies.

Medical professionals can discuss alternative or lesser known treatments for common health issues. For example, did you know that acupuncture is used to treat the flu or that many people with sleep apnea don’t even know they have it?

Many Healthy Living readers didn’t know these things either until one of our advertisers mentioned it in an article.

Have you ever wondered about how Botox works

and why it is so important to get Botox treatments from a medical professional?

Healthy Living advertisers have discussed products like Botox and how it is perfectly safe in the right hands. They also use their article to warn readers about the latest internet misinformation that could put a person’s health at risk.

Retirement communities have used their Healthy Living article to explain the difference between active retirement living and assisted living.

Memory care communities list the services they feature to help full-time residents, day clients and their loved ones.

It’s a wide range of topics yet all in a similar vein and it reaches 332,878 Herald readers weekly.

environment. Nonsurgical procedures are performed at the Lumina clinic, 4310 Colby Ave., Suite 101 in Everett.

Nonsurgical techniques designed to fight the signs of aging include the injection of Botox and other fillers into specific trouble spots to reduce wrinkles. Injections are touted as ideal for men and women who desire a noninvasive treatment with quick results.

Cara Ford, RN nurse injector, brings three years of injecting experience to the table. Patients who schedule with Cara for the first time during the month of May will enjoy new-patient specials such as, $10 per unit for Botox, with no minimum and a $50 off your choice of filler. She will be taking new patients on Thursdays and Fridays, so please call the office to schedule an appointment. mas Cari Damianidis, master aesthetician, has been in the industry since 1993 and continues to provide her expertise at Lumina.

Patients are able to utilize an array of cosmetic and skin care products, as well as skin care treatments to combat acne, rosacea, wrinkles, dark spots and unwanted hair. Available treatments include laser hair removal, intense pulse light photofacials, chemical peels and laser resurfacing.

One such option is Lumina’s newest addition, the Exilis Protégé Elite

laser. Dr. Ashbach chose to add the laser after discussing many other options with his wife, a practicing dermatologist in Seattle.

The Protégé can be used all summer, Damianidis said, because it is safe for nearly everyone. It utilizes radio frequency and thermal energy to gently stimulate collagen and reduce wrinkles. There typically aren’t adverse reactions such as redness or sensitivity, making it easier to resume normal life schedules immediately after treatments. Even those with sun-kissed skin are able to enjoy results without fear of pain or embarrassing redness.

Town mourns slain officers

By Rebecca Santana

Bush says he would have gone into Iraq

By Karen Tumulty The Washington Post

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush would have authorized the 2003 invasion of Iraq, as his brother and then-president George W. Bush did, he told Fox News’ Megyn Kelly in an interview to be aired Monday.

“I would have — authorized the invasion— and so would have Hillary Clinton, just to remind everybody. And so would almost everybody that was confronted with the intelligence they got,” the likely 2016 presidential contender said.

As a senator from New York, Clinton voted in favor of the invasion — a decision she has since said was wrong.

The mistakes, Bush argued, were in the decisions made in the aftermath: “Once we invaded and took out Saddam Hussein, we didn’t focus on security first.”

He said George W. Bush agrees that this was a blunder, “so just for the news flash to the world, if they’re trying to find places where there’s big space between me and my brother, this might not be one of those.”

The former Florida governor’s comments came just days after he told a private gathering that his brother was his most influential adviser of U.S.-Israel policy. “If you want to know who I listen to for advice, it’s him,” Jeb Bush said, according to four people who were present at the session with financiers in New York.

Iraq is tricky territory for the younger Bush. Polls consistently show that a vast majority now believe that the war, which lasted from 2003 to 2011 and cost nearly 4,500 American lives, was not worth it. It remains the most controversial element of George W. Bush’s legacy.

Their father, former President George H.W. Bush, also went to war in Iraq, in 1991. But that engagement lasted only months.

Severe weather casts a wide net South Dakota was the center of weather extremes Sunday, with a tornado damaging a small town and injuring at least nine people on the eastern side of the state and more than a foot of snow blanketing the Black Hills to the west. Parts of several Great Plains and Midwest states were in the path of severe weather, including North Texas, where the National Weather Service said a likely tornado damaged roofs and trees near Denton and torrential rain caused flash flooding. At the same time, a tropical storm came ashore in the Carolinas, and wintry weather affected parts of Colorado. Tropical Storm Ana made landfall near Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, on Sunday morning and was downgraded to a tropical depression

by Sunday afternoon. The storm’s maximum sustained winds were at 35 mph, and it was expected to move over eastern North Carolina on Sunday night.

Associated Press

HATTIESBURG, Miss. — One was a decorated “Officer of the Year.” The other was a proud recent graduate of the academy who had wanted to be a policeman since he was a boy.

A routine traffic stop led to their shooting deaths Saturday night — the first Hattiesburg police officers to die in the line of duty in more than 30 years — and four people were arrested, including two who were charged with capital murder.

The deaths of Officers Benjamin Deen and Liquori Tate stunned this small city in southern Mississippi.

Officer On Sun- Benjamin Deen day morning, bloodstains still marked the street where the two were shot, and a steady stream of people visited the site to Officer leave flowers Liquori Tate or balloons.

their unwavering service to protect and serve,” Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant said in a statement. “May God keep them all in the hollow of his hand.”

Marvin Banks, 29, and Joanie Calloway, 22, were each charged with two counts of capital murder, said Warren Strain, a spokesman for the Mississippi Department of Public Safety. Banks also was charged with one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm and with grand theft for fleeing in the police cruiser

after the shooting, Strain said.

“He absconded with a Hattiesburg police cruiser. He didn’t get very far, three or four blocks and then he ditched that vehicle,” Strain said.

Banks’ 26-year-old brother, Curtis Banks, was charged with two counts of accessory after the fact of capital murder.

The fourth person, 28-yearold Cornelius Clark, was arrested and charged with obstruction of justice, he added.

All four are expected to make

A preliminary investigation indicated Deen had pulled over the vehicle on suspicion of speeding and then called for backup, which is when Tate arrived. Strain said it was too early to say who shot the officers or how many shots were fired.

A New York nuclear power plant remained offline Sunday after a transformer fire created another problem: thousands of gallons of oil leaking into the Hudson River, officials said. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said emergency crews were out on the water near Buchanan trying to contain and clean up transformer fluid that leaked from Indian Point 3. “There’s no doubt that oil was discharged into the Hudson River,” Cuomo said. “Exactly how much, we don’t know.”

It could be weeks before Indian Point 3 is reopened again, said a spokesman for Entergy Corp., the plant owner.

Dane County District Attorney Ismael Ozanne had promised to give the public advance notice of the announcement in the case of Madison Officer Matt Kenny, who shot Tony Robinson, 19, in an apartment March 6. Ozanne issued a brief statement Sunday saying he would make his findings public Tuesday. Police have said Kenny was responding to reports that Robinson had assaulted two people and was running in traffic. Investigators said Robinson attacked Kenny but other details haven’t been released.

AROUND THE WORLD

By Frances D’Emilio Associated Press

VATICAN CITY — Cuban President Raul Castro paid a call Sunday on Pope Francis at the Vatican to thank him for working for Cuban-U.S. detente — and said he was so impressed by the pontiff he is considering a return to the Catholic church’s fold.

“Bienvenido (welcome)!”

Francis said in his native Spanish, welcoming Castro to his studio near the Vatican public audience hall. The Cuban president, bowing his head, gripped Francis’ hand with both of his, and the two men began private talks. The meeting lasted nearly an hour, as the Argentine-born Francis and Castro spoke in Spanish.

Francis will visit Cuba in September en route to the United States.

After leaving the Vatican, Castro, the brother of Fidel, the revolutionary leader who brought the Communists to power in Cuba, gushed with praise for Francis.

The pontiff “is a Jesuit, and I, in some way, am too,” Castro said at a news conference.

“I always studied at Jesuit schools.” ‘’When the pope goes to Cuba in September, I promise to go to all his Masses, and with satisfaction,” Castro said at a news conference at the office of Italian Premier Matteo Renzi, whom he met with after the Vatican talks.

“I read all the speeches of the pope, his commentaries, and if the pope continues this way, I will go back to praying and go back to the church, and I’m not joking,” he said.

It was a startling assertion for the leader of a Communist country, whose crackdown on dissidents in the past had drawn sharp Vatican criticism.

“I am from the Cuban

Pope Francis talks with Cuban President Raul Castro during a private audience at the Vatican on Sunday. Castro has been welcomed at the Vatican by Pope Francis, who played a key role in the breakthrough between Washington and Havana aimed at restoring U.S.-Cuban diplomatic ties.

Communist Party, that doesn’t allow (religious) believers, but now we are allowing it, it’s an important step,” Castro said.

Speaking about Francis, Castro said he has been ‘’very impressed by his wisdom, his modesty, and all his virtues that we know he has.”

Castro had already publicly thanked Francis for helping to bring Havana and Washington closer together after decades of U.S. government policy of strict isolation of the Communist-ruled Caribbean island. On Sunday, he stepped up his praise on Francis’ push for the two nations to put enmity aside and work for reconciliation for the benefit of Americans and Cubans.

As he took his leave from the Vatican, Castro told journalists, “I thanked the pope for what he did.”

Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, said the president also “laid out to the pope the sentiments of the Cuban people in the wait and preparation for his upcoming visit to the island in September.”

After his meeting with Renzi, Castro expressed hope that his country would quickly see more fruits of the thaw between Cuba and the United States. “Maybe the (U.S.)

Senate will take us off the list of terrorist nations” soon, Castro told reporters.

Francis gave Castro a medal depicting St. Martin of Tours, known for caring for the destitute.

“With his mantle he covers the poor,” Francis told Castro, saying more efforts on behalf of the poor are needed.

Fidel Castro met with Pope John Paul II at the Vatican in 1996. That encounter helped pave the way for John Paul’s 1998 pilgrimage to Cuba, the first visit by a pontiff to the island. John Paul was also eager for Cuba to grant more visas for foreign priests to bolster the dwindling corps of clergy on the island.

The Vatican’s general policy of opposing economic sanctions as a foreign policy tool carries appeal for Cuban leaders and people, after decades under a U.S. economic embargo. With the Vatican keen on protecting the interests of its Catholic followers under Cuban Communist rule, Pope Benedict XVI also visited the island.

Castro told reporters that ‘’we are trying to carry forward improvements of our political, social and cultural system. But it’s very difficult to do it without causing shocks, without leaving some in the street.”

An armed group battling Macedonian police over the weekend aimed to destabilize the country by attacking state buildings and public areas, the prime minister said Sunday. The attacks left at least 22 people dead, a top official said. Interior Ministry spokesman Ivo Kotevski, who gave the death toll, called the attackers in the northern town of Kumanovo “terrorists.” He said police were still searching for other bodies but did not believe anyone from the armed group was still at large. The 40 plus-strong group was targeting state institutions, sports events and shopping malls and was made up of well-trained fighters who had participated in attacks in the region and the Middle East, Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski told reporters in the capital of Skopje.

Belarus: China trade deals Chinese President Xi Jinping traveled Sunday to Belarus for a three-day trip to sign deals worth billions of dollars as China looks to build greater inroads into Europe’s economy. Xi said Sunday that Belarus could become a key hub for China’s much-vaunted Silk Road vision — a project to bridge Europe and Asia through a series of transportation and energy links. Chinese officials estimated the total value of the deals at $15.7 billion.

Poland: Runoff May 24 Opposition candidate Andrzej Duda made a strong showing Sunday in the first round of Poland’s presidential election, apparently forcing a runoff with incumbent Bronislaw Komorowski who faces a tough re-election campaign, according to exit poll results. Duda, who is no fan of the European Union, was predicted to receive 34.5 percent of the vote to Komorowski’s 33.1 percent, according to the IPSOS exit poll released by the private TVN24 and the state-run PAP news agency. The results mean that Komorowski is in “gigantic trouble and must fight very hard to survive” in the May 24 runoff, said political analyst Antoni Dudek.

A success years in the making Phil Bannan Sr., The Herald Business Journal’s Entrepreneur of the Year, leads Scuttlebutt Brewing Co. in Everett.

By Jennifer Sasseen The Herald Business Journal

Scuttlebutt Brewing Co. owner Phil Bannan Sr., The Herald Business Journal’s Entrepreneur of the Year, is a man known for his capability at the helm.

He’s been a Port of Everett commissioner as well as executive director of the Port of Everett.

He was also executive director of the city of Everett under former Mayor Ed Hansen.

“Phil has a reputation of being bright, having common sense and being very ethical,” said Jim Langus, who was Everett’s top administrator, in charge of dayto-day operations, when Bannan worked for Hansen.

Raised in Los Angeles, Bannan first came to Everett in 1967 to work for Western Gear Corp., a heavy-machinery manufacturer started by his grandfather and employing some 3,000 people across the country. The job took him to several cities in 10 years, but he and his family finally settled in Everett in 1977.

Western Gear, which built the turntable on which the Space Needle restaurant revolves for the 1962 Seattle World’s Fair, was later sold to a Midwestern company. Its former site on the Everett waterfront is now part of Naval Station Everett.

These days Bannan, 75, owns a microbrewery near downtown Everett and a restaurant on the waterfront. He and his wife have four grown children: Maggie, twins Judy and Janet, and son, Phil Jr., who manages the restaurant.

His father is a very smart man and a good sounding board, Phil Jr. said.

Car dealership owner Dwayne Lane, a regular at the restaurant, said he has a lot of respect for Bannan.

“He’s a self-starter, he’s loyal and he has vision,” Lane said.

Add to that a willingness to do whatever needs to be done — whether it be sweeping the floor or hefting beer kegs — as well as a propensity to think things through before taking action, and it’s clear Bannan is the right guy for Entrepreneur of the Year, he said.

“I just think he’s as good as you’ve got in Everett,” Lane said.

Others agreed, including Port

of Everett attorney Brad Cattle.

Said Cattle, “He’s contributed significantly to the community through his public service, and he’s built a great family business.”

That family business, which today employs about 75 people, started with a home-brewing kit Bannan’s wife bought him in 1990.

“I’d seen an article about home brewing, and I said, ‘Hey, that looks like fun,’” Bannan said. “And I guess my wife picked up on that.”

She’s the “Scuttlebutt” of the enterprise. Born to a Navy family in Norfolk, Virginia, Cynthia Bannan’s father gave her the nickname because her impending birth had been the scuttlebutt, or gossip, of the base. After begging him to stop when she turned 13, he dropped the “butt” and she’s been “Scuttle” ever since.

Mostly, she feels honored the company bears her old nickname, she said, though she doesn’t take it too seriously.

“Phil just ran out of ideas,” she said, laughing. “Everybody else had animals or mountains.”

Back to that home-brewing kit.

Turns out, the beer he was able to make from it was pretty good, Bannan said.

Coupled with the fact that craft breweries seemed to be popping up everywhere, it got Bannan to thinking about starting his own microbrewery.

“They were growing at a phenomenal rate,” he said, “and it was the right time in our lives to make a change.”

His wife, now 71, was right there with him.

“I told Phil he wasn’t getting any younger,” she said, “and ‘if you’re going to do it, you’d better do it now.’ ” Plans for a microbrewery changed course when it was discovered that zoning laws didn’t jibe with a brewery at the favored site on West Marine View Drive in Everett.

“The zoning code wouldn’t allow a brewery,” Bannan said, “but it’s OK to have a restaurant.

And it’s OK for a restaurant to have a brewery in the back room.”

And so the Scuttlebutt restaurant was born along with the brewery.

Phil Jr., who was just out of college and helped with actual construction of the restaurant

MARK MULLIGAN / THE HERALD

Phil Bannan Sr., who started Scuttlebutt Brewing in the 1990s, is now watching the company undergoing a major expansion. Beer production could grow to 24,000 barrels a year.

— completed by Gaffney Construction in 1996 — said his parents worked 14-hour days to get the restaurant up and running.

His oldest sister, Maggie, and her husband, Pat Doud — Scuttlebutt’s first brewer — also put in long hours.

On July 4, 1996, Scuttlebutt brewed its first beer, taking Bannan from the five-gallon buckets of his home-brewing days to a 620-gallon — 20 barrel — tank system. The system included two 20-barrel fermenters and one 20-barrel bright tank, a tank used to clarify, mature and carbonate beer, as well as to store it.

That first year Scuttlebutt Brewing Co. brewed three styles of beer and sold 170 barrels. Today the company brews more than 20 styles of beer a year and in 2014, sold 7,635 barrels, shipping to at least 18 states and four countries: Canada, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan.

International shipping is what helps make Scuttlebutt Brewing one of the leaders in the craft beer industry, said Eric Radovich, executive director of the Washington Beer Commission, based in Shoreline.

“It’s one of the few craft breweries that even ships internationally, which I think is very entrepreneurial of them,” he said.

From four simple ingredients:

water, hops, yeast and grain — mostly malted barley, but sometimes wheat — Scuttlebutt’s brewers, led by head brewer and 15-year Scuttlebutt veteran Matt Stromberg, create variations of the refreshing elixir Bannan never ceases to enjoy.

“Beer has always been my favorite beverage,” he said.

The brewery is profitable now, he said, but the restaurant turned out to be a good decision, as it carried the business in the early years.

He said his wife is just as much a part of the business as he is, and that credit for its success should be shared with family, friends and many others.

“We’ve had some really good, loyal employees,” he said. “And then, our loyal customers, who drink in our restaurant and buy our beer.”

Regardless, Phil Jr. said his father is the driving force behind Scuttlebutt.

“I think I would agree, it’s definitely a big team effort,” he said, “but he’s definitely the tip of the spearhead and we all follow him.”

Head brewer Stromberg attributes Scuttlebutt’s success to Bannan’s “frugal” business sense and his steerage toward slow but steady growth.

“It’s a wonderful thing,” he said of Bannan’s award, adding,

“He does deserve the credit, and Scuttle, too.”

The company has expanded several times since the restaurant first opened its doors nearly 19 years ago.

In 2007, the brewery moved to a larger location at 1320 Cedar St., near downtown Everett, more than tripling its space and allowing the restaurant to also expand.

Then in 2011, the restaurant more than doubled its size when it moved to the Port of Everett’s new Waterfront Center on Craftsman Way. Once more the brewery is in the process of expanding, into space formerly occupied by a tenant at the brewery property on Cedar Street. Separated from the brewery by a concrete-block wall, the space will be largely rebuilt before the wall is knocked out to join the two properties, Bannan said.

The expansion will add about 5,300 square feet to the 7,500-square-foot brewery and mean the addition of at least two employees to the six-member brewery staff, he said. Production could increase to 24,000 barrels of beer a year.

As for Bannan, he said he’s still having fun in the business and has no plans to retire.

“I never want to,” he said. “A guy has to have something to do when he gets up in the morning.”

Merger called good fit for Coastal, Prime Pacific banks

By Jim Davis The Herald Business Journal

biz bits

It’s the latest in a long line of mergers of community banks.

Coastal Community Bank in Everett and Prime Pacific Bank of Lynnwood and announced in April that they intend to combine, pending regulatory and shareholder approval.

The deal makes sense for the banks on a lot of levels, said Eric Sprink, Coastal’s CEO and president, and Glenn Deutsch, CEO and of Prime Pacific.

“Our core values are the same,” Deutsch said. “We both understand what relationships are and we both understand the small business person is really the economic wheel that keeps things turning.”

The combined bank will have $704 million in assets and 15 branches after Coastal opens

a Marysville branch later this summer.

For customers, the combined bank, which will retain the Coastal name, will have higher caps on the amount it can loan to businesses. The banks have no overlap, so the new entity isn’t expected to close any branches.

And the new bank will have new resources to handle today’s banking challenges.

“Prime Pacific and Coastal, we’re both healthy banks, but we need some size and scale to be able to fulfill the obligations of being a bank in today’s society,” Sprink said.

One of those challenges is navigating new federal financial regulations enacted after the recession.

Dealing with financial regulations wasn’t a driving force behind the proposed merger, but it was a factor, Sprink said.

People United Way of Snohomish County has hired Jacqui Campbell as director of marketing and communications.

Campbell is the former senior marketing manager of The Daily Herald. Campbell has over 12 years of experience in sales, advertising, account management

The financial regulations were passed because of the failings of mega banks, he said.

But nearly all of the new regulations affect smaller banks like Coastal and Prime Pacific.

“All banks continue to feel the burden of a lot of regulation, and we’re only about halfway through the rulemaking process,” Sprink said.

This is the largest merger of banks with branches heavily centered in Snohomish County since Heritage merged with Whidbey Island Bank last year.

Expect more bank mergers to happen, said Mark MacDonald, president and CEO of Community Bankers of Washington, a group that represents independent community banks in the state.

“Certainly mergers are going to happen, because there are good fits between organizations, and

I think that’s the case between Coastal and Prime Pacific,” MacDonald said.

Smaller banks are devoting between 2½ to 3½ full-time employees to make sure they’re in compliance with the new rules, MacDonald said.

“When you’re a small bank, that becomes very painful, to have that many resources dedicated to compliance,” MacDonald said.

MacDonald was part of a contingent of community bankers headed to Washington, D.C., in late April to press lawmakers about the very issue.

“When people talk about banks, they tend to think about the Wall Street banks, not the Main Street banks, the ones up on Colby,” MacDonald said. “It’s our goal to get politicians to understand the difference between Main Street and Wall Street

banks.”

In his opinion, regulation should be tiered, based on the size of a bank and the complexity of banking, MacDonald said.

And there should be multiple layers, with banks with $50 million in assets regulated far differently than banks with $20 billion or more in assets.

He said there’s value in community and regional banks because those institutions are often the ones that will take chances on new or struggling small businesses.

If lawmakers don’t support tiered regulation, MacDonald said, there will be fewer community banks in the future.

“I believe the big banks would love regulatory relief,” MacDonald said. “But I don’t believe they would support tiered regulation, because they would love to see the small banks disappear.”

IN OUR VIEW | Gun background check lawsuit

I-594’s foes fail to show harm You can’t challenge the constitutionality of a law that hasn’t harmed you. Or in other words: No harm, no foul.

That was the ruling of U.S. District Judge Benjamin Settle in Tacoma, who last week threw out a challenge to I-594, which passed with 59 percent approval in November. The initiative extended the state’s existing background check law to create a universal requirement for all sales, including online sales and gun shows as well as gifts and transfers of firearms.

The plaintiffs, including Alan Gottlieb of the Second Amendment Foundation, had no standing to file suit, Settle ruled, because none of them had been prosecuted for violating the law nor were they at immediate risk of prosecution.

Gottlieb and others in challenging I-594 had criticized

the law’s provisions as being “so vague that a person of ordinary intelligence cannot understand their scope.”

There is a list of exemptions to the background check requirement, including gifts between family members, including cousins, or transfer to a gunsmith for service or repair. But foes of the law faulted I-594 for not being specific about whether an unmarried couple or a FedEx worker who transports a package containing a gun might be arrested. But the intent of the law should be clear enough — even to those of us with ordinary intelligence — that it wouldn’t take but the slightest exercise of logic to see that neither FedEx workers nor unmarried couples need fear arrest or prosecution.

Perhaps the best example that most gun owners aren’t

likely to risk arrest was a demonstration staged on the Capitol grounds in Olympia shortly after the law’s passage where protestors handed their firearms back and forth in full view of law enforcement. Public protests are not a specific exemption, yet no arrests were made.

Gottlieb seemed disappointed no one was hauled off that day, the Associated Press reported last week, quoting him: “The state has gotten away with this because they haven’t prosecuted anybody. Why do we have a law on the books that nobody is prosecuting?”

Bob Calkins, a spokesman for the Washington State Patrol explained: Law enforcement isn’t likely to go after violations directly, but will go after violations of the background check law as officers investigate the

history of weapons used in other crimes. Sell a gun without a background check to a felon, who then uses it in a crime, then you can expect to be prosecuted.

And beyond prosecution, the reason we have laws on the books is to help everyone understand where the lines are drawn and what is expected. A majority of voters determined it was reasonable to ask those wishing to obtain a firearm to submit to the relatively minor inconvenience of getting a background check, because doing so would increase public safety by making obtaining a firearm more difficult for felons and others prohibited from owning one.

We expect Gottlieb and others to appeal or to sue on different grounds, but if these are their best arguments, I-594 should stand.

GUEST COMMENTARY | City of Edmonds union talks

New councilman should recuse himself

By Jami Lund

L

ast month, the Edmonds City Council filled a vacant position on the council, selecting Michael Nelson, a resident of the Westgate neighborhood.

All who serve in public office bring their own experience, biases and agendas. Our state is built on the populist principle of citizen leaders and the belief that their diverse interests add value to the decision making process.

Nelson, however, brings a set of interests that put the city in a real predicament, and which potentially harm the interests of citizens.

As the executive director of the Washington State Council of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), Nelson has a financial interest in the dues collection and success of the SEIU.

SEIU local 925 is the union that represents the interests of the city’s clerical, professional and technical employees. The mission of the union through bargaining, grievances and other advocacy is to make certain that employees’ compensation increases, workload decreases and job security is high.

This creates a profound conflict of interest for a man who makes a living paid in part by the union dues of city employees.

Citizens, taxpayers and those receiving services from the city have an interest in an outstanding team of employees, but they also want the cost of government to be fair and reasonable. They want accountability for employees’ work or misdeeds. They do not want to be overcharged for services above the market rate.

As elected officials, the city

council is supposed to give voice to those interests, and they are responsible for making the most effective use of taxpayers’ funds.

Edmonds is not a profiteering organization, and every dollar saved can be used to broaden the range of services the community receives.

Currently, the City Council of Edmonds is negotiating a new union contract with SEIU 925.

So who does Councilman Nelson represent when he helps guide the bargaining strategy and votes on the final agreement? Does he represent his employer who collects money from city employees to accomplish their financial and job security objectives or does he represent the citizens who seek effective use of tax funds and government accountability?

As a member of the council,

Editorial Board Josh O’Connor, Publisher Jon Bauer, Editorial Page Editor Neal Pattison, Executive Editor Carol MacPherson, Editorial Writer

can he relate the city’s bargaining position to his employer, the SEIU, who represents the other side of the bargaining table? When his campaign for election this fall begins, will employees’ dues money be used to secure his election on the council? Who does he represent if that happens?

Citizens of Edmonds and the city itself should ask Councilman Nelson to recuse himself from the entire collective bargaining process because of his conflict of interest.

Voters should also consider the wisdom of electing a city leader who is in a position to sacrifice citizens’ interests to those of the union.

Too bad speech we defend isn’t more worthy

T

he recent spectacle of Pamela Geller, the erstwhile journalist who organized a provocative Prophet Muhammad cartoon-drawing contest in Texas, gives pause to even the most passionate defenders of the First Amendment.

Not since Westboro Baptist Church’s “God Hates Fags” mesKATHLEEN PARKER sage — and Florida’s Quran-burning pastor Terry Jones — has the principle of free speech been so sullied and abused.

Waging a one-woman crusade against the Muslim world, Geller says she wanted to draw a line in the sand and demonstrate to terrorists that when it comes to free speech, America bows to no one. OK, we get your point. It’s an American point, actually.

And Geller’s contribution to these protections and our unwavering dedication to its preservation are, exactly, what?

A taunt. Shouldn’t one at least aspire to some originality? It’s been done. And each time, the result is the same. You haul out a picture of Muhammad; “they” haul out a fatwa. Cat puts out cheese; mouse gets eaten. What does one expect?

Indeed, two would-be terrorists presented themselves at the exhibit and were quickly dispatched to their just rewards.

Well, that’s two down, I suppose.

This is certainly the way Geller thinks, as her comments confirm. She has declined to apologize for instigating this unnecessary clash — remember when we preferred to take the fight to the terrorists over there? She even claims to have saved lives by luring two terrorists to their deaths.

Geller baited the field, in other words.

As an operating principle, mightn’t we try less incendiary means of problemsolving? I don’t know, maybe something less likely to lead to violence?

But Geller is a media creature and knows how to bait a media field as well.

Make noise and the media will come.

Draw a crowd and the cameras will roll.

Become the “victim” of a fatwa and, voila, you’re on TV. Geller got exactly what she wanted: her very own fatwa. You’re nobody in this town until you’ve been fatwa-ed. Pray that no harm comes to her, I hasten to say.

I take a back seat to no one when it comes to defending free speech — even that of the worst sorts. We let neo-Nazis and the Ku Klux Klan march and protest because the true test of free speech is that unpopular speech is tolerated.

That said, we needn’t embrace or celebrate people like Geller, who intentionally try to provoke a confrontation. She’s welcome to sponsor a cartoon contest, but we don’t have to attend. If Geller wants to stand on street corners and shout her views, no one has to listen.

Sometimes the messenger really is the problem. And oftentimes, the medium is, too.

It is more or less consistently true that First Amendment warriors are forced to defend not only undesirable sorts but also really bad art. When a Danish cartoonist was forced into hiding following an earlier Prophet-cartoon challenge, I raced to the front lines in his defense. But I was painfully aware that most of the cartoons were amateurish and witless.

A good cartoon isn’t just a drawing but offers layers of meaning that illuminate in subtly humorous ways. The best ones are often wordless and artfully combine more than one thought or event. This seems rarely the case with Prophet caricatures.

Perhaps this is because the driving force behind such drawings lacks the wryness required of the dispassionate disposal of one’s target. Sometimes an arched brow is more devastating than an arched bow.

The same, regrettably, can be said of Charlie Hebdo, if we can intellectually separate the horror of what happened to the magazine’s staff in Paris in January from the work that provoked the savage attack. Not all satire is equal.

Even so, the protection of free speech isn’t only for the genius mind but for all equally. And though it takes little talent to draw attention to oneself these days, it is sad when someone flaunts America’s first principle as an accessory to ambition or violence.

Our Founding Fathers didn’t bequeath only freedom of religion and expression from government tyranny but also the freedom to think as the enlightened progeny of some of history’s most creative, inventive and philosophical minds.

It is easy to imagine their disappointment at the character of today’s debate.

Paramedic From Page A1

Jeremiah is on Cooper’s list. They visit by phone or in person once a week and Jeremiah’s family also checks on him often.

On any given day, Cooper is in contact with 10 people with medical or mental health issues, sometimes both. They either are frequent 911 callers or were referred to him by his fellow Snohomish County Fire District 1 paramedics. On his immediate list are 53 names, but he’s monitoring more than 200 during the course of a month.

He’ll visit three to five of people a day, assessing how they are doing while trying to help them connect with social agencies and medical help. It’s a modern-day twist on Benjamin Franklin’s saying: “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”

And it seems to be working.

An independent study of the first year shows promising results. The number of 911 calls and emergency room visits dropped significantly among the people on Cooper’s case load.

“This is a program that is doing good and making a difference,” said Robin Fenn, who is research manager for Snohomish County Human Services.

Fenn conducted the study, following 72 patients.

During the six months before Cooper started working with them,

A: I’ve been a varsity swimmer the past two years. My best friend was a swimmer when I was a sophomore ... he ended up convincing me to try out for the team the next year. I did and for some reason, I did really well. At the end of that year, I won the Wesco North 4A breaststroke championship and got a varsity letter.

medics were called to their homes 268 times.

In the six months after Cooper intervened, there were 169 emergency contacts. That’s a 37 percent drop.

More than two-thirds used emergency medical services less often.

Half made fewer emergency room visits.

The Verdant Health Commission, an offshoot of the Snohomish County Public Hospital District No. 2, found merit in the fire district’s vision. It’s providing $144,426 annually over two years to get the program off the ground.

Fenn said it became apparent to her that the entire program was built on many levels of trust beginning with Verdant’s investment.

The one-year evaluation shows the community paramedic concept is effective, said George Kosovich, Verdant’s assistant superintendent.

“I think it is a clear success,” Kosovich said.

“You are keeping people out of the hospital and these are pretty high-need folks. I think that makes their reduction even more impressive.”

Dr. Richard Campbell is medical director for Fire District 1. He said the community paramedic idea has exceeded expectations. At the same time, it has pointed out unmet medical need.

Q: Have you had an adult in your life whom you’ve really looked up to?

A: That’d be my great aunt Joy Hunt. She’s just always told me to do the right thing and never to lie to people.

She just taught me how to be a good person.

Q: What made you decide to go to college?

A: I personally feel that a degree in emergency management will make me more desirable for hiring in the future or for promotion, and give me skills to help people and keep myself safe.

SCHOOL WINNERS Frank Wagner teacher named district’s best Rachel Sullivan, kindergarten teacher at Frank Wagner Elementary School, was selected as the Monroe School District’s 2015 Teacher of the Year. The MonroeSultan Masonic Lodge sponsors the annual award.

Many of Sullivan’s students started school not knowing any letter sounds or being able to count past 10. With her help, they ended the year at grade level, reading words and simple sentences, and adding and subtracting simple math problems.

“Kindergartners are insightful and eager to learn. I’m tired at the end of every day but I am amused and in awe of their rapid rate of growth,” Sullivan said.

Sullivan also helped at the district level to align report cards and teacher training to new state standards.

Tasty lesson in bread, giving Students in the Edmonds School District recently teamed with King Arthur Flour for a hands-on baking project that ultimately benefited the Lynnwood Food Bank.

Students at seven schools in the district participated in the Learn Bake Share program.

King Arthur representatives led assemblies at Seaview, Lynndale and Edmonds elementary schools in late March, demonstrating how to make braided bread, pizza dough, cinnamon rolls and more. Students in fourth, fifth and sixth grades were then sent home with kits to make two loaves of bread at home, one to eat and one to donate.

The company also provided materials for a similar program in Meadowdale, EdmondsWoodway, Mountlake Terrace and Lynnwood high school

Give chores to kids — and don’t pay them

DAILY CROSSWORD

A

major U.S. newspaper recently ran a piece detailing all the ways children benefit from doing chores. Well, not all the ways. They failed to mention the most important benefit: Chores, properly managed, teach citizenship values.

“Properly managed” means children are not compensated monetarily for doing chores.

Another parenting pundit once disagreed with me on that issue, pointing out that adults are paid for the work they do. That’s true, but apples are not watermelons.

First, working adults are trading labor for certain standards of living. Those adults then provide children with their standards of living. The money earned by adults is not an entitlement. The support those adults provide children is an entitlement. The two situations cannot be logically equated. From this perspective, chores are a child’s means of acknowledging that he is on an otherwise free ride.

Second, when a child is paid for doing chores, said child is likely to reason that if he does not need any money during a given week, there is no reason for him to do that week’s chores.

Can you say “pulling teeth”?

Third, adults are paid for working at banks, factories, and stores, but they are not paid for

JOHN ROSEMOND LIVING WITH CHILDREN doing work in and around their own homes. Can someone please give me a logical, rational reason why a child should be paid for clearing the table after supper when his mother was not paid for cooking it? You can’t, so don’t waste your time.

Democracies cannot survive when citizens have no need to perform uncompensated service, as in when big government provides everything. Since we are still a democracy, however tenuously, it is vital that children be taught proper citizenship values.

And as your great-grandmother probably said, “Good citizenship begins at home.” During his 1961 Inaugural Address, President John F. Kennedy succinctly defined proper American citizenship: “Ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country.” The strength of a democracy depends on service. Likewise,

CLASSIC PEANUTS

the strength of a family is greatly enhanced when everyone pitches in to do what needs to be done to maintain a clean, comfortable, organized environment.

My experience with my kids is that chores are a source of legitimate pride. They also prevent the development of a generally ungrateful (i.e. entitled) attitude.

Contribution also assists children in “bonding” to the values of the family. Fundamentally, it teaches what “family” really means.

The ideal time to begin assigning chores to a child is shortly after the third birthday. If you’ve ever lived with a 3-year-old, then you know threes want to help when their parents are doing housework. Capitalize on that!

Give the young child his or her own chores to do. Responsibilities define roles, so provide your child with a functional role in your family.

What’s that? Because your kids are involved in so many outside activities, they don’t have time to do chores? Then the activities need to be trimmed so there is time for chores. Let’s face it, the overwhelming majority of the activities they’re in will be irrelevant to anything they do as adults, whereas chores provide lifelong benefits. The operative word is priorities.

Dear Abby: Many years ago you published a “Do Not Call” number for unsolicited phone calls.

It worked great for a long time. I’m now starting to receive a lot of these calls again.

I am elderly (88), arthritic, and I struggle getting out of my chair to answer the phone because I think it’s a family member or friend calling. Do you still have that number? I think a lot of people would like to have it. — Carrie In Quincy, Mass.

Dear Carrie: The toll-free number is 888-382-1222.

If, after your number has been in the National Registry for three months, you continue to receive calls, you can file a formal complaint using the same toll-free number. This will stop most — but not all — telemarketing calls.

Unfortunately, calls from political organizations, charities, telephone surveyors and some organizations with which you already have a relationship are still permitted.

Dear Abby: My daughter is having a baby. Her baby shower is being given by one of her close friends. I made it clear that I did not want to know the gender of the baby before the birth, that I’m content to enjoy the suspense. I did not attend the “reveal” party that was held several months ago.

When my shower invitation arrived, it was pink and began with “It’s A Girl!” Isn’t it rude to ignore another person’s feelings even if you think they are silly?

I won’t say anything about this to my daughter because I want her to enjoy her party, but maybe this will help others who would prefer waiting for the surprise. Am I wrong to have expected my invitation to RIP HAYWIRE

— Granny-To-Be Dear Granny-To-Be: Yes, I think you are wrong. In this day of sonograms and gender-reveal parties, you are in the minority with your preference to be kept in the dark.

Dear Abby: My longtime 91-year-old friend is healthy but suffers from dementia. Her frequent fearful thoughts are centered around (imaginary) intruders who lurk somewhere upstairs or in the garage and are robbing her.

I try to tell her this is only in her mind, that they are not real, to no avail. What else can I say or do? Her son comes three times a week to clean her house and cook good meals for her, but he doesn’t live there. — Concerned Friend Out West Dear Concerned Friend: Talk to her son and find out whether he knows what she has been telling you. If he has removed anything from his mother’s house, he should remind her. If he hasn’t — and nothing is missing — then his mother’s doctor should be made aware that she is anxious and fearful and may be having hallucinations, because there may be a medication that can calm her.

P.S. It couldn’t hurt to check the attic for critters.

A good declarer may be a pessimist (he caters to bad splits) or an optimist (he must assume the cards lie well). In today’s deal, South tried to sign off at two hearts but had to play at three after North’s undisciplined raise. West cashed three diamonds and shifted to a spade.

If you’ve seen the full deal, you know the winning play. It is also the correct play in theory. To have a chance, South must assume West has the king of trumps and a finesse will win. But West didn’t open the bidding and has shown six points in diamonds, so South can’t place him with the ace of spades as well as another king.

South should be an optimist and play the jack of spades. If East has the queen and West the ace, South may go down two but probably could never have made the contract.

TELEVISION

Monday’s highlights on TV include: Here’s a real special delivery: The baby is on the way in the Season 1 finale of “Jane the Virgin,” as our accidentally inseminated title character (Gina Rodriguez) finally goes into labor. 9 p.m., The CW. In the Season 7 finale of “Castle,” a death occurs in the woods, and our main man (Nathan Fillion) becomes obsessed with the case because it reminds him of a terrifying event from his childhood. 10 p.m., ABC.

Luke and Laura, the couple everybody was talking about in November 1981. Anthony Geary, who plays Luke, says he’s leaving “General Hospital.”

Rhimes expands empire at ABC Megaproducer Shonda Rhimes, the woman responsible for “Grey’s Anatomy” and other hit shows, is increasing her real estate on ABC. The network said it has agreed to make “The Catch,” a new series by Rhimes about a fraud investigator who is about to be defrauded herself by her fiance.

The drama will star Mirelle Enos, who played Sarah Linden in the ABC series “The Killing.”

Rhimes is already responsible for ABC’s entire Thursday night lineup of “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Scandal” and “How to Get Away With Murder.” Each of those series has been renewed.

The broadcast networks are finalizing plans for next season in advance of presenting their lineups to advertisers next week in New York.

Associated Press

Craig T. Nelson and the cast of “Parenthood” accept the fan favorite award at the revent TV Land Awards. NBC is turning to some proven players for next year’s schedule, bringing back Craig T. Nelson as “Coach” again, resurrecting its “Heroes” franchise, and turning to veteran producer Dick Wolf for a medical drama based in Chicago.

NBC planning 14 new shows NBC is turning to some proven players for next year’s schedule, resurrecting its “Heroes” franchise, bringing back Craig T. Nelson as “Coach” and turning to veteran producer Dick Wolf for a medical drama based in Chicago.

The network is also trying the interesting experiment of airing the sitcom “Undateable” live each week. It’s NBC’s only returning comedy. Favorites “The Voice” and “The Blacklist” will be back in the same time slots.

NBC on Sunday became the first of the major broadcast networks to release their schedule for next season. NBC and Fox present their schedule to advertisers on Monday.

WHAT’S NEW: Fourteen new series, including six comedies, seven dramas and one variety show.

Given the year-round nature of TV schedules now, only six will begin with the traditional September start to a new season.

WHAT’S GONE: The comedies “Marry Me,” “About a Boy,” “One Big

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Monday, May 11, the 131st day of 2015.

There are 234 days left in the year.

Today’s highlight: On May 11, 1945, the aircraft carrier USS Bunker Hill was attacked and

Actor Anthony Geary, whose character Luke Spencer’s marriage to Laura in 1981 on “General Hospital” was the biggest moment in daytime television history, is leaving the soap opera after nearly three decades in the role.

It was Geary’s decision to leave, and he’ll be written out of the ABC show for an episode that will air later this summer, executive producer Frank Valentini said Friday.

More than 30 million people tuned in to watch Luke marry Laura, considered a storybook event despite the creepy backstory of Laura falling in love with her rapist. Actress Genie Francis, who played Laura but hasn’t been on “General Hospital” since 2013, will return this summer to participate in the story of Luke’s exit, ABC said.

Geary, 67, began playing Luke in 1978 but left the show in 1984. He returned in 1991 but, tired of the character, played Luke’s lookalike cousin. Audiences didn’t like it, however, so the cousin was killed off and Geary resumed playing Luke in 1993, and has remained since then.

Associated Press

severely damaged by two kamikaze aircraft off Okinawa; according to the U.S. Navy’s official website, 346 men were killed, 43 were left missing, and 264 were wounded.

On this date:

Happy,” “A to Z” and “Bad Judge” are all cancelled. So are “State of Affairs,” “Constantine” and “Allegiance.”

LIVE: The cast and producers of “Undateable” aired a live episode earlier this month, and next season will attempt the high-wire act of doing it each week. Networks love live shows, since they are generally DVR-proof. NBC will also present a live production of “The Wiz” next fall and airs pro football games each Sunday night.

For a sitcom like “Undateable,” the appeal will be in seeing if a cast can pull it off without flubs.

“Live programming is one more way to make a show undeniable,” said Robert Greenblatt, NBC Entertainment chairman.

PROVEN PLAYERS: Television offers no guarantees, but familiar actors and ideas are the closest thing. That’s why Nelson, whose series “Parenthood” ended this past season, returns to the role he played for nine seasons on “Coach.” In the new version, Hayden Fox is retired but gets back into the

action to help his son.

“Heroes” was one of NBC’s few successes during the 2000s, so it is coming back as “Heroes Reborn,” with a similar supernatural premise and new cast, although some original “Heroes” players will occasionally appear.

The original show’s creator, Tim Kring, is back.

Few producers have been more dependable for NBC than Wolf, maker of the “Law & Order” franchise. His “Chicago Med” series, a relative to “Chicago P.D.,” was given the go-ahead although, like “Coach,” it will appear sometime in the midseason.

COMEDY DROUGHT: NBC’s record developing comedies in recent years has been abysmal, with the network of “Friends,” “Seinfeld,” “Cheers” and “The Office” straining for laughs. Only two comedies made it onto the fall schedule, both on Friday nights, general considered a network graveyard.

“Undateable” will be seen on a night when most of its target audience hopes to

be out on dates.

VARIETY SHOW: Variety shows are a moribund TV genre, but NBC will try to bring it back with the versatile Neil Patrick Harris. He’ll star in a Tuesday night show this fall that will feature stunts, skits and musical numbers, based on the British show “Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway.”

STAR POWER: Besides Nelson and Harris, NBC’s new series feature boldfaced names like Jennifer Lopez (“Shades of Blue”), Rob Lowe (“You, Me and the End of the World”), Wesley Snipes (“The Player”), Eva Longoria (“Hot & Bothered”), Oliver Platt and S. Epatha Merkerson (“Chicago Med”) and America Ferrara (“Superstore”).

EVENTS: NBC also promised a TV movie based on Dolly Parton’s life and a miniseries, “The Reaper,” about an African-American sniper credited with 33 kills in a 10-day deployment in Afghanistan.

PORT OF EVERETT NOTICE of MITIGATED DETERMINATION OF NON-SIGNIFICANCE (MDNS) Port SEPA File No. 2015-05 The Port of Everett has issued a mitigated determination of nonsignificance (MDNS) under the State Environmental Policy Act Rules (Chapter 197-11) for the following project: DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL: As an Interim Cleanup Action under the Mill A Model Toxics Control Act Agreed Order with and under the supervision of the Washington Department of Ecology, the Port of Everett (Port) is proposing to remove approximately 40,000 CY across a 1.7 acre portion of Port Gardner. The site is adjacent to the South and Pacific Terminals. The Interim Cleanup Action will be subject to review and approval by Ecology to ensure compliance with MTCA requirements. Contaminated and clean material will be removed to a depth of -42 feet (MTLW) with a 1 foot over dredging allowance. Sediment disposal requirements will be determined based on a Dredged Material Characterization report that is currently underway and will be reviewed by State and Federal agencies. Disposal may include open water and/or approved upland facilities. The project includes construction of a temporary transition slope that will require capping of exposed contaminated sediment with clean material. Existing shoreline armoring will be temporarily removed and replaced following dredging. In total, the shoreline and offshore temporary transition slopes will be armored with approximately 4,000 CY of riprap across approximately 23,000 SF. Approximately 200 CY of fish mix gravel will be placed on top of the riprap in certain areas to enhance habitat.

The work would start in mid-July 2016 and be completed in January 2017.

PROPONENT AND LEAD AGENCY: Port of Everett LOCATION OF PROPOSAL: The property is located at 3500 Terminal Avenue, Everett, Washington, 98201, in Snohomish County.

Matthews may play in Switzerland The elite prospect, who is on the Everett Silvertips’ protected list, is considering a pro career in Europe.

By Nick Patterson Herald Writer

are the only pitchers to record their 2,000th career strikeout at a younger age.

After home-plate umpire Will Little called Fuld out on strikes, the game paused briefly and the stadium scoreboards lit up with acknowledgment of the feat. The 42,831 in attendance — many of them mothers wearing sun hats given to them upon entry — gave a standing ovation. The ball was removed from play for safekeeping.

Hernandez, not surprisingly, said he wasn’t thinking much about the personal landmark.

“I was thinking about having a good game for my mom and my wife,” he said.

That’s fine. Others were more willing to shower their ace with genuine praise.

For instance, Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon: “From afar, when I was on the other side, I knew he was

The Everett Silvertips have new competition in the race to secure superstar hockey prospect Auston Matthews’ services next season, as he apparently is considering playing professionally in Switzerland.

The Hockey News reported Saturday night that Matthews has added the possibility of playing for a Swiss pro team to his options for the 2015-16 season. He previously had been choosing between playing next season for Everett or for an NCAA school.

The Swiss newspaper Blick reported Sunday morning that Matthews had signed to play with the Zurich-based ZSC Lions of the Swiss National League A. North American sources later disputed those claims, with NHL.com quoting Matthews as saying: “I am looking at all opportunities. Switzerland, Everett and the CHL, as well as the NCAA are all great options for me. I am speaking with my family and advisors Pat Brisson and Judd Moldaver and will probably make a decision soon.”

Should Matthews sign with a Swiss team, he would become the first North American player to play professionally in Europe during his NHL draft season.

Matthews, a big, skilled 17-yearold center from Arizona, is considered one of the best hockey prospects in the world. This season, playing for the U.S. National Team Development Program’s U-18 team, he broke Patrick Kane’s single-season scoring record for the program. Matthews dominated the U-18 World Championships in April, leading the U.S. to the gold medal and earning MVP honors.

He then became the first player ever to play for the U.S. men’s team prior to being eligible for the NHL draft. He’s currently projected as the first overall pick in the 2016 NHL draft.

Everett selected Matthews in the third round of the 2012 bantam draft. It was believed Matthews was choosing between playing for Everett or in college next season, and the Tips were thought to have an edge as Matthews would have had to accelerate his schooling to be

SEATTLE — Before he took the mound Sunday afternoon and achieved a career milestone significant enough to warrant stadium-wide recognition, Felix Hernandez called his mom.

It was Mother’s Day, after all, so Hernandez phoned home to Venezuela to check in with his mother, Mirian.

He said she told him to “go out there and do what you know to do.

Pitch good.”

So he did.

“My mom’s from Venezuela and I miss her so much,” Hernandez said.

“I just wanted to go out there and try to help the team win and dedicate this game to my mom and my wife.”

That’s what Hernandez wanted to talk about after the Seattle Mariners beat the Oakland Athletics 4-3 to complete a sweep of their threegame series at Safeco Field. He

It seems like every game now he pitches he’s setting a milestone. It’s pretty cool to watch.

allowed two runs in seven innings and improved his season record to 6-0 in seven starts.

And he also became the fourthyoungest pitcher in major-league history to reach the 2,000-strikeout mark, accomplishing that honor with a strikeout of Sam Fuld to lead off the fifth inning. Bert Blyleven, Sam McDowell and Walter Johnson

SEAHAWKS | Rookie Minicamp

‘I am a huge daydreamer, but I believe I can do it’ After three tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan, rookie long snapper Nate Boyer is looking to land a job in the NFL at age 34.

By Gregg Bell The News Tribune

RENTON — Green Berets thrive on anonymity, on secrecy.

This past weekend absolutely was not that for Nate Boyer.

Boyer, 34-year-old veteran of three war tours as a U.S. Army Special Forces soldier, walked up to the podium just beyond the Seahawks’ lush practice field. He squinted into the sun, into the cameras trained on him, into the reporters five-deep wanting to talk to him.

“I wasn’t expecting this,” he said on his first day as a Seattle Seahawk.

The former staff sergeant was standing beside one of the NFL’s most modern and opulent team headquarters, on the sun-sparkled shores of Lake Washington.

INSIDE:

It was a world — another lifetime, really — away from the deserts and tanks and patrols of his former workplaces in Iraq and Afghanistan.

“It’s unbelievable,” the most unlikely undrafted free-agent long snapper in NFL history said during rookie minicamp. “To be able to say I am officially an NFL player — for as long as it lasts — is amazing. It is hard to describe.”

He’s a hardened war veteran among 20-, 21- and 22-year-old kids. The smallest NFL details — likely lost on the top draft picks who have been stars since high school — are the biggest thrills for Boyer. That’s the result of being shot at with guns and mortars for years as part of the 10th Special Forces Group.

hijacked into the World Trade Center in New York and into the Pentagon just outside Washington, D.C. Three years later, compelled to selfless service, Boyer enlisted in the Army. He was so driven, so proficient and so mentally tough, he made it through the absurdly challenging training to become a member of the elite Special Forces. A total of 150 candidates entered Boyer’s training to be a Green Beret.

Eleven made it all the way through.

That led to three tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, wars that stemmed from the 9-11 attacks Boyer watched unfold on his television years earlier.

While at war, Boyer learned of a college football coach named Mack Brown, representing the University of Texas. He’d heard how great Brown was to soldiers while on USO tours. Plus, Boyer See BOYER, Page C3

Rosberg wins Spanish GP Associated Press GRANOLLERS, Spain — Nico Rosberg got the better of Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton for the first time this season, winning the Spanish Grand Prix on Sunday from pole position.

Hamilton, the series points leader, finished second and Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel was third.

Hamilton has won three of the five races this season.

“I was able to control the pace and I never felt in danger throughout the whole race,” Rosberg said. “It’s still early ... in the season so it’s good to close the gap (on) Lewis. I will continue to push hard.”

academically eligible to play in the NCAA. But should Matthews choose to play in Switzerland, he not only wouldn’t have to worry about academic eligibility, he also would be paid to play, something that wouldn’t happen in either the WHL or the NCAA. Reports suggested Matthews would earn in the region of $500,000 for playing for ZSC Lions next season.

Losing out on Matthews would be a significant blow for the Tips.

Not only would Everett lose out on an elite player, it’s believed Matthews’ choice could influence whether other elite players on the Tips’ protected list, such as forwards Tyson Jost and Patrick Khodorenko, choose to come to Everett.

Teammates mob LeBron James (23) after James hit the game-winning shot Sunday in the Cleveland Cavaliers’ 86-84 win over the Chicago Bulls in the NBA playoffs.

‘Give me the ball’ LeBron James nixes the last-second play called by his coach and proceeds to hit the game-winning shot Associated Press CHICAGO — LeBron James watched his coach draw up the final play — and then drew up one of his own.

“Give me the ball and get out of the way,” he said.

James overruled Cleveland coach David Blatt’s idea for a last-second inbounds play and drained a jumper from the corner at the buzzer to give the Cavaliers an 86-84 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Sunday, evening the NBA Eastern Conference semifinal series at 2-2.

During a stoppage in play the Cavs got only because the officials were reviewing a play, Blatt designed a play that had James taking the ball out.

The four-time NBA MVP has been in enough pressure situations that he vetoed his coach.

“I told Coach there was no way I’m taking the ball out unless I could shoot it over the backboard ...,” James said. “So I told him, ‘Have somebody else take the ball out.’ The play that was drawn up, I scratched it. I just told Coach, ‘Just give me the ball.

We’re either going to go into overtime or I’m going to win it for us.”’

James, who played the final quarter on a sprained left ankle, finished with 25 points to help the Cavaliers win in another wild finish, returning the favor after Chicago took Game 3 on Derrick Rose’s banked 3-pointer at the horn.

This time, James got whistled for an offensive foul when he elbowed Mike Dunleavy Jr., and Rose scored on a driving layup with 9.4 seconds left to tie game 84-84. Blatt tried to call a timeout but didn’t have one and assistant Tyronn Lue alertly pulled him off the court.

Then, following an animated break, James ended the game with his 21-foot jumper over Jimmy Butler, setting off a wild celebration by Cleveland’s players who pinned James to the scorer’s table.

Game 5 of the best-of-seven series is Tuesday night in Cleveland.

James rolled his left ankle in the third quarter, but fought off the injury. He committed eight turnovers

and struggled again from the field, hitting 10 of 30 shots after going 8-for-25 in Game 3. But he also had 14 rebounds, eight assists and a shot that gave Cleveland fans some comfort after Rose broke their hearts Friday night.

“There’s nothing you can do about it,” Rose said of James’ contested jumper. “He hit a great shot. He’s a hell of a player. We just have to make sure that if we’re in that position again, just make sure that we force him out a little bit more or make someone else get the ball.”

Cleveland point guard Kyrie Irving, playing with a sprained right foot, was 2 of 10 from the field, scored 12 points and had two assists. Timofey Mozgov had 15 points and nine rebounds, and J.R. Smith, who was suspended for Games 1 and 2, came on strong for Cleveland down the stretch, scoring 11 of his 13 points in the fourth quarter.

Rose scored 31 points and Butler added 19. They were the only players in double figures for Chicago, which was playing without Pau Gasol, out with a strained left hamstring. Gasol’s status for Game 5 is in question.

The Cavaliers went more than 7 minutes without scoring in the third quarter and got a major scare late in the quarter when James rolled his left ankle when he stepped on Rose’s foot and was called for a charge.

“I wasn’t coming out,” James said. “I can’t afford to come out, not only because of the position that our team is in but because of who I am as a leader of this team. I was going to fight through it no matter what. That’s why we have a great training staff.

They’ll probably be on me around the clock to make sure my wheel is as close to 100 percent as possible

by Tuesday.”

Blatt had a rough final few minutes, nearly costing the Cavs by trying to call a timeout after Rose drove for the game-tying layup with 9.4 seconds left.

Blatt tried to call a timeout he didn’t have, but Lue restrained him, preventing a technical foul.

“Yeah, I almost blew it, to be honest with you,” Blatt said.

LOS ANGELES — Houston’s strategy of intentionally fouling poor free-throw shooter DeAndre Jordan backfired in a big way.

Jordan scored 26 points, making 14 of 34 free throws after attempting an NBA playoff-record 28 in the first half, and the Los Angeles Clippers won 128-95 on Sunday night to take a 3-1 lead in their Western Conference semifinal.

“All of us kind of got freaked out by it early,” Clippers coach Doc Rivers said of the Rockets’ strategy, “and then after that we were fine.”

They certainly were.

Jordan had 17 rebounds, Blake Griffin added 21 points, J.J. Redick had 18 points and Chris Paul finished with 15 points and 12 assists in the Clippers’ second straight blowout win in the best-of-7 series.

“They beat the hell out of us,” Rockets coach Kevin McHale said.

Los Angeles can advance to the conference finals for the first time in franchise history with a victory in Game 5 Tuesday night in Houston.

“That’s not what we want to achieve,” Jordan said.

“We want to win nine more games.”

James Harden scored 21 points and Trevor Ariza added 18 for the Rockets. Dwight Howard was held to seven points and six rebounds and was ejected with 9:52 remaining in the game after getting called for a second technical.

“This is the ultimate adversity right now,” Harden said.

Jordan’s first trip to the line came 3:40 into the game.

During one stretch, he made four straight visits to the line, keeping his cool but verbally expressing disgust. The fans detested the incessant fouling, too, with some of them cursing McHale.

“Personally, I don’t like it,” Harden said, “but I guess different coaches have their different philosophies.”

Jordan’s 28 attempts — he made 10 — in the first half eclipsed the old mark of 27

by Shaquille O’Neal in 2000.

The teams combined for 93 attempts — three less than in Game 2.

Like they did in Game 3 Friday night, the Clippers rode another big third quarter to victory, opening with a 29-7 run that extended their sixpoint halftime lead to 89-61.

Fowler rallies to win TPC U.S. women shut out Associated Press PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — The latest survey was unanimous, not anonymous: Rickie Fowler can deliver the goods.

Facing a five-shot deficit with six holes to play, Fowler produced the greatest finish in the 34-year history of the TPC Sawgrass. In a three-man playoff on three of the most visually intimidating holes in golf, he never backed down.

No, there was nothing overrated about this kid.

Criticized in an Rickie anonymous survey Fowler by some of his peers for not being able to win, Fowler answered with a captivating victory at The Players Championship. As for that survey?

“I laughed at the poll,” he said.

“But yeah, if there was any question, I think this right here answers anything you need to know.”

Fowler wiped out that five-shot deficit Sunday by closing with birdieeagle-birdie-birdie on the Stadium Course for a 5-under 67. Still, he had to face Sergio Garcia and Kevin Kisner, who produced some big shots of their own.

For the first time, The Players went to a three-hole aggregate playoff starting on the par-5 16th, where

earlier Fowler hit a 3-wood into the breeze to 30 inches for an eagle that made this moment possible.

They all made pars on the 16th.

Kisner rolled in a breaking 10-foot birdie putt on the island-green 17th to keep pace with Fowler, who hit his tee shot to 6 feet and converted the birdie. Garcia, who in regulation made a 45-foot birdie to give him new life, failed to repeat the putt from about the same range in the playoff. All three players made par on the final hole, which eliminated Garcia.

Fowler and Kisner, who closed with a 69 and lost for the second time in a month in a playoff, headed back to the 17th. The great shots kept coming. Kisner barely cleared the mound and the ball settled 12 feet from the pin. Fowler answered by taking on the right side of the green and sticking it just inside 5 feet.

Kisner finally missed.

It was the second time in a month that Kisner, winless in 102 starts, lost in a playoff despite making clutch putts.

“Golf is a hard and cruel game,” he said. “But hats off. I mean, shoot, these guys are good.”

Fowler never seemed to miss over the final two hours, and he calmly clutched his fist to celebrate his first PGA Tour victory in three years.

“I’ve been waiting a long time for this,” he said.

Ireland in exhibition Associated Press SAN JOSE, Calif. — Abby Wambach scored twice and the United States women’s soccer team defeated Ireland 3-0 Sunday in a tuneup for the Women’s World Cup. Defender Julie Johnston, who has made just 10 international appearances, added a goal to extend her scoring streak to three straight matches.

It was the Americans’ fifth straight shutout, and goalie Hope Solo added to her U.S. record with the 83rd of her career. Wambach padded her career scoring record of 180 goals, and Sunday’s match was her 44th with multiple goals.

The sold-out exhibition at San Jose’s new Avaya Stadium was part of a sendoff tour for the Women’s World Cup, which starts next month in Canada. The Americans head to Carson, California, next Sunday for a match against Mexico.

The United States played without forward Alex Morgan because of a bone

bruise in her left knee. She also will miss the Mexico game.

U.S. coach Jill Ellis said this week that Morgan is being held out as a precaution.

The United States also was without midfielder Tobin Heath because of a lingering left hamstring injury.

The U.S. is now 11-0-0 alltime against Ireland, which is currently ranked No. 31 in the world and isn’t among the 24 teams playing in the World Cup. The United States opens the World Cup on June 8 with a group play match against Australia in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Women’s soccer’s premier tournament is being played in six Canadian cities over the course of a month, with the final set for July 5 in Vancouver, British Columbia.

The Americans are in Group D with Australia, Nigeria and Sweden.

A sellout crowd of 18,000 fans attended Sunday’s match at the new home of the San Jose Earthquakes.

Boyer From Page C1

said, “I saw that Longhorn logo more than any other symbol in Afghanistan. Granted, I was around a lot of American troops, but it seemed like it made the most sense for a soldier to go there.”

So that’s where he went. The son of a veterinarian father and mother with a doctorate degree in environmental engineering, Boyer went to Austin, Texas — and tried out for Brown’s football team as a freshman in 2008. As a 29-year-old, 5-foot-10, 200-pound former high school basketball player who had never played a down of competitive football.

“I walked on as safety and did scout team at safety,” Boyer said of his initial UT season.

As you may be about to deduce, Boyer wasn’t satisfied with the scout team.

“I wanted to be a starter. I wanted to play,” he said. “So I had to find a niche.”

The Longhorns were losing their snapper for punts and kicks, and the backup was graduating, too. So Boyer learned long snapping — by himself, while on summer National Guard duty training in Greece with the Greek Navy Seals.

“I picked up a ball and started figuring it out,” he said, “and the rest was history.”

Brown called Boyer, who was also an A student at Texas, “the most unique story in my 42 years of coaching.”

“Guys would be complaining during two-a-days and I’d stop practice and say, ‘Nate, why don’t you come up here and tell us about Iraq? “ Brown told Yahoo!

Sports in January. “That’d be the end of that.”

Boyer got so good at long snapping he remains renowned for never sending back a bad one, in games or in practice. Brown gave him a Texas scholarship for his

new skill. That streak of tens of thousands of great snaps continued Friday in his first day as a Seahawk.

“It’s hard to grasp ... what he’s gone through and what he’s endured and the mentality it’s taken to accomplish the things he’s accomplished,” Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. “He’s an amazing man. We’re thrilled to have him. He snaps the ball pretty sweet, too.”

And get this: Even after Boyer came home to walk-on at Texas, he kept going back to war — as a summer enlistee in the National Guard. Last July, days before his senior season began for the Longhorns, he was in a firefight near the Afghanistan-Pakistan border.

Think those experiences and the character traits of discipline and toughness — mental even more than physical — might be assets for this Seahawks preseason? Especially for a team whose last game was the excruciating loss in the final seconds of the Super Bowl three months

ago?

Yes, the Seahawks recently resigned veteran long snapper Clint Gresham. But Boyer could be worth a preseason roster spot for locker-room intangibles alone — say, through the entire preseason when he could also get snaps on exhibition-game film for other NFL teams to see.

“Well, he’s very accurate snapping the football; he’s got good skill there. I don’t know where he got it,” Carroll said. “We need to see if he can hold up blockingwise. He’s not a big man.

“We know that he’s going to give you everything he’s got, which is all we’ve ever asked of our guys. Now we’ve got to see how that translates. He’s going to be in a big competition with ‘Gresh.’ We’ll see how that goes.”

Carroll hinted Boyer may be addressing the entire team soon as perhaps the most unique Seahawk ever.

“I like to think that anybody’s background might be a benefit to us in some ways,” Carroll said.

“When the timing is right and we’re able to mix it in with our regular routines, I’m going to try to call on it.”

Football does have some similarities to the military, Boyer said.

“Those brotherhoods you build in the locker room or on the battlefield are the same type of things,” he said. “The concept I love about football is that you’re fighting for the man on your left and right, and that is exactly what it’s all about in combat. When you get in a firefight, you’re no longer worried about yourself, but you’re taking care of your brother. And a successful football team has the same mindset: You don’t want to let the team down.”

As for his chances of making it in the NFL? Something says it would be foolish to count him out.

“I am a huge daydreamer,” he said, “but I believe I can do it.

“When you get to a level like this, it’s not failing. It may not work out the way you hope. But it’s not failing.”

overpowered an Orioles team that went bust in its week in the Big Apple. Baltimore lost three of four in the Bronx after being swept in two games by the Mets in Queens.

Pineda, traded to New York by the Seattle Mariners after the 2011 season, matched David Cone and David Wells for the second-most strikeouts in a game by a Yankees pitcher. Ron Guidry struck out 18 in 1978.

“That’s as good as we’ve

seen,” said Yankees manager Joe Girardi, who caught both Wells’ and Cone’s efforts in 1997. “He (Pineda) recorded 21 outs and 16 of ’em strikeouts.”

The 16 strikeouts were the most by the Orioles against one pitcher in a nine-inning game, according to STATS. Baltimore struck out 18 times overall, a club record for a nine-inning game.

J.J. Hardy, who homered, was the only Baltimore player who did not strike out against Pineda.

Mariners: Ackley gets key hit From Page C1

good, but I didn’t know he was this great of a competitor, and just even a better teammate. The accolades just keep coming and coming with this guy. He’s a delight to watch every fifth day. I think we’re all blessed. I’m not sure if everybody realizes what he’s actually doing, but this guy’s real, real good.”

Or Mariners center-fielder Dustin Ackley, whose two-out, two-run double in the fourth inning gave Seattle a 3-1 lead: “It seems like every game now he pitches he’s setting a milestone. It’s pretty cool to watch. I’ve been here with him for the perfect game and all these things and it keeps getting better and better.”

Even when he’s not at his best.

That’s perhaps the most impressive trait Hernandez possesses — the ability to grind through innings and get outs when he’s not throwing with absolute supremacy.

He wasn’t Sunday, because he allowed a pair of solo home runs to second-year shortstop Marcus Semien — one in the third inning, and another to lead off the sixth.

But that was all Oakland could muster against him. Charlie Furbush pitched a scoreless eighth inning, and Fernando Rodney earned the save despite Stephen Vogt’s homer in the ninth. Hernandez finished with six strikeouts and a walk, and threw 103 pitches.

“What a competitor,” McClendon marveled. “Today he didn’t have his greatest stuff, (but) he went out and competed and gave us a chance to win the ballgame.”

Which made it especially important for Ackley to come through when he did, facing Oakland

Jays place Saunders on disabled list Associated Press TORONTO — The Blue Jays put outfielder Michael Saunders on the 15-day disabled list Sunday with left knee inflammation.

Saunders went 0-for-4 in his return to the lineup Saturday after sitting out the previous four games.

Saunders underwent knee surgery in spring training to repair a torn meniscus and didn’t make his 2015 debut until April 25.

A seven-year veteran acquired from the Seattle Mariners in the offseason, Saunders is batting .194 this season with no homers and three RBI.
