Lawyers’ work recognized After the trio filed a lawsuit, a judge ruled the rights of mentally ill people warehoused in jail were being violated.

EVERETT — They weren’t getting any relief for their mentally ill clients who were waiting months in the Snohomish

County Jail for a bed at the state psychiatric hospital.

In motion after motion the state Attorney General’s Office would defend the delays, saying there was nothing it could do to change the system. There were

too many mentally ill people awaiting competency restoration and not enough beds at Western State Hospital.

People charged with crimes who were unable to assist with their own defense were jailed for weeks and sometimes months, often in solitary confinement, waiting to be moved to the hospital.

The long waits had surfaced years earlier and the state Department of Social and Health Services, which oversees the mental hospital, had taken some action but the issue came to head again last year.

EVERETT — The military-style arming of local law enforcement makes for a splashy headline.

In recent protests across the country, attention has focused on the use of military hardware by small departments.

The reality is that for decades police in Snohomish County and across the region have been using military hand-me-downs with little or no fanfare.

For example, the Snohomish County sheriff’s rescue helicopter, a high-profile Huey named SnoHawk 10, was obtained as surplus in the 1990s, as was the sheriff’s smaller helicopter.

Both the Lynnwood and Oak Harbor police departments own the armored personnel carriers known as MRAPs or Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles, public records show. Altogether, police in Snohomish and Island counties have received more than $1.6 million worth of surplus equipment — much of it at a deep discount.

Both the local MRAPs, roll on regular tires, not tank-style tracks.

Last week, President Barack Obama’s administration announced plans for new bans on certain kinds of military surplus being used by civilian police.

The ban extends to grenade launchers, bayonets and MRAPs on tracks, according to a story in The Washington Post.

Local authorities are paying attention, said Cmdr. Chuck Steichen with the Lynnwood Police Department. By his read, Lynnwood’s rig won’t be affected by the new rules.

Police quickly figured out that MRAPs on tracks, instead of wheels, didn’t fare well on urban streets, he said.

The Lynnwood MRAP was valued at $658,000 in fall 2013, records show. It was obtained by the department and is maintained in Lynnwood, but isn’t limited to the city of 36,000, Steichen said.

It responds to the entire area served by the regional North Sound Metro SWAT Team.

That includes roughly 300,000

Lawyers: State has until July to come up with plan From Page A1

the scenes to negotiate a solution and gather data about the scope of the problem.

Snohomish County public defenders Cassie Trueblood, Jason Schwarz and Braden Pence weren’t going to wait anymore for a fix. They filed a civil rights lawsuit in August in federal court on behalf of one of their clients.

The lawyers recently were recognized around the state for their efforts to put an end to warehousing incompetent defendants in county jails.

Last month, a federal court ordered the state to fix the long waits. U.S. District Court Judge Marsha Pechman concluded that current system is violating the rights of mentally ill people and she ruled that inmates must be moved within seven days of a judge’s order.

“The state has consistently and over a long period of time violated the constitutional rights of the

mentally ill — this must stop,” Pechman wrote.

The state has until July to provide Pechman with its plan to comply with her ruling. It must be implemented by next year.

Lawmakers in Olympia are looking for money to fund more mental health beds and psychiatrists.

Trueblood recently was given the Washington Defender Association President’s Award for her work to change statewide practices for competency restoration. Pence, her husband, received a certificate of recognition.

Trueblood, Schwarz and Pence and their office’s social worker, Eric Johnsen, also were given the Washington Association of Criminal Defense Attorneys Champion of Justice Award.

The legal teams for Disability Rights Washington and the American Civil Liberties Union of Washington also were given the same award for their work on behalf of people living with mental illness.

Those lawyers took over the federal lawsuit when Pechman ruled that the public defenders didn’t have legal standing to bring civil action against the state.

The Snohomish County Bar Association also gave its president’s award to Trueblood.

“Cassie has been a true champion not only for her own mentally ill clients, but, truly for all those accused of criminal conduct who suffer from mental illness,” Snohomish County Superior Court Judge George Bowden wrote in a nomination letter.

She has gone above providing competent representation for her clients.

“She has been tackling, successfully, a much larger problem — one which has been systemically denying justice to the mentally ill,” Bowden wrote.

Trueblood, 35, has been with the public defenders association for nine years.

Longtime managing director Bill Jaquette hired the Indiana native right out of

law school.

Last year she had been out of the office on maternity leave for about three months when Schwarz came over to visit her and Pence. The conversation circled back to a common point of frustration: the constant battle to get their clients to the hospital. They had seen them languish in jail and get worse without treatment. They had been unsuccessful in getting any judge to order sanctions against DSHS. “Braden and Jason came back from the park with the dog and said, ‘This is what we’re going to do,’ ” Trueblood said. “Thank God we had an amazing boss. We came in and said, ‘Hey Bill, we’re going to sue the state in federal court.’ ” She went back to work and Pence, 32, stayed home with their infant daughter. He was the only one with experience filing a civil lawsuit and wrote the complaint, often times hammering out the legal briefs with his 4-month-old daughter in his arms.

Schwarz and Trueblood continued to file motions to have their clients released from jail until beds became available at Western State Hospital. They also testified in Olympia about pending legislation before Pechman’s ruling. Since then they’ve been providing feedback about new legislation to meet the judge’s mandate.

Trueblood said the problem is far from fixed. There are too many people caught up in the criminal justice system who don’t belong there, Trueblood said. She held up a 6-inch stack of letters from a severely mentally ill and homeless man.

He is a perennial client, who lands on Trueblood’s caseload often in the winter and frequently for breaking windows. She suspects that he is looking to get arrested so he’ll have warm place to stay.

“How is this right?” she asked.

Monroe district to annex land for developer

By Rikki King Herald Writer

MONROE — The Monroe fire district is planning to annex a 26-acre parcel north of the city.

The property owner, Monroe Land Investments, made the request in anticipation of developing a future subdivision off of Robinhood Lane, north of the airport.

Approximately 190 houses are

planned on the parcel and an adjoining 53-acre parcel.

The application for the subdivision is pending before the county, said John Bissell, principal planner with LSA Engineering, the Lynnwood-based firm that represents Monroe Land Investments.

The rest of the project already lies within the boundaries of the fire district. So does Robinhood Lane, the road that provides access to the proposed

development and the surrounding area, Fire Chief Jamie Silva said.

“It just makes sense that it will be us,” Silva said.

Smaller annexations are fairly common as rural areas become developed, the chief said. His district has collected a few pieces of former no-man’s-land, particularly along Highway 203 and areas south of the city such as High Bridge Road and High

Rock Road.

After annexation, property owners pay taxes for fire protection and emergency medical services. If people live outside a fire district, they will be billed for the response, Silva said. Those calls most often involve medical emergencies rather than flames.

Being outside of any fire district also increases home insurance costs, he said.

The owner of the 26-acre parcel

organized the petition for annexation, the chief said. The fire commissioners voted to accept the petition on May 11. The chief forwarded the materials earlier this week to the county auditor for review.

The fire district plans a public hearing on the matter at 7 p.m.

Tuesday at headquarters, 163 Village Court, Monroe. Eventually the annexation will go before the Boundary Review Board.

Kevin Hickson, owner of the Lake Roesiger Store, speaks with a customer inside the shop that has been operating since 1939 along S. Lake Roesiger Road. Hickson is currently searching for a replacement for the single mechanical gas pump, the only one within miles, that recently broke down in front of his store. Boating season on Lake Roesiger starts May 25.

Little store runs out of gas

Owner hopes to get the Lake Roesiger landmark pumping again

By Kari Bray Herald Writer

LAKE ROESIGER — There’s beer in the cooler, chips on the shelf, chickens in the backyard and dogs on the porch at the Lake Roesiger Store, since 1939 a landmark in this rural community.

There also is an old, dirty gas pump outside wrapped in red tape. The pump — held together by some combination of baling wire, elbow grease and hope for the last few years — finally stopped pumping gas about two

weeks ago, store owner Kevin Hickson said. He’s fixed it in the past, but this time it’s beyond repair.

Having a broken gas pump this summer would be a headache for customers and a hard hit to the store’s finances.

Hickson, 52, has been pricing new and used pumps. They range from $6,500 to just under $20,000. He figures even if he’s frugal, he’ll have to sell 20,000 gallons of gas to pay off a new pump. Last year, he sold a total of 8,600 gallons.

“So it’ll take me a few years to

catch up,” he said.

Gas at the Lake Roesiger Store is more expensive than elsewhere because the store’s not sponsored by a large vendor and must order fuel at a higher price, said Jessica Godfrey, Hickson’s oldest daughter. Still, buying gas locally usually is easier than driving 10 miles to another station.

Godfrey helped set up an online donation site at www. gofundme.com/uq8g5w3k to raise money for a new gas pump. She lives in Pennsylvania now and wanted to do

something to help her family’s store. Her dad reluctantly agreed.

“He’s a proud man and he doesn’t like to ask for help, but it’s in the middle of nowhere and he needs it,” Godfrey said.

“There aren’t too many of these mom and pop shops left.”

With summer approaching, the population around the lake soon will swell as people flock to vacation cabins and tourists brave the backroads of Snohomish County to find a good See PUMP, Page A4

Willis Tucker Community Park to begin final construction

By Noah Haglund Herald Writer

front porch

MILL CREEK — Willis Tucker Community Park is due for its largest expansion since it opened more than a decade ago.

Construction is expected to start in late June at this park east of Mill Creek. The county in April awarded a $3.1 million bid to Ohno Construction of Seattle.

“It’s really become one of our premier parks,” Snohomish County parks director Tom Teigen said. “This is the final big phase.”

Today, the 84-acre grounds include ballfields, a spray park,

off-leash dog areas, an outdoor amphitheater and administration buildings.

The new phase will take shape on the east side of the park. It includes: ■■Two-hundred additional paved parking stalls ■■Four sand volleyball courts ■■A dog-washing pad and a water-bottle refilling station near the entrance to the off-leash dog park ■■Two covered picnic shelters ■■Upgrading two existing athletic fields Money for the additions is coming from tax collected

Oil-train safety discussion in Mukilteo People have the chance to talk about oil- and coal-train safety with Mukilteo Mayor Jennifer Gregerson and state Rep. Strom Peterson, D-Edmonds, at a meeting Wednesday evening from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at Mukilteo

on real-estate transactions and from impact fees on new construction.

The upcoming work is expected to last for 180 days. It could finish by the end of the year, but more likely will carry over into spring 2016.

Access to the off-leash dog area from nearby parking stalls for disabled patrons could be cut off during some periods of construction.

“The big disruption, unfortunately, is all for the off-leash dog people,” parks engineer Logan Daniels said.

The park, located at 6705

City Hall, 11930 Cyrus Way, Mukilteo.

Up to nine trains pass through Snohomish County each week carrying 1 million or more gallons of Bakken crude oil, according to figures BNSF Railway provided to the state May 1. The explosion of similar oil trains following derailments elsewhere in the United States and in Canada has heightened

interest in the issue.

Pooches needed in Arlington: The Arlington Police Department is looking for dog owners

EVERETT — Michael Skay was 16 when he committed the murder that sent him to prison for what was expected to be the rest of his life.

Now 36, the inmate recently began moving down a path that could one day win him a chance to walk free.

In December 1995, Skay joined Steven Eggers, then 19, in beating and robbing Blair Scott. They bound the Snohomish man, 27, with wire. They stuffed him into the trunk of his own car.

They then drove to the Skykomish River near Monroe, where Scott was thrown in and left to drown. Eggers was wearing the dead man’s boots and still driving his car when he was arrested a few days later.

Skay, who’d had plenty of scrapes with the law as a juvenile offender, was automatically treated as an adult because of the seriousness of the crime. He was tried along with Eggers. A Snohomish County Superior Court jury found the young killers guilty of aggravated first-degree murder.

Each faced life in prison without possibility of release — then the mandatory minimum sentence for that crime under Washington law.

“This punishment does meet this crime,” then-judge Ronald Castleberry said in 1996 when he sentenced Skay to spend his life behind bars.

But in 2012 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that mandatory life sentences for juvenile killers violate the Eighth Amendments’ prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment.

Legislators responded by amending Washington’s law in 2014. Now, anyone who commits aggravated murder between the ages of 16 and 18 must be sentenced to a minimum of 25 years behind bars. They still can face life without parole, but only after a judge individually considers the circumstances of their life and the case.

A state legislative report from 2014 said there are 27 Washington inmates who, like Skay, were sentenced to life without parole for killings committed when they were under 18. They now appear eligible to be resentenced.

The Snohomish County Public Defender Association has since 2102 been pursuing the legal work necessary to seek resentencing for Skay.

In March, the state Court of Appeals signed an order remanding the case for a resentencing hearing. That was scheduled for January after action last week in Superior Court.

Less than an hour later,

swimming beach, fishing hole or campsite.

The Lake Roesiger Store is the only shop and gas pump for miles. Granite Falls is nine miles away, Lake Stevens 12 miles, and Snohomish 14 miles on winding, wooded roads.

“One thing I always wanted to do was make this kind of a community place,” Hickson said. “Out here, you’re a half hour outside of town, but it feels like two hours.”

He tries to keep “at least one of everything” in stock, he said. There are summer must-haves like ice, propane, s’mores supplies and fishing gear. There also are canned soups, sewing kits, candles, cold medicine,

a second call came in. This time it was for an injured female hiker on a trail at Perry Creek, which is less than a mile away from Mount Dickerman.

Everett Mountain Rescue used safety ropes to lower the two men past the waterfall. The pair then hiked out on foot alongside volunteer rescuers. They reached the trailhead at about 3 a.m.

Monday, according to a

press release from the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office.

At the same time, other rescuers reached the injured hiker, who had broken her ankle in a fall, according to the release.

She was loaded into a litter and carried out by the volunteers. They also reached the trailhead at about 3 a.m.

A search-and-rescue

team member had a medical emergency unrelated to the rescues, said Shari Ireton, spokeswoman for the sheriff’s office.

He was taken by helicopter to Providence Regional Medical Center in Everett, where he is in critical condition, she said.

Rescuers from teams in Skagit, Pierce and King counties helped with the operations.

mouse traps and hair dye. The four employees, including Hickson and his youngest daughter Rachel, 19, can whip up an espresso if someone wants to sit at the counter and visit. There’s a room in the back of the small green building with a fireplace and a couple big tables for Friday game nights in the winter. That room, along with the back patio, turn into a beer garden during the summer. Hickson also rents out kayaks and fishing boats.

The store has to be a little bit of everything to survive, he said. It’s a coffee shop, fishing supplier, grocery store, beer stop, entertainment venue and gas station.

The business has changed hands a dozen times but almost always has been run by a local family, Hickson said. A

volunteer firefighter and former mortgage banker, he bought the store with his wife and daughters in 2011. His wife died of a liver infection two years ago.

Jaclyn Morgan, 26, has worked at the store for five years and came with the place when the Hicksons bought it. She balances work with college psychology classes.

“This place is great,” Morgan said. “It’s definitely been a lifeline for me. When I told Kevin I was going back to school, he was super supportive. Everyone here is like family.”

Hickson feels like part of his job is helping neighbors get to know each other, though he jokes that they all probably know more than they ever wanted to. It’s a tight-knit neighborhood around

the lake, and the store is a gathering place.

Hickson hopes to get a new gas pump installed in time for the summer crowds. The Go Fund Me page could make that happen.

“It was hard for me putting that out there,” he said. “I don’t like asking for help. I’d like to fix it myself.”

As a volunteer firefighter, though, he’s extra cautious with gasoline or electricity. He doesn’t have the expertise, and it’s not worth someone getting hurt in his attempt to repair something.

“We’ll get the right people and get it done right,” he said.

The campaign had raised almost $1,500 of its $15,000 goal by the end of last week.

Shirley Jokinen Sievers

March 23, 1935-May 14, 2015 “ We a r e t h e l e g a c y w e leave behind,” and what a beautiful one Shirley left for us all.

Shirley died peacefully at h o m e o n M a y 14 , 2 01 5 af ter a courageous sixmonth battle with colon cancer. She was surrounded by her family that she lovingly called her “cheer squad.”

Shirley was born on March 23, 1935, an only child of Helen and Matt Jokinen. She was born in Hibbing, Minnesota, and with her parents moved to Everett when she was two years old.

She was raised in Everett, attending Garfield E l e m e n t a r y, N o r t h J u n i o r High and Everett High School. She attended the University of Washington, graduating Magna Cum Laude and a member of Phi Beta Kappa. She was also a member of Delta Delta Delta sorority and stayed in contact with dear friends made there throughout her life.

Shirley and Chris were married in 1961. They had four children, Lisa Geber t ( J o h n ) , To d d S i ev e r s ( Ve ro n i c a ) , S a r a H o d g e (Gordon) and Sonja Owen (Rob). Shirley taught elementary school and put those skills to use spending endless hours educating and reading to her children. She devoted much of her early m a r r i e d l i fe to h e r k i d s ’ school activities serving as a room mom and active PTA member.

S h i r l ey, a f fe c t i o n a te l y known as “Namie,” adored her nine grandchildren: Katie, Matt and Tom Gebert; Megan, Will and Kyle Hodge; and Jenna, Grace and Georgia Owen. Favorite traditions with the grandchildren included elaborate gingerbread house decorating at Christmas, taking them yearly to the Santa Breakfast at the Sheraton Hotel, and family barbeques on Whidbey Island in the summer. She was their biggest fan at cross-country meets, tennis matches, basketball games, and ballet recitals. Always thoughtful, she would send boxes of treats during finals week to her grandchildren in college.

A lifelong Husky fan, Shirley and Chris were avid followers of UW football and basketball where she created delicious tailgate spreads, including her famous sugar cookies. She loved to travel. She was a gif ted trip planner and planned many European trips with Chris, the family, and friends.

S h i r l ey wa s a l o n g - t i m e member of the Everett Book Club where she enjoyed giving book reports, a member of Chapter AL of P.E.O. and was involved at church serving meals to the homeless.

Shirley is survived by her husband Chris of 54 years; her four children and nine grandchildren; brothers and sisters-in-law, Bob and Carol Olson and Bill and Patty Sievers and their families.

We were grateful to have Shirley as the center of our family. Summers were spent to g e t h e r a t U s e l e s s B ay, Whidbey Island. Every bir thday and holiday was another reason to be together. We will miss the twinkle in her eye and her calm, gracious, loving, unselfish nature.

A celebration of her life will be held on Saturday, May 30, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. at the First Presbyterian Church of Everett.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Providence Hospice of Snohomish County or the Imagine Children’s Museum of Everett.

Nevada: Two B.B. King heirs say aides killed him

PABLO MARTINEZ MONSIVAIS / ASSOCIATED PRESS

President Barack Obama, with the aid of Sgt. 1st Class John C. Wirth, lays a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns on Memorial Day at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia.

including ground troops.

Vice President Joe Biden spoke Monday with Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi and pledged full U.S. support for Iraqi efforts to reclaim territory from the Islamic State, including by speeding up the provision of U.S. training and equipment, the White House said.

Defense Secretary Ash Carter had said in a nationally broadcast interview aired Sunday that Iraqi forces “showed no will to fight” and fled as the Islamic State advanced on Ramadi.

The White House said in a statement that Biden’s call “recognized the enormous sacrifice and bravery of Iraqi forces over the past 18 months in Ramadi and elsewhere.”

In his remarks at Arlington National Cemetery, Obama said most of the remaining troops should be removed from Afghanistan by the end of 2016.

He recognized the more than 2,200 “patriots” who sacrificed themselves in Afghanistan, including the final two to be killed before the U.S. combat mission ended late last year. He also recognized the first American killed during the “new mission” to train Afghan forces, an Army medic who died in April.

Earlier, troops stationed in that war-wracked country observed a moment of silence in honor of fallen comrades there.

Obama traveled by motorcade in late morning from the White House to Arlington and began his outing by laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns. He bowed his head briefly and listened with others to the playing of “Taps.”

Obama said most Americans don’t understand the sacrifice made by the 1 percent of the population that serves in the all-volunteer Armed Forces.

But when he meets with “Gold

Star” families that have lost loved ones through military service, Obama said he hears “their pride through their tears.”

“I see that their hearts are still broken, and yet still full of love,” he said. “They do not ask for awards or honors. They do not ask for special treatment.

They are unfailingly humble.

In the face of unspeakable loss, they represent the best of who we are.”

Obama said the markers at Arlington signify the blessings many Americans enjoy.

“It’s a debt we can never fully repay,” he said, “but it is a debt we will never stop trying to fully repay.”

Introducing Obama, Carter, the defense secretary, said, “We, your fellow Americans, lack the words to describe what you feel today because try as we may, and try as we do, we can never fully know. But we do know what your sacrifice means to us.”

Twister kills 13 on Mexico border; 12 missing in Texas A baby, ripped from its mother’s arms, has not been found.

By Mark Stevenson And Seth Robbins Associated Press

MEXICO CITY — A tornado raged through a city on the U.S.-Mexico border Monday, destroying homes, flinging cars like matchsticks and ripping an infant from its mother’s arms. At least 13 people were killed, authorities said.

In Texas, 3 people died and 12 were reported missing in flash flooding from a line of storms that stretched from the Gulf of Mexico to the Great Lakes.

The baby was also missing after the twister that hit Ciudad Acuna, a city of 125,000 across from Del Rio, Texas, sent its infant carrier flying.

Rescue workers began digging through the rubble of damaged homes in a race to find victims.

The twister hit a sevenblock area, which Victor Zamora, interior secretary of the northern state of Coahuila, described as “devastated.”

Three hundred people were being treated for injuries at local hospitals, and 400 houses were fully or partially destroyed, said Edgar Gonzalez, spokesman for the city government.

“There’s nothing standing, not walls, not roofs,” Gonzalez said, describing some of the destroyed homes in a 1-square mile stretch.

Family members and

Planes searched after anonymous threats NEW YORK — A series of anonymous telephone threats against commercial airliners Monday, possibly from the same source, prompted searches of at least two planes at Kennedy Airport and nearly interrupted a third flight from England, authorities said. Authorities said the threats didn’t appear to be credible and the searches were done as a precaution. In one instance Monday morning, U.S. military jets escorted an Air France flight into New York City after someone claimed a chemical weapon was aboard the aircraft, the FBI said.

By Darlene Superville ARLINGTON, Va. — President Barack Obama on Monday saluted Americans who died in battle, saying the country must “never stop trying to fully repay them” for their sacrifices. He noted it was the first Memorial Day in 14 years without U.S. forces engaged in a major ground war.

Speaking under sunny skies to some 5,000 people in an amphitheater on the hallowed grounds of Arlington National Cemetery, Obama said the graveyard is “more than a final resting place of heroes.”

“It is a reflection of America itself,” he said, citing racial and religious diversity in the backgrounds of the men and woman who paid the ultimate sacrifice to preserve “the ideals that bind us as one nation.”

His appearance is an annual rite for presidents at the cemetery nestled among verdant hills overlooking the Potomac River. It came months after the end of the U.S. combat mission in Afghanistan, where the number of stationed troops has been reduced to about 10,000 from a peak of more than 100,000.

His tribute also took place against a backdrop of the increasingly complex U.S.led effort to help Iraq defeat the Islamic State extremist group, which has been gaining momentum in recent weeks by capturing Ramadi there and taking Palmyra in neighboring Syria.

Obama made no mention of America’s participation with other nations in the effort to stop the Islamic State. His effort there has come under intensifying criticism since the fall of Ramadi with lawmakers calling for a bigger show of American force there,

ACROSS THE U.S.

JERRY LARA / THE SAN ANTONIO EXPRESS-NEWS

Debi Welsh, of Corpus Christi, Texas, picks up a lamp while helping clean up the remains of her family home that washed away Monday.

neighbors gathered around a pickup truck where the bodies of a woman and two children were laid out in the truck’s bed, covered with sheets.

Two relatives reached down to touch the bodies, covered their eyes and wept.

Photos from the scene showed cars with their hoods torn off, resting upended against single-story houses.

One car’s frame was bent around the gate of a house.

A bus was seen flipped and crumpled on a roadway.

The twister struck not long after daybreak, around the time buses were preparing to take children to school, Zamora said.

In the U.S., the weather system dumped record rainfall on parts of the Plains and Midwest, spawning tornadoes and causing major flooding that forced at least 2,000 Texans from their homes. A vacation house in Texas was swept away by a rain-swollen river.

The storms were blamed for three deaths Saturday and Sunday, including two in Oklahoma and one in Texas, where a man’s body was recovered from a flooded area along the Blanco River, which rose 26 feet in an hour and created huge piles of debris.

The line of heavy weather was expected to linger over a large swath of the region Monday.

Among the worst-affected communities were Wimberley and San Marcos, which are in Central Texas along the Blanco River in the corridor between Austin and San Antonio.

“It looks pretty bad out there,” Hays County emergency management coordinator Kharley Smith said of Wimberley, where an estimated 350 to 400 homes were destroyed. “We do have whole streets with maybe one or two houses left on them and the rest are just slabs.”

About 1,000 homes were damaged throughout Hays County. Five San Marcos police cars were washed away, and the firehouse was flooded, said Kristi Wyatt, a spokeswoman for San Marcos.

Rivers swelled so quickly that whole communities awoke Sunday surrounded by water. The Blanco crested above 40 feet — more than triple its flood stage of 13 feet.

The river swamped Interstate 35 and forced parts of the busy north-south highway to close. Rescuers used pontoon boats and a helicopter to pull people out.

After a surge of mud and water flooded their cottage in Wimberley, John and Valerie Nelson fled through waistdeep waters in darkness early Sunday with transformers sparking and trees crashing around them. The single-story house had been carefully rebuilt on stilts so that it would be able to withstand even the worst flooding.

“I’m absolutely dumbfounded,” said Valerie Nelson, who has owned the property for about 50 years. “I didn’t think the water would ever get that high.”

Hundreds of trees along the Blanco were uprooted or snapped, and they collected in piles of debris that soared 20 feet high.

“We’ve got trees in the rafters,” said Cherri Maley, the property manager of a house where the structure’s entire rear portion collapsed with the flooding, carrying away furniture.

“We had the refrigerator in a tree,” she said. “I think it’s a total loss.”

Two of B.B. King’s daughters who’ve been most outspoken about the blues legend’s final days are accusing King’s two closest aides of poisoning him.

Daughters Karen Williams and Patty King allege in documents provided by their lawyer to The Associated Press that King’s business manager, LaVerne Toney, and his personal assistant, Myron Johnson, killed their father. Clark County Coroner John Fudenberg said Monday that autopsy results will take up to eight weeks. Las Vegas police said they are not actively investigating at this time.

Ohio: Deal reached with Justice on policing The city of Cleveland has reached a settlement with the U.S. Justice Department over a pattern of excessive force and civil rights violations by the police department, according to a senior federal law enforcement official. News of the settlement comes two days after a white police officer was acquitted of manslaughter for firing the final 15 rounds of a 137-shot police barrage through the windshield of a car carrying two black, unarmed suspects in 2012.

The suspects’ backfiring vehicle had been mistaken for a gunshot, leading to a high-speed chase involving 62 police cruisers. Once the suspects were cornered, 13 officers fired at the car.

New Mexico: 2 die during cherry picker demonstration A cherry picker accident that left a man and a boy dead and injured three other children happened as the man was giving the neighborhood kids a demonstration of the elevated lift, authorities said. The cherry picker carrying the group toppled over from a strong gust of wind Sunday afternoon, fell on a power line and crashed about 50 feet to the ground, Albuquerque police spokesman Simon Drobik said. All five were thrown from the lift. The man in his 50s and a 12-year-old boy died.

AROUND THE WORLD

Malaysians suspect human trafficking at apparent graves Malaysian authorities have found 139 suspected graves in the country’s northern jungles at what they believe were camps used for trafficking humans, police announced Monday.

Some of the camps appeared to have been abandoned only recently, Khalid said in Wang Kelian, a Malaysian town not far from the site of the discoveries. Police found a assortment of goods scattered among their remains, he said: vegetables, rice, used bullets, a wooden stretcher, a pink teddy bear and white children’s sandals.

Israel: Ex-Prime Minister Ehud Olmert sentenced to 8 months in prison Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert was sentenced Monday to eight months in prison and a $25,000 fine for illegally accepting campaign contributions from an American supporter. Last year, he was handed a six-year prison sentence by a court in Tel Aviv for taking bribes from real estate developers when he served as mayor of Jerusalem more than a decade ago. That judgment was appealed by Olmert’s lawyers and he is currently awaiting a final ruling from the higher-level supreme court.

Tuk-tuks coming, but will America ride?

The motorized rickshaws are a fixture in Asia, and now a Denver company wants to bring them to America. But critics raise safety concerns.

By Thomas Peipert Associated Press

DENVER — They’re ubiquitous in Asia, swarming the bustling streets of Bangkok, New Delhi and Beijing.

Now, a company that manufactures the tuk-tuk — the three-wheeled motorized rickshaws that have moved the masses for more than half a century — aims to make inroads in the United States.

The Tuk Tuk Factory, based in Amsterdam, has signed a licensing agreement with Denver-based eTuk USA to allow the company to manufacture and sell an electric version of the vehicle. The company’s founders hope the ecofriendly vehicles, a far cry from the loud, pollution-spewing versions common in Asia and South America, will become the next hip mode of transportation for urban dwellers and tourists across the country.

It’s too soon to know if Americans will embrace tuk-tuks, but Michael Fox, director of sales and marketing for eTuk USA, says the company has been selling the vehicles across the country to individuals, marketing companies and food vendors for between $16,950 and $25,000, depending on how they are customized.

The three partners’ other company, eTuk Denver, launched a call-and-demand shuttle service in downtown Denver after receiving approval from the Colorado

ASSOCIATED PRESS

A worker puts the finishing touches on an eTuk at eTuk USA’s manufacturing plant in northeast Denver.

Public Utilities Commission, which regulates for-hire transportation services.

The service is the latest entrant into an increasingly crowded field of transportation options that includes pedicabs, car-sharing services such as Uber and Lyft and golf-cart taxis.

Fox is banking that the tuk-tuk’s open-air design will help it stand out.

“When you look at a golf cart and you look at a tuk-tuk, which has more curb appeal?” he asked.

But like car-sharing services, the tuk-tuk has faced some pushback from a handful of cab companies and other shuttle operators — and

raised concerns about the vehicles’ safety.

Terry Bote, a commission spokesman, said several cab and shuttle companies were successful in restricting where the tuk-tuks can operate, what types and how many vehicles can be used and how many passengers each vehicle can carry.

The tuk-tuks operate mostly in a restricted downtown area — and are banned from providing scheduled service to the nearby Broncos’ football stadium, a lucrative destination for the competition.

But even with the restrictions, Fox said his service can complement Denver’s bus and light rail

systems.

He noted the “last-mile concept,” a term that has been used by urban planners to describe the difficulty of getting people from places like a railway station or a bus depot to their final destination.

The concept originally applied to suburban areas, but also is relevant when studying how people complete their trips in downtown areas, said Carolyn McAndrews, an assistant professor of design and planning at the University of Colorado-Denver.

McAndrews also said the market is ripe for new modes of transportation like tuk-tuks to

close that gap.

She points to a 2012 study in New Jersey that says “last-mile” shuttles are playing an increasingly important role in connecting people and jobs to rail transit, especially because of the decentralization of jobs and homes in most cities over the past few decades.

“To be competitive with cars, you have to make the point-topoint as convenient as possible,” she said.

And it seems like Colorado’s legislature agrees.

Because the tuk-tuks are classified as motorcycles by the U.S. Department of Transportation, drivers would have had to wear eye protection and get a motorcycle endorsement for the license.

Anyone under 18 also would have had to wear a helmet.

But state Rep. Paul Rosenthal said such requirements for vehicles that travel short distances at low speeds don’t make sense, especially for a shuttle service.

On May 4, the legislature passed Rosenthal’s bill to strip those requirements for 3-wheeled motorcycles with a windshield, seatbelts and a top speed of 25 mph. Each shuttle model also has undergone a standard commercial vehicle inspection to make sure it complies with federal safety standards Still, most states heavily regulate three-wheeled vehicles because of what some say is the potential for serious accidents.

Sherry Williams, who chairs a committee of independent researchers on motorcycle safety, said helmets should be required and passengers need to be aware of the possible danger in the event of an accident, even at slow speeds.

How, and how much, to help a recent college graduate

T

biz bits

hey got their degree. Some have jobs. Some don’t. Or they are underemployed, working at jobs they don’t particularly like.

Along with a degree comes a decision for many parents. What if your college graduate needs additional financial support?

Should you help, and if so how much is too much?

An online survey of more than 500 students and 500 parents found that about 65 percent of parents expect to support their children for up to five years after they graduate. And 68 percent of students expect financial support from their parents, according to the survey conducted by Upromise for Sallie Mae. So what’s the right way to help a young adult launch without creating an extended dependency?

The key word is discernment.

There isn’t a one-plan-fits-all approach to giving financial support to adult children. You have to know your child. There is a fine line between helping

MICHELLE SINGLETARY and enabling. Here are some key financial areas and my thoughts on how to give a hand up and not a handout: Rent: Should you supplement your graduate’s housing or charge rent if he or she starts living at home?

Twenty-four percent of parents would charge rent. And interestingly, 48 percent of students would pay rent for their old room — not that they will be thrilled about it.

If your adult child is gainfully employed, you could still let him or her live at home for a year or two to save and build a

cushion before launching. Once they’ve got a good emergency fund, that’s a good time to cut the financial cord. If you see more spending than saving, then charge for their housing.

If your child has a lot of student loans, living rent-free can help get rid of the debt a lot faster. In this case, you’re helping to speed up their financial freedom.

If your graduate is still looking for a job or is underemployed and has been otherwise financially responsible, I can see helping with rent if you can afford it. But be clear about how long and how much you are willing to give.

Let’s say the graduate is living at home but the job hunting is lackluster. There’s nothing like a rent bill to put the pressure on to look harder.

I had a nephew live with me once. He was a wonderful young man but he wasn’t looking for a job hard enough. So after giving him some grace for a few weeks, my husband and I started charging him rent. It was a modest

Be careful of supplementing rent for a graduate not living at home. If you help pay the rent, your graduate may choose a place he or she can’t really afford.

Cellphone: Should you keep your graduate on your plan? If it’s cheaper to do so, I don’t see anything wrong in letting your child stay put for a while. But split the bill if he or she has a good job.

Car payment and/or auto insurance: Should the graduate take over car expenses?

Again, the key to helping and not enabling is to know your child’s financial situation in addition to his or her moneymanagement history. Graduation is a time to step into adulthood.

The award recognizes the joint work for removing debris from Highway 530 after the Oso landslide. It was presented May 14 at the awards dinner at the Museum of Flight in Seattle.

Ask how much your graduate is making. If it’s a living wage, he or she needs to start living off of it.

Student loans: Should you help make the payments?

For many graduates, their student loans will be manageable. But for some, it’ll be a heavy burden. In the latter case, don’t rush in to bail them out. Let them figure out how to budget around the debt. You can help them sort through the various payment options.

I’ve got two more years before my oldest child graduates from college, but already we are having “the talk.” The one where we lay out what we are willing to do for her financially after she finishes her undergraduate studies.

There isn’t a rule book for how to help an adult child or when that help is too much. We are watching and taking notes. The level of financial support will depend on how much she is trying to help herself. (c) 2015, Washington Post Writers Group

Rights abuses hit a new low organizations, individuals and journalists who criticized the local government in the Black Sea city of Sochi.

President Vladimir V. Putin hogged international headlines last year with the seizure of Crimea, and the ongoing Ukrainian crisis. This led President Obama and other Western leaders to kick Russia from the Group of 8 economic powers and impose harsh sanctions. But this month, Secretary of State John Kerry was back in Russia, in Sochi specifically, which The New York Times reported “was widely interpreted here as a signal of surrender by the Americans — an olive branch from President Obama, and an acknowledgment that Russia and its leader are simply too important to ignore.”

They may indeed be “too important” to ignore, but that’s more because no one knows what “they” will do next, to other countries, or their own people. Americans

need to keep in mind who our government is doing business with, and determine for themselves whether Putin is more important than Russian citizens.

Russia has long been obsessed with “foreign agents,” spying on and imprisoning its own people, etc. If such actions seem de rigueur for Russia, and therefore ho hum, consider another bonechilling abuse reported by Human Rights Watch: Cancer patients are committing suicide in high numbers, most likely because they don’t have access to painkillers.

Think of that: Dying of cancer without any pain medication. That is brutal, torturous. The Human Rights Watch report says that a 2013 government decree “somewhat eased patients” access to narcotic pain medications.

However, “implementation is problematic.” USA Today reported, citing Russian media, that at least 10 cancer

patients committed suicide in February in Moscow alone.

That’s out of a total of 70 suicides in the city that month.

It’s hard to fathom that people could be suffering from cancer and not have pain relief. Here at home, 44 people a day die from overdose of prescription painkillers, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. (Most are not cancer patients.) And each day, almost 7,000 people are treated in emergency departments for using these drugs in a manner other than as directed.

While Kerry went to Russia with an olive branch, he also “made clear our deep concerns,” including Russia’s “continued arming, training, command and control of separatist forces,” the New York Times reported.

It would be appropriate to add those deep concerns: Russia’s lack of treatment for suffering cancer patients.

The letter states that under the law, the tax rate could never exceed 75 cents per $1,000 of assessed value.

That really doesn’t sound like much until you start adding all the other 30, 50 and 75 cents together that go onto your tax bill. Just this past year, my property tax after adjustment by the auditor’s office, increased by $328 per year. So you have to be careful, look and think about what you’re suggesting. That is if you own property and pay taxes. If you don’t own property you shouldn’t be suggesting anything that will cost all those who do own property!

Benefit districts that are trying to rally support, like the Fire District 1 and now your Parks and Trails District, are just added taxes. They are in my opinion nothing more than a means by which influential individuals can get gobs of money without any transparency or oversight as to where the money is being spent. They never go away or have show justification to those who are footing the bill, the tax payer.

Why is it the people in this state think they needs over 3,500 miles of trails and a park on every corner or in every neighborhood? They only get used by a fraction of the people paying the bill.

A better idea would be to charge the cost for maintenance and operation to those who actually use those parks.

This would be similar to the state parks season pass.

Wouldn’t that seem a little more fair? That way we could hire numerous individuals to process all those passes and permits, it would be a win-win.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■CLIMATE CHANGE

Propaganda can’t change reality There are two recent headlines that should have grabbed the attention, not to mention the hearts and minds, of readers worldwide. One was “Carbon dioxide increasing at record pace” and the other “Shell wins battle in war over Arctic oil.” Dieter Dans from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reports: “It’s both disturbing and daunting” when talking about carbon dioxide that hit global averages of 400.83 parts per million. The planet has not seen levels like this in over 2 million years. Couple this carbon dioxide report with the news about the Shell corporation’s great Arctic victory regarding drilling and you have a news story that should by all rights be creating headlines of concern worldwide.

What is at stake here transcends traditional news concerns and along with the prospect of nuclear annihilation stands alone as an issue if ignored or left unresolved will very likely threaten civilization as we know it. It is tragic and unconscionable that political and corporate interests in this country are spending millions upon millions of dollars to convince and placate and reassure the domestic population that their concerns are unfounded and rapidly changing climate patterns are nothing but the rantings of disillusioned liberal scientists. However, science matters — facts matter — and the continued bombardment of corporate propaganda will not alter the realities of climate change induced by the burning of fossil fuels.

It is not too late, but the window is closing. Ignoring climate change and increasing carbon dioxide levels while promoting ever more fossil fuel exploration and exploitation is a suicide pact for humanity and future generations. A reasoned position would involve acknowledging the enormity of this problem and discovering safe and clean energy alternatives while abandoning fossil fuel exploration. We actually have two very distinct choices.

We can stay on our present course, which will insure total and probably irreversible environmental collapse. Or we, as a race, can make the collective decision to safeguard the planet and future generations and embark on a clear and clean energy revolution that promises both hope and a sustained quality of life.

IN OUR VIEW | Report on Russia

While GOP presidential candidate Sen. Marco Rubio keeps going on about the wrongness of the Obama administration’s restoration of ties with Cuba, to be consistent, he should also say something about our ties with Russia, (for starters) given his concern with human rights.

A 2014 Human Rights Watch report details numerous violations that run the gamut, from enforcement of a “foreign agents” law that led to an unprecedented inspection of hundreds of nongovernmental organization, to the adoption of laws restricting LGBT rights, and freedom of expression and infringing on the right to privacy. The report says that the violations are an extension of the crackdown on civil society and government critics that began in 2012. Other abuses are linked to the preparations for the 2014 Winter Olympic Games, wherein authorities continued to intimidate and harass

Treating animals better is a must Charles Krauthammer got it right: Future generations will look back on our subjugation and abuse of animals the way that we now view human rights atrocities of the past. (May 8 column, “How we treat animals reflects on our humanity.”) We can no longer deceive ourselves that human beings are separate from other sentient beings in order to justify abusing them, much as we’ve done throughout history to human beings of different sexes, races, nationalities, religions, and intellectual abilities. Animals are like us in significant ways: They can learn languages, form complex social bonds, recognize each other’s facial features, play with friends, use tools, risk their own safety to help others, mourn deceased loved ones, and more.

Already, we are seeing our treatment of animals evolving. As Krauthammer correctly stated, the documentary “Blackfish” has caused SeaWorld to “hemorrhage customers” as people think critically about the morality of taking intelligent animals away from their homes and families and confining them in tiny tanks to perform silly tricks.

As people are confronted with the knowledge that all animals on Earth share the ability to feel love, joy, pain and fear; the walls of separation will crumble, and people will continue to make more and more compassionate choices.

Unions’ decline allowed income inequality

I

am proud to be a card carrying member of Local 32035 of the Communications Workers of America.

It was not always thus. The Washington Post is an open shop, and I dropped my membership several years ago when the union was encouraging readers to cancel their subscriptions to protest some management action.

I didn’t see DANA MILBANK much sense in paying dues to accelerate the destruction of the newspaper business.

I don’t expect to gain much personally from rejoining the union faithful, because I’m in the top decile of American wage earners that has prospered in recent years.

I signed up because income inequality, after years of worsening, has reached a crisis — and the decline in union membership is partly to blame. Rejoining the labor movement is my small, symbolic protest.

The gap in wealth and income between rich and poor is the worst since the Great Depression, and the gap between the rich and the middle class is at its highest since the government began keeping such statistics 30 years ago. After more than three decades of income growth for the wealthiest 10 percent and stagnation for everybody else, the top 3 percent now have more than twice as much wealth as the bottom 90 percent.

And Americans are angry about it. The percentage of Americans who believe you can get ahead through hard work has declined about 15 points over the last 15 years, according to polling by Gallup and the Pew Research Center.

There are many causes of growing inequality — globalization, education disparities, tax policy — but an International Monetary Fund study released in March found that the decline in union membership has been responsible for half of the rise in the share of income going to the top 10 percent of earners in advanced economies between 1980 and 2010.

Declining union membership, by weakening the bargaining power of low- and middle-income workers at both union and nonunion businesses, has increased the share of wealth going to corporate higher-ups and shareholders.

Straws in the wind suggest a building backlash. Last Tuesday, Los Angeles voters approved a $15 minimum wage, joining more than 17 states and several municipalities that have agreed to raise their minimum wages since 2013. Fastfood and retail employers, under pressure, have announced increases in low wages covering at least 2 million workers.

Organized labor, in retreat for decades, has been reasserting itself within the Democratic Party. Last week, Philadelphia Democrats chose as their next mayor Jim Kenney, who had strong union backing in the primary (and faces only token opposition in November). The comefrom-behind victory for Kenney, who had been outspent 3 to 1, follows similar long-shot wins for union-backed mayoral candidates in Boston and New York.

In Washington, D.C., pro-union Democrats, defying President Obama, put up a tougher-than-expected fight on Trade Promotion Authority legislation in the Senate, and it’s not clear that free-trade bills will pass the House.

Union membership, thanks to the likes of Scott Walker, continues its long decline, but impressions of labor have improved.

Just four years ago, a plurality of Americans had an unfavorable view of trade unions, but now the impression is 48 percent favorable to 39 percent unfavorable, according to Pew. Across the country, some 5 million workers are negotiating contracts this year, the largest number for collective bargaining in several years.

“They’ve been beaten down so much over the years that these American workers thought not losing was winning, so they didn’t have any expectations,” AFLCIO President Richard Trumka told a group of Post journalists recently. “They’re getting way past that right now and they have expectations, they have demands, they have beliefs that they’re entitled to more.”

Trumka likens the moment to the Pullman strike of 1894, when workers, seeing their earnings shrink to starvation levels after an economic depression, finally pushed back. “That’s like the point where we’re at right now in this country: People are p—-ed,” Trumka said.

That may be wishful thinking. But the obscene gap between the rich and everybody else pushed me to reconcile with the union movement. My late grandfather was a labor lawyer and chief counsel to

were among the crowds lining Olympic Avenue in Arlington for the city’s Memorial Day parade.

They wore T-shirts with their son’s picture on it and the words “Forever our hero.”

“It’s touching to see that people are recognizing our fallen, and they’re not forgotten,” Adan Gonzales said.

The parade kicked off under gray skies Monday morning. Some spectators waved flags from the crowded sidewalks as American Legion members and Boy Scouts marched by. Some were

somber and wiped a tear or two from their eyes.

Others laughed and cheered.

The Arlington High School marching band gave the parade a beat.

They stopped beside the city’s Legion Park, and played the National Anthem.

The whole thing was over quickly. Most paradegoers dispersed. A handful lingered at the park, home to the city’s war memorial.

The Gonzaleses headed home, holding a fluttering American flag.

“I didn’t want him to go (to war), but I respected his decision,” Adan

Katy Robertson, of Oak Harbor, watches as the annual Memorial Day Parade in Arlington rolls by Monday.

They raised their son and daughter in Bakersfield, California. Last year, they moved to Arlington for health reasons and because they have family

in the area.

Yolanda Gonzales said her son found himself in the Marine Corps, and that he joined because he believed in fighting for freedom.

Forget the politics about the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, his father said, Adan Jr. was willing to die for the “American spirit.”

“He loved our country’s diversity and freedoms,” he said.

His son wanted to bring that overseas, he said.

Before he left for Afghanistan, he studied the Pashtun language spoken by many Afghanis, and their culture.

Adan Jr.’s concern for Afghanistan’s children, no doubt, was inspired by his three young children — two girls and a boy, who was 12 months old when his father died.

Yolanda and Adan Gonzales have a scrapbook of photographs, newspaper clippings and other keepsakes from their son’s

death. At the back is a child’s drawing on a scrap of lined yellow paper.

Adan Jr.’s oldest daughter drew it a couple weeks before he died. She was 7 at the time.

There are two tables piled with items. They’re carefully labeled: sandwiches, chips, crackers, drinks, presents, cards.

There are three figures.

The largest figure is by a door. It’s labeled “daddy.”

The other two — a boy and girl — are under a banner that reads “Welcome Home.”

Mom of fallen soldier builds retreat for grieving families The News Tribune

PORT ANGELES — A heavy door creaks and Betsy Schultz steps into a century-old cottage littered with workbenches and plywood.

She looks past the construction and sees a home where grieving families of fallen military service members will come to heal.

Here is the oversize kitchen where widows and their children may one day gather amid pleasant tastes and smells to share memories of their loved ones.

And here is the fireplace where Schultz will commemorate the day a bomb in Afghanistan killed her son, Capt. Joseph Schultz.

A gold star and a paw print will be etched in the brickwork, a tribute to one of the soldiers and the military canine who died alongside the Green Beret from Sacramento, California.

This home, she says, will belong to the 6,835 families who’ve lost someone in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, including the 316 fallen service members who served at Joint Base Lewis-McChord.

“They’re going to come and make bonds that are going to last forever,” said Schultz, 64.

For four years, she has labored to turn the bed and breakfast she used to run as a business into a foundation that will host five-day retreats for grieving military families. She’s pursued her vision to create the Captain Joseph House despite personal setbacks, such as a stroke and heart surgery.

Now, she sees the project as almost done. All she needs is a little more money, a little more help from the Vietnam veterans who’ve been working day in and day out, one more connection to make her vision real.

“I have faith in Betsy, and she’s not giving up,” said Jeff Winston, 67, a lifelong friend from Carmichael, California, who is the treasurer of the nonprofit that Schultz established for her endeavor.

Schultz’s plan is to give mourning families room to relax, clear their heads and focus on their families without worrying about bills, errands and the rest of their daily routines.

While her guests visit, she hopes they’ll make connections with other families who’ve confronted the same losses.

Each trip would put two or three families in the home simultaneously.

“They’ll come together for a week and leave here differently,” said Army Lt. Col. Celia FlorCruz, who has embraced the project since she and her husband, Maj. Gen. Kenneth Dahl of Joint Base Lewis-McChord, met Schultz last year.

“We all feel pain and loss,” FlorCruz said. “You’ve got to figure out a way to fill yourself back up.”

Schultz calls the project the Captain Joseph House as a memorial to the 36-year-old son she lost on May 29, 2011, when an explosion killed him and two fellow Green Berets in Central Afghanistan.

He was a remarkable person by any measure.

He worked as an aide in former California Gov. Gray Davis’ administration after graduating from the University of Oregon, then went on to work in the State Department.

His mother’s plan came to her in the early days after his death. She felt comforted by other mourning families she met at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware, where she traveled to meet her son’s remains.

“It’s a healing thing to talk with families” about the shared experience of

losing a loved one in combat, Betsy Schultz said.

She felt she could make a space to nurture those relationships in the underused bed and breakfast she’d bought a decade earlier after ending a career in social work in Sacramento.

The inn isn’t open yet, but she already has some proof that her concept can work. Two young widows spent a week with her in her home at the northern tip of the Olympic Peninsula as a trial-run in 2013.

Both found the experience Schultz hoped to offer.

“When I went to (Schultz’s) house, we talked all night. They understood.

Over here if I talk to someone, it’s like they don’t get it,” said Thania Sayne , 33, of Reno, Nevada. Her husband, Sgt. Timothy Sayne, was killed in Afghanistan four years ago.

Sayne met Schultz at a Memorial Day service in 2012 at Arlington National

Cemetery. Schultz brought her to Port Angeles to spend a week with Elisa Apolinar, whose husband, Sgt. 1st Class Martin Apolinar, died in the attack that killed Schultz’s son.

“We had a lot in common in that sense, but everyone has a different way of grieving,” said Apolinar, who has remained close to the Special Forces community since her husband’s death.

Over the week, the widows took in the Puget Sound scenery and shared stories while their children played. They’re still in touch two years later.

Apolinar left believing other families would benefit from the same opportunity.

“It’s going to be an enriching experience for families,” Apolinar, 32, said.

“It’s a memorable experience, something that will take you out of your comfort zone and help you live life again.”

PAUL SCHOENFELD FAMILY TALK

How to find your balance I

have been living in the Spain for the past two months, first in Barcelona and then Seville, working on a book and experiencing life in a foreign country.

International travel is wonderful, but it also creates lots of interesting daily challenges for travelers — I don’t speak any Spanish, had no idea how anything works here and despite modern technology, got lost all of the time.

The most recent crisis was realizing that I couldn’t call my credit card company. How do you make an international collect call? You would think I had to swim the English Channel.

After trying several approaches, beating my head against the Spanish wall, I was ready to scream. I was wringing my hands in despair.

I went for a walk, took more than a couple of deep breaths, and realized that I just needed to roll up my sleeves and find a solution. I systematically tried a few ideas, and finally one worked. Voila! I was able to talk to the credit card company. But in this entire process, I realized some things about our human condition in the middle of this ocean of change we call the 21st century.

We are overdependent on modern technology. Has your cellphone ever gone on the blink? Your computer stopped working? Your Internet browser froze in the middle of a critical search? God forbid the electricity goes out — we’re back in the Middle Ages! Modern conveniences do have their place, but we need to recognize that they are not the end point of our lives. We don’t have to turn back the clock to consider how we could live a life without wireless. Putting all of our eggs into the technological basket is a mistake.

What happens when you slam into a wall? You’re cruising along, everything is good, and then you hit a wall that’s standing in your way to where you want to go. Do you get angry? Frustrated? Wring your hands? Get a headache? Pitch a fit? Or all of the above? Your workplace buys a new computer system, your spouse wants to move, your kid gets caught smoking pot at school, your car breaks down, your computer’s hard drive crashes, you bounce a check, the IRS wants to look more closely at your tax return or one of your parents get sick.

It’s not uncommon for things to go upside down, if only temporarily. Most of us react, “Why me? Why is this happening now?

Everything was so good. What if I don’t know what to do or how to do it?” It’s natural to feel frustrated, angry, put out, and helpless.

It’s not about keeping your cool; it’s about getting it back. When we hit a bump or a wall, it’s natural to get upset.

But what’s most important is that we figure out how to get our peace back. Go for a walk, pray, talk to a friend or breathe.

Helping others overcome Gym owner works to inspire others after his own health struggles

By Debra Vaughn Special to The Herald

People usually get into the fitness business to either make money or because they love to work out.

Mike Liberato says he got into the business to help.

Liberato, 44, is the owner of Team Fitness in Lake Stevens, one of the largest gyms in Snohomish County.

Sure, he wants to run a business and make a profit.

He loves to work out. Liberato also wants to see his patrons succeed and improve their lives in every way.

That’s why he designed the 25,000-square-foot facility to include not only a gym and workout machines, but also a physical therapy clinic, a chiropractor’s office, a nutritionist, a smoothie bar and a spa. There’s a full

complement of dairy- and glutenfree health products for sale.

That focus on total well-being comes from his own experience.

At 15, Liberato went from star wrestler to intensive care at what is now Providence Regional Medical Center Everett in a few days.

He remembers going with his mom to the grocery store and finding it hard to push the cart. Later that night, he had trouble turning the knob on the television.

The next morning he planned to run 5 miles but he felt so

fatigued he couldn’t — that was unusual for Liberato, a tough athlete who normally pushed through anything.

After three days of tests at the hospital, doctors finally diagnosed Liberato with a rare autoimmune disorder called Guillain-Barre syndrome, afflicting only about one person in 100,000, according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. It can happen to anybody at any age.

The disease attacked his peripheral nervous system, and he was soon paralyzed from the neck down.

No one knows why the disease strikes some people and not others. It’s not contagious. The outlook can be grim.

“They didn’t know if I could walk again,” he said.

Bringing the belly back to the Gastropub

S

hhhh ... don’t tell Gordon Ramsay.

There’s going to be some belly dancing action inside the brick walls of Prohibition Gastropub.

Uh-oh. What’s up with that?

It has been more than two years since the mouthy “Kitchen Nightmares” chef came to Everett to save Rishi Brown’s struggling downtown restaurant. He changed the name, revamped the menu and scolded the owner, who’d been mixing her belly dancing passion with business.

“He said my business was not a belly dance, it was a belly flop,” Rishi said. “He made me solemnly swear I would never have belly dancing here again.”

He did his usual swearing as well in the Rishi-Ramsay show that went on behind closed doors at 1414 Hewitt Ave., protected by a base camp of white trucks and security guards keeping fans at bay.

The weeklong makeover itself in December 2012 was a stressful nightmare for Rishi, whose flaws and failings were exposed.

Rishi has only good things to say about that 2012 nightmare on Hewitt. She calls Ramsay the best chef ever and credits him with saving the eatery she opened in 2008.

Seems he’s pretty sweet on her as well. He invited her to Tinseltown to the April 22 party celebrating his 500th show taping at Fox TV (#ramsay500), where he’s gone from cussing out restaurant owners to coddling kids in his new series “MasterChef Junior.”

“We were one of only three restaurants that got invited,” Rishi said. “It was fantastic to see him. He told me he was proud of me for following through with his recommendations.”

What did Ramsay about her upcoming belly dancing event?

“I didn’t tell him,” she said.

“He didn’t ask.”

Parents push back on baby shower

DAILY CROSSWORD

Adapted from a recent online discussion.

Hi, Carolyn: My husband and I are expecting our first child. My mother insists on hosting a baby shower (despite my discomfort at having a family member host). I told mom that I wanted it to be co-ed — I don’t see why men should be excluded from the celebration of new life.

My mom and dad are appalled, have gone behind my back to get my husband to lobby me (he refuses), and now are just proceeding as if I never even mentioned this.

I have trouble picking battles, in that I tend to pick all battles. Is this one to insist upon, or should I just go with the flow? I may be bringing some baggage from our wedding (which they similarly steamrolled).

— Gender Battler “Mom, Dad: Men come or I don’t.”

Picking battles becomes a lot easier when you realize that many are battles only if you allow them to be. You’re the guest of honor and you’re fine with no shower at all, right? So you can skip fighting and jump straight to victory. Recognize when you’re the boss, then be the boss.

Re: Shower: The mom might just go ahead and plan the single-sex shower.

Then when the guest of honor doesn’t show up, the majority will think she was being a drama queen about the co-ed shower and won’t help with the new baby.

To be clear, I’m with the letterwriter. I’ve just upset a lot of my extended family by insisting on being “difficult.”

Then the parents can opt not to host the shower. That satisfies their right to decide.

They don’t get to overrule the guest of honor on what she’d want and throw the party they want to throw. The parents aren’t celebrating themselves.

And, your longer-guest-list argument is apples and oranges. The hosts determine a head count, and the couple choose the heads.

Again, if there’s disagreement, then the host can choose not to host.

Wife wants to join the woman she loves Dear Abby: I’m a 48-year-old woman. I have known I was gay since I was 14. No one knows because I never acted on it until I met “Bob,” my current common-law husband of 25 years. I fell in love with his sister, “Janelle,” back then. We kissed a few times and fell deeply in love, but because we didn’t want to hurt Bob, we ended what we had.

Through all these years my feelings and Janelle’s have never changed. We love each other and want the chance to be together that we were denied back then.

I have given Bob 25 faithful years. He has a temper and is vindictive. I want out of this relationship to be with his sister. I have asked her to marry me, and she agreed. Please advise me how to tell my husband I want out and want to be with his sister. — Wants Out Back East Dear Wants Out: Considering that Bob has a temper and can be vindictive, I suggest you do it in stages. The first is to tell him that you are not happy in the marriage and haven’t been for a long time.

Depending upon your talent as an actress for the last quarter-century, he may or may not be surprised.

Then it will be time to tell him that you have known for a long time that you were more attracted to women than to men.

Because you can’t predict how he will react, do it in the presence of someone else — but NOT Janelle.

Because there can be legal ramifications regarding a commonlaw marriage, you should discuss this with a lawyer before telling Bob you want a divorce. Only after you have left him and several RIP HAYWIRE

Dear Abby: My wife and I are in our 50s and have legal custody of three of our grandchildren, who are between the ages of 3 and 8 years old. We have been raising them since birth.

My wife is nearing the end of her battle with cancer. My family — my mother, siblings and son — keep asking me what I’m going to do when my wife passes away. They say they know people who would adopt the children. I don’t wish to be nasty, but I need to let them know that I am able to take care of my grandchildren.

Can you please tell me how to tell my family that I can raise my grandchildren without hurting their feelings like they have hurt mine when they mention adoption? — Hurt Grandfather In Pennsylvania Dear Hurt: Yes, the words to use are: “When you say that to me, it hurts me deeply, so please don’t say it again.

TELEVISION

Here come the judges: ‘AGT’ returns tonight Associated Press

“They keep telling people it’s the 10th anniversary. But it’s the fourth season, as far as I’m concerned,” says Howard Stern, who joined “America’s Got Talent” as a judge in 2012.

That’s what you’d expect Howard to say.

But quickly he adds that with “AGT” launching what everyone but Stern would consider its 10th season (Tuesday at 8 p.m. on NBC), he’s having a ball with fellow judges Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum and Mel B. “I may be the most important judge in the history of the world, but secretly I’ll tell you, I’m glad they’re there,” he confides during a recent interview.

Everyone remembers the uproar when Stern was brought aboard this family-friendly talent competition: Wasn’t he a legendary “shock jock,” a bad-boy superstar on SiriusXM Radio who would say anything to get a reaction?

Maybe, but Stern, now 61, thought he would

make an ideal judge, that his long show-biz career (wasn’t he the King of All Media?) would serve him well in evaluating each act. More to the point: He was already a big “AGT” fan.

“It helps when it isn’t just a paycheck for a judge, when they were a fan of the show even before they were getting paid to be on it,” says Jason Raff, an executive producer of “AGT” since its premiere in June 2006.

“It’s a hard show to judge,” he says, noting its lack of any rules — any type of act with any number of performers of any age is welcome.

Like Stern, Mandel was an “AGT” devotee before he joined the judges’ panel in 2010.

“I watched every episode for the four years before that,” Mandel says.

“Whatever you see me saying and doing is what I was doing from the couch in my living room, in my underpants, before. Now I have the best seat in the house.”

And though he has to wear pants, “the show provides them,” he says with a laugh.

Celebrity judges (from left) Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum, Howard Stern and Melanie “Mel B.” Brown arrive at “America’s Got Talent” auditions in New York in 2013. The 10th season premieres tonight.

If the judges are having a good time, host Nick Cannon is having a blast.

“I figure I’m the guy who’s having the most fun,” says Cannon, the “AGT” ringmaster since 2009. “It’s the best summer job ever, even though there’s a lot of responsibility.”

Responsibility like

a great job,” says Cannon.

“There are seven people in my ear screaming while I’m having a good time, reacting to each moment to keep the show going.”

But it isn’t all fun and games, even for the judges: careers are in their hands, and they know it.

“I thought I would

do one season, then, ‘The joke’s over, I did it, Howard Stern on a familyfriendly show, ha-ha-ha.’

But I ended up enjoying it and, I swear to you, I take my role on it so seriously!”

He thinks that’s evident to viewers.

“After the first year, people decided, ‘Well, the guy’s thoughtful, he’s constructive. He wasn’t sitting there beating people over the head with a stick.’ You might think that Satan has no feelings, but it turns out Satan’s very, very sensitive: I have the thinnest skin ever. If someone criticizes me, I totally fall apart. So I keep that in mind on the show.”

Meanwhile, he figures he has proven to everyone, including himself, that he can be a team player.

“That was a big ego adjustment for me. I’m so narcissistic that I think my opinion is the only thing that counts, and I really had to put that in check.

Sometimes it’s difficult to sit there while Heidi, Mel and Howie do their thing.

But that’s the beauty of it. And I particularly like when we argue about talent. I think that’s so interesting.”

BOOKS

Chelsea Clinton’s ‘It’s Your World’ coming this fall Another Clinton is becoming an author.

Chelsea Clinton, the daughter of former President Bill Clinton and current presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton, has a deal with Penguin Young Readers for “It’s Your World: Get Informed, Get Inspired & Get Going!” the publisher announced Wednesday.

The book aims to inspire young people to “change the world” and will cover issues including poverty and gender equality, according to Penguin. Publication is scheduled for Sept. 15.

“In ‘It’s Your World,’ I try to explain what I think are some of the biggest challenges facing our world today, particularly for young people,” Chelsea Clinton said in a statement issued by Penguin.

“I also explore some of the solutions to those challenges and share stories of inspiring kids and

teenagers doing amazing work to help people and our planet have brighter and healthier futures.”

Penguin said the idea for the book originated with Jill Santopolo, executive editor of the Penguin imprint Philomel Books.

A spokesman for Chelsea Clinton, Kamyl Bazbaz, said she will donate all the proceeds to “charities of her choosing that focus on the issues addressed in the book,” including the family charity, the Clinton Foundation.

Clinton’s parents have each released million-selling memoirs centered on their White House years.

Their other books include Hillary Clinton’s memoir on her years as secretary of state, “Hard Choices,” and a publication by Bill Clinton that has a theme not unlike Chelsea’s book, “Giving: How Each of Us Can Change the World.”

Schoenfeld From Page B1

It’s important to learn how to calm yourself down when adversity, big or small, strikes.

Frequently, it’s the mosquitos that drive you crazy. When you’re upset, it’s impossible to approach your challenge with a “big mind” — everything becomes small.

Roll up your sleeves.

Once you regain your calm, it’s much easier to roll up your sleeves and try different approaches to solve your problem. If one thing doesn’t work try another, until you find an adequate solution.

Life is change. Nothing stays the same for very long. Don’t get too attached to what has become familiar or comfortable. Life has a way of changing on a dime. Remembering this simple point helps you ride the waves, big or small, whenever they crash over you.

Dr. Paul Schoenfeld is Director of The Everett Clinic’s Center for Behavioral Health and has been a clinical psychologist for more than 30 years. Read more of his blog at the Family Talk Blog at www.everettclinic.com/ family-talk-blog.

Whether it was naivety or sheer stubbornness, Liberato was determined to get better as quickly as possible.

He focused on the solution and not the problem.

He poured his energy into rehabilitating his body. After six months he was still in a wheelchair.

“I used to go on 10-mile wheelchair rides,” he said.

“My thinking was, ‘OK, if I’m going to be paralyzed, then I’m going to the Olympics in wheelchair racing.’ I was at the point where I realized I couldn’t change the cards I was dealt. I was going to try to have the highest quality of life possible.”

After two years of hard work, Liberato was able to walk without braces and a cane. His lower legs never fully recovered.

Nearly two decades later he can feel his feet and calves but can’t move them normally. His muscles below the knees have atrophied.

Yet he can walk, run and even teach kick boxing. He remains trim and fit. Liberato used that experience to choose a career in fitness.

He opened Team Fitness at 1109 Frontier Circle E, No. A, in Lake Stevens in 2002.

Liberato wants his clients to feel this is a second home, the place they’d spend the most time after home and

work. He encourages his staff to greet every person by name so they don’t feel like a number.

He married his sweetheart, Cheri, a nutritionist he met at his gym. They have an infant daughter, Isabella, whom he often straps to his chest and carries around the gym.

Even after a dozen years

in the business, there are still plenty of challenges.

Liberato recently shut down another Team Fitness gym in Snohomish.

While the Lake Stevens location is flourishing, Liberato says his Snohomish location never made money and he suspects it’s just a different demographic.

His greatest challenge

in Lake Stevens is finding good-quality staff for the amount he can pay them.

He currently employs about 70 people, most of them are part-time staff.

The fitness industry business model generally relies on selling memberships to people who don’t show up.

Liberato wants his members to show up and work out.

Liberato says it’s typical for only about 5 percent of a gym’s members to actively work out. He says 15 percent to 20 percent of his members come regularly.

“I try to make things as easy as possible for members,” he said. “There’s enough things in the world to keep them from working out.”

Robinson Cano has a pair of RBI singles as the Mariners beat Tampa Bay 4-1.

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Here was a hint Monday night of what a resurgent Robinson Cano could mean to the Seattle Mariners.

Cano delivered a pair of RBI singles that proved decisive in a 4-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field. They were his first RBI in nearly two weeks.

“It’s just good when you’re able to do your job with men in scoring position,” he said. “That’s what helps you to win games. For me, it’s been a struggle with men in scoring position.

“Hopefully, it turned today.”

There might not be anything the Mariners are hoping for more.

“The bat speed is back,” manager Lloyd McClendon said. “He got a couple of big hits. There’s nothing like positive results. This guy’s track record is so good, you know he’s going to hit.

“You’re just waiting on when.”

Cano’s first RBI single keyed a two-run first inning against Tampa Bay starter Jake Odorizzi, who allowed nothing more in his seven innings. The Mariners See MARINERS, Page C5

EVERETT — Though this was his first Snohomish County Amateur appearance, Kevin Beavers of Seattle showed all the poise and polish of a tournament veteran during Monday afternoon’s final round.

Beavers, a Boeing engineer who is also an assistant golf coach at Kamiak High School, shrugged off two early bogeys and went on to shoot a 2-underpar 70 at Legion Memorial Golf Course, putting the finishing touches to a three-day tourney total of 5-under 211. It gave him a comfortable six-stroke victory in the 85th annual County Am. “This is very cool to me,” said the 31-year-old Beavers, the only player to shoot under par all three rounds. “It really is a confidence booster.”

pressure in the past, and it’s been a long battle to get to this point.”

The win was significant for Beavers for other reasons, too.

It was his first career victory in a three-round event, and it was also the first time he had won after taking a lead into the final round.

But more importantly, he wanted the victory to honor the memory of his parents, who both died of cancer in 2012.

“I really tried to play hard for them today,” he said. With a sizeable lead “it was so easy for me to get complacent on those last few holes. I really had to push hard, and that was a really big motivating factor for me to keep me going and to not give up the last few holes.”

His day was not without flaws.

HOUSTON — James Harden was not happy after a poor performance in Houston’s embarrassing loss to Golden State in Game 3.

Coach Kevin McHale told him the best thing to do was take that frustration out on the other team.

Harden did just that, scoring a playoff career-high 45 points as the Rockets led from start to finish to avoid elimination in the Western Conference finals with a 128-115 victory over the Warriors on Monday night.

“James had a phenomenal game,” McHale said.

The Rockets had a big lead after tying a playoff record with 45 points in the first quarter before Stephen Curry landed on his head in a nasty spill midway through the second and missed about 12 minutes.

Curry said he went through the concussion protocol before returning.

“It was all minor stuff compared to how it looked,” Curry said. “But I’ll get some good rest (Monday night) and be ready to go ... since it happened to now, nothing has gotten worse.”

Sources: Brady’s appeal delayed Associated Press Two people familiar with the situation tell The Associated Press that Tom Brady’s appeal of his four-game suspension for his role in the deflated footballs scandal won’t be heard by Wednesday’s 10-day deadline.

Both sources spoke on condition of anonymity Monday because no date for the appeal has been set. The collective bargaining agreement calls for it to be heard within 10 days. However, the league and the players’ union can agree on delaying the hearing. The two sides don’t agree on much else.

The union asked Commissioner Roger Goodell to recuse himself from hearing the appeal because it said he lacked impartiality and he would be called as a witness.

Goodell will not withdraw from what he considers his responsibility of hearing the appeal, according to several people with knowledge of the decision.

Troy Vincent, the league’s executive vice president of football operations, handed down the suspension to three-time Super Bowl MVP Brady, one of the sport’s biggest stars. Vincent also fined the Patriots $1 million and stripped them of a first-round draft pick next year and a fourth-rounder in 2017.

Patriots owner Robert Kraft said last week he will not appeal the team’s penalties.

PARIS — A loss by Venus Williams in the first round at a Grand Slam is no longer the rarity it once was.

And, as it happens, the woman who beat Williams at the French Open on Tuesday, Sloane Stephens, is making a concerted effort, at her coach’s behest, to focus less on who is on the other side of the net.

Still, it was hard not to see the 22-year-old Stephens’ 7-6 (5), 6-1 dismissal of seven-time major champion Williams, who at 34 was the oldest woman in the field, as a statement about the directions their respective careers are heading.

For the 15th-seeded Williams, it was her second opening defeat in three years at Roland Garros.

It also was the fifth time in the last 13 Grand Slam tournaments she’s entered that she exited in the first round. Before that stretch, it happened once in 37 majors.

Williams didn’t show up for a news conference, meaning she could face a fine. Instead, she issued a five-sentence statement that read in part: “When you arrive at any tournament, you hope you will have a chance to work your way into the event, but I didn’t have that opportunity — she just played better than me today.”

That is true.

The 40th-ranked Stephens, who has reached the French Open’s fourth round the last three years, was consistently strong from the baseline, making only 14 unforced errors to Williams’ 30.

“I want her to play with a sense of joy ... and play everything as well as she can, relentlessly, and not be concerned with the result.

Let the result take care of itself.

And she did a good job of that today,” said Stephens’ coach, Nick Saviano.

“I have noticed that missing. ... For any athlete, in any sport, at any high level, they must have that passion and the joy to perform,” Saviano explained.

“Otherwise, it becomes onerous.

It becomes too much of a job, so to speak.”

The biggest victory of Stephens’ career came at the 2013 Australian Open, when she defeated Williams’ younger

Venus Williams gestures after missing a return during her first-round loss to Sloane Stephens at the French Open on Tuesday.

French Open at a glance PARIS — A look at the French Open on Monday: Men’s seeded winners: No. 3 Andy Murray, No. 4 Tomas Berdych, No. 12 Gilles Simon, No. 13 Gael Monfils, No. 17 David Goffin, No. 18 Tommy Robredo, No. 21 Pablo Cuevas, No. 27 Bernard Tomic, No. 28 Fabio Fognini, No. 29 Nick Kyrgios, No. 31 Viktor Troicki, No. 32 Fernando Verdasco.

Women’s seeded losers: No. 14 Agnieszka Radwanska, No. 15 Venus Williams, No. 22 Barbora Strycova.

sister Serena en route to the semifinals.

This was the first time Stephens had faced Venus Williams, other than beating her in an

exhibition as a teen.

“But,” Stephens said, “I don’t think that really counts.”

Now Stephens joins Lindsay Davenport as the only

Americans to have beaten each Williams at a Grand Slam tournament.

Two other seeded women lost Monday: No. 14 Agnieszka Radwanska, who was the runner-up at Wimbledon in 2012, and No. 22 Barbora Strycova. Two seeded men exited, too, including No. 11 Feliciano Lopez, who now has 10 first-round exits in 15 appearances in Paris.

Winners included No. 3 Andy Murray, who played with his wedding ring tied to his shoe and improved to 11-0 since getting married, and defending women’s champion Maria Sharapova.

She was jeered off Court Philippe Chatrier for skipping the customary post-match interview, citing a cold. Sharapova coughed repeatedly while getting past Kaia Kanepi 6-2, 6-4, and when asked later about not talking to the fans, she said their reaction was “absolutely normal ... but I’ve got to do what I have to do.”

Stephens was reserved during her on-court interview, referring to Williams as “someone we all looked up to for so long,” but hardly celebrating as if this meant a lot to her.

“I think she’s pleased. But she wants to perform well every day.

She doesn’t want to make a big deal out of one match,” Saviano said. “And she shouldn’t.”

Stephens — whose late father, John Stephens, was the 1988 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year with the New England Patriots, and whose mother, Sybil Smith, was Boston University’s first AllAmerican in women’s swimming — was composed throughout the match, finding the spots for her deep groundstrokes.

OK, truth be told, she did lose her composure once.

Holding a break point in the second set’s second game, Stephens was preparing to receive a serve when the ball hit by Williams startled a pigeon, which flapped its wings and took off.

Stephens, in turn, was startled and released quite a shriek.

Instead of an ace, the point was replayed, and Williams flubbed a shot to get broken.

“It was a very dramatic moment, I would say,” Stephens said with a smile. “First of all, I didn’t know what it was.

I thought it was way closer to me than it actually was. So that was ... why I screamed so loud.”

Bears release McDonald following domestic violence arrest

By Kristin J. Bender And Andrew Seligman Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO — The Chicago Bears released defensive end Ray McDonald following a domestic violence arrest in Northern California that police say stemmed from an assault on a woman who was holding a baby.

McDonald was taken into custody at 7 a.m. Monday on suspicion of domestic violence and child endangerment, Santa Clara police Lt. Kurt Clarke said.

Police say the assault happened at his home in Santa Clara. He was found about three hours later at a home in San Jose and arrested.

Police did not disclose if the woman or the baby were injured.

returning came on a 3-pointer that got Golden State within six points with less than 81⁄2 minutes remaining. But Harden, who had 17 points in the fourth quarter, scored the next seven as part of 10 straight by Houston to push the lead to 114-98.

“I always want to take it out on my opponent in a good way,” Harden said. “Just being aggressive, taking shots, getting to the basket, not really forcing anything and allowing the game to come to me.”

Klay Thompson had 24 points and Curry added 23 for Golden State, which moved a win away from its first trip to the NBA Finals since 1975 after routing Houston 115-80 on Saturday night to take a 3-0 lead.

But the Warriors couldn’t put the Rockets away and will

a statement Monday afternoon about the decision to let McDonald go.

“We believe in second chances, but when we signed Ray we were very clear what our expectations were if he was to remain a Bear,” General Manager Ryan Pace said in the statement.

“He was not able to meet the standard, and the decision was made to release him.”

Bears guard Kyle Long quickly reacted to the move by tweeting “Good riddance.”

Chicago signed McDonald to a one-year contract in late March knowing it was a gamble given his history of legal issues.

Chairman George McCaskey even acknowledged at the time that he initially told Pace not to go after him. But McCaskey came away impressed from a face-to-face conversation that

he described as “very candid, very forthright” and “difficult” after McDonald paid his way to Chicago.

McCaskey talked to McDonald’s parents but didn’t talk to any lawyers involved in McDonald’s cases or the accusers.

He cited a league investigation and said: “An alleged victim I think much like anybody else who has a bias in a situation there’s a certain amount of discounting what they have to say.

But our personnel department had done its work looking into his background and the incidents and we had the benefit of two coaches who had been with him with the 49ers.

“I spoke with Vic Fangio and came away very impressed with what Vic had to say about him, that he’s well-liked by his teammates, by his coaches, his strong

work ethic. That he’s considered a leader on the field and speaking to Vic and Ray especially I was convinced that he’s sufficiently motivated to make this work.”

In December, the San Francisco 49ers released the 30-year-old, citing a “pattern of poor decision-making.”

In letting him go late in the season, 49ers General Manager Trent Baalke said, “Ray’s demonstrated a pattern of poor decision-making that has led to multiple distractions to this organization and this football team that really can no longer be tolerated.”

His release from San Francisco came just a month after the Santa Clara County district attorney’s office announced it had declined to file charges against McDonald in a separate domestic violence investigation.

try again at home in Game 5 on Wednesday night.

Houston bounced back from a 3-1 deficit to the Clippers in the conference semifinals. But they face a much bigger challenge in this series, as no team in NBA history has won a playoff series after trailing 3-0.

Dwight Howard had 14 points and 12 rebounds, and received a flagrant 1 foul early in the third quarter after throwing an elbow at Andrew Bogut’s head. He would be suspended by accumulation of flagrant foul points if the NBA upgrades it to a flagrant 2 after review.

“I hope not,” Howard said when asked about that possibility. “But there’s nothing I can do about it at this point. It’s never my intention to hurt anybody on the floor. My reaction was to try to get him off me, but I can’t react that way.”

The Warriors made 20 3-pointers and Houston had 17 to set an NBA record for most

3-pointers combined in a playoff game.

The Warriors used the HackA-Shaq technique on Josh Smith and got two 3-pointers from Curry to go on a 10-2 run to get within 10 with 4 minutes remaining. A dunk by Andre Iguodala got them within eight with about 2 minutes left, but Harden answered with a 3-pointer to shut the door.

Curry was injured after he jumped in the air as Trevor Ariza was about to go up for a shot. Ariza saw him and stopped abruptly, causing Curry to be upended in midair when he crashed into Ariza’s shoulder.

His head hit the court and it propelled him up and back onto the floor, where he remained for several minutes.

Curry looked dazed as he was attended to before slowly getting up and walking off the court.

“I saw him kind of flip over ... Ariza,” Golden State coach Steve Kerr said. “Obviously that’s

always scary.”

Ariza didn’t realize who it was that sailed over him until the play was over.

“I was just trying to pump fake and get somebody off their feet,” Ariza said. “I didn’t know that he flipped over ... it wasn’t intentional or anything like that.”

Curry was called for a foul on the play and Ariza made both shots to extend Houston’s lead to 57-36 with about six minutes until halftime.

Thompson picked up the slack with Curry out, hitting four 3-pointers in a 23-9 run that get the Warriors within 66-59 with about 30 seconds left in the first half. But Jason Terry hit a 3 as the shot clock expired to put Houston up 69-59 at halftime.

The Rockets led by nine when Curry re-entered the game midway through the third quarter.

He shot an airball on his first shot after returning and his second try was blocked by Terrence Jones.

Making the most of a tough break

A little over a month after breaking his collarbone at the Larry Eason Invitational, Meadowdale hurdler Christapherson Grant is back and hungry for a championship

By Rich Myhre Herald Writer

LYNNWOOD — In his senior year at Meadowdale High School, hurdler Christapherson Grant was looking for a track and field season with no frustrations, no disappointments and no bad breaks.

He got all of those on one fateful afternoon — and that last one literally.

At the Larry Eason Invitational in Snohomish on April 18, Grant was running in the 300-meter intermediate hurdle final. He was in second place as he reached the home stretch, trailing Aiden Basco of Mount Rainier High School by a few strides but also gaining ground.

And then disaster.

In his bid to overtake Basco, Grant went to a desperate sprint, which caused him to lose his even stride. He ended up too close to the next-to-last hurdle as he started to leap and his foot caught the underside of the top board, which sent him sprawling.

He tried to break his fall by extending his right hand, but what broke instead was his collarbone as he tumbled to the track.

And it was no mere hairline crack either. The bone had snapped, leaving two pieces with jagged ends barely touching.

The next day a doctor told Grant he would be out 6-8 weeks, meaning he would miss the rest of the season, including the upcoming state championships.

And at that point, Grant said ruefully, “it was like, ‘Good-bye dreams.’”

But with the same determination that has helped him become one of the state’s top track athletes, Grant vowed to return. He

avoided pain pills after being told they would slow his healing. And despite having his right arm in a restrictive sling, he tried to stay in shape by regularly riding a stationary bicycle.

On May 13, less than a month after his injury, he got a reluctant OK from his doctor to resume running. That same night he ran in Western Conference 3A South qualifying races in both the 110 high hurdles and 300 intermediate hurdles, and two nights later he won league championships in both races.

Last Friday night Grant qualified for state by winning district titles in the same two races. His intermediate hurdles time of 38.40 at the district meet is the state’s top 3A mark this season, while his time of 14.06 in the high hurdles from a dual meet in March is the state’s top time for all classes.

Grant’s accomplishments this season are remarkable, not only

because of his injury, but also because of where he started three years ago. As a freshman he finished well back in varsity races.

He progressed enough to qualify for state in the high hurdles as a sophomore and junior, but failed both times to qualify for finals.

Particularly in his junior season, Grant had much higher hopes for the state meet. “But I choked so bad and it was really disappointing,” he said.

So last summer Grant began a rigorous training regimen, both in the weight room and on the track.

“I didn’t want my senior year to be a bust,” he explained. “I didn’t want to be saying, ‘Oh, I should done (more work) during the summer.’ I wanted to give as much effort as I could. And I was really hard on myself because I realized the day you take off (someone else) is going to get faster. So no matter how sore I was that day, I pushed through it.

“If you want to get anything, you have to get it yourself. It takes a lot of discipline and you really have to stay committed to it.”

Phil Hodges, a Meadowdale assistant coach who works with hurdlers, said Grant’s “offseason training has made a big difference. He’s just become a stronger athlete. The kid loves track, that’s the bottom line. It’s given him a sense of purpose that he didn’t really have his freshman year …

He’s a very competitive kid, and he’s improved so much.”

Grant has several goals for the next few months. He expects to run in elite age-groups meets around the country, and from those he hopes to be named a high school All-American. Also, he is being recruited by various colleges with Washington, Washington State and Michigan among his primary suitors, and he plans to make that decision soon.

But in the meantime there is this week’s state meet at Tacoma’s Mount Tahoma High School.

Grant would love to surpass the high hurdles state-meet record of 13.86 set by Celtic Bowie of Seattle’s Rainier Beach High School in 1987.

“I want to beat that record so bad,” Grant admitted with a smile. “But with my collarbone issue, I just hope to do the best I possibly can at state and make my dreams come true by finishing both events as a state champion.

“I want to leave a mark at this school,” he added. “And how you finish at the end is really going to impact how people see you.

I want to be one of those stories where people can see that anything’s possible if you just work at it.”

Nicholas Blair Everett | Boys Track Blair’s throw of 53-3 was good enough to win the shot put on Wednesday at the 3A District 1 meet.

Blair’s throw is the second best 3A throw in the state this season.

Kellianne Cavin Snohomish | Girls Track Cavin won the long jump with a leap of over 18 feet, the high jump with a leap of 5-4 and the triple jump with a mark of 37-5 at the 4A Bi-District meet this past weekend.

Cavin’s marks in all three events are in the state’s top seven and she currently has the highest mark in the high jump.

Snohomish | Boys Golf The Panthers had four of the 10 individual qualifiers for the state tournament at the 4A District 1 tournament on Thursday. Ethan Casto tied Jackson’s Arnold Ha for the best two-day score (148). Luke Kuna was third (149) and Ben Gardner and Keegan Willis finished tied for fifth (153).

Ana Maria Beall Meadowdale | Girls Golf Beall shot a two-day score of 181 to win the 3A District 1 championship this past Wednesday and qualify for this week’s state championships.

Joseph Prikhodko Kamiak | Boys Lacrosse Prikhodko saved 18 shots, 10 of which came in the first half, in a 14-5 loss to defending champion Bellevue in the quarterfinals of the state tournament on Thursday. It was just another double digit save performance for a freshman that has done it multiple times this season and was named a first-team all-league goalkeeper.

MARINERS | Update

McClendon pleased with Walker’s effort Taijuan Walker’s final numbers weren’t great Sunday when he gave up four runs over 52⁄3 innings in an 8-4 loss at Toronto but, a day later, Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon took an upbeat view.

“I thought he did great,” McClendon said.

“I thought he competed well, even when he got in trouble. We Taijuan Walker purposely did not go to the mound because I wanted to see what he was going to do.

“He got himself out of that fifth inning.”

Walker didn’t allow a hit through four innings but gave up five, including a pair of two-run homers, in a four-run fifth.

“It was tough for a young pitcher,” McClendon said, “but I thought he kept his composure. I thought he continued to compete. He made a mistake pitch to the left-hander (Ryan Goins).

“And 3-2 to (Edwin) Encarnacion, I think you’ve got to go at him right there. He just happened to hit it out.”

The loss dropped Walker to 1-5 and left him with a 7.33 ERA for his nine starts.

“The thing I thought was important is he competed well,” McClendon said.

“When he left the ballgame in the sixth inning, we still had a chance to win the ballgame.”

Surging Seager Third baseman Kyle Seager carried a 10-game hitting streak into Monday’s series opener against the Rays. It marked his fifth career streak of at least 10 games.

Seager is 14-for-37 in that span (.378) and has raised his average from .238 to .270. His career best is a 16game streak from April 11-27, 2013.

Memorial Day numbers Here’s a stat nugget from the folks at Stats, Inc.: The Mariners entered Monday’s game with the best all-time record, percentage-wise, on Memorial Day at 23-12 (.657).

The worst?

Tampa Bay at 4-10 (.286).

Remembering the Vets The Mariners, Rays and all clubs throughout the majors wore commemorative caps and jerseys, which will be auctioned off by Major League Baseball.

All net proceeds will be donated to the Welcome Back Veterans program, which supports veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injuries.

Looking back It was 20 years ago Tuesday — May 26, 1995 — that Ken Griffey Jr., after hitting a home run in the fifth inning, robbed Baltimore’s Kevin Bass of a homer in the seventh inning at the Kingdome.

Griffey suffered two broken bone in his left wrist and underwent surgery the following day. He didn’t return until Aug. 15.

The Mariners went on to win the game 8-3 behind Randy Johnson.

Short hops Tampa Bay put first baseman James Loney on the disabled list prior to the game because of a broken middle finger on his left hand. He suffered the injury Sunday on a head-first slide at third base. The Rays replaced Loney by recalling infielder Tim Beckham from Triple-A Durham. ... Tampa Bay also recalled utilityman Jake Elmore to replace reliever Preston Guilmet, who was optioned to Durham after Sunday’s game. ... The Mariners are 9-for-45 with runners in scoring position through the first six games of their road trip. ... The Mariners entered Monday with 29 homers in May, which ranked third in the majors — and third in the AL West Division. Houston had 35, and Texas had 33. … Nelson Cruz, before Monday, needed three hits to reach 1,000 for his career.

Could Mariners outfielder Dustin Ackley be the player Seattle moves off the major league roster when the Mariners add another pitcher to the bullpen?

Jackson returns; Farquhar out

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Outfielder Austin Jackson is returning from the disabled list, and the Seattle Mariners, for now, are buying time in order to find space for him on their roster.

The Mariners optioned struggling reliever Danny Farquhar to Triple-A Tacoma after Monday’s 4-1 victory over Tampa Bay at Tropicana Field. Jackson will be activated prior to Tuesday’s game.

That move leaves the Mariners with a six-man bullpen.

“For a temporary period of time,” general manager Jack Zduriencik said, “this is the right thing to do. It keeps our position players intact. We feel pretty good about who we’re sending to the mound the next couple of days.”

Lefty J.A. Happ will start Tuesday against the Rays, and Felix Hernandez will start Wednesday afternoon’s series finale. The Mariners then open an 11-game homestand Thursday at Safeco Field.

Zduriencik and manager Lloyd McClendon each acknowledged a six-man bullpen to be a short-term solution.

“We’ll go game to game, day to day,” Zduriencik said. “We’ll see how it falls into place, but Jackson is ready to come back.”

Jackson suffered a sprained right ankle May 3 at Houston while running out a grounder.

He has played nine games at Tacoma on a rehab assignment; he batted .263 (10-for-38).

“From a physical standpoint,” McClendon said, “he’s ready. He’s had some at-bats down there. We need him back in the lineup.”

The move to demote Farquhar comes amid mounting struggles that have left him 0-3

Mariners From Page C1

scored their final two runs against the Rays’ bullpen.

But that two-run first inning, as it turned out, was sufficient for lefty Roenis Elias and a bullpen relay of Mark Lowe, Carson Smith and Fernando Rodney.

Elias (2-1) held the Rays to one run and six hits in six innings, which marked his 16th straight start of holding an opponent to three or fewer runs.

“I battled through the first few innings,” he said. “When I got in trouble, I just relaxed and tried to throw strikes. Just maintain the situation. Stay nice and calm.”

Elias’ streak ranks third in franchise history. Felix Hernandez had an 18-game run last season, while Erik Bedard holds the record at 20 in 2008-09.

“The way he’s been throwing,” catcher Mike Zunino said, “he has a lot of trust in his changeup. He used that a couple of times with guys on base to get some ground balls and

with a 6.46 ERA in 20 appearances. He was 3-1 with a 2.86 ERA a year ago in 66 games.

“I think I’m not too far off,” he said. “There were a couple of outings a little earlier where I felt I was lost. I feel like I battled back from that. Just catch a break here and there, and I’m back to where I was.”

Players optioned to the minors can’t be recalled for 10 days unless replacing a player on the disabled list. That means the Mariners must promote someone else if they need a bullpen arm over the next few days.

Monday’s decision merely delays a move connected to another position player. Possibilities include optioning either utilityman Brad Miller or shortstop Chris Taylor to the minors.

Neither appears likely at this point. The alternative, barring a trade or injury, would be to jettison one of four veteran players: ■ Dustin Ackley. The Mariners signaled the clock was ticking on Ackley by demoting him this year to platoon status.

If Miller, also a left-handed hitter, can play the outfield — as it appears he can — Ackley’s spot looks tenuous.

Ackley is batting just .186 with an even more abysmal .227 on-base percentage. He’s a notoriously slow starter, so the question is whether the Mariners want to see if he snaps out of it.

There’s also the issue of whether the Mariners are willing, even after six years, to give up on a player who was the second overall pick in the 2009 draft.

■ Willie Bloomquist. Miller’s new role begs an obvious question: Why do the Mariners need Bloomquist as a second utility player? Bloomquist, 37, will be a free agent after the

season and offers none of Miller’s upside.

Then there’s a game like Saturday, when Bloomquist delivered a two-run double and a threw out a runner at second in a 3-2 victory at Toronto. And McClendon, like most managers, likes having veterans on the bench.

■ Justin Ruggiano. It is, perhaps, telling that while Ruggiano started the first three games in center field following Jackson’s injury, he started only three of the next 15. The Mariners used Ackley on 11 occasions.

That might be nothing more than a left/right platoon split.

Or it might represent a final chance for Ackley to prove himself before Jackson returned.

But Ruggiano is batting .200 (albeit with a .314 on-base percentage.)

Note, though, that when the Mariners broke spring camp, Ruggiano was viewed as the club’s backup center fielder in addition to being a platoon partner in right field with Seth Smith.

■ Rickie Weeks. He is the player who appears the least affected by Miller’s shift to a utility role. Weeks is a righthanded hitter, in contrast to Miller’s lefty bat, and now only seems to play left field in a pinch.

Instead, Weeks’ duty has evolved primarily into providing the Mariners with a designated hitter for games when they face a left-handed pitcher and choose to play Nelson Cruz in right field.

Weeks is often the club’s best power threat on the bench although, to date, he’s been more threat than production: a .176/.282/.279 slash (batting average/on-base percentage/ slugging percentage) in 78 plate appearances.

get us out of some innings.”

Tampa Bay’s only run came on a leadoff homer by Logan Forsythe in the sixth inning.

Elias then stranded two more runners in the sixth, which made eight overall, before McClendon went to the bullpen.

“I heard my old skipper saying, ‘After the third time of being in trouble, get him out of there,’” McClendon said. “I could hear him talking in the back of my head.”

Lowe protected a 2-1 lead by working around a two-out single and a wild pitch in the seventh after beginning the inning by making a nice pickup and throw on Brandon Guyer’s leadoff squibber.

Seth Smith then started the eighth inning against reliever Steve Geltz with a double off the glove of shortstop Tim Beckham.

After Brad Miller took a third strike, Cano delivered his second RBI single of the game with a grounder through the right side.

That meant Smith inherited a two-run lead in Tampa eighth, which he started by hitting

Beckham. But Smith retired the next two hitters before ex-Mariner Nick Franklin lined out to third baseman Kyle Seager.

Franklin’s drive appeared headed for left field before Seager made a lunging catch.

Zunino’s two-out homer in the ninth against Brandon Gomes meant Rodney had a three-run cushion in picking up his 13th save in 14 chances.

Odorizzi (3-5) deserved better — even in the first inning, when the Mariners broke on top as Cano snapped a 0-for12 skid by driving in his first run since May 12. Nelson Cruz added an RBI single for the 2-0 lead.

“I’ve been swinging the bat well,” Cano said. “Today, I was able to stay back and use my back leg instead of jumping out there.”

And when the ball scooted through the infield?

“It was like, ‘This is when,’” Cano said. “I know in this life, nothing is going to be perfect. ...

These are the things that make you stronger and make you a better player.”

The Mariners will settle for the player he’s always been.

Mets send Wright to see back specialist Associated Press NEW YORK — Hoping David Wright can find “magic fingers somewhere in California” to cure the Mets captain’s ailing back, New York general manager Sandy Alderson has sent the third baseman across the country to work with the staff of specialist Dr. Robert Watkins.

Wright hasn’t played since pulling his right hamstring against Philadelphia on April 14.

His rehabilitation was put on hold May 6 when back pain developed. While Wright resumed baseball activities on May 18 at their training complex in Port St. Lucie, Florida, the Mets said Saturday the seven-time All-Star felt lingering back pain and was diagnosed with stenosis, a narrowing of the spinal column.

“None of the doctors at this point have given us any indication that this is a long-term problem that can’t be managed,” Alderson said before Monday’s 6-3 win over Philadelphia. “I’m hopeful that we will see him back much sooner than some have speculated.”

Wright already had been working on a physical-therapy plan developed by the staff of Watkins, one of the world’s leading back experts.

“I think we’ll know more in the next two or three or four days, after David arrives in California and we get some more input from Dr. Watkins and his office,” Alderson said.

Wright didn’t play after Sept. 8 last year because of inflammation in his left rotator cuff. He hit .269 with eight homers and 63 RBI, slumping to a .238 average with 15 RBI after the All-Star break.

Daniel Murphy and Eric Campbell have seen most of the time at third base in Wright’s absence, and Alderson admitted “there does come a time when we’ll have to consider” a more longterm solution.

“This is not the time of year when most clubs are looking to make deals,” he said.

Blue Jays’ Bautista sits Associated Press TORONTO — Blue Jays outfielder Jose Bautista was out of the lineup for a second straight day on Monday after getting a cortisone shot in his strained right shoulder.

DOUG RAMSAY / FOR THE HERALD

Kevin Beavers won the Snohomish County Amateur golf tournament by six strokes.

to bogeys, opening the door for playing partners Joe Fryer and Tyler Hanson, who had both begun the day four shots behind. But Beavers promptly responded with a birdie on No. 4 and another on No. 6 to get his round back to even par, and a third birdie on the 10th hole dropped him under par to stay for the afternoon.

And if anyone thought he might falter down the stretch, Beavers snuffed that notion with another birdie on No. 15.

“Once I steadied myself (with a birdie) on 4, I really got a flow going,” said Beavers, who played collegiately at the University of Portland. “I got a rhythm to the round, which was nice.” And over the final few holes “it was more just about trying to get myself a putt at birdie, but then to secure the par and not make a big mistake.”

Second place went to Rudy Caparas, who closed with a 1-under 71 for a 1-over 217 total.

Fryer shot 1-over 73 to place third at 2-over 218.

Alex Stamey, a five-time champion who needs one more title for the all-time lead in tournament victories, shot even-par 72 on

Monday to place fourth at 3-over 219. His chance of winning was undone by a 5-over 77 in Sunday’s second round at Harbour Pointe.

“I played good this year,” Stamey said. “I just had one bad putting day (on Sunday), which was unfortunate. I hit the ball tee to green very well, so I’m happy with that. But I needed to make more birdies (to catch) Kevin.

He’s very solid and he’s not going to make any mistakes.”

In the second division, for players with handicaps of 5.1 to 9.9, Daniel Kim of Harbour Pointe was the low-net winner with a three-round total of 9-under 207, one stroke better than Chae Cho, also of Harbour Pointe.

The third division winner was Kyung wook Oh of Harbour Pointe with a 21-under 195.
