Leque Island levees to go The state has decided to remove the barriers and let saltwater flood the area in an effort to create salmon habitat.

Kari Bray Herald Writer

STANWOOD — The state Department of Fish and Wildlife has decided to remove most of the dikes around Leque

Island, a slice of former farmland between Stanwood and Camano Island.

The 300-acre island is a popular spot for hunting and bird-watching. It’s surrounded by levees built more than a

century ago to protect crops.

Many of the levees are failing.

Removing them will let saltwater flood the area during high tides and hopefully create habitat for salmon, according to the department.

Officials started looking at options for either removing or repairing Leque Island’s levees in the early 2000s, and the Salmon

Recovery Funding Board supported the effort with grants in 2004 and 2007. A plan that would have removed levees around half the island and repaired the rest was in the works in 2005 when concerns about saltwater intrusion into a Camano Island aquifer stalled the project.

Never too late to graduate

Doris Hill Jelinek receives high school diploma on her 100th birthday

Life jackets going missing Because the weather has been warmer, the loaners are disappearing faster than usual, and there may not be enough to last the summer.

SULTAN — A 100th birthday party here doubled as a high school graduation ceremony.

Doris Hill Jelinek would have graduated from Sultan Union High School in 1935. But, like many women of the era, she did not continue her education after she met her husband.

“In those days, you didn’t keep going after you got married,” Jelinek said.

She left school in 1931 after completing eighth grade. But, Jelinek said, she always wished she would have finished high school.

Your trusted source for local deals brings you...

Now, 80 years later, she has completed that goal. Officials from the Sultan School District surprised her at her 100th birthday party Saturday with a graduation ceremony and an honorary high school diploma.

“She was just ear-to-ear smiles,” Superintendent Dan Chaplik said.

As tradition mandates, he had Jelinek don a cap and gown.

Chaplik and Sultan High School Principal Tami Nesting gave graduation speeches.

EVERETT — They hope it’s not happening on purpose.

It’s easier to imagine a family walking off from a lake day, absentmindedly carrying home a loaner life jacket, when the alternative is blatant theft.

Roughly 100 loaner life jackets were stocked in cabinets at parks around the county on May 22. The supplies already are dwindling, said Shawneri Guzman, with Safe Kids Snohomish County.

The loaner life jacket program is a partnership between Safe Kids, Providence Regional Medical Center Everett, the county parks department, and local police and firefighters. It started more than a decade ago, around the same time the county stopped posting lifeguards at local swimming holes.

“We all have the same goal,” Guzman said. “No one wants to have to rescue a child or see a child drown, or an adult. Having this program is really important to a lot of people.”

They keep some extra life jackets around for a mid-summer restock, because a few always go missing.

Usually the restock is needed in mid-July. Hot, dry weather moved that up. If jackets keep disappearing, the program might be over for the summer.

“The life jackets are just gone when they’re gone,” Guzman said. “Typically we’re able to get through a full summer with our stock of life jackets. This year they’re just going too quickly and too early in the season.”

That’s a scary thought considering the number of drowning deaths in the county every year.

Two water rescues have been reported here since Sunday, both for swimmers who went under in rivers. One of the men, 21, has died. No update on been provided on the other.

There are 10 life jacket cabinets in the county in all, with the newest one opened this year at

How to keep your pets safe over July 4 Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — To us, fireworks are the sparkling embodiment of July Fourth. But to dogs, they truly are bombs bursting in air.

The pops and explosions, raucous block parties and other loud noises during holiday festivities can scare dogs into leaping over or digging under fences to escape the thunderous blasts, leading them to get lost or injured.

More pets go missing over the Fourth of July weekend than any other time of year, according to

The sizes most needed are for toddlers, children and adult smalls. Cash is accepted. Coupons also are available to help people purchase their own jackets. If you live far from Everett, check with your local police or fire department for a potential jacket donation drop-off spot closer to home.

“We’re really serious about having families going to designated swim areas,” she said.

Snohomish County sheriff’s Lt. Rodney Rochon has been working on boats for 35 years.

He helped get jackets for the first cabinet, which was built as a boy’s Eagle Scout project. Rochon’s been an “amazing champion” of the program, Guzman said.

The Environmental Protection Agency ruled that removing the levees doesn’t pose a threat to the freshwater aquifer, and the Department of Fish and Wildlife returned to the project in 2013. Planners formed a 31-member volunteer advisory committee and held public meetings to gather questions, concerns and suggestions. The committee had representatives from groups that have repeatedly opposed removing dikes around the island. Opponents include the Washington Waterfowl Association and Camano Water Systems Association.

“If you’re not a strong swimmer or you’re in water that’s unfamiliar, wear a life jacket. If you’re not in a swimming pool that has a lifeguard, wear a life jacket,” he said. “It’s real simple.”

The jackets are meant to benefit everyone for daily use, Guzman said.

Not everyone can afford new jackets and kids quickly outgrow last summer’s sizes. The program relies on grants, donations and corporate sponsors.

Sometimes, the donations come from families who have lost someone to drowning.

the campaign because “pets are members of the family, so experiencing only a few moments of loss is traumatic,” even if they’re found, company co-founder and CEO Ben

The advisory committee narrowed the list of possibilities for Leque Island to six designs. Among the options were leaving the failing levees alone, rebuilding them, removing them or breaching them in select spots.

“Now we have our preferred option to move forward with, but that’s at a conceptual level,” project coordinator Loren Brokaw said. “It removes the majority of the levees but leaves a linear stretch.”

The design is considered a full restoration of the island, allowing saltwater to flood almost all of it during high tides. A stretch of levee on the east side of the island, along the Stillaguamish River, would be repaired rather than removed under the current

plan, but that may change if more detailed design work suggests that levee should be removed, as well, according to an analysis and design report.

More studies are needed of the soils, water flow, topography and tides before a final design is put together, Brokaw said. Then permitting could take up to a year.

At the earliest, work will start on removing the dikes in summer 2017, he said.

The initial cost estimate for the project is $3 million, but that’s a very rough calculation, Brokaw said. It’s one of the least expensive options the department considered. Cost estimates for the six alternatives ranged from $2 million to $11 million.

In the coming months, the Department of Fish

and Wildlife plans to seek ideas from the public on possible recreation features for the island once the levees are removed. There could be elevated trails and boardwalks, hunting and photography blinds and information kiosks, according to the report.

The department plans to form another volunteer advisory committee for the recreation features, similar to the one they brought together for the levee removal decision. For more information, people can visit www.wdfw.wa.gov.

“We’re not sure yet what is most feasible and what the expense would be,” Brokaw said. “There will still be lots of things to see and do out there.”

Police asking for clues to I-5 arsons

By Eric Stevick Herald Writer

MARYSVILLE — Investigators into Tuesday’s series of arsons along I-5 are looking for tips.

The fires, set in stretches of dry grass in the early afternoon, snarled traffic and kept firefighters scrambling from Everett north past the Snohomish County line.

“We don’t have a whole lot,” Washington State Patrol trooper Heather Axtman said Wednesday. “If a citizen saw anything

out of the ordinary, I would urge them to call.”

Information can be passed on to the Washington State Patrol at 360-654-1204.

Investigators are looking for two men a Snohomish County sheriff’s deputy said he spotted north of Stanwood apparently attempting to start a fire with a road flare.

The deputy said the men drove off before he could confront them.

The suspects were in a lightcolored Hyundai Sonata. One

was believed to be in his 50s, while the other appeared older.

Both men had light-colored hair.

Investigators also recovered a flare with a fingerprint that may be linked to the fires.

Troopers are working with fire investigators from the Snohomish County Fire Marshal’s Office and local jurisdictions, including the cities of Everett and Marysville.

At least 10 brush fires were started early Monday afternoon.

They were set along I-5’s northbound and southbound lanes

from just north of the Snohomish River Bridge to south Skagit County. Bottlenecks developed because of the smoke and need for emergency crews to have the room to put out the fires.

Fire investigators from Everett and elsewhere in Snohomish County looked for evidence at the different fire scenes. They have sent the flare to a crime lab for analysis.

With more than 500 cameras in the greater Seattle area, there isn’t enough storage capacity to routinely record, he said. Most of Monday’s fires had been set before the transportation department even knew there was a concern.

“Our cameras’ real job is to see what traffic is like in an area and to let people know,” Phelps said.

LAKE STEVENS — Penryn Farm is a peaceful place backed up against Stitch Lake and dotted with blueberry plants in uneven rows, branches sagging this time of year under the weight of ripe berries.

Bob Fink and Patty Watson bought the property and home there eight years ago. They inherited the 3-acre blueberry patch that has been a favorite picking spot in the neighborhood for nearly four decades.

Now, the couple is trying to find a way to keep Penryn Farm U-Pick Blueberries open for neighbors, friends and longtime pickers without losing their homeowners insurance. State Farm Insurance has said their policy will be canceled in September if they don’t close their blueberry business, Fink said.

Except Penryn Farm was never meant to be a business, he and Watson said Tuesday as they walked through rows of plants and snapped off dead twigs to make room for new growth. They don’t make enough money from the patch to pay for its upkeep and they’re not trying to turn a profit.

Fink, 66, is a psychiatrist and also has produced several films. He and Watson, 69, married about seven years ago. The blueberry patch, like the rest of their carefully kept-up property, is a hobby. There are several hundred bushes and the couple needs help eating all those berries, so they’ve kept it open for folks to pick in the summer.

“This is a community service to me,” Watson said. “We do all the maintenance and everything, and it’s been here 35, 40 years. People brought their

are smiling about it.

And the nation knows Senate Republicans drafted the unprecedented cut in tuition for students at public colleges and universities.

It’s hard to see how it could have turned out much better for them.

And it’s not so hard to see why it’s been a rough year for House Speaker Frank Chopp, D-Seattle.

Yes, the state is putting billions of new dollars into

OLYMPIA — A political scuffle on a high school testing reform bill Wednesday opened up a $2 billion hole in the new state budget and further delayed Washington State University’s construction of a building in Everett.

The budget problem was created when state lawmakers did not agree to suspend Initiative 1351, which requires the state spend $2 billion in the next two years to reduce the class sizes.

The budget Gov. Jay Inslee signed Tuesday night assumed the measure would be put on hold and does not allot money to carry out the initiative approved by voters in 2014.

The House passed a bill to suspend the measure, but the Senate has not.

Inslee spoke with legislative leaders Wednesday about a solution, as his budget director sought to allay concerns about the situation.

“It is not a crisis. It is a problem that needs to be addressed,” said David Schumacher, director of the Office of Financial Management.

“The budget itself is not illegal.”

If the initiative is not suspended, the governor and lawmakers will eventually need to come up with $2 billion in new revenue or in cuts to pay for it, he said.

There’s fallout in Everett where WSU had designs on breaking ground Wednesday on a new home for the University Center.

WSU received $54.6 million in the state’s new two-year construction budget. The House approved a bond bill to finance all the projects in it including Washington State’s. But the Senate has not and it won’t until the I-1351 issue is resolved, Senate leaders say.

“We have been prepared for some time and are anxious to begin construction before winter sets in,” said Bob Drewel, chancellor of WSU North Puget Sound in Everett. “We stand prepared to start when the legislative process allows us to do so.”

The Senate is at the center of the political wrangling. Democrats want to vote on a bill to axe a requirement that students pass a biology test or approved alternative to graduate. Republicans, who hold the majority, oppose the bill and say its passage would weaken the standards for graduating from high school.

As leverage, most Democrats refused Wednesday to support a bill suspending Initiative 1351.

It takes a two-thirds majority to suspend an initiative in the first two years after voters approve it.

kids and now they’re bringing their grandkids.”

Visitors park in a grassy area and follow an arrow to the “Office,” a canopy with a table under it where they can snag a bucket for picking, bag their berries after and leave a donation in a locked black box with a hole for cash and coins. All donations go toward maintaining the blueberry farm, Fink said. There’s a sign-in sheet on the table where people can scrawl their names, how much they picked, how much they donated and an email address.

Last year, Fink and Watson collected $4,000 from the box over the two-month berry season.

The one yard service they hire is lawn mowing for $450 a month, nine months of the year. That’s the entirety of their proceeds from the berry patch, Fink said, and it doesn’t account for mulch, water, pruning and weeding supplies or the couple’s labor.

“I have to admit, it’s a lot of work,” he said When they bought the property, the blueberry patch was as much weeds as bushes. Even then, neighbors came to pick.

Fink and Watson beat back the weeds, pruned the bushes and cleared walkways. They’ve battled mummy berries, cold snaps and wet ground that swallowed boots and tires.

A few years ago, State Farm informed them that having people on the property to pick berries could be a liability, so they agreed to put up a sign telling people to pick at their own risk and sign in. The insurance agency agreed to the compromise, Fink said.

“Then without warning, I get this phone call from my agent telling me to expect a letter canceling my policy as of September (2015),” Fink said. “We’ve had no claims, no nothing.”

Police: Meth user causes 5-car wreck 3 arrested in assault on juvenile

By Eric Stevick Herald Writer

EVERETT — Police believe a man on meth and driving a stolen SUV caused a five-car crash Tuesday that sent three people to the hospital.

The collision occurred shortly after noon at Olivia Park Road and Evergreen Way. The driver of a stolen Ford Explorer allegedly blew through a red light, causing the crash. He ran from the scene. The Ford Explorer had been stolen in Spokane over the weekend.

While police were investigating, a man reported that his rental car had

been stolen from a Best Western hotel nearby.

The man told police he heard the collision and went to check on the condition of the people involved. In his haste, he left his rented Ford Focus running and it was stolen.

Police found the Focus on a dead-end street near a dog park north of 100th Street SW off 18th Avenue W. A police dog was used to track the suspect, who was arrested just east of Airport Road along Kasch Park Road. He allegedly was carrying a backpack stolen from the Focus.

The accident sent three people to the hospital.

One suffered a serious

neck injury. The other two had minor injuries, according to a police report.

The suspect, 26, is from Alaska. He was booked into the Snohomish County Jail for investigation of vehicular assault, theft of a motor vehicle, possessing a stolen vehicle and three counts of hit and run.

Police found a meth pipe with burned residue in the stolen Explorer.

When he was arrested, the suspect was described in a police report as being “in an extremely agitated state, screaming, sweating, unable to hold still, jittery in his movements and slurring his speech.”

Man charged with killing ex’s boyfriend

By Diana Hefley Herald Writer

EVERETT — A man suspected of shooting his ex-girlfriend’s new boyfriend outside an Everett apartment sent threatening messages days before the killing.

He also allegedly told detectives he tracked Carlos Lara-Ramos down and waited at least an hour for the man to come outside the Arterra Apartments on W Casino Road. LaraRamos, 28, was shot once in the chest during a scuffle.

He likely was no more than three inches away from the gun when he was hit, according to court papers.

Prosecutors on Wednesday charged Alexander Sandoval-Ortiz with

Farm From Page A3

the company’s privacy policies.

In general, State Farm insurance specialists look at a number of factors to determine a policy holder’s liabilities, spokesman Sevag Sarkissian said in an email.

“When a new risk associated with an insurance policy becomes evident, we have to re-evaluate the customer’s specific circumstances,” he said.

Homeowner policies generally do not cover business operations, Sarkissian said. Sometimes, policy holders can stop a cancellation by meeting specific criteria,

first-degree murder and possessing a stolen gun.

Sandoval-Ortiz, 33, was being held on $1 million bail. He told detectives he is a member of MS-13, a violent street gang.

The investigation also revealed that he is from Guatemala and has two felony convictions out of California. Agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement have taken action against him in past.

It took some time to learn the defendant’s true name.

He was arrested two days after the killing.

Detectives believe the June 16 shooting was motivated by jealousy.

A woman recently had broken up with Sandoval-Ortiz and began seeing Lara-Ramos, whom

she dated in the past.

Sandoval-Ortiz allegedly responded by sending the pair messages, threatening to kill Lara-Ramos. The week before the shooting he tried to get the couple to meet with him. He later sent the woman a picture of a handgun.

The gun matched the one police recovered after the shooting. SandovalOrtiz allegedly led police to the weapon after his arrest.

The gun was stolen June 16 from a vehicle parked outside an apartment where the defendant was living, Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Hal Hupp wrote.

Sandoval-Ortiz allegedly told investigators he traded a homeless man drugs for the gun.

such as closing an uninsured business.

“A decision to nonrenew a customer’s insurance policy is never made lightly because we absolutely value the relationships we have with our policyholders,” Sarkissian said.

The letter from State Farm didn’t give Fink an option to upgrade his policy but offered to direct him to other insurers that handle farm insurance, he said. He doesn’t want to switch and pay higher rates, but he’ll do so if it’s the only option, he said.

For now, Fink hopes keeping Penryn a small operation will meet insurance requirements. He sent a letter to State Farm on June 10 saying he was closing the blueberry farm

to the public.

“My interpretation — and it’s self-serving, I know — is that I can still invite my friends,” Fink said.

The couple doesn’t advertise Penryn Farm beyond a sign at the top of their driveway. They opened the farm last week for friends, neighbors and people on their email list from past visits.

Fink admits he’s in a gray area, but he and Watson don’t want to turn the patch into a business. They have way more blueberries than they need and like feeding the neighborhood with their farm.

“It’s been here forever,” Fink said. “It should continue to be here, whether we do it or someone else.

It’s a community treasure, in a way.”

Herald staff EDMONDS — Police in Edmonds have arrested three people for investigation of a June 24 assault involving a teenager.

The early evening incident occurred near 72nd Avenue W and Olympic View Drive.

A man and woman, both 19, were booked into the Snohomish County Jail while a boy, 16, was taken to the Denny

Juvenile Justice Center in Everett. Prosecutors have been asked to review a potential felony assault charge against a fourth suspect, a juvenile.

“This was a violent assault and it was important for us to locate the suspects and hold them accountable,” said Edmonds detective Stacie Trykar, who led the investigation.

Police allege the suspects threw something

at the boy and his friends when they passed them in a car. The victim threw something back. That’s when the car allegedly turned around and the assault occurred.

“There is evidence to suggest that a wrench and a stick were used during the assault,” police said in a press release.

The victim suffered head injuries that required staples and stitches to close.

Light rail measure to move forward Herald staff SEATTLE — Sound Transit’s Board of Directors pledged Wednesday to move forward with a November 2016 ballot measure to extend light rail to Everett and other destinations.

The move followed the Legislature allowing the transit agency to seek up to $15 billion in tax increases as part of the state budget that passed Tuesday.

“Everyone in our region, from transit riders to drivers to freight movers, will

benefit from expanding mass transit,” said Everett City Councilman Paul Roberts, who serves as vice chairman of the Sound Transit Board, in a prepared statement.

Sound Transit is encouraging people to fill out an online survey to help determine specific projects to include in the expansion. Find it at www. soundtransit3.org/survey.

In addition to Everett, the expansion aims to bring light rail to downtown Redmond, Ballard, West Seattle and Tacoma as well

as new bus rapid transit on I-405 from Lynnwood, better ST Express bus service and more Sounder commuter rail facilities.

To pay for the work, Sound Transit board members are expected to ask voters to approve paying up to 25 cents more in property tax for each $1,000 of assessed property value (about $75 yearly for a $300,000 house); an additional half percent in sales tax; and higher cartab fees (about $80 per year on a vehicle worth $10,000).

Possible DUI for man who hit patrol car Herald staff EVERETT — An Everett man could face a drunken driving charge after he reportedly crashed into a Washington State Patrol cruiser that was parked while the trooper provided traffic control Tuesday evening at the scene of a cluster of arsons along I-5.

The trooper was in the

patrol car with emergency lights flashing when it was struck about 8 p.m. near milepost 197. The trooper was not seriously injured but was taken to an area hospital and treated and released, according to a State Patrol accident memo. The trooper’s name was not included in the report. The man said to be responsible for the crash, 33, is believed to

have been driving drunk.

He was not injured.

He was driving southbound on I-5 in the right lane when his vehicle struck the patrol car, which was in the roadway.

The State Patrol is investigating a string of fires that appear to have been deliberately set Tuesday along I-5 from Everett to Skagit County.

Crabbers invited to enter photo contest Herald staff EVERETT — Recreational crabbers can participate in a photo contest this summer to win prizes, such as crabbing equipment or a restaurant gift certificate.

This year’s crabbing season opens Thursday.

To enter a photo in the contest, post a photo on Instagram with the hashtag #CatchMoreCrabSnoco in your caption. Drawings to determine winning entries will be held

every two weeks during summer.

If you don’t have an Instagram account, go to the Snohomish County Marine Resources Committee website, www.snocomrc. org, to learn how to send photos by mail or email.

Snohomish County’s Surface Water Management Division is sponsoring the competition to promote best practices in crabbing. An estimated 12,000 crab post are lost every year. Without an escape cord, each lost pot can kill up to 30

harvestable crabs.

Tips to avoid losing a crab pot: Add more weight to your pot; know if the tide is rising or falling; know the direction of the current; use longer line; use a high-visibility buoy; avoid high-traffic areas; watch your pots; and use weighted line.

Staff from the Marine Resources Committee plan to be at Everett’s 10th Street boat launch Thursday to tell people about the contest and to promote good crabbing practices.

OBITUARIES AND MEMORIALS

LYNNWOOD — As July 4 approaches, two Lynnwood men learned the hard way Tuesday night why firefighters are so wary this year.

The men, 32 and 26, were walking on a sidewalk along the Alderwood Mall Parkway just south of the I-5 overpass when one of them lit a firework.

The 26-year-old man told police he knew he shouldn’t throw it into traffic so he tossed it over a fence into some dry grass.

He soon realized that was a bad idea.

It caused a fire that spread quickly. He climbed the fence to try to extinguish it, but it was too late.

Lynnwood firefighters put out the blaze. The pair stayed at the scene to face the consequences.

Both men were arrested and booked into the city jail for investigation of unlawfully discharging fireworks, which are illegal in Lynnwood. The 26-year-old also was cited for reckless burning. They later were released.

Lynnwood police Sgt. Sean Doty said the fire demonstrates the danger posed by dry conditions this year.

“One spark is all it takes,” he said.

Though fireworks are legal to use in Marysville on July Fourth, between 9 a.m. and 11 p.m., city officials there also are concerned about the fire danger and potential for residential fires to spread quickly.

Marysville Fire Marshal Tom Maloney is hoping people will consider the parched terrain and pass on fireworks altogether.

In the first six months of the year, the Marysville Fire Department has responded

Budget From Page A3

Without enough Democratic votes, Senate Republicans could not muster the super-majority. The measure garnered 27 votes — including Sen. Steve Hobbs, D-Lake Stevens, and four other Democrats — but needed 33 votes to pass.

Senate Majority Leader Mark Schoesler, R-Ritzville, said Democrats broke an agreement to help suspend the measure.

And the caucus rejected an offer to revise the high school testing bill to deal with students affected in the 2015 graduating class.

The staredown in the Senate also has stalled

education, child care, early learning, mental health, human services and parks.

Teachers and state workers are getting raises. Tuition is going down at two- and four-year colleges. And the state is poised to put a wad of dough into public transportation.

That’s a heck of a Democratic agenda but for some Democrats it still feels a bit like defeat.

And it’s for all the reasons Senate Republicans are smiling. House Democrats couldn’t push across a minimum-wage increase, paid leave or capital gains tax. In one of the bluest and greenest states, they failed to pass any significant climate change bill. In the end, they couldn’t boost the cigarette tax to fund cancer research.

One could say House Democrats may have done better had they not

action on the 16-year, $16 billion transportation package.

The House and Senate already passed bills to raise the gas tax to pay for the package. But the House still needs to approve a bond bill and list of projects to be funded.

House leaders say they’ll hold off until the rumble on high school testing reforms is done. If the Senate reaches a compromise, it will come back to the House, which strongly supports axing the biology test requirement.

The House and Senate have not scheduled any floor sessions until next week, at the earliest.

Wednesday is the fourth day of the third special session. It could last up to 30 days.

overreached to start. By launching big-time policy initiatives then not voting on many of them, they didn’t force the hand of Senate Republicans.

What might negotiations have gone like had House Democrats ever passed a capital gains tax or any tax increase at all? They said it wouldn’t have mattered.

GOP leaders contended Chopp never had the votes in the caucus and the speaker never proved them wrong.

The silver lining may be the 2016 elections.

Democrats can focus on the additional services for Washington’s children and seniors, disabled and poor, uninsured and mentally ill.

They can talk about rising teacher pay, lower tuition and maybe the timing for new highways, expanded bus service and more bike paths.

Most voters will be pleased to hear all that.

They will have forgotten this epic session ever occurred.

Unless it’s not over.

Russel Larsen Ru s s e l wa s b o r n M a rc h 28, 1953 in Seattle, Wash. and passed away October 23, 2014 in Lewiston, Idaho surrounded by his wife, family and dear friends.

Russel spent most of his l i fe i n D a r r i n g to n , Wa s h . where he resided from age 2 until 2013 when he moved to Lewiston.

Russel went to school in Darrington and then went to work in the woods logging.

Later, he joined the Army in 1971 spending two years on a c t i ve d u t y. Ru s s e l t h e n spent numerous years in the National Guard and also the Marine Corp Reserves.

I n N o v e m b e r o f 1 97 5 , Russel married Paula Hizey and they had two children, Jennie and Andrew. Russel and Paula were also blessed once again with an honorary son, Larry Abraham. In 1998 they were blessed with Austin. We would like to also mention Russel’s oldest son, Ellis.

Russel is preceded in death by his father, Melvin Larsen Sr. and his mother Barbara Nations.

Russel is survived by the love of his life, Paula; d a u g h t e r, J e n n i e ( R o b ) Requa; sons, Andrew, Austin, Larry, and Ellis; two sisters, Kathy Hearlty and Arby Norwood; two brothers, Wayne Morgan and Melvin Larsen; and the joys of Russel’s life were his grandkids, Aden, Nikolas, Noelle and Zack and also his loving (friend) dog, Chico.

Russel’s obsessive hobby was being a gun collector.

All that knew him knew his love of taking his guns apar t, putting them back together and even rebuilding something new and amazing. Russel would go hunting but with his passion for all Gods creatures, he never once killed anything.

He just loved being out in nature.

Russel was taken from us way too soon from complications of Alzheimer’s disease.

I’m sure he is looking down on us all right now and saying, “Cherish your loved ones and tell them you love them, and always give them lots of hugs!” And, always remember to kiss your wife goodnight as he always did.

There will be a graveside service at Darrington Cemetery on July 5 , 2015 at 3:00 p.m.

to 120 fire calls, nearly double the number of fire calls it had in all of 2014.

Last year, crews responded to 27 brush fires or miscellaneous fires around the city; this year, they’ve already battled 55.

“We’re asking everybody not to use fireworks,” Maloney said. “There’s no safe and sane firework this year.

It’s just too dry. Watching a professional fireworks show is the safest way to celebrate.”

The Snohomish County Council passed a resolution Wednesday discouraging people from setting off fireworks in unincorporated areas July 4, given the unusually dry conditions.

The resolution passed 4-0.

The move came after the council declined to act on requests from worried homeowners and officials from Snohomish County Fire District 1, who wanted a ban on all fireworks except for professional displays. Under state law, a ban cannot take effect for a year after legislation is enacted. The council would have had to have passed a ban this week for it to take effect by July 4, 2016.

The county only allows fireworks from 9 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. on July 4. Many cities have bans in place, including Everett, Edmonds, Gold Bar, Lynnwood, Mill Creek, Mukilteo and Woodway.

Fire District 1, which covers much of southwest Snohomish County, has been asking the County Council for a ban every year since at least 2010.

Californians trim water usage Residential use dropped 29 percent during the month of May. Los Angeles Times Drought-weary California received encouraging news Wednesday when officials announced that residential water use had dropped 29 percent during the month of May — the first real indication that the state might meet unprecedented conservation reductions imposed by Gov. Jerry Brown.

The cut in water usage suggests that the aggressive campaign to get residents to change their lifestyles — by

taking shorter showers, replacing grass with drought-tolerant landscaping and buying waterefficient appliances — is taking hold.

“My first response is almost disbelief,” said Mark Gold of the University of California, Los Angeles’ Institute of the Environment and Sustainability. “These results are beyond encouraging; they’re heartening. They make you realize that as a whole, people in urban areas are making the sacrifices necessary to get through this unprecedented drought.”

According to figures released by the State Water Resources Control Board, urban residents cut water consumption by 28.9 percent, when compared

to May 2013 — a significant improvement over the 13.6 percent reduction reported for April. Brown is requiring urban areas to cut water use by 25 percent, the first mandatory water rationing in California history.

Wealthier communities, which in the past have been criticized for high water use, showed improvements in May. Beverly Hills reported a 17 percent reduction; Newport Beach cut use by 22 percent and the Santa Fe Irrigation District, which covers an affluent pocket of northern San Diego County, saved 42 percent.

In addition to the usage figures, May reporting by water suppliers showed a significant increase in the number of

complaints received by water agencies as well as the number of formal warnings and penalties assessed, according to the water board.

“Complaints are a very important tool for identifying leaks and over-watering that could go undetected for weeks, resulting in millions of gallons of waste water,” the board said.

According to Wednesday’s report, a total of 28,555 complaints were issued statewide in May — roughly 2 ½ times the number reported in April.

Of those complaints, 1,786 resulted in the assessment of penalties, officials said.

However, the city of Fresno accounted for roughly 59 percent of all those penalties.

U.S., Cuba to resume ties Full diplomatic relations will be restored July 20.

Associated Press WASHINGTON — After more than a half-century of hostility, the United States and Cuba declared Wednesday they will reopen embassies in each other’s capitals this month, marking a historic full restoration of diplomatic relations between the Cold War foes.

For President Barack Obama, the opening of the U.S. Embassy in the heart of Havana is one of the most tangible demonstrations of his long-standing pledge to engage directly with U.S. adversaries.

Heralding the embassy agreement, Obama declared: “This is what change looks like.”

Cuban television broadcast Obama’s statement live, underscoring the new spirit. In a letter to Obama, Cuban President Raul Castro praised the embassy announcement as a way to “develop respectful relations and cooperation between our peoples and governments.”

Despite the historic step, the U.S. and Cuba are still grappling with deep divisions and mistrust.

The U.S. is particularly concerned about Cuba’s reputed human rights violations. Cuba is demanding an end to the U.S. economic embargo, the return of the U.S. military base at Guantanamo Bay and a halt to U.S. radio and TV broadcasts aimed at the island.

Obama wants Congress to lift the embargo, but staunch Republican opposition makes that unlikely in the near future.

Republicans, as well as a handful of Democrats, say Obama is prematurely rewarding an oppressive government that jails dissidents and silences political opponents.

“The Obama administration is handing the Castros a lifetime dream of legitimacy without getting a thing for the

Anti-Castro activist Osvaldo Hernandez shouts anti-Obama slogans as he condemns the announcement of embassies in Washington and Havana on Wednesday in the Little Havana area of Miami.

Cuban people being oppressed by this brutal communist dictatorship,” said House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio.

Republican presidential contenders had their say, too. Sen. Marco Rubio, son of a Cuban immigrant, said Obama was making concessions to an “odious regime;” former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush said the plan was “legitimizing the brutal Castro regime.”

Indeed, the historic thaw in U.S.-Cuba relations is seen by the White House as a central part of the president’s foreign policy legacy. Obama has long argued that the U.S. policy of isolating Cuba, a country just 90 miles south of Florida, has been ineffective in forcing the kind of change opponents demand.

“We don’t have to be imprisoned by the past,” Obama said.

The U.S. cut off diplomatic

relations with Cuba in 1961 after Fidel Castro’s revolution.

The U.S. spent decades trying to either overthrow the Cuban government or isolate the island, including toughening the embargo first imposed by President Dwight Eisenhower.

But after months of secret talks aided by the Vatican, the U.S. and Cuba announced in December that they were moving to end Cold War hostilities.

Since then, officials have been locked in negotiations over terms for opening embassies.

While details of those terms remained vague, Obama administration officials said they were satisfied with the level of access Cubans will have to the U.S. Embassy and the level of restrictions placed on U.S. diplomats in Havana.

While Americans won’t have unfettered freedom of movement, officials said they would

now only notify the Cuban government of travel outside of Havana, not seek permission.

The embassy restrictions are similar to those in countries run by authoritarian governments including China, Russia, Myanmar, Zimbabwe and Belarus.

Full diplomatic relations will be restored July 20. Secretary of State John Kerry will travel to Cuba this summer to raise the U.S. flag over the embassy, the first trip to the island by the top American diplomat since 1945.

Obama did not nominate an ambassador Wednesday and there was no indication that he planned to do so quickly. White House officials acknowledged that an eventual nominee would likely face opposition from critics of the president’s broader Cuba policy.

“It would be our strong preference that once an ambassador has been nominated, for that individual to be treated fairly by the United States Senate and confirmed in bipartisan fashion,” Obama said.

Since the late 1970s, the United States and Cuba have operated diplomatic missions called interests sections in each other’s capitals. The missions are under the protection of Switzerland, and do not enjoy the same status as embassies.

With diplomatic infrastructure already in place, administration officials said any efforts by Congress to block funding for an embassy would be unsuccessful in preventing an upgrade to the American post in Havana.

Last February, the Obama administration asked Congress for $6 million in 2016 for the U.S. mission in Havana to “expand its presence and transition to embassy status.”

Even without specific congressional approval, the State Department could well be able to access the money it requested because agencies are permitted to shift amounts of money among budget accounts, congressional aides said.

White House lifts photo ban on tours The Washington Post WASHINGTON — For more than four decades a White House tour was a hushed affair, where visitors moved at timed intervals through the executive residence, their cameras in their pockets, taking in portraits of past presidents, the antique furniture and the color of the drapes.

That changed dramatically Wednesday, when the Obama administration decided not only allow photos, but encouraged people to share them online.

By the end of the day social media was flooded with quirky images from the White House: A travel blogger in a dinosaur

shirt holding up a selfie with a partially rolled-up red carpet in the Cross Hall behind him, a close-up of the brocaded arm of a sofa in the Green Room, and bunches of pictures of the first family’s dogs.

The move by the White House was, in part, a practical one; the restrictions had been imposed out of concern that flash photography could damage the White House’s historic artwork, which is no longer a danger in the age of cellphone photography. But it also fit neatly into the administration’s broader effort to inject itself into the social media bloodstream.

Even Michelle Obama’s official announcement

Wednesday about a change in the White House’s camera policy seemed aimed at going viral: On the official Instagram account of her office, the first lady is seen on a 15-second video ripping up a sign prohibiting the taking of photos or the use social media on the White House grounds, as she laughs and makes her own sound effects. The video clip underscored the underlying purpose of the policy shift: In the digital age, virality is the whole point.

The debut of the new policy was carefully scripted: several dozen people with broad followings on Instagram were invited a week ago to come to the White House, and took

the first tours on which photography was permitted. The Obamas’ dogs, Sunny and Bo, were on hand to pose for guests.

Under the new rules, phones and compact still cameras with lenses no longer than 3 inches are allowed: video cameras, cameras with detachable lenses, tablets, tripods, monopods, and camera “selfie” sticks are still off limits.

Livestreaming and flash photography are also still banned.

Those constraints did nothing to curb the giddy reaction on social media. The hashtag #WhiteHouseTour took off on Twitter, garnering more than 1,000 mentions by the early afternoon.

ACROSS THE U.S.

Episcopalians vote to OK gay marriage SALT LAKE CITY — Episcopalians voted overwhelmingly Wednesday to allow religious weddings for same-sex couples, solidifying the church’s embrace of gay rights that began more than a decade ago with the pioneering election of the first openly gay bishop. The vote came in Salt Lake City at the Episcopal General Convention, just days after the U.S. Supreme Court legalized gay marriage nationwide. It passed in the House of Deputies, the voting body of clergy and lay participants at the meeting. The House of Bishops had approved the resolution Tuesday by 129-26 with five abstaining. Under the new rules, clergy can decline to perform the ceremonies.

D.C.: New Marine leader Lt. Gen. Robert Neller, a veteran infantry officer who commanded troops in Iraq from 2005 to 2007, has been selected to serve as the Marine Corps’ new top officer, Defense Secretary Ashton Carter said Wednesday. The general’s nomination was announced at the Pentagon. Carter called Neller a warrior, leader and statesman, and said they first got to know each other when Neller was the director of operations for the Joint Staff at the Pentagon. They collaborated on providing urgent needs to combat troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, and traveled to the war zone together.

More in U.S. use toll roads More Americans are choosing to make their trips via toll roads, contributing to steady increase in toll traffic and a growing $13 billion industry, a new report says. This year, 5.7 billion trips have been made on U.S. toll roads, up from 5 billion trips in 2011— and a 14 percent increase, according to the report by the International Bridge, Tunnel and Turnpike Association. Many of those trips are made in New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Pennsylvania and Florida, which rank as the country’s top generators of toll road revenue. Between 2011 and 2013, the number of toll road miles in the U.S. grew from 5,431 to over 5,932, the Federal Highway Administration said.

California: Cable cutters The FBI is working with police to catch vandals behind nearly a dozen fiber-optic cable cuts in the past year.

The latest snips occurred Tuesday, when someone sliced at least three fiber-optic cables in a vault in Alameda County east of San Francisco. The cuts disrupted Internet and phone service around Sacramento for 20 hours.

A spokesman said the FBI has known about the vandalism incidents and became involved last month because cable cuts in one location can affect businesses and customers in other cities and counties, requiring coordination.

N. Carolina: Shark bites A shark bit a man, 68, several times Wednesday in waist-deep water off the Outer Banks, officials said, the seventh in a record-breaking year of shark attacks for the state’s coastal waters. The man suffered wounds to his ribcage, lower leg, hip and both hands as he tried to fight off the animal, an official in Hyde County said. The attack happened around noon on a beach on Ocracoke Island, right in front of a lifeguard tower, he said.

Illinois: Red panda cubs For the first time, red panda cubs have been born at Chicago’s Lincoln Park Zoo. The zoo announced Wednesday the two cubs were born June 26 to 5-year-old Leafa. An official said the cubs weigh about 5 ounces each. Their genders are not yet known. Experts said although the animals are called pandas and look like raccoons, the cubs are not related to either species. They are native to the Himalayan mountains and are considered “vulnerable” because of habitat loss and poaching.

Montana: Polygamy license A man said Wednesday that he was inspired by last week’s U.S. Supreme Court decision legalizing gay marriage to apply for a marriage license so that he can legally wed his second wife. Nathan Collier and his wives Victoria, and Christine, applied at the Yellowstone County Courthouse in Billings on Tuesday in an attempt to legitimize their polygamous marriage. Montana, like all 50 states, outlaws bigamy — holding multiple marriage licenses — but Collier said he plans to sue if the application is denied. “It’s about marriage equality,” Collier said Wednesday. “You can’t have this without polygamy.”

Frontier exec off to Comcast Vicky Oxley, vice president and general manager for Washington, starts in her new position July 13.

By Jim Davis The Herald Business Journal

EVERETT — The Frontier Communications vice president and general manager for Washington quit last week to take a job for direct competitor Comcast.

Vicky Oxley is expected to join Comcast on July 13 as the vice president of sales and marketing.

She will work out of Comcast’s regional offices in Lynnwood.

“I’m grateful to Frontier Corp. for a wonderful opportunity to

work with great people in a great company, and I wish everyone there the best,” Oxley said in a statement released from Vicky Oxley Comcast.

“I’m excited about the opportunity to join the Comcast team and help present Xfinity’s cutting-edge products and services to current and future customers in Washington.”

A Frontier spokeswoman, when asked about the departure, released a short statement via email: “Vicky Oxley is no longer employed at Frontier Communications. As per usual, Frontier’s local general managers

are available to address any customer concerns.”

She declined to say anything more, citing a company policy to not comment on personnel matters.

Oxley has worked in the telecommunications industry in the Puget Sound area for years. She spent time at McCaw Communications and continued working for the business when it became AT&T Wireless and then Cingular.

She also worked about four years at Whatcounts, an email marketing startup in Seattle.

Oxley joined Frontier in February 2013 at the Everett office. She was in charge of a little more than 900 employees, with 480 based in Everett.

Frontier provides telephone,

Internet and video services to more than 210,000 customers in Washington, operating from Snohomish County to the Canadian border, including most of Skagit, Island and Whatcom counties.

At Comcast, Oxley will be responsible for sales and marketing initiatives that include marketing campaigns, door-todoor direct sales and 17 Xfinity stores and customer service centers that serve more than 1.3 million customers.

Comcast’s service footprint in the state runs from Centralia and Grays Harbor north to Whatcom County and includes Spokane County.

Oxley will report to the Comcast’s Washington regional senior vice president.

Under the Red Umbrella closes Owners of the popular gathering spot in north Everett will take some time off, then look for a new location.

HERALD BUSINESS JOURNAL

Under the Red Umbrella co-owner Leslie Heger stands behind the counter at her cafe in north Everett for one of the last times Wednesday. The cafe is closing after five years.

The Hegers purchased the business shortly after. In addition to the cafe and coffee, they did catering in the community.

And they hosted music on Fridays. The business employed five people.

Jim and Karen Staniford, who own Vintage Cafe in downtown Everett, stopped by the cafe

Wednesday afternoon to wish Leslie Heger luck.

Jim Staniford said he wished that the Hegers and the building owner could have resolved the lease issue.

“It’s bad for the neighborhood,” Jim Staniford said. “It’s bad for everyone to have an empty building.”

Leslie Heger said she plans to take some time off to “camp, bike and breathe a little.” And then she’ll look for a new place in another neighbhorhood that’s unique like the setting that Under the Red Umbrella occupied.

“I’m going to go away for a little bit,” Leslie Heger said. “Then I’m going to look elsewhere.”

Card counting is risky at tribal casinos

biz bits

For gamblers skilled at counting cards, it can be especially risky to play at America’s tribal casinos: Those who have gotten caught tell stories of seized winnings, wrongful detentions or worse.

Casino bosses everywhere have ways of making so-called “advantage players” feel unwelcome, regularly tossing and blacklisting them. But gamblers have limited options to press claims of mistreatment at Native American-owned properties, which generally are shielded from lawsuits in outside courts by laws recognizing tribes’ sovereignty.

Now, a pair of lawsuits in federal courts is testing the principle of tribal immunity in cases involving allegations of abuse

The U.S. government is investigating possible collusion among major airlines to limit available seats, which keeps airfares high, according to a document obtained by The Associated Press. The civil antitrust investigation by the Justice Department appears to focus on whether airlines illegally signaled to each other how quickly they would add new flights, routes and extra seats. A letter received Tuesday by major U.S. carriers demands copies of all communications the airlines had with each other, Wall Street analysts and major shareholders about their plans for passenger-carrying capacity. A Justice Department spokeswoman confirmed Wednesday that the department was investigating potential “unlawful coordination” among some airlines.

Companies in the U.S. boosted employment in June by the most in six months, signaling the job market is strengthening, according to a private report based on payrolls. The 237,000 increase followed a revised 203,000 rise in the prior month, figures from the ADP Research Institute in Roseland, New Jersey, showed Wednesday. The June gain exceeded the Bloomberg survey median projection of 44 economists that called for a 218,000 advance. Steady, broad-based growth in hiring indicates a pickup in wages, which bodes well for consumer spending and the economy. Labor Department data Thursday may show private payrolls climbed by more than 200,000 workers last month, according to the Bloomberg survey.

EVERETT — Under the Red Umbrella, a neighborhood gathering place in north Everett, closed for the last time Wednesday amid tears and hugs.

Leslie Heger, who owned the cafe and coffee shop with her husband, Dave, greeted a steady stream of well-wishers, customers and bargain hunters.

They shut down the business at 1520 Rucker Ave. a couple of weeks ago, but were selling tables, chairs and other furnishings as well as the occasional coffee.

“I’m sorry, I’m a little emotional,” said Leslie Heger, wiping her eyes while sitting in the cafe.

She and her husband couldn’t reach a long-term lease with the owner of the building at the corner of 15th Street and Rucker. The street next to the cafe was torn up as the city rebuilds the sewer line in the neighborhood. Leslie Heger said that had nothing to do with the decision to close.

Under the Red Umbrella opened in 2006, taking the name from the distinctive umbrellas at the tables outside the business.

Leslie Heger came to work for Under the Red Umbrella a little more than five years ago.

and bias in tribal justice systems.

The cases, in Connecticut and Arizona, involve crackdowns on advantage players who say they use card-counting or other methods that shift the odds in their favor, but generally are not illegal.

“You do not have a level playing field,” said Stanford Wong, a Las Vegas-based gambling expert who advises readers of his newsletters to be aware that tribal properties are governed by their own laws. “In a tribal casino, there’s no recourse whatsoever.

You can’t sue them in regular court. The odds are all stacked against you.”

winnings after accusing them of cheating at mini baccarat during a graveyard shift on Christmas Eve 2011. The gamblers said they used a card-monitoring practice called edge-sorting, which involves players being able to tell the difference between some cards because of imperfections on their nonplaying sides.

The gamblers including Cheung Yin Sun, a woman known as the “Queen of Sorts” for her card-monitoring skills, said they were denied the lawyer of their choice in tribal proceedings that ended with a ruling against them by the tribe’s gambling commission.

In the United States, there are 493 Indian casinos and 1,262 commercial casinos. In 2013, tribal casinos generated $28.3 billion in revenue while commercial properties had $37.7 billion, according to the Casino City research firm.

The options available to gamblers who want to press a claim depend on the contracts between tribes and the host states, which typically grant rights to operate locally in exchange for a share of revenue.

U.S. construction shows solid increase U.S. construction spending posted a solid gain in May, pushing total activity to the highest point since the fall of 2008, with the strength led by a big jump in non-residential projects. Total construction spending increased 0.8 percent in May, following an even bigger 2.1 percent advance in April, the Commerce Department said Wednesday. The gains pushed total activity to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $1.04 trillion, the highest level since October 2008.

Volkswagen robot kills a contractor Automaker Volkswagen said a robot killed a contractor at a production plant in Germany.

A VW spokesman said the man died Monday at the plant in Baunatal. He said Wednesday the man, 22, was part of a team that was setting up the robot when it grabbed and crushed him against a metal plate. He said initial conclusions indicate that human error was to blame, rather than a problem with the robot. Prosecutors were reportedly considering whether to bring charges, and if so, against whom.

While tribal gambling commissions answer to the same tribes that own the casinos, National Indian Gaming Commission spokesman Michael Odle in Washington said they operate independently. He said those alleging a lack of impartiality could make the same argument about federal courts handling cases involving the U.S. government.

George Henningsen, chairman of the Pequot gaming commission, said it’s difficult to dispel allegations of bias because it’s typically only losers who speak out about their experiences with tribal justice.

A handful of lawyers around the country with expertise in gambling disputes say the worst horror stories are at tribal casinos. While some hope to bring pressure to put tribal properties on the same legal footing as commercial casinos, one attorney, Bob Nersesian, said he is more

In the Arizona case, advantage players filed suit after they were detained on suspicion of cheating in 2011 at the Mazatzal Casino, owned by the Tonto Apache Tribe. A federal judge in Arizona last year ruled that sovereign immunity did not apply because tribal officials involved were named in their individual capacities, and an appeals court affirmed that decision Tuesday.

One of the plaintiffs, Rahne Pistor, said the officers who detained him did not identify themselves as police and grabbed his genitals as they assaulted him.

“I simply had won more money than they liked,” Pistor said, “so they kidnapped me, handcuffed me, forced me into an isolated back room in the casino and physically stole whatever money they could out of my pocket.”

Nersesian, the plaintiffs’ attorney in the Mazatzal case, said such disputes do not discourage advantage players from visiting tribal casinos. If anything, he said, they draw them out in greater numbers by showing the games can be beaten. “It’s more like somebody dying from a hot shot of heroin,” he said. “As soon as that happens, the market goes up, not down.”

Toyota, Nissan, Honda back hydrogen stations for fuel cells Associated Press TOKYO — Toyota, Nissan and Honda are working together to get more fuel cell vehicles on roads in what they call Japan’s big push toward “a hydrogen society.”

Fuel cell vehicles emit no pollution.

They run on the power created when hydrogen stored as fuel combines with oxygen in the air to make water.

Hydrogen fueling stations are needed to make the technology a viable option.

Only 23 have opened in Japan so far, with hundreds more being planned.

The automakers pledged up to $90,000 per hydrogen station per year, to build and maintain them.

Officials from Toyota Motor Corp., Nissan Motor Co. and Honda Motor Co. appeared together in a news conference in Tokyo on Wednesday.

The stations already get government subsidies, but they are very expensive and are operating in the red. The automakers’ financing is designed to alleviate

that, and proliferation of the technology is expected to lower costs.

Japan is trying to get ahead of the rest of the world in a push for a hydrogen society, which requires energy companies, automakers and the government to work together.

Japan also wants to make fuel cells a showcase for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

The concern about running out of fossil fuels affects many nations, but it’s especially telling for resource-poor Japan.

Green auto technology is also critical to curb global warming.

Toyota executive Kiyotaka Ise said automakers have to play an active role in promoting fuel cells.

Hitoshi Kawaguchi, an executive from Nissan, said automakers can compete in products, including fuel cell cars, but they have to cooperate in infrastructure, such as hydrogen fueling stations.

The total value of support the automakers plan for the stations is estimated at about $40 to $50 million, they said.

A Chevrolet Sonic is assembled at the Orion Assembly plant in Orion Township, Michigan, on June 22. General Motors has announced plans to invest $245 million and add 300 jobs there.

Chrysler, Ford sales up, GM’s decline 3 percent Detroit Free Press DETROIT — Sales of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles cars and trucks rose 8 percent in June; Ford was up almost 2 percent, and General Motors fell 3 percent, but the industry remains on track for its best year since 2005.

Nissan’s sales jumped 13 percent, led by a 54 percent sales surge for its small crossover, the Rogue.

Toyota’s sales increased 4 percent across its Toyota, Lexus and Scion divisions as sales of its light trucks (pickups, SUVs, crossovers and vans) rose by almost 17 percent. Honda posted a 4 percent increase across all Honda and Acura models. Volkswagen was down almost 6 percent.

Subaru sales rose 7.2 percent on the strength of a 45 percent increase in its Legacy sedan and a 6 percent gain for its best-selling Forester SUV. In June, automakers likely sold about 1.5 million vehicles, or about 5 percent more than the same month last year. TrueCar President John Krafcik estimated the annual selling pace for

June at 17.4 million, slightly below May’s torrid 17.8 million pace.

At 2015’s halfway mark the National Automobile Dealers Association revised its forecast from 16.94 to 17.17 million for the entire year. For 2016, NADA is forecasting sales of 17.62 new cars and light trucks.

“Purchases and leases of new cars and light trucks will continue as a stronger overall economy continues to drive demand,” said NADA Chief Economist Steven Szakaly during a quarterly economic briefing Wednesday. “While we’ve had a slower than normal recovery from this recession, we are seeing the sixth consecutive year of new light vehicle sales growth.”

Kelley Blue Book also increased its 2015 forecast to 17.1 million sales which would exceed 2005’s 16.99 million mark and approach 2001’s 17.2 million.

“Demand for SUVs and trucks continue to drive the market, which resulted in several top automakers posting higher sales in the month of June,” said analyst Mark Williams.

“Transaction prices continue to climb, increasing 2.5 percent in June from last year, bringing the average up to $33,340.” That would be $821 higher than a year earlier.

Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas said he expects the auto cycle to remain strong through 2017 because interest rates are low, consumer sentiment is getting stronger and gas prices have not risen too steeply.

Subprime loans, a concern among some industry leaders and analysts, are at about 11 percent of all new car loans compared with 20 percent in 2007.

For June, sales at FCA US were boosted by a 28 percent increase for its Chrysler brand and a 25 percent increase for Jeep while sales rose 2 percent for Ram. However, sales fell 14 percent for Dodge and a whopping 30 percent for the Fiat brand, which continues to struggle.

The company sold more than 4,800 Jeep Renegades in June during the new compact SUV’s third full month on sale in the U.S. and said sales of the Chrysler 200 were up 153 percent.

Best chance at own water rule and bays. That standard, previously set in 1974, assumed the average person ate less than 2 ounces of fish a week, a paltry amount for most state residents, even more so for members of Indian tribes in the state. The Department of Ecology this year proposed a rule based on a daily fish-consumption rate of 175 grams, about 6 ounces. Using that rate, the state wanted rules that set allowable chemical concentrations in state waters that would set the risk of cancer at 1 in 100,000. The EPA is instead seeking a cancer risk rate of 1 in 1 million, a standard backed by state tribes and environmental groups.

Under the states’ rules, the new standards would be two to 20 times more protective regarding 70 percent of the chemicals of concern. Standards for the remaining 30

percent would be maintained at the current limits.

Inslee had sought to strengthen his hand with the EPA by proposing legislation that would have addressed water quality by finding ways to eliminate some of the chemical contamination at the source. By limiting use of certain chemicals in industry that are used in everyday products, such as brake pads, flame retardants in furniture, softeners in plastics and metal in roofing material, those same contaminants, then, don’t have to be removed from water down the line.

But that legislation was weakened a little in the House, even more in the Senate, and had been left untouched since then as lawmakers hashed out budget deals this week.

The EPA hasn’t gone

listened to the public while it partnered with the executive, electeds and all county staff in making budgetary changes that preserved the integrity of county programs while allowing the county to financially keep its head above water.

John Lovick, as sheriff and county executive, has not demonstrated fiscal discipline.

Whether increasing operational expenditures or putting together a plan for a new courthouse, Lovick has not kept his eye on the budget ball.

Despite a booming economy and increased property tax rates, the county’s general fund reserves have dropped and the county faces an uncomfortable level of risk to any downturn in the regional economy.

I endorse Dave Somers for county executive because of his strong record in making tough decisions. He has demonstrated good financial management sense that we need. I encourage others to join me in supporting his candidacy.

anywhere, however. While the federal agency’s more stringent limit appears to offer greater protection, it may be requiring a standard that industry and even municipal water treatment plants can’t meet, even with the best available technology. Setting an unachievable standard does nothing more to protect health than did the old standards.

Gov. Inslee and the Ecology Department can still move ahead with the state’s own clean water rule, and should.

But the clean water legislation would have helped the state retain control, rather than surrender it to the EPA. The final gavel has yet to fall in Olympia. If lawmakers hope to avoid a more stringent federal rule, they should pass the legislation before adjournment sine die.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■EVERETT

History museum still needs home Recently my wife and I received an invitation to the annual meeting of the Everett Museum of History, undoubtedly because of our donation toward the purchase of a computer system to catalogue relics from Everett and Snohomish County’s history.

We were given a friendly welcome and enjoyed a slide presentation of some of the artifacts in the collection.

My wife and I are from two different towns in Western Washington and have lived in south Everett for more than 40 years. As non-natives, we do not have the connections to Everett’s past that many attending the meeting have.

But one sad fact was glaringly apparent to us, that a city the size of Everett, with its colorful, fascinating history, does not have a permanent home for displaying the wonderful artifacts which are presently in storage around the area.

Another fact is that Everett is especially blessed to have a dedicated group of people who have a wide range of knowledge about this city and county’s history. They are an invaluable asset for the establishment of a permanent museum and the education of the public about the unique development of Everett from its earliest times.

We sincerely hope that Everett does not miss this grand opportunity, and that this dedicated group is successful in its quest to establish a permanent historical museum for all citizens to enjoy.

Somers displays fiscal discipline

As the budget official for Snohomish County between 1999 and 2013, I worked closely with both Snohomish County Executive John Lovick and County Council Chair Dave Somers.

I respect both of these men.

However, I am confident in endorsing only Dave Somers in the upcoming election.

Dave Somers was Snohomish County Council Chairman in the fall of 2008 when the executive delivered a recommended 2009 budget to the council. We felt the proposed budget was appropriately conservative, but it did not anticipate the most intense financial market collapse since the Great Depression that occurred in the following weeks. During October and November, Dave Somers presided over an inclusive process that made significant and necessary cuts to the recommended budget. Under Dave’s leadership, the council

GUEST COMMENTARY | Wildfire danger

A plea to stow July 4 fireworks this year

By Bruce Albert

I

n almost forty years of living in Index I have never seen conditions this dry, or fire hazards this high, in our town this early in the summer. Outside of town the U.S. Forest Service fire hazard sign points to “High” with Industrial Precaution Class ll. There is a ban on campfires in state parks state wide, even in fire grates, and other partial or full burn and campfire bans on state Department of Natural Resources protected lands.

Portions of local firefighting resources have been dispatched to other areas of the state where fires are ongoing.

Gov. Jay Inslee has issued a

statement urging citizens to forego or limit discharge of fireworks over this July 4 holiday weekend.

If a fire begins in or near Index in these conditions it will be difficult or impossible to extinguish without major property damage. I don’t want people to lose their homes. In short, I consider conditions to be extreme, and I consider the discharge of fireworks under these conditions to pose an unacceptable risk to the community. At this time, without a proper declaration from the governor, I lack the authority to ban fireworks discharge outright. If such a declaration is forthcoming I will immediately proclaim a ban in town.

I am today asking each and all of you to voluntarily forego the discharge of fireworks this Fourth of July. For those of you unwilling to do so, I ask of you that you be extremely cautious and mindful of the possible consequences of your actions. Remember that you are the one legally and morally responsible for all consequences of those actions including damage to the property of others. Wet areas down before and after use; maintain a fire watc, and have fire-suppression means at hand.

In the absence of a complete ban, the town will enforce the letter of the fireworks law. In brief: 1. Consumer fireworks

IN OUR VIEW | Water quality

Even with two special sessions and counting, there were issues that the Legislature didn’t get to this year. But with lawmakers’ likely failure to pass legislation that would have helped the state Department of Ecology develop and enforce water quality rules, the state may now be turning over the issue to the federal Environmental Protection Agency.

As the federal agency continues its own work under the federal Clean Water Act, the state Department of Ecology and Gov. Jay Inslee had proposed developing the state’s own standards that would have then been submitted for approval by the EPA. The idea was to set standards that would result in water clean enough to allow state residents to eat the fish that swim in our rivers, lakes

Resisting court ruling will only lead to regret

A

fter the Supreme Court’s historic 1954 ruling in Brown v. Board of Education, Southern politicians adopted a strategy that became known as “massive resistance.” It doomed the South to a losing battle not just against the court, but a majority of Americans.

Some GOP conservatives may be DAVID IGNATIUS on the verge of making a similar mistake in the aftermath of the court’s ruling last week supporting samesex marriage. At the very time moderate Republicans want to escape positions that isolate them from an increasingly diverse and tolerant country, some hard-right leaders seem ready to double down on a limiting version of “traditional values.”

Poll numbers show why defiance is likely to be a losing strategy. According to the Pew Research Center, 57 percent of Americans support gay marriage. In the aftermath of the court’s decision, this number will probably grow, especially among the younger voters the GOP needs to attract. Among millennials, born after 1980, 73 percent support same-sex marriage.

Whether the GOP follows the road of resistance depends on how the party’s leadership reads the political mood.

Denunciations of the ruling came from some right-wing presidential candidates, such as former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee. “I will not acquiesce to an imperial court any more than our Founders acquiesced to an imperial British monarch. We must resist and reject judicial tyranny, not retreat,” he thundered.

Some moderate Republicans, such as Jeb Bush and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, straddled the issue, dissenting from the court but promising to uphold the law.

Deference to the court seems to be prevailing, for now, among lower-level officials, even in conservative states. The New York Times reported Monday that “officials in states across the South, citing the rule of law, softened their defiance and began offering marriage licenses to gay and lesbian couples.”

The most powerful and potentially polarizing dissent came from Sen. Ted Cruz, a Harvard Law graduate and former Supreme Court clerk. He told NPR’s Steve Inskeep that the five justices supporting same-sex marriage are “disregarding their oaths.” He proposed a constitutional amendment that would make justices subject to a “periodic judicial retention election.”

Cruz’s language was so extreme that it seemed almost a call to ignore or disobey the court. “There is no obligation on others in government to accept the court as the final arbiter of every constitutional question,” Cruz said.

Such intemperate language may have been encouraged by the sneering tone of Justice Antonin Scalia’s dissent. Constitutional scholar Garrett Epps compiled in The Atlantic some of Scalia’s nastier comments about the majority opinion from Justice Anthony Kennedy. Scalia said Kennedy’s ruling was written “in a style as pretentious as its content is egoistic,” was “lacking even a thin veneer of law,” and expressed “the mystical aphorisms of the fortune cookie.”

These conservative ripostes recall the aggrieved language used by Southerners after the Supreme Court ruled that school segregation was illegal. Conservatives asserted then the South’s deeply held values and way of life had been attacked.

Southern conservatives were at first unsure how far to press their dissent, but that vacuum was filled by Sen. Harry F. Byrd.

“If we can organize the Southern States for massive resistance to this order I think that in time the rest of the country will realize that racial integration is not going to be accepted in the South,” Byrd said in his famous February 1956 speech. In line with the resistance strategy, schools were closed and court orders were ignored. It took federal troops to eventually impose desegregation.

This is the dark American past toward which some far-right Republicans seem to want to steer their party. The problem is that court-bashing may be good politics for candidates seeking support from older, whiter, more religious voters in the crowded GOP field.

History tells us that intolerance is a losing bet in America, and that those who embrace defiance of the courts regret it later. The Richmond Times-Dispatch apologized to its readers in 2009 for its “editorial enthusiasm for a dreadful doctrine” a half-century before. “The record fills us with regret.”

Winton, savior of children, dies at 106 The Washington Post

HU RR Y!

EN TR IE

BY S M JU US LY T 12 BE , 2 RE 01 CE 5. IV ED

“Who’s helping the children?”

That was the question that Nicholas Winton, a 29-year-old English stockbroker, asked when he found himself in Prague in 1938. As war loomed in Europe, humanitarian groups had initiated efforts to aid Jews, political refugees and other groups endangered by Hitler’s advancing threat. But Winton found no such effort under way specifically for the children of Czechoslovakia.

Inspired by the Kindertransport, a rescue operation then in place for children in Germany and Nazi-occupied Austria, Winton set about a mission he called his “wartime gesture.” He was credited with saving, through his personal initiative, the lives of at least 669 boys and girls. For decades after the war, he kept his work secret.

By the time of his death on July 1 at 106, Winton was internationally celebrated as a hero of the Holocaust. He appeared uncomfortable with the honors bestowed on him, which included a knighthood from Queen Elizabeth II, and remarked that the work accounted for “just nine months in a very long life.”

Those nine months began in December 1938. By that time, European powers had signed the Munich Agreement, which allowed Nazi Germany to annex the Czech territory known as the Sudetenland. British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain predicted that the agreement would bring “peace for our time.”

Winton was preparing for a ski trip when he received a call from his travel companion, Martin Blake.

“The skiing’s off,” Winton later recalled his friend saying. “I am off to Prague instead. I have a most interesting assignment and I need your help. Come as soon as you can. And don’t bother bringing your skis.”

Blake, a schoolteacher, was associated with the British Committee for Refugees from Czechoslovakia, an organization

PETR DAVID JOSEK / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Sir Nicholas Winton in Prague, Czech Republic, in 2014

created to assist Jews and other targets of Nazi persecution who left the Sudetenland after the German occupation.

“I called myself Honorary Secretary of the Children’s Section of the British Committee for Refugees from Czechoslovakia,” Winton said in 1989. “The other people,” he added, referring to government bureaucrats and others confronted with his doggedness, “they just called me a bloody nuisance.”

Winton occupied a hotel room in Prague’s Wenceslas Square and later an office where, over several weeks, he collected applications from parents seeking a way out of Czechoslovakia for their children. Thousands of families lined up outside his door, according to an account by the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum.

“Each group felt that they were the most urgent,” Winton said. “How could I, or anyone else in London, choose the most urgent cases? Often it was heartbreaking.”

With the applications in hand, Winton returned to England and began seeking host families for the children. He wrote letters to government leaders around the world, including in the U.S. Nearly all of them turned down his requests for assistance. “If America had only agreed to take them, too,” he said, “I could have

saved at least 2,000 more.”

Sweden agreed to take in some of the young refugees, as did Britain — provided that Winton could identify families willing to care for the children until they were 17 years old. The government also required that he secure the staggering sum of 50 pounds per child for their eventual return home.

Many of the children would lose their parents in the Nazi death camps and had no home to return to after the war.

While holding down his job and with help from assistants, Winton gathered or forged travel documents for the children, raised the necessary funds and recruited host families.

In Czechoslovakia, he had the foresight to photograph the children looking for homes. To prospective host families, those haunting images proved more compelling than a list of names.

“It was a nasty, commercial way of doing things,” Winton said years later, “but it was effective.”

The host families came from Jewish, Christian and other religious backgrounds. Decades after the war, Winton recalled the resistance he encountered from some rabbis, who perhaps at that time did not yet fully realize the degree of danger facing the Jews of Europe.

“One day, a couple of rabbis

arrived at my home and said that they understood that some of the good Jewish children whom I was bringing over to this country were going to Christian homes,” he told the London Daily Telegraph.

“And that must stop, they told me.

And I said: ‘Well, it won’t stop. If you prefer a dead Jew in Prague to a live one who is being brought up in a Christian home, that is your problem, not mine.’ ” The first group left Prague by air on March 14, 1939, one day before Nazi Germany invaded the Czech areas of Bohemia and Moravia. Seven subsequent transports — the last of them departed Aug. 2, 1939 — carried the children by train through Europe and then by ship across the English Channel.

Winton said he saw them only briefly at the Liverpool Street railway station in London before they were collected by their new families.

“Inside I was cheering like a football match, but outwardly I was calm and quiet,” he said years later. “I knew that for every Jewish child safely deposited on the platform that day, there were hundreds more still trapped in Czechoslovakia. And I knew that because I was organizing this emigration entirely on my own, I wouldn’t be able to bring out a fraction of those in such terrible danger.”

The last train was scheduled to depart on Sept. 3, 1939, carrying about 250 children — the largest of Winton’s transports. But Germany had invaded Poland two days earlier, war was declared and the borders were closed.

None of the children slated to leave on that train are believed to have survived.

“Terrible,” Winton said. “It doesn’t bear thinking about.”

According to the Holocaust museum, Winton was born Nicholas Wertheimer (other sources say Wertheim) on May 19, 1909, in West Hampstead, England.

His parents, who were of German-Jewish ancestry, baptized him in the Anglican Church and changed the family name

to Winton. He said he was not religious.

Asked whether he helped the Czech children because of his own heritage, Winton said: “That’s for a psychologist to answer. I didn’t do it consciously because I had any Jewish blood in me. ... When I set out to try to bring children in from Czechoslovakia, I didn’t do it because they were Jewish children. I did it because they were children.”

During the war, Winton worked as a Red Cross ambulance driver in France and in England during the London Blitz. He later joined the Royal Air Force. After the war, he involved himself in humanitarian activities, including refugee assistance, overseeing the sale of Nazi loot, distributing the proceeds to Holocaust survivors and handling monetary loans in the recovering nations of Europe.

He also raised money for British organizations benefiting the elderly and the disabled and coowned a popsicle factory before retiring in 1967.

In the late 1980s, Winton’s wife, the former Grete Gjelstrup, was rooting through the attic when she came upon a scrapbook containing documents related to the wartime rescue effort. He had never mentioned it to her.

“I suppose there are quite a number of things that husbands don’t tell their wives,” Winton told Matej Minac, who directed several films about the story, including “All My Loved Ones” (1999), “The Power of Good: Nicholas Winton” (2002) and “Nicky’s Family” (2011).

The scrapbook made its way to Elisabeth Maxwell, the Holocaust scholar and wife of newspaper magnate Robert Maxwell. Soon, Winton found himself featured in British newspapers and on the BBC television program “That’s Life!”

“May I ask, is there anyone in our audience tonight who owes their life to Nicholas Winton?” the host, Esther Rantzen, inquired. “If so, could you stand up, please?”

To Winton’s shock, everyone around him rose.

Fires plague the hot, dry areas of state

Witness: Man told Pasco police ‘shoot me’

Associated Press Just days after a wildfire tore through homes in Wenatchee, a new blaze in the hot, dry region has burned some buildings and forced about two dozen residents to flee. The fire has charred more than 3 square miles of dry sagebrush and grass near the city of Quincy and destroyed five abandoned buildings or outbuildings, the Grant County Sheriff ’s Office said early Wednesday. No homes have been lost, but several are threatened, according to the fire marshal’s office.

Winds whipped the flames through farmland, vineyards and some steep terrain starting late Tuesday. It’s not clear what ignited it, but no injuries have been reported. State firefighting resources helped partially contain the blaze northeast of Quincy, which is roughly 30 miles southeast of Wenatchee.

A fire in that city destroyed more than two dozen houses and several businesses and forced evacuations this week.

Investigators have ruled out natural causes, such as lightning, but they’re still looking into whether the fire was set on purpose or by accident, authorities said at Wednesday news briefing.

The blaze, which began Sunday and has scorched more than 4 square miles, was the worst so far this season as the state struggles with a severe drought.

Another wildfire in central Washington burned nearly 5½ square miles of sagebrush and grass south of the small town of Mansfield, about 40 miles northeast of Wenatchee. That fire was halfway contained by Tuesday night and no longer threatened homes.

Barbara Bennett, president and CEO of Vulcan Inc. (right), speaks at a news conference Wednesday in Seattle, announcing that a campaign to toughen penalties in the state for the sale or purchase of products from endangered animals will be turning in enough signatures to quality for the ballot. Behind her (from left) are Mark Plunkett of the Seattle Aquarium, Fred Koontz of the Woodland Park Zoo, and Jennifer Hillman of the Human Society.

Animal protectors collect enough signatures for ballot Associated Press SEATTLE — Supporters of an initiative to help protect endangered animals that are being poached or exploited say they’ve collected enough signatures to get their proposal on the November ballot.

The Initiative 1401 Campaign held a press conference

at the Seattle Aquarium on Wednesday to announce that they are turning in 348,627 signatures to the state Elections Office. That’s 100,000 more than they needed to qualify for the ballot.

The initiative aims to strengthen Washington’s penalties for selling or buying products made from

endangered animals.

The list of threatened species includes elephants, rhinos, lions, tigers, leopards, cheetahs, marine turtles and shark.

The effort is supported by philanthropist Paul Allen and Vulcan Inc., the Humane Society and the Woodland Park Zoo.

Columbia River hottest since 1950 Associated Press VANCOUVER, Wash. — The Columbia River is the warmest it has been since 1950.

The Seattle Times reported the water temperature in the Lower Columbia River at Bonneville Dam was nearly 71 degrees Monday.

Not only is that the hottest it’s been in decades, the recent 10-year average temperature on June 28 is 63 degrees.

Phone app links 911 to volunteers ‘PulsePoint’ is coming to Snohomish County once money is raised

By Tom Banse Northwest Public Radio

SPOKANE — Would you let your smartphone share your location if it meant that one day you could come to a stranger’s rescue?

In certain Northwest cities now, 911 dispatch sends out mobile phone alerts to citizen responders nearby when a person requires cardiopulmonary resuscitation in a public place.

A free smartphone app called PulsePoint automatically notifies users when there’s a cardiac emergency nearby. It’s tied in to participating 911 dispatch centers. The idea is for citizen responders to start CPR while medics are still on the way.

Last September, Karen Garrison went shopping with her children at a ballet store in Spokane. It was there her youngest child, baby Nolan, stopped breathing.

“It was such a blur,” Garrison said. “Someone yelled, ‘Call 911! He’s not breathing.’ He was blue.”

The shopkeeper immediately dialed for help.

“I don’t know CPR,” Garrison said. “So I was just holding him basically until I assumed the ambulance would arrive first.”

At that moment about a block and a half away, master mechanic Jeff Olson was fixing a car at the Perfection Tire garage.

Olson had downloaded PulsePoint six months earlier and his smartphone squawked to life.

“The phone went off. I thought, ‘That’s kind of strange,’ ” Olson recalled. “ ‘CPR needed.’

It gave me an address. And I’m going, ‘Wow, that’s just a short (way away).’ ” Olson knew that seconds count in such a situation since he moonlights as a volunteer EMT with an ambulance service north of Spokane. He said he

washed his hands “real quick” and dashed to the scene.

“I asked her what’s happening and then scooped up the baby and put him in my arm and started doing some rescue breathing for him,” Olson said.

A life-saving difference “The more responders we can get there that can switch out (doing) CPR and keep that person’s blood pumping until we have professional responders there, the more likely that person is going to survive,” Spokane Fire Department Assistant Chief Brian Schaeffer said.

Earlier this month, the New England Journal of Medicine published the results of randomized, controlled trial in Stockholm, Sweden, involving volunteers trained in CPR and a mobile phone technology similar to PulsePoint. That study determined the targeted mobile phone alerts significantly increased the likelihood that cardiac arrest patients received CPR from a lay bystander.

Spokane County and the Portland-Vancouver-Salem metro area were the first communities in the Northwest to adopt PulsePoint. Spokane County implemented the app in early 2014 and it rolled out incrementally in Portland’s environs starting in 2013. The app was invented about five years ago by a fire chief from Northern California named Richard Price.

Schaeffer said in the Spokane area the app triggers an alert to citizen responders within a quarter-mile of an incident about 150 times per year. Some percentage of those make a life-saving difference, although the chief can’t say exactly how many. Good Samaritans emerge in varying ways and then often disappear before they can be debriefed and thanked.

“Anybody can be a rescuer. It is that simple,” Schaeffer said.

“In fact traditionally, we used to teach CPR in fire stations. We don’t do that anymore. It’s all on the internet.”

Schaeffer said in the case of baby Nolan, the nearest fire engine was on another call. So it took more than five minutes for medics to arrive. Citizen responder Jeff Olson and the PulsePoint app got credit for saving baby Nolan’s life.

Olson didn’t know the Garrison family before, but now eight months later they’ve become reacquainted under happier circumstances. On a recent visit to the Garrison home, Olson cooed over the smiling baby and was welcomed like a fast friend.

Michael Garrison, Nolan’s father, said the baby has underlying health issues, but made a full recovery from the respiratory arrest episode. Garrison now wants everyone at the coffeehouse he owns trained in CPR and signed up with PulsePoint.

“This is the point of the app on your phone,” he said. “It’s not just Angry Birds. It is not just things to waste your life. It’s actually... a perfect example of a selfless app that is there to help other people.”

‘No risk to a Good Samaritan’ Schaeffer said community members frequently ask about cost, privacy and liability when he promotes PulsePoint.

Regarding privacy, Schaeffer explained that the app shares your current location with 911 call centers, but cannot track a user over time. The PulsePoint app does not transmit the app user’s name to authorities.

Neither do citizen responders receive the name of a person in distress, only the address at

which CPR is urgently needed.

The bystander alert software is further programmed to exclude cardiac arrest calls from private residences so those do not trigger a PulsePoint activation.

“There is no risk to a Good Samaritan that renders aid,” assured Schaeffer regarding the concern about liability for failed life-saving actions.

Spokane Fire Department Assistant Chief Brian Schaeffer describes another “save” credited to PulsePoint, which happened along the crowded race course of the 2014 Bloomsday 12K Run in Spokane.

The uptake by emergency dispatch centers in the Northwest has been scattershot.

Some departments such as Olympia-Thurston County discovered their dispatch software is incompatible with the app.

In Boise, an administrator said other 911 upgrades have higher priority.

PulsePoint is coming to the region’s biggest metro area — Seattle/King County and adjacent Snohomish County — once they raise the money to cover the startup costs.

The Seattle-based Medic One Foundation leads the effort to bring PulsePoint to the Puget Sound area. A specific date for a rollout has not been announced.

“When it gets here, it will be a great addition,” Medic One Foundation Executive Director Jan Sprake said. She said she is looking for community sponsorships to support the launch.

Redmond, Washington-based Physio-Control has taken over distribution and marketing of the CPR notification app in a partnership with its developer, the PulsePoint Foundation.

Emergency communications centers that deploy the app pay an annual licensing fee on a sliding scale of $8,000 to $28,000 depending on population.

SPOKANE — A witness said an unarmed Mexican immigrant fatally shot by police in Pasco fought with an officer, threw rocks and told officers to shoot him before they opened fire, documents released Wednesday show.

Witness Miguel Estrada, who was interviewed the day after the Feb. 10 shooting in Pasco, said he saw Antonio ZambranoMontes throw rocks at officers then run away.

In the files released by authorities, Estrada said Zambrano-Montes screamed at officers: “‘If you are gonna shoot me, shoot me.”’

The death of Zambrano-Montes was captured on video and sparked months of protests in the agricultural center in Eastern Washington.

A prosecutor is deciding whether the three officers who shot Zambrano-Montes should face criminal charges, a process likely to take months. Another witness, Chris Pirtle, also told authorities Zambrano-Montes dared officers to shoot.

“He kept on throwing the rocks, and the cop was telling him, ‘Hey, put down the rock,’ ” Pirtle said.

Zambrano-Montes didn’t comply, witnesses said.

“He just kept telling him, ‘Shoot me, kill me,’ ” Pirtle said.

The newly released data included video from witnesses and raw audio files. In one audio file, witness Benjamin Patrick told investigators he yelled at officers after Zambrano-Montes was shot.

“Why did you just shoot him?”

Patrick said he shouted. “He was trying to get away. What are you guys doing?”

Patrick later said during questioning he wanted to apologize to the officers for his outburst.

He did not explain why.

Authorities say ZambranoMontes had been throwing rocks at passing motorists and police, and a stun gun failed to subdue him before he was shot.

Cellphone video showed three officers chasing Zambrano-Montes before shooting him as he turned around.

Franklin County Prosecutor Shawn Sant issued a statement with the document release, saying he was still deciding if the three officers would be charged with any crimes.

One, Ryan Flanagan, has resigned in a move his lawyer said was unrelated to the shooting. The other two, Adam Wright and Adrian Alaniz, remain on paid leave. They have not commented publicly on the shooting.

“The right decision is more important than a quick decision,” Sant said about the possibility of filing charges.

Patrick told investigators he saw Zambrano-Montes pick up what appeared to be a dirt clod and throw it at officers. He recalled two bursts of gunfire from the officers, even though Zambrano-Montes “wasn’t acting very violent at that time.”

Just before the second round of shots, the officers yelled at Zambrano-Montes to put down the rock, he said.

“He looked like he was trying to put it down,” Patrick said.

An independent autopsy commissioned by attorney Charles Herrmann, who represents Zambrano-Montes’ parents, showed the man suffered seven entrance wounds, including one to his buttocks and one to the back of his right arm. The other wounds were in the front.

The officers fired a total of 17 shots.

Patrick said he was upset by the shooting because it did not appear the officers were in danger. “I think they could have done something else,” Patrick said.

M’s shut down Padres again

Schmid regrets Open Cup comment Sounders coach reiterates he would never touch a ref, shouldn’t have left bench.

By Don Ruiz The News Tribune

TUKWILA — A series of Seattle Sounders apologies stemming from their U.S. Open Cup match on June 16 continued Wednesday, when coach Sigi Schmid spoke with local media.

“The last two weeks have certainly been a tough period for the team,” Schmid said. “And a lot of people are pointing back to the Open Cup game, and people look at that game and say, ‘Three red cards: It must have been a really chippy, contentious game.’

I didn’t think it was a chippy, contentious game, per se. But certainly the thing I want to make sure of is the statement that I made after the game, you know in 40 years of coach- Sigi Schmid: ing I’ve never “...in 40 years touched a referee, of coaching nor would I ever I’ve never touched a do that.”

D e f e n d i n g referee, nor champion Seattle would I ever was eliminated do that.” from the Open Cup by Portland that night, 3-1, in extra time. Along the way, three Sounders received red cards: Brad Evans after being shown his second yellow, Micheal Azira for a hard tackle, and Clint Dempsey after grabbing, tearing and tossing the referee’s notebook.

Schmid left the bench area before the final whistle, and after the game he was asked why. His answer: “I just walked away from the bench because I was maybe going to choke a referee; so I figured I’d walk away before I did something stupid.”

In one way, the answer was responsible: sensing a possible loss of control, he took himself out of a heated situation. However, the phrase “choke a referee” is still one Schmid and the organization wish hadn’t been uttered.

“I did want to remove myself,” Schmid said. “Not that I would have done what I said — because that was never something that was on my mind — but just to get myself out of the situation and stop from saying anything stupid — which I ended up saying afterwards. ... At the end of the day, for sure it was the wrong thing to say; and I probably should have stayed on the bench area, as frustrating as it was.”

Fallout came quickly. Schmid apologized after the Sounders’ next training session. Then owner

Walker, Cano star as Seattle shuts out San Diego for second straight game

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

SAN DIEGO — Taijuan Walker was sailing along with a one-hit shutout Wednesday afternoon when Seattle Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon opted for a pinch-hitter in the seventh inning.

The Mariners had a one-run lead at time, and McClendon was gambling they could get to San

Sheer dominance

Diego starter James Shields, who had pushed past 100 pitches.

The strategy paid off.

The Mariners drew two walks from a tiring Shields and got an RBI single from Robinson Cano against reliever Frank Garcas in what turned into a 7-0 romp over the Padres at Petco Park.

Don’t be deceived. It was a lot closer until the end. Nelson Cruz’s 20th home run of the season capped a four-run ninth

inning after a mind-boggling throwing error by Padres shortstop Alexi Amarista.

But know this: Walker (7-6)

was dominant again in striking out seven and walking none.

He is 6-1 with a 1.68 earned-run average over his last seven starts with 51 strikeouts and three walks. He has not walked a batter in his last four starts.

So, obvious question: Why pull him after just 76 pitches in a 1-0 lead with two outs and a runner on second?

Heartbreaking finish for England England own goal in stoppage time lifts Japan into World Cup final against the U.S.

By John Wawrow Associated Press

EDMONTON, Alberta — Laura Bassett scored into her own net during second-half stoppage time, giving Japan a 2-1 victory over England in a Women’s World Cup semifinal.

The decisive goal Wednesday came when Japan’s Nahomi Kawasumi drove up the right side and sent a cross into the middle for Yuki Ogimi. Bassett reached out with her right foot and caught the ball flush, inadvertently sending it toward her

net. The ball struck the crossbar and bounced in just before goalkeeper Karen Bardsley could get across.

The defending champions advanced to play the United States in the championship game at Vancouver on Sunday. It’s a rematch of the 2011 championship game in Germany, when Japan won on penalty kicks after a 2-2 draw.

The U.S. is 24-1-6 against Japan.

“However we played in this game, the fact is, we’re going to the final,” Japan coach Norio Sasaki said through an

interpreter. “And I’d like to congratulate the players for that. ...

We should really cherish this moment that we are going to the final.”

Bassett was inconsolable at the end of the match, lying flat on the ground, her face in the turf.

She then needed assistance from teammates and her coach before leaving the field.

“This team can’t be afraid to cry,” England coach Mark Sampson said. “There’s nothing wrong with that at all.”

Blatter won’t attend Women’s World Cup final in Canada Associated Press MONTREAL — FIFA President Sepp Blatter will skip the Women’s World Cup final in Canada, avoiding a visit to North America at a time when U.S. officials are pursuing a criminal investigation into the soccer’s ruling body.

Blatter’s second-in-command, secretary general Jerome Valcke, also will be absent “due to their current commitments in Zurich,” FIFA said in a statement on Tuesday.

FIFA Senior Vice President Issa Hayatou of Cameroon will present the World Cup trophy to the winner of Sunday’s game, The New York Times reported on Tuesday. A FIFA spokeswoman said an announcement on the trophy presentation would be made “in due time.”

U.S. Soccer spokesman Neil Buethe said it would have no comment.

The other commitments mean FIFA’s top two officials will avoid a trip to Vancouver, which is about 25 miles north of the U.S. border, while American authorities are building a corruption case against members of the governing body.

The United States has indicted 14 men, including nine soccer officials and five marketing executives, and implicated them in widespread bribery and racketeering in organizing competitions in North and South America. Four more men have made guilty pleas.

WAYNE KRUSE

O

n July 9, 1955, Kentucky resident David Lee Hayes was vacationing with his family on Dale Hollow Lake, along the Tennessee/Kentucky border. David Lee went fishing, of course, as he had a reputation to uphold. Folks said he was probably the best bass and walleye fisherman on the lake, and it didn’t take him long that day to prove everyone correct.

He was using a True Temper steel rod (cutting edge gear in those days), a Penn Peer 209 reel and 20-pound test line. Trolling his favorite bass lure, a 600 series pearl Bomber diving plug, with 300 feet of line out, he was working the edge of weed beds between two islands.

Cutting to the chase, Hayes boated an 11-pound, 15-ounce smallmouth which was accepted

by Field & Stream Magazine as a new world record. Before the International Game Fish Association took over, the magazine was the keeper of record fish.

Unfortunately, someone came along and filed an affidavit with the magazine that he had witnessed Hayes stuffing the bass with scrap steel before having it weighed. The record was yanked.

Years later, an investigation found the affidavit was without merit and Hayes was reinstated by the IGFA as the smallmouth world record holder. Luckily, he lived long enough to know he was vindicated.

All that is a long-winded introduction to a big smallie caught June 24 near Stevenson, on the Bonneville pool portion of the lower Columbia River.

State biologist Joe Hymer said a Camas angler, fishing a plastic grub, caught a smallmouth of 8 pounds, 8 ounces. That’s a nice bass — a hair under 22 inches long, with an 181⁄2-inch girth, and

The recreational dungeness crab season opened today, and according to state Fish and Wildlife Department biologist Don Velasquez it should be a good one.

Velasquez said north and central Puget Sound should put out a lot of crab; the south Sound not so much.

He particularly likes Marine Area 8-1, from Deception Pass south to approximately Camano State Park, on the east side of Whidbey Island.

Farther south, Mike Chamberlain at Ted’s Sports Center in Lynnwood suggests the shoreline from south of Mukilteo north to the shipwreck; Hat Island; the Utsalady area, and the inside shoreline of Camano Island. He said most crabbers set their pots at 30 to 75 feet,

not far behind the Washington record smallmouth of 8 pounds, 12 ounces. One of the older records on the state’s books, that one was caught on the Hanford Reach portion of the Columbia in April of 1966.

Experts have been saying for years that the new world record smallmouth would eventually come out of either the Snake or Columbia Rivers, but it hasn’t happened yet.

The first “official” plant of smallmouth, according to data provided by Hymer, was in 1925, when state game protector N.E. Palmer put 5,000 fish in the Yakima River. Just four years later, in 1929, a 6-pound smallmouth caught in the Yakima by E.J. Farley of Prosser placed second in a Field & Stream national contest.

Hymer says the Bonneville, John Day and Dalles pools all offer good bass fishing for a mix of small and largemouth, and the Stevenson area is one of the most popular and productive.

A good example, he said, was June 26-28, when WDFW creel samplers tallied 24 anglers in that area with 146 bass released.

The John Day pool around Crow Butte and the islands and shoals upriver in the Umatilla National Wildlife Refuge also put out good fishing.

Baker sockeye State biologist Brett Barkdull said that, as of Tuesday afternoon, a

but that more and more are going much deeper than that each year.

A crucial factor, Chamberlain said, is to check your sets often.

This accomplishes two things: If you have not caught crab, then move. Don’t waste your time where the crab ain’t. Also, if you are around your pots often, it tends to discourage trap theft, which is becoming quite a problem.

For bait, Chamberlain likes a salmon carcass, hands down.

Chicken and turkey legs are also good. Chamberlain said he personally does not fish commercial bait pellets, but that a lot of crabbers do, usually in conjunction with one of the above baits.

cumulative 3,000 sockeye had been transferred from the lower Baker Dam trap to Baker Lake. Barkdull’s rule of thumb for the number of fish available in the lake to make decent fishing on the July 10 opener is about 2,500, so the count is over that already with a week still to go.

“It should be good on the opener,” he said.

The Skagit River has also been good, but there will be no season extension on the river and the fishery will expire as scheduled on July 15. Kevin John at Holiday Sports in Burlington says the standard sockeye river plunking setup is a 4or 5-ounce pyramid sinker about a foot off a spreader bar, with a 3-foot single-hook leader strung with a number 6 Spin ‘N Glo and a sandshrimp tail. John likes red, orange or pink for the wing bobber, but said enough fishermen have reported success with greens or purples that they may be worth a shot.

Eastside anglers are drooling over the number of sockeye coming up the Columbia and headed for the Wenatchee and Okanogan, among other tribs. Joe Hymer said that through June 29, 339,849 sockeye had been counted over Bonneville Dam and that the run, which is currently the second-largest total count to date, could very easily pass the record of 364,800 fish set in 2012. The preseason forecast this year was recently upgraded to 450,000 adult sockeye.

Summer kings The preseason forecast of 73,000 summer chinook returning to the Columbia was also upgraded to 85,000 fish and, if that plays out, it would beat the current record return of 70,900 fish in 1957.

Hymer also said the June 29 water temperature at Bonneville

was nearly 71 degrees, the hottest temperature at that date since at least 1950. The most recent 10-year average on June 28 is 63 degrees.

Big cutthroat Anton Jones, owner of Darrell & Dad’s Family Guide Service on Lake Chelan, recently caught his personal record cutthroat on Omak Lake, at 10.1 pounds. He reports fewer strikes this year since the June 1 opener, but that the fish, averaging probably 20 inches, are larger than usual.

He launches at Mission Bay, which lets him bypass “Beer Can Beach,” and fishes the south end of the lake. Downriggers and snap weights work about equally well, he said, using 2- to 6-ounce weights.

A favorite trolling setup, he said, is a smiley blade ahead of a red bead, then a stack bead, two floating beads and another stack bead, and a pair of 2/0 hooks. Three-inch spoons in cookies ‘n cream patterns, and Squid rigs will also catch fish, Jones said. No bait is allowed in Omak Lake.

A tribal permit is required, and Jones said the WalMart in Omak is one permit source.

Real trophy cutthroat are always a possibility in Omak, Jones said, and except for Pyramid Lake in Nevada, this could well be the best Lahontan cutthroat lake in the world. The state record of 18.04 pounds was caught there in July of 1993, by Dan Beardsley.

The IGFA-listed world record Lahontan cutthroat comes from way back — a 41-pound fish from Pyramid Lake in December of 1925

by John Skimmerhorn.

World Cup

Sounders

It was a torturous finish for the sixth-ranked Lionesses, who have made their deepest run in four World Cup appearances. England had never won an elimination game until this year.

“Of course, when there’s a huge disappointment there’s going to be an outcry,” Sampson added. “But it’ll sink in soon what they’ve achieved and how proud everyone is of their teammate ... and what we’ve done to put football in our country to a place it’s never been before.”

England will remain in Edmonton to play top-ranked Germany in the third-place match Saturday. Germany lost 2-0 to the United States on Tuesday.

England lost despite controlling much of the second half against the fourth-ranked Japanese. And that was despite what Sasaki had said a day earlier, when he suggested his players were “superior.”

The teams traded penalty kick goals seven minutes apart in the first half.

Aya Miyama opened the scoring in the 33rd minute by driving the ball into the open left corner while Bardsley guessed the wrong way.

The penalty was set up when Mizuho Sakaguchi’s long kick from Japan’s side of the field found Saori Ariyoshi free up the right side. As Ariyoshi got control of the ball, she was pushed from behind by Claire Rafferty.

The Lionesses responded on Fara Williams’ penalty kick in the 40th minute. She threaded a shot just inside the left post, barely out of the reach of diving keeper Ayumi Kaihori.

That penalty came off corner kick to the right of the Japan net. Williams’ kick into the area bounced between four players before Steph Houghton

Adrian Hanauer addressed the media, saying the game “was not the proudest moment for the Sounders.” He added that internal discipline, perhaps including suspensions, was being considered.

Major League Soccer suspended Dempsey for three games, and the U.S. Open Cup banned him for two tournaments or six games, whichever is greater. Dempsey later tweeted an apology.

Schmid said Wednesday that he hasn’t been contacted by the league, but that discipline remains possible.

Forward Obafemi Martins also was injured in the game, and with him and Dempsey both out, the Sounders have lost all three MLS games since.

Martins began running this week, but Schmid had no timetable Wednesday for his return to games. Meanwhile, Dempsey served the last of his MLS suspension Sunday, when the Sounders lost 4-1 at Portland. But he and Evans have since left to join the United States team that will compete in CONCACAF Gold Cup, and therefore they will be missing again Friday when the Sounders return to MLS play against DC United at CenturyLink Field.

Schmid said he hopes that referees don’t see — or treat — his team differently because of the Open Cup match.

“My father was a referee in southern California for years and years,” he said. “They came over and played chess with him, and I’ve known referees since I was a teenager because of his refereeing and all that. There’s never been any animosity or anything like that. I just want to make sure that young coaches who hear that statement understand that that’s the wrong thing to say. I feel bad about having said that. It doesn’t change necessarily how I feel about the refereeing performance, but that is never an appropriate wording or reaction.”

got control, took a step toward the net and went down when Ogimi appeared to catch the back of Houghton’s foot.

England had the Japanese on their heels during a four-minute span of the second half.

Toni Duggan, from just inside the penalty area, had her linedrive kick go off the crossbar in the 62nd minute. A minute later, Ellen White was set up in the middle, and got a shot off that Kaihori punched away.

And in the 66th minute, Jill Scott headed Williams’ corner kick just wide of the left post.

The game was played on Canada Day — the nation’s 148th birthday — in front of a slow-arriving crowd. The attendance was announced at 31,467 in a stadium that holds more than 53,000. The crowd would’ve been would have

been much larger had England not eliminated the host country in the quarterfinals last weekend.

The Lionesses have already created a buzz back home as just the third English team — including the men — to reach a World Cup semifinal, joining the 1966 champion and 1990 men’s squads.

England began the day by receiving a royal pep talk from Prince William, who spoke to the players and staff by phone.

Manchester United and English national team captain Wayne Rooney has become a fan. Rooney posted a note of support on his Twitter account Wednesday, writing in part: “We’re all behind you, let’s go one step closer an get to the final.”

MARINERS | Update

Rainier duo to start Triple-A All-Star Game SAN DIEGO — The Triple-A All-Star Game later this month will have a definite Tacoma flavor after two Rainiers were elected as starters for the Pacific Coast League team.

First baseman Jesus Montero and shortstop Ketel Marte drew starting assignments in balloting announced Wednesday for the July 15 game against the International League at Werner Park in Omaha, Neb. Right-handed pitcher Forrest Snow was also picked to the 30-player squad.

It will make for a busy week for Marte, who will play for the World team on July 12 in the All-Star Futures Game at Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati.

Marte, 21, is still on a rehab assignment at Peoria in the Arizona Rookie League for a broken thumb. He batted .343 with a .394 on-base percentage and a .434 slugging percentage in 51 games prior to the injury.

Montero, 25, is batting .314 in 76 games for the Rainiers with 13 homers and 60 RBIs. Snow, 26, is 6-4 with a 2.34 ERA in 17 games, including 10 starts.

Rotation on hold Rehabbing right-hander Hisashi Iwakuma, barring a setback, appears increasingly likely to rejoin the Mariners’ rotation for Sunday’s road-trip finale at Oakland.

Club officials still want to gauge Iwakuma’s readiness after he encountered a finger blister — a common occurrence for him — while pitching 52⁄3 innings Tuesday for Tacoma in an 8-4 victory over Las Vegas (Mets).

Iwakuma allowed one run and five hits while striking out six and walking one in his third rehab start. He encountered no problem with the strained back muscle that forced him to the disabled list in late April.

“Overall, I think I did pretty good,” he said. “I threw a lot better today. I was able to get strike ones and get ahead of the count early.”

Mike Montgomery is currently listed as Sunday’s starter but is likely to be pushed back one day to start Monday against Detroit at Safeco Field.

The Mariners are still discussing alternatives in how to clear roster space for Iwakuma.

Deal near with Kratz The Mariners are close to a deal with free-agent catcher Erik Kratz, who declined a June 28 outright assignment

by Boston to Triple-A Pawtucket after clearing waivers.

Kratz, 35, is a six-year veteran who spent time earlier this year with Kansas City before going to Boston in a June 21 waiver claim. He has a .217 average in 180 games as a backup with four organizations.

The Mariners would likely assign Kratz initially to Tacoma because he hasn’t played since June 9.

Rollins’ return Suspended left-handed reliever David Rollins appears in line for a recall to the big-league club Saturday when he completes his 16-day rehab assignment at Tacoma.

Rollins, 25, is a Rule 5 pick from Houston who received an 80-game suspension on March 27 after testing positive for Stanozolol, an anabolic steroid that is often used by bodybuilders to build muscle mass.

Rule 5 picks must remain on a major-league roster or the major-league disabled list for the entire next season.

They must be offered back to their former club for $25,000 before they can be sent to the minors.

The Mariners appear interested in retaining Rollins, who has not allowed a run in 71⁄3 innings over six appearances for the Rainiers.

Returning Rollins to active duty would require a corresponding space-clearing move on the 25-man roster. Long reliever Vidal Nuno, who has options remains, appears most at risk.

Balloting deadline With online balloting concluding at 8:59 p.m. Thursday, Nelson Cruz holds a lead of 204,905 votes over Kansas City’s Kendrys Morales to be the starting designated hitter in the July 14 All-Star Game. The starters for both leagues will be announced at 4:30 p.m. Sunday on ESPN. The pitchers and reserves for the two leagues will be announced at 4 p.m.

Monday on ESPN. The five Final Vote candidates in each league for the last spot on the 34-player rosters will also be announced.

Noah Wilson holds onto his father, Scott Wilson, before Game 2 of the 2014 World Series in Kansas City, Mo. Noah, whose fight against cancer and love of the Kansas City Royals received national attention during during the World Series, died Tuesday night. He was 7.

Young Kansas City fan dies of cancer at age 7 Noah Wilson’s battle gained national media attention during Royals’ 2014 World Series run Associated Press OLATHE, Kan. — A Kansas boy whose fight against cancer and love of the Kansas City Royals received national attention during last year’s World Series has died. He was 7.

Noah Wilson of Olathe died Tuesday night at a hospital, his family announced. Noah had his last radiation treatment in mid-June and had been considered free of Ewing’s sarcoma, a bone cancer. But his family said they learned in recent days that he had leukemia. He began chemotherapy Monday.

“He is forever wrapped in the

loving arms of his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. No more pain.

No more cancer. Just peace,” the family’s statement said.

Noah watched the Royals’ run through the 2014 playoffs mostly from his hospital bed.

A family friend started a campaign to get Noah to a World Series game and the effort quickly blossomed, with ticket broker StubHub offering tickets, more than $100,000 raised through crowdsourcing and Major League Baseball sending a box full of memorabilia to his home.

Former New York Yankees manager Joe Torre also invited Noah and his family to be his guests at a World Series game, and they attended the World Series Gala, meeting several

players. They also met Torre before Game 2 of the World Series at Kauffman Stadium.

Noah made a special connection with his favorite player, Kansas City first baseman Eric Hosmer. After word of Noah’s death, a tweet posted to Hosmer’s Twitter account said, “Wow. It absolutely kills me to say this, but RIP to my hero, Noah Wilson.”

The Royals tweeted, “Our hearts are broken. Thoughts and prayers to the family of our bravest little Royals fan.”

While hospitalized last year, Noah started a campaign to make colorful Band-Aids available to children at Children’s Mercy Hospital. It collected more than $7,000 and thousands of boxes of bandages.

“There were a number of factors that went into pulling him,” McClendon said. “No. 1, this is a young pitcher who has gone deep into a lot of ballgames. At some point, we have to protect his innings.

“We have to protect him.

He may not like it but, 12 years from now when he’s still pitching in this league and flourishing, he’ll thank me.

He’ll say, ‘The old man knew what he was doing.’ That’s the No. 1 factor.

“No. 2, our bullpen is rested and ready to go. We just felt if we had a chance to pick up another run, it would be big for us in this game.”

Say this: It worked.

Brad Miller was at second base after a walk and a steal when McClendon opted for Dustin Ackley to bat for Walker.

“I was ready,” Ackley said.

“But with the way Walker was throwing, you really don’t know what’s going to happen. We don’t play (under) National League (rules) enough to know how it all works.”

Walker admitted he was initially miffed.

“Of course, I wanted to stay in there,” he said. “And I felt I had just gotten into a groove the last couple of innings. It’s baseball. We had an opportunity to score, and we took full advantage of it.”

Ackley drew a four-pitch walk from a Shields, who then issued another four-pitch walk to Logan Morrison that loaded the bases. That got the game to Cano, whose leadoff homer in the sixth had opened the scoring.

The Padres called on Garcas,

Seattle starting pitcher Taijuan Walker works against San Diego in the Mariners’ 7-0 victory over the Padres on Wednesday.

and Cano drove an RBI single up the middle. Even though Ackley was thrown out at the plate, the Mariners had a 2-0 lead for their bullpen.

Vidal Nuno got the first out in the seventh before McClendon called on Mark Lowe, who worked around Yangervis Solarte’s two-out double.

Fernando Rodney and Tom Wilhelmsen closed out the victory.

The Mariners blew the game open in the closing innings.

They made it 3-0 on Austin Jackson’s sacrifice fly in the eighth before scoring four runs in the ninth inning.

Cano capped his 4-for-5 day with an RBI double before Cruz, on his 35th birthday, collected his 20th homer on a two-run shot that barely cleared the left-field wall.

“I was surprised when it went out,” he said. “I thought it was a pop-up. It had a lot of backspin, I guess.”

Cano’s performance was particularly encouraging for what it might — just might — mean.

He finished with his first four-hit game in nearly a year: July 18, 2014; the first game

last season after the All-Star break.

“It’s never too late,” he said.

“Hopefully, it can continue from now on. Keep swinging the same way. It’s not about me getting hot or swinging the bat well. It’s about winning.

We’ve got to get going.”

This was a start, anyway, and it helped the Mariners halt two torturous trends: They had lost nine straight series finales, and they had won only one of their last 11 day games.

“Taijuan pitched a great game,” Cano said. “It’s too bad that it’s the National League, and you have to pinch-hit. But the bullpen did a great job.”

It was all part of the plan, McClendon insisted. Walker, still just 22, had averaged 98 pitches and nearly seven innings over his seven previous starts.

“Listen, he probably didn’t deserve to come out of the game,” McClendon admitted. “You have to think about his last couple of outings. You have to be conscious of that.

This is something I thought of before the game started.

“It wasn’t a knee-jerk reaction.”

Dipoto resigns as Angels’ GM

By Greg Beacham Associated Press

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Los Angeles Angels general manager Jerry Dipoto resigned Wednesday, abruptly ending his 31⁄2-year tenure with the club amid apparent tensions with manager Mike Scioscia.

Former general manager Bill Stoneman will take over as the interim GM for the rest of the season, the Angels announced.

The 71-year-old Stoneman was the Angels’ GM from 2000-07, hiring Scioscia and presiding over their only World Series championship team in 2002. He has remained a consultant and adviser for the Angels since stepping down.

The Angels have been vague about the reasons for Dipoto’s departure, but his moderately successful tenure apparently destructed shortly after a contentious team meeting last weekend.

Scioscia and Dipoto previously have clashed over philosophical differences during the GM’s tenure, and the latest dispute reportedly concerned Dipoto’s desire for the Angels to play with more attention to statistical analysis and scouting reports.

Scioscia still claims he is working well as a team with Dipoto, and he insists they have no philosophical differences.

But Dipoto is still leaving the big-budget Angels (41-37), who have won four straight to move a season-high four games over .500 heading into their game against the New York Yankees on Wednesday night.

Scioscia repeatedly claimed he didn’t know what was going on with Dipoto during his pregame availability, saying he hadn’t spoken to Dipoto in the past 24 hours.

“I think our team is pretty focused,” Scioscia said before Wednesday’s game. “I think you can see that, so I don’t know if there is anything along those lines, as far as a distraction. I think we’ve been playing well on the field, and hopefully that’s our focus.”

Scioscia is the longest-tenured manager in baseball, running the Angels’ dugout since 2000. He is signed through 2018, but can opt out of the deal this winter.

Love stays, Chandler moves, dollars fly in NBA free agency

By Brian Mahoney Associated Press

Kevin Love has unfinished business in Cleveland and Tyson Chandler will be conducting his in Phoenix.

The first full day of NBA free agency featured skyrocketing salaries and a flurry of moves, though no decision yet from LaMarcus Aldridge. Players and teams agreed to more than $1 billion worth of deals.

Love made his quickly, opting to stay with the Cavaliers on a five-year deal that could be worth more than $110 million. He revealed his decision in a piece in The Players’ Tribune.

“We have unfinished business and now it’s time to get back to work,” Love wrote.

recently with management and his teammates, alluding to spending time poolside with LeBron James.

“Yeah, of course I’ve heard the free agency rumors,” Love wrote.

“But at the end of the day, and after meeting with my teammates (it turns out pools are great meeting places) and with the front office, it was clear Cleveland was the place for me. We’re all on the same page and we’re all in.”

In a market filled with big men, the little guys were also getting theirs. That includes around $90 million for Dragic in Miami and $70 million for Brandon Knight in Phoenix — where he took over the ballhandling duties that Dragic handled before he was dealt to the Heat.

Khris Middleton also received $70 million to remain in Milwaukee following his strong season.

Sox offense struggles in loss to Dust Devils Frogs tally five hits, 11 strikeouts in 8-1 series-opening loss to Tri-City.

Herald Staff PASCO – The potent Everett AquaSox offense had an off night Wednesday as the Frogs fell to the Tri-City Dust Devils 8-1 at Gesa Stadium in Pasco.

Everett leads the Northwest League with 89 runs scored but couldn’t get much going on offense against the Dust Devils.

The Frogs’ lone run came on a sacrifice fly by Luis Liberato that scored Drew Jackson in the top of the fifth inning.

The one run tied a season-low for the Frogs, who also scored just once in a 6-1 loss to Boise last Sunday. Through their first 14 games of the season the Sox have outscored opponents 89-67.

Four Tri-City pitchers combined to tally 11 strikeouts against Everett. Jackson and first baseman Ryan Uhl each went 2-for-4 to lead the AquaSox in the loss. Both players are batting

.325 or higher this season for Everett.

The Dust Devils scored eight runs on just four hits in the game. A pair of home runs by Peter Van Gansen and Henry Charles got the scoring started for Tri-City in the bottom of the fourth inning with the Dust Devils’ first two hits of the game.

Van Gansen led off the inning with a homer to right center field and, after a groudout and a walk

by Carlos Belen, Charles followed with another blast to right center.

Everett’s troubles continued in the fifth with a hit batter and walk to start the inning. With two outs, Jose Carlos Urena hit a two-run single to left field to score Justin Pacchioli and Rod Boykin.

Tri-City (7-7) added three more runs on an error in the eighth to help put the game away.

Everett remains atop the NWL North Division standings at 10-4.

The AquaSox, who continue the three-game series with Tri-City on Thursday, currently boast the best record in the eight-team league.

PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers are hoping to turn the 2023 Super Bowl into a home game.

The franchise submitted an application at the owner’s meetings in May for the right to bid on the 2023 Super Bowl. It’s the first time the Steelers — whose six Super Bowl victories are the most in the NFL — and city have sent in an application to host the title game. The NFL will not open up the actual bidding for the game until 2018. The vote on who will host the 2023 Super Bowl won’t come until 2019.

Team president Art Rooney II met with Pittsburgh leaders on Wednesday to provide an update and also caution that things remain in the exploratory stage.

“The application is an early step in the bidding process, and we will continue to meet with representatives of the Mayor’s Office,

County Executive’s Office, VisitPittsburgh, Allegheny Conference as well as other community leaders to review the requirements with the hopes of submitting our bid to host Super Bowl LVII in 2023,” Rooney said in a statement.

City and team officials will visit previous Super Bowl host cities as part of their due diligence, including cold weather hosts like New Jersey.

Rooney told The Associated Press in January 2014 that he was open to approaching the city about hosting one of the world’s biggest annual sporting events at some point.

“It takes a lot to host the Super Bowl. We would have to put together the support from private and public sector,” he said.

Heinz Field is nearing the end of an offseason expansion that will bring capacity over 67,000. It opened in 2001.

Djokovic, Serena win on Wimbledon’s hottest day Associated Press LONDON — Down 3-1 in the first set, defending champion Novak Djokovic kept his cool on the hottest day in Wimbledon history.

Running off 13 points in a row, Djokovic seized command and stayed in front the rest of the way on Centre Court as he beat Finland’s Jarkko Nieminen 6-4, 6-2, 6-3 Wednesday to reach the third round of Wimbledon on a sweltering day at the All England Club.

With temperatures soaring into the mid-90s, former champions Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova and French Open winner Stan Wawrinka also won in straights sets.

Exiting the tournament were fifth-seeded Kei Nishikori, who pulled out with a calf injury before his second-round match, and No. 7 Ana Ivanovic, who fell in straight sets to American qualifier Bethanie Mattek-Sands.

Nieminen started fast, breaking serve in the opening game and going up 3-1. But the topranked Djokovic won the next three games, including two at love, and never let Nieminen — playing in his final Wimbledon before retirement — back into the match.

“He came out firing some incredible shots,” said Djokovic, who won the title in 2011 and is going for a ninth Grand Slam title. “He made, I think, four winners in the first game, four or five in the second game. He was a break up but I managed to regroup, play some good tennis and get the control on my side.”

Players wrapped ice towels around their necks during changeovers and spectators used umbrellas to block out the sun as temperatures soared to record levels at a tournament known more for its rain delays than summer conditions. The Met Office, Britain’s official weather service, said temperatures reached 96.26 degrees at Kew Gardens, the closest observation site to the All England Club.

At a Glance

ALASTAIR GRANT / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Novak Djokovic plays a return to Jarkko Nieminen during their singles match on the third day of Wimbledon on Wednesday. Djokovic, the defending tournament champion, won in straight sets on the hottest day in tournament history.

The previous record was 94.3 in the summer of 1976. The Met Office also said it was “the hottest July day on record” in London, with 98.1 recorded at Heathrow Airport.

Organizers kept the retractable roof over Centre Court closed in the morning to keep out the heat, then had it partially covering the spectators behind the baselines to give them shade.

Medical officials treated nearly 100 people by mid-afternoon for heat-related issues but no major incidents were reported. A ball boy collapsed during a match on Court 17 and was taken off on a stretcher but was reportedly recovering well after treatment.

Despite the unusual heat, most players said they weren’t particularly bothered.

“It wasn’t as bad as I thought,” Djokovic said. “People were talking about it and predicting really

difficult conditions. But I didn’t find it as difficult as I thought it might be.”

Djokovic gave the 33-yearold Nieminen a warm embrace at the net and joined the Centre Crowd in applauding for the Finn after his last match at Wimbledon. Nieminen waved to the crowd and kissed his fingers and patted the grass before leaving the court.

“It’s his last Wimbledon, so I was just congratulating him on a terrific career,” Djokovic said.

“He’s been around for so many years. A very, very nice guy, one of the nicest guys off the court.”

Williams, the top-ranked fivetime champion, won her 23rd consecutive Grand Slam match, serving 12 aces in a 6-4, 6-1 win over Timea Babos of Hungary in a late Centre Court match.

“I hope I’m not playing my best. I have a lot of room to improve,” said Williams, who

next faces Britain’s Heather Watson as the American bids for a fourth straight Grand Slam title and 21st overall.

Wawrinka, seeded No. 4, held serve throughout and beat Victor Estrella Burgos of the Dominican Republic 6-3, 6-4, 7-5.

“Not my best tennis, but typical second round of a Grand Slam,” said Wawrinka, who reached the quarterfinals last year.

In one of the day’s biggest surprises, 158th-ranked MattekSands upset Ivanovic 6-3, 6-4.

Mattek-Sands, who was out for six months last year with a left hip injury, had 32 winners, more than twice the number for Ivanovic, a former No. 1 player who reached the semifinals in 2007.

Fourth-seeded Sharapova, the 2004 champion, beat Dutch qualifier Richel Hogenkamp 6-3, 6-1.

STEVE RUARK FOR THE THOMAS JEFFERSON FOUNDATION AT MONTICELLO

Karen Baber, of Scottsville, Virginia, helps her granddaughter Aaralynn Malikian, 7, of Charlottesville, Virginia, take photographs at Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello during a commemoration of the completion of the first phase of its Mountaintop Project May 2 in Charlottesville. The Mountaintop Project is a multi-year effort to restore Monticello as Jefferson knew it.

The founding farmers Nation’s first leaders abandoned European traditions and revolutionized garden styles

By Sandra Schumacher Special to The Herald

They were known for their revolutionary political achievements, but each man described himself first as a farmer, not as a politician or military leader. They revolutionized both our garden style and its purpose by abandoning the European traditions of aristocratic formal gardens, creating America’s first gardens of edible and ornamental plants.

George Washington was known to have scoured the wilderness during military stays. He would ride horseback through the woods,

admiring trees that he believed useful in his garden and those of others. He also investigated soil properties, examined tree species and studied various agricultural practices.

Many of his plant finds were shipped to England by nurserymen and were used in English garden designs. In fact, when Thomas Jefferson and John Adams were in England after the Revolution, it was not uncommon for them to go on garden tours in order to see first-hand how American native plants fared in British ornamental gardens.

Washington was the first person

to bring in trees and shrubs from the original 13 colonies. At one time, Washington’s home, Mount Vernon, Virginia, was the most visited home and garden in the nation as it was where one could see magnolias, sassafras, mountain laurel, tulip trees, lilacs and mock orange in this new all-American garden.

Thomas Jefferson on the other hand was the nation’s “Seed Collector-in-Chief” during Lewis and Clark’s Age of Discovery. The expedition was approved by Congress as a way to study the lands of the Louisiana Purchase as well as to

‘Clobbered’ porcelains still have plenty of value I

s an antique “clobbered” Chinese vase a valuable Asian ceramic? Fifty years ago, if you were clobbered it meant someone beat you up. Recent auction catalogs have been describing porcelains using this word, and at an April 2015 Neal auction, a pair of very large “clobbered” famille rose porcelain vases sold for $4,780.

The term clobbered has been used since the end of the 19th century. It meant patched or worn. Porcelains that were too plain or slightly damaged were given added color by filling in the blue and white lines of a flower or adding a new border, flowers, animals, birds or even landscapes. Yellow, red and green

This 60-inch-high pair of Chinese clobbered famille rose porcelain vases from the 19th or 20th century sold for $4,780 at a Neal auction in New Orleans recently. They have multicolored decorations and a yellow ground.

enamel was added and “burned in” so it was permanent. Today, that clobbered piece would be bought for its decorative value and sell for far less than an original multicolored plate but more than a similar modern plate.

Q: I have a champer chest that was brought from China right after World War II. It is heavily carved on all sides with figures, some on horses, and trees. All around the border are carved flower heads and overlapping leaves. It also has a shaped brass clasp. It’s 23 inches high, 41 inches wide and 20 inches deep. Can you tell me what it might be worth?

wood. In the 18th and 19th centuries, camphor chests were used to carry tea, silks and porcelain from China to Europe and America. Camphor wood has a fresh scent that is like eucalyptus, and is a natural repellent against moths. Camphor chests were popular in American homes in the 1930s and ’40s, brought home

by Americans who lived in China or sailors who were stationed in Asia. Camphor chests made in the 20th century sell for $50 to $400, depending on size, carving and condition. Chests from the 19th century sell for lots more.

Yours probably is worth about $200 to $300.

ust like a security light attached to a motion sensor, a driveway alarm uses a wired or wireless sensor to inform you when someone’s walked or driven onto your driveway.

What is a driveway alarm system?

“They’re mounted on a post in your driveway, and it sets off a chime inside your house whenever something moves in front of the sensor,” says Randy Reed, owner of Reed Brothers Security in Oakland, California. “You’ll know if someone is walking or driving down your driveway. It comes in handy if you’re waiting on a package delivery or the postman.”

Pennsylvania, says driveway alerts come in two basic types: easily installed wireless sensors and more complex wired systems with lines buried in the yard.

How much do they cost?

For a good wireless alert system from a trusted manufacturer such as Optex, Reed says to be prepared to pay a few hundred dollars.

A wired system from a manufacturer such as Cartell can cost up to a few thousand dollars, according to Fabrizio, because it involves more parts, professional expertise and running one or more lines across your yard.

Should you do it yourself?

Reed says homeowners can install a wireless alarm system

Enjoy your yard in privacy A bit of privacy is essential to enjoying the pleasures of summer in your backyard. Even when you’re only a few feet from your neighbors, it’s still possible to tan, share a meal with friends, relax in the spa or stay out on the deck all evening without being subjected to prying eyes.

JULY

BACKYARD PRIVACY 1346636

A bit of privacy is important for enjoying the pleasures of summer in your backyard.

Hardware

Coniferous trees and shrubs are simple solutions to the privacy question, but you have to have enough space to plant them. If your yard is small or your outdoor seating area is limited to a balcony, you can design an oasis of peace just by installing a trellis. Practical and stylish, trellises provide privacy without looking like a barricade. Hang planters on them, add some fairy lights and decorate them by setting a few colorful pots filled with herbs along the base. You’ll be able to enjoy Landscaping

Flooring

your outdoor space without feeling that everyone is watching you.

Do you feel as though a high fence would tower over you and darken the backyard? You’re afraid of offending the neighbors if you build a structure to demarcate your property line?

Instead of completely surrounding your yard with a fence or hedge, you could just position some wood screens or trellises in strategic places for a lighter touch. You can also play around with the height and spacing of these screens for a more aesthetic look. This trompe-l’oeil effect is perfect for creating a stylish landscape.

Go ahead and talk to landscaping specialists to get more ideas. They’re sure to give you some great advice about how to set up your private little summer haven.

Here’s what to check off your July to-do list B

y July most of us have finished our annual plantings and it is time to maintain what we have and do a little editing and tweaking. It is perfectly fine to continue to plant and I highly recommend doing just that for extending color into the fall season and for establishing new shrubs and trees.

Here’s a list of chores for this month: Feeding. Plants need food to grow and organics are always the best for lawns, shrubs, trees and perennials because they not only feed the plants but also the soil. They are full of soil microorganisms and humic acids,

Farmers From Page D1

expand the size and scope of the new country. Thomas Jefferson however, was motivated by the potential for horticultural studies of edible and ornamental plants, the American Indian diet, soil science and seed and plant collection.

Those seeds and plants were sent to Jefferson and stored in the White House then shared with farmers until the process became too unruly. Jefferson continued to inspect the plant material, but quickly turned it over to nurserymen to test for potential foods for the American public.

Kovel From Page D1

Q: I have an old tin photograph of Jessie James, his brother, Frank, and an unidentified man. It’s been passed down in my family from my great-great-grandfather. The story goes that he was given the picture by Jessie James. It’s in excellent shape. Is it valuable?

A: Collectors are interested in pictures of the Old West and of outlaws, but the value depends on rarity and authenticity. The only known picture of Billy the Kid sold for more than $2 million in 2011. Pictures of Jessie James (1847-1882) and his brother, Frank

both of which improve our soils. But when it comes to annuals, especially if they are in containers, it is hard to beat the synthetics such as Osmocote or a soluble fertilizer like Sea Grow.

For over the top results use them both simultaneously.

Weeding. My system never changes. Hula Hoe the annual ones, nuke the perennial ones. When everything is clean cover the soil with an inch of compost and you’re done.

Don’t make it more complicated than it needs to be.

Pruning. I do a lot of pruning in July on hedges and thinning on trees and shrubs and pinching back on fall blooming perennials

But a war between France and Britain created the Embargo Act and affected the amount of seeds and plants coming to America and being exported to Europe. Jefferson knew that a reliable food supply required the cultivation of increased native varieties that could not be affected by warring foreign governments.

John Adams was very concerned that the sale of American grains was blockaded by the British.

He asked Jefferson to join him in London in 1786 to try to resolve some of America’s economic issues.

On a day that the two men had to themselves, they toured a few local gardens.

Although Jefferson had studied British landscaping

and of course deadheading (that’s garden-speak for removing old blossoms).

You can remove water sprouts (suckers) on fruit and flowering trees in the summer and they won’t grow back nearly as fast as when you do it in the winter. Apply Sucker Punch and they might not come

back for a year.

Staking. Summer blooming perennials are in full stride now and all it takes is one windy and wet day to knock them flat on the ground. Grow-thru rings, Link-Stakes, bamboo poles and twine and hoop stakes are just a few of the variations on the staking theme. Whatever you like is what you need to use but don’t wait until the horse is out of the barn. Also, if you have fruit trees with lots of fruit then be sure and stake up the heavy limbs before they break. You should probably thin them as well.

Pest control. Aphids continue to be a challenge this year and I suspect there

will be other insects as the season goes on. Treat insect problems on an as-need basis. Diseases like mildew are a different story. For mildew on shrubs and trees the best strategy is to prune out diseased branches and fertilize. For roses, perennials, annuals and veggies it is best to be proactive and apply a fungicide as a preventative.

Watering. I covered this topic in my column in the June 11 edition of The Herald. I will say this however: Investing in mulch will more than offset what you save on your water bill and the soil will be a lot healthier.

Tweaking and editing.

Take a hard look at your garden. Fill in bare spots and remove overgrown plants. Continue to make changes that will turn your yard into a garden.

Remember that a garden is a creation that continues to evolve and change, sometimes for the better and other times for the worse.

Don’t be afraid to rip stuff out and change things around. It’s no different than moving the furniture around in the living room.

Nothing beats a fresh new look.

books for years, he sought new ways to blend the beautiful with the necessary. He believed that farming could not only sustain our new nation, but in fact bring it wealth. Adams shared this insatiable curiosity about ornamental and edible garden design, and stressed the need for Americans to grow food for their families, and to share seeds with their countrymen and later, the world at large.

James Madison was the most removed from the trade embargo and was not keen on the “kitchen garden” idea, but did become one of the most respected farmers in America. He seemed more secure in the fact that the Embargo Act had ended, and thus a garden could again be

elegant and serene. He did, however, combine plants from the American wilderness into his overall garden design, mixing them with the English-style landscape and continuing the American Garden philosophy.

His conservation ideas of safeguarding the environment were considered radical, and his thoughts on the “balance of nature,” where plants and animals rely on each other, were unfortunately marginalized. During this time, settlers viewed the wilderness as something to be conquered, not preserved.

Madison knew that nature as they knew it could be destroyed and is viewed as the father of conservation by many.

The James Madison

Landmark Forest can still be visited today, and is a 200-acre deciduous forest consisting of redbud, dogwood, hickory, oak, tulip trees and more. Madison truly believed that “forests, soil and plants made the nation.”

The horticultural accomplishments of their later years can be seen in the estates of these men, where one can embrace their visions first-hand. Gardens of revolutionary men who broke with tradition to establish the first American gardens that doubled as seed and plant laboratories, and whose efforts not only helped expand the edible plants available to Americans, but initiated seed exchanges and sales to other countries. They

encouraged local nurserymen to think regionally and globally as they meticulously tested plants and seeds for the best nutritional outcome.

Founding fathers and founding farmers. Each man could have easily left his presidential term and retired to the life of an aristocratic planter. Instead, each worked to ensure that our infant nation had both the plants and the knowledge to feed itself and others, and taught us improved cultural farming practices along the way.

An expert with knowledge of historical photographs would have to authenticate your picture in order to determine the value.

Q: My set of three porcelain bottles shaped like golfers is inherited from my father. I assume they are at least 50 years old. They are 13 inches high and have removable heads with cork stoppers. The bottoms are marked “Duffer” — Nos. 1, 2 and 3, and “Genuine Porcelain, Designed by B. Hasenstrab, Made in U.S.A.” Could you tell me

something about them?

A: Your golf figures originally held blended Scotch whiskey made by Whyte and Mackay of Glasgow, Scotland. In the 1950s, many whiskey companies found that putting their liquor in decorative collectible bottles increased sales. Your set of three Duffers was designed and modeled by Bernard Hasenstab in 1969. They were made by California Originals, a ceramics company that operated in Torrance, California, from 1955 to 1982. There is little

interest in figural whiskey decanters from the 1960s and ’70s today. They are offered in online shops for about $20 but rarely sell.

Your bottles might have greater appeal and value as a crossover collectible to a golf enthusiast.

Tip: Textiles need to “breathe.” Don’t put them in high stacks or hang them in tight groups. Leave room for air to circulate.

Digging up the past a sign of insecurity

DAILY CROSSWORD

While I’m away, readers give the advice.

On partners who use your past against you: When I was young and naive I shared some information with the man who became my first husband, and he seldom failed to mention it when we were arguing. I came to realize that people who do this are basically insecure, and have to put the other person down to feel superior. When I told my nowhusband something private that I was not proud of, his reaction was, “That must have been what you needed at the time.” It was never mentioned again. The most important thing to remember is self-confident people do not need to belittle others. Steer clear of the ones who do.

— M. On divorced people as social creatures, too: I’m a divorced mom to an elementary-age kid. I’m a social creature — love dinner parties, open houses, family pizza nights, neighbor barbecues, weekend trips. My life was full of this as part of a married couple. But as a “divorcee” I feel excluded from social plans. I usually only get a call to get together when hubby is working late or away on business or maybe for a moms’/girls’

tantalizing tales of life after divorce, and an odd number at a dinner table is not the end of the world.

— Social Creature

CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT night. I love and need my women friends, but I like having the men around, too.

A few years ago, I threw myself a little birthday party (grown-up wine and tapas) and invited my social circle. Only the women showed up — hubby bowed out to watch the kids or watch the game.

I was crushed; it felt like book club (I’ve got that, thanks). Same thing happened when I hosted a winter chili night — women without their plus-1, even though the invitation was clearly to both.

While I often know the female half of the couple better, I make it a point for some events to invite the couple. My social life has dried up — at least anything that’s not a girls’ night — and I’m sad about it. I’d like to make a public service announcement to include the social singles in group gatherings. I promise not to flirt or infect a marriage with

CLASSIC PEANUTS

On avoiding the mother-in-law pitfalls: Even loving someone does not mean that every plan you have involving them is convenient.

Propose visits with the phrase “If it’s convenient for you” or “If that is OK with you”— and LISTEN to the answer! Or WAIT TO BE ASKED! No gazing disrespectfully at the untidy house that is normal when there are small children present, or commenting on it; or reorganizing the house to “help out,” or cleaning (i.e., digging into areas the mother would rather no guest saw); or making comments about feeding, sleep schedules, discipline, whatever.

Your place as a mother-in-law (or a plain grandmother) is to give help where asked, visit when the baby’s family is up for it, and NOT to assume you have rights to invade their space or dictate how they will raise their children.

Listen to your own reasoning carefully and be sure that you are not projecting onto the new family your own desires. If you don’t, you ARE “that mother-in-law.”

Parents not keen on cohabitation defended

THE NEW YORK TIMES CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Readers: On May 5, I printed a letter from a parent, “Against the Tide in New Jersey.” He said his “independent, intelligent, loving” daughters have dated their boyfriends for five years and had recently moved in with them. The man also said he and his wife approve of the young men. One daughter is planning to have an open house and invited her parents. The writer said his daughter is upset because he and his wife refuse to attend because cohabitation is against their beliefs.

He said he and his wife “understand her decision,” but their daughter doesn’t appear to respect theirs. He asked, “Are we wrong?”

I responded yes, because it’s no longer unusual for couples to cohabit before marriage. I asked how long they plan to continue punishing the daughter and said I don’t think they have anything to gain by doing so. Thousands of angry readers wrote to comment.

Read on: Dear Abby: Cohabitation is NOT a substitute for matrimony. I realize it is “not unusual for couples today to live together.” However, you must certainly be aware that many religious people regard doing so as a sin against God. Should the parents compromise their beliefs to attend, simply because their daughter’s relationship is “progressing nicely”? Why do you feel that standing up for their beliefs is “punishing” their daughter and her live-in?

I wish you would address this again. — Dianne In Lubbock, Texas Dear Dianne: I try to deal with things as they are, and not as some people think they ought to be. Today many couples have chosen to live together before marriage. Some are trying to

DEAR ABBY avoid the unhappiness they saw in their parents’ marriages. Others realize that you don’t really know someone until you have lived with him or her. Divorce is messy, not to mention expensive on many levels, and they want to avoid the pain if possible — although few separations are painless.

I believe that parents should choose their battles carefully after their children become adults. What these parents are doing may eventually isolate them from their daughters.

Acting as they are, there may be other happy occasions they’ll be skipping.

This one is just the first.

Dear Abby: If the letter writer and his wife accept an invitation to someone’s house, do they check first to make sure their hosts share their “values,” that they vote the same way, are against gay marriage, have the same religious beliefs?

If they don’t take that same care with everyone they know, they are being unfair to their daughters.

For five years they were apparently comfortable with the daughters living at home or in their own apartments and having sex with their boyfriends on the sly.

Now that the young women are honestly acknowledging the sexual relationship and formalizing it by living together openly, suddenly there’s a problem. There’s a stench of hypocrisy here. — Online Dear Abby Reader Universal Uclick

TELEVISION

7 reasons Schumer would be the best Bachelorette ever

By Lisa Bonos The Washington Post

Now it’s really clear why Amy Schumer turned down the chance to host “The Daily Show.” Sure, she said it’s because she doesn’t want to play it safe, but I think she’s setting her sights on a show that needs her more: “The Bachelorette.” Schumer is a big fan of the franchise; she had a cameo this season and has said that the current Bachelorette, Kaitlyn Bristowe, is Schumer’s “favorite person that’s ever been on” the show.

And Monday, Schumer said that she’d be the next Bachelorette for “a bunch of money,” a better casting process and the artistic license to be herself.

I’m new to the show (this is the first season I’ve watched), but I’ve seen enough to know that Schumer would be the best Bachelorette ever. Let me count the ways.

1. She’d show up in no makeup.

Imagine this: The limos

Amy Schumer

pull up for the contestants’ first hello with our Bachelorette in a ball gown and bare face.

OK, maybe that’s too radical for reality TV and the boy-band handsome men cast on the show.

Less shocking alternative: Schumer could start out a full face of makeup on Day One and gradually taper down. First drop the fake eyelashes, then lip liner and so on. By the time those final men make it to the Fantasy Suite, they’ll see what the girl of their dreams looks like while she’s actually dreaming.

Can they handle it?

2. She’d sound like a real person.

As Schumer told E! News: “I would be very honest, and I don’t think there’s room for that in that franchise.” Probably not, but it would make for better television.

With Schumer, we’d hear the word “connection” and “listen to my heart” a lot less. She’d regularly cut the guys’ egos down to size, as she did with J.J. during the stand-up comedy group date this season. When he was concerned that he’s too smart for 90 percent of the audience, she soothed him: “I want to make you feel better — you’re not.”

3. Her dates would be more realistic.

Instead of over-the-top romance, Schumer’s dates — group and individual — could aim for simple brilliance. How does he handle a sexist video game? How does he fare in couples counseling or in a training session on the art of female emotional combat?

For some real fun, Schumer could have a oneon-one with a dude’s ex.

Schumer might ask: So tell me what he’s like in bed?

Why did things end?

4. She’d be frank about sex and gendered double standards.

None of this talk about “off-camera time.”

Schumer wouldn’t use euphemisms or be apologetic about “being intimate” with anyone.

Schumer would call out any slut-shaming rather than feel guilty about anything. Exhibit A: Her defense of Kaitlyn’s offcamera time with Nick last week: “Oh no someone slept with a guy they’re dating and considering marrying!

Showing love for kaitlynbristowe pic.twitter.com/ ye15yYqAZq” And as someone who has somehow mastered the art of a feminist rape joke, Schumer could talk about the serious stuff in a way that’s deep enough for the Ians of Bachelor Nation while still palatable for television. (Maybe

not palatable for ABC, but the outtakes could run on Comedy Central.)

5. Her home town dates would be really awkward.

And amazing.

If a Bachelorette wants to see what her suitors’ families are really like, home town dates should be unsupervised; the contestant should not attend when Schumer meets the fam. Let’s see how Schumer talks potential Mom-in-law through her laptop problems. If they can be civil through a techsupport situation, they’re golden for a prospective life together.

For the guys who are fathers, Schumer could be left alone with the child to explain that she might be the kid’s new mom.

“I mean, no promises or anything, but you are in the running to get a new mother. Maybe. I’m still keeping my options open, sweetie. You may or may not see me again. “ Cue the tears. Because we can’t have a Bachelorette without tears.

6. She wouldn’t be all

about finding a husband.

Maybe Schumer’s season would end with love, maybe not. Most of the franchise’s couples don’t end up together anyway.

But at least she’d laugh her way through breaking up with 24 guys along the way.

7. Her rose ceremonies would be roasts.

“This is gonna be an absolute massacre.” That’s what Schumer said while leading the stand-up group date earlier this season.

And that’s what we could expect out of her rose ceremonies, too. Enough with the earnest speeches about what a great group of guys this is or that it’s so hard to say goodbye!

She would no doubt tell these guys why they’re getting the ax, in the nicest way possible. Sample Schumer realtalk: “J.J.’s a sweetheart.

He’s just missing like charisma and humility and sense of humor. ... But other than that, basically you should hire him as the next Bachelor.”

And hire Schumer as the next Bachelorette.

Today is Thursday, July 2, the 183rd day of 2015.

There are 182 days left in the year.

Today’s highlight: On July 2, 1776, the Continental Congress passed a resolution saying that “these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States.”

On this date: In 1881, President James A. Garfield was shot by Charles J. Guiteau at the Washington railroad station; Garfield died the following September. (Guiteau was hanged in June 1882.)

In 1890, President Benjamin Harrison signed into law the Sherman Antitrust Act. In 1915, a time bomb planted in a reception room of the U.S. Senate exploded shortly before midnight, causing considerable damage but hurting no one.
