1 dead, 5 hurt in ice collapse It was the 2nd icefall in 2 days at ‘constantly melting’ Big Four Ice Caves near Verlot

By Rikki King and Eric Stevick Herald Writers

VERLOT — One person was killed and at least five others were injured Monday evening after a collapse at the mouth of the Big Four Ice Caves, about 12 miles east of here.

Authorities believed all of the survivors had been rescued. A recovery effort was expected to resume at daybreak Tuesday for the body of the victim still inside the cave.

Survivors flown by helicopter to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle were a 25-year-old man in critical condition, a 35-year-old man in serious condition and a 35-year-old woman in satisfactory condition.

Their injuries included leg lacerations, pelvis fractures and shoulder pain, the hospital reported.

A fourth patient, a girl, was taken by ambulance to Providence Regional Medical Center Everett.

Her condition was not available.

As of 9:45 p.m. Monday, the hospital was awaiting arrival of another patient.

Teams with snow training were being deployed as of mid-evening to work on recovering the body.

The ice fall, which included rocks, happened just before 5 p.m.

It took roughly 45 minutes for it to be reported due to a lack of cellphone service in the area.

911 dispatch mayhem surges on 4th of July

By Rikki King Herald Writer

the buzz

EVERETT — Fireworks caused plenty of mayhem in Snohomish County over the Fourth of July weekend, including dozens of injuries and multiple brush fires.

At least one house fire, in Monroe, was attributed to fireworks on Saturday, and emergency dispatchers received a record number of 911 calls that evening.

Two people in Marysville lost fingers.

Seventeen people, including adults and children, were treated for fireworks-related injuries at Providence Regional Medical Center Everett. Eleven were transferred from Providence to

Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. The most common injuries seen at Providence were eye problems, burns, and blast wounds to hands.

Altogether, Harborview saw 39 patients with fireworks injuries, spokeswoman Susan GreggHansen said. The youngest was 2 years old with a facial burn.

Many of the injuries were the result of mortars.

In Arlington, Cascade Valley Hospital had four patients with fireworks injuries, the youngest of whom was 10. The hospital also saw an uptick in heat exhaustion cases, in See FOURTH, back page, this section

Polluted waterway gets cleanup

By Chris Winters Herald Writer

EVERETT — The East Waterway is finally getting cleaned up.

Just don’t expect it to happen quickly.

The waterway, an inlet off Possession Sound between the Port of Everett and Naval Station Everett, has long borne the brunt of industrial activity along the city’s waterfront.

On June 30, the state Department of Ecology issued an agreement that begins the first stage of a multi-year cleanup process.

The so-called Agreed Order between the Ecology department, the Port of Everett, Kimberly-Clark Worldwide Inc. and the state Department of Natural Resources lays out the order

Chancellor Angela Merkel by phone and appointed a mild-mannered economist to lead talks. Other stopgap measures including pawning the government’s power tools, acoustic guitars, and NordicTrack exercise machines to raise muchneeded cash for Greek banks.

of events that will transpire over the next several years.

The early stages of the process will be focused on identifying what pollutants are present, and at what concentrations, in the sediment of the waterway.

Only after that will the signatories to the agreement figure out who is responsible for what share of the costs of cleanup “There’s not a lot of information to go on right now,” said Leonard Machut, the Aquatics Unit Supervisor in Ecology’s Toxics Cleanup Program.

The East Waterway has been on the state’s cleanup list since 2007. Some testing of the sediment has revealed elevated levels of metals such as arsenic, mercury, copper, lead and zinc. Other compounds are also present, including polycyclic aromatic

annexed California and Hawaii, respectively (Today in History, Page B4).

Driving the annexations was the 19th century belief in manifest destiny, which held that America was preordained to expand from coast to coast because of the exceptional nature of its people and institutions, and also because winter in the East and Midwest really sucks.

hydrocarbons, semivolatile organic compounds, polychlorinated biphenyls (commonly known as PCBs), and dioxins, a group of chemicals believed to cause cancer in humans.

In 2011, sampling in the sediment revealed an average concentration of dioxins of more than 63 parts per trillion. The Ecology department considers anything more than 4 parts per trillion to be potentially unsafe.

Those tests also revealed a layer of wood pulp on the bottom of the waterway, smothering all sea life.

While there has been periodic sampling and testing for toxins over the years, there has never been a comprehensive survey of all the pollutants in the bay.

Aerial video showed what appeared to be a great portion of a cave roof collapsed, with rescuers being lowered from helicopters to tend to victims. A multi-agency rescue training session was held at the ice caves in April.

The caves are closed to the public indefinitely. The Mountain Loop Highway also was closed at Deer Creek.

John Scott, of Edmonds, visited the ice caves earlier in the day. He had just pulled off the Mountain Loop Highway and saw a string of emergency vehicles pass. He turned around to see if he could help.

Scott runs Artistic Yard Care, a landscaping business. His rig was equipped with shovels, picks and bottled water. Despite his offer to help, he was turned away.

He stuck around long enough to see two men flown out by medical helicopters. “Both men wore neck braces. It looked devastating,” he said. “I could tell they were both in a lot of pain.

“As soon as one helicopter left, the other landed.

The level of emergency medical support was impressive,” he said.

Why doctors, of all people, show up for work sick Los Angeles Times Doctors and nurses understand that working while they’re sick can put their patients at risk.

But most do so anyway, a new survey of workers at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia suggests — influenced by factors as varied as concerns over who will fill in for them, worries that their patients can’t get by without them and a widespread notion that health care workers who stay home to nurse a cold or stomach bug are somehow weak or unprofessional.

Survey results were compiled by researchers affiliated with the hospital’s division of infectious diseases, and were published Monday in JAMA Pediatrics.

The group collected anonymous survey responses in early 2014

from 280 attending physicians and 256 “advanced practice clinicians,” including nurse practitioners, physician assistants, clinical nurse specialists, nurse anesthetists and nurse midwives.

The vast majority — 95.3 percent — said they believed that working while sick puts patients at risk, but 83.1 percent said that they had come to work with symptoms at least once in the past year.

More than half of all surveyed reported doing so two to four times; nearly 10 percent, five or more times. Many (55.6 percent) said they would work with respiratory symptoms such as cough, congestion and sore throat; 30 percent said they would work if they were suffering diarrhea.

Generally, doctors were more likely to report they would work while ill.

“Right now we have a couple of data points, but the gaps between them are pretty large,” Machut said.

The source of the pollutants is less of a mystery: lumber mills have operated on that waterfront since at least 1902, and in 1931 the Puget Sound Pulp and Timber Co. built a mill that would later be acquired

by Scott Paper Co. and Kimberly-Clark.

Kimberly-Clark operated the mill until 2012, then closed it down and demolished the mill. Cleanup of the former mill site

followed one Sunday, which Sara Soleimani, of Long Beach, Calif., recorded with a video camera. The video shows an overhang of a cave collapsing. At least four people came out of the cave unhurt.

Soleimani said she wishes she could have posted Sunday’s video earlier. She didn’t get a chance to post it to her YouTube account until about noon Monday.

After she did that, she said, she called KIRO 7 in Seattle to get the word out.

“I wish people could have seen this sooner, then maybe this could have been prevented,” she said. “It is very shocking that this happened just a few hours after.”

Sunday’s collapse happened about 3 p.m. “When I saw it happen, it was the right side that collapsed,” and it looked like the left side was going to soon follow, she said.

She and her family were scared but stayed by the caves as other hikers arrived.

“People told me they heard the sound when they were 10 minutes away,” she said. “I showed them the video and they didn’t go inside.”

Tracy M. O’Toole, a spokeswoman for Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest, said multiple warning signs have been put up in the past year to indicate the danger.

The ice caves have long

been a popular place for hikers. It’s a short, flat trail along the Mountain Loop Highway in Mount BakerSnoqualmie National Forest. The ice is formed by avalanches that roar down the mountain’s north face during winter and spring.

Most years, one or more caves form as the ice melts.

The temperature in Verlot on Monday reached 87 degrees, and this year’s heatwave and low snowpack have broken records. Recent hiking reports described the caves as constantly melting, with water running off calved-off sections.

The last fatality at the ice caves was 11-year-old Grace Tam, nearly five years ago.

In 1998, a Bothell woman died when part of an icy arch near the cave entrance collapsed on her. Two boys survived being caught in a 1996 collapse. Before that, two men exploring the caves were trapped when the entrance collapsed. They managed to dig themselves out with their pocket knives.

Grace was sitting on a flat rock about 20 feet from the ice when she was killed by a bouncing chunk of ice. She was on a family outing with her parents John Tam and Tamami Okauchi. Grace never went inside the caves and the family believed they were sitting a safe distance away.

After her death, her family sued the Forest Service,

Public meeting and comments The state Department of Ecology is holding a public open house July 14 on its plans to clean up the East Waterway. The meeting will be held at 6 p.m. in the Mount Baker Room of Everett Station, 3201 Smith Ave., Suite 131, Everett. Public comments can be sent to Andrew Kallus via email to andrew. kallus@ecy.wa.gov or regular mail to Department of Ecology, Toxics Cleanup Program, P.O. Box 47600, Olympia, WA 98504-7600. The comment deadline is July 30.

— excluding the waterway — has been entangled in a lawsuit with the city of Everett since last August.

In addition to the mills, the Navy operated its Naval Industrial Reserve Shipyard from 1942-1960 on the land that later became Naval Station Everett, and the Port of Everett has operated several marine terminals.

Raw industrial wastewater and sewage was discharged into the bay until the first deep-water outfall pipe was built in 1951.

Treatment of wastewater didn’t begin until 1965.

Bob Brand, a spokesman for Kimberly-Clark, said that because cleanup was still some years away, it wasn’t possible to estimate what share of the costs the company will have to pay.

“We want to get the investigation done first and identify all the correct steps,” he said.

The agreement also lists the Department of the Navy as a “potentially liable party” alongside

in part saying they wanted more warning signs installed. The suit was dismissed in court.

The Forest Service in 2010 considered fining people who entered the caves.

There are no rangers stationed at the ice caves, but there are multiple warning signs. On any given day people can be seen scaling the ice walls and venturing through the caves, often with children in tow.

The Tam family has hiked the trail to the foot of the ice field every July 31 since Grace died.

“Every year we see someone go inside,” Tam said Monday afternoon, a few hours before the collapse.

“It breaks our hearts to be honest with you. I don’t understand. I really don’t understand.”

The Tams don’t want anyone else to suffer as they have because of the melting caves. Last summer, the Marysville couple and the Forest Service installed a plaque with Grace’s photo on it along the trail. It is meant to serve as a warning to stay away from the caves.

The last paragraph on the plaque describes the danger of the inviting spot: “The Tam family wants you to be aware that this is a beautiful but always changing environment. They hope that you enjoy the ice caves and Big Four Mountain only from a distance.”

Kimberly-Clark, the Port and Natural Resources department, but the Navy is not a signatory to the agreement.

The initial stages of the cleanup will focus on developing a work plan for investigation and a feasibility study, which might take up to a year before the actual investigation begins, to say nothing of drawing up a final plan and beginning the cleanup.

Several stages of the process require public notification and comment periods, including the first one. The Department of Ecology is holding a public meeting July 14 on the project and accepting comments through July 30.

Plans for the cleanup are available online at http://1. usa.gov/1COHtrw, at the Everett Public Library, 2720 Hoyt Ave., or at Ecology’s headquarters, 300 Desmond Drive SE, Lacey (contact Carol Dorn at 360407-7224 or carol.dorn@ ecy.wa.gov to make an appointment).

Work on bridge to Camano hits delays

Construction on the Davis Slough Bridge has ‘passed the halfway point,’ DOT says

By Kari Bray Herald Writer

CAMANO ISLAND — Replacing the only bridge between the island and mainland is taking longer than expected.

Work started last August on rebuilding the Davis Slough Bridge on Highway 532 between Stanwood and Camano Island.

The state Department of Transportation had planned to finish the project this fall, but officials now expect the work to continue into 2016. They hope to be done in the spring.

Crews are building the bridge one half at a time. They finished the south half and shifted traffic from the old bridge onto the new portion last month. The speed limit is 35 mph, down from the normal 45 mph, until construction is finished.

“We’ve passed the halfway point,” said Tom Pearce, a spokesman with the Department of Transportation. “We had hoped to finish this fall, but with any construction project you can encounter challenges that push things back.”

Much of the roadwork requires

dry weather, so the wet winter slowed things down, he said.

Once the bridge is completely built, contractors have to wait for more dry weather to do the final paving. That’s why the completion date is set for spring, he said.

Workers are raising the bridge 10 feet, and the approaching highway five feet, to get it farther from the reach of floods and storm debris. Once the new south half and planned north half of the bridge are connected, it will be 24 feet wider than the original, with a four-foot-wide striped median between lanes

and 14-foot-wide shoulders.

The shoulder space is critical for pedestrians, bicyclists or emergencies, when someone needs to pull over or traffic needs to be routed around an accident, Pearce said.

The new bridge also is designed to hold up if there is an earthquake. If the bridge were knocked out, there would be no land route to Camano Island.

More than 15,000 people live on the island and the state estimates about 18,000 vehicles cross the bridge each day, based on a 2014 traffic survey.

The $19 million rebuild is part of a $29 million project that includes wetland restoration and a new dike at Dugualla Bay on Whidbey Island. State and federal law requires the Department of Transportation to create new habitat to make up for the 1.35 acres of wetland workers are filling in to build the new Davis Slough Bridge. Dugualla Bay is about 12 miles from Davis Slough and both are along Skagit Bay. The department plans to build a new dike, then breach See BRIDGE, Page A4

$1 million bail for alleged Taco Bell shooter

By Eric Stevick Herald Writer

EVERETT — An Everett man accused of shooting three people outside a Taco Bell on June 29 is being held on $1 million bail.

Shaquille Capone Jones, 21, allegedly was upset with an employee and they argued in

the parking lot at 7431 Evergreen Way. The suspect’s street name was listed as “B.G.” for “Breadgetter” in a police report.

The Everett police investigation revealed that the suspect drove a tan SUV to the Taco Bell, allegedly to sell prescription drugs.

Witnesses said the suspect called the Taco Bell worker the

n-word. And Jones also allegedly called him a derogatory sexual term because he had a pink bicycle.

Police said the employee, 29, reportedly challenged the man to a fight in the parking lot.

Jones then allegedly got out of his SUV, drew a gun and fired several shots. The shots hit the

Taco Bell worker, a 19-year-old man from Lake Stevens, who also works for Taco Bell, and an 18-year-old Marysville man who was a passenger in the suspect’s Cadillac.

The suspect’s friend allegedly told him: “You shot me, homie.”

None of the three victims had life-threatening injuries.

MONROE — There’s a new farmers market opening next week in the historic downtown.

The Monroe Farmers Market will start at 501 East Main St. and extend northeast, with vendors lining N. Ann Street.

It is to be open from 3 to 7 p.m.

July 15. The market is expected to keep those hours on Wednesdays through Oct. 14, as long as the weather cooperates.

Molly Daniels, the volunteer market manager, said as a mother of four, she tries to buy mostly fresh and local food for her family.

“A farmers market is a great way to accomplish that,” she said.

So Daniels enlisted the city and the Monroe Chamber of Commerce to help her organize a local farmers market. The city and the chamber have their sights set revitalizing downtown Monroe and the market could bring traffic into the area.

Una Wirkebau-Hartt, chamber director, said many people don’t realize how many foods are produced on local farms or how many mom-and-pop businesses are operating downtown. She hopes the market will increase traffic for the farms and businesses alike.

“The market is a great way to teach about organic and local and what dollars can do when they stay in the local economy,” Wirkebau-Hartt said.

Options for Japanese Gulch park amenities are narrowing

By Sharon Salyer Herald Writer

front porch

MUKILTEO — Basketball courts? Probably not. A place to picnic? Probably yes. And an area for off-leash dogs? Still undecided.

A group working on a plan for the new park at Japanese Gulch asked the public for comment on what amenities it would like to see. Although the committee’s work is still under way,

some of the options appear to have narrowed.

Kirstin Kohorst, one of the committee members, said the group is trying to let the public know that most of the land will remain as it is now, woods with wildlife and a variety of trails.

That’s because 98 acres of the property was bought with money to preserve it as a natural area. “Those 98 acres are untouched,” she said. “We’ll be improving some trails,

closing some and putting in trail markers.”

Some changes are being planned on a slice of the 144acre park near the 76th Street trailhead, mostly likely for restrooms, and an area near the community garden for picnicking.

One of goals is to clear out invasive plants that have invaded the area, such as Scotch broom and blackberries. “For its overall health, we can’t leave it

“There were no reports of fireworks in the area at

She has a mix of vendors selling items such as ready-to-eat food, fruits, veggies, frozen yogurt, fresh flowers, hand-made wares and more.

Pastured Sensations, a rural Snohomish farm on U.S. 2, will be selling fresh, never-frozen chicken.

Skagit Sun Berries, a rural Burlington farm, will be offering strawberries, blueberries and raspberries.

Mount Vernon’s Sky Harvest Produce will be selling vegetables and fruits.

Rainy Sunday Ranch of Sultan will be offering local produce, herbs, and goat’s milk soap. The market also will feature raw honey from Monroe.

To make the market more than a place to shop, Daniels lined up

live music to be played in Travelers Park, a grassy area near 501 East Main St., every Wednesday. The Banner Days, an acoustic band from Snohomish, will kick off the market next week.

Also in the park, Daniels enlisted the help of a Monroe favorite, Adam’s Northwest Bistro & Brewery, to host a beer and wine garden to entertain the adults.

Meanwhile, the kids can play a number of games and do activities,

such as face painting, balloon animals and crafts.

“It’s family fun,” Daniels said. “Bring a picnic blanket and enjoy.”

Gulch: Dog leash issue still undecided From Page A3

Those who responded to an online park survey were in favor of providing areas for mountain biking and for BMX jumping, she said. These are activities that have been going on in the gulch, which was privately owned but was treated as an informal park until the purchase of 98 acres last year.

There will probably be improvements to the

parking area near the trailhead and restrooms could be located near there as well.

Kohorst said one of the most debated issues the committee has wrested with is whether to allow unleashed dogs in the park. In the rest of the city’s parks, dogs must be leashed. There is an off-leash dog park near the bottom of the gulch property. The debate is whether to allow dogs off leash on the park’s trails,

as often happens now.

“There are runners and the dogs come chasing them,” Kohorst said. “But my dog loves to be off leash.”

The public didn’t support a suggestion to install a basketball court in the park, she said.

Baker Landscape Architects of Seattle will continue working on the park’s plan through the summer and fall and city staff will be writing descriptions of its design,

Berner said. The plan is expected to be presented to the city’s Parks and Arts Commission in November and to the City Council in December.

Some changes, such as trail signs, could get under way in 2016 with the help of volunteers, Berner said. Others, like public restrooms, will probably need money from grants to accomplish, she said.

Park raises concerns

By Hal Bernton The Seattle Times

PARADISE CREEK, Olympic National Park — Fire crews call them “cat faces,” deep holes that flames have burned into the trunks of the centuries-old Sitka spruce and hemlock growing here in the Queets River valley.

The trees may smolder for days — spouting smoke from their bases before finally toppling to the ground with a thunderous crash that sounds like a bomb has gone off.

“They are falling down regularly,” said Dave Felsen, a firefighter from Klamath Falls, Oregon.

“You can hear cracking and you try to move, but it’s so thick in there that there is no escape route if something is coming at you.”

This year, even the Queets rain forest, a place that typically receives more than 200 inches of rain annually, is burning.

The fire started after a warm winter prevented most of the snowpack from forming, followed by an exceedingly hot, dry spring that primed the forest for ignition.

The result of this unusual alignment is what now ranks as the largest fire since the park was established, and might burn through the summer.

Mostly, it creeps through a forest floor thick with needle cast and downed logs, then, whenever the humidity drops low enough, flares to take afternoon runs up steep, forested slopes.

The fire is a reminder that even these ancient forests in one of the wettest places in North America have a burn cycle, although it’s measured in hundreds of years.

It also may be a harbinger of things to come as temperatures warm in an atmosphere increasingly influenced by greenhouse gases.

If the snowpack in this region shrinks due to warmer winters, fires are expected to be more frequent.

“If we get the kind of temperatures that are projected, we will see more fires on the west side, and we will have longer fire seasons. I think that it’s inevitable,” said David Peterson, a biologist at the Forest Service’s Fire Sciences Laboratory in Seattle.

The changes that can take place when the climate shifts — even for just one year — are starkly apparent on the Olympic Peninsula, which has seen record low stream flows for June and early July.

The Paradise Fire is burning on the west side of Olympics, where the tremendous amounts of rainfall support many of the park’s biggest, oldest trees.

Some hemlock and Sitka spruce can measure 30 to more than 50 feet in circumference.

The Douglas fir, while less abundant, can live for more than 1,000 years and reach heights of more than 200 feet.

The fire was first spotted in the Queets drainage back on June 15. It was believed to have been started a full month earlier by lightning. By the time firefighters responded, it had spread through 200 acres.

It has now exceeded 1,200 acres as it burns east deeper into the valley and up the slopes.

For firefighters, the big concerns are that winds could shift, enabling the fire to jump the Queets River, then head south through more old growth or spread west into valuable timber lands outside the park.

Fire crews say the blaze is difficult to fight with traditional tactics, such as clearing out an area down to bare earth to try to prevent a fire’s spread.

“Once you get up on a slope, there is so much stuff on the ground and so many big trees that a fire line is neither practical or safe,” Felsen said.

If fire does become more frequent in the rain forests, researchers say, the mix of trees could change.

The number of younger trees, as well as more fire-tolerant species such as Douglas fir, could increase.

Inslee signs early learning, tuition cut bills

By Donna Gordon Blankinship Associated Press

SEATTLE — Surrounded by children, Gov. Jay Inslee on Monday signed bills to help kids on both ends of the education spectrum: a comprehensive new early learning bill and a measure that will cut college and university tuition.

The Early Start Act makes the state’s quality-rating system mandatory for licensed childcare facilities that receive state dollars.

It also provides money for training of teachers, coaching and technical assistance to help these childcare centers reach a higher rating. Participation by centers and daycare homes that do not receive state dollars continues to be voluntary.

The College Affordability Program would cut tuition

RACHEL LA CORTE / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Gov. Jay Inslee is joined by lawmakers and other supporters as he prepares to sign a bill cutting tuition at the state’s colleges and universities Monday in Olympia.

at all of Washington’s public college and universities over the next two years.

Four-year schools would see their tuition cut by 15 to 20 percent, and two-year

schools would see tuition drop by 5 percent.

The state budget makes up for the cut in dollars going to the state’s colleges and universities by adding

money to the state higher education budget from other sources.

Tuition is set to go down 15 percent at the University of Washington and

Washington State University and 20 percent at Western, Central, Eastern and the Evergreen State College.

Beginning in fall 2017, state college and university tuition may start to go back up, but only as fast as the annual average percentage growth in the median hourly wage for Washington for the previous 14 years.

National experts on college tuition have called Washington’s tuition cut a rare move that could influence other states.

The new early learning law also changes the way the state distributes its childcare subsidies, allowing kids to stay in their subsidized program for 12 months even if their family’s financial situation changes.

The governor commended both houses of the Legislature for the bipartisan way they worked to pass this bill sponsored

by Rep. Ruth Kagi, whose granddaughter came to the bill-signing event.

Inslee called it one of the most comprehensive and important bills to come to his desk this year.

The state budget also boosts spending on early learning by allocating $94.5 million to the state preschool budget to train teachers and educate more children. The Early Start Act would help more than 48,000 children get a high-quality start on their educations, Inslee said.

The state budget makes a strong commitment to education at every level this year, from preschool to K-12 to higher education, the governor said.

“Every single rung on the education ladder has to be financed and fulfilled. But it starts on this very first rung,” Inslee said before signing the preschool bill.

Class-size initiative and science exam bill extend the legislative session OLYMPIA — Senate Democrats said Monday they don’t believe the Legislature needs to move this year to address a class-size initiative with a multibillion-dollar price tag that has put the new state operating budget out of balance.

However, they said they are willing to negotiate with majority Republicans to find an agreement that ends the longest single-year legislative session on record.

Washington state lawmakers, after barely averting a government shutdown last week, were still in the midst of a triple overtime legislative session because the $38.2 billion budget signed

by Gov. Jay Inslee with moments to spare assumed savings of $2 billion for the next two years from the suspension of the voterapproved Initiative 1351.

The Democrat-led House voted to suspend the initiative for four years on a bipartisan vote, but the Republican-led Senate did not have enough votes to get the required twothirds majority to suspend the initiative.

Democrats have pushed to cut a deal that would bring them a vote on the initiative suspension in exchange for a vote on a bill that would let high school seniors who didn’t pass the required statewide science exam earn a diploma anyway.

“Nobody wants to be here. I certainly don’t,” Senate Minority Leader Sharon Nelson, D-Maury Island, said at a meeting with reporters. “But at this point in time it is clear that we are going to work on trying to resolve the 1351 issue and also address high-stakes testing.”

Sen. Andy Billig, D-Spokane, insisted that his caucus was left out of the discussions of what to do with the initiative, even though Senate Democrats stood with Gov. Jay Inlsee and other legislative leaders to announce the framework of the budget deal.

“This is ultimately about helping kids and about helping students in Washington,” Billig said.

Billig and Nelson said there are several other versions of the bill that Senate Democrats would be more comfortable with, including a shorter timeframe for the delay.

“It’s not that unreasonable to say until we can get a plan that has the votes to pass, we’re going to keep working on it and we’ll address it at the time we can come up with that consensus plan,” he said.

Inslee spokeswoman Jaime Smith said the governor has been clear that he wants this fixed sooner than later. Senate Majority Floor Leader Joe Fain, R-Auburn, said he has met with Nelson

to reopen the lines of communications between the two caucuses.

“We don’t believe that there is anything that is required for the Democrats to hold up their end of the bargain, but we’re willing to sit down and listen to their ideas because we believe that getting done

with our business is important,” he said.

Several other loose ends remain before the Legislature, including a spending bill that lists projects tied to a transportation revenue package passed last week that raises the gas tax over the next two years; a bonding bill tied to the

transportation package; and a bonding bill tied to a $3.9 billion construction budget signed by Inslee last week.

Nelson said she wants to see the construction budget and transportation package resolved this year, but she stressed that she believes action on the initiative can be delayed until next year’s

legislative session.

“This is a problem, it is not a crisis,” she said. “Government did not shut down. We were careening toward a fiscal cliff, and that was halted.”

Lawmakers on Monday were in their 172nd day of session. They adjourned their regular 105-day session two days early after

encountering their first budget obstacles.

The third overtime session started on June 28 and could run through July 27. The secretary of state’s office said the session surpassed the previous record of 163 days in 2001 as the longest single-year session on record.

Iran wants end to arms embargo

By George Jahn Associated Press

VIENNA — As negotiators braced for yet another possible extension of nuclear talks, Iran demanded Monday that any deal should include the end to a U.N. arms embargo as well — a condition backed by Russia but opposed by the United States as it seeks to limit Tehran’s Mideast influence.

Late last month, Iran and six world powers gave themselves an extra week past June 30 after it became clear that the original deadline could not be met.

The sides now are trying to work out a deal that would limit Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for the easing of tens of billions of dollars in economic penalties on the Islamic Republic.

But disagreements persisted as the sides moved close to the

new Tuesday deadline, and White House spokesman Josh Earnest said another extension was “certainly possible.”

Negotiators had previously mentioned the mechanics of curbing Iran’s nuclear programs and the time and pacing of economic sanctions relief as the most contentious problems. But an Iranian official — briefing reporters on condition of anonymity — said Monday that ending the arms embargo was an important part of the deal.

The Iranian decision to publicly bring that issue into the mix suggested that disputes ran deeper than just over the most widely aired issues.

A preliminary nuclear deal reached in April did not specifically name the arms embargo on Iran as part of the long-term accord. But a U.S. fact-sheet issued at the time said that

the deal now being worked on would result in “the comprehensive lifting of all U.N. Security Council sanctions” on the Islamic Republic, which could be interpreted to include the arms embargo.

Still, the U.S. also said at the time that “important restrictions on conventional arms and ballistic missiles” would be incorporated in any new U.N. guidelines for Iran.

Both Russia and China have expressed support for at least a partial lifting of the arms embargo.

Moscow, in particular, is interested in military cooperation and in Russian arms sales to Tehran, including the long-delayed transfer of S-300 advanced air defense systems — something long opposed by Washington.

The U.S. doesn’t want the arms ban ended because it

fears Tehran could expand its military assistance for Syrian President Bashar Assad, for Houthi rebels in Yemen fighting a U.S. backed Arab coalition and for Lebanon-based Hezbollah, which opposes Israel.

Lifting the embargo also would increase already strong opposition to the deal in Congress and in Israel.

Iran also wants to have a hand in shaping any Security Council resolution that would endorse a comprehensive nuclear deal, if one is reached, the Iranian official said.

He offered no details but told reporters that Iran and Security Council members at the nuclear talks are drafting language for a proposed U.N. resolution and that Tehran is seeking a shift from the critical tone of previous resolutions on its nuclear program.

S.C. Senate votes to take down flag

By Jeffrey Collins Associated Press

COLUMBIA, S.C. — The South Carolina Senate voted Monday to pull the Confederate flag off the Capitol grounds, clearing the way for a historic measure that could remove the banner more than five decades after it was first flown above the Statehouse to protest integration.

A second vote will be needed Tuesday to send the proposal to the House, where it faces a less certain future. But Monday’s 37-3 vote was well over the two-thirds majority needed to advance the bill.

If the House passes the same measure, the flag and flagpole could be removed as soon as Gov. Nikki Haley signs the papers. The flag would be lowered for the last time and shipped off to the state’s Confederate Relic Room.

The vote came at the end of a day of debate in which several white senators said they had come to understand why their black colleagues felt the flag no longer represented the valor of Southern soldiers but the racism that led the South to separate from the United States more than 150 years ago.

As the senators spoke, the desk of their slain colleague, Clementa Pinckney, was still draped in black cloth. Pinckney and eight other black people were fatally shot June 17 during Bible study at a historic African-American church in Charleston. Authorities have charged a gunman who posed for pictures with the rebel banner. Police say he was driven by racial hatred.

Sen. Lee Bright, R-Spartanburg, holds the “Roll Call of the Dead” on Monday while making his case not to remove the Confederate flag from the State House grounds.

Senators watch and tally the votes on one of the amendments during the South Carolina Senate debate on the Confederate flag.

After the vote, Sen. Vincent Sheheen, a Democrat whose suggestion that the flag be taken down while running for governor last year was called a “stunt” by Haley, was given a high-five from a

fellow legislator.

“I thought it would happen, but never this fast,” Sheheen said.

Republican Sen. Larry Martin, who for decades fought off attempts to remove the flag

from Statehouse grounds, said the church shooting drew him to the same conclusion that his black colleague arrived at long ago — that the rebel flag “has more to do with what was going on in the 1960s as opposed to the 1860s.”

The Senate rejected three amendments. One would have put a different Confederate flag on the pole. A second would fly the flag only on Confederate Memorial Day, and the third would leave the flag’s fate up to a popular vote.

Sen. Lee Bright, who suggested the popular vote, said the Confederate flag has been misused by people like Dylann Roof, who is charged with murder in the church shootings and who posed in pictures with the rebel banner.

“I’m more against taking it down in this environment than any other time just because I believe we’re placing the blame of what one deranged lunatic did on the people that hold their Southern heritage high,” said Bright, a Republican.

The flag still has at least a few days to fly, even with Haley, business leaders and civil rights proponents wanting it down as soon as possible.

There are indications the proposal could have a tougher road in the House.

The bill is expected to be sent directly to the House floor Wednesday with several amendments offered, said Republican Rep. Greg Delleney, chairman of the Judiciary Committee.

If any amendments pass, a conference committee would probably be needed to hash out differences.

Pope extols family to 500,000 faithful

By Pablo Jaramillo Viteri and Tracy Wilkinson Los Angeles Times

QUITO, Ecuador — Hundreds of thousands of cheering people welcomed Pope Francis to Guayaquil, Ecuador, on Monday for the first Mass on the Argentine-born pontiff’s landmark pilgrimage to Spanish-speaking Latin America.

Crowds engulfed Francis as he walked from the airplane that took him from the capital, Quito, to the coastal city of Guayaquil. Many tried to shake his hand and took selfies with the widely admired pope. Still more lined the roadway leading to the site of the Mass.

Preliminary estimates of attendance at the Mass topped half a million. The pope dedicated the service to the traditional family, the promotion of which he believes can stave off many of society’s ills, especially in impoverished Latin America.

“The family,” he said, speaking in his native tongue of Spanish, “is the nearest hospital. the first school for the

young, the best home for the elderly.

“The family constitutes the best ‘social capital,’” he continued. “It cannot be replaced by other institutions. It needs to be helped and strengthened, lest we lose our proper sense of the services which society as a whole provides.”

Those services should not be regarded as charity but as part of the “social debt” owed the institution of family, he said to

sustained applause.

As expected, the pope departed from his prepared text on several occasions. At one point, as he spoke of how all members of a family are to be valued, he paused to recall an anecdote involving his mother. He said she was asked once which of her five children she loved the most.

She responded that the five were like the five fingers on her hand; hurting any one of them

would hurt her equally.

The pope is on an eight-day visit to his native continent, deliberately choosing three of its poorest and most marginalized countries to drive home his belief in preaching “from the periphery,” or among the most disadvantaged.

After Ecuador, he travels to Bolivia and then Paraguay. In addition to meeting with clergy and national officials he will make a point of spending time at so-called places of pain — including a children’s hospital and a notorious prison.

Earlier Monday and shortly after his arrival in Guayaquil, the pope stopped to pray at the Divine Mercy shrine, where he blessed sick faithful and then chatted with the staff members who care for them. In his typical joviality, he said to the staff: “I will bless you, and I won’t charge.”

Leaders of the Roman Catholic Church credit the popularity of Francis with staunching an exodus from the faith and attracting people back to the fold. It is too soon, however, to bear that out with numbers.

ACROSS THE U.S.

10 killed, 55 hurt over holiday in Chicago CHICAGO — Shootings over the Fourth of July weekend in Chicago left 10 people dead and 55 others wounded, a toll lower than last year.

Among those killed was 7-year-old Amari Brown, shot in the chest as he watched fireworks near his father’s home Saturday night. Police said they believe the attack was aimed at the father, whom they described as a ranking gang member.

Last Fourth of July, 82 people were shot, 16 of them fatally, over 84 hours.

Five of those shot were wounded by police. There were no police-involved shootings this year.

Calif.: BMX pioneer dead Police said a body found in a tent in a vacant lot in the desert city of Indio has been identified as Scot Alexander Breithaupt, a pioneer in the sport of bicycle motocross known as BMX. Sgt. Dan Marshall said someone called police Saturday to report the body near a shopping center. Investigators said there were no obvious signs of foul play.

Breithaupt was 57 and lived nearby.

Marshall confirmed Breithaupt’s affiliation with the sport he helped popularize in the 1970s.

Mass.: Motion for new trial Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has filed a motion for a new trial, less than two weeks after he was formally sentenced to death for the 2013 attack. Tsarnaev’s lawyers filed a preliminary motion for a new trial Monday for his conviction and death sentence.

The motion did not contain any details on what grounds they plan to argue, saying only that a new trial is “required in the interests of justice.” Tsarnaev, 21, was convicted of 30 charges in the bombing, which killed three people and injured more than 260.

AROUND THE WORLD Italy: Spy firm hacked An Italian surveillance firm known for selling malicious software used by police bodies and spy agencies has succumbed to a cyberattack, the firm’s spokesman said Monday, confirming an embarrassing breach which sent documents and invoices ricocheting across the Internet. Hacking Team spokesman Eric Rabe said the company was the victim of an “online attack.” “We believe documents have been stolen from the company,” he said. Hacking Team’s headache began late Sunday, when its Twitter account was apparently hijacked and began posting screenshots of what were purported to be internal company emails and details of secret deals with various world governments.

Russia: Bomber crashes A Russian military aircraft crashed Monday while taking off on a nighttime training flight and both pilots were killed, the Defense Ministry said. It was the fifth accident involving a Russian military aircraft in the past month, but the first with fatalities. The Su-24 bomber crashed while taking off from an airfield in the Khabarovsk region in Russia’s Far East, the ministry said. The plane banked sharply and struck the ground, the ministry said.

Nigeria: 60 killed A day of extremist violence against both Muslims and Christians in Nigeria killed more than 60 people, including worshippers in a mosque who came to hear a cleric known for preaching peaceful coexistence of all faiths. Militants from Boko Haram were blamed for the bombings Sunday night at a crowded mosque and a posh Muslim restaurant in Jos; a suicide bombing earlier at an evangelical Christian church in Potiskum, and attacks in several villages where dozens of churches and about 300 homes were torched.

Mozambique: Ivory, rhino horn destroyed Mozambique destroyed a large stockpile of confiscated ivory and rhino horn Monday in an effort to curb severe poaching, the government said. A total of 5,370 pounds of ivory and dozens of rhino horn pieces weighing a total of nearly 440 pounds were destroyed, said the Wildlife Conservation Society, a New York-based group that co-manages Niassa National Reserve in northern Mozambique.

Greece’s Tsipras looks to rebuild talks

By Henry Chu Los Angeles Times

ATHENS — Greece intends to put forward new bailout proposals to its European partners at an emergency summit Tuesday, government sources here said, as officials sought to stave off a collapse of their country’s banking system and its potential ejection from the eurozone.

Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras huddled with leaders from across the political spectrum Monday morning and well into the afternoon to hash out a new bailout plan that they could support as a united front and that would be more palatable to international and European creditors.

Tsipras also spoke with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, the eurozone’s most powerful leader, by phone, and the two agreed he would present new bailout proposals to the leaders of the 19 nations that use the euro at a summit in Brussels on Tuesday evening, according to a Greek government official, speaking on customary condition of anonymity.

Tsipras’ long huddle with fellow politicians in Athens was matched by similar crisis meetings in other European capitals as officials scrambled to respond to the resounding rejection of previous bailout proposals by Greek voters in a snap referendum Sunday.

There were mixed signals over whether a deal could be struck quickly, with some German and other Northern European officials digging in their heels over

Associated Press

NEW YORK — A slew of global economic and geopolitical factors are working to pummel the price of oil and set up U.S. drivers for very low gasoline prices later this year.

The price of U.S. crude dropped 7.7 percent Monday to close at $52.53 a barrel and is now down nearly 15 percent from the high for the year set on June 10.

Gasoline prices in the U.S. will likely slide somewhat from a national average of $2.77 over

New Greek Finance Minister Euclid Tsakalotos (right) and outgoing Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis leave after a handover ceremony in Athens on Monday.

what they deem to be Greek irresponsibility and officials from Southern European countries such as France and Italy sounding more conciliatory.

A fast agreement is necessary for the European Central Bank, or ECB, to keep propping up Greece’s ailing financial system, which has hemorrhaged billions of euros in the last few weeks.

Without a deal, the ECB, based in Frankfurt, Germany, could conclude that Greece’s banks are insolvent and would then be obliged by its rules to cut off aid.

Without that lifeline, Greek banks would run out of cash within days, if not hours. Banks have been closed since last Monday, and customers are permitted to withdraw only about $66 from ATMs each day. Reuters reported that the Greek government, which had previously promised to open the banks Tuesday, would extend the closure for a few more days.

At a late Monday meeting of ECB officials in Frankfurt, Germany, the stewards of European finances decided against any

change to the level of emergency cash infusions for Greek banks.

Before suspending the euro deliveries more than a week ago, the ECB had pumped $99 billion into the banks in recent weeks to prevent them from running out of money as depositors scrambled to withdraw their euros.

The ECB officials are likely waiting for a signal from the finance ministers after their Tuesday meeting to make any further liquidity infusions for the See GREECE, Page A8

the next few weeks. Experts then expect a substantial decline in late summer and fall, pushing average gasoline prices in some low-price states below $2 a gallon again.

“We’re going back to some of those low numbers we saw over the winter,” said Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst at the Oil Price Information Service. “In some places (gas) prices starting with a 1 should come back by football season.”

There are several signs around the world that point to falling demand for crude and fuels at a

time when supplies are high and possibly rising: ■■The Greek financial crisis could slow economic activity in Europe, which would reduce demand for gasoline and diesel.

■■China’s oil imports have already slipped this year and a plummeting Chinese stock market could mean even weaker demand in the world’s second largest oil consumer.

■■Oil production in OPEC, driven by strong production from Saudi Arabia and Iraq, is helping to keep the world’s supplies high.

Iran is eager to begin exporting

oil that has been held back by sanctions, and talks between the U.S. and Iran that could lift those sanctions appear to be progressing.

■■U.S. oil production remained strong even after drillers slowed their activity in the face of low oil prices — and now some drillers are ramping up production again.

“All signs point south for oil prices,” wrote Thomas Pugh, commodities economist at Capital Economics, in a report Monday. Pugh reduced his forecast for oil prices at the end of this year by $5 to $50 a barrel.

Don’t twist that new ‘sophisticated’ Oreo

By Candice Choi Associated Press

NEW YORK — Oreos are getting a skinny new look, and its maker says the new cookie is a “sophisticated” snack for grownups that isn’t meant to be twisted or dunked.

Mondelez International Inc. says it will add “Oreo Thins” to its permanent lineup in the U.S. starting Monday. The cookies look like regular Oreos and have a similar cookie-to-filling ratio,

except that they’re slimmer. That means four of the cookies contain 140 calories, compared with 160 calories for three regular Oreos.

And since they’re for adults, Oreo says they weren’t designed to be twisted open or dunked.

That’s even though about half of customers pull apart regular Oreos before eating them, according to the company.

“If people want to do that, it’s clearly up to them,” said Janda Lukin, senior director of Oreo for North America

at parent company Mondelez International.

Despite having fewer calories per serving, Mondelez says the new cookies aren’t meant to be a

diet snack. Still, the “Thins” name could be a stealth way to appeal to people who want to watch their weight.

The slimmer Oreos were first rolled out last year in China.

Lukin said they helped win back “lapsed users,” or younger women who wanted something less rich.

In the first eight months, she said Oreo Thins generated $40 million in sales.

Mondelez said the Thins will cost the same as regular Oreos.

American Apparel losing stores, workers American Apparel said Monday that it will close stores and lay off employees as it tries to cut costs and turn around its fortunes.

The cuts will save a total of $30 million, the company said, though it did not say how many shops or jobs will be affected. American Apparel has 239 retail locations and a workforce of around 10,000.

Paula Schneider, chief executive of American Apparel, said her focus is to remedy problems that caused “steep losses” over the past five years. In that time, American Apparel has suffered more than $300 million in losses.

some of the other questions that readers had.

Family Dollar sold Dollar Tree officially owns Family Dollar. In a statement Monday, Virginia-based Dollar Tree said it has completed its $8.5 billion purchase of Family Dollar, based in the Charlotte area, drawing to a close a yearlong takeover saga that included a buyout attempt from another discount retailer, Dollar General. The combined company will operate about 13,000 stores.

Buffett gives $2.8B Investor Warren Buffett has given more than $2.8 billion worth of Berkshire Hathaway stock to five charities as part of his plan to gradually give away his fortune. Buffett, who is Berkshire’s chairman and CEO, said Monday that he made his annual gifts last week. Buffett has been giving away blocks of Berkshire stock since 2006 with the biggest share going to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

Services firms grow U.S. service firms grew at a slightly faster pace in June, as business activity and new orders increased. The Institute for Supply Management said Monday that its services index edged up to 56 in June from 55.7 in May. Any reading over 50 indicates that services firms are expanding.

Starbucks prices rise Starbucks is raising prices again starting Tuesday, with the increases ranging from 5 to 20 cents for most affected drinks, the company said. A small and large brewed coffee will each go up by 10 cents in most areas of the country, Starbucks said, bringing the price of a large coffee to $2.45.

Other coffee sellers are cutting prices. Last week, The J.M. Smucker Co. said it would cut prices for most of its coffee products because of declines in future prices for unroasted coffee beans.

Amazon day of deals Amazon is trying to lure more subscribers to its $99 Prime loyalty program by pushing a day of discounts it calls “Prime Day.” It plans to offer thousands of deals on July 15 in the nine countries that have the Prime program, including the U.S. The promotion is pegged to Amazon’s 20th anniversary July 16. Amazon said there will be more deals on July 15 than on Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

Greek banking system that is reportedly down to its last $555 million— or about $50 per person in the country of 11 million.

Earlier in the day, it emerged that Greece’s bailout negotiating team would be missing one prominent member: Yanis Varoufakis, the flamboyant finance minister.

Varoufakis abruptly resigned from his post Monday morning despite the rousing endorsement to his anti-austerity policies delivered just hours earlier by the Greek plebiscite.

A short time later, lead bailout negotiator Euclid Tsakalotos was appointed as his replacement, The Associated Press reported.

responsible credit-card use can have?”

In full disclosure, I use credit cards. But I’ve seen the devastation these instruments can have, not only on people who are reckless, but also on cardholders who have been responsible. Some people carry a balance but they pay their cards on time and even make more than the minimum monthly payment. But for them things can turn bad — as they did for many people whose financial situations collapsed during the recent economic downturn.

As I wrote during one chat, I’m hard on credit because I see “debt people” — all the time.

Here’s how I approach things when it comes to debt. I try to avoid using “but” and “if” in my advice because some folks, who shouldn’t be using credit, inevitably ignore what follows. Were I to say, “Credit is great but be careful,” they might only hear or read “credit is great.”

Varoufakis said on his website that he was stepping down with the encouragement of Tsipras, who, though a close ally, had judged it “potentially helpful” to talks with Athens’ creditors if Varoufakis were not on the negotiating team.

The outspoken financial minister is a popular figure with many in Greece, and had become a media star with his leather-jacketed, motorcycle-riding style and penchant for blunt, unfiltered statements.

But those qualities also poisoned Varoufakis’ relations with the rest of the “Eurogroup,” the club of finance ministers from eurozone nations, some of whom did not hide their contempt for him.

I’m extreme. I know that. But it’s on purpose.

If you’re good with credit, you won’t need to listen to me. However, I am talking to the masses, and many of them aren’t good with plastic. I just don’t want to give anyone any wiggle room who needs to hear a tough message to keep them out of debt bondage.

Besides, none of us wins with credit. None. Of. Us. We spend more than if we use cash. Even if we pay the bill off every month.

Even if we get reward points. Studies show that when you use plastic — debit or credit — you tend to spend more than if you had to use cash.

Many people are living not above their means but at their means, meaning they are doing OK, and handling the credit only until they aren’t doing OK. They spend easily on credit, and more than they should, when they should be saving for what they want.

That’s why I hate on credit. (c) 2015, Washington Post Writers Group

Whether his resignation will help jump-start bailout talks between Greece and its European partners remains to be seen.

Athens’ demands for less austerity and for some sort of debt relief, which other eurozone nations have so far spurned, have not changed.

If anything, Tsipras’ government will press even harder on those points, emboldened by the results of Sunday’s referendum.

Greek voters endorsed their anti-austerity approach by a resounding margin of 61 percent to 39 percent.

Tsipras tapped Varoufakis, an economics professor, as finance minister after the radical-left Syriza party swept to power in elections last January.

Make parks fund permanent the program has allocated more than $637 million in Washington state to purchase property and easements for federal parks and other lands, matching grants for state and local parks and preservation of sustainable forests.

If reauthorized the fund will provide support for eight projects in Washington state next year, including the acquisition of conservation easements for about 165 acres of farmland under cultivation since the 1850s as part of the Ebey’s Landing National Historic Reserve on Whidbey Island near Coupeville.

Among seven other projects in Washington state it would fund are easements and property acquisition at Mount St. Helens, the Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge, Olympic National Park and Ridgefileld National Wildlife Refuge.

But Congress has less than 85 days to approve legislation that will reauthorize the program. With expected bipartisan support from at least 59 senators and

leadership from Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., the legislation may still need a push from conservation-minded Republicans in the House, along the lines of that from 8th Congressional District Rep. Dave Reichert, R-Wash., who spoke in favor of the bill recently and believes there is enough support in the House.

“There is a deep desire to continue these conservation efforts to protect land and work to make each state green, clean and pristine,” Reichert said during a joint conference call last month with 6th Congressional Rep. Derek Kilmer, D-Wash.

Beyond protecting the nation’s natural and historic sites, there are also economic arguments that favor the program. A 2010 study by the Trust for Public Land looked at a sample of 16 federal sites that received support from the conservation fund from 1998 to 2009. At the national parks, forests, monuments and other federally managed lands, the investment of $357

million to acquire 131,000 acres, returned $2 billion, $4 for every $1 spent, in “natural goods and services,” which include grazing on grasslands, watershed protection and flood prevention.

Considering the whole of national parks, forests, wildlife refuges and other federal lands, the Trust for Public Lands study estimated annual recreation spending by visitors totals nearly $27 billion and directly supports more than 456,000 jobs.

Included in the current legislation is a provision that would authorize the Land and Water Conservation Fund permanently. After 50 years, the program has more than proved itself; it has become a necessary fixture in how we manage and support our public lands.

After a final reauthorization, Congress should resolve to honor its commitment to the fund by allocating to it all of the revenue it is due rather than skimming it to satisfy other responsibilities.

farms, forests, critical areas and water quality, and prevent California-type urban sprawl.

While things were far from perfect during Drewel’s terms, land use comprehensive plans included plenty of public education and participation opportunities, with many workshops and open houses around the county, allowing lots of time for folks to understand the issues and to have a say.

Under the last two county executives — Reardon and Lovick — everything changed in terms of outreach to the public. Open houses and workshops out in our communities on important land use issues stopped. People are now forced to go to planning commission and council meetings to get information. In other words, citizens are ignored while big developers are welcomed.

This is why I’m supporting Dave Somers for county executive. After serving four terms on the county council, he knows how important public participation is and I believe he will set a better path for all residents by ensuring extended public outreach and education on land use and environmental issues that impacts their neighborhoods and our county as a whole.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■EVERETT FIREWORKS

City must plan to enforce its ban Everett is supposed to have a law that forbids the use of fireworks by its citizens, but you would never realize it if you were here on the evening of this recent Fourth of July, and into the first couple of hours on July 5 (like 2:20 a.m. to be exact).

I have no intention of writing just to criticize the seeming lack of law enforcement by the Everett Police or the city administration! I know the police were concerned about the abuses that were so widespread, because I called to report several violations. But if the city of Burien can have its police department go door-to-door to urge its residents to obey their law, surely Everett can do so as well!

But it takes more than just complaining, so here goes: 1. First, offer our police officers a guarantee of at least four hours overtime pay for enforcement activity (patrols) on the evening of the holiday (plus other appropriate periods) at a double pay rate.

2. That tickets issued for fireworks rule infractions be for an initial minimum of $100 for first infraction, with a $25 increase for each additional violation.

3. In addition, the inclusion of such other regulations needed to guarantee compliance with the law and to provide the whole community with the maximum possibility of safety from fire or other damage from fireworks accidents.

I hope this would provide all of our residents adequate safety and comfort.

IN OUR VIEW | Land and Water Conservation Fund

If Congress were seeking a vote on a valuable program that would allow it to pat itself on the back and celebrate its ability to work in a bipartisan fashion, it could do no better than renewal of the Land and Water Conservation Fund.

Ushered into existence 50 years ago by Everett’s Sen. Henry M. “Scoop” Jackson, the conservation fund has more than proved itself with annual success stories that have safeguarded natural areas and water resources, protected cultural heritage sites and provided recreation opportunities in all 50 states.

The program is supported not by taxpayers but through royalties paid by energy companies drilling for oil and gas. Actually, the $900 million in royalties collected each year on the fund’s behalf don’t always end up there; instead Congress has repeatedly siphoned off the money and reallocated it elsewhere.

Nor has that $900 million ever been adjusted for inflation.

Still, since its inception,

What Clinton could learn from Sanders

I

s Bernie Sanders the political reincarnation of Eugene McCarthy? I doubt it, but let’s hope he makes the Democratic presidential race interesting.

I don’t know if front-runner Hillary Clinton shares my wish, but she ought to. I’m not of the school that believes competition for competition’s sake is always a EUGENE ROBINSON good thing.

But Sanders has an appeal for younger, more liberal, more idealistic Democrats that Clinton presently lacks. If she competes for these voters — and learns to connect with them — she will have a much better chance of winning the White House.

Sanders the Vermont independent and the only self-described socialist in the Senate, drew packed houses during a weekend barnstorming tour of Iowa. The 2,500 people who attended his rally in Council Bluffs were believed to be the largest crowd a candidate from either party has drawn in the state. This followed last week’s triumph in Madison, Wisconsin, where Sanders packed a 10,000-seat arena with cheering supporters — the biggest event anywhere thus far in the campaign.

At the same time, Sanders is rising in the polls. The latest Quinnipiac survey showed Clinton with a 19-point lead in Iowa. As recently as May, Clinton had a 45-point advantage.

Comparisons have been made to McCarthy, the Minnesota senator whose opposition to the Vietnam War galvanized support on college campuses and stunned the Democratic Party establishment.

McCarthy’s showing in the 1968 New Hampshire primary — he received 42 percent of the vote — helped lead incumbent Lyndon Johnson to pull out of the race.

But let’s not get carried away. A lead of 19 points is a problem any politician would love to have. Sanders’ numbers had nowhere to go but up, and Clinton’s nowhere but down. What’s safe to say at present is that Sanders — not Martin O’Malley, Jim Webb or Lincoln Chafee — has become the non-Clinton alternative for Democrats who, for whatever reason, are suffering some Clinton fatigue.

One thing Sanders has going for himself is palpable authenticity. He is the antithesis of slick. To say there’s nothing focus-grouped about the man is to understate; one doubts he knows what a focus group is. “Rumpled” is the word most often used to describe him, but that’s not quite right; it’s not as if his suits are unpressed or his shirttails untucked.

He’s just all substance and no style — which makes him stand out among politicians.

Clinton, by contrast, has always struggled to let voters see the “authentic” her rather than the carefully curated, everyhair-in-place version her campaigns have sought to project. Part of the problem, I believe, is that women in politics are held to an almost impossible standard; no male candidate’s wardrobe choice or tone of voice receives such scrutiny. But she also distances herself by campaigning as if she’s protecting a big lead — which she is — and wants to avoid offending anyone.

Sanders’ main appeal, however, is that he speaks unabashedly for the party’s activist left. He is witheringly critical of Wall Street, wants to break up the big banks, proposes single-payer health care and promises to raise taxes. He voted against the 2003 invasion of Iraq; Clinton, then a senator, voted for it but now says that she made a mistake.

Eight years ago, Barack Obama made opposition to the Iraq War his signature issue and rode it to victory in Iowa and beyond. Will lightning strike the Clinton machine twice?

Not the same kind of lightning, surely, and not in the same manner. Obama is a uniquely gifted politician whose appeal went beyond the issues. He was able to make voters believe not just in him but in themselves and their power to reshape the world. And as the first African-American with a legitimate chance to become president, he gave the nation a chance to make history.

This time, Clinton is the candidate with history on her side. The fact that she could be the first woman elected president is not enough, by itself, to win her the nomination. But it does matter. She, like Obama, offers voters the chance to feel a sense of accomplishment.

And nothing about Clinton’s past remotely compares with the millstone of Vietnam that weighed LBJ down and ultimately caused him to give up. I just don’t see a McCarthy scenario brewing — or an Obama scenario, either.

Fourth: Haze from fireworks lingers for hours in Snohomish From Page A1

particular for older people, spokeswoman Jennifer Egger said. People need to check on older relatives and neighbors during the ongoing heat wave and make sure they are keeping cool and drinking water, she said.

The busy weekend was worrisome for firefighters, who say the hot, dry weather has already surpassed a normal August in terms of fire danger.

The last recorded rainfall in the lowlands was June 29, National Weather Service meteorologist Josh Smith said. No rainfall is in the forecast for the next seven days. However, the mountains, including Stevens Pass, could see thunderstorms on Tuesday afternoon and evening.

“Fire conditions are only going to get worse and we are urging people to be safe

and smart with anything combustible,” said Kurt Mills, executive director for SNOPAC, the emergency dispatch center based in Everett.

Marysville police arrested a man after he allegedly set a tree on fire with a firework. The flames reached the top of the 100foot tree.

Five different fires were linked to fireworks in the Monroe area on Saturday, Assistant Fire Chief Steve Guptill said. One significantly damaged a rambler along S. Lewis Street. Two people were displaced, though no one was hurt.

The two-alarm fire was reported just after sundown. A firework got into a row of bushes alongside the house and spread, Guptill said.

A brush fire burned about a half-acre off Currie Road SE. “There were firework

remnants in the area,” Guptill said. “Anybody who caused it was long gone by the time we got there.”

Other brush fires from fireworks threatened houses and cars in the Monroe district, but were extinguished by passersby, he said.

“To say we got stretched thin is an understatement,” Guptill said.

Snohomish looked like a war zone from fireworks, with a smoky haze that lingered for hours, Fire Chief Ron Simmons said. He called it “the craziest thing I’ve ever seen in my life.”

His and many other departments put extra crews on for the weekend,“and I’m glad we did,” he said.

Simmons didn’t leave work until about 12:30 a.m.

Sunday. From his house at 5:30 a.m., he could see “the whole Snohomish valley was just smoke,” he said.

“There was just a haze of smoke. It was incredible.”

One brush fire in Lake Stevens on Saturday afternoon grew to roughly 5,000 square feet, Fire Chief Kevin O’Brien said.

It was near the intersection of 91st Avenue NE and Market Place NE and threatened a home. Every Lake Stevens rig was there, plus crews from Getchell.

Close to midnight, a firework started a fire in bushes that spread to a medical office building, also in the Frontier Village area, O’Brien said. It was quickly extinguished but the smoke had spread inside.

Over Friday and Saturday, Lake Stevens fire crews had 48 total incidents, the majority of them for brush fires, he said.

For the first time ever, Sultan firefighters ran a fire hose across the Skykomish River to reach a fire on an

island that’s state property, Fire Chief Merlin Halverson said.

“It was a small fire, but it was burning in trees and brush and it was going to become a big fire. We couldn’t just let it go,” he said. “Fortunately it got reported early. All of our fires got reported early, which is what helped us.

And I think people were extra vigilant this year, and they know it’s very, very dry.”

His department also had several fireworks-related brush fires, Halverson said.

Watching the weather forecast right now is like “a scary movie,” he said.

Both SNOPAC and SNOCOM, the dispatch center based in Mountlake Terrace, reported spikes in 911 calls on Saturday at more than double last year’s calls for the holiday.

Between 10 p.m. and 10:59, SNOPAC received 663 calls to 911, Mills said.

By comparison, last week’s arsons along I-5 — all highly visible — generated about 400 calls in an hour.

“That’s still extremely busy, but we shattered that record on July 4,” he said.

SNOCOM received 320 calls to 911 about fireworks during the weekend.

Overall, calls were up for the holiday weekend for SNOCOM, but firework complaints were down slightly, according to a report.

More than half of those calls came from Lynnwood and Edmonds, both of which have bans on fireworks.

Altogether, 92 fires were reported to SNOCOM over the holiday, mostly small ones in brush, sheds or trash bins. That’s more than last year’s 37 fires in southwest Snohomish County for the same time period.

Obama says anti-Islamic State strategy unchanged

By Christi Parsons Tribune Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama acknowledged Monday that the Islamic State terrorists have been “particularly effective” at recruiting volunteers to fight in Iraq and Syria but pledged to stay on track with his current strategy even though it “will not be quick” in bringing about the group’s defeat.

Speaking at the Pentagon with his top military commanders at his side, Obama lauded the success of the 5,000 airstrikes against Islamic State positions and the efforts to cut off funding for the militant group. But he insisted that Iraqi forces must ultimately be responsible for defeating the extremists with U.S. advice and assistance

— but not combat troops.

“This is a long-term campaign.

ISIL is opportunistic, and it is nimble,” he said, using an acronym for Islamic State. “In many places in Syria and Iraq, including urban areas, it’s dug in among innocent civilian populations. It will take time to root them out.

“Doing so must be the job of local forces on the ground, with training and air support from our coalition,” Obama insisted.

His remarks came after a meeting with top brass at the Pentagon as the U.S. tries to help Iraqi security forces reverse the gains the militant group has made in recent months.

The president’s rare visit to the Pentagon highlights the concern within the administration about Islamic State’s assault on Iraq and

Syria and about Iraqi forces’ faltering attempts to drive them back.

Over the last weekend, the U.S. stepped up the airstrikes against the terrorist group, launching dozens against Islamic State positions in Syria and Iraq. The flurry of activity coincided with calls from the group for followers to design and carry out their own attacks around the world. The extremists also claimed responsibility for recent attacks on a Tunisian hotel and Kuwaiti mosque.

Concerned about the ability of Iraqi security forces to fight the extremists, Obama announced this summer that he would send 450 additional troops to help train and assist local fighters in the capital of Anbar province, where Islamic State militants have dealt embarrassing blows to the Iraqi

central government. In addition, the U.S. is working to cut off Islamic State’s drive for funding for its campaign of violence. Critics of the administration say that the Obama strategy isn’t working and that it’s time for the president and his team to rethink it.

“ISIL is not 10 feet tall,” Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said in a statement. “It can be, and must be, defeated. But that will never happen if we continue to delude ourselves about our current campaign.”

McCain noted that Islamic State continues to gain territory and warned that no “responsible ground force” exists in Iraq or Syria to take and hold ground from the extremists.

But senior administration officials said Monday that the

president is committed to his current strategy and that he was not going to the Pentagon to discuss possible changes in it.

“There is no situation on the ground that has prompted this,” White House press secretary Josh Earnest said Monday. The White House is “mindful” of the many risks in Iraq and Syria, Earnest said, adding that “the fact is, our national security professionals are always vigilant.”

As he spoke at the Pentagon, Obama was joined onstage by commanders involved in the ISIL discussion, including Defense Secretary Ashton Carter, Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey and Gen. Lloyd J. Austin III, head of U.S. Central Command, which oversees military operations in the Middle East.

The fence on the 4-acre property of Steve Backus is adorned with chain saw carvings made by him as well as donations from his carving friends and family members. Carvers in his family include his mom, Judy McVay, and his uncles Pat McVay and Mike McVay. Hence the McVay sign on the fence.

It’s a “What the hell’s up with that guy?”

BY ANDREA BROWN driving by his gated More: 4-acre compound along a www.heraldnet.com/ woodsy road in Clinton. whatsup.

Ideas? abrown@heraldnet.com, A motley mix of carved 425-339-3443 faces, figures and signs line a fence the length of a football field. A giant pierced ear here and blue teddy bear there. A cowboy in red long johns.

“It’s a couple 300 feet, and I’m not done yet,” Backus said. “The fence is a very good example of an artist with attention deficit disorder. ADD run amok. It’s a strength, not a weakness, as it turns out.”

Drivers brake to ponder the strange gallery that suddenly appears in the forest.

“It’s like this hillbilly hideout and I look like a friggin’ Sasquatch,” Backus said. “There’s been more than one time I walked out the gate when someone’s looking at the fence and they take off. If the gate is open, only the very brave enter.”

?

No reason to fear him, though.

“I’m a gregarious person,” he said, “even though sometimes I might be carrying a chain saw or packing a tool of some sort.”

Backus, 55, has carved for 40 years. His mom, Judy McVay, is a Steve Backus chain saw artist.

So are his brothers, sister, uncles, cousins and daughter.

“It’s a real indigenous folk art,” he said. “A lot of this stuff isn’t necessarily fine art, but it’s cool. It has its roots in roadside carving.”

Backus first took to screwing misfit carvings to the fence about 20 years ago.

“I really started doing it a lot more adamantly 5 or 6 years ago.

Basically I was standing here on a sunny day and the screw gun happened to be charged up and I happened to have some screws and I started going crazy,” he said.

“I thought it looked pretty cool and apparently everybody else thought it is pretty cool. We get

what we call ‘fence watchers’ all the time. I can tell by how they are driving by. It’s like, ‘Oh, what the hell’s this? Oh, that guy has a sense of humor. Oh, (expletive), look at that!’ ” The fence has castoff carvings from family and friends. Not all make the cut. Only those that are “fenceworthy,” as he put it.

“Being a folk artist there’s a lot of experimentation going on,” he said. “Some of this stuff, you get a cool idea but it’s got to cater to someone’s thoughts, which is why we see so many bears.

Everybody can figure out what to do with a little bear. Bears pay the bills. Bears are buying the food. They’re paying for the gas and the electricity.”

Bears sell better than, say, ears.

The giant lobe is from a stump that was riddled with bolts.

“When I cut the hunk of wood off the stump I thought, ‘What the hell can I make with this?’ because I didn’t want to throw it away. Then I probably saw somebody with a bunch of piercings. I couldn’t sell it and it’s heavy and I kept packing it around.”

It was proclaimed as fenceworthy.

“A lot of this stuff isn’t necessarily fine art, but it’s cool. It has its roots in roadside carving,” Backus says.

The fence isn’t a marketplace.

“People say, ‘Do you sell the stuff on the fence?’ Some of it is dear to me that my friends have made and are like snapshots of time,” he said. That stuff is not for sale.

It happens. “I sold a bear to a guy on a 10-speed who came by one time,” he said.

The grounds used to be home to a sawmill where he worked as a teen. He nabbed it 30 years ago when it came up for sale.

“When you’re a chain saw carver you have all these logs and trucks and tools,” he said.

“I made a deal and bought the place and raised the kids. Some pretty good kids, too. My daughter can grab a chain saw and slap a carving out. She brings that feminine touch to it. Lot of flowers and butterflies.”

Backus carved stumps in people’s yards for 30 years. “Hundreds and hundreds of them.” In early years, he’d sell carvings by Lake Union, near where MOHAI is now. This fall will be his 40th year at the Puyallup fair.

He organizes competitions around the region and invites visiting carvers to stay at his compound equipped with the tools of the trade. After all, it’s not like you can carry gas-powered tools on an airplane.

“I’ve got 40 chain saw carvers in my cell phone just in the Js,” he said. “And there’s a lot of Dougs and Daves and Matts in the Ms and Ds.” The locals enjoy the roadside attraction.

“We slow the car down to about nothing and sit there and admire the work that this guy does. It’s incredible,” said Langley resident Olav Valle. “At first I had no idea who was doing this work and our neighbor knows him and pointed out, ‘Oh, yeah, he’s the guy in the Pemco commercial.’”

Oh, yeah. The Pemco commercial.

Backus was featured in the 2008 Pemco Insurance commercial campaign of “We’re A Lot Like You. A Little Different.”

“I carved a little bear holding a toilet-paper holder,” he said. “They still run it. I still get residuals.”

Boyfriend insists on living together

DAILY CROSSWORD

Adapted from a recent online discussion.

Dear Carolyn: My boyfriend of two years wants us to move in together. I suspect we’re getting engaged soon, so I see his point. But from early on, I expressed my feelings about living together before marriage. I feel like being married is a big deal and part of that is finally sharing a space and a life with your chosen partner.

I also value my independence and privacy, and it would take a lifechange to put those aside.

He says I’m being a little selfish, and if I really love him, I’d want to be with him as much as possible.

We both know I’m not “holding out” for a ring, so I think he’s out of line. Is this a red flag?

— Too Selfish?

Well, why isn’t he being just as selfish by insisting he get his way?

“If you really love me” pronouncements cut both ways and need to be called out accordingly.

You’re in it for the life commitment, right? Then explain to him that you’ll move in when this is a life partnership. None of this “I suspect” stuff about engagement, either; in any other aspect of your life, do you hand the decision to someone else and wait to be surprised? Talk openly about your commitment. When you’re both satisfied, then you talk housing.

all the details of de-planning the wedding. I am seeing a therapist, and I know this period of misery will pass with time, but I’m grieving now. Please, any suggestions?

— Un-Wed

CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT That is, if he can grasp that starting a sentence with, “If you really love me ... “ is at best adolescent and at worst coercive. An attempt to pressure someone into something s/he doesn’t want is never to be dismissed lightly. Please make sure that’s an aberration for him, one he readily agrees is out of line once you bring it to his attention.

Dear Carolyn: My ex-fiance and I called things off less than a month before what would have been our wedding day. As I painfully process everything that comes with that, I have NO IDEA what to do on that un-wedding day, and I’m dreading it. It’s easy to say I should do something I’ve always wanted to do, but there’s nothing I want to do!

I really don’t feel up to planning something — I’m exhausted and emotionally spent from heartbreak, not to mention dealing with

Well that stinks, I’m sorry.

A vision of your ideal zero-planning day of self-indulgence is good to have handy, because sometimes we’ve got nothing left. I’ll share an obvious one I defaulted to once: watching, back-to-back-to-back, a movie trilogy that I had always wanted to see but had never gotten around to. I actually remember it fondly.

During another big empty day of lousy significance, I took a lowstress, no-planning, short-haul road trip to a really pretty place to see a low-maintenance friend.

Good luck and hang in there.

Questioning boyfriend is not likely to change Dear Abby: My boyfriend, “Blake,” recently broke up with me — again.

He told me in the beginning that he was bi-curious, and that he wasn’t sure he was completely heterosexual.

When he broke up with me the first time, we stayed friends. Everyone seemed confused that I still wanted to hang out with him.

We started communicating long-distance again last summer. Blake broke it off again a few months later, stating that he is still questioning who he is.

Is it wrong that we’re still friendly? Should I be angrier at Blake? — Still There For Him In Illinois Dear Still There For Him: I don’t see why you should be angry with Blake at all.

He has been honest with you from the start that he may be bisexual or gay. I can tell you from experience that gay men make wonderful friends.

Dear Abby: I’d like your opinion on something that is creating a rift between me and my sister. My 6-yearold daughter, “Mara,” who is very sweet and mature, is used to spending the night away from me because she has been spending weekends with her grandparents since she was little. Now she wants to have overnights with “Uncle Bob,” who is not a blood relative but a good friend who is like family.

I have no concerns about this even though Bob is a bachelor who never had children. Mara loves him, he loves her, and I trust him.

My sister, who is childless, feels strongly that this is not right. She thinks a 6-yearold should only be with her parents and grandparents.

She tells me I should ask a psychologist. I am asking you. — Trusting Mom In Missouri Dear Trusting Mom: RIP HAYWIRE

Your little girl may be sweet and mature for her age, but at 6 years old she is also inexperienced, trusting and vulnerable. Because she loves Uncle Bob, I can understand why she might want to stay overnight at his house. In 99 percent of the cases it would be OK. But in light of what we see in the news, it’s your job as a mother to err on the side of caution, and I don’t recommend it.

Dear Abby: My daughter and her husband have successful careers, and I am happy for that. But now it seems that she’s ashamed of us. We gave her the best we could and she graduated from college with no debt, thanks to us. We felt it was our responsibility.

Now that they earn lots of money, it’s like we’re not worthy of their company. I have talked to other mothers, and it seems they are treated the same way.

(I would say it’s probably seven out of nine parents.)

— Anonymous Mom In Alabama Dear Anonymous Mom: Not knowing you and your friends or their children, it’s hard to say, but if I had to hazard a guess it would be that you gave too much and raised children who grew up with an overinflated sense of entitlement and no sense of gratitude.

“The fish weren’t biting?” I asked.

To make matters worse, Louie was reeled in as today’s declarer. Against four hearts, West led the jack of spades.

It’s family first on HGTV’s programming schedule

By Luqman Adeniyi

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Vanessa Williams was previously married to public relations consultant Ramon Hervey and former Los Angeles Laker Rick Fox.

Vanessa Williams now thricemarried Vanessa Williams tied the knot with her fiance, Jim Skrip, on the Fourth of July.

A representative for the singer-actress said Sunday that Williams and Skrip wed a day earlier. No details of the ceremony were provided.

This is the third marriage for Williams, who was previously married to public relations consultant Ramon Hervey and former Los Angeles Laker Rick Fox. She has three children with Hervey and a daughter with Fox. Williams earlier said she met Skrip, a former accountant, while traveling in Egypt.

The 52-year-old Williams, a former Miss America contestant, has released eight studio albums and received several Emmy nominations for her performance on ABC’s “Ugly Betty.”

Tuesday’s highlights on TV include: Let the games begin!

Season 3 of “Hollywood Game Night” kicks off with a new set of challenges and celebrity players, including John Legend, Jesse Tyler

Associated Press

HGTV is working the buddy system.

The home-and-garden network has upped the number of shows with co-hosts who are related or married to five, adding “America’s Most Desperate Kitchens,” hosted by cousins Anthony Carrino and John Colaneri, to its lineup of shows hosted by spouses, siblings and other assorted relatives.

Keeping it all in the family is deliberate: “The natural conversation and exchanges between them as experts with a pre-existing relationship engages audiences,” said HGTV general manager Allison Page.

The lifestyle network’s top show “Brother vs Brother,” starring identical twin brothers Drew and Jonathan Scott fixing houses for resale, averaged 2.5 million viewers this season — a 47 percent increase over last year’s viewership, according to Nielsen ratings.

Carrino and Colaneri are back with their fourth HGTV show this summer.

In their newest offering, the duo renovates kitchens in homes across the country. Colaneri said they enjoy being able to portray their relationship exactly as it is without any amped-up drama.

“We are first cousins, best friends and we are

Twin brothers Jonathan (left) and Drew Scott host HGTV’s “Brother vs Brother,” one of five shows on the lifestyle network with co-hosts who are related or married.

almost like brothers,” Colaneri said.

Their first HGTV gig hosting “Kitchen Cousins” came out of the blue: They got the surprise call from the network 10 months after a friend sent in a video she made of them.

“I don’t think for one second we ever thought this is something we can do,” Carrino said.

Page said the network’s audience is mostly women, but they have worked to expand it. Since hosting on HGTV, Carrino said, “Big burly union electrical workers” have

come up to him saying, “Can I get a picture? I love your show.”

Page said the two-host system helps diversify the demographic of the audience, especially when each of the hosts has a different expertise.

She said “the shows that focus on physical construction and decoration appeal to both” men and women.

“Our fans stretch from young children to adults,” Colaneri said. “There is always someone who comes up to you that you would never expect.”

Today is Tuesday, July 7, the 188th day of 2015.

There are 177 days left in the year.

Today’s highlight: On July 7, 1865, four people were hanged in Washington D.C. for conspiring with John Wilkes Booth to assassinate President Abraham Lincoln: Lewis Powell (aka Lewis Payne), David Herold, George Atzerodt and Mary Surratt, the first woman to be executed by the U.S. federal government.

On this date: In 1846, U.S. annexation of California was proclaimed at Monterey after the surrender of a Mexican garrison.

In 1898, the United States annexed Hawaii.

In 1919, the first Transcontinental Motor Convoy, in which a U.S. Army convoy of motorized vehicles crossed the United States, departed Washington D.C. (The trip ended in San Francisco on September 6, 1919.)

In 1954, Elvis Presley made his radio debut as Memphis, Tennessee, station WHBQ played his first recording for Sun Records, “That’s All Right.”

he dream, of course, is to play someday in the National Football League.

But in the meantime, the opportunity to continue playing football while representing the United States was an easy decision for James Atoe.

Atoe, who grew up in Alaska and later Oregon but today calls Marysville home, spent five years at the University of Washington and started every game as an offensive lineman in 2014, his senior season. He had hoped to be drafted by an NFL

team, or at least to be signed as a free agent, but when neither occurred Atoe agreed to play for Team USA in the International Federation of American Football

(IFAF) World Championship, July 9-18, in Canton, Ohio.

In addition to the United States, teams in the tournament include Australia, Brazil, France, Japan, Mexico and South Korea.

“Definitely, my ultimate dream is to go to the NFL,” said Atoe, a 6-foot-6, 375-pound offensive lineman. “That’s my goal. This is a sport I love and you can only play for so long, so I definitely want to pursue it as far as possible and eventually get to (the NFL).”

But for now, he went on, speaking by telephone from Ohio, “I’m excited to still be able to play football, a game I love.

The News Tribune

SEATTLE — The gathering of baseball’s stars next week in Cincinnati will include the King.

Seattle Mariners ace Felix Hernandez was among the pitchers selected Monday to the American League roster for All-Star Game on July 14 at Great American Ball Park.

“It’s always special to be an All-Star,” said Hernandez, who started last year’s game at Minnesota. “It’s one of those things that everybody wants to be. Every year, it’s an honor.”

Hernandez will join teammate Nelson Cruz, who was voted by fans as the AL’s starting designated hitter in results announced Sunday by Major League Baseball.

“He’s unbelievable,” Hernandez said of Cruz. “He deserves it.

He’s a great guy. We bring him

here, and he’s the best player we’ve got.”

Hernandez is 10-5 with a 3.02 ERA with one start remaining — Thursday against the Angels — before the break. That positions him to pitch in the All-Star Game on normal rest.

The pitchers and all but one reserve for the 34-player squads were revealed Monday along with the five Final Vote candidates in each league.

Hernandez, 29, and Cruz, 35, are the only Mariners’ players picked to the AL squad, although manager Lloyd McClendon will serve as a coach under Kansas City manager Ned Yost.

This is the sixth selection for Hernandez, which sets a record for a Mariners pitcher. Randy Johnson was a five-time pick. The franchise record is 10 selections by outfielders Ken Griffey Jr. and Ichiro Suzuki.

AquaSox struggle The Everett strong start to the season might prove crucial to their firsthalf success now that the Frogs find themselves struggling a bit as the second month of the season starts.

Everett had lost a season-high three straight games heading into Monday night’s contest against the Hillsboro Hops. However, the Frogs’ offense leads the league with 111 runs scored and 169 hits going into Monday night’s contest. Everett is also just

There’s a bunch of great coaches out here as well as great athletes ... and knowing we get to play for our country is definitely exciting.”

Atoe spent his early childhood in Anchorage, Alaska, and then moved to The Dalles, Ore., when he was in fourth grade.

He graduated from The DallesWahtonka High School in 2010 and enrolled at Washington, where he redshirted as a true freshman and then played the next four seasons.

His time with the Huskies “was unbelievable,” Atoe said.

EVERETT — Trevor Mitsui is enjoying his return to the state of Washington.

The former Shorewood star and University of Washington player was 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an RBI double to account for both Hillsboro runs as the Hops topped Everett 2-1 Monday night at Everett Memorial Stadium.

Mitsui, who also homered in the first game of the series, led off the top of the second inning with a solo home run to right center field that hit the top of the outfield wall and bounced over to put Hillsboro (11-8) up 1-0.

The Shorewood alum added an insurance run in the top of the ninth with a two-out RBI double to double the Hops’ lead in front of Shorewood head coach Wyatt Tonkin, who was in attendance.

Mitsui’s homer was the first of just two hits allowed by Everett starter Lane Ratliff (0-2), who also struck out six in 62⁄3 innings.

Ratliff’s counterpart, Hillsboro starting pitcher Cody Reed (2-1), also contributed to the pitchers duel with 10 strikeouts in six shutout innings. Opponents are hitting just .196 against Reed this season.

Daytona wreck puts NASCAR safety in spotlight Associated Press DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Riding bumper-to-bumper at nearly 200 mph, Austin Dillon was smack in the middle of a pack of cars headed to the checkered flag when he was suddenly sent on the ride of his life.

A wreck that began three rows ahead of him sent cars spinning all over the track. When one turned into him, the force of the hit flipped his car up and over two others. Dillon sailed nearly upside down into the Daytona International Speedway catchfence with such a hard hit that it nearly brought his 3,500-pound car to a sudden stop.

The fence acted like a slingshot, sending the sheared race car back onto the track, where it landed on its roof and was hit again while the engine block smoldered nearby. Left behind were a handful of fans who received only minor injuries from the debris, and a gaping hole in the fence, the mesh torn away.

And Dillon?

Nearly everyone in NASCAR feared the worst looking at what remained of his car. Instead, he was helped out by rival crews and he gave the “I’m OK” two-handed wave used by late bullrider Lane Frost to the stunned crowd.

“It happened so quick,” said Dillon, the grandson of car owner Richard Childress and the first driver entrusted to drive the famed No. 3 that had been out of use since Dale Earnhardt’s fatal 2001 crash at Daytona.

“You’re just holding on and praying that you get through it, get to race again,” he said. “I had just got done stopping and I had crew members everywhere. I thought that was really special and cool. It comforted me pretty quick. And then I just wanted to get out of there and let the fans know that I was OK, let my parents and grandparents know that I was all right.”

Dale Earnhardt Jr. was near tears as he pulled into victory lane at nearly 3 a.m. Monday after watching the last-lap wreck in his rearview mirror. Runner-up Jimmie Johnson said Dillon was lucky to be alive.

LONDON — Decades ago, when the Williams sisters were kids in California, taking tennis lessons from Dad on a municipal court and imagining playing at Grand Slam tournaments one day, it was Venus — older, taller, stronger — who usually beat Serena.

Never a fan of losing to her sibling — who would be? — Serena cheated a tad every so often, lying about whether Venus’ shots landed in or out.

“That’s the past,” Serena jokes now with an eye roll. “I was young.”

As professionals, on the sport’s biggest stages, Serena has been better, especially lately.

On Monday at Centre Court, in the 26th all-Williams contest on tour but first at a major in six years, No. 1-seeded Serena played solidly enough to beat No. 16 Venus 6-4, 6-3 and reach the Wimbledon quarterfinals, closing in on third leg of a calendar-year Grand Slam.

This matchup between five-time champions at the All England Club was onesided, done in 68 minutes. It’s

Wimbledon At a Glance A look ahead to Monday at Wimbledon after Sunday’s day off: Men’s fourth-round matches: No. 2 Roger Federer beat No. 20 Roberto Bautista Agut, No. 3 Andy Murray beat No. 23 Ivo Karlovic, No. 4 Stan Wawrinka beat No. 9 Marin Cilic, No. 12 Gilles Simon beat No. 6 Tomas Berdych, No. 21 Richard Gasquet beat No. 26 Nick Kyrgios, Vasek Pospisil beat No. 22 Viktor Troicki. Novak Djokovic and Kevin Anderson were tied at 2 sets apiece when the match was suspended because of darkness.

Women’s fourth-round matches: No. 1 Serena Williams beat No. 16 Venus Williams, No. 4 Maria Sharapova beat Zarina Diyas, CoCo Vandeweghe beat No. 6 Lucie Safarova, No. 13 Agnieszka Radwanska beat No. 28 Jelena Jankovic, No. 15 Timea Bacsinszky beat Monica Niculescu, No. 20 Garbine Muguruza beat No. 5 Caroline Wozniacki, No. 21 Madison Keys beat Olga Govortsova, No. 23 Victoria Azarenka beat No. 30 Belinda Bencic.

Serena’s sixth win in the past seven matches against Venus, part of a 15-11 edge overall. When it ended, Serena walked calmly, quietly — none of her customary “Come on!” exuberance — to envelop Venus in a long hug.

On Serena’s mind, it turns out, was this question: How many installments are left in this one-of-a-kind sibling rivalry?

“I just thought, ‘Wow, I’m 33, and she just turned 35. I don’t know how many more moments like this we’ll have.’

I plan on playing for years, but you never know if we’ll have the opportunity to face each other,” Serena said after they walked off court with matching red racket bags.

“I just took the moment in, and I thought, ‘We’re at Wimbledon.’

I remember when I was 8 years old, we dreamed of this moment, and it was kind of surreal.”

Venus’ take on the likelihood of future meetings?

“When that moment is over, it will be over,” she said, shrugging her shoulders. “It’s not now.”

Hinnenkamp named Lynnwood boys hoops coach

By David Krueger Herald Writer

Lynnwood High School didn’t have to look too far to find its next boys basketball coach.

Bobby Hinnenkamp, who has been a varsity assistant for the Royals’ girls team the past two seasons, was named the new boys basketball coach at Lynnwood last week, according to Royals athletic director Rob McMains. A 2002 Lynnwood graduate and counselor at the school, Hinnenkamp helped lead the Royals girls team to a 2015 3A state championship at this year’s state tournament.

“I’m really excited about the opportunity,” Hinnenkamp said. “Being a Lynnwood High School alum and being a counselor in the building, I couldn’t be more excited for this to be my first opportunity to be a head coach. ... When I graduated from Lynnwood I kind of knew I wanted to be a coach back then and wanted to go into education.”

Hinnenkamp quickly pegged his alma mater as one of the top places he’d like to coach.

“In the back of your head you think, ‘It’d be cool to come back

here and build a program,’” Hinnenkamp said. “But you never know how it’s going to work or if the opportunity is going to come along. Lynnwood High School is something I take a lot of pride in. I had a wonderful experience going there and playing basketball and I hope to give the players and fans the same thing.”

Prior to returning to Lynnwood for the 2013-14 season, Hinnenkamp was the coach of the Meadowdale freshman team for three years and served as the junior varsity coach at Skyline for three years.

“I couldn’t think of a better fit than Bobby,” McMains said in an email. “I am fired up that he is taking over. Obviously, as a Lynnwood grad he is emotionally invested in the school and the community, but he has a great ability to connect with kids. He’s also had some great experience as an assistant coach leading up to this. ... He is ready for this opportunity.”

Leaving the girls program was tough for Hinnenkamp, who enjoyed working with Lynnwood girls head coach Everett Edwards and his staff — which also includes Dave Douglas,

Colleen Woods, Becky Lewis and Wayne Edwards.

“That’s what made it kind of tough,” Hinnenkamp said.

“Working the last couple years with those guys and working with the girls in that program was an unbelievable experience for me. I learned a lot. ...

It was one of those bittersweet moments. But I enjoyed the growth and my time there at Lynnwood.”

Hinnenkamp takes over for Michael Richards, who resigned in June after going 7-53 in three seasons with the Royals. Hinnenkamp hopes to reverse Lynnwood’s recent struggles, which saw the Royals go 1-19 this past season.

“My own take, and maybe this is the counselor in me, but I think basketball is 80 percent mental and 20 percent physical,” Hinnenkamp said. “I’m not exactly sure where these players are at in terms of their mental focus. When you’re coming off a one-win season I know mentally it’s going to be tough. So you’ve got to instill some confidence in these players. When you get that going you can get them excited and ready to go.”

The week that was for Glacier Peak’s Pettit at East-West All-Star football game

By Spencer Pettit Special to The Herald

Editor’s note: Spencer Pettit recently completed his high school career at Glacier Peak, where he earned numerous accolades as a kicker before committing to the University of Nevada. He took over The Herald’s Twitter account during the week leading up to the EastWest All-Star football game and wrote this account of his week in Spokane.

Being selected to the East vs.

West All-Star game was a huge honor for not only me, but the whole Glacier Peak football program. I was able to spend a week with some of the best high school football players in the state of Washington.

It was pretty exciting and quite an honor to be nominated. The only thing I’d really known about the game is that former Glacier Peak star Sean Elledge played in it. He’s one of the best players I’ve ever played with and knowing that I was viewed at his level got me excited.

We practiced twice a day leading up to the game on Friday, while also going to several social events. It was hot. Really hot. It was between 95 and 100 degrees throughout the week. It finally cooled down for the game

Friday night. It was only 80.

Thursday night was a community dinner where players were split into groups and sent out with a family for the night.

They fed us dinner and kept things exciting. Some players went out to Coeur d’Alene and some went laser tagging. I went with a big group of East and West players to a community pool and had a barbeque.

During free time, which there wasn’t a lot of, we spent time hanging out in the pool and walking over to the local restaurants for more food. I roomed with fellow Wesco honoree quarterback Andrew Zimmerman from Monroe, Dayzell Wilson from Bothell and Jojo Hillel from Mount Si. I knew Zimmerman’s name, but had never actually talked to him before since our teams are in different leagues. He’s a really cool guy and just super relaxed.

Being able to room with these guys allowed me to hang out with and become closer with guys that I have never really gotten the chance to talk to. Getting to know guys from other schools is cool because we are able to learn different experiences and traditions each school has.

Friday was game day. We had a lunch where we were able to listen to a guest speaker:

Travis Long of the Philadelphia Eagles. He played at Gonzaga Prep and Washington State.

He also participated in the East-West All-Star game. He explained to us what football has meant to him and how it has affected his life. It taught us how football can have a different meaning in each person’s life.

For team dinner we went to Outback Steakhouse and had some delicious steak. It was made even sweeter a couple hours later, when I was able to kick two field goals as we beat the East squad 21-13 at Central Valley High School in Spokane.

Going into the game I wasn’t very nervous. I was thinking it’s an all-star game and should be fun. As it got closer to kickoff, there were a pretty good amount of fans and my nerves built up a little bit.

It was fun to have one more high school game before I leave for the University of Nevada on July 28. The biggest thing about the week was I noticed early on that throughout practice there were a lot higher expectations.

It was like even though you’ve already proven yourself on the Glacier Peak football team, which has pretty high expectations itself, now you have to prove yourself again. I think it’s exactly what college football is going to be like.

Sox From Page C1 just .001 behind Boise for the highest NWL batting average (.274) and has manager Rob Mummau confident his team will find its winning ways again sooner, rather than later.

“Just got to stick to your approach,” Mummau said. “You can’t get too high or too low. If things are going good you can’t get too high, if there’s a stretch where you lose a few games in a row you can’t get down. It’s all about sticking to your approach and believing in it. At the end of the day it’ll all work out.”

After suffering its first series loss of the season against Tri-City, Everett fell to the Hops in back-to-back games. Hillsboro topped the AquaSox 8-7 in 10 innings last Saturday and 11-4 Sunday afternoon.

“We’ve lost a few in a row and that’s baseball,” Mummau said. “The guys are still battling hard and they’re trying their best. That’s all we can ask for.”

Even in the losses the Frogs have still swung their bats well. The AquaSox have six batters in the Northwest League’s top 15 in batting average including Luis Liberato (.345), Drew Jackson (.328) and Ryan Uhl (.306).

Also coming on strong for Everett is Braden Bishop. Despite the Frogs’ losses, Bishop is batting .438 with five runs scored over Everett’s last five games. Bishop, the Seattle Mariners’ third-round pick in the 2015 draft, is hitting .278 this season.

“Braden’s done a great job for us all year,” Mummau said. “He’s a good hitter and a very good fielder.”

Even with the losing streak Everett finds itself atop the NWL standings, thanks in part to a strong start to the season. The AquaSox started the year with a 10-3 run, before going 1-4 in their last five games. The Frogs still have a two-game lead in the NWL North standings and will remain in first place regardless of what happened across the league Monday night.

The first half of the NWL season ends July 28 with the top team in the North and South divisions clinching playoff berths.

“The guys are swinging and staying aggressive,” Mummau said. “We’re getting in good-hitting counts (which is key).”

On deck The Sox have two more games against Hillsboro including Wednesday’s series finale which has a special 11:05 a.m. start time because of Kid’s Day. Everett starter and Mariners top prospect Luiz Gohara, (1-2, 4.08 earned-run average) will get the start for the Frogs.

Thursday marks the start of a fivegame series against Boise which, at 493 miles, is the farthest Northwest League city from Everett Memorial Stadium.

Ginobili to return to Spurs Associated Press Manu Ginobili says he is returning to the San Antonio Spurs for a 14th season.

Ginobili made the announcement on Twitter on Monday. The Argentinian will turn 38 later this month and is coming off of a season in which he battled several injuries.

Ginobili averaged 10.5 points in 70 games, his lowest scoring average since his rookie season.

But the Spurs need his experience, versatility and playmaking to bolster the depth on a roster that is a little thin following some big expenditures in free agency.

MARINERS | Update

Bloomquist released after clearing waivers Veteran utilityman Willie Bloomquist officially became a free agent Monday when he cleared waivers and was released.

The Mariners designated Bloomquist, 37, for assignment July 2. He was batting .159 in 35 games. He previously said he hoped to continue his playing career.

When Bloomquist cleared waivers, the Mariners remained obligated for the balance of his $3 million contract — or roughly $1.5 million.

The Mariners’ payout could diminish if Bloomquist signs elsewhere, but his new club likely would play only a pro-rated portion of the major-league minimum salary. That amount is unlikely to be more than $250,000.

Run-starved Safeco Start with the Mariners’ sputtering attack and add their solid pitching staff and — no surprise — Safeco Park is among the American League’s lowestscoring ballparks.

Games at Safeco, prior to Monday, were averaging a mere 6.650 runs a game. That ranked second to the 6.639 at U.S. Cellular Park in Chicago.

The Mariners entered the week ranked last among AL clubs in scoring at 3.39 runs a game (that’s overall, not just at Safeco). The White Sox were second at 3.43.

Hard knocks This might surprise you considering his disappointing season: Robinson Cano tops all Mariners in hard-hit balls as determined by ESPN, which bases its ratings on video reviews by a gametracking service.

Cano hits the ball hard 18.6 percent of the time, which ranks 34th in baseball.

The Mariners have two other players in the top 50: Nelson Cruz at No. 39 (18.2 percent) and Kyle Seager at No. 48 (17.7 percent).

Washington outfielder Bryce Harper leads all players at 25.4 percent, followed by Miami outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (24.5) and Arizona first baseman Paul Goldschmidt (24.2).

The leader among AL players is Los Angeles outfielder Mike Trout, who ranks sixth overall at 22.4 percent.

Hultzen’s return Left-hander Danny Hultzen is scheduled to throw 15 pitches in a simulated game Tuesday in Arizona in his first action since being shut down in mid-May after three starts at Double-A Jackson.

If all goes well, Hultzen will pitch two innings on Monday in the Arizona Rookie League. The tentative plan, barring a setback, is to activate him from the disabled list to pitch for a full-season affiliate (probably Jackson).

Hultzen, 25, missed all of last year while recovering from major shoulder surgery. He permitted three earned runs and 10 hits over three starts before experiencing fatigue in his repaired shoulder.

The Mariners selected Hultzen with the third overall pick in the 2011 draft. He was rated by Baseball America among the game’s top 30 prospects prior to the 2012 and 2013 seasons Minor details Outfielder Pat Kivlehan, on loan from Triple-A Tacoma, led the U.S. Pan American Games squad to a 9-3 victory over Canada in the first game of the Americas Baseball Festival at the National Training Complex in Cary, N.C. Kivlehan, 25, went 3-for-4 with a triple, a home run and three RBI. Kivlehan, a former Everett AquaSox, was batting .237 in 76 games at Tacoma with 15 homers and 46 RBI prior to joining the national team. He was a fourth-round pick in 2012.

The U.S. team continues the training phase of its schedule Tuesday against Cuba. The Pan Am Games are July 10-19 in Toronto.

Looking back It was eight years ago Tuesday — July 7, 2007 — that Ichiro Suzuki hit the first inside-the-park homer in All-Star history.

It occurred at AT&T Park in San Francisco with other former and future Mariners playing key roles.

The homer came off Chris Young, then with San Diego, in the fifth inning with a runner on first. The ball caromed away from center fielder Ken Griffey Jr., then with Cincinnati.

Suzuki was 3-for-3 as the American League won 5-4. Suzuki was selected the game’s Most Valuable Player.

Short hops Brad Miller leads all American League shortstops with eight home runs. …

Eight of Seth Smith’s 22 RBI have either tied the game or put the M’s in front.

Rookie third baseman Kris Bryant of the Chicago Cubs hits a single during the first inning of Sunday’s game against the Miami Marlins in Chicago.

Two rookies named All-Stars Yankee slugger Alex Rodriguez left off the American League squad

By Ronald Blum Associated Press

NEW YORK — Less than three months after making his major-league debut, Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant is an All-Star, one of two rookies selected along with Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Joc Pederson.

But there was no room on the roster for Alex Rodriguez, who’s enjoying a renaissance in his return to the New York Yankees following a season-long drug suspension.

Dodgers catcher Yasmani Grandal also was a first-time selection Monday for the July 14 game in Cincinnati. Grandal became the third All-Star this year who served a drug-related suspension following MLB’s investigation of the Biogenesis of America clinic. Seattle designated hitter Nelson Cruz and St. Louis shortstop Jhonny Peralta were elected by fans to start.

Albert Pujols of the Angels will start at first base for the AL in place of Detroit’s Miguel Cabrera, who injured a calf muscle Friday. Pittsburgh’s Andrew McCutchen will start in the NL outfield instead of Miami’s Giancarlo Stanton, who broke

his hand on June 26.

The 23-year-old Bryant made his big-league debut April 17 and began Monday with a .279 average, 12 homers and 49 RBI. “Obviously, I’ve been at some All-Star Games, but I don’t think anything can compare to making the major-league All-Star team,” he said. “It is kind of weird right now. We have a game in an hour, so I’m trying not to get too excited and whatnot, but obviously it’s pretty cool.”

Bryant said he’s open to participating in the Home Run Derby.

A record six Kansas City Royals were picked for the game, with the players electing pitcher Wade Davis, and AL manager Ned Yost of Kansas City selecting reliever Kelvin Herrera. They join Royals outfielders Lorenzo Cain and Alex Gordon, catcher Salvador Perez and shortstop Alcides Escobar, who were elected on Sunday as starters.

“The one thing that Kelvin did that a lot of these guys didn’t do was pitch in Game 7 of the World Series last year,” Yost said. “That was kind of the deciding factor for me.”

Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas is among the five players on the AL fan ballot for

the 34th and final roster spot.

Rodriguez is not.

Rodriguez, a three-time MVP who turns 40 on July 27, is hitting .284 with 16 home runs and 47 RBI for the Yankees after missing last year because of a drug suspension “We spent a lot of time debating his name,” said Yost, who preferred the versatility of an extra infielder or outfielder. “We felt we were covered in the DH. ... We wanted to get Alex Rodriguez on there and couldn’t.”

The league that wins the AllStar Game gets home-field advantage in the World Series.

Rodriguez passed Willie Mays for fourth on the career home run list and topped 3,000 hits.

But Prince Fielder of Texas, who was elected by the players, joined Cruz as the only DHs on the AL roster.

“As I’ve said all season, my number one goal is helping the Yankees win a championship.

I’m excited that we’re in a good position to get there,” Rodriguez said in a statement. “Of course, it would have been an honor to represent the American League next week, but I’ll have fun cheering on the guys who were put on the team and watching them protect home field.”

Sale’s strikeout streak comes to an end Associated Press

CHICAGO — Chris Sale’s bid for a record strikeout streak ended, but he pitched a six-hitter that led the Chicago White Sox past the Toronto Blue Jays 4-2 Monday night in the fastest major-league game in almost four years.

Sale (7-4) had struck out at least 10 batters in eight straight

starts, matching the major-league mark set by Pedro Martinez in 1999.

The White Sox ace fanned six in a complete game, outpitching former White Sox pitcher Mark Buehrle (9-5), who also went the distance.

“I’ll take this outcome over (the record) any day,” Sale said.

“I mean, it’s one of those things, it’s cool, it’s fine. But we won the

game, and I’m not gonna pout at all.”

There were no walks in a game that took just 1 hour, 54 minutes.

It was the fastest big-league game since Tampa Bay and Kansas City took 1:53 on Aug. 9, 2011.

All of Chicago’s runs were unearned. An error by shortstop Jose Reyes leading off the eighth helped the White Sox score three times and overcome a 2-1 deficit.

Mariners From Page C1

this time, too, after rallying from a three-run hole by scoring twice in the fourth inning before grabbing a 5-3 lead on Logan Morrison’s threerun homer with two out in the fifth.

The sixth and seventh innings, though, were a mess.

Iwakuma surrendered a leadoff homer to Yoenis Cespedes in the sixth that pulled Detroit to within 5-4. When Victor Martinez followed with a line-drive single, acting manager Trent Jewett went to the bullpen for Guaipe, who was recalled Saturday from Triple-A Tacoma and who had one previous big-league appearance.

That didn’t work.

J.D. Martinez lined Guaipe’s first pitch into center for a single.

Guaipe then loaded the bases by walking Alex Avila on four pitches.

The Tigers regained the lead on Nick Castellanos’ two-run single into center.

In came Rollins, who had pitched a scoreless inning Saturday at Oakland in his big-league debut after returning from an 80-game suspension for failing a drug test.

Rollins yielded an infield single to Anthony Gose that reloaded the bases. Kevin Romine then poked an RBI single into right, and Detroit led 7-5 and still had the bases loaded with no outs. Jose Iglesias’ soft grounder to third produced a force at second but also another run.

A double play ended the inning, but the Tigers came back for four more runs in the seventh. All four were charged to Rollins, who failed to get an out in the inning.

The Tigers finished the game with 19 hits, including four each by Castellanos and Victor Martinez.

Castellanos also had four RBI and had one of Detroit’s four homers.

Victor Martinez and J.D. Martinez hit back-to-back homers in the fourth, and Cespedes started the five-run sixth with an HR. All four came off Iwakuma.

This was Iwakuma’s first start since April 20. He suffered a strained right latissimus dorsi muscle in his back the following day in a routine day-after throwing workout.

He was plagued by the long ball prior to his injury, giving up five home runs in 161⁄3 innings. Now add four more in five-plus innings.

Detroit starter Alfredo Simon (8-5) wasn’t sharp either. He gave up five runs on eight hits in 52⁄3 innings while laboring through 109 pitches. It just didn’t matter.

Herald news services Jordan Spieth’s odds to win his third straight major golf championship improved dramatically without him doing a thing. The biggest obstacle in his historic quest may have been removed by an ankle injury suffered by the world’s No. 1-ranked player, Rory McIlroy.

McIlroy suffered ligament damage playing soccer with friends on Saturday. He withdrew from this week’s Scottish Open and is uncertain for next week’s British Open pending further scans on his ankle over the next two days.

Spieth, 21, is halfway through the Grand Slam. His victories in the Masters and U.S. Open set up a much anticipated No. 1-vs.-No. 2 showdown with McIlroy, the defending British Open champion.

But with McIlroy’s injury, Spieth takes over as the British Open betting favorite.

According to odds posted Monday on Bovada.Lv, Spieth was listed at 5/1 to win on the Old Course at St. Andrews. McIlroy was listed at 6/1. Previously McIlroy was a 4-to-1 favorite over Spieth (6/1) in many books.

McIlroy’s drop was not as dramatic as one might expect because he has not ruled himself out of the British Open. He has nine more days of rehabilitation. Ben Hogan in 1954 was the last British Open champion who did not play the following year.

If McIlroy does not play, Spieth could take over the top spot in the world rankings for the first time. He would need to finish seventh or better at this week’s John Deere Classic and then win the British Open. If that scenario plays out, Spieth would be the second-youngest player to reach No. 1 behind Tiger Woods, who first got to No. 1 at 21 years, 167 days on June 15, 1997.

McIlroy, 26, became the second-youngest player to reach No. 1 at 22 years, 312 days

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Rory McIlroy, shown competing at last month’s U.S. Open, is the defending British Open champion.

on March 4, 2012 after winning the Honda Classic.

McIlroy and Spieth have won the past four majors, marking the first time in nearly a century that two players in their 20s have shared four successive majors.

McIlroy went wire to wire in winning last year’s British Open at Royal Liverpool.

With his victory at the PGA Championship, he joined Woods, Jack Nicklaus and Bobby Jones as the only players in the last century with four majors at age 25 or younger.

Sergio Garcia, a runner-up to McIlroy at Royal Liverpool last year, posted on Twitter, “So sad to hear about Rory McIlroy injury on his ankle. We will all miss you TheOpen next week my friend. Fast and healthy recovery.”

Atoe From Page C1

“It was everything I could have dreamed of. Coming out of high school and going to a Division I school and then playing in the Pac12, that was one of my goals in life. So it was definitely great to accomplish that.”

Midway through his years at Washington, Atoe moved to Marysville to live with his older brother, Talisaea, a corrections officer in Lynnwood.

Atoe is one of 48 players on the national team roster, with former UW teammate and fellow offensive lineman Mike Criste also on the squad. The Americans are coached by Dan Hawkins, the former head coach at Colorado (2006-2010) and Boise State (2001-2005).

In fact, his offensive coordinator at Boise State was Chris Petersen, who then was hired as head coach of the Broncos when Hawkins went to Colorado. Petersen became Washington’s head coach in December of 2013.

Being with the national team is special, Hawkins said, because “you’re representing the United States.

So we want to be great ambassadors not only for our country, but also for the sport of football. ... These guys are going to meet people from other places and share their love of football, so it’s a multi-faceted experience.”

Though his players dream of reaching the NFL, “the thing I’ve tried to impress on them is that there’s a lot of cool countries and a lot of ways to play football,” Hawkins said. “We all say, ‘NFL, NFL, NFL,’ and I get that because I understand the game and the money. But there are several levels of arena leagues in this country. There’s the Canadian Football League.

There’s football in Japan.

There’s an arena league popping up in China. And there’s a guy in Australia that’s trying to start a pro league. So there’s a lot of football and a lot of football places.”

Though the Americans have only been practicing for a few weeks, “our chemistry is great,” Hawkins added. “These guys are all like-minded people who love football. They’re not getting paid (to be on the national team). They’re playing because they want

to keep their football careers alive, and now they get to represent their country in a first-class manner.”

The Americans open against Mexico at 4 p.m.

Thursday, and the rest of their four-game schedule — games every three days — is determined by wins and losses. The gold-medal game is at 4 p.m. on July 18.

Though the United States is a strong favorite, teams from elsewhere in the world are good and getting better, Hawkins said. In particular, Mexico and Japan should be very competitive.

“I think (the U.S. players) are going to be very surprised by the quality of some of the teams in this tournament,” he said. “But I just try to impress on these guys, let’s not compare ourselves to anybody else. Let’s just try to be great every day and try to get better every day.”

The Americans “just got together recently, but we’re really talented,” Atoe said.

“And I wanted to play football again, so I was excited to jump on board. ... It’s a bunch of great guys from all over the country, and it’s great knowing that I’m getting a chance to play for my country.”

Froome takes Tour lead; crash knocks out Cancellara

By Jerome Pugmire Associated Press

HUY, Belgium — British rider Chris Froome took the Tour de France leader’s yellow jersey after finishing second behind Spanish veteran Joacquim Rodriguez in Monday’s crash-marred third stage, as a second straight day of chaos caused around 20 riders to fall and several to quit.

The 2013 Tour winner Froome almost caught Rodriguez near the top of the day’s final climb, but the Spaniard held on for his second career Tour stage win five years after his first.

“I didn’t expect to be in yellow

this early on. Couldn’t be a better feeling,” said Froome, whose title defense ended when he crashed early in last year’s race.

He now leads German rider Tony Martin — who is not a threat for overall victory — by just one second and is 13 seconds ahead of American rider Tejay Van Garderen, who is shaping up as a dangerous outsider.

More importantly, Froome’s touted main rivals are lagging.

Froome is now 36 seconds clear of two-time champion Alberto Contador of Spain, 1:38 ahead of defending champion Vincenzo Nibali of Italy and 1:56 ahead of Nairo Quintana of Colombia, the

Tour runner-up two years ago.

Froome’s relief was understandable, given how heavy the crash behind him was. It happened with a little under 60 kilometers (37 miles) remaining, forcing the stage to be neutralized and then stopped altogether shortly after — for nearly 20 minutes.

With the race moving from neighboring Netherlands into Belgium, stage three was 159.5 kilometers (99 miles) from Antwerp to Huy. It featured four short and sharp climbs but the crash took place shortly before climb No. 1 when Frenchman William Bonnet’s wobbling bike

slid forward and down.

Racing at tremendous speed, it was impossible for those behind to either slow down or get out of the way, and one after the other they went up, down, or sideways in a bewildering flash of colors, bobbing helmets and spinning wheels.

The end result was a tangled mess of bikes, spewed in all directions. Some riders lay on their backs in the grass and others were curled up in agony on the hot tarmac.

The 34-year-old Cancellara was one of the last to go down, bouncing into the air with his bike attached to him, then landing with a thud in the grass.

He finished the stage but later pulled out of the race after hospital tests showed that he had fractured two vertebrae in his lower back.

“This is incredibly disappointing for me,” said Cancellara, who was riding in his last Tour. “The team was on a high with the yellow jersey, and we were very motivated to defend it.”

Bonnet was taken off on a stretcher with a brace around his neck. Dutch rider Tom Dumoulin — competing for the best young rider’s white jersey — Australian veteran Simon Gerrans, and Russian Dmitry Kozontchuk also withdrew from the stage and race.
