Such an election could increase the state’s clout in the national process, but Democrats say the cost isn’t worth it. By Jerry Cornfield Herald Writer

OLYMPIA — Washington intends to conduct a presidential primary in 2016, though it is not certain when.

Republican Secretary of State Kim Wyman wants to hold it in early March rather than late May, as now scheduled. Doing so could increase the state’s clout in the national nominating process of those seeking

to become the nation’s next leader, she said. But moving it up requires Wyman getting agreement from leaders of the Democratic and Republican parties. Republicans want to do it but Democrats are openly hostile to even holding the primary, saying it’s not worth the $11.5 million it will cost the

state. Washington canceled the primaries in 2012 and 2004, citing budget reasons. “The funds allotted for a primary election would be better spent on education, health care, higher education and jobs,” said Jamal Raad, spokesman for the state Democratic Party. See PRIMARY, Page A8

It’s already been a year Family and friends gather to remember Bradley Hogue

By Noah Haglund Herald Writer

By Kari Bray Herald Writer

LAKE STEVENS — He was everybody’s best friend, the boy with the sunny smile and an adventure always in mind. Family and friends remember Bradley Hogue as a ball of energy with a wild sense of humor and an endearing sweet side. He was fearless, compassionate, energetic and “the happiest person the world.” Tuesday evening, more than 60 people celebrated Bradley with just the kind of party he would have loved to crash: pizza and soda by the lake at Wyatt Park, friends laughing and

hugging, sunshine and a fresh breeze over the water. “He would have been right in the middle of everything, running circles around everyone,” said Deanna Hogue, Bradley’s mom. Tuesday marked one year since the 19-year-old died. Family and friends called it his “Angelversary.” Bradley was on his second day of a new landscaping job, working on a property in Duvall, when he fell into a rotating auger used to spread beauty bark. A state investigation completed in January found that employees routinely were asked to clear jams in heavy equipment while

it was running. The company, Pacific Topsoils, was fined $199,000 for 16 safety violations. They’re appealing the state’s findings. Bradley was one of 12 workers from Snohomish County who died on the job last year. People shared hugs and swapped stories about him Tuesday. They crouched in front of posters decorated with photos. Some showed a beaming Bradley piled with friends on a couch or boat while others showed him making goofy faces, always trying to win a smile or laugh. Friends think of him often. For many, it doesn’t feel like it’s been a

year; it doesn’t feel like he’s gone. Ashley Williams met Bradley in elementary school and graduated from Lake Stevens High School with him in 2013. She still can’t walk into Ace Hardware, where he worked before Pacific Topsoils. She recalled his quirky sense of humor and genuine kindness. “We all miss him so much,” she said. “We wish he was still here, and we love him.” Everyone who knew him considered him a friend, Williams said, and after high school he was the glue that held them together.

Jordan Lee and Courtney Jeffrey share a moment to remember along with many other friends and family at Davies Beach in Lake Stevens on Tuesday to mark the one-year anniversary of Bradley Hogue’s death. Hogue was crushed by an auger on his second day on a new landscaping job.

the buzz

EVERETT — Dr. Daniel Selove takes a methodical, thoughtful approach to his job. As Snohomish County’s newly appointed medical examiner, his work is a matter of life and death. Life, because he can provide answers to survivors who want to know how and why a family member or friend died. Death, for what the dead — his patients — can teach the living about avoiding disease, accidents and violence. “It’s so rewarding what I do, talking to a family and being able to answer their questions,” the soft-spoken Selove said. Selove started his job June 15. He oversees a staff of 13, including an associate medical examiner, death investigators, and administrative staff. The office is set to hire two more investigators soon. Formally, he refers to himself as a forensic pathologist. His duty, as he views it, is explaining death. The medical examiner assumes jurisdiction when the reason a person died is unnatural or unknown. The county morgue got involved in 886 of the 4,692 reported deaths in the county last year. That included the 43 people who died during the Oso mudslide, 34 traffic deaths and 15 homicides. Turmoil thrust Selove into the leadership role at an office that’s gone through two management shakeups in the past year. He has no prior managerial experience. Now, he oversees autopsies and pathology, death-scene investigations and administrative duties. “I had no illusions this would be a cakewalk,” he said. “I know there’s a risk of spreading myself thin.” Selove grew up in West Virginia, then finished high school and college in Virginia. He earned his medical degree from the University of Florida in Gainesville and moved to Everett in 1994, a couple of years after completing his residency. He still lives in the same Everett home he and his wife bought shortly after moving here.

Bradley From Page A1

Bradley’s dad, Alan Hogue, is proud to think of the lives his son touched. “I’m amazed by how many of the kids say he helped them get out of the house, got them to go places and do things together,” he said. “They’d be going their separate ways and he’d bring them together.” Tristan Vassar, 19, and Micale Shipman, 20, liked camping with Bradley. He made every trip fun, they said. “He brought out the best in all of us,” Vassar said. Bradley would want people to celebrate his life, not mourn his death, Shipman said. He lived for the fun of it and taught them to do the same. They’re learning from his death, too. “Keep your close ones close to you and don’t let your enemies get to you,” Vassar said. “Life can be short.” They’ve also learned to think twice about dangerous jobs. Bradley’s story shows the importance of workplace safety, Deanna Hogue said. It’s OK for employees to ask questions, seek training and “if it doesn’t feel right, say no,” she said. Family friend Shair Compton helped coordinate the Angelversary. Her son grew up with Bradley. It’s easy to see how a young adult could get caught in a bad situation at work, she said. Many don’t have the confidence to tell their boss “no” or they may not realize how risky a task is.

“When they get out of high school, they want to do so good,” she said. “They want to prove themselves.”

Bradley attended Everett Community College and planned to transfer to the University of

Washington. He liked math and was interested in mechanical engineering. He was the youngest of three outdoorsy brothers and always was looking for his next adventure. Jordan Lee has a tattoo on his chest, above his heart, with Bradley’s name and an image of two trucks in the woods. One is his, one is Bradley’s, Lee said. “The trees are the place we used to go wheeling, and there’s the river we used to go to,” he said. “He was my first friend when I moved to Lake Stevens. He was my best friend.” Deanna Hogue, affectionately called “Mama Hogue” by her sons’ friends, has been overwhelmed by the

community’s kindness. Last summer, people went to Bradley’s favorite places, took pictures and shared them online with memories and prayers. For Christmas, friends filled his stocking with cards and photographs. On Feb. 28, a group gathered in Mukilteo and sent glowing paper lanterns into the sky to mark what would have been his 20th birthday. They chose a phrase that’s been printed on bumper stickers and stamped on bracelets: “Only the good die young.” The bracelets are green, Bradley’s favorite color, and have his name in script on one side. They were given out Tuesday. After pizza and bracelets, the group gathered on the dock for a prayer, then decorated lanterns to send to the sky with messages of love. Nothing can prepare a parent for the first year without their son, and Tuesday “was a big day for me,” Deanna Hogue said. “The support from the community has been absolutely beautiful,” she said. “This has made my day.” Kari Bray: 425-339-3439; kbray@heraldnet.com.

Compromise reached over biology test Senate leaders agree to delay the graduation requirement; deal clears way to suspending Initiative 1351. By Jerry Cornfield Herald Writer

OLYMPIA — Republican and Democratic leaders in the state Senate announced Wednesday they have agreed to delay a requirement that high school students pass a biology exam to graduate. The deal ensures nearly 2,000 students in the Class of 2015 who failed the test will be able to get their diplomas. And it clears the way for senators to act Thursday to suspend a voter-approved initiative to reduce class sizes, an issue that stood as the final obstacle to lawmakers concluding the longest legislative session in state history. Suspending the measure, Initiative 1351, will require a

two-thirds majority for passage. For the past week, the minority Democrats have withheld the votes needed to reach that mark unless they could secure reforms of the high school assessment system to assist those 2,000 students. A new bill introduced Wednesday will waive the biology test requirement for graduating classes in 2015 and 2016. “This allows us to come in, do our work and be prepared to sine die at the appropriate time,” said Sen. Barbara Bailey, R-Oak Harbor, of the deal. “It’s time to be done.” Bailey said local school leaders told her they “wanted us to do this. This gives us time to look at the tests and the graduation requirements.”

Gov. Jay Inslee called the agreement “great news.” He praised Senate Democrats for insisting the biology test requirement be waived and lauded Senate Republican leaders for agreeing to a compromise. The Senate’s inaction on Initiative 1351 opened up a $2 billion hole in the two-year budget Inslee signed June 30. That is the projected cost to carry out the mandates in the initiative. There’s no money in the budget to pay for it because it’s been assumed the measure would be postponed for four years. “The agreement sets the stage for the Senate to address the delay in Initiative 1351 as passed by the House of Representatives,” reads a joint statement issued by Republican and Democratic leaders of the Senate. On Thursday, barring any breaches in the deal, the

Senate acts on bills suspending the initiative, delaying the biology assessment and approving the bond bill for the capital budget signed by the governor June 30. On Friday, the House also must approve the biology test bill. Members also must pass two bills related to the $16 billion transportation package. Then, if there are no further hiccups, the 2015 session could end Friday. That would be the 176th day — 103 days in regular session and the remainder spread through three extra sessions. Resolving the dispute on the high school testing has been the focus of Senate leaders since a meltdown in the chamber in the early hours of July 1. At that time Senate Republicans, who hold the majority, had tried to pass the bill suspending the initiative. They needed 33 votes but only got 27 as Democrats dug in with their demand

Working the fire line

for action on the assessments. This week, Senate leaders began negotiating in earnest. Senate Democrats accepted a GOP offer about 8 p.m. Tuesday, according to a spokesman for the Democratic caucus. It differed in two significant ways from what Republicans brought to them at 3 a.m. July 1. First, it delayed the biology assessment for two years rather than one. And second, it did not change the requirement that students must pass math and English assessments to graduate starting in 2019. Senate Republicans had wanted to make it effective for the class of 2018. Senators are expected on the floor at 2 p.m. Thursday. The House, which also must pass the testing reform bill, is expected in on Friday. Jerry Cornfield: 360-352-8623; jcornfield@heraldnet.com

ELECTION 2015 | Lakewood School Board

High school tops priorities By Kari Bray Herald Writer

Above: A brush fire burns near Wood Creek in unincorporated Everett on Wednesday afternoon.

Crews were attempting to cut their way through brush to gain access to the fire. Right: Wildfire firefighters from Snohomish County survey the job ahead.

LAKEWOOD — Two women competing for a seat on the Lakewood School Board see finishing the community’s new high school as their top priority and preserving a small-town atmosphere in a fast-growing area as their biggest challenge. The Lakewood School District, located west of I-5 between Smokey Point and Lake Goodwin, serves about 2,300 students from Marysville, Arlington, Stanwood and rural Snohomish County. Candidates Jahna Smith and Amy Williams agree that schools are the heart of the community. Smith, 47, is hoping to hang on to the position she took over two months ago. She was appointed to the school board in May after David Kiefer stepped down. Smith has lived in Stanwood for 13 years and her youngest son just graduated from Lakewood High School. She’s a network account manager for the health insurance company Aetna Inc. A longtime volunteer with the school district, she said it was a natural transition to join the board. She has coordinated fundraisers for the sports booster club, planned senior graduation events and campaigned for the $66.8 million bond that’s paying for a new Lakewood High School. Smith said she wants to see the high school project through, from passing the bond to opening the doors. It’s the biggest thing on the board’s agenda now, and her project management and people skills could be useful, she said. She plans to support new administrators, gather fresh ideas and work to keep a tight-knit community as the area grows. Hundreds of new apartments, a senior living center and several new businesses are set to open soon near Lakewood Crossing. Meanwhile, more rural areas farther from the interstate are unlikely to grow much more See LAKEWOOD, Page A4

due to water restrictions around the Seven Lakes area. That means there could be a spurt of growth, but stagnant or declining enrollment in the long run. “I have just a real passion for our small community, and with the growth that’s expected I really want to focus on keeping those small-town values,” Smith said. Williams, 46, was a student in the district from kindergarten through high school and now has four children who attend Lakewood schools, ages 9, 12, 14 and 17. She works as an office manager and is partowner of Country Living Productions in Stanwood. She’s lived in Arlington for 12 years and volunteers at

Lakewood schools, mostly in the classroom with her kids but also at parent-teacher association functions or as a chaperone on field trips. Williams said she has wanted to be on the school board for years and feels she finally has the time to dedicate to the position. Her priority is keeping students in the district and helping schools manage the area’s growth. The new high school is an important piece of that. She also wants to focus on hiring and keeping good teachers and administrators. She’d like to see higher test scores and add more extracurricular activities to keep students in the district. Some choose to transfer to larger schools in Arlington or Marysville so

smoother waters under clearer skies. She said she’s not spoken with Kelley nor does his name come up in office conversations unless they involve an inquiring reporter. In the past two months, employees in the Auditor’s Office have issued hundreds of audits of cities, counties, school districts and other appendages of local government. There’s also been an intermittent whistleblower probe and a performance audit or two. On Tuesday, the executive team huddled for six hours to do what Jutte described as operational planning. The effort that started after Kelley’s election in 2012 amounts to

mapping a course for the agency to follow in the coming two to four years. “In 18 months there is going to be a new person, I know that. It doesn’t mean they can’t alter it,” she said. “This is a continuation of what we were doing before the cloud appeared. I think it is an indication that we are moving forward.” She’s commanded with steady hand, unbending humility and pretty much without a compass. You don’t need one when you’ve worked at the place 30 years and tackled tasks in about every division of the agency. “I’m not an unknown,” she said. “I think that helps make this transition out from under the cloud.” Since 1985, she’s had

three elected bosses, all Democrats. Now she’s the boss albeit acting and unelected. She is the first woman and first certified public accountant to occupy the auditor’s chair. She’ll be in it until Kelley — whose tribulations will henceforth be known as “The Cloud” — returns or, more likely, a successor is elected in November 2016. That won’t be Jutte. She’s not running, though some want her to. She intended to retire until the accumulation of political cumulus threatened the environs she loved. She changed her plans. “On a day-to-day basis, it is not an issue,” she said. “We are doing audits. That’s who we are. We are moving on.” That’s what she wants people under the Capitol dome and throughout the state to notice.

Lakewood School Board A two-year term on the Lakewood School Board. The office is nonpartisan and pays $50 per meeting, training or other board-related business, and no more than $4,800 per year.

Smith and Williams are expected to advance to the November general election. The Aug. 4 primary is to narrow the number of candidates to two. There were three contenders; one has dropped out. Karl Fitterer’s name still appears on the ballot. He filed to run but changed his mind because he felt voters had a good choice with either Smith or Williams. Four of the five Lakewood School Board seats are up for election this year. None of the other positions are contested. Catherine “Sandy” Gotts, Gregory Jensen and Larry Bean all are incumbents running unopposed.

Bibb worked for nearly 83 years, star ting at age 9 when he sold Liberty Magaz i n e to h e l p s u p p o r t h i s struggling parents. He actually retired three times. Retiring first from the cour troom in 1992, he returned to practice law in Everett, becoming Of Council with D e n o M i l l i k a n L aw F i r m , PLLC. The former judge applied his skills as a member of JAMS (the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc.) and the not-for-profit American Arbitration Association, as a mediation and arbitration lawyer who reviewed disputes and facilitated resolution of ethical problems until retiring the second time in about 2010.

Army troop cuts could grow Associated Press WASHINGTON — In the midst of a war against the Islamic State that the Obama administration says will last many years, the Army is moving ahead with big troop cuts. And they could grow even larger unless Congress and the White House find a way to stop further across-the-board spending reductions this fall. Army leaders were notifying members of Congress on Wednesday with details of how they intend to reduce the active-duty force from 490,000 soldiers to 450,000 within two years. The size of the reduction was announced months ago, but congressional delegations

have been waiting for word on how the cuts would be distributed and timed; troop reductions can inflict significant economic pain on communities reliant on military base populations. If a new round of automatic spending cuts, known as sequestration, goes ahead, the Army said it will have to reduce even further, to 420,000 soldiers. Gen. Ray Odierno, the Army chief of staff, has said he can accept the planned reduction of 40,000 soldiers over the next two years, which the Army plans to implement by trimming the size of numerous units. The biggest cuts would be to an infantry unit

at Fort Benning, Georgia, and an airborne infantry unit at Fort Richardson in Alaska. Each would shrink from about 4,000 soldiers to about 1,050, defense officials said Wednesday. Those details were first reported Tuesday by USA Today. The full plan for specific cuts is expected to be made public by the Army on Thursday. In Odierno’s view, being forced to shrink the Army is not the hardest part of coping with years-long budget wrangling between Congress and the White House. Even more difficult, he says, is the uncertainty for military planners and the nation’s soldiers. “The thing I worry about is

it has put a lot of turbulence in the Army and brought a lot of angst to our soldiers,” he said May 28. As he nears the end of his tenure as Army chief, Odierno said the only thing that could push the service off its course toward modernization is more budget uncertainty. “The unpredictability is killing us,” he said. Defense Secretary Ash Carter agrees. “We’ve been going one year at a time budgetarily now for several years straight, and it’s extremely disruptive to the operations of the department,” Carter told the Senate Armed Services Committee on Tuesday. “It is managerially inefficient, because we’re in this herky-jerky process.”

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama downplayed chances for an Iran nuclear deal in a closed-door meeting with Senate Democrats, participants said Wednesday, while asking them to withhold judgment until any deal is complete. Obama also insisted that he won’t sign a weak deal, a message that won praise from senators who joined the president for wine and appetizers in the White House State Dining Room Tuesday evening. “He was urging that we wait to see the actual terms of an agreement if there is one, and to have confidence that he would not sign a deal he viewed as flawed,” said Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del.

Chef backs out of Trump deal Celebrity chef Jose Andres is backing out of plans to open a flagship restaurant in Donald Trump’s new hotel under construction in Washington. Andres issued a statement Wednesday citing Trump’s statements “disparaging immigrants” in his decision to cancel restaurant plans at the Trump International Hotel. Andres is a Spanish immigrant and recently became a U.S. citizen. Real estate mogul and Republican presidential candidate Trump said in a speech June 16 that some Mexican immigrants bring drugs and crime to the U.S., and some are rapists.

United Airlines temporarily grounded flights across the country for part of Wednesday after experiencing computer problems, causing more than 800 delays. A United spokeswoman confirmed that the glitch was caused by an internal technology issue and not an outside threat. A spokeswoman said that a router problem reduced “network connectivity” for several software applications. “We fixed the router issue, which is enabling us to restore normal functions,” she said around midday.

Pope Francis waves from the popemobile as he rides from El Alto to La Paz, Bolivia, on Wednesday.

championing Bolivia’s 36 indigenous groups and enshrined their rights in the Constitution, and under his leadership Bolivia’s economy has grown thanks to booming prices for its natural gas. But Morales has roiled the local church by taking a series of anti-clerical initiatives, including the new Constitution that made the overwhelmingly Catholic nation a secular country. In his speech, Francis recalled the Catholic faith took “deep root” in Bolivia centuries ago “and has continued to shed its light upon society, contributing to the development of the nation and shaping its culture.” “The voice of the bishops, which must be prophetic, speaks to society in the name of the church, our mother, from her preferential, evangelical option for the poor,” he said. Morales, for his part, recalled how the Catholic Church in the past was on the side of the oppressors of Bolivia’s people, three-quarters of whom are of indigenous origin. But Morales said things are different with this pope and the Bolivian people are greeting Francis as someone who is “helping in the liberation of our people.”

“He who betrays a poor person, betrays Pope Francis,” Morales said. Francis and Morales have met on several occasions, most recently in October when the president, a former coca farmer, participated in a Vatican summit of grassroots groups of indigenous and advocates for the poor who have been championed by Francis. Their shared views on caring for society’s poorest, and the need for wealthy countries to drastically change course to address climate change, have bumped up against Morales’ clashes with the local clergy. As soon as Morales took office in 2006, for example, the Bible and cross were removed from the presidential palace. A new Constitution in 2009 made the overwhelmingly Catholic nation a secular state and Andean religious rituals replaced Catholic rites at official state ceremonies. In recent weeks, various senior officials have engaged in a heated war of words with a Spanish priest who has demanded that the Morales administration devote more funds to public health. “There are some challenging

issues in terms of Evo Morales taking on a quite combative role against the church, which he sees as a challenge to his authority,” said Clare Dixon, Latin American regional director for CAFOD, the English Catholic aid agency. “The church is also questioning some decisions made about development in the country.” Francis was expected to raise environmental concerns during his Bolivian sojourn, just as he did in Ecuador. Other highlights of the trip include his visit to the notoriously violent Palmasola prison, where a battle among inmate gangs in 2013 left 30 people dead. As in many Latin American prisons, inmates largely control the inside of Palmasola, which teems with some 3,500 prisoners. Morales, an Aymara Indian known for his anti-imperialist and socialist stands, considers the Catholic Church a powerful vestige of the colonial-era servitude from which the indigenous are still trying to recover. The government made it obligatory to teach other religions in schools alongside Catholicism, the faith of nearly four in five Bolivians.

Norway cops fired guns twice last year Only two shots were actually fired during the entire year, and no one was wounded by either.

Obama downplays chances for Iran deal

New York: United grounded

Associated Press LA PAZ, Bolivia — Pope Francis arrived in Bolivia on Wednesday on the second leg of his South American tour and immediately insisted that the Catholic Church continue to play an important role in society amid efforts by the government of President Evo Morales to curb its influence. Francis landed at the La Paz airport from Quito, Ecuador, and was greeted on the tarmac by Morales, children from some of Bolivia’s 36 different native peoples, and military and traditional flute bands that played the Bolivian and Holy See anthems. Morales hugged the pope and hung a pouch around his neck of woven of alpaca fiber with indigenous trimmings. It is of the type commonly used to hold coca leaves, which are chewed by people in the Andes to alleviate altitude sickness. It wasn’t known if Francis chewed any leaves, though he was served mate tea made with coca leaves, chamomile and anise on the plane. La Paz stands at about 13,120 feet above sea level, and the Vatican decided to keep the pope’s stay to just four hours to limit any problems for the 78-year-old pontiff, who has only one full lung. Francis though seemed in fine form, bundled against the cold and wind by a white shawl that he donned for his popemobile ride into town past the thousands of people who came to greet him, waving handkerchiefs and singing songs of welcome. At an airport welcome ceremony with Morales by his side, Francis praised Bolivia for taking “important steps” to include the poor and marginalized in the political and economic life of the country, South America’s poorest. Morales came to power

ACROSS THE U.S.

2014, Norwegian police threatened to use their weapons 42 times. However, only two shots were actually fired during the entire year, and no one was wounded by either. The report also featured historical data showing that the number of times police officers had drawn their weapons was at its lowest in at least 12 years. And for the 10th time in 12 years, not a single person was killed by police gunfire in Norway in 2014. To American readers, these numbers might sound shocking. Consider this: Even in 2011, when 77 people, mostly

children, were killed by rightwing terrorist Anders Behring Breivik, police fired their guns only once and injured one person (Breivik himself surrendered to armed police without police firing a shot). There’s a simple reason for the lack of police shootings. While there are many hunters in the country and gun ownership is relatively common, Norway is one of a handful of European nations where police officers don’t usually carry guns. Breivik’s rampage at a children’s summer camp led some to question whether this was

a good move (among the first to die was an unarmed police officer working security at the camp). The government recently hinted that it may consider arming more police officers. Things are, of course, very different in the United States. While the country is far larger than Norway (318 million vs. 5 million) and nationwide figures are rarely announced, police shootings are clearly disproportionately common: By The Washington Post’s count, more than 400 people have been shot and killed by police already this year.

Walt Disney Co. won a 30-year extension of a moratorium on ticket taxes in suburban Anaheim in exchange for a commitment to invest $1 billion in its two parks there. The City Council voted 3-2 Wednesday to grant the company an exemption from any future entertainment tax that might be levied on tickets to the Disneyland Resort, home to the namesake theme park and California Adventure. Construction will begin in 2017 on new attractions, a parking garage and road improvements to improve local traffic flow.

Latinos are now No. 1 The long-expected moment when Latinos surpassed whites as California’s largest racial or ethnic group has come and gone. Hispanic Californians began to narrowly outnumber white Californians sometime in the first half of 2014, according to Census Bureau figures released in late June. The state had some 14.99 million Latinos compared with about 14.92 million non-Hispanic whites as of July 1, 2014, the most recent data available. Together, the two groups make up nearly 80 percent of the state’s population.

Water district sues Selleck A water district has sued Tom Selleck, claiming the star of the crime shows “Magnum, P.I.” and “Blue Bloods” stole truckloads of water from a public hydrant and took it to his ranch. The Calleguas Municipal Water District in Ventura County claims a tanker truck filled up at a hydrant more than a dozen times and hauled water to a 60-acre ranch owned by Selleck in Westlake Village. Selleck reportedly grows avocados at the ranch. The district said it spent nearly $22,000 to hire a private investigator to document the alleged thefts that date back two years.

AROUND THE WORLD Ireland: Abortion support Two-thirds of the Irish people support the decriminalization of abortion in the country, according to a survey commissioned by Amnesty International. About 67 percent of 1,000 people interviewed by telephone by Irish-based RED C Research and Marketing for Amnesty said the government should decriminalize abortion, while 25 percent disagreed. Some 81 percent favored “significantly widening the grounds for access to legal abortions in Ireland,” Amnesty said. Irish law only allows abortion if a woman’s life is at risk.

Microsoft to cut 7,800 jobs Associated Press NEW YORK — Microsoft will cut 7,800 jobs and take a $7.6 billion impairment charge as it attempts to revive its flagging phone hardware business. The new cuts come on top of the 18,000 jobs that were trimmed last year and just over a year after the company made an aggressive push into the smartphone market. The company paid $7.3 billion for Nokia’s phone business in April 2014, seeking to push rapidly into the smartphone sphere as its traditional software business slowed. Microsoft ultimately wanted to build an ecosystem that created customers that were

loyal to a slew of its products, much as Apple and Google have done so successfully. But Microsoft’s Windows Phone system has gained little traction against Apple’s iPhone and Google’s Android system. Now the company says it will write down more than the entire cost of buying Nokia in the fourth quarter and also take a $750 million to $850 million restructuring charge. “We are moving from a strategy to grow a standalone phone business to a strategy to grow and create a vibrant Windows ecosystem including our first-party device family,” CEO Satya Nadella said. The Nokia deal was made under Nadella’s predecessor Steve

Ballmer, who wanted Microsoft to make its own smartphones and tablets. But Nadella has been moving away from this strategy in order to focus on the company’s core software business and related services. Last year, he announced a broad restructuring including cutting the 18,000 jobs, the biggest round of layoffs in the company’s history. About half of those, 12,500, were jobs associated with the Nokia unit. He has also warned employees of the need to “make some tough choices in areas where things are not working.” Other recent moves include handing off some its digital advertising business to AOL and

selling its street-image mapping operation to Uber. FBR analyst Daniel Ives said the cuts will be painful, but are necessary. “We believe Nadella’s proactive approach at cleaning up the Nokia acquisition is a positive ‘tipping of the hand’ around Microsoft’s future focus on software (versus hardware) as the company heads into a pivotal year, with Windows 10 front and center as a major product catalyst,” Ives said. Microsoft’s latest operating system, Windows 10, is scheduled to be released July 29. Microsoft said it will give more details when it reports fourthquarter earnings July 21.

Encryption worries U.S. officials They say technology built into smartphones makes it harder for them to intercept messages from criminal suspects.

Deputy Attorney General Sally Quillian Yates, joined by FBI Director James Comey, testifies during the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing in Washington on Wednesday.

sought to tamp down tension Wednesday. He told senators that he believed technology companies were fundamentally on the same page as law enforcement, adding, “I am not here to fight a war.” “Encryption is a great thing. It keeps us all safe. It protects innovation,” Comey said. “It protects my children. It protects my health care. It is a great thing.” But he said criminals were using encryption to create a safe zone from law enforcement, with the Islamic State exploiting social media to recruit sympathizers and directing them to encrypted platforms. “Our job is to look at a haystack the size of this country for needles that are increasingly invisible to us because of encryption,” he said. Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates said the Justice Department was not at the moment seeking

legislation to address the issue and was instead hoping to work cooperatively with the technology companies. She expressed concern about end-to-end encryption in which only the user can access the communication. She said the department believed that individual companies — not the government — should retain access to a key to unlock encrypted data that can be used in response to a court order. “The current public debate about how to strike the careful balance between privacy rights and public safety has at times been a challenging and highly charged discussion,” Yates said. Personal privacy and Internet security, she said, “are not absolute. And they have to be balanced against the risks we face from creating warrant-proof zones of communication.” Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., echoed Comey’s concerns about

encryption, saying it could enable a “respite from any kind with law enforcement.” But others reacted more warily. Sen. Al Franken pointed out that the recent breach of Office of Personnel Management information involved unencrypted data and asked whether there was a “danger, if we do this wrong, of there also being a national security risk?” And Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy, the panel’s senior Democrat, said he wasn’t convinced how much it would help to facilitate law enforcement’s access to encrypted material. “Strong encryption would still be available from foreign providers,” Leahy said. “Some say that any competent Internet user would be able to download strong encryption technology, or install an app allowing encrypted communications — regardless of restrictions on American businesses.”

Albertsons plans public stock offering Albertsons Cos., the nation’s second-largest grocery store operator whose holdings include the Vons and Safeway chains, on Wednesday disclosed plans for a public stock offering. Albertsons, based in Boise, Idaho, is privately owned by an investor group led by Cerberus Capital Management, which bought Albertsons in 2013 and added the Safeway and Vons chains early this year. In a preliminary prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Albertsons said it planned to raise $100 million, although that amount could grow as the company gets closer to the sale.

Feds to require locomotive cameras The Obama administration said it’s drafting rules to require that railroads install video cameras inside locomotive cabs to record the actions of engineers. The Federal Railroad Administration also said that other steps aimed at reducing human error are in the works. The cameras have been opposed by labor unions. Also, the National Transportation Safety Board has sent a letter recommending Amtrak install video cameras in all its locomotive cabs. Investigators are struggling to determine why an Amtrak train accelerated to twice the speed limit moments before derailing in Philadelphia in May. Their task has been complicated because the engineer said he has no memory of events prior to the crash.

Associated Press WASHINGTON — Federal law enforcement officials warned Wednesday that data encryption is making it harder to hunt for pedophiles and terror suspects, telling senators that consumers’ right to privacy is not absolute and must be weighed against public-safety interests. The testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee marked the latest front in a high-stakes dispute between the Obama administration and some of the world’s most influential tech companies, placing squarely before Congress an ongoing discussion that has shown no signs of an easy resolution. Senators, too, offered divided opinions. FBI and Justice Department officials have repeatedly asserted that encryption technology built into smartphones makes it harder for them to monitor and intercept messages from criminal suspects, such as Islamic State sympathizers who communicate online and child predators who conceal pornographic images. They say it is imperative that they be able, with a warrant, to access encrypted data while they’re investigating a particular crime. But they face fierce opposition from Silicon Valley companies, who say encryption safeguards their customers’ privacy rights and protects them from hackers, corporate spies and other breaches. The companies in recent months have written to the Obama administration and used public speeches to press their case for strong encryption. FBI Director James Comey, who has argued his case repeatedly over the last year before think tanks and in other settings,

Consumer borrowing hits a record high U.S. consumer borrowing climbed to a record high in May, propelled by a surge in auto and student loans. The Federal Reserve said consumer borrowing increased $16.1 billion after a gain of $21.4 billion in April, which was the strongest monthly increase since July 2014. The gains pushed total borrowing to a fresh record of $3.4 trillion. In May, borrowing in the category that includes autos and student loans rose by $14.5 billion. Borrowing in the category that covers credit cards rose by $1.6 billion after an increase of $8.5 billion in April.

Treasury sticks with $10 bill plan Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew is sticking with his plan to replace Alexander Hamilton on the $10 bill with a woman. Lew announced last month that as part of a redesign of the $10 note, he hoped to put a woman on the bill. The department called for the public to weigh in on who should be honored. He said he expects a final decision soon. “I think we have waited long enough,” Lew said Wednesday. Critics of the decision complained that Hamilton, the nation’s first Treasury secretary, should be left on the $10 bill. Instead, they argued, a woman should be featured on the $20 bill in place of Andrew Jackson, who many historians view less favorably. From Herald news services

away from his job as a Bothell police sergeant to perform that role. A nationally recognized expert in blood spatter, Christman had worked for 10 years as a death investigator in the Snohomish County Medical Examiner’s Office before becoming a cop. His time there overlapped with Selove’s.

A majority of the County Council disagreed with Lovick’s approach and nearly cut Christman’s job from the 2015 budget. Instead, they gave Christman a few months to come up with a restructuring plan. At the end of April, a majority of the council rejected proposals that would have kept Christman in charge, either as the office’s sole director or sharing responsibility with the medical examiner. Council members pointed to state law and county code, which say the office must be run by a doctor certified in forensic pathology. They also said having two leaders would create friction. That left Christman without a job. He’s set to leave next week. Some death investigators who worked under him, as well their union, praised his efforts to turn things around in the workplace. Selove agrees with them.

“We would’ve done a better job if Dan was here, but we’re going to move on,” he said, pledging to keep staff morale a priority. He’s also determined to work with the Snohomish Health District and schools to bring attention to preventable accidents and disease. The heroin epidemic and recent rise in teen suicides are trends that deserve more attention. Selove describes himself as an optimist. In most professions, that would be unremarkable. But in his line of work, all cases involve the sad fact of death. “That’s not the end of the case,” he said. “The end of the case is helping the family by providing answers for them and hopefully helping them with their grief.” He considers that a privilege.

Democratic and Republican parties, plus the majority and minority leaders in the House and Senate. That adds up to four Democrats and four Republicans. Wyman, a Republican, will serve as chairwoman, giving the GOP a 5-4 advantage on the panel. However, state law requires that any date change be approved by a two-thirds majority of the committee. That means she’ll need the vote of at least one Democrat. The committee has until Oct. 1 to act. Wyman declined to say which Democrat she thought might be persuaded to break with their party and side with hers. It won’t be easy. Presidential primaries are recent political phenomena in Washington — the first was in 1992 — while there have been caucuses pretty much since statehood.

The state Democratic Party doles out all its delegates via caucuses and ignores the results of the primary. The Republican Party allots about half based on the primary and half from caucuses, hence its support of an earlier date. Wyman hopes Democratic leaders will recognize the value of making it worthwhile for voters even if it isn’t worthwhile for their party. She also touts as a benefit that once results are in, each party will get a list of the names of all those who cast ballots for one of their candidates. Under the rules of a presidential primary, voters must pick a party and then vote for one of its candidates. And state law assures those voter rolls are provided to the two parties. “That is very rich political data for both political parties,” Wyman said. An

earlier election date means they can get that information sooner. Republican leaders embrace the idea. They hope with delegates at stake and an earlier primary, some of the nearly 20 presidential candidates will find it necessary to campaign in Washington next year. Leave it in May and it might be of little value for candidates, they said. Democrats look forward to receipt of the voter list but think May is early enough. “I understand there is some interest on the other side of the aisle to list-build on the government’s dime and cash in on the combative Republican primary race, but I don’t think that’s a very good reason to hold a primary, let alone move one up on the calendar,” Raad said.

Court win for small businesses small businesses to obtain more affordable coverage for employees than would usually be available on their own. The judge, who reviews cases for the state Office of the Insurance Commissioner, determined the state agency was wrong to deny the rates for several of these plans. Earlier, Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler had disallowed the 2014 rate schedules for many of these plans, determining that the plans were charging different rates for employees among the plans’ employers, “cherry-picking” employers with younger, healthier workers and forcing employers with older workers with more potential health problems into the higher-premium coverage market. If they were cherry-picking, said Jonathan Hensley of Capital Benefit Services, which manages the health plans for the Master Builders

and Northwest Marine Trade, among others, they were doing it blind-folded, “standing backward on the ladder and reaching over our shoulder.” Hensley said it wouldn’t have been practical or legal to discriminate and charge different rates based on individual employees and assumptions on the cost of their coverage. And the plans’ high renewal rate among businesses also supports their contention that the rates are fair. Different rates among separate employers were based on individual businesses. The law judge agreed, ruling that there were no state or federal regulations that supported the state agency’s denial of the rates. Kreidler, in a Seattle Times story, said that while he disagreed with the ruling he would abide by it. The association health plans for 2014

slavery being one of those rights as far as the South was concerned. The Confederate flag is not a symbol of slavery. It was a battle flag for hundreds of thousands of Americans who believed, and in many cases died, in the states’ rights issue. Are we going to chisel the flag off their grave stones? Pretend the Civil War never happened? History cannot, and should not be altered! If people want to make a big deal out of something, what about the state of Washington. We are named after a slave owner for God’s sake! His likeness is on our state flag. Oh, no! Maybe we should rename our state after Chief Sealth. Guess not, a whole other issue there. There are skeletons in everyone’s closet. Our country is no different.

will be reviewed again for approval, based on the judge’s ruling. At the same time, the plans for 2015, approval of which had been on hold during the court case, also are expected to be reviewed. And plans for 2016 will be submitted for approval later this year. During the lawsuit no employees went without health care coverage, but some employers uncertain about the outcome did seek out coverage elsewhere, Hensley said. We can’t fault Kreidler for taking a position he believed was in the interest of employees who might have been disseminated against, but we agree with the judge who recommended a legislative remedy if Kreidler sees a problem. The decision removes a lot of uncertainty for the small businesses and their employees who depend on the association health plans.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■POLITICS

Respectful debate extinct It seems that respectful political discourse is virtually extinct. That’s sad because one of the cornerstones of our great American experiment was the ability to debate topics without fear for your life. Those days are gone. Yes, in days past sometimes the debate got out of control. Today, name the issue and if you are on the “wrong” side you are subjected to ridicule, public humiliation and character assassination and in some cases personal risk. If you don’t think this is the case then consider these topics and bring them up with someone who does not share your position. Marriage definitions, abortion, religious freedom, equal taxation, race relations. The list goes on and on. Find yourself on the politically incorrect side of these issues and you will be labeled, stereotyped and worse. Perhaps the saddest part of this: We will never resolve some fundamental issues in our society if we cannot deal with the facts. Gun control is a great example of this. There are very real facts around guns, gun violence and gun safety, but we will continue to get stuck in the mud and employ useless and politically correct “solutions” that will do absolutely nothing to solve the underlying issue. This points to a certain level of maturity in this

Hearing aids should be Medicare benefit By Brendan Williams

“T

he ACA is here to stay” — and so are profound health care inequities, unless corrected. Public support for the Affordable Care Act is weakest among the elderly, and not without good reason: Those 65 and older are already covered by Medicare, and many are afraid the ACA might diminish that safety net. The most recent Kaiser Family Foundation tracking poll showed only 36 percent of this demographic felt positively about the ACA. There is a way to change this paradigm. Hearing loss is a disability that most commonly afflicts those who are elderly. According to federal government data, while 14 percent of those aged 45-54 have hearing loss, the loss is considered disabling for just 2 percent of that age demographic. The percentage of

those for whom hearing loss is disabling grows to 8.5 percent for those aged 55-64. After that the progression is quick. A quarter of those aged 65-74 have disabling hearing loss, and over half of those over 75. To make this less abstract, based upon 2010 census data, 386,111 Washingtonians 45 and older would have had disabling hearing loss — with more than three-quarters concentrated in the Medicare age demographic. A large number of those who could benefit from hearing aids have never used them: Only 16 percent of adults up to the age of 69, and just 30 percent of those over 70. The financial cost is simply out of reach for too many. Insurers refuse to cover hearing aids, as does Medicare. And yet the cognitive costs of a hearing disability are plain to see for all of us who have had a loved one whose inability to hear seems to accelerate other

effects of aging. For my late grandmother it just seemed to be another way in which she became unplugged from the world around her. It became very hard to tell what she couldn’t understand and what she simply couldn’t hear. Surely the ability to hear is essential to whole body health. And yet the ACA does not include hearing among the 10 “essential health benefits” that comprise acceptable health insurance. In desperation, Americans resort to quack devices — many advertised in magazines or senior publications — that are just sound amplifiers. They tend to be little more paired to their wearer than the ear trumpets featured, often to comical effect, in movies about the 1800s. The purchase of such devices occurs without an audiologist’s clinical involvement. Because even hearing exams are not covered by most insurance, and not at all by Medicare, it

IN OUR VIEW | Insurance plan ruling

Compared with the recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling that affirmed the national insurance exchange for the federal Affordable Care Act, a decision earlier this month by a Washington state administrative law judge regarding employee health insurance affects far fewer people. But the decision is no less significant for those people or the small businesses that employ them. The case involved the health insurance polices for about 60,000 employees, spouses and children for some 2,500 small companies that provide insurance for employees through what are called Qualified Association Health Plans. Locally, the plans provide insurance coverage for businesses affiliated with the Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties and the Northwest Marine Trade Association. The association health plans allow

is as if someone with a vision problem bypassed an eye exam and simply guessed their optical prescription. In March, Congresswoman Debbie Dingell, D-Michigan, introduced the Medicare Hearing Aid Coverage Act of 2015, to allow coverage for hearing aids and examinations for them. The bill faces an uphill climb. Coverage of hearing aids would, for example, reduce the vast profits of Medicare Advantage insurers. Yet, such a benefit must begin somewhere, and if it not be covered through Medicare the chances are nil of politicians ever compelling it through the private insurance market. In our state, such a change would benefit over 300,000 Washingtonians. It seems as much a matter of civil rights as health care.

Lessons remain from Greatest Generation

n April 24, 1944, 2nd Lt. John R. Pedevillano was flying in a B-17 over Nazi territory when the fighters escorting his formation were drawn away in combat, leaving the bombers defenseless against air and ground fire for an hour. Sixteen U.S. planes went down, and Pedevillano — the DANA MILBANK youngest B-17 bombardier in the 306th Bomb Group — was hit. But he and his crew managed to keep flying, going down behind enemy lines only after dropping their payload on Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany. Pedevillano remained a Nazi prisoner of war for a year before he was liberated by Gen. George S. Patton’s forces, and the U.S. Army Air Forces bombardier went on to a quiet career with Westinghouse, eventually retiring in College Park, Maryland. His heroics might have gone unheralded like those of thousands of others of his generation had they not come to the attention of Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, chairman of the Armed Services Committee and himself a former prisoner of war in Vietnam. In a ceremony Tuesday, McCain presented Pedevillano, almost 93, with a Presidential Unit Citation to honor, 71 years later, his unsung valor. Pedevillano, now walking with a cane for the blind, wept as he listened to the citation. As is typical of heroes of his generation, he found the attention on him entirely misplaced. “There were 16 million other people in the service,” he told me through his tears. “They’d done just as much as I did and deserved everything I’ve gotten.” Pedevillano, receiving the gratitude of the nation, returned the thanks. “I just can’t thank this country enough for what they’ve done for me and for all of us,” he said. It’s heartwarming that, as the Greatest Generation departs, heroes such as Pedevillano are getting recognition they didn’t get earlier, when such sacrifice was common. It’s also good for those of us who haven’t been called, because their sense of humble service and of national unity seems to elude us in public affairs. This is the first Congress in more than 60 years without a World War II vet. It’s no accident that the rise of the Greatest Generation in politics was also a time of American greatness and that their declining numbers have come with decline and dysfunction in Washington. They knew a cause greater than self and an enemy greater than a political opponent. McCain knows something of that, and he recalled that Sens. Bob Dole, R-Kansas, and Daniel Inouye, D-Hawaii — from opposite parties but the closest of friends — recuperated in the same hospital from their war wounds. Their decades-long quest for common purpose, and Pedevillano’s quiet heroism, stands in jarring contrast to the all-tootypical squabbling that occurred before McCain’s committee Tuesday morning. McCain berated Defense Secretary Ashton Carter and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey over Middle East policy, accusing the administration of “self-delusion” and calling the nation’s top uniformed officer “intellectually dishonest.” It was a different McCain, serene and nostalgic, at Pedevillano’s ceremony a few minutes later. “This is a generation which, let’s be very frank, is now leaving us,” McCain said. “The inspiration that they provided to us, whether we served in the military or not, is something that is of transcendent importance.” Gen. Larry Spencer, the Air Force’s vice chief of staff, recalled the triumph and tragedy of the “Mighty Eighth,” in which Pedevillano served under the command of Jimmy Doolittle. The 8th Air Force suffered 47,000 casualties, including 26,000 deaths. “Thank you doesn’t seem like enough,” Spencer told Pedevillano. Yet it almost seemed too much to Pedevillano, who tried often to escape his captors at the Nazi prison Stalag Luft 7, and who was forced to march 300 miles as his jailers tried to evade invading allied troops. In a barely audible voice, he expressed only one regret as he modestly accepted his commendation. “Unfortunately my wife, after 64 years, is not here with me,” he said. “She’s now interred at Arlington National Cemetery, and in the very near future I hope to be with her.” Pedevillano has earned that rest with her and with the brothers he lost more than 70 years ago. We do well to remember them. We would do better to emulate their quiet and selfless sense of country. Dana Milbank is a Washington Post columnist.

Reform of federal student aid process urged By Donna Gordon Blankinship Associated Press

SEATTLE — Two million more young people could get the financial aid they need to go to college if the federal government makes it easier to fill out its financial aid forms, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation said Wednesday. The Seattle-based foundation

said revising the form would be relatively simple and would not change the accuracy of the process. Students must fill out the form known as the Free Application for Federal Student Aid or FAFSA before they can qualify for a federal grant, subsidized student loan or nearly any other form of college financial aid. The Gates Foundation has

taken aim at the FAFSA as part of its strategy to make college more accessible to low-income students, said Dan Greenstein, director of the Postsecondary Success team at the foundation. They are far from alone in calling for reform of this complex application process that requires students to answer numerous questions each year about their parent’s financial status and

tax returns. “There is already a lot of conversation around financial aid and FAFSA simplification. We’re delighted to contribute to the debate,” Greenstein said. The foundation is asking for three changes: ■■Eliminate many of the more complex questions on the form because they only apply to a small percentage of applicants.

Wild blue yonder

■■Allow a direct link to IRS data to automatically fill in part of the form. ■■Let students use tax information from two years before their application so they don’t have to wait until their parents start their current taxes. “The data exists, the technology exists and there’s an emergency sense of urgency,” Greenstein said.

Army’s medical HQ moves Associated Press

BECKY BOHRER / ASSOCIATED PRESS

A paraglider who took off along the Grandchild Peaks trail near Juneau, Alaska, has the mountains as a dramatic backdrop.

JOINT BASE LEWISMCCHORD — The U.S. Army is moving its western medical headquarters from Washington to Hawaii. The Western Regional Medical Command, which is in charge of Army hospitals in 20 Western states, is at Joint Base LewisMcChord. The command has about 165 employees led by a major general. The News Tribune said Army Surgeon General Lt. Gen. Patricia Horoho announced the decision this week. A two-star general position will be relocated to Honolulu, home of the Army’s Pacific headquarters. The medical commander would oversee health care and find ways to support military engagements along the Pacific Rim with foreign allies. A deputy commander will remain at JBLM and would focus on patient care throughout the Pacific, which includes Madigan and Army hospitals in Alaska.

Seattle council considers new tax on gun sales Associated Press SEATTLE — The Seattle City Council is considering a new tax on gun sellers to collect money for gun violence prevention and research on how to reduce the impact of gun violence on the city. Under the proposal, gun and ammunition sellers would be charged $25 for every firearm

sold in Seattle and 5 cents for every round of ammunition sold. City officials estimate the new tax would collect between $300,000 and $500,000 a year. City Council President Tim Burgess also has proposed a law that would require mandatory reporting of lost or stolen firearms to the Seattle Police Department. Both proposals were scheduled to be discussed by the council’s

Education and Governance Committee on July 15. “Taxpayers in Seattle pay for millions of dollars in emergency medical care every year for people who have been shot,” Burgess said in a statement. “It’s time for the gun industry to chip in to help defray these costs.” The direct medical costs of treating 253 gunshot victims at Harborview Medical Center in

2014 totaled more than $17 million. Taxpayers paid more than $12 million of that cost, according to Burgess’ proposal. Burgess told The Seattle Times he expects the city would be sued if one or both of his proposals become law, because the state prohibits municipalities from regulating firearms. Alan Gottlieb, founder of the Bellevue-based Second

Amendment Foundation, said state law makes the proposed Seattle gun violence tax “dead on arrival.” “They’re wrong, and they know it,” Gottlieb said. “They’re just wearing their anti-gun philosophy on their sleeves.” He cited a lawsuit brought by his group and other parties that in 2010 forced Seattle to scrap a rule banning guns in parks.

Heat, drought are proving deadly for salmon, trout By Jeff Barnard Associated Press

GRANTS PASS, Ore. — Drought and record hot weather are producing lethal conditions for salmon and trout in rivers across the West. A recent survey released Wednesday of the lower reaches of 54 rivers in Oregon, California and Washington by the conservation group Wild Fish Conservancy showed nearly three-quarters had temperatures higher than 70 degrees, considered potentially deadly for salmon and trout. Low river flows from the record low winter snowpack, which normally feeds rivers through the summer, combined with record hot weather have created a “perfect storm” of bad conditions for salmon and trout, said U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service supervisory fisheries biologist Rich Johnson. “It’s unprecedented, I’d say,” Johnson said. Oregon Climate Center Associate Director Kathie Dello says the entire West Coast saw record low snowpack last winter, leading to low rivers this summer. All three states had record high temperatures for June, with Oregon breaking the record by 3 degrees, and the three-month outlook

from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is for continued warmer and drierthan-normal weather made worse by the ocean-warming condition known as El Nino, she added. “This is the worst case scenario playing out right now, a warm winter and then a warm and dry summer,” she said. The Willamette River saw scores of dead salmon in June. This week, state biologists examined about 50 dead sockeye salmon in the mouth of the Deschutes River. State fisheries biologist Rod French said they appeared to have been infected with a gill rot disease associated with warm water, and had probably left the warm waters of the Columbia River in search of cooler water. In California, inland fisheries manager Roger Bloom says they are considering emergency fishing closures on several rivers so that fish weakened by the warm water do not die from being played by an angler, even if they are released. They include the lower Merced, the American and the Klamath. In Washington, two federal fish hatcheries in the Columbia Gorge released 6 million juvenile

A juvenile spring chinook is put into a holding pond in Sandy, Oregon, on April 14, 2011. This year, hatcheries are releasing fish as much as a month earlier to try to protect them from diseases that can occur in warm water.

salmon two weeks early in the Columbia River, in hopes they would have a better chance of reaching the ocean before temperatures got even warmer, said Johnson. “It’s just a perfect storm of bad weather conditions for salmon,” he said. “Pray for rain and snow.” River flows are so low, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife is sending out crews to clear out impromptu dams

people build with rocks to create a pool to cool off in, so the salmon can swim upstream to spawn, said department drought coordinator Teresa Scott. Rivers are at levels normally not expected until September, and no one knows if they will drop even further. “This is such a huge magnitude compared to previous droughts,” she said. “Records available from before don’t come close

to preparing us for what we are encountering this year.” In Oregon, deputy fisheries chief Bruce McIntosh says they have imposed closures around cool water areas where salmon seek refuge at the mouths of tributaries flowing into the lower Umpqua River, but he did do not anticipate any more closures unless things get worse. “Certainly we’ve had significant droughts in the past, such as the late 70’s,” he said. “But the challenge this year has been not only are there drought conditions, we’re having August temperatures in June. That combination we really have not seen before.” Liz Hamilton of the Northwest Sportfishing Association, said closures are not needed, because when temperatures get too warm, fish go off the bite, and anglers quit fishing anyway. “It as 2001 or 2002 and the Columbia got really hot in the fall,” she recalled. “There were fish everywhere. You had a better chance of one jumping in the boat than of biting. It’s one of those things about fishing. If people are not catching, they are not spreading the word to go, and less and less people go.”

SERVICES HOROSCOPE

Happy Birthday: Keep an open mind and a clear head. Don’t let emotions run wild. There will be an explanation for everything you encounter, so jumping to conclusions or being difficult to get along with will only work against you. Your numbers are 6, 14, 20, 23, 29, 38, 44. ARIES (March 21-April 19): Unexpected changes will take place at home and work, so it’s important not to show signs of distress. Prove that you can handle whatever comes your way. �� TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t offer too much information regarding your personal affairs. Back off a problem that concerns dealing with institutions. Handle your own affairs. �� GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Offer creative input if it will help a cause that you care about to find a solution to a problem, but don’t do someone else’s job for them. Make extra efforts to impress your family and those around you. �� CANCER (June 21-July 22): Misinterpretation or poor information is apparent, especially where emotional situations are involved. Stay calm and address matters in a way that takes everyone’s emotions into consideration. �� LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t hesitate to try something new. Use your skills and talents, and you will get a shot at a position that would allow you to live up to your full potential. Expect someone to try and make you look bad. �� VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Collaborate

Speed leads Frogs to 4-3 win By Brian Adamowsky

Herald Writer

EVERETT — As one of the Northwest League’s top offensive teams through the first month of the 2015 season, the Everett AquaSox have scored their league-high 123 runs in a variety of ways. On Wednesday, the Sox used their team speed and aggressive but calculated baserunning to set up their opportunities in a 4-3 win over the Hillsboro Hops on Kids Day at Everett Memorial Stadium. Everett (13-8) stole three bases on Wednesday, two in quick succession by Drew Jackson in the second

EVERETT — About 2,000 kids from 40 different summer camps, day cares and schools helped fill Everett Memorial Stadium for Kids Day on Wednesday afternoon to watch the AquaSox beat Hillsboro 4-3. The special 11 a.m. game time allowed all those youngsters to fill 28 buses and vans that made their way to Everett for the game as part of an annual tradition of bringing kids to the ballpark. It will shift to a biannual tradition in 2015, with another Kids Day scheduled for July 28. “We’re actually doing

The AquaSox never relinquished the lead, tagging up on fly balls with runners on second, executing hitand-run plays and coming through in clutch situations en route to the win. See AQUASOX, Page C2

Familiar theme in M’s loss Seattle goes 0-for-14 with runners in scoring position as Detroit wins 5-4. By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

SEATTLE — Traction remains maddening elusive for the Seattle Mariners as the All-Star break approaches. A pulsating walk-off victory Tuesday night in 11 innings produced no follow-up momentum Wednesday afternoon in a 5-4 loss to the Detroit Tigers at Safeco Field. The biggest bugaboo was alltoo-familiar: The Mariners were hitless in 14 at-bats with runners in scoring position. Yep, squatfor-14 with RISP in a one-run loss. “We had a bunch of chances — me in particular,” said Dustin Ackley, who hit a two-run homer

but also stranded five runners. “I had a couple of more (chances) with guys on base with two outs, and I wasn’t able to get it done.” He had company. “We scored four runs,” acting manager Trent Jewett said. “Obviously, we had plenty of opportunities to push a lot more across. Didn’t get that done. You’d certainly like to be more efficient in those spots, and we weren’t. “I don’t think it’s completely uncommon to us. It’s happened previously.” So here the Mariners sit, still

spinning their wheels at 39-46, with just a four-game series against American League Westrival Los Angeles before the four-day break arrives. The Tigers and Mariners combined for 14 homers over the three-game series, which matched a Safeco Field record. Detroit had nine of them, but the winning run Wednesday scored on a sacrifice fly. It was 4-4 in the seventh inning when rookie Mayckol Guaipe, after a scoreless sixth, gave up one-out singles to Yoenis Cespedes and Victor Martinez before loading the bases by hitting J.D. Martinez. Nick Castellanos sent a fly to center that was deep enough to score Cespedes with the go-ahead run, but Martinez was thrown out in trying to advance to third.

ockeye and kings and crab, oh my! Too many top fisheries and too little time to hit ‘em all. Many will probably opt this weekend for the start of the very popular Baker Lake sockeye season, opening tomorrow and running through Sept. 7 with a four-fish daily limit. This small salmon with the meal appeal will draw a big crowd to the limited Forest Service boat ramps, for sure. Other than that, however, what’s not to like about the fishery? Clean water, an almost wilderness setting and, with Mount Baker looming over your shoulder, world class scenery. If you’re absolutely forced to go out and catch a fish, Baker Lake makes the job relatively painless. Monday’s trap count at Lower Baker Dam was 1,351 sockeye; the total number trapped to that point was 8,893; and 6,881 had been transferred to the lake. Since that number is nearly three times state biologist Brett Barkdull’s rule of thumb for “decent” fishing, the opener — and the season — should be gunnysack. If you imagine the lake as an upside-down letter “L” with the short leg pointing east, the bulk of the fishing pressure will be along the south shoreline of the short leg, from the bend uplake to Noisy Creek, over the inundated Baker River channel. But that’s a hangover from the first season, when that area produced almost all the sockeye. Anglers have since found good populations of fish a lot of places, from the bend uplake. Daily use and trailer parking is available only at Forest Service campgrounds: Swift Creek, Panorama Point, Horseshoe Cove (for a $5 daily use fee) and the Puget Sound Energy

Herald news services INDIANAPOLIS — The Seattle Storm’s three-game road trip ended Wednesday with a thud. The Storm struggled to take care of the ball and the Indiana Fever took full advantage, beating Seattle 88-65 in WNBA action. Indiana scored 19 points off 12 Seattle turnovers in the first half as the Fever built a 53-35 halftime lead and were never seriously threatened in the second half. The Storm (3-10) went 0-3 on the road swing, which included games at Minnesota and Atlanta. Rookie Jewell Loyd, the No. 1 pick in the 2015 WNBA draft, came off the bench to lead Seattle with 15 points. She was 3-for-7 from the field and 8-for-10 from the foul line. It marked the fourth time in the past five games Loyd has reached double figures in scoring. Abby Bishop added 12 points for Seattle. Lynetta Kizer paced Indiana (6-6) with 17 points. Marissa Coleman and Tamika Catchings scored 15 and 12, respectively.

Ducks and dogs facility, Kulshan Campground, just above Upper Baker Dam. The launch farthest uplake is at Shannon Creek campground, but boat trailer parking there is available only to registered campers. That makes Swift Creek and Panorama Point the closest to the fishing, but also the most crowded. If your boat will handle the job, you might want to launch down at Horseshoe Cove or Kulshan, and run uplake. Remember, however, that running back down at the end of the fishing day, into the teeth of a brisk southwesterly, might get a little gnarly. Snohomish resident and kokanee guide John Thomas (he guides on Lake Stevens among other places, but commercial activity is forbidden on Baker Lake) likes to fish the area off Noisy Creek and the whole north end of the lake. He recommends an 8-inch dodger in chrome, pink or white, and 10 to 12 inches of 30- or 40-pound leader — heavy enough to prevent fish from rolling up and cutting themselves off on the dodger. His lure would be a 3- or 4-inch pink mini-squid rigged with two 1/0 or 2/0 pink Gamakatsu hooks. Tipping the top hook with a chunk of prawn will increase your chances, he says. The fish can be anywhere between 12 feet and 60 feet, Thomas says, making a fish

finder helpful but not critical. The same applies to downriggers — if you have ‘em, use ‘em, but you can usually get down deep enough with a diver, 6-ounce crescent sinker, or drop weights. Keep moving on a slow troll and trying different depths until you locate the schools. Call the Mount Baker Ranger District at 360-856-5700; or PSE Kulshan campground at 360-853-8341; or go online to Baker Lake Boater Information — Washington; Baker Lake Salmon Fishing; or Baker Lake Boater Rules and Access Sites Information

Summer kings Opening July 16 is another huge fishery — for adult fin-clipped hatchery kings in Marine Area 9 (Area 10 isn’t included this year), Admiralty Inlet and central Sound from the Possession Point/shipwreck line south to Edmonds. This one, the experts say, will probably reach quota in three to five days and be shut down, so get on it fast. All Star Charters owner Gary Krein says he will start the season either on outer Possession Bar, at 120 to 150 feet, or on the shoreline between Point No Point and Pilot Point, at 90 to 120 feet. On Possession Bar He’ll go with a green or white Gibbs flasher, 36 to 40 inches of leader, and a Gold Star spoon, 31⁄2 or 4 inches, in green/white or black/white. On the Kitsap Peninsula side, he would change the spoon to a white Coho Killer — the smaller spoon because of a preponderance of smaller

Fish and Wildlife budget The state Department of Fish and Wildlife apparently weathered the recent legislative budget negotiations in pretty decent shape. Department spokesman Bruce Botka, in Olympia, said in a release, “We feel good overall about the outcome. Most importantly, lawmakers provided sufficient funding to ensure that WDFW will not need to lay off staff or close facilities to make ends meet over the next two years.” Botka said the capital budget outcome was also quite positive, with funding for several major projects included.

Mummau said. Hillsboro (11-10) scored twice in the seventh inning off Everett reliever Taylor Byrd, but Troy Scott (4-1) kept the tying run off the board by inducing a 5-2 fielder’s choice and striking out pinch-hitter Fernery Ozuna

to end the bases-loaded threat. “That was a huge spot, with one out and the bases loaded,” Mummau said. “Troy threw strikes and let his sinker do the work in the zone.” Kyle Wilcox pitched a perfect ninth for his third save.

“We like to put pressure on defenses and try to make things happen that way,” AquaSox manager Rob Mummau said. “We like our guys to be able to utilize their speed to go first to third or tag up and things like that. When you have speed on a team you can do some different things.” Left fielder Corey Simpson, who also drove in the Sox’s first run of the day with a single in the first inning, drove in Jordan Cowan with a sacrifice fly in the third. The play was set up by Cowan taking third base on a flyout to center field off the bat of Logan Taylor. When Cowan reached on a throwing error with one out in the fifth, Taylor delivered a perfect hit-and-run single to right-center field, right through the hole vacated by the covering second baseman, that advanced Cowan to third. Simpson, who also drove in three runs in Everett’s 7-4 win on Tuesday night, singled to left to score Cowan for his third RBI on Wednesday. “Corey’s doing a really good job of keeping his twostrike approach and coming through in big situations for us,”

The third annual Speedcrabbing Derby is scheduled for Saturday at the Port of Everett boat ramp — the event is free, funky and benefits the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance. The event raised $2,300 for the Alliance last year, on the harvest of more than 250 pounds of crab by 75 participants. Teams of two to four crabbers try to take the 10 best crab by weight, keeping in mind the speed factor — come in early for a weight bonus, come in late for a weight penalty. The winning team earns the title “Puget Sound’s Greatest Recreational Crabber” and first pick from the prize pool. A very nice Brutus pot hauler was the first pick last year, organizer Eddie Adams said. Adams calls the event “Speed-

Nick Kester, also of All Star Charters, will run out to the Port Townsend area and fish the outer edge of Midchannel Bank, on a line from Marrowstone Point to Point Wilson, starting at 90 feet and working out to 140 or 150 feet, always trolling with the tide. He’ll go with a red or white/glow Gibbs Flasher, 40 to 46 inches of leader, and a Coho Killer in white lightning, Cookies ‘N Cream, or Irish Cream. “If you can’t get ‘em on one of those three, they ain’t there,” Kester said. He said reports of chinook action farther out the strait have been good, and so were the number of kings hooked incidentally to the coho fishery earlier, in Marine Area 10. Krein said the hatchery kings in past seasons have averaged 11 to 15 pounds, with a scattering of fish to the mid-20s.

Camp, Bright Star Kids Academy in Lynnwood and Mill Creek and the Northshore YMCA cheered the AquaSox on Wednesday as the between-inning music leaned more toward the Spongebob Squarepants theme song than rock or country. “I think it’s so important to build our fan base young and to have these kids get

108-year-old woman to throw out first pitch SEATTLE — Evelyn Jones is armed and ready to throw out the ceremonial first pitch Saturday at Safeco Field prior to the Mariners’ game against the Los Angeles Angels. It will mark her 108th birthday. Jones will become the oldest person to deliver a ceremonial pitch in majorleague history. The record currently belongs to Agnes McKee, who was 105 when she performed the duty on July 20, 2014 in San Diego. Jones lives at the Fairwinds-Brittany Park retirement community in Woodinville. She was born on July 11, 1907, in the central Washington town of Leahy. Jones credits her longevity to a diet of beef and lots of vegetables, exercise and drinking alcohol only at Saturday dances.

Marte update The Mariners placed shortstop Ketel Marte on a rehab assignment at Peoria in order to test his recovery from a broken left thumb suffered May 31 while playing for Tacoma. Marte, 21, is expected to play a few games in the Arizona Rookie League before departing, barring any setbacks, for the All-Star Futures Game, which is Sunday at Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati. Double-A Jackson right-hander Edwin Diaz will join Marte on the World team at the Futures Game. Marte was also picked to start for the Pacific Coast League next Wednesday in the Triple-A All-Star Game in Omaha, Neb. First baseman Jesus Montero and pitcher Forrest Snow were also chosen for the PCL team. Prior to his injury, Marte was batting .343 for the Rainiers in 51 games. K-club bullpen The Mariners’ bullpen tied a majorleague record by racking up 12 strikeouts over five innings Tuesday night in a four-man relay after replacing starter Taijuan Walker. Only one other time has a bullpen recorded at least 12 strikeouts in five or fewer innings. The Chicago White Sox had 12 in five innings against the Blue Jays on April 15, 2010 in a 7-3 loss at Toronto. The Mariners got three strikeouts from Mark Lowe in his only inning, one from Fernando Rodney in one inning, five from Carson Smith in two innings and three from Charlie Furbush in one inning. Six and one Robinson Cano’s game-winning RBI single Tuesday in the 11th inning was the sixth walk-off hit of his career ... but his first with the Mariners. It was also his first in nearly six years. Cano’s last walk-off winner was Aug. 28, 2009, when he hit a three-run homer in the 10th inning that lifted the New York Yankees to a 5-2 victory over the Chicago White Sox. Minor details This bears repeating just in case you missed it: Jesus Montero had two triples — two triples! — Tuesday for Triple-A Tacoma in an 8-7 victory at Fresno (Astros). He also had a single in four at-bats and four RBI. Montero, 25, entered Wednesday as the Pacific Coast League leader with 110 hits — 16 more than anyone else. He was batting .328 with 14 homers and a PCLleading 67 RBI. And he had five triples.

The Mariners’ Nelson Cruz hits a two-run home run against the A’s in a game last week.

Cruz has longest homer Associated Press NEW YORK — Seattle’s Nelson Cruz has the longest home run in the major leagues this season, and Miami’s Giancarlo Stanton has the three longest in the NL, according to the sport’s new Statcast computer system. MLB announced its first season leaderboards Wednesday. Cruz hit a drive projected at 483 feet against Texas’ Wandy Rodriguez on April 29. Distance is calculated as the projected landing point at ground level. Stanton hit a homer run projected at 479 feet off St. Louis’ Carlos Martinez on June 23 following 478-foot drives versus Atlanta’s Alex

The run counted because Cespedes crossed the plate before the third out. That was the difference. Detroit starter Anibal Sanchez (8-7) exited after a one-out walk to Nelson Cruz in the seventh on his 113th pitch. Edmonds-Woodway High School alum Blaine Hardy struck out pinch-hitter Franklin Gutierrez before the Tigers went to their bullpen again. Al Albuquerque gave up a single to Mark Trumbo that moved Cruz to second but retired Ackley on a fly to left. Albuquerque worked through the eighth before Joakim Soria closed out the victory. The Mariners didn’t go quietly. Soria issued a pair of twoout walks before striking out Trumbo, who had three of the Mariners’ six hits, on a split-finger fastball on a full count. “I saw every one of his pitches,” Trumbo said. “The pitch to hit was probably the breaking ball that I fouled off. That’s 20 miles an hour slower than his fastball. Then he threw a nice split-finger to end it. “There’s a reason he’s a pretty good pitcher.” Guaipe (0-2) was the loser for the second time in three days. The Mariners had just pulled

NEW YORK — The Reds’ Todd Frazier is paired with two-time

champion Prince Fielder of Texas in the first round of Monday’s All-Star Home Run Derby in Cincinnati. In this year’s new format, Chicago Cubs rookie Kris Bryant is in a pairing with the Los Angeles Angels’ Albert Pujols, Toronto’s Josh Donaldson is in a bracket with the Chicago Cubs’ Anthony Rizzo, and Los Angeles Dodgers rookie Joc Pederson takes on Baltimore’s Manny Machado. The Frazier-Fielder winner faces Donaldson or Rizzo, and the Bryant-Pujols winner goes against Pederson or Machado. Brackets were based on season home run totals through Tuesday. Each batter gets five minutes per round, and home runs in each batter’s final minute stop the clock. Players can earn up to 1 minute, 30 seconds of bonus time based on home run distance.

even at 4-4 on Ackley’s two-run homer in the fourth when lefty starter J.A. Happ started the fifth inning by walking Victor Martinez and J.D. Martinez. That finished Happ, who labored through 103 pitches in four-plus innings in part because some suspect defense extended Detroit’s three-run second inning. “It’s tough when you make your pitch, and they’re getting hits,” Happ said, “to trust that it’s going to stop. Sometimes, you tend to try to do a little too much. That may have been what happened today.” Mark Lowe cleaned up Happ’s mess in the fifth before the Mariners, their bullpen thinned by Tuesday’s game, turned again to a pair of justpromoted rookies, Guaipe and David Rollins, over the closing innings. The two were better than Monday, when they yielded a combined seven runs and nine hits in one inning. Just not quite good enough. “I felt all of our pitchers including Happ,” Jewett said, “gave us an opportunity to win the game. I think Happ had some breaks that didn’t necessarily reflect his performance. “I’m not saying it was his best performance, but there were some unfortunate things that happened.” Asked for specifics, Jewett dodged: “That’s all I’m going to say about it.”

It’s likely he was referring to aspects of the Detroit second inning. J.D. Martinez led off with a single to left and went to second on when a pitch got past backup catcher Jesus Sucre for a sloppy passed ball. Castellanos grounded a single through the left side, and third-base coach Dave Clark didn’t hesitate to wave home Martinez, who scored easily ahead of a weak throw from Ackley. When third baseman Kyle Seager chose not the cut the throw, Castellanos took second. Jefry Marte then collected his first major-league hit and first major-league RBI by slicing a double past Trumbo at first. Marte took third on a wild pitch that Sucre probably should have blocked before Iglesias pumped an RBI double into the right-center gap for a 3-0 lead. The Mariners clawed their back by turning leadoff doubles by Trumbo and Seager into single runs in the second and third. After Marte hit a one-out homer in the fourth, Ackley answered with a two-run shot later in the inning. In the end, though, it’s hard to get past 0-for-14 with runners in scoring position. “I think the situation can kind of get the best of us sometimes,” Ackley said. “We’re trying to do too much and win it ourselves instead of keeping it simple.”

Wood on May 16 and Colorado’s Eddie Butler on June 5. Rookies Kris Bryant and Joc Pederson had 477-foot homers. Bryant connected off Washington’s Aaron Barrett on May 26 and Pederson went deep against the Rockies’ David Hale on June 2. Stanton has the five hardesthit balls in the NL this season, ranging from 118.51 to 120.30 mph. Cruz topped the AL at 118.99 mph, followed by the Los Angeles Angels’ Mike Trout (117.71) and the New York Yankees’ Alex Rodriguez (116.54).

Hultzen update Left-hander Danny Hultzen threw 19 pitches in one simulated inning in Arizona and, barring any setbacks, will pitch two innings Monday in a rehab start for Peoria in the Arizona Rookie League. That planned outing will be Hultzen’s first game appearance since being shut down in mid-May after three starts at Double-A Jackson because of fatigue in his surgically-repaired shoulder. The tentative plan then calls for Hultzen, 25, to be activated at a full-season affiliate — probably Jackson. He missed all of last year while recovering from major shoulder surgery. 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.

Federer, Murray in Wimbledon semi showdown By Howard Fendrich Associated Press

LONDON — Roger Federer and Andy Murray ran into each other Wednesday morning in the champions’ locker room at the All England Club, then walked together over to the practice area to prepare — on adjacent courts — for their respective quarterfinals later in the day. “We weren’t chatting about anything. It was just, ‘Hey, how you doing?’ Nothing interesting,” Murray recounted. “We get on well. But obviously, on Friday — different story.” Yes, they’ll meet up again Friday, only the setting will be far different and things might be a tad less cordial, because the two past Wimbledon titlists face each other at Centre Court in the semifinals. The No. 2-seeded Federer is closing in on his record eighth trophy at the grass-court tournament; No. 3 Murray’s 2013 championship was the first for a British man at Wimbledon in 77 years. Plus, they have history on this particular patch of grass. In 2012, Federer won his 17th — and, to date, last — Grand Slam title by beating Murray in the Wimbledon final. A few weeks later, also at Centre Court, Murray repaid the favor, beating Federer for the singles gold medal at the London Games. “We both like to look back at that summer,” said Federer, who is 12-11 against Murray. “Me, not so much at the Olympics; him, probably not so much at Wimbledon.” Both advanced in quarterfinals slowed only by a pair of rain delays. Federer’s 116-hold streak in service games, dating to his previous tournament, ended, but that was merely a blip during a 6-3, 7-5, 6-2 victory over No. 12 Gilles Simon of France. Murray was hardly troubled at all by a weary Vasek Pospisil of Canada and won 6-4, 7-5, 6-4 in a match that finished with the retractable roof closed at Center Court, in front of an audience that included Prince William and his wife Kate. Another past champion, No. 1 Novak Djokovic, also barely was tested, eliminating No. 9 Marin Cilic of Croatia 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 to improve to 13-0 against the 2014 U.S. Open winner. Djokovic, who won Wimbledon in 2011 and 2014, plays No. 21 Richard Gasquet of France next. Gasquet emerged from the most

Wimbledon At a Glance A look at Wimbledon on Wednesday: Men’s quarterfinal results: No. 1 Novak Djokovic beat No. 9 Marin Cilic 6-4, 6-4, 6-4; No. 2 Roger Federer beat No. 12 Gilles Simon 6-3, 7-5, 6-2; No. 3 Andy Murray beat Vasek Pospisil 6-4, 7-5, 6-4; No. 21 Richard Gasquet beat No. 4 Stan Wawrinka 6-4, 4-6, 3-6, 6-4, 11-9. Women’s semifinals Thursday: No. 1 Serena Williams vs. No. 4 Maria Sharapova; No. 13 Agnieszka Radwanska vs. No. 20 Garbine Muguruza. Men’s semifinals Friday: Djokovic vs. Gasquet, Federer vs. Murray. compelling quarterfinal — featuring two beautiful one-handed backhands — with a 6-4, 4-6, 3-6, 6-4, 11-9 win over No. 4 Stan Wawrinka of Switzerland. “It was great to watch them go backhandto-backhand today,” said Djokovic, who is 11-1 against Gasquet. “Some great points, great exchanges.” Until Gasquet dropped to his back at the baseline when French Open champion Wawrinka’s last backhand sailed long, it appeared this might be the first Wimbledon semifinals in 20 years involving men seeded 1-4. Gasquet truly is an interloper, the only remaining man without a major title. Never been to a final, even. “I’m the worst,” Gasquet said with a smirk, “when you see Federer, Djokovic and Murray and me.” He’ll be in his third Grand Slam semifinal. Djokovic, in contrast, owns eight major championships and reached his 27th major semifinal, sixth in a row at Wimbledon. “Obviously,” Djokovic said, “the experience of being in these final stages of Wimbledon many times is going to help me.” Imagine how Federer feels. He’s into his 10th Wimbledon semifinal (he’s 9-0) and 37th at all majors (25-11). “I’m very proud of my achievements here, don’t get me wrong,” said Federer, who turns 34 on Aug. 8. “But it’s not like something I walk around, beating my chest, saying, like, ‘I’m great here.”’

MLS teams get additional $500,000 to spend on players Associated Press NEW YORK — Each Major League Soccer team will receive $500,000 in additional money over the next five years to spend on players. The league said Wednesday that the funds, called Targeted Allocation Money, can be applied to sign or resign players who earn more than the maximum salary budget charge who are not high-priced designated players. The maximum budget charge this year is $436,250. Teams may use the entire $500,000 in one season, on up to three players. The money also

may be used to convert a designated player to a non-designated player by buying down his salary budget charge, and the funds can be traded. “We are hopeful that it’s going to have a real material change in terms of bringing in a significant number of high-quality players,” Todd Durbin, the league’s executive vice president of player relations and competition, said Wednesday. Players in the first 20 roster spots count for $3.49 million against each team’s salary budget this year. The league said the new funds are in accordance with MLS’s new labor contract.

McIlroy pulls out Crashes mar stage 5 of Tour de France of British Open By Jerome Pugmire

protecting his Tinkoff-Saxo teammate Alberto Contador, and then contested the stage sprint, zooming ahead of British rider Mark Cavendish to take second place behind Greipel. “It was also very crazy today with rain, wind and a lot of crashes and I’m happy with how we finished,” Sagan said. Three of his teammates were involved in crashes, but not Contador. “Everybody wants to be at the front on a day like this to protect the team leaders and that creates tension,” Sagan said. “I want to help and protect Alberto.” The yellow jersey group rolled over the line with no change to the leading positions. German rider Tony Martin, the winner on stage 4, still leads Froome by 12 seconds and Tejay Van Garderen, a promising American rider with strong climbing skills, by 25. “Everyone thought today was going to be the relaxed day of the tour. But the wind and the rain made it anything but,” Van Garderen said. “Luckily, I have one of the strongest

Associated Press

By Doug Fergusonap Golf Writer Rory McIlroy pulled out of the British Open at St. Andrews on Wednesday with an ankle injury, the first time in 61 years the defending champion will not be playing. McIlroy made the announcement by posting a photo on Instagram that showed his left ankle in an air cast, propped up as he watched Wimbledon on television. That will be his only view of St. Andrews next week, a blow to the world’s No. 1 player and to the oldest championship in golf. McIlroy said he ruptured a ligament in his left ankle over the weekend while playing soccer with friends in Northern Ireland. He

was hopeful that he would recover in time for The Open, but decided two days later it was not worth risking a full recovery. “After much consideration, I have decided not to play in the Open Championship at St. Andrews,” McIlroy said. “I’m taking a long-term view of this injury and, although rehab is progressing well, I want to come back to tournament play when I feel 100 percent healthy and 100 percent competitive.” He said he hoped to be back to golf as soon as he could. Ben Hogan in 1954 was the last British Open champion who did not defend. Hogan won the only British Open he played in 1953 at Carnoustie.

AMIENS, France — With crashes taking down riders on rain-drenched roads, keeping team leaders safe was the order of the day on Wednesday’s fifth stage of the Tour de France. By the time Andre Greipel attacked in the last 100 meters to win his second stage of the Tour, and a third in five days for German riders, the last of the day’s seven crashes had taken down 30 riders. There had been a big spill in stage three, too, involving some 20 riders. But once again, Chris Froome and the other Tour contenders avoided them. “There was absolutely everything out there today. It rained, which made the roads slippery, and it was also windy,” said Ian Stannard, Froome’s Team Sky teammate. “That made for a stressful day.” Peter Sagan, a Slovak rider seeking to win the green jersey as the Tour’s best sprinter for a fourth straight year, had even more reason to feel tired. He spent most of the day

teams here.” Among the main contenders, Froome leads two-time Tour champion Contador by 36 seconds; defending champion Vincenzo Nibali by 1:38 and Colombian rider Nairo Quintana, the 2013 runner-up, by 1:56. The stage took the weary peloton over 189.5 kilometers (117.5 miles) from Arras to Amiens in northern France, passing some of the battlefields of World War One. The rain, which largely stayed away the day before, thundered down and turned the roads into something of an ice rink. Clinching the eighth stage win of his Tour career on damp tarmac, Greipel punched the air in delight. German public broadcaster ARD restarted its live coverage of the race this year following a 3-year hiatus due to the doping scandals in recent years, which included Lance Armstrong being stripped of his seven Tour titles (1999-2005). “I’m happy that we can bring the Tour de France back to Germany,” said Greipel.

Reports: Pierre-Paul has right index finger amputated

To advertise, call 425.339.3089 | Mon-Fri - 8AM-5PM | 24/7 www.Heraldnet.com/Classiﬁeds

Herald news services Jason Pierre-Paul had his right index finger amputated on Wednesday as a result of a July 4 fireworks accident, according to multiple reports. ESPN’s Adam Schefter first tweeted Wednesday evening that Pierre-Paul’s finger was amputated, citing medical records the network obtained. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport later confirmed the news. The Giants said they will not have any comment on the report. Earlier Wednesday, Giants officials left Miami without seeing Pierre-Paul, according to a league source. Team officials arrived in Miami on Monday, but were never able to visit with Pierre-Paul. As Newsday previously reported, negotiations between the Giants and Pierre-Paul for a long-term contract have not broken off, but given the July 15 deadline to reach such a deal, it seems unlikely. The Giants have given a franchise tender worth $14.8 million for the 2015 season to Pierre-Paul..

MUKILTEO — His and hers. There is a clear division of labor of love at the household of Lorraine and Rod Jones. He gardens. She quilts. “Once in a while I tell him I think that plant would look better over there,” Lorraine said. “He either takes it or leaves it. It’s like him with my quilts.” She and Rod have been married 45 years. See for yourself the magic of their matrimony. Her quilts will hang in his garden at their home, one of seven stops on the Mukilteo Quilt & Garden Tour, July 18 and 19. The joint event by Mukilteo Way Garden Club and the Mukilteo Lighthouse Quilters combines sewing and garden arts. There will be about 100 quilts in seven gardens in and near Mukilteo on the tour, which is held every other year. Ticket sales are capped at 1,000. “It’s a plenty good

eing “green” is not a new idea. Our ancestors recycled and reused precious pieces of fabrics, broken dishes and glass, iron, tin and more. Textiles often were woven on a loom at home until the mid-1850s. For most families there was no nearby store with a replacement, and no way to order something to be delivered until Victorian times. The Sears, Roebuck & Co. catalog (1894-present) was not the first, but it was the most famous catalog, and others followed. Although the catalog offered quilts and pictures, someone, probably a talented housewife, stitched

a decorative panel of the silk bands that came on cigars. The bands were pieced together then fringe was added. Sample pieces of woolen cloth, sometimes with the paper label still attached, cotton fabric from flour sacks, and pieces of old dresses were recycled into larger pieced and patchwork quilts. Because the cigar bands are very small, they were not often reused. But today’s collectors of advertising, cigar-related items and quilts would want this unusual piece. It was made in the mid- to late 19th century. And although it only was a 23-inch square mounted in a 32-inch metal frame, it sold at

GREAT PLANT PICK

LIVING SMART | Staci Giordullo

What landscaping can you get for your money?

ow much does landscaping cost? Top-rated companies explain how far your dollar stretches when it comes to enhancing your home’s curb appeal. Angie’s List asked landscapers about the most popular projects they offer in various price ranges, so all you have to do is decide which one suits you best. Keep in mind, though, always to verify a landscaping company’s insurance and applicable licensing information.

What can I get for $50? Admittedly, at this price range you might be looking at more DIYtype projects, such as buying and spreading your own bags of mulch. But there are a few tasks you can hire a pro to tackle. Dan Eyre, owner of Dan’s Landscape and Tree Service in Cypress, California, says $50 will cover the cost of programming a sprinkler’s timer and an operational once-over. Other options include a flat of seasonal spring flowers, such as begonias, planted and mulched by a landscaper. Or one application of fly repellent for an average-sized lawn, according to Kronda Thimesch, co-owner of Green Meadows Landscaping in Lewisville, Texas.

What can I get for $500? Scott McIntyre, owner of Landscape Solutions in Los Gatos, California, says he typically charges a minimum of $500 for irrigation troubleshooting, repair services or other miscellaneous landscaping work that takes around eight man hours. “Our slogan is ‘great landscaping designed to budget,’ so we’re

What: “Sunshine Blue” is a winner for the home garden. It was originally bred as a crop blueberry but wasn’t a huge hit: Its very long fruiting season makes harvest impractical. As an edible-ornamental, though, it is a star. Its new leaves are sky blue and mature to bluegrey. In spring it produces bell-shaped, pink flowers that mature into delicious blueberries from late July through August. In autumn, some of its leaves turn red and fall to the ground. But about half of them remain and look very

familiar with the importance of good design and getting the most for your money,” he says. Thimesch says some of her services in this price range include: ■ Nine applications of a fertilization and weed control program. ■ Lawn mowed, trimmed and edged weekly for four months, for the average half-acre lot. ■ A 3-D design of your landscape plan.

decorative through winter. Unlike most fruiting blueberries, “Sunshine Blue” is self-pollinating. Older twiggy

and weak stems can be pruned out to encourage strong growth. Pruning is best done in winter. Where: Plant this ornamental blueberry in full sun to light or open shade. It will grow best in rich moist to well-drained soil. Make sure drainage is adequate as it will not tolerate waterlogged locations. Regular watering and fertilizing provides the best and most vigorous growth. Size: Reaches a height of 6 feet with a spread of 6 feet. GreatPlantPicks.org

CALENDAR

What can I get for $5,000? Mick Johnson, owner of Johnson Creek in St. Paul, Minnesota, says homeowners with this kind of budget can expect a wide variety of finished projects, including patios and retaining walls. The type of patio or wall, materials and size all play into the final cost. Another option is revamping a home’s front foundation landscape, which involves removing most — if not all — of the debris and plants already in the beds. Then those beds are reshaped and given a new planting palette to complement the home, increasing its overall curb appeal. Eyre says this budget will get a homeowner a complete irrigation system in both the front and back yards, including a new timer, valves, heads and also the installation of 1,000 square feet of sod. Other options our landscaping experts mentioned include: ■ Water features ■ Privacy and border plantings ■ Perennial gardens ■ Landscape lighting ■ Arbors and trellis work Staci Giordullo is a reporter for Angie’s List, www.angieslist.com, a resource for consumer reviews.

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

BACKYARD PRIVACY 1346639

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

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

Flooring

your outdoor space without feeling that everyone is watching you. Do you feel as though a high fence would tower over you and darken the backyard? You’re afraid of offending the neighbors if you build a structure to demarcate your property line? Instead of completely surrounding your yard with a fence or hedge, you could just position some wood screens or trellises in strategic places for a lighter touch. You can also play around with the height and spacing of these screens for a more aesthetic look. This trompe-l’oeil effect is perfect for creating a stylish landscape. Go ahead and talk to landscaping specialists to get more ideas. They’re sure to give you some great advice about how to set up your private little summer haven.

Try doing something shady in your garden I

n light of all this heat we are having it just seems appropriate to talk about gardening in the shade since that is probably where most of us are hanging out these days. Gardening in the shade can be a tricky business but once a gardener figures out his or her space it can be very rewarding. Here are some factors to consider: Shade comes in an assortment of flavors. Everyone has some sort of shade in the garden. Every house has an east side where there is morning sun and afternoon shade and a north side where there is total shade except for early morning and late evening this time of year. There is partial shade, or what we might call filtered shade, under trees and

There are still more treasures hidden in plain sight. Hint: The tall blue towers. It looks like yard art. It’s really the sprinkler system. Hear something buzzing? Hint: The bees are the real thing. “They don’t bother me,” Rod said. “I don’t bother them. They’re happy. I’m happy. I imagine if I grabbed a hold of them they’d send a message.” The level lawn with winding paths is a registered Wildlife Habitat, though no creatures are more wilder than Rod. The couple moved to Mukilteo in 1999 from Redmond after he retired as a Seattle Fire Department chief. “It took three and a half hours to mow the lawn,” he said. “I said, ‘This is the stupidist thing I’ve ever seen.’ So we bulldozed the entire property. We brought in tons of dirt and roto-tilled and roto-tilled so things will grow in here. We put in retaining walls.” Mowing time now: 30 minutes. He buys a lot of plants on clearance. “I water them, throw them in the ground. Put them in the ground in the right place and they grow

above variables it is hard to say for sure what will thrive or what will struggle. Plants that grow well in dry shade — for example under a tall evergreen — still need a good deal of pampering the first season before they can be left on their own (actually the same is true for so-called drought-tolerant plants that we put in full sun). Competition can be fierce underneath large trees. Their roots form a tight matrix everywhere and sometimes the only way to get something to grow is to put it in a large container. Nevertheless, there are a good many perennials and a few shrubs and trees and lots of bulbs (but not tulips) that once established will do very well in shade. Moist shady areas are hospitable. If you are lucky

STEVE SMITH THE WHISTLING GARDENER there are areas that while shady have a good deal of reflected light from adjacent buildings. The most difficult place to grow plants is under the eaves where winter rains cannot reach. Finally, there is dry shade and moist shade. All of the above conditions will dictate what can and can’t grow in our gardens. Shade gardening has a lot to do with trial and error. Because of all the

like crazy.” He gets as excited about plants as Willy Wonka in a chocolate factory. “I try to have something in bloom all year because it makes me happy,” he said. Lorraine has the same enthusiasm about sewing. “It provides for me a chance to be creative, a chance to be peaceful and a chance to lose yourself in something,” she said. “Quilts are made with love. Every quilt a person has put a bit of themselves in. From the time they pick the fabrics and pattern to stitching it to quilting it to giving it to someone.” She sometimes invites friends over to set up machines on the garden patio. “It’s very different sewing outside. You hear all the birds,” said Lorraine, who had careers as a respiratory therapist and a ceramic engineer. After retiring, the couple ran a home-based online fabric store, but now are pursuing their passions full time. “We are doing the same thing using different mediums. Fabric and gardening are kind of addicting,” Lorraine said. Their 12-year-old grandson, Dominic, recently had a quilt in a show. “It looks really cool,” Dominic said. “It’s fun to do and you can make all kinds of different designs and stuff.”

enough to have a moist shady area then the options are almost endless. Ferns, astilbe, hosta, bleeding hearts, bugbane, hellebores and heucheras are just a few of the choices that add pop and sizzle in what is normally a mostly monochromatic landscape. There are many golden-leaved plants that will lighten up a dark area, including my alltime favorite “Gold Heart” bleeding heart. Golden grasses are also a real winner for the shade whether it is dry or damp. Don’t forget the details. Creating an attractive shade garden has more to do with using foliage and building textural contrasts than it does using flowers for visual excitement. There are quite a few perennials and annuals that can liven

confused with Hummel figurines, also made by Goebel, because they are not based on drawings by Sister M.I. Hummel even though they have a similar endearing look. Goebel discontinued the Friar Tuck line in 1988. Q: When my mother married in 1952, two aunts bought her a set of Fiesta dinnerware. It had four place settings, each in a different pastel color. She never used the dishes. They are in the original carton. How much is the set worth? A: The colorful Fiesta dinnerware was introduced in 1936 by Homer Laughlin China Co. of Newell, West Virginia. Original Fiesta colors were blue (cobalt), red, light green, ivory and yellow. Turquoise followed in 1937. After World War II, decorating tastes changed from bright to more subdued colors. In 1951, the company discontinued the original blue, light green and ivory, continued to use turquoise and yellow,

and added softer colors, chartreuse, gray, rose and forest green. They are called Fiesta’s “fifties colors” and were used until 1959. The Fiesta line was retired in 1972, but Homer Laughlin Co. started making the dishes again in 1986 in new colors, black, white, apricot and cobalt blue. Vintage Fiestaware of the 1930s to ’50s is more valuable than

and in filtered shade cypress works well too (stay away from pines and junipers). Most broadleaf evergreens such as holly, boxwood and Nandina will grow in both sun or shade. And you can’t lose with camellias, aucuba, sarcococca or skimmia. Spending time and money on soil preparation in shady areas pays dividends. Amend the soil with generous amounts of compost, and after planting be sure and lay down a 1- to 2-inch layer of mulch (underneath which you have dusted the soil with a slow release organic fertilizer). Water well and enjoy the fruits of your labor. Steve Smith is owner of Sunnyside Nursery in Marysville and can be reached online at info@ sunnysidenursery.net.

Q: We have a clocklamp shaped like a camel resting on his knees. It looks like it’s made of painted wood. The clock is set into the side of a

tent-like structure on the camel’s back. A lamp on top of the structure has a shade decorated with a desert scene. There is a sticker on the back that says “Deluxe Art Clock, The Deluxe Clock & Mfg. Co., Inc., Patent Pending, New York.” I’m a nurse, and the clock has special meaning to my patients with alcohol problems because the camel is a symbol of AA. What is the value of this clock? A: The Deluxe Clock & Mfg. Co. was in New York and was a division of Lux Clock Mfg. Co. of Waterbury, Connecticut. The Deluxe Clock & Mfg. Co. made several “art clocks.” Your camel clock is made of Syroco (molded wood pulp) and was painted in a variety of colors. It was made about 1921. The clock mechanism was by Lux. Some Deluxe art clocks have sold recently for about $50. We haven’t seen a combination camel clock and lamp. Tip: Do not clean a mounted animal that has fur. It could become bald.

You may never get that apology you want

DAILY CROSSWORD

Adapted from a recent online discussion. Dear Carolyn: How does one end an estrangement? My sister and I haven’t spoken for five years. Despite the fact that I see her as the one who needs to apologize, as does my family, I have continued to send birthday and Christmas cards, with nothing in return. She even left a dinner event without even looking at me or saying goodbye. I was only five feet away. I’m getting sick of this, but at the same time, part of me wants to prove that she’s the one who’s causing this, not me. This is ridiculous! I don’t know where to start, and the last thing I want is “let’s sit down and cry and talk this out” bullcrap. Help. — Estranged Get this message to her, somehow: “I would like to end this estrangement, for the rest of the family’s sake if nothing else. What would it take from me for you to agree to put this behind us?” If she doesn’t answer, then that’s your answer — there’s nothing you can do. If she answers and it’s something you’re willing to do, then you either agree to it, give her what she wants and end it right there — or you say you’re not opposed to that, and

CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT have a request of your own. Then you request something modest but significant. As in, don’t ask her to assume blame for everything, but do say, “I would appreciate it if you acknowledged X,” where X is a clear and provable thing. If instead she asks for something you’re not willing to do, then you reply accordingly — “Unfortunately, I am not willing to do that” — and offer an alternative. “However, I would be willing to [blank].” This is all assuming you won’t see her anytime soon. If you will, then you just go up to her and say, “I’d like to get past this not speaking. Are you willing to talk about it?” You see where that goes, and your relatives make popcorn. Either way, if you do reconcile or something like it, please update your expectations of her to reflect what her recent behavior has

taught you. Lasting peace often depends on meeting people where they are, versus where you think they should be. To: Estranged: You don’t end an estrangement by “proving” anything. I think it’s an either/or situation — you can try to prove she caused it, maybe even succeed in getting her to admit that, but end up being right and estranged, or let it go and work toward ending the estrangement. — Anonymous True, thanks — “winning” is a stand-alone goal. To: Estranged: Remember what you can and can’t control. You CAN request an apology, but you can’t make your sister apologize. You can try to reconcile, but you can’t force your sister to forgive or speak to you. Focus on what YOU can do to get to a peaceful place, whether that’s reconciliation or accepting the status quo. If you find yourself thinking “If she would only X” — stop and remember that only YOU control your own feelings and actions. — Anonymous 2 Right — thus my advice to have each spell out what each one needs to be willing to move on. That is, if each is willing to do even that. Washington Post Writers Group

His girlfriend wants to vacation with her ex Dear Abby: My girlfriend has been divorced for two years. She shares custody of her two girls, ages 5 and 6, with her ex. She wants to remain friends with him for the sake of the girls. I have supported her friendly relationship with him despite the repeated lies he tells and the deceptive stories he makes up in an attempt to break us up. Recently, he decided he wants to take his daughters away for a long weekend. He invited my girlfriend to come along and plans to pay for everything, including a hotel room with two beds they will share. I said that this vacation and the arrangements are a deal breaker for me. She assures me that her intent is to be with her daughters and she has no desire for intimacy with her ex. She refuses to change her mind and says I need to trust her. The fact is, I don’t trust HIM based on his actions and many issues between them in the past. Am I paranoid or obsessing over this? — Uneasy Down South Dear Uneasy: You are neither obsessing nor paranoid. You are normal. Because the ex seems intent on breaking you up, you have a right to feel uneasy. Questions that occur to me are: Why would she want to go away for a long “family” weekend under these circumstances? Why would she insist on it even though she knows it bothers the man with whom she has a relationship? And why, after informing her that this will be a deal breaker — which is an ultimatum — are you tolerating it? Dear Abby: I’m a 17-yearold girl about to head off to college. I have a great relationship with my father, but my mother and I are not on the best of terms. RIP HAYWIRE

DEAR ABBY Half the time, she’s loving and supportive and willing to spend time with me. Other times, she is verbally and emotionally abusive. She’ll call me a failure and a disappointment, and cry for no reason. She has done this since my childhood, and I want to escape her toxicity by shutting her out of my life as an adult. However, she has threatened suicide (she has tried it before). My father is on her side and says he will refuse contact with me if I disown her. I want to keep them both in my life, but it has become too difficult to endure her abuse anymore. Please help. — College Bound In The Midwest Dear College Bound: You’re an intelligent young woman. I’m sure that by now you have realized that your mother has serious emotional issues for which one can only hope she is receiving professional help. When you leave for college, you will no longer be subjected to her mood swings or the hurtful comments she makes when she’s not herself. Once you have completed your education you will be on your own, and will most likely make a life for yourself wherever your profession takes you. It isn’t necessary to make any decisions about cutting anyone out of your life now. Time will take care of your problem. Universal Uclick

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Thursday, July 9, the 190th day of 2015. There are 175 days left in the year. Today’s highlight: On July 9, 1776, the Declaration of Independence was read aloud to Gen. George Washington’s troops in New York. On this date: In 1540, England’s King Henry VIII had his 6-month-old marriage to his fourth wife, Anne of Cleves, annulled. In 1816, Argentina declared independence from Spain. In 1850, the 12th president of the United States, Zachary Taylor, died after serving only 16 months of his term. (He was succeeded by Millard Fillmore.) In 1896, William Jennings Bryan delivered his famous “cross of gold” speech at the Democratic national convention in Chicago. In 1918, 101 people were killed in a train collision in Nashville, Tennessee. The Distinguished Service Cross was established by an Act of Congress.

Five years ago: The largest U.S.-Russia spy swap since the Cold War took place on a remote stretch of Vienna airport tarmac as planes from New York and Moscow arrived within minutes of each other with 10 Russian sleeper agents and four prisoners accused by Russia of spying for the West. One year ago: President Barack Obama began a two-day visit to Texas, where he met with state officials, including Gov. Rick Perry, to discuss the influx of unaccompanied children at the U.S.-Mexico border. Modeling agency founder Eileen Ford, 92, died in Morristown, New Jersey. Associated Press

New season for ‘Prairie Home Companion’ has big dose of Thile ST. PAUL, Minn. — The upcoming season of “A Prairie Home Companion” is bumping up the number of guest hosts, not long after creator Garrison Keillor ruminated about transitioning out of his host role. Mandolin whiz Chris Thile will host back-to-back shows in St. Paul during the 2015-16 season, and he will co-host two shows with Keillor in San Diego and New York. The lineup announced Monday by Keillor’s production company also includes a show co-hosted by Sarah Jarosz, Aoife O’Donovan and Sara Watkins. Watkins, Thile’s sometime bandmate in Nickel Creek, has hosted the show before. Keillor told the Berkshire (Massachusetts) Eagle last month that he looks forward to eventually leaving the host role.

Dueling tweets in May between Shearer and “Simpsons” executive producer Al Jean suggested Shearer might be leaving the Fox cartoon series, where he has voiced numerous
