EVERETT — Boeing’s new aerial refueling tanker, the KC-46 Pegasus, is already in production, though it hasn’t flown yet.

The first two to be delivered to the U.S. Air Force are on the final assembly line in the company’s Everett plant, CEO Dennis Muilenburg said Wednesday during a conference call with stock analysts and reporters.

The Air Force isn’t expected to give its final approval to put the plane into production until April 2016.

Cost overruns in the tanker’s development lowered the company’s core earnings per share for the second quarter from $2.39 to $1.62, which still beat the $1.37 expected by analysts.

The company spent $2 billion buying back 14 million shares, which helped soften the blow. Boeing management also predicts better than expected performance in other areas will help.

Boeing delivered a record 197 aircraft in the second quarter, and booked 171 orders. Free cash flow surged to $2.6 billion for the quarter, and sales of $24.5 billion exceeded the $24.3 billion predicted by analysts polled by Bloomberg.

The Chicago-based company lowered its annual profit forecast, putting it between $7.70 and $7.90 a share. That’s a 50 cent drop from the range before the tanker overruns were announced.

The latest overrun of $536 million after taxes came from problems recently discovered with the tanker’s integrated fuel system. It pushed the total cost overrun to $1.26 billion above the $4.9 billion fixed-price contract.

The problems have delayed the flight test program. The KC-46 is expected to fly by September, nine months behind schedule. Because of the delays, the Air Force has pushed back its decision to move to production from October to next April. The military could use the decision to get

EVERETT — Mary Toews isn’t used to being in the spotlight. So being selected as one of two winners of a ChangeMaker Award has left her feeling a little overwhelmed.

“I have butterflies in my tummy,” she said. “Now I get all this attention. I don’t know what to say.”

The award is scheduled to be presented to Toews on Thursday morning as part of a health conference, “At the Edge of Amazing,” at Xfinity Arena. Thursday’s event, and the ChangeMaker Awards, are sponsored by Providence’s Institute for a Healthier Community.

that have helped make their community a better place. The nonprofit Familias Unidas, which provides services to Spanish-speaking and immigrant groups in Snohomish County, also will receive an award.

If Toews is a little shy about talking about her work as founder of Mari’s Place in Everett, others have recognized

its value. Though operating out of tiny space at 3101 Hoyt Ave. in Everett, her work with youth was awarded a $9,200 grant this year from United Way of Snohomish County and the Greater Everett Community Foundation.

Toews, 54, was born in Mexico and was a kindergarten teacher before returning to higher education to earn

degrees in business and international law.

She came to the United States in 1986, initially to visit Disneyland. She met Brian Toews, who was serving in the Navy and based in San Diego.

The couple married and they have been together for 27 years.

They live in Lake Stevens.

Toews said she got the money to start Mari’s Place by returning to Mexico and selling a house and apartment. Toews said her inspiration for starting the center came from her son, also named Brian, who needed emergency heart surgery at Seattle Children’s Hospital when he was 4 years old.

As he grew up, he developed a strong interest in the arts, rather than sports. “There are See ARTS, Page A2

EVERETT — A veteran Snohomish County judge refused to show a child rapist any leniency, saying the Marysville man treated his 6-year-old stepdaughter like a “sex toy” when

he raped her and offered her up to other pedophiles.

Superior Court Judge Linda Krese on Wednesday sentenced the man to a minimum of 27 years in prison. The man, 57, will have to convince the state’s Indeterminate Sentence Review Board he is safe to be released.

If there’s alien life in the universe, where is it?

The Washington Post “The universe is apparently bulging at the seams with the ingredients of biology.”

So says Geoffrey Marcy, a University of California, Berkeley, astronomer and participant in Stephen Hawking’s $100 million search for alien life, announced Monday.

Marcy isn’t the only person who thinks so.

emeritus of the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence Institute, came up with an equation in 1961 for calculating the abundance of alien civilizations capable of communicating with us.

When he plugs modern data into the formula, the number he comes up with is 10,000. And that just includes the ones he thinks we can detect, once we have the right tools searching the right places.

Researchers examining data from NASA’s Kepler space telescope (including Marcy) announced in 2013 that they believe the Milky Way may harbor billions of planets that bear liquid water — a substance integral to the emergence of living things.

But if the universe is so full of the ingredients for alien life, why haven’t we found any yet? Or, more pertinently, considering

how young humans are (100,000 years) compared to the age of the universe (13.8 billion years), why haven’t any aliens found us?

There are three broad categories of explanations.

Those range from reasonable — intelligent life is sending out signals, we just don’t know how to listen — to seemingly absurd — Earth is just a “zoo” built by aliens to hold us for their entertainment. Some come

from astronomers and biologists, other from philosophers and economists.

Still others seem to have more in common with science fiction than science.

All of them are entertaining to think about, at least in the abstract sense.

1. We really are alone.

Earthlings may have to resign themselves to the fact that we’re on our own.

2. Life is out there, we just haven’t heard from it.

That said, there’s good

reason to believe that life on Earth is not unique.

3. They came, they saw, they conquered (or, disinterested in us puny humans, left us to our own pathetic devices).

Super-intelligent life might have already visited, but before humans were able to document it. They might even have left signs of their presence.

Or they are here, totally in control, and we just don’t know it.

Spotswood police said Jason Hubbard was charged with burglary in the incident,

which occurred in May but wasn’t made public until this week. He’s also charged with theft of services because he allegedly charged his four cellphones in an electrical

Mari’s Place continues to operate through grants and donations. “We are growing and it costs a lot of money,” she said. “Art is very expensive, with painting, brushes, paper, keyboards, saxophones, clarinets, violins, and guitars.” That’s in addition to dance classes, such as ballet, that are offered there.

“We buy all the equipment for the kids, such as shoes, and the parents sew the skirts for the dancing classes,” she said.

“I am really, really humbled,” she said of being selected for the ChangeMaker Award. “I just want to help the children in the community. That’s all I want to do. Anybody needs help, I’m here. I do what I can.”

Familias Unidas first began offering services at the South Everett Neighborhood Center in 2000.

“We saw the community growing with Latinos,” which is how the group grew out of the neighborhood center, said Sophia Beltran, a family support program manager.

Familias Unidas offers a variety of services. One program teaches elementary, middle and high school students about their heritage and allows them to meet artists, scientists and other professionals.

“We share the accomplishments of Latinos,” she said.

Adult classes are offered on parenting skills, citizenship, computer literacy and financial education.

Classes are offered in

Spanish on cooking, health and diabetes, in cooperation with Lynnwood’s Verdant Health Commission, she said.

Familias Unidas is developing a pilot program in Spanish with Seattle’s Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center on surviving cancer. It will serve men who have been treated for any type of cancer and for women who have been treated for breast cancer. It is expected to begin in the fall, she said.

Familias Unidas has helped provide low-cost and free mammograms to women through funding from the Susan G. Komen foundation.

The organization was nominated for the

by Tami Farber, a vice president of equity, advancement and global engagement for YMCA of Snohomish County.

Farber called Familias Unidas, a program of Lutheran Community Services NW, a critical organization for Snohomish County. “The staff is some of the most dedicated people I’ve experienced,” she said.

“They’re communityminded, civically engaged and about ensuring access to all people regardless of income status or anything that might be a barrier to someone having access to support services.”

last month to first-degree child rape and child molestation and possession of child pornography. Federal prosecutors are expected to charge him with producing child pornography.

As part of his agreement in Snohomish County, the man is expected to plead guilty to the federal charge.

He isn’t expected to serve additional prison time.

Law enforcement caught up with the couple during a multi-state child pornography investigation. Detectives in Florida uncovered evidence that the Marysville man was sending child pornography to a man in Texas. He had answered a Craigslist ad and the two exchanged email. The conversation centered on plans

to meet up in Marysville so the pair could sexually abuse the man’s 6-year-old daughter. They also talked about raping the Texas man’s daughter. The Marysville man wrote the Texas man that he and his wife had met up with other men and their young daughters.

The Texan was indicted on federal child pornography charges in his home state.

Detectives traced 190 Craigslist ads to the Marysville man’s email address.

They also recovered sexually explicit photographs of the girl. A video shows the girl being abused by an unknown man while her mother played a game on her phone.

Past Zumiez worker arrested for ID theft

By Eric Stevick Herald Writer

EVERETT — A former payroll employee for a popular Lynnwood-based specialty clothing retailer is accused of stealing more than $140,000 from the company.

Danielle Koehn, 37, was arrested for investigation of 28 counts of identity theft and booked into the Snohomish County Jail on Tuesday.

The Marysville woman is accused of using personal

information from other employees and former employees to create computer files used to activate pay-card accounts she then pilfered. The information she used included dates of birth and Social Security card numbers, according to allegations spelled out in a probable cause statement.

A payroll manager with Zumiez Inc. took the company’s concerns to the Lynnwood Police Department in March after discovering suspicious activity in its pay-card payroll

system. Zumiez has hundreds of stores across the United States and Canada. It sells clothing, footwear and accessories, catering to snow and skateboarders.

The company discovered 28 accounts that had been fraudulently created and funded.

An internal investigation showed that the fraud went back to 2012 and that the suspect allegedly had initiated many of the pay cards and paired them with pay-card account numbers.

When current and former employees were interviewed,

there was no evidence any of them knew or gave permission for the pay-card accounts to be created using their personal information, according to court papers.

Some of the accounts might have been started using a stolen password and log-in information belonging to the payroll manager, police wrote.

After obtaining a search warrant, police tracked withdrawals using the cards. The vast majority of transactions occurred at ATMs in Marysville. In a few

cases, the cards were used to buy merchandise under Koehn’s name.

Records also allegedly showed a phone number matching the suspect’s phone was used to tap into the fraudulent accounts.

The investigation is continuing and could lead to more theft allegations, Lynnwood police Sgt. Sean Doty said.

Koehn was arrested and taken into custody after a traffic stop in Marysville on Tuesday morning. She said little and requested a lawyer, court papers said.

Marysville police are reviewing the 2,233-page report, spokeswoman Bronlea Mishler said.

“No community should have to suffer this kind of loss,” Marysville Police Chief Rick Smith said. “Our focus is, and always has been, on preventing a tragedy like this from happening again. Our community and the families directly affected by this event are still healing, and it’s important for us to respect that fact as we move forward.”

Jaylen Fryberg, 15, opened fire inside one of the high school’s

hese days Jay Inslee might be America’s most frustrated governor. And we may soon find out how much more frustration — and stomachache — he can take.

He wrote a book on the clear and present danger presented by carbon and its gaseous relative, carbon dioxide, to alter climate, and various means by which to combat those potent forces.

Yet well into his third year at the state’s helm, the Democrat governor is still without a signature policy achievement in his personal and political crusade. That’s got to smart for a true believer with his green bonafides.

The winless streak is not for lack of effort. He’s simply been foiled by members of his party as well as his GOP opponents.

This year Inslee boldly proposed a cap-and-trade auction system intended to generate billions of dollars while simultaneously forcing the state’s largest polluters to curb emissions of damaging pollutants.

But the pragmatic leader of the Democrat-controlled House and the Republican majority in the Senate stymied Inslee, providing the rookie executive an instructive reminder of the difficulty of legislating big ideas in Olympia.

Inslee also desires to see the state adopt a new rule requiring cleaner burning, low-carbon fuels.

He could bypass lawmakers and order this be done by executive order but he’s thus far refrained.

Republicans hate this idea. To pre-emptively thwart him, they tacked a provision onto the $16 billion transportation revenue package that said if he goes forward with the low-carbon fuel standard then over time about $700 million would be shifted out of accounts for buses, bike paths and sidewalks and instead directed toward road projects.

Inslee calls it a “poison pill” but signed the transportation bill anyway. He is now considering swallowing that pill and spent the past week gauging opinions

(From left) Sam Wilson, Kit Lange, Eric Perez, Mike Chism and David Weston talk outside of the military recruitment center near Everett Mall Way where several private citizens showed up Wednesday to offer their protection to military recruiters working in the center.

Armed citizens ‘guard’ recruiting center Volunteers said they were looking to have a presence, but not cause a ruckus.

By Kari Bray Herald Writer

EVERETT — George Svihus walked up and shook Chris Murphy’s hand in front of the boxy beige building that houses the U.S. military’s local recruiting center.

“My son called and said there was just one guy sitting out here and I thought, ‘I can fix that,’ ” Svihus said.

It was a little after 3 p.m.

Wednesday and Murphy had been seated in a camping chair on the sidewalks in front of the recruiters’ offices since 9:30 a.m.

A handgun in a holster was visible on his hip.

Murphy planned to stay outside the recruiting center until they closed for the day. He welcomed Svihus’ company.

The two Everett men, one an Army veteran and the other a selfproclaimed “old hippie,” came out to the center across the street from the Everett Mall to volunteer as armed guards, they said.

Four Marines and one Navy sailor were killed last week in Chattanooga, Tenn., after a shooter opened fire at a Navy and Marine reserve center. Earlier he’d shot at a military recruiting center although nobody was hit.

Armed volunteers have shown up at multiple recruiting offices

around Washington this week, saying they want to protect the current and future service members inside. Military rules do not allow recruiters to carry firearms in the office.

“All these future heroes need to be able to come in here and feel safe,” Murphy said. “I know they’re all big boys and can protect themselves, but they shouldn’t have to.”

MARYSVILLE — Nearly nine months after the deadly shootings at Marysville Pilchuck High School, detectives have completed their investigation, officials said Wednesday.

Investigators with the Snohomish County Multi-Agency Response Team are recommending no criminal charges related to

the gunfire because the shooter is dead, spokeswoman Shari Ireton said.

Other details about what detectives learned regarding the Oct. 24 violence are contained in reports, which aren’t expected to become available until later under public records law. That may not start to happen until late August, shortly before the start of the school year.

“There’s never going to be a good time,” said Nancy Hawley, a mental health professional who has been working with students since the shootings.

difficult for some students and a reminder of the trauma they suffered in October. At least when the investigation is released, the students will soon be returning to school where they’ll have support, said Hawley, who works for Victim Support Services.

She also said the investigation may squash rumors that have been circulating since the shootings.

“The one question it isn’t going to answer is, ‘Why?’ ” Hawley said.

“No one can get into (the shooter’s) head, and that’s going to be hard.”

Svihus’ family has a history of military service, though he did not enlist.

He’s a proponent of responsible gun ownership, he said, and he opposes the rule that stops recruiters from carrying weapons. Any military location should

Gold Dust Days celebrate history of Sky Valley ....

By Amy Nile Herald Writer

GOLD BAR — A former mayor here is putting a new spin on the town’s old-timey festival.

Gold Dust Days, a celebration of Sky Valley history and the area’s mining heritage, kicks off Friday and continues through the weekend.

Former Mayor Joe Beavers is renewing vows to his wife, Anne, after 50 years of marriage in full-period costume at a Civil War encampment set up for festival.

Re-enactors from the Washington Civil War Association will create a representation of the 1861 Navy gunboat, the USS Tahoma, in U.S. 2 Park.

The ship’s Captain Ernie Sherrill will perform the vow renewal ceremony, complete with cannons

firing, an honor guard, a hand-tinted Civil War-era marriage certificate and soldiers crossing swords for the couple to walk under as they exit.

The Gold Bar City Council passed a resolution that allows the re-enactors to use U.S. 2 Park as “international waters,” Beavers said. It permits the firing of cannons and muskets in the park during the festival. The captain also has the authority to renew the couple’s vows.

“It’s just part of the fun.

If we’re going to have a gunboat with a captain, it needs to be in international waters,” said Joe Beavers, 72, who served as the town’s mayor from 2009 to 2013.

He met Anne, 71, at John B. Hood Junior High School in Dallas, which was named for a Confederate general.

The couple moved to Gold Bar in 2005 after they retired. Joe Beavers said they’ve managed to stay together for more than 50

years because they both have “poor memories.”

“When we have a fight or a spat, after a while, we can’t remember what we’re mad about,” he said. “That’s worked well for us.”

Another Sky Valley couple, Dave and Christina Sivewright, will be the grand marshals for the Gold Dust Days parade, which is which is scheduled to roll down Lewis Avenue at 10 a.m. Saturday.

Dave Sivewright is the Army Sgt. 1st Class who can often be seen running along U.S. 2 in uniform carrying a large American flag. His wife, Christina, is known for her patriotic project, raising money to line Sultan’s Main Street with stars and stripes.

Sky Valley Chamber of Commerce Director Debbie Copple said she expects at least 6,000 visitors during Gold Dust Days. There’s old-fashioned activities, such as panning for gold, gunny sack races and hay

wagon rides.

The festival opens at 4 p.m. Friday with a street fair. Kids can decorate their bicycles to ride in the bicycle parade led by Mayor Linda Loen at 6 p.m. Friday.

After the grand parade Saturday, there’s activities scheduled throughout the day, including pony rides, the Civil War re-enactment, drag races the Gold Dust Days royalty performances, a water ball contest, live music and a car show.

All-terrain vehicles will be allowed on Gold Bar streets on Saturday.

This year’s car show is in honor of Dennis Blansett, who established the Gold Dust Days contest. He died in March.

The show boasts a new “young gun” category that allows those 21 or younger to enter any car they’re working on this year.

“They’re encouraging young people to bring out their project cars,” Copple said. “It doesn’t have to be a show car.”

Proceeds from the show will benefit a scholarship set up to honor Blansett, a longtime teacher.

Gold Dust Days continues until 3 p.m. Sunday with the street fair, activities and the renewal of vows ceremony at the Civil War encampment.

of others in what aides describe as a “listening tour.”

David Postman, Inslee’s communications director, said the governor does not have a timetable for a decision.

“The governor is exploring whether it is possible to make progress on fighting carbon pollution and fund multi-modal projects,” he said in an email.

“He’s met with lawmakers, transit and bike advocates, seniors, environmentalists, business people and others.”

Those meetings began in earnest July 16 — the day after the bill signing — during a conference call with liberal Democrats including Rep. Joe Fitzgibbon, D-Seattle, and Sen. Kevin Ranker, D-Orcas Island.

That same day he spoke with Democrats involved in crafting the transportation package, including Rep. Judy Clibborn, D-Mercer Island, and Sen. Steve Hobbs, D-Lake Stevens.

Since then, Inslee’s met or spoken with the King County executive, Seattle mayor, transit and biking advocates, environmentalists and labor leaders.

On Tuesday, Inslee met in Seattle with representatives of cities, counties and ports. He also spoke with leaders of the Association of Washington Business, and, in separate phone calls, with Republican Sens. Curtis King of Yakima and Joe Fain of Auburn.

Participants are reluctant to share details of the talks. Some say they are convinced Inslee’s made up his mind to swallow the pill. Others believe he’s thoroughly balancing the costs and benefits.

Several people, including Democratic lawmakers, reportedly told Inslee not to do it. They argued that he amassed valuable political capital by appearing to set aside his agenda when he signed the bill with the GOP provision.

All that good will disappears if he decides to seek a new fuel standard, they said.

Backers of expanded bus service and bike ways fumed at Inslee for simply bringing up the idea. It took three years of negotiations to get a package passed and they stand to lose millions of dollars if he goes forward.

And there’s a political element too. If Inslee proceeds, the debate on a fuel standard is injected into the 2016 legislative session — where Republicans will certainly attempt to stop him — and the elections. It may not hurt his re-election but it might damage incumbent House Democrats in rural areas and swing districts. If a couple of them are unseated, Democrats would lose control of the House because it’s that close.

On the other hand, what’s Inslee got to lose at this point? He’s made no headway on the centerpieces of his climate change crusade.

He can’t get enough Democrats to promise they’ll go to the mat on his behalf in 2016.

If he must do it alone, why not go for it and draw a bright line in the political sands — if he’s got the stomach for it?

OBITUARIES AND MEMORIALS

Joyce E. Deach Tisdel born

to Maria and Delbert Deach in Bellingham, Wash. on December 14, 1929; passed away on July 17, 2015 in Everett, Wash.

Joyce was a cheerleader at Cashmere High School where she graduated in the top of her class. She grew up in eastern Washington a n d t h e fa m i l y m ove d to Snohomish County in the late ‘40s. On December 31, 1953 Joyce married her husband of 61 years, Don “Tiz” Tisdel in Seattle, Wash.

She was a wonderful homemaker and provider for the family taking care of all the details. She loved her time with the grandchildren and great grandchildren: camping, swimming, biking and horse riding or anything else that they wanted to do; and making sure higher education was an option to them. A master seamstress, she made a lot of the family clothes including a wedding dress for a neighborhood girl.

J oyc e a l way s h a d a h ot meal for Tiz; no matter what time he made it home from a long day’s work. She also enjoyed keeping the books for their business, Tiz’s Door Sales in Everett, founded in 1966. As Tiz says, “they wouldn’t have made it without her.”

She was a great role model and mentor to us all.

She was a long time active member of the Everett Elks Emblem Club and was president in 1989-1990. She was involved in many committees such as the Vete r a n ’ s h o s p i t a l b i n g o , s p e c i a l p e o p l e ’ s p a r t y, camping club and a major donor to the Tall Elks. She was also ivolved in the Womens’ Auxilary of V.F.W., Assistance League of Everett, and was a founder family of the Greater Everett Community Foundation.

Joyce loved to travel and RV with friends and family all over the US and aboard; enjoyed many trips to Reno; and cruises to many places; as well as spending time at their home in Palm Desert.

Years back she suffered a stroke that lef t her blind.

She continued to have her determination, a positive attitude, compassion and zeal she always had. Never once did she let it get her down.

She always had a positive outlook every day, no matter how tough they were. Her daily visits by dad were always cherished times to her.

She loved the many mini trips visiting friends, family and old places she had grown up and visited through the years where she could remember what they looked like before losing her sight.

The conversations she would have were as she never had lost her sight. She was a trooper through all that she went through in this time of her life.

Joyce is sur vived by her husband, Don “Tiz” Tisdel; t h e i r s o n s a n d d a u g h te r : Sam, Mike, Greg and Taryn; 12 grandchildren and 12

GOP challenges Iran nuke deal

By David Espo and Deb Riechmann Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Backed

by Israel, Republicans on Wednesday forcefully challenged President Barack Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran as the White House dispatched a Cabinet-level lobbying team to build support for the agreement to ease sanctions in exchange for concessions on the Islamic nation’s nuclear program.

There were scattered Democratic concerns, as well, after classified briefings from Secretary of State John Kerry, although it was unclear how widespread the opposition was in Obama’s own party.

According to lawmakers emerging from the briefings, Kerry said the international coalition behind existing sanctions will collapse no matter what Congress decides. Given its significance, the point is likely to be aired extensively Thursday when the secretary testifies at a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing.

Republicans made plain their skepticism even before Kerry and Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz arrived for

There are tougher sanctions that will bring Iran to the table for a better deal and a good deal.

— Se. John Cornyn, R-Texas

the meetings.

“No serious person truly believes” that the United States faces a choice between implementing the agreement and going to war with Iran, said Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., rebutting statements from Obama.

Sen. John Cornyn, of Texas, the second ranking GOP leader, noted the deal did not require the dismantling of Tehran’s nuclear infrastructure, and said, “There are tougher sanctions that will bring Iran to the table for a better deal and a good deal.”

Across the Capitol, Israeli Ambassador Ron Dermer met privately with several House Republicans. One participant in the meeting, Rep. Dave Brat of Virginia, said the diplomat’s main point had been to “pay less attention to all the details” like nuclear centrifuges, and more attention to “who’s on

the other side of the ethical debate, and that is Iran.” Tehran is opposed to the existence of Israel.

Taken together, the day’s events marked the beginning of the administration’s formal attempt to secure enough votes to sustain a veto of Republicancrafted legislation that would torpedo the agreement.

The deal does not need congressional approval to take effect, but Republicans are expected to try and sink it with legislation that would block Obama from lifting sanctions lawmakers have previously put in place. The president has vowed to veto any such bill, and it would take a two-thirds majority in each house of the Republican-controlled Congress to override him.

As a result, the prospect is for a two-month campaign by the administration to find at least 34 senators or 146 House

members to prevent a veto override. House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of California, an announced supporter of the deal, has expressed optimism that the White House can prevail.

But other Democrats had complaints in Kerry’s wake.

“I would appreciate if the secretary really showed a little more respect for members of Congress,” said Rep. Dan Lipinski, of Illinois.

Among Republicans, Rep. Mike Pompeo, of Kansas, complained about side issues between Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency. He quoted Kerry as saying the U.S. is just going to have to “trust” the IAEA, and added, “I just find that completely unacceptable and I don’t see how a member of Congress can vote for an agreement not knowing the full scope of what the agreement actually is.”

In a statement issued Monday, Pompeo and Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., said that in a recent meeting with IAEA officials, they had been told that two side deals “will remain secret, and will not be shared with other nations, with Congress or with the public.”

President to revisit father’s homeland

By Julie Pace Associated Press

WASHINGTON — When Barack Obama visited Kenya for the first time nearly 30 years ago, he was astonished that an airport worker recognized his last name.

It was a striking experience for a young man — and future American president — struggling to understand how a country he had never seen and a Kenyan family he barely knew had shaped his identity.

“My name belonged and so I belonged, drawn into a web of relationships, alliances, and grudges I did not yet understand,” Obama wrote in his memoir, “Dreams From My Father,” about the airport encounter.

This week, Obama will make his first visit to Kenya as U.S. president, a trip that will bear little resemblance to the 1988 one, when he arrived aboard commercial flight and his luggage got lost. Now, Air Force One will take Obama to a country where children, roads and schools now bear his name, and the world leader is seen as a local son.

Yet traveling with the trappings of the presidency appears likely to diminish the fulfillment of a trip to his father’s homeland.

“I’ll be honest with you, visiting Kenya as a private citizen is probably more meaningful to me than visiting as president because I can actually get outside of a hotel room or a conference center,” he said last week, adding that his trip still would be “symbolically important.”

Security concerns and the logistics of presidential travel will keep Obama at a distance from most Kenyans. He will skip a visit to Kogelo, the rural village in western Kenya where his father was born and buried, and where his stepgrandmother and other family members still live.

Obama’s two days of events will be confined to Nairobi, the capital where he will meet with Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta, attend the Global Entrepreneurship Summit, and speak to civil society leaders. On Sunday, he will go to Ethiopia.

Despite the limits on Obama’s movement and interactions with the Kenyan people, his visit is highly anticipated in the East African nation. Even as a U.S. senator, he was greeted by cheering crowds when he made his last visit to Kenya, in 2006.

Customers walk past a cardboard cutout of Obama in the entrance of the Cafe Deli in downtown Nairobi, Kenya, on Wednesday.

Friday, some Kenyans have adopted a rousing segment of an Obama speech as their cellphone ringtone.

U.S. and Kenyan flags lined the road leading from Nairobi’s

main airport.

Obama’s visit is like “a brother coming back,” said Nelly Ngugu, customer relations manager at a Nairobi cafe.

Before Obama’s travel plans

were announced, there had been some disappointment that the U.S. president who has written and spoken emotionally of his Kenyan roots had not returned since taking office.

Analysts questioned whether America’s first black president was missing an opportunity to give Africa more prominence in U.S. foreign policy.

Much of Obama’s international focus in his first term was on strengthening ties with Asia and trying to reset U.S. policy in the Middle East. His only visit to sub-Saharan Africa during his first four years in office was a short stop in Ghana.

At the time, there was persistent and inaccurate speculation that he was born in Kenya, not the United States.

Some political opponents tried to use the rumors to undercut Obama’s eligibility for president. As late as 2011, a CBS/ New York Times poll showed that one-quarter of all Americans believed Obama was not born in the U.S. Obama’s re-election raised renewed hopes for a visit to Kenya, but the political situation there complicated those plans.

Kenyatta, the son of the country’s first president, was elected president in 2013, but faced charges in the International Criminal Court stemming from his alleged role in stoking ethnic violence following Kenya’s troubled 2007 election.

“The timing was not right for me as the president of the United States to be visiting Kenya when those issues are still being worked on and, hopefully, at some point resolved,” Obama said of his decision to pass over Kenya in favor of South Africa, Tanzania and Senegal during a 2013 trip to Africa.

The charges against Kenyatta were ultimately dropped, clearing the way for Obama to finally visit his father’s home country as president. With his arrival now imminent, the earlier disappointment appears to have faded, overtaken by anticipation and national pride.

In Kogelo, the Obama family’s home village, the family’s aging matriarch said even she would not feel bad if the president did not visit her. Sarah Obama, who Obama referred to as “Granny” in his memoir, said the president was coming to Kenya “to discharge his duty.

“He is a son here,” said the elder Obama, who was the second wife of the president’s grandfather. “I cannot be angered by him not coming to see me.”

ACROSS THE U.S.

Chattanooga gunman acted alone, FBI says CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — The gunman who killed five U.S. troops acted alone without help from anyone else, and investigators are treating him as a “homegrown violent extremist,” the FBI said Wednesday.

However, it is too early to determine whether Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez was “radicalized” before the July 15 attacks at two military sites, said Ed Reinhold, the FBI’s special agent in charge in Knoxville. Abdulazeez died after a gunfight with Chattanooga police. The entire attack lasted no more than five minutes, Reinhold said.

No to arming servicemen The Pentagon on Thursday came out squarely against giving weapons to every service member on a domestic military installation despite a growing clamor in Congress for such a step in the wake of the Tennessee shooting rampage. Navy Capt. Jeff Davis, a Pentagon spokesman, said Defense Secretary Ashton Carter is awaiting recommendations from the five military services on fortifying their recruiting centers and domestic bases following the July 15 assault that left six people dead — four Marines, a Navy corpsman and the shooter, Youssef Abdulazeez — at a naval reserve center in Chattanooga.

Mo.: Black police chief Ferguson city leaders introduced a new interim police chief Wednesday, tasking the black police commander from Arizona with building trust between residents of the predominantly black St. Louis suburb and its mostly white officers, nearly a year since Michael Brown’s death. Andre Anderson, 50, starts in Ferguson on Thursday, essentially on six-month loan from the Phoenix suburb of Glendale, Arizona. Anderson had an inside track for his new gig — Ed Beasley, a black man recently hired as Ferguson’s interim city manager — had been Glendale’s city manager.

S.C.: Hate-crime charges The man accused of killing nine black church members last month in Charleston was indicted Wednesday on 33 federal counts, including hate crimes, firearms violations and obstructing the practice of religion, which could include the death penalty. Attorney General Loretta Lynch announced the federal grand jury indictments of Dylann Roof, 21. Roof was arrested following the June 17 shootings at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church. Prosecutors have not said whether they will seek the death penalty against Roof, who is white.

D.C.: Disability fund thins The government says people who receive Social Security disability face steep benefit cuts next year unless Congress acts. In a report Wednesday, the trustees that oversee Social Security said the disability trust fund will run out of money in 2016, right in the middle of a presidential campaign. That would trigger an automatic 19 percent cut in benefits. Congress could shift tax revenue from Social Security’s much larger retirement fund. But Republicans say they want changes in the program to reduce fraud and to encourage disabled workers to re-enter the work force.

AROUND THE WORLD China: Ai gets passport Ai Weiwei has gotten back his passport four years after it was confiscated

by Chinese authorities and is expected to attend a London exhibition this fall.

The artist and government critic posted an Instagram photo Wednesday of himself holding a Chinese passport with the caption, “Today, I got my passport.” Ai was detained by authorities for about three months in 2011 but not charged.

His design firm later was slapped with a $2.4 million tax bill, which he fought unsuccessfully in Chinese courts.

Britain: Quran parchment The University of Birmingham disclosed Wednesday that scientific tests prove a Quran manuscript in its collection is one of the oldest known and may have been written close to the time of the Prophet Muhammad. The announcement thrilled Muslim scholars and the local community. Radiocarbon testing dated the parchment to the time of the prophet, who is generally believed to have lived between 570 and 632.

Greece tackles final reform hurdle

By Menelaos Hadjicostis and Nicholas Paphitis Associated Press

ATHENS, Greece — Greek lawmakers held a whirlwind debate into the early hours Thursday on further reforms demanded by international creditors in return for a third multi-billion-euro bailout, with attention focusing on government rebels who oppose the measures.

Despite the revolt in Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras’ own party, parliament is expected to approve the draft legislation in the second such crucial vote in a week — and again with broad support from pro-eurozone opposition parties. Failure to do

so would derail the bailout and rekindle fears over Greece’s future in the shared euro currency.

As with last week’s vote, Tsipras’ main problem lies with hard-line lawmakers in his party, many of whom see the reforms as a betrayal of the anti-austerity platform that brought their Syriza party to power in January.

Addressing parliament, Tsipras said the reforms were a necessary price to pay to keep Greece alive after stormy talks with its creditors nearly collapsed earlier this month.

“We have chosen a compromise that forces us to implement a program in which we do not believe, and we will implement it because the alternatives are

tough,” he told lawmakers. “We are summoned today to legislate under a state of emergency.”

Tsipras also ruled out resigning.

Tsipras said approval would give Greece breathing room to quash speculation that the country will be forced to abandon the euro, and help it regain market confidence and eventually tap bond markets again.

Negotiations with creditors are expected to start soon after the latest package of reforms is approved.

The radical left-led government hopes the new bailout talks can conclude before Aug. 20, when Greece must repay a debt worth more than 3 billion euros ($3.3 billion) to the European Central

Bank.

On Wednesday, the ECB provided a new vital cash injection to Greece’s battered banks. A European banking official told The Associated Press the ECB decided to increase emergency liquidity to Greek banks by 900 million euros ($980 million) — the second such cash injection in just under a week.

Fearing a run by depositors flocking to take their savings out of Greek banks, the government imposed capital controls more than three weeks ago, restricting daily withdrawals to 60 euros ($65) per account holder. Extra ECB liquidity means that Greek banks will still be able to hand out cash.

Verdict’s still out for Apple Watch

By Barbara Ortutay Associated Press

NEW YORK — For all those who hailed the iPhone as the “Jesus Phone” in 2007, the Apple Watch’s arrival has hardly been the second coming.

Sure, it can do many useful, even delightful things, such as showing incoming texts and email, tracking heart rates during exercise or sending digital doodles to friends. But is that enough to spend $350 or more, especially when it requires wearing a watch while still carrying an iPhone around?

Early Apple Watch owners seem generally happy with it, but Apple’s bigger worry should be those on the sidelines — even hardcore Apple fans, not to mention everybody else — who are waiting to take the plunge.

The wait-and-see attitude is not exactly helping investor sentiment. Apple hasn’t released Apple Watch sales figures, but the company’s quarterly financial report Tuesday suggests that they were lower than many Wall Street analysts expected, though Apple said they exceeded internal projections.

A bigger worry for investors: iPhone sales, which at $31 billion account for more than half of Apple’s business.

IPhone sales are still growing rapidly, but the pace of growth is slowing. Worries about the iPhone’s momentum sent Apple’s stock down nearly 5 percent, knocking about $36 billion off the company’s market capitalization.

Among people holding off on the watch, some say they are waiting for early kinks to be worked out and others, for an “aha moment.”

“It’s been cast as a want, not a need,” said Matt Quick, a Topeka,

KIN CHEUNG / ASSOCIATED PRESS

A customer tries on an Apple Watch at an Apple Store on April 10 in Hong Kong.

Kansas, engineer and Apple fan who is holding off on getting one.

“I’m kind of waiting to see what next year’s model will bring.”

Patrick Clayton, who has had Mac computers all his life and owns an iPhone and several iPads, returned his Apple Watch after three weeks. The last straw?

It nagged the physically active New Yorker to stand up during a six-hour flight.

“Apple is famous for telling us what we need before we need them,” Clayton said. “I thought this would be the case with the watch. But it (just) added something to my life that I didn’t need added.”

That’s not to say the Apple Watch is a bomb. For one, it’s too soon to tell. Expectations are so high that it’s easy to forget, as Apple said, that the watch actually sold better in its first 9 weeks than the iPhone and the iPad did when those came out.

Most analysts and tech reviewers, including The Associated Press, see promise, especially compared with rival

smartwatches from Samsung and others. Wristly, a research company created to study the watch, found that early buyers are overwhelmingly satisfied, more so than with the original iPad and iPhone.

And of the more than a dozen early Apple Watch owners interviewed by the AP, most of them love their watch. After all, early adopters of new technologies tend to understand that what they’re getting isn’t perfect.

“I’d recommend it to people with an open mind,” said Dennis Falkenstein of Danville, California. He said the watch gets him “everything I want” such as local temperature, or the current time in Japan, where many of his business clients are.

But even so, there’s a long wish list, including smarter apps.

Apple is already addressing some of this with a software update this fall. Falkenstein would also like to see the battery life improve from the 18 hours that’s currently promised.

Connected wirelessly to an

iPhone, the Apple Watch isn’t meant to replace the phone, but rather provide tidbits of information readily while the phone is in a pocket or purse.

There’s no keyboard, so searches and messages are done by voice dictation or the selection of a canned response.

Apple Watch also doesn’t always provide the right information at the right time. The watch version of one transit app offers bus schedules for your saved locations — even if they are far away — rather than the stops closest to you at the moment, as the phone app does. As for message notifications, it’s great when it’s from someone you want to hear from — but annoying when it’s not.

It’ll take time for apps to anticipate what users need most.

Apps will get better when Apple updates the watch’s software this fall to permit more “native” apps — those that aren’t just extensions of phone apps. Some apps could even work without the phone nearby, including games, audio recorders and tools that analyze golf swings.

Apple also needs to ensure that the watch gets the types of essential “killer apps” that propelled the iPhone into an extension of ourselves. For now, it’s sometimes easier to just pull out the phone, and there’s no app you absolutely need the watch for. With phones, you now have maps, cameras and other essentials.

It might be hard to remember, but the first iPhone in 2007 was just a little more than a phone.

Apps from outside companies didn’t come until Apple launched its app store the following year — with just 500 apps.

Now, it has more than a million.

Railroads warned to comply with oil train rule

By Curtis Tate McClatchy Washington Bureau

biz bits

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Transportation has warned railroads that they must continue to notify states of large crude oil shipments after several states reported not getting updated information for as long as a year.

The department imposed the requirement in May 2014 following a series of fiery oil train derailments. It was designed to help state and local emergency officials assess their risk and training needs.

In spite of increased public

concern about the derailments, railroads have opposed the public release of the oil train information by numerous states.

Two companies sued Maryland in July 2014 to prevent the state from releasing the oil train data to McClatchy.

The rail industry fought to have the requirement dropped, and it appeared it got its wish three months ago in the department’s new oil train rule.

But facing backlash from lawmakers, firefighters and some states, the department announced it would continue to enforce the notification requirement indefinitely and take new

There have been six major oil train derailments in North America this year, the most recent last week near Culbertson, Montana. While that derailment only resulted in a spill, others in Ontario, West Virginia, Illinois and North Dakota involved fires, explosions and evacuations.

In a letter to the companies Wednesday, Sarah Feinberg, the acting chief of the Federal Railroad Administration, told them that the notifications were “crucial” to first responders and state and local officials in developing emergency plans.”

“We strongly support

The Snohomish County PUD plans new improvements this year, including building three substations. Several other substations will be upgraded.

The PUD also plans to replace about 900 aging poles and up to

50 miles of aging underground cable. About 100 miles of direct buried cable will be tested and roughly 10,000 poles will be assessed and treated.

A new interactive map on the Washington State Department of Commerce’s marketing website, ChooseWashington.com, lets users to explore

transparency and public notification to the fullest extent possible,” she wrote. “And we understand the public’s interest in knowing what is traveling through their communities.”

California, Washington and Illinois have received updated reports regularly from BNSF Railway.

Most of the oil is light, sweet crude from North Dakota’s Bakken region and is produced by hydraulic fracturing of shale rock.

Shell receives Arctic permits WASHINGTON — The Obama administration has approved permits necessary for Royal Dutch Shell PLC to begin limited exploratory oil drilling off Alaska’s northwest coast. The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement said it issued “conditional approval” of two permits for drilling in the Chukchi Sea. The permits are for drilling only on the top sections of wells. Shell can’t drill into oil-bearing zones at this stage because it doesn’t currently have certain emergency response equipment on site.

Ex-Im Bank renewal President Barack Obama warned Congress on Wednesday that American businesses are suffering while the ExportImport Bank lapses, and called on lawmakers to reauthorize the bank within days. With Congress nearing its annual August recess, Obama said the U.S. “cannot leave these businesses hanging” by punting a vote to renew the bank until after Congress returns.

No revenge porn Revenge porn — when someone, usually a spurned ex, shares private and sexual images of another person online without that person’s consent — is on the rise, and Internet companies including Google and Reddit have tried to combat it. Now Microsoft says that, when it is notified by a victim, it will remove links to photos and videos from search results in Bing and remove access to the content itself when shared on OneDrive or Xbox Live.

Ikea and government warn about dressers After Ikea chests tipped over and killed two children, including a 23-month-old Snohomish boy, safety regulators say consumers should stop using Ikea’s dressers and chests for children unless the products are mounted to a wall. The Swedish furniture giant is offering a free kit to help consumers do that. The kit will be available to consumers who bought 27 million chests and dressers, including 7 million Malm chests.

Rhapsody at 3M Rhapsody International, the operator of the Rhapsody and Napster streaming music services, says it has surpassed 3 million paying subscribers globally. The gain from about 2 million a year ago represents the fastest growth in the Seattle-based company’s 13-year history.

Anti-hacker software Fiat Chrysler Automobiles on Wednesday released a software update for thousands of its vehicles after two professional hackers took command of a 2014 Jeep Cherokee while it was driving. The hacking incident was reported in Wired magazine Monday. Fiat Chrysler said the software updates will be available for free to the UConnect systems in 201314 Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram vehicles, and some models of the 2015 Chrysler 200.

Betting on a market for instant jello shots Bloomberg News To Jeff Jetton, the four hours it takes to make jello shots is an eternity — and an opportunity.

Bars love selling the jiggly, alcohol-infused confections because they’re money makers. But no bartender or sous-chef likes boiling water, mixing the powder, adding the booze, and then . . . waiting. And making more at midnight after you sell out isn’t an option, so you end up leaving money in partiers’ pockets.

Jetton, a serial entrepreneur who’s started and sold

contract concessions from Boeing, but there is no risk to its order for 179 tankers by 2027, analysts say.

Quietly moving to production early has happened before. Boeing began assembling its P-8, a submarinehunting plane based on the 737, before the Navy gave it the go-ahead.

Starting production early gives Boeing more time to manage any unforeseen complications.

Boeing “has virtually no margin for error” if it’s going to deliver the first 18 tankers by August 2017, said Ken Herbert, a stock analyst with Canaccord Genuity, in a research note sent to clients. He rates the company’s stock as “buy.”

“Boeing has no choice but to start to produce more aircraft prior to the Air Force” production decision, Herbert said.

Muilenburg assured analysts that Boeing would deliver the planes on time.

two companies, says he and co-founder Tyler Williams, a former bar owner, have the answer: a hightech machine the size of a large microwave that turns out a tray of 20 shots in just 10 minutes. It’s taken them three years, and $3 million of the $4.2 million in venture capital they’ve raised, to turn slow-setting gelatin into fast food, but they’re just about ready for launch.

They aim to ship the first commercial machine in March.

“There was no innovation around gelatin,” Jetton, 49, says in an interview at his office just south of

Portland, Oregon. On the other side of a glass wall, one of his eight employees fiddles with tubes, wires, clear plastic containers and batteries, simplifying the prototype machine for production. “We started with a yellow pad of paper.”

Jetton and Williams say their machine, called the Jevo, will do for gelatin what Keurig did for coffee, and make them a fortune in the process. Keurig, now called Keurig Green Mountain, became the envy of the food-and-beverage business in about 2009 when sales of its singleserving brewing system

took off.

The company sells coffee makers yet makes most of its money on the little plastic K-Cups, which caffeine fiends pop into the brewers by the billion each year. In the fiscal year that ended in September, it sold 9.8 billion K-Cups, reaping $3.6 billion in revenue, up 13 percent from the previous year.

Like Keurig, Jetton’s company, Food + Beverage Innovations, plans to make money on gelatin flavor “pods,” not the machines.

A pod, enough to make 20 shots, is about the size of a single- serving yogurt. Just

drop one in the machine, add water and booze, and hit a button. Ten minutes later, you have a tray of chilly gelatin shots.

Jetton plans to make his jello shots without Jell-O brand gelatin. (The term “jello shot” refers to spiked gelatin, regardless of who makes the raw material.)

Jetton is sourcing his gelatin through Jel Sert, which produces Otter Pops and Royal Gelatin, and makes Jevo’s powdered mix in 17 flavors.

Kraft Heinz, maker of Jell-O, isn’t a fan. Spokesman Michael Mullen says “Jevo” is an infringement.

“Kraft Heinz (is) not associated with this company and they are using our trademark without our consent,” Mullen said in an email.

Jetton is undaunted: “If they have an issue with us they can call or send us a letter.”

Jetton says 2,500 bars, restaurants, casinos, and cruise ships are considering a Jevo machine. He’s working with spirits giant Beam Suntory on promotions. Hennessey’s Tavern Inc., a company with 17 restaurants in California and Nevada, is signed up to be one of Jetton’s first customers.

“We have our arms around this,” he said.

Two factors drove up the cost of the fuel system rework. It is the last major system to be installed on the airplane, so having to work around the other systems added to the cost.

Also, the fixes had to be applied to the four test airplanes and the two in initial production, he said.

The KC-46 is based on the 767, but it has a new fuel system with much larger capacity compared to other 767-based tankers Boeing has made for military forces in Japan and Italy.

The KC-46 can carry 212,299 pounds of fuel versus about 160,000 pounds on the earlier 767 tankers. The KC-46’s boom can transfer 1,200 gallons per minute to another aircraft.

The earlier tanker’s boom can do about 900 gallons per minute. The KC-46 also has four more internal fuel tanks.

“The components are larger, more complex. It’s an entirely different system than on the 767,” said an industry insider, who spoke on the condition of

anonymity because he was talking about details he had not been authorized to publicly discuss.

Muilenburg said executing development programs on time and budget is a risk that the company will have to handle during his tenure.

“I think the tanker is a good reminder to us to hone (in) on that effort,” he said.

The company plans to increase 767 production to two planes a month next year, and could consider further rate increases after that, he said.

FedEx this week announced an order for 50 767 freighters, the biggest single order in the widebody airplane’s history.

The aerospace giant could consider rate decreases for current production 777 models in 2016, he said.

The 777 has been a cash cow for Boeing, but it is being replaced by the 777X, which begins production in 2018 and is expected to enter service with airlines in 2020.

Delivery slots for current 777s are full through 2016

and more than half filled for 2017. Boeing has added 44 orders and commitments for the jetliner this year, and several sales campaigns are going on now, Muilenburg said.

The company continues to spend more making 787 Dreamliners than it collects from customers, about $23 million per plane based on financial data released Wednesday. That’s the average amount the company pushes into the future on each 787, using an accounting measure called deferred production costs.

The 787 program’s deferred costs rose $790 million last quarter to a total of $27.7 billion, a 2.9 percent increase. That is partially due to inventory increases ahead of next year’s production rate increase to 12 airplanes a month, a 20 percent jump.

That is consistent with many analysts’ expectations, which include deferred costs peaking at between $28 billion and $29 billion. That amount does not include the plane’s development costs, between $15 billion and $20 billion.

Deferred costs are expected to rise into 2016.

Per unit cost has already fallen 35 percent over the last 210 787-8 deliveries, and by 30 percent in the first 34 787-9 deliveries.

Lessons learned on the 787-8 helped bring costs down faster on the bigger 787-9, Boeing Chief Financial Officer Greg Smith said.

The growth rate for deferred costs will drop significantly in the last three months of the year, and the program will break even on a per unit basis in 2016, he said.

Wednesday’s call was Muilenburg’s first since taking over July 1 from his predecessor, Jim McNerney, who was also on the call.

Muilenburg said the priorities during his tenure are first, investing in innovation, then returning cash to shareholders, and finally, when it makes sense, acquisitions.

Overall, he stressed continuity with Boeing’s recent leadership. Before becoming CEO, he ran Boeing’s defense and space division, which is based in St.

Louis. He began his career with Boeing in metro Puget Sound more than 30 years ago.

He has a “very deep appreciation” for the company’s Washington workforce, he said when asked about the lingering bitterness over the company’s most recent contracts with its two biggest unions.

“I have a great deal of respect for our team.”

He did not say whether Boeing will continue to oppose the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers’ efforts to organize the company’s North Charleston plant, which houses one of its two 787 Dreamliner assembly lines.

The company has a backlog of nearly 5,700 commercial airplane orders worth approximately $430.8 billion at list prices. Boeing’s military and space division has a backlog worth approximately $48.4 billion.

Cities pleased with outcomes transportation needs, funding of capital improvements that will support communities and enhance quality of life and restoration of crucial revenue sources for individual cities.

City officials seem ready to throw a parade for the transportation package alone.

The session started out pretty bleak. The cities and Economic Alliance had outlined more than $1 billion in road and other projects that they felt were fair and necessary to support the aerospace and manufacturing employers in the county, as well as basic transportation. But the governor’s transportation budget identified only $80 million in projects for Snohomish County. Economic Alliance, the cities and others protested what looked like an oversight, and, thanks in part to earlier contacts with Sen. Curtis King, R-Yakima, Rep. Judy Clibborn, D-Mercer Island, and others, the final budget secured about $670 million in projects throughout the county.

Adding to that victory, said Mill Creek Council Member Mike Todd, was the Legislature’s granting of authority for Community Transit and

Sound Transit to seek voter approval of separate tax packages. Community Transit this November will seek a sales tax increase to expand service and create a second Swift bus rapid transit line between Paine Field and Bothell’s Canyon Park. Sound Transit is expected to seek voter approval in 2016 for a tax package that will extend its Link light rail service to Everett.

The big project in the state capital budget for the county was $64.5 million for construction of a building for Washington State University’s University Center in Everett, but a number of projects will receive funding in the county, including: $3.38 million for the Stilly Valley Youth project for a new Boys & Girls Club and Little League fields in Arlington and recreation and trail facilities in Darrington; $1 million each for Boys & Girls Clubs in Granite Falls and Mukilteo; and in Edmonds, $1.25 million for the senior center, $1 million that, pending negotiations with the school district, would result in a civic playfield and grants to repair the roof of the Edmonds Center for the Arts.

Additional revenue from an

improved economy also convinced lawmakers to restore tax revenue typically targeted for cities’ public safety spending that in recent years the state has kept for the general fund. Lynnwood, for example, said Mayor Nicola Smith, can expect about $700,000 in liquor tax revenues, an amount that represents a restoration to its previous levels.

Other cities will see similar shares.

The exception to the general satisfaction? The Legislature again zeroed out about $270 million meant for a public works assistance account, Tolbert and Todd said, which cities have previously used to readily take out low-interest loans to pay for sewer and road projects, rather than seeking bonds, which increases costs for the cities and taxpayers.

The cities see the assistance account as vital to necessary public works projects that cities are often mandated to complete. They will continue to make that case, Tolbert said.

Restoration of the account will be at the top of the cities’ list next year when it again prepares to speak with a common voice to the Legislature.

Visit other businesses down there also. We need laws to be put into effect to get them to move on. You all say you will work on this issue, what we need is action now. So who gets my vote? I need to know that you are working on getting the laws changed. They have their right to be who they are, but so do the hardworking businesses have their right to be able to work and run their businesses safely and not have to deal with this issue on their own. So let me know how you are going to get everyone on the Everett City Council to change the laws to fix these problems. We need serious action now.

House on the floor, managing all manner of behavior and keeping the process moving forward. At the same time he was a career Washington State Patrol trooper which requires daily attention to others, selfrestraint and strong social skills. After serving in the house he ran and was elected as our Snohomish County Sheriff, twice. After years of dishonesty and Machiavellian games, he was called upon to bring transparency, trust and integrity back to the executive’s office and was then elected to this position. This is administrative ability. He has been chosen by others to lead many times.

Dave is a policy wonk. A good one. He has devoted himself to environmental and growth management issues. He is a scientist, a biologist. Dave is trustworthy and has integrity, but hardly executive or administrative experience.

Both of these really good men have been influenced by “seconds” — new partners, allies, that at times have not guided them well, have clashed with others, and apparently still have too much influence over them undermining their natural abilities. Both John and Dave have experienced bumps and bruises in the challenges they have faced during their years in office. They have previously been supporters of each other. Taken alone, on their merits, both have a great deal to offer. They are in the positions now that suit them best.

Join us in voting to retain John Lovick as county executive.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■KIDS AND EATING

Local advice trumps column Using my new “power position” as The Herald’s “Reader’s Choice Favorite” pediatrician, I am compelled to comment on psychologist John Rosemond’s ­“Living With Children” columns. He advocates an authoritarian, punitive parenting model at odds with that of most practicing pediatricians. His July 20 piece on a 4-year-old who won’t eat dinner is typical of his negative and damaging advice. After starting out correctly that a child who is growing well and energetic is eating enough, he proceeds to tell parents to lie to their children “the doctor said children who don’t eat are actually tired, and must go to bed,” to excluding them from the family table, and manipulating them to eat more than their healthy body tells them to eat.

I agree that parental authority is of paramount importance, and exerting that authority by lying and punishing may get quick results, but power based on deceit is counter-productive in the long-term.

The Herald published a much more useful column July 11, by local pediatrician Dr. Aisha Reuler, “Feeding your picky eater”, where she outlines a sensible, compassionate, and low-conflict way to manage this common parental anxiety. Parents will find her advice much more productive and positive than that of the nationally syndicated Dr. Rosemond.

IN OUR VIEW | Legislative review

It took 176 days, with two special sessions, including a few extra days tacked on at the end. And with so much riding on a number of outcomes, it was often frustrating to watch as deals were made, dashed and made again. But officials with many of the cities in Snohomish County are genuinely pleased and impressed — save for one significant exception — with what the Legislature accomplished this year.

The Snohomish County Cities group, affiliated with the Association of Washington Cities, this year fine-tuned its lobbying efforts and sought to speak with one voice before lawmakers. The effort, joined by assistance from groups like Economic Alliance Snohomish County, made its agenda clear but also helped get it passed by encouraging the county’s legislative delegation to meet regularly. Even when members of the delegation disagreed on issues, said Edmonds Mayor Dave Earling, the meetings at least furthered discussions and clarified positions.

The result, in the eyes of the cities’ leaders, included a significant win for the county’s

Gawker learns freedom of gossip limited

T

he truth will make you free, the more horrible the better. And the more humiliating the truth the richer you get; certainly if you’re Nick Denton, founder of the gossip-mongering website Gawker. But that was Phase One. Denton recently pulled an item about a married media executive’s allegedly seeking the services of a gay porn star, after about a half-million people saw it. He and other moguls in the nastier corners of the Internet are noting that though FROMA HARROP hits on such stories may reach stratospheric levels, There will advertisers don’t want always be a to get within wild west of smelling distance of the digital media, reportage. but those Let’s turn this diswanting cussion to members to make of Gawker’s fortunes editorial staff. Several off its quit over not being freewheeling consulted on nature are the decision to take the beginning to story down.

Summonfence it in. ing the most noble of mainstream media explanations, Denton said the move was an “editorial call.” In a statement, the unhappy writers and editors said they wanted to protect the site’s editorial independence from the influence of “business-side concerns.”

Children, children! Were you laboring under the impression that you weren’t working for the Man? Just because your CEO wears a T-shirts, spouts liberal causes and says the F-word a lot doesn’t mean you’re not gerbils running all day on the digital wheel.

Wall Street has valued the Gawker Media empire at about $250 million, yet you felt the need to unionize for such basic perks as consistent salaries. You were being paid for the number of hits.

That’s piecework, guys, like in the old garment industry sweatshops.

Much has been written about Gawker’s cool “headquarters” office in Manhattan.

Actually, Gawker Media is incorporated in the Cayman Islands, where its corporate privacy is well-protected and U.S. tax collectors are kept at bay.

Let’s now look at Gawker Media’s current business. You will note that Denton’s larger concern is not the hurt feelings of its content providers. It’s the money, guys.

The Wall Street Journal reports that in June, Gawker saw a 13 percent drop in the number of unique visitors. The competition is growing, and perhaps audiences are being numbed into indifference by the flood of flamboyant gossip.

Meanwhile, Hulk Hogan is suing Gawker for posting a video of the wrestler having sex with someone else’s wife. The wronged spouse is Hogan’s friend, a shock jock going under the name of Bubba the Love Sponge. (In this world, humiliation is something one inflicts unto others.)

Anyhow, Hogan’s lawyers are asking for $100 million, and if they were to get even a small part of it, Denton would be in trouble. He might be forced to sell the company or surrender much of his equity to others. Outside investors are now keeping their distance until the Hogan case is resolved, the Journal reports.

It’s one thing for a liberal site such as Gawker to mortify an entertainer in professional wrestling and quite another to out a gay man of high social status. In this case, the victim was media giant Conde Nast’s chief financial officer — a husband, father of three and brother of former Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner.

That puts Gawker at risk of losing the few powerful friends it has left. Journalist/ gay advocate Glenn Greenwald recently hyperventilated over the injustice of exposing a closeted gay man to ridicule.

To Greenwald, this was not acceptable behavior like outing classified information tied to national security.

There will always be a wild west of digital media, but those wanting to make fortunes off its freewheeling nature are beginning to fence it in. To traditional media types, that sounds a lot like “gatekeeping,” and not a bad thing.

Officials: Gray wolf killed cow

Former cult site now Christian youth camp

Associated Press

By Kathy Aney East Oregonian

ANTELOPE, Ore. — The world’s largest Christian Young Life facility is a 64,000-acre camp near Antelope, Oregon. It has a manmade lake, Olympicsize pool, three zip lines, go-kart track and an 88,000-square-foot sports center.

The oasis is surrounded by high desert flora and fauna.

The locals, many of them cattle ranchers, are rugged individuals who have weathered baking temperatures, middle-of-thenight calvings and the biggest irritant of all — the Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh.

The Bhagwan, a spiritual leader from India, in 1981 established a commune on the land now occupied by the Young Life camp and what earlier was a large sheep and cattle concern called the Big Muddy Ranch.

The Bhagwan bought the remote property for $5.75 million and invested millions more to build Rajneeshpuram as a spiritual retreat for thousands of his redfrocked followers. In news clips from the 1980s, Rajneeshees line the road for the Bhagwan’s daily drive-by in a vehicle from his fleet of more than 90 Rolls Royce automobiles.

The Rajneeshees clashed with locals over land use. The utopian desert commune collapsed after Rajneeshees were convicted of infecting four salad bars with salmonella in The Dalles, the Wasco county seat, in order to hamper voter turnout and swing an election. Other crimes included attempted murder, arson, election fraud and wiretapping. About 10 followers were imprisoned. The Bhagwan was deported for immigration violations.

Montana billionaire Dennis Washington bought the seized property for a cool $3.65 million as a destination resort, but ran into zoning problems. The Washington family donated the property to Young Life in 1996 and has continued support with additional donations.

Patty Read, administrative systems assistant at the Washington Family Ranch, said the camp is a mixture of new construction and remodeled Rajneeshpuram buildings. The hotels were repurposed into dorms.

The transformation to a Christian camp is nothing short of ironic, said Pendleton Young Life leader Chris Thatcher. He and three other leaders shepherded a contingent of 28 Pendleton teens all last week.

Thatcher stood in the sports center where kids scrambled up climbing walls and thudded basketballs off the hardwood.

Once a place where thousands of Rajneeshees worshiped the Bhagwan, the center is a hub of recreational activity.

He described the camp as a place where the gospel is presented, but not pushed. Seeds are planted during nightly meetings as kids sing and fellowship in a mosh pit-esque setting inside a building a short hop from the swimming pool.

A pastor zings a short but pithy message.

Early on, Read said, planners discussed creating a manmade lake, but ran into a big problem.

“Consultants said the pond would evaporate about 10,000 gallons a day,” she said. “They needed some kind of natural water source.”

The lake went on hold until a crew digging the swimming pool hit a natural spring with a flow of — you guessed it — 10,000 gallons per day.

When planners couldn’t decide what to do with the Bhagwan’s house, a 1997 range fire decided matters. A finger of the fire raced down the ridge and torched the residence, the only one of 300 Rajneeshpuram buildings to burn.

THOM BRIDGE / THE INDEPENDENT RECORD

Smoke rises from a wildfire near Townsend, Montana, on Tuesday. The fire has closed a portion of U.S. Highway 12 and led to evacuation orders in the rural area.

Wildland fire forces tourists to leave cars

By Matt Volz Associated Press

HELENA, Mont. — A fastmoving wildfire in Glacier National Park torched a car and forced tourists to abandon their rides on the Montana park’s most popular roadway while officials evacuated hotels, campgrounds and homes near the park’s eastern boundary.

Visitors left their vehicles along the Going-to-the-Sun Road and were shuttled out by officials Tuesday, park spokeswoman Denise Germann said.

The two-lane road that carries thousands of vehicles daily during peak times in July and August was shut down for 21 of its 50 miles.

Park officials were helping tourists retrieve their cars Wednesday, while rangers searched the backcountry for any remaining hikers after the blaze doubled in size overnight to more than 3 square miles.

Officials also were evacuating the small St. Mary community at the park’s eastern entrance and homes along a lakeshore.

“We’re kind of in the direct line right now,” said Susan Brooke, who owns the St. Mary Glacier Park KOA, where more than 600 people fled Wednesday afternoon. “It’s raging down the ridge toward St. Mary.”

Wind gusts and low humidity

were expected to move through drought-parched northwestern Montana, increasing the risk of the fire spreading even more quickly, and park officials were preparing for more evacuations.

“These conditions may create explosive fire growth potential,” Germann said in a statement.

That dangerous fire weather extended to Washington state, which is also struggling with drought. About 600 firefighters on the ground and in the air attacked a wildfire that has burned one home and nearly 6 square miles in the southeastern part of the state. It was likely human-caused, officials said.

In Glacier National Park, officials evacuated the 72-room Rising Sun Motor Inn and a nearby campground with 84 spots. They also evacuated the 148-site St. Mary campground, one of the largest in the park.

Glacier Park Lodges general manager Marc Ducharme told The Hungry Horse News that about 150 guests and 60 employees were evacuated from the hotel. The guests were given refunds and a list of area hotels, while the employees were set up in tents at a campground in Coram.

Peak tourist season is underway, and 95 percent of park visitors travel some length of the Going-to-the-Sun Road, which bisects the park and hugs the

mountainsides to cross the Continental Divide.

Officials on Wednesday also began evacuating the small community of St. Mary and homes surrounding St. Mary Lake as a precaution. A Glacier County sheriff ’s dispatcher said she did not know how many people were included in the evacuation order.

Greg Fullerton, who owns Glacier County Honey Co., said he has been watching the fire from a highway above St. Mary since Tuesday night. The fire has spread east along the lake, and burning trees were visible from his vantage point.

“In some locations, it’s burning on the shore, in other locations it’s two-thirds up the mountain,” he said.

The National Weather Service warned that wind gusts combined with low humidity in the park and the rest of northwestern Montana have created extreme conditions for wildfires Wednesday afternoon.

Helena National Forest officials say a separate blaze in central Montana has burned about 4 square miles since Tuesday and threatens homes in a rural area about 15 miles east of Townsend. Two campgrounds and a day-use area were closed.

Fire officials don’t yet know what caused either Montana fire.

Cost of Washington fires at $35M so far

CLE ELUM — The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service says a young cow whose carcass was found last week in central Washington was killed by a gray wolf.

The yearling was discovered on state grazing lands north of Cle Elum in Kittitas County. A Washington State University graduate student studying gray wolves found the carcass last Thursday.

Agency spokeswoman Ann Froschauer says it’s the first confirmed livestock attack within the range the Teanaway wolf pack. A sheep dog was injured in 2011.

Experts with the state Department of Fish and Wildlife reviewed evidence and determined that a wolf killed the animal. Bite marks on the hide and bone were consistent with a wolf kill. Wolf scat, hair and tracks were also found in the area.

The federal agency says the rancher had a damage prevention agreement with the state to proactively limit damage by wildlife.

State appeals $1.3 million attorney fees Associated Press SEATTLE — Washington state health officials are appealing a federal court order to pay $1.3 million in attorney’s fees to lawyers of mentally ill defendants who sued the state for warehousing them in jails.

U.S. District Judge Marsha Pechman ruled in April that the state was violating the constitutional rights “of its most vulnerable citizens” by forcing them to wait for weeks or months in jails for competency services.

Pechman issued a permanent injunction requiring the state to provide competency evaluations and treatment to restore competency within seven days of a judge’s order.

In June, Pechman granted the lawyers’ request to make the state pay $1.26 million in fees and $35.400 in costs.

On Tuesday, the state filed notice that they’re appealing that order to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

Associated Press SEATTLE — The cost of fighting large wildfires in Washington state has hit nearly $35 million so far this year, as 29 large wildfires have scorched brush, grass and timber.

The Northwest Interagency Coordination Center said those large blazes have burned nearly 130 square miles, or about 81,500 acres.

A large fire burns at least 100 acres in timber or 300 acres in grass or brush.

KING-TV reported that there have also been more than 1,000 small wildfires through July 21.

During the same period last year, 24 large wildfires burned about 660 square miles, or

about 425,000 acres.

Fire officials said last year included the Carlton Complex fire, the largest in state history,

in which 300 homes burned.

Firefighters say danger exists not only rural areas but in suburbs and cities as well.

Vancouver officials: Water lawns to prevent fires Associated Press VANCOUVER, Wash. — Officials in Vancouver are encouraging residents to water their lawns to help suppress fires.

The Columbian newspaper reported that while some communities are urging water

conservation because of this year’s drought, Vancouver City Manager Eric Holmes told the city council the city has “a tremendous water supply.”

He says residents should try to keep their lawns and other vegetation green to help prevent fires, though city officials ask that people still use water wisely.

Vancouver Fire Chief Joe Molina told the council it’s been a challenging summer for firefighters. He says many blazes could have been prevented.

A city spokeswoman says the city’s water supply is good because it relies on rain-fed aquifers and is not dependent on mountain snowpack.

SEATTLE — University of Washington researchers are recruiting Seattle-area children with autism as part of a fouryear study to identify biological markers.

The Seattle Times reported that the $25 million study at five sites across the country hopes to find biomarkers that will help diagnose, track and treat the disorder.

Researchers will study children ages 3 to 5 and six to 11 both with and without Autism Spectrum Disorder to compare social impairment and social function.

Autism Spectrum Disorder is a group of neurodevelopment disorders that affect communication and social interaction.

The disorder can cause repetitive or restrictive behaviors as well.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says about one in every 68 children in the U.S. is diagnosed with the disorder.

Official orca census: 81 whales, including 4 babies, in Washington waters Associated Press SEATTLE — The annual July tally of endangered orcas is complete, and researchers have counted 81 whales, including four babies born since last winter.

Researchers tracking the southern resident killer whales have photo

confirmation of each whale and nobody is missing, said Ken Balcomb, a senior scientist with the Center for Whale Research who keeps the official census of Puget Sound killer whales for the federal government. “They’re all here.�

The orcas that frequent the inland Washington

waters are identified by unique black and white markings or variations in their fin shapes.

It’s good news that the four baby orcas — one female and three males — have survived so far, Balcomb said. “We’re excited. They passed the dangerous part,� he said. The survival

rate for babies is about 50 percent. “We’re not in the clear yet. They’ll be weaning in a year. They have to make it there and have to learn how to eat and have to have food to eat. But we’re upbeat,� he added.

The population of 81 orcas is higher than last July’s count of 78 whales.

But it’s still low. Listed as endangered in 2005, the whales are struggling because of pollution, lack of food and other reasons.

The whales have been sticking to the Strait of Juan de Fuca west of Port Angeles, Balcomb said.

Crews from the Pacific Whale Watch Association have photographed

the babies swimming and jumping out of the water and report that they appear to be healthy.

Balcomb sent his census report to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration earlier this week.

They’ll also count the whales again later this year.

The La Conner Polo Club and its founder George Dill play host to the yearly Governor’s Cup

By Jessi Loerch Herald Writer

LA CONNER — Even during a relaxed practice session, a game of polo is exciting to watch. The horses accelerate quickly, stop quickly, turn quickly. The riders keep one hand on the reins, one hand on mallet and are rarely sitting squarely in the saddle. They lean to one side or the other, jockeying for position and swinging for a small white ball on the ground.

Members of the La Conner Polo Club gather twice a week for

practices on George Dill’s farm in La Conner. Dill, the founder of the club and the international committee chairman for the U.S. Polo Association, is an enthusiastic polo player who has played all over the world. He’s a big supporter of polo, especially in the Northwest.

On Saturday and Sunday, the club will host the Governor’s Cup on Dill’s farm. The event attracts some of the best polo players from around the Northwest. Fourteen teams are expected to play. The event is open to spectators.

If you go The Governor’s Cup is Saturday and Sunday at the La Conner Polo Club (16278 La Conner-Whitney Road). Matches will be played from about 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The entrance fee is $8 per person per day. Bring a blanket or lawn chair if you’d like a spot to sit down.

The La Conner Polo Club has been around since 2006 and hosts the Governor’s Cup yearly.

Aurora Edington is spending

the summer working in La Conner on a development internship with the U.S. Polo Association.

Edington recently graduated from Yale, where she played polo.

Edington had experience riding horses before she started with polo. She enjoys the partnership of working with the horse, as well as the teamwork among the players.

“It’s exciting, you get an adrenaline rush,” she said. “It’s a team sport, so not only are See POLO, Page C5

DETROIT — Nelson Cruz is power-bingeing again. He hit two more home runs Wednesday night after getting one a day earlier and...well, it just didn’t matter.

The Seattle Mariners buried themselves in a disastrous eightrun third inning in a 9-4 loss to the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park.

Buried. Themselves.

Sure, the key blow was a grand slam by Mariner-emasculator Nick Castellanos who, the numbers suggest, is putty against pretty much every other opponent.

But Gold Glove third baseman Kyle Seager had two Nelson Cruz errors in the inning, hit his 23rd including his first and 24th throwing error in home runs of nearly 14 months. the season in And starter Mike M’s 9-4 loss.

A CONNER — The polo riders at the La Conner Polo Club make it look easy.

It’s really, really not.

I mean, I knew it wouldn’t be easy. In polo, you must stay astride a powerful animal with a mind of its own, while holding reins in one hand, a mallet in the other and trying to hit a tiny ball.

Ideally, you don’t fall off. Or hit your horse with the mallet. Or hit yourself. Or hit a teammate. Or drop the mallet. You get the idea.

I got a chance to give a try recently. Aurora Edington and Ernesto Maña showed me the basics on a fun horse named Tormenta, which means storm in Spanish.

Tormenta was not at all stormy. In fact, I found her rather sweet. I think she found me rather boring.

I haven’t been on a horse in at least six years.

I’ve missed riding, so when George Dill asked if I wanted to give it a try, I couldn’t say yes fast enough.

I arrived at Dill’s farm in La

A pair of first-half goals sink the Americans in 2-1 loss.

Want to try?

By Paul Newberry

If you’d like to try polo, contact George Dill at 253-732-3111.

Initial lessons are $125. Once riders gain experience, they can practice on Tuesdays and Thursdays for $300 for a package of 6 practices, which includes the horse rental and gear.

Conner and — after a quick meet-and-greet with the baby horses — got geared up.

First to go on was a helmet, which I appreciated. If I did anything particularly ungraceful, at least my brain would have some protection. After I was all geared up with helmets, boots and half chaps — lower leg wraps that make riding easier and more comfortable — I swung up on Tormenta’s back.

I rode her around in circles, getting used to her feeling and steering.

Then I tried holding the mallet. Once again, I felt awe for the riders. Just balancing the mallet in the air while riding at a slow walk taxed my brain.

ATLANTA — The United States had everything on its side. History. A raucous home crowd.

And, supposedly, the better team.

None of it prevented Jamaica from handing the Americans their biggest upset defeat.

The Reggae Boyz stunned the U.S. with a pair of first-half goals, one off a blunder by goalkeeper Brad Guzan, and held on for a 2-1 victory in the CONCACAF Gold Cup semifinals Wednesday night.

Instead of heading on to an expected berth in Sunday’s title game at Philadelphia, the American will play a day earlier for third place.

“Obviously the team is disappointed. The fans are disappointed,” U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann said. “We wanted to play in the big final Sunday.”

Darren Mattocks, who plays for the Vancouver Whitecaps in Major League Soccer, put Jamaica ahead with a 31st-minute header

NFLPA promises action if Brady’s suspension isn’t lifted Los Angeles Times It’s been nearly a month since Tom Brady appealed his fourgame Deflategate suspension, and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has yet to announce whether he will uphold or modify the four-time Super Bowl winner’s punishment.

Speaking on NBC Sports Radio on Wednesday, NFL Players’ Association President Eric Winston expressed frustration over the NFL’s handling of Brady’s appeal and said the union is prepared to “take the next step” if Goodell doesn’t overturn the suspension.

“It’s not even worth trying to guess what’s going on because it doesn’t seem like all the time that they know what’s going on,” Winston said. “I hope they do the right thing; I hope they exonerate Tom and overturn his suspension, but if they don’t, we’re prepared to take the next step, whatever that next step might be.”

It’s unclear what steps the players union might take if Brady’s suspension isn’t dissolved, but Brady, reportedly, is prepared to fight any suspension in federal court.

The NFL suspended Brady in May after an NFL-commissioned investigation by attorney Ted Wells concluded it was “more probable than not” that Brady was “generally aware” of team attendants deflating footballs prior to the AFC Championship game against the Indianapolis Colts on Jan. 18. Brady has denied any wrongdoing.

T

he sockeye are here and the pinks are coming, so what’s a poor angler to do?

Well, you can scratch the Lake Wenatchee sockeye fishery for a week at least. State Fish and Wildlife Department biologist Travis Maitland in Leavenworth said low flows and high water temperatures in the Wenatchee River have slowed the movement of sockeye from the Columbia to the lake.

“We have about 11,000 fish in the lake right now (Tuesday), but we need at least 20,000 more to provide for spawning escapement and a recreational fishery,” Maitland said. “There are an estimated 47,000 fish still in the Columbia — plenty of sockeye for a good lake fishery — but they’re coming over Tumwater Dam more slowly than we had anticipated.”

The Lake Wenatchee season had been scheduled to start July 18, but was delayed. Maitland hopes to open the fishery sometime next week — if everything falls into place. Keep an eye on the agency’s website for a season announcement, at www.wdfw. wa.gov/fishing.

“Down around Cashmere the cubic-feet-per-second reading is as low as we’ve ever seen,” Maitland said. “Luckily, there have been no signs of a die-off.”

On this side of the hump, biologist Brett Barkdull in La Conner said a meeting of salmon managers on Monday made an in-season estimate of the Baker Lake sockeye run size, and came up with a number very close to the preseason predictions.

That means the status quo for the fishery right now, Barkdull said, no change in limits, season length or other regulations.

Kevin John at Holiday Sports in Burlington said the Baker Lake fishery has generally been

PICK OF THE WEEK | One-week shrimp opening

Outdoor calendar

Those who can get their minds off chinook, sockeye and humpies for a few days might want to take advantage of the one-week, allspecies shrimp reopening in a portion of Marine Area 7-South, on the south edge of the San Juan Islands.

The area reopened Tuesday, to run through July 28, and includes water west of Point Colville on the south end of Lopez Island. The portion of Marine Area 7-South lying east of Point Colville remains closed.

Some popular and productive spot shrimp grounds will reopen, including Iceberg Point, MacArthur Bank, and Salmon Bank, while

■ The Sno-King Chapter of the Coastal Conservation Association meets at 7:30 p.m. today at the Sammamish Valley Grange in Woodinville (14654 148th Ave. NE). The guest speaker will be Mike Crewson, a salmonid enhancement scientist for the Tulaip Tribes.

pretty good so far, but up and down. There are a lot of sockeye in the lake, and if you hit it on an up day, you can do very well, he said.

Baker Lake is one of those counter-intuitive fisheries, John said, which seem to be better when the sun hits the water rather than during the period before dawn or on overcast days.

The fish “seem to want a little sparkle or something,” he said.

The morning bite (after light hits the water) has been best, starting at about 50 feet and going down to 70 feet as the sockeye move deeper during the day and toward the center of the lake. John said the south shore, on the upper end of the lake over the old Baker River channel, has been the most popular area, but that anglers now are starting to fan out.

The standard tackle setup includes a big ring size “0” or Mack’s Double “D” dodger, 12 to 14 inches of heavy leader, and a UV pink or orange mini-squid on a double pink or red, 1/0 or 2/0 hook tie.

The Swift Creek Campground launch remains the favorite. It’s crowded on weekends but not too bad during the week.

The Baker Dam trap numbers as of Sunday were 20,095 sockeye trapped and 15,435 transferred to the lake. And there are fish still coming: last Thursday, 1,424 sockeye were trapped; Friday, 475, Saturday, 288, and Sunday, 508. The highest recent full-season trap count was 28,410 in 2012.

at least one other, Biz Point, will remain closed.

Mark O’Toole, the state Department of Fish and Wildlife’s shrimp manager in La Conner, said “We picked the best tides we could for this fishery, and they’re not bad.

But tidal current can be a major factor anywhere in or near the Strait, so recreational shrimp fishers may want to concentrate on an outgoing tide, which does not usually run as strongly as the flood.”

Most shrimp fishermen will be setting pots at depths between 60 and 340 feet, O’Toole said.

Humpies The big run of odd-year pink salmon is not quite here, but it’s close. Fishermen are hitting pretty fair numbers of pinks in the San Juan Islands and on the east end of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, off Port Angeles and Port Townsend. Kevin John (above) said there also are a few starting to show up in the Skagit River.

State creel samplers at the Port of Everett ramp on Sunday checked 447 anglers — many of them looking for kings in Marine Area 9 — with 46 pinks. At the Fort Casey (Keystone) ramp, 145 anglers on Sunday had 43 pinks; 65 had 71 pinks at the Washington Park ramp in Anacortes; and 59 had 101 pinks at Port Angeles.

Kevin John said beach fishermen are starting to hit humpies at the usual spots on the west side of Whidbey Island: Fort Casey, Bush Point and others, and at West Beach in Deception Pass State Park. John said most beach anglers use pink Buzz Bombs or Rotators, often with a pink or white mini-squid attached.

The state recently built a web feature to help anglers take advantage of this distinctive opportunity, by providing insights into fishing pink salmon in both marine and freshwater areas, listing helpful fishing tips, suggestions on access points from both rivers and coast, and information on where and when the pinks are arriving.

King salmon The very popular hatchery chinook season in Marine Area 9 started off with flash and sizzle but the hot fishing didn’t last long. On the first two days of the fishery — Thursday and Friday of last week — both Midchannel Bank and Possession Bar produced top numbers of kings, according to Gary Krein, owner/skipper of All Star Charters. But by the weekend, catch rates dropped substantially, and the harvest as of Saturday was 1,253 out of a quota of 2,483 fish.

Storm’s Bird to make ninth appearance in All-Star game Associated Press NEW YORK — Sue Bird is back for another WNBA All-Star Game, and Plenette Pierson is joining her for the first time.

Bird was announced by the league as a Western Conference reserve on Tuesday, sending her to Connecticut for the WNBA’s 13th All-Star Game on Saturday. The Seattle Storm guard will be making her ninth appearance, tied for second most all-time behind Tamika Catchings’ 10.

“It’s always an honor to be selected to All-Star team,” Bird said. “In this case, the fact the coaches voted is a pretty cool thing.”

Bird has been voted in as a starter seven times. She also was picked as a replacement by the league’s president once.

“Either way you’re on the All-Star team,” she said. “When fans vote you in it has a special meaning. Coaches vote you in, it’s more of a basketball meaning.”

While Bird is a frequent participant, Pierson will be playing in the contest for the first time. The 13-year veteran is one of seven players competing in their first All-Star Game.

DeWanna Bonner of Phoenix, Alex Bentley and Kelsey Bone of Connecticut, Marissa Coleman of Indiana and Stefanie Dolson and Emma Meesseman of Washington also will be making their debuts.

Pierson was thrilled when she got the call the other day.

“I was just in awe,” she said.

“My mom was in the room, I was in San Antonio, and I got the call and came running back in the room and said I made All-Star. We both started jumping around the room.”

The 33-year-old Pierson usually has taken the All-Star break

The deadline is noon Monday.

Krein fished the outer Possession bar on the opener and had his best luck on 4-inch Tomic plugs and green/white spoons.

“Every fish we caught was stuffed with largish herring,” Krein said, “and the key was finding the bait.”

The kings were a little larger than those taken in some previous seasons, Krein said, with many in the high teens.

The state’s Puget Sound recreational salmon manager, Ryan Lothrop, said that by Sunday, anglers had caught roughly two-thirds of the recreational quota and it was unclear (on Wednesday) whether or not the fishery could be extended through this weekend. The season closure will be announced via the agency’s usual press release system and will appear first on the web site www.wdfw.wa.gov.

Tiger trout record Kelly Flaherty of Priest River, Idaho, seat a state record for the largest tiger trout caught in Washington.

The tiger — a sterile brook trout/ brown trout cross — weighed 18.49 pounds, measured 32.5 inches, and had a 21.75-inch girth.

The 53-year old Flaherty caught the record fish May 5 while bait fishing with a worm and egg at Bonaparte Lake, near Tonasket in Okanogan County. It beat the old record, caught in Roses Lake, near Chelan in 2012, by 3.45 pounds.

According to Larry Stillwaugh, at state’s Omak Trout Hatchery, the tiger was about the right age to have been released from his facility.

Although not yet listed in the International Game Fish Association’s world record book, Flaherty’s fish would place second, behind a 20-plus pounder caught in the 1970s in Lake Michigan.

as a chance to rest. But she is happy she will have something else to do this weekend.

“As much as I’d love to have had a couple days off since I’m almost 34, it’s so great to be part of All-Star and to be voted in by the coaches,” the Tulsa Shock forward said.

Other reserves include Chicago’s Cappie Pondexter, Los Angeles’ Nneka Ogwumike, San Antonio’s Danielle Robinson and Minnesota’s Lindsay Whalen.

Pondexter made the All-Star

squad for the seventh time and joined Tina Thompson as the only players in league history to represent three different teams in the All-Star Game.

“Not too often that you can say you’ve done that,” said Pondexter, who has played for Phoenix, New York and now Chicago. “To be in the company of Tina Thompson, who is someone who has been a mentor to me, is amazing. I’ve always looked up to her and the hard work she put into the game.”

NEWARK, N.J. — A division title might soon mean a banner but no assurance of a playoff spot in the NBA. Commissioner Adam Silver said Wednesday the league is leaning toward not guaranteeing a postseason berth to a team that wins its division, forcing clubs to finish in the top eight of their conference if they want a shot at the title.

Silver had already said he expected a change from the current format that guarantees division winners no worse than the No. 4 seed. But after discussions with both the competition committee and board of governors, he believes the change will go further than that.

“First of all, it’s never happened before that a division winner did not finish within the top eight, and our basketball analytics folks calculate that there’s less than a 5 percent chance that it would happen,” he said before taking part in a panel discussion at the “Beyond Sport United” program.

“Where we are leaning right now is that we would not guarantee a spot for a division winner in part because it’s so unlikely to happen, and No. 2 if it does happen it would be potentially confusing to fans. No. 3, you would be displacing a team that did have a top-eight record.”

Regular-season game in London LONDON — The NBA says the Orlando Magic and Toronto Raptors will play a regular-season game in London on Jan. 14.

It will be the sixth league game played at the O2 Arena in the British capital. Before 2011, games in London were only exhibitions.

Magic coach Scott Skiles says “I remember playing in London with the Magic in 1993 and I am sure our current players will relish this unique opportunity.”

MARINERS | Notebook Cano regaining form DETROIT — For weeks now, Robinson Cano has insisted he feels good and is hitting the ball hard. That nothing was wrong. It was just a matter of time before fortune smiled.

“I’ve been hitting the ball hard a lot,” he said, “but right at guys. All you can do is keep swinging. But I’m always going to be positive. It’s never too late.”

The numbers are turning.

Cano boosted his average to .260 by going 4-for-8 over the last two games against Detroit. OK, that’s still 50 points below his career average coming into the season, but the last time he was at .260 was May 21.

And, yes, he feels different.

“I’ve hit a lot of balls hard,” Cano said, “but when you start getting hits — it’s different. You don’t have to think what you’re doing wrong and what you have to do to get those hits.”

Cano entered Wednesday’s game against Detroit with a .352 average over 19 games in July with five doubles, five homers and 12 RBI. His on-base percentage was .395 and his slugging percentage was .634.

HILLSBORO, Ore. — The Everett AquaSox are coming home with their eyes set on a first-half title.

Everett heads into the final four games of the first half of the Northwest League season in pole position after beating the Hillsboro Hops 6-4 Wednesday afternoon in 10 innings.

The Sox were gifted the tiebreaking run in the 10th courtesy of a pair of Hillsboro errors, then Corey Simpson slugged a two-run homer to provide the finishing touch for Everett (20-14), which finishes off the first half at home as the Sox try to defend first place in the North Division. The first half division winners earn automatic playoff berths.

Yojhan Quevedo and Ryan Uhl each added two hits for Everett.

The Sox also received a solid outing from starting pitcher Lane Ratliff, who tossed five scoreless innings.

Sergio Alcantara homered and Josh Anderson went 2-for-3 to lead Hillsboro (19-15).

Everett seemed of little threat in the top of the 10th as the Sox had two out and nobody on. But Erick Mejia hustled out an infield single, stole second, then took third when the throw to second sailed into the outfield. Logan Taylor followed with a grounder that Hillsboro third baseman Jeff Smith threw away, giving Everett the lead.

Simpson then stepped up and belted a two-run shot to left to put the Sox up by three.

Hillsboro got one run back in the bottom of the 10th on Zach Nehrir’s groundout, but that was it for the Hops.

The 10th-inning rally salvaged the game for Everett, which was unable to hang onto a 3-0 lead.

Alcantara hit a solo homer in the sixth to get the Hops on the board.

Then Hillsboro tied it with two more in the seventh. A miscommunication between Taylor and Luis Liberato in the outfield allowed a routine fly to drop for a single as Hillsboro loaded the bases with

Everett struck first in the top of the first when Quevedo scored on a fielder’s choice. Then the Sox scored two more in the sixth, Mejia coming home on the back end of a double steal and Uhl adding an RBI single.

Royals’ Vargas needs Tommy John surgery Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Royals left-hander Jason Vargas has a torn ulnar ligament in his elbow and will need season-ending Tommy John surgery.

Vargas left his start against Pittsburgh on Tuesday night after throwing just 26 pitches. He had an MRI on Wednesday that revealed the extent of the injury.

“The report didn’t come back good,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “He’s definitely going to have to have surgery. He’s going

to be out for a while. I mean it’s a 12 to 14 month recovery. The good thing is when he comes back he’ll be every bit as good as he was before he got hurt.”

Vargas had been on the disabled list twice previously this season with elbow injuries.

The Royals filled his spot in the rotation by recalling Yordano Ventura. The hard-throwing right-hander had been sent to Triple-A Omaha just a day earlier to work on his inconsistency and rebuild some confidence after a string of poor starts.

swing-and-miss type pitches too early. I think just trusting that fastball is what I needed to do today. I felt I had really good stuff today. That’s the frustrating part.”

Even so, Montgomery’s worst pitch found too much contact: a 90-mph cookie he grooved to Castellanos on a 2-0 count. Castellanos rocked it 447 feet to center field, and the Tigers led 5-0.

“I fell behind 2-0,” Montgomery said, “and I had to come into the zone. He knew it, and he’s a good hitter. He’s been hitting really well lately.

That’s what happens. That’s why you’ve got to get ahead of guys.”

All eight runs in the third were charged to Montgomery, who did not survive the inning. So the Mariners were down 8-0 before the boomstick started barking.

Cruz hit a two-run bomb, tracked at 437 feet, in a threerun fourth inning. He then led off the sixth with an opposite-field drive he seemed to mis-hit, but it still had 390 feet of carry.

“Baseball and the swing are crazy,” said Cruz, who had hit three homers in his previous 45 games before Tuesday.

“It’s always small details that change your swing. It makes a difference.”

Both homers came against Detroit starter Anibal Sanchez, who gave up four runs and nine hits in 62⁄3 innings while pitching like a guy with a big lead. He improved to 10-7.

Alex Wilson, EdmondsWoodway alum Blaine Hardy, Al Alburquerque and Joakim Soria closed out Sanchez’s victory. The Tigers added an insurance run in the eighth inning against Joe Beimel.

The nightmarish third inning started when Rajai Davis led off with a walk by working back from a 1-2 hole.

“I got ahead,” Montgomery said, “but I walked the leadoff guy. Those are the little things that really come back to bite you.”

This one did.

Ian Kinsler followed the walk by putting down a bunt.

Seager charged from third and made the pick-up but sailed the throw past first baseman Mark Trumbo.

“You get quite a few of those (bunt plays),” Seager said. “I

gripped it pretty good. I just threw it up the line a little.”

Davis scored all the way from first, and Kinsler reached second on what was scored a single and an error. It was Seager’s first throwing error in 413 chances dating to May 29, 2014.

“It happened in a hurry,” manager Lloyd McClendon said. “It all started with a twostrike walk. Then the bunt.

After that, everything went to heck.”

Or worse.

Montgomery issued another walk, to Yoenis Cespedes, before a passed ball moved the runners to second and third with no outs.

Second baseman Robinson Cano temporarily saved a run with a terrific over-the-shoulder catch on Victor Martinez’s pop into short right field. That prompted an intentional walk to J.D. Martinez, which loaded the bases.

For Castellanos.

Montgomery fell behind 2-0 before coming in with a four-seamer that Castellanos crushed for a grand slam.

Castellanos is 11-for-22 with four homers and 13 RBI in six games against the Mariners. He is batting .229 against everyone else with four homers and 30 RBI in 85 games.

The Tigers weren’t done.

Jefry Marte reached on a two-out infield single to third and scored on Jose Iglesias’ double to left. Davis followed with a liner to third off Seager’s glove (another error), and Marte came all the way around.

“I was right there,” Seager said. “I don’t really know what happened on it. It wasn’t hit too high. It wasn’t hit as hard as the one (on Tuesday). It was ... ..I probably should have made (the catch).”

In came David Rollins, who served up an RBI double to Kinsler that boosted the Tigers’ lead to 8-0. Rollins finally ended the inning by retiring Cespedes on a fly to center.

The damage: Detroit sent 12 batters to the plate in scoring eight runs on five hits, three walks and the first two-error inning of Seager’s career.

The eight runs matched a season-worst inning for the Mariners; they also gave up eight in the first inning on June 12 in a 10-0 loss at Houston.

That was the night that Felix Hernandez recorded just one out before exiting.

That was too much even for a resurgent Cruz.

directly off a throw-in. Houston Dynamo’s Giles Barnes followed five minutes later with a goal on an 18-yard free kick after Guzan was caught outside the penalty area on a routine throw.

Other than those two set plays, the Americans largely dominated. They finished with a 10-3 edge in shots on goal — including eight in the second half, as they furiously charged at Jamaican goalkeeper Ryan Thompson,

who plays for the Pittsburgh Riverhounds in the third-tier United Soccer League.

Thompson was up to the task, turning aside every shot but Michael Bradley’s goal in the 48th minute.

“My phone hasn’t stopped, as you can imagine,” said Barnes, savoring one of his country’s greatest victories. “Back in Jamaica, there’s got to be a party going on. Everybody knows how we are.”

At the final whistle, the Jamaicans charged onto the field, hugging and waving their flag while a small contingent of fans,

clad in green and gold, saluted their underdog team. This was a glorious moment for an island nation of about 2.9 million people, one that had nothing to do with Olympic champion Usain Bolt. A team ranked 76th in the world became the first Caribbean nation to reach a Gold Cup final and will face either Mexico or Panama.

The Jamaicans want more, said their German coach, Winfried Schaefer.

“We have one more match to play,” he said. “Bob Marley is for after the match.”

The 34th-ranked Americans,

who had played in five straight Gold Cup finals and were the defending champion, will face the loser of Wednesday’s second semifinal in the third-place game.

They also must meet the Gold Cup winner in a playoff for the North and Central American and Caribbean berth in the 2017 Confederations Cup. It marked the first time the U.S. was eliminated by a CONCACAF team en route to the Gold Cup final. In the era when teams outside the region were invited guests, the Americans lost semifinals to Brazil in 1996 and 2003, and a quarterfinal to Colombia in 2000.

In the early going, it looked as though the Americans might romp to another impressive win after a 6-0 blowout of Cuba in the quarterfinals. In their first game in Atlanta in 38 years, they had most of the chances but kept sending good looks wide or over the net.

The Americans had a few more good chances the rest of the way, but none that came close.

Now, they’ve got to deal with a shocking loss.

“We had enough chances to put three or four or five in there,” Klinsmann said. “We didn’t do it.

That’s why we lost.”

Finally, with mallet in hand, we walked our horses out to the pitch. As we got nearer the pitch, I could feel Tormenta’s interest change. Her walk gained energy and she clearly was keen for something more challenging. Sorry, Tormenta.

Aurora showed me how to position myself in the saddle: lift sightly out of the saddle, twist your hips and shoulders, pull your arm back as if you’re drawing a bow and let the mallet drop. If you do it right, it should be easy.

I found the position in the saddle strangely secure. I didn’t feel as comfortable as Aurora looked, but I wasn’t about to land on my head either.

I gave the mallet some experimental swings, then Aurora let me try to hit the ball. I swung. I whiffed the mallet far above the ball. I tried again. The same.

And again. Finally, I reached the mallet lower and slammed it into the ground a foot before the ball.

Who knew the biggest challenge would be finding the ground? And I was only riding one horse. During a typical polo match, riders use four different horses, each horse a different height.

As I tried to find the ground, Tormenta waited for me, patiently putting up with my sloppy swings that occasionally

you working with the horse, but there’s this whole team component to it. Running on a horse at 40 miles per hour adds a whole new element to the game.”

She says it’s been easy to fit into the polo community in the Northwest. The players tend to be welcoming and, because it’s a pretty small community, everyone gets to know each other quickly.

She’s spending the summer teaching lessons, helping organize tournaments and learning from Dill.

“George is a steadfast column of polo in the Northwest,” she said. “He’s really big into traveling and supporting other clubs.”

Ernesto Maña, a polo player from Argentina, is also spending the summer with the La Conner Polo Club. It’s the offseason right now in Argentina, so he came up here to spend more time riding polo and working with the horses.

During his time here, he’s training horses, teaching lessons and playing in tournaments every weekend. It’s his second summer in the Northwest.

Maña said he really enjoys the polo in the Northwest.

“There are good tournaments, good competition and the players are really friendly,” he said.

Herald writer Jessi Loerch prepares for her polo lesson at the La Conner Polo Club on July 15.

whizzed too close to her nose.

Eventually, I managed to connect with the ball. It made a pathetic little “tink” noise and rolled a few lazy feet. After a few more tries, I connected with a satisfying “crack” and the ball shot forward. It was nothing like the impressive distance Ernesto and Aurora were getting, but I was pleased.

After a few good swings, I could feel Tormenta’s interest increase. Maybe I was

going to do something interesting after all.

Sadly, I’d need a lot more training up before I could ride in a chukker. So I passed Tormenta off to a real rider who could put her talent to better use.

I’m going to return this weekend to watch the Governor’s Cup. I’ll be watching from sidelines, but I’ll be cheering louder with a greater appreciation for the challenges of polo.

Froome retains Tour lead, van Garderen pulls out of race

By Jamey Keaten Associated Press

PRA LOUP, France — The speedometer clocked between 50 and 60 kilometers per hour (30-37 mph) as the pine trees whipped by, and the riders leaned left to right and back again to negotiate the snaking, bumpy descent.

Winning the Tour de France isn’t only about having the ability to get uphill fast. You’ve got to have nerves of steel going downhill too.

Chris Froome proved Wednesday that he’s got both.

The 30-year-old Briton retained the leader’s yellow jersey as the Tour sped toward its crescendo in

the Alps.

The 17th stage included a harrowing 16-kilometer (10-mile) descent that dealt perhaps the final blow to Alberto Contador’s distant hope of a third Tour victory and doused the ambitions of promising French rider Thibaut Pinot for a stage win. They both lost time after hitting the asphalt on the way down from the treacherous Allos Pass.

Germany’s Simon Geschke won the stage by surging out of a breakaway bunch and keeping at bay Andrew Talansky of the U.S., who was second, by 32 seconds at the end of the 161-kilometer (100-mile) ride from Digne-LesBains to Pra Loup ski resort.

Fellow American Tejay van Garderen, who was third overall as the stage began, pulled out of the race with a headache and a lack of energy after fighting a respiratory infection for several days.

“It almost feels like I just want to disappear right now,” said a despondent Van Garderen. “It was hard to look my teammates in the eyes (and) it was hard to call my wife and explain to her what was going on.”

Froome, meanwhile, emerged unscathed in the first of four punishing days in the Alps, staving off multiple attacks from his top rivals.

He showed great bike-handling skill on the Allos descent, where he whizzed in single-file with three of

them, each kicking out knees on the twisting, narrow bends.

Geschke was first down the slope, having ridden off ahead with 50 kilometers (30 miles) still to go. Pinot hit the deck when his wheels slipped from under him on a left-hand bend.

“It was really challenging,” said Geschke, whose stage victory was the fifth by a German on this Tour, and ideal for an event that is back on public TV in Germany after a hiatus of several years because of doping scandals that tarnished the sport’s image.

“The best day of my life as a rider,” he said of his win.

Contador hit a hole and crashed in the downhill section,

tearing his shorts. The 2007 and 2009 champion was forced to swap bikes with teammate Peter Sagan, and rode in more than two minutes after Froome.

“My wheel slipped and I fell.

We tried to fix my bike but it wasn’t working and I took Peter’s bike,” Contador said. “I tried to descend as well as I could, but at the bottom of the climb I had to change back to one of my own bikes to minimize the losses.”

While the Spaniard stays in fifth place, the Tinkoff-Saxo leader who was hoping to add the Tour to his Giro d’Italia win in May is now a substantial 6 minutes and 40 seconds behind the Team Sky rider overall — and all but out of contention.

Mark Henry’s garden in Snohomish features vignettes and “rooms” reminiscent of the gardens of Venice and England.

‘Rooms’ to roam Mark Henry’s Europe-inspired outdoor space is one of nine gardens you can tour Sunday in Snohomish

By Gale Fiege | Herald Writer

If you go

SNOHOMISH — The garden is hidden on an unlikely mixed-use block of Maple Avenue. The tall green privet and holly hedge with its old garden gate is the only clue that something beautiful might be found behind it.

Oh, yes. Open the gate and color explodes.

Breathtaking reds, oranges and purples. Eye-catching foliage of magenta and chartreuse. Garden art, garden rooms and the Venetian flag.

Mark Henry’s garden is one of nine (some never open to the public before) on the Snohomish Garden Club’s 31st annual Garden Tour from noon to 5 p.m.

Sunday.

Besides enjoying an afternoon of pleasant wandering through gardens, participants can count on gathering lots of good ideas and inspiration at their own homes, said Fred Rowe, one of the tour organizers.

Proceeds from the annual

tour are used to fund community projects including grants, scholarships and the hanging flower baskets in downtown Snohomish.

From the front walk entrance to Henry’s garden, one wends around to the left where delightful scented lilies grow from the middle of ubiquitous boxwood hedges, all planted from cuttings from the original boxwood on the property.

The clever thing about these two-sided small hedges is that potted plants can be placed in between and swapped out with the seasons. Tulips in the spring, lilies in the summer, etc. When a

Tickets for the Snohomish Garden Club tour on Sunday afternoon are $12 (children free) and available at Joyworks, Blanc & Rouge, McAuliffe’s Valley Nursery and McDaniel’s Do-It Center in Snohomish, along with the Machias Nursery, Molbak’s in Woodinville and Sunnyside Nursery in Marysville.

Tickets also may be purchased at www.snohomishgardenclub. com or starting at 10:30 a.m. on tour day at the Snohomish Senior Center, 506 Fourth St., where sales of plants, raffle tickets and the event poster also will be available. season is over, the flower pots are placed in the English greenhouse out back for use next year.

Boxwood also surrounds a lovely Little and Lewis fountain shaped like a Tuscan column

Henry and his gardener Nick Garaas rely on container gardening for seasonal changes. The garden sports 250 containers

Curly maple veneer defies ‘brown furniture’ price decline

GARTH AUCTION

Notice the patterned wood on the front of this Sheraton chest of drawers made about 1840. It has a two-board top, turned legs and old brass handles.

The four drawers make it a useful bedroom or even dining-room piece with storage space. In May 2015, it sold at a Garth auction in Delaware, Ohio, for $3,000.

hat is now called “brown furniture” is not selling for high prices any more. Even unusual pieces made of rare wood are out of favor in most parts of the country. But low auction and shop prices mean there are bargains to be had. The antiques are well made of solid wood, and although already almost 200 years old, probably will be useful for another hundred or more.

Curly maple is an uncommon wood used by early craftsmen in Ohio and parts of New England where the soft maple trees were plentiful. It is also called flame maple, tiger maple, ripple

maple, fiddleback maple or tiger stripe.

The unusual, decorative grain seems almost threedimensional as it “curls” the length of the board. It is best seen when the board is quartersawn and may not show at all in a flatsawn board. It is thought that this pattern appears in the wood because of something in the environment. It is not caused by a disease.

A related figured wood is known as bird’s eye maple. It has the same glowing figure, but it swirls to look a bit like eyes. It appears in some hard maple trees if they’re cut the right way.

In the 1930s to 1980s,

furniture with curly maple veneer was considered special by collectors and prices were high. A good Sheraton chest of drawers could bring $2,000 to $3,000, and an exceptional chest might sell for over $5,000. Even refinished, a curly maple chest probably will hold its value, and because it is rare, become even more expensive in the future.

Q: About 25 years ago, I found a sterling-silver plate at a sale. It was in a cloth bag labeled “John Wanamaker, Jewelers & Silversmiths.” The plate is marked with the initials “JW” on one side of an eagle, and “925” over “1000” on the other side. John

Wanamaker’s department store was a Philadelphia landmark, but did it also make silver?

A: John Wanamaker opened a men’s clothing store in Philadelphia with his brother-in-law in 1861.

After his brother-in-law died, Wanamaker expanded the business into an upscale department store. Some items, like your silver plate, were made for Wanamaker’s by other companies. The numbers “925” over “1000” are the standard for sterling silver in the United States and many other countries.

What: This narrow pin oak is a fantastic addition to the urban garden. The stiffly upright branches hold lustrous dark green leaves that turn a deep red in autumn. Its tight form allows it to be used as a street tree.

Pin oaks are known for their ability to tolerate a wide range of difficult growing conditions.

Once established it is drought tolerant, although in prolonged dry weather it appreciates an occasional watering. Little pruning is needed other than to remove dead, broken or poorly formed limbs.

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

JULY

BACKYARD PRIVACY 1367771

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.

How to create a tropical-looking border in the Northwest

T

he missus and I have a very convenient arrangement. The back yard is hers and the front is mine. So in the back yard she has created a very pleasing cottage-garden with lots of flowers and raised vegetable beds.

In the front yard I have gone the tropical route. In fact, I have done the tropical thing for many years, using real tropicals that have to be dug and greenhoused every winter. It is truly a labor of love and a monumental endeavor.

Several years ago, though, I decided that while I like the tropical look I was no longer going to dig up and put everything under cover for the winter.

So I started to create a

gardens. Hot colors like the reds, oranges and yellows also connote excitement.

Hot steamy excitement like one would expect to encounter in the jungles of tropical America.

To build a tropical paradise you’ll first need some structure. A great plant to use for structure is a Musa basjoo, a hardy banana plant — sorry folks, no Chiquita bananas here, just foliage — that will grow 12 feet tall in one season.

Pair that with a Paulownia tomentosa tree, which grows to 15 feet in one year (if chopped to the ground the previous winter), and you have the bones of a tropical border.

Next, plant a few gold and purple smoke trees,

The results have been stunning if I do say so myself.

To create a tropical border one needs to develop an eye for foliage, particularly bold leaves and strong colors like gold or purple.

This contrast in colors is what creates drama in our

Add in some hot-colored annuals around the edges and voila, you have a tropical garden.

I would be remiss not to mention painter’s pallet persicaria, Jessie euphorbia, cardoons, melianthus major, red hot pokers, scarlet floral carpet roses, black lace elderberry and the monster of all tropicals,

of Hecht’s in 1995, which is now part of Macy’s.

Q: A “Baby’s Pal” teething ring rattle was found in my husband’s parents’ estate. It’s in the original box. I’m trying to find out the date so I can figure out to who used it. Can you help?

A: Lunt Silversmiths made the “Baby’s Pal” teething ring rattle in 1934. The teething ring is mother-of-pearl and the attached rattle is sterling silver. They sell online for $15 to $20. Your original box may add value.

Q: My mother had a tufted bedspread in her 1940s college room. She called it a Bates bedspread, but didn’t know its history.

Can you help?

A: The Bates bedspread was first made over 150 years ago. Bates Manufacturing Co. started in Maine in 1850, and first made bedspreads in 1857.

During the Civil War, Mr. Bates bought cotton for the Union army. The company prospered and in 1940 introduced “George Washington’s Choice,” a design inspired by a bedspread Washington gave his wife. That pattern is still made. Many old spreads have been given to the next generation. College spreads were so popular with students the company made a series of designs inspired by history and presidents. The company is still making bedspreads in the U.S. Vintage bedspreads were made from 100 percent cotton on old shuttle looms. The fringe and other finishing was

theme, another is an ode to Japan and yet another a French-style area with ball-shaped boxwood.

Over the years, since moving to Snohomish 31 years ago, Henry has removed some of the big trees in his garden to make way for other plants.

“Sometimes you just have to be brutal,” he said. “I wanted to try new things in this fabulous loamy soil. We’re so near the Pilchuck River.”

Henry, long a plant collector, has a beautiful variety of clematis, morning glory and blue hydrangeas on the north side of the house.

“Some were those I bought at the grocery story for inside and then planted them outside,” Henry said. “When people ask where those hydrangeas are from, I say they are ‘early Safeway.’ I don’t buy everything at fancy garden stores.”

He also has a potted herb garden near the back porch and the kitchen, several fruit trees, as well as a vegetable garden that grows on a wall.

A retired Lake Washington School District music teacher, Henry, 74, is a former member of the St. James Cathedral Choir in Seattle. The garden art includes some retired pipes from the cathedral’s

organ, which add a special architectural feature.

Henry has toured Europe numerous times and incorporates ideas from Italy, England and France at every chance.

“I am still a teacher and I enjoy encouraging people to try new ideas in their own gardens,” he said.

On the day of the tour, Henry and Garaas will be on hand to answer questions.

“I have loved plants since I was a child,” Henry said. “And in this garden, every week is different.”

tetrapanax papyrifera “steriodal giant,” the Chinese rice paper plant. All of these plants work together to create the illusion of a tropical jungle.

What I find truly amazing is the transformation that takes place between early March and midAugust. During this time my tropical border goes from nuclear waste zone to biomass extraordinaire.

Where there was exposed soil in April, there is now overlapping leafy vegetation. Plants that were visible in May are now obliterated by adjacent foliage. The border that was virtually transparent in February is now impenetrable.

This rampant growth is

the essence of a tropical border. It personifies what we think of as a tropical jungle. In a very primeval sense, it is intoxicating and sensual in nature.

The month of July is the perfect time to find tropical-looking plants at the garden center — along with real tropical ones as well. Come down and check out my garden — my home is next door to the nursery — and if you find yourself getting excited perhaps it’s time to plant your own tropical border.

done by hand. Early 1900s spreads had a woven label.

Later labels were printed.

In the 1960s, bright colors were used for the woven parts and a contrasting color for the fringe. And remember, the original box adds value.

Q: I’d like to sell a wall clock I’ve had since 1968.

I think it’s rosewood. The top section with the clock face is octagonal. The lower section has a small glass door that shows the pendulum. It looks like a Regulator clock, but the bottom is shorter. The dial is white with Roman numerals surrounded by Arabic numerals 1 through 31. The back is marked Gilbert Clock Co. What are the extra numbers for? What is it worth?

A: You have a “short drop” Regulator calendar clock called a “schoolhouse” clock. The style was widely used in schools and post offices, shops and other public places. Your clock has a calendar hand

that indicates the day of the month on the Arabic numbers. William L. Gilbert (1806-1890) was involved in clock making companies in Bristol, Farmington and Winsted, Connecticut, beginning in 1828. After various partnerships and a factory fire, he formed the William L. Gilbert Clock Co. in Winsted in 1871. The company made inexpensive clocks. Cases usually were oak or rosewood.

Gilbert died in 1890, but the company name was used for 63 more years.

After the 1930s Depression, the company reorganized.

It was sold in 1964. Your clock was made about 1880 and would sell for $120 to $175.

Tip: Watch out for pets if you have wicker furniture.

Clawing cats, pecking birds and chewing dogs cause noticeable damage.

Couple can’t afford to socialize

DAILY CROSSWORD

Adapted from a recent online discussion.

Dear Carolyn: My husband and I are very financially constrained, partly by choice (we want someone home with the kids). In order to make this work, we are SUPER frugal and have had at least one financialadviser type look at us quizzically and ask how we live on so little money.

The problem is, we can’t seem to socialize with any of the people around us, because they all seem to have more money to spare. All of our middle-class, college-educated friends seem to think nothing about grabbing a coffee here, and lunch there, taking the kids out to a show, whatever, as long as it’s moderately priced. How can we politely turn things down that we would love to do? How do we explain that “moderately priced” is out of our price range?

— Too Poor for a Social Life Through one-on-one conversations. Explain that you want to see them and you want to do fun things, but they have to be freefree. Not, five bucks and buy a hot dog at the concession stand, but $0 and maybe pack a picnic. Then follow up by being the ones to suggest things and invite friends to them: “There’s a free kids’ concert at The Local Arts Venue. We’re bringing

CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT PBJs and making an afternoon of it — wanna come with?”

Then when you have to turn things down, just say you’d love to but you can’t, thanks for the invitation, maybe next time? Even better, suggest a specific thing — “We can’t go, I’m sorry. Next weekend, though, we’re planning to (blank).

Would you like to come?”

Carolyn: How can I explain this to people I don’t know as well? We often get invitations to go out as a getto-know-you kind of thing, but it’s very awkward to explain to acquaintances, and I don’t want to sound like I’m asking them to pay.

— Too Poor again Don’t explain, just decline the invitation politely, and then make a note to reciprocate — if not on the spot, then soon — with an invitation to something you can afford.

Yes, thank you — though they’ll still have to be ready with an answer to, “Oh come on, it’s just 5 bucks a person,” or, “It’s our treat, then.” If they fumble for a response, they could walk away feeling bad despite being technically “right.”

Re: Too Poor: Also give some thought as to how your financial inability to participate in community life affects your kids, and weigh that against the benefits of having a full-time stay-home parent. My parents were kind of like you guys. I did like having my mom home, but in middle school, it was really hard to be the kid dressed in out-of-style handme-downs, who could never afford to go out to a movie with friends.

In retrospect, I think the extreme frugality did us more social damage than it was worth. There can be a middle ground, such as a part-time job to allow the family a little financial breathing room.

Daughter can’t resolve mom’s failure to defend her Dear Abby: I’m in my early 50s, disabled and live with my elderly mother.

Between the ages of 8 and 11 I was sexually abused by my adoptive father. My mother finally caught him in the act, but the next day they acted like nothing had happened. He never did it again, and it was never spoken about, ever.

I have read about women who caught their husbands abusing their children and kicked them out, pressed charges, etc. It makes me think I didn’t matter enough for her to do that.

I confronted her about it a few years ago. Her response was that it would have been in all the papers (my parents were prominent local musicians in our town), and there was no way she could have raised two kids on her own.

I still have a deep ache in my soul that tells me that I don’t matter as much as other human beings. I resist going to therapy because I live with her and I know she will quiz me about what we talked about in the sessions. I just want to keep the peace and not risk her going into a tirade about how she “did what she had to do.” I don’t know what to do. Please help. — Still Hurting In Nevada Dear Still Hurting: You should absolutely talk about this to a therapist. If your mother demands to know what you’re discussing, tell her. If she unleashes a tirade, invite her to accompany you to a session so she can explain to your therapist that she didn’t kick her child-molesting husband out because she was afraid she couldn’t support herself and two children alone. (Was your sibling also assaulted?)

intimidating you with her anger. If anyone has a right to be angry, it is you. And she should clearly understand how her inaction affected you for all these years, and possibly your sibling, as well.

Dear Abby: I never used to be a supporter of samesex marriage. During the 2008 presidential elections, I posted my opinions about it on social media. Since then, I have changed my mind. The most significant reason is that I worked closely with a gay woman for four years. After I got to know her, her wife and two children, I realized they are the same as any other happy family.

I feel I may have offended some friends when I posted those views — specifically, my best friend from childhood, who has come out as gay. I’d like to send her a message letting her know my opinion has changed and that I support her. Do you think I should reach out to her, or leave the past in the past? And if I do, what should I say? — Adding My Voice For Equality Dear Adding: By all means tell your friend about your change of heart since those posts were written, that you hope her life is happy and fulfilling, and offer an apology if you caused her any hurt. If you would like to explain why your feelings changed, do that, too. I’m sure she will be interested, and glad to know.

If he threw one, Hampson could take dummy’s king and exit with a club, forcing West to lead a heart from his king at the end. East also had to save one high diamond, else declarer’s ten would score.

So East pitched his four of hearts. Hampson then led the ace and queen of hearts, setting up dummy’s nine for a 10th trick.

ANSWER: Your opponents can make a game or slam. You have many tactical approaches: You could pass, raise gently to four clubs or try a bluff such as 3NT. Against good opponents, I would favor an “advance sacrifice.” Jump to five or six clubs and let them sort things out at a high level.

Keillor will exit ‘Prairie Home’ in 2016

By Jeff Baenen Associated Press

ST. PAUL, Minn. — Garrison Keillor, creator and longtime host of the popular “A Prairie Home Companion” radio show, says he means it this time: He’s retiring.

In an interview Monday with The Associated Press, Keillor said he plans to step down as host after next season — following four decades of entertaining listeners with his baritone voice and folksy comedy sketches about Lake Wobegon, his mythical Minnesota hometown “where all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, and all the children are above average.”

The show is heard by 4 million listeners nationwide on nearly 700 public radio stations each week.

Keillor also takes summer bus tours for live shows, and his 30-city “America the Beautiful” cross-country tour, billed as his farewell tour, starts next week.

“I have a lot of other things that I want to do. I mean, nobody retires anymore. Writers never retire.

But this is my last season.

This tour this summer is the farewell tour,” the 72-year-old Keillor said, laughing and joking as he sat in his book-lined office in St. Paul wearing his signature red socks.

Keillor said he chosen musician Chris Thile of the bands Punch Brothers and Nickel Creek to succeed him full-time as host in September 2016, following guest-hosting spots. He

Garrison Keillor, creator and host of “A Prairie Home Companion,” discusses his retirement plans during an interview in his St. Paul, Minnesota, office.

said Thile — a mandolin whiz — will help return “Prairie Home” to its roots as a music show.

Keillor will end his tenure as show host with performances at some of his favorite outdoor venues, including Wolf Trap near Washington, D.C., Ravinia near Chicago and Tanglewood in Massachusetts, according to “A Prairie Home Companion” spokesman David O’Neill.

The location of Keillor’s final show as host, in July 2016, has not been determined yet, O’Neill said.

The Berkshire (Massachusetts) Eagle first reported last month on Keillor’s plans to “transition” out of the show. But given Keillor’s history — he talked about retiring when he turned 70 in 2013 — many media outlets were cautious. The Minneapolis

Star Tribune noted Keillor had “announced an upcoming retirement so many times that he could be called the Brett Favre of broadcast radio.”

But he insisted Monday that his decision was solid.

He said he plans to stay on as executive producer, but only “an admirer” and “a gray eminence” of the onair show, which he said will keep its Midwestern focus.

“I’m perfectly willing to do whatever needs to be done. I can certainly come on the show as a guest, you know, I can do the warmup. I can stand in the wings and wind up microphone cord,” Keillor said.

Keillor said that means retiring his weekly monologue, “News from Lake Wobegon,” a homey recounting of the doings of Norwegian bachelor farmers and other Lake Wobegon residents, along with his sketches about hard-boiled detective Guy Noir and hapless modernday cowboys Dusty and Lefty.

As for retirement, Keillor has a few plans, including traveling.

“I’ve been everywhere, and I’ve seen very little. I’ve seen a lot of hotels, a lot of airports, I’ve seen the backseats of cabs and I’ve seen back stages of theaters,” he said. “I go to all these wonderful places and I never walk around and I never see things. Because I’m working.”

Keillor also said he would like to make another movie. A movie version of “A Prairie Home Companion” hit theaters in 2006 to critical acclaim and modest box-office success.

Keillor said he has finished writing a Lake Wobegon screenplay, about a young man who returns for his father’s funeral and reconnects with a high school girlfriend.

“It’s got a funeral, it’s got a big Fourth of July parade, and it’s got, you know, two people taking each other’s clothes off,” he said.

“Everything we look for in a movie.”

Today is Thursday, July 23, the 204th day of 2015.

There are 161 days left in the year.

Today’s highlight: On July 23, 1945, French Marshal Henri Petain, who had headed the pro-Axis Vichy government during World War II, went on trial, charged with treason.

(He was convicted and condemned to death, but the sentence was commuted to life in prison. On this date in 1951, Petain died in prison.)

On this date: In 1885, Ulysses S. Grant, the 18th president of the United States, died in Mount McGregor, New York, at age 63.

In 1886, a legend was born as Steve Brodie claimed to have made a daredevil plunge from the Brooklyn Bridge into New York’s East River.

(However, there are doubts about whether the dive actually took place.)

In 1914, AustriaHungary presented a list of demands to Serbia following the killing of Archduke Franz Ferdinand by a Serb assassin; Serbia’s refusal to agree to the entire ultimatum led to the outbreak of World War I. In 1952, Egyptian military officers led by Gamal Abdel Nasser launched a successful coup against King

Farouk I. In 1967, a week of deadly race-related rioting that claimed 43 lives erupted in Detroit.

In 1982, actor Vic Morrow and two child actors, 7-year-old Myca Dinh Le and 6-year-old Renee Shin-Yi Chen, were killed when a helicopter crashed on top of them during filming of a Vietnam War scene for “Twilight Zone: The Movie.” (Director John Landis and four associates were later acquitted of manslaughter.)

In 1984, Vanessa Williams became the first Miss America to resign her title, after nude photographs of her taken in 1982 were published in Penthouse magazine.

In 1990, President George H.W. Bush announced his choice of Judge David Souter of New Hampshire to succeed the retiring Justice William J. Brennan on the U.S. Supreme Court.

In 1997, the search for Andrew Cunanan, the suspected killer of designer Gianni Versace and others, ended as police found his body on a houseboat in Miami Beach, an apparent suicide.

In 2011, singer Amy Winehouse, 27, was found dead in her London home from accidental alcohol poisoning.
