Two injured in house fire Families displaced after blaze destroys one home, spreads to another

Eyman tackles sales taxes Opponents say his new measure is a misuse of the initiative process and that it uses blackmail and extortion to force lawmakers to act.

Owners of a house that burned in Mukilteo on Wednesday afternoon are treated by emergency personnel after suffering minor burns and smoke inhalation. Their home, on 110th Place SW in the Harbour Pointe neighborhood, caught fire around 2:15 p.m. and flames spread to the home next door.

MUKILTEO — Two people were injured in a fire Wednesday afternoon that destroyed their home and spread to the neighbors’ house, leaving both families displaced.

The fire started about 2:15 p.m. on 110th Place SW in the Harbour Pointe neighborhood of Mukilteo. The cause is under investigation.

A man and a woman who live in the destroyed house were taken to the hospital, Mukilteo Fire Chief Chris Alexander said. The man had burns to his hands, and both apparently suffered from smoke inhalation. Their ages weren’t made public Wednesday.

At least two vehicles parked outside their home were burned.

The firefighting was complicated by a gas line between the two houses. Smoke was visible for miles and flying embers touched off small fires in nearby yards. Crews expected See FIRE, Page A2

OLYMPIA — Tim Eyman is at it again.

The professional initiative promoter from Mukilteo is pushing a ballot measure this fall aimed at making it tougher on state lawmakers to increase taxes. And it contains a twist that could reduce state revenues by billions of dollars in the coming years.

Not surprisingly, opponents are pushing back hard. They contend Eyman’s Initiative 1366 could devastate the state budget and is unconstitutional. They are suing to keep it off the November ballot.

Initiative 1366 would shave a penny off the state’s 6.5-cent sales tax unless a constitutional amendment requiring a two-thirds supermajority of the Legislature to raise taxes without a public vote is put on the ballot next year.

This is not a new idea. Voters have repeatedly approved such a supermajority requirement but the state Supreme Court struck it down in 2013 as unconstitutional.

Part of the problem, justices said, is voters can’t amend the Constitution by initiative. Lawmakers are the ones who must amend the Constitution then let voters ratify or reject the change, the court determined.

“The court said you have to do it this way,” Eyman said, in explaining why the measure focuses on getting lawmakers to act. “Clearly a supermajority is what the voters want.”

The first house was a complete loss; the second was extensively damaged.

Bail hearing deals with suspect’s unknown age EVERETT — It wasn’t your typical bail hearing.

On that point, the prosecutor, defense attorney and judge could agree.

The question before the court was one of age. Was the suspect, who’s from the African nation of Gambia, a juvenile or an adult?

It appears to be a case of conflicting and missing documents and perhaps a doctored birth certificate.

California adds extra crews during fire season

By Janie Har Associated Press

LAKEPORT, Calif. — The firefighters come from near and far, working 24-hour shifts to snuff out an unpredictable blaze that has burned more than 100 square miles in Northern California near a major recreational lake.

They bunk in tight sleepers and eat in a big mess hall. They depart in the mornings with enormous high-calorie sack lunches of sandwiches and cookies

as others come back tired, footsore and hungry to their makeshift base at the Lake County fairgrounds.

The National Interagency Fire Center in Idaho has listed the fire 110 miles north of San Francisco as the nation’s highest priority for crews and equipment. It is the largest of 23 fires statewide and takes up nearly a third of the 10,000 firefighters dispatched in California, which has become tinder box amid years of drought.

The good news is state fire officials prepared for

a drought-fueled fire season and staffed up early with several hundred more firefighters than previous years, Cal Fire spokesman Daniel Berlant said.

“We’re definitely at a medium to high level of activity but we’re not at extreme, where we are low on resources by any means,” he said. “That helps us out if there are new fires.”

Across the U.S., 118 fires are burning on 2,757 square miles, according to the Idaho fire center. About 17,200 people are fighting

those fires, but resources are not tapped out yet, center spokeswoman Robyn Broyles said. If civilian crews run low, officials can call on national guard and military crews.

August is the height of fire season, and while the number of fires nationally is below average, the 9,361 square miles burned to date is about 50 percent above average. Most of that — 7,731 square miles — has been in Alaska.

On Wednesday, evacuation orders for a small

Washington town were lifted after a fast-growing wildfire bypassed the community. (See Page B1.)

In California, the Department of Fire and Forestry Protection has responded to 4,200 fires this year — 1,500 more than average, Berlant said.

The biggest is in rugged terrain in Lake, Yolo and Colusa counties, and its cause is under investigation.

More than 13,000 people have been required or urged to leave their homes,

cabins and campsites, and at least 39 homes have been destroyed.

Some of the 3,400 firefighters on the blaze have been here since it started a week ago. The fire isn’t expected to be fully corralled until at least Monday.

As much as crews love the work, fatigue inevitably sets in.

“This is our seventh day,” said Seaton King, a battalion chief with the Pasadena Fire Department. “You kind of get used to it, but it’s still taxing ...”

politics. He didn’t even vote in the primary because he says he was busy.

Robert Gray can’t explain how he defeated the trial lawyer who was the favored candidate of the party establishment in Tuesday’s primary.

Gray, who has lived in the Jackson area most of his life, visited the state Capitol on Wednesday for what he said was the first time — and it was at the request of reporters trying to answer the biggest question in this Republican-dominated

state: Who the heck is this guy?

“Everybody’s been trying to figure out who I am.

I guess I’m a quiet person, by nature,” said Gray, who uses the CB handle “Silent Knight,” because, well, he’s not exactly chatty.

Democrats controlled Mississippi politics for decades, but they’ve been steamrolled in most governor’s races for a generation.

Now, many longtime Democrats worry that Gray will simply be the next hapless victim of a well-funded

Republican machine.

Gray has driven a big rig since the early 1990s and said he is making his first run for office because Republican Gov. Phil Bryant is failing to help improve life in a state where poverty is a persistent problem.

The second house also was extensively damaged and “won’t be livable for a while,” Alexander said.

It’s been home to the Kornegay family for 24 years. They were trying to find a place to stay Wednesday night, said Teresa Kornegay, 53. She and her husband raised two kids, now 21 and 19, in that house.

Her husband was working in Mukilteo and made it home first, she said.

“He called me on the phone and said our house is on fire,” she said.

Someone knocked down the fence to free their two dogs. A neighbor took the animals inside her home, Kornegay said. There was no word on whether the family’s belongings can be salvaged, she said. Water was seeping throughout

decrease and state coffers would begin to reap fewer revenues. Those losses would total as much $1.7 billion in the current two-year budget and $8 billion through mid2021, according to a legally required fiscal impact statement by the Office of Financial Management.

Opponents claim the measure is a misuse of the initiative process. They use terms like blackmail and extortion in describing the situation facing lawmakers if they fail to support a constitutional amendment.

Losing billions of

dollars would make it nearly impossible for the state to meet a Supreme Court order to fully fund schools in the McCleary case, they said.

“This is the most destructive, mean-spirited initiative that Tim Eyman has ever qualified for the ballot,” said Andrew Villeneuve, founder of Northwest Progressive Institute that is part of a coalition fighting the measure.

Eyman said there’s no threat. Lawmakers have a choice and the measure contains consequences for

their decision, he said.

“They can follow whatever path they want to follow,” he said. “I think the vote on 1366 is going to inspire the Legislature to let the people vote on a constitutional amendment.”

The court battle to keep the initiative off the November ballot begins with a hearing Aug. 14 in King County Superior Court.

Opponents claim I-1366’s title — “2/3 Constitutional Amendment” — makes clear the true purpose is to amend the Constitution by initiative, which is illegal

under state law.

“If the proponents want a constitutional amendment then they should lobby like everybody else to convince lawmakers this is what they want,” said state Sen. David Frockt, D-Seattle, one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit.

Eyman said the lawsuit “illustrates their desperation.”

“If they thought voters were on their side, they wouldn’t try to block voters from having a say,” Eyman said.

of her.

They’d been in the same grade at school in Africa, but different grades in America, she said.

“This is a murky situation,” the judge said.

Both sides zeroed in on the birth certificate.

Defense lawyer Braden Pence said it should be used to determine Faye’s age.

“If you are going to err, err on the side of caution,” he said.

Deputy prosecutor Cindy Larsen described what appeared to be changes made to the certificate — changes to make Faye appear to be a juvenile.

“I believe this document has been doctored,” she told the judge.

Ultimately, Howard found that the evidence was stronger in favor of the suspect being an adult.

What sheriff’s office investigators sought but couldn’t find was Faye’s Gambian passport, the one used to gain entry into the U.S. Even before this arrest, documents in juvenile court show discrepancies about the defendant’s age.

After a 2012 arrest, Faye’s date of birth was listed in paperwork as October 1994. In that same file, when he pleaded guilty, it was listed as October 1997.

After a 2014 assault arrest, the birth date was listed as May 1997. Juvenile court sentences tend to be shorter than ones in

adult court.

Court papers indicate Faye graduated from high school in June 2014.

Faye pleaded guilty to assault in the 2014 case, admitting he took part in an attack on a college student in north Lynnwood.

In a police report at the time, Faye was identified as belonging to a south Snohomish County gang.

Meanwhile, court papers filed on behalf of Faye and his sister in April and June urged authorities to allow them to stay in the United States as minors. The documents allege the pair could be mistreated if forced to return to Gambia.

According to the narrative, they were brought to

America by their parents when they were young.

Their parents moved back to Gambia but left them with people in North Carolina and later Washington state. Along the way, there were allegations of abuse and neglect. Faye spent time in homeless shelters.

Neither he, nor his sister, have recognized legal guardians, court papers filed earlier this year say.

Faye remains in the Snohomish County Jail where he was booked for possession of a stolen firearm and unlawful possession of a firearm. Bail was set at $25,000.

ELECTION 2015

Somers holds slim lead in county exec race

By Noah Haglund Herald Writer

EVERETT — The leaders in the primary for Snohomish County executive switched places in updated ballot counts released Wednesday.

The latest totals from Tuesday’s primary election showed County Council Chairman Dave Somers

with a five-vote lead over incumbent John Lovick. The night before, Somers had trailed Lovick by almost 900 votes.

The two Democrats, with about 32 percent of the votes each, appear to be the finalists from the five-person field. Under the toptwo voting rules, the leaders will face off again in the Nov. 3 general election.

The majority of the votes for the primary have been tallied already, but there are more to go.

Ballots counted so far reflect 18 percent of the 420,529 issued.

“While we will still receive on-time ballots in the coming days, it does appear that Snohomish County will have a total turnout short of the 26 percent (statewide) projection,” county

elections manager Garth Fell said.

The updated results did not affect the top-two finishers in city council and school board races around the county, including in Everett, Lynnwood, Lake Stevens and Mukilteo.

A proposal to create a taxing district to support parks in the city of Snohomish continued to

fail, with more than two-thirds of voters opposed.

Facing elimination from the executive’s race was third-place finisher Robert Sutherland, a Republican who captured about 26 percent. Sutherland trailed Somers and Lovick by more than 4,600 votes.

‘Bladder Grabber’ time in Snohomish Model airplanes take flight, engage in combat this weekend at Harvey Field

By Amy Nile Herald Writer

SNOHOMISH — It’s loud, it’s fast and it’s aggressive.

The 37th annual “Bladder Grabber,” a line-flying competition for model airplanes, is set to take place Friday through Sunday at Harvey Field in Snohomish.

The fast-combat tournament features model airplanes flying on cables that are controlled with handles from the ground.

Streamers are tied to the back

of the planes, which try to fly behind their competitors and cut the streamers with their propellers.

“We dogfight with them basically,” said Jeffrey Rein, the 18-year veteran contest director.

Spectators are sure to see plane crashes and mid-air collisions.

Rein, of Covington, said the event was dubbed the “Bladder Grabber” because the planes have pressurized fuel systems that use bladders to carry the fuel.

“Where they got the grabber part is anybody’s guess,” he said.

Rein said about half of the competitors build their own planes, which can reach speeds of 125 miles per hour. He expects to have about 15 entries from across the U.S. and Canada for the tournament.

The event was larger when it started in the 1970s, Rein said.

“It’s one of those sports that’s fading but those of us who like to do it still fly,” he said. “Most of us are in our 60s. It’s a hobby that’s

a passion for people.”

The tournament starts at noon Friday. Seven rounds are scheduled to be flown Saturday and Sunday. The contest culminates with a championship match.

The $50 entrance fee includes lunch all three days. Prizes include motors for model airplanes.

Trump spices up thoughts of state primary

hether The Donald gets a chance to make good on his campaign’s Make America Great Again motto won’t be known for a seeming eternity.

But right now Donald Trump is making the quadrennial pursuit for the presidency interesting, months before it should be on our minds at all.

It’s what he says. It’s the way he says it. And it’s those views, and his bravado, that have put the business magnate ahead of all Republican hopefuls.

His performance thus far is why a large audience is expected to observe Thursday’s debate featuring he and the next nine brightest stars — according to the latest polls — in the constellation of Republican candidates.

The event comes days before there is another conversation in

JERRY CORNFIELD Washington about when this state should conduct its presidential primary — or if it should have one at all.

Secretary of State Kim Wyman will sit down with Democratic and Republican party leaders next week and try to convince them to hold it March 8, 2016, rather than May 24, when it is now scheduled.

She’ll argue the change will give Washington a scent of importance to contestants in the

presidential selection process.

This will attract some to the state to campaign, bringing attention to issues of state import while pumping a few dollars into the local economy.

The state’s Republican Party is game for redoing the calendar. It intends to allot its batch of delegates to candidates based on results of the primary and voting in caucuses.

The state’s Democratic Party is not. It will ignore the results and allot delegates solely based on caucus voting. Many party leaders oppose holding the primary, saying it’s not worth the $11.5 million it will cost the state. Washington canceled the primaries in 2012 and 2004, citing budget reasons.

This is where The Donald may be a persuasive argument to change their minds.

EVERETT — City staff are conducting a survey of businesses and residents about how they use parking downtown.

The survey will lead up to a comprehensive study of downtown parking usage this fall.

The timing between the survey and the recent dustup with Snohomish County over the new courthouse is purely coincidental.

A tentative agreement between the city and county over parking at a new courthouse is now in tatters after the Everett City Council postponed taking action recently.

The agreement would have committed the county to leasing 300 parking spaces in a new parking garage if one were to be built in the next 15 years.

Meanwhile, the County Council is considering scrapping the new courthouse project entirely.

Whether or not the city or another party will ever build a new parking garage is unknown.

Everett had already been moving forward on its downtown parking study when the courthouse parking issue blew up.

The controversy is not likely to affect the city’s parking study, city engineer Ryan Sass said.

But is clear is that, as the economy has picked up, parking has become tighter downtown.

The city is closely following the model used in 2008, starting with interviews with downtown business owners and people who took part in the previous study, Sass said.

The online survey is targeted at a broader audience.

The survey was posted this week at surveymonkey.com/s/ parkingevere. It asks residents, business owners and visitors where and how long they park, their perceptions of congestion, how the current rules are working and what other suggestions or comments they have.

The results of the survey and the initial interviews will be presented at a special forum on parking Aug. 18 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. in the Weyerhaeuser Room of the Everett Station.

In the fall, the city will monitor every on-street parking space every hour all day on a single representative day. That will provide data about how parking is being used.

Some of the measures enacted after the 2008 study were the standardizing of the street parking limit of 90 minutes and imposing higher fines for those who “re-park”: moving their car around downtown to different spots to stay ahead of the 90-minute time limit.

Debris said to be from Malaysia 777

By Eileen Ng Associated Press

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — A piece of a wing found washed up on Reunion Island last week is from Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 that vanished last year, Malaysia’s prime minister announced Thursday, saying he hoped the news ends the “unspeakable” uncertainty of the passengers’ families.

Yet authorities in France, the U.S. and Australia were more cautious, stopping short of full confirmation. Some relatives said the mixed messages were causing them yet more confusion and anxiety.

The disappearance of the Boeing 777 jetliner 515 days ago while on a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8, 2014, has been one of the biggest mysteries in aviation history. Officials believed it crashed in the southern Indian Ocean, killing all 239 people aboard, but it is unknown why the plane went down.

“It is with a very heavy heart that I must tell you that an international team of experts has conclusively confirmed that the aircraft debris found on Reunion Island is indeed MH370,” Prime Minister Najib Razak told reporters. The French territory is thousands of miles from the area being searched for wreckage from the flight.

U.S. and French officials involved in the investigation were more cautious, stopping short of full confirmation but saying it made sense that the metal piece of the wing, known as the flaperon, came from Flight 370.

Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak prepares to speak at a news conference announcing the findings for Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on Thursday.

Malaysia, saying that “based on high probability, it is MH370.”

Australia, which has sent an official to France to help examine the flaperon, has said the find will not affect its sonar search of a 46,000-square-mile expanse of seabed more than 2,500 miles east of Reunion Island.

That search, which began in October, has covered almost half that area without finding any clues.

Intact and encrusted with barnacles, the flaperon was found on a beach and sent to France for scrutiny by the French civil aviation investigation department known by its

acronym BEA, and members from its Malaysian and Australian counterparts.

“We now have physical evidence that, as I announced on 24th March last year, flight MH370 tragically ended in the southern Indian Ocean,” Najib said.

“The burden and uncertainty faced by the families during this time has been unspeakable. It is my hope that this confirmation, however tragic and painful, will at least bring certainty to the families and loved ones of the 239 people onboard MH370. They have our deepest sympathy and prayers,” he said.

At a news conference in Paris, Deputy Prosecutor Serge Mackowiak didn’t outright confirm that the debris belonged to Flight 370 but said there were strong indications that it was the case.

“The very strong conjectures are to be confirmed by complementary analysis that will begin tomorrow morning,” Mackowiak said. “The experts are conducting their work as fast as they can in order to give complete and reliable information as quickly as possible.”

A U.S. official familiar with the investigation said the flaperon clearly is from a Boeing 777.

However, a team of experts in France examining the part hadn’t yet been able to find anything linking it specifically to the missing plane, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because there was no authorization to talk publicly about the case.

With no other 777s or flaperons known to be missing, it makes sense that the part comes from Flight 370, but the U.S. and Boeing team members are merely trying “to be precise,” the official said.

Analysts say the investigators will examine the metal with high-powered microscopes to gain insight into what caused the plane to go down.

It is also not known why Flight 370 — less than an hour into the journey — turned back from its original flight path and headed in an opposite direction before turning left and flying south over the Indian Ocean for hours.

Malaysia Airlines said in a statement that relatives of the passengers and crew “have already been informed and we extend our deepest sympathies to those affected.”

Half of blacks claim unfair treatment

By Jesse J. Holland Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A majority of blacks in the United States — more than 3 out of 5 — say they or a family member have personal experience with being treated unfairly by the police, and their race is the reason.

Half of African-American respondents, including 6 in 10 black men, said they personally had been treated unfairly by police because of their race, compared with 3 percent of whites. Another 15 percent said they knew of a family member who had been treated unfairly by the police because of their race.

This information, from a survey conducted by the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, comes as the Michael Brown shooting in Ferguson, Missouri,

approaches its first anniversary and the nation continues to grapple with police-related deaths of black Americans.

White Americans who live in more diverse communities — where census data show at least 25 percent of the population is nonwhite — were more likely than other whites to say police in their communities mistreat minorities, 58 percent to 42 percent. And they’re more likely to see the police as too quick to use deadly force, 42 percent to 29 percent.

The AP-NORC poll also showed: ■■More than two-thirds of blacks — 71 percent — thought police are treated too leniently by the criminal justice system when they hurt or kill people.

A third of whites say police are getting away with it, while nearly half — 46 percent — say the police are treated fairly by the criminal justice system.

■■Sixty-two percent of whites said a major reason why police violence happens is that civilians confront the police, rather than cooperate, when they are stopped. Three out of 4 blacks, or 75 percent, said it is because the consequences of police misconduct are minimal, and few officers are prosecuted for excessive use of force. More than 7 in 10 blacks identified problems with race relations, along with poor police-community relations, as major reasons for police violence.

■■Nearly 3 out of 4 whites — 74 percent — thought race had nothing to do with how police in their communities decide to use deadly force. Among blacks, 71 percent thought police were more likely to use deadly force against black people in their communities, and 85 percent said the same thing applied generally across the country. Fifty-eight percent of

whites thought race had nothing to do with police decisions in most communities on use of deadly force.

Seventy-two percent of whites said they always or often trust police to do right by them and their community, while 66 percent of blacks said they only sometimes, rarely or never trust the police to do what is right.

The AP-NORC Poll of 1,223 adults, including 311 black adults, was conducted online and by phone July 17-July 19, using a sample drawn from NORC’s probability-based AmeriSpeak panel, which is designed to be representative of the U.S. population. The margin of sampling error for all respondents is plus or minus 4.2 percentage points. For results among black respondents, the margin of error is plus or minus 9.1 percentage points.

Trump, Bush lead GOP debate lineup

By Steve Peoples Associated Press

CLEVELAND — Ten candidates have made the cut for the first Republican presidential debate Thursday, with polling front-runner Donald Trump hoping for a civil evening but ready to pounce if attacked.

The seven others lagging in the polls are relegated to an afternoon forum.

Sharing the Cleveland stage with the billionaire businessman will be former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Ohio Gov. John Kasich.

Candidates participating in the earlier forum are former tech executive Carly Fiorina, former Texas Gov. Rick Perry,

When to watch The GOP has the largest field of contenders in modern memory. Fox News used an average of five national polls to decide the lineups.

The debate with 10 leading candidates will be broadcast Thursday on Fox News at 6 p.m. PT. A forum featuring the remaining seven rivals begins at 2 p.m.

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, former New York Gov. George Pataki and former Virginia Gov. Jim Gilmore.

Fox News relied on an average of five national polls to decide the lineups.

“We never ever envisioned we’d have 17 major candidates,” said Steve Duprey, New Hampshire’s representative to the Republican National Committee who helped craft the debate plan. “There’s no perfect solution.”

Republican officials were particularly concerned about Fiorina’s status, hoping she would help balance Democratic front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton’s push to rally women. Trump’s recent surge in the polls damaged Fiorina’s chances.

Some Republicans fear that Trump’s rhetoric on immigration and other issues could hurt the party.

“I probably am the target,” he said Wednesday on ABC’s “Good Morning America.” He said he did not want to attack any of his rivals and preferred

to “just discuss the issues” in the course of a “very civil” debate. Still, he made clear that if attacked, he would have “to do something back.”

Trump was the front-runner in the five most recent national polls that determined the debate lineup. Several candidates were grouped together in the single digits, most separated by a number smaller than the margin of error.

For example, in a Monmouth University survey released Monday, Kasich was the 10th candidate with the support of 3.2 percent of voters. But after taking the margin of error into account, Monmouth noted that Kasich’s support could be as low as 1.5 percent, while almost any of the candidates who polled lower could be that high or higher.

Five more party-sanctioned debates are scheduled before primary voting begins in February.

ACROSS THE U.S.

Man with pellet gun, ax, attacks theater ANTIOCH, Tenn. —A man armed with a hatchet and a pellet gun unleashed a volley of pepper spray at audience members inside a movie theater Wednesday before being fired at by a police officer and shot dead by a SWAT team as he tried to escape out a back door, police said.

The attacker, identified as Vincente David Montano, 29, of Nashville, was carrying two backpacks and he wore a surgical mask, possibly to protect himself from the pepper spray he unleashed in large amounts, Metro Nashville Police said. Three people were blasted with the spray and treated. There were eight people in the theater, including the assailant, police said.

D.C.: Costly rocket seats NASA is asking Congress for another half billion dollars to pay Russia to fly astronauts to the International Space Station. NASA Administrator Charles Bolden on Wednesday requested $490 million to pay for six seats on Soyuz rockets for astronauts to fly through 2017. That comes to nearly $82 million a seat. Bolden said Congress didn’t add enough to the commercial space program so that launches from U.S. soil had to be pushed back two years, requiring more Russian rides. NASA wanted the money to help Space X and Boeing pay for new rockets and capsules that would launch from America.

Flaws found at IRS Management flaws at the IRS contributed to a “dysfunctional culture” that allowed agents to mistreat conservative political groups when they applied for tax-exempt status, according to the results of a bipartisan congressional investigation released Wednesday. The report by the Senate Finance Committee laid much of the blame on former IRS official Lois Lerner, who used to head the division that processes applications for tax-exempt status.

Iowa: Paul aides indicted Prosecutors have charged several top aides to Ron Paul’s 2012 presidential campaign, now working to help his son, Rand Paul, win the Republican nomination, with conspiring to buy the support of a state senator just before that year’s Iowa caucuses. Jesse Benton, John Tate and Dimitrios Kesari face charges of conspiracy, falsifying documents and several other related crimes in a federal indictment unsealed Wednesday.

Colo.: 2nd plague death The plague has killed a second person in Colorado this year. Pueblo County announced Wednesday that an adult there had died of the disease, which was likely spread by fleas from a dead animal. In June, a 16-year-old from Larimer County died of septicemic plague.

It’s not clear what type of plague the person in Pueblo County had.

AROUND THE WORLD Japan: A-bomb anniversary Japan is marking the 70th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima.

Mayor Kazumi Matsui renewed his call for President Barack Obama and other world leaders to step up efforts toward making a nuclear weapons-free world.

More than 40,000 people attended Thursday’s ceremony at Hiroshima’s peace park near the epicenter of the 1945 attack that killed 140,000 people.

Another bombing of Nagasaki three days later killed more than 70,000.

Afghanistan: Civilian toll Civilian casualties from the Afghanistan conflict remained at “record high levels” in the first half of the year, according to a report the United Nations released Wednesday. The report said 1,592 civilians were killed and 3,329 injured between January and June. The figures were slightly higher than in the first half of last year and higher than in any similar period since 2009, the report said.

Libya: 400 saved from sea Some 400 migrants have been rescued and 25 bodies recovered after a fishing boat carrying an estimated 600 capsized Wednesday in the Mediterranean Sea north of Libya, an Italian Coast Guard official said. The rescue operation was still ongoing, involving seven ships.

Netflix raises bar for paid leave

By Tom Murphy Associated Press

Netflix stirred envy in sleepdeprived parents nationwide by saying it will give its employees up to a year of paid leave following the birth or adoption of a child. But outside of hypercompetitive Silicon Valley, don’t hold your breath for your boss to match it.

However, more companies are thinking about offering at least some paid time off, which is mandated in almost all other countries but not in the U.S. “It’s not just a nice thing to do, it has a business payoff as well,” said Carol Sladek, a partner with the benefits consultant Aon Hewitt.

Most U.S. employers offer some sort of paid, short-term disability leave — usually six or eight weeks — for women who give birth. Additional paid benefits are sparse.

Only 21 percent of employers offer a paid maternity benefit beyond that disability leave, according to a

Microsoft ups parental benefits Microsoft says it will offer more paid leave to new parents and increase other benefits for U.S. employees, a day after Netflix announced generous new-parent benefits for its workers.

Microsoft Corp. said it will increase total paid leave for new mothers to 20 weeks, from a current 12 weeks paid and eight weeks of unpaid leave. New fathers will get 12 paid weeks, instead of four paid and eight unpaid. Microsoft also is increasing its contribution to employees’ 401k plans.

Netflix has about 2,000 workers, while about half of Microsoft’s 110,000 workers are based in the United States.

recent survey from the Society for Human Resource Management.

Only 17 percent provide any paid paternity leave for fathers. If a company provides paid leave, it’s usually about 12 weeks, or nothing close to what Netflix plans.

Netflix’s move, announced Tuesday, set a new standard even among Silicon Valley’s famously generous companies.

“This is an extremely generous benefit, and while it’s fantastic for the women who work there, I don’t know how feasible it is

going to be for the majority of industries to do something to this extent,” said Alina Salganicoff, vice president and director of women’s health policy for Kaiser Family Foundation, a nonprofit that researches health care issues.

Benefits experts say a combination of factors often prompt companies to offer a benefit that generous. First, the company has to be financially sound enough to afford it. It also has to have a workforce young enough to use it.

And it needs to see an advantage

in attracting and keeping talented workers.

That’s particularly the case in Silicon Valley, where technology companies attracts younger workers who aren’t afraid to leave an employer for better benefits elsewhere, noted Bruce Elliott, manager of compensation and benefits for the Society of Human Resources Management.

Google, for instance, offers 18 weeks of paid maternity leave.

Parents can also take seven to 12 weeks of paid “baby bonding” time during their child’s first year.

Federal law requires only unpaid leave for the birth or adoption of a child. Outside that, California, New Jersey and Rhode Island use a program funded by payroll taxes to provide some paid family and medical leave, according to the National Council of State Legislatures.

In contrast, many European countries mandate several months of paid maternity and paternity leave after a birth or adoption, Elliott said.

Yelp takes on medical businesses

U.S. workforce up by 185,000 WASHINGTON — The rate of hiring by U.S. businesses slowed in July, according to a private survey. But job gains remained at a solid level, which should help boost overall economic growth.

Payroll processor ADP said Thursday that companies added 185,000 jobs last month, down from 229,000 in June.

The government will issue its official jobs report for July Friday, which provides a fuller look at the economy than the ADP survey.

U.S. trade gap widens The U.S. trade deficit increased in June as solid consumer spending pulled in more imports, while the strong dollar restrained exports.

The Commerce Department said Wednesday the trade gap jumped 7 percent to $43.8 billion in June, up from $40.9 billion in May. Imports increased 1.2 percent to $232.4 billion, while exports edged lower to $188.6 billion from $188.7 billion.

CEO-vs-worker pay gap ordered revealed

The Washington Post

Yelp is adding a ton of health-care data to its review pages for medical businesses to give consumers more access to government information on hospitals, nursing homes and dialysis clinics.

Consumers can now look up a hospital emergency room’s average wait time, fines paid by a nursing home, or how often patients getting dialysis treatment are readmitted to a hospital because of treatment-related infections or other problems.

The review site is partnering with ProPublica, a nonprofit news organization based in New York. ProPublica compiled the information from its own research and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. The data is for 4,600 hospitals, 15,000 nursing homes, and 6,300 dialysis clinics in the United States, and it will be updated quarterly.

Much of the information about hospitals, for example, is available on Medicare’s Hospital Compare Web page.

But Yelp executives say the information is sometimes difficult to find and hard to sift through.

Does Yelp really think people scrolling through taco restaurant reviews are then going to check out hospitals and nursing homes?

“Many people think of the Yelp platform for finding great restaurants and hotels, and it certainly is,” said Luther Lowe, Yelp’s vice president for policy.

But businesses in the health category make up 6 percent of reviewed businesses, and executives hope that with additional data, those reviews will grow.

“We’re taking data that otherwise might live in some government pdf that’s hard to find and we’re putting it in a context where it makes sense for people who may be in the middle of making critical decisions,” Lowe said.

Losing your landline?

FCC expected to vote today on new phone rules

By Tali Arbel Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The copper network behind landline phones, a communications mainstay for more than a century, is going away, as cable and fiber-optics lines come along with faster Internet speeds.

But the alternatives have drawbacks, including an inability to withstand power outages. The federal government is considering rules Thursday to make sure Americans aren’t caught off guard in emergencies if they switch.

Many people already scoff at the idea of a landline. About 45 percent of U.S. households just use cellphones. But outside of cities, cell service can be poor.

Yet even among households with wired phone service, according to a government study last year, about half of them have already ditched copper-based landlines for an Internet-based phone service sold by phone and cable companies and typically packaged with TV and Internet services. That’s expected to continue.

Fiber and cable networks come with big benefits, such as faster Internet service and expected improvements in 911, including the ability to send texts and photos. Verizon also says fiber lasts longer than copper and doesn’t

need as much maintenance.

But a home phone that relies on the Internet will go out when the power does. With copper networks, the phone line delivers its own power source and will continue to work — as long as the phone isn’t a cordless one needing separate power.

In addition, many home burglar alarms and medical alert systems run on the copper network, so people need time to get replacements.

“One of the concerns we all have is people don’t understand the difference in these kinds of phone service. They see a phone is a phone is a phone,” said Mimi Pickering, a documentary filmmaker in rural Whitesburg,

The march away from copper appears inevitable.

“There will be so few people on the network that it won’t be economical to maintain it,” said Jon Banks, a senior vice president at United States Telecom Association, which represents Verizon, AT&T and other phone companies. “When copper wears out, nobody really wants to replace it with more copper.”

On Thursday, the Federal Communications Commission is expected to require that phone companies warn residential customers three months before they abandon a copper network. For businesses, six months’ notice would be required.

Phone and cable companies would also have to warn customers with newer technologies that the phone will go out with the power, so people have time to get replacement alarms and backup batteries if necessary.

Federal regulators have approved a long-delayed rule requiring companies to reveal the pay gap between CEOs and their employees. The Securities and Exchange Commission voted Wednesday to order most public companies to disclose the ratio between their chief executives’ annual compensation and median, or midpoint, employee pay.

Power plant pollution Heat-trapping pollution from U.S. power plants hit a 27-year low in April, the Department of Energy said Wednesday. A big factor was the long-term shift from coal to cleaner and cheaper natural gas, said Energy Department economist Allen McFarland.

FCC: Consumer advocates concerned about remote areas From Page A5

vice president at the public-interest group Public Knowledge. “People’s lives depend on it.”

He estimates that about 80 million people as well as several million small businesses still have traditional copper-based phone service.

Some customers, consumer advocates and the telephone-workers union accuse the phone companies of not repairing copper networks that they want to shut down.

The new rules would prohibit companies from retiring a copper network through neglect. If it wants to abandon copper, it would need to tell customers.

In FCC filings, Verizon says that retirement-byneglect is a myth, while CenturyLink says it spends billions of dollars to maintain its copper network and doesn’t see the need for this rule.

Consumer advocates have particular concerns about remote areas. They worry that copper will be

replaced there with wireless services that don’t do as much.

They point to what happened on the western part of New York’s Fire Island after Superstorm Sandy destroyed a lot of the copper wiring there in 2012. Verizon wanted to replace it with a home phone service called Voice Link, which relies on the cellular network but is not a cellphone. But, unlike copper, Voice Link couldn’t be used for Internet service and didn’t work with faxes or credit-card machines

used by small businesses.

After complaints, Verizon said it would also build a fiber network.

But some people, even in big cities, just want to keep their copper phone line.

“I’m on the 40th floor of an elevator building,” said Lynn Caporale, 57, who lives in New York. In a power failure, “I would have no elevator, no lights, no running water,” she said.

And if Verizon took away her copper landline, “I would have no way of communicating with anybody.”

The FCC wants to

assuage her fears.

To keep phones running on newer networks and make sure people can call 911 in an emergency, the agency would also require that phone and cable companies sell customers backup batteries with eight hours of power, if they want it.

Verizon already sells one for $40. After three years, the battery would have to last 24 hours.

Under the FCC proposal, phone companies would be able to shut down their copper without FCC

approval if “no service is discontinued, reduced, or impaired.” Otherwise, they need permission. But the standards for what constitute worse service are still being worked out. The agency is asking for opinions on things like voice quality and support for home alarm and medical monitoring systems.

While the notifications requirements would take effect in a few months, if they get approved Thursday, the standards on service quality will take longer.

Netflix: Better benefits retain workers Iceland’s a tough doughnut market From Page A5

“Europe’s way ahead of us on this particular issue,” he said.

But Sladek, the AonHewitt partner, said more U.S. companies have been asking her about paid leave and whether their competitors are offering it, so there is interest.

“I would definitely say this is contagious,” she said. “Nobody wants to be the company left behind.”

Microsoft Corp. said Wednesday it will increase total paid leave for new mothers to 20 weeks, from a 12 weeks paid and eight weeks of unpaid leave.

New fathers will get 12 paid weeks, instead of four paid and eight unpaid.

Improving benefits is a relatively inexpensive way for employers to boost morale and retain workers, says Andrew Chamberlain, chief economist for Glassdoor.com, a website

that has compiled more than 6 million employee reviews of companies across all industries.

“We are going to see other employers follow suit,” Chamberlain says.

“It’s like a gift from the employer that can help build engagement and help employees feel better about where they are working.”

The standard set by Netflix sounds “incredible” to Danny Carroll, an

Indianapolis pastor who took little time off when his Ethan, 4, was born.

Carroll’s wife received only unpaid leave from her job as a teacher. They had to time Ethan’s birth to happen in the spring so she could have the summer off on top of that leave.

They also had to skimp on groceries and cut back on going out in order to set aside money for the leave.

“It was a huge hardship,” he said.

Yelp: Users will have access to news From Page A5

Scott Klein, ProPublica’s assistant managing editor, said millions of Yelp users will also have access to the news organization’s data. In return, the news organization will have bulk access to all of Yelp’s health-care reviews to use in research for news stories. ProPublica has not been given personal

information about Yelp’s users other than what is available on Yelp, he said.

Consumers have always been able to review medical businesses using Yelp’s star-rating system. Those ratings will continue to be based on consumer reviews. What’s different now is the additional data.

Yelp said it relied on ProPublica’s expertise in choosing which metrics

to show on Yelp and how best to explain the information to consumers.

The hospital data shows the ER wait time, the quality of doctor communications with patients and the level of noise in patient rooms, all of which is based on patient satisfaction surveys conducted for Medicare.

Nursing-home data includes fines paid for

deficiencies and any payment suspensions because of poor performance.

Data for dialysis clinics includes information about how often kidney patients were readmitted to the hospital and the clinic’s death rate.

People viewing the data can hover their cursors over the information icon on the page to pull up additional explanations.

Bloomberg News REYKJAVIK — “Donuts!

Is there anything they can’t do?” well-known pastry lover Homer Simpson once asked.

In Iceland, which has languished under capital controls for seven years, they’ve just become the latest sign the north Atlantic Island is shedding the vestiges of its 2008 economic and financial collapse.

A Dunkin’ Donuts franchisee opened its first store in Reykjavik on Wednesday, drawing crowds eager for a taste of the U.S. chain’s baked goods and coffee.

It was almost six years ago that McDonalds closed its restaurants as the nation descended into economic chaos.

“I love the variety they offer,” said Steinar Gunnarsson, a student, who visited the restaurant soon after it opened. “They offer more than just a couple of brands of donuts

usually found in Icelandic bakeries.”

Drangasker, the franchise holder, has the right to open as many as 16 restaurants in Iceland over the next five years, according to Chief Executive Officer Arni Petur Jonsson.

“Over the next five years I’m sure we’ll fully utilize that option,” said Jonsson, also the CEO of a chain of Icelandic convenience stores called 10-11.

“The fact that we had more than 200 people lining up outside before the store opened — and there’s still a line outside the restaurant — shows that there’s plenty of interest in Dunkin’ Donuts in Iceland,” Jonsson said.

The island in June unveiled plans to lift capital restrictions in place since 2008, saying creditors in its failed banks can either agree to pay the Treasury as much as $3.8 billion or face a one-time tax of about $5.1 billion.

An uphill tax battle for county have avoided that move so as to not burden their tenants with a tax rate higher than that of other businesses in the region. Before the tribes start collecting their tax, they want the state and county to lift theirs. Now, the Justice Department has asked to join in the lawsuit, arguing that the tribes have the right as a sovereign nation to that potential revenue without “unlawful interference from state and local taxation.”

The Tulalip Tribes can make the case that the state and county are collecting that sales tax revenue without having to provide any services. The tribes built the development, down to the roads and utilities, with tens of millions of dollars of their own money.

As well, the confederation provides the public services for the development, including

police and fire protection and road maintenance. Each year, the county receives about $9 million of about $40 million in tax revenue collected, with the rest going to the state. No portion has gone to the tribes, the tribes’ lawsuit claims.

The county may have an even weaker claim to that revenue than the state if you compare the Tulalip reservation to an incorporated city, which collects its own sales tax revenue rather than the county.

No doubt, the loss of $9 million each year would be devastating to the county.

It wouldn’t be welcomed by the state, either, and the state would be hurt even more if the reach of the lawsuit is extended to similar situations with other tribes throughout Washington.

For the county, the lost revenue represents about

4 percent of its budget and could force the layoffs of as many as 90 county employees.

The situation didn’t catch the county by surprise. The tribes have made this point since 2001 when Quil Ceda’s first store, the Wal-Mart, opened. Likewise, the county and other taxing districts lost out after a 2013 ruling in a similar tax revenue lawsuit in Thurston County found that counties couldn’t collect property taxes on developments on federal lands held in trust for tribes.

At the time the lawsuit was filed in June, the parties were continuing negotiations to broker a settlement. We hope an agreement can be reached.

But it’s hard to argue against the tribes having a right to the revenue generated by its own development, to use as it sees fit for its community.

Anti-labeling bill upends rights I was outraged and angry to read that the House has passed a bill, 275-150, that will make it a law that states cannot pass their own laws mandating genetically modified organisms (GMOs) be listed on food labels. First, the GOP and some Democrats repeatedly said it is their special job to get government out of the lives of Americans.

States should be the arbiters of which laws it can make and pass … oh … only the laws they find onerous: rights of women to get a safe medical abortion, right to marry whomever you choose, right to not be fired because of your sexual preference, etc.

But now they are trying to

take away my right to know what is in the food I eat or serve to my family. Whether or not it is considered safe to eat by Big Business is not the question. If all of Europe and Scandinavia can put it on labels why can’t we? Big Business says we would be “confused” like we are all a bunch of ignorant consumers.

The article also states that it is unclear whether the president will sign the bill. If you don’t want your rights to be taken away please call the comment line to the president: 202-4562111 and tell him you want the right for your state to decide what should be on food labels and ask him to please not sign the bill.

GUEST COMMENTARY | Addressing homelessness

Fighting homelessness to end panhandling

By Donna Olson

R

ecently the City of Monroe reviewed its city ordinances with respect to complaints about panhandlers. Panhandlers are generally homeless and homelessness cannot be eliminated by an ordinance.

Every citizen wants to feel safe in their community. The majority of communities in Snohomish County have some homeless neighbors. In Monroe, we have few resources to help the homeless become housed. To eliminate panhandling requires much more than an ordinance and police intervention.

Thankfully, safety is a primary value in Monroe. We are grateful for the work of the city council and the police department to ensure we live in a safe community. As humans, we feel fearful when we find

ourselves in unfamiliar circumstances. An aggressive panhandler will evoke a fear response in most anyone, and we are grateful for the police department’s suggestion to call 911 for any of us found in that situation.

Homelessness is a tiny step away for our neighbors living in poverty. No one wants to be homeless or live in poverty.

However, life does not deal the same hand to all of our neighbors. A single mom with two kids working full time at minimum wage makes far below the poverty line. A vehicle breakdown or an illness can catapult a low-wageearning individual or family into homelessness. Abused youth find it safer to live on the streets or in the woods than to live with their family.

Disability checks provide a fraction of rent amounts, and the mentally ill find it difficult

to find and keep housing. In each example, resources and mentoring are needed to help neighbors become housed.

Behind every panhandler is a complicated life that may include trauma, abuse, addiction, mental health issues, or lost low wages. The keys to eliminate panhandling are to bring additional low-income housing to east Snohomish County, as well as to add accessible drug, alcohol and mental health assessments in our area.

When a person suffering from an addiction or mental health issue has a moment of hopeful clarity and seeks help, often the moment is snuffed out by a complicated life that takes over if they have to wait many weeks for an appointment to begin to explore the process for help.

Even getting into Everett for assessments can be a tremendous hurdle for our homeless neighbors.

IN OUR VIEW | Quil Ceda Village

Snohomish County and the state of Washington were already facing a difficult legal battle against the Tulalip Tribes confederation. Now, the U.S. Justice Department is seeking to join the lawsuit and is strengthening the case for the tribes.

In June, the Tulalip Tribes filed suit to stop the county and the state from collecting sales and other taxes from non-Indian businesses at the tribes’ successful Quil Ceda Village. About $40 million annually is collected, mostly from sales tax from non-Indian customers at the development’s non-Indian businesses, such as Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Cabela’s, several restaurants and about 140 smaller stores in the Seattle Premium Outlet mall.

The tribes could levy their own tax on those sales but

Editorial Board

Being accosted by an aggressive panhandler is a stressful experience we all want to avoid. Moving that panhandler to another community isn’t a good solution for anyone. We want to live in safe communities. Ending homelessness will also stop panhandling. Most panhandlers would rather work than ask for money. But there can be hundreds of little steps of transition needed for a homeless panhandler to become a productive employed worker. Homelessness can be addressed by bringing additional resources, which will help with that transition, to east Snohomish County. We all want to live in communities where no one is homeless and there are no panhandlers.

2016 matters for one reason: climate change

T

he vast majority of scientists who have devoted their professional lives to studying the Earth’s climate believe human-induced warming is an urgent problem requiring bold action.

Republican candidates for president insist they know better.

With one possible exception — Sen. Lindsey Graham of EUGENE ROBINSON South Carolina — GOP contenders either doubt the scientific consensus on climate change or oppose attempts to do anything about it. This promises to be one of the starkest ideological divides facing voters next year.

No pressure; it’s only the fate of the planet hanging in the balance.

Before President Obama could even announce his administration’s tough new curbs on carbon emissions from power plants, Republican hopefuls launched preemptive attacks. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, who flat-out denies that climate change is taking place, accused scientists of “cooking the books” and Democrats of choosing “California environmentalist billionaires and their campaign donations” over “the jobs of union members.” Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida charged that the new rules “will make the cost of electricity high for millions of Americans.” Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush called the regulations “unconstitutional” and claimed they would cost jobs.

These comments came at Sunday’s Freedom Partners forum, organized by conservative billionaires Charles and David Koch to give GOP candidates a chance to strut their stuff. In that setting, I suppose, reality-based rhetoric would be too much to hope for.

For the record, let’s take a moment to deal with the above-quoted blather, which is typical of the lines of “argument” from the multitudinous GOP field.

To claim there is no atmospheric warming, Cruz cherry-picks one set of satellite measurement data — paying no attention to other data sets, which show continued warming — and chooses 1998 as a starting point. But that year was an obvious outlier; temperatures took a huge and anomalous leap, likely because of an unusually strong El Nino phenomenon in the Pacific Ocean.

Cruz and other climate-change deniers ignore the fact that nine of the 10 hottest years on record have occurred since the turn of the century — the one exception being 1998. The deniers also pretend to be unaware that the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased by a stunning 40 percent since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, when humans began burning fossil fuels in large quantities. Unless Cruz has rewritten the fundamental rules of physics, such an increase has to cause warming.

Rubio claims the new carbon rules will be too expensive for consumers, but he seems not to know that utility companies are already moving away from coal, which releases more carbon dioxide than other fuels such as natural gas. The Obama administration has estimated that electricity prices might rise 4.9 percent by 2020 — a small price to pay given the stakes.

As for Bush’s claim that the regulations are unconstitutional, the Supreme Court ruled last year that the Environmental Protection Agency has the authority under the Clean Air Act to regulate carbon emissions by power plants, factories and other polluting facilities. The 7-2 decision was written

by Justice Antonin Scalia. Enough said.

The rest of the GOP field ranges from hopeless to hapless on the issue. Frontrunner Donald Trump firmly belongs in the former camp. He has called global warming a “hoax” and once said the whole idea “was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing noncompetitive.” Trump has also cited cold winter weather in the United States as “evidence.”

Of the other candidates, Ohio Gov. John Kasich, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, former New York Gov. George Pataki and businesswoman Carly Fiorina have all at times acknowledged the scientific consensus on climate change but hemmed and hawed about what, if any, action to take.

Rick Santorum joins Trump and Cruz in full denial. The rest — Scott Walker, Mike Huckabee, Rick Perry, Rand Paul, Bobby Jindal, Ben Carson and Jim Gilmore — either aren’t sure warming is taking place or don’t know if humans are causing it.

Democrats Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders both promise even tougher action against climate change than Obama has taken. This is a very big reason why elections matter.

Margarete was born in Liepaja, Latvija on May 22, 1919, to Gustav Heinrich and Emma Mikolaitis. She married Teodors Valdmanis in 1943. They spent several years in Displaced Persons camps throughout Germany and had three children. In 1951 the family immigrated to the United States.

Another daughter was born in Mar ysville, Wash. in 1953. She retired as a Cost Account from Fluke Manufacturing Co. She loved to travel and organized trips for seniors from her church. For many years her senior group met for breakfast on Tuesday mornings at the Village Café.

A few years ago she gave a t a l k to h e r c h u rc h g ro u p about her life during World War II in Europe. A friend recorded the presentation and copied it to compact discs. Mom was delighted to h a n d t h e m o u t . S h e wa s ver y active in the First Baptist Church of Marysville and served as a Deacon.

God played a large role in her li fe and she was not afraid to die. She was ready to be with her Lord whenever it was her time and she is resting now in His presence.

We are sure she will be very entertaining.

One of the highlights of Mom’s year was attending the Latvian Center Christmas Bazaar. She loved the food, socializing with old friends and watching the dancers in their traditional costumes.

Mom loved her family and friends; she could be counted on for support, no matter the situation.

Margarete is sur vived by her children: John Valdmanis (Glenda), Dagnija Johnson (Mar v), Vita Fox, Anita Burchett (Wayne); eight g r a n d c h i l d r e n a n d m a ny great and great great grandchildren; sister, Heddi Orumets and niece, Karin Carter.

Visitation will take place on August 8, 2015, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Schaefer-Shipman Funeral Home, 804 State Ave. Mar ysville. The memorial service will be held on August 11, 2015, at 1 p.m. at the First Baptist Church of Marysville, 4011 81st Pl NE. I n l i e u o f f l o w e r s , donations may be made to the American Diabetes Association or the American Heart Association.

Close call for E. Wash. town Evacuation order lifted after wildfire threatens Roosevelt Associated Press ROOSEVELT — The evacuation order for the town of Roosevelt was lifted Wednesday after a fast-growing wildfire bypassed the community, fire spokesman Ron Fryer said.

“People are back in their homes,” Fryer said of the approximately 300 residents of the Columbia River town.

Residents remain under notice to be able to leave quickly if conditions change, Fryer said.

None of the 350 homes that were threatened in the area have burned and there were no reported injuries, Fryer said.

The grass fire grew to 26 square miles by Wednesday afternoon, after being reported at 15 square miles earlier in the day, Fryer said.

State Route 14 through Roosevelt remained closed, he said.

State and local crews were fighting the blaze, located about a mile north of the Klickitat County town on the Oregon border.

Mandatory evacuation of the town was ordered Tuesday afternoon, shortly after the fire started. The cause is under investigation.

Roosevelt, which was on the route of the Lewis and Clark Expedition in the 19th century, is near the Oregon border, about 120 miles east of Portland.

Meanwhile, firefighters slowed the growth of the fire along parts

Associated Press

SEATTLE — The State Board of Education decided Wednesday to set a score below the collegeready level as the Washington state graduation standard on the new Common Core tests.

The people creating the tests, which are also known as the Smarter Balanced exams, say a score of 3 or 4 means students are “college and career ready.”

The State Board of Education decided Wednesday afternoon to set a score in the middle of the 2 range — just above 2.5 — as the graduation level for the Common Core math and English tests in Washington.

The new English exam is replacing the state’s old writing and reading exams as a graduation requirement. Passing the new math test won’t be a graduation requirement for a few more years, but it will be an approved

Wildfire consumes a juniper tree as firefighters let it march down to the Columbia River on the edge of Roosevelt on Wednesday. The wildfire burning near the Oregon border forced evacuation of Roosevelt on Tuesday. Residents returned Wednesday after the wildfire bypassed the area.

of Lake Chelan. A smoke inversion lifted on Tuesday, allowing helicopters to attack the flames with water-bucket drops, officials said.

Firefighters expect that fire, which covers about 40 square miles, to continue moving south along Lake Chelan toward Graham Harbor. They were keeping

a wary eye on gusty winds forecast for Wednesday.

Mandatory evacuations remain in effect for Holden Village, Lucerne, Domke Lake, Riddle and Lightning Creek.

But the Lake Chelan Chamber of Commerce issued a news release saying the tourist community was open for business

and urged people not to cancel their travel plans.

The fire started June 29 from lightning in remote timber and grass on the west side of the popular lake. It grew over the weekend amid hot, dry weather and downlake winds. The blaze has shut down a section of the Pacific Crest Trail and several campgrounds.

Our hope is that next year we will have better data so that we can relook at that (passing) cut score.

— Isabel Munoz-Colon, State Board of Education member

alternative for students who fail math end-of-course exams, which are required for graduation.

Board members had a long and complex debate before voting on the new graduation scores. Some of the discussion was around fairness. Other parts of the discussion were more technical, involving the difficulty of choosing the right scores and making sure everyone understood what the scores meant.

Staff members, with help from the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, attempted

to set the pass level at a place where about as many kids are expected to pass the exams as passed the state’s previous tests.

When the tests were given statewide for the first time this past spring, a large number of high school students skipped them. So state education officials had to use alternative methods for figuring out what score would mean students are proficient in the subject matter and deserve a diploma.

The data had other unknown problems, as well.

Ben Rarick, executive director

of the state board, went as far as calling the data bizarre, and his comments were echoed by several board members.

“Our hope is that next year we will have better data so that we can relook at that (passing) cut score,” board member Isabel Munoz-Colon said. She said the long-term goal of the board is to help students be ready to reach a level 3 on both the English and math exams.

The board is required by the Legislature to set the passing scores for state achievement tests. During the meeting and at a news conference afterward, board members and staff repeatedly referred to the new graduation scores as transitional.

“The bottom line is the board was trying to be fair. We’re transitioning between two systems,” Rarick said. “How can we hold students harmless to the changes the adults are contemplating? Everybody rallied around that point.”

Tsunami debris heading for Seattle, Oregon

By Elahe Izadi The Washington Post

Since the beginning of July, a 300-foot barge has snaked down North America’s West Coast, starting in Alaska and slowly making its way to Seattle.

Its cargo: trash. Lots of it.

The month-long barge operation is part of a massive project to clean remote and rugged shorelines of tons of marine debris, some of it from the 2011 Japanese tsunami. Helicopters are slinging giant sacks of debris out to the floating barge, which is expected to arrive in Seattle this week. Some of the material will be recycled there; the rest will be taken farther south to an Oregon landfill.

Local, state and international governments and nonprofits are involved in the effort. It is being funded in large part by the Japanese government, which is paying $6 million to United States and Canada for the cleanup.

Some of that debris has been massive: In 2012, a 200-ton

Lawsuit filed in jail death SPOKANE — The family of a man who choked on his own vomit while being booked into the Spokane County Jail has filed a wrongful death claim seeking at least $6.5 million. Lorenzo Hayes, 37, is one of four inmates who died at the jail in recent weeks, prompting calls for an outside investigation. The Spokane County medical examiner this month determined that Hayes’ death in May was a homicide and a team headed by the Washington State Patrol will decide if criminal charges will be filed. The Spokesman-Review reported Wednesday that Hayes’ family called his death “completely unnecessary.” The family is requesting damages between $6.5 million and $9.5 million.

Hayes was arrested on suspicion of violating a no-contact order and illegally possessing a firearm.

Seattle: Federal hate crime charge filed

Lower bar set for Common Core tests

By Donna Gordon Blankinship

NW BRIEFLY

CANDICE BRESSLER / ALASKA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION

Debris picked up off the coast in Kodiak, Alaska, is shown in this July 15 photo. A barge will be used to haul away tons of marine debris — some likely from the 2011 tsunami in Japan — from Alaska shores. The barge is scheduled to make additional stops as it heads to Seattle, where debris will be sorted for recycling. Remaining debris will be sent by train for disposal in Oregon.

dock landed on Agate Beach in Oregon, where it remained for months before workers broke it apart. Earlier this year, a boat with 20 fish usually found in Japanese waters showed up off the

central coast of Oregon.

Since the tsunami, volunteer pickups in Ucluelet, British Columbia, including those involving local and Japanese students, have yielded

pieces of Japanese houses, Styrofoam and other debris. There’s also a lot of the debris on the shore not from the tsunami, Robinson said Karla Robinson, Ucluelet’s environmental and emergency services manager.

“We’ll clean up a beach one year and go back and it’ll be full again,” she said. “There’s layers of this material. Once you get through one layer, there’s another layer interwoven into the vegetation.”

For places like Ucluelet, such cleanups can be a challenge.

“The coastline is very remote, rugged and hard to access,” Robinson said. And, she said, it’s even harder to get “this cumbersome material” onto boats.

The helicopter slings help.

Robinson said nonprofit groups, volunteers and others participated in a cleanup effort to get the sacks onto the shore, ready for pickup. She emphasized the collaborative nature of the barge project and the growing problem of marine debris. “It’s a drop in the bucket to how much material is out there,” she said.

A federal hate crime charge has been filed against a man accused of shouting anti-gay slurs as he threatened to stab a man in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood.

According to documents unsealed Wednesday, Troy Deacon Burns faces a single hate crime count, a charge that can carry up to 10 years in prison. He was arrested

by Seattle police early Jan. 25 after a group of three men reported that he had menaced and chased them with a knife. Prosecutors initially filed a sealed complaint against Burns on July 29. It was unsealed Wednesday, and a new charge was filed by information, which typically indicates that a plea deal has been reached. Burns was scheduled to appear in U.S. District Court on Wednesday afternoon.

Burns’ attorney did not immediately return a message seeking comment. Seattle U.S. Attorney Annette Hayes said the federal prosecution demonstrates her office’s commitment to protecting all Western Washington residents from bias-motivated attacks.

Tacoma: $1M bail for shooting incident A man is being held on $1 million bail after he pleaded not guilty to charges that he shot at Fife police during a chase last year. The News Tribune reported that Phillip Gleason, 37, faces charges that include first-degree assault and drive-by shooting.

Pierce County Superior Court Judge Thomas Felnagle set his bail Tuesday. Gleason was reportedly in a sport-utility vehicle that fled after an attempted robbery at a truck stop on Port of Tacoma Road. Officers fired at the vehicle after it dragged one of them a short distance, and someone inside it shot at an officer who gave chase. Prosecutors said they requested the high bail because Gleason is on parole for robbery in Idaho and was out on bail for other felonies.

His alleged accomplice, Yolanda Lund, pleaded guilty last month to related charges and, as part of her plea deal, identified Gleason as the shooter. Gleason was arrested in June by the Adams County Sheriff’s Department.

Oregon: Cattle No. 1 agricultural commodity For the first time in 20 years, cattle is Oregon’s No. 1 agricultural commodity, overtaking greenhouse and nursery products. The USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service said cattle and calf production saw a dramatic increase of nearly 38 percent from 2013 to 2014.

Last year, cattle’s production value was $922 million. Greenhouse and nursery production has held the number one spot since 1994. It’s now number two, at a value of $830 million. Oregon’s other top 10 commodities include hay, milk, grass seed, wheat, potatoes, hazelnuts, pears and wine grapes.

Don’t blink

Seahawks defensive end Cassius Marsh (left) rushes the quarterback as Bears offensive tackle Charles Leno tries to block during a preseason game this past year.

After his rookie season was cut short by a foot injury, Seahawks defensive end Cassius Marsh is healthy and faster than ever INSIDE

ENTON — Don’t blink.

Cassius Marsh just took a jab step to his right. Then, he took a bullish step to his left.

Ah, you missed it? So did Russell Okung.

Marsh rushed past his teammate and the Seattle Seahawks’ linchpin left tackle and into the backfield untouched so quickly all that remained was the blur of colorful ink from the thousands upon thousands of dollars in tattoos that cover the second-year defensive end’s arms, chest and back.

✓ Hawks change tune on Chancellor holdout, Thomas removed from PUP, C4 This happened two times to Okung on Wednesday. It’s happened time and again through five days of training camp. And it’s signaling Marsh is not merely back from his broken foot that ended his promising rookie season after just five games.

As coach Pete Carroll said: “He’s haulin’ tail around here.”

The high-revving pass rusher says he’s even faster than before the injury.

Faster than he’s ever been, in fact.

Marsh said his foot injury, the first broken bone in his 23 years of life, was a “four-to-six-to-eight-week thing.”

That meant he was recovered enough that while his teammates were marching to a second consecutive Super Bowl into February, Marsh basically lived anonymously inside the training room at Seahawks headquarters. He worked with trainers on explosiveness drills and leg weights.

Then in the offseason, the son of former Pittsburgh Steelers and Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Curtis Marsh went home to Southern See MARSH, Page C4

Rodney fails, M’s lose to Rockies Sounders, Whitecaps draw in CONCACAF matchup

The reliever blows a save in the 9th, Seattle’s win streak ends in 7-5 extra-innings loss.

Herald news services

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

DENVER — Welp...maybe Fernando Rodney isn’t quite fixed.

The Seattle Mariners saw the chance for a three-game sweep at Coors Field slip away Wednesday afternoon when Rodney blew a two-run lead in the ninth inning before they fell 7-5 to the Colorado Rockies in 11 innings.

The end came when Michael McKendry launched a two-run homer against Mayckol Guaipe on a hanging two-out slider that ended the 4-hour, 6-minute marathon.

But make no mistake: The Mariners spit back the chance to stoke some recent momentum by again placing their trust in Rodney with

VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Lamar Neagle scored for Seattle in the 72nd minute and the Sounders tied the Vancouver Whitecaps 1-1 in a CONCACAF Champions League game Wednesday night.

Tim Parker replied for the Whitecaps as both clubs opened Group F play.

Neagle scored off a free kick that looped over the penalty area to Andy Rose on the right. He sent a ball back into the box to Neagle and he fired a shot high over Paolo Tornaghi.

Parker gave the Whitecaps the lead 11 minutes earlier with a beautiful glancing backheel flick off Pedro Morales’ corner that beat goalie Troy Perkins to the far post.

Aside from a few chances from

Seattle in the early stages, there wasn’t much happening between the two teams in the first half.

Both sides struggled to generate any sort of sustained pressure.

The visiting Sounders came close to getting on the board in the 35th minute when Rose headed an Aaron Kovar cross just over the goal, but it was the only real opportunity from either team in the opening half.

The Whitecaps fielded an entirely different starting 11 from their 3-0 road victory over Seattle on Saturday in a Major League Soccer match, while the Sounders made eight changes, including resting both Clint Dempsey and Chad Marshall.

Canadian midfielder Russell Teibert and captain Pedro Morales both returned to the Whitecaps’ starting lineup for the first time since early June.

lthough the peak of the pink salmon season is still a week or two away, success rates were good enough over the weekend and early this week to prompt local anglers to get after ‘em, flat out. The humpies are here, in all the usual places, and it’s time to start nailing your share of the 6.8 million fish predicted by state Fish and Wildlife Department biologists to be heading toward Puget Sound rivers.

Creel sampling by WDFW personnel at the Ediz Hook ramp in Port Angeles on Sunday showed 98 fishermen with 166 pinks. At the Port of Everett ramp late last week, 300 anglers had 21 coho and 184 pinks, while some 58 “surf casters” at North Beach, Deception Pass State Park on Saturday, had 15 fish.

Mike Chamberlain at Ted’s Sports Center in Lynnwood said saltwater action was very good on Saturday and Sunday, at an average of better than 3 pinks per boat. The fish were scattered, Chamberlain said, showing at Meadowdale, Picnic Point, the shipwreck and “humpy hollow,” south of Mukilteo. Shore anglers at Point No Point and on the Whidbey Island beaches — Bush Point, BLUE JAYS FortTORONTO Casey — were also into pinks.

The standard trolling rig, according to Chamberlain, is a size “0” dodger or 8-inch flasher in white or white/pearl, followed by about 12 inches of heavy leader (dodger) or 16 inches (flasher) and a hot pink mini-squid on either one 3/0 hook or a double, 1/0 and 2/0.

The Snohomish River opened on MINNESOTA Saturday,TWINS and things there weren’t so rosy. “We had some problems on the river,” Chamberlain said. “A fair number of fishermen weren’t paying attention to the regulations which opened the river only up to Hwy 9 and were fishing in closed water.”

The section of the Snohomish ASTROS fromHOUSTON the Hwy 9 bridge up to the forks opens Aug. 16. Chamberlain said it will probably be a couple of weeks yet before there are enough

With early-season warm temperatures and a low snow pack, this is a particularly good summer to try your hand at Washington’s high-elevation trout fishery. The state Fish and Wildlife Department has a good package of high-lake fishing information on line, including where to go, when to go, how to effectively fish the high lakes, species available, and more. One of the popular sub-sections lists a number of lakes particularly suited to beginners in high country fishing, at www.wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/ highlakes, click on “Getting Started Lakes.

The WDFW says this list was selected for reasonable access and as a good starting point for how high-lake fishing works.

humpies in the river to offer decent fishing, amd added that at about 3 pounds each, the fish seem a little smaller than they were two years ago. Daily limit on the Snohomish is 3 salmon and 1 additional pink, release chinook and chum.

Pinks usually come in a little earlier to the Skagit, and this year seems to be no exception. Kevin John at Holiday Sports in Burlington said the Saturday opener was a very good one, with a lot of limits taken. The action slowed Sunday and Monday, but was still decent, John said, and most of the fish were coming from the section between Young’s Bar at downtown Mount Vernon, up to the Hwy 9 bridge.

Both boaters and bank fishermen did well. Plunkers were using a pink Spin N Glo and sand shrimp, while drift fishermen were scoring on pink marabou or rubber jigs in 3/8- or 1/4-ounce weights.

The Skagit opened upstream to Gilligan Creek, and on Aug. 16 will add the section up to Concrete.

Limit is 4 salmon, release chinook and chum, only 2 wild coho.

Buoy 10 The salmon opening on the lower end of the Columbia River over the weekend was a strong one, according to WDFW biologist Joe Hymer in Vancouver. When counting Washington and Oregon anglers, and both coho and chinook boated, in fact, the average of 0.71 fish per person was second only to 1991’s average of 1.22 fish per rod.

Creel samples showed 1 king for every 2 boats, and a little under 3 coho per boat.

Hymer said about 35,000

Three of the suggested beginners’ lakes include: Slide Lake in Skagit County, at 3,114 feet elevation, 27 acres, containing brook and tiger trout. It lies 8 miles southeast of Marblemount in the Illabot Creek drainage. Short hike.

Janus Lake in Snohomish County, 6 miles northeast of Stevens Pass, 29 acres at 4,210 feet, 3.7-mile hike, off the Pacific Crest Trail, containing cutthroat.

Upper (Big) Greider Lake, 58 acres at 2,930 feet, just south of Spada Reservoir. Short hike up Greider Creek. Contains planted golden trout.

Iif you’ve never been in the high country, you’re gonna like it, fish or no fish.

of 40-pound leader or longer, and a 2/0 hook with glow beads and a pink mini-squid.

A recent trap count at Baker Dam showed a total of 26,764 fish trapped to date and 19,209 transferred to the lake.

That’s roughly double the 2013 and 2014 numbers.

Lake Wenatchee sockeye

chinook anad 46,000 coho are expected to be caught at buoy 10 this year, and you can follow the daily, and past year’s, Washington sport sampling summaries at http://wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/creel/ buoy10/.

Up above Bonneville Dam, meanwhile, anglers at Drano Lake (mouth of the White Salmon River) continued to enjoy hot fishing for summer steelhead, averaging 1.3 fish per rod over the weekend.

Some 51 boat trailers were counted there on Saturday.

There’s good fishing and a lot of sockeye available for the taking, over the hump in Lake Wenatchee. State biologist Travis Maitland in Leavenworth said low, warm water conditions in the Wenatchee River apparently haven’t hampered the sockeye run appreciably, and the count at Tumwater Dam has reached 40,000 fish. That figures out to an available harvest of about 17,000 and counting.

It also means a season which will probably last through August, Maitland said, or while the fish remain in decent shape.

The season opener, July 30, was very productive, he said, with 88 boats counted, mostly limits taken, and about a 3.5-fish per rod average. Fishing remained hot over the weekend, at about 3 fish per rod and 120 to 130 boats on the water.

Wind has been a problem off and on, and the fish have moved deeper — down to 70 or 80 feet Maitland said, but they’re still in good shape. Popular gear is a 2- or 3-hook tie and a hoochie with a smile blade behind a 1/0 or 2/0 dodger. Often, he said, anglers will go with just bare red or green hooks behind the dodger.

Methow restrictions

— Wayne Kruse

The annual Edmonds Coho Derby will be held Sept. 12 out of the Port of Edmonds and Bayside Marine, adjacent to the Port of Everett ramp, with cash prizes of $5,000, $2,500 and $1,000 for first through third, respectively. Tickets are available at most area tackle shope and marinas, or online at Edmondscohoderby.com. Separate kids’ division. All entries qualify for the Salmon Derby Series drawing of a 20foot, fully equipped fishing machine.

For information go to the web site or call derby chairman Ed Chapman at 206-372-1196.

Baker Lake sockeye Kevin John says warmer temperatures, bright days and heavy fishing pressure are pushing Baker Lake sockeye to deeper water, and fishermen are countering by fishing the early morning bite, using larger lures and longer leaders (24 inches instead of 12 or 13 inches), and exploring different depths down to 100 feet or so.

“You go down that far, ‘though, and you’re into the timber that wasn’t cut when the lake was formed,” John said.

Most anglers are sticking to depths of 50 to 70 feet and riding out a bite which is off and on, and fishing in general has been pretty good.

The standard rig is a size “0” big ring dodger, chrome or 50-50, or glow (early in the morning), 12 to 14 inches

The WDFW on Tuesday put the Methow on “hoot-owl” fishing hours, midnight to 2 p.m., because of drought conditions. Afternoon water temperatures in the river are approaching the upper limit for trout survival, and the stress of hooking and handling could increase mortality, according to WDFW biologists.

More drought closures The same situation as that on the Methow has forced closure, as of Aug. 1, of the Sol Duc, Bogachiel, calawah, and Dickey rivers on the Olympic Peninsula, and all their tributaries. The move is intended to help protech wild chinook and coho.

Coastal crab closures Elevated levels of marine toxins in crab tested north to the Queets River has prompted state shellfish managers to add the coastal stretch from Point Chehalis/Queets to the already-closed section south to the Columbia. The closure to commerecial and recreational crabbing on the coast now encompasses more than half of the entire coastline, and includes Willapa Bay, Grays Harbor, and the mouth of the Columbia.

Seattle trio thriving in adjusted lineup

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

DENVER — It’s been 17 games now since Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon “threw something against the wall one day and said, ‘Let’s put Robby fourth’” prior to a game in Detroit.

Perhaps it’s a coincidence, but the Mariners’ Big Three are thriving in the readjusted lineup.

Kyle Seager, Nelson Cruz and Robinson Cano are batting a combined .338 with 42 runs, 14 doubles, 15 homers and 36 RBI in that span.

“I’ve always wanted to put Seager in the two hole,” McClendon said. “The secret to that is making

Mariners From Page C1

To be fair, Rodney did have a string of five consecutive hitless outings, covering 51⁄3 innings, when he replaced Joe Beimel with a 5-3 lead, one out and nobody on base.

Problems started immediately, though.

Rodney walked D.J. LeMahieu, who scored on Ben Paulsen’s line-drive RBI double into the leftcenter gap. Kyle Parker followed with a game-tying RBI single to right. =.

Rodney said the pitches to Paulsen and Parker weren’t mistakes.

“I can’t throw a pitch better than that (to Paulsen),” Rodney said. “It was a good pitch. Down. He just...

(Rodney pantomimed a lunging swing). In this park, everything in the air (is trouble).

“Most of the time in that situation, I try to get a ground ball to

Current plans call for Nuno to start again Monday when Seattle opens a three-game series against Baltimore.

sure you have someone who can get on base in the leadoff spot because he’s a fastball hitter.”

McClendon believes he’s found that leadoff hitter in rookie Ketel Marte, whom the Mariners recalled July 31 from Triple-A Tacoma. Marte batted leadoff Wednesday for the fifth time in six games.

“I don’t think (Marte will be overmatched) because he has the ability to bunt,” McClendon said.

“His speed will play and get him hits when he’s not swinging very well. I want to see what he can do in the leadoff spot.”

The switch moved Seager from fifth to second in the order, which prompted McClendon to flip Cruz

Lefty Vidal Nuno will get at least one more spot start, but McClendon still views him as a better fit in the bullpen.

“I don’t see him in the rotation permanently as we speak right now,” McClendon said. “I just don’t see it.”

Nuno gave up three runs and five hits in 32⁄3 innings Tuesday in a 10-4 victory over the Rockies. It was his first

It only seems that Franklin Gutierrez always comes through as a pinchhitter. Actually, his two-run single in Tuesday’s 10-4 victory over Colorado was just his second hit in seven pinchhit at-bats.

But Gutierrez’s single broke a 3-3 tie, and his other pinch hit was a grand slam on July 21 that erased a two-run deficit in an 11-9 victory at Detroit. No other player with 10 or fewer pinch atbats has more than four RBIs. “I’m just trying to have a good approach at the plate,” he said. “And trying to make contact. That’s it.”

get a double play and get out of the inning. I think I made a good pitch.

You can see that ball was down.”

And the pitch to Parker?

“It was a good pitch, too,” Rodney insisted.

After a two-out walk moved the winning run into scoring position, McClendon summoned Rob Rasmussen, who stranded two runners and got the game to extra innings.

The Mariners missed a chance to regain the lead in the 10th inning after Logan Morrison worked back from an 0-2 hole against Christian Friedrich for a walk. Mike Zunino followed with a four-pitch walk.

The runners moved to second and third on Seth Smith’s sacrifice bunt.

Rafael Betancourt replaced Friedrich, and the Rockies shortened their infield. Ketel Marte struck out looking, and opportunity slipped away when Kyle Seager popped to left.

Paulsen started the winning rally with a one-out single to

center. Guaipe (0-3) struck out Parker before McKendry drove a 2-2 curve over the left-field wall.

“I was trying to throw the ball down in the zone,” Guaipe said. “A slider. It was right in the middle (of the plate). As soon as I threw the pitch, I knew I made a mistake.”

Yohan Flande (2-1) got the victory. He was the Rockies’ eighth pitcher.

Until Rodney’s meltdown, the Mariners were positioned for a victory after Franklin Gutierrez’s two-run homer broke a 3-3 tie in the seventh inning. He jumped on a 95-mph fastball from John Axford.

Taijuan Walker was also in line for a victory after following up his brilliant one-hitter against Minnesota by pitching into the eighth inning. He gave up three runs, all on a Carlos Gonzalez homer, in the sixth.

“It was down,” Walker said. “It was down around his ankles. He’s a lefty, they like getting the ball down, and he put a good swing on it.”

Carson Smith replaced Walker after Jose Reyes beat out a one-out infield single in the eighth. Smith ended the inning by getting Nolan Arenado, who leads the majors in RBI, to ground into a double play.

“I had a plan for Carson,” McClendon said. “It was one hitter.

He really wasn’t available today, but I thought if I could get one out from him in a big situation, I’d use him.”

That’s why Beimel started the ninth and, in a left-on-left matchup, retired Gonzalez on a swinging strikeout. That got the game to Rodney and well, you know.

The loss prevented the Mariners from extending their winning streak to four games and forced them to settle for a 4-3 road trip that began with a four-game split at Minnesota.

“It was one of those that just kind of sucked, you know?” Walker said.

“It would have been huge to get the win today and get the sweep. But it happens.”

Too often.

and Cano in the three/four slots in order to put Cruz’s right-handed bat between the two lefties.

“I think we have a two, three and four who are locked in for the foreseeable future,” McClendon said. “I don’t see it changing…We just need to get this leadoff thing straightened out, and we may be doing even better than we are.”

LEAGUE | Notebook

Cardinals WR Floyd injures hand, may miss 4 weeks

From Page C1

California and worked out each morning to mid-afternoon at Sports Training and Rehabilitation Services (STARS SoCal) in Anaheim.

That’s a workout center founded by former Washington State and Indianapolis Colts Super Bowl defensive back Jason David.

At STARS Marsh did box jumps a few feet off the ground for leg strength and explosiveness. He did “ladder” drills to improve foot speed.

He attacked leg weights.

“It was everything, man,” Marsh said. “I went there every day. It was kind of like a 9-to-3 job for me.

“It’s paying off for me.”

Asked if he feels faster than he did before becoming Seattle’s fourth-round draft choice out of UCLA last year, or faster than after all those specialized, pre-draft workouts but before he broke the fifth metatarsal, the long bone on the outside of his foot, with a freak, wrong step in a practice last October, Marsh almost scoffed.

“Oh, definitely,” he said.

“Just the hard work I’ve put in this last offseason has made me a better player. And I hope to build on that.”

A faster, healthier Marsh would add something of a forgotten wild card to Seattle’s pass rush that is featuring versatility and speed this summer.

Michael Bennett and Cliff Avril are entrenched as the starting ends, and the Seahawks spent their first draft choice in May on Michigan rush end Frank Clark.

Bennett excels inside over slower guards and centers on passing downs. Coaches are grooming Clark for the same role; the rookie has looked better utilizing his speed rushing from the inside than outside so far in camp.

That leaves a potential role for Marsh on obvious passing downs as Seattle’s “Leo,” the rush end off the offense’s weakside.

It all seems full of potential.

But coach Pete Carroll wants to see what happens in full pads against opponents, starting in the first exhibition game Aug. 14 against Denver. “(We) like our guys that stay around and work with our people,” Carroll said, adding that because of that Marsh is “more physical. ... Really his offseason started early last year, so he’s well ahead. He’s been very active in practice.

We’re anxious to see what he does in games.”

Eventually, Carroll sees the 254-pound Marsh as an outside linebacker. But that will be later. For now, he just wants him to line up over and speed past flat-footed tackles, even those who didn’t break a foot last season.

“He was active in the preseason last year for a little bit when he had his chance, so we’re hoping he can take it a notch higher,” Carroll said. “He’s the kind of guy that works so hard that if you give him enough plays he’s going to make things happen. He’s that instinctive and he can take advantage of the mistakes that the offense makes, so I’m really curious to see how he’s going to fit in.”

Speaking of curious...about all those tattoos: Marsh looks like a walking graffiti wall. He has two full sleeves and a full chest done. He got his first one “the day he turned 18,” he said. Mom Holly Ann LeBlanc refused to let her son have body ink as long as he lived under her roof.

He’s got “Commitment” in cursive, blue ink at the inside bottom of his right hand. He’s got “Love” and “Loyalty” in script. There are some paw prints inked inside his right arm. Those honor his 4-yearold pit bull “Boss,” whom Marsh humorously calls “the sweetest little puppy in the world.”

Marsh’s dad is bringing “Boss” north to be around for that first exhibition game against Denver.

If “Boss” wants to see his newly suped-up owner, he’d better not blink.

ELAINE THOMPSON / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Seahawks free safety Earl Thomas walks off the field after training-camp practice on Monday in Renton.

Thomas set to return The Seahawks safety is removed from the PUP list, and the team changes its tone regarding Chancellor’s holdout.

By Gregg Bell The News Tribune

RENTON — On the day Earl Thomas took his biggest step yet in returning from shoulder surgery to be ready for the opening game, the Seattle Seahawks took a new, stern tone in the ongoing holdout of fellow safety Kam Chancellor.

Thomas passed a physical examination, then the team activated him from its physically-unable-to-perform list on Wednesday. That makes him eligible to practice for the first time since surgery on Feb. 24 to fix a separated shoulder and torn labrum. Five weeks still remain until the opener at St. Louis.

That’s a game many have feared the All-Pro free safety would miss — even though he’s never missed a game in his five NFL seasons.

Journeyman Steven Terrell has been in his spot so far in camp.

Hours before the announcement on Thomas’ progress, coach Pete Carroll gave the first indication he and the team’s front office are now impatient and perhaps perturbed at Chancellor’s absence six days into training camp.

Asked following practice if the thumping strong safety’s holdout is now an issue of concern, the coach didn’t extend his verbal bouquet of how much the team needs and is missing its leader on defense, as he and players had at the beginning of this week.

“It’s an issue of concern. It’s an issue of concern, particularly for Kam,” Carroll said with no expression. “Here, we have to keep movin’, you know. And he knows. That’s what we are called to do, so we are going to do that.

“It’s a very difficult time for him, I think.”

When asked if he has any reason to believe Chancellor may report soon, Carroll said: “There’s been no exchange to tell that.

I’d love to talk to him. I haven’t talked to him in a couple days.”

Chancellor wants more than the $4.45 million guaranteed in base pay he is due this season on his contract that runs through the 2017 season.

Per the NFL’s collective bargaining agreement, a team can fine a player a maximum of $30,000 for each day of training

camp he misses. So Chancellor’s tab could now be $180,000 — though last year the Seahawks waived those fines as part of getting Marshawn Lynch to end his holdout after Kam eight days.

Chancellor The Seahawks can also now begin, if they choose, to recover a portion of a Chancellor’s $5 million signing bonus he got in his $28 million contract extension two years ago. Seattle could take back 15 percent of Chancellor’s $1 million proration for 2015 beginning Wednesday, the sixth day of camp.

The Seahawks can recover 1 percent for each additional day Chancellor skips beyond Wednesday, with a maximum of 25 percent of the prorated amount during training camp.

That’s $250,000. The team can take back an additional 25 percent with the first missed regular-season game, if his holdout goes that long. And so on, up to a maximum fine of all his $1 million proration.

So the Seahawks could increase his fine from $180,000 to $300,000 starting Wednesday.

Maybe it’s more than a coincidence Carroll’s tone changed that afternoon.

Wednesday morning, general manager John Schneider was on Sirius/XM satellite radio. He began with the previously standard, verbal love note when talking about Chancellor’s situation: “Shoot, we all love Kam. He is a phenomenal football player.

Obviously a key for us and what are doing here defensively. I mean, the guy’s a monster over the middle and, you know, one of the strongest leaders that we have. And we all miss him. I think it’s just a bummer for everybody involved in the situation.”

But then Schneider referenced his oft-stated team policy of not renegotiating deals that have more than one year remaining.

Yet the GM did move future money into up-front guarantees totaling $1.5 million last year at this time to get Lynch into camp late.

That may be the crack in Schneider’s door Chancellor is

trying to go through here.

“You know, we’ve had a plan in place here for several years,” Schneider told Sirius/XM. “Kam is one of the first players that we drafted (in 2010) that we were able to reward with one year left on his (rookie) contract. And, you know, it’s personal because you have so much emotional and personal feelings for the player, and at the end of the day you have to stick to your plan and your principles and that’s what has to guide you rather than, ‘We just love this guy and we have to ...’ It’s about the team, and it’s the ultimate team sport.

And in order for us to be a consistent championship-caliber team that we’ve been preaching over the last, you know, ever since we got here we have to continue to conduct business the way we always have.”

About how things are going between Chancellor and his agent and Schneider, the GM told Sirius/XM: “There’s no animosity here. ... We’ve had good communication.”

Asked if he expected Chancellor to report to camp at this point, Schneider said: “I don’t know.”

Extra points Rookie, converted college DT Kristjan Sokoli was the first-string LG and 2014 practice-squad G Drew Nowak was the center for the second consecutive practice. Offensive-line coach Tom Cable said he wants to give Sokoli a break from trying to become a center, so he can focus on the nuances of blocking without snapping. Cable seems to be trying to see what he may have from Nowak.

Alvin Bailey, down 25 pounds this summer to 350, and Lemuel Jeanpierre still seem on the inside tracks to replace departed free agent James Carpenter at left guard and traded Max Unger at center, respectively. ... Bailey stopped the seemingly immovable new DT Ahtyba Rubin on an attempted bull rush in one drill. ... LB Bruce Irvin sat out practice for what Carroll said was a day to rest his legs, nothing serious. ... Third and goal. WR Ricardo Lockette in the slot. Russell Wilson’s pass hit him in the numbers for a touchdown, six months, four days and immeasurable degrees of importance removed from the final play of Super Bowl 49. ... Dion Bailey’s first practice since coming off the non-football injury list from a hamstring injury included him breaking up a long, end-zone pass away from WR Douglas McNeil, who has had an impressive week. ...

The team signed LB Dakorey Johnson, a rookie free agent and teammate of Seahawks rookie WR Tyler Lockett at Kansas State. It released rookie free-agent LB Alex Singleton.

Medical timeout in Super Bowl might have taken Edelman off field Associated Press NEW YORK — Under the NFL’s new medical timeout rule, Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman might not have been on the field with New England trying to score the go-ahead touchdown in the Super Bowl.

Edelman appeared dazed after a fourth-quarter hit by Seahawks safety Kam Chancellor. The trainer stationed in the press box to watch for potential head injuries noticed and let the staff on the sideline know. But with the Patriots in an up-tempo

offense, Edelman remained in the game through the end of the drive.

Only then was he tested for a concussion, and the results were negative — but that doesn’t necessarily mean he wasn’t concussed.

Dr. Richard Ellenbogen, cochair of the NFL’s Head, Neck and Spine Committee, noted Wednesday that in 90 percent of concussions, the symptoms can clear within minutes.

“It is very possible for a person to play, come out and then test normal,” he said. “We’re trying

to get ahead of that.”

Under the new rule, the trainer in the press box can immediately notify the referee to call a medical timeout. The game and play clock stop until the player can leave the field, and his team isn’t charged for a timeout. The player must then sit out at least one snap.

“The issue is at the time of the injury,” said Ellenbogen, the department chair for neurological surgery at the University of Washington. “That’s a place where we think we have an opportunity to do better.”

GLENDALE, Ariz. — Arizona Cardinals starting wide receiver Michael Floyd left practice Wednesday with an injured left hand.

NFL.com reported Floyd dislocated three fingers on his left hand, according to a source close to the situation. Floyd is expected to miss four weeks and might not be ready for the team’s season opener against Michael the New Orleans Floyd Saints on Sept. 13.

The Cardinals didn’t reveal the severity of the injury that occurred near the goal line at University of Phoenix Stadium.

He was in obvious pain when he walked off the field with a trainer.

Entering his fourth NFL season, the 6-foot-2, 220-pound Floyd has been the main downfield threat for a talented group of Arizona receivers that includes Larry Fitzgerald and John Brown.

Floyd, a first-round draft — 12th overall — out of Notre Dame, caught 47 passes for 841 yards and six touchdowns last season, down from his breakout 2012 year, when he caught 65 passes for 1,041 yards and five scores.

Foster to have groin surgery HOUSTON — Houston Texans star running back Arian Foster has a groin injury, coach Bill O’Brien said after practice.

The second-year head coach said Foster is still being evaluated, but he would miss time, although how much was unspecified.

ESPN.com reported Foster will undergo groin surgery in Philadelphia on Friday.

ESPN.com reported Foster likely will miss the start of the regular season and could be placed on shortterm injured reserve, which would allow the Texans to bring him back to practices after Week 6 and into a game after Week 8.

Foster was second in the NFL in yards rushing per game (95.8) and sixth in total yards rushing (1,246) in 2014.

The Texans worked out free agent running backs Pierre Thomas, Ben Malena and Joe McKnight on Wednesday, but had not officially signed anyone. O’Brien said the Texans could sign someone as soon as Wednesday afternoon.

49ers release CB Cook SANTA CLARA, Calif. — The San Francisco 49ers have released cornerback Chris Cook, who underwent surgery in late October on a torn hamstring that prematurely ended his 2014 season and sent him to injured reserve.

The 49ers like their depth at cornerback with Tramaine Brock and Shareece Wright the expected starters. New addition Wright intercepted a pass by Colin Kaepernick in Tuesday’s first padded practice and ran it back approximately 30 yards for a pick-6.

Cook joined San Francisco in March 2014, then received another one-year deal this offseason. In six games last season, he had three tackles, one pass defensed and two tackles on special teams.

Lions, Levy agree to extension NOVI, Mich. — The Detroit Lions have agreed to a four-year contract extension with linebacker DeAndre Levy.

Team President Tom Lewand confirmed the agreement before Detroit’s practice. General manager Martin Mayhew had said the previous day that the Lions were negotiating with the 28-year-old Levy, whose contract was up at the end of this season.

Levy had a career-high 151 tackles (117 solo) last season and is entering his seventh season with Detroit.

Jaguars’ Lee injures hamstring JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Jacksonville Jaguars receiver Marqise Lee left practice early with a hamstring injury.

Lee, who is still recovering from a left knee injury, tweaked his right hamstring midway through practice and didn’t return.

Coach Gus Bradley says “we’ll just wait and see to what degree it is and where we go from there.”

Lee, a second-round draft pick from USC in 2014, missed all organized teams activities and a three-day minicamp because of the knee injury, so the last place he wanted to be during training camp was back on the sideline.

COMMENTARY | College football

Mora would like UCLA to fly under the radar

By Chris Dufresne LOS ANGELES — One look around the neighborhood, the Pac-12 Conference and the nation: Not everyone in college football is thrilled with the attention that comes with the start of the season.

“I would like no one to ever rank us,” UCLA coach Jim Mora said during Pac-12 football media days. “And I’d like no one to ever cover us, and I’d like to never be on TV and no one talk about us until the end of the year.”

If he means it, Mora could make most of that happen by opening with losses to Virginia and Nevada Las Vegas.

Mora spoke from Stage 12 at Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, where scenes from the movie “Casablanca” were filmed.

Appropriate because the coach has an important choice to make in whether to start freshman Josh Rosen at quarterback, and it’s a decision Mora could regret — maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon, and for the rest of his life.

As for Rosen, he will be the primary focus as UCLA opens camp in San Bernardino next week. So, “Here’s looking at you, kid.”

■■■ Identifying the right quarterback in August could be the playoff

difference-maker for several contending teams.

A few summers ago, a nobody named Jameis Winston beat out Jake Coker at Florida State and led the Seminoles to the national title.

Ten of the top 15 teams in the USA Today coaches’ preseason poll could start this season with a different quarterback then they had on opening day a year ago.

Schools with rock stars returning include No. 2 Texas Christian (Trevone Boykin), No. 6 Michigan State (Connor Cook), No. 7 Auburn (Jeremy Johnson), No. 10 USC (Cody Kessler) and No. 12 Clemson (Deshaun Watson).

Florida State swaps out Winston for transfer Everett Golson, a fifth-year senior who lost his job at Notre Dame to Malik Zaire. Point-a-minute Baylor plugs in Seth Russell for Bryce Petty.

Decisions to make: Ohio State (Cardale Jones or J.T. Barrett?) Alabama (Coker or David Cornwell?), Oregon (Vernon Adams or Jeff Lockie?), Georgia (Brice Ramsey or Faton Bauta?), Louisiana State (Anthony Jennings or Brandon Harris?), UCLA (Rosen or Jerry Neuheisel?) and Mississippi (Chad Kelly or Ryan Buchanan?).

■■■ Some Oregon fans took offense at a remark USC coach Steve Sarkisian recently made pertaining to recruiting.

“We’re not going to take the field in 13

different uniforms in 13 different games this fall,” Sarkisian said. “We’re going to wear cardinal and gold.”

Quack Attack quickly pounced on that one to note Sarkisian is 0-5 against Oregon, as if uniforms were the reason.

Mark your calendars: USC at Eugene on Nov. 21.

Oregon, we hear, is prepared to answer Sarkisian’s perceived insult by running into Autzen Stadium wearing a patch quilt of all 8,000 of its uniform combinations.

■■■ Speaking of excess, it’s not true that Ohio State will start 11 quarterbacks this year.

For now, it’s only two, with two-time Big Ten Conference player of the year Braxton Miller probably moving to receiver. That leaves last season’s third stringer, Jones, whose late-season heroics led Ohio State to the national title, to battle with secondstringer Barrett, who saved the Buckeyes’ bacon after Miller was lost to a seasonending injury.

■■■ There is some concern that Ohio State could lose at Virginia Tech following the recent suspensions of four players, including star defensive lineman Joey Bosa.

It’s understandable. I mean, when has Ohio State ever overcome an early loss to Virginia Tech to win a national title?

Oh, wait, it was ... last season.

■■■

The question is when, not if, first-year coach Jim Harbaugh burns out at Michigan. We’ve got him holding steady through the Sept. 3 opener at Utah. Actually, Harbaugh is the most exciting thing to hit the Big Ten since the forward pass was introduced, if memory serves, by Purdue’s Drew Brees in the 1990s.

Michigan fans should be thrilled about getting Harbaugh. He’s basically Urban Meyer — without the championships.

■■■ Lane Kiffin was a terrific hire as offensive coordinator at Alabama. The former USC reject injected the Crimson Tide with production and points.

If only Nick Saban could coach defense.

Alabama, if it intends to contend for the national title, probably needs to improve the unit that gave up 99 points in its last three games.

■■■ Nevada Las Vegas hired a local high school coach, Tony Sanchez, to take over a program that plays UCLA and Michigan before Sept. 20.

Wonder how that will work out.

■■■ It might be a down year for quarterbacks in the Mountain West Conference. Not only did USC transfer Max Wittek earn the starting job at Hawaii, he was instantly named to the preseason all-conference first team.

Just wait until he throws his first Mountain West pass.

Based upon the area in Zone 1 of 5,341.47 acres, the area in Zone 2 of 172.24 acres and the area in Zone 3 of 639.88 acres, the associated dollar value of benefits for a $1,000 hypothetical assessment is: Zone 1 = $0.0960089 per acre Zone 2 = $0.0480045 per acre Zone 3 = $0.00 per acre Zone 4 Assessment: No separate District assessment is made for acreage in Zone 4.

The share of the $1,000 hypothetical assessment which is covered by the District and City Agreement is calculated by the District at $259.70 (rounded).

Improvement (ERU) Assessment: The total assessment shall be $219.21 (rounded) of a $1,000 hypothetical budget.

Based on a total of 1,535.20 ERU, the associated dollar value of benefits is $0.1427865 per ERU. Improvements to property shall be determined from Snohomish County and District records.

Special assessments shall be due at the same time property taxes are due and shall constitute liens on the land or improvements upon which they are imposed. Delinquent special assessments shall be foreclosed in the same manner, and subject to the same time schedules, interest and penalties as delinquent property taxes. The County Treasurer may impose a fee for collection of special assessments not to exceed one percent of the dollar value of the special assessments collected.

Section 5. This ordinance shall have a prospective effect and shall supersede the District’s system of assessment last finalized by the adoption of Snohomish County Ordinance No. 11-046 on August 17, 2011.

At said time and place anyone interested may be heard either for or against the above-described matter.

Ferns add simple beauty to any space, sunny or shady

By Adrian Higgins The Washington Post

If you believe, as I do, that the most deeply satisfying gardens are ones not of flowers alone but of form and line, of texture and shades of green, then have I got a plant for you.

The fern is primal not only in its botanical lineage but also in the way it stirs a deep connection to something primordial; it wells deep within us.

And yet it is not primitive.

Far from it. Fern plantings imbue a garden with sophistication — if only more people knew it.

A plant that may have climbed out of the bog remains one of the last underused and undervalued treasures of the garden, a perennial that does not flower but adds a simple beauty to almost any space that is in light to full shade.

The problem for the fern is that it was always viewed as a default plant, one to stick in a deep corner of the garden that’s too gloomy for anything else. There have long been handsome fern species, but in the past few years, growers have introduced spectacularly beautiful ferns with more

colors than green. At the same time, interest in native plants has heightened awareness of indigenous ferns.

What ferns lack in bloom power, they make up for in other ways. In addition to their refinement, they are little bothered by pests and diseases, so you don’t need to spray them with nasty chemicals.

Moreover, ferns are not troubled by deer, rabbits, squirrels, groundhogs, chipmunks, voles and the rest — these pesky mammals are a real bane to those of us who grow other plants, but when it comes to ferns, these creatures are largely uninterested. (A deer may find a fern glade a nice place to make a bed.)

“Twenty-five years ago, you might have found nine ferns to plant. Today, we produce about 160 different See FERNS, Page D3 PHOTO BY ADRIAN HIGGINS / THE WASHINGTON POST

Five favorite ferns: Japanese painted fern (Athyrium niponicum var. Pictum) Adored for its silver foliage, the Japanese painted fern has silver fronds with purple and magenta leaf centers that give it an extraordinary refinement. It grows to about 12 inches and the same across, and in a massing provides a splash of color that lasts from April to October. There are a number of named varieties, although several are not much different from the parent. Here are some worth seeking out: Regal Red, which has a burgundy red center and grows to 20 inches, and Godzilla, a particularly robust selection that grows to 24 inches or higher.

There have long been handsome fern species, but in the past few years, growers have introduced spectacularly beautiful ferns with more colors than green. Here are five of my favorites.

— Adrian Higgins, The Washington Post Ghost fern (Athyrium x Ghost) Ghost is a selection from the suburban Richmond garden of the late Nancy Sweet and is probably a natural hybrid of the Japanese painted fern and the European lady fern. It is gray-green and exhibits extraordinary vigor, growing to two feet high. It is superb for lighting up a dark corner of the garden. With some shade and constant moisture, it retains a freshness through the summer. My absolute favorite fern.

Autumn fern Brilliance (Dryopteris erythrosora Brilliance) The autumn fern is one of a few evergreen ferns, and its new growth in the spring is coppery red.

The variety Brilliance retains that ornament through the growing season as new fronds continue to appear. It is magnificent.

Dixie wood fern (Dryopteris x australis) This is a natural hybrid of two wood fern species. Gardeners love it for its vigor; it grows to four feet or more while not outgrowing its space.

Northern maidenhair fern (Adiantum pedatum) Tall and with showy curving fronds, this fern has a sculptural quality that makes it perfect to grow close to where it will be seen and enjoyed, perhaps next to a shaded patio. The maidenhair fern needs attentive watering in summer when first planted and space to expand unimpeded, but its foliar swirls are among the most beguiling leaf patterns of all plants in the garden.

The Southern species has its own delicacy but is not as architectural in habit.

Chairs have changed a lot over the centuries

HARP GALLERY

The wooden office chair of the 19th century has changed with technology. The base became iron, the chair could tilt and swivel, and the back could lean. But it all was replaced when the mesh-backed chair was introduced in 1994.

This antique wooden chair is priced $695 at Harp Gallery (Harpgallery.com) in Appleton, Wisconsin.

hairs have one main purpose, but they are made in multiple shapes, sizes and types of material. Pictures show chairs in ancient Egypt, but they were not in common use until the 16th century. A king or religious leader had a very large chair (throne), often with arms that had elaborate decoration. Other people sat on stools. But by the 18th century, chairs were part of everyday life for the rich.

The standard shape included a high back, wooden seat, four legs, and perhaps arms. But the largest chair in the house, the seat of power, was for the husband.

That tradition still remains. Dining-room chair sets have one or two larger armchairs and about six to eight narrow chairs with no arms.

Catalogs for manufactured office furniture made from about 1850 to the present include a large chair for the company president, smaller chairs for salesmen, and narrow, lower chairs or stools for secretaries. By the 1900s, woven wicker, metal and plastic all allowed designers

to create new types of chairs. The new plastic and mesh chair introduced in 1994 was less expensive and more comfortable than the standard wooden chairs used for 100 years. It was so popular, it replaced the old wooden chair, and many small wooden chair companies were forced out of business.

Q: I have a metal “Little Orphan Annie” electric toy stove. It’s red with a white top and four lithographed pictures of Annie and her dog, Sandy, on the front. There are three “burners,” a series of holes punched in the stove top, and two ovens.

The stove heats up when plugged in. It’s 83⁄4 inches high, 91⁄2 inches wide, and 6 inches deep. The sides are marked “Made in the United States” and the bottom is embossed “Louis Marx & Co., New York” and “Catalog K43.” What is the value and where can I sell it?

A: The comic strip “Little Orphan Annie” started in 1924. Annie and her dog, Sandy, have appeared in comic books, radio shows, movies, and musicals since then, and many toys, dishes and

other memorabilia featuring the characters have been made. Louis Marx & Co. was in business from 1919 to 1978. The company made two versions of this stove.

You have two ovens. The other version, K44, has an upper oven and two lower ovens. Both stoves were made in different colors and originally came with three baking pans. The stoves date from the 1930s.

They wouldn’t be considered safe for children today. Online, the stoves are priced from $25 to $75.

Q: I have a clear glass Jeannette Iris and Herringbone 9-inch pitcher that has an inclusion from the manufacturer. How does this affect the value?

A: Inclusions are imperfections in the glass that happen during production.

They usually don’t affect the price. Some collectors like to buy pieces with inclusions because they are unique, although most only want perfect pieces. Iris & Herringbone, usually called “Iris,” was made by the Jeannette Glass Co., of Jeannette,

Causes and solutions for low water pressure in a house

M

any homeowners have experienced the irritation of dealing with low water pressure in the house at least once. Low water pressure makes simple daily activities, such as showering or washing your dishes, frustrating and time consuming, but finding the cause can be the most irksome aspect of this common plumbing problem.

So what causes a home’s low water pressure? Here are some of the usual suspects, as well as some possible solutions: Debris and mineral

buildup in pipes. Debris — such as sand, dirt, and pollutants — can enter your home’s pipes when a water main fractures. Even without a fractured line, your pipes are susceptible to mineral buildup from the deposits that water leaves behind when traveling through your home.

Even a small amount of sediment can create a blockage in your home’s plumbing. The solution to this piping problem is to examine a section of the pipe to determine whether mineral buildup is the problem. If this is the case,

plumbing chemicals that break down and flush the debris can solve the problem more often than not.

Corrosion buildup inside piping. Although your steel or galvanized water piping systems are intended to last up to 20 years, the insides of these pipes tend to block the flow of water with natural corrosion over the years.

In terms of repairing, there isn’t much that homeowners can do to completely rectify this problem.

However, replacing all of the pipes is a perfectly viable solution. You should

expect a long and somewhat expensive process, but the positive aspect is that it may only need to be done a few times in a lifetime.

Plumbing leaks. It’s more or less evident that a leak in your home’s plumbing system will reduce the water pressure throughout the home simply because not all of the water is flowing toward its proper place.

To determine whether you have a leak, shut off all of the water taps both inside and outside of your home, and then record the meter. Come back a

couple of hours later to see whether the meter has changed. If your water usage has increased at all from your first recording, there’s a good chance you have a leak that needs to be repaired by a plumber.

Municipal water supply malfunctions. Sometimes, your problems with water pressure may have nothing to do with your own piping system. It may be caused by a malfunction in your area’s municipal water supply. Just as with your own piping, these systems are subject to leaks, buildups and other problems that

can affect the water supply and water pressure. Fortunately, you can call your local municipal water supply company to determine whether the municipal water systems are the issue and whether the problems will be corrected quickly.

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

BACKYARD PRIVACY 1367783

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.

New plants, like pets, need plenty of love and care P lants are a lot like pets. They are living creatures that want to be loved and cared for, and “adopted” by a loving family that will care for them.

No one in their right mind would bring home a new puppy and not make sure it had water and food, yet home owners often bring home new plants, water them once and then leave them to fend for themselves.

Too bad plants can’t talk.

New plants are just as vulnerable as new puppies, only they can’t whine or whimper when they are hungry or thirsty. It is our responsibility to make sure

professionals are an excellent resource when it comes to gardening knowledge. As the expression goes: “It is always easier to answer a stupid question than fix a stupid mistake.”

I can assure you that 90 percent of the time, if a plant fails to establish itself it is a water-related problem. In the winter it would be too much water or lack of drainage and in the summer it would be insufficient water around the root ball caused by backfilling with bone dry soil or not watering deeply enough at the time of transplanting.

STEVE SMITH THE WHISTLING GARDENER they are properly cared for and sometimes that involves educating ourselves as to how exactly to do that.

This is obviously not an intuitive process for some people. Always ask questions at the time of your purchase. Nursery

You don’t have to be a seasoned gardener to be successful at growing. Once you get your new plant home, follow these simple steps: plant it, water it, feed it, love and care for it. That’s it.

There’s no rocket science involved.

The step people miss the most is the love and care part. Adopt your plants into your family and give them ongoing attention and care, just as you would for new children and pets.

Even if you forget to water one day, don’t give up and think that’s the end. Make up for it the next day with

a good watering and some extra TLC. It’s important to remember that plants need to learn to crawl before they can walk and to do this they need helping hands. A plant brought home from the garden center is being thrust into a new and foreign environment, and until it has its “legs” firmly planted in the ground it will not survive without assistance. It will usually take a year or two for a plant to get truly established. Even well-established plants will need a little extra help from us when the mercury

rises to 95 degrees and the annual rainfall is 7 inches below normal.

When it comes to bringing home a new plant, take it seriously. Care for it, love it and nurture it until it can stand on its own two legs — or in this case roots.

Remember, plants do in fact talk to us; we just need to tune in and learn their language. It’s probably a blessing that they don’t speak our language or some of us might get an earful.

Steve Smith is owner of Sunnyside Nursery in Marysville and can be reached online at info@ sunnysidenursery.net.

varieties, maybe 100 for landscape use,” said Kent Kratz, vice president for research for a major wholesale fern grower, Casa Flora, based in Dallas.

The only real consideration when planting a fern is that the soil has some organic matter and is not allowed to dry out. Ferns will take more sunlight than you imagine and less shade. If you have darkness the whole day long, stick in an aspidistra.

With such a large palette available, ferns can be used as accent plants, as specimens, as ground covers and as filler plants. When you place different species together, something amazing happens: You see that they are not all the same.

In larger shade gardens, ferns can be planted as an alternative to the blankets of mulch that are spread each year to provide a visual uniformity and to keep weeds at bay. Two related ferns will colonize nicely in such places — the hay-scented fern and the New York fern. They may

Q: I have a very old wooden washing machine that was left in my grandfather’s house.

100,000 now in use.” With such a large number in use, the machine must have been produced for more than a year by 1898.

The history of the brand is confusing. Another Cincinnati company, Mollenkamp & Klausmyer, began manufacturing Champion Washing Machines in 1875. The New Standard Champion washing machine was listed as a brand of the Boss Washing Machine Co., also in Cincinnati, in 1903. Boss made its early wooden washing machines of red cypress, which was impervious to water, and tinned nails that didn’t rust.

Living in parsonage part of the package

DAILY CROSSWORD

Adapted from a recent online discussion.

Hi, Carolyn: My significant other and I have been dating almost two years and have, in the last few months, become more committed to each other and more open/trusting of each other. We are seriously discussing marriage. I love her, and there are just so many great things about her ... one of which is that she cares so much about other people, and tries to do so much good in her job as a pastor.

However, she lives in the parsonage right next to the church.

The idea of moving into the parsonage feels somewhat oppressive to me — particularly because she has lived there as a single person for several years, but also because of the proximity to her job, which is not just a 9-to-5, keep-work-separate-from-home position. We are thinking about potential solutions, but it is still a difficult situation.

Do you have any advice at all?

Specifically, any ideas about how not to feel like I’m just “fitting in” to her existing life by moving in around the edges of the parsonage and the job? I want to feel like we’re starting our new life together, but it’s difficult to get past how established her life is in the parsonage.

CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT — Don’t Want to Live in the Parsonage I’ve actually lived a version of this — teacher/boarding school, not pastor/parsonage, but the similarities are strong: housing that’s part of a job that isn’t neatly 9 to 5, where he was already established before I arrived.

From that perspective, I think you’re overthinking. Or overdreading, maybe.

For one, when the job doesn’t fit in a neat 9-to-5 box, it’s actually better to be living right there. Otherwise you would be in your nice, shared, private home never actually seeing your significant other because she’d always be at work, or commuting to or from. Not the effect you’re going for, I expect.

And, just because the space is attached to the job doesn’t mean it can’t be yours, too. Let yourself

see the shared home as your private space, or even see just parts of it as belonging to you and your significant other, even if you don’t own it and you’re just temporary occupants. Go out of your way, together, to set up the space to your tastes; even if occasional relocations are part of the job, you can just think like a renter and make choices that are easy to move. See the person as your home, not the place.

And, simplistic as it sounds, be yourself there, too; don’t constantly bemoan that work is right outside the window, or edit yourself because you came later and therefore it’s not your space.

Look at it this way: More people are starting to live this way, not fewer, with telecommuting and shared office spaces and ever more blurring of lines. When she gets called to work, just remind yourself to be grateful she wastes only a minute getting there and a minute getting back, which maximizes your time together.

If you simply can’t imagine the ever-present job, though, then this might not be the person for you. You really do need to buy into the idea that loving her means sharing her ungrudgingly with her work.

Husband’s emotional abuse too much to fix Dear Abby: I have been married to “Ken” for 10 years. He is a successful business owner. It has been a struggle to stay married to him because he has control issues and when he doesn’t get his way, he begins a verbal assault on his victim — usually me.

He has no friends because he runs them off, claiming they did him wrong (not true), and his employees don’t like him and talk badly about him behind his back. They stay because he pays well. He uses his money to control people.

I love Ken, and life can be normal at times, but once he thinks I’m getting out from under his thumb, his destructive behavior begins.

He treats me like his worst enemy. The pain is becoming unbearable. One minute he tells me he loves me, and the next he is punishing me for not coming home from the store on time.

I researched online and learned he has many of the traits of a narcissist. It scares me because he doesn’t know he has a problem. He thinks the rest of the world is messed up instead of him.

I don’t know whether to stay, hoping he’ll see the light one day, or get out before I’m emotionally damaged beyond repair. — Broken In Texas Dear Broken: Your husband may have a personality disorder, but YOU are a victim of emotional and financial abuse. Much as you might want to, you can’t “fix” him because he appears to be comfortably in denial about having a problem. It is important, however, that you get some help for yourself.

South’s contract of four spades appeared to be unbeatable. South won the first diamond with the ace and led a trump to dummy’s queen. East played low as if he had never heard of the king of trumps.

Dear Abby: A bus station I was waiting in had two clearly marked men’s and women’s single restrooms. What do you say or do when the women’s bathroom is occupied and there are two women waiting ahead of a man to use the men’s restroom? Who has priority for the men’s room in this case? The two women ahead of me in line, or me, the male who came after them? I’d like to point out that they were young women who were clearly not in an emergency. — Waiting In Line In California Dear Waiting: The person whose gender matches the sign on the door should take precedence — although a gentleman probably wouldn’t insist upon it if a lady seemed to be in distress.

finessed in trumps again, and this time East took the king and led the four of hearts.

West won with the jack and cashed the ace, and when East followed with the deuce, West knew South had no more hearts. So West led a club, and East ruffed. Down one!

South played the spade suit correctly, but the right way to play a suit may be the wrong way to approach the play of a deal. After dummy’s queen wins the first trump, South should continue with the ace and jack. He can’t possibly lose more than a trump and two hearts.

ANSWER: Partner is still trying for game despite your lack of encouragement, and his third bid improves your hand. You have no wasted spade honors opposite his shortness. Your hand is worth five clubs, but since his pattern might be 1-5-4-3, raise to only four clubs.

Kermit, Miss Piggy split, but team up on ABC comedy BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.

— Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy, who have been on-again, off-again over the years, have now called it quits. But they’re vowing to remain professional on their new prime-time comedy, “The Muppets,” premiering Sept. 22 on ABC. The pair confirmed their breakup at a biannual ABC panel for TV critics Tuesday. An official statement followed on their official Twitter accounts.

“People change. So do frogs and pigs. ... We were together for a long, long time and it’s personal,” Kermit said.

Kermit also acknowledged starting a new relationship with another pig, a woman named Denise who works in ABC Marketing.

“The Muppets” is a mockumentary-style look at Kermit, Piggy, Fozzie and the gang as they produce a late-night talk show for Miss Piggy called “Up Late With Miss Piggy.”

The former couple sat at Tuesday’s panel with co-executive producers Bill Prady and Bob Kushell.

Prady said the idea to bring “The Muppets” back to prime time came up eight years ago but the timing wasn’t right. He took the idea to ABC in February. He said the network wanted a pilot right away so he created a 10-minute presentation.

He hoped to take the summer to do more, but ABC ordered the show to series with a fall premiere.

“There’s no part of me whatsoever that did not

want to wait,” Prady said.

“This went very fast and, you know, it makes the work harder.”

Although there will be musical guests, the show will be less like a variety show and more like “The Office” or “Modern Family.”

This is a new direction for “The Muppets,” but Kushell said he believes it will appeal to both old and new fans.

“Anybody that hasn’t seen ‘The Muppets’ in the past will see this whole new world and it will seem fresh and original and new to them, and anybody that has grown up with that will have that nostalgic feel but also their minds blown by the way we are doing the show,” he said.

Though they were rich, famous and incredibly good looking, they could not make it last. Let there be no doubt: Rocking celebrity couple Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale are parting ways after nearly 13 years of marriage.

“While the two of us have come to the mutual decision that we will no longer be partners in marriage, we remain partners in parenthood and are committed to jointly raising our three sons in a happy and healthy environment,” the soon-to-be former couple said in a statement, as Us Weekly reported. “To that end, we respectfully request privacy from the media during this time.”

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Thursday, August 6, the 218th day of 2015. There are 147 days left in the year.

Today’s highlight: On August 6, 1945, during World War II, the United States dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan, resulting in an estimated 140,000 deaths. (Three days later, the United States exploded a nuclear device over Nagasaki; five days after that, Imperial Japan announced its surrender.)

On this date: In 1813, during the Venezuelan War of Independence, forces led locally owned and operated

by Simon Bolivar recaptured Caracas.

In 1862, the Confederate ironclad CSS Arkansas was scuttled by its crew on the Mississippi River near Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to prevent capture by the Union.

In 1914, AustriaHungary declared war against Russia and Serbia declared war against Germany.

In 1930, New York State Supreme Court Justice Joseph Force Crater went missing after leaving a Manhattan restaurant; his disappearance remains a mystery.

But I am really proud of it.”

Meanwhile, in Rolling Stone, Rossdale was offering somewhat backhanded praise of his union with Stefani that hinted he had become the couple’s Art Garfunkel — and resented it. As RS put it: “Stefani ... keeps him humble with her various stratospheric successes.”

“She’s taught me how to be a better person,” he said.

And: “You might come in with two of something, and she’s got 12 of something,” Alas and alack, the split, which Stefani said was due to irreconcilable differences, will be more than tabloid fodder for the couple’s three tastefully named children, of whom they are both seeking joint custody: Kingston, 9; Zuma, 6; and Apollo, 17 months.

Bio on Trump moved up to October NEW YORK — With Donald Trump still leading in Republican presidential polls, the publisher of a biography that features interviews with the real estate mogul is moving up the release date from early next year to this fall.

St. Martin’s Press announced Tuesday that it has set an Oct. 6 sale date for Michael D’Antonio’s “Never Enough: Donald Trump and the Pursuit of Success.” According to

St. Martin’s, the book draws on “multiple exclusive” conversations with Trump, and interviews with some of his children and with ex-wives Ivana Trump and Marla Maples. Trump’s candidacy has revived interest in some of his own books, including “Time to Get Tough” and “Trump: The Art of the Deal.” Both books were out of stock Tuesday on Amazon.com.
