Snohomish County is ready to consider plans for a new vintage airplane museum at Paine Field, but airport officials have revenue concerns about the proposal.

Glynis Frederiksen and Brian Campbell, of Seattle, have lunch Sunday in the light of a mural painted by Lake Stevens High graduate and movie star Chris Pratt at Omega Pizza and Pasta in Granite Falls. Pratt, a close friend of the owner’s son, has been known to tie on an apron and help out in the kitchen.

Movie star Chris Pratt’s mural graces Granite Falls restaurant’s wall

By Kari Bray Herald Writer

GRANITE FALLS — A mural in Barbara Petrakopoulos’ restaurant has her juggling phone calls, pizzas and crowds of new customers asking for her by name.

It all started last week when the Internet erupted with the news that Hollywood hero

Chris Pratt — star of the blockbusters “Jurassic World” and “Guardians of the Galaxy” — had painted Chris Pratt a mural on the wall of his friend’s parents’ restaurant more than a decade ago, years

before millions of fans knew his name.

One such fan spotted the mural while dining at Omega Pizza and Pasta, a family-owned Greek and Italian restaurant at the corner of South Granite Avenue and East Stanley Street in Granite Falls. The fan shared his discovery of the artwork, signed “Chris Pratt,” on the social media website imgur.

Pratt, 36, confirmed its authenticity on Twitter on Aug. 4.

“Haha! Yes!” he tweeted.

“Find my mural at Omega Pizza and Pasta in Granite Falls, WA. Barb will take good care of you.”

Some people have known about the mural for years and fans stopped in to check it out,

EVERETT — Snohomish County leaders could decide soon on clearing the way for a vast expansion of Paine Field’s already impressive trove of vintage airplanes.

If the vision from aircraft collector John Sessions materializes, the community stands to gain a cluster of world-class exhibits on the west side of Paine Field. It would add to the Boeing Tour, Future of Flight and other historic aviation facilities on airport grounds.

To make it happen, though, the county would have to donate — or at least forgo lease revenue — on more than 12 acres of prime airport real estate. And that’s causing heartburn for airport officials.

“There are other entities that have expressed interest in that area for fair market value,” airport director Arif Ghouse said. “What we recommend — bottom line — is not to give away airport land for no rent.”

The decision rests with the County Council.

Sessions is prepared to present his proposal during a council committee meeting at 9 a.m.

Hodson’s break-in in at the courthouse May 24 created a stir in downtown as police officers hunted for him for a couple of hours.

Police said Hodson got into the courthouse by smashing a glass door with a crowbar. He rifled through a metal cabinet near the entrance and then took the stairs to the sheriff’s office on the fourth floor, where he pried open the door.

Parasite yet another threat to Space salad: 1 small bite for man, 1 giant leaf for mankind already troubled amphibians Associated Press

Associated Press

WASHINGTON — These are the salad days of scientific research on the International Space Station.

On Monday, for the first time astronauts munched on red romaine lettuce that they grew in space.

After clicking their lettuce leaves like wine glasses, three astronauts tasted them with a bit of Italian balsamic vinegar and extra-virgin olive oil.

Astronaut Kjell Lindgren pronounced it awesome, while Scott Kelly compared the taste to arugula. They talked about how the veggies added color to life in space.

WASHINGTON — Scientists have identified a new problem for amphibians, which are already shrinking in numbers: A parasite is infesting tadpoles worldwide.

The family of parasites, related to a bug that attacks oysters, has been found in the livers of frogs and tadpoles on three continents and in both temperate and tropical climates. Researchers linked it to a mass die-off of tadpoles in a Georgia lake.

“There have been numerous outbreaks with this parasite, what we presume to be the same parasite, all over the

Tuesday. Airport officials also plan to share their concerns publicly for the first time.

Sessions first pitched his plan to the county in late 2013. He wants to create what he calls a historic aviation campus.

An attorney and developer, Sessions founded the Historic Flight Foundation in 2003 to focus on airplanes built between 1927 and 1957. He opened a facility at Paine Field in 2010 with space to display more than a dozen planes at a time. Now, the collection is outgrowing the 18,000-square-foot building.

The campus concept grew from thoughts about how to expand. The idea is to add another five buildings nearby, along taxiway

Petrakopoulos said. But it’s never been quite like the rush after last week’s shout-out from Pratt and the subsequent articles in entertainment publications around the country.

eastern part of the United States,” said University of Georgia wildlife ecology professor Michael Yabsley, co-author of a study published Monday by the Proceedings of the National of Academy of Sciences. “It’s certainly going to be one of the things we are worried about for the long-term health of amphibians.”

Study lead author Thomas Richards said amphibian numbers are already falling because of habitat loss, climate change, fungus and other diseases. He said this new parasite is “just one more threat.”

“I worry about amphibians generally,” said

Richards, who is from the University of Exeter in England. Amphibians are the family of animals that include frogs, toads, newts and salamanders.

Richards said it is still unclear how big a problem the parasite is, if at all.

That’s because 99 percent of tadpoles don’t make it to frogs anyway, being eaten by predators, he and Yabsley said.

“I am not at all alarmed yet, but I am interested and will keep by eyes peeled,” said University of California biologist David Wake, who wasn’t part of the study. But he did add for amphibians “it seems to be death by a thousand cuts.”

Kilo 6. The new buildings would each average about 28,000 square feet.

“What really gave this steam was two years ago, when the county came out with its strategic plan for tourism,” Sessions said.

“Paine Field was the main draw. We should do everything we can to make it successful. Why don’t we see what we can do with our plans to expand?”

Sessions contends there’s no downside to his proposal. He’s in touch with people in charge of some of the world’s preeminent aircraft museums. He believes he could get them on board — if the county commits the space.

“We’re just a bit player in this,” he said. “Our goal is to have five world-class collections (or museum exhibits) here.”

Sessions has made presentations about the proposal to elected officials in Arlington, Everett, Lynnwood, Mukilteo and

Snohomish. City leaders have reacted with uniform support, he said.

Paine Field administrators, however, said the 12-plus acres Sessions wants for his campus could command about $350,000 per year in rent. They’ve received lease inquires from two parties other than Sessions, including a company that wants to build corporate hangars on five to seven acres.

The Boeing Co. currently has a short-term lease to use the area around taxiway Kilo 6 for parking jets.

The aerospace giant pays a rate of $200,000 per year.

Instead of Sessions’ plan, airport officials want to put out a request for proposals to see what kind of interest the land gets from other parties.

Beyond lost lease revenue, county officials worry about being disqualified from Federal Aviation Administration grants, which have funded

about $52 million in Paine Field development during the past decade.

County officials sought the FAA’s advice about Session’s concept. The head of the FAA’s Seattle District Office said it presents several potential problems.

In one version of the campus proposal, the county would deed over the land to a governing authority for the aviation campus, which in turn would lease out the land. The FAA said there could be a negative impact on other airport uses if the county gives up control of the land.

A free or reduced lease also could create a fairness issue with other aircraft collections at the airport, which pay more than $1.2 million in combined rent.

Additionally, former Paine Field director Dave Waggoner, in an email to the FAA last year, said some of Sessions’ economic assumptions were “difficult

to understand and appear to be exaggerated.”

Sessions maintains the county stands to recoup the land’s value many times over if the campus takes shape. Private investment in roads and utilities alone would reach $3 million.

At worst, he said, the county would get the land back in a few years if his vision doesn’t take off.

He even hired a Washington, D.C., attorney who formerly served as the FAA’s chief counsel to rebut the conclusions reached by Paine Field administrators.

“It should not lead to any kind of problem with the FAA whatsoever,” Sessions said.

County Council members can move the issue for action at a future meeting, or take more time to think it over.

relaxing — walk into the distinctive brick building on the corner and ask for Barb.

“I’m the one that will take care of you, no matter who you are,” Petrakopoulos said Friday. “You don’t have to be famous.”

She and her husband, Kostas, own the restaurant and look forward to celebrating 20 years of business in February. Pratt has been friends with their son, Alex, 36, since the two were kids.

The whole Petrakopoulos family is proud of Pratt, she said, including Alex, his parents and their extended family in Greece

and Germany.

“He’s a good gentleman, a good friend, a good father, a good husband,” Petrakopoulos said. “And he is a good actor now. He has blossomed.”

She’s always excited to see him when he’s in town and has time to stop by with his wife, Anna Faris, another Hollywood star from Snohomish County, and their young son. Pratt grew up in Lake Stevens; Faris in Edmonds.

Last week wasn’t the first time Pratt put in a good word for his friend’s family restaurant. When in Snohomish County, he likes to hike on trails up the Mountain Loop Highway and stop at Omega for lunch or dinner, he said in an interview last year.

He’s mentioned Omega on social media multiple times, directing people

there when they tweet that they’re in the area.

Barbara Petrakopoulos is grateful. It makes her happy to see local kids become successful, she said. She’s even happier to see them give back and stay true to their roots.

“We have somebody from here that has made it and he’s made it big,” she said. “He’s such a nice person and a good man.”

He may have gotten paint all over the restaurant floor when he created the now-famous mural, but cleaning up the mess was more than worth it, she said.

“This is what he does for us,” Petrakopoulos said.

“We’re a small business and he’s really helped us.

We’re just ordinary people that like to cook.”

Barbara, 59, and Kostas, 69, specialize in

from-scratch Italian and Greek food, she said.

Though work has been hectic since Pratt’s mural went viral, she’s determined to make sure the food and service bring people back after they’ve had their fill of the artwork. She doesn’t hesitate to pause during an interview about Pratt to pull a pizza out of the oven, walk a check over to a table or ask a departing customer how the food was.

The shout-outs from Pratt mean more than people realize, not just for publicity and business, but because she knows he means them from the heart, Petrakopoulos said.

“And we consider all of our stuff special because we do it from the heart,” she said.

Fire slightly delays Maltby barn nuptials A catalytic converter ignited a 1-acre blaze in dry grass, burning 2 guests’ cars

By Rikki King Herald Writer

MALTBY — George Lee’s big red barn turns 100 this year.

His grandfather built the barn in 1915, on the family’s homestead on Maltby Road, where Lee still lives.

There was quite the commotion on the property this weekend. A distant relation had her wedding at the barn.

The vows were delayed about an hour after two guests’ cars burned.

Investigators believe a catalytic converter from one of the

cars started the blaze, catching dry grass on fire. A 2008 Infinity and a 2012 Ford Mustang both were destroyed, said Eric Andrews, the deputy chief at Snohomish County Fire District 7, which includes Maltby.

The incident was reported to 911 shortly before 4 p.m.

As firefighters headed over, they could see a column of thick black smoke, Andrews said.

“They requested more help right away,” he said.

Cars for about 200 guests were parked in three-foot-tall brown grass.

“The people were running to

move their cars from the one that was burning,” he said.

Then the wind picked up and started pushing the fire east, toward the barn and other buildings. The wedding party and their guests were asked to move across the street until the fire was extinguished. It grew to about an acre before that happened.

The fire serves as a reminder to stay vigilant as the dry season continues, Andrews said.

“Those catalytic converters, they burn hot,” he said. “They burn between 900 and 1,000 degrees. They can go up to

2,000 degrees. It only takes 400 degrees to spontaneously light grass on fire.”

Crews from Woodinville, Monroe and Gold Bar assisted with the two-alarm fire. One wedding guest, a man believed to be in his 30s, was taken to the hospital after he collapsed from heat exhaustion while trying to help the crews.

The decorations were “luckily, on the other side of the barn,” Andrews said. “They might have gotten smoked up a little bit, but nothing burned.”

After the ceremony, the firefighters approached the bride

and groom and offered to take pictures of them with the crews and the rigs. One photo shows the bride standing on the back of a fire truck, holding her bouquet The couple, who are from Snohomish County and declined to speak for this story, “were happy and they loved doing that,” Andrews said.

Catalytic converter fires are more common in the dry months. A GMC minivan burned up that way in September 2012 along Marsh Road near Snohomish. Just driving through dry See NUPTIALS, Page A4

Cleanup on former fuel sites to begin next year

front porch

The owner of a former fuel terminal near the Edmonds waterfront will clean up the site’s last two contaminated areas next year under a work plan being reviewed by the state Department of Ecology.

The bulk fuel terminal was operated from 1923 to 1991 by Unocal, now a subsidiary of Chevron Corp. Cleanup work on a related problem, the former tank farm on a nearby hill overlooking Puget Sound, has been completed. The tanks were demolished and the soil beneath them excavated and tested to ensure they were free of petroleum contaminants, said David South, the Department of Ecology’s site manager.

The Point Edwards condominiums were built on the site.

The cleanup plan now being reviewed by the state agency involves a nearby lower work yard where fuel was loaded

Public meeting A community meeting and open house is scheduled from 6:30 to 9 p.m. Aug. 20 at the Plaza Room of the Edmonds Library, 650 Main St. The meeting will discuss plans for the cleanup of two remaining contaminated areas at a former fuel terminal near the Edmonds waterfront. Email comments also may be submitted through Aug. 31 at David.South@ecy.wa.gov. A history of the site is available at www.unocaledmonds.info.

onto trucks, he said. An asphalt plant also operated was on the site. The area is adjacent to Edmonds Marsh.

A public meeting on the cleanup plan is scheduled from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. Aug. 20 at the Edmonds Library. There will be a half hour overview of the proposed clean up plan before opening the meeting to questions.

Co. will do the cleanup work, he said.

Cleanup of the lower work yard began in 2001 “to get the worst of it out,” he said. That included excavation of the soil.

Contaminated soil nearest the creek was removed.

Two areas haven’t been excavated. They are near a storm water detention basin and a state Department of Transportation storm drain. The work will involve removing diesel and heavy oil contaminants such as benzene from the soil,

he said. “It apparently hasn’t gotten off-site,” he said. Ground water monitoring wells have been installed and sampling has been conducted twice a year, South said.

Next summer’s cleanup plan calls for workers to remove petroleum-contaminated soil from the half-acre detention basin area and replace it with clean soil. That work is expected to take about four months.

A treatment system to remove contaminates from groundwater and petroleum vapors in the soil also will be installed. This contaminantremoval system would operate for up to six years, according to the proposed cleanup plan. Groundwater from the area discharges into Willow Creek, which runs through the Edmonds Marsh and into Puget Sound.

EVERETT — A Texan was tight-lipped Monday despite a Snohomish County judge’s attempts to get him to explain why he decided to become an outlaw.

Ben McClean told Superior Court Judge Joseph Wilson that he’s not much of a talker.

Wilson calmly grilled McClean, trying to get at why the young man turned to robbery.

“What compels a 22-year-old man with no criminal history to do something like this?” Wilson asked.

McClean shrugged and didn’t offer an explanation. Wilson sentenced him to nearly nine years in prison for the armed heist at a Marysville bank in March.

McClean also is wanted in Texas after allegedly confessing to holding up two banks there before he traveled to Washington.

Court records say McClean brought two guns with him from Houston because he figured there was a good chance he would lose his life savings gambling and would need to rob a bank. He followed through with the plan in Marysville after losing $8,000 in casinos.

The day before the hold-up McClean scouted out the bank and asked about opening an account. The next day he walked in, racked the slide on his handgun as if chambering a round and pointed the weapon at a teller.

He demanded cash and told her she had 20 seconds or the people in the bank were all going to die.

Another bank employee called 911. McClean noticed the woman on the phone and pointed the gun at her, ordering her to hang up. He ran out of the bank with $7,000.

Police swarmed the bank, including an officer with a dog.

The dog picked up a scent and rushed to some bushes 200 feet away. Police found discarded clothing and began yelling orders for the man to surrender. The police dog lunged into the bushes and came out with McClean, who had a wad of cash and a handgun in his waistband. Bank employees identified him as the robber.

He pleaded guilty last month to first-degree robbery with a firearm and second-degree assault.

“I don’t get it and I see you don’t want to talk about it,” Wilson said. “This isn’t the end. It isn’t hopeless.”

Motorcyclist remains hospitalized after crash Herald staff SEATTLE — A Mukilteo man remained hospitalized Monday after crashing his motorcycle near Darrington last week.

The 70-year-old was westbound Friday on Highway 530, between Darrington and Rockport, when the vehicle ahead of him slowed down to make a turn, according to

a Washington State Patrol memo.

The man swerved to avoid a collision and lost control. That happened around noon. He was taken from the scene in a

medical helicopter.

He was listed Monday in satisfactory condition at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. Police said the crash likely was caused by following too closely.

Lake Stevens man improving after alleged DUI wreck Herald staff SEATTLE — A Lake Stevens man’s condition is improving after a July 31 accident.

The man, 47, has been

The man was riding home on his motorcycle

about 2 a.m. July 31 when he was struck by a Honda.

He suffered serious injuries.

The crash happened near the intersection of Vernon Road and Lundeen

Parkway.

The Honda driver, a 20-year-old Lake Stevens man, allegedly had been drinking and is under investigation for vehicular assault.

Proposed fish ‘rest area’ explained at Monroe open house Herald staff MONROE — To help improve and increase the salmon habitat and population in the Skykomish River, Snohomish County Public Works staff are planning to

create a “rest stop area” for fish.

Learn more about the proposed project at an open house scheduled from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Thursday at the Monroe Library, 1070 Village Way.

The work would include placing wood in the river to slow the current, creating pools, providing shade, and reducing the amount of fine sediment flowing into the river. It is planned near the confluence of the

Skykomish and Snoqualmie rivers.

If built, the improvements could have impacts to boaters, rafters and anglers.

Olympia: State funds 3 droughtrelief projects Washington state ecology officials are sending emergency funds to support three drought-relief projects.

Department of Ecology Director Maia Bellon said they’re moving quickly to support critical water supplies for communities, farmers and fish. The three grants will help pay half the costs of projects that focus on drought-relief.

One grant for $47,000 will pay for a new well in Stevens County.

One grant for about $28,800 will increase water conservation in Benton County and about $74,400 will protect spawning salmon in the Dungeness River on the Olympic Peninsula.

Olympic Nat’l Park: No fishing The National Park Service will close most rivers and streams in Olympic National Park to recreational fishing due to severe drought conditions.

KING-TV reported that as of Monday, no fishing will be allowed within the park. Officials said low later levels and high water temperatures are putting stress on salmon and trout in the

Royal City: Ammonia leaks An ammonia leak caused the Grant County Sheriff’s Office to order people living near the Royal Ridge Fruits facility to shelter in place.

Sheriff’s spokesman Kyle Foreman said they issued the order at about 9:50 a.m.

Monday. People within a 1-mile radius of the facility south of Royal City were told to bring family and pets inside, close windows, turn off fans and stay in an interior room.

The ammonia is used as a refrigerant for storing fruit and vegetables.

SeaTac: Detectives investigating body found in park King County Sheriff’s detectives are looking for information concerning a body that was found at SeaTac’s Sunset Park.

SeaTac police were called to the park Sunday morning by a resident who found the body near the entrance.

When deputies arrived they found a body on the side access road to the park.

Officials described the dead man as a Hispanic male in his 40s or 50s.

Sheriff’s detectives are investigating the death as a possible homicide based on how the body was found and apparent signs of trauma to the victim.

Seattle: Rogue crosswalks can stay Seattle officials said they will not paint over the PanAfrican-themed crosswalks that have shown up in the Central District.

KING-TV reported that instead of covering the red, green and black hand-painted stripes, city transportation crews are putting white reflective tape alongside the stripes.

Seattle Department of Transportation Director Scott Kubly said they will

work with the community to develop a long-term plan.

Kubly said the goal is to honor the Central District’s heritage, which has been predominantly African American.

He said money has already been set aside in the mayor’s budget for this year to do just that.

Sequim: Kayaker saves grandson but needs rescue A man who was kayaking with his 6-year-old grandson was able to save the boy when they fell into the cold waters of Dungeness Bay but had to get rescued himself.

The Peninsula Daily News reported that Elden Ross, 74, had taken the boy in his one-person kayak Saturday. When the kayak flipped and threw both of them into the water, Ross turned the kayak up right, but it was partially filled with water.

Ross got the boy inside but he couldn’t get back in himself. Ross tried to swim the kayak back to shore, but the pair became separated.

When the boy’s mother got home, she got into another kayak and reached her son, but her father was not in sight.

The Coast Guard and Clallam County Sheriff’s Office located Ross using GPS and a helicopter. He was hospitalized with hypothermia. The boy wasn’t injured.

Snoqualmie: Crash kills man, injures woman The State Patrol is investigating after a crash on I-90 in Snoqualmie killed one and injured another.

KOMO-TV reported that a 20-year-old driver from Medina was eastbound Saturday afternoon when he swerved and hit a car parked on the left shoulder.

A man standing next to the car was killed. Officials said a woman passenger is in critical condition.

Troopers said they are investigating if the crash was a result of distracted driving.

PUYALLUP — Pierce County officials said a man is in custody on a charge that he maliciously placed a homemade explosive device in a public place.

Prosecutors said Blake Edward Heger, 26, also was charged Monday with one count of having dangerous weapons.

Sheriff’s deputies were called to a Puyallup hardware store Saturday by a person who said Heger was outside sharpening knives and putting them in the back of his pants. A deputy found a 5-inch screwdriver that had been shaved into a dagger and found another knife in his backpack.

Deputies then found two cylinders taped together with fuses wrapped around them under a fence near traffic and walkers.

Heger told deputies they had fallen out of his backpack by accident. The public defender’s office didn’t respond to a request for comment.

The Arlington Fire Department had a catalytic converter fire a couple of years ago, Acting Chief Tom Cooper said. It remains a concern when grass fields get use as parking lots, he said.

That’s why the grass at the fairgrounds is super short, and organizers keep water or fire extinguishers nearby, according to the Monroe Fire Department.

“There’s been a lot of work done in the past,” she said. “Most of the site is defined as clean.

There’s just two remaining areas.”

The company doesn’t publicly disclose cleanup costs, she said. “The more important thing is doing the cleanup.”

Once contaminants are removed, Chevron has a purchase and sale agreement with the

Washington State Ferries, South said.

The agreement was part of the former Edmonds Crossing project to relocate the Edmonds ferry terminal, he said. That project was scuttled during the recession.

The city of Edmonds is now working with the ferry system, the Port of Edmonds, and BNSF railway on a plan to help alleviate traffic backups caused when rail traffic blocks access to the waterfront area including the ferry terminal.

Cooler weather helping Washington firefighters Associated Press Overcast skies and higher humidity helped fire crews get a preliminary line around a wildfire in Lewis County.

Evacuations have been lifted, and there have been no reports of injuries.

While the cooler weather is helping firefighting efforts, crews are keeping an eye on thunderstorms that were in the forecast for late Monday.

Fire crews are working to control a blaze that has spread across nearly 2 square miles on Oahu, Hawaii, and led to evacuations. No structures were damaged

Monday. Part of Highway 270 closed when a pile of timber caught fire.

A fire that started nearly three weeks ago near St. Mary Lake in Montana’s Glacier National Park has burned nearly 7 square miles and is more than half contained.

This summer’s fire season has officially become the second biggest on record in Alaska.

More than 5.08 million acres — or 7,940 square miles — have burned this year. Fire spokesman Sam Harrel said Alaska won’t beat the 6.6 million acres burned in 2004 because the state has entered its seasonal wet period.

There’s at least a month of fire season left, and heavy rainfall isn’t expected until September, Andrews said. Burn bans continue due to the extreme danger, and it doesn’t take much to get a blaze going.

In Snohomish County recently, two lawn mowers have started fires.

The blades struck rocks or other objects and sparked.

Meanwhile on Maltby Road, George Lee, 92, is used to people stopping by to photograph his century-old barn on the hill near the Maltby Cafe.

Lee admits he was a little worried when the fire started spreading east toward the old homestead Saturday. He stayed back at the house during the wedding ceremony. From there, though, he could see the bunches of celebratory balloons rising into the air.

The Northwest Interagency Coordination Center in Portland on Monday posted red flag warnings for thunderstorms across the region through Thursday.

The highest risk for new fires is in southwestern, central and northeastern Oregon, with an elevated risk throughout the region.

Forecasters say a low pressure system is dropping south off the coast and will kick inland Thursday. There will be showers with many of the storms, but some dry lightning as well.

There are currently eight large fires burning in Oregon.

Ferguson on edge after shooting

By Jim Salter and Alan Scher Zagier Associated Press

FERGUSON, Mo. — Ferguson was a community on edge again Monday, a day after a protest marking the anniversary of Michael Brown’s death was punctuated with gunshots and police critically wounded a black 18-year-old accused of opening fire on officers.

Police, protesters and people who live and work in the St. Louis suburb were bracing for what another night of demonstrations along West Florissant Avenue might bring.

The thoroughfare was the site of massive protests and rioting after Brown was fatally shot last year in a confrontation with a white Ferguson officer.

Several hundred people had gathered by 9 p.m. Monday, chanting and holding signs.

There were no apparent signs of conflict.

Earlier in the day, the father of the suspect who was shot called the police version of events “a bunch of lies.”

St. Louis County Executive Steve Stenger declared a state of emergency, which authorizes county Police Chief Jon Belmar to take control of police emergency management in and around Ferguson.

Protests spilled outside of Ferguson. Almost 60 protesters were arrested around midday Monday for blocking the entrance to the federal courthouse in downtown St. Louis.

Protesters later briefly blocked I-70 during the late afternoon rush hour, with an additional undetermined number of arrests made.

That protest, like other commemoration events over the past few days, was largely peaceful and somber. But Sunday, several hundred people gathered on West Florissant, ignoring an officer who repeatedly warned them to get to the sidewalk or face arrest. A few lobbed glass bottles and rocks at officers. One officer was hospitalized with cuts to the face after being hit with a rock. Two others had minor injuries after protesters sprayed them with pepper spray.

Protesters march to the Thomas F. Eagleton Federal Courthouse in downtown St. Louis on Monday. Almost 60 protesters were arrested for blocking the courthouse entrance.

Police stand near a suspect in a parking lot after gunfire was heard during a protest Sunday in Ferguson. St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar said the man fired at police and was struck when officers returned fire. The man, Tyrone Harris Jr., 18, was taken to a hospital.

As tensions escalated, several gunshots rang out near a strip of stores, including some that had been looted moments earlier. What prompted the shooting was not clear, but Belmar said two groups had been feuding. The shots sent protesters and reporters running for cover.

The shooters included the suspect, Tyrone Harris Jr., whom police had been watching out of concern that he was armed, Belmar said.

During the gunfire, the suspect crossed the street and apparently spotted plainclothes officers arriving in an unmarked van with distinctive red and blue police lights, Belmar said. The suspect allegedly shot into the windshield of the van.

The four officers in the van fired back, then pursued the suspect on foot. The suspect again fired on the officers when he became trapped in a fenced-in area, the chief said,

and all four opened fire.

Harris was in critical condition after surgery. Prosecutors announced 10 charges against him, all felonies.

The four officers in the van escaped injury. They were not wearing body cameras, Belmar said.

Tyrone Harris Sr. told The Associated Press his son was a close friend of Michael Brown and was in Ferguson on Sunday night to pay respects.

The elder Harris said his son got caught up in a dispute among two groups of young people and was “running for his life” after gunfire broke out.

“My son was running to the police to ask for help, and he was shot,” he said. “It’s all a bunch of lies ... They’re making my son look like a criminal.”

Online court records show that Tyrone Harris Jr. was charged in November with stealing a motor vehicle and a gun, as well as resisting arrest by fleeing. A court hearing in that case is scheduled for Aug. 31.

Belmar said the suspect who fired on officers had a stolen semi-automatic 9 mm gun.

The police chief drew a distinction between the shooters and the protesters. “They were criminals,” he said of those involved in gunfire. “They weren’t protesters.”

Air controller study shows chronic fatigue

By Joan Lowy Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Air traffic controllers’ work schedules often lead to chronic fatigue, making them less alert and endangering the safety of the national air traffic system, according to a study the government kept secret for years.

Federal Aviation Administration officials posted the study online Monday, hours after The Associated Press reported the findings — and noted that agency officials had declined to furnish a copy despite repeated requests over the past three months, including a Freedom of Information Act filing.

The AP was able to obtain a draft of the final report dated Dec. 1, 2011. The report FAA posted online was dated December 2012, although the findings appear to be nearly identical to the draft.

The impetus for the study was a recommendation by the National Transportation Safety Board to the FAA and the National Air Traffic Controllers Association to revise controller schedules to provide rest periods that are long enough “to obtain sufficient restorative sleep.”

The study found that nearly two in 10 controllers had committed significant errors in the previous year — such as bringing planes too close together — and more than half attributed the errors to fatigue. A third of controllers said they perceived fatigue to be a “high” or “extreme” safety risk.

Overall, controllers whose activity was closely monitored by scientists averaged 5.8 hours of sleep per day over the course

An airplane flies between the air traffic control tower and the Washington Monument at Washington’s Ronald Reagan National Airport on Monday. For nearly four years, the government has kept secret a study it requested that found air traffic controllers’ work schedules often lead to chronic fatigue and endangering the safety of the national air traffic system.

of a work week. They averaged only 3.1 hours before midnight shifts — which typically begin about 10 p.m. and end around 6 a.m. — and 5.4 hours before early morning shifts.

The most tiring schedules required controllers to work five straight midnight shifts, or to work six days a week several weeks in a row, often with at least one midnight shift per week. The human body’s circadian rhythms make sleeping during daylight hours before a midnight shift especially difficult.

The study is composed of a survey of 3,268 controllers about their work schedules and sleep habits, and a field study that monitored the sleep and the mental alertness of more than 200 controllers at 30 air traffic facilities.

NASA produced the study at the FAA’s request.

J.D. Harrington, a NASA spokesman, also declined to release the study, saying that since the FAA requested it, “they own the rights to decide its release.” NASA gave the scientists who conducted the study an award for the project’s excellence in 2013.

In the field study, researchers concentrated on controllers who worked a schedule known as the “rattler” in which controllers squeeze five eight-hour shifts into four 24-hour periods by cutting the turnaround time between shifts to as little as eight hours. Some controllers like the schedule because it gives them a 3-day weekend.

Controllers participating in the study wore a wrist device that recorded when they were asleep. They also kept logs of their sleep, and were administered alertness tests several times per work shift.

The 270-page study makes 17 recommendations to the FAA, including that the agency discontinue mandatory sixday schedules “as soon as possible.” At the time, about 4 percent of controllers were being assigned “a six-day constant schedule,” the study said, but the share of controllers who had actually worked a sixday schedule in their previous work week was 15 percent.

More than 30 percent of controllers who worked the six-day schedules said they had committed a significant error in the previous year. Three years later, controllers at several air traffic facilities told the AP that sixday work weeks are common.

The board’s recommendations were the result of a 2006 accident in which a regional airliner crashed while taking off from a runway that was too short in Lexington, Kentucky.

Forty-nine of the 50 people on board were killed. The air traffic controller who cleared the plane for takeoff didn’t notice it turn onto the wrong runway.

The controller had worked all night and had had only two hours sleep in the previous 24 hours.

NASA researchers completed the study draft several months after a series of incidents involving controllers falling asleep on the job embarrassed FAA officials and led to the resignation of the head of the agency’s air traffic organization. In one incident in 2011, two airliners landed at Washington’s Reagan National Airport late at night without assistance from the airport’s control tower where the lone controller on duty had fallen asleep.

ACROSS THE U.S.

Trump, Fox make up after breakup WASHINGTON — Donald Trump’s turbulent relationship with Fox News showed signs of improvement Monday.

Trump and Fox News have been in a bitter feud since last week’s presidential debate. While he leads recent polls, the former reality television star has drawn heated criticism for saying Fox moderator Megyn Kelly had “blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever.”

The network’s chairman, Roger Ailes, reached out to Trump directly Monday, assuring him he’ll be “treated fairly” by the station, Trump tweeted Monday.

Fox News representatives did not respond to a request for comment, but one of the network’s personalities, Steve Doocy, tweeted that Trump would be appearing on “Fox and Friends” Tuesday morning to talk about his relationship with the network.

Calif.: Cocaine seizures The U.S. Coast Guard has seized more cocaine off Latin America’s Pacific coast over the past 10 months than in the previous three years combined, officials said Monday. The military branch has seized 119,000 pounds of cocaine worth more than $1.8 billion so far this year, Adm. Paul Zukunft said in San Diego.

Coast Guard officials could not say whether the increase in seizures signals a spike in cocaine use by Americans.

Zukunft attributed it to the service’s greater presence on the water after having to pull back its boats two years ago to meet automatic funding cuts.

N.Y.: Legionnaires’ toll at 12 Two more people in the Bronx have died of Legionnaires’ disease, bringing the total number of fatalities to 12, officials said Monday. There are now 113 reported cases of Legionnaires’ in the Bronx, and cooling towers in 15 buildings have tested positive for the legionella bacteria, officials said.

Colo.: Mine spill spreads Tribal officials with the Navajo Nation declared an emergency as a massive plume of contaminated wastewater from an abandoned Colorado mine flowed down the San Juan River on Monday toward Lake Powell in Utah, which supplies much of the water to the Southwest. Some drinking water systems on the Navajo Nation, which spans parts of New Mexico, Arizona and Utah, have shut down their intake systems and stopped diverting water from the river. The EPA estimated 3 million gallons escaped. The water is laced with heavy metals, including lead and arsenic, and spilled from the Gold King Mine in Silverton.

AROUND THE WORLD Turkey: Day of violence Two female assailants opened fire at the U.S. Consulate in Istanbul on Monday and at least six Turkish security forces were killed elsewhere in a day of heavy violence in Turkey, where a government crackdown has targeted Islamic State militants, Kurdish rebels and far-left extremists. No one was hurt in the attack on the U.S. Consulate. A far-left group that carried out a 2013 suicide bombing on the U.S. Embassy in Ankara claimed it was involved in the attack. Both assailants fled, and one was later shot and taken into custody.

Mexico: Activist killed Miguel Angel Jimenez, a political activist who played a prominent early role in the search for 43 students and other missing people in southern Mexico, was slain over the weekend, an associate said Monday. Jimenez, a member of the Union of Towns and Organizations, was shot to death. He began organizing searches for 43 teachers’ college students who went missing after they were detained by police last September in Guerrero state.

Sweden: Ikea knife attacks Police arrested two men on suspicion of murder in knife attacks that killed a man and a woman at an Ikea store Monday in Vasteras, police and store officials said. Police said they had not found any connection between the suspected attackers and the victims or between the two attackers. Police said both men were detained. The male victim was dead at the scene, and the woman died later, police said.

German aerospace supplier expanding General Aerospace, which makes parts for the 777 and 737 MAX, is opening its first U.S. office in Lynnwood.

By Dan Catchpole Herald writer

LYNNWOOD — German manufacturer General Aerospace is coming to America. To Lynnwood, specifically.

The small aerospace supplier recently announced plans to open its first office in the United States in Lynnwood.

Founded in 2003, General Aerospace is focused on

increasing its business in the American aerospace industry, company officials said in a press release from Economic Alliance Snohomish County.

“This new location provides General Aerospace with an opportunity to not only work closely with the strong aerospace industry in Snohomish County, but a new means to grow our impact in the United States and global

markets,” General Aerospace Managing Director Samuele Piatti said in the release.

“Snohomish County, specifically Lynnwood, proved to be the best location nationwide for our first expansion into the United States,” he said.

The company, which is based in Eschbach, on Germany’s border with France, makes components focused on motion control, such as shock absorbers, actuators, and electro-mechanical window shades, among other products, for aerospace and defense companies.

Their products are on Boeing’s 777 and 737 MAX. “The environment is ideal for economic growth, especially from aerospace companies.” said Clarence Ivester, the company’s president and director of business development.

Workers based at the Lynnwood office will include engineers, sales support techs and customer service representatives.

Berkshire Hathaway Chairman and CEO Warren Buffett speaks during an interview with the Fox Business Network on May 5, 2014.

Buffett searches for deals of this size to meaningfully improve profits at Berkshire and invest

the company’s $66.6 billion cash it had on hand. The universe of big companies that fit Buffett’s

criteria tend to be manufacturing or industrial firms.

And the 85-year-old Buffett wants to give Berkshire the strongest foundation possible for his investors and whoever eventually succeeds him.

“I think he’s setting things up for the future and he doesn’t want anything terribly risky,” said Andy Kilpatrick, the investor who wrote “Of Permanent Value: The Story of Warren Buffett.”

Precision Castparts, based in Portland, Oregon, has been hit hard by tumbling crude and natural gas prices, but it appears to have strong long-term prospects.

Buffet told CNBC that he would have bought the company even if he knew that commodities were in the midst of a multiyear slump.

SEATTLE — Amazon.com has announced plans for a warehouse in Joliet, Ill., that will create 1,000 full-time jobs when it opens, the online retailer said Monday.

The company plans a 500,000-square-foot “fulfillment” center where workers will process items such as books and electronics. Amazon’s employment website says its warehouse workers must have a high school diploma or the equivalent, and must be able to lift up to 49 pounds.

Ford Motor Co. is scrambling to find enough steel frames to keep up with demand for its best-selling F-150 truck.

Buffett buys Boeing supplier for $32B OMAHA, Neb. — Warren Buffett is making the biggest bet of his long investment career, a $32.36 billion buyout of Precision Castparts in a deal that will continue to reshape his Berkshire Hathaway conglomerate.

The acquisition of the aerospace and industrial company would top Buffett’s $26.7 billion deal for BNSF railroad in 2010. It also follows several huge deals outside of the core insurance companies Buffett built his investment empire, including manufacturers, railroads, utilities and food companies.

Berkshire said Monday that it will pay $235 per share in cash for Precision Castparts’ outstanding stock. The deal is valued at about $37.2 billion, including debt.

Amended drill permit Royal Dutch Shell PLC has applied to amend its federal permit to allow drilling into oil-bearing rock in the Arctic Ocean off Alaska. Shell last month received permission to begin some drilling in the Chukchi Sea. But it was banned from digging into petroleum zones 8,000 feet below the ocean floor because equipment was not on hand to handle a possible well blowout. The equipment is on the Fennica, an icebreaker that suffered hull damage July 3.

The repaired Fennica left Portland, Oregon, on July 30 and is expected to reach the drill site Tuesday.

balance sheets over the past 30 years has been the growing use of credit and households’ subsequent indebtedness,” the report says. “In the years leading up to the Great Recession, the average household at the middle of the wealth ladder more than doubled its mortgage debt.

Although Americans’ debt has decreased since then, housing — which still is the largest liability for most households — and other debt remain higher than they were in the 1990s, and student loan obligations have continued to grow.”

Here’s a key finding from

the report. The jump in debt hasn’t been met with an increase in household income. Debt, of course can become particularly burdensome for lowincome families. In the aftermath of the recession, liabilities for low-income families grew far faster than their income. In 2007, their debt was equal to just one-fifth of their income.

It had ballooned to half by 2013.

Erin Currier, project director of financial security and mobility at Pew Charitable Trusts, said the report specifically examines “how Americans’ growing indebtedness connects to families’ financial security, their attitudes toward it, and how it relates

to their overall financial health.”

As part of the survey, everyone was asked, “What comes closest to your feelings about debt?” Here were the choices: ■■No debt is worth it to me.

■■Some debt is a necessity, but I would prefer not to have it.

■■I am OK taking on the debt that I need.

How would you answer?

I would have added a fourth choice. “I hate debt and so use it begrudgingly.”

It might appear that my answer is similar to “some debt is necessary.” But as I said, there is power in the words we use or the things we tell ourselves. So here’s the distinction. I use debt.

I’ve used it to buy homes.

investment adviser, said Buffett’s field of possible investments is limited because of the size he is looking for today.

Author and investor Jeff Matthews, who wrote “Warren Buffett’s Successor: Who It Is and Why It Matters,” said he doesn’t think Berkshire is getting a good price on Precision Castparts, so he’s not sure it will be good for shareholders, especially since Precision’s business is tied to the airline industry.

“I’m not crazy about

buying a cyclical business like this with the stock market at an all-time high,” said Matthews, who also holds Berkshire stock.

But other analysts said the price appeared fair.

KBW analyst Meyer Shields said Precision Castparts Corp. may be a cyclical business, but Berkshire already owns a number of those and doesn’t mind uneven profits in the short term. Shields said Precision Castparts stock had traded as high as $280 in recent years.

“From the Berkshire perspective, they’re getting a good company on sale,” Shields said.

Precision Castparts will keep its name and will remain in Portland.

The boards of Precision Castparts and Berkshire Hathaway Inc. unanimously approved the transaction, which is expected to close in the first quarter of next year.

Shares of Precision Castparts surged 19 percent, or $37.10, to $230.98 in afternoon trading.

“We’ve long believed that over time companies tend to get comfortable doing the same thing, just making incremental changes,” Page wrote in the post. “Our company is operating well today, but we think we can make it cleaner and more accountable.”

Shares of Google fell less than 1 percent to $663.14 at Monday’s close in New York. The stock is up 25 percent this year, with much of

the gains coming after the company reported quarterly results last month.

The new structure will be introduced in phases over the coming months.

Alphabet will report its results under this new structure commencing with the fourth-quarter earnings release, typically posted in January.

With this move, investors will get more details on how the businesses are operating, a longstanding request from Wall Street.

Under the change, the

core Google company will report separately from the investment and research arms, according to a filing.

“We liked the name Alphabet because it means a collection of letters that represent language, one of humanity’s most important innovations, and is the core of how we index with Google search!” Page said.

“We also like that it means alpha-bet (Alpha is investment return above benchmark), which we strive for!”

I use credit cards. I used to rely on debt to buy cars.

But my internal dialogue is one of loathing when it comes to debt. That in turn keeps me from accumulating amounts that are unsustainable for me and my family.

This summer I saw Disney’s animated movie “Inside Out,” which was a brilliant look at the internal conversations we have with ourselves. The film largely takes place in the mind of 11-year-old Riley, whose emotions are personified as Joy, Sadness, Fear, Anger and Disgust.

At the start of the movie, Joy is the dominant emotion often trying to coach Sadness to always see the positive things in life.

Eventually we see how Sadness plays an important role in keeping Riley balanced. Sometimes it’s OK to be sad.

Now let’s jump back to indebtedness. Our inside conversations should include not just the joy of being able to buy a home or go to college but also sadness, fear, anger and disgust when debt is placed on our balance sheets.

Let’s change the debt dialogue. When we talk out loud and in our heads, sadness, fear, anger and disgust should be powerful motivators to keep debt levels in “sustainable” territory. (c) 2015, Washington Post Writers Group

Columbia House parent files for bankruptcy

By Marley Jay Associated Press

NEW YORK — The company that once offered to sell you eight CDs for 1 cent has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection after almost 20 years of falling sales.

The parent of the Columbia House music and DVD clubs said Monday it plans to sell its Columbia House DVD Club business, which sells recorded movies and TV series directly to consumers, through a bankruptcy auction.

The reasons for the bankruptcy read like a history of the entertainment industry and retail over the last two decades.

In the late 1990s, the mail-order Columbia House Music Club was damaged by Napster, the first major site that allowed people to share their music for free. Then came Apple’s iPod and iTunes music store.

Around the same time, online marketplaces like Amazon.com and eBay were taking off and Netflix offered unlimited DVD rentals through the mail. Universal Music, the largest recorded music company, decided not to renew a license agreement with Columbia House.

Within a few years, Apple and Amazon and Netflix would unveil streaming options that did away with physical media entirely.

Columbia House’s parent says the DVD market has shrunk by about half since 2006.

The New York-based parent company, Filmed Entertainment, says its revenue rose to $1.4 billion in 1996 and fell almost every year after that. In 2014, its revenue totaled about $17 million, barely 1 percent of its peak figure.

The Columbia House music club ended in 2010.

IN OUR VIEW | Social Security’s 80th birthday

Steps for saving the safety net Social Security marks its 80th birthday Friday, and it’s an occasion that should be celebrated. The program that provides a safety net of benefits for American workers and their families at retirement or in the event of disability or early death, was signed into law by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on Aug. 14, 1935.

But as much as it has provided over the years, Social Security is showing its age, or rather, American workers are showing theirs. In 1960, there were more than five workers for every person receiving benefits; that ratio is now fewer than three workers for every beneficiary.

With less money coming in and more being paid out, the Social Security’s trust funds, now valued at $2.8 trillion, are expected to be exhausted in 20 years when there will be only two workers for every retired person. According to an Associated Press report this week, after 2035, only

enough payroll taxes would be collected to pay 79 percent of benefits, forcing an automatic 21 percent cut for the estimated 90 million Americans forecast to receive Social Security.

And Congress needs to address this quickly, particularly for the disability program, the reserves for which are expected to run out by late next year, at which point 19 percent cuts to benefits are possible. A temporary patch is available if Congress were to divert funds from the retirement reserves to the disability program, as it has done before. But a broader fix still is needed.

The issue did receive some attention during the recent debates among Republican presidential candidates. Most among the GOP hopefuls suggest the system should be privatized, with workers’ contributions going into private investment accounts.

Certainly, everyone should be

contributing to 401(k) plans and Individual Retirement Accounts, but mostly to supplement and strengthen the safety net that Social Security provides. Having workers rely solely on investments chances too much on volatile markets.

There are, as the Associated Press report outlines, other remedies, which while not painless will ensure Social Security’s viability for many years to come: ■■Currently, the payroll tax of 12.4 percent is capped at $118,500 of a worker’s wages, meaning wages above that line are not taxed. Removing the cap would make up nearly two-thirds of the shortfall.

■■Increasing the payroll tax rate by a tenth of a percentage point each year until it reaches 14.4 percent, would cut nearly half of the shortfall.

■■Raising the retirement age — currently 66; 67 for those born in 1960 and later — to 68 by 2033, would cut 15 percent from the shortfall. Or raising

the current early retirement age of 62 to 64 in 2023 and the full retirement age to 69 by 2027 would erase 29 percent of the shortfall.

Removing the cap, incrementally increasing the tax rate and raising the retirement age would more than cover the shortfall and also would allow for reform of the annual cost-of-living adjustment formula, a measure called the CPI for the Elderly, which more realistically acknowledges the increased costs the elderly incur for health care.

In the short-term Congress should ensure adequate funding for the disability program with an infusion from the retirement reserves. Doing so knocks a year off Social Security’s run-dry date from 2035 to 2034. But that stop-gap measure should be followed quickly with a more complete fix for the entire system.

Further delay limits the effectiveness of any solutions to which Congress can agree.

Baiting, luring is simply killing Regarding the letter about Cecil the lion and hunting, “Please investigate the other side”: I encourage all those on “the other side” to remember that those with Dr. Palmer used meat to lure the protected lion out of the game preserve, so that he could kill it.

■■SUSTAINABILITY

Hatchery fish in our best interest Contrary to the opinion stated in the Sunday Herald guest commentary, “Reserve three rivers for wild steelhead,” it is not in the best interest of our fisheries to close the release of hatchery fish into any of our rivers. There are many reasons why our waters are struggling to support our fisheries. Gill nets, habitat loss, pollution of our waters and an explosion of marine mammals are but a few examples.

Where was the outrage over the fish consumption rate?

Our hatcheries help mitigate these adverse obstacles and are necessary if we are to preserve this precious resource.

The fact that a small group of misguided individuals can threaten this resource is, in fact, a threat to our salmon and steelhead.

■■FISH POACHERS

We must ensure legal harvest There appears to be a cloud of stench rising over Tulalip Bay. Recently, KIRO television reported that restaurants were buying undocumented crab and shrimp from a commercial source that was traced back to the Tulalip Tribe. Not just any fishermen, but the Tribal director of Fish and Wildlife. Apparently, the fishing was done in the middle of the night and out of season. The crabs and shrimp were sold for only $6 per pound.

Sports fishermen, for the most part, follow the licensing and regulations here in the Puget Sound. There has long been suspicion between the sports fishermen and commercial fishermen that the tribal fisheries do not always account for their full catch and often use much more than their 50 percent allotment given to them by the Boldt Decision.

If the director of fisheries is caught with his hands “dirty,” it would not be out of order to wonder what else is going on over there in Tulalip Bay. In early January, another tribal fisherman was caught trying to sell two bald eagles he had clubbed to death and tried to sell.

What is most concerning is the Everett Herald has had no coverage of the fact that the fisheries director was arrested and booked in Everett and how the case is proceeding.

It is almost as if the tribe has managed to keep bad publicity out of their paper through some unknown means.

If we are going to be able to live in the same space together, there must be a sense of trust between us, and must be some mechanism for ensuring that the allotment

of fish and shellfish is legally harvested. This is paramount now that the climate change in the Pacific Northwest has struck so severely this year and fish runs are so impacted.

Perhaps the tribes, not only the Tulips, should hire directors from other tribes who do not have family connections within the tribe? Perhaps they should account, voluntarily, well kept records to the federal government?

■■TROPHY HUNTERS

Why not try it sans weapons?

What really irks me is that highly educated modern persons can derive pleasure from slaughtering a beautiful animal. It’s not a need for food that drives them nor fear for their lives but bravura. They must possess an urgent need to display their virility to the world in a way they are unable to in their everyday life. They are no doubt insipid individuals who have a poor social existence. I would really test their metal by sending them naked into the wilderness without guns and bows and see how they got on.

Rough edges, not issues, are driving polls

T

he Republican Party is in total chaos. Democrats aren’t there yet but may be approaching the neighborhood. It’s time to acknowledge that our political system simply isn’t doing its job.

Once again, following Thursday’s debate and its messy aftermath, the GOP establishment confidently predicts that the Donald Trump phenomenon is over. Why, he EUGENE ROBINSON picked a fight with popular Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly! He bluffed his way through the debate with rhetoric and showmanship!

His campaign organization is in turmoil!

He wouldn’t even pledge to support the eventual Republican nominee!

By any traditional measure, Trump is not a viable candidate. Yet he continues to dominate news coverage of the campaign, and thus far there is no indication that his transgressions have caused the plunge in his poll numbers that party pooh-bahs so eagerly anticipate.

As Buffalo Springfield once sang, “There’s something happening here. What it is ain’t exactly clear.” (Ask your parents, kids.)

By one early measure — an online poll for NBC News conducted by the SurveyMonkey firm — Trump maintained his big lead following the debate, with Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson vaulting into second and third place; businesswoman Carly Fiorina, who dominated the undercard debate, reportedly leapt into the middle of the pack. The numbers in the SurveyMonkey poll are less important than the trend lines: Socalled “protest candidates” are capturing voters’ imagination in a way that establishment candidates are not.

Trump, Fiorina and Carson have never held elective office; the basis of their appeal is that they are not professional politicians. Cruz has spent his time in Washington ostentatiously declining to play politics as usual, recently going so far as to call his own majority leader a liar.

At this point, it is fair to say that a significant portion of the party has lost faith in the GOP establishment. It’s also fair to say that this has little or nothing to do with where candidates stand on the issues.

Trump made his initial mark in this campaign with demagoguery about illegal immigration. But with the exception of Jeb Bush, the other GOP contenders have basically the same position: Seal off the border with Mexico, if necessary by erecting a physical barrier.

Carson has compared the Affordable Care Act to slavery. No other Republican in the race uses such over-the-top language, but they all pledge to repeal Obamacare. Cruz vehemently opposes the Iran nuclear agreement. All the Republican candidates feel the same way.

Fiorina wants to shrink bloated government. Everybody else does, too.

The irony is that the Republican field includes several candidates who, in theory, could be formidable in the general election.

Bush and Sen. Marco Rubio are both from Florida, a state the GOP basically must win to have any chance in the Electoral College.

Ohio Gov. John Kasich or Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker theoretically might be able to pry one or more of the Midwestern industrial states out of Democratic hands.

But quelling the Trump-led insurgency is already boxing the whole field into absolutist positions that will be difficult for the eventual nominee to soften. The longer chaos reigns, the less room the GOP candidate will have to maneuver.

All of this should make Hillary Clinton happy. But the Democratic Party and its likely nominee have problems of their own.

I’d much rather be playing Clinton’s hand than anybody else’s. In the RealClearPolitics polling averages, she leads her closest opponent for the nomination, Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, by 35 points — and beats every one of her potential GOP opponents in hypothetical head-to-head match-ups.

However, her favorability has been going down, according to polls. Another is that while Sanders has made few discernible inroads with key parts of the Democratic Party coalition he is within striking distance of Clinton in the first two caucus and primary states, Iowa and New Hampshire.

Sanders is drawing big, passionate crowds, and I believe one reason is that he, too, is kind of an anti-politician.

Significant numbers of voters seem to be demanding authenticity, passion and rough edges from a nominating process designed to produce none of the above. To state the obvious, this could be a wild and unpredictable ride.

Seattle City Council votes to adopt ‘gun violence tax’

By Gene Johnson Associated Press

SEATTLE — Seattle’s City Council unanimously approved a new tax on the sale of firearms and ammunition Monday — a measure designed to help offset the financial toll of gun violence. But opponents quickly promised a legal challenge.

The council adopted the tax — patterned after a similar measure in Cook County, Illinois — on an 8-0 vote. The tax amounts to $25 for each firearm sold in the city, plus 5 cents per round for nearly every type

of ammunition. The revenue would be used for gun safety research and gun violence prevention programs.

The council also unanimously passed a companion measure to require mandatory reporting of lost or stolen firearms. Mayor Ed Murray said he supports both efforts.

“City government can and must pursue innovative gun safety measures that save lives and save money,” Council President Tim Burgess said. “As it has in other areas of policy, Seattle can lead the way in local solutions.”

But gun-rights activists promised to sue on the grounds that the city doesn’t have the authority to impose the measures.

Washington state prohibits local governments from adopting laws related to firearms unless those local ordinances are specifically authorized by state law. City Attorney Pete Holmes said Monday that the tax measure is allowed by the city’s taxing authority — a proposition disputed by Alan Gottlieb, co-founder of the Bellevuebased Second Amendment Foundation. He noted that in 2010, Seattle dropped a

rule banning guns in parks after opponents sued on the grounds that the local measure was pre-empted by state law.

“The courts aren’t going to buy it,” he said. “This is not authorized by state law, and therefore it’s not going to hold up.”

Gun safety advocates have struggled with how to deal with what they describe as an epidemic of shootings in the U.S. — and the failure of Congress to address it. The Seattle-based Center for Gun Responsibility welcomed the council’s votes, with executive director Renee

Hopkins saying they show “what is possible when smart gun laws are given a fair hearing by our elected leaders.”

Between 2006 and 2010, there were on average 131 firearms deaths a year in King County, according to Public Health-Seattle and King County. An additional 536 people required hospitalization for shooting injuries during that time.

According to Burgess, the direct medical costs of treating 253 gunshot victims at Harborview Medical Center in 2014 totaled more than $17 million. Taxpayers paid more

than $12 million of that.

City officials estimate that the new tax would bring in $300,000 to $500,000 a year, but gun shop owners told council members those numbers are inflated and that the law would cost them customers and sales.

Sergey Solyanik, owner of a Seattle gun shop called Precise Shooter, told the council the tax would simply prompt customers to travel to nearby cities to buy guns.

“The only real purpose of this legislation is to run gun stores out of Seattle,” he said.

Drones getting in the way of emergency responders weather helping >> Cooler crews battle Lewis

By Elliot Spagat Associated Press

SAN DIEGO — As Jason Thrasher lowered his helicopter to a park with seven firefighters aboard, he saw what he thought was another firefighting chopper battling a blaze that was threatening homes.

The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection pilot suddenly identified the object as a four-rotor drone only 10 feet from his windshield, forcing him to make a hard left to avoid a collision about 500 feet above ground, according to a report he filed the next day.

“If that drone came through my windshield, I have no idea what could have happened,” Thrasher said in a phone interview.

“If that drone hits my tail rotor, for sure it’s going to be catastrophic.”

The near-miss last September in Nevada City, about 60 miles northeast of Sacramento, explains why drones have quickly become a serious nuisance and concern for firefighting pilots and other first responders, fueling calls for more oversight and selfpolicing in the skies.

The U.S. Forest Service has tallied 13 wildfires in which suspected drones interfered with firefighting aircraft this year — 11 since late June — up from four fires last year and only scattered incidents before. Last month, the sighting of five drones in a wildfire that closed I-15 in Southern California and destroyed numerous vehicles grounded crews for 20

minutes as flames spread.

Firefighting agencies have introduced public service announcements to warn drone hobbyists, while lawmakers are seeking stiffer penalties for interfering.

“When you can’t support firefighters on the ground, fires get bigger,” said Ken Pimlott, director of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. “It’s significant, and it’s a huge issue.”

On Aug. 2, for the second time in three days, a commercial pilot reported a drone while approaching John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York.

On Sunday, four commercial flights between 2,000 and 3,000 feet in the air spotted a drone while prepping for landing at Newark Liberty International Airport. On Tuesday, as flames engulfed a Vietnamese restaurant in San Diego, the local fire department pleaded with drone operators to leave the area, tweeting, “You are interfering with fire operations.”

A simple explanation for the growing number of encounters is that consumer drones are more common as prices fall.

The Consumer Electronics Association predicts U.S. sales will reach 700,000 this year, up from 430,000 last year and 128,000 in 2013.

The industry group estimates this year’s average sale price at $149, down

from $160 last year and $349 in 2013.

Twenty members of Congress from California asked the Federal Aviation Administration last month to consider a requirement for drone makers to include technology that aims to prevent operators from interfering with first responders. One bill in the California Legislature would raise fines and introduce jail time for anyone who impedes firefighters, and another would grant immunity to first responders who destroy interfering drones.

Greg McNeal, a Pepperdine University law professor, likens worries about safety and ethical boundaries to concerns years ago about use of camera-enabled cellphones in locker rooms and other public places. Governments are wrestling with how to regulate a new consumer technology that can wreak havoc when misused.

Most operators who flew near wildfires were probably unaware of the dangers, said McNeal. Others are “straight reckless,” he said,

Flames rise from a fire over a cluster of homes in Oak Hills, California, on July 17.

The U.S. Forest Service reports potential drone sightings this year in eight wildfires in California, two in Washington and one each in Colorado, Minnesota and Utah: A plane dropping retardant on a fire near San Bernardino, California, came within about 500 feet of a drone June 24. Another pilot soon came within the same distance of a second drone, forcing the grounding of four firefighting aircraft for 2½ hours.

Under FAA guidelines, drone hobbyists should fly no higher than 400 feet, stay clear of stadiums and people, and avoid flying within five miles of airports. During wildfires and other emergencies, the FAA imposes temporary restrictions.

Software, including a product from Pepperdine’s McNeal named AirMap, can alert operators to FAArestricted areas. But, some firefighting officials say, wildfires spread so quickly and unpredictably that there may be a dangerous lag before flight restrictions are in place.

Grizzlies may be killed if tied to fatal Yellowstone attack

By Matthew Brown Associated Press

BILLINGS, Mont. — Two grizzly bears captured close to where a seasonal employee of Yellowstone National Park was killed could be euthanized if DNA tests determine they attacked the man, authorities said Monday.

Lance Crosby, 63, who worked as a nurse in the park’s medical clinics, was hiking alone and without bear spray when he was killed, according to park officials. His body was discovered Friday by a park ranger about a half-mile from the nearest developed trail, hidden by the animals beneath pine needles and dirt.

Crosby, of Billings,

supervisor seated next to the pilot, saw the drone land about three miles from the fire perimeter and get loaded into a grey or black SUV, whose driver sped away.

“The intelligence gathering stopped, and now our focus was on the drone,” said McCabe.

The sighting occurred as water- and retardantdropping aircraft were scheduled to stop for the day. If it was earlier, McCabe said those planes and helicopters would have been grounded.

A drone appeared about 200 feet from the left wing of a reconnaissance aircraft near Milford, California, on June 29. The firefighter pilot, who was

Montana, was an experienced hiker and his wounds indicated he tried to fight back, officials said.

But authorities advise visitors to carry mace-like bear spray and travel in groups.

Biologists set up a trap that snared an adult female bear at the scene that night.

A cub was captured Monday, and biologists hoped to trap another cub after a camera recorded an image of two cubs in the area, Yellowstone spokeswoman Amy Bartlett said.

Park Superintendent Dan Wenk said the adult bear would be killed for public safety if DNA samples show it was involved in Crosby’s death. The cubs first would be offered to a zoo or rehabilitation center,

“Committed to providing Seniors and their families comfortable, compassionate living and rehabilitation options.”

but such placements are difficult and the animals likely would be killed if no permanent home is found, Bartlett said.

Crosby was the sixth person killed by grizzlies since 2010 in the greater Yellowstone area, which has an estimated 750 of the animals and includes the park and surrounding portions of Montana, Idaho and Wyoming.

Bears involved in fatal attacks are not always killed. That was the case in the 2011 death of a California tourist who ran, screaming, from an adult female grizzly with two cubs. Park officials determined the victim’s actions helped trigger the attack and let the bears remain in the wild.

Besides work and beer, Rinehardt carves out time to play with his two boys, Gavin, 10, and Justin, 7, and “Everquest 2,” a multi-player online video game. On Saturday, Rinehardt will be pouring beer at the Everett Craft Beer Fest. It’s the first year he’s been invited.

What are you looking forward to most about the ECBF? Serving beer among the many great brewers in the area, who have now become peers. We have held a great respect for the work that they’ve done over the years, and we’re excited to finally be a part of it.

What beer (besides ITS) is in your fridge right now?

My wife has some Angry Orchard cider, and there are a couple of bottles of unlabeled beer from our homebrew club, Stillymashers. Just like the cobbler and his (shoe-less) kids, the brewer never has beer. We make so little that it ends up being spoken for before we can get any.

If you could have a beer with anyone in history who would it be?

My wife says, Jesus. She’s a big fan of his, and would love to chat with him for a bit. He can have wine, if he really wants to.

Besides brewer, what’s your dream job?

I’d love to be paid to travel the world as a professional beer taster.

If you could brew a beer with any brewer in the world who would it be?

Dick Cantwell. From what we know, he stood for craft beer, didn’t want to be bought out, was betrayed by his financial backers and stepped away when things went against what he stood for.

He worked hard to get where he was, and I’d love to gain some of his insight.

Hundreds of snow globes line the shelves of Dennis Wunsch’s office at Scotsman Guide Media in Bothell. Wunsch’s friends often bring him snow globes they pick up on vacations around the world.

Knee deep in

SNOW GLOBES

I

t’s not unusual to see a snow globe or two on a desk at work.

Shaking these glitzy-kitschy souvenirs helps people de-stress or relive vacation moments.

But hundreds of snow globes?

What’s up with that?

Dennis Wunsch has about 300. His Bothell office is a globe fest of miniature dioramas. Snowmen. Sea creatures.

Skylines. Elvis. A bowler who dropped a ball on his foot.

Wunsch is the creative director of Scotsman Guide, a magazine that has nothing to do with Scotland or men in kilts or anything Scottish (what’s up with that?!). It’s a resource for mortgage originators. Mortgage lending isn’t sexy, but this guide is flashy with punchy illustrations.

Maybe it’s the mojo of the snow globes.

The office is tucked away in the Canyon Park Business Center maze of look-alike buildings off Bothell-Everett Highway.

Wunsch’s snow globe kingdom is only seen by co-workers and their furry friends.

This media company lets employees bring their dogs to work. That’s the biggest threat to the globes.

“Their tails have knocked them off,” said Wunsch, a dog owner and pet rescue foster parent.

It doesn’t happen often.

The dogs here are well-trained and behaved. So, too, are the workers.

Wunsch adds some whimsy to the workplace. Here’s this tall, soft-spoken seemingly normal enough 56-year-old man who creates fine art while surrounded by plastic bric-a-brac.

“He makes it fun because it’s a really quiet office. It gives it character,” co-worker Heather Neumann said. “When I first started here and I saw Dennis’ office I thought it would be my kids’ dream to come here and shake them all at once and see how many they could get to stay going.”

Since the 1980s, Dennis Wunsch has amassed a collection of hundreds of snow globes which he keeps at his office at Scotsman Guide Media in Bothell.

WHAT’S UP WITH THAT

BY ANDREA BROWN More: www.heraldnet.com/ whatsup.

Ideas? abrown@heraldnet.com, 425-339-3443 If there were 300 globes at my fingertips, that’s what I would do, shake snow and glitter all day. We’d never get a newspaper out.

Wunsch denies playing with them.

Still, a snow globe crept onto a page in 2011. “I try to put more snow domes in, but this is the only one that made the cut,” he said of an illustration for a story about the underwater housing market.

Snow globes got started when someone stuck a little Eiffel Tower in a glass globe in the late 1800s, eventually leading to a cheesy souvenir explosion.

About anything goes inside a snow globe these days. Ben Franklin. Naked women. Sasquatch. Bowlers.

Wunsch started collecting them in the late 1980s while tagging along with his wife on junkets for mid-century modern furniture. “I needed something to go look for,” he said.

Snow globes hit the spot. “It seemed a little strange and fun.”

You know how it is when you start collecting something, be it rocks, stamps, spoons, tattoos, bobbleheads or Pez. “Once you start getting a few, well, then you got 25. And that’s not enough. It started dominoing,” Wunsch said.

The frenzy was abetted by friends and family who get him globes on travels.

Heck, I was suddenly struck with the urge to bring him one, so there’d be a little piece of me on the shelf. Crazy.

Wunsch’s globes have traveled to three states and seven offices with him. “It took three people to package them and wrap them

up,” he said. “You know you have good friends when they sit around and pack snow globes.”

We’re talking about filling a dozen moving boxes.

Wunsch says he has it under control.

“There are people way crazier than I am about their snow domes,” he said. “I’ve gone to my 12-step program. I’ve cut back.”

The TSA likely has an impressive collection. According to

Comics, 2

the TSA site for carry-ons, snow globes must contain less than 3.4 ounces (tennis ball size) and the entire globe, including the base, has to fit in the same clear, plastic, quart-sized bag as the passenger’s other liquids, such as shampoo and cosmetics.

Would you give up your toiletries for a snow globe?

Guilty conscience dogs granddaughter

DAILY CROSSWORD

Adapted from a recent online discussion.

Dear Carolyn: My ailing-for-several-years grandmother has just been admitted to the hospital with what sounds like a serious health problem, and I leave on a European trip tomorrow afternoon. Am I a bad grandchild for not even considering a postponement? I saw her a few weeks ago, and she barely seems to know who I am anymore.

— Bad Grandchild?

THIS IS YOUR CONSCIENCE !!!!!

Sorry, I can neither take you off this hook nor put you on it.

You want to go to Europe but are afraid others will judge you for it, right? So, who are they, and do you care what they think?

If you do care, then have you talked to them? Not with “Absolve me in advance of my guilt, please” but with “I’m thinking of doing this, because I’ve made my peace, but I’m concerned that you will want me around if Grandma takes a turn for the worse.”

This is a tricky line to walk, but I’m suggesting it because I, for one, would want my relative to go on the trip, and I would hate the idea that someone postponed based on an assumption about what I wanted instead of just asking me

CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT how I felt.

Where I don’t suggest walking this line is when you know your family will freak out at your choosing the trip. In that case, you skip the fact-finding and just decide based on what you can live with.

Of course, either way, this is about figuring out what you can live with, but often that calculation includes what other people need or want from you and how obligated you feel to provide it.

Dear Carolyn: My good friend is expecting her first child. I offered to throw a baby shower for her, and she responded that she would really appreciate that. She sent me the guest list of about 30 women, mostly her family and coworkers with a few mutual friends, and she also made some simple requests: no games, no

Explain to her that you respect her no-gifts position, but that it kind of defeats the shower purpose — then ask how she feels about trying a different twist, like a children’s book shower? Or, a shower where the gifts will be donated to new moms at a nearby shelter?

For what it’s worth, I don’t see anything wrong with a luncheon that just celebrates her. Pretend it’s a birthday! A lot of shower hosts are opting for gift-displays anyway over the tedious public unwrap. (c) 2015, Washington Post Writers Group

cutesy invitations and no gifts.

I totally understand the first two, but the whole no-gifts things baffles me. It’s a baby shower, not a 50th birthday party. Now I feel uncomfortable inviting 25 women I don’t know into my home for lunch with no idea of how to entertain them and no actual purpose for the gathering.

Would it be totally out of line for me to tell my friend: How about instead I take you and a few of our friends out for a nice dinner as a celebration of you and the new baby? Or is it too late, and I just have to suck it up and deal with the uncomfortable, boring “luncheon” this has now turned into?

Yoga queen’s photos showing some skin Dear Abby: A family member has recently lost more than 100 pounds running and doing yoga.

She looks fantastic. Yoga is the focus of her life now, and she posts daily photos of herself on social media. In many of them she is scantily clad and in poses some might consider risque.

Whenever she attends family gatherings or outings to public places, she wants to take pictures of herself in various poses.

This makes some of the people she’s with uncomfortable. She says she doesn’t care what others think, but there have been quite a few negative comments about this, and people have “unfollowed” her on social media. Others think it’s OK for her to do her thing. What is your opinion on this? — Gagging In Georgia Dear Gagging: Your relative deserves praise for having adopted a healthier lifestyle. However, because she doesn’t care what others think, any family member who finds her pictures too risque for their comfort should quit following her on social media.

Dear Abby: My daughter, “Kelly,” and I are arguing over whether she should take her trophies with her when she moves out on her own. I feel that when kids move out, they should take all their belongings. Kelly thinks I should keep the 10 to 15 trophies she won in beauty pageants when she was younger.

I’d like to turn her bedroom into a guest room where visiting relatives can stay. I suggested she pack the trophies up and store them in her attic so she can show her children her accomplishments one RIP HAYWIRE

Dear Abby: A friend of mine and I have exchanged birthday cards for many years. Several years ago, she started sending me two cards each year — one on my birthday and another five or six months later.

After a couple more years passed, the “second date” became the only card she sent.

I know I should have said something, but I didn’t want to embarrass her. This year on my “birthday” she even called to wish me a happy one.

Is there anything I can do now? My REAL birthday is coming up soon, and I feel bad that I didn’t nip this in the bud in the beginning. — One At A Time In Washington Dear One: Oh, for Pete’s sake!

“How so?”

Superman will be felt but he won’t be seen on ‘Supergirl’

Aniston’s secret wedding officiated by Kimmel

The producers of “Supergirl” says Melissa Benoist was the first actress they saw for the role of Kara Zor-El, the caped cousin of Superman.

Executive producer Greg Berlanti describes her portrayal as “the most evocative since Christopher Reeves,” who played Superman. The series premieres Oct. 26.

Superman’s presence will be felt in “Supergirl,” but he won’t be seen.

“He will be a back-burnered life,” said Geoff Johns, DC Comics chief creative officer.

“You won’t see him exactly on screen. You will see him in the background, but he does play a part in her evolution of becoming a superhero.”

The idea of a crossover among characters from Greg Berlanti’s other superhero CW shows, “Arrow,” “The Flash” and

Howard Stern has revealed details about the secret wedding between Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux, including that Jimmy Kimmel officiated.

Stern was a guest at the Los Angeles ceremony last Wednesday that Aniston and Theroux disguised as a birthday bash for Theroux. Stern said on his radio show Monday that he knew beforehand that it was a wedding because the couple asked him to give a speech.

But Stern said the affair was extremely secretive and that guests had to hand over their phones. He said Kimmel did “a beautiful job” officiating, and that Sia performed.

Other guests, he said, included Ellen DeGeneres, Whitney Cummings and

HOROSCOPE Happy Birthday: A creative approach to the way you handle your personal affairs will help you stay on top. Exploring new possibilities and expanding your knowledge should be your target. Do whatever it takes to stabilize your personal life and domestic situation. Your numbers are 1, 6, 18, 24, 29, 33, 42.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t let your emotions take over. Taking charge by altering your living arrangements will alleviate the problems you face. Deal with matters diplomatically and refuse to let anyone pressure or take advantage of you. ★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Evaluate your situation. Get together with someone you trust or who can shed some light on it. Now is not the time to take action, but it is the time to assess, strategize and calculate any risks you face. ★★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): People from your past will surface. Don’t be too eager to help someone who has taken advantage of you in the past. Focus on new friendships, but be cautious of a colleague who is being too friendly or prying into your personal affairs. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Try to be understanding if someone backs out of a deal or changes his mind at the last minute. Use your imagination and you will come up with an alternative that will turn out to be more beneficial and self-satisfying. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your attitude and opinions are changing. A new direction will be a refreshing change. Be open to options you have never considered in the past. Good fortune will come if you adapt to what’s going on around you. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Renewed friendships will spark your curiosity. Don’t be too quick to share your personal thoughts.

and consider how much you still have in common with old friends, or whether those friendships are best left alone. Expand your friendships, but choose them wisely. ★★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Keep your thoughts to yourself. Your emotions will take over if you get into a discussion at work, putting you in a vulnerable position. Keep your distance, do your job and strive to reach your goals. Focus on self-improvement, not on changing others. ★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your knowledge and interest in what everyone is doing and how they do it will help you get ahead. Rely on your own know-how and integrity. Refuse to be overshadowed by someone offering the impossible. Speak up. ★★★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You will end up in a situation that will require diplomacy and the ability to take action and stick to what you believe. Don’t be too concerned with what others do. Follow what works best for you. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): It’s time to take over and pursue your goals. Speak up and lay out your plans for others to view. Take on a professional challenge that can bring you high returns financially. Opportunity knocks and you must be prepared to take action. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You are overdue for a change. Don’t sit back when you feel the urge to get up and go. Make personal changes that will align you with the group or industry that you feel you can make the most progress with. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Getting along with colleagues, partners or your lover will help stabilize important relationships. Accommodating others now will put you in a good position when faced with a problem. Look beyond the moment and refuse to let the past interfere with future plans. ★★★★★ Universal Uclick

His 2-under-par total of 142 placed him second and gave him one of three available spots from that qualifier into this year’s U.S. Amateur, Aug. 17-23 at Olympia Fields Country Club in Olympia Fields, Ill. The tournament, which opens with 36 holes of stroke play over two days, has a field of 312 golfers from 20 countries. The field will be cut to 64 after the second day, with those players moving on to five days of match play.

ILL CREEK — Earlier in the summer, Kyle Cornett missed out on a chance to play in the United States Open, perhaps the most prestigious golf tournament in the world.

But as a timely consolation prize, Cornett will tee off Monday in the United States Amateur, which is undoubtedly the top amateur golf event in the world.

The 20-year-old Cornett, a 2013 graduate of Jackson High School and a member of the Seattle University golf team, had rounds of 70 and 72 in a July 13

John Cook, Mark O’Meara, Hal Sutton, Billy Mayfair, Phil Mickelson, Justin Leonard, Tiger Woods, Matt Kuchar and Puyallup product Ryan Moore.

Given the U.S. Amateur’s distinguished history, not to mention the stakes — among other rewards, the winner receives automatic entry into next year’s Masters, U.S. Open and British Open — Cornett expects to be nervous prior to his first tee shot.

“It is the biggest (amateur) tournament, so it’s not like every other tournament,” explained Cornett, who advanced through See CORNETT, Page C6

Jones lead Orioles to 3-2 win over Mariners

Ex-Husky WR Williams takes advantage of his opportunities with Hawks

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

By Gregg Bell The News Tribune

RENTON — The fuel for Kasen Williams’ latest, potentially greatest leap comes from his most fateful one.

On Oct. 26, 2013, a cool Saturday night inside Husky Stadium in Seattle, Williams jumped high trying to catch a long pass from Keith Price near their University of Washington bench. As the physical, gifted wide receiver landed on the synthetic grass, his left leg buckled. Then the California cornerback that was defending on the play landed on Williams’ lower leg.

The 2010 Parade magazine national high school player from Skyline in the Seattle suburbs broke the fibula in his lower leg. He also sustained a ligament and bone displacement in his foot. He needed surgeries to set the leg and insert pins in his foot. His junior season at UW was ruined, so was much of his senior year and, thus, his shot of an NFL team drafting him.

Cincinnati signed him in May as an undrafted free agent, but its doctors got scared off by the pins in his foot.

SEATTLE — Adam Jones. For the Seattle Mariners, he will always be the mistake that keeps on haunting.

You know the story. Jones was the Mariners’ firstround pick in 2003 and viewed as a likely franchise cornerstone for years to come — until a Feb. 8, 2008 trade sent him to Baltimore.

TONIGHT’S GAME Jones became Baltimore at Seattle, 7:10 p.m. everything the Mariners once envi- TV: ROOT (cable) Radio: ESPN (710 AM) sioned, except in a different uniform. A five-time All-Star. And they got to see it up close again Monday night in a 3-2 loss to the Baltimore Orioles at Safeco Field.

It wasn’t just Jones.

The Mariners stacked their lineup with right-handers against Orioles lefty Wei-Yin Chen and came up empty See MARINERS, Page C2

AquaSox beat Canadians 4-2 Herald Staff VANCOUVER — The Everett AquaSox rallied to score two runs in the top of the ninth inning and beat the Vancouver Canadians 4-2 in a Northwest League baseball game Monday night at Nat Bailey Stadium.

The AquaSox’s Ryan Uhl tied the score at 2-2 in the eighth inning with his third home run of the season. Uhl was 2-for-3 with a run and and an RBI. A two-out RBI single by the AquaSox’s Arturo Nieto with two outs in the ninth broke the tie and another run scored on a throwing error.

AquaSox shortstop Drew Jackson had three hits in four at bats, raising his average to leagueleading .392.

In addition to Uhl, Braden Bishop and Nieto had two hits for the AquaSox. Everett’s Joseph Pistorese, the third pitcher the AquaSox used in the game, pitched two hitless shutout innings, striking out two as he lowered his earned run average to 1.93 and improved his record to 5-0.

Mariners will keep an eye on Walker, Montgomery

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

SEATTLE — Nearly eight weeks remain in the regular season, but Seattle Mariners right-hander Taijuan Walker might be approaching the finish line as he heads into Tuesday’s start against the Baltimore Orioles.

Walker, who turns 23 on Thursday, is nearing a careerhigh in innings, which will put him under increased scrutiny in coming weeks.

Even now, manager Lloyd McClendon admits he’s “not comfortable” that Walker can continue to pitch every fifth game through the end of the season.

“My responsibility to Taijuan Walker and to this organization,” McClendon said, “is make sure our pitchers are as healthy as we possibly can.

Being mindful of his innings is part of that process.”

McClendon said lefty Mike Montgomery, while older at 26, must also be watched over the closing weeks. Some clubs are less rigid in setting innings limits on pitchers who are 25 or older.

Mariners From Page C1

beyond Franklin Gutierrez’s leadoff homer in the second inning.

Chen (6-6) gave up just two other hits in his 71⁄3 innings before Zach Britton recorded the final five outs for his 28th save. Britton gave up one run in the ninth but is perfect in his last 24 save opportunities.

But Jones was in the middle of things. His two-out homer in the first inning opened the scoring, and his one-out double in the fourth led to the go-ahead run after Gutierrez’s game-tying homer.

Mariners lefty Vidal Nuno, in his second spot start, gave up two runs in five innings pretty much because he couldn’t solve Jones.

Mayckol Guaipe retired Jones on a grounder to short to start the sixth — and then served up a first-pitch homer to Chris Davis, a 418-foot howitzer shell

“It’s not like he’s 36,” McClendon said. “If we think this kid has the ability to pitch in this league for the next 10 years, at 25 or 26, what’s the difference?”

Walker heads into Tuesday’s start at 8-7 with a 4.67 ERA through 129 innings over 22 starts. He has never exceeded 1411⁄3 innings in five previous professional seasons since his selection in the 2010 draft.

He logged 139 innings a year ago, including time in the Arizona Fall League.

“Stress has a lot to do with it,” McClendon said, “and, obviously, the innings at this level are a lot more stressful than the ones at Double-A and Triple-A. “But I think, as a general rule of thumb, you look at 25-to-30, sometimes 35, more innings than the year before (as an acceptable maximum).”

That puts Walker’s maximum workload at roughly 175 innings. Counting Tuesday, that projects to another seven or eight starts. He would reach his maximum with about two weeks left in the season.

Montgomery is at 1331⁄3 innings, counting his time earlier this season at Triple-A Tacoma. That already exceeds

his totals from the two previous seasons: 126 innings a year ago and 1311⁄3 innings in 2013.

While Montgomery did work roughly 150 innings in 2012 (1492⁄3) and 2011 (1502⁄3), clubs generally look at the two previous years in determining an acceptable workload.

One consequence of the mounting innings for Walker and Montgomery is lefty swingman Vidal Nuno, who started Monday, could get an extended look in the rotation.

“Right now, he’s still in the rotation,” McClendon hedged.

“Five days from now, as we speak, he’ll still be in the rotation.”

Nuno, 28, was at 96 innings prior to Monday’s start, including his time this season in the minors. A year ago, he pitched 1611⁄3 innings in 31 games, including 28 starts, for Arizona and the New York Yankees.

McClendon also reiterated left-hander Roenis Elias has to pitch better at Tacoma in order to reclaim a spot in the bigleague rotation.

Elias, 27, is still 30 innings shy of his 2014 total, which should position him, roughly, for 10 more starts. But he has an 8.02 ERA in seven starts for the

to center.

The Orioles led 3-1.

That was it.

Point to note: Right-hander Chris Tillman accompanied Jones to Baltimore in that trade for veteran pitcher Erik Bedard.

Tillman was a second-round pick in 2006 and has developed into a reliable workhorse. He 46-23 over the last four years and is 6-0 with a 2.09 ERA in seven career starts against the Mariners.

The haunting never seems to end.

Jones crushed a 1-1 slider from Nuno (0-1) for a 413-foot homer to center with two outs in the first inning. That was after Nuno won a 13-pitch battle against Gerardo Parra that included 10 foul balls.

Kyle Seager’s one-out double, off the top of the right-field wall, providing the Mariners with a quick chance to answer, but Chen retired Nelson Cruz on a fly to deep right and Robinson Cano on a grounder to second.

While Seager just missed a

homer, Gutierrez led off the second with the high drive to left the clawed its way over the wall for a game-tying blast.

Nuno retired eight in a row after Jones’ homer before yielding a one-out double, to Jones, in the fourth inning. Davis followed with an RBI single through the right side, and Baltimore led 2-1.

Davis moved to second on Matt Wieters’ single to center, but Nuno retired the next two batters.

Cruz opened the Mariners’ fourth with a single through the right side, which extended his hitting streak to a career-high 20 games. It came to nothing; Chen retired the next three batters.

Cruz saved a run in the Orioles’ fifth after Manny Machado’s two-out double into the left-center. Parra then hit a liner to right, but Cruz retreated and made a leaping catch.

But Cruz’s streak of extrabase hits ended at nine games — one shy of Ken Griffey Jr.’s 1993 club record.

Nelson Cruz, Robinson Cano and Felix Hernandez each drew acclaim in Baseball America’s annual survey of major-league managers to determine the “best tools” in each league.

Hernandez’s changeup ranked No. 1 among American League pitchers, but he did not place in the top three for best pitcher. The survey cited Chicago’s Chris Sale, Houston’s Dallas Keuchel and Tampa Bay’s Chris Archer.

Cruz ranked second for best power behind Los Angeles outfielder Mike Trout, and Cano rated as the secondbest defensive second baseman behind Boston’s Dustin Pedroia.

The survey’s three best AL hitters: Detroit first baseman Miguel Cabrera, Trout and Texas designated hitter Prince Fielder.

Arizona first baseman Paul Goldschmidt rated as the National League’s best hitter, and Los Angeles right-hander Zack Greinke as the NL’s best pitcher.

Furbush update Lefty reliever Charlie Furbush threw 40 pitches “with better velocity” in a bullpen workout as the latest test in his recovery from biceps tendinitis, which surfaced after a July 7 appearance against Detroit.

No word yet from club officials if Furbush is now ready to head to the minors on a rehab assignment. When judged ready, Furbush is expected to make just one or two rehab appearances before returning to active duty.

Furbush was 1-1 with a 2.08 ERA in 33 games prior to his injury. He had also stranded all 16 of his inherited runners.

Short hops Nelson Cruz extended his hitting streak to 20 games in Monday’s game. It is the longest active streak in the majors and set a career high.

He had a 19-game run in 2010 while playing for Texas. ... Cruz also had a streak of nine straight games with an extra-base hits. The franchise record is 10 by Ken Griffey Jr., in 1993. No player has had a 10-game streak since Justin Upton in 2011 for Arizona. ... Robinson Cano entered Monday with 29 career homers against the Orioles. Only two active players have more: Alex Rodriguez (65) and David Ortiz (46). ... Three Mariners, prior to Monday, ranked among the majorleague leaders in runs scored since July 1: Kyle Seager and Cruz were tied for fifth with 25. Cano was tied for ninth with 24.

Minor awards Short-A Everett players swept the weekly awards for Aug. 3-9 in the Northwest League when shortstop Drew Jackson was picked as the player of the week, and left-hander Nick Wells was picked as the pitcher of the week.

Jackson, 22, won the award for the second time in three weeks. He carried a 15-game hitting streak into Monday’s game. He is batting .382 in 37 games with 46 runs, two homers and 17 RBI. Bob Dutton, The News Tribune

Improving Bailey moves past Shead Browns Pro Bowl tackle Thomas injures leg

As Chancellor’s holdout continues, the battle to be the No. 1 strong safety heats up.

By Gregg Bell The News Tribune

RENTON — From injured, late-to-begin and forgotten at the start of training camp, to the No. 1 strong safety inside the middle of the league’s topranked defense.

It’s been a decent week to be Dion Bailey.

The Seattle Seahawks 2014 undrafted free agent from USC moved past DeShawn Shead as the fill-in for holdout Kam Chancellor on Monday during the Seahawks’ ninth practice of training camp.

Chancellor continued to stay away. His 11-day-old holdout could now cost the team leader a maximum of $530,000 in fines, if the Seahawks choose to sanction him.

Bailey’s rise — and coach Pete Carroll gushing how no one can deny how productive he’s has been in the last few days — felt like an underline to the coach stating how the team is moving on without Chancellor. At least for now and in the foreseeable future, that is.

Bailey dived in front of backup tight end Anthony McCoy to make an impressive interception of Russell Wilson in the end zone during a red-zone scrimmage.

He may be on the first team for a while this month. That includes Friday night against Denver.

“I’ve got to take advantage of the situation,” he said on the edge of the Virginia Mason Athletic Center practice field, with the word “Faith” written on his eye black representing his spirituality over his left cheek.

He said the “greatest thing that’s helping me right now” is having played linebacker at USC. That has him very comfortable and familiar in the run fits of Seattle’s gap defense, and with the trafficcop aspects of playing safety and getting every teammate in the right spot from the center of the field just before the snap.

“Rolling down on the run is not a big deal to him. That’s why they had him do that,” Carroll

Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch (left) talks with linebackers coach Michael Barrow (center) and linebacker Bruce Irvin during a training-camp practice in Renton on Monday.

said of his successors as USC on Lane Kiffin’s staff playing Bailey at linebacker. “But his pass defense has really shown up, though. He’s done very well.”

Extra work — and changes Wilson threw late on a “hot” blitz read to Jimmy Graham over the middle near the goal line.

The new tight end wasn’t ready for the pass, so it went through his hands to the turf incomplete.

By unofficial count Graham has dropped just three passes in nine practices.

After Monday, the two stayed 10 minutes and worked that same route from the same spot outside the goal line. Carroll said they have a ways to go on being completely in synch on all aspects of passes and routes, including the improvisational ones that are such a big part of Wilson’s game. Carroll isn’t concerned Wilson and Graham won’t get meshed, just that it takes time. It’s only August 10. n Drew Nowak was the firstteam center and Keavon Milton was the starting left guard Monday. Their surges seems to be Carroll’s “always-compete” mantra spiking just in time for

the exhibition games to begin.

Offensive line coach Tom Cable basically said as much with this description of the changes.

“We are just creating as much competition as we can,” he said.

The coaches like how Nowak doesn’t get moved back after the snap, and his knowledge of the overall line play.

Jeanpierre has the experience edge having been Max Unger’s backup for five seasons and as a part-time, fill-in starter for him. n Kevin Pierre-Louis again got many plays with the first team at outside linebacker. Carroll said the fourth-round draft choice from Boston College last year, who had his rookie season cut short after seven games by a shoulder injury, was the biggest standout upon the coaches’ review of Saturday’s scrimmage.

Expect to see plenty of No. 58 in blue early in Friday’s exhibition game. n Tharold Simon had an ice pack on his right knee, apparently a result of his conditioning work as he continues to rehabilitate from offseason shoulder surgery. Meanwhile, last week’s trade acquisition from Detroit

Mohammed Seisay and converting-from-wide-receiver Douglas McNeil continue to make positive impressions at backup cornerback. Carroll said Simon may be back in two weeks. n Jesse Williams was in the team scrimmage at defensive tackle, the most extensive work since the third-year man had surgery just over two months ago to remove his cancerous kidney. n Earl Thomas watched practice again wearing a team cap, with his cleats slung over his shoulders — including the one he had surgically repaired Feb. 24. Carroll said Saturday that even though the All-Pro free safety is now off the physicallyunable-to-perform list Thomas is unlikely to practice fully for at least a couple more weeks. Steven Terrell again was the No. 1 free safety for Thomas. n Outside linebacker Bruce Irvin said he added 18 pounds to get stronger against blockers.

Carroll said Irvin is having his best camp since he entered the league as Seattle’s first-round draft choice in 2012, and that he’s now stronger yet still as fast as he’s been. Carroll keeps raving about Irvin.

Panthers QB Newton involved in scuffle at training camp Associated Press SPARTANBURG, S.C. — Emotions boiled over and got the best of Panthers quarterback Cam Newton at practice on Monday culminating in a heated scuffle.

Fights are common during training camps, but rarely involve franchise quarterbacks.

Newton went at it with cornerback Josh Norman, a skirmish that ended with both players at the bottom of a pile and having

Williams From Page C1

The Bengals failed him in a physical. Williams was a free agent again, but only for a few days.

Seahawks doctors knew the surgeon who’d operated on Williams’ foot; he advised them not to worry about the pins. And Seattle’s head coach Pete Carroll had recruited Williams when he was the coach at USC a halfdozen years ago. Carroll signed him to the Seahawks on a minimum-cost, free-agent flyer on the chance Williams’ leg strength, confidence and physical dominance would return all at once.

They may have.

Monday, Williams was the star of a second consecutive trainingcamp practice. He made a diving catch of a pass from third-stringer R.J. Archer while racing behind the secondary along the goal line for one touchdown. Then he ran down a deep pass from Archer along the left sidelines, reached with his 6-foot-1 body to the ball and sprinted across the goal line for another score. Those were

to be separated by teammates.

The altercation occurred after Norman made a sliding interception against Newton, got up and began to return the ball toward the opposing end zone as defensive players are instructed to do by their coaches. Newton pursued, but coach Ron Rivera said Newton got stiff-armed by Norman along the way.

“It escalated from there,” Rivera said.

As the whistles blew signaling

only two passes he saw in scrimmage play.

Saturday, he got four targets against the starting defense in a mock “game” — and had four receptions. That tied Doug Baldwin for the team lead that day.

The first catch Saturday was Williams’ best, a sprint directly past starting cornerback Cary Williams on a go route for a 30-plus-yard play. Everyone including the team’s grounds crew noticed the 219-pound guy running like he weighed 169 pounds.

Looking back, Williams says the altering injuries “happened for a reason.”

“It brought my hunger back and my motivation back,” he said.

“It gave me back my love for the game of football.

“I’d played very well for my whole life up to that point. I was coasting.”

Not anymore. It’s obvious Williams is considering each Seahawks practice — even walkthroughs in ball caps — as a huge, potentially final opportunity.

He was one of the last Seahawks to get on the field in the offseason because he had to wait per

the end of the play, Newton sped up his pursuit of Norman and tackled him near the end zone.

The two wrestled on the ground for a few moments as some other players piled on.

Newton and Norman were eventually separated.

An irate Newton got up shouting at Norman — “hit me like that again and you’ll know something” — as he was being restrained by teammates.

After the altercation, veteran

NFL rules for his college class to graduate.

He’s been trying to make up for lost time and undrafted status with huge plays despite scant opportunities since.

“I have to,” he said of treating each practice as a game. “I don’t have a choice, because these guys have been here for OTAs and they were here last year.”

An even bigger chance comes Friday in the preseason opener against Denver. While it’s just a first preseason game on a team with all but three starting positions set, it’s the biggest game of Williams’ life. As he noted with a grin, Friday’s exhibition will be inside the same CenturyLink Field in which he had his best season at UW, in 2012. The Huskies played their home games there that year while Husky Stadium was being renovated.

Then the following Friday night at Kansas City the Seahawks’ second exhibition game will be his next biggest game. And so on, throughout August.

“Every, single day (is big),” he said. “I’m not getting many opportunities to make plays, so every one I get I have to come

linebacker and defensive leader Thomas Davis screamed at the fifth-year quarterback, “That’s stupid. That’s stupid.”

Newton recently was anointed the team’s franchise quarterback, signing a five-year, $103 million contract.

Panthers center and team captain Ryan Kalil said “I’ve seen Cam do a lot more dumb things than that” and that he doesn’t worry much about the 6-foot-5, 245-pound quarterback.

down with the ball.”

It seems like he has through nine practices of training camp.

And, yes, Carroll has noticed. He always has when it comes to big, physical wide receivers.

Seattle’s needed one for two years. It may or may not have found one in February’s Super Bowl when 6-foot-5 Chris Matthews almost became the game’s most valuable player with his first four catches and touchdown of his career. But the Seahawks could use a few more.

Such as Williams?

“He’s a tough dude,” Carroll said. “His senior year didn’t look like the senior year that people probably expected or he expected. He came back from a very, very difficult injury, and he may not have really had all of his confidence back.

“He’s battling out here. He’s a real tough, aggressive, physical type of receiver, which we love his style. So we’ll just let it keep going. You certainly can go to him. You can throw the ball to him and he’s going to make plays, you can see that.

“It’s just like the guy he was when we saw him coming out as

BEREA, Ohio — Joe Thomas screamed and crumpled to the ground in pain. In an instant, a routine morning practice for the Browns turned much more significant.

The team is awaiting further medical tests on Thomas, their ultra-durable Pro Bowl left offensive tackle who injured his right leg Monday when massive rookie nose tackle Danny Shelton inadvertently rolled up on it during an 11-on-11 drill.

Thomas, who has never missed a play in his eight-year NFL career, yelled as his leg was struck from behind by the 339-pound Shelton, a former star at the University of Washington.

Thomas limped off Joe Thomas and was examined by head trainer Joe Sheehan, who tested the stability in the lineman’s knee and looked at his calf area and ankle.

The Browns have been besieged by injuries throughout camp, but no player means more than Thomas, the first lineman in NFL history to make the Pro Bowl in each of his first eight seasons.

Thomas has played 7,917 consecutive snaps since the first start of his rookie season in 2007.

WR Smith to retire after 2015 OWINGS MILLS, Md. — Ravens wide receiver Steve Smith, one of 12 players in NFL history with 900 catches, says he will retire after this season — his 15th in the league.

The five-time Pro Bowler spent his first 13 season with Carolina. He intends to leave after the second season of a three-year contract with Baltimore. He informed his teammates before practice at training camp.

Last season, the 36-year-old caught 79 passes for 1,065 yards and six touchdowns to help the Ravens reach the second round of the playoffs.

Smith has 13,000 receiving yards and 70 touchdown receptions for his career.

Pats cut QB Flynn, sign Lindley FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Still unsure of the status of Tom Brady and with the preseason opener coming up, the New England Patriots released veteran quarterback Matt Flynn and signed Ryan Lindley to replace him as the team’s third-stringer.

Flynn signed with the Patriots on June 12, but was on the non-football injury list. He previously played with Green Bay, Seattle, Oakland and Buffalo.

Lindley was forced into a starting role for Arizona late last season and struggled. A sixth-round draft pick in 2012, he came in after Carson Palmer and Drew Stanton were injured for the Cardinals and went 45 for 93 for 562 yards with two touchdown passes and four interceptions.

a senior in high school.”

After he chose UW over Carroll’s USC, he continued to excel during games but drifted some during practices. Williams admits now he wasn’t exactly dedicated for games and practices.

Then came the gruesome injuries, the two lost seasons at UW — and a revelation that is fueling this resurgence as an undrafted rookie with a chance to make the NFC champions. If he shows he can contribute on special teams — he’s been practicing with all four punt and kickoff units — he could follow the same path Doug Baldwin and Williams’ former Huskies teammate Jermaine Kearse took to not only make the Seahawks but become their top two wide receivers within the last four years.

That’s why the exhibitions starting with Friday’s are so huge for him. He has four chances to show he’s back to being the Kasen Williams the football nation coveted out of high school.

His confidence sounds as back as his game looks.

“Yeah, I’m taking advantage of my opportunities,” Williams said.

“And there’s still more to come.”

UW freshman QB Browning not thinking about big picture

By Christian Caple The News Tribune

SEATTLE — Jake Browning graduated from Folsom High School in December, led his team to California’s Division 1 state championship later that month, enrolled as a freshman at the University of Washington in January, then participated in 15 spring practices as a quarterback for a Pac-12 football team right about the time most kids his age were planning their Senior Skip Day. Oh, and as the guy who threw more touchdown passes (229) than any other high-schooler, ever, his arrival at UW is accompanied by particularly lofty expectations — especially because coach Chris Petersen is giving him every chance to compete for the Huskies’ starting quarterback position as a true freshman.

Browning, permitted Monday to speak with reporters for the first time, greets such speculation with an attitude that seems to belie his 19 years.

“It’s cool for the fans, I get that,” Browning said after the Huskies’ third day of preseason training camp. “But I think for a quarterback coming in, you can get caught up in a lot of the big picture, like ‘here’s all these expectations, blah, blah, blah.’

You’ve got to get better day to day. If you’re reading into that, you’re not watching film or working on your craft. “... It’s Day 3. You have a good Day 3 and a bad Day

TED S. WARREN / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Washington freshman quarterback Jake Browning passes during spring practice on March 30.

4, those offset to nothing.

You’ve got to have a better day the next day. I just try not to think about the big picture and all these expectations. Just rep to rep.”

For the record, he did have a good Day 3, tossing an array of deep passes accurately, and in stride, into the hands of a few different receivers. There was a 41-yard touchdown pass to senior Jaydon Mickens during a 7-on-7 drill. And a pair of perfectly thrown deep balls to Marvin Hall and Dante Pettis during a 1-on-1 drill. And, finally, a 50-yard dime during an 11-on-11 period to

walk-on Max Richmond (though that drive eventually stalled after a series of incompletions).

This, of course, had to catch the eye of Petersen, who must eventually parse the three-man dead heat between Browning, K.J. Carta-Samuels and Jeff Lindquist and name a starter for UW’s Sept. 4 opener at Boise State.

Seemed like Browning took a step forward, yes?

“I have no idea,” Petersen said. “You guys sit up there and watch those guys. I’m watching 105. You tell me. Did he?”

Oh. Uh. Yes?

“OK,” he said. “That’s good to know. I can’t wait to put the tape on.”

Petersen has been mostly hesitant to single out the positive performances of one quarterback or another, likely because this truly is a three-man competition, one that began in spring and has yet to imply a likely conclusion.

Carta-Samuels and Lindquist have each had their moments, and, logically, it seems that Browning would have to prove himself substantially better than the other two to justify burning his redshirt. To date, that hasn’t happened, though he was the clear standout at Monday’s practice.

But one day, as Browning himself reminds, is only one day. And the three competitors must endure several more before a winner is declared.

“When you first start to think about (the competition), it’s a little bit heavy,” said Carta-Samuels, who also spoke with reporters Monday for the first time.

“But I think over time you just realize that whatever happens is going to kind of happen, and you’ve just got to roll with it and do your best, and that’s all we’re doing.”

Said Browning: “I think it definitely pushes you.

You see someone else stay a little later and say, OK, I’ll stay a little later.

I think all three of us do that. We’re all pretty competitive guys. But there’s definitely no bad blood or anything like that.”

Big shoes to fill on Cougars’ D-line

By Jacob Thorpe The Spokesman-Review

LEWISTON, Idaho — When Kalafitoni Pole and Xavier Cooper were around, it was certainly possible to win a football game against Washington State by running the ball.

But those two defensive linemen didn’t make it easy.

The Cougars ranked No. 5 in the Pac-12 last year in rushing defense and No. 8 in yards allowed per rush.

When WSU’s defense stepped up and kept the Cougars in games — beating Utah on the road, keeping it close against Oregon — it was against teams that rushed the ball frequently.

Cooper, Pole and their 59 combined collegiate starts are now in the NFL. Cooper is with the Cleveland Browns as a fourth-round draft pick and Pole is in camp with the Cincinnati Bengals as an undrafted free agent.

Replacing them will be one of WSU’s most important challenges this season as the defense tries to improve on last

year’s bleak performance.

Frankly, the Cougars don’t have any player that is likely to replace Cooper or Pole. Defensive line coach Joe Salave’a says it would be unfair to expect anybody to do it.

But Salave’a also says the Cougars won’t need any individual to play at that level, because WSU now has a group of linemen that can rotate in throughout the game and equal or exceed the production of the departed players.

“Right now we have more than just one guy, and that’s the best thing that I see,” Salave’a said.

“We’ve finally got some guys, and when I’m talking about some guys, some Pac-12-quality guys,” he continued. “That changes the dynamic. Now it’s just trying to create the combination and the competition among these guys so they can compete a little bit.”

That depth without supremacy means that a number of players could ascend to a starting role and the competition to do so will be among the fiercest of any positions at

WSU’s preseason camp in Lewiston.

The competition to replace Pole at nose guard, in many respects the single most pivotal position on the defense in terms of defending the run, will be particularly noteworthy.

Robert Barber is currently ahead of Daniel Ekuale, a smaller but more aggressive and more explosive player, but his advantage is minute and potentially fleeting.

Salave’a is reticent to sub in sub-par players merely to rest the starters, and Pole rarely came off the field. There is a thought, however, that playing sparingly while learning from an effective upperclassman, staying healthy and staying in the weight room may better prepare younger players for success down the road. “(Pole) was like a big brother to me and Robert,” Ekuale said. “He taught us a lot of technique and all the stuff he uses. We’ve just got to come out on the field and utilize that stuff.

Me and Robert are just going after it every day. All of our defensive line unit

learned from those guys who left.”

Darryl Paulo, who started three games last season, appears to be the current starter at defensive end. But Hercules Mata’afa is one of the team’s strongest players and has been one of its most impressive pass rushers since he arrived at WSU last fall.

“The young players are really good and they’re very talented,” Paulo said.

“I like the challenge they bring to the table. It keeps me on my toes and keeps me on the edge.”

That the younger players are pushing Cooper and Pole’s replacements to be more like their predecessors is good for the Cougars. That they’re able to contribute this year so Barber, Ekuale and Paulo won’t need to be as good as Cooper and Pole for the team to be successful is even better.

“Those guys are definitely going to be missed but it’s not going to be any different,” Paulo said.

“We’re going to play with the same intensity and show up every week and play our hardest.”

EWU transfer Adams still not a Duck as camp begins Associated Press EUGENE, Ore. — Oregon opened fall camp with ongoing uncertainty about who will replace Marcus Mariota as starting quarterback.

Jeff Lockie was the backup last season, but saw little playing time as Mariota led Oregon to the championship game of college football’s first playoffs. Now, Lockie is the top player in camp to succeed Mariota — at least until the anticipated arrival of former Eastern Washington star Vernon Adams.

Adams is supposed to join the Ducks as soon as

he finishes the last course he needs to graduate. The fifth-year senior can’t play for the Ducks until he’s got a diploma.

He was supposed to arrive in June, but that was pushed back. As the Ducks opened practice on Monday, Adams was still a few days away from completing a final math class. He may join the Ducks this week.

Lockie, meanwhile, was making the most of the extra time to make his case, especially when it comes to leading a team he already knows well.

“The main thing I’ve been focused on is improving myself and doing all the

natural leadership things that I can do,” he said.

In 19 career games, Lockie has completed 29 of 41 passes for 264 yards, one touchdown and one interception. In the spring game, the 6-foor-2, 205pound junior completed all nine of his passes for 223 yards and three touchdowns, leading his team to a 35-29 victory.

Adams was a two-time Big Sky Conference offensive player of the year and a two-time All-American.

He threw for 10,438 yards and 110 touchdowns in three seasons at Eastern Washington.

Two of Adams’ most

memorable games came against the Pac-12: He passed for 411 yards and four touchdowns and rushed for 107 yards and two TDs in a 2013 win at Oregon State, and he threw for 475 yards and seven touchdowns in a 59-52 loss at Washington last season.

As fall camp started, Oregon was hurt by the loss of running back Thomas Tyner, who was expected to miss the season after left shoulder surgery on Friday.

Tyner struggled with the injury last season while Royce Freeman had a breakout freshman year.

Monday’s games No games scheduled Today’s games No games scheduled

The Daily Herald Tuesday, 08.11.2015

McIlroy says he’s 100 percent Associated Press SHEBOYGAN, Wis. — Rory McIlroy says he’s 100 percent and his game appears to be in order.

He was talking about golf, not soccer.

McIlroy played another practice round Monday for the PGA Championship and declared himself ready to go at Whistling Straits.

The world’s No. 1 player injured ligaments in his left ankle the first weekend in July while playing soccer with friends in Northern Ireland.

Thursday will be his first competitive round since the U.S. Open.

“To play golf it’s 100 percent,” he said. “To go back on a soccer pitch, it wouldn’t be quite ready. But to do what I need to do this week, it’s 100 percent.”

Monday was the first official day of practice for the final major of the year, though it was interrupted throughout the afternoon as thunderstorms rumbled into the area off Lake Michigan and twice suspended play.

McIlroy got his work done in the morning. He flew in from Portugal on the weekend and played twice, and the 26-year-old from Northern Ireland said he has been playing with one ball to keep score and try to regain a competitive feel.

He said he played — and walked

— 72 holes during his time in Portugal. That’s much different — as is the injury — from when Tiger Woods played the 2008 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines with shredded ligaments in his left knee and a double stress fracture in his leg. Woods did not walk 18 holes until he teed it up that week at Torrey Pines.

“It actually feels better when I go at it as hard as I want because my left foot sort of spins out of the way whenever I hit the driver anyway,” McIlroy said. “If my left foot was to stay completely flat, like roll on to the left side like a lot of guys do, then it would obviously probably create a few problems. Because mine sort of spins out of the way, it takes a lot of pressure off it.”

McIlroy said he was putting even while he was in a boot to keep his ankle steady.

He began this year with a runner-up finish in Abu Dhabi after a seven-week break, though he conceded it was far different at a major championship.

“I think it’s just the competitiveness of feeling what it’s like to play a tournament,” he said. “It’s OK coming back to play Abu Dhabi as your first week back, but playing a major, it’s a bit different. Just that sharpness and competitive edge, that’s the thing you really hope is there when you come back.”

Spieth aims to keep rolling

By Gary D’Amato Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

HAVEN, Wis. — There’s a story that illustrates what kind of run Jordan Spieth is on and it has nothing to do with golf.

After he won the U.S. Open in June, he treated himself to a vacation in the Bahamas with friends. On the way back from a snorkeling trip, the group threw a couple fishing lines off the side of the boat.

Spieth hooked a big tuna and battled the fish for 21⁄2 hours. When he finally got it near the boat, he and his buddies were shocked at what they saw.

“What surfaced was like a 12-foot-long, 300pound blacktip shark that had eaten the tuna and then had hooked itself,” Spieth said with a grin. “So I guess I caught both in one.”

Who else goes snorkeling and winds up catching a tuna and a shark? That’s fishing’s equivalent of a double-eagle.

Spieth, 22, hates the nickname “Golden Child,” but he’s earned it. The Dallas resident goes into the 97th PGA Championship at Whistling Straits this week trying to become only the third golfer to win three majors in a calendar year. If successful, he would join Ben Hogan (1953) and Tiger Woods (2000).

Spieth won the Masters in April and the U.S. Open at Chambers Bay, then fought his way into the lead late in the final round of the British Open last month, only to finish one shot out of a playoff won by Zach Johnson.

“I recognize that there’s only been a couple times that people have won three majors in a year, and that would be just such special

company,” Spieth said last week. “But just like at The Open Championship, when I get there it’s just going to be about that tournament and that’s all that will be on my mind.

“It will be easier for that to be the only thing on my mind than it was at The Open, not thinking about three in a row, slash Grand Slam, slash whatever. It will take a little bit off my shoulders and it will be very easy for me to focus on it as a tournament.”

He is grouped with defending PGA champion Rory McIlroy and Johnson for the first two rounds. They are scheduled to tee off at 11:20 p.m. PDT on Thursday and 6:05 a.m. Friday.

Spieth has been at or near the top of the leader board nearly every time he’s teed it up this year. He leads the PGA Tour in scoring average (68.84) and earnings ($9.1 million) and broke Woods’ record for FedEx Cup points in a season when he won the John Deere Classic on July 12.

And he’s done it all despite ranking a pedestrian 82nd in driving distance, 74th in driving accuracy and 38th in greens in regulation.

“In a game now that is so saturated with power, this isn’t a power guy and this isn’t a guy that’s going to lead - with the exception of putting - any of the statistical categories,” said former PGA Tour player Notah Begay, an analyst for Golf Channel. “I think that’s a reflection of all the intangible attributes that a professional golfer has to have.

“There isn’t a measure for discipline, for maturity, for being able to hold up under pressure, and he’s been able to do that . in the last couple months when the spotlight was focused directly on him.”

Associated Press NEW YORK — The New York Rangers are giving former Los Angeles Kings center Jarret Stoll a second chance a few months after he pleaded guilty to reduced charges in a cocaine case.

The Rangers on Monday signed Stoll to a one-year, $800,000 contract in a deal that gives the NHL’s best team in the regular season in 2014 a center who is outstanding on faceoffs, good on the penalty kill and a veteran who knows what it takes to win the Stanley Cup. The negative is obviously Stoll’s recent problems off the ice.

local qualifying but came up short in sectional qualifying for this year’s U.S. Open. “But you kind of have to treat it like it’s just another tournament and I’ve played lots of tournament golf. Yes, there are lots of good players, but so am I. “If I just stay focused on my game and try not to be too in awe of (everyone else), I can play with them. ... I’m always nervous on the first tee shot of a tournament, but then I get into the rhythm of the round and I’m just playing golf.”

Though he is reluctant to think too far ahead, it is impossible not to imagine the thrill of winning.

“It’d be amazing,” Cornett admitted with a smile. “But you have to take it one step at a time. You have to get through stroke play and then start winning matches. ... But it’d be unbelievable.”

Cornett began playing golf at Mill Creek Country Club when he was 13 and ever since “I’ve

resolve a felony cocaine case stemming from his April arrest at a Las Vegas Strip swimming pool. A felony charge of cocaine possession was dismissed.

Security guards at MGM Grand’s Wet Republic pool found what police believed to be 3.3 grams of cocaine and several ecstasy capsules in Stoll’s pocket on April 17.

Stoll has completed the required 32 hours of community service. He’s also starting a program to help others understand the dangers of using alcohol and controlled substances.

Rangers general manager Jeff Gorton said he spent a lot of time with Stoll talking about the incident, adding he is not worried about him based on how he has handled things so

far. The franchise also talked to those who knew him before he got to the NHL. “It all comes out the same, as a real character guy who made a mistake,” Gorton said. “We all Jarret Stoll want to move forward. Once we hit the ice I don’t think it is going to be an issue.”

Stoll refused to discuss the circumstances surrounding his arrest. When asked whether people had a right to be concerned that the team was signing someone associated with a cocaine charge, he said: “I know what kind of person I am,” he said. “I know what kind of hockey player I am.

People around me know what

kind of person I am. For the outside world to think what they think, it really doesn’t have an impact on myself or the way I play hockey. That’s not who I am. That is not the person I was brought up to be.

Anybody who is important in my life knows that.”

Stoll said his goal is to play for the Rangers and help them try to win their first Cup since 1994. He did not want to discuss the past.

Stoll has played in 792 NHL games over parts of 12 seasons with Edmonton and Los Angeles, with 140 goals and 239 assists.

The 6-foot-1, 215-pounder played in three Stanley Cup finals, and won two with the Kings, in 2011-12 and 2013-14.

In 93 NHL playoff games.

been obsessed with golf,” he said. He would head to the golf course “every day after school, and usually stay until dark.”

He shot 100 in his initial tournament round, but within two years he broke par for the first time with a 2-under 70 at Mill Creek CC. He went on to play four years on Jackson’s varsity golf team, and in his junior season he was the Class 4A state champion. A year later he was the Snohomish County Amateur champion.

In recent years Cornett has been coached by Ryan Benzel, whom he met years ago when the latter was the head pro at Mill Creek CC. Benzel has his own experience with big tournaments, having made four appearances in the PGA Championship, one of golf’s four majors.

“This is really a huge step for him,” said Benzel, today the director of instruction at Redmond’s Sahalee Country Club.

“Kyle’s been very successful at the high school level and he’s had some success collegiately with some good finishes in big events. So the next progression for him is competing at

some of the bigger amateur events, whether regionally or on the national stage, and the U.S. Amateur is the ultimate.

It’s the top of the pyramid for amateur golf, especially in the U.S, and to have the opportunity to compete in that national championship is what every amateur wants to do.”

Benzel has encouraged Cornett to learn in advance what he can about Olympia Fields CC, and then to arrive at the site a few days early to get even more familiar with the layout, a process that will include two practice rounds.

Once the tournament begins, Benzel said, “it’s going to take his best mental (approach) and the best managed tournament rounds of golf he’s ever played in his life. For him to play well and crack into that (match-play) grouping, that’s what it takes. ... But I still want him to feel like this is any other tournament. Because if you don’t let the magnitude of the moment get to you, you have a better opportunity to succeed.”

Cornett will play two more

years at Seattle U and then expects to turn pro, which “has been my goal and my dream since I fell in love with golf,” he said. He knows he needs to become more accurate with his driver, but beyond that “I have to improve every aspect,” he said. “Putt the ball better, chip better, hit the ball better.”

To succeed in pro golf, he went on, “a lot of it is mental.

Just knowing how to score and being able to score even when you’re not playing well. But as long as I keep improving, I’ll be on my way.”

And in the meantime, he will head to the U.S. Amateur with confidence. In any tournament, and particularly this one, “it’s all about believing in yourself,” he said. “You just have to believe that you can do it.

“I loved what Jordan Spieth said at the U.S. Open when everybody was complaining about the greens. He said, ‘Somebody has to hold the trophy at the end of the week.’

It’s that kind of attitude where somebody’s got to win this, so why not me?”
