EVERETT — The developer of a hotel, apartment complex and

the Potala Place development, is being sued in federal court by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

The civil complaint, filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Seattle, says Dargey fraudulently raised more than $125 million through sales of securities to at least 250 investors.

In particular, funds raised for downtown Everett’s Potala Place building and the 40-story Potala

Tower skyscraper in downtown Seattle allegedly were misappropriated, sometimes redirected to other projects. The government also contends money was diverted to buy a luxury home in Bellevue and make cash withdrawals, including at several casinos.

Potala Place, which occupies half a block at Grand Avenue and Wall Street in Everett, has not opened. It is a 220-unit

This summer’s fire response across the West has been overwhelmed by destructive blazes tearing through the tinder-dry region.

The biggest fire burning Monday was in Okanogan County on the Canadian border, where a group of five fires raging out of control became the largest in state history, scorching more than 400 square miles, fire spokesman Rick Isaacson said.

Lightning-sparked fires broke the state record, surpassing blazes that destroyed more than 300 homes in the same county last year.

Boeing designed the B-17 to be durable and ferocious against enemy fighter planes. The bomber had 11 to 13 .50 caliber machine guns. The idea was it could either shoot down attacking planes or endure whatever damage it suffered.

At first, his unit flew without friendly fighters providing cover.

“Then we got lucky,” he said. “We got the Tuskegee Airmen,” a segregated unit of black pilots.

visible local example of how the government’s EB-5 visa system works. Foreign nationals who invest at least $500,000 in a project that generates or preserves at least 10 jobs for U.S. workers may qualify for residency in the United States.

Dargey and Path America used the EB-5 system to raise money from Chinese investors by encouraging them to invest in Potala Place and Potala Tower.

However, the suit alleges that of the $125 million raised, $17.6 million has been misappropriated.

Among the charges: $14.7 million has been used in separate real estate projects under Dargey’s control — Potala Shoreline LLC and Potala Village Kirkland LLC. Those projects are not eligible for the EB-5 visa program.

Dargey also is accused of using $2.5 million in investor funds to purchase a home for himself in Bellevue and making cash withdrawals of about $350,000.

More than $200,000 of the money was withdrawn at 14 different casinos in Washington, Nevada, California and British Columbia, according to the complaint.

Dargey allegedly promised his backers that their investments would make them eligible for U.S. residency. He failed to reveal that those investments would not qualify under the EB-5 program if they weren’t used for those dedicated projects, federal

officials say.

Details are provided in the complaint and hundreds of pages of supporting documents. Among other things, they show that each investor who bought a $500,000 partnership interest in either of the two Path America projects also was charged a $45,000 administrative fee. The investment capital was wired to an escrow account in the U.S. while the administrative fee was wired to an account in Hong Kong.

Approximately $41 million was raised from 82 Chinese nationals for the Potala Place and Farmer’s Market in Everett. About $85 million was raised from 170 Chinese nationals for Potala Tower in Seattle.

Backers were told that the capital raised for the Everett project also would be invested in Everett Hospitality Co., the Dargeycontrolled company that built the new 122-room Hampton Inn in Everett next to Potala Place. The hotel opened in 2014.

According to the complaint, on Sept. 9, 2014, Dargey transferred $1.5 million from the account for the Potala Tower project in Seattle to an account in the name of Dargey Development, another company that he controls.

The next day, Dargey transferred another $1 million from the Potala Tower account directly into an account controlled by Dargey and his wife, Tamara Agassi Dargey, according to the complaint.

The 250-mile-high outpost was in need of fresh supplies, after losing three shipments in eight months. SpaceX remains grounded, as does another U.S. supplier, Orbital Sciences Corp., which suffered a launch explosion last October in Virginia. A Russian cargo ship went out of control in April and was destroyed on re-entry, but the country has since corrected the problem and resumed deliveries.

The airplane was built in late 1944 and delivered to the military March 13, 1945, too late to see combat during World War II. It served in a variety of roles until sold as surplus in 1959. It then spent 18 years as a fire bomber, flying thousands of missions against wildfires across the U.S., likely including some in Washington.

The CAF’s Arizona Wing acquired the airplane in 1978 and set about restoring it. Today, it is the most fully operational B-17, according to the group.

Then on Sept. 14, 2014, Dargey used nearly $2.5 million from the account in his and his wife’s names to purchase a home in Bellevue. The purchase was made in the name of Bellewood Farms Trust, the beneficiaries of which are the Dargeys.

Tamara Agassi Dargey is the sister of tennis star Andre Agassi. She is not named as a defendant in the suit.

The suit also alleges that Dargey withdrew about $350,000 in cash from both the Potala Tower and Potala Place accounts between October 2012 and June 2015, mostly with a debit card or at a bank or casino teller.

From 2012-15, Dargey allegedly diverted $7.5 million from the Potala Farmer’s Market and Potala Tower accounts to an account in the name of Potala Village Kirkland.

In 2014 and 2015, Dargey

also shifted a total of $7.2 million from the Potala Tower to purchase property in Shoreline, the complaint alleges.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has asked a federal judge to approve a restraining order prohibiting Dargey or his companies from raising more money from investors, selling any securities of any business interest they own, and freezing all their assets.

The government also is seeking an accounting of all money received from investors, an order prohibiting the alteration or destruction of books and records, an order to return any investors’ funds that have been transferred overseas back to the United States and unspecific civil monetary penalties.

Plan looks at ‘big picture’ for libraries

By Kari Bray Herald Writer

MARYSVILLE — Some local libraries could get new buildings or major overhauls in the next decade.

Sno-Isle Libraries officials aim to round up suggestions, observations and concerns from library patrons this fall and come up with a plan by March.

The document is needed to help the library district handle population growth, fix outdated

buildings and adjust to shifting demands on the types of services libraries provide over the next decade.

Sno-Isle Libraries are supported by property taxes and serve nearly 700,000 people at 21 different branches, including 15 in Snohomish County. A third of the libraries are too small for the number of people who use them.

Newer libraries like Camano Island, Monroe and Snohomish likely won’t need any major

upgrades in the next decade.

However, discussions have been underway for years in Lake Stevens and Mill Creek about possibly building new libraries.

Other locations also may need to be remodeled or expanded, Sno-Isle communications director Ken Harvey said.

Sno-Isle hired consulting firm Margaret Sullivan Studio of New York for $12,500 to take a “big picture, futuristic look” at library services and buildings, with a report due in September,

he said. Another contractor, Enviroissues of Seattle, plans to home in on drafting the actual plan for $124,550. That work includes gathering public comments, demographic and geographic data, and development requirements for areas where libraries may be built or expanded.

In 2007, the library district drafted an 18-year plan that, like the one they’re working on now, looked ahead to 2025.

The plan proposed renovating,

expanding or rebuilding all Sno-Isle branches, but the recession slowed or halted most projects, Harvey said. As the economy recovers and technology changes the way people use libraries, district managers decided to update the plan and work off of a 10-year timeline.

“We didn’t want to overly invest in a document that would go out of date too quickly,” Harvey said. “This will give us a See LIBRARIES, Page A5

stylist Peter McGinnis snipped her blonde hair into a professional-looking bob. “If you’re having trouble with drug use or alcohol, get the help,” Broman said. “Being clean and sober is so much better than hiding.”

Cherie Vandegrift also was having her shoulder-length hair trimmed. The 49-yearold now lives at Hope Place, a transitional housing complex operated by the Union Gospel Mission in Seattle.

After a year in recovery from alcohol and drug abuse, Vandegrift recently marked another big achievement. On Aug. 9, she summited Mount Rainier as part of a Union Gospel Mission climb team. “We trained a long time,” said Vandegrift, who counts divorce and depression as contributors to her battle with addiction.

MONROE — A dispute between two inmates waiting in line for medicine could land a man in prison for life.

Prosecutors have charged a 41-year-old man with seconddegree assault for the 2014 incident at the Monroe Correctional Complex. The man has been convicted of assault twice before. A third conviction would mean a mandatory life sentence under the state’s persistent offender law.

Prosecutors allege that Joshua Kellerman punched another inmate in the face and caused him to lose consciousness.

Kellerman reportedly told a corrections officer that he started the fight and “claimed that this was prison and the assault was to gain respect,” Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Edirin Okoloko wrote in court papers.

An inmate was standing in line waiting to receive his medication at the Twin Rivers unit when Kellerman allegedly tried to cut in front of him. The other inmate attempted to block Kellerman and told him to go wait in line like everyone else, Okoloko wrote.

Kellerman allegedly punched the man in the face. The impact caused the other inmate to fall backward, and he struck his head against a wall. He tried to get to his feet but slumped back to the ground and lost consciousness, court papers said.

Nurses at the medicine counter came to the injured man’s aid. He was unresponsive and later taken to Valley General Hospital in Monroe. He was diagnosed with multiple facial fractures. He also suffered a concussion.

The assault was captured on the prison’s surveillance system, Okoloko wrote.

Kellerman is serving time for repeatedly violating a no-contact order issued by a Whatcom County judge. He was convicted of second-degree assault in 2005 and again in 2010. He has since been moved to the Washington State Penitentiary in Walla Walla.

A Snohomish County judge last week ordered Kellerman to be moved from the prison to the county jail in Everett so he can answer to the new charge.

Washington voters in 1993 approved the Persistent Offender Accountability Act. Under the law, dozens of violent felony crimes are labeled “most serious offenses” and categorized as

LYNNWOOD — They walked the red carpet, each one escorted into the Embassy Suites hotel Monday morning on the arm of a well-dressed man. The glamour would come later. For their entrance, the women wore jeans and sweatshirts, tank tops and tennis shoes.

“I’ve never done this before,” said Arlington’s Bonita Moore as her volunteer escort, in a crisp white shirt and black tie, guided her into the lobby.

Later, the 57-year-old Moore said of her grand entrance, “I felt like I was on cloud nine.”

Moore was among 75 women being pampered, honored and helped at the annual Queen, It’s a New Day event. Founded

by Judy Hoff and presented by the nonprofit Hoff Foundation, the program held Monday and Tuesday at the Lynnwood hotel begins with makeovers.

The goal is to build upon that cloud-nine feeling to further help women who have struggled with homelessness, substance abuse, domestic violence and other hardships.

Scientists think the biggest cause of brain deterioration in older people is the decreased functioning of membranes and molecules that surround the brain cells. These really are the transmitters that connect the tissues or the brain cells to one another that help us with our sharp memory, clear thinking and mental focus, even our powers to reason well. “When we are in our 20’s” according to Dr. Shinitzky “our body produces key substances like phosphatidylserine and phosphatidic acid”…unfortunately they are believed to be critical essential nutrients that just fade away with age, much like our memories often do leading to further mental deterioration.

As we get older it becomes more frustrating as there is little comfort when you forget names… misplace your keys…or just feel “a little confused”. And even though your foggy memory gets laughed off as just another “senior moment,” it’s not very funny when it keeps happening to you.

The Missing Link is Found and Tested It’s hard to pronounce that’s for sure, but it certainly appears from the astounding clinical research that this one vital nutrient phosphatidylserine (PS) can really make a huge difference in our mental wellness. 17 different double blind studies with placebo controlled groups have been involved in the clinical research of PS with patients between the ages of 55-80 years of age.

Periodically the researchers gave these patients memory and cognitive tests and the results were simply amazing: 1) PS patients outperformed placebo patients in All 5 Tests 100% Success Rate 2) After only 45 days there was a measurable improvement in mental function 3) After 90 days, there was an impressive and amazing improvement in mental function The group taking phosphatidylserine, not only enjoyed sharper memory, but listen to this… they were also more upbeat and remarkably more happy. In contrast, the moods of the individuals who took the placebo (starch pill), remained unaffected….no mental or mood improvement at all.

Help at Esther’s Place includes breakfast and lunch, clothing, life-skills classes, support groups and worship. Along with the two-day Queen event, which includes an overnight hotel stay, the foundation helps a dozen women every other month through its “mini-Queen” events.

Not everyone helped at a Queen event is homeless or battling addiction.

PS as it turns out also helps to reduce everyday stress and elevate your mood by lowering your body’s production of the hormone cortisol. When cortisol levels are too high for too long you experience fatigue, bad moods and weakness. This drug-free brain-boosting formula enters your bloodstream fast (in as little as thirty minutes).

My Memory Started to Scare Me. I would forget all kinds of things and something that I just said earlier in the day would have completely slipped my mind. I almost forgot my granddaughter’s birthday and that would have been horrible. I had forgotten lots of other little things along the way. I was worried about it.

Over the last several months I’ve noticed my memory seemed to be getting pretty unreliable and so I thought I’d better do something about it now. So when I read about this amazing PS nutrient and how much it would help me with my memory I wanted to try it.

Volunteer Summer Lee, 12 (right), helps Paula Wertenberger, of Everett, pick out some clothing items during the Queen, It’s a New Day event at the Embassy Suites in Lynnwood on Monday.

Some of the men who served as escorts also washed women’s feet before others gave them pedicures.

“I have two daughters.

By being able to serve, we’re showing our unconditional love for these ladies,” said Kevin Heuser, a volunteer from Everett’s New Life Church.

Sean Gasperetti, part of the New Life Church staff, noted the biblical story of Jesus washing the feet of his disciples. “For a lot of these women, this could be a launch point in their lives,” Gasperetti said as he volunteered Monday. “There is very little that separates them from ourselves.”

One volunteer was in uniform. Cmdr. Pat Slack of the Snohomish Regional Drug & Gang Task Force is a law enforcement liaison with the Hand Up Project, which works in partnership with the Hoff Foundation. Slack was among the women’s escorts Monday.

Each “queen” also was assisted by a volunteer “queen’s lady.” Tammi Berto, who shares her Snohomish home with her husband of more than 30 years, felt called to that role.

“I feel so blessed,” Berto said. “It’s time for me to start helping other women.”

pursued fewer third strikes than when the law was first enacted. That’s in large part because the cases are heavily litigated, often as much as an aggravated murder case — the only other charge that can carry a mandatory life sentence.

It took two years for prosecutors to bring another Monroe inmate to trial for a third-strike assault on a

corrections officer.

Jimi Hamilton’s lawyers failed to persuade a jury in 2014 that the inmate was in a “dissociative state” when he pummeled the officer in 2012. Hamilton is appealing his conviction and life sentence.

Dr. Shinitsky explains this phenomenon in simple terms; “Science has shown when your brain nutrient levels drop, you can start to experience memory problems and overall mental fatigue. Your ability to concentrate and stay focused becomes compromised. And gradually, a “mental fog” sets in. It can damage every aspect of your life”. Not only do brain cells die but they become dysfunctional as if they begin to fade away as we age. This affects our ability to have mental clarity and focus and impacts our ability to remember things that were easy for us to do in our 20’s and 30’s.

much clearer sense of what communities we need to focus on.”

Lake Stevens and Mill Creek are the two areas where people have been most vocal about wanting new libraries, he said.

In Lake Stevens, the demand mostly seems to be based on the limited space and seating in the current building, library manager Sonia Gustafson said.

She’s seen people come in with children during story time, take a look at the tiny, crowded

children’s area and “turn right back around.”

On on recent morning, several adults stood around the selfcheckout counter so they could prop their laptops on corners.

There was nowhere else to set up their computers.

“Our three little tables are full all the time,” Gustafson said.

“We’re pretty hopping for 2,500 square feet.”

More flexibility is needed in new library buildings, she said.

They aren’t just in-and-out stops for people to check out books.

Visitors are looking for meeting rooms, children’s activities and quiet, comfortable corners with a good wireless internet

connection and outlets for laptops and tablets.

“Libraries have changed so much since I became a librarian nine years ago,” she said.

Sno-Isle administrators plan to host public meetings around Snohomish and Island counties along with accepting comments online this fall.

After the plan is finished, library staff can turn their attention toward the communities where people are most interested in new or updated libraries, Harvey said.

In Loving Memory of Elizabeth M. Barson

Oregon: mobile pot cart illegal PORTLAND, Ore. — It didn’t take long for an entrepreneur to combine two of Portland’s favorite things: marijuana and food carts.

But state officials aren’t thrilled. The Oregon Health Authority on Monday said the Smoke Buddy, a mobile cart selling medical marijuana, is illegal.

The agency’s spokesman, Jonathan Modie, said operating a mobile service or a medicine delivery service is not allowed under the state dispensary rules. The prohibition includes sales at farmers markets, drivethru windows and mobile dispensaries.

According to Modie, a facility must operate at a particular location to be registered. And any transfer of marijuana to or from a dispensary must take place at the registered address.

Needless to say, Modie said, the Smoke Buddy isn’t registered with the state dispensary program.

And since it’s not registered, he said, the Health Authority has no power to cite it, fine it or shut it down, he said.

“It’s a law enforcement issue,” said Modie, adding that the state has passed on information about the marijuana cart to city officials.

The Smoke Buddy has been operating for about a week, visiting several Portland neighborhoods.

Koreas pull back from the brink North and South reach agreement ending ‘semi-state of war’

By Hyung-Jin Kim and Foster Klug Associated Press

SEOUL, South Korea — After 40-plus hours of talks, North and South Korea on Tuesday reached an accord that allows both sides to save face and avert the bloodshed they’ve been threatening each other with for weeks.

In an artfully crafted, though vague, piece of diplomacy, Pyongyang expressed “regret” over the fact that two South Korean soldiers were maimed in a recent land mine blast.

While not an acknowledgement of responsibility, it allows Seoul to say it has received the apology it has demanded.

South Korea, for its part, agreed to halt anti-Pyongyang propaganda broadcasts, which will let the authoritarian North trumpet to its people a propaganda victory over its bitter rival — and put an end to hated loudspeaker messages that outside analysts say could demoralize front-line troops and inspire them to defect.

The agreement is an important first step in easing animosity that has built since South Korea blamed North Korea for the mine explosion at the border earlier this month and restarted the propaganda

THE SOUTH KOREAN UNIFICATION MINISTRY

Posing after their meeting at the border village of Panmunjom in Paju, South Korea, on Tuesday are (from left) Kim Yang Gon, a senior North Korean official responsible for South Korean affairs; South Korean presidential security adviser Kim Kwan-jin; Hwang Pyong So, North Korea’ top political officer for the Korean People’s Army; and South Korean Unification Minister Hong Yong-pyo.

broadcasts in retaliation.

But it’s unclear how long the good mood will continue. The accord does little to address the many major, long-standing differences the rivals still have.

The two sides’ announcement that they’ll hold further talks soon in either Seoul or Pyongyang could do that, but the Koreas have a history of failing to follow through on accords.

The talks that began Saturday at the border village of Panmunjom, where the Koreas agreed to the 1953 ceasefire

that stopped fighting in the Korean War, also resulted in Pyongyang agreeing to lift a “quasi-state of war” declared last week, according to South Korea’s presidential office and North Korea’s state media.

While this declaration was largely a matter of rhetoric — the border is the world’s most heavily armed and there has never been a formal peace agreement ending the Korean War, so the area is always essentially in a “quasi-state of war” — there had been growing worry about South Korean

reports that the North continued to prepare for a fight during the talks, moving unusual numbers of troops and submarines to the border.

The Koreas also struck an important humanitarian agreement by promising to resume in September the emotional reunions of families separated by the Korean War. They said more reunions would follow, but there were no immediate details.

In a signal of North Korea’s seriousness, Pyongyang sent to the talks Hwang Pyong So, the top political officer for the Korean People’s Army and considered by outside analysts to be North Korea’s second most important official after supreme leader Kim Jong Un. “I hope the two sides faithfully implement the agreements and build up (mutual) confidence through a dialogue and cooperation and that it serves as a chance to work out new South-North relations,” chief South Korean negotiator and presidential national security director Kim Kwan-jin said in a televised news conference.

These were the highest-level talks between the two Koreas in a year. So it was something of a victory that senior officials from the countries were even sitting together.

Man describes tackling shooting suspect

By Janet McConnaughey Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS — A Louisiana trooper died Monday, a day after an apparently stranded motorist shot him in the head and then stood over him to tell him he was going to die soon, state police said.

Authorities plan to charge the man accused of killing Senior Trooper Steven Vincent, 43, with first-degree murder of an officer.

Vincent had been trying to help a man whose pickup truck was stuck sideways in a ditch, Col. Mike Edmonson said during a news conference Monday.

“I watched the tape yesterday. It was frightening to watch,” Edmonson said, referring to the dashboard video.

Officials have not released the video, but Edmonson said it showed that Vincent did everything right.

Edmonson also introduced the good Samaritan who he said wrestled the sawedoff shotgun away from the man accused of shooting the trooper.

Kevin Daigle is accused of killing Louisiana Senior Trooper Steven Vincent.

“This is a hero,” Edmonson said of Robert LeDoux of Iowa, Louisiana, a town of about 3,100 where one of Vincent’s brothers is police chief.

LeDoux was the first of four people who stopped to help.

Another driver who’d passed the shooting scene told LeDoux that a trooper had been shot, so LeDoux sped there, jumped out, and grabbed Kevin Daigle and “moved him off our trooper,” Edmonson said.

LeDoux then used Vincent’s radio to ask for help.

Edmonson said Daigle, 54, of Lake Charles, was under arrest at a hospital.

Police video showed Vincent, a 13-year state police veteran, very professionally trying to talk a man out of the vehicle stuck sideways in a ditch, Edmonson said Sunday.

He said the truck door opened and Daigle came out with the shotgun.

He said the tape shows

the shotgun blast. “I saw my trooper go backwards and back toward his unit, where he was going to try to get some help out there,” Edmonson said.

After the shooting, he said, Daigle wandered into the road and over to Vincent, asking if he was alive.

“You could hear him breathing, telling him, ‘You’re lucky.

You’re lucky — you’re going to die soon.’ That’s the words that came out of his mouth,” Edmonson said.

Edmonson said Daigle had “numerous DWIs” and other arrests that he wouldn’t discuss because he didn’t know whether they resulted in convictions.

Sgt. James Anderson, southwest Louisiana spokesman for state police, said Daigle was hospitalized for some scrapes and other injuries he sustained while the other motorists subdued him.

Edmonson said Vincent leaves behind a wife, Katherine, and a 9-year-old son, Ethan. Edmonson said Sunday that, in addition to his police chief brother, another brother is a state trooper.

France honors 4 who thwarted train attack

By Sylvie Corbet Associated Press

PARIS — The president of France pinned his country’s highest award, the Legion d’Honneur, on three Americans and a Briton on Monday, saying they “gave a lesson in courage” by subduing a heavily armed attacker on a high-speed train carrying 500 passengers to Paris.

President Francois Hollande said that while two of the Americans who tackled the gunman were soldiers, “on Friday you were simply passengers. You behaved as soldiers but also as responsible men.”

Hollande then pinned the medals on U.S. Airman Spencer Stone, National Guardsman Alek Skarlatos, and their longtime friend Anthony Sadler.

All took part in subduing the gunman as he moved through the Amsterdam-to-Paris train with an assault rifle strapped to his bare chest. British businessman Chris Norman, who jumped into the fray, also received the medal.

earnest and slightly overwhelmed — and a little under-dressed — for the unanticipated event in the ornate Elysee Palace. Their shortsleeved polo shirts and khakis contrasted with the gilded and velvet-curtained ceremonial hall as Hollande read out their names one by one — and kissed them on each cheek, in French style.

The four men listened to a translation of Hollande’s

speech through earpieces, and the visibly proud mothers of Stone and Skarlatos looked on.

Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel and U.S. Ambassador Jane Hartley attended the ceremony, along with the head of French national railway authority SNCF. The men showed “that faced with terror, we have the power to resist. You also gave a lesson in courage, in will, and thus in

hope,” Hollande said.

His arm in a sling and his eye bruised, Stone, 23, has said he was coming out of a deep sleep when the gunman appeared.

Skarlatos, a 22-year-old National Guardsman who was recently back from Afghanistan, “just hit me on the shoulder and said, ‘Let’s go,”’ Stone said.

With those words, Hollande said, a “veritable carnage” was avoided.

“Since Friday, the entire world admires your courage, your sangfroid, your spirit of solidarity. This is what allowed you to with bare hands — your bare hands — subdue an armed man. This must be an example for all, and a source of inspiration,” Hollande said.

A French passenger was the first to try to stop the attacker and was also honored Monday, but he did not want his identity publicly known, Hollande said.

The gunman, identified as 26-year-old Moroccan Ayoub El-Khazzani, is detained and being questioned by French counterterrorism police outside Paris.

ACROSS THE U.S.

VA: Claims backlog below 100,000 cases WASHINGTON — The Department of Veterans Affairs said Monday it now has fewer than 100,000 disability claims older than four months, a “historic milestone” that is one-sixth the size of a long-term backlog that reached a record 611,000 claims in 2013.

Allison Hickey, the VA’s undersecretary for benefits, said the backlog of 98,535 claims older than 125 days is the lowest since the agency started measuring the claims backlog in 2007. The gains were achieved in part through use of mandatory overtime for employees in the benefits division, a practice Hickey said officials hope to stop in September.

F-22 fighter jet to Europe Air Force officials say they will soon deploy stealthy F-22 fighter jets to Europe to train with other nations’ militaries and reassure allies worried about Russian aggression. Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Mark A. Welsh said allies in Europe have advanced aircraft and they want to be able to train sideby-side with the U.S. fighters to insure the nations’ militaries can operate well together. Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee James says the deployment also will allow pilots to get more experience operating over European terrain.

N.Y.: Bus into building A casino bus crashed into a threestory brick building in Queens on Monday, shearing off a large part of the structure and injuring at least nine people, authorities said. The Resorts World Casino bus struck the building that houses a law office at about 2:30 p.m.

At least one person in the building was injured. Everyone was expected to survive, officials said.

Okla.: Son kills politician A man charged with killing his father, who was Oklahoma’s labor commissioner, repeatedly stabbed him with a large kitchen knife in the neck and head at a busy restaurant while his mother tried to stop him, police said Monday.

Christian Costello, 26, was being held on a preliminary first-degree murder charge Monday after the Sunday night killing of his father, Mark Costello. The son had asked his parents to meet him at the Braum’s fast-food restaurant in Oklahoma City, where he argued with his father while his mother waited outside. “What set him off to attack the commissioner, we still don’t know,” Oklahoma City police Capt. Paco Balderrama said.

AROUND THE WORLD Sierra Leone: No Ebola Health authorities released the country’s last known Ebola patient from a Mateneh hospital on Monday, a milestone that allows the nation to begin a 42-day countdown to being declared free of the virus that has killed nearly 4,000 people there. If Sierra Leone is declared free of transmission of the Ebola virus it would leave just one country with the disease — Guinea — after an epidemic that has killed more than 11,200 people since late 2013.

Serbia: Migrants rush in Exhausted migrants by the thousands, some pushed in wheelchairs or on wheelbarrows, others on crutches or carrying young children, crossed on foot from Macedonia into Serbia on Monday as they sought to reach Western Europe. The rush over the border by the migrants fleeing war and poverty in the Middle East and Africa followed Macedonia’s decision to lift the blockade of its border with Greece. Nearly 10,000 people, including many women with babies and small children mostly from Syria, crossed into Serbia over the weekend.

Can.: Ashley Madison hack The hacking of the cheating website Ashley Madison has triggered extortion crimes and led to two unconfirmed reports of suicides, Canadian police said Monday. The company behind Ashley Madison is offering a $500,000 Canadian reward for information leading to the arrest of members of a group that hacked the site. Hackers last week released detailed records on millions of people registered with the website, a month after a break-in at Ashley Madison’s parent company, Toronto-based Avid Life Media Inc.

Stocks finish 588 points down

The Dow began the day by plunging 1,000 points in the first four minutes, triggered by worry over a slowdown in China.

run for more than six years, after bottoming out in March 2009 in the aftermath of the financial crisis and the Great Recession. The rout began in China last week and continued on Monday, when the country’s main stock index sank 8.5 percent.

China concerns aside, U.S. stocks have been primed for a sell-off for several months, said Jim Paulsen, chief investment strategist and economist for Wells Capital Management.

“I’ve been of the view since late last year that this market is in a vulnerable position,” he said. “It’s

gone almost straight up for six years.”

Stocks have kept rising even as corporate earnings growth has slowed. The price-earnings ratio for the S&P 500, a measure of how much investors are willing to pay for each dollar of company earnings, climbed as high as 17.2 in March. That was the highest level in at least a decade, according to FactSet. The Dow plummeted 1,089 points Monday within the first four minutes of the opening bell as traders dumped shares. But a wave of buying by

bargain-hunters cut the Dow’s losses by half just five minutes later.

The U.S. market slide was broad. The 10 sectors in the S&P 500 headed lower, with energy stocks recording the biggest decline, 5.2 percent, amid a slump in the price of oil. The sector is down almost 25 percent this year.

U.S. Treasurys surged as investors bought less risky assets. The yield on the benchmark 10-year note fell to 2.01 percent from 2.04 percent.

In Europe, Germany’s DAX stock index fell 4.7 percent, while the CAC-40 in France slid 5.4 percent. The FTSE 100 index of leading British shares dropped 4.7 percent.

In Asia, Japan’s Nikkei index fell 4.6 percent, its worst one-day drop since in over 2½ years.

Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index fell 5.2 percent, Australia’s S&P ASX/200 slid 4.1 percent, and South Korea’s Kospi lost 2.5 percent.

The Shanghai index suffered its biggest percentage decline in 8½ years.

China is facing a slowdown in economic growth, the banking system is short of cash, and investors are pulling money out of the country.

U.S. crude flirts with close of under $40 a barrel Associated Press NEW YORK — Oil prices are continuing to slide on fears of a slowdown in the world economy, with U.S. crude on pace to close at under $40 a barrel for the first time since the days of the global economic crisis.

Already trading around sixyear lows on a prolonged slump, U.S. crude fell $1.48, or 3.7 percent, to $38.97 per barrel Monday

afternoon. Earlier it dropped to $37.75.

Oil hadn’t closed below $40 a barrel since February 2009, although it briefly traded below that level on Friday.

Brent crude, a benchmark for international oils used by many U.S. refineries, fell $2.10, or 4.6 percent, to $43.36 and is at its lowest levels since March 2009.

Investors are getting more and more concerned about the health

of the world economy on signs that growth in China, the secondlargest economy in the world, is slowing down. That led to a selloff in stocks Friday and another on Monday, when China’s main stock market took its biggest dive in eight years.

The U.S. has ramped up oil production to historic levels over the last few years while OPEC countries continued to churn out crude. Supplies have built up and

growth in the world economy has been slow, with China’s economy losing steam and Japan’s shrinking. That resulted in a supply glut that has punished oil prices over the last year. The price of U.S. crude has fallen more than 60 percent from its 2014 highs.

U.S. crude averaged more than $90 a barrel from 2011 through 2014. Its price has fallen for eight straight weeks, the longest slump in almost 30 years.

Outdoor show sticks with Utah SALT LAKE CITY — The world’s largest outdoor retail show considered moving to other cities with more lodging and convention space but chose to stay in Utah after attendees revealed an overwhelming desire to keep the expo at the foot of the mountains in Salt Lake City, officials said Monday.

The Outdoor Retailer Show — which is staged twice a year and brings the state an estimated $45 million annual economic boost — extended its contract with Salt Lake City two more years through 2018.

The retail expo has come to Salt Lake City for every show since 1996, except for 2002 during the Winter Olympics.

By Alex Veiga and Steve Rothwell U.S. stocks slid again Monday, with the Dow Jones industrial average briefly plunging more than 1,000 points in a sell-off that sent a shiver of fear from Wall Street to Main Street.

Stocks regained some of that ground as the day wore on, but the Dow finished with a loss of 588 points, the eighth-worst single-day point decline and the second straight fall of more than 500 points.

The slump — part of a global wave of selling touched off by signs of a slowdown in China, the world’s second-largest economy — triggered worries among Wall Street professionals and ordinary Americans.

With the lease on her car up, health insurance worker Deirdre Ralph of Wayne, New Jersey, had planned to get a less pricey vehicle and invest the savings. Now she’s having doubts.

“That money, I wanted to take and put it toward my retirement,” said Ralph, 61. “Should I? Or should I just have a great old time?”

The Dow ended up losing 588.47 points, or 3.6 percent, closing at 15,871.35. As scary as the sell-off was, the Dow’s decline doesn’t even make the list of the Top 10 biggest drops in percentage terms.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 index slid 77.68 points, or 3.9 percent, to 1,893.21, and is now in “correction” territory, Wall Street jargon for a drop of at least 10 percent from a recent peak. The last market correction was nearly four years ago.

The Nasdaq composite shed 179.79 points, or 3.8 percent, closing at 4,526.25.

All three major indexes are down for the year.

Monsanto ups offer Monsanto Co. has made an increased takeover offer to Syngenta, seeking to draw the Swiss agro-chemical producer to the negotiating table after its earlier approach was rejected, according to people familiar with the matter. The recent offer values Syngenta at about 470 Swiss francs, or $503, per share in cash and stock, compared with the 449 francs the U.S. firm offered earlier this year. That would value the Swiss company at about 43.7 billion francs, data compiled by Bloomberg show.

Lockheed settlement Lockheed Martin, the world’s largest defense contractor, has agreed to pay $4.7 million to settle charges that it illegally used government money to lobby top federal officials to extend its contract to run one of the country’s premier nuclear weapons labs. Top Lockheed executives — who were being paid by the federal government to run Sandia National Laboratories — ran a fierce campaign to Congress and senior Obama administration officials for a seven-year extension of their contract, the Justice Department said Friday.

Battery recycling plant A California company has broken ground on a $30-million battery recycling plant in Nevada that federal officials say will be the world’s first electro-chemical lead battery and recycling plant.

Three employment assessments formerly used by the Minneapolis-based retailer disproportionately screened out applicants for professional positions based on race and gender, and the tests were not sufficiently job-related, the EEOC said. The commission also said an assessment that was performed by psychologists violated the Americans with Disabilities Act. Thousands of people were adversely affected and the settlement money will be divided among them, the EEOC said.

Teens are back-to-school shopping like their parents

By Anne D’innocenzio Associated Press

GARDEN CITY, N.Y. — Giulia Pugliese is a typical teenager. She likes to look good, and she’s particular about what she wears.

But when The Associated Press followed the Long Island 15-year-old on a recent back-to-school shopping trip with friends, she left a Nike store emptyhanded — even though Nike is one of her favorite brands. The reason?

“I buy on sale because it’s stupid to buy a pair of shorts for $60,” said Pugliese, who instead looks for the “Swoosh” logo in discount stores like Marshalls.

Teens are shopping like their parents during the back-to-school season, and that’s putting a lot of pressure on retailers to change the way they market to them. Gone are the spending sprees, starting weeks before school bells ring.

More teens are thrifty, a habit picked up from their recession-scarred parents.

Today’s kids recycle more clothes from the previous school year, mixing and matching the old with the new. They also shop year-round so they’re spending less money this time of year.

When they do buy,

they’re less likely to get anything that’s not on sale.

And the number of kids who’ll reuse last year’s items rose to 39 percent from 26 percent between 2011 and 2015, says a Deloitte LLP poll of 1,000 parents.

And when teens shop, they’re spending less. Families with school-age kids, on average, are expected to spend $630.36 this year, according to a survey of 6,500 by the National Retail Federation. That’s down 6 percent from last year and results have registered declines for four out of the past seven years.

Overall, back-to-school spending this year should hit $42.5 billion, up 2.1 percent from the previous year, according to The Retail Economist, a research firm. That’s much lower than the 5 to 6 percent average gains typically seen in a healthy economy.

Teens’ behavior is an extension of how their parents learned to shop since 2008 when retailers pushed discounts to entice people to buy during the downturn. That helped lure shoppers, but it also got them addicted to deals.

Such behavior has cut into sales from July through September, the second biggest shopping period of

My daughter is a rising junior in college and she is as tethered to her computer as she is to her smartphone. So I get that a broken computer is a

big deal. But colleges have computer labs. Libraries have computers. On a college campus, plenty of other students have computers. Again, let’s be wary of scaring young adults into thinking credit is their only choice when things happen.

Sallie also advocated a credit-building strategy

the year behind the winter holidays. Sales during that period were 24.9 percent of total sales annually last year, down from 25.8 percent in 2003, according to The Retail Economist.

“Consumers are sending a message to retailers that says ‘the back-to-school shopping season just isn’t that important anymore,’” says Deloitte’s Alison Paul.

The shift is changing how stores market to teens.

Whereas stores’ promotions would end around Labor Day, they’re now extending them through September. They’re also pulling together complete outfits from different brands in stores to make

it easier for teens to buy looks. And they’re using social media campaigns to be more easily discovered by teens.

that I discourage.

“I gave my children, and now give my grandchildren, a credit card on my American Express [account],” she wrote.

Hold on here! Do you fully understand what it means to add someone on your credit card as an authorized user?

This person can benefit from your good credit habits, such as low credit balances and on-time payments. But the reverse

is also true. If the primary cardholder doesn’t pay the bill on time, that bad history could be reported as well. And an account holder who bumps up against the maximum credit limit could also work against everyone else using the card. Additionally, not all credit lenders report the account history to an added user’s credit file.

However, my biggest issue with adding someone to your card is the fact that

In no rush The AP followed Pugliese; her cousin, Arianna Schaden, 14; and two friends, Isabella Cimato, 17, and Sofia Harrison, 15, at Roosevelt Field mall in Garden City, New York.

Although they started shopping weeks early, the four teens plan to delay buying things they don’t need immediately, like jeans, until well after school starts and the weather cools. In fact,

they’re planning to spend about half of their backto-school budget of about $400 after school begins.

Cimato didn’t buy anything at all that day.

Harrison, who bought a few shirts, said: “To be honest, it’s not that big of a deal because I shop year round.”

Besides that, they want big discounts. Schaden found a $58 romper she liked, but decided to leave the mall without it.

“I think I buy on sale because my mom never buys something unless it’s on sale,” she said.

In response to this new thinking, Macy’s and J.C. Penney are now staggering back-to-school promotions through September.

Penney also is increasing the back-to-school merchandise it carries in late August and September.

And Hollister, a division of Abercrombie & Fitch, says it is timing deals on items shoppers most want now.

Teens are researching the looks they want online and follow popular hashtags on social media so they can piece together looks before they get to the store. Google says its image searches for “school outfit”

soared 76 percent in July.

Cimato, who researched denim tops and items with fringe on Instagram, said: “I pretty much know what I am looking for.”

That presents challenges for retailers that are afraid teens will bypass their stores because they’re focused on items they already want to buy. So, retailers are trying to get teens’ attention before they are in stores.

Macy’s is identifying key trends and hashtags on social media that are getting lots of followers. It now highlights shoe trends using the popular hashtag FWIS, which means “from where I stand.”

Penney uses Pinterest personalities like Katherine Accettura and Mai Phung who are influential among teens to market its backto-school fashions. The company says it sees up to 500 times more re-pins than if it promoted the product itself.

Teens also no longer want to be carbon copies of each other.

“I’m not a big fan of logos,” Harrison said. That’s distracting to my style.”

That behavior makes it hard for retailers to dictate specific looks. That means retailers have to do more marketing to attract teens.

they have no obligation to pay the bill.

Sallie said her grandchildren “understand that the card “is for emergencies and use it as such with periodic other uses for which they have been good about paying me back.

Their parents pay me back the other (times),” as was the case with the broken computer. “Another good thing about this is that I, of course, in getting the bill, get to see what they have

used it for.”

So a card that was supposed to be only used for emergencies is in fact used for other purchases.

Students should master using cash — even a debit card — long before graduating to MasterCard or Visa. Yes, it may take years to build up exceptional credit. But it only takes a short time of mismanagement to damage it. (c) 2015, Washington Post Writers Group

IN OUR VIEW | Impaired driving

Please, don’t toke and drive It’s probably not a surprise that marijuana use is being found more often among drivers who are involved in fatal accidents.

Following voters’ legalization of recreational marijuana in 2012 and the opening of the first retail cannabis shops last summer, that increase in use appears to have found its way onto our roads.

Data from the Washington State Traffic Safety Commission shows a 48 percent increase in fatal accidents in which drivers tested positive for marijuana use. Statewide, of 429 fatal accidents in 2014, causing 462 deaths, 207 involved drivers who were impaired by alcohol, drugs or both and 86 involved drivers who tested positive for marijuana. For the year previous, of 401 fatal accidents and 436 deaths there were again 207 impaired drivers, and 58 drivers tested positive for marijuana. Prior to 2013 that number fluctuated but had

not seen an increase similar to that shown in 2014.

A few points need to be made about the safety commission’s numbers: Testing positive doesn’t distinguish between active and inactive THC in the blood, meaning the driver may or may not have been impaired by marijuana use at the time of the accident.

And the numbers don’t break down those marijuana users who were or weren’t impaired by alcohol. Nor were there statistics available on drivers using marijuana who were involved in accidents that involved injuries.

While the marijuana use is concerning, driver impairment because of alcohol remains a much larger and deadlier problem. However, the numbers do reflect an increase last year in the number of people who are smoking marijuana and are then involved in fatal accidents.

It’s an expected result of

legalizing marijuana, but it’s not an acceptable one.

Efforts to combat drunken driving, including tougher penalties and public education campaigns have shown success. Again the numbers bear that out. The number of fatal accidents caused by drunken drivers statewide declined from a high of 169 in 2009 to 102 last year. In the first three months of this year, there were 17 fatal accidents involving drunken drivers.

What has worked to fight drunken driving should also work to dissuade driving under marijuana’s effects. The penalties for driving under the influence are the same whether its alcohol, marijuana or any another drug. The state, since 2012 has said drivers are impaired if they have a blood level of .05 nanograms or greater of THC. Public campaigns already are underway. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Ad Council

draw the comparison directly with their “Buzzed Driving is Drunk Driving” campaign and ask drivers to sign a pledge on their website.

Just as they are when using alcohol, personal responsibility and some self-knowledge are the best tools for those who use marijuana. According to a NHTSA fact sheet, the effects of cannabis are felt within a few minutes and reach their peak within 10 to 30 minutes. The high from marijuana can last about two hours, but its effects on alertness and reaction time — the skills a driver relies on — don’t return to baseline levels for three to five hours. And using alcohol in combination with marijuana increases the level of impairment.

Washington voters made the choice to equate marijuana with alcohol as a substance that adults should legally be able to enjoy. But it was with the understanding that we would do so

of his promises because the car is a lemon. He is selling himself — a fast-talking thief whose only skill is learning what you want to hear and saying it. For him, this is a huge experiment in discovering how easily people can be gulled. Undoubtedly, he considers us all idiots. Maybe he’s right.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■SNOCO PUD

New manager must stop project Can anyone really change the Snohomish County PUD? As a sign, Craig Collars’ first act as new GM must be to withdraw their proposed hydroproject on the Skykomish River. We’re watching.

Glaciers feeding the river are permanently disappearing. In 87 years of gauging, 2015 set record low flows. Record low snowpack last winter will be followed by another winter of low snowfall. Does he care diminished river flows result in higher water temperatures with lethal impacts to endangered fish and wildlife?

The Skykomish is not a Tinkertoy where SnoPUD engineers play God. Blasting the river diversion for hydro generation will further decrease flows, elevate water temperatures, release toxic leachates, risk new landslides and diminish the spiritual power of Canyon and Sunset falls. There are no acceptable mitigations.

Will SnoPUD Commissioners concede diminishing flows are also lethal to their hydroelectric scheme as each megawatt of hydropower becomes more costly to build?

To become relevant in the rapidly changing utility market, Collar must aggressively expand Solar Express, integrating MESA battery storage and replacing SnoPUD’s proposed hydroproject watt-for-watt with safe, solar electric inside its subscriber area. He can start by dusting off the 2013 Feasibility Study for Solar at Cathcart Landfill.

Collar can’t steal our state-protected Scenic River.

Although SnoPUD acts like it, they don’t own this river.

Withdraw SnoPUD’s proposed Skykomish hydro the easy way right now, by not filing for a FERC license, or the hard way fighting a tsunami of organized opposition at every step.

They can choose.

■■POLITICS

Trump excels as car salesman Let’s pull back the curtain on the great and terrible Oz. Oh, look! It’s Donald Trump, and he’s a car salesman.

A car salesman’s job is to make you believe you are getting the best car there is.

Necessarily, this has to be untrue somewhere north of 99.9 percent of the time, so he talks to you to understand your fondest dreams and then proceeds to convince you that this car will make those dreams come true.

What the great and terrible Trump has learned is that people to the right of center are really sick and tired of the last few decades of having their consciousness raised into a realization that some of what they have been saying and doing to people who are unlike themselves is offensive, bigoted and harmful. So they have relabeled this knowledge political correctness so they can view it as bad and are ready to follow anyone who promises to free them from their guilt. Roar says the great and terrible Trump.

“Trump says it like it is,” which is electionese for “He says what makes me feel like my moral laziness is perfectly fine.” He can’t deliver on any

■■BOATING SAFETY

River is not open water; no wake There are standards for what is an excessive wake.

“The perfect example of the Pursuit of Happiness is a father being able to safely take his child salmon fishing,” was the winning argument in Legislature in 1974 regarding Puget Sound, which is considered open water.

The Snohomish River is 100 yards wide. It is not open water. Boat wakes reach both shores, and effect everyone on and along the river.

If a boat wake is large enough to launch a child out of their seat, it is excessive.

Children will continue to be injured on the river until the enforcement agencies that patrol the river start educating boaters on what the mandatory state program specifies as negligence and unlawful like the rest of the state does.

Marine Patrol Units should be on patrol when boat traffic is the highest so they can explain to boaters when their wake is excessive, and how much they need to slow down to come into compliance with the law.

Markets’ fall a reminder: It’s the economy

T

he sudden turmoil in the financial markets is a reminder that when the preliminary hoopla is over and voters actually begin to select their presidential nominees, competence and cool will probably matter.

If the global swoon in stock prices were to turn into something more serious, which candidates would benefit? Could it give a boost to the billionaire developer who has a degree EUGENE ROBINSON — as he constantly reminds us — from the prestigious Wharton School? Or would his four corporate bankruptcies and “ready, shoot, aim” approach to life make Donald Trump’s supporters think twice?

I’m reminded of a story I’ve heard House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi tell.

When the financial crisis struck in the fall of 2008, Sen. John McCain, the GOP candidate, melodramatically suspended his campaign and demanded an all-hands summit meeting at the White House.

Democratic candidate Barack Obama was invited, as were the leaders of both houses of Congress and the frantic, sleepdeprived members of George W. Bush’s economic team. Bush was a reluctant but gracious host.

The president offered McCain the floor, as Pelosi recounts, but it turned out that the senator had nothing of substance to say. Then came Obama, the constitutional lawyer, who gave an academic lecture on finance to a room littered with MBAs. Bush, who had no patience with meetings that wasted his time, leaned over to Pelosi and whispered, “Y’all gonna miss me when I’m gone.”

In the end, voters decided that sangfroid, perhaps with a touch of arrogance, was better than cluelessness. The financial crisis alone didn’t swing the election Obama’s way, but it helped.

This sharp decline in stock prices is in no way comparable to the meltdown of 2008. Venerable investment houses are not failing. Big banks are not clamoring for emergency infusions of cash. There is no subprime bubble to burst.

But the current market losses, which began in China, are not happening in a vacuum. China’s growth rate, which for years was about 10 percent a year, is down to a relatively anemic 7 percent, and the true growth figure is probably much lower.

A slowdown of this magnitude in the world’s second-biggest economy inevitably ripples across the rest of the globe.

Oil prices, meanwhile, are lower than we’ve seen in years at about $45 a barrel.

This should be good news for consumers.

But remember that the United States — not Russia or Saudi Arabia — is now the world’s biggest producer of oil and natural gas.

How might all of this affect the presidential race? I’m guessing it could make voters pay more attention to the candidates’ records on economic and financial management — and might give a boost to those with experience, as opposed to promise.

On the Democratic side, I would expect Hillary Clinton to get a bump. Polls consistently say that voters see her as the most experienced candidate in either party. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont has plenty of bold economic ideas, but I wonder if voters might look at their shrinking 401(k) balances and become more risk-averse.

The Republican side is where things get really interesting. Jeb Bush, as I’ve written before, was supposed to be the adult in the room, the consummate grown-up, the steady helmsman. But there’s the slight matter of his brother, who let the 2007-08 crisis get out of hand before finally reacting with a huge bank bailout that many saw as corporate socialism.

Governors such as Scott Walker of Wisconsin and Chris Christie of New Jersey have already been pressed to defend their management of their states’ budgets and credit ratings. Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida has had to answer for his precarious personal finances. Businesswoman Carly Fiorina did run a massive corporation, but there is disagreement over how well. Ben Carson was a tremendously gifted neurosurgeon but has never really run anything.

And then there’s Trump. Many of his policy prescriptions are, to put it mildly, far-fetched. Round up and deport 11 million people? Somehow force the Mexican government to pay for a border wall? Take back jobs from China?

Logically, it seems to me that market craziness ought to be bad for Trump. But while his candidacy is about many things, logic isn’t one of them.

Number of ways to help those affected by wildfires Herald staff EVERETT — Wildfires continue to ravage communities in Central and Eastern Washington.

Volunteers and nonprofits have turned their focus to raising funds and collecting supplies for people displaced by the flames, many of whom are waiting to learn if their homes will make it through the fire season.

Sarah McCreadie, who grew up in Arlington and now lives in SeaTac, knows at least one family who doesn’t have a house anymore. Her family’s vacation property burned and when she ventured over the mountains last week to see the damage, she found out a retired couple who

lived next door had lost their home.

“I was over there and I just saw the destruction and the devastation,” she said.

She urges people to give back in whatever way they can. McCreadie and her fiance, Chris Roark, are hosting a donation event and plan to drive supplies over to the Chelan area later this month.

There are a number of other ways people can give. Here are some options: McCreadie and Roark are collecting donations Tuesday evening at Barbacoa Mexican Grill and Tequila Bar, 1321 SE Everett Mall Way. The event runs from 6 to 9 p.m. They hope to fill a flatbed trailer

with supplies such as bottled water, paper plates and plastic utensils, toilet paper, ready-to-eat food such as peanut butter or canned fruit, dog and cat food, baby supplies, new socks and underwear, first aid kits and gas cards. They also are looking for some larger items such as cots, coolers, suitcases, air purifiers and vouchers for hotel rooms. They plan to head over to Chelan next week with whatever donations they collect. People also can donate online at www. gofundme.com/p729h684.

McCreadie plans to use that money to help people cover insurance deductibles for vehicles destroyed in the fires.

Red Onion Burger, 21005 44th Ave. W in

Mountlake Terrace, plans to donate 100 percent of cash tips, 50 percent of credit card tips and 50 percent of total purchases Thursday to the Community Foundation of North Central Washington. The fundraiser goes from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.

The Community Foundation of North Central Washington, which serves Chelan, Douglas and Okanogan counties, has started an online fundraising campaign. Donations to the 2015 Chelan Valley Fire Relief Fund can be made online at cfncw. smalldognet.com/erp/ donate.

United Way of Chelan and Douglas Counties also has launched a wildfire relief fund. Donations

can be made by mailing a check, with “wildfire” written on the memo line, to United Way at PO Box 488, Wenatchee, WA 98807, or by clicking the “Wildfire Relief” button at uwcdc. org.

The American Red Cross is asking for monetary donations for general disaster relief, which this year includes Northwest wildfires. People can donate by going to redcross.org, calling 1-800-RED-CROSS (1-800733-27677) or texting the word REDCROSS to 90999 to make a $10 donation.

The Salvation Army Northwest Division is accepting donations for wildfire relief in Washington and Idaho. Donations can be made online at

www.salvationarmynw. org by clicking on “Donate Now” under the “Wildfires” category. People also can call 1-800-SAL-ARMY (1-800-725-2769) and specify their donation for the northwest wildfires, or mail a check marked “Northwest Fires” to The Salvation Army Northwest Divisional Headquarters, PO Box 9219 Seattle, WA 98109.

The Okanogan County Community Action Council is accepting donations for wildfire victims online at www.occac.com.

Chelan Valley Hope and Give Naked have partnered to raise money for people displaced by wildfires. Donations can be made online at givenaked. org/2015/08/17.

sixth-worst going back to 1960, but it’s the most acreage burned by this date in a decade, so the ranking is sure to rise.

“It’s only Aug. 24th,” Isaacson said. “In our district we could see this go clear to the first of November.”

Thirteen firefighters have died nationwide this year, including the three in Washington state who were killed when they tried to escape the fire in a vehicle, crashed and were overrun by flames.

So many fires are burning in the state that managers are taking extreme measures, summoning help from Down Under and 200 U.S. troops from a base in Tacoma in the first such use of activeduty soldiers in nine years.

Jim Whittington, a Bureau of Land Management

1367633

spokesman in Portland, Oregon, said military assets cannot be used against wildfires until all civilian resources are deployed.

Since 1987, active duty military personnel have been mobilized to serve as wildland firefighters a total of 35 times. The last time was in 2006.

Since then, it has not been necessary to ask for military assistance until this fire season, Forest Service officials said.

Nearly 4,000 volunteers also answered the state’s call for help, far more than will be accepted, said state Department of Natural Resources spokesman Joe Smillie.

The state is looking for former firefighters or heavy equipment operators who can bulldoze fire lines to corral the blazes and keep them from spreading in mountainous,

timber-covered areas. So far, about 200 people with the right experience have been cleared to work.

The 70 firefighters from Australia and New Zealand who arrived at the National Interagency Fire Center in Boise, Idaho, were being outfitted to fill a critical shortage of mid-level fire managers such as equipment bosses, strike team leaders and supervisors.

The Southern Hemisphere nations have been partners with the U.S. for more than 50 years, able to lend out firefighters because the severest part of their fire seasons occur at opposite times of the year.

The last time the U.S. asked for their help was 2008, with 50 firefighters arriving.

The U.S. sent firefighters abroad in 2007.

Chris Arnol, international liaison for Australia and New Zealand

firefighters, said at a news conference in Boise the firefighters will be ready for the mountainous terrain in the Pacific Northwest.

Warren Heslip, a 47-year-old firefighter from Southland, New Zealand, said the new arrivals were ready for the conditions.

“We’re used to tall timber and steep territory,” he said.

Costs for the international firefighters will be paid by the agency they’re assigned to, officials said, though no estimate was yet available.

According to The Wenatchee World, the Wolverine Fire is burning in the uppermost reaches of the Entiat Ranger District and is located on National Forest System lands above Cottonwood and Myrtle Lake. The fire is moving across the Larch Lakes area and toward the Rock Creek drainage on the Wenatchee

River Ranger District side.

With the fire’s potential to spread into the Rock Creek drainage and into the Chiwawa River drainage with only a single road in and out, clearing campers and recreationists from the Chiwawa drainage is being undertaken at this time, said Forest Service spokeswoman Susan Peterson in a press release. Recreationists utilizing the campgrounds and trails within the Chiwawa River drainage are being contacted today and asked to leave. A forest closure is in effect for the area northwest of Grouse Creek Group Campground at the Chikamin Road junction to encompass the entire Chiwawa River drainage, its campgrounds and trails.

This action is being undertaken as a precautionary measure due to unpredictable large fire behavior in the area and

the potential difficulty in evacuating this area in the event of rapid fire spread, Peterson said.

Elsewhere In Southern California, crews used snow-making cannons to blow water and planes dropped fire retardant at a 100-acre wildfire burning near the popular Snow Summit ski resort in Big Bear Lake. They were able to build a perimeter halfway around the blaze, but hundreds of homes remained threatened in the mountainous area about 100 miles east of Los Angeles.

In Montana, firefighters traveled by rail to the edge of a thick forest to build fuel breaks to slow or stop a wildfire creeping toward a major rail line and U.S. 2 on Glacier National Park’s southern boundary.

Scoop F

Herald mascot is ready to smile for selfies at the fair

or 15 years, he has strutted his stuff at Evergreen State Fair, shaking hands and his

tail.

This year, Scoop, the rambunctious Herald mascot, is chillin’. He’s kicked back in a lawn chair, hairy legs crossed, wearing a Seahawks jersey.

What’s up with that?

Instead of some poor Herald worker being stuck inside the dog suit, Scoop has been stuffed with newspapers and transformed into an immobile selfie stud.

He’s a paragon of these selfieobsessed times and a victim of the dog days of summer.

The thick furry costume is really hot to wear. Last person who wore the skin at an event about had heatstroke.

So, to keep up his fair duties, the newshound got benched and dressed as the 12th dog.

Full disclosure: Scoop is a gimmick.

He’s a decoy to lure you to the Herald booth to try to get you to subscribe.

This is, after all the fair, a hotbed of vendors trying to outhawk each other with swag, squeals and deals.

Scoop was put to the test as a selfie magnet last week in the atrium at the Frontier Communications building in Everett where the Herald has offices.

Frontier worker Robin Poharcyk called him “Mr. Beautiful” after snuggling up for a photo.

Scoop has mingled at hundreds of events, schools and ballgames. He’s had his tail pulled, ears yanked and fur petted by thousands of fans. He has run bases, pranced and danced while the person inside tried not to pass out.

“Underneath this happy looking costume there was this sweating, dying blonde guy,” said Herald multimedia sales consultant Tobias Simcox, who was Scoop at this summer’s Mascot Mania.

Snohomish County’s wellknown Reptile Man, Scott Petersen, is passing some of his duties on to his son, Isaac Petersen, 27. Father and son will take turns presenting their reptile show at the Evergreen State Fair beginning this week. To learn more, you can stop by the Reptile Zoo, 22715 U.S. 2, on the east side of Monroe.

What creatures will you bring to the fair for your show?

We will be bringing an African tortoise, iguana, alligator, rattlesnake, cobra, python and a few other surprises.

Do you ever have nervous moments when you handle snakes?

Every once in a while I get a little nervous when we get a new snake that I am not familiar with and it surprises me with a fast strike or jerk of its body.

How do most kids respond to your reptile show?

Most kids are excited with a little bit of fear when we bring each animal out, especially the more dangerous looking snakes.

When you were a kid, did you like watching your dad do his reptile show?

I always enjoyed watching the shows when he was performing for larger groups and watching the reactions of the people to the various animals as they were brought out.

What is your favorite creature at your Reptile Zoo? A rock iguana named Rocky.

He started doing shows with me when I started about 11 years ago.

What is your favorite part of the fair?

The farm animals that you are able to see and touch.

If you could share a meal with anyone from history, who would it be?

Benjamin Franklin, because he was a smart guy and had a good sense of humor.

What has been your proudest moment?

Finishing business school at Brigham Young University.

What about you would people be shocked to know?

In the past year and a half I traveled to Guatemala nine times. My wife is from Guatemala and I visited her during our engagement.

What was the best year of your life so far?

2015. I got married three months ago. Life is good.

What is your pet peeve?

Food being wasted.

What is a guilty pleasure?

Eating too much.

What are three things in your fridge?

Soy milk, mayonnaise, grapes.

What question should I have asked you?

Have you ever eaten a snake?

And, no, I have not.

Sister’s engagement is sister’s business

DAILY CROSSWORD

Carolyn Hax is away. In her absence, we are offering a column from her archive.

Dear Carolyn: My (much) younger sister’s boyfriend is planning to propose on her 21st birthday. I am horrified. My sister still has a year left of college.

Neither one has ever lived independently — they both are living with their parents in our small hometown. The boyfriend, while he has a college degree, only recently took his first salaried job — certainly not a job anyone would want to make into a career. His mom pressured him into immediately buying a condo locally.

Now, I realize everyone has a right to live their own life, and the chances of my changing things are slight, but I feel that, as the older sister, I need to have a heart-toheart with my sister. There is so much to see of life and no rush to get married!

I’ve already given my opinion to the boyfriend, who further convinced me of his immaturity by saying, “Marriage will just be changing the title on our relationship.” My mom told me to back off, but I think she has empty-nest syndrome and grandbaby fever. Do I have a right/obligation to give my opinion to my sister?

— Va.

CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT You have a powerful obligation to bite your tongue. So I’m solidly with your mom here, despite having zero investment in your family’s next generation.

This is your sister’s business. It’s her moment to enjoy (or suffer), and her decision to make. When your sister seeks your opinion, then you can offer it. Don’t worry if she doesn’t ask explicitly; it will be all over your face, body language, sleeve, and maybe a few other articles of clothing.

There are risks to having such strong opinions. While I feel as you do about rushing marriage, I’m also humbled on a daily basis by the complexity of outcomes in life.

Even if your sister does say yes (she might not), and even if she does go through with the wedding (she might not), and even if the marriage does fail (it might not), it may end in

such a way that matures her, awakens something in her, allows her to notice and appreciate someone really good for her.

Your sister will have to find her way. If you must caution her — once — then do so knowing that mistakes can weather into blessings, just as that perfect person who marries at just the right time in the perfect arc of life can get hit by a bus.

Re: Young Marriages: I married too young, to the wrong person, and wound up divorced three years later. Only one friend asked if I was sure about what I was doing. I wasn’t hurt by her question, and went ahead with the wedding anyhow. That same friend was abundantly there for me three years later.

You can bring up concerns, if it’s done in a loving way. But you also have to recognize that people make their own mistakes, and, as family, you’ll have to be there for her either way.

Wife won’t share her workday with husband Dear Abby: I have been married for 36 years to a woman who is a pediatric physical therapist. A number of her youngsters are disabled or abused, and their lives can be a struggle.

This results in emotional, intense workdays for my wife. She brings these stories home and shares them with me.

On three or four occasions I have either told her I didn’t care to hear an emotional story that day, or ignored her when she tried to tell me. The last time I said it was last year, and now she refuses to tell me anything about her workload.

She’s very stubborn, and although I am interested in what she does, she won’t let me apologize. She says she will discuss it only with her fellow therapists at work.

Abby, what can I do to convey to her that I want to share her experiences? — Regretful In Georgia Dear Regretful: If you haven’t been able to get through to your wife by now, probably not much.

There’s a saying that a joy shared is twice a joy and a burden shared is half a burden. When she tried to confide what was weighing on her mind or heart on those occasions, your response was, frankly, unkind. Further, if the treatment she’s giving those children is covered by HIPAA regulations, it’s possible that the only people she should talk to about them are her colleagues.

You may have to find another way to be intimate with your wife besides discussing her workload.

Dear Abby: As chairman of the American Institute of CPAs’ Tax Executive Committee, may I offer some clarification to you and your readers about your answer in your July 13 column titled, “Couple Deep in Tax RIP HAYWIRE

DEAR ABBY Hole Need Help in Climbing Out”? In fact, THREE groups of tax preparers have unlimited practice rights under Department of the Treasury regulations to represent their clients on any matters before the IRS — certified public accountants, attorneys and enrolled agents.

None are more qualified than CPAs. CPAs are licensed by state regulators and must meet minimum education requirements to sit for their national licensing exam and then fulfill ongoing continuing education requirements, as well as abide by a code of professional ethics. Attorneys have a generally similar system.

Enrolled agents are often former IRS employees who are licensed by the IRS after passing an exam. Enrolled agents are competent and respected tax professionals, but the fact they are licensed by the IRS does not mean they are better qualified or superior in serving clients than are CPAs or attorneys.

IRS.gov has a page explaining the different types of tax return preparers and their qualifications, which may be helpful to your readers. — Troy K. Lewis, CPA Dear Mr. Lewis: Thank you for the clarification and for expanding my reply to that letter. It was not my intention to imply that CPAs are less qualified than enrolled agents .

Whales to star in 3-night live show The live whale watch from California’s Monterey Bay will air on three consecutive evenings on PBS beginning Aug. 31.

By David Bauder Associated Press

NEW YORK — PBS is bringing a live whale watch into the nation’s living rooms — and throwing in some seals, sea otters, dolphins and pelicans.

For three evenings starting Aug. 31, the public broadcaster is airing a collaboration with the BBC about marine life in California’s Monterey Bay. “Big Blue Live” will have separate east and west coast feeds.

PBS calls it “one of nature’s great reality shows,” made possible by the bay’s unique geography and a turnaround from severe pollution that curtailed marine life there for many years. Nutrients from deep-water canyons flood the bay at this time of year, turning it into a prime feeding area, said Bill Gardner, PBS vice president for programming and development.

Producers and camera operators are already preparing, having traveled to Mexico to film whales that migrate to Monterey Bay and New Zealand for birds that make the long journey over the Pacific Ocean.

Ships, even drones, are

THE CLICKER Tuesday’s highlights on TV include: “From Dusk Till Dawn” returns for Season 2, and you just know there will be lots of fangs and blood. Joining the creepy fun is Danny Trejo, who plays a brutally evil character called “The Regulator.” 9 p.m., El Rey Network “Public Morals” is a gritty new crime series that whisks viewers back to 1960s New York, where police officer Terry Muldoon (Edward Burns) is part of a squad charged

with enforcing the city’s morality laws. Michael Rapaport also stars. 10 p.m., TNT “Monica the Medium”: This reality series about a college student who can talk to dead people gives a new meaning to the word “reality.”

And that meaning is “fantasy.” 8 p.m., ABC Family “Tough Enough”: Who will be the WWE prom king and queen? Find out in tonight’s season finale.

TODAY IN HISTORY Humpback whales like this one will be featured in“Big Blue Live,” starting Aug. 31 on PBS. The show is a collaboration with the BBC about marine life in California’s Monterey Bay.

being employed to keep producers informed about the areas of greatest animal activity.

The BBC, which is doing its own live broadcasts during the week before U.S. viewers see it, instigated the project. It made perfect sense for PBS to join in, Gardner said.

“This is live natural history that can engage our audience and it was right in our back yard,” he said.

Since no one can be certain that whales will be most active precisely during the broadcasts, stories are being prepared in advance for the quiet times. One story will profile a scientist studying shark migration and another will illustrate the bay’s rejuvenation through the return of sea otters.

The hour-long telecasts

begin at 8 p.m. on both coasts. That’s still late afternoon for east coast viewers, but it will be getting dark for west coast prime time. While that might mean less live footage for western viewers, they’ll also be able to see the transition to nighttime animal activity.

“You can never guarantee anything live,” Gardner said. “But we feel that we’ve hedged our bets so that we can have something that will keep people riveted.”

The U.S. broadcasts have three anchors: M. Sanjayan, a senior scientist at Conservation International; Liz Bonnin, a British host of BBC science programming; and Joy Reidenberg, a marine mammal expert who has been on the PBS shows

PBS

“Inside Nature’s Giants” and “Sex in the Wild.” A website will stream continuous live views from the bay for viewers interested in a deeper dive.

Participants say that all the attention won’t have a negative impact on the animals involved. There are strict rules governing how close observer boats can get to the whales, for example, and it generally takes that professional help to know where the animals are, Reidenberg said.

“It’s a positive thing because people get to interact with the animals and see them, and the more they see the animals, the more they love the animals, and the more they love the animals, the more they want to protect them,” she said.

Today is Tuesday, August 25, the 237th day of 2015. There are 128 days left in the year.

Today’s highlight: On August 25, 1985, Samantha Smith, 13, the schoolgirl whose letter to Yuri V. Andropov resulted in her famous peace tour of the Soviet Union, died with her father, Arthur, and six other people in a commuter plane crash in Auburn, Maine.

On this date: In 1916, the National Park Service was established within the Department of the Interior.

In 1921, the United States signed a peace treaty with Germany.

In 1944, during World War II, Paris was liberated

by Allied forces after four years of Nazi occupation.

Romania declared war on former ally Germany.

In 1958, President Dwight D. Eisenhower

signed a measure providing pensions for former U.S. presidents and their widows.

In 1975, the Bruce Springsteen album “Born to Run” was released by Columbia Records.

In 1980, the Broadway musical “42nd Street” opened. (Producer David Merrick stunned the cast and audience during the curtain call by announcing that the show’s director, Gower Champion, had died earlier that day.)

In 1981, the U.S. spacecraft Voyager 2 came within 63,000 miles of Saturn’s cloud cover, sending back pictures of and data about the ringed planet.

In 2009, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, the liberal lion of the U.S. Senate, died at age 77 in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts, after a battle with a brain tumor.

AquaSox fall 4-3 to Volcanoes

By Jesse Geleynse Herald Writer

EVERETT — The Everett AquaSox bullpen was stellar Monday, no question about it.

Unfortunately for Everett, the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes had already done their damage at the plate before the bullpen got the call.

The Volcanoes scored all four of their runs in the second inning and it proved to be enough as Salem-Keizer snapped Everett’s three-game winning streak with a 4-3 victory over the AquaSox before 1,470 fans at Everett Memorial Stadium.

The second half North Division-leading AquaSox fell to 15-11 in second-half action and 37-27 overall. The Volcanoes (13-13, 32-32) continued their mastery of Everett as SalemKeizer improved to 5-2 against the AquaSox this season.

By David Krueger MILL CREEK — Jack Doney has spent three years in the Jackson football program working his way to this point.

The 6-foot-6 senior, who served as the backup for Alex Cheesman last season, will take over behind center for the Timberwolves this year as Jackson looks to improve after a 2-8 campaign in 2014.

“Jack Doney has done everything he can do to win that job and it looks like it’s his,” said Jackson head coach Joel Vincent.

SEATTLE — After offseason knee surgery and months of rehabilitation, Dexter Charles was looking forward to his senior season at the University of Washington.

Never did he imagine that he was facing the end of his football career.

But football, like life, can sometimes present unexpected, even cruel setbacks. Last week Charles was told that his ailing left knee — the same knee he had surgically repaired earlier in the year — would not allow him to play his final college season.

RENTON — The constant shuffling along the Seattle Seahawks’ offensive line could be coming to an end.

Head coach Pete Carroll and offensive line coach Tom Cable said Monday that the starting five the Seahawks used in last week’s preseason loss at Kansas City could be the unit that starts Week 1 of the regular season against St. Louis.

It’s been an arduous stretch through the first three weeks of training camp for the Seahawks trying to get their offensive line settled. But Cable and Carroll are moving forward with the current configuration in the hope that a solid performance in this week’s preseason game at San Diego will be validation it’s the right group.

“We’ll see if they can hold it together and hold off the other guys that are battling with them but we feel good enough about it,” Carroll said. “We like the way that they mix together and they have a real chance.”

The two spots on the line that have been settled from the start have been left tackle with Russell Okung and right guard with J.R. Sweezy. But center, right tackle and left guard have been a revolving door of players working with the first unit.

The latest adjustment last week had starting right tackle Justin Britt move to left guard and backup Garry Gilliam, in his second season, step in at right tackle.

Seattle also had Drew Nowak, a former defensive tackle in college, stepping in as the starting center.

The results were mixed.

Seattle’s offense failed to score a touchdown against the Chiefs and running lanes were scarce. But the protection for

Packers’ WR Nelson out for the season Associated Press GREEN BAY, Wis. — Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jordy Nelson will miss the 2015 season with a knee injury.

Nelson, one of the top targets for NFL MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers, was injured Sunday in a preseason loss at Pittsburgh. The team said Monday only that he suffered a “significant right knee injury” that would cost him the season.

Green Bay coach Mike McCarthy said the team had hoped for good news in a re-evaluation of Nelson’s injury. Instead, the Packers will be without a playmaker who set career highs in receptions (98) and yards receiving (1,519) in 2014.

Hoyer to start for Texans HOUSTON — Brian Hoyer was named the Houston Texans’ starting quarterback.

Hoyer had been competing with Ryan Mallett for the job. Hoyer started 13 games for the Cleveland Browns last season before signing with the Texans in the offseason.

Vincent said with a laugh. “You’ll see some new wrinkles but our base stuff is our base stuff.”

Doney is one of a key group of seniors that are hoping to return the Jackson program to prominence. The Timberwolves won a league title in 2012 but are coming off a season that saw them go 0-7 in Wesco 4A. “I think we’re just trying to get this program back to where it was four or five years ago,” said senior lineman Ryan Fee, a four-year starter for Jackson. “We let it go down a little bit but now we’ve got to get it back to how it was. ... People are really excited and

RENTON — How much longer can the Seattle Seahawks wait before determining Kam Chancellor won’t be beginning the regular season with them?

How late is too late for him, not fill-in Dion Bailey, to play strong safety in the opener Sept. 13?

Head coach Pete Carroll listened to that question, paused, then said for the second time in three minutes: “Nothing’s changed.”

That was on Monday, the 25th day of Seattle’s team leader holdout from this preseason.

His protracted stance could cost the star strong safety and Seahawks core player fines now approaching the maximum preseason sanction of $1.14 million as defined by the league’s collective bargaining agreement: $30,000 per day times 38 days of training camp that by league definition ends with the start of the regular season next month.

Article 4, section 9.a. ii. of that CBA effective from August 2011 into 2020 states if “such absence continues into the regular season ... the player may be required to forfeit an additional 25 percent of (his prorated signing bonus) upon missing the first regular season game. If such absence continues beyond the fourth week of the regular season, the player may be required to forfeit up to ... one seventeenth (of his signing-bonus proration) for each missed regular season week after the fourth week.”

For Chancellor, that means he could get fined an additional $250,000 if he still hasn’t reported to the team by its Sept. 13 opener at St. Louis, and another $58,824 per game (1/17th of his $1 million signing-bonus proration for 2015, of the $5 million signing bonus he got on his extension before the 2013 season) beginning after Seattle’s Monday night home game Oct. 5 against Detroit.

Not that the Seahawks would ever try to collect that.

The CBA article on holdouts and fines also makes clear “the maximum permitted forfeitures described below do not in any way obligate any ... Club to agree to any forfeiture.”

But the Seahawks remain dug in on their stance of not redoing contracts that still have multiple years left on them — and certainly not three seasons, as Chancellor’s does through 2017. If the team were to set that precedent with Chancellor, general manager John Schneider would have a conga line of veteran starters lining up

quarterback Russell Wilson was solid coming against the Chiefs’ talented defensive front.

“A little more consistency.

Really good communication.

Probably the most impressive thing was making some moves and then having everybody be on the same page,” Cable said.

While it seems set that Britt and Gilliam will remain in their positions, center appears to be

have a lot of energy. We want to get this program back to where it needs to be and where it has been in the past. That’s why I think everyone’s really excited to be out here.”

“This year there’s a significant change in the attitude of the players around here,” Doney said. “Even in summer weight room (workouts) numbers were through the roof. The coaching staff is bringing a different attitude to the table that I think the players like. Compared to last season, there’s been an energy boost. Practices are more lively and interactive. I think that’s a clue as to how the season is going to go.”

Vincent said the biggest thing key to Jackson’s success this season is health. Last year, the

outside his door in the future wanting to get theirs now, too, demanding guaranteed cash now no matter how many seasons a player has remaining on his contract.

Chancellor sees his career mortality is clearer terms than ever. Though “just” 27, his body is much older. This is the first of six NFL offseasons he hasn’t had a surgery, yet that was after he played the Super Bowl Feb. 1 with a torn medialcollateral ligament in his knee.

He doesn’t know how many seasons he may have left in his battered body beyond this one, so he understandably wants to get any and all cash he can while he possible can.

The Seahawks also know Chancellor’s thumping, painful style may not enable him to play many more seasons. That is why they didn’t give him in his 2013 extension any more guaranteed money beyond this season’s $4.55 million base salary with $4.45 million of it guaranteed. They didn’t want to guarantee 2016 and 2017 seasons that the team, and even perhaps Chancellor himself, aren’t convinced he’ll be physically able to play.

Therein lies the impasse.

to ensure it was doing something to address what Seattle’s coach sees as unnecessary hits on quarterbacks.

Carroll’s interest in the subject is obvious. Seattle runs quarterback Russell Wilson on read-option handoff-or-keep plays as much as or more than any team during the regular season.

“I have seen a couple of them and I really thought they were worthy of being noted as penalty plays,” Carroll said of such hits on QBs. “Obviously we’re really tuned into that.

“We’re counting on the league to do a really good job of doing that well so we take care of the QBs. You can force this thing about they’re a runner. When they don’t have the ball in their hands and the ball is already handed off and gone, guys need to make good decisions, hopefully. So we’ll be very much part of that discussion if things continue like it’s going, because it’s not right.

“We have been involved with that discussion with the league since Russell has been here. ... I’m anxious to see what comes of it because certainly it’s not the way we want it to go.”

Carroll said the league usually sends to team updates on what its officials are emphasizing in a given week.

“I’ll be really surprised if we don’t get something from them about it (this week),” he said.

Extra points

When Sam Bradford got hit low

by Baltimore’s Terrell Suggs this past weekend in an exhibition game in Philadelphia after handing off on a read-option play, Carroll felt it across the country.

The referee flagged Suggs for roughing the passer Saturday night.

Monday the league’s director of officiating Dean Blandino told its network Suggs should not have been penalized because “it’s not a foul by rule.”

A couple hours later Carroll was coming off the practice field on his way into his office to call the league

DBs Richard Sherman, Will Blackmon, Tharold Simon and Marcus Burley all were back at practice off injuries. Expect all to play Saturday’s third exhibition game at San Diego. ... Carroll said free-agent G Evan Mathis’ visit to the Seahawks went “very well” Saturday and that the 33-year-old twotime Pro Bowl selection “would obviously bring us experience.” But “there’s a lot of issues” — including how relatively little Seattle can play him. ... Carroll also said the starting offensive line last week and this of LT Russell Okung, LG Justin Britt, C Drew Nowak, RG J.R. Sweezy and RT Garry Gilliam have “a real chance” to start the regular season, provided this week goes well.

the one remaining competition.

Veteran Lemuel Jeanpierre started the preseason opener against Denver, with Nowak getting the nod against Kansas City.

Nowak was a defensive tackle in college at Western Michigan and the Mid-American Conference defensive player of the year as a senior. He started the transition to offense with Jacksonville in 2012 and spent last season on Seattle’s practice squad.

“He’s stronger than the guys that we’ve played with over

the years,” Carroll said. “He’s got hand strength. He’s a brute in there and a very physical player. He’s really smart. He understands it. Of course he’s still learning. This is still new to him. But because he’s applied himself so well and he’s a good competitor, and he’s got this nice strength about him.”

The Seahawks are also still seeing what’s out there. Veteran Evan Mathis visited the Seahawks over the weekend and Carroll said there could be others they bring in for a look.

Carroll calls NFL

Timberwolves suffered more than their fair share of seasonending injuries.

“First and foremost, we’ve got to stay healthy. We went through a rash of injuries last year like I’ve never seen,” Vincent said. “And they weren’t just the ones kids get and were nagging but you could play. These were knees and broken collarbones and backs. We lost players and we lost them for the year.”

One of those players, running back Andrew Cho, suffered a torn posterior cruciate ligament after a promising start to the season.

Cho is back, says he’s “100 percent” and eager to get back on the field.

“Standing on the sideline and watching your teammates out there, knowing you could be

doing something to help us win or do better, it sucks just lingering on the sideline,” Cho said. “You feel invisible. The coaching staff is looking for players to throw in and, unfortunately, I couldn’t be one of those players. I’m hoping for a healthy senior season.

“I just want to see how far we can take our team.”

As opposed to previous seasons when Jackson teams would call out “state” or “league champs” when making goals, this year’s squad is taking a weekby-week approach to the 2015 season.

“Not look as far forward saying, ‘State,’ or anything. We’re just going to take it one week at a time,” Fee said. “Really focus on the week ahead and not look too far forward or you’ll lose now.

IndyCar driver Wilson dies of head injury Associated Press IndyCar driver Justin Wilson died from a head injury suffered when a piece of debris struck him at Pocono Raceway. He was 37.

IndyCar made the announcement on Monday night at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Wilson is a British driver who lived outside Denver in Longmont, Colorado. He was hit in the head during Sunday’s race by piece of debris that had broken off another car. Wilson’s car veered into an interior wall at the track, and he was swiftly taken by helicopter to a hospital in Allentown, Pennsylvania.

“Can’t even begin to describe the loss I feel right now. He was my Brother, my best friend, my role model and mentor. He was a champion!” his younger brother, Stefan, also an IndyCar driver, tweeted.

The last IndyCar driver to die because of an on-track incident was Indianapolis 500 champion Dan Wheldon, who was killed in the 2011 season finale at Las Vegas after his head hit a post when his car went airborne.

“Justin’s elite ability to drive a race car was matched by his unwavering kindness, character and humility — which is what made him one of the most respected members of the paddock,” said Mark Miles, CEO of Hulman & Co., the parent company of IndyCar and Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

After Wheldon’s death, Wilson became one of three driver representatives to serve as a liaison between the competitors and IndyCar. It was no surprise: The 6-foot-4 Wilson, easily the tallest in the series, was well liked.

He won seven times over 12 seasons in open-wheel racing and finished as high as fifth in the Indianapolis 500. An acclaimed sports car racer, Wilson won the prestigious 24 Hours of Daytona with Michael Shank Racing, and he competed in 20 Formula One races in 2003 before moving to the U.S. to join Champ Car. He finished third in the Champ Car standings in 2005, and was runner-up in both 2006 and 2007.

To support his career, his management team in 2003 created a program that allowed fans to invest in the driver. Hundreds of people bought shares in Wilson, who was dyslexic and a strong supporter of foundations related to the disorder.

Wilson, a native of Sheffield, England, entered this season without a full-time ride.

He latched on with Andretti Autosport and was in the sixth of seven scheduled races with the team. The agreement began as a two-race deal for events at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and then was increased to the final five races of the year. The IndyCar season concludes Sunday in Sonoma, California.

Andretti Autosport called Wilson “a tremendous racer, a valuable member of the team and respected representative to our sport.”

“While Justin was only part of the Andretti lineup for a short time, it only took a second for him to forever become part of the Andretti family,” the team said. “His life and racing career is a story of class and passion surpassed by none. Our thoughts and prayers remain with the Wilson family and fans worldwide.

Godspeed, JW.” In addition to his wife, Julia, Wilson has two daughters, 7 and 5.

... When I was a young guy I’d always look up at the seniors and hope I could be as good as they were when I get to that age. Now, I just hope I can find those young guys and try to help them out and get them better.”

Cho, too, hopes to have a fun season and spend some quality time with his fellow Timberwolves.

“To make memories as a team,” Cho said. “To make big plays.

Even if we don’t win, just make a lot of memorable plays with your teammates. Especially, the seniors now that it’s their last year and we won’t have another go at it. It’s only our first week of practice but in terms of looking ahead I think we’re headed in the right direction. I think we’re looking up.”

AquaSox From page C1

prospect Luiz Gohara lasted just 11⁄3 innings before he was chased after walking in a run and allowing another on an RBI single.

Steven Duggar greeted reliever Darin Gillies with a two-run double which one-hopped the fence in right field as the Volcanoes took a 4-1 lead. Both runs were charged to Gohara.

That was virtually the only blemish for Gillies and the rest of the bullpen. Gillies allowed just one more hit and fanned seven in 42⁄3 innings of scoreless relief.

Spencer Herrmann and Matt Clancy combined for three more scoreless innings.

The Salem-Keizer bullpen was even better. Nate Santiago and Ryan Halstead combined for three perfect innings in relief of winning pitcher Nolan Riggs (4-2) as the final 11 AquaSox hitters went down in order.

Trailing 4-1 in the bottom of the third, Everett’s Taylor Zeutenhorst led off the bottom of the third with a double and scored on Erick Mejia’s groundout.

The AquaSox cut the deficit to 4-3 in the bottom of the fifth only to squander an opportunity to tie or take the lead. The first three hitters reached and Yordi Calderon scored on a Mejia RBI fielder’s choice.

Mejia stole second as Luis Liberato worked a full count. But Liberato’s at-bat culminated with a bat-shattering soft liner to Salem-Keizer second baseman Richard Amion, who gloved the ball and out-raced Mejia back to the bag to complete the unassisted inning-ending double play.

That was it for the scoring.

Athletics 11, Mariners 5

TED S. WARREN / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Athletics second baseman Brett Lawrie reaches to catch the throw before tagging the Mariners’ Robinson Cano, who was attempting to steal second base in the second inning of Monday’s game. Cano was initially ruled safe, but the call was challenged by the A’s, and Cano was ruled out after the video review.

Can it get any worse?

Mariners blow 5-0 lead, fall 11-5 to Athletics

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

SEATTLE — Not to say things can’t get worse for the Seattle Mariners. There are 37 more games remaining in the season.

So opportunities abound, but … Monday night will be tough to top.

They built a five-run lead at home against the club with the American League’s worst record.

They had Hisashi Iwakuma on the mound; he had won his previous three decisions, including a no-hitter in his last start at Safeco Field.

And they lost 11-5 to the Oakland Athletics, who had to patch together seven innings from their bullpen after starter Felix Doubront exited because of a bruised right foot.

Hoo-boy.

Maybe there have been worse losses in this dreadfully disappointing season. It’s a debatable point, certainly. But consider: Iwakuma (5-3) seemed to be in top form. He had permitted just one infield single when he carried a 5-0 lead into the fifth inning — a fifth inning he never completed after giving up seven two-out runs.

Again … seven two-out runs.

Two defensive misplays hurt.

The inning started when left fielder Mark Trumbo couldn’t make a play on Stephen Vogt’s leadoff flare, which turned into a double.

And the inning should have ended on Josh Reddick’s twoout grounder to first with a runner on second. But first baseman Jesus Montero, after waving off Iwakuma, couldn’t beat Reddick to the base.

Mark Canha kept running and scored the tying run from second.

The News Tribune

SEATTLE — When it comes to the Seattle Mariners’ rotation, there are just two certainties over the final six weeks: Felix Hernandez and Hisashi Iwakuma will, barring injuries, make their scheduled starts.

Everything else is up in the air.

Manager Lloyd McClendon reiterated Monday that righthander Taijuan Walker and lefty Mike Montgomery are pushing up against their workload limits.

“I think it’s safe to say this,” McClendon said, “‘Are we concerned about their innings?’

Yeah. Sure, we are.”

The Mariners believe lefty Vidal Nuno fits best as a swingman, pitching extended innings as a reliever while drawing an occasional start. But they might have no choice but to keep him in the rotation.

Left-hander Roenis Elias, recalled Sunday from TripleA Tacoma, figures to rejoin the rotation at some point this weekend against the White Sox in Chicago.

Elias was scheduled to pitch Sunday for Tacoma, prior to his recall, and could work in relief at some point in the current series against Oakland in order to stay sharp.

Once Elias rejoins the rotation, he should remain there through the end of the season.

His workload through the end of the season doesn’t figure to be a factor.

Elias pitched 1682⁄3 innings last season, which puts his preferred maximum at 190-plus. He is currently at 1391⁄3 innings, counting his time with the Mariners and at Tacoma.

Lefty James Paxton, out since May 28, made his first rehab start Sunday at Tacoma, but he failed to get through the first

MARINERS | Notebook TED S. WARREN / ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Mariners’ Hisashi Iwakuma allowed seven runs in the fifth inning.

Danny Valencia followed with a two-run homer that ended Iwakuma’s night at seven runs and seven hits in 42⁄3 innings.

It got worse before the game ended.

Oakland added a run in the seventh on another misplay.

Canha flicked a one-out single to left and went to second when Trumbo’s throw back to the infield was over the head of shortstop Ketel Marte and hopped past an inattentive Robinson Cano at second base.

Officially, error to Trumbo — and the Athletics cashed in when Reddick sent a single into center.

Reddick’s two-out homer in the ninth fueled a three-run burst against David Rollins that closed the scoring.

Sheesh.

The Athletics used four relievers. Edward Mujica (3-4) got the victory for pitching two scoreless innings. Drew Pomeranz closed it out in a non-save situation.

Doubront took a Cano liner off the foot in the first inning but worked through the second before Oakland dug into its bullpen. The Mariners immediately jumped Evan Scribner for five runs in the third.

Marte opened the inning with a double and stole third.

After Seager struck out, Cruz was hit by a pitch on his right elbow. That extended Cruz’s streak to 34 games of reaching base — the hard way.

Cano lined an RBI single into center for a 1-0 lead, and Franklin Gutierrez followed with a three-run homer over the centerfield fence. The 408-foot drive was his eighth homer of the year and fifth in his last 13 games.

The Mariners weren’t done.

Trumbo sent a two-out drive to left that remained just fair for another homer and a 5-0 lead.

Then everything went south.

Vogt’s leadoff floater to left in the fifth fell in front of Trumbo and kicked away for a double.

Trumbo appeared to play the ball as well as possible; he just couldn’t get there.

Billy Butler’s one-out walk, and Eric Sogard’s two-out single loaded the bases for Billy Burns, who yanked a two-run double to right.

Canha followed with a tworun double just fair past third before the Athletics pulled even on Montero’s mistake.

When Valencia sent an Iwakuma splitter over the left-field wall for a two-run homer, the Athletics led 7-5. Again, all seven runs scored with two outs.

Iwakuma was done. So, too, as it turned out, were the Mariners.

Mariners’ starting rotation up in the air

Oakland Burns cf Canha 1b Reddick rf Valencia 3b Vogt c Lawrie 2b B.Butler dh Crisp lf Fuld lf Sogard ss Totals Seattle K.Marte ss Seager 3b N.Cruz rf Cano 2b Gutierrez dh A.Jackson cf Trumbo lf J.Montero 1b Zunino c Totals

inning before getting pulled after 35 pitches against Memphis at Cheney Stadium.

The big plus, as Paxton told The News Tribune afterward, is he “felt great” with “no pain at all” in his middle finger. He also pushed his pitch count to 50 by going to the bullpen after leaving the game.

The downside is building endurance requires the up-anddown cycle of pitching multiple innings. That means he is likely to require at least two more rehab starts before rejoining the big-league rotation.

That projects, as a best-case scenario,for Paxton to return to the Mariners on Labor Day — or roughly when Walker and Montgomery will be hitting their preferred innings’ limits.

Once Paxton returns, he should remain in the rotation through the end of the season. Even then, he will be hard-pressed to finish the season

with 100 innings, which means his workload must be watched in 2016.

The Mariners would like to get Walker and Montgomery to about 175 innings, which would position both next season for 200 innings.

Walker is currently at 1562⁄3 innings. While that is more he pitched last season (129 innings), he logged 1561⁄3 innings in 2013. Clubs generally look back two years in applying a 25-30 inning maximum increase.

In short: Walker, 23, projects to get three more starts.

Montgomery’s situation is slightly different. He enters his start Tuesday at 1412⁄3 innings, counting his time earlier this season at Tacoma.

While he only worked roughly 130 innings in the two previous years, he is older, at 26, and hit 150 innings in 2011 and 2012.

Counting Tuesday, he probably has four starts remaining.

Cruz extends on-base streak to 34 games Right fielder Nelson Cruz extended his career-best streak of having reached base successfully to 34 straight games Monday when he was hit by a pitch in the third inning. It was the longest streak this year by an American League player.

Cruz is also within reach of the franchise’ homer record for August. He had 10 this month, prior to Monday’s game. The club record for August is 12 by Ken Griffey Jr. in 1997. Alex Rodriguez hit 11 in 1999.

Postseason odds With six weeks remaining, entering Monday, the Mariners had a tragic number of 32 for elimination from postseason contention.

Fangraphs.com offers a better perspective in suggesting, from computer simulations, the Mariners have just a 0.9-percent chance to returning to postseason for the first time since 2001.

That breaks down as a 0.1 percent chance of winning the division, and a 0.8 percent chance of gaining a wild-card.

Fangraphs projects the Mariners to finish the season at 76-86, which would require a 19-19 closing run.

Minor details Short-A Everett swept the weekly awards for Aug. 17-23 in the Northwest League.

Center fielder Braden Bishop, 22, was picked as the player of the week after batting .385 (10-for-26) with two homers and nine RBI in six games.

Left-hander Joe Pistorese, 22, was chosen as the pitcher of the week after working 71⁄3 scoreless innings in two appearances. He gave up one hit and one walk while striking out nine.

Bishop was the Mariners’ third-round pick in the June draft after a standout career at Washington. He is batting .316 overall at Everett, through Sunday, in 52 games.

Pistorese was the club’s 17th-round pick in June. He is 6-0 with a 1.43 ERA in 14 relief outings. He has 40 strikeouts and six walks in 37 2/3 innings.

SHORT HOPS Tom Wilhelmsen’s return to closer duty Sunday apparently wasn’t a one-day promotion. Manager Lloyd McClendon said Wilhelmsen (and not Carson Smith) would close Monday in a save situation.

McClendon also said he would continue to reevaluate the situation. ... Franklin Gutierrez started Monday for the 10th time (and played for the 12th time) in 13 games. He was, prior to Monday, batting .306 in that span (11-for-36) with three homers and 10 RBI. ... Oakland fired third-base coach Mike Gallego and replaced him with former Texas manager Ron Washington. The Athletics were tied with Detroit for most runners (19) thrown out at the plate.

After wild recruiting ride, Gardenhire hopes to start for Washington

By Christian Caple The News-Tribune

SEATTLE — The series of events that led to Darren Gardenhire’s eventual arrival at the University of Washington began, in a domino-effect kind of way, with USC. If the Trojans hadn’t fired coach Lane Kiffin midway through the 2013 season, they wouldn’t have needed to replace him. And if they hadn’t decided to replace him with former Huskies coach Steve Sarkisian, then UW wouldn’t have needed to replace Sarkisian with Chris Petersen, who had spent the previous eight seasons as head coach at Boise State.

What does any of that have to do with Gardenhire, now a sophomore cornerback for the Huskies who could make his first career start when UW begins the season Sept. 4 at Boise State?

A lot, actually.

Gardenhire says he always liked UW, and that as a young high-schooler from Long Beach, California, he visited the UW campus — Huskies tailback Dwayne Washington is his cousin, and he knew some other players, too — and came away wowed by how “different” it looked.

“You never see anything like this coming from L.A.,” Gardenhire said after UW’s Monday practice. “You don’t see stuff like this, how clean it is out here, and the campus, what it looked like, and the atmosphere.”

But Sarkisian and his staff hadn’t shown much interest in the three-star defensive back. Petersen, however, liked him plenty, and Boise State was one of the first schools to offer him a scholarship.

Gardenhire, though, had offers from two other Pac-12 schools — Washington State and Utah — and eventually committed to the Cougars on Nov. 24, 2013, nine days before Sarkisian left UW for USC, and 12 days before Petersen agreed to leave Boise State for UW. That could not have been better news for Gardenhire. He liked Petersen and his staff, but said he didn’t think the scholarship numbers at Boise State would work in his favor.

If Petersen still wanted him at UW, though?

“I told them if they come here, I’ll commit here,” Gardenhire said, “because I always wanted to come here anyway.”

UW defensive backs coach Jimmy Lake said Gardenhire was one of his top recruiting priorities upon accompanying Petersen to Washington — “we loved his length, loved his competitiveness,” Lake said — and it didn’t take much urging to get him on board. Gardenhire

decommitted from WSU the day the Huskies offered him a scholarship.

“Once we got the job here,” Lake said, “I think he knew right away he was going to take the commitment and be a Husky.”

With their secondary thinned by graduation, Gardenhire became one of four true freshmen defensive backs to play for the Huskies in 2014, though he mostly contributed on special teams and rarely saw the field as a defensive player.

After a senior season at Cabrillo High School in which he played receiver, safety and returned kicks and punts, adjusting to the college game as a cornerback wasn’t easy.

“All I was thinking about was playing.

I just wanted to play,” Gardenhire said.

“And I got out there and saw how fast everything was moving and I was like, ‘Do I do this? Do I do that?’ And there’s 70,000 people here. I’m just like, ‘What am I supposed to do?’ It was kind of tough to get used to, just the speed of the game, knowing your assignment.”

He spent the offseason working individually with now-former graduate assistant Gerald Alexander, “just going over everything so I can understand the whole defense — not just my job, but understanding why I’m doing what I’m doing and why I have to be where I am.”

The extra effort seems to have paid off. Gardenhire has been a fixture since spring at the starting cornerback spot opposite fellow sophomore Sidney Jones.

That duo has taken nearly all of the firstteam repetitions throughout training camp, too, and though junior Kevin King is also an intriguing corner option for the Huskies, Gardenhire seems the favorite to start.

Lake praises Gardenhire’s ball skills, which were on display when the 5-foot11, 185-pound corner intercepted a pass and returned it 100 yards for a touchdown during UW’s “spring preview” in April. He’s snagged a handful of interceptions throughout camp, too.

So after a freshman season in which he admits “I didn’t really know what I was doing,” Gardenhire suddenly has the opportunity to be a Day 1 starter as a sophomore.

“I pay attention more to the defense and just know what I’m supposed to do,” Gardenhire said, “and understanding my technique and everything that I’m looking for in the defense and just settling down, instead of going out there and being so shaky.”

Said Lake: “We saw Darren as an athletic guy that had great ball skills, long, good speed, that could play corner. And right now he’s showing he’s doing a good job of it.”

WSU has plenty of options, choices to make at linebacker

By Jacob Thorpe The Spokesman-Review

PULLMAN — Washington State’s veteran-laden linebacker corps presents an enviable dilemma to assistant coaches Ken Wilson and Roy Manning: Experience or exceptional athletic ability?

The coaches will choose experience – it won’t be a difficult choice. Returning starters Jeremiah Allison and Peyton Pelluer will see the majority of defensive snaps at the Will and Mike inside linebacker positions, respectively.

At the outside rush linebacker position, Kache Palacio and Ivan McLennan will seek to improve on their combined 11 sacks from last season. The three starters and McLennan have played well throughout the preseason and are clearly WSU’s best options for 2015.

“I would like to play everybody, have roles for all those guys, but if I can’t trust them they won’t be out there,” Wilson said.

The starters have also emerged as defensive leaders, ratcheting up the intensity in practice to the point where the coaches seem to spend as much time reminding defenders that the quarterbacks are off-limits as they do pumping them up.

“At least it’s nothing on effort or nothing on anything bad,” Allison said. “It’s, ‘Stay off our quarterback,’ but we’re going to get after the quarterback.”

But after two successful cycles of recruiting linebackers, the Cougars have a group of young backups whose athletic abilities are frequently superior to those of the starters.

McLennan and Palacio, for example, are surely the most athletic linebackers returning off last year’s defense. But Dylan Hanser, a sophomore from Billings, has better foot speed than either.

And he’s still growing into his 6-foot4, 230-pound body, having put on 16 pounds in the last year.

“He looks like a different person,”

Manning said. “He made some weight gains, strength gains, he did a great job all summer.”

Hanser won’t recognize and react to plays as quickly as the two veterans ahead of him. But on plays when the rush linebacker has a clear shot at the opposing quarterback, it will be tough not to look at the sophomore on the sideline and think that he could get home the quickest.

Freshman Logan Tago is among the most tantalizing athletes on the team – he was a bully during WSU’s first scrimmage, collecting four sacks. But the coaches aren’t even sure which position he will ultimately play, or if he will even stay on defense.

Redshirt freshman Chandler Leniu and sophomore Frankie Luvu bring size and an ability to punish ballcarriers at inside linebacker. Though Wilson would like to see Leniu play at about 250-pounds — he’s listed at 261 — and Luvu needs to improve in pass coverage, their ability to swiftly punish opponents in the middle of the field may trump that of the starter.

“He’s got a big frame,” said Wilson of Leniu. “He’s fully muscled up so if we can keep him moving fast, we’ll be in good shape.”

How versatile is Luvu? Last year he played everything from inside linebacker to Buck — similar to the rush linebacker position — and even punted for the Cougars during spring practices.

A smidgeon of knowledge to go with that natural ability could give Cougars a bevy of options to adapt to opposing offenses, or simply to keep the starters fresh.

“I’d like to give (Allison and Pelluer) some rest,” said Wilson, who coaches the inside linebackers. “We’d like to have a lot of different bodies, keep them fresh. It’s a long season, and the more bodies we can get out there, the more depth out there, the better off we’ll be in the end.”

Sounders don’t look forward to white-knuckle landing

Charles From Page C1

By Don Ruiz

fluid. A subsequent MRI revealed an absence of cartilage, which meant the knee bones were rubbing together.

In fact, Charles said, “they were rubbing together so hard that the bones themselves were bleeding. That’s where the blood was coming from.”

He was given the option of still trying to play, but it would have meant sitting out the ensuing 2-3 weeks to give his knee time to recover. “I knew that didn’t make much sense,” he said, “so I had to make the decision that it was in my best interest to medically retire.”

“I’m still coming to terms with this,” he said softly. “I’ll hold my helmet and look at it and think, ‘Wow, what happened?’ It still doesn’t feel real.”

The greatest disappointment, he went on, is not just “leaving the game, but the way it was taken from me. I don’t get to play my last year and that’s heartbreaking. ... I would’ve loved to go out on my own terms, but you don’t always get to choose that.”

His forced retirement follows another severe blow for Charles and his family earlier this year. In March, their home on Camano Island burned down and they lost most of their belongings. Charles lost everything except what he had taken with him to Seattle.

“The last five months have been pretty crazy,” he said. “Life will throw you crazy things.”

Still, there is some good news. Doctors have recommended a corrective operation in a few weeks, during which they plan to move his patella tendon to provide cushion and stability.

“This surgery isn’t meant for me to come back and play football,” he said.

“It’s meant that I can play catch with my kids and walk a mile and do things (in later life) without having my knee hurt.”

In the meantime, Charles wants to stay involved with football. He plans to remain at Washington this season, helping out where he can. After that he hopes to become a graduate assistant for the Huskies or at another school, and all with the goal of becoming a college coach someday.

“I don’t want to lose this game,” said Charles, who graduated in the spring with a degree in anthropology. “I love football and I love everything about it. My five- or 10-year plan is to get into coaching and start rolling with that.”

UW head coach Chris Petersen and offensive line coach Chris Strausser “are pushing me towards it,” he added. “They believe that I could make a great coach and I buy into that idea.”

During the occasional dark moments, Charles finds solace in the many remaining blessings in his life. He likewise draws encouragement from his mother, Becky Charles, who has persevered despite a back injury about 10 years ago that causes her “to live in chronic pain every single day,” he said.

“Watching her go through all that pain — she walks with a cane — is hard. There’s one woman I love with all my heart and it’s my mom. I’d do anything for her. ... I’ve learned a lot of toughness from my family. People assume that I grew up tough because my dad was a Marine, but a lot of the toughness I learned was from my mom. She’s a warrior, she really is.”

That type of perspective has helped Charles get past the occasional “Why me?” moments that followed his sudden retirement. He has also dealt with other injuries in his UW career, and underwent three shoulder surgeries prior to last season.

At times in the last week, he said, “I was like, ‘Why does this stuff always happen?’ But then I realized, ‘You know what, this is life.’ I can’t sit around and say woe is me. There are so many people out there going through so many different things and they’re worse than my situation.

“And you know what, I have a good life. I can’t complain. I’m part of a great football team. I graduated from a great university. And I’ll have an opportunity to try to coach. If I hang my head and say, ‘Poor me,’ I’m not going to get anywhere. And I wasn’t raised like that. ... I want to focus on what I do have and what I can achieve from here.”

Being on the sidelines this season “will be hard,” he said. “This will be the first time at Husky Stadium that I won’t run out of the tunnel in shoulder pads getting ready to play.”

But as he begins a new phase of life, he takes with him a great many wonderful memories.

“Nothing beats the feeling of running out of that tunnel with the siren and the smoke, and with thousands of fans cheering,” Charles said.

“Nothing beats scoring a big touchdown in a tight game, winning games you’re not supposed to win, and just being with the guys and having fun.”

The News Tribune

TUKWILA — The Seattle Sounders’ flight home from their weekend 2-0 loss in Utah might have seemed long.

But their current trip actually is long — more than 3,000 miles concluding Tuesday with a white-knuckle landing at one of the world’s most dangerous airports: Toncontin International in Tegucigalpa, Honduras.

“I’m not a big fan of flying into Tegucigalpa,” coach Sigi Schmid said when his team’s CONCACAF Champions League group was announced.

“That’s not my favorite airport. ... It’s one of the most dangerous airports to fly into. You can look that up. It’s, like, right on a cliff, so if you don’t take off in time, you’re over the cliff. When you bank in there, you almost feel like you can touch the dirt.”

The Sounders split the 3,000-mile trip to Honduras into two legs. The team flew to Houston after training Monday. They will complete the journey Tuesday.

“At least that way the guys get a good night’s sleep, and it breaks up the travel day,” Schmid said. “Plus you can’t land in Tegucigalpa at night anyway.”

That landing is no picnic in daytime, either.

The airport regularly shows up among the most dangerous airports in the world — often first or second. The primary dangers are the

area’s mountainous terrain, an extremely short runway, and that cliff awaiting at the end. An internet search turns up several videos showing what it’s like.

Schmid, however, doesn’t want to watch.

“I’m going to have my window shade down and try to fall asleep,” he said.

Once safely back on sweet Mother Earth, the Sounders will overnight in Tegucigalpa before their Wednesday CCL match with CD Olimpia.

And that could be a test of courage, too. Things got rough at the end of the Sounders’ 2-1 home win last week, and there is no expectation that the Lions — or their fans — have forgiven or forgotten.

The Sounders are early leaders atop Group F, at 1-0-1 with this match at Olimpia (0-1-0) and a home game with Vancouver (0-0-1) yet to go.

Schmid believes that visit from the Whitecaps will likely determine who advances from this group. So with a higher-priority Major League Soccer home match with the Portland Timbers coming up Sunday, the Sounders are expected to field a mostly reserve team in Honduras.

“The important game for us is Portland on Sunday,” Schmid said. “Our focus is on that. But we know that we have this game in Honduras in the Champions League, and anytime we send out a team we want to do well and get a result.”

Because the travel could be more taxing than the playing time, any players not in Schmid’s plans for Olimpia were left home.

NOTIFICATION OF INTENT TO OBTAIN CUSTODY. WA Dept of Natural Resources (DNR) has declared the 40ft EDSB sailboat, and registration # WN0998LB an emergency because it meets the criteria described under RCW 79.100.040(3). DNR took temporary possession of the vessel and had it removed from Ebey Slough, Snohomish County in order to prevent it from sinking, breaking up or posing a threat to human health and safety or the environment. DNR intends to take formal and full custody of the vessel on 9/14/2015 (Custody Date). After taking custody, DNR may use or dispose of it without further notice. The owner is responsible for all related costs. To retain custody of the vessel, before the Custody Date, the owner must: 1) Pay DNR back for costs incurred to date, 2) Move the vessel to an anchorage area, moorage facility, or storage location that has authorized the vessel.

To redeem the vessel once DNR has taken custody, or challenge DNR’s decision to take custody or temporary possession, the owner must file a written request (one original and one copy) for a hearing with the Pollution Control Hearings Board, in person at 1111 Israel Rd, Tumwater WA, or by mail to PO Box 40903, Olympia WA 98504-0903, and serve one copy on DNR’s Aquatic Resources Division at 1111 Washington Street SE, MS 47027, Olympia WA 98504-7027. The appeal must include the following information: a copy of the decision you are appealing; your name and address (mailing and legal, if different) and, if applicable, the name and address of your representative; a daytime phone number; a brief statement why you are appealing; a statement of what you want the Board to do; the signature of you or your representative. [This signature certifies that the content of the appeal is true.] The written request can be submitted immediately but cannot be filed any later than 10/14/2015 (Appeal Date). The right to a hearing is deemed waived if a request is submitted late, and the owner is liable for any costs owed to DNR. These costs may include all administrative costs incurred by DNR, removal and disposal costs, and costs associated with environmental damages directly or indirectly caused by the vessel. In the event of litigation, the prevailing party is entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. DNR reserves the right to pursue any other remedies available under law. For more information, contact the Derelict Vessel Removal Program at (360) 902-1070 or DVRP@dnr.wa.gov.

Crazy Animal Races

Former Lake Stevens High School football and baseball standout Ryan Bundy completed his first Ironman Triathlon on June 28 in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.

Bundy, 37, finished the race despite competing in temperatures that topped 100 degrees. Of the 1,710 athletes who started the race in the early morning hours, more than 300 dropped out during the competition. Another 300 who registered didn’t show up at the starting line.

Bundy graduated from Lake Stevens in 1995.

He went on to play baseball at the University of Washington and had a three-year professional career in the Toronto Blue Jays’ minor-league system.

After competing in the Lake Stevens Half Ironman in 2013, Bundy set his sights on conquering a full Ironman.

In Coeur d’Alene, he finished the 2.4-mile swim in 1 hour, 24 minutes, 29 seconds. He completed the 112-mile bike ride in 8:02:28, then ran a 26.2-mile marathon in 6:59:38.

His overall time of 16:49:39 ranked 1,294th among the 1,335 finishers.

Professional racer Andy Potts won the event in a time of 8:20:35.
