LYNNWOOD — The teen was shot in the back, then kicked repeatedly after he fell to the ground.

That’s what detectives

need a lot more time to sort through the different versions of events that led up to the fatal encounter.

The suspects, 24 and 19, were booked into the Snohomish County Jail on Tuesday night for investigation of first-degree murder.

Friends and family on social media identified the slain teen as Anthony Boro, 16.

Authorities said Wednesday it would be up to the Snohomish County Medical Examiner to confirm the boy’s identity. In court Wednesday, Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Dana Little told a judge that detectives believe the victim is a 16-year-old high school student. She did not use his name.

When he saw his neighbor’s home on fire, Kaiden, 17, didn’t hesitate

Kaiden James Porter-Foy, 17, runs his hand along soot from an August house fire in Lake Stevens on Tuesday. After seeing flames from his home across the street, Porter-Foy rushed over and found an allegedly suicidal woman in the home, whom he rescued. “Everyone’s got a life,” Porter-Foy said, “And they’ve gotta find some sort of happiness.”

LAKE STEVENS — Melody Mulneaux-Thomas says she can’t keep metal around, not even tent stakes.

Her 17-year-old grandson, Kaiden Porter-Foy, is a self-taught blacksmith with a homemade forge. He makes jewelry, wind chimes and decorative knives, all from items he finds around the house, including the old silverware. He made himself a necklace with a pendant that he etched with a Viking symbol for fire.

He wonders if the necklace

is what kept him safe that night in August, when he pulled his neighbor from her burning home.

Police allege that Gigi Hays, 54, was trying to commit suicide when she set her mobile home on fire. Kaiden was watching TV in his bedroom. It was late Aug. 7 or in the early hours of Aug. 8. He heard popping sounds, looked outside and saw the neighbor’s house was glowing. He woke up his grandparents, put on his jeans, a flannel shirt and combat boots, and ran toward the fire.

EDMONDS — The downtown traffic snarls caused by the convergence of ferries, trains and automobiles have plagued the city for decades. Now Tetra Tech, a Seattle consulting firm, has been given the challenge of finding a solution.

Tetra Tech will be working with a group appointed by the city to look at what the choices are available for solving the backups caused by a convergence of transportation systems — rail traffic that can block access to the waterfront, the lineup of cars waiting to board the Edmonds-Kingston ferry, and incoming traffic on SR 104 and 524.

The city has collected $690,000 for the study. Money for the project came from the state, Sound Transit, the Port of Edmonds, BNSF Railway, Community Transit, and the city’s budget.

The traffic analysis and a recommended solution is expected to take about a year, said Rick Shaefer, senior program manager at Tetra Tech. There’s a number of competing interests in a relatively compact area of downtown, he said.

“We have ferry traffic, both vehicle and pedestrian,” he said.

“We have everybody trying to get to a (waterfront) park, and we have several there.” There’s the senior center west of the railroad tracks, restaurants, a scuba diving park, and the Port of Edmonds, he said.

“Safety and access go right together,” Shaefer said. The fire department has talked of its safety concerns for the area in public forums, he said.

The city estimates up to 40 trains pass through each day, blocking access to the waterfront for about 90 minutes. By 2030, that number could increase to up to 100 trains a day. And each year some 3.8 million people either drive or walk on to the EdmondsKingston ferry. They have to cross the tracks to do so.

Chemistry Nobel awarded for DNA repair The Washington Post

Three scientists shared the Nobel Prize in chemistry Wednesday for their work deciphering the mysteries of how cells repair damaged DNA, work that could lead to new therapies for everything from cancer to old age.

will share in the award of roughly $960,000.

“Their systematic work has made a decisive contribution to the understanding of how the living cell functions, as well as providing knowledge about the molecular causes of several hereditary diseases and about mechanisms behind both cancer development and aging,” the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said in a statement.

Lindahl, of the Francis

Crick Institute and Clare Hall Laboratory in Britain, began with a fundamental question in the late 1960s: “How stable is DNA, really?” He found that DNA decays so rapidly that the frequent changes should be devastating to life. Multiple potentially dangerous breakdowns of the genome happen every day, according to his work. Lindahl discovered base excision repair, a mechanism by which certain proteins work to

constantly repair DNA. Sancar, a dual citizen of Turkey and the United States and a professor at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine, focused on the mechanisms by which proteins repair ultraviolet damage, called nucleotide excision repair. His “ability to generate knowledge about the molecular details of the process changed the entire research field,” the Nobel committee said Wednesday.

Modrich, a Duke University medical professor and investigator at Howard Hughes Medical Institute, detailed the mechanism behind how cells corrects errors that occur when DNA is replicated during cell division — a process known as mismatch repair.

The three scientists honored Wednesday have helped to demonstrate how and why our genetic information is remarkably resilient.

Putin spends birthday on ice Associated Press MOSCOW — Russian President Vladimir Putin spent his 63rd birthday on the ice Wednesday, playing hockey with former NHL stars against Russian officials and tycoons.

Putin scored seven goals as his star-studded team, which included NHL legends Vyacheslav Fetisov and Pavel Bure, won the game 15-10. The opposing team included Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu as well as Putin’s close friends — tycoons Gennady Timchenko and Arkady Rotenberg. Both were slapped with Western sanctions last year for their ties to Putin in the wake of Russia’s annexation of Crimea.

Putin was given a trophy for his team’s win at the end of the game and a medal for his contribution to hockey in Russia.

Earlier in the afternoon, Putin was briefed by Shoigu about the Russian air force operation in Syria.

When you read about teens and texting, it’s often about how they’re sexting and can’t look up long enough to have a face-toface conversation.

But a recent Pew report suggests they’re pretty grown up when it comes to breakups. The study, “Teens, Technology and Romantic Relationships,” found that, on a scale of 1 to 10, teens think breaking up in person is the best way, followed by phone call and then text message.

Among teens with relationship experience, 62 percent have broken up with someone in person, the Pew researchers found, and 47 percent have endured an in-person breakup.

Twenty-seven percent have broken up with someone over text and 31 percent have been dumped that way — about as common as breaking up over the phone. Then comes social media, with 18 percent of teens with dating experience having been dumped or dumping someone by sending a private social media message, changing their relationship status on Facebook or posting a status update.

These rates are higher than what Pew has found in studies of adults’ digital breakups, but not by much.

For example, a 2013 Pew report found that 22 percent of 18- to 29-year-olds had broken up with someone by email, text or online message, while 28 percent had been dumped in those ways.

Amanda Lenhart, lead researcher on the 2015 Pew report, says teens might prefer to break up in person because, at that age, their parents are still helping them set the parameters for what to expect in relationships. And their parents didn’t have texting or social media as breakup options when they were teenagers.

Lenhart also noted that, since most teens are meeting in person and rarely online, they feel more compelled to break up in person. “It makes more sense because you’ll continue to be in community with that person,” she says, if you met at school or have mutual friends.

Judge: Trial of former officer can proceed

By Scott North Herald Writer

EVERETT — A former Monroe police sergeant’s right to a fair trial on sex-crime charges was not irreparably harmed when a Snohomish County deputy prosecutor last month reviewed emails between the man and his attorney in a 2010 divorce, a judge ruled Wednesday.

That means Carlos Alberto Martinez, 61, still is scheduled to face

trial later this month on multiple counts of child molestation and other offenses. He is accused of starting up a sexual relationship in 2003 with a then-14-year-old girl he’d met years earlier when he taught drug education for her elementary school.

Mark Mestel, the attorney representing Martinez in the sex case, had urged Superior Court Judge Michael Downes to dismiss the charges.

Martinez’s constitutional right

to legal counsel had been violated when deputy prosecutor Lisa Paul reviewed emails that contained information protected by attorney-client privilege, he said.

If the case was not dismissed, Mestel wanted Paul removed to guard against the possibility she’d somehow make use of improperly gathered information.

Downes last week ruled that Paul did not have permission to look at the attorney-client

material. On Wednesday, however, he found that her review was “cursory at best,” and the messages contained nothing the prosecutor did not already know from other sources, including public records about Martinez’s divorce and materials another of the defendant’s lawyers had supplied the prosecutor in the hopes of convincing her not to file charges in 2013.

The emails were among more than 6,200 messages seized

under a court-approved search warrant.

In preparation for Wednesday’s decision, the judge spent days poring over the disputed emails himself.

A key question was this: What, if anything, did the prosecution gain from examining the problematic materials?

“The answer is nothing,” Downes said.

some of the changes, including adding more medical and mental health staff.

“Ensuring that inmates receive appropriate and timely medical and mental health care is top priority,” Brown said.

t seems pretty obvious Washington’s next state auditor won’t be the current one, Troy X. Kelley.

But then who might it be?

No candidate had stepped forward as of Wednesday morning, though Republican state Sen. Mark Miloscia, of Federal Way, may do so before the week is out.

And that won’t be a shock.

In fact, it’s overdue as Miloscia began recruiting himself when Kelley’s political career nosedived earlier this year in a hailstorm of criminal charges.

Ever since federal agents searched Kelley’s Tacoma home in March then accused the first-term Democrat of a slew of white collar crimes, including tax evasion and money laundering, Miloscia has appeared driven to steer him out of office and position himself to become his successor.

Miloscia was one of the first soloists in a chorus of political leaders calling on Kelley to resign. And he’s used his position as chairman of the Senate Accountability and Reform Committee to keep the auditor’s alleged exploits in full view of the public.

Miloscia organized an April 1 hearing — no joke — and invited Kelley to testify. Kelley blew him off and Miloscia lamented about the damage to public confidence in the auditor’s office caused by the embattled auditor’s behavior.

It’s not personal. Miloscia

Fred Farris stands outside of Island County Jail with other friends and family Wednesday to mark the six-month anniversary of his son’s death from dehydration at the jail.

Family gathers to remember Keaton Farris The Lopez Island native died six months ago while in custody. The sheriff released a report that recommends changes at the Island County Jail.

By Diana Hefley Herald Writer

COUPEVILLE — It has been six months since Keaton Farris died inside the Island County Jail.

His parents miss their only son’s bear hugs and goofy sense of humor. His sisters, Mia and Vivian, miss his friendship. He was the DJ at their elementary school fall festival two years ago and was gifting them his beloved “Calvin and Hobbs” collection.

His family and friends gathered Wednesday outside the Island County Jail to remember Farris and to continue demanding changes at the lockup.

“We know we can’t get him back. We hope and pray we can make a difference,” said Farris’ grandmother, Merry Pickering.

Farris, 25, was found dead at 12:40 a.m. April 8. The coroner

estimated that the Lopez Island native died at least seven hours earlier from dehydration and malnutrition.

Island County corrections officers had shut off the water to his cell after he flooded the toilet with a pillow. They failed to do hourly checks even though he didn’t have access to water, according to records.

Farris’ fluid intake was at best 185 ounces of water — less than a quarter of the amount considered minimum for survival.

The young man’s aunt, Tamara Fralic, said she called the jail repeatedly to check on him and corrections officers told her he was fine.

“If only we’d been allowed to see him we would have known how sick he was,” Pickering said.

“Isolating people from love is cruel.”

Vicki Morse (center left) is comforted by Merry Pickering at a memorial for Keaton Farris on Wednesday in Coupeville.

Island County Sheriff Mark Brown on Wednesday released a report prepared by a consultant hired to inspect the jail’s operations. Brown said the consultant “had full access to every aspect of the jail.” The report made numerous recommendations. Brown said his staff already have made

The Mukilteo School District on Wednesday reported the shooting death of a Mariner High School sophomore. He had a younger brother who attends a middle school in the district.

A message of “RIP Anthony Boro” was posted on the younger brother’s social media account. It was one of dozens of similar posts among young people in the community.

Boro was well-known and well-liked, said Mark Stewart, head coach of the Mariner football team. He played football his freshman year and showed up for some of the summer workouts this year but didn’t continue on the team this season.

Stewart heard about the death from students on the football team. The loss has had a wide effect at the school, especially on the sophomore class. Many students wore blue to school Wednesday to remember

Fire From Page A1

“I didn’t even put socks on,” he said.

The flames lit up the night. He tried to open the neighbors’ front door but was struck by “a wave of pure heat,” he said. As he moved toward the back of the house, the windows were shattering.

Another neighbor, standing nearby, told him someone was inside.

Kaiden looked through a window and saw a woman leaning up against a washer and dryer. She had something red in her hands. A gas can. The back door was locked. He kicked it down. He could see puddles of gasoline. He grabbed the can from the woman and threw it away from them. It exploded.

“It was just a room of flame,” he said. “There was no seeing furniture. It was just her and me.”

The woman told Kaiden to leave her alone, and let her die. As he carried her out the back door, she was thumping on his back in protest, “struggling and fighting and pushing on me,” he said.

Back outside, the aluminum roofing over the patio was collapsing onto his head. Kaiden found himself blocked by a waist-high white picket fence. The gate wouldn’t work. He kicked it down.

It all transpired in maybe 30 seconds, but it felt like forever, he said. He remembers knowing that he had to make choices, and quickly.

“There was no time for thinking,” he said.

He carried the struggling woman to his grandparents, who restrained her as he ran back toward the house.

He wanted to make sure no one else was trapped.

“It was too fire-engulfed for me to go back in there,” he said.

His grandma told him that decision was his smarts overcoming his strength.

Gigi Hays is charged with first-degree arson. Police weren’t notified when she was released from the hospital. She was a no-show in court Wednesday, and the judge issued a $500,000 warrant.

Meanwhile, Kaiden says he’s glad he took a shower not long before the fire.

The dampness might have helped protect his skin and long blonde hair. The fire left holes in his shirt and boots. His belt buckle absorbed so much heat it burned his stomach.

Lake Stevens police Sgt. Craig Valvick recognized Kaiden at the scene. In a small-world moment, the sergeant had seen the teen at a pool in Arlington a few days earlier, where he’d taken his daughter to swim.

.357-caliber revolver hidden in his pants while he spoke with a detective. He also allegedly was carrying four live rounds in a pants pocket as well as heroin and cash.

Landrum allegedly told detectives that he watched Courtney shoot the teen after he tried to run away.

When Boro fell, Landrum said he heard “a clank” and something rolling,” which appeared to be the aluminum bat.

Landrum did not appear in court for a bail hearing Wednesday. His attorney, Pete Mazzone, said his client was dealing with a medical issue in the jail.

Mazzone argued that the probable cause statement failed to prove premeditation on his client’s part.

Little, the deputy prosecutor, told Judge Tam Bui that the victim was alive when Landrum allegedly started kicking him. Bui agreed that there was probable cause to hold the suspect.

Courtney appeared at Wednesday’s hearing. His bail was set at $3 million.

The investigators listened in amazement as Kaiden told his story — humbly, calmly, coolly, Valvick said.

“He was very composed for having literally just ran into a fire and saved somebody,” Valvick said.

“We were like, wow, that’s amazing, a young kid like that who had the fortitude to run into a burning house and not only save somebody but to look for them and get them out.”

In a later interview, Lake Stevens detective Dean Thomas told Kaiden the rescue was brave, but dangerous. Thomas told him he had a talent for saving people, and to think about becoming a first responder.

Kaiden’s grandparents, Melody and Wayne Thomas, have lived in Lake Stevens’ Cardinal Estates mobile home park for 20 years. They bought the place, planning to be snowbirds, before they found out they’d be raising Kaiden and his younger sister, Korissa.

Melody had heard horror stories about raising teens in these times, she said, but Kaiden has surprised her, not just with his inventiveness and his independence, but also in the thoughtful and respectful way he treats those around him.

Grandpa’s not so surprised, seeing as how Kaiden has undergone a little something he calls “Grandma’s raising.”

A junior at Lake Stevens High School, Kaiden spends half the school day learning welding at the Sno-Isle TECH Skills Center. Grandma tells him he has to find a welding job that’s not too dangerous.

After the fire, it took her a while to get over her fear and shock and to be proud of Kaiden, she said. She was mad and scared “for a good day or two,” Kaiden said.

She wants to be proud of him, she told him, but maybe next time, “let’s do it with grades or something.”

Kaiden still has nightmares about the fire, that he got trapped or that he stood by as someone screamed and died.

He says he was “bullheaded” that night, but he likes to think he did what people need to do. He sees now how easily a life can be taken.

People used to tell his grandma that she should have put Kaiden in sports when he was younger.

Even then, though, Kaiden was happiest heading off into the woods with a big stick or a fishing pole, she said. As a boy, he started working with metal by hammering nails into sword shapes for his action figures. To learn to be a blacksmith, he read books and watched videos on YouTube.

Kaiden keeps a makeshift workshop in

Grandpa’s shed, where a Kurt Cobain biography can be seen lying on the bench.

Nearby is his backyard forge, made from an old barbecue. The forge is fed oxygen from a Kaidendesigned contraption that combines a leaf blower, a glove, rubber hose, zip ties and duct tape.

On Tuesday night, his grandmother looked around at all of Kaiden’s projects.

“Someday he’ll have a real workshop,” she said.

Kaiden told her: “One day, it will be pretty, but not today.”

The exact amount of the Tetra Tech contract has not yet been set but is expected to be in the low $600,000s, he said.

The advisory group appointed by Mayor Dave Earling to work with the contractor are: City Councilman Mike Nelson; Jim Orvis, a Port of Edmonds commissioner; Edmonds residents Kirk Greiner, Cadence Kerr and Phil Lovell; Joy Munkers, director of planning and development for Community Transit; Rick Wagner, manager of BNSF’s public projects Northwest division; Lynne Griffiths, assistant secretary, Washington State Ferries; Lorena Eng, regional administrator, Washington State Department of Transportation; Rob English, city engineer; and Patrick Doherty, director of the city’s Economic Development and Community Services.

Earling called the selection of a project consultant an important step for the community.

One of the most recent suggestions to solving the traffic issues is to dig a trench to allow passing freight and passenger trains to get through the downtown waterfront area below grade. Overpasses or underpasses have also been suggested as work arounds for getting traffic over the train tracks. There also has been talk of moving the ferry terminal, but those plans were scuttled by the recession.

Tetra Tech is planning on having several opportunities for the public to provide its ideas on solving the problem, Shaefer said. The dates of those meetings are expected to be announced in about a month.

Tetra Tech will work with a group of four other companies on the project outlining solutions to the downtown traffic snarls. They will help in tasks such as engineering, environmental reviews, expertise in rail issues, and the design of whatever plan is finally adopted.

Both short-term and longer-term projects are being considered.

“Something needs to be done sooner, not just later,” Shaefer said.

The sheriff’s office initially reported that they believed he was in his 20s.

The suspects were identified as Jesse Landrum, 19, and Charles Courtney, 24. Both were staying at the apartment complex off Larch Way. Courtney allegedly admitted shooting the teen in the back and Landrum allegedly admitted kicking him after he had been shot.

“At this time, it does not appear that the suspects knew the victim,” Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Shari Ireton said.

Detectives are continuing to sort through various versions of events that led up to the shooting.

An aluminum baseball bat was found near the teen’s body, according to a police report.

Courtney uses the street name “Magic,” according to a police report. He told detectives the teen “jiggled” his apartment door in what he thought was an attempt to break in and that he peered at the stranger through the peep hole.

Ben Carson leading Clinton Bloomberg News NEW YORK — Hillary Clinton is still leading the Democratic primary in three key swing states — Florida, Ohio, and Pennsylvania — but a new poll suggests she may have more to worry about than whether Vice President Joe Biden enters the race: Neurosurgeon Ben Carson could potentially pose a threat to the entire Democratic field.

If the election were held today and Carson were the Republican nominee, he would beat Clinton, Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders in the battleground states of Ohio and

Pennsylvania and also best the Vermont independent in Florida, according to a new Quinnipiac poll. No president has won the general election since 1960 without carrying two out of those three swing states.

In Ohio, Carson would defeat Biden by 4 percentage points (46 percent to 42 percent), Clinton by 9 points (49 percent to 40 percent) and Sanders by 12 points (48 percent to 36 percent), according to the poll. In Pennsylvania, the retired neurosurgeon would beat Clinton by 9 points (49 percent to 40 percent) and Sanders by 10 points (47 percent to 37

percent). And while Biden, who was born in Pennsylvania, is often called the state’s third senator, Carson would best him by 5 points there, 47 percent to 42 percent, according to the poll. In Florida, Carson would defeat Sanders 46 percent to 40 percent, but trails Biden by a margin of 45 percent to 42 percent, and Clinton by 45 to 42 percent.

The poll is the latest evidence that the political outsider is on an upswing, at least for now. Carson enjoyed a rise in the polls after the first Republican primary debate in August and raised $20 million during the third quarter.

His primary numbers are not

quite as encouraging. He still trails Donald Trump by a margin of 28 percent to 16 percent in Florida, by 23 percent to 18 percent in Ohio, and by 23 percent to 17 percent in Pennsylvania, but is the stronger of the two men against the top Democrats.

“Trump, despite his strong showing in mock Republican primaries, fares worst among the GOP candidates matched against the three Democratic aspirants — giving some credence to pundits who say the billionaire could be every Democrat’s favorite GOP nominee,” said Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University poll.

Storm toll could ‘break bank’ U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham warns that disaster damages could top more than $1 billion.

Associated Press COLUMBIA, S.C. — It could take until the weekend for the threat of flooding to ease in storm-tattered South Carolina, where a senator warned of a potential billion-dollar cleanup bill, two more people died in the floodwaters and the flagship university sent a home football game 700 miles away.

Rivers rose and dams bulged as storm water from days of heavy rains made its way to the Atlantic Ocean, causing a second round of flooding downstream.

Gov. Nikki Haley paid a visit to the coast, which she said would still be in danger for another 24-48 hours.

“We’re holding our breath and saying a prayer,” she said.

U.S. Sen, Lindsey Graham warned the disaster could “break the bank” of federal emergency funds, possibly topping more than $1 billion.

In another image of the storm’s otherworldly toll, state officials said caskets have popped out of the ground in 11 instances in six counties.

At least 19 people in South Carolina and North Carolina have died in the storm, while many survivors returned home to discover they’d lost everything.

Wendy Dixon burst into sobs after realizing her wedding album and dozens of photos of her two sons and three grandchildren were destroyed.

Overcome with emotion and barely able to walk across her waterlogged carpet, Dixon grasped the arm of a niece inside the Columbia apartment. “Everything is gone!” she wailed. “My clothes and all can be replaced. But my little things, my pictures, are all gone.”

WASHINGTON — The federal Export-Import Bank is showing some signs of life.

More than three months after it expired, House Democrats and Republican backers have united to revive the charter of the small federal agency that helps U.S. companies sell their products overseas, by underwriting financing to foreign customers. The coalition is teaming up to bypass opposition from the tea party and top GOP leaders, including Rep. Kevin McCarthy, the favorite to become the new Speaker.

Conservative critics say the bank provides too much of its credit assistance to help huge, well-connected corporations like Boeing and General

Obama apologizes for hospital attack WASHINGTON — Under pressure from outraged humanitarian groups, President Barack Obama made phone calls Wednesday to personally apologize for a U.S. air attack that killed 22 people at a Doctors Without Borders hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan. The White House announced Obama’s calls — first to the group’s president, Dr. Joanne Liu, and then to Afghan President Ashraf Ghani — and promised that the Defense Department would conduct “a transparent, thorough and objective accounting” of the incident. Doctors Without Borders lost 12 staff members and 10 patients, including three children. Nearly 40 others were injured.

Gallup drops daily polling A major name in presidential polling is backing away from the horse race. In a significant shift from the previous presidential election, Gallup said Wednesday it won’t be testing who’s up and who’s down in the 2016 primary. Gallup won’t be doing daily “horse race” tracking polls in the general election either, preferring instead to focus on the issues over the next 13 months. The development, first reported by Politico, comes as national polls play a growing role in the presidential nomination process — especially in the crowded Republican field. Debate participation has been determined solely by national polls.

City officials boat down a street to check on a city park in Kingstree, South Carolina, on Wednesday.

Roberta Albers walks around her home after the floodwaters start to recede in Huger, South Carolina, on Wednesday.

It was another anxious day of waiting for floodwaters to recede around the capital city.

About 1,000 residents near the compromised Beaver Dam were told to evacuate Wednesday morning, though the order was lifted several hours later when crews shored up the dam.

Haley said 62 dams across the state were being monitored, and 13 had already failed. However, she said South Carolina was fortunate that those represented only a small fraction of 2,000 or so dams regulated by the state.

At a news conference, Haley and other officials were asked repeatedly about whether the

state had spent enough in previous years to maintain dams and other infrastructure.

“I think the analysis of this can be done after” the danger from the floods passes, she said in one testy response.

But Graham said the federal lifeline must be treated with care to avoid a “pork-laden monstrosity” like the federal government’s aid package to the Northeast Hurricane Sandy in 2012. He warned state and county officials not to use the disaster as an opportunity to ask for money unrelated to flood damage.

He also said it would take weeks to get a reliable damage assessment.

“We’re talking hundreds of millions (of dollars), maybe over a billion,” he said while visiting a shelter in Columbia.

And in an extraordinary move for the football-crazy South, the University of South Carolina announced it was moving Saturday’s football game against No. 7 LSU some 700 miles to Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The university said more than 80,000 fans expected for the game in Columbia would have put too much stress on weakened infrastructure.

In two of the most recent storm-related deaths, deputies said the pickup’s driver went around a barricade and plunged into the water at a 20-foot gap where pavement was washed out.

Sheriff’s spokesman Lt. Curtis Wilson said three people in the pickup truck managed to get to safety around 3 a.m.

Wednesday. Divers found two others dead inside the truck several hours later.

Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott said all nine deaths in the county have come from people trying to drive in flooded areas. Officers have located the cars belonging to several other missing people.

“I’m fearing the worst on that,” Lott said.

New push could revive Ex-Im Bank Associated Press

ACROSS THE U.S.

Electric.

In a rarely used congressional maneuver, supporters are gathering signatures on a socalled “discharge petition” that would allow them to force a House vote on legislation.

The bank’s charter expired June 30, and it’s been unable to approve new applications or fulfill its mission of helping overseas buyers purchase U.S. products like airplanes and heavy equipment, which the bank says helps sustain tens of thousands of U.S. manufacturing jobs.

Supporters of the bank have been stymied by opposition from the tea party, a key committee chairman, and McCarthy. Opponents say the bank chiefly helps a few wellconnected companies and subsidizes overseas businesses

like foreign airlines to give them an unfair advantage over U.S. companies.

But supporters of the bank are guaranteed a floor vote if a majority of the House signs the petition. Such moves are rarely successful, but the bank enjoys support from veteran GOP lawmakers who are frustrated by the refusal of Financial Services Chairman Jeb Hensarling, R-Texas, an opponent of the bank, to bring the matter before his committee.

Hensarling said a majority of Republicans on the GOP-controlled panel oppose the bank.

Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, is widely regarded as supporting Ex-Im as he has in the past and doesn’t appear to be doing anything to squelch the petition drive. In a little-noticed move, Boehner

scheduled an unexpected House session this week that — under the arcane rules governing discharge petition efforts — promises to move the date of a House vote to Oct. 26 instead of November. His office says the reason for Monday’s pro forma session was to conduct other House business.

“We have a very good chance of making this happen,” Rep. Stephen Fincher, R-Tenn., who’s leading the petition drive, said Wednesday. “The Speaker has been very clear that he is for Ex-Im Bank. The problem is my chairman ... and he is very opposed.”

The bank has sweeping support in the Senate, which voted 64-29 this summer to renew the bank as an amendment to a measure to renew highway programs.

Not a single person tested positive for Ebola last week in the three West African nations devastated by the deadly virus, the first time that has happened since March 2014, the World Health Organization reported Wednesday.

The epidemic that killed more than 11,000 people and sparked panic in the U.S. during the summer of 2014 is now confined to small areas of Guinea and Sierra Leone, the international health agency reported. There have been fewer than 10 cases per week over the 11 weeks that ended Sept. 27.

Michigan: UAW strike After autoworkers decisively rejected a proposed contract offer from Fiat Chrysler of America last week, as many as 40,000 could go on strike at Chrysler plants Thursday if an agreement isn’t reached by 11:59 p.m. Wednesday. A strike would be the first since a short work stoppage against General Motors in 2007. The United Auto Workers has been banned from striking at that company and at Fiat Chrysler since 2009, as part of a federal government-led agreement to save the automakers from bankruptcy.

Pennsylvania: Ship woes A historic cruise ship moored in Philadelphia could be destined for the scrap heap if a group trying to save it doesn’t get an infusion of cash. The SS United States Conservancy sent a virtual SOS to supporters Wednesday, saying ongoing expenses have become unsustainable. The nonprofit says it needs more than $60,000 per month to keep the rehabilitation project afloat. The SS United States was once the world’s fastest ocean liner. It launched in 1952 after a secret Cold War project to build the world’s fastest ship. It still holds the trans-Atlantic speed record.

California: Cosby lawsuit Bill Cosby’s attorneys could not persuade a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge Wednesday to throw out a lawsuit accusing the comedian of molesting a woman at the Playboy Mansion in 1974 when she was 15, setting the stage for his deposition in the case later this week. The judge ruled Wednesday that Judy Huth’s lawsuit against Cosby could proceed. The judge rejected claims by his lawyers that the suit incorrectly named the performer when California rules governing older cases forbid such action.

N. Jersey: Syringes reused A nurse administering flu shots to employees of a pharmaceutical company reused syringes, state Department of Health officials said Wednesday.

There is a low risk of infection and syringes that hold the vaccine, not needles, were reused, they said. But local health officials and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, are recommending testing for hepatitis B and C and HIV, which can spread via blood.

Officials said it happened Sept. 30 when a nurse with TotalWellness administered flu vaccines to 67 employees of Otsuka Pharmaceutical in West Windsor.

L.A.-Chicago rail superhighway Warren Buffett’s doubletrack plan will chop hours off of transportation time between the cities.

Bloomberg News A noisy yellow machine laying down railroad track near Alva, Oklahoma — as much as a mile a day of concrete and steel — is Warren Buffett’s solution to the industry’s dwindling coal traffic.

After this year, BNSF Railway Co. will be more than 99 percent finished with a second, parallel line to its 2,200-mile Los Angelesto-Chicago route. Doubling up will create a rail superhighway speeding deliveries of toys, electronics, autos and other goods, because trains won’t have to yield to each other on sidings as they do on single tracks.

The goal: help the unit of Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Inc. grab cargo now going by road.

“If the rails can improve the

reliability of the transit time,” shipping consultant Satish Jindel said, “it helps them compete with the trucks.”

Snatching consumer products and other freight from big rigs is more crucial than ever. Coal, once a pillar of U.S. rail traffic, is fading as utilities burn cheaper and cleaner natural gas. Average weekly carloads are down 20 percent from five years earlier, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

The Los Angeles-to-Chicago

route links the busiest U.S. container port to the biggest midcontinent rail hub, giving BNSF a leg up in the race to find alternatives to those dwindling coal cars. And there’s room to grow: consultant FTR Transportation Intelligence estimates that trains now move only about 19 percent of the 71 million trailer loads that travel 550 miles or more, a rough threshold for where rail becomes an viable option.

New climate change bill California governor signs aggressive law to increase use of renewable electricity to 50 percent.

Associated Press LOS ANGELES — California Gov. Jerry Brown signed an ambitious climate change bill Wednesday, aiming to increase the state’s use of renewable electricity to 50 percent and make existing buildings twice as energy-efficient by 2030.

“The goal is clear, and California is in the forefront,” Brown said at a signing ceremony at the hilltop Griffith Observatory, where a hazy downtown Los Angeles provided the backdrop.

Brown tried for an even stronger measure that would have also directed state regulators to enforce a 50 percent drop in petroleum use in the next 15 years, but oil interests defeated that part of the package.

He characterized the loss as a short-term setback, and insisted that the world needs to wean itself off fossil fuels as quickly as possible.

“What has been the source of our prosperity now becomes the source of our ultimate destruction, if we don’t get off it. And that is so difficult,” Brown said.

The Legislature approved the watered-down SB350 in the final hours of the legislative session Sept. 11. The measure does not specify how California will achieve these far-reaching goals, deferring the details to the state’s

California Gov. Jerry Brown waves after signing SB350 to combat climate change.

Air Resources Board, Energy Commission and Public Utilities Commission. The boards’ members are mostly appointed by the governor and have broad influence over the state’s economic life.

Lawmakers blamed a multimillion-dollar advertising campaign by oil companies, which raised fears of job losses, for defeating the petroleum reduction requirement.

Both houses are controlled by Democrats, but Brown accused Republicans of failing to take action to slow global warming.

He recalled that Ronald Reagan was California’s governor when the state created the Air Resources Board in response to the smog in Los Angeles, and that President Richard Nixon signed the Clean Air Act. “That was a time when Republicans really got it. We hope they

are going to come back to the good old days of Reagan and Nixon, when people cared about clean air and clean water,” he said.

Brown, a Democrat, began the year with a vow to push the most aggressive greenhouse-gas emissions benchmark in North America through the Legislature.

His goal builds on landmark legislation signed by Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in 2006, which established the first U.S. program to cap and trade emissions as a way to reduce pollutants to 1990 levels by 2020.

That program, second only to the European Union’s in size, imposes extra costs on polluting businesses, and has kept the state on track to get a third of its electricity from renewable sources in five more years.

Some lawmakers were willing to accept forced cuts in petroleum use if the Legislature could have more power over the Air Resources Board, which has been implementing the greenhouse gas emissions law.

But Brown refused to give up what he sees as his executive authority.

Brown said cleaner-running cars and energy-efficient appliances will improve the environment, but he warned that the world’s coming transition from carbon-producing fuels to solar, wind and other renewable energies will be difficult.

“I never want to minimize the task ahead,” he said. “It’s not going to be easy and it’s not going to come overnight. There is no quick, one thing you can do.”

Big turnout expected for oil port hearing State officials said large crowds are expected Thursday at a public hearing in Aberdeen on two oil terminals proposed at the Port of Grays Harbor in Hoquiam.

Two companies want to expand existing facilities to bring crude oil by train from the Bakken region of North Dakota and Montana. The oil would then be transported by tankers or barges to refineries in Puget Sound and northern California. Westway Terminal Co. wants to expand its methanol facility to store up to 1.4 million barrels of crude oil.

Meanwhile, Imperium, which was acquired by Renewable Energy Group, wants to expand its biodiesel facility to store up to 1.1 million barrels of crude oil and other liquids.

Hillary Clinton opposes trade deal Hillary Clinton declared her opposition to the TransPacific Partnership trade accord Wednesday, her most significant break with President Barack Obama since launching her campaign for the presidential nomination.

“I think there are still a lot of unanswered questions,” she said of the big trade deal in an interview with PBS. “As of today, I am not in favor of what I have learned about it.” During a 2012 trip to Australia, she called it the “gold standard in trade agreements.”

Facebook jumps into home-repair services Facebook is the latest technology company that wants to connect you with a handyman who can install a ceiling fan or fix a leaky toilet, following Amazon.com, Google and a slew of startups seeking ways to make money from the $300 billion home-improvement market.

The social networking site is joining with Seattle startup Pro. com, which will help a Facebook Messenger user find a qualified contractor, get an instant quote and schedule an appointment within minutes on home projects from mounting a big-screen television to painting a room. Pro.com, which operates in more than 5,500 U.S. cities, also unveiled Wednesday a similar text-messaging service separate from Facebook.

Israeli firm advances in lunar competition A team of Israeli engineers is the first to advance in an international competition sponsored by Google to send a privately-funded spacecraft to the moon, contest organizers said Wednesday. The Israeli nonprofit group SpaceIL has signed a contract with American aerospace manufacturer SpaceX to launch an unmanned spacecraft into lunar orbit — the first step a team must take toward landing on the moon and winning the $20 million grand prize.

The launch is expected to take place in the second half of 2017. To win the contest, contestants must land a rover on the moon. It must travel about 1,640 feet and transmit images back to Earth.

An earful on school funding “paramount duty.”

Along with a panel of teachers, administrators and parents, scores of others asked to speak at a meeting at the Everett School District offices that went past its two-hour schedule.

Some were emphatic. One retired teacher, angry that the Legislature had set aside Initiative 1351, which would have required the state to lower class sizes, asked the lawmakers to invite 35 kids to their next birthday party they host for a child, buy the supplies for a craft activity and keep the children occupied.

“I know you can do better,” the retired educator said. “Follow the law; I-1351 was not a suggestion.”

Others were simply frustrated by a system where district differences in levy support have allowed urban districts, Everett in particular, to offer higher pay to teachers than outlying districts can offer.

Todd Setterland, principal at Burlington-Edison High School, less than an hour’s drive from Everett to the south and Bellingham to the north,

noted that he recently lost two art teachers, a librarian and a special education teacher to Bellingham because that district offered better pay.

Setterland didn’t fault the teachers for leaving, “but that comes at the expense of Burlington-Edison students.”

Others were there to remind the lawmakers that they will need to define what the state constitution considers basic education; that it includes fully funding teacher compensation, but will have to include supplies, equipment and the buildings to house students.

Robert Crosby, whose children attend Marysville schools and is a history and government teacher at Everett’s Jackson High, criticized the reliance on portable classrooms. It’s difficult, Crosby said, for 33 high school students in a small portable to learn. “Give us more space,” he said.

Traci Mitchell, an Everett School Board member, noted that the state mandated new statewide tests for students but didn’t provide funding for the computers necessary to take the tests, requiring the district

and parent-teacher groups to provide 3,500 laptops now shared by 19,000 students.

It went on like that for the better part of two hours as people with their own perspectives and insights into the problem reminded the legislators of the needs, inequalities and complexities in fully funding public education.

This was only the committee’s second such hearing in their statewide listening tour. The committee will need these comments as guidance as the Legislature moves ahead with legislation to meet its obligation to amply fund basic education.

Five more hearings like Tuesday night’s will follow, where committee members are certain to hear similar stories and advice. But no request will be more concise than from a sixth-grader from Seattle who attends a school where 85 percent of the students meet the family income requirements for free and reduced lunches.

“We need extra help so I don’t fall behind,” said Olivia.

“I am your paramount duty.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■SNOHOMISH COUNTY

Koster reaffirms failure in races After being rejected by the electorate, twice in the past several years, Republican John Koster was appointed to the position of ombudsman by Snohomish County Executive John Lovick, a Democrat. This plum appointment, a sort of political “thanks for your past service” required, due to the very nature of the job, an appearance of fairness and non-partisanship. In fairly short order, Mr. Koster embarrassed the office he was appointed to run, as well as the executive who appointed him, by failing to keep his feelings about labor unions and the hooligans that lead such riff-raff, to himself.

John Koster’s audacious claim against the county is, yet further assurance to we, the voters, that we made the right decision at the polls.

■■ARLINGTON

Vote to retain excellent Tolbert Mayor Barb Tolbert has worked very hard for Arlington for many years with honesty and integrity.

When Barb entered office, Arlington’s finances were terrible; her business and finance experience enabled her tough decisions to restore our financial health and bond rating. The only tax increases during her term are voter approved for road repair and to keep current service levels; she stopped automatic annual utility rate increases.

Barb was (and is) executive director of our airport’s Fly-In, Arlington’s largest tourism event; however, after being elected mayor, she gave up her salary and now volunteers as the Fly-In’s director, along with much other volunteer work in Arlington, past and present (too long to list here). Someone suggested a conflict of interest between her mayoral duties and airport activities; the state auditor found no conflict, and she’s working diligently to resolve other airport issues that predated her time as mayor.

She directed Arlington staff to respond to citizen questions and complaints within 24 hours and streamlined our building permit process; we’re now the model for our region. Through Barb’s work, Arlington is a quarter-finalist in America’s Most Livable City, an honor accompanied

Must obey vow not to run on own I believe the Donald Trump polls will continue to drop drastically as his supporters come to realize when Donald Trump took the Republican’s Pledge of Allegiance, he agreed to not run as an independent.

That pledge “fine print” does reduce his pit bull behavior, to a palm-licking Lab dog; held on a short leash to heel, stay, sit, lie down, roll over, play dead: Ah so; good dog, bad dog Donald Trump.

Must love people more than guns Neurosurgeon and Republican presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson recently wrote that he had operated on victims of gun violence “but I never saw a body with bullet holes that was more devastating than taking the right to arm ourselves away.”

IN OUR VIEW | Senate committee listening tour

They came to listen and got an earful.

The state Senate’s Education Committee was in Everett on Tuesday night to hear from teachers, school officials, parents and even a couple of students, all who wanted to make sure legislators understand how important it is to fix the way public schools are funded in Washington.

The problem, acknowledged by the Legislature and given added emphasis by the state Supreme Court’s recent finding of contempt, is that local school levies have been used unconstitutionally to bridge the gap between what teachers are paid and what the state provides for pay and benefits. Children in Washington state’s public schools not only are among the bottom two-thirds in the U.S. in terms of money spent per pupil, the disparities among districts, particularly between urban and rural areas, widen the inequality further. As the Supreme Court has reminded the Legislature, the state constitution mandates that funding basic education is its

Cartoon critics miss the point The Herald has printed several letters to the editor about the “tastelessness” of the Sunday political cartoon depicting a weatherman in front of a weather map saying “Mostly sunny today, with a chance of mass shootings...”

These criticisms miss the point. A political cartoon is meant to make us think about something that should be obvious, but needs to be seen in a different context. Such cartoons aren’t necessarily meant to be funny.

Mass shootings are becoming so common that we tend to be upset for a day or two and then put it out of our minds until the next mass shooting. Meanwhile, individual gun murders are committed daily throughout our country (as frequently as weather reports) that far outnumber the mass murders.

The victims and their families know that these violent acts are far too common and senseless. Ask the students and families of Marysville Pilchuck High School if this isn’t far too common to be ignored.

That cartoon hit the target precisely, but some of the critics missed the point.

Kasich too reasonable for RINO hunters

O

n paper, John Kasich is a perfect candidate for the Republican presidential nomination. He has a long record as a fiscal and social conservative, and he’s the popular governor of Ohio, a must-win state for any Republican hoping to occupy the Oval Office.

But the 2016 GOP presidential primary isn’t DANA MILBANK being fought on paper.

It’s being fought in the gutter, and in this venue Kasich has been derided as a career politician and a RINO — Republican In Name Only — because of his supposedly heretical positions on issues such as immigration, Medicaid and the Common Core education standards.

In reality, Kasich’s views are reliably conservative. What’s hurting him is his inclusive talk. Kasich preaches to fellow conservatives about doing right by racial minorities, immigrants, gay people, labor unions, the poor and drug addicts. But in this campaign, the “compassionate conservative” label has become an epithet.

The NBC News/Wall Street Journal/ Marist poll, out this week, finds that Kasich has fallen from second place in New Hampshire after the first presidential debate to a tie for seventh. National polls show him averaging about 3 percent — raising the danger he’ll be kicked out of future debates.

He’s in Washington, this week to raise money, amid whispers that he’ll run out of cash and go the way of Scott Walker and Rick Perry. On Monday, Kasich allowed that “some people just don’t get me.”

Inside, about a quarter of the 125 seats in the studio were empty, and the chamber’s chief executive, Javier Palomarez, started right out with a question about the difficulties an “establishment figure” faces in this nomination battle.

Kasich answered with an anecdote about meeting with his former Republican congressional colleagues Trent Lott and Bob Walker. “Lott looks at Walker and says, ‘When did we ever become RINOs?’ And my question is, ‘When did I ever become establishment?’”

Good question. It happened gradually, but we’ve now reached the extreme point where even one of Newt Gingrich’s revolutionaries is considered too squishy to be a true Republican.

Kasich, bravely, isn’t retreating. He goes out of his way to trumpet his positions that antagonize conservative activists, and he lectures his party on the moral obligation to help the poor. In this sense, he may be the Jon Huntsman of 2016: A truth-teller favored by the conservative (and liberal) intelligentsia who goes nowhere.

At the Hispanic chamber event, Kasich spoke passionately about his decision to accept the expansion of Medicaid for the working poor under Obamacare. He said it would save money on prisons and emergency-room care. “It’s a smart issue of arithmetic, but there’s another issue: How about morality?” Kasich said. “How about being a country that can embrace and help people to get on their feet?”

As for those who opposed Medicaid expansion, Kasich asked: “What are you going to do about the mentally ill?

What are you going to do about the drug addicted?”

Kasich sounded a bit preachy, but he wasn’t done. He boasted about his heresies: “We also believe in early childhood education. ... We’ve invested a ton of money in K-12 education. ... I’m somebody that’s not at war with organized labor.” He doesn’t support same-sex marriage, he said, but “I’m not fighting” the Supreme Court decision. “We’ve moved on.”

On immigration, Kasich tiptoed away from his earlier support of a border fence, saying it didn’t have to be a “physical” wall. Illegal immigrants who are already here and law-abiding “should have a path to legalization,” he said, because “they’re a critical part of our society.”

His voice rising, Kasich said: “The idea that we’re going to pick these folks up and ship them out? That is just unbelievable, the thought of it. ... It’s just not acceptable in America.” And the call to end the constitutional guarantee of birthright citizenship? “If you’re born here, you’re a citizen. Period. End of story.”

The governor, a grandson of immigrants, explained that such views are in his DNA because of his blue-collar upbringing. “If we didn’t have immigration, then I’d probably be running for president of Croatia or something,” he said.

And maybe he’d do better there. A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country.

Oregon gunman killed himself Officials say Christopher Harper-Mercer shot himself in a community college classroom.

By Jonathan J. Cooper Associated Press

ROSEBURG, Ore. — The gunman who fatally shot nine people at an Oregon community college last week killed himself in front of his victims after two police officers wounded him, authorities said Wednesday.

When two plainclothes detectives spotted Christopher Harper-Mercer in the doorway of a campus building, he fired at them, and the officers quickly returned fire. The killer then went back inside and shot himself in a classroom where many of his victims lay dead and wounded, a prosecutor told a news conference.

It was authorities’ most detailed account yet of the gunman’s death. Previously, they

Douglas County District Attorney Rick Wesenberg describes the events surrounding the mass shooting at Umpqua Community College during a press conference in Roseburg, Oregon.

had said only that the 26-yearold attacker killed himself after a shootout.

The detectives arrived within minutes of the first reports of gunfire at Umpqua Community

College.

Seconds later, the officers “both felt they had a good target,” Douglas County District Attorney Rick Wesenberg said. Two of their bullets hit a wall. A third struck

Harper-Mercer on the right side.

The wounded gunman “entered the classroom again, went to the front of the classroom and shot and killed himself,” Wesenberg said.

The attack in this rural timber town was the worst mass shooting in Oregon history. Eight students and a teacher died. Nine others were wounded.

A private memorial has been held for Lawrence Levine, who was killed while teaching the class. Another private service was held Wednesday for 44-year-old Sarena Dawn Moore of Myrtle Creek. More funerals are scheduled through Saturday.

Investigators have not yet shared any motive for the killings.

They have seized 14 guns — six found at the college and eight at the apartment Harper-Mercer shared with his mother on the outskirts of Roseburg.

Authorities have said the gunman’s mother told them her son was struggling with mental health issues, but no details have been released.

Astoria’s landmark gets a facelift

SEATTLE — A Seattle police officer has been fired after lying about an equipment bag he reported stolen but later found in a pile of clothes in his laundry room. Seattlepi.com reported the 31-year department veteran, Ernest Hall, was fired in August after being placed on leave in February.

Police reports say Hall reported his bag stolen in October 2014. The bag contained several items, including his firearm, radio and ammunition. Hall later told police his bag was returned to him.

According to reports, Hall found his bag under a pile of clothes in his home, but continued to mislead police about how it went missing.

Alaska spent $50K to prep for Obama visit

By Becky Bohrer Associated Press

ANDREW HARNIK / ASSOCIATED PRESS

President Barack Obama gestures towards Bear Glacier, which has receded 1.8 miles in approximately 100 years, while on a boat tour in Resurrection Cove, Alaska, on Sept. 1.

Alaska was unusually long and received international attention.

Alaska’s contract listed Peter Rouse and Mark Patterson as authorized representatives for Perkins Coie. Rouse was a longtime Obama aide and Patterson was chief of staff to two Treasury secretaries under Obama. They lead the firm’s public and strategic affairs practice based in Washington, D.C. Among the scope of possible services, the contract listed assisting Walker’s staff in preparing the governor for meetings and interactions with Obama and senior Obama administration officials, and providing advice to Walker and his staff on ways to “maximize productive collaboration” with the Obama administration during the planning phase prior to the president’s visit.

Seattle police officer fired

A federal judge in Seattle says he won’t issue an emergency order allowing tens of thousands of highly skilled immigrants to immediately apply to become permanent residents, as the government initially told them they could.

U.S. District Judge Ricardo Martinez ruled Wednesday that lawyers for the immigrants had not shown they were likely to win their case or that the order would be in the public interest. The State Department said last month that some immigrants would be able to file their final green card paperwork beginning Oct. 1. Weeks later it severely curtailed who could apply, saying it made a mistake on the initial notice.

JUNEAU, Alaska — Gov. Bill Walker’s administration spent $50,000 on consultants to help prepare for a visit by President Barack Obama and nearly another $2,000 on a professional photographer to capture what was described as a once-in-a-lifetime encounter.

The expenditures were revealed in public records obtained by The Associated Press and came at a time when state spending is under renewed scrutiny as Alaska grapples with multibillion-dollar budget deficits amid low oil prices.

The firm Perkins Coie was hired in a contract running from July 8 to Aug. 31, when Obama arrived in Alaska for a multiday visit. The contract was for up to $50,000 — the final amount paid, Walker spokeswoman Katie Marquette said Tuesday.

Obama visited Alaska over three days in late August and early September, speaking at a U.S. State Department-hosted Arctic climate summit in Anchorage before traveling to outlying communities as part of an effort to draw attention to climate change concerns.

It wasn’t clear if governors of other states hired consultants before presidential visits. The president’s visits to other states have been brief. Obama’s trip to

NORTHWEST BRIEFLY

Marquette said Walker’s office worked with Rouse, who is knowledgeable about how the White House works and was able to provide “valuable input in preparing for this, really, once-ina-lifetime opportunity and how the state could get the most out of it.”

Rouse advised the governor’s office on ways to approach the Obama administration, provided guidance on White House protocol and organization, and acted as a sounding board for some of the Walker administration’s ideas and written communications, she said.

Rouse also encouraged Walker’s office to use the visit as an opportunity to push Alaska’s pending Medicaid-related requests, which it did, Marquette said. That resulted in speedier

and even more beneficial decisions from the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services than the state health department had anticipated, including expected policy changes that could mean millions of dollars in savings for the state, she said.

Money for the contract came from the governor’s office budget, which includes funds set aside for contingency expenses, she said. The money used did not take away from anything else, she said.

Walker was expected to meet Wednesday with the Interior secretary to discuss oil development in Alaska, Marquette said.

Walker flew to Washington so he could accompany Obama on Air Force One on the president’s flight to Alaska. In an op-ed, Walker said he was able to spend nearly two hours with Obama during that trip, discussing issues of concern to Alaska.

The contract was in documents released by the offices of Walker and Lt. Gov. Byron Mallott for their associated costs.

The documents included an invoice for $1,925 from Clark James Mishler Photography for photographing the Anchorage arrivals of Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry.

The invoice is for 11 hours of photography and production at $175 an hour. Photos were shared with the media and public, she said.

The Washington State Ferries is auctioning off nine generators it bought for $5.3 million nine years ago but never used. The agency has listed the generators on the Public Surplus website with an opening price of $300,000.

So far, no one has made a bid.

The Kitsap Sun reported the generators were intended as replacements for the state’s super-class ferries. After making the purchase, ferry officials later discovered that the vessels’ control systems wouldn’t support those higher voltage generators.

Ore.: Stadium fire Three boys will spend up to five years on probation for their roles in a fire that destroyed the wooden grandstands at Eugene’s historic Civic Stadium. The three boys reached out-of-court settlements with prosecutors on charges of second-degree arson and recklessly endangering another person, the Register-Guard reported.

Day for indigenous The Portland City Council has voted to mark the second Monday in October as “Indigenous Peoples’ Day.” The resolution unanimously approved Wednesday honors the contributions of Native Americans in the Portland area. It falls on the same date as the federal Columbus Day holiday, which was established in 1937 to commemorate Christopher Columbus’ arrival in the Americas in 1492.

Threat closes campus Southern Oregon University canceled classes Wednesday because of a “potential threat” found in a school facility.

Ashland Police Chief Tighe O’Meara said the department is investigating along with campus security.

TONIGHT’S GAME

Washington at USC, 6 p.m.

TV: ESPN Radio: KOMO (1000 AM)

UW could use another defining win over USC

By Christian Caple The News Tribune

LOS ANGELES — When they visit 17th-ranked USC for a Thursday night game at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, the Washington Huskies won’t just be seeing former coach Steve Sarkisian for the first time since he left UW in December 2013.

They’ll also revisit the site of one of the most significant victories of Sarkisian’s five-year tenure with the Huskies.

It was five years ago this month — October 2, 2010 — that Erik Folk kicked a 32-yard field goal as time expired to give the Huskies a 32-31 win over USC on the hallowed Coliseum grass, the second win for UW over the Trojans in as many seasons.

The first, a 16-13 upset victory over 3rd-ranked USC at Husky Stadium in the third week of the 2009 season — Sarkisian’s first at UW — provided instant hope that the Huskies could recover from their 0-12 finish the year prior. But winning in Los Angeles meant a little more — that victory in 2010 helped the Huskies finish the regular season with a 6-6 record and qualify for their first bowl game in eight years, and it gave Sarkisian some much-needed cachet as a young head coach.

Asked this week to assess the significance of those victories, Sarkisian, now in his second season at USC, described them as “really helpful” in establishing proper morale and culture among the team and the UW fanbase, and thought it gave potential recruits “a glimpse of what the future might hold.”

“To go in and get two consecutive wins against SC at the time when we were at Washington,” Sarkisian said, “I thought was

The Silvertips’ Devon Skoleski shares a laugh with teammates during practice on Wednesday afternoon at Xfinity Arena in Everett.

Rookie duo blossoming Dewar and Skoleski have been impressive for Tips early in season

By Jesse Geleynse Herald Writer

EVERETT — Who will score the goals?

It has become a familiar refrain for the Everett Silvertips and their fans in recent seasons.

So far in the young 2015-16 campaign the rookies have matched the returning veterans in producing their fair share of goals.

Sixteen-year-old Connor Dewar and 18-year-old rookie Devon Skoleski have combined for three of Everett’s six goals thus far in the season. Dewar scored his first career goal in his first WHL game with an open-netter in Everett’s 2-0 seasonopening win at Prince George two weeks ago. Dewar then found himself in the starting lineup two nights later when captain Dawson Leedahl was out with an injury.

“A lot of guys don’t get a chance to score in their first WHL game especially when they’re 16,” Dewar said. “I know a lot of guys stress out about it for a long time and it affects their game play and their thought process when it comes to shooting.”

Skoleski scored Everett’s first and third goals in a 3-1 win at Portland on Saturday.

His first goal came with assists from fellow rookies Jake Christiansen and Sean Mallonee. The second added insurance at 5:11 in the third period and came off a feed from Cole MacDonald.

“It was a nice play by (MacDonald),” Skoleski said. “He really put it in my wheelhouse.”

Dewar’s rise to prominence wasn’t surprising given that the forward was Everett’s fourth-round pick in the 2014 bantam draft. Skoleski, however, attended Silvertips training camp as a listed player and signed his WHL standard player agreement on Sept. 9.

“He’s a testimony to the rewards that are around the corner when a strong work ethic meets opportunity,” Silvertips general manager Garry Davidson said in a press release when Skoleski signed. “He gets around the ice very well and has a great skill package. With his history of offensive production, we’re confident his upside will be a tremendous fit.”

Skoleski made the team with an impressive preseason that saw him tally two goals and an assist while playing in six contests.

Seahawks hoping Lynch Seahawks’ offensive line under fire for team’s offensive problems can play versus Bengals The star running back missed Seattle’s 13-10 win in Monday’s game against the Lions with a hamstring injury.

‘We have to be better,’ offensive line coach Tom Cable says of his struggling unit.

By Nick Patterson Herald Writer

By Nick Patterson

RENTON — The Seattle Seahawks are hoping they get their No. 1 running back in time for Sunday’s difficult road game at Cincinnati.

Seattle coach Pete Carroll described Marshawn Lynch as day-to-day during his press conference Wednesday at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center.

Lynch sat out Monday night’s 13-10 victory over the Detroit Lions because of a hamstring injury. It was just the second game Lynch missed in his six seasons with the Seahawks.

But Carroll injected an element of optimism when discussing Lynch’s status Wednesday.

“We’re going day-to-day on this thing,” Carroll said. “It will take us all the way to the end of the week before we know.

He did make a lot of progress last week and was able to run around some and all that. He’s

Herald Writer

RENTON — Oddly enough, the play that best describes the Seattle Seahawks’ current woes on offense was a 34-yard completion.

There were 11 minutes, 15 seconds remaining in the second quarter of Monday’s 13-10 victory over the Detroit Lions, and the Seahawks were facing thirdand-12 at their own 42-yard line. The moment the ball was snapped Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson was in trouble.

Detroit’s Jason Jones, lined up at right defensive tackle, made a brief hesitation move at the line and blew past flat-footed Seahawks left guard Justin Britt, who fell down as he ineffectually tried to push Jones off course.

Jones had a clear path at Wilson. But Wilson somehow spun away from Jones, eluded Ezekiel

worked really hard at that, so we’ll see if we can get it done.”

Lynch is one of two Seattle running backs whose status is questionable for Sunday. Thirddown back Fred Jackson suffered Marshawn a sprained ankle Lynch in Monday’s game and his availability this week is also in the air, though again Carroll expressed some optimism.

“Fred looks pretty good,” Carroll said. “He had what we would call a high ankle sprain, but he’s getting around OK. It’s a little bit of a surprise, we’ve got to see what that means. It’s going to take him all week, too, to figure out whether he can run on it. But he’s bouncing around a little bit and he’s hopeful he can pull it off.”

S

tate hunting season prospects are always a mix of pluses and minuses, and this year appears to be no different. According to biologists, wildfires in north-central Washington will have relatively little effect on mule deer hunting this fall, and the same applies generally to drought conditions relative to upland birds and waterfowl.

Consecutive mild winters have allowed an increase, in many cases, of big game and game bird populations, so all things considered, the outlook for the 2015 season is surprisingly good.

Following is a quick rundown of some of the more popular hunts and productive areas, supplied by Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife sources:

Top prospect If you’re a snow goose hunter, you must be foaming at the mouth as you wait for October 17th. Paul de Bruyn, WDFW’s assistant district game biologist for Whatcom and Skagit counties, is almost capering with delight.

“This flight of snow geese is off the charts,” he said. “Almost certainly one of the very best in a long, long time. And even better, it looks like the juvenile component is running somewhere around 30 percent.”

Juvenile snows — this year’s hatch — are the “dumb” birds which decoy easily and usually form the core of the harvest in this area.

De Bruyn said that as of this week there were probably 10,000 snows on Fir Island; early, he said, for that many geese to already be on their winter habitat.

Remember that snow goose hunters must have a special harvest report card (available online), and that there are other rules unique to the species and hunting in Goose Management Area 1 (Snohomish, Skagit and Island counties). So read the regulations, and while you’re at it, type “snow goose quality hunt program” in the search window of WDFW’s hunting web page.

Ducks The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service says that waterfowl populations in North America remain at high levels

PICK OF THE WEEK | Seep Lakes Fishing

Outdoor calendar

Autumn in the Columbia Basin is a great time to be outdoors, and if you’re a bi-sportsman — that is, a hunter and a fisherman — the “seep lakes” below Potholes Reservoir in Grant County offer a good opportunity for a combo trip.

Trout and ducks. Geese and walleye. Pheasant and bass, or crappie, or perch and on and on. Toss a couple of rods in with the shell vest, and maybe a small inflatable, and you’re in business.

Right now, Mike Meseberg of MarDon Resort on the reservoir recommends Soda Lake for walleye; Windmill, Canal and Heart lakes for trout; and the west end of Corral Lake for a shot at big triploids.

and that an excellent fall flight is predicted for this fall. The USFW estimate of breeding ducks this year was 49.5 million birds, slightly above last year’s record count and the highest number since surveys began in 1955.

The majority of Pacific Flyway birds come down from breeding areas in western Canada and Alaska, peaking here in November, and counts this year are similar to 2014, and 33 percent above the long-term average.

Until migrant ducks arrive, locally-produced birds must carry the hunting season. Local duck counts show some effects of drought conditions present in all west coast states, but mallard numbers remain similar to 2014 and above the long-term average. State surveys, in fact, showed two species important to early-season hunters up significantly: wigeon, by 23 percent, and green-winged teal, by 110 percent. The first week of the season usually results in an average of between three and four ducks per person from such spots as Frenchman Hills and Winchester wasteways, and the dunes portion of north Potholes Reservoir.

The bottom line: biologists predict our top-producing area, the Columbia Basin, should be pretty good but probably not quite as good as 2014.

Pheasant The only pheasant planting site north of us now is the Leque Island (“Smith Farm”) unit of the Skagit Wildlife Area, just west of Stanwood. Birds are planted for hunting Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday, and WDFW area manager, Belinda Schuster, said she is getting a slightly higher number of pen-raised pheasant this year than last.

The Bow Hill site was never a success, and the Samish site was opened this year only for the short senior and youth hunts.

Snohomish County planting

The Resort fishing pier has been putting out crappie, perch and trout, and trolling on the reservoir is lights out for smallish walleye and larger fish to 12 to 14 pounds.

Bank fishermen in the seeps soak Powerbait or worm/marshmallow combinations, or cast small spoons such as the Dick Nite, or spinner flies such as the Rooster Tail, tipped with a piece of worm. Boaters with a cartopper, pontoon boat or other inflatable troll the same gear, or a Wedding Ring spinner in red, orange or pink, also with a worm.

sites — Ebey Island, Crescent Lake, Cherry Valley and Stillwater — “are planted randomly, four days a week, but always loaded up for the weekend,” said manager Brian Boehm.

He’s also getting a few more birds this season, about 500 per week, and each unit thus receives roughly 125 birds weekly.

Planting sites can be found on WDFW’s hunting web page.

The best wild-pheasant hunting is found in Grant County, particularly the irrigated portions and a mild winter means more birds than usual this fall. For wild birds, try the Desert Unit of the Columbia Basin Wildlife Area, between Potholes Reservoir and the town of George. For a mix of wild and planted pheasant, try the Crab Creek, Gloyd Seeps, Quincy and Dry Falls units.

For planting details, go to the WDFW hunting web site.

Elk Yakima and Kittitas counties traditionally provide the best elk hunting in the state, and a series of mild winters bodes well for this season also. The Yakima herd is 12,000 strong, and the numbers are above average for a modern firearm season which runs Oct. 31 to Nov. 8.

That’s a week later than usual, which opens the possibility of snow in the high country and elk coming down.

“If we get early snow, hunting can be great,” said district wildlife biologist Jeff Bernatowicz in Yakima.

The district puts out the highest modern firearm success rates in the state, and Bernatowicz likes the Naneum (328) and Quilomene (329) units in the Colockum (“although it can be a bit of a zoo around the reserve”), and Little Naches (346) and Bumping (356) units west of Yakima.

“With the Yakima herd, you should hunt as high as possible,” he said.

In southwest Washington, best elk hunting is found with the Willapa Hills herd (Pacific and Grays Harbor counties) and units 658, 672, 673, and 681. Also good opportunity in Thurston and Pierce county units 652, 666, and 667.

Arrieta, Cubs silence Pirates Chicago starter tosses 9 brilliant innings as Cubs advance to NLDS with 4-0 win over Pittsburgh.

Associated Press PITTSBURGH — These Chicago Cubs are supposed to be too young to be here. Or maybe they’re just too good to care.

Jake Arrieta allowed four hits in nine dominant innings and the Cubs rolled to a 4-0 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates in the NL wild-card game on Wednesday night.

Arrieta struck out 11 without a walk. He also dusted himself off getting plunked by Pittsburgh reliever Tony Watson to send the Cubs to the NL Division Series in St. Louis starting on Friday.

“I’m exhausted. I haven’t felt this way all year,” said Arrieta, who led the majors with 22 wins. “This atmosphere, the energy was unbelievable. Tried to use it to the best of my ability. They were loud, they were really loud.”

Dexter Fowler homered and scored three times for the Cubs.

Kyle Schwarber added a towering two-run shot off Pittsburgh starter Gerrit Cole as Chicago raced to an early lead and let Arrieta do the rest.

The largest crowd ever at PNC Park failed to rattle Arrieta or one of baseball’s youngest teams. First-year manager Joe Maddon’s club played with swagger and confidence and looked right at home while snapping a nine-game playoff losing streak that dated to the 2003 NL Championship Series.

“It’s tremendous for the city.

The deadline is noon Monday.

If the primary goal is a trophy bull, better opportunity exists in the Olympic or St. Helens herds.

Mule deer The Okanogan/Methow district supports the largest migratory mule deer herd in the state, and prospects are excellent despite the fires last year and this. The herd is growing and high buck escapement recently means a better chance for an older age-class buck. As with elk, the later season this year could mean hunters will catch the start of the migration to winter range. If so, biologists recommend hunting lower elevation, south-facing slopes.

Although fires did little damage to animal populations, some access problems could exist.

Other deer Northeast Washington whitetail herds have benefitted from recent mild winters, with best hunting available in most units in Ferry, Stevens and Pend Oreille counties.

Harvest during general modern firearm season here usually shows a success rate of 25 to 30 percent.

Southwest Washington hosts the best blacktail hunting in the state, and last year very good buck numbers came from Ryderwood (530), Lincoln (501), Winston (520) and Coweeman (550).

NL Wild Card Cubs 4, Pirates 0 DON WRIGHT / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo (44) holds starting pitcher Jake Arrieta as shortstop Starlin Castro (13) joins in the celebration after Chicago defeated the Pirates in the NL wild-card game Wednesday.

It’s been a while,” Arrieta said.

“Chicago’s been waiting for this, but it’s only step one.”

Pittsburgh was knocked out after finishing second in the majors with 98 victories this year. Last season, the Pirates also were shut out on four hits at home in the wild-card game, losing to San Francisco.

“Well, sports is hard. Life’s not fair. You go out and play.

You get beat, you move on,” manager Clint Hurdle said.

The bearded, 29-year-old Arrieta, still unbeaten since July 25, stretched his remarkable second half — in which he posted an 0.75 ERA — into the opening round of the playoffs.

He threw the first completegame shutout for the Cubs in the postseason since Claude Passeau tossed a one-hitter in the 1945 World Series against Detroit.

Arrieta even laughed off a weird sequence in the seventh

when Watson’s fastball hit him in his left side. The benches and bullpens cleared when Watson was issued a warning, leading to little more than a few heated exchanges along the first base line.

“I hit two guys, unintentionally. I’m not trying to hurt or hit anybody,” Arrieta said. “Balls were slick tonight. I just lost it a couple of times, it kind of ran away from me.”

“I expected that. They’re going to take care of their own guys.

It’s understandable. Everything after that was fine,” he said.

Pirates utility player Sean Rodriguez, who’d already been pulled, was ejected and proceeded to give an unsuspecting water cooler a series of one-two combinations, eventually sending it tumbling to the ground.

Arrieta retired 10 straight at one point, his only real wobbles coming in the sixth and seventh innings.

Snohomish rallies late for five-set victory

By Aaron Lommers Herald Writer

SNOHOMISH — Down two sets and trailing 23-20 in the third, things were looking bleak for the Snohomish volleyball team on Wednesday night.

But the Panthers rallied by scoring six of the final seven points in the third set to stave off defeat, sparking a rally that culminated with a 3-2 win over Lake Stevens.

“We don’t stop believing in ourselves,” Snohomish head coach Alex Tarin said. “We do this drill in practice where we do situationals down by three and even down by four at 24-20 and we just work on those scenarios, so we’ve been in that scenario before. To see the girls pull through is great.”

Set scores were 21-25, 22-25, 26-24, 25-21 and 15-6.

It’s the fourth win in a row for the Panthers, who improved to 5-3 this season after a 1-3 start. Snohomish lost to the Vikings in the first match of the season, but avenged that loss with Wednesday’s victory.

The Panthers only other losses in the first half of the season came to Monroe and Kamiak.

Some of the blame for Snohomish’s early season struggles comes from not playing with its full complement of players.

“The first half of the season we didn’t have all of our players,” Tarin said. “Tonight, we had all of our players. This is the first match where we had all of our players.

KEVIN CLARK / THE HERALD

Snohomish’s Jessica Johnson (left) and Lake Stevens’ Elise Gooding meet at the net during a match Wednesday night. Johnson and the Panthers rallied for a five-set victory over the Vikings in Snohomish.

Maybe game one and game two we struggled just a little bit because we weren’t used to that lineup. Tonight was our full lineup that we’re going to go with this year and I love it. It looks great.”

The Panthers were led by senior

Jessica Brennis, who finished the match with 28 kills, four aces and nine digs. With senior Kyla Mellick moving from outside hitter to libero, Brennis has been the Panthers’ go-to hitter so far this season.

Presidents Cup kinder to USA than Ryder Cup Associated Press

INCHEON, South Korea — Comparing the Presidents Cup to the Ryder Cup is like listening to a conversation between a Scot and an American.

The words might be similar, but they sound nothing alike.

The biggest difference with the Presidents Cup is an American team that is filled with smiles, not stress. And there’s a reason for that. The Americans haven’t lost in these matches since 1998, and the last four have not been particularly close.

They walk taller. They worry less.

Jordan Spieth has played in one of each in his short but already stellar career, and it was hard not to notice the contrast between the two cups.

“It seems there is a bit of a difference in the two teams rooms in the Presidents Cup experience I’ve had and the Ryder Cup last year,” Spieth said Wednesday. “Almost like we put too much emphasis on the Ryder Cup instead of just freeing up to play our own game.”

Ryder Cup practice rounds felt like dress rehearsals. Presidents Cup practice rounds feel like a Tuesday money game on tour.

“We feel like the favorites,” Spieth said. “We’re walking around with cockiness in our step, and often that can bite you if you’re not careful, but we’re aware of that.

But the point is, we’re out

there smiling because we believe whatever matchup we want to put together, we believe we can beat the other team.”

The Americans, who have won the Ryder Cup only one time in the last 16 years, go after their sixth straight victory in the Presidents Cup when the matches get started Thursday at the Jack Nicklaus Golf Club Korea.

Adam Scott, who has yet to play on a winning Presidents Cup team in six previous tries, and Hideki Matsuyama lead off the foursomes session against J.B. Holmes and Bubba Watson, two of the longest hitters in golf.

Spieth and Dustin Johnson are in the anchor match against Marc Leishman and Danny Lee. A lively opening ceremony Wednesday night, which featured South Korean President Park Geun-hye and former President George W. Bush, began with great suspense when a secret box was carried onto the stage. It was carefully opened to reveal the shiny gold Presidents Cup trophy.

But there really hasn’t been much suspense at all.

The last time it was close was in 2003 at South Africa when it ended in a tie after Ernie Els and Tiger Woods matched pars in three sudden-death playoff holes before it was too dark to continue. Jack Nicklaus was the captain that year, and he mentioned that Presidents Cup in a speech Wednesday night. Nicklaus referred

Trinity Lutheran drops pair Herald staff

The Trinity Lutheran women also played Carroll on Wednesday, falling 3-0.

to it as the greatest sporting event in which he had ever taken part.

“We have that opportunity again this week,” Nicklaus said.

The Presidents Cup has lacked the rancor of the Ryder Cup, which is inevitable when it’s a competition between two tours (PGA and Europe) instead of the Americans against an International team in which all but one player — Thongchai Jaidee of Thailand — is or will be a PGA Tour member.

“They’re all Americans, they were just born in a different country,” U.S. assistant captain Fred Couples said.

This is the first Presidents Cup without Woods since 1996 when he was a 20-year-old playing on sponsor exemptions to avoid going to Q-school.

Els didn’t qualify and didn’t feel worthy of a pick, so he is out for the first time since 2005.

Price has an International team that is the youngest ever despite the 45-year-old Thongchai.

The captain is worried that if the Presidents Cup is another blowout, even some of the players might start losing interest.

What might give these matches a little edge is a debate over the number of matches, which were reduced from 34 to 30 this year in a decision that left neither team happy.

The International team wanted it lowered to 28, like the Ryder Cup. The Americans wanted it to stay at 34.

“Jessica is a great, great hitter,” Tarin said. “At the beginning of the year other players were getting a lot of the credit and Jess just kept working hard. I knew as a coach that Jessica was going to have a great year. She’s had a

great year so far.”

Mellick switched positions with senior Cyrene Hertzog, who has been the team’s libero for the past two seasons. Hertzog is headed to the University of Hawaii on a beach volleyball scholarship, so Tarin wanted to get her more hitting opportunities in her senior season. Tarin said Mellick, who will likely be a libero in college, offered to switch spots with Hertzog to help out the team.

“We’re really deep, which is a great problem to have,” Tarin said. “Cyrene has always played libero for us, but this year Kyla stepped up to the challenge and said ‘that’s what I’m probably playing in college, so I want to do that here.’ Kyla stepped it up and I talked to her and she loves it.

She’s doing a great, great job.”

Mellick finished Wednesday’s match with two aces and 30 digs.

Hertzog missed the first half of the Panthers’ season traveling with her family, but returned to the lineup for the first time on Wednesday. Her season debut was a success. She finished with 14 kills and 12 digs.

“She’s a fabulous player,” Tarin said. “Being able to go halfway through the season (without her) and add her to your team. That’s a great asset and we’re excited to have her back.”

SEAHAWKS | Next opponent

Things get interesting when Bengals break huddle

By Joe Kay Associated Press

CINCINNATI — Sixth play of the game. The Bengals break the huddle on second-and-1. Left tackle Andrew Whitworth lingers in the backfield and then takes the position of a fullback.

What?

After he’s gotten the Kansas City defense’s attention, Whitworth slides over to his usual spot on the line and blocks for Jeremy Hill, who gets the first down with a 3-yard run. Not the first time the Bengals (4-0) have left everyone wondering what’s going on.

They’re becoming known for it.

“We’ve got so many different things that we do,” quarterback Andy Dalton said on Wednesday. “We come up with some good stuff. And you never know what it’s going to be each week.”

Last season, offensive coordinator Hue Jackson turned Dalton into a receiver against the Titans. Dalton flipped the ball to receiver Mohamed Sanu and drifted out for a pass. Cornerback Blidi Wreh-Wilson went for the interception and missed, allowing Dalton to catch the ball and go 18 yards for the first touchdown reception by a Bengals quarterback.

That was just a jumping-off point. Jackson has opened his playbook of tricks this season.

An offensive lineman who was brought in as an extra blocker caught a 31-yard pass.

Whitworth has lined up in the backfield and as a slot receiver.

Both tackles wound up on the same side of the field.

And so it goes.

Jackson’s always thinking about different ways to do things.

“Oh yeah, I’ve got issues that way,” he said after practice. “I

do. I can be in a number of different places and things kind of pop into your head. Or you can be somewhere eating and something just comes to you.”

They get interesting reactions when they show it to the players for the first time.

“I think some of them think I’m crazy,” Jackson said. “That’s OK. I’ve been called that before.

I’ll take that identity every now and then. I think they like it.

I think they know every week something can come out of nowhere.”

Dalton is one of the first to see the game plan each week and right away has some questions.

“I always ask: Who came up with this one? How’d this one come about?” Dalton said.

“That’s just kind of part of what we do, though.”

Part of Jackson’s creativity comes from his players’ versatility. Sanu is an excellent passer.

The linemen are comfortable playing different spots. And the receivers and running backs are accustomed to moving around.

The Bengals’ offense ranks

second in the NFL in total yards heading into a home game Sunday against Seattle (2-2), which has the NFL’s second-ranked defense and has allowed only one field goal in its opponents’ past 18 possessions.

Naturally, Jackson spent some time thinking up new wrinkles for the Seahawks.

“We haven’t even scratched the surface,” he said. “What is this, game five coming up?

Come on now. We haven’t even got close. We’ve done nothing.”

What about Whitworth lining up in the backfield and running the ball?

“You never know,” Jackson said. “He wants one bad.”

Notes DE Wallace Gilberry (calf) and cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones (groin) were held out of practice on Wednesday. Jones was injured during a 36-21 win over Kansas City on Sunday. Backup Darqueze Dennard filled in and was on the field for 49 percent of the plays on defense, a season high. ... RB Jeremy Hill (knee), S George Iloka (ankle) and S Reggie Nelson (hamstring) were limited in practice.

NFL owners expect future vote on L.A. relocation Associated Press NEW YORK — NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell expects owners will vote on franchise relocation to Los Angeles.

When is another matter.

Goodell said Wednesday the owners expressed interest “in wanting to be there, but also recognize we need to find solutions. Our relocation policy is very important.”

The St. Louis Rams, Oakland Raiders and San Diego Chargers all have designs on moving to LA, which has not had an NFL franchise since 1995, when the Rams and Raiders left.

The current timetable calls for submission of applications to relocate in January, when the owners could vote.

There has been speculation that timetable could be moved

Seahawks From Page C1

It may have worked out for the Seahawks that time, but how many more times can Seattle’s offense survive with its quarterback constantly under pressure?

“We have to be better,” Seahawks offensive line coach Tom Cable said. “That’s the bottom line, we have to be better.”

The play of the offensive line was the hot topic Wednesday at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center, as it’s come under fire for its performance through the first four games of the season. The starting five of center Drew Nowak, guards Britt and J.R. Sweezy, and tackles Russell Okung and Garry Gilliam was under the microscope following a game in which Wilson was sacked six times and took another 10 hits.

“Criticism? I don’t pay attention to that,” was Britt’s reaction.

“I just know people and reporters will watch and not know what they’re looking for. They haven’t played football before.

I laugh at them and don’t give them the time of day. I’m in here every day and know what’s going on.”

up to December, when the next owners meeting occurs in Dallas. But Pittsburgh Steelers President Art Rooney said he doesn’t envision that.

“I don’t think we’ll move up the deadline,” Rooney said. “We have cities that still are putting together their proposals” to keep their teams.

Eric Grubman, the league’s main point man on Los Angeles, added that the NFL is not married to a vote in January, either, and that it could come later, particularly if one of the applicants is in the playoffs.

“Our timeline and planning for at least 12 months has been to enable a January decision,” Grubman said. “But we have never committed to January.

Today we continued on that path. ... It could be January or it could be later.”

Grubman admitted for a team or two to call LA home next season, the latest it could get approval would probably be March or April.

“If you look at it through what a club has to do if they’re not certain they’re going to Los Angeles, do they put their tickets on sale or not, then January is much much better than March,” he said.

The Rams are proposing a stadium in Inglewood, California, while the Raiders and Chargers have one planned for Carson. Those teams’ owners were excused from a round table session during Wednesday’s fall meetings, and the other 29 owners voiced their opinions on approving any moves to LA. Goodell said it’s “very positive” to have two alternatives in what he also called “the entertainment capital of the world.”

But it’s hard to ignore the numbers. Wilson has been sacked 18 times through four games this season, tying him with Kansas City’s Alex Smith for the most in the NFL. He’s on pace to be sacked 72 times, which is just four fewer than the NFL record of 76 the unfortunate David Carr suffered for Houston in 2002. Only one other quarterback has been sacked 70 times in a season, that being Philadelphia’s Randall Cunningham in 1986.

The offensive line has never been Seattle’s strength since Wilson took over as the starter in 2012, but this is getting ridiculous. The most times he was sacked in a previous season was 44, which at the current rate will be surpassed in the fourth quarter of the Seahawks’ 10th game.

The numbers from the running game don’t offer much solace. Seattle’s overall rushing totals — 512 yards, 4.4 yards per carry — are among the NFL leaders. However, a big chunk of those yards were gained by Wilson, largely on scrambles.

The numbers for primary backs Marshawn Lynch and Thomas Rawls are much more pedestrian as through four games they’ve combined for 71.3 yards per game at 3.9 yards a pop.

Seattle has scored just five touchdowns on its 41 offensive possessions so far this season.

That’s tied with San Francisco for the worst rate in the NFL. The Seahawks have received TDs from their defense, their kickoff return team and their punt return team, but have yet to get a rushing touchdown.

Most are pointing at the offensive line, which includes two brand-new starters (Nowak, Gilliam) and a player making a position switch (Britt), as the reason for those issues.

“We’re a little shaky at times, I think everybody can notice that,” Sweezy said.

“We can’t let the quarterback get hit as much as he’s getting hit,” Sweezy added. “That’s just obvious. In the run game it’s just being on the same page, and if we do that we’re pretty good.

That’s the thing, though. If we’re not all on the same page, that’s when we get into trouble.”

There are those who place the responsibility of the sacks on Wilson for holding onto the ball too long. Wilson had two fourth-quarter fumbles Monday, the first of which ended a drive in Detroit territory, the second of which was scooped up and returned for a touchdown to get the Lions back in the game.

Huskies From Page C1

good for our conference, it was good obviously for our university, and it was good for that rivalry.”

They were landmark victories, the kind that will be remembered fondly despite the relative mediocrity that defined Sarkisian’s time with the Huskies.

And they were the kind of wins that have so far eluded secondyear UW coach Chris Petersen, whose young team faces a daunting challenge against the Trojans on Thursday.

None of Washington’s eight victories in 2014 came against an FBS team that finished the season with a winning record. The Huskies’ two wins this season were against an overmatched FCS team (Sacramento State) and an offensively challenged Mountain West team (Utah State). They need to win at least four games against opponents far better to extend their streak of consecutive bowl appearances to six.

Beating USC, like Sarkisian’s team did here in 2010, would be a good start. But as 17-point underdogs, the Huskies know how difficult that proposition is. USC is loaded with 5-star talent, and after the Trojans suffered through a few years of low scholarship numbers due to NCAA sanctions, their roster again resembles that of a top-10 program.

“They feel that they have something to prove,” UW receiver Jaydon Mickens said. “They feel that they should be a playoffcontender team, and we gotta go in there and prove that for ourselves. Because we know we want to be a playoff-conteder team — everybody does. We just can’t let them feel like we’re the underdogs and they’re over us.

We gotta go in there and make it a game.”

Mickens, a Los Angeles native who attended Dorsey High School — fewer than four miles from the Coliseum — is one of 42 players on UW’s roster who list hometowns in southern California.

He grew up rooting for USC and Reggie Bush, and even committed to the Trojans as a high-school junior. And now, as a senior, he’ll play his first game at the Coliseum in front of as many friends and family members as possible. Mickens said he’s been aggressively soliciting extra tickets from teammates to meet high demand.

“I’m planning on doing a lot of Reggie Bush stuff, too,” the ebullient senior cracked earlier this week.

Of playing in the Coliseum, Mickens said: “You could say it’s

Things to know about the matchup

Thursday night special A weekday game at the Coliseum is a rarity. The school resisted such games for years, but got into the rotation for the national spotlight. Unlike UCLA coach Jim Mora, who has bemoaned the academic effects of Thursday games, Sarkisian doesn’t mind, even though some Trojans will be taking midterms on game day. “To me it’s not as big a deal as when you look at other sports like basketball or baseball that travel so much,” Sarkisian said. “For us, it’s a day of school, maybe two days of school.”

Local Huskies As usual, Washington’s starting lineup is dotted with players recruited out of the Los Angeles area — much of it by Sarkisian’s staff, which worked heavily in the talent-rich Southland. Three starting offensive linemen are from the area, as are starting tailback Dwayne Washington and starting receivers Jaydon Mickens and Dante Pettis. At least five defensive starters are from Southern California as well.

Wilcox’s ties Wilcox was the Huskies’ defensive coordinator for two years, but he also had the same job under Petersen at Boise State. Wilcox and Petersen only lost four games during their four seasons together, and Wilcox has praised Petersen’s leadership. Wilcox was criticized last month after Stanford’s victory over USC, but rebounded slightly in public estimation with the Trojans’ performance at Arizona State.

Browning’s growth Washington freshman quarterback Jake Browning opened his college career with a 150-yard performance at Boise State last month. He hasn’t played on the road since, and the Coliseum is a formidable challenge for any quarterback. Petersen acknowledges that his young quarterback is still learning.

“We’re trying to get him more reps, really, because he hasn’t had a whole lot,” Petersen said. “It’s that fine balance between flooding him, overloading him, and still being able to scheme things how we’d like to.” The only other true freshman to start a season opener for the Huskies? That would be Tuiasosopo.

Associated Press a big deal, especially for people that have never seen you play live or anything like that. For it to be USC, a school that, if you’re from California, you wanted to go to USC. You can be a Cal fan, you can be anything, but you wanted to go to USC at some point in your life.

“But ultimately, I’m coming to play football.”

And when it comes to playing football against the Trojans, the Huskies would do well to play it the way they did under Sarkisian five years ago.

Floods force LSU-South Carolina to be moved Associated Press COLUMBIA, S.C. — The game between No. 7 LSU and South Carolina on Saturday is being moved to Baton Rouge because of ongoing problems after flooding around Columbia.

Gamecocks officials said Wednesday the kickoff time

“We’re taking sacks at an alarming rate right now,” Seahawks offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell said. “We can improve it. It’s really in a lot of areas. You can’t really pin it on one group, one person. I know there’s a lot of concern with the offensive line, a lot of talk about that, but we can all do better. The quarterbacks in terms of getting the ball out at times, receivers getting open on time, the offensive line protecting him, myself helping in any way I can to give us better chances to do all three of those things. We’ll just continue to work that.”

Where does that work currently stand with regard to the offensive line? Cable said the communication on his inexperienced unit has improved as the season has progressed, and that it’s now a case of “winning your one-on-one battles.

“This has always been kind of a work in progress,” Cable added.

“I said when they get it they’re going to be really good. That hasn’t changed.”

The starting unit apparently isn’t changing, either, as Cable said he was sticking with the same five for Sunday’s game at Cincinnati. But for Seattle’s offense to get back up to speed, the results from the offensive line will have to.

has not been announced for the Southeastern Conference matchup.

University of South Carolina President Harris Pastides canceled classes this week because 34,000 students were too much for the recovering city, so 84,000 people coming for a football game would overwhelm the area.

Lynch From Page C1

The only other running back on Seattle’s roster is Thomas Rawls. Fullback Derrick Coleman would be next in line for carries should both Lynch and Jackson be unavailable.

Seattle had one other starter miss Monday’s game as defensive tackle Brandon Mebane sat out with a groin injury. However, Carroll said Mebane should be ready to go Sunday.

Cornerback Marcus Burley, who suffered a broken thumb in Monday’s game, was scheduled to undergo surgery Thursday.

Carroll said Burley could potentially make a “very quick recovery,” though it will depend on how the surgery goes.

Decisions on defensive end Demarcus Dobbs (shoulder) and linebacker Kevin Pierre-Louis (hamstring), who sat out Monday, will be made later in the week. Cornerback Tharold Simon (toe), who also missed Monday, is not expected back this week.

Silvertips From Page C1

“It’s tough to put into words but it’s obviously an honor to play here,” Skoleski said.

“Just coming in as a listed guy and being where I am right now — it’s nice.”

Standing just 5-foot-9 and weighing 150 pounds Skoleski is not among the larger forwards either with the Silvertips or in the WHL. Still, it was hard to ignore the production he turned in last season when he scored 25 goals with 31 assists in 44 games for the Eastman Selects of the Manitoba Midget Hockey League.

“He produced offense at a different level,” Silvertips head coach Kevin Constantine said. “That doesn’t mean a guy is going to produce offense at this level immediately, but it generally will mean if they have time and a little bit of experience and they get to play in the league two to three years they’ll become the player they were at this level. Devon had nice offensive numbers last year so he’s got that in his potential.”

Skoleski’s 2014-15 season followed another impressive showing the year prior when he scored 12 goals with 14 assists in 32 games for Eastman.

He said the points are nice, but worrying about the numbers isn’t productive as the Silvertips move into the third weekend of the regular season.

“It’s obviously a different league and a different pace of hockey,” Skoleski said. “I got some points back last year, but moving forward I’m just trying to play my best hockey. I’m not really focused on the points.”

Debra and Adan Blangue are the winners of a 2015 Monte Cristo Award in the rejuvenation and transformation category for their flower-filled garden in the Evergreen neighborhood of south Everett.

Herald Writer

EVERETT — Debra and Adan Balangue get a kick out of the reactions that passersby have when they see the Balangues’ garden in the Evergreen neighborhood of south Everett.

“We’re often asked if we run a flower store,” Debra said with a laugh. “Some of our plants are in pots, and people ask if they can buy them.”

It’s a compliment, Adan said.

“I thank them and then tell people they can take a photo,” he said. “And then I tease them and say I am going to charge $1.”

The Balangues are winners of a city Monte Cristo award in the rejuvenation and transformation category.

Keeping Everett beautiful is important to the city and its economy, so each year homeowners and business owners are honored for their efforts to enhance the curb appeal of their properties.

This year’s Monte Cristo awards reception and ceremony is set for 6:30 p.m. Oct. 8 at the Everett Performing Arts Center.

The ceremony will feature

Everett’s 21st annual Monte Cristo awards reception and ceremony will be held at 6:30 p.m.

Oct. 8 at the Everett Performing Arts Center, 2710 Wetmore Ave. For more information, go to www.everettwa.gov/monte cristo.

Bright and vibrant dahlias are a mainstay of the Blangues’ home.

photo presentations of the winning homes and businesses. It’s an opportunity to learn more about Everett’s neighborhoods

and be inspired by three dozen great homes, said Wendy McClure, the city’s coordinator in its Office of Neighborhoods.

The Balangues, both in their late 40s, grew up in the Philippines and work as nurses in adult care facilities in Everett. They

bought their home in early 2010 and began its transformation about three years ago.

“The poor guy who owned this corner lot before could not take care of it,” Debra said. “The lawn was grassy, brown and rocky. It had no plants.”

Adan, whose father was a farmer, has loved gardening for as long as he can remember.

He began to buy inexpensive seedlings and pick up planters and pavers at garage sales, especially in Mill Creek.

“Even my park bench is from a garage sale,” Adan said with a laugh. “Just $10.”

Vases make tulips bloom indoors

T

ulip mania, a strange financial “bubble” in Holland in the 1630s, made a tulip bulb cost up to 10 times the yearly income of a skilled craftsman, according to some writers. So the flowers became a status symbol, and the very rich or royal bought huge flower containers to grow or show the flowers.

Tulip mania ended in 1637, but the flowers remained popular. A vase that is still called a “tulipiere” has numerous holes or short tubes, which hold a flower or plant. Most

This 19th-century Chinese vase is 101⁄2-inches high.

It is made to force bulbs to bloom or to hold cut flowers. It sold at James D. Julia Auctioneers in Fairfield, Maine, www. jamesdjulia.com, in 2015 for $474.

sources today think these vases were used for cut flowers, but they originally were used to force tulip, hyacinth or crocus bulbs to grow and bloom in the house.

Collectors can find rare early Dutch tulip vases, 19th-century Wedgwood or Staffordshire vases, or Continental and American examples, all with multiple holes or tubes.

A few are offered in current gift catalogs. Now is the time to buy the bulbs that can be forced to bloom in a tulipiere during the spring.

Q: I’m planning a house sale and I need help pricing this table. I bought it from a resale shop 60 years ago. The top is oval, made of very dark wood, and rests on two heavy turned tripods. It has a frieze drawer with a metal tag in it that reads “J.B. Van Sciver Co., Camden, N.J.” Can you help?

Flat, satin or semi-gloss? Brush up on paint R

eady to refresh your home’s interior walls with a new coat of paint, but aren’t sure what type to use for each room?

Or do you have other items around the house that need to be spruced up? If painting is on your to-do list, whether it’s by hiring a highly rated professional to tackle the task or rolling up your sleeves and doing it yourself, our experts provided the best paint options to consider for each project.

Which paint do I pick for the interior?

You can find color inspiration anywhere — a flower garden, a fancy cocktail, even a pair of blue

suede shoes. Paint stores have the ability to match any color you bring them, so use your imagination (consider this).

Kitchen: Use a satin or semi-gloss paint, which are easier to wipe down.

Bathroom: Use a satin or eggshell sheen to help ward off watermarks. “A lot of people think the higher the sheen, the more washable it is,” says Andy Neis, owner of Andy’s Custom Painting in Indianapolis.

“That’s not true. Don’t go with a semi-gloss; it’s way too shiny. The higher the sheen, the easier it is to see the imperfections. Don’t use anything higher than an eggshell or satin, and pay a little bit more for

quality paints — they’re more durable.”

Hallways: “High traffic areas need a satin finish to resist the dreaded marks left by bumps and rubs when people walk down the hall,” says Greg Bowers, owner of All Pro Painting Company in Indianapolis.

“If you have a flat finish, you’ll see finger prints.

Satin also stays cleaner, as the dirt doesn’t grip to the slick surface as much as a flat finish.”

Trim/baseboards: Use a semi-gloss, which offers a bit of sheen and is easy to clean.

Living room or bedroom: A satin or eggshell paint flatters these areas.

Ceiling: Use flat paint to

Can you paint ...

Cabinetry? If your kitchen cabinets are in good condition, they can be painted to suit your style or upgrade a dated finish, says Andrew Wagoner, president of Spectrum Painting Corp., in Carmel, Indiana.

“This is an area of expertise for us, and we have very specific processes for painting cabinetry.”

Homeowners who want to tackle the job should scrub and lightly sand the cabinets, apply a primer, and then finish with enamel paint.

“Our specific finish coat

enamel paint of choice is one of the waterborne oil/ alkyd enamels from Porter Paints, Sherwin-Williams or Benjamin Moore, typically in the semi-gloss sheen,” he says.

A bedroom door? “You want to use a semi-gloss paint that will hold up to the constant handling and can be washed,” says Greg Mrakich, owner of Greg Mrakich Painting in Indianapolis. He advises homeowners use a 4-inchwide roller to apply the paint, and then go back over it with a brush to remove any roller marks.

Over wallpaper? To save money, sometimes builders won’t paint a wall if they know wallpaper is going up.

“The paper is on there so well and tight, it becomes part of the drywall,” Mrakich says. “It just doesn’t strip off.

The damage you do to the drywall isn’t worth it.”

Mrakich says homeowners can apply primer over the paper, smooth out any joints and then paint. “It looks good,” he says.

And no matter what paint you go with, our experts agree: Steer clear of the cheapest choices.

“A key element to success is to use premium quality primer and paint products,” Wagoner says.

GREAT PLANT PICK For all ages. Free.

What: Grasses add textural interest to any border and this oriental fountain grass is particularly good for the sunny border.

Pennisetum orientale “Karley Rose” is noted for its attractive rose-colored flowers — spikes that rise above the mound of foliage in late summer. The foliage turns yellowish after frost, but quickly fades to straw-beige by winter.

Flower plumes persist well into winter, providing good winter interest. It looks particularly good when planted with large-leaved perennials for contrast.

Where: The lovely grass needs full sun to flower its best and it will tolerate a hot location. Planting in

Now’s the best time to get spring bulbs planted I

have fond memories of planting bulbs as a youngster.

First, Mom and I would go to the garden center and study all the amazing varieties. After making our decision and purchasing the bulbs, we would go home and lay the bulbs out in the beds in drifts.

Then, I would dig the holes, drop in a teaspoon of bone meal (to this day the smell of bone meal instantly transports me back to that time) and carefully insert the bulbs.

Lastly, I would cover them up and smooth out the ground, removing any evidence that we were ever there. I imagined that I was burying treasure to be found at a later time.

STEVE SMITH THE WHISTLING GARDENER The anticipation was wonderful, but the best part was watching them emerge from the ground two months later. Each day after I came home from school, I would check out their progress to see how much they had grown and feel the stems for a bulge that was the flower yet to come. When they did finally bloom it was like Christmas morning all over again.

If you read the spring bulb article in last week’s Home & Garden section, you already know about the surprising variety of bulbs available to use in a garden. Dare yourself to try something different this year, as bulbs can be very exciting, contrary to what they might look like stuffed into a netted bag with a two-dimensional photo attached.

All it takes to enjoy bulbs is a little vision and a willingness to be patient.

Most bulbs are perennials and will multiply and increase in size and spread every year so they are a good investment. Here are a few tips on planting bulbs: Plant in clumps or drifts. Nothing looks

generally three times the diameter of the bulb. For most tulips, daffodils and hyacinth, I dig a hole 4 to 6 inches deep maximum.

Any deeper and, in our heavy clay soils, they may rot over the winter. For little minor bulbs 1 to 2 inches is plenty deep.

Don’t stress over which end is up. The bulbs will figure out which direction to grow. If you have the time and want to point all their noses up toward the sky then go for it, but in the end it won’t make a difference. If you are not sure which end is up then plant them sideways.

Use bone meal. While bulbs contain everything they need to produce a bloom, they will always look better and bigger if

you throw in some organic food at the time of planting. Bone meal has always been the traditional amendment to use but a balanced bulb food is good too.

Containers can be helpful. If you are short on space or have terrible soil try planting bulbs in containers. It’s quick and easy and when they start to die down you can remove the containers from sight.

October is the best month to plant bulbs and you can find a good selection now so don’t delay.

Just remember to plant them once you get home.

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

“It’s fun to help beautify our community and encourage others to make their homes more beautiful,” he said.

In the spring, Balangue’s neighbors enjoy his display of tulips. In the summer, it’s all about his begonias and potted annuals, which hang from and sit on top of the trellises he built in the front yard.

Other favorites include rhododendrons, roses, dahlias, flax and lilies.

Pruned cedars and boxwood shrubs form the basic landscape.

Currently, Balangue’s pots and flower beds are filled with chrysanthemums, kale and other fall blooms just starting to come on. The hanging baskets are filled with a portulaca called “cupcake purslane.”

“The floral display changes with each season,” Adan said. “It’s my hobby.

I prune, I cultivate, I move the plants around.”

The garden gives her husband a chance to be creative without spending much money, Debra said.

Her job is to water the peanuts (yes, peanuts!), strawberry pots and vegetable gardens growing in the backyard.

Watering also is the job of Jay Isaac, whose wife, Sue, is the head gardener at their home in the Cascade View neighborhood. Also on a corner lot, the home won a Monte Cristo award in 2005.

This year, the Isaacs have been given the prestigious Marian Krell Award for their beautification efforts on an ongoing basis.

“We were surprised to be awarded the Marian Krell.

It’s such an honor and I was tickled,” Sue Isaac said.

“I have no formal training.

I just love to garden, as did my mother. It’s all about trial and error.”

Margaret and Gary Fast, who have a bay view from their property, are the winners of this year’s Monte Cristo award in the Port Gardner neighborhood.

About 12 years ago, the couple ripped out the lawn in front of their house, replacing it with drought tolerant ground covers and plants that are now mature. More recently they replaced the back lawn with a patio.

“We made it through this past long, dry summer just fine,” Margaret said. “Now the main work is just keeping it all trimmed back.”

A mentor to young moms at her church, she told the women that seeking awards for doing what’s right isn’t the best choice.

“But then, tongue-incheek, I told them I had always wanted a Monte Cristo award that recognized all of our hard work,” Fast said. “I can guess who nominated us.”

bar of flashbulbs. It looks like new. What is the value of this camera?

A: Edwin H. Land founded the Polaroid Corporation in 1937. The company made ski goggles, 3-D glasses and glasses for the Army and Navy in the 1930s. The first instant film cameras, the Land camera, was introduced in 1948. Polaroid made the J33 Land camera in 1961.

It originally sold for $89.50.

They sell online for $6 to $15 or $20 today, but they aren’t usable because the camera requires a type of film that hasn’t been made since 1991.

Q: I have a picture titled “Monarch of the Glen” that

was painted by Sir Edwin Landseer in 1851 and engraved for the Hartford Fire Insurance Co. in 1890.

It pictures a stag looking off to his right with mountains and a cloudy sky. Does it have any value?

A: Sir Edwin Landseer (1802-1873) is an English painter best known for paintings of animals.

“Monarch of the Glen” was a painting done for the House of Lords in London, but the painting was sold.

The Hartford Fire Insurance Co. began using the stag fording a stream as a logo about 1861. The stag changed over the years and by 1875 the company was using a stag that looked like

the one painted by Landseer. In 1890, the John A. Lowell & Co. of Boston was commissioned to make an engraving of the picture.

Prints were distributed nationwide as part of the company’s advertising.

Your picture sells for about $40 to $50.

Tip: If a screw that holds hardware on an old piece of furniture is loose, you should remove it. Insert a wooden matchstick in the hole, then put the screw back in the hole and tighten the screw.

Rarely do I plant a bulb one at a time. If I have a package of a dozen or so tulips I will dig a hole big enough to dump them all in together. It’s a whole lot faster and will look more naturalistic when they come up and bloom.

Guardianship offer turns into family spat

DAILY CROSSWORD

Adapted from a recent online discussion.

Dear Carolyn: My wife and I were asked by family members if, should they die, we would take their kids. We said we wanted to think about it, and after a few days came back to them and said we would, but we first wanted to know a few things, like the details of their life insurance policies, whether they have savings set aside for their kids’ college, etc. The family members’ response was, “You know what? If it’s all about money to you, forget it.” They are now not returning our phone calls. Were we wrong to bring up money? Is there something we need to do to patch things up?

— Guardian If it were up to me to arbitrate this, I’d say yes, you were right to agree to be guardians; no, you weren’t wrong to bring up money; yes, you were wrong to attach a “but first” between the yes and the money. That does imply that you’d say no to helping these kids if you had to use your own money to do it, which isn’t quite the message any parent wants to hear.

If they don’t give you a chance to explain yourselves, then how does anyone in this situation move forward? At worst, an open follow-up discussion would confirm their low opinion of you and they could go back to ousting you from their lives. At best, you all stand to gain a better relationship than you had before this blowup if it’s just a matter of your saying, “Wait, I think I phrased that poorly — of course we’d make sure your kids were well cared for. I just wanted to know the full scope of that responsibility.”

Re: Guardian: The question about resources to care for children who may require guardians is entirely appropriate. And, anyone doing any sort of comprehensive estate planning should be having multiple conversations at once. We had to select our own proxies to make health-care decisions as well as financial decisions. And, a trust was set up for the financial welfare of any children who may require guardians. The friends who were gracious enough to accept these assignments were provided with a large envelope with every piece of information they should need, including copies of our wills. The advising, assembly and filing of the appropriate legal documents took about a month and cost less than $425. A bargain.

Whistleblower gets nowhere with officials Dear Abby: I am a widow in my early 50s. While I was dating a prominent OBGYN, I found out that he’s involved in criminal activity — operating a so-called “pill mill.” On our last date he asked me to join an escort service he was starting.

I notified the medical board of the state he’s practicing in and various government agencies. It amazes me that he is still practicing. He’s doing abortions, which means he has access to vulnerable young women. Knowing this, I have lost trust in our medical establishment. Nothing seems to affect this man’s success and practice.

I have given up and am moving far away. What should I do? — Ms. X, Somewhere In The USA Dear Ms. X: Having notified the proper authorities about this man’s activities, you have done everything you can.

Dear Abby: I wrote to you about my 97-year-old mother who was in failing health. My question was how to notify her out-ofstate elderly friends with news of her passing when the time came. My idea was to use her address book/ Christmas card list for addresses and then print a copy of her obituary with a short message thanking those friends for their letters, cards and support during her life. You sent me back a note that positively reinforced my idea.

My mother passed away earlier this year. I mailed the letters and received a response from almost every single person. Each one thanked me for letting them know the sad news. With your encouragement, I was able to handle this matter with respect and dignity. — Gayle In Arizona RIP HAYWIRE

DEAR ABBY Dear Gayle: I occasionally hear from readers asking if people I have advised actually follow my advice. I’m pleased my encouragement worked well for you. Thank you for letting us know.

Dear Abby: My boyfriend and I have been dating for five years and have three wonderful children between us.

Now, after a year of living together, we have begun to talk about marriage.

We are happy, but we are introverted people and our main focus at this time is on raising our kids. This has left us with few friendships and only a couple of close family members. If we do decide to get married, I’m worried about how many people we would be able to invite or if there would even be enough people to be in the ceremony itself. Do you have any suggestions for this kind of situation? — Shy Bride In Kansas Dear Shy Bride: A wedding doesn’t have to be fancy to be beautiful and meaningful. That’s why I suggest you and your boyfriend be married quietly in a ceremony officiated by a justice of the peace or clergyperson of your choice.

Ask your relatives and close friends to accompany you while you take your vows and have a small celebration afterward commensurate with your budget.

ABC Family changing name to Freeform The ABC Family network, home of youthful dramas “Pretty Little Liars” and “The Fosters,” said Tuesday it will change its name to Freeform this winter.

The rebranding reflects the Disney-owned network’s worries that its current name is a turnoff to its target audience of 14- to 34-year-old viewers.

“This is an evolution for our company that has been going on for a long time,” said Tom Ascheim, ABC Family president.

The changeover takes place Jan. 1. The company tested several different names but felt Freeform would describe and appeal to the audience it is seeking, young people heading out into the world and experiencing their first jobs and first loves, he said.

ABC Family’s ancestry dates to the 1970s as the Christian Broadcasting Network, started by Pat Robertson. It changed its name to The Family Channel in 1990 and was sold twice, first to Fox in 1997 and then to Disney in 2001, when it was rechristened ABC Family.

While changing the name, Ascheim said the network won’t change its focus or programming mix. ABC Family has seen declines, with its average prime-time audience slipping from 1.37 million five years ago to 970,000 this year.

TeLeVisiOn

Five reasons ‘MacGyver’ reboot will be a smash hit According to the Hollywood Reporter, CBS is rebooting “MacGyver.” Though typically we’d be skeptical of yet another take on an existing Hollywood property, it’s entirely possible that “MacGyver” will be just the thing to break out of the rehash slump. Here’s why: 1. James Wan, the brilliant Hollywood horror director who successfully helmed the most recent entry in the “Fast and the Furious” series, is attached to executive produce the project and direct the potential pilot, should the series development progress that far.

Wan’s distinct visual style would inevitably be a stark departure from the CBS house style, an absolutely necessity for the network to lure a young audience.

2. For all the reboots on previously successful television products that Hollywood has attempted over the last decade or so, CBS has one of the few unmitigated successes in “Hawaii Five-0.”

The show’s sixth-season premiere last month drew more than 8 million viewers and also boasts one of the most effortlessly diverse casts on television, particularly significant on a network that sometimes faces criticism for being too white. If a reboot on a previous TV property

is going to be successful, CBS is as good a place as any for it to be.

3. All you need is to find an undiscovered talent with the charisma of a young Richard Dean Anderson. We humbly submit Josh Holloway, since apparently no one is going to cast him in a “Rockford Files” reboot any time soon.

4. If anyone is going to be capable of forcing America back into the ‘80s model of television consumption, it’s going to be MacGyver. He’ll have all those pesky DVRs and streaming options dismantled in no time.

5. Science is super cool right now. With “The Martian” earning $55 million at the box office, astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson with a whopping 4.3 million Twitter

followers and original recipe “CSI” going off the air, CBS has a readymade hit in science-friendly “MacGyver.” Pitched just the right way, “MacGyver” could reinvent the action-adventure genre like “CSI” reinvented the procedural.

Although all of this may very well be true, it’s much more likely that “MacGyver” will not be the show that saves television, for one very simple reason.

1. Reboots are not the future of television.

Despite Netflix’s “Fuller House” and Fox’s “Minority Report” and NBC’s “Heroes” and ABC’s “Uncle Buck” and CBS’ “Rush Hour,” reboots are the exception to television success, not the rule.

Today is Thursday, October 8, the 281st day of 2015. There are 84 days left in the year.

In 1918, U.S. Army Cpl. Alvin C. York led an attack that killed 25 German soldiers and captured 132 others in the Argonne Forest in France.

In 1934, Bruno Hauptmann was indicted by a grand jury in New Jersey for murder in the death of the kidnapped son of Charles and Anne Morrow Lindbergh.

In 1945, President Harry S. Truman told a press conference in Tiptonville, Tennessee,

that the secret scientific knowledge behind the atomic bomb would be shared only with Britain and Canada.

In 1956, Don Larsen pitched the only perfect game in a World Series to date as the New York Yankees beat the Brooklyn Dodgers in Game 5, 2-0.

In 1957, the Brooklyn Baseball Club announced it was accepting an offer to move the Dodgers from New York to Los Angeles.

In 1967, former British Prime Minister Clement Attlee died in London at age 84.

In 1970, Soviet author Alexander Solzhenitsyn was named winner of the Nobel Prize for literature.

In 1982, all labor organizations in Poland, including Solidarity, were banned.

In 1998, the House triggered an open-ended impeachment inquiry against President Bill Clinton in a momentous 258-176 vote; 31 Democrats joined majority Republicans in opening the way for nationally televised impeachment hearings.

Fall doesn’t just involve colorful leaves, rainy days and halloween candy; it’s also the time to close the pool, caulk windows, clean gutters and the list goes on. In fact, preparing for fall involves a great many jobs. Here are a few of them.

Put away deck furniture and barbecue, unless it’s set up to be used year round. Drain and store garden hoses and turn off any outside taps.

Clean gutters and make sure they drain properly.

Inspect the roof. Make sure skylights, roof shingles and seals on chimneys or vents are in good condition. Do any necessary repairs.

Have your chimney cleaned and your fireplace inspected to prevent fires. Make sure smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are working well, and then change the batteries (they should be replaced every year).

Examine the foundations and the exterior siding, and fix any cracks to prevent water or air infiltration.

Check the slope of the ground and make any modifications to ensure rainwater drains away from your home. Check the sump pump to avoid any unpleasant surprises during heavy rainfall or the spring melt.

Check your deck or balcony. Make sure railings and

steps are safe, and replace rotten or damaged planks.

Check if the deck is adequately lit and take advantage of the mild weather to replace bulbs in outdoor fixtures.

Inspect doors and windows. To keep cold and damp from entering the house, replace damaged seals and weather stripping. Remove window air conditioners.

Remove bug screens to prevent condensation and maximize the amount of winter sunlight entering your home.

Check all outlets (central vacuum, drier, range hood, etc.) and make sure the vent covers close properly.

Clean the filters of your air exchanger and heating system. Vacuum inside any furnace registers. Verify that the heating system is working properly. In fact, fall is the perfect time to have it checked out by a professional.

Improve the air quality in your home by vacuuming the baseboard heaters, carpets, curtains and fabriccovered chairs.

Test your water if you have a well.

Clean the garbage floor catch basin. If it connects with the house plumbing, make sure the automatic valve closes properly.
